How he won: A split opposition, and name recognition within a desire for change.

"he won in 2013 with just 32-per-cent support, beating then-unknown political neophyte Mélanie Joly, who had 26 per cent ...Combined, 68 per cent of the vote went to three Coderre opponents."

"Mr. Coderre won in 2013 after leaving federal Liberal politics, promising to restore civic pride, repair infrastructure and provide a corruption-free administration after a mayor resigned in disgrace and the interim replacement was imprisoned."


Regarding: "President Donald Trump's first foreign trip looks more like a pilgrimage than anything else — Rome, Jerusalem and Saudi Arabia. Let's hope someone explains to him that he cannot go to Mecca."
- Let us hope that someone tells Trump that ArchbFrancis of Rome will not tell him about the gospel of prosperity.
- Let us hope that someone tells Trump that while in Jerusalem he may not erect a statue to himself.


Nice attempt to deflect.


I do not like "civil comments".  This is very annoying.  I will not likely post anything here again.


Heaven help us! The city needs to wrap it's brain around the needs of the community, not just chasing faux economic gains...sheesh!


CAE, You can't even say "Yes!" without being declared uncivil? Now, really, folks, someone(s) are playing too many games with this blog.


Bill

You arecertainly free to present your “fluoride is a drug”  argument in court.

Given that no court of last resort has ever upheld that  nonsensical  claim in regard to optimal level fluoride in water......In don’t much like your chances with that.

Yes, there is always that danger.  The committed left, of which feminism is a part, has always gone through struggles with ideological purity and schisms.  I think it's part of having been on the outside for so long.  I may be a glass-half full person, but I see it as being more open now.  That some can blast Marie Henein and Margaret Atwood without shaking their feminist credentials is a good thing.


Well - you could always move to Thunder Bay, nobody's forcing you to live in Toronto!

RangerMC, Thanks for the info, but nobody is saying that the US should be like Sweden.


Admits to 'brushing her ribs" in the opening statement...riiiiiiiight. Guilty as charged!


Sneaky !


That is what Milo calls his own tour; this was not made up by anyone at Breitbart.  At Berkeley there was a violent riot by college students protesting Milo's tour.


Are there any adults in this family?


Unlike "our" presnitwit, I don't insult dim people to their faces.


OK Anita, the title of this article is ...
"When Not Speaking Fluent English Can Get You Evicted"

but buried deep in the wall of text was this ...
"their teenage daughter’s boyfriend showed up drunk and got into a fight with their neighbors"

So isn't that why they were evicted?

(but they do look like nice people)


By moving Jarrett up from the PS, that should help, he didn't look to bad in pre-season and he's a big body.


@akmk - Bully? Is that the new name for anyone you disagree with?


There is no question that my good friend Sen. Grassely is lying through his distinguished teeth and is, if I may humbly argue, full of crap.


You seem to have some kind of grudge against CS that's skewing your perception.  But really, per 2016 FBI stats, Pueblo, Denver, and Aurora all have higher murder rates and violent crime rates than Colorado Springs, and I doubt CS is going to exceed them anytime soon.


Sounds reasonable to me.
But logic and reason are lost on most people.


"Ironic that the very same groups who complain about SJWs and free speech are lodging a complaint about this girl saying things they don't like."
That isn't the point for me. The SJW's, correctly labeled as peacocks by Scott Adams, are hyper-sensitive. They want to be given trigger warnings, safe spaces etc. But when it comes to their own speech then racism, sexism etc etc is just A-OK. The problem is the hypocrisy. People here are just judging her be the standards she and her pals claim to live by.


I am thinking of introducing a new line of menswear (sorry, still thinking about the distaff offering)-it will consist of a tie with a bright red background (to go with the MAGA ball cap), with the good ole hammer-and-sickle prominently displayed in a tasteful yellow, repeating pattern. These adornments can then be worn by all male members of the Trump administration, so when they are asked by Democrats (or their surrogates, the media) if they have 'Russian ties', they can grin mischievously and retort "Why, yes we do"....


Once the full impact of Brecit takes hold and the repercussions of lower employment and civil unrest becomes a reality, the govt will mandate this an essential service......or the unemployed will lynch these strikers for their jobs.....!   For a city like London to allow this to happen is incredible.  WIthout London functioning on all gears, basically England  comes to a grinding halt.


Again and again: Our Byzantine taxation system turns more and more out to be a sham or abused Ponzi system.
Why not scrap the whole thing and go to an HST (also known as a consumption tax) 'system' only, with means tested low income people getting rebate cards for shopping purposes while the rest of us pays between 8 to 15% sales tax?


Here's what Trump answered during the campaign when asked about judges he might want to nominate to the Supreme Court.

“Well, I’d probably appoint people that would look very seriously at her e-mail disaster, because it’s a criminal activity, and I would appoint people that would look very seriously at that to start off with.”

And now he's whining that judges are "so political"?


Andrew do you think it was because he wanted to eliminate potential claims to the throne? Really?

I'm not sure, it seems more likely that Kim Jong Un would have his brother killed out of spite, I think Un frowns upon disrespect for authority just like his Dad, and Grandfather, I'm pretty sure that is the way they do things in The Peoples Democratic Republic of Korea... He already had his uncle killed for disrespecting him, and there were rumors recently that he (Un) had his wife killed as well, but I don't know if those rumors were ever substantiated.


Note the junk medical insurance in Trumpcare plans tend to drop mental health and drug rehab first. Considered second tier to physical illnesses.


Favelas are symptomatic of the huge wealth disparity that exists in Brazil.  And US homelessness is symptomatic of the very same thing that also exists here.  If we want to cure the symptoms, we have to treat the underlying disease.

In a country blessed with such immense wealth and resources, nobody should sleep under the stars except by their own preference.


I've seen no one suggest the "fees" for a standard lot are $100K.  I, for one, have suggested that by the time one buys a lot, pays the fees and does the systems developments necessary to sell or build on a lot, the cost will be at or above $100K.  Gary Crum


This will cheer the gun boosters. Cue the facetious calls to restrict and license trucks.


I understand what you're saying.  But I disagree with your broad brushing of all politicians.  The current one, based on the transition period and his first week in office, is failing to live up to even the basic responsibilities of the position, imho.  The word reckless comes to mind.  I hope he can recover.  Time will tell....


If you consider that his constituents are the 'old money' billionaire's club.   He will actually do nothing for the ordinary American, but let's watch and see what happens.


This is an article about a large, government directed, multi-level search process.  Not an article about a person commenting.  Do you have a comment regarding the article?  Thank you.


I wouldn't vote for him if he was running for administrator of Coshok Canine Castle... Period


There's just too many crazies in that party, the recent literally anti-knowledge, anti-fact statements on cannabis in the House shows they are ascendant and even though I joined party for vote, there's no way I'm supporting stupidity, fanaticism, and hysteria.
We need a new Conservatism, one that is based on intelligence, patriotism not hysterical fanatics whether they are religious, greedy or partisan. No more lunatics but for now the lunatics have too much influence on that party.
First steps are in my recommendations at end of this booklet, a sorta sordid self-exposure of what's wrong in BC, the tyranny of the Bc Liberals who are in fact Harper Cons:

Fixed it for ya :
I have never met someone from the alt-Left who thought they might be wrong. That's why they're anti-science: Science asks to be proven wrong. The alt-Left sees itself as infallible and will tolerate nothing less than unconditional surrender from anyone to their right, which includes moderate conservatives, liberals, progressives and the actual right.

That the alt-Left is a globalist, one-world government  movement is denied outright, but easily proved by perusing the biographies of its members, who are typically civil servants of some sort, Hollywood actors, or unemployed millennials who live in their parents basement and complain there is no work . It's no surprise that they are frightened of real work , they have wanted for anything. It's those immigrants, the ones from southern Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America who came to Canada, and worked and built this country and are net taxpayers that have provided for the alt-Left  so they can become SJW on the dole.


Got's to be local thieves. Who else would would seek Spam and be willing to get caught? Spam should be eaten in moderation. Most obese locals can attribute spam as one of the culprits. Granted spam is convenient since no refrigeration is required. Being Homeless has got to be the Pitts.


If this is a time for Alaskans to tighten their belts, or even eat them, why does the state continue to have a two house legislature in the era of one-man one-vote and districts based on population, not area?  It is a total duplication, and simply provides jobs for elected representatives and their staff members, and allows many Alaskans to say that their uncle/aunt/neighbor/probation officer is in the legislature.  Then again, if two houses are better than one, why not add a third or fourth house?
-
Suggestion: ISER (the University of Alaska Anchorage's Institute of Social and Economic Research) should investigate and report on the benefits of shifting from the present two house legislature to a one house legislature.  The Biblical fat years are clearly gone with the wind, and the lean years will only become more so over time.


Globe and Mail; Editorial ; Trump is a stinky poopy pants , and his feet stink, and his butt stinks and  his hair looks stupid.  What a ret@rd.


CRA is responding the Apache Struts vulnerability.  They nearly got badly burned on Heartbleed, so I think it's a case of extreme caution.

The fix isn't that difficult, and it's fairly easy to tell if your system has been compromised since the hack leaves a trail in the server logs that 's a no brainer to identify.

