I'm sure Hawaiian can put Southwest out of business but the Southwest/Alaska combination may be too much to handle.


States don't grow economies, cities grow economy.
Cities that invest in their residents will encourage economic diversity and less reliance on government spending.
Look at what state legislatures in the sw and se are doing to kill econimic diversity by passing draconian social laws that discriminate against classes of tax paying citizens. Private sector businesses are threatening to pull out and/or reduce investment. Government money and religious conservatism stifles creativity and economic diversity. Less government is better for the economy.


What makes Magnitsky so special? Countless thousands of people around the world have been tortured and have died under suspicious circumstances throughout history but no country considered their deaths worthy enough to apply sanctions against offending governments and /or their officials. One must wonder what are the real motivations of those who are promoting a Canadian version of the Magnitsky Act.

Because of the "anonymous" part, it's very difficult to get accurate statistics for AA. The numbers that are available indicate that it does not have a very high success rate.


YES CANADA IS BACK!!

The national embarrassment is Trudope, spend, spend spend

. " the budget will balances it self"

Just in one year little potato has taken more vacations than HARPER did in 10 years!!!

We are talking about a man who has a home on Harrington lake, each trip is cost the tax payers a minimum of $49 thousand dollars, RCMP, FLIGHT CREW, HOTELS etc.

YES 10 IN THE LAST YEAR!!!

According to the CBC Trudope was reimbursed for 9 vacations prior to the Bahamas fiasco. This man is simple not invested into his job. I got seven to memory:

Saint Kits

Whistler

Fogo island

Fino BC

Carnival Quebec

Japan Anniversary- extra day

New York- extra day

Bahamas

Junior is putting Obama to shame, yes the middle class - what joke

Harper we miss you!!!


The only people "wringing hands" over a shutdown are:   Recipients of .gov largesse and the artificial, unaccountable, FALSE  ECONOMY  it created.


They are talking points. She named no facts. Can you? Just one, please try. Referencing someone's letter is not a fact. Referencing "his record" on civil rights is not a fact. The appropriate thing to reference is his record on following the law as written. Just 4 years ago Clinton, Obama, Biden, et al opposed gay marriage. That's a fact jack.


So 'integrity' make s a Liberal a "nut job".
Thanks for the view from the PMO!
By the way, Sheila Copps resigned her seat because of the broken promise tho she did regain it in the by-election.

Young Kimmy is giving us the middle finger.  What will Trumpy do now?  Sad, but I think we're heading into a major, major (Trump's words) conflict.  On the bright side,  the world is overpopulated now and this may be the way of solving the problem.


The companies will not invest in Walkers pipe dream.     After so many years of the "studies"  doesn't he think that THEY might be the experts on whether it's going to pay off or not?   Walker is a loon and he's trying to strongarm the companies when  he has nothing to back it up

It's not the DP's fault that some of its readers remain ignorant of a widely recognized journalistic and political convention for designating party membership. See here, for example:

Self-defense and capital punishment are two different -- though related -- issues. You are correct that the Church acknowledges the right of the state to use whatever means are needed to protect society from dangerous people, but the Church also reiterates in the strongest terms that if less than lethal means are available they must be used.

In any event, we are pretty much on the same page. Peace.


Over 60 percent of the citizens polled believe immigration levels are too high. The leader of the country said that people who object to a government policy that is hurting citizens of all nationalities and races are bigots is straight up fascist.

Objecting to policy of high immigration levels...which only benefits business and banks while citizens' standard of living declines, including environmental levies because increasing population means environmental degradation in a weather extremes country, where jobs and wages are in decline and human rights erode in the face of competition, where race riots become normal because high immigration levels lower integration and creates ethnic enclaves and resentment instead of cohesive society with common norms and values...is every citizen's right in a democracy.

Taxpayers SHOULD express concern about migrants who start getting welfare the moment they arrive and can start working once processed.


When it comes to the macro side of life, many (most) disciplines are better managed with the long-term in mind.


That was perhaps the most hackneyed vomit, to say NOTHING of politically ignorant pap that I have read today. The ONLY way that the "billionaires and CEO's" can create monopolies and manipulate the market is through the use of governmental power. In a TRUE free market that operates without the corrupting influence of government, companies like Google and Microsoft would have been challenged by rivals that would possibly been able to wrench market share from these two behemoths before they became the "monopolies" that you decry. However, both companies paid for, and used, governmental power to crush their enemies in court, resulting in what you have today. Wake up,  you desperately need to educate yourself and stop listening to retread communists and socialists. Oh, and stop smoking crack.


Asif, this is way, way, way, way worse than the Broederbond. This is grand theft for the sole benefit of a criminal cartel.

Hillary was the owner the "russian reset button" fiasco, and the deal she approved for the sale of US uranium to russia worked very well for some Clinton Foundation donors.


Go away, Weld.  Just take your toxic wastelands out of CO.  But remember: our liberal dollars won't be around to bail you out of the next flood.


Bill, spend your money but please don't stay?


The Clinton machine has been extremely consistent the past 20 years with one fiasco after another. When Clinton is defeated in November.....I hope that they will fade away into the voluminous pages of historical scandals.


An independent panel of experienced lawyers, I would hope.


Fronting for that wingnut 'think tank' called Alaska Policy Forum, you dispense what you claim is the expert assessment about all manner of Alaska budgetary concerns.

 You claim you're the expert on Alaska budgetary policy.

To quote you:   You're the "primary resource for credible authoritative Alaska policy research".

One might assume that one who claims to be an expert would have the ability to read and comprehend the numbers in a budget.

Here you're saying you don't know how to find the answer to your question?

You want the 'author' to provide it for you?

What 'author' provides you with your 'answers' you dispense from your 'think tank'?

I guess it's true, …Koch feeds you all your lines.

Without Koch 'authoring' your lines, you've got to ask others to answer questions about the budget.

Maybe you shouldn't be claiming to be an expert at policy research.


I liked Wally Hickel as Governor - tho moderate Republican Arliss Sturgelewski would have been more effective , But Hickle's appointments were far too often walking disasters !! John Lindauer , "Trapper Don" something-or-other as head of appointments, and Boyko as AG for example... Always has seemed a smug, ego-inflated nasty little man  ....   I did know Judge Carlson from his time in Juneau.. Always seemed quietly bright and always  a gentleman,,,


This article is full of inaccuracies so glaring that a Pakled could refute them.


Oh yeah, thanks for the reminder.  There's just so many it's hard to keep track of.  Just imagining her being President gives me the shakes.


One in twelve vehicles sold last year in Canada was an F series truck.  Nobody wants the overpriced electrobuggy econocoffins.


