I's not fair to impose your views or mistakes on everyone else. Everyone is not the same and just as she state's the doctor had good intentions. ..his own intension may have an adverse effeCT ...on opioid  pain management.  I am on management and because of all the media hype..people who need it are already struggling to simply maintain their own legitimate pain management. . I have  a  human right to maintain my own medical needs. There doesn't need to be anice iron fisthe over doctors head..merely education.    This infuriates me....I want to sue assholes trying to use my body as a pin cushion to avoid prescribing opiods..doctors should not have to live in fear. .thus being forced into substandard care...what's good or right for one person isn't for another. .and shouldn't be forced to live in agony because of laws created by healthy people who have never experienced pain..


I notice Ohio Dan who had his military discipline going now has a pot belly.


It's only sport. It shouldn't be taken too seriously. It's ENTERTAINMENT people! E. Bouchard & these other (overpaid) tennis players make more money than the average person makes in a year (etc.)! If I was ranked 60th in the tennis world I would be ecstatic! (that makes ONLY 59 other people better than Bouchard!) She has plenty of time after her tennis career to deal with real life. Let Bouchard enjoy her time as a tennis player for crying out loud! She is a VERY good CANADIAN tennis player. Canadian tennis fans can be very PROUD of her! Professional athletes' careers are short enough. Cathal Kelly since you love to do nothing but criticise, why don't YOU play tennis with Bouchard & I CAN guarantee she'd make you eat your words! Cathal, let me know when YOU are ranked better than 60th in the world in professional journalism?!


Great article, this country needs a shake up badly....and I have a feeling it is coming soon.  And it would really, really help if the East Coast would vote with the west and put Conservatives in, not the Liberals who are bought and paid for by Quebec.  Why do you keep voting for the people who slit your throats?


I only wish Donald understood what a great opportunity he squandered by being mentally ill..This is like Monty python stuff it's almost to funny to laugh at, but I can't help it for the tears...


In a time when everyone is a racist, no one is a racist.


Can we sell Trudeau to the Chinese- nay-- give him away.


lol, nothing like in-state rivalry, but yes things go too far, and someone claiming their neutral by (wink, wink) claiming they "support both teams" but their kids are wearing CSU shirts and get (gulp!) "verbally accosted!" should look inward, and realize. . it's just a sporting event.  We have two of the best university's in the nation in CU and CSU, and rivalries are healthy more than they are a real public danger.  OK, one team lost, get over it, move on, make excuses why your team lost, but don't start blaming the fans/students for your frustration.  I'd hate to see this event cancelled because of disruptive fans, but as long as we get into this tit-for-tat argument, which fans are more "verbally abusive" things will head south.  I'll never forget 25 years ago, returning to my home state of Iowa to watch my "dance with the one that brung ya" Buffaloes take on my childhood favorite Hawkeyes.  As Colorado had one the game we turned to leave as a hurled ice cooler hit me in the head.


And the cost of living in San Francisco or  Los Angeles or Sacramento or Seattle is thousands more per year as well.

Apples and oranges comparisons  provide nothing.


So true, so true!


The worst tax scofflaw in the nation gets revenge on the agency which allowed him to escape taxation for most of his life.  Only the little people pay taxes - Leona Helmsley.  One of Trump's fellow New York Hoteliers joined with the Trump criminal RICCO conspiracy throughout New York City and beyond.  Billionaires freed from any fear of audit will be free to loot what remains of the national economy.  All protected by the massive increases to the Military Budget to ensure maximum arms against the citizens.  The perfect storm of Republican Fascist Nazi rule by the 4th Reich combining control of governing, economy, and military.  Time for Revolution.


Oh really? My memory must be getting bad because I don't remember any rioting, looting, burning, or calling for the assassination of Obama either time he was elected. So please cite me some examples of that happening.


Really???

I loved La Loma. Now you want to take La Loma and turn it into a CIA Hyde Park crap 5 star.
We are your customers, we loved La Loma, now you got your dough and you want to be the Hudson Valley of I-25. Go for it, you are making a big mistake. If we wanted a Route 9 New York CIA joint, we have several to choose from. We know food, we travel, we have money! But we don't want New York crap food! All we wanted was La Loma. You want to Re-invent yourself into some crap NY junk!
By the way, the CIA takes anyone with a GED!


They spent too much money on power generation capacity we didn't need, not the least of which was the subsidization of solar and wind projects through the FIT program, and under-invested in sustaining capital projects to address aging transmission infrastructure.


This is ridiculous.  It's not like he was buying himself surfboards, going to nightclubs or on family vacations.  It is/was to support a community activity.  Why would this be a bad thing to support a healthy lifestyle (other than the possible after game refreshments) lifestyle and community involvement?


What happened to "Government, by and for the people"? Now it's, "Government by and for monetizing the people"


Indeed. "Lock em up" is not the solution. A fair trial and death sentence is far more appropriate.

PLBs and satellite messengers can be rented.


Kellie Leitch offers absolutely nothing.  All she offers are solutions to non-existent problems.  She's had virtually nothing to say on any issue other than her so-called 'Canadian values'.


Yes , 75 MPH = 110 ft/sec ....but the article states he went diagonally across the median... additionally, it does not actually ever say how wide the median is in the area of this accident....without the angle of his diagonal, the width of the median and his speed, we cannot estimate how long of a time he was in the median before entering oncoming traffic.


Remember Loony Thabo the AIDS denier? Not a peep from any of them including Trev. An absolute disgrace, all of them.


It must SUCK to live in fear........................


At one point, as documented by Matt Carey, three different statements - only two of which are found in the available transcripts - are spliced together, taken out of context, in way that misrepresents the meaning of the two available statements. They are put together to mean something else. That's misrepresentation.

There is no credible evidence supporting a link between vaccines and autism, and abundant evidence showing there is none.

Next, a 1% sales tax for alternative energy assistance. Then 1% for urban bird houses. Then 1% for suspenders for youth with sagging britches.... If the public likes art, it will buy art. It doesn't need gov't forcing its taste on them. If this was going towards something that truly alleviated human suffering, like homeless shelters or public health clinics I could see it, but art is in the eye of the beholder. Will graffiti "artists" be subsidized now? Why not? To many of them what they are doing is beautifying their environment. Forcing others to pay for your idea of beautification is tyrannical and despotic. Shame, shame, shame.

Actually, it's common. Cold Bay was an alternate runway for the space shuttles!


Stepping away from the cultural aspect and moving into the political arena, nice.


Agree. He played well. The foul trouble looks to me like partly a technical issue and partly a self-control issue. Gotta keep the energy inside the technical limits and not trigger the auto-foul call. It should just take some work and focus.


Failed monopoly party?  Why no comment about the failed republican party who has abandoned its traditional views.  You are probably  too young to remember Eisenhower, the last republican president who actually balanced the budget.

Why would anyone be other than a Democrat when the other party is so bad?


Justin Trudeau continues to fawn to the interests of those who've dangled chump change to the Federal Liberal Party and the Trudeau foundation.  He is selling Canada out, against the interests and wished of its own citizens for fractions of a cent in the dollar.

That electoral blade is drawing inexorably closer act by foolish act.


Not enough Penceisdaman. Donate another $500 in my name too.


Break out the water cannons and hose those cry bully leftists back into the sewer they crawled out from.


Your rant makes no sense...so now IT is the most absurd thing I've seen posted here.

We now have no children or families? Leave 270 million people alone? What about the other 53 or so million? Work for money for who? "You people" have "nothing" for human life? And do stop making assumptions and generalizations about people, okay?

If you can explain what you are talking about....Maybe I can help you.


Raise all the funds you want. Alaskans won't forget the Legislature's lack of action related to dealing with the State budget, and the subsequent raiding of the PFD. Incumbents will be in the crosshairs like never before.


The House vote to establish this small wolf protection area next to our number one tourism asset - Denali - is fantastic!  Along with the Fairbanks borough resolution in support last summer, the thousands of letters in support from Alaskans and others, it is high time for Governor Walker to wake up and do this administratively, for all Alaskans.

it will be foolish the entire time... you, I believe, are saying that the values will be higher in 10 or 20 years - which is likely true - but would you want to make $1 in 10 years or $10 in 10 years?

I too called Lisa's office, specifically yesterday.  I encountered the exact problem as Ms.Carr.  Interestingly I too was attempting to comment on Trump's education secretary nominee who I believe would be a disaster for public education.  Sullivan's office was easy to get a hold of and I finally got through to Lisa's Fairbanks office.


An H bomb now. Thanks 0bama.

I was under the impression that modifiers such as gentleman or lady have been passe for at least a decade, as they imply class structure. As long as the remainder of one's behaviour toward the patient is respectful and consistent, regardless of position in society, all is good.
 It takes years of training and professionalism to compartmentalize one's response to unpleasant professional experiences vs those encountered at other times in life. In healthcare settings and in my personal experience, I have only experienced these unpleasant sights as part of the clinical picture and sought to improve the state of the patient, not considered the impact on my sensitivities.