Speaking for myself, I only ever file on paper.  It's not that I am overly worried about security -- I just think it is awfully presumptuous of CRA to expect us to spend money on software in order to save them money on processing.  An online app for the T1 general wouldn't be very tough to write, but I guess those monkeys think we should pay for the privilege of doing their work.


Liberals, always afraid of any free speech that isn't theirs.   Keep trying to destroy our free speech and you'll find out which amendment guaranteed the first amendment.


>"Bye, Felecia!"
GLBT with this attitude are not trustworthy friends no matter the topic.
I'm GLBT and have not found any real change in friends since Trump.  I've always tried to be around intellectuals no matter their life or religion.  It is just as likely to see a 50-year old liberal woman with family freak out over knowing I voted Trump.  By the way one of the funniest things these days is seeing gays who basically defend or refuse to critique Islam as a way to show they object to Trump.


But the stink will out....


A tablet will be set up at the dispensary.


I drove a car full of out of town guests down the Denali Park Road a few years back.  One guest, Ray, is blind and can only see shadows.  I watched him listen patiently as the other guest ooo-ed and ahhed at bears, caribou and the mountain in the distance.  I did my best to fill in details to engage Ray in the Park experience.  The car-load gasped when we rounded a bend to see a large golden grizzly sitting on the road embankment just outside Ray's window.  The bear towered over the car and was beautifully backlit by the sun.  Before anyone could speak, Ray pressed his face against the glass and yelled, "Is that a bear?" and "I can see it!!!"


Or they were sending a message of zero tolerance for terrorism.  Things changed after 911.

Yonge and  Bloor  is   one of Toronto's  MOST expensive neighbour hoods ....what has this to  do with affordable housing ?


By Trudeau telling Trump he's ready to renegotiate NAFTA, he basically showed everyone how really inept he is.

It's like a poker player showing his hand.  Guaranteed to lose.

Hopefully someone is reading him bedtime passages from "The Art of the Deal."


A lot of big name brands started out exactly this way. In the mid-60s I went to a shoe company selling Tigers located in a run down rental house in Beaverton Oregon. Bought a pair of running shoes from a guy named Phil. That company now calls itself Nike. And in the late 70s a bearded hippie on a bicycle used to come around my bike shop selling tires and imported bike parts from Italy. He got to sleep in the back of the shop because motels were too expensive. His company is called Specialized and is the biggest bike company in the USA. So these entrepreneurs are the future.


In the right hands (e.g. Mulroney or Harper or Martin) launching preliminary talks with China and taking the years necessary to strike an equitable trade deal is something worth doing at this time.

Played skillfully, it could see the US intent on curbing Chinese currency manipulations and one sided trade deals resolve not to take Canada for granted and to speedily negotiate with us a return to the bilateral FTA that was a good deal for both Canada and the US.

Also played skillfully, it may motivate the Chinese to be more conciliatory in negotiations with us because they would love to cut deep into the trade action the US currently has with us.  .

But the huge caveats are "in the right hands" and "played skillfully".

Trump and his cohorts will play hard ball.  The Chinese will play hardball on steroids.  The Boy Blunder will take a Bambi-like approach.

How could anything go wrong?.


The whole process has never been more than a joke, designed to convince the naïve that Your Government Is Doing Something.

I remember back in the '90's I had batteries confiscated when entering the 'secure' area at Pearson. It was highly inconvenient ... after getting through the check, I had to walk over to the secure area's convenience store and replace them.


this is all starting to make sense now.  amy demboski is a gay terrorist.


You paraphrased an old Abe Lincoln line!   Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt... I wonder what Honest Abe would have thought of fellow Republican Donald Trump!


Clearly, ISIS has nothing on angry, white gunmericans.

You’re a Breitbart Operative aren’t you?


(Part one of three)  The Nicene Creed did not originally have the Filoque. Its addition led to the Great Schism. The similarity with the Reformation lies in both events involving a betrayal of Scripture perceived by the dissenting parties-the Orthodox Church and Martin Luther.—Robert Helfman

Until just now, I had not taken the addition of the Filioque to the Creed seriously.  The Church added the Filioque fifty-six years after Nicaea I (325) at Constantinople I (381).  I have not considered that important for the 1054 break between east and west, though others may.  On the other hand, the first official proclamation of a creed with the addition of the Filioque came in 589 with the Third Council of Toledo.


A possible alternative could be a municipal tax or raised rates on weekday parking spaces, including street, city-owned or commercial surface lots and underground spaces. Those vehicles are going somewhere, after all.


Anchorage was a trashy little hick town when I got here in 1957. It hasn't changed. It's still a trashy little hick town. That's Alaska's legacy.


That's how Lisa won last time with just 37% of the vote. Scott McAdams got 24% even as far too many Dems wrote in Murkowski's name out of fear of Joe Miller. This time if most of the Dems who voted for Lisa vote for Margaret Stock and if those who call themselves "Independent" also vote for Independent  Lt. Col. Stock she has a real chance of taking this race. With two Republican Senators, one of whom is the lowest of all on the totem poll, we will not have much representation in the Senate. With an Independent Senator Stock able to work both sides the state of Alaska will be better served. Too bad we don't still have a Democratic Senator still holding a Senate seat since the Senate will most certainly be led by the Democratic Party.


American courts have consistently refused to allow bans on hate speech in schools. Still, in this case the suspension of the main culprit is justified because so egregious.


The Washington Com-post has developed a very bad habit of quoting unnamed sources with no factual or evidentiary backing, how is this news. The Russia collusion investigation has been running for 9 months now and not ONE, not even ONE Russian person has been name as a co conspirator in the collusion.


This video will be forever burned into my memory. It was rough.


Christians were a thriving, if secret, community there for over 200 years.  The growth was through family but tens of thousands were present in the country when it was reopened.


Thank you RG for a productive and "American" response to those who are intolerant.


"Fake News" is a subject attributed to Trump's war vs. the liberal media.
In February, for example, CNN preached that Mass Deportation was underway.
CNN conducted several human interest stories of homes and churches telling CNN of willingness to harbor undocumented immigrants. That when immigration people knocked on their doors, they would not open it nor let them in.
-
The problem with the CNN broadcasts about "Mass Deportation", was that the government was not about to begin deporting ALL of the 11 million illegal immigrants in the US.
-
What CNN attempted to do was exaggerate and expand into an anti-Trump propaganda the real and actual news of the arrest of 680 illegal immigrants in 12 states.
-
And that makes the CNN broadcast of mass deportation fortified with human interest stories about people ready to provide sanctuary - as Fake News about mass deportation.


Yes!

Alec Baldwin could be the General Secretary/Emperor and Al Gore could be  pope of its state religion, "The Church of Climate Blame"....


Now we are getting somewhere. Cutting through the distorted, over the top rhetoric that surrounds this issue to offer practical suggestions that may lead to some practical results. Good post hughe.


I expect it will slowly build back up.

However, the Civil platform needs to fix the problem of requiring 3rd party cookies to function. After registering and numerous failed attempts to log-in over several days, I finally took the time to go digging through Civil's documentation and found the requirement for 3rd party cookies. If I want to comment, I temporary turn on 3rd party cookies, then turn them off when I'm done.

Accepting 3rd party cookies reduces privacy. I'm willing to do that on a limited basis with the Herald and Civil situation, but I guarantee most users who block them give up on trying to login without ever learning why it's not working for them.

Getting rid of 3rd party cookies will require closer integration between Civil's platform and the Herald website, but no more so than what was necessary for Disqus.


unfortunately it seems to be working


Lets just note that the boomers paid for their parents retirement and the millennial kids will pay for theirs in turn. It has always been thus. Yes, boomers may, by chance, own high value houses but it isn't accessible money as they have to live somewhere ... nobody is out partying to dawn on the value of their house.


And,  leaving the woman one tube short.

One of the things that people need to do is to not support Catholic hospitals where ever they have a choice of hospital. Hospitals compete against one another for patients and if the non-
catholic hospital closes, women's health care goes out the tubes.  Women will  not have the choices of care and their lives will be placed at greater risk than they would face in a non-Catholic hospital.

People who live where only a Catholic hospital is available need to write their local, state, and national representatives, senators, and other governmental leaders regarding limitations imposed on access to all forms of care because the local hospital won't provide it. .They need to also be active in speaking up in local and state media.  And if one woman suffers due to lack of care, delayed care, or God forbid a woman dies because a case is mismanaged trying to save a fetus that doctors say  has no chance, then there needs to be a public explosion of outrage


Sorry, I don't get why the bitter response?  My comment acknowledged that this was a sad situation and I thanked the poster for clarification of a fact Not included in the story.

But thanks for demonstrating how intolerance got us where we are today.


Had the girl's Mother not complained to the police but to the RCC, I wonder what would have  happened?

One thing missing from story:  In her complaint to the police, mother of the victim had alleged that her child was sexually assaulted by Mr Figarez in a church complex between January and March in 2015, mostly when she came for confession.

How many Catholics know that the confession "booth" was invented centuries ago for one purpose: to stop priests from touching penitents.


The RCMP are arresting and detaining them under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and turning them over to Canada Immigration for processing.

There is a very good legal reason why refugee claimants (not asylum seekers which are a completely different class of persons) are not being charged in respect of their entry to Canada.