“The left never had any freedom of speech in the first place.”

What universe are you living in Hannah?  Or rather in what decade?  Where does the Constitution limit speech by political ideology?

Your comment and your tone just screams of the groundswell of millennial entitlement and delussion.


Was that a typing error where you used the term "Mericans"?

Or were you meaning intentionally to use a version of a word that has been described as follows?

Muricans
Noun. A rude way of saying "Americans" projecting a sense of dislike towards the country and its inhabitants, a pejorative, stereotyping term aimed to paint the American people as a bunch of redneck hillbillies.


That's not natural law. You apparently haven't fully studies this stuff. And it was you who cited "immigration law" being based on "jus sanguinis." That literally makes no sense. Can you not see this? You literally are saying that foreign born people's immigration is based on the blood of their parents. That's plainly absurd.


This is very funny! But ouch, there are those of us who have gone without since the excise tax kicked in courtesy of the mayor. Yes, the rail project would be laughable if it weren't so painful.


Or give up a few of those extra "services" they "have" to have - the 2nd car, the extra TVs, cable services, wireless services, etc.


Is this where, "two wrongs don't make a right," comes in?


OT:  ". If he starts behaving like a mature, honest, thoughtful person who stops lashing out at anyone who criticizes him, and who puts the best interest of the country and all its people ahead of a narrow, ego gratifying agenda - that's all I ask."   I fear you're asking for far too much.  You're asking Donald Trump to totally change his values, his morals and the persona he's developed over 71 years.  ....think of Popeye...."I yam what I yam."  That's the Donald....past, present, and barring a genuine miracle, future. Gary crum


Do you have GBA muted? That is what the display looks like when someone is muted.

I have Don muted but sometimes I just have to read his blather.. it's compelling, like the urge to pick at a scab.


And this is attributable to Mr. Trudeau? I guess it has nothing to do with a pick up in growth in the U.S. and the European economy or stronger than anticipated growth in the Chinese economy. The fact is Canada's economy has been basically outperforming the G7 for most of the last decade. I wouldn't give Harper any more credit than I would give Trudeau. The chief government policy that can hurt the Canadian economy is growing debt, particularly if interests continue to increase.


It would have serious repercussions alright, for both the US and China. Why China won't cooperate on reigning in Kim is baffling.


Can she not be dismissed for incompetence and doing damage - through stupid recommendations on the economic front which has harmed the very public she is supposed to protect?  She is just trying to get money for government coffers so that the looting can continue.

War is hell. Let russia and syria finish off the terrorists with the fewest civilian casualties possible. Prolonging the inevitable will merely significantly increase the destruction and harm to innocent civilians. But the al-queda, isis and other fundamentalist terrorists in Allepo and other parts of Syria must be beaten for world peace and stability. Assad is by far the lesser of two evils. Syria was a secular modern society under the baathists.


Robben Island won't be big enough, to hold all these f.....g.  scoundrels,  who have not only betrayed their own faithful people, but also, our entire country.  The mess they have created will take many, many years, to  sort.  They shouldn't be voted out.  They should be shoved, out.


I may cost a little bit but there are untrasonic solar powered stakes that could be put down to scare them away from public trails during spring-fall. Just a thought. It shouldn't be mandatory on private property by passing oppressive bills and creating more burden for property owners but it is a good idea if you want your yard to be snake free. Alot of people like snakes and simply learn to live with them so it's not fair to force people to comply.


It seems to me that if you ask a kindergartner , 'If you accidentally hit someone with your car should you pull them off your car and leave them by the road or help the person?' the kids would say 'Help them.'
There's just no excuse.  Someone who's drunk could even come up with the correct answer.
Maybe he felt like it was all a video game and the victim would just get up and continue on.


Gardener is ONLY for Gardener.

Not a good time for this type of game. Buds simply didn't move their feet or work effectively. Bolts,  on the other  hand took Buds time and space with the puck away so that they couldn't muster much, all night. Gotta play better than this down the home stretch, to be truly successful.


Imagine the outrage if it was Christian families after Sunday service having their lives threatened.

"She . . . said she could never join a church that discriminates against women."

It is unfortunate that this error continues to be perpetuated, both in and out of the SDA Church.  To equate role difference with discrimination is disingenuous, at least the way the term "discrimination" is used.  Discrimination is not always bad.  We all discriminate in one way or another.  We evaluate our kids' friends, sometimes forbidding them to associate with those who exert a bad influence.  We discriminate by evaluating our friends of the opposite sex, and eventually choose one for a spouse.  In the US, we discriminate by not allowing anyone who was not born here to become president.

Even the Godhead has role distinctions.  But these differences in roles have nothing to do with inferiority, ability, or any other negative aspect.  As long as we phrase it as "discrimination," we can't even have a meaningful discussion.


I'm not defending DUI and actually think enforcement should be stricter, but police presence is so limited in this State that unless you're driving so erratically that somebody reports you or you're driving home after bar-closing time, you're not likely to encounter the police.   Juneau is an exception since almost all the bars are in town, most people live in the Valley or on Douglas, and everybody gets off at 4:30, so if you're driving any other time, you're meat.   And unless it has changed since I left in '10, you are a lot more likely to see the police in Juneau than you are here in Anchorage.   'Course it may be that they concentrate on patrolling certain areas whereas Juneau was much more homogenous than ANC.

I just think an ankle monitor and an ignition interlock is an effective deterrent to DUI that gives the offender some chance at employment, and I really don't like the racket that has sprung up around DUI processes.


I think that the real issue here is the photo at the top of the page. It states that the bishop is venerating a relic. this is just theological double speak. What is he actually doing? He's praying to a dead body.


Heidi, your comment that, "Another woman's child calls me mom." doesn't go far enough.  You aren't just called mom.  You are his mom.

Being a parent is at most tangentially about biology.  Conception takes only a moment, after all.  Parenting takes a lifetime.  In the end, it is the lifetime relationship of parent and child that really matters.  That relationship overwhelms any biological relationship.

For me, what it means to be an adoptive parent was best expressed by the author and journalist Jim Bishop.  "I have four children, two of them adopted. I forget which two."


The Alleva family has suffered because of the "homeless".  These people come in and trashed the area. They fight with each other they harass folks passing by, they frighten most people. This is because the majority of them are outlaws. I served on a grand jury a couple years ago and I would guess 75% of the cases we heard over the course of our four month term were somehow tied to beans cafe or the Francis shelter. If we have that many criminal cases tied to these two places there is a problem. And here is one more perspective, most of the outlaws living in tents or under tarps are probably banned from the shelter because they can't follow the shelter rules. (Do you see a pattern here, outlaws who can't follow rules.)