A few years ago, I was told that an autopsy showed that a close personal friend of mine had died of natural causes and was in fact, not murdered as was suspected earlier in the investigation.I took this as good news, since being murdered is undoubtedly the worst way to die. I'm pretty sure that if much evidence showed that millions of my relatives were not murdered, I would weep with joy and celebrate into the early hours.But whenever anyone even so much as questions the official Holocaust  Narrative, people pretty much go nuts with anger and type things like "____ you" from their little pulpit. Such questions are a criminal offense in every Western country except that place called America, where freedom of speech has not been gutted, or "filtered." What "truth" needs protection from the state and media ?


Yeah. I don't know what all the particulars are, but unless wrongdoing can be proved on the part of the developer, then the state may be held liable for losses. But I'm no lawyer, however, in the past, I have taken many tenants to court, and a breach of contract has consequences, and it appears the state is in breach.


This art teacher has said he wept for days because of the election result. Maybe he was advised to try art therapy?


In fairness to Jennifer, her column unlike many actually feature numerous reminders that the stocks being presented merely meet the breakout criteria which in itself doesn't make for bulletproof recommendation.

"A technical analysis screen does not replace fundamental analysis, but can help identify companies worth having a closer look at."

Oddly enough some people on the one hand plead non stop for the Globe to provide them with a free Finance 101 course and on the other routinely proclaim their ability to earn annual lofty returns while keeping 70% of their money parked on the sidelines.

Don't stop transgenders from enlisting. Just make them sign an agreement that they will be fully responsible for their own medical expenses relating to their condition and the military will not help them cover any of the costs. Under this agreement, they will receive the same basic medical care any other soldier would receive, just no hormonal treatments. If they don't agree, they can't enlist. If they join and attempt to renege on the deal, they will be released from service and given a dishonorable discharge.


the cops left the scene?   THEY LEFT?????   LEAVING THE GOOD SAMARITAN ALONE WITH THE TEENS TO FEND FOR HIMSELF?   after the older man who had spoken up on behalf to those cops. to those teens who had been fighting?  OMG!  can i sue the police for negligence  on behalf of this man?  can i  please ask the cops why they thought that was going to be a good idea?  how did they see that scenario concluding?
 of course the first question i would ask is how accurate is THIS STORY REPORTED? i think we readers of the RG should ask that every time we read a story.  enough truly shoddy work done in this paper to make that a valid question.

The concept of producers having to resort to  hiring "right-wing writers" in order to portray a conservative character accurately reveals both how out of touch and dysfunctional Hollywood is at the moment. It implies that hiring is done based on where one stands in the political spectrum as opposed to their ability to create or portray a believable character. And it reveals that producers tend to surround themselves with those whom they feel socially compatible instead of those who might understand the audience.


Be patient, it took Woodward and Bernstein over two years to take down Nixon...I will say that the sooner he resigns or is impeached, the better for our country...


Very generally, but proving to be true too often is that Hedge Funds come and go leaving a trail of destruction in their path.......


Easy enough to find out.  Just go ask the many, many states that already do it.


Why don't these Pharmacies lock their drugs up in a Drug Safe every night before they leave?  Maybe we should pass more Drug Laws?

This was a small oil and gas company and that had approval from Pres. Bush and then Pres. Obama caused a small oil company great harm, who is surprised?
Thank God these Alaska oil workers still have jobs because these outrageous fines could have bankrupt this small oil and gas company that did no harm but now provides gas to keep Americans warm, what a crime!


1) What is FWAB?
2) Is there no waste or fraud in the private sector medical insurance market? Or has it somehow magically freed itself from such human frailty?


Absolutely!  I agree completely. Canada needs to stop letting in all (non-white) people from around the world.  Enough is enough.  (non-white) People from the around the world should not be allowed to own property in Canada.  Only (white) Canadian people should be.

Enough is enough.


Maybe you're part of the Russian deep state propaganda machine.  How many Rubles are you getting paid?


Jews who supported Trump are as loathsome as gays like Peter Thiel or transgendered people like Caitlyn Jenner who did so. I have no use for any of them.


Noooooo! How could they have shot and killed this bear? Why didn't they try and reason with it? Why didn't they just shut down the post office for the day, send everyone home but leave the back doors open so the bear could have left. What is this world coming to? I'm sure Ted Stevens Airport could have easily diverted the flights to Fairbanks for the afternoon to quiet things down. The police should have closed down Postmark drive until the bear wandered out on its own. All they had to do was put a trail of peanut butter and donuts leading out the door, wait a few days and problem solved.

I see both sides of this almost daily.  i try to ride ~150 km a week so i spend a fair amount of time on my bike.  I've been on roads where drivers pass me so close i can touch them and they make zero attempt to even slow down.  I've been hit by two cars, both making right hand turns without looking and turned on top of me.  I've had people walking on the trails and cross right in front of me without bothering to look both ways first and i am doing 20km/h.  Flip side, i have been passed on those 20km/h zones by others who think it is their personal "time trial"..  I've also seen people walking 5 deep and blocking the entire pathway even thought it is marked dual use (walking/cycling).


Just wait until the FARTS program kicks in
(That is Trudeau's' carbon and methane reduction programs)


IRT Palani, fully agree with your post.  Since 1974 when marijuana was added as a Schedule 1 illegal drug, all research has shown that marijuana belongs on the list as a Schedule 1 illegal drug.  Today, more scientific data is becoming available for all of us to evaluate.  My opinion, the scientific results are not in favor of marijuana.


It was pretty clear yesterday that this Bill would fail. It doesn't meet the requirements of either end of the Republican spectrum and would hurt a lot of poor and elderly Americans. Now comes the showdown between the House Freedom types and the rest of the GOP. Great viewing.


The one thing DEMS had in common is they didn't care THEIR candidate was a lying career criminal with obligations to countries that murder gays and Christians AND treat their women worse than their dogs... Guess that tells us a LOT about the LEFT and THEIR lack of values.


The only model in the link with a price attached is the bolt.  That price is nearly double the cost of what you would pay for a similar conventional car.  If this gap cannot be closed then the niche status will remain.  There are several other factors which will hold these models in the niche status.  You are familiar with them based on our previous conversations here.  Range and a lack of rapid recharge.  Plus the debugging period with the tech has not even begun.


I believe Safe Seattle on Facebook pulls the trigger rather too quickly on banning thoughtful members of the community.


I think this old ex Alabama governor's plumbing is all worn out and pulling down one's pants would be pointless.  Seems he just needed some spicy phone sax and saxting with his aide since his wife was not into that.  His boo boo was that he did not understand all of the taxpayer supported Ipads he and his wife used all had the same ICloud account that shares email, texts and pictures across all of his Apple devices.   If the buggah was not so cheap and bought an Ipad for his wife with his own money, his Ipad would not have been 'connected'.  Will give his wife credit for divorcing her dirty old man husband UNLIKE Hillary Clinton who stuck with her serial cheating husband cause she wanted to ride Bill's coattails to the Whitehouse which later twice gave her a chance to be Pres of the US.


France is a country of dubious moral and ethical integrity so perhaps Reguly is right & France will defend her as it tries to hang on to the illusion they are still a great country.

 France's historical failures as a colonial power still haunt the world with almost all there former colonies being poorly developed socially and economically,  dictator or torrorist dominated with suffering people due to French mismanagement (a rare exception being Quebec, which had the good fortune of being abandoned by the French & going on to invent their own unique French language based culture within a predominantly British colony. Note the British are the diametric of the French, their failed colonies are the exception rather than rule). I add this commentary to illustrate a result that shows France's vacuity on the moral and ethical as a world player.

Finally, the rise of populism in France gives hope people will reject the defence of Legarde: the elites are bankrupt, not the French people?


As far as “Spring Awakening” itself is concerned… I don’t know either the text or the music, but everything I have heard from those involved is that it is going to be an extremely powerful event that has already changed these kids' lives in a remarkable way, & this is coming from some of the most highly respected folks in my life, parents and students alike. Some of the cast members in this show are THE most genuine and brilliant and caring individuals I have *ever* worked with, out of at least 1000 throughout my career. They are one class act after another, & as I cringe to witness the crapstew of our world as portrayed in the news and social media, it’s young people like these that give any hope whatsoever in the darkest hours. I consider these kids to be role models for *me* in many ways. And I don’t say that poetically or metaphorically, but in the most literal sense.They are undoubtedly some of the best people I know, & I can all but promise you this show will reflect that. (cont)


It is like a 'city within a city' in some places. I've never had problem being or feeling threatened, I'd wager most don't want the cops busting up their spot. I just wish they would work to keep the trash to a minimum, that would go a long way towards improving perceptions IMO.


Really?  An embarrassment to humanity ... if you said that about Hitler, Jeffery Dalmers, Charles Manson that would make sense.  One thing that both sides tend to have are the drama queens.

How long has the investigation been going on?  What exactly has been found?  How many times has it been said on the major news outlets "here is the proof".

Manifort might be guilty of something and Trump canned him quickly.  But we do know Clintons received moneys and nothing is said.