Under Article 31 of the 1951 Convention on Refugees Canada has undertaken to not prosecute refugee claimants for illegal entry into Canada including any issues of false documents or fraud relating to that entry.

Canada has enacted that exemption into our domestic law as required by the Convention in various iterations of our immigration legislation over the years. Currently that exemption is contained at s. 133 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

So no charges because the law exempts refugees recognizing that refugees who are fleeing persecution are different from other migrants.


He would fit right in with this administration


I think that's very reasonable. What do you expect? How are we going to get good people to keep these jobs without paying them a fair wage?


Actually, the issue is whether she consented before she passed out (not whether her clothing was removed).

As you suggest, we don't actually know a lot about what went on, but we do know she was able to flag down a cab and get in it.  Whatever happened after is up for interpretation isn't it?

Reasonable doubt exists in such circumstances.

The big lesson in all this is don't get pissed drunk without having a friend accompany you home.


How helpful!


All you have to look at is table 3 (Revenues) and table 7 (Expenses) and you get the raw dollars, not figures relative to GDP, so you can easily see that there was more expenditures than revenues in every Mulroney year.

And before you get into the notion of debt servicing crippling Mulroney... the cost of servicing the debt in the Expenses table balloons from 16.9Bn in 1982 to 41Bn by 1992, or from 17% of expenses to 28% of expenses. Any debt problems he inherited (and he did) were clearly exacerbated by taking the federal debt from 230Bn to 620Bn and tacking on significantly larger annual interest payments to our ongoing costs.

You don't see federal finances getting interest payments back down to the percentage of expenses they represented under Trudeau until 2004, in fact.


If they bite the hand that is trying  to feed them, it is time to deport


I was referring to her comment about Trudeau's tongue hanging out. Unnecessary and inappropriate.


An opinion that conflicts with what's actually happening on the ground.

Iraq had ceased to be a threat to Israel at the end of the Gulf War. Wikileaks proved the US entered Iraq to stop Iran from aiding the Taliban — border conflicts were with Iranian forces, not Iraqi.

Israel wants regime change in Syria because a new regime may be open to swapping the Golan for peace — the one offer that's been on the table for decades. Israel has been supplying the rebels with humanitarian aid.

Obama's problem is that the CIA had no idea who they were supporting or how, and then ISIS made the situation more complicated. Russia supports Assad because Assad can fight ISIS.


Denver Parks and Recreation is a very poorly run organization that utilizes no internal controls or operational procedures.  I'm shocked this does not happen daily!

The San Andreas Fault just may accommodate them


much ado about nothing..but let's time it so everyone can speculate on another nothing-burger days before the election..


Yes, I too recall that Clownwell gave up his "historical house" exemption so as not to appear as taking atvantage. He should be paying full price and if not, just another example in his long list of theft from tax payers.


The evidence does not tell us who said what, or who did what before the cop arrived.  Accordingy your belief that he did something wrong is prejudice.


1/2
Your comment is neither fair nor accurate. No one doubts that sexual abuse has occurred in the church, that clerics have committed heinous acts, that bishops have covered up. To question whether justice was done in a particular case is not to deny the reality that abuse has occurred; and your assertion that anyone is trying "to silence the voices of truth to serve [your] own selfish needs" is rhetorical overkill, at best.
In the present instance: Shanley is a high profile case who was already controversial before he was charged. He was charged, convicted, sentenced; his conviction was affirmed on appeal; he served his time and he's now living under probation supervision. The State and the community have the right and duty to accept his conviction and to insist that he comply with his probation conditions. I don't think anyone here is arguing anything different. My comments go to how the community can promote the safety of the community by supporting the ex-convict, guilty or not.


You are Raymond assuming the December Conference will still take place.... Given that the KZN ANC Conference has been declared today unlawful!
I suspect it will be delayed.


The Trumpster was relieved, Comey only called him a liar five times. A real president with some degree of integrity would have been outraged.


In many ways I think the distance between Eugene(and the overall concern of the RG) and Springfield is much greater than 6 lanes of asphalt.


Neither is outsourcing. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Making money off jailing native children seem a respectable source of income then?


All right, it's only partly about people leaving the Church. It is mainly about why you should not leave the Church. It still should mention a significant cause for people leaving -- the disgust about the clerical abuse scandal.  RD and the writer of the article just want to sweep it under the rug. One of the main penchants of the Catholic conservative is a belief that all is for the best in this best of all possible Churches.


"Elsewhere, the dialogue often sounds a little too modern ,,,"

Oh, no...not this again!  Get it enough on the small screen, with Vikings saying things like, "Let's get it done" and 16th century pirates espousing obvious 21st century social issues--in 21st century terminology.

Yeah, I know, connecting with the audience, etc., etc.

Plain speak is better speak, and connection would be instantaneous.


Oh they are not increasing the capital gains inclusion rate?

Of course they will not.  All rich people (people who don't work but got the money from capital gains) voted for the Federal Liberals.  Bill Morneau himself is a beneficiary of large capital gains.


The bill to leave passed yesterday by 498 votes to 114. Almost half of the no side being SNP members. Free trade is a two way street with the EU countries benefitting from it to the tune of over 100 billion Euros a year. Should the EU wish to jeopardize that then there is always WTO rules which a large portion of the world manages to trade by.


What is wrong with the legislature!?  They have a budget issue to address and they are wasting their time holding up a new industry that will contribute to the tax base.  My head is going to explode!


THAT'S IT!!!  I may actually start watching football these days!  Also I think this issue shows who the real SNOWFLAKES are... do you all complaining not understand that our first amendment protects free speech?  Don't like it? MOVE TO RUSSIA!!!


Thanks for the additional details ADN. I suppose there is still a possibility that he had bought the gun on the street and he didn't commit the 5 murders, but his behavior during the shooting indicates probability. Makes me curious if there are any unsolveded cases in Virginia and at what point did this man fall off his rocker.


Interesting story of Setsuko Thurlow.  Her aversion to nuclear weapons is especially understandable.
Realistically, only a child would believe that the world is going to voluntarily give up nuclear weapons.  Or that the western democracies should "set a good example" by doing so unilaterally.
Some believe the "One Ring" was a literary device used by JRR Tolkien to symbolize nuclear weapons.  It would be wonderful if these weapons could all be somehow "unmade". Unfortunately real earth is more complicated than Middle Earth.


Keep on name calling, its served your ilk so well.  I'm getting that Chris Matthews warm feeling just thinking how miserable you out of touch lefties must be today.


Quoting from the article: "Communities considered distressed in the study had high numbers of residents without high school diplomas, . . . ."

Whose fault is it, that these unemployed did not bother to get a high school diploma or get a GED?  Isn't a high school education offered to everyone free of charge courtesy of the taxpayers?  Isn't bilingual education offered to all students for whom English is not their first language?  Take some personal responsibility, students and parents.


I called the murderer an ape.  That has nothing to do with race, and I will make no assumptions about the race of the murderer because it makes no difference.  I called the murder a gang hit because that's the way I see it.  Come on, are you defending a person who shoots another human in the head with a gun in broad daylight, on a Eugene street?  You're mad because I called that person an ape?  I think your perspective is sick, defending a person like that.


We may have 500 channels to choose from but 499 of them are garbage.
Like Fox News where Will briefly spewed his prissy brand of BS, before he got fired.


What is the "corporate police"?


You go, Kitty!  Wish I had said that.


Push button. It's pretty easy. Did your local Texas newspaper kick you off their comment board?


Ha, ha, ha, very amusing for the liberal press to complain?


I think your editorial is premature without a careful reading or understanding of their objectives. From their summary of their objectives they state: "We will update these objectives as we advance our work."
Their desire to eliminate the "dispute mechanism" won`t be easy to negotiate .
But the real sleeper is their section on "rules of origin" that most people do not understand the implications.
Their negotiator Robert Lighthizer is one of the best.
Most importantly , Trump needs a win and if you can`t win with China, Russia and North Korea you can pick on Mexico and Canada.


You seem like a nice guy. Thanks for your label of me as a liar. First, do the math. Unprecedented? No. And 1 full, 2 part. Enjoy your personal attacks.


I am blaming this government for paying him out and rushing it aa well.  Point is and it is simple...he and his family are terrorists.  We gave him 10.5 million.  If our courts our constitution and our leaders made paying a terrorist 10.5 million possible it all must change.  Could care less about his age the UN nothing.  Scum who killed an allie and blinded an allie....got 10.5 million and an apology from a liberal.  For the record the Albertan. Aka excluded tax paying Canadian does not offee an apology to the scumbag and hoped he meets ala soon!


There are many aspects of STEM careers - e.g. sales. The related technical and busines issues are certainly more complex than selling T-shirts - industrial scale marketing and investment , implied R&D, plant capitalization, supply chains .....
If you graduate from a professional STEM course you will at least have the IQ horsepower, work ethic and initiative to manage mega deals and associated projects. Shakespeare is a mere side show ......


Nice and I was good until you exposed the no diesel power train. I will be looking else where my new SUV.


Your post betrays an ignorance of the fundamental facts.  The "candidate" was a Liberal.


Well if they won't answer the telephone get of your but and go knock on their door.... That's what they did when they wanted you to vote for 'em.

I will be on my way over to see Dennis Egan tomorrow.