Quit cuddling these people and make them earn their keep. All you who hand money out your window at the stop light are just feeding their addiction. It may make you feel warm and fuzzy but it makes the outlaws on the corner feel drunk or high.

Clean up our streets!


Raymond Justice


Interesting. There is no father in the childrens' picture here. Very telling.


This is easy. Just force all pro-life voters to adopt them.

They seem to be fine with forcing the responsibilities of being a parent on others, so they should be cool with it.


Jim, again you fail miserably at reading comprehension. This is cut from the very site that you wave as some sort of magic wand:

Third, severance taxes also pose another problem in that they are generally considered by economist to be fully passed onto the consumer in the form of higher prices. As a result, much of the severance tax burden is actually “exported” to the other 49 states. The tax burden analysis published by the Tax Foundation adjusts for this impact and ranks Alaska as the lowest in the country with a tax burden of 7 percent. - See more at: http://www.keypolicydata.com/blog-archives/2015/01/severance-taxes-fuel-alaskas-highest-nation-tax-burden-2013/#sthash.As1HM6EG.dpuf

I know, Pence;
but the American people -- or at least a near-plurality of them -- didn't vote for Barebones Feargod;
most of them find small-smiling Mother-wived Bible creeps like him as repulsive as you do;
if they didn't, they'd have nominated Ted Cruz.
No, they voted for something juicier, the Smart Bidnessman from The TV Whut Hates P'lit'cal Keereckniss an' Sticks It To Messicans.
The idea was that he'd be the fun WWF heel
-- you know, just like David French's American Hero was back in his wrestling days
- and after four years of hammerlocks and heart punches all the white people would have good jobs again, hurrah!


Why? because we are still figuring out a way to pay for the freaking choo-choo to nowhere.


And being married is unforgivable.


"We will conquer your Rome, break your crosses, and enslave your women," ISIS proclaimed in its declaration of war against the Catholic Church in 2014.

I guess Trump wasn't kidding.


Gotta love those dirt track races. There is something about down home racing that pulls at the heart strings. The dreams, the losses, the power, the underdog,  the loves, the vices..............it's all there.  It's average Joe stuff, and it can be dirty, and smelly, but it's a metaphor for America......  and our desire to be a part of something bigger than ourselves.


The majority of scientist once believed in alchemy, most believed in the Piltdown Man fraud for four decades. When J. Harlan Bretz first suggested that the scablands of Eastern Washington State were created by a massive flood the narrow minded scientific community accused him of being a zealot peddling a flood legend. Bretz was actually not making any theological argument.

The notion that scientists aren’t as susceptible to financial self interests, prejudices, biases and mass grouptink as other professions, is utter nonsense.

Paul Hoobyar notes the hypocrisy of many of those who attacked President Clinton for his infidelity and attempts to deny such action.  Certainly President Clinton's actions were immoral and tacky.  However, if all immoral and tacky players on the Washington stage were "sent packing" the city would be a ghost town.  Those who attacked him, did so, not out of moral outrage, but out of political expediency........those attacks were an effort to destroy his presidential effectiveness.......and, yes, they worked pretty well.

Attacks on Ms Clinton have little to do with concerns over "national security" and everything to do with attempting to destroy her credibility as a Presidential candidate.  We'll see how effective those attacks are as the Presidential campaign progresses.  If Ms Clinton and Mr. Trump are the candidates, the 2016 election is guaranteed to be the nastiest campaign in our history.


Dozens of civilians killed in US-led airstrike on Isis stronghold in Syria


Is a restaurant review a "news" story? It's not on the Opinion page.

The headline itself calls the piece "analysis". How is that confusing? It is analysis, not news. Those are two completely different things. It's not the DP's fault when their detractors don't even know what words mean.

Keep getting that "news" from Mark Furhman, Sean Hannity, Alex Jones, and Ann Coulter. LOL.


Yes, a good point. So far only a rambling Greek bishop, a couple of 'new' Cardinals and Msgr Pio Pinto obviously hoping for a red hat of his own have criticised the four Cardinals.


The guy's a damn cop, so what do you expect?


Wow!
The bigotry of Butts' PMO minions defines the hypocrisy of the Liberals!


I would suggest that the drunk pilot is the culprit. Blaming outside/inside agencies gets you in the paper but in fact is total hogwash!


It does seem in the last few years that more and more women are involved in the more violent types of criminal conduct.  In the 'olden days' violence by women seemed to be mostly in reaction to wife beating type scenarios.

Now, no one is surprised by armed robberies, beatings, knifings, and this sort of conduct by women.

They are being convicted of sex abuse regarding minors as well.  Their punishment is almost always less, but the convictions are increasing.


Haaaa ha haaaa ha oh my - What a classic post!!!!


So...not only do you;
1) call yourself "Stress Free Investing"
2 (apparently) keep a record of all my past comments......
3) you keep lists of "famous quotes" that support all your opinions.

Is that what you hand out to the boys in your scout troop?

"Right to Work" is a Trade Union issue vs a Trade issue. It shouldn't even be discussed.

The focus needs to be on leveling the playing field with fair wages, safe working conditions, and environmental protections. That is what benefits Canada.

Quit mollycoddling the self-absorbed special interest groups and start negotiating for a strong base that everyone (workers and businesses)  can build from and prosper.


I forgot to say, "You make some good points." Ideally, your "brave new world" would be a better place. I admit, the picture I have drawn is much more gloomy.  I think we already have more "shadow government" than is good for our nation, starting with the "military-industrial complex" (Ike added "-congressional") that Eisenhower warned us about.


Ian Tracy remains a very compelling presence. He absolutely killed it in Da Vinci’s Inquest.


To be subject to the injustices of the world is part of the human condition. Nobody knew that better than Jesus, and his followers must accept it as part of the cross they are asked to take up.

But the Church should never particulate in that injustice. Never. We should be fiercely devoted to the truth, however painful and whatever the consequences. That's why those in positions of responsibility should recuse themselves from situations where they might be tempted to act out of self-interest or misguided bias.

Imperfect as it is, the best place for Cardinal Pell's case is in the courts. All we can do is pray for him, for the victims of child abuse and for the wisdom and integrity of those charged with rendering justice.


This is different this time.
They know better than to pull that one.

There would be revolution.


You first.  You want the guns.  People like you always look to others to solve a problem.


What is most important is that he be independent and loyal nott o Trump or any president but loyal to the Constitution.  Trump is a disgrace and a disaster.  He needs to go back to his phony TV show.


Did you even bother to listen to it or were you triggered?


Easy to criticize when your the ex PM.  As for gender, climate change and aboriginal issues every good negotiator has throw away agenda items they are willing to give up to get the things they want.