You go Girl! Sen Giessel is my Sen by way of gerrymandering I recieved her ususal update on for the days happenings. For the first day of the special session her explanation was that it was the GOVERNORS fault for adding things! I am not making this up, never mind all the time wasted on Guns on campus and daylight savings and what not. It was eerly similar to the piece by Sen Meyer, nothing is my fault. Is there an adult in the lot?Can they take repsponsibility for any thing?It is very clear by her news letter that Sen Giessel thinks we should spend our revenue on BP and not schools or healthcare, as her boss I disagree.


What did Nostradamus say about all this?


Hi Lela, I was going to say the same to you -- and study the meaning of the word socialism while you're at it -- but I guess you've already studied these things so I'll withhold the comment. :-)


Tuggs can you please elaborate?   San Diego's trolly doesn't go to or through Mission Hills. It does go through downtown San Diego and I have never seen it impeding traffic between there and Old Town. Across the San Diego River I was stopped once to wait for a trolley crossing, very briefly.


"In many ways, they're doing much better than the men. (Just look at the lopsided university graduation rates, which are now around 60-40)".
Women in STEM/computers (useful degree) is a tiny fraction,yet women totally dominate the arts (useless degrees) while men dominate the trades which usually pay better.

"Today, most men can have all the sex they want for very little cost"
Nope,studies show that 10% of the single men get 90% of the sex.

"and the arrival of online dating sites, which make it easy for men to find willing sex partners."
I've looked on tinder,it was 95% men.None of my friends had any success on Tinder.

"The marriage rate is falling steadily, especially among the lower middle class, while long-term stable marriage is increasingly a privilege reserved for the better off."
This just proves the point that women want the guy with tons of dough.

"including online porn on demand that can make the real thing feel mildly disappointing."
What does this even mean?


Thats funny considering the video of the "liberals" who attacked his event.

If you are fine with the usual laughable college shouters showing up to his event having their usual tantrum, while you are then complaining about this guy and his politics...

Let us try another tact, you are OK with 20ish screamers while you think that another faction has learned by wrote?


The problem is that the taxes will go to general revenue and be frittered away on pet projects.


Well now Ernie, come and visit with me my friends in Atka. Even though you are an out-to-lunch racist, they will invite you into their homes and offer you the harbor seal, sealion, pogy, urchin eggs, salmon, reindeer and etc. that they don't actually subsist on according to your twisted view. You are brazenly inaccurate. I've been there, you obviously haven't or if you have, only as a drive by.

Deep seated: “firmly established at a deep or profound level.” – Google

Homosexual: “sexuality of those oriented to persons of the same gender/sex.” – Common knowledge/known


I think the news said Hillary redirected the money to another worthy cause. Should have returned the money to Weinstein but instead gets a charitable deduction by taking this route.


"The trip was paid for by the Prison Law Office, a Berkeley, Calif.-based nonprofit law firm that sues for better conditions for prisoners"
Enough said.  The lack of respect for the law sends them to prison, lack of respect for law enforcement keeps them coming back.


This is not free enterprise, this is FAKE privatization. The OLG a crown corporation with a MONOPOLY is 'awarding' a GTA monopoly to a private company to run Woodbine. The Workers at OLG Slots at Woodbine, which I am a member of have been locked out by the OLG because of a labour dispute. The OLG is demanding its workers in casinos and slot facilities will no longer be public service workers and thus removing our pension language from our collective agreements. Apparently those who came up with the 'Modernization Plan' will keep their government jobs and their sunshine list salaries 100+ k. Yet the rest of us who earn anywhere between 20 k to 45 k our jobs will be outsourced with only a 1 year guarantee.  This reminds me a lot of the 407, where taxpayers built up an industry only to be turned over to a private operator. This makes no sense as future casino profits will be shared with new owners. There should be an immediate freeze to all sale of business until after the  election.

I detest Rob Ford. He is dead, and I still completely detest that poor excuse of a man. However he is still loved in Etobicoke, and naming an Etobicoke stadium after Rob Ford is something I can live with. Just don't bring anything "Rob Ford" on this side of the Humber River.


Are you not quite awake? Your narrative sounds much like a dream you just had and as most dreams, virtually impossible - unless of course, rewrite of the Constitution was in your dream, too?.


Very well stated.  Thanks.


thank you so much...i always admired Tom Petty...have a good night...


The Bible is not the only source of evidence.   Creation calls out that it was created.  Miracles happen and are denied.   Man's heart calls out for its creator.
Your 're-evaluation' is similar to what you call re-interpretation of the Word.  As has been played out here, there indeed can be different interpretations of what different passages mean.  Is that not similar to what happens in scientific circles?
Also, you say that the knowledge that produced things like computers just happened to pop into somebody's brain.  True, it might be based on some other idea, but it just happened.  Similarly evolutionists say life happened.  A chance happening.  Does that actually not take more faith than believing in a creator?   I know you are going to  counter that this solar system is not unique, but still is it not interesting that this system is set up just right for life?   Miracle upon miracle upon miracle would've had to happen for evolution to work.


That's pretty harsh and very judgmental, and your statement presupposes attitudes and beliefs you can't possibly know.  None of those condemnations are true of ALL of us, even though many of us share a few in common.  You might also admit to McHale that you haven't updated your own allegiance to the RCC to include Vat II since almost everything you write refers to concepts held predating the Council.


When the principal hires a coach who had similar problems at another school this is what you get.

With Carbon taxes, higher gas taxes, pensions. cap & trade, highest electricity rates, debts increased at an alarm level  introduced by both Liberal parties, Ontario & Canada future looks very bleak, but I believed in our PM 's selfies and what he told us "The budget will balance itself".
How naive the citizens of this country become and trusted in all politicians' lies and empty promises during election.


That's not why the cost has gone up. Really, open a book or simply read the entire article.


APU's ski program produces more olympians than the whole UA sports entertainment industry in its entirety.

UA can move to a club model. They already have for woman's hockey.

Burdening a student body with college loan debt through mandated fees and tuition to subsidize a sports entertainment industry is immoral at best and perhaps criminal.
We are not Trump University.

UA has user fees for field trips, lab fees, why not "pay to play." If you want to be on a UA intrrcollegiate athletic team it should be worth paying $20,000 for the privilege. Either a college athletic experince has value than can be monetized with user fees or it is not worth very much.


I don't believe that's true across the board. I believe there are still some principled members of both parties serving in Washington. The question is, how many and how courageous are they?


At the congressional seat level there really wasn't a way that they could 'safely' force a 4-3 or 5-2 set of congressional districts. They could force a 3 safe Dem seat 2 safe republican seat and 2 competitive districts that pitted 2 incumbent Republicans against each other. Lest anyone forget Colorado was for a couple decades a solidly 4-2 5-2 Republican house majority even while Democrats controlled the statehouse due to the differences in redistricting at the state level.

But this is nothing new.  Anyone with a half a brain could tell that Colorado's legislative districts have been gerrymandered by the Democrats either in the legislature or through the courts (more recently always the courts) for the past 40+ years.


If you can't say anything without name calling, please stop commenting.


I guess I'm not against a requirement for testing of CBD, but the fact is that cannabidiol is one of the most well studied cannabis derivatives, shown to have unique and beneficial pharmacological properties, and is legitimately indispensable to some medical patients.  It would amaze me if Charlotte's Webb, a nationally distributed CBD extract isn't already tested for strength and purity.  I hope the control board resolves this question expeditiously and allows this product back on the market, as quite frankly it is safer and more beneficial than THC, which they are allowing to remain on the market.


IF you happened to listen to Brett Baier's interview with Debbie Wasserman Schultz, head of the DNC last night you may wonder how such a poorly speaking head ever got her job.  She must have repeated the phrase "at the end of the day" at least 6 times,  What a disgrace.


No, your statement has no basis in fact. He didn't 'play dead or injured'; he was seriously injured and barely alive. He didn't assassinate 'the medic trying to help him'.  Please do not make statements that are untrue in support of your opinions.


Beam me up Scotty, there's no intelligent life down here.


That'll learn em !


Exactly, that's one of the points Mr. Wehner made.  regards, Gary


18 years and the guy was right there. Wonder if the ex is who turned him in?


I've got some old 16mm films my father took in the late 30's and 40's around Alaska. Wish I could afford to get them digitized---too expensive! Air show in the mid 40's at Merrill Field, a hangar fire at Merrill field, ski jumping and slalom in Cordova, Bristol bay in the 40's and early 50's etc.


What they're espousing now is not the Dutch tolerance of old.


I won't be voting for Ms Collins in 2018.


That would be "Hobart" road


We have no plans to travel to the USA while Trump is in office. There are plenty of other choices in Canada and around the world.


Joe, you don't get it, do you? Read what Justice Zabel said about his own behaviour:

“I find it very difficult to find the words to express my profound regret for what I did that day,” said Zabel.


Nope, I support that decision (still don't like Wynne though).

The best way to raise wages is to create good jobs. Canadian politicians should copy Trump and cut regulations, cut taxes, and end those bad "free trade" deals.  But they won't.


Reign in spending.   You have a spending problem not a revenue problem.    Money for the CBC, Bombardier, other countries, pet projects, but now we are selling our furniture to keep the government ponzi scheme alive.    As government workers retire at age 55 like Kings and Queens.    Unsustainable !