Dear Hennie van Vuuren
My biggest unanswered question of that era of infamy is why were we persuaded to go into Anglo by Henri Kissinger?
Your an open secrets man, tell us that story. please.!!!!!


62 billion spread over 20 years is peanuts. We will still be as dependent on the US for protection as before. Not likely to impress the Americans or anyone else that we are prepared to carry our weight.


Ad hominem, ad hominem uber alles.  Calling people names without basis means almost nothing except that you like to vomit on other people's political views.  Terms like these are so overused that they have no meaning.  You might as well call Trump supporters "do-do heads."


“Saiki said that for rail to survive, the city and HART need to do two things: control costs and rebuild public confidence.” If past history is a barometer that will NEVER happen. The same sloppy (on purpose) 'creative' book keeping will continue. In a few more years (or sooner) the administration will be back with hat-in-hand, blaming other 'influences' for more money needed. IMHO, this state may be a worse swamp than DC. We've had Abercrombie followed by Ige, and now (gulp) Hanabusa?!  Cayetano and company would have been SO MUCH better than the joke we have now. What a MESS.


Undeclared, then what you need to do is get a law passed that does not allow ANYONE access to the voter listalong with all other public information.
 By doing so, you support blocking/hiding public information and support the government in keeping the business of the people secret.
In almost every state, voter lists or portions of those lists are public. Re-read the article.
It is called being transparent I think.  Many people want their government to operate in the open and not behind locked doors.
Gives the people a right to public records.  I happen to really like that right so I can see what people who are employed by our government are doing. It helps with accountability of the actions in the name of our government.
Use your energy to do something positive, educate yourself about your rights as a member of the public to


Awkward pay raise.
Don't you mean these incompetent fools just flipped all of us a big Russian bird. I mean incompetent bureaucrats in Russia giving themselves unearned pay raises it's expected. Incompetent bureaucrats in Lane County are not expected to get a raise for incompetence.


"I am sure there was."

Oh please, please, please Mr. Bill!  Show us the links!

 Let's get  Ted Cruz  in. Not sure if he's too old or what ,but at 66 yr old which i define as a Young Spring Chicken, (lol) let's get Judge Andrew Napolitano to serve in the Supreme court. IMUA!


It's mostly just you.
And the me first capitalists.


I don't believe that we or anyone else can impose democracy. When the United States was formed we already had experience with self rule and elected governments. Trying to create a democracy where there is no history or experience with it has been no more successful than trying to do away with it here would be.


"Hillary lost* in the same way that Trump won.With an asterisk"

Pretending Trump's victory rates the same as a questionable baseball statistic shows your lack of knowledge concerning the U.S. Constitution. It may not be the law of YOUR land but it is the law of OURS. Americans - the ones who actually count - don't agree with you.  Sorry.
It's also strange hoe Constitutional scholars as yourself claim to know the intent of the 2nd Amendment but have zero knowledge of the 12th and 23rd Amendments.. Oh well - I guess you can't (don't) know everything.


It's funny that a million people came together to pray against racism, senseless murders, rape, HIV etc and you are complaining that they were too white and too male.


There is plenty of oxygen on Mars but you would not burn it in a free form from the atmosphere.  Nuclear power like what is being used in pathfinder would be the bomb.


Iceland did this as part of their response to the bank failures of 2008. Instead of bailing their banks out they nationalized the banks and gave dividends directly to the people thus eliminating the middle men in the banking management, their expense, and risk taking with other people's money for personal profit. Of course, they believe all their citizens lives matter, as a nation we have never believed that. They have a level of honesty, justice, and morality that we have never achieved here. Many of us think they are helping God to punish the poor. Why they think He needs their help is beyond me.


Mr Morneau created policies that will increase his net worth through shares of Morneau Shepell.   There is a conflict of interest and he has directly enriched himself using his power.   He has reduced the wealth of business owners and generated more business for himself.  This is slimy and he must resign.


Haha! You just made that up and not particularly well either. To which "book" do you refer? The week Obama left office, while Trump was telling aides that he wanted his briefings short and with pictures, Obama published a 50 page paper in the Harvard Law Review. Come back when you know what you're talking about.


Nope, only people like yourself, amela, and the likes of Al Sharpton think they're priveledge. Why would you say we're getting too worked up over this? Because you're giving her a pass with her race card... People like yourself allow this kind of foolishness to go on. Remember Proffesor Gates of Harvard? He tried to pull the race card and his relationship with Obama in his confrontation with a police officer, who btw was doing his job... Obama had to apologize because he did not assess the situation before sticking his nose where it shouldn't have been. That incident fueled the erosion of race relationship in this country and the distrust of our law enforcement officers...


Its never been a true religious ( or God issue ). Same sex or homosexuality is abnormal human behavior.


The law is Not unconstitutional though


I'm so sorry to hear of this drowning. May God bless his family and blessings to the two survivors.


Pope Francis is talking out of the back of his head: St Pius V said the same thing in 'Quo Primum' but Paul VI overruled him.
The question is, whose Magisterium do we accept; the latest one?
Liturgical reforms since Trent have never altered the structure of worship until Vatican II.
Another Pope or Council can quite easily undo the 'reforms' of Vatican II just as easily as Vatican II undid Quo Primum.


If there was a flag, it is on a cellphone video somewhere. Let's see it.


The "ticket" just puts me in line for the next available help, soon as they can get around to me.


In forests trees grow, die, fall over, repeat.  I've done my fair share of wondering just how old an "old growth forest" is. And also if the old growth forest is that old, what was there the year before that?


What did he just say yesterday ? Didn't he say something to that effect ?


Hipster doofus chic will forever remain a mystery to me.  Storing that stuff in a china cabinet.......wow.  Sure, Tuppeware was a great product, but it was overpriced and one of the first pyramid sales scams out there.  (Not as bad as Amway, water purifiers, or some others, but still pretty shady).

My Mom actually had a job packing Tuppperware orders.  Our dining room was a Tupper-warehouse for a couple of years and Mom assembled orders as piecework; on a good week, she made about 40 bucks (but also got quite a bit of free merchandise).


Why haven’t we heard a word from the spouses of these victimized women or better yet, why aren’t men wearing their niqab in Quebec to protest the impact of Bill 62 ?


Ur Laughs will be right beside them,  getting to probably pick before them.


Just as a reminder......technically speaking, we are still at war with North Korea. The war ended in a truce, not a peace treaty. Any American stupid enough to go to North Korea for any reason, must accept the consequences. I would ponder to guess that Mr. Warmbier's condition is pretty serious for North Korea to cut him loose. They don't want a dead white American on their hands. Hopefully he will recover and lead a productive life. People may say that Obama threw him under the bus but there is really nothing anyone could do. Wow, I am defending Obama!! I am willing to wager that if one of them Korean Americans who are still held prisoner had the same condition, he will not be let go. From what I read, North Korea regards them as race traitors. Despite of all this, there are still Americans who want to go to North Korea. That is just too weird. State Dept should put North Korea on a travel ban list.


Oh, right. And your proof is?


I'm glad the harvested salmon are going to feed people in need. I would like to point out that the line about protein being expensive isn't exactly true. Some of the best protein sources (feel free to fact check this with the latest research) are plant based and cheap: black beans, chickpeas, lentils, split peas, kidney beans, and edamame (soy beans), plus they provide fiber and nutrients that meat-based protein is lacking. Ask any vegan body builder or triathlete - they'll give you a great demonstration of how well these plant based sources fuel their bodies.


Listening to Hillary and Trump - the libertarian nominee is looking better and better everyday.


https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/donald-trumps-base-is-shrinking/

Trump’s Base Is Shrinking

There’s been a considerable decline in the number of Americans who strongly approve of Trump, from a peak of around 30 percent in February to just 21 or 22 percent of the electorate now. (The decline in Trump’s strong approval ratings is larger than the overall decline in his approval ratings, in fact.) Far from having unconditional love from his base, Trump has already lost almost a third of his strong support. And voters who strongly disapprove of Trump outnumber those who strongly approve of him by about a 2-to-1 ratio, which could presage an “enthusiasm gap” that works against Trump at the midterms.


Zero in on liberalism that pushed to "free" the mentally ill from state institutions and immerse them into the general population.  Epic fail.  Same with convicts.  You will never see a liberal taking a societal defect into their own home.  They expect someone else to do it.


Nah, Alaska Trumpnuts are just too lazy to get off the couch.


She lost the faith based voting machines.

Meanwhile, Canada and many European countries have paper ballots counted by hand.

Letting partisan Republicans control unaccountable voting machines is a bad joke.


What's funny is that your posts never have citations to reliable sources for all the claims you make. No one is saying climate change represents grave danger such that we need to stop driving cars. No one is saying that we need to go back to the Stone Age. Instead, what those who believe in man-made climate change want to do is not pollute so much that life as we know it is altered in some permanent way. Did life go on without the dinosaurs. Um, . . . Well, your guess is as good as mine on that one. I'm still not sure of the answer, you?


Pat Perriello, I'm so embarrassed for you. Either you didn't do your homework for this article, or you were the wrong choice as the author.