Remember those three things, LIFE,Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness ?

Yeah , health care IS a God given Right.


It is based on science and it is a fact. There is no god.


She must have anger issues over Trump leaving her.


my huge hope would be that springfield would grab the people of eugene by our collective lapels and slap sense into our "deciders" and that votes from a more conservative, stable community would balance eugene and balance the crazy - i think property values are more in eugene...generaly speaking.
  diverse voting is good -  polarized politics is not. to get ideas out there and talked about...  i think the more input, the better.


Yes snickering for the childish Liberals who probably also get off on jokes about flatulence.


Oddsmakers in Europe are betting now that he lasts less than 4 years.  The best bet is impeachment.


Aye, but that seems to organize threads by the age of the original post, not the subsequent ones.  Case in point, you posted your reply in this thread 4 minutes ago, but it is still listed based on Andree McLeod's original post.


Good idea. I'll try to find out.


Oh, I agree that "CJ will get 20-40 yards when the line gives him a big hole" and that's the main problem, the OL isn't making those big holes.

That said, on the majority of 3rd or 4th and short, when the play call is to run it, CJ has been the chosen RB to attempt it. Unfortunately, he has failed way more than succeeded at gaining the neccessary yardage to convert... and yes, the OL has a lot to do with it. I too hope they correct (or have corrected) the problem, it is a big problem.


So?  That's your option to get your own proof and present it.  Why haven't you?

FAKE NEWS !


Just grow some balls and protect what's your white trash Valley residents.  Take off your belt and discipline your children when they don't listen. Take away their lifted Chevy pickups you bought them on their 16th birthdays. I swear you millennial parents are the saddest things I've ever seen.


I concur


What truth, Mr./Mrs. Cryptic? The asserted truth of my comment? I'm confident that my kindergartner grandchild would out-test you in a college criminology course.


When Rob Ford became mayor of Toronto and then predictably exploded into controversy and incompetence,  it was an anomaly. Equal parts sad and funny, but a relatively inconsequential anomaly. Then he ran again, and was doing well in the race when he pulled out due to illness. It left a queasy feeling in your gut to realize that so many people would vote Ford again after his disastrous first term.

Now we look ahead to president Donald Trump. It turns out that electing wildly unsuitable rich populists isn't an anomaly, and this time it's anything but inconsequential. Mr. Trump is a raging, textbook narcissist. He really believes he is incredibly intelligent and well informed. When he forms an opinion, he knows in his bones that it's brilliant. So this man, his self-confidence completely unmoored from reality, oblivious to how little he knows and profoundly incurious, will be given the nuclear codes and take control of the world's most powerful nation. What were his supporters thinking?


Russia states that they were having communications with Trump's campaign before the election.  If true, this is the #1 reason to reject Trump.

But really, he's almost certain to be inaugurated.  But because he's so undisciplined and dishonest, it would be a miracle for him to make it through the next 4 years without being impeached.  The only way that can happen is with an invertebrate congress, which it appears that we may have, including our own reps.


Yes indeed.....growing up in the sixties until early 70's then to university was indeed one of reasonable ease and predictability....especially what seemed less complicated. That ended, or so it seemed, with the ability to watch atrocities committed by the US in Vietnam while consuming dessert in front of the television. It sort of ruined my appetite from then on.......


I agree with your observation that Charlottesville was a "state sponsored riot" clearly facilitated by the Mayor, Police, Civic leaders, and Gov. McAwful. Their agenda was nakedly clear. To foment open violence and begin the non-stop race-baiting of the GOP. We witnessed the fact that despite hundreds, literally hundreds, of public felony assaults, virtually no one was arrested.  The DNC continues "The Resistance" to mobilize violence and to stop Free Speech. We saw the DNC playbook at Trump's Chicago rally in 2016, the Inauguration, in Berkeley, in Charlottesville, etc.

Yet the most effective methods to counter extreme messages like the KKK, etc. is to not attend their rallies. When they march in empty streets, to bellow taunts to no one, to rage against the air, and to lash out at nothing, it quickly eviscerates their "juice". Tragically, many groups I don't agree with have an absolute Free Speech right. It's why we have American Democracy. A fact the Left continues to debase.


That is true. And I voted for Bill and met Hillary during his stump for re-election here in 1996. But you see no similarity to the Democrat witch hunt of Trump on every platform available to them? Your previous comment about why Hillary lost was simply another tone-deaf temper tantrum that doubles down on the mistake Hillary and Democrats made before the election You cannot promise to punish success to give to failure as policy and then vilify those who you intend to punish and win elections. Hillary's history, behavior, and platform- along with the sneering of her followers- were the reasons for her stunning and well deserved defeat. Regardless of what President Trump does or does not do, did or did not do, that attitude will keep people in his corner who are educated and successful as well as those who are not educated but who work hard for what they have and who are sick and tired of being told they are beneath contempt by people who gain from creating problems, not solving them.


Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York, who grew close to Ryan when he was archbishop of Milwaukee, called him a "great public servant" with an "obvious solicitude for the poor."

Tim Dolan is absolutely shameless.


World resort cities really do not need a lot of gas stations. They are not real cities. They are more like a cross between Disneyland and a cruise ship.

As long as there are good roads for the short trip to the airport, with its flights to Hong Kong and Beijing and Shanghai and Chongqing, and as long as there are gas stations near the airport to fuel the high end cars jotting to the airport from Kerrisdale and Shaugnessey and Dunbar, that is all that the world resort city needs, that is all its millionaires need who work overseas.

No need for hardware stores or books stores or corner stores. And the service workers who dash in and out of the world resort city (teachers, nurses, etc), they can buy their gas and goods thirty miles away, where they live, in the service enclaves of Surrey and Port Coquitlam.

They key thing to understand here is that world resort cities are not real cities, in the culturally traditional sense of Canadian cities.


no one can, people have rights to live on streets and some always will


Everybody wants a handout.......pathetic


NP>  The biggliest - to infinity and the end of time - absolute mostest ridiculous in the history of ridiculous.  Ever.  Believe me.


I'd blame the RCMP for not investigating this guy more thoroughly in 2015 and building a deportation case but the reality is the Liberals would have just kept him around anyway. Officers probably throw their arms up in frustration and move onto something else where they might be able to get something accomplished.


Really?  I can open the front door of your house, stroll through your living room admiring your collection of liberal party coffee mugs,  and then just leave.  No problem.

No laws broken according to Alceste.

Riiiiiiiiight.

More proof of that two tiered system of justice liberals believe in.  Laws just don't apply to them!

Lol!!!


Just imagine someone claiming a loss after selling half of the fish they bought. How does one lose with a 6000 percent profit?