Like many others I have no faith in this government to get this right.

The only thing going well in Ontario is real estate and if this blows up it will have negative consequences on the whole economy.


Nothing:  Yes, hetro people are usually more discrete because most have common sense and think about what is appropriate and what is not.  Hetro"s   are not out to flaunt the fact that they are in a relationship.  Lesbians want to flaunt it as a Power Grab control trip.   Problem is, a majority of the public do NOT agree with it as in this case as its DISRUPTING classes,  and may affect the teacher’s work performance, student relationships, teacher relationships, the regular operation of school or except as it may conflict with the statutory responsibilities of the school board.

Read the Sign Dr. Parent:  Keep your sexual desires and behaviors  at HOME, or at the MOTEL...................


It's so sad that universities are not only stepping back into the in loco parenti mode that was the norm in the '50s, but now they are abandoning the notion that they are market places of ideas in favor of pressure to conform.

For those who find themselves offended by other people's remarks: Either make a cogent argument against their stance, or re-examine your own position; perhaps they are correct, hurtful though it may seem to admit it. Meanwhile, follow the oft-given advice of cyclists: htfu.


The guy didn't even hold the job for a day before he was booted.


You are not in the majority. Trump won, and so did 3 republicans in the last 3 special elections. The real afront was Hilary and her lies and graft at public expense. Like Russia controls 20% of our uranium. Hmmmmnnnn....Facebook ads or Uranium...what is more dangerous? Trump is probably an afront to "restorative justice" but definitely not to justice.


I said that earlier also Kami888. elway will sit on his hands and do nothing


ugh cholo needs to stay away from bad burritos. ended up on the throne taking a schatz for almost an hour.


Yep, looked a lot like the last 3 weeks with Siemian.

Ugh.


OMG - I am so sick of these stories.  why are people so deceitful? so greedy, so willing to lick the floor of the bus?   is no low too low?  a real estate agent...making a chunka off this woman?  Boyst...Lange?  throw both their behinds on a work crew.  sick of this crooked cr*p.  our laws need ot toughen up or we can just kiss our collective behinds goodbye. once again, divided we fall.  MS LANGE - MS BOYST - if you had any ethics - 2 weeks from yesterday would have been each of your last day on your job..  shame shame shame shame. you s*ck at being a public employee.  go away.


False - gerrymandering is a practice intended to establish a political advantage for a particular party or group by manipulating district boundaries.

Nowhere did I say or pointed that the change in district was for political purposes.  It was for population demographics based on economics of the two islands.

You must be thinking on party terms and feel this impinges on your party advantage.


This USAF commander disagrees with you, Bill

Really great that fans are staying away from something so serious. Taylor shouldn't be overwhelmed with worrying about her fans at a time like this, and the fans understand that.


The domestic terrorists at the company called "civil comments" are attempting to destroy your first amendment right to free speech!
Only in communist countries or in Nazi Germany you had to have approval of your speech by your peers!
That's not the United States of America!
That's Russia under the iron fist of a loser named Putin!
RESIST LOSING YOUR 1st Amendment right!
Here is the communists website I HOPE all hackers that are reading this understand it is time to take this website down are you listening @ "anonymous" our free-speech is being destroyed by these losers
Be a real American patriot like Thomas Jefferson and George Washington that fought for our first amendment rights for free speech !

That doesn't excuse slew-footing and two-handed slashes to the back of the head. Ovie should be gone for several games but the league is more concerned with television ratings than anything else. Bank on that.


Maybe, but it's more likely that a lot of Green votes would shift to the NDP in an attempt to put that party over the top more decisively. And it's also possible that, having given Clark a warning, some erstwhile Liberal voters will return to the Liberal fold.  The large Green vote could be a one-time thing.


Yes. I like their experience but they seem too political. I'm not sure that they would want to rock the boat and clean up the force of the "bad apples".

My guess is that investigations need to be started and punishments dealt out. I would also guess that most of the dept needs fixing. There needs to be a lot of re-education as well.

The commission also needs to stop political promotions as well. Police work can be life or death. We need professionals on the job and not the best campaign worker.


Mr. Joseph of Portland is a "day late and a dollar short."  Environmentalists of all stripes have been denouncing Earth  First's claim  from the time it was reported.  While there might be a few radical  nuts out there hiding behind their anonymity,  I don't know a single true environmentalist who supports the disgusting practice of tree spiking.  Nor do we know if the reported log  spiking at Noti even happened.
       The real threat to loggers, mill workers and trees is discussed  in today's article "26 million trees have died   in the Sierra Nevada."


I know bogus when I see it. In many ways, from what I've seen, the entire field of forest management looks so laden with ideology as to be dangerous to the human future. That's what I bring to the table; the ability to recognize the point where ideology overtakes science.

I read the Society of American Forester' statement on man-made climate change, for instance.  While they DO recognize that MMCC is a primary concern for future forestry--unlike you--their response to it is so self serving as to take your breath away. It could have been written by PR flacks from Georgia Pacific or Weyerhaeuser.

http://climatechange.lta.org/wp-content/uploads/cct/2015/03/climate_change_SAF1.pdf

I guess you come by your ideological biases honestly, but, seriously, bro', you've earned the invective even if you ARE only the messenger for an entirely compromised discipline.  Forestry reminds me of the economists I used to know, a political ideology camouflaged as a science.


That will make a nice down payment on the carport.


One of the few actual FN leaders in Canada who has a positive outlook that his people can be self reliant. He ad the Osoyoos Band have done remarkable things building business and jobs within their community I still would like to know if they have plans of severing all finical aid with the Feds and special tax status to truly become an independent Nation that doesn't rely on us taxpayers.
No wonder most of the other FN leaders look down at him and try to browbeat him into their engrained belief they must always rely on the taxpayer..... he's talking sensible stuff that they don't want any part of.


I stopped flying Frontier ,but hats off to them if they are really more profitable under this new system, I guess there are a people that will take infinite abuse as long as the price is right?


I think our government is influenced by bad decisions. This is Canada, not United States, we do not incubate that many start ups nor can we compete being even 10% of what Silicon valley is.....

There are not that many tech jobs in Canada, and we already have a robust work visa program giving over 100,000 work visas a year way more than H1B visas in US

This is a ploy by companies to keep wages low!!


Yes. It would be fitting for the underperforming Raiders to once again repay their fans by beginning another decades-long run of losing.


"....or to admit too and she corrected the prosecuted a few times:  Corrected the Prosecution - LMAO..never heard it stated in those words.  corrected the prosecution/.....  did the prosecution "correct her" back.?  RU her bestie?


Ramaphosa should have admitted to all the allegations and disclosed even worse.

The ANC reward the worst scum. If he has not committed those acts, he may as well start today.

Remember JZ has a minimum of 780-odd charges and he still was the ANC's head of moral regeneration.


“Canada is unwavering in our commitment to fight climate change and support clean economic growth"

Wynne said that in Ontario.  We all know how well that worked.


"Glenn McGillivray is the managing director at the Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction in Toronto."

As if Torranna could do better if 1300mm fell on it over three days?

You can cut the author's anti-Trump bias with a knife...


I agree with Solutions2. Help Trump. anything to not have Hillery in The White House


They will do both.


So the left-wing journalist says, "the inoffensive motion by Liberal MP Iqra Khalid".

I guess Ms. Bozo cannot remember that s. 13 from the CRHA was finally repealed when it affected freedom of the Press - Western Standard and McLeans. Now she wants to go down that road again does she? It also restricted freedom of speech and brought punative action against individuals without due process by skipping the criminal courts and sticking into the Administrative Law area where is was pretty well an absolute liability offense.

It was statements like hers, by the LPC, that brought the affront to freedom of speech in,  in the first place.


... you don't actually think he has ever read the US Constitution?  Daddy paid for poorer kids to take his civics tests.


rage against the machine........."hands up don't shoot" never happened. A stupid protest based on a lie and backed by no facts. Yeah I would stake my livelihood on that one. It just shows that they aren't that smart.


Melissa Mar-Viverito is wrong by saying ”We are going to become this administration’s worst nightmare.”  She and her anti-law associates already are the country’s worst nightmare.


The article missed one important point: Kathy depends on the ignorance of the Ontario electorate. The less she has to disclose, the better her odds of getting away with it. No question, the more corrupt the politician, the less they divulge to the people they are (supposedly) responsible to.

And don't forget: the Liberals are still in power because they were RE-ELECTED. Yes, the public servants and the unthinking Toronto voters may be happy, but their narrow views are killing the province.


Oh let me guess, black people right?


From wiki: ITEP, as well as the associated Citizens for Tax Justice, has been characterized as liberal.

There's a real shock.


"The Roman Catholic leadership does not support the GOP. I would say that the RC leadership is very critical of the GOP on several issues."

Charles, please Dolan gave the prayer invocation at the GOP convention.  Many, many parishes pressed parishioners to vote for the GOP.


"They point out that the Holy Father's document is being interpreted by some in ways that contradict his predecessors and the Church's teaching."