1. "Two rabbis wrote a provocative article": first, name them; second, set the context: not all rabbis think the same. Rabbi Poupko, for instance, is an Orthodox rabbi, the descendant of a long, distinguished rabbinical lineage, the Poupko rabbis, &  the Twersky Chasidic dynasty. Wikipedia.com them & their families.

2. "At first blush it seems they are saying there is no role, and Christians disrespect Judaism by trying to celebrate this Jewish tradition."
At second blush, too: that's exactly what they were saying. Exactly.

3. "The notion appears to undercut efforts at greater ecumenical understanding."
Sir, it is not a "notion". It is a thoroughly developed, documented position.  If you had researched these two rabbis, you would have realized that "ecumenical understanding" is not the goal of their essay.


Not mine anyway. The one that has kids does not have a car and has never suggested he needs one. He has two daughters and lives in Fairview Slopes. He uses car shares when necessary. Evo usually though he seems to have memberships in all of them.


", Mr. Trump spent last week extolling the benefits of coal, oil and natural gas – as well as nuclear power"

Ironically, according to real science, it will be Trump's nukes that will save us all from an AGW collapse while Merkel's 10 years of wind/solar builds, wasted $1 Trillion, rewarded Germany with the worst power rates in Europe, 100K folks killed by coal wind/solar backup, and an increase in per capita GHG's by 30% when biofuels are counted using science not politics.

Note that over the same 10 years a few decades earlier, France used nukes to nearly eliminate electricity GHG's, at a cost lower than using fossil fuels, saving a million French lives from air pollution, and maintaining some of the lowest power rates in Europe.

Trump should have a lot of fun ridiculing energy illiterates like Trudeau and Merkel.

But somehow Federal and local gubment jobs go up. To a number which itself which should be at least slashed in half.


False Flag. That is the narrative you are going for?

From an agency that has been called internal by other agencies Trumpland. But it was just Comey being a big old False Flag Plant. Yeah that is some long game thinking right there.

Obama appoints Comey. Either super genius levels of planning or super stupid, those that hate him can't decide.


Has no trouble lashing out at business people but has to be prodded and pressured into doing the same to white supremacists and nazis...MAGA!!!


"Pruitt is leading a group of 26 state attorneys general who are suing the EPA..."

Dang! That's almost half the states!


Get over yourself is what you do. It is very likely your opinion is 'simply not required' so unless asked keep it to yourself. If it bothers you too much avoid hanging around a whole lot.  Not everyone is going to share your opinions.


I may be delusional, but I know there's no evidence for what you allege.

I get it that there are tons of people who've been influenced by the media's 24/7 agitprop on this stuff, but wishes are still not horses.


If Bill C29 passes, as is, the banks ombudsman will have final say on everything from complaints all the way to class action suits.

If anyone thinks this sounds "fair", then I'm a Morneau's uncle.

And btw, is this only a Quebec problem?  Are not all provinces being affected?


No health care issues? Many poorer Canadians had only limited access to health care in the "good old days" and many died relatively young.


you think that 'ABC' or 'ABH' had no effect in 2016? And they were cultural themes, not economic. It certainly affected my riding.


This isn't a protest, it's a temper tantrum. They didn't get their way, so what are they going to do next? Hold there breath until they turn blue?


is anyone surprised to learn that Hollywood liberal male actors  (Crowe and Damon) are really misogynistic hypocrites? I'm not.


When basketball and other sports programs expand and the libraries get cut.... that is just plain wrong. Some rural school districts are following this strategy. Their "mission statement" and budget allocation do not match. Their budget is stating that the sports program is the most important part of the school. They will continue to charter planes so that children (4th-8th graders in addition to high school varsity) can fly around to participate in sporting events. Meanwhile, their reading scores bottom out, and their libraries are treated like storage rooms. My question is that for all the money spent on sports...how many students have professional sports careers? It seems that the districts have failed all the way around.


Ya... I usually see middle aged men and women with the phones in their hands.***as in my fellow gen Xers


Give it away give it away give it away now.  Give it away give it away give it away now.  Give it away give it away give it away now.  Give it away give it away give it away now.   Give it away give it away give it away now.


I am posting this with great respect, in order to illustrate that the members of the choir who perished were people just like you and me, looking to live their lives in peace and happiness.

Too often, we confuse the people with their leadership.

Please watch.


After Israelis saw what happened in Gaza, no one can blame them for being skeptical about reconciling with the pigheaded terrorists who run Gaza (Hamas and Idlamic Jihad). Once Israel left Gaza, it was turned into a terrorist cesspool.  Palestinians are taught from a young age that Israel is a cancer, the leaders of Hamas and Fatah are shortsighted cowards who support perpetual war.


You gotta admit , their structures are creative and resourceful , too bad they have sh*t for brains and choose to be on the streets. But then again our politicians can't seem to find a solution , so that makes them............


What I find curious is that the family still feel comfortable inviting you to family events since you are,  after all, no longer part of their family even if they still like you.  Personally,  if I were your ex I would ask them not to invite you, since I would feel that you were essentially trespassing on my world, which is my family.   For whatever reason,  you are now divorced.  I suspect that over the years they will stop inviting you,  especially if your ex finds a new partner who will attend family events.   It would be unfair to her to invite you.


We had a police officer come to speak to our women's auxiliary at the Church on this last year. Absolutely shocking how the powers to be have been hoodwinked by these special interest groups. If the police attended a domestic dispute years ago unless there was actual signs of injury they would tell the woman to see a Justice of the Peace if she wanted a charge laid. Then this discretion was taken away and they have to arrest the man regardless of the fact that most of these charges go nowhere and tie up an already burdened court system. He also told us that since the Ghomeshi verdict in Toronto the special interest groups want to make charges against men absolute liability offences. He got a lot of questions but after his talk he got a good round of applause. It is nice that the constabulary will send their people to educate groups in the community.


Now if only America would settle down, stop invading countries and killing world leaders - we could all breathe a sigh of relief. Israel could be treated like any other country and the US could sit at home and count its shekels.

Win win.

And of course, America doesn't always pay what it's assessed as for e.g. Reagan's withholding funds when he didn't like a resolution on Israel and Zionism.


Perilous and unstable times reflect in a very volatile economy.


We need to keep our eye on Richard Spencer , a white nationalist leader in the "alt right" movement who had a conference at the "National Policy Insititute" ( a think tank that promotes white nationalism).  At conference recently in washington attended by many white nationalists, at the end of it, media were kicked out, but people recorded lines from NASI literature were read in German, where white people were referred to as "people of the golden sun".  Apparently America was made for white people, and many at the end of it yelled "hail Trump", "hail our people, hail victory" (many using nazi salute).  Spencer has ties to Bannon.  Apparently there was also some D-rated vietnamese porn star named "Tina Tequila" who was yelling "sieg (Zelig) Richard Spender."
This is absolutely terrifying.  Spencer thinks the alt-right is a body without a head, and that trump had been a head without a body.  Put the two together == Frankenstein' monster.
Check out article at huffinfton post.


Has it come to this in the USA that when you get in an argument it is OK to shoot and kill someone? They really do want a constitution that reflects 1776 .
Throw in the race issue and you have a very nasty country down there.
. I hope Colin Kapernick wears a Sask roughrider sweater this weekend.


Oh come on!  We all knew what Don Jr meant.  The Conservative Reps vote on Tuesday and the liberal dems vote on Wednesday!  Everyone knows that!!

No I just think you shouldn't be wasting my and your time. You have given no example of your understanding of economics. So with evidence shown and gathered I drew my own conclusion. Hence my thinking that you ARE a liberal. If I'm wrong then no big loss. Just would mean there's a first time for everything.


"If you build it, they will come."  seems applicable here.

I will be pleased to oppose, with both funds and other efforts, any Lane County Commissioner, whether in my district or not, either for re-election or for higher office, who wants to encourage an additional influx of parasites to be supported by my tax dollars.

"It’s just kind of a no brainer for tax payers".


She was an 23 years old.  The relationship was consensual.  It's a matter Bill Clinton and his wife have been able to resolve, but you're still butt hurt?


Kinda hard to shoot someone in the face without a gun, isn't it?


Please stop beeing arrogant. At least in his homecountry it works better than the catholic colleagues with their mysogyny, their problems with sexuality and their sexual abuse cases...


That'll change after you've been married a while.


You are merely whinging at us who see Trump as a lying, narcissistic, ignorant, sexist, racist ar$ehole. Since he is a conservative, you of course leap to his defense -- actually, you leap to the attack of those who see him as he is.


How about allowing 18 year-olds the right to marry on their own.  In special cases, minors 16 to 17, maybe 15, can marry with parental permission PLUS an application process that includes counseling and multiple interviews with child protective services (CPS).


couldn't disagree with Audrey more!
The family comes here and uses this safe haven to foment war elsewhere
 this guy kills at least one soldier and the people of Canada should pay
 Let him take his issues up in America
as far as I can see this guy is only Canadian for what he can take
and if he gets any money I trust the American family will take it from him
 then he may have something to beef about
 why do we spend money on these Canadians of convenience?
in the end its the Canadian taxpayer who gets the shaft again


Perfectly understandable, however do they even try to pronounce your name or simply inform you that use should use an "easier" name?


Totally out-of-touch racist Democrats keep playing the phony Race Card.


An income tax has my vote.