Don't waste time reading the article "A source says somebody somewhere did something illegal and they might tell us on Monday or Tuesday, if they can find that somebody."

Seriously, is there no real news?


President Trump would do well taking the advice of Rush Limbaugh:

When a caller (or other complainant) is determined to vent and make a total fool of him(her)self, shut up, get out of the way  and let him/her do it. It makes the host look good, which is the whole idea.

Have a Nice Day and to Hell with the ankle-biters.


She's been fairly quiet, in fact. But she has every reason to speak out now: the U.S. president's behavior has been dreadful.


The US and China have both already ratified Paris

And the EU just approved it and will officially ratify on Sun Oct 2


He's the white Obama..same rhetoric...same attitudes..same everything. Not him..please not him! He will ruin Colorado even worse than Hickenlooper.


Where is he ranked amongst quarterbacks?   I think the Titans will improve each season and be contenders.  Atta way to go Marcus!  Hawaii loves you!


Oh, c'mon Allen.  Housing bubble?  OK.  Immigration bubble?  Nope.  Not even a refugee bubble, although because there's so much border-jumping action within the a few months, that's the perception.  But overall?  Nah.  Suggest the government is right on target.  It's just happening differently.

Boomer bubble?  Sure.  Back in 1960.  The great die-off has begun.  It's always that way when a good percentage of your cohort is over 65 (I'm a leading edge boomer and today (Let the bells ring out!) I celebrate 71 years.

Debt bubble.  Could be.  Yet, savings rate--according to the good professor here--has actually risen a bit...


There's another issue here, how can the dept of elections allow 1 person to run for 2 different offices simultaneously?  They should have stepped in and stopped that.


You must be new to Alaska, or have never travelled to the bush.  Or both.  #25years


Once more, astonishing and disgusting levels and kinds of human averice respect no ethic or gender bounds.
At the expense of badly needed quality medical resources for rural Alaskan men, women and children; and through the  abusive, bureaucratically facilitated theft of millions of American taxpayer dollars,  - taxpayer resources generously granted specifically to these  "nonprofits", these "leaders" have betrayed their own, and the rest of us who have, through deeds and dollars,, long supported Alaska Native aspirations and equity advances.
This gross abuse and diversion to "the elite" and upper echelon leaders who have been entrusted by their people to "do the right thing" is not unique nor a first - but it is terribly disappointing. This is a sure way to destroy good will and support among both taxpayers and the more ethical and responsible Alaska Native leadership.


Anyone who thinks that bilingualism is "growing" in Canada is not playing with a full deck of cards. The destruction of English Canada continues...French Canada is next in line...


When natives  give up their dependency on Canadian money, to create their own economic system that meets their own needs independent of Ottawa without breaking all our laws in the process, ,  then I will believe they are honest, and  not just opportunists.


Except no one besides the protesters themselves were hurt in that case, Richard. Occupying a Federal facility... yeah not really the same thing as mob violence and bloody attacks.


The legislature wouldn't do the job.  Now the governor is taking the hit.


Since they can't agree on anything, can we get a whole new group of those willing to run the city instead of petty issues being focus of whom we now deal.......


So we can all pat ourselves on the back as we sit in the dark. Freezing our a$$es off.  Brilliant.


Is this your way of saying that the NDP does not have a snow ball's chance in hell of winning???  Clark is not that good, the NDP is that bad


Zuma and the ANC days are numbered.


I've said from the beginning that the "Russia hacked the election" story was utter nonsense.
Julian Assange (WikiLeaks) has stated that he didn't get the DNC and Podesta e-mails from Russia, and there's no reason for him to lie about that.
Further, if the Russians did have those e-mails, and if they wanted them exposed to embarrass the Clinton campaign, they would simply publish them on RT-news.. along with editorial comments.. no need for WikiLeaks!
I don't doubt that Russian government cyber experts (along with many others) are hacking U.S. government and business... but the "hacked the election" story is hogwash!


you live in a mini home yet skeex? 100% bicycle?


You might want to read it again and closely this time. Not only will you then know it is not about 1963, but also that he is talking about a deep cultural inclination towards the anti-intellectual. He recognized how false information, conspiracy and ignorance could quick move through society in old times prior to mass media.Culture and norms are the drivers not hardware and software.

And news publications frequently ran two publications a day and hit the eyes of a mass of people. Rather than all the fragmentation of digital media, the effect was powerful and concentrated. Just like the effect of mass pop culture in the past which could create social phenomenon (unlike today with fractured cliques), the old way created waves of genuinely wide and deep movements of anti-intellectualism and paranoia. But since you like technological analogies, you talk about 6 or 7 tiny, tinny transistor radios when the traditional mass media was one stereo channeled turned up to 11 on massive speakers.


So sad to see the level of delusion that some folks cling to


The past administration spent significant resources and energy affirming civil rights for everyone. The joker that just got elected has made it clear that he selectively supports rights for some. This is what we are concerned about.


If you have ever asked how much damage can one man do to America....here is your answer.


No worries, this circus act is managing a scandal a day


I did not assert that I know the contents of HRC's speeches.  If you don't like reporters' reports of eyewitness accounts, so be it, but I find them entirely believable, that is, the recollections by persons who were there that they were basically like high school assemblies for inspirational speakers, or like pep rallies.

It appears that you have had to put words into my mouth in order to discredit me.  I find that both puzzling and reprehensible.  But thank you for the attention, I think it reflects well on me, so far!


If you are so terrified--don't drive. If you are not capable of manoeuvring  the traffic safely make a better choice. Choosing to drive two tons of steel is a responsibility. Take it seriously. Slow down.


I am not a Trump fan.  In my view he ranges from properly characterized as a bad joke to an abomination.  Nevertheless, I hope the new leaders of the Daily Dispatch dispense with type of opinion piece.  Frankly, even if I largely agree with her, I don't care what Jennifer Rubin thinks.  The only people I want to hear from are Alaskans.  I care naught what Cal Thomas, or Christine Flowers or Leonard Pitts or Michael Gerson have to say.   Or any of the rest of them.  I like to read Paul Jenkins and Shannyn Moore and all manner of local folks.


The problem with the internet is that ignorant people can remain ignorant, and get all of their information from sites that only pander to their ignorance.
No matter how ridiculous...here's a fascinating article about how some teens made a lot of money posting Fake News about Hillary Clinton on right wing websites.
"INSIDE THE MACEDONIAN
FAKE-NEWS COMPLEX"
https://www.wired.com/2017/02/veles-macedonia-fake-news/


Yep, we've already seen how the left treats Trump supporters.


He's not a woman.


still don't get the reference.... can you explain?