That is like Trump's "Some people are saying...."  There are some people who will always misinterpret.  Blaming Francis for that is the design of this sinister cabal.


For some that may be the case. When someone's actions deserve scrutiny, and they pass this test, and the opposition can not except the facts; then yes it's partisan and psychotic! Having varying standards of accountability for each party is a whole other can of worms


One of the more interesting problems in my experience in the Church is the utter lack of acknowledgment of women who have miscarried, except for some gossip and nosiness from some people, and a desire to see it investigated from folks like R&R. Not even so much as a prayer in the Prayers of the Faithful except about once in all the parishes I've been a part of. And that after a request.


Sure, new housing could be built in the primary core but it would not be TOD housing, which by definition provides less space for cars and revolves around the use of a fixed transit system (that is why buses don't spur TOD, they aren't fixed they are highly flexible). The goal is to not build more sprawl, but rather high density, low price housing. Currently, everyone without kids pays for the schools that serve other peoples kids. And some people in certain areas, like ewa, already pay more via impact fees. SO this really is nothing new.
Pleas provide the list of schools in the primary urban corridor that have been considered for closure. I am only aware of rural schools.


Thanks Dan for this very funny essay, as you have spoken for a lot of high school coaches that have ever attempted an overnight:)


No time to throw rocks...  My business dealings are taking up too much of my time.  Off and runnin in 14 days or so for a couple weeks,  then full pin for 3 months,  off to the Orient for 10 days in mid May so far, business dealing,  hey,  up top on an A380 for the run Singapore to Perth AU...That's going to be special.  I'm not getting any younger.   But its fun..  As long as its fun,  its gettin done....
Maybe get together late July, be down your way then.  Gotta go visit the big house before they tear it down.  A bucket list thing of mine,  wanna see where Paullie spent the past 25 or so..... .   Stay warm,  be safe..


Yeah, I hear you George. However, next year will be the second big ratchet down on retiree post-retirement benefits such as COLA, or a lost of about two thirds of what they expected after retirement. I suspect there will be a third ratchet applied in 3-5 years that will eliminate the remainder, especially after the next economic downturn. A few retirees will whine a bit, but that's about all. The Colorado Supreme Court ruled in 2015 that post-retirement benefits are, for all practical purposes, gratuities.  Of course, a retiree's base benefit in nominal dollars has constitutional protection, so a claw back will be more difficult on their base benefit, but is possible.
PERA members should become aware of their vulnerable position, and that their pension is in essence subject to legislative spending priorities, public sentiment, and the Governor's executive power (veto) ... so even if the legislature were to vote unanimously on a solution, the governor could veto.


Extremely poor decision to throw the ball out of bounds on the last possession to save the Chargers a timeout. Bad, bad play calling.


I see all of this as a culmination of every time the left has called the right racists and all the phobes - for years. They've said it so many times, people on the left believe it. It is very insulting to republicans, and they are very quick to denounce the group(s) for the very reason you see happening here. Trump is not a racist, but they are pushing this narrative as if he were the leader of the Ku Klux Klan. It is very divisive and inflammatory, and does not get to the root of our problems.

The media is painting the alt-left as social justice warriors who have moral superiority and are fighting against racism. Today they are looking at the Charlottesville event in isolation. If you look at the whole picture, and look at everything they've done since the inauguration -- the violent protests, smashing storefront windows, burning limousines -- you can see they are not as nice and innocent as the left treats them. Not once has this behavior been condemned.


Grow a set and use your real name . What are you afraid of ?


This is a civil comment? What? Are there special rules for opioid users or something?


Whoah now. "I don't wish harm to anyone one"... then "I do hope it happens. Casket and all." Kinda contradictory right? It's like saying "I don't want anyone to get hurt but would wish harm on your family in order to prove my point."

If you're looking for numbers.... plenty of innocent Americans are killed daily, by strange paranoid men like yourself.


For a laugh, try Infowars.  It makes Breitbart look the the venerable Times of London.


Haha, definitely white trash.


You're accusing the Holy Father of meeting with the Greens for monetary and political purposes???


I've made $64,000 so far this year working online and I'm a full time student. Im using an online business opportunity I heard about and I've made such great money. It's really user friendly and I'm just so happy that I found out about it. Heres what I do,

The perils of being overbooked.


What a weak, lazy PM, all show and no substance. Pretty boy empty headed governing by the tax and take your money Lieberals.


President Trump is already pushing back on this alleged agreement in a late night Twitter post, but if ultimately realized its a very good deal for the DACA "dreamers" and the Democrats but not so much for Mr. Trump. Reversing a promise made by President Obama in 2014 to the children brought here by undocumented immigrants, was, in reality, both short-sighted and cold-hearted on Mr. Trump's part. These young people want only an opportunity to succeed and contribute to the one society they, for the most part, have only known. For the president, getting a commitment for additional border security, although no wall, allows him to still claim a small victory. If implemented, it could be a "dream" solution for what had become a nightmare policy U-turn.


Sure but in the meantime don't we have a migrant crisis to deal with?


Canadians don't want a social conservative.  That is what he is and any policies he releases will try to conceal that essential element of who he is.


The public cannot possibly help find this guy if the cops hold on to the information for two weeks before releasing it.  Also that has got to be the worst image of the year.  Time to trash that useless surveillance system and to spend $200 at Costco to move your surveillance into the 21st century...


Has someone added a person to the Godhead, maybe Ashura, the ancient wife of Yaweh? That would be heresy (unless the whole Church through council agrees to it. Correcting how we use natural law reason is not heresy (by taking away the supposed superior competence of the Pope, reason be damned). The consequence, of course, would be reinterpretation of certain moral questions. I can't wait either, but I think we need the asexuals in the clergy to out themselves (like Burke) and apologize for imposing their natural instincts on the rest of us, who don't share their peculiar natures.


I think it is great that these young people come up and do service


Yikes. You cannot compare capitalism to the dividend. It was capitalism but now that we need a tax it becomes socialism.


None of these instances would provide the quantities currently being created by the current manufacturers.  Black markets and small producers can be controlled much more easily than the current unrestricted systems within this nation.  All of it being driven by profiteers willing to slaughter humans at any cost.


Yes like the speaking engagement fees dirty bill got after the sale of uranium to the  Russians. Funny how the Clinton foundation taps have dried up with no play to access.
Truly entering the mind of the left is an exercise in madness, thank God for TRUMP.


I would not let one on the list back in.


Nobody has a right to tell you what you can think, say, wear, view on the internet, talk about. These are fundamental human rights.
-
Canadians have an ethnocentric misunderstanding of the significance of the burka or hijab.
Most of the world does not believe there is anything wrong with being "barefoot and pregnant."  The mother is sacred. The burka is about preserving femininity. It is a type of feminism to preserve the women.
-
Should women parade themselves around as sex symbols? Many would say no, not your mother.  Canadian women are paranoid of the patriarchy and male oppression, it is sociopathic. 100's of Millions of women are happy wearing their burkas and hijabs. It is extremely arrogant, prejudiced and above all misogynistic to act as the moral naggers to the planet.


Talk about bringing a knife to a gun fight. Luckily that Moose didn't charge and stomp that person.


Yes, get some restaurants and bars with a view of the waterfront, finally.


They've chosen to issue bonds in the first session a week back and I have a good feeling they will go with bonds all the way to fund the entire $15-billion dollar expenditure. Municipal bonds are the most prudent and timely funding source despite issuing them violates the Federal rail funding contract and therefore Honolulu can kiss any future contributions from the Feds goodbye. Despite the loss of federal funding, it's a prudent decision in my opinion! If (D)etroit can do it there's no reason why we can't!


Good ole Carpa!  Another "When you don't like the message, shoot the messenger" comment.

It is time for Alaska to behave as a state and not as a ward of the federal government.  The state's entitlement mentality must change.  Alaska needs to stand on its own two feet and no longer require or expect others to foot the bill for unsustainable lifestyles.


Why would we want to sell the country? Let's keep it.


I voted for Nenshi in the first two elections and I didn't in the last one. Did I become a racist over the past few years?

I don't think so - I just got tired of a mayor who wants everyone to know he is the smartest guy in the room in every meeting and yet has no answers to Calgary's issues (except raising taxes).

A little humility would go along way, but unfortunately you'll never get it from Mayor Nenshi.


I thought of the Cabinet shuffle until I read your comment..  You're probably right.  I didn't read the article well enough to recognize the "temporarily".


Wow, that's a blast from the past.
Right up there with no restaurant alcohol on Sunday.
In the immortal words of Rodney Dangerfield, "I resemble that remark."


That's old news Mr Nicolos, and Mr Clinton isn't on the ticket. If Trump goes there, he's finished.


I WILL never GO GIRL again!!! ever!!!


Hey Skier.......  my sentiments exactly.  I never go to Walmart anymore...  for many reasons (wage disparity etc.,) but partly because as one walks thru it, one sees the unnecessary plastic garbage people randomly throw into their carts..   Same with dollar stores;  these junk shops just wreak of plastic shite.    Who dreams up all this rubbish that is shipped over in massive containers, I often wonder..
     We need to have a heavy push by provincial governments to seriously consider changing our
science programming to include land fill issues, pollution and sustainability..  Right at the elementary level so that we bring on a new generation of fresh thinkers and advocates for environmental sustainability.