Fully agreed - "something is not civil is not based on whether or not you agree with a comment". Over the past few months I've also increasingly had conservative, and especially Christian, but civil, comments deleted as "uncivil". That some find it easier to just cooperatively delete comments than to respond ultimately only demonstrates weakness for their side of an argument.


No doubt your daughter is an adult. Treat her like one. You don't own her.


Prentice made the mistake of being too honest laying blame on the electorate and a compliant red Tory PC government that didn't pull back the reins particularly with public service wages and world class infrastructure.  There is a noticeable difference with highway quality once you leave Alberta and enter into Saskatchewan or BC and highways are extremely expensive to build and maintain.

The excessive spending ironically started again when Ralph Klein stopped drinking after eliminating the debt and was at it's apex under the contemptible Champagne Socialist Redford who did her best to undermine true Conservativism.


Mandi wrote: "People diagnosed as transgender should no more be open to discrimination and violence that someone diagnosed as having an anxiety disorder."

Exactly what the bill is about.


If nothing is done about Clintons crimes, Obama's crimes...Justice is done in this country, we will be no better than Mexico, or Russia where the rich and powerful escape Justice.  And one more thing, Justice will be down at the street level, dragged to the streets and hanged.....


"Rabbi Reuven Firestone, Amir Hussain and Pim Valkenberg only briefly spoke about the election results itself. An especially poignant moment came when Firestone, overcome with emotion, said, "If it turns out that Muslims are registered … I don't think it will ever work. It reminds people like me about what happened to my parents.""

We hear you, Rabbi Firestone!  We must all work together to stop Trump from turning our nation into the Fourth Reich.


Well said, J. T., a page from Bernie's book, way too late though on your part and Clinton's.

Corporations want to make the most money, pay the least wages, pay the least taxes, and to that effect, lay off people and send jobs anywhere they want in the world.  Trump and Harper would have you believe that, no, immigrants and socialists are the problem. And Clinton and Trudeau would have you believe  Trump, and Harper are the problem.

It's under controlled corporate power, people. Wake up.


Well if he were an American, he would probably have 'Gone Postal" and shot up his workmates, but that is much harder in the UK.

May be he would have just planted a bomb - Brum sadly has a tradition of bombs being planted.


Lynch (heard he still does not know the playbook) and the OZ are busts.  Some decent QBs will be available in the draft, but what good does it do when you have to get a RT who can block.  Seattle got the Texans malcontent, and looks like Elway whiffed.  Why?  Is the turnstile guaranteed money?  So what!!!


The problem I see it is that this country and its citizens are now addicted to debt. I mean, people take on million dollar mortgages just so they can say they live in a million dollar house! It's madness, and insanity.
People think interest rates are never going to rise. The US Fed hinted rates will rise 3-4 times next year because of likely inflation down there. If Canada doesn't follow suit, our currency will be completely worthless and it won't matter if your house is worth millions because it's priced in useless Canadian currency.
Liberals don't care. They will take on more debt to pay for shiny things to make us all feel good when in the end we will all be paying by having a devalued currency. And if we can't afford to pay our debts, who in their right mind will lend us even more money?


i wondered at  RG:  ".....sheriff’s office has to pay to train its officers to detect drivers who are under the influence of marijuana..."  other than a blood test - what are the officers "trained" to do?  as if it was an unbiased decision to search or detain a "suspicious/probable DUII" driver who was high.  what is their criteria?  use dogs?  it would be nice to have that info.


NOT long ENOUGH.


Your words are poison Duarte. They always have been. The capture speak and defensive nature of your column I am afraid carries no water. When you authors explain the millions your direct family has earned, and you explain your own bank statements and subject yourselves to a lifestyle audit I'll consider believing you. To state that NDZ is the only woman around capable of being president I find insulting to women, and if this book aggrieved you so much you have the perfectly legal right to sue, sue and then sue some more. So why don't you? And just FYI, KPMG did renege on their report as you put it. Sadly unlike you, they can be held accountable and will be made to pay the price.

I'm curious to know though, based on your rants about strong woman being picked on,  just where do you stand on Bathabile Dlamini? If she's the best you can come up with, you've served the cause of woman about as poorly as it is possible to. Which makes you part of the problem, if you pause to think.


The modernity comment was solely regarding the sentence on transgender folks.

And that is a modern phenomenon. Not in terms of the existence of such folks, but of the familiarity of enough laypersons to raise the subject to the level of commonplace everyday conversation.


There are all kinds of benefits to having Trump as President


My son in an Ontario school - without textbooks and relying solely on the teacher to provide him with learning materials - has never had a science fair. He gets a one-day lecture on the scientific method before going on to do dreary dittos (not even in colour). We need kids to reason cause and effect for themselves and come up with hard data to confirm their hypotheses.

We also need more debate in social studies around issues that most teachers will never discuss - Islam and its violent prayers, for example. Abortion, the gay gene, the differences between the sexes, race and what it all means. The issue should always be about finding the hard data to support one's facts. The issue should be about good debating and not taking offence.


Right on Senator,  with exception to Lisa,  our republican leaders have no honor, just suppression of our freedoms and beliefs.   The day will come when these citizens realize who the real trash bags are,  How many times do we have to refight old battles.  Nobody will respect the US.   Let Trump pickup the dead infants lining the shores,  the guy is a monster right out of Dante's Inferno.


May I add that the only proper use of the word "mediums" is to indicate a group of people whose job it is to connect you with your dead friends and relatives.


The ceasefire you mention is only for southwest Syria,an area controlled by Assad, and only benefits Assad. It does not establish no-fly zones
or safe areas for refugees. Does not contribute to the fight against ISIS.


5. Americans deserve a government that realizes it's absolute primary duty is to protect it's citizens, not risk their safety in the name of Political Correctness.
6. Americans deserve an educational system that promotes honesty, knowledge, and debate, not one that believes it's sole purpose is to indoctrinate a leftist ideology.
7 Americans deserve to be able to speak their minds without fear of violent, hateful leftist anarchists raising hell.

The left is destroying this great nation, and it is doing so quite intentionally. Rational, honest folks know this.


I expected Tamura to respond but he didn't have to, since his buddy Art did.  It must be hard to be irrelevant. You're a vindictive little man, Arty. Laughable.


I wonder who's idea it was for Sullivan to have a town hall in Anchorage?  Nothing like seeing a buzzing wasp nest on the ground, and then deciding to step on the wasp nest.  Anchorage will always be a wasp nest for Sullivan.  You'd think he or his staff would have figured this out by now.


Hes bad now lay off the crack. Hes not a leader anymore, dud.


DOH!


Lower ground clearance makes me sad.  Because it is sad.


Yes, follow the money and find the beneficial owners of Eskom.


Your 'truth pudding' is full of excretement. Comparing the prohibition of alcohol to heroin. Really!!
I agree that Americans are growing dumber, but it is through the socialized indoctrination in our schools and the socially accepted liberal practices of mind altering drugs in use today. The smart people knowing what is right for America 'foisted Trump' onto the international scene. Accept reality.


I notice from your "disagree" face on my reply to you that I've embarrassed you for remarking there are many points on which we agree. Kind of burst your bubble, huh?

Perhaps it would be best to stop labelling people as you have in this post.  It may come back to haunt you.

😁


The blame for this mess sits at the feet of Obama and those before him.  Thank goodness for Donald Trump, someone with ability to see this for what it is, a real and looming threat to the existence of mankind should the lunatics in NK start a nuclear war.


Apparently, the response "baloney" is uncivil....but this untrue comment is considered so.
Let's try this response.
Nonsense.


looks like you are 0 for 2.


They did what they did on purpose to get arrested and thus manipulate public sentiment. They can protest on the sidewalk and not get arrested; but they always either trespass or block roads seeking being arrested so they can not only smear their target but slander the police.

And people eat it up.


DC:  Ya, you could write like Kesey too,  and all you have to do is USE.....LSD............


Wasn't that my point?


... and if you look at it just the right way it will look like a giant  middle finger being raised to the peace tower


...and may we keep our eyes on the road, just in case a tree jumps out in front of us.


He's 20, too young for a carry license.  21 is the legal requirement.


What is the danger to the whole world?

None, I guess, except to Ukraine and the thousands who do not want to live in a Russian controlled area...as well as people who want to observe treaties respecting borders, etc.

I presume you would tolerate a Putin incursion on say Ellesmere, or Baffin islands? After all who would it really matter to?


I'm afraid Yorky is frothing at the mouth again.   This article could have been summarized to "Libs still enraged, but now with different excuse.  Nobody knows what Mueller is going to investigate, but you can be sure it will be creative."


You're out now, snowflake.


There are only supposed to be something like 300 to 350,000 immigrants per year, across the whole country.  And in theory they are supposed to be selected fairly randomly from around the world, based on skills (including English/Franch), not $$$$$!  Even with the well-known bias towards TO and Vcvr, that should not mean "hundreds of thousands" per year.  BUT since Trudeau's mass visa, free entry started, you could be right that about 100k have been added to the normal, legal flow into the GTA and Vancouver.

It seems rather ironic that the writer (Jill Burke) abides by "Burke's Law No. 1", "Never take no for an answer".

This might be a good time to point out that Southey's column is opinion, not journalism. You know, like Hannity and O'Reilly .. except reality-based.