Charge the truck driver and/or the coyote with 8 counts of murder and 20 attempted murder.


Not fake....just always biased.


1. I never assumed that "no one" has truly grapples with the Church's position.  I do maintain there are many who are disdainful toward the Church's reasonable teaching that human life worthy of protection begins at conception.

2. I don't really doubt the Church's ability to heal.  What I really doubt is the ability of many of the Church's antagonists to accept the Church's good medicine.

3. You say, "As a woman in the Catholic Church I'm fully aware the church places greater value on a fetus than on a woman."  You can't be "fully aware" of a Church teaching that doesn't exist.  Where has the Church has ever said such a thing?  I just see more hyperventilation here,

4. You say abortion is "morally fraught," but it is a serious moral problem because life begins at conception.  If it's less than that, no moral problem.  But you say it can be done "only as a last resort."  Would you say that regarding the life of a newborn?  Of course not. Why should such a procedure be made safe?


And how does that relate to the median income?  Price alone doesn't matter without the context of income.


A fat broad with a tatoo. Sorry that does not nail it down very good. We got lots of them.


"Some said romantic relationships fell apart when their partners found out they could not get pregnant again." Coercion is a strong term - if a surgery was performed in this way, that is troubling. Still, it sounds like these women had had multiple births. How many children had they had before tubal ligation was suggested?  Were their children well cared for at home?  In most families, parents have to consider whether they have the maturity and finances to provide security and love for their children. Multiple pregnancies should not be the measure of a 'romantic relationship' because romances tend not to last, and they should never form the only foundation for a pregnancy or series of pregnancies in any society. It's time for our society & governments to be clear about the responsibilities that go into raising children. Parents have to consider how many children they can afford - by extension, how many can governments afford, relying on the tax base? Babies are not mere 'after-glow'.


He is as annoying as a fly at a picnic. I'm sure you know what that means.

--Read Gianluiggi Nuzzi' 2015 expose:  "Merchants In The Temple:  Inside Pope Francis' Secret Battle Against Corruption in the Vatican."  Here's a review from Fortune magazine:  http://fortune.com/2015/11/06/pope-francis-merchants-temple/-


Raven, you're just about spot on there.


Was President Obama wrong in 2012?

“Governor Romney, I’m glad that you recognize that al-Qaeda is a threat, because a few months ago when you were asked what’s the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia, not al-Qaeda,” Obama said.  “The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because the Cold War’s been over for 20 years….When it comes to our foreign policy, you seem to want to import the foreign policies of the 1980s, just like the social policies of the 1950s, and the economic policies of the 1920s.”


LOL...Which animals?  Doesn't matter as the mag size for hunting is usually specified in the regs.  (Even IF the "standard" magazine for a particular firearm is MORE than what is specified for hunting....you can purchase hunting mags.) And yes, fully auto weapons ARE hard to get.  I know of only one person in this area (I'm sure there are more) that had a .50 cal M-2 machine gun.  He shot it competitively.  Have fired one in the military, and they ARE sweet to shoot.  I've seen experts able to fire one round at a time.  Don't have a "pop" gun, and don't need a rope...I have a gun.  You'd NEVER bring a rope to a gunfight! As to Miller, he just explained the left wing plan to disarm the populace.  Which, the rabid left admits... personally...if you don't want a gun..don't buy one!


The stupidity and arrogance of U.S. foreign policy is indeed exceptional.


Like I said -- disagree with progressives, they call you blind.

I forgot to add that they also often quote the bible to "prove" they are right.

By the way,  the "you have eyes" verse seems awfully self-justifying and very one size fits all.    But let's not forget that Jesus' reference to the yeast of the Pharisee and Herod had zero to do with the putative wisdom of allowing in 11 million unskilled illegals and turning a blind eye to the dangers of radical Muslim culture.


Trump told gtm that whatever the problem, it's Hillary's fault.

And gtm knows that Trump never lies.


CBC and their moderation was unCanadian in their articles and lead up to the last Fed.
election. This in my opinion is what happened in the USA which resulted in Americans
frustrated with their Governance and resulted in anti establishment backlash.
The Liberals lack of transparency, failed promises, foreign policy and lack of proper
vetting of Immigrants, spending our children's future does not bode well for Canada.


A very good point you bring to the fore st1d...I almost got your profile name horribly wrong!  Since the Nixon administration, much has been done to further enhance the legal protection municipal police departments are allowed, with the general public's own personal rights suffering the most.  This has been the norm for some time, and it has been a quiet movement based on instilling fear in the public whose knee jerk reaction is MORE law and order.


Ski area reservations are tracked and it's clear where each visitor is coming from, either by their home address, or by their address from their credit cards. It seems he's just emphasizing the effect that having a racist president is having on our economy.


This state is way way beyond the need for a state income tax. Of course, Tim Eyman won't support that as an alternative.


The BC "Fiberals" are desparate to get the pork barrel back.  Shameless!


When is the Satan interview being broadcast? Milton's piece on the Father of Lies was a great read.


I worked 42 years to get to retirement. UBI would allow people to by-pass and retire really, really early. Having said that, if we could eliminate  the UI, Welfare, Handicapped Income Supports, and Disability Pension administrations over multi-levels of government AND ensure people don't retire really, really early because they want to smoke dope and ski, then I'm all for it.


They also said the end very likely would happen in 1975 and even commended (in the watchtower) witnesses for selling their houses and pioneering because of it.

But 1975 came and went!

They also said (for many decades) that the end would come before the generation born in 1914 passed away. In fact up until 1995 it was written inside each Awake magazine cover.

Only they then had to change that meaning as well (including the Awake masthead) because that generation CAME AND WENT TOO.

I mean be honest with yourself, Aislin.

Jehovah's Witnesses predicted end of the world, IN WRITING, numerous times. Not once did they come true. They truly are known for False Predictions the world over.

JW's used to forbid Vaccinations and Organ Transplants (calling a life saving transplant "Cannibalism") for a combined 33 years.

How many people died listening to JWs on these things?


They including the Chump should go work for NASA because all they do is take up space.


Uh-oh the community grew up around O.C.C.C., must correct items ill be Federal 'must do' too.


I had no idea you had a front row seat to Kathleen's mind. Must be interesting in there.


And see how well that works out for other's in the area. People often don't realize how time sensitive these type situations are, how fluid they are and how quickly life or death decisions often need to be made.


Jobs aren't important, huh? Nor is cheap energy? Too much bs to respond to in your 'comment.'