I enjoyed the Philippine fast food chain "Jolibee" chicken when I visited San Francisco-now they are coming to Ontario (which has a large Philippine community)--I bet they can give KFC/Popeye's a run for their money


Yes, Wiki Leaks just released emails, memos etc apparently showing that the following
so called Republican received monies from the Clintons to ensure that Hillary won
and in the event Trump was elected, they were to work to undermine Trump.
The Republicans named are Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, John McCain, John Katich, Paul Ryan,
and Lindsey Graham.  Golly, Surprise, Surprise.


When you move into oil country you better expect drilling rigs everywhere.


On a almost daily basis we read of example after example of Republican legislators demonstrating incompetence, stupidity, or contempt for the public.

Just a few recent examples:

1.  The repeated illegal attempts to pay $32.5 million for the TajMahawer, to a Republican party insider.

2.  The Kevin Meyer fisaco where lobbyists bought him a fancy dinner- ahead of his vote to buy the TajMahawker.

3.  The Senate official who drove drunk, and left the scene of an accident.

4.  Lesil McGuire blowing $40,000 on travel last year.

5.  All the legislators who are collecting per diem way, way beyond their actual expenses.

6. The $4 billion dollar deficit these bafoons created.

7.  The $1 billion in corporate welfare for Big Oil they refuse to end.

8.  The refusal of the legislature to pass a budget in either their 90 day, or 120 day session.

Good grief.  We must replace as many of these clowns as we possibly can this year- before they destroy our state.


Lol LOl LOl Lol Lol Lol Lol ...ROTFLMAO


only a Canadian would be prepared to accept less and be ready to redefine the Canadian dream as a micro apartment in the sky


I would agree that this is a good idea if the CBC were held accountable for being politically neutral and if they would stop producing such inane nonsense as "little house on the prairie" and etc.  They would have to stick to the things they do best, documentaries, news programs, and investigation journalism.


agreed Richard....you notice how only just over 6 years ago, foreign tourists were flocking to Syria, the nation now led by " a madman" but who wasn't quite mad enough back then I suppose to deter sunbathers, over 9 million of them as a matter of fact, to see UNESCO world heritage sites and enjoy resorts on the Mediterranean ...a nation, quite modern and comparatively secular that yes, had ties to Russia, but more importantly, to Shia Iran...

so the madman, the dictator, somewhat unlike the democrats who run Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the Emirates, and Kuwait had to go....

so back when the country was safe enough for women to travel through to see the sites, we figured it could be better if the dictator had a little less Persian-love in his heart...now, with the nation in ruins, we seem to believe that if he'd only had the good sense to see it our way 6 years ago, all of this brutality could have been avoided, madmen, what are ya gonna do


shores intelligence level is always equal to the liberal party talking points he is handed every day!


My problem with HB250 is that it fails to capture the full 6% from the incomes that have deductions and pay nothing to the IRS.


The Catholic Church is just another 'basket of deplorables'.

Amazing how liberals complain about 'stereotypes' and 'profiling' and 'painting with a broad brush' until one of their candidates gets criticized.

Then, of course, demonization is clearly authorized and encouraged.


Women choosing to wear face coverings are not breaking any laws of Canada.  The government of Quebec is trying to create a law that would force women to stop wearing face coverings in certain circumstances.


We must have someone who is a better leader than Ige. I will give him credit for privatizing the Maui hospitals, but that is it. He reinforces the principle that legislators with no real excecutive leadership experience in either government or the private sector make poor leaders and in particular poor Governors. Abercrombie was a good example of that. There are exceptions, but Ige is not one of them.


Hah! Hah! So do I, as a good Brit. Well said, girl! (No misogyny intended.)


What is Peggy talking about?  I know a bunch of young people who have started their own businesses and are doing very well.  She must be living in a bubble.


But the real story here is the insider trading in Unilever call options in the days prior to the news release.   It's not what you know that counts, it's who you know.


I have lived in three different diocese in my 60+ years and never have I heard of lay people being consulted before a bishop is appointed. It may well be the case that a select committee is engaged to the exclusion of us 'little people'. If Pope Francis can make this change in a way that all who wish to comment or give input are permitted to do so that would promote the credibility of the church.


any rebuild has to start with firing Gibbons-he is absolutely (and always has been) totally useless-this clubhouse is like a ship without a sail--no direction and absolutely NO discipline under him-if the Blue Jays hope to rebuild from what's left of the farm system Anthropoulos so destructively depleted they will need someone other than Gibbons to guide the younger players


Not exactly.
Sally Yates and James Comey have been fired.
Flynn ... Manafort ...
In cases of spontaneous combustion the flames start when it's exposed to the oxygen of the light of day.


Watch, what really is happening is more $$$ for militarizing the police.  Prohibition doesn't work, interdiction doesn't work but you watch, a bunch of money will go to police departments around the state to buy more hardware.  Someone else will call for more privately owned halfway houses.  Actual money going to educate and employ credentialed addiction professionals.......crickets.....


Finally something we can all agree on.

Also, Alaska legislators have a huge office slush fund that they can spend on whatever they want.
Just lilke per diem, they don't have to account for it.

$20,000 per Senator
16,000 per House member

This is for 90 days of "postage and stationery" when they mostly have internet newsletters.

Do Senators really need $300 per business day for office supplies?

This is much higher expense than any other state, and they have fewer constiuents

The amount spent on staffers also greatly exceeds other states.

Time to cut these extras as well.


Do you really think that relative small donations totaling $1,350 is enough to buy off someone or create a conflict of interest?  I hope you scream and yell so much about the conflicts of interest when the NDP/Green party do something to support a union, which has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars.


Jim this is an article about the State of Alaska budget and a state income tax.  Your property tax contributes and funds the MOA.  Owning two properties in Anchorage I'm familiar with the taxes levied.  Alaska is the only state of the 50 that doesn't pay either an income tax or sales tax.  My statement is correct, you contribute 0 to the State of AK aside from a gas and alchohol tax.


Payback serves a useful purpose. If only the Republican Party plays mean, then after awhile they think it is their right. For eight years Congressional Republicans did what they could to negate President Obama's administration, and even to try to negate his legitimacy as an American.
So yes, Senator, you have my best wishes for your attack on what I am sure will be a mean spirited choice for the Supreme Court.
I find myself not only negating Trump's legitimacy, but see him as a tool of special interests, and not my president. I see Putin when I see Trump, I see Netanyahu when I see Trump, I hear Nixon when I hear Trump.

good time for BP & Ice to put the hammer down on the non human criminal illegals that live in the shadows and pick this plant.
Ever go out where they pick, I do all the time. Garbage everywhere in woods. They throw shit everywhere including the highway.

pack up illegal criminal non humans, bus is ready.


Thank you CB for continuing to inform the public on this issue.

There is another group of citizens that are not being represented on the Commission. They probably have the most to say about policing habits. Where are the VICTIMS advocates??? Victims have NO VOICE on the Commission.

Victims of crime and botched investigations are left out of the loop and have no say in decisions regarding victims rights and HPD's responsibility and duty to protect the public. Why is that!??


Why do we need anyone who is holy through some idea of "apostolic succession" if we don't recognize the agency that has been legitimizing this succession for 2000 years?

The idea of spiritual authority that is divorced from scripture and tradition is a strange and contradictory idea indeed.


'In Canada, the study of contemporary world history has not been mandatory on most high school curricula, a lacuna that has lessened our aptitude for awareness.'

Having grown up in Europe, this never ceases to boggle my mind, how important subjects like history, geography etc are elective subjects in high schools here.  No wonder everyone is 'unaware', read ignorant.  In Canada of all places, where everyone comes from somewhere else, it should be absolutely mandatory and would engender further understanding of each other's origins.


I know a city park director who has to go through layers of bureaucracy to buy a pencil sharpener. The amount of paperwork is ridiculous, and heaven forbid she should misspell anything. Doesn't seem very consistent to me.


The Rogers clan can sell their four properties up on Lake Rosseau for approx 25 mllion and give Tulo a raise....then he might raise his batting average up to 250

Serioulsy folks how daft are the Jays fans.  Leading in attendance with their pathetic team.  Do they really have nothing better than to root for overpaid immigrant athletes, some that cannot even speak English....ghees.  Common fans, learn a sport, take up water activities ride a bike as I do. completing 95 kilomters up in the Forks of the Credit.  Much better that sitting on plastic seats in a concrete tomb.
Remember the Participaction AD.......need I say more.

Get out and off your butt and quit idiolizig these guys who dont give a rats a.....s  about Toronto or you.

I know the truth hurts, but they ONLY care about their paycheck.

BTW not charge for this free bit on advice.


You forgot the free legal services the government of Canada provides. Those would seem to be the same services seen by some as driving so much of the reconciliation agenda- the fees are just too rich to let simple things like common sense and constructive compromise get in the way.


I am for that. Seeing as I pay close to 25% Federal Income Tax on the PFD it seems ridicules to pay tax on this then turn around and pay income tax to the state.