Well Trudeau and the Liberals, in the Parliament of Canada this week, endorsed that if Canadians criticize the irrational words of God as interpreted by an 8th century prophet then Canadians are phobics, racists and bigots. And condescending Canadians criticize Americans??what hypocrites


This is not an industrial area, this is just feet area from a drug free school zone and just across the street is a residential area.  They better throw the book at this business, if they already are violating the law, how can we trust they will not do it again in more serious ways.  I am so tired of people thinking that because it is only "minor" or a technicality it is ok to break the law or rules.


Alaskans are not all "cut out".  If you lived here you would get a dividend from the oil WE own that`s being sold.
We`re not "cut-out" Danno, you are.
We own it and derive a dividend from it.

Not all MBA degrees are created equal. For example, ones from top US schools such as Booth (U Chicago) or Wharton (U of Penn) should be significantly more valuable -- even on a cost-adjusted basis -- than ones from Rotman (U of T) and Ivey (Western) which, in turn, should be more valuable than ones from Sauder and Molson. As such, the cost-benefit analysis should be done with the right scope. One key consideration is that for schools in certain brackets, the value of the MBA has been more diluted vs. in others -- and the dilution isn't linear.


As for the French elections, Macron is a really good politician.  He did benefit from the chaotic nature of the elections, but part of being a good politician is being able to play the hand dealt you well and he did it brilliantly.  I like how he is able to present an establishment type platform in populist terms.  Plus he is very right that the current French system is protecting the "insiders" and that opening up the French economy and labor market will help the little guy (i.e. consumers and employees.)  The French economy is ridiculously restricted; even very liberal people in the US would probably wonder why the French far left is so upset.  The last Macron law was about stuff like Greyhound bus service, stores open on Sundays, OTC drugs in supermarkets, etc.  None of it was radical.


Maybe it's normal in America to load up on guns and ammo at the store like most people stocking up at Costco.  If it isn't, the retailer ignored their gut instinct that something was off about this purchase in favour of profit.   I can only hope that guilt weighs upon the seller like an anchor around their neck, till the day they die.


The projection that Trump is displaying is astonishing.  Equally astonishing are the people continuing to defend his behavior.  Fortunately it seems that the majority of the nation are seeing right through Trump.


How about the 4 years of surpluses that the republicans in the house created during Clinton? If you remember, we had the dot.com bubble bursting which caused a small recession in 2000, then we had 9/11, which had significant impact on the economy. Deficits went up, but after the tax cuts in 2002 and even after the war began in 2003, deficits went down beginning in 2004 until they bottomed out at 161 billion in FY 2007. Then after the democrats took control of the house in Jan. 2007, the deficit exploded to 458 billion in FY 2008. A 400 billion increase in the deficit due to democrats in the house in just one year. Of course they had help from Bush, who had trouble finding his veto authority.

You do realize, don't you, that by far the most persecuted religious group worldwide are Christians?  Google it if you like.  You also realize that anti-Semitism and acts against Jewish people outpaces those acts against Muslims, right?  Google that too.  I'm tired of posting the links.  You mention only one group, Islam, and mention this group as being the one most put upon:  it simply isn't true, and the facts do not back it up.  Prejudice and hate are on all sides.  Not just one group against another.

Trump's criticism of Obama and other past presidents is just another example of him not taking responsibility for the accuracy of whatever comes out of his mouth. He sincerely believes that he can/should repeat things that, "I don't know, somebody told me" without worrying about the truth. He's a pathetic leader, and his behavior sinks to new lows every day.


C'mon people, where's your sense of humor? Sign her up, let's see what she's got. She can't do too much damage. Cooler, smarter, heads will prevail (Staff won't let her) and eventually the shepherd's hook will be dispatched to remove her from the national stage. But oh my what a show it would be. I will add, don't waste too much energy getting tied up in knots over the incoming administration's cabinet choices, business dealings, and midnight hour tweets. This is an unusual administration and people should toss their assumptions about what makes sense or is appropriate. Appropriate, sensible, responsible, ethical, constitutional, etc...are being blasted apart by the tweet. Instead, focus your valuable energy on what  you can actually do to mitigate the damage to whatever it is you hold sacred and are concerned about. After all, there will be another election in 4 years.


So...what does the  confederate battle flag mean to you ??  maybe we can encourage them to fly it more often..

The majority of hard working taxpayers in Canada and the U.S. are, currently sandwiched between a mentally unhinged megalomaniac to the south and a silver spoon kid who happens to be an inexperienced blithering idiot on our home turf. To make matters worse, the kid comes to us after the Harper regime which kicked working class Canadians in the teeth to feed the top 5%. Sadly,there are no viable, experienced candidates on the horizon on either side of the border.


Many of the affected businesses treated the road side parking as if they owned the space - prohibiting parking in front of their space to anyone that wasn't a customer.
This is just going to replace who's signage says "No Parking" not free up any meaningful public parking space.


Let me refresh you on what SNAP stands for  - Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.  Do you know what the word 'Nutrition' means?  It's not some political word.  And you won't find a doctor or nutritionist who says that soda is nutritious.  Neither are Doritos or Lucky Charms.  Either you use the money for nutrition or you don't use it at all.  It's really not that complicated.

By definition, a rhetorical question already has a known answer.


L:OL@ Tom...The US didn't intervene in a Korean civil war, The north invaded the peaceful south.  The US had a little help over there, called the UN - hey if you open a book you might even find that Canada had troops in Korea too!

The NK and south Korean never signed a peace treaty, it is just one long cease fire. Your (lack of) knowledge of history is scary...


Depends on what one cherry-picks from that article.  I like the over-classification and 'derivative classification' but most especially:

"But then Obama’s lawyers penned a memo outlining why CIA agents could kill U.S. citizens affiliated with terrorist groups."  "When outsiders asked to see only the legal reasoning in the memos, officials claimed those were also necessary secrets. When pressed to explain why this memo did not abridge due process rights, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. famously argued that “due process and judicial process are not one and the same.”

That is the Alice in Wonderland argument "A word means just what I choose it to mean, nothing more nor less."

But the Attorney General of the US is not Humpty Dumpty and 'due process' as noted in the US Constitution is determined by the courts.  The 'judicial' branch.


Phony post, but plenty of dogs.


Can't afford to support your kids the usual way, Defiant, like by working?  Don't have 'em.

Dear Thomas:
Next  year I´ll be 50 years a priest.
You say:  "the priest is needed for the Eucharist, Confession and Anointing".
With all due respect and no wish to demean:
So the role of the priest is to be some sort of manager of a sacramental supermarket?
During all my years I have believed that it is much more than that and includes includes witness, prophecy.
... which has everything to do with "Do this in memory of Me".
The question: what exactly was it that he did that he wants us to remember, re-live & resurrect?
I believe the answer to that is in the doing and no so much in the saying (or even in the weekly
celebrating for an hour).


you are absolutely correct.  I keep wondering WHEN the MSM and the DNC is going to wake up and realize they are ALL  BOUGHT AND PAID FOR by Hillary and her criminal cronies.  And that NO ONE believes ANYTHING that they say.  In fact, every thinking citizen knows that WHATEVER they say, it is simply to COVER UP WORSE crimes.  Kenneth Starr has now ADMITTED to being paid off to distract us with "blowjobs" so we would not demand answers and prosecution of the Travel Office firings, Whitewater property development embezzlement and the Clintons Cocaine Traffic of Arkansas.


If I were God I'd do a lot of things differently, too.  As it is, we have only a few things to cling to, in this life, and one of those is that There is a God, and the other, He is in charge of His Church.  The handling of A.L. is atrocious on Francis' part.  Either Malta is correct and Philly wrong or vice versa.

It means the PM and his peerless Finance Minister haven't the honesty and fortitude to do what's right for Canada.  Instead they fashion a 'People Magazine' budget which is all fluff and no substance, and about as real as Kardashian's butt. Someone mentioned the word Innovation to Boy Wonder and that's the basis of his budget (his budget, no one else - remember, he's PM).  But not actual innovation. They've just used the word as often as a teenager might hoping to fool the teacher into believing she/he actually wrote the essay.  It was juvenile.  Just like Justin.


Perhaps instead of dumping them, these mega-projects could be put on a back burner for awhile until Alaska gets its fiscal act in order.  In my view, infrastructure money should be spent now on existing roads, bridges, harbors, etc. before funneling millions of $$ to future projects that may never pan out. I appreciate your explanation.


I beg to differ. Unless you have a sales type attitude, you are not very likely to be hired as a teller these days. A decade ago it was already changing.

There are numerous economic benefits of legalized cannabis. One of those benefits is the revenue it can generate to local and state governments through tax revenue. These bans won't make your community any safer. It will have a negative effect. You will be denying sick people compassionate care. Currently the federal government recognizes marijuana as a drug that is highly addictive and processes no medical benefit. Thats right, your government says that it knows what is best for you when it comes to marijuana. Does that make any sense in regards to the current landscape when it comes to marijuana? Does marijuana deserve to be in the same category as Heroin, LSD, and Ecstasy? Marijuana is non-toxic and you can’t overdose on it. Alcohol, if consumed irresponsibly, can kill you. Thousands of people each year kill themselves either through overdose or chronic use by drinking alcohol, beer included. States that have regulated legal cannabis have less opioid addiction and overdose.