You do realize we are the most welcoming provence in canada right? I am guessing you spent very little time in other places around canada. They will hate you more than any newfoundlander ever will.  Most of us are just very ignorant and know nothing of the outside world. And those of us that do know that we have a hidden gem of human compassion in newfoundlands people And Wish to preserve it. I hope you understand it is nothing personal. And the term CFA's... I have NEVER Heard of it. Now the term Mainlander... That's the right term you are looking for... Comes from aways... OMG That Does not even sound like a newfy term... SMH...


He's probably making this up to hype his new show and the Denver Post fell for it.


What percentage of homes in other cities are vacant?
Perhaps you might look at New York, London and a few large cities and see how they deal with this instead of trying to invent something that has probably been done already?


Last I heard they were barricaded by police at a different baseball field, so I am sure they are still trying to figure out what is going on.  Heard from Jared Polis this morning.  Quit trying to be partisan.


The school year for teachers runs from August 10-May 31, so you're a bit off on the 70% estimate. Teachers work 50+ hour weeks during the school year and still work during summer. I have 165 students. Every day I have to prepare lessons and assessments, teach classes, grade all the assessments and record everything in the grade book. Then there are disciplinary issues and phone calls home to parents, meetings with counselors and special educators, individual education plans and 504 plans, performing mandatory "volunteer" work after school hours, and sponsoring a club (required in DougCo).

Even if it only takes me 3 minutes to grade each student's work: 165 students x 3 minutes each = 495 minutes. That's 8 hours and 25 minutes of grading at least once or twice per week.

In summer, teachers attend professional development and are required to take classes to maintain our proficiency and earn relicensure credits. There's also CPR, first aid, mandatory child abuse reporting, etc., etc.


So, if the nature of man has not changed, then the will of God for our intimate relationships with others has not altered either. We may know more but this does not alter the fact we were created for a purpose. Indeed, if anything, science has underlined the coherence of "old fashioned" values.


This story was done already just yesterday.

To reiterate, Montreal's DEMOCRATICALLY elected City council voted UNANIMOUSLY to declare itself as Canada's fourth SANCTUARY city (after Toronto, Hamilton and London.)

The cities of Ottawa, Saskatoon, Regina, and Winnipeg are the next to consider declaring themselves sanctuary cities.

Let these anti-democratic Breitbart bigots RANT ON !!

They will lose yet AGAIN and AGAIN fighting against the real will of the Canadian people.


Of course that's what will happen. No doubt about it.


John McCain, nonsense. A ship's captain can provide better training and drills for his officers and men, and follow good watch procedures, without the taxpayers needing to throw hundreds of millions of dollars at the navy.


Until just before negotiations started, Trudeau didn't provide any list of negotiating demands on the grounds that he didn't want to negotiate in public. Then at the last moment we got a set of demands about gender equality and climate change, etc. that looked more like virtue signalling than any practical set of bargaining demands. We were also told that Canadian negotiators would walk away from the table if the Americans wanted to get rid of the Ch. 19 dispute settlement panels. Now he says that the Canadians will stay at the table no matter what. For some reason, these breathtaking switches of position leave Clark and other fawning Canadian journos quite unfazed. The Liberal caucus should ditch Trudeau, and replace him with someone with a mind before it is too late.


Actually, the law is very specific.  Only dogs can be service animals.  The rest are classified as "comfort" animals, and businesses, airlines, etc. are not required by the law to accomodate them.  The may choose to like the airlines, but it is not required.  This is a pet peeve of mine.  These cheaters are making it more difficult for those who are in real need.  It's time to license them so there is no question.  Kinda like handicapped parking... I can't just say I have a disability, I have to apply for a handicapped permit and display it when using that parking.  Licensing would solve the problem for everybody... another simple solution that should have been enacted a long time ago IMO.  This situation would never have happened.


We should ask ourselves.  How important is a San Francisco consulate office to our national well-being and our relationship with the United States?  I spent two years in the Bay Area, so please do not give the argument that we have an office there because of Silicon Valley.


I agree with The Holy Father and you.  However, Msgr.'s mission is to minister to these men.  If he started protesting against The Death Penalty, the prison officials would kick him out.


Sez you.  La de da.


Good article.
It's clear that the armed civilians saved innocent lives by pinning Whitman down. Today's more heavily armed police might be able to handle the same scenario without help from private citizens. However, they still can't be everywhere all the time. Armed citizens stop crimes thousands of times per year before the police arrive.


Donald see above discussion. All Alaskans are stockholders in their own assets. We have a chance to be more democratic than all other states because we can affect the board of directors (leg) and the chair of the board (gov) actions. The value of our stock has been reduced...thus the leg and the gov should receive critiques and repercussions.


To continue the point, Garner was NOT put in a chokehold. He died exacerbating his own physical limitations/ailments, caused by his own actions.


To be really fair, they should stop every car going 36 in a 35 mph zone. But I am glad they aren't completely fair. I'm fine with them picking and choosing a bit. They do this because while it is a law, few people know it. They also choose this because a driver not knowing this law can end up with someone else being killed. A jaywalker puts themselves in danger, as do bicyclist lawbreakers (I know, plenty of exceptions). But I like the general rule of focusing on situations where the lawbreaker puts others in harm's way.


Another form of slavery. Been there, done that. They are doing something with their lives: they're living.


Shouldn't this how business be conducted?  Why the news?


Heather Meyer, earning her $25 an hour working for George Sorrows?

I do not think you know what are you talking about. 15% is Federal tax rate on net company income. If one is drawing salary he/she pays taxes just like anyone else acording to tax bracket. To boot if earning over 3K then Company pays CPP and individual pays CPP as well. That is double since he/she owns a Company. One can draw an income in form of dividends which is 8.1% up to 38K and 41% over 202K. Note that dividend is paid and taxed at this rate after the 15% of tax. One also needs to consider benefits before leaving  regular emplyment.
Yes, there are few benefits, writing off, mileage, company car, office space in your house, tools and so on. Dividends can be paid only to  shareholders of a company. There are some ideas floating around about what some companies may do to avoid taxes, but in bulk most of them are tax fraud and evasion. Best thing I like, is that I do not have to listen to uninformed superiors, like the one who suggests incorporating, without knowing  circumstances.


He is a wishy-washy fence-sitter.


Any decisions that Trump makes are made with Trump's best interests in mind.  Not the US's.


I look forward to the day that the Prime Minister represents ALL Canadians, not just his activist causes.  The next election cannot come too soon!


Preposterous nonsense unsupported by any facts.  More hate dreaming by a Hater.

You do realize of course that Harper was our PM in 2015 and Trump had already started his hate campaign..