Cnn,msn,Reuters  and bbc all have world news stick too ak topics not false flag terror drills trying to get the publics reaction for prelim martial law tests! Nobody got hurt this was for show for punk UN conference!

Good god, who actually still thinks this. Give me a break, this is just utterly stupid.


Wow -- a Trumpster calling out another commenter for being "politically incorrect" ?!?

Doesn't that really mean, " I WIIIIIINNNNNNNN " !


Looks like another typical result from an election under a party proportional voting system. (MMP) The third place finisher, with only 7% of the popular vote, will determine who governs New Zealand. And the two main parties are already trying to curry favour with the 7% kingmaker.


We are getting there, just be "patient".


Well I don't know about that all I know is if you get up off yer but you can get rich. I did it and my brother in law did it as well


It would take a 20 second tv commercial to explain the situation, or a few tweets or a newspaper ad - and every BC voter would understand the necessity forced on teh Greens/NDP.
They might not all like it, but it certainly wouldn't put democracy under strain - which will happen if the Lt-Governor doesn't call on the coalition to govern.
Bud, why do you think BC voters are stupid? Are you actually a BC voter? I am, and I think I and my neighbours  can figure this out.


I am looking forward to seeing how this thing operates up here.  By the way, prl didn't move vast amounts of anything.  prl does paperwork.  lynden , ravn, and trucks moved the cargo.


Heat wave, aw gee it's gonna be a cooker

Gutless gore and parasitical Gov.'s now want

Trump Gov. in Canada.


If Ganot is a good coach, as Matlin claims, then as the fans deserve, he should play the name teams and ranked teams. Winning against a bunch of lower division and bottom dwellers proves nothing, you ain't going to get a top 25 ranking that way.  And why is it that of all of UH's major sports, only Ganot has such an embarrassingly easy schedule. The NCAA just said that for its tournament, more emphasis will be on quality away game wins and Ganot schedules only one. So kiss the potential upsets of ranked teams goodbye, kiss an at-large bid goodbye, and kiss the free publicity for good recruits by winning national TV goodbye too.


Yeah, and these are the same types of people that have been harassing women's healthcare clinics for decades.


re "Many do not report violent crime out here as nothing is done."
That statement is patently untrue.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
What evidence outside of your mind do you have to support that claim?
Problem is once you say something is fact that flies in the face of fact you lose credibility.
Your opinions have been racist, low & now just outright bizarre.


The media would love us to forget that populism is a strategy not a political ideology.


You mean "the real prime minister Butts"


Isn't Jimmy Kimmel a comedian.
In whose world is a comedian "essential viewing"?


You're probably right. Paid admin leave all summer long....


After our then Justice Minister, Vic Toews, impregnated his baby sitter, Harper (via Peter MacKay) appointed him to be a Judge in Manitoba. Too bad he's not around to save his Senatorial appointment, Don Meredith. One thing about Harper's ruinous judgment:  it was always consistent.


"No peaceful-minded individual has ever read the literature of an extremist group and then, through a process of rational thought and calculation, decided it is a wise choice to become someone who would slaughter a crowd of strangers."
That about nails it.


Lol


Obviously the pulpit is not the place for personal criticisms. But please, not yet another article on how this Pope is great. He is not doing anything new. Yeah, help the poor people. That's nothing new. He is holding firm to his bizarre theory that women are all alike and have a supposed "feminine genius," and therefore women should be limited in their life choices. He wants us to think in terms of women lacking a "male genius," and that women should be barred from the best positions in Church administration and not allowed to serve at the altar. I don't think all women are alike, and I don't think I am afflicted with a "feminine genius," rather, I think we are all individuals, some more savvy than others. Plenty of people out there are just plain gullible and ready to believe whatever someone in a white dress says and call him a saint. Assenting to and spreading this idea that women must limit themselves and keep in their place is harmful to all women and their quality of life.


...and sees many more important issues disappear during the election campaign. Referendum on its own would be alright - despite the cost for Elections Canada and political parties. The likely proposed changes to our system of government would be so ultimate and complete that the people must first be heard..

Seeing how this is becoming a trend - to sit during the national anthem - I wonder how grade school children will process this message ... "We stand for the national anthem in respect for our country, unless you grow up to be a professional athlete, in which case you don't have to."

I don't have a problem with public-private partnerships.  However I would prefer that it was a US company they were partnering with.

The ANC have been benefiting from the state capture project since Mac Maharaj (was it him?) introduced the Guptas to Mbeki. As Treasurer, there is no doubt Mkhize knows and has abetted corruption. Say no more.

Well I sure hope sound-proofing is in the Coupeville School District's budget...


Can Ron Wyden call himself a lawyer?  Or attorney?  Ever?   Does the Oregon Bar allow that?


I know! Let's replace all of the Native American mascots with caricatures of white pioneer women, or with caricatures of Daniel Boone, George Custer, Betsy Ross, Calamity Jane! Change the name from Braves to Crocketts with an image of Davy, depicting his opposition to the Indian Removal Act.


No, they are not as American as you or I. At the Trump protest downtown a few months ago, we sat at my office window and watched them wave Mexican flags and hold signs that said "make America Mexico again." They make tax-free money and mail it home to Mexico, a total loss for our economy. Stop virtue signaling as if you know who and what you're talking about.


This is so stupid. He is putting a target on all American's backs. We need to get out of the Mid-East immediately!


Pedestrians I know you have the right of way when crossing the street, but you have to understand the laws of physics.  If you get hit by a vehicle you WILL lose.  Physics does not care who is right.

You also have to understand there are many reasons a driver may not see you crossing the street.  It's a lot easier to see a vehicle than it is to see a person.

Be safe out there and let's stop focusing on who's right and wrong so we can minimize injuries and deaths.


Balanced budgets? Your rose colored glasses are lying to you.

"Been to LA lately? It looks like Mexico City."

As you probably know that part of the country used to belong to Mexico.  There are people of Mexican, Spanish and/or indigenous (mostly a mix of all three) heritage that have lived in Los Angeles for probably longer than your ancestors have been in the US.  If you are so concerned about those who are there illegally then a simple solution is to make many legal and stop the rest from illegally working by going after employers.

"Nazi card" <-- See what Hotubjoe said below.  (Thank you Joe).  To add to this, the tactic they are using is a waste of money.  Who harasses a 10 year old girl on public taxpayer money?  Ridiculous and if you cannot see that you have some serious thinking to do.


At this point in this entire zoo all I can do is remember, and paraphrase the "great" Mitch McConnell.
.
"We are focusing on the email server of Candidate Clinton, because it is an issue. If she did not want it to become an issue, she simply should not have had a personal server handle classified communication"...point taken....
.

to which I say.
.
"If Trump did not want "Russia" to be an issue, his campaign, and people he has surrounded himself with, should simply not had so many secret meetings with Russians, which many of them then denied"
.
They did not have meetings with other adversarial countries like China or Iran, or even allies, like Italy or Denmark. There was  even a paucity of meetings with countries with Trump hotels....so why all the meetings with Russia?
.
No Trump ally has even said "hey I had meetings with people from Poland, and Vietnam, as well"..its' all Russia.
.
Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck....


Yeah Jane, I'm in total agreement with shisaisama here.  Please stop blaggarding discrimination like it's a bad thing.  You've been totally brainwashed by secularists like Martin Luther King Jr and Pope Francis and their unnatural pro-decency, anti-discrimation bias.
Discrimation hasn't always been a bad thing!  Check out this amazing God-centered, pro-discrimation quote:

"In short, the results of miscegenation are always the following: (a) The level of the superior race becomes lowered; (b) physical and mental degeneration sets in, thus leading slowly but steadily towards a progressive drying up of the vital sap. The act which brings about such a development is a sin against the will of the Eternal Creator. And as a sin this act will be avenged."

It comes from one of our greatest pro-discrimination, anti-secularist leaders!

Yup.  I'm not a fan of Julien as a coach; Therrien had to go, but I don't like Julien's style.  Of course, to a Habs fan, anything to do with the Hated Bruins simply stinks to high heaven!


Where is the record of all these tens of thousands of years of indigenous history? It doesn't exist because nobody had any way to record it. The indigenous peoples weren't advanced enough to have writing. The blissful image of learned natives communing with nature in peace and harmony is an invention. Natives were as warlike as any other people of that era, and constantly killing each other off. Their average lifespans were about thirty years, and they worshiped all kinds of primitive gods because they had no science and thought the gods controlled everything.


How are you still writing biased anti Trump BS articles ? Are children and SJW reading the Globe & Mail ? You should be ashamed of
yourself. The article reads like a 13 year old SJW wrote it. Seriously ? NK have been launching missiles and provoking China etc. No one else is going to stop that crazy chubby weirdo child. You should all be very thankful there's an actual man in the while house again.


I am sick and tired of this nonsense. Since this f.cking idiot is leading the country he is trying to influance our thoughts.


Please give an example. And I have visited many Alberta sites so I would not bother claiming these. The level of environmental stewardship has been very low and there are thousands of sites across Alberta neede remediation.