Actually, when you think of all the many ways to die, that really doesn't sound so bad. Instant and probably fairly painless.


Distributed wells would be more vulnerable to a quake and would take considerable annual costs to maintain potable water.  Although there would be damage to transmission and distribution lines, labor and material resources should be focused on pipeline restoration to provide water for firefighting and sanitation.   Working with SUB or building a plant on the Willamette will still require transmission and distribution pipelines.   There are many other options for bringing in drinking water.   If you haven't planned ahead for a few days, check with your neighbor.   Here is a link to a similar situation in Chile.  http://www.geengineeringsystems.com/ewExternalFiles/Chile%20Water.pdf


From what I remember, Obama has called himself a Christian but he never affiliated himself with any particular denomination or church. Rarely, did he attend church, just like Reagan. Secretary Clinton proudly called herself a Methodist and attended either a Baptist or Methodist church with her husband and did so regularly. Trump attends services every week, and has proudly called himself a Presbyterian. He has often referred to himself as such.


now xbt is down to fleas & elephants...sounds like a stretch to me


Where is that principle listed in the Constitution, exactly?

As opposed to the EC, which has been around since the beginning.

Personally, I'll take the 'principle' which is actually printed in the Constitution over one which is made-up.


> Electoral systems that hand complete power to a minority voting bloc are dangerous.

Indeed, as evidenced by this increasingly fascist Liberal government.

Only Liberal values are Canadian values.


Great another article with unnamed sources, probably a couple of guys with trench coats hitting up the Washington Post editors with I got something secretive for you about Trump that I heard from a friend of a friend of a friend who knows this guy who is a Republican.


Ah, I am going to take my Sawzall and my Plasma Cutter this winter either by snowmachine or 4 Wheeler this winter and cut that thing into pieces.
Enough of this pilgrimage crap!


Don't forget Trump stiffs his employees and always declares bankruptcy to get out of paying his contractors.  What a guy.


Harper was vilified by the Liberals and NDP for his health care transfer formula. He was characterized as  akin the prince of darkness for maintaining transfers at 6% to 2016, thereafter to be tied to GDP growth.  Fast forward to present day and Trudeau, who campaigned on a platform of more, more, more of everything for everyone, is now sort of Harper-in-Liberal-clothing.

You see my friends, Harper had it right along, even Trudeau knows that. The difference is that Trudeau campaigned on "being different". Harper simply told the truth.


Fred Meyer's employees are the worst. I always overhear them talking about the customers. Usually making fun of the disabled. The management needs a remodel.


Wait until cap and trade kicks in. The cheese business is already paying more per kilowatt hour than I am paying in California, where the full effects of cap and trade are already in effect. Of course, there is no HST in California and my town does not levy a utility users charge (like a sales tax) on electricity. Somewhere in the calculations, the lower value of the C$ needs to be considered. When Ontario imports electricity from the US, it needs to pay for it in US$.

Sometimes voters do not make the right choices.


My friends told the truth. They took a plea to avoid going to trial without dash camera video.
In the trial of their roommate, the police lied. I was at the trial and heard the audio part of the dash recording, which contradicted the cops' testimony. The fact that neither the prosecutor, the judge, or even the defense attorney called his account into question was unnerving, to say the least. The defendant in that trial also took a plea after seeing that the cops' lies were going to be believed. (He was able to do that because it came out in the trial that EPD  was withholding evidence in the case.)
At least using a DA from another county in the Lara case avoided a conflict of interest with the Lane County DA who works hand in hand with EPD. And I am saying that there SHOULD be an independent prosecutor to handle police crimes. Now that the GOP is in charge of the U.S. Dept. of Justice, it will be less likely that police departments will be investigated for criminal behavior.


As a Chinese, I have no problem in China's effort to lobby Canadian officials for the Chinese advantage, I think US just does the same thing and American here won't be against it, and American lobby efforts are not all for Canadian interest, like oil/gas pipeline, software lumber, etc. So, spineless Canadian, you can't just complain about Chinese.

These efforts are much better than, like sneaking into PM home door and hand over a cash stuffed envelop - those activities are something you need to watch for.


Maybe it is a practice that has worn out its relevancy to graduating classes and has more to do with the speaker gather prestige and a higher fee on the lecture circuit. It doesn't mean what it once did. And seems to serve the speaker more than anyone else.

Well, I like the idea of more exposure for the Nobel Peace Prize, but the question is loaded. If people name 5 generals, it is because they were famous for being generals. I bet people know 5 American Peace Prize winners, but they were famous for more than just winning the Nobel Prize:
Barack H. Obama, Peace, 2009
Al Gore, Peace, 2007
Jimmy Carter, Peace, 2002
Henry Kissinger, Peace, 1973
Woodrow Wilson, Peace, 1919
Theodore Roosevelt, Peace, 1906

I think most people would know the 5 Presidents. Most people would be surprised (and maybe dismayed) that Kissinger got the peace prize (some feel the same way about Obama). Everyone would know Martin Luther King, some Elie Wiesel. Beyond that, yes, people don't know the dozen others very well.


The same can be said in the political realm, whether people vote or not, in the growth of the nons or nones or independents. People don't want to commit to any group or idea as much as they once did. I think that people know that the error or scandal or wrong-headedness of any group or idea can be shown publicly--whether true or even important--and just don't have the same skin to stand up to the pressure of looking bad. There seems a general tendency to want to swim in the ocean of undecidedness and temporariness. Maturity helps.


Yawn. Using your contorted logic, I'll have that hit only if it includes you. Perfect timing for your afternoon nap. Good riddance.

You might want to learn something about history.  Hitler was a Christian.  And the Nazi's pushed Christian doctrines into the schools as well as their laws.  Hitler was NEVER excommunicated nor condemned by his church.  Matter of fact the Church felt he was JUST and “avenging for God” in attacking the Jews for they deemed the Semites the killers of Jesus.

Many people will try to sway the opinions of others by telling a story in a way that minimizes one's own responsibility.  The author (not a reporter as this is dripping with bias), wants the reader to believe that she could not be both telling the truth AND spinning her role to minimize it.  That doesn't mean that what she has said about the events that took place is false.  To the author - it you don't believe it go do real journalism and prove that her representation is somehow false.  Nothing said by Brazile is either hard to believe or out of character for the people  involved.  So what exactly is false about the Donna Brazile story?


Prior tax credits were actually tied directly to specific exploration ACTIVITY.  The current credits are more akin to federal "no-grow" farm subsidies whereby large corporations with marginal farming interest would reap government subsidies for doing nothing ... Sound familiar??

Ridiculous victim culture rhetoric is all this article is. And how does it help?

The "root cause" of overdose is far too many extremely powerful drugs on the street illegally, (federal jurisdiction)

The root cause of addiction is genetic, yes more common in some cultural communities (luck of the draw), and physicians getting people hooked on opiates courtesy of Big Pharma legally, (provincial jurisdiction).

Ultimately, if addiction runs in the family, stay away from alcohol, narcotic drugs and even cigarettes because it won't end well. And the federal and governments need to massively crack down on illegal street drugs and legal opiate prescriptions.

I'd love to see some helpful reports and suggestions from civic and health authorities.


I feel somewhat bad for you, I have a wonderful life and nothing consumes any one part. I am however broadly knowledgeable or will strive to be on the subject before opening my mouth. I see well trained experts on the news day in and day out, I'm not impressed and find it sad we can't have better than that. Here's an exercise for you; why did the US army go to a short barrel , 12-14" for use in urban combat? Why do you think the Israeli's use  use Uzi's? Hint, close quarters!

I don't necessarily have a problem with this editorial, however unsubstantiated some of the claims are.  It shines the light on how far askew our politicians have come (most of them).  They no longer serve the people who vote for them and will do most anything to get elected.  I think, however, we need to let the Mueller investigation run its full course and we can perhaps look back at this from an historical perspective. Maybe we will be able to know the truth and form a better opinion.

Just because the Clinton's may have done some nefarious things and were almost ensnared by Putin's spies (allegedly) does not absolve the sitting president from his and his administration's alleged culpability.

In the end it appears that Putin has achieved his goal of causing mis-trust in our political system and creating a huge rift between the left and right.


I worry that people will get the wrong impression about Canadian universities from columns like this.  Certainly there are some persons (a few students as in every generation) with an unearned sense of moral superiority who want to impose extreme views on others.  But readers should be careful about overgeneralizing.

It's a bit like making big claims about soccer after reading a few stories about hooligans.  The hooligans haven't really taken over, though they might be more common in some neighborhoods than others.  I've attended many meetings of Arts and Humanities faculty and I often come away impressed by the level of thoughtful debate, so unlike the slogans, one-sided exaggeration and abuse in many Globe comments.


I think what these typical liberals (Butts) are naïve about is that they are over compensating for a 'cushy' job given to one of their friends, while many others more deserving of money from the govt. are getting squeezed. Just another reason NOT to vote liberal in the next election. Lets continue to raise taxes, hit the middle class hard, and make sure all you liberals in govt. get good pensions!

Talks?  It hasn't been talks.  It's been bullying.  GW tried it.  Obama tried it 6 times.  Now suddenly Trump's bullying is going to work?  I don't think so...