The irony here is that now the state gets to pay billable hours to a private attorney to make a decision on the ethics complaint.  Both complainants are actively shooting themselves in the foot with their frivolity.  Way to go guys, you are now officially part of the problem.


Yes, a thousand times yes!
Our families fought for what the flag and the Pledge stand for. Not the flag itself.
And what the flag and Pledge stand for is the right to sit during the Pledge as a form of dissent.


Qbcoach15, you might want to do a bit more research into how masterful Clinton was in gaming the system to avoid the draft. He was not simply busy being a Rhodes Scholar in England.  His successful efforts earned him the nickname "Slick Willie."

Sens win, Habs win, Canuks win, Laughs lose.   The beat goes on.


Osweiler.   2015.  Started 7 games.   5 wins, 2 losses.  The reason the Broncos got into the playoffs in 2015. Super Bowl win. And Manning gets the accolades for it.   The thing is, if the record in those 7 games was 2-5, there'd have been no accolades for Manning to receive.


Great article.... many see the government as this super being that will provide in the age of entitlement rather than a business going out of business.
The real issue is we have an economic problem and it’s time to stop thinking of Canada as a Do-Gooding, deep pocket, holy than thou, nice place to live, that looks after any stray dogs, …. and start to realize we are a business unit with tuff choices ahead.


The Trumpster isn't fooling anyone, especially anyone at Langley, but the folks there deserve special recognition for not bursting out in laughter every time the Trumpster opened his mouth.

During the Trumpster's visit with the CIA he commented, "This is my first stop officially, there is nobody that feels stronger about the intelligence community and the CIA than Donald Trump, there is nobody".

Everyone knows there's something wrong with people who talk about themselves in the third person. Seriously, everyone at Langley who had to listen the Trumpster deserves a medal for having the self control not to laugh the Trumpster off the premises.

The London bookies have a better track record.  Latest odds I could find was May 2016.

  "Hillary Clinton is the favorite to win in November at odds of 4-11, according to the online bookmaker Ladbrokes — meaning you’d have to wager $11 to win $4.

The New York City tycoon, meanwhile, is a 9-4 underdog, according to the bookmaker’s website."

"So whom do the oddsmakers like for vice president?

Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who was the last man standing against Trump before he quit Wednesday, comes in at 4-1. Right behind him is New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at 6-1, according to Ladbrokes."

Wanta put any money down?  On Trump VP or Final Result?  Big chance to make big money!


Or just not bring them so our own citizens can have what they need and after they have all they need - then see what we can afford and only help that many - that would just be simple common sense wouldn't it ?


An accident due to stupidity. He was driving like an idiot and caused a death.


The most common sin of both the right and the left is a refusal to recognize the successes of the other. Hence Mr. Keller can't find a single positive thing to say about Castro and Cuba. Not, of course, because there aren't positive things to say. Rather, he refuses to see them either in comparison to other Latin American states, or in historical perspective. Here's a bit of the latter.

Despite the fact that the USA lost the Vietnam War to the North Vietnamese, that communist country now exports more goods to the USA than to any other country. Had the USA not had its bizarre and childish hate on for Cuba, I'm sure that nation would have prospered as well.


Not to mention Bill and Monica in the Oral office.

When my first grandchild died, a Jewish couple sat shiva with my wife and me. They wept with us, to show their concern. This was not emotionalism, this was being fellow mourners. And being true friends.


And physicians still tend to practice in the manner they prefer (patterns/volumes of diagnostic testing, variations in treatments). We already know this. But more data collection has done little, if anything, to significantly change these practice preferences.

Time and time again, context and culture have been identified as the critical determinants. And much of this was discovered long before the advent of high technology and sophisticated analytics.

I do suggest you look over some of the research from The Dartmouth Institute I cited above. Years of data - same old story. US findings, but one can easily assume Canada is not much different (except for lower volumes due to more restrained capacity).

There are already systems and administration in health care. If additional administration and data does not improve care or reduce costs, then it represents a dis-economy. It becomes a show piece suggesting greater efficiency or higher quality without the actual outcome.


Name-calling instead of providing facts. Classic. By the way, do you have insurance ? How about you proving your heritage ? Because, it would be a good thing if you are a white male, with blue eyes, blonde hair and lots of money in your bank account. Otherwise, it is 'screw you' time...


The only way it is homophobic is if the gay population took it to mean that Donald Trump is actually gay & they found it insulting that Colbert would lump him in with them for a laugh. But as a joke for those Americans who do not understand, it implies that Trump is Putin's b***h. And that remains to be seen. Money buys a lot of things.


McCain needs to focus on his health. He is out of touch with Americans. His wife'a $$$ is not his and he thinks he earned it. He has always lived about his means on her skirt tails. Hope she doesn't have an accident or he will cast her aside like his first wife. He does not speak for the USA. He speaks for all the corporations that are paying him off.


May I suggest you study up on Sex Offender statistics instead of listening to everything you hear in the media? Like the fact that of all types of crimes, sex offenders are least likely to reoffend. Look at this Vukovich guy, he has been in and out of prison  on a wide verity of crimes that cost tax payers hundreds of thousands of dollars and also hurt victims.


I see life as a woman who, like every other woman on the planet, lives in a sexist world. So what? It seems to me you feel free to be dismissive of sexism.

This is all distraction  so  people will not talk about Hillary's Saudi Arabian  financial support,  and their overt influence on the election. That was real . Russian influence is spurious at best.


The schools should have been located on the reserves, so the students would go home to their parents each night.  It was feasible even at that time, as was shown by the one-room schoolhouses that dotted the rural prairies.  Doing so would have prevented nearly all the sexual abuse by the predators who were attracted to the schools.

However, today's social justice warriors would still level accusations of "cultural genocide" because the students would have been taught English, math etc.


During the trial, the details of what the video showed were described in detail for everyone in the courtroom. Neither the prosecution nor the defense stated that any blows to Mr. Bumpus by Officer Sharlow were given either in the field or in the booking room of the jail. Another officer in the field admitted to administering several blows to Bumpus in order to get him to stop biting Officer Sharlow. That same officer also stated that he kicked Bumpus in the abdomen as he charged towards him. That contact was done by Officer Lindsey. Officer Sharlow did deploy his taser which incapacitated Mr. Bumpus who was then handcuffed and put into the patrol car by other officers at the scene and NOT by Sharlow. Officer Sharlow drove his patrol car to the jail. Yes, Officer Sharlow did take Mr. Bumpus to the ground, but he was never beaten by Officer Sharlow, or anyone else. It is unfortunate that the Register Guard is unwilling, or unable to provide their readers with accurate reporting.


It's odd  --  so does he.


Theresa May deserves to be unpopular not only for her rigid personality but also for her opportunism for calling an unnecessary election she mistakenly thought she would win in a landslide.

Jeremy Corbyn deserves much credit for his comeback and especially his ability to attract young voters. His was a moral victory if not entirely an electoral one.

I don't think Corbyn can form a government--he would need the support of the Liberal Democrats, Scottish and Welsh Nationalist Parties, and "others," including the Greens and Sinn Fein. He would also need the DUP to waver in its support for May.


A nice lesson for this millenial: yes, actions do have consequences


Harvey Schacter is slipping a bit.  Over 5 hours after this latest piece hit the on-line, and I'm posting the first comment.  Maybe the ONLY comment. Some unsolicited advice:

Harvey!  Listen up!  You may not get another chance at G&M! You have to think about instant hooks in the headline. Anything that features the word "think" won't qualify. (In fact, that goes for the subject matter, too.)

Last headline was a real winner: "The six types of mean men you meet at work."  Hot-button material for sure.  To prove it: over 80 posts within a day (even acknowledging the usually multiple posts from "Victimitis.")

Write something that posters can poke fun at--or each other.  Lots of reactions to "Mean" were "funny." Not too many laughs here.

But do try again.  Remember, gender sells.

Looking at the graphic, it doesn't seem (to me) like a very comfortable ride.

A fully-loaded 737-900 has an absolute maximum acceleration of about 0.27g (it's actually less - I'm ignoring drag and rolling resistance of tires on runway). Applying (for "human comfort") that performance to the Denver - Ft. Collins route and presuming it actually reached a cruising speed of 700mph, you'd spend 2 minutes accelerating to 700mph at 0.27g, 5 minutes at 700mph, then 2 minutes decelerating to a stop at 0.27g.

I foresee a spike in barf bag manufacturing futures.

Sometimes a North Dakota Mandan and perpetual outsider sees things quite clearly.  It is not just incompetence and lassitude in Hawaii which hold this place back.  One has to follow the money to see who benefits from the incompetence.  There are very good reasons why we are held back by poor decisions and inside dealmaking.  Follow the money and be alert....


He won't have the massive power of a corrupted democrat party to facilitate his abuses.That will be a plus.
Saw an article recently that made the case for Trump that he would be the easiest to impeach, if necessary. Ben saying that all along. At least with him there would be some return to the "separation of powers" concept.
Of the two VPs that would potentially replace these candidates, Mike Pence is far superior.


If Johnson did so while he was working, then he did it on the taxpayer's dime.