It is very interesting to me a graduate of a Catholic Medical School, where I was taught in the 1960's that pedophillia was not a treatable condition, that so many Catholic Bishops sought out psychological treatment from a minority of psychologists who attempted treatment.  Most of these "treatment centers" have fortunately been closed as useless.  Some have admitted their mistake and attempt to treat other psychological problems.  Yet Bishops even today use the idea that they were misled by psychologists.  Too bad they did not consult with the women Catholic Social Workers trained in their own institutions about these problems.  It could have headed off this scandal.  Yet Bishops were willing to pay to keep these specially ordained men in the ranks.  They were willing to stand up for their own clergy before they were willing to protect our children.  Some of these same men are still powerful today.  FIRE THEM NOW!!  yes the shout is purposeful...


I don't trust the Liberals.  They started with a lie (Less than a $10 billion deficit, Syrian refugees by the end of December 2015) and it continues.
Also notice that briefing have almost disappeared and there is no embedded journalist with our troops as there was under Harper.
Clearly, the Liberals are so arrogant they believe theirs is only valid opinion and we, the underclass, had better toe the line.


More women work in retail, so comparing one to one jobs is not appropriate. Factor in danger pay, seasonailty, less job security and less transferably and the 'wage' disparity drops off. Do I have a number? No because no one is wiling to do a study thay address the deeply flawed methodolgical isssues. Also, none-wage earn time is not even factored in, only wage earning time! Its just a red herring that is used as a false standard-bearer.


Okay, the number of Americans who applied for a grant of citizenship rose by 70 percent in the 12 weeks following the election of President Donald Trump when compared to the same period a year earlier.   Percentages are absolutely meaningless.  If it was ten people last year, a 70% rise would be 17 this year, which is not very many.  Stop playing games and give us the actual numbers.   I think this is just another way the media is trying to make Trump look bad.


Adapt or die. Darwin is waiting for you!!!!!!!


I rest my case


Ellen Weintraub can go to hell, and the sooner she is packed off to that particular place, the better.


Both of you are wrong because George was an advisers to Trump and there are pictures of him sitting with Trump at the meetings.   Manafort was running Trump's campaign for a short period of time and he was later removed.  Trump is now trying to distance himself from these people by saying he didn't know George and that is a big lie.


And of course the writer did not mention SIR Royalty Income Fund.


Sorry Barrie, the title should read "Canada is placing bets on 'open science' to drive INVENTION".  While worthwhile research, like your bike example, the (often US) companies are the ones who create the lucrative new product category and complete the INNOVATION.  They are the ones getting the IP and reaping the economic benefit...
Nice try though.


This pipeline has sparked an Indian movement that has been festering for hundreds of years.  The thousands of people who have joined the Hunkpapa Indians are testimony to a larger problem.  You will find nitwits arguing that a pipeline is the safest way to export the oil.  The question ignored is, who does the oil belong to?  I say that the oil belongs to the people.  Nitwits say we have to move huge amounts of oil.  Why, on God's green earth, why?  We have a glut of oil right now sitting in storage tanks.  Why not leave the oil in the ground for now, the best storage?  Why drain every drop of oil from the ground in record speed?  How stupid can you get?  The Indians are the only ones showing intelligence and restraint in this situation.  Many white people agree with them.  The authorities say they arrested dangerous protesters.  However, they did not arrest the security guards who brought in vicious dogs to bite people.  How stupid can you get, Mr. Dalrimple?


Yeah but ... so? Any group of people who believe that their race, religion, whatever is superior and ought to replace and eliminate all others is a PROBLEM and I don't care what their race, religion, whatever is. Nazis, for example, are a PROBLEM. Nazis ARE bad guys, period. They have demonstrated (check out some mid-20th centry history, for example) that they are a MAJOR PROBLEM.

Let's not allow ourselves to get sucked into observing that some people from non-white races are also racists and concluding that therefore Nazis have a right to do their thing. They don't! Nazis ARE bad guys, period.


Illegal aliens vote multiple times in our elections. Thanks to democrats, no one is allowed to check to see if they're real citizens or not voting. Democrats actively court felons and illegals as their main voting block, as well as halfwits like liberals. America is becoming worse and worse, thanks to them.


I guess the plus side is he didn't try to use anesthesia and kill his patients. How do people get suckered for surgery by someone like this? I suppose it's price.


Maybe the legalized weed attracted the weirdos?


Yup, but most voters don't. Elections  are annoying, when they go against you, aren't they.


Congratulations on a well-deserved win.

Why?  The study was too flawed to be convincing.

Fortune Magazine, hardly a left wing periodical, responded with a byline that said: "The Seattle Minimum Wage Study Is Utter B.S." ( http://fortune.com/2017/06/27/seattle-minimum-wage-study-results-impact-15-dollar-uw/)


SB 21 results in our dividends being redirected to the Oil and Gas industry.


Meanwhile millions of illegals continue to cross our southern border with impunity.


Teach your grand child not to look at people's genitals while in the bathroom. Problem solved.


The way I see it, "immigrants" -- by which you seem to mean people of colour rather than WASP stock -- do the jobs WASP white Canadians are too darn lazy to do. When did you last see a WASP white Canadian running a corner store, or a dry-cleaners, or mopping the floors in a hospital? No, "Canadians" are too good for jobs like that. "Canadians" go to university and get semi-useless degrees just so they don't have to mop floors or drive taxis. But someone has to do those jobs, and unless WASP white Canadians are ready to step up to the plate, it'll have to be immigrants. And immigrants of all colours and backgrounds and religions, not just the palatable WASP ones.

Is that why you up-voted the guy who said it would be funny to see whites getting beaten down?


Forgot to include malpractice insurance.


Only 39% of Canadians who voted picked Trudeau. 32% of Canadian who had a right to vote did not do so. Do your math Trudeau has a majority in the HoC and can more or less act like a dictator for the next few years with only 1 in 4 Canadians having selected him as leader. Sad indeed. I am therefore quite sceptical of the polls that appararently say he has such a great approval ratings.


When you're honest you get banned by ADN site trolls.


"The savings go to offset the cost of uninsured patients, he said. In 2016, OMC’s uncompensated care costs were $4 million, Lewis said." Really? Our uninsured population would be covered by the tax emption status of most hospitals non-profit exemptions  that are required to meet the value of their tax free exemption in indigent care. Audits show the vast majority fall way short.


I agree with Thomas.  Comey will stand by his earlier testimony that there has been no pressure.  The 'memo' is an obvious fraud and the NYT fell for it.


It's getting close!


who do you think will subsidize the damage done by climate change?


Crux has a much better written and more balanced article on this topic.

Annoyingly yelling "GO DUCKSH!!" will not get you out of that drunk in public ticket.


This injustice simply CANNOT stand.  We will not live in a fair and just society until white people have been punished for the sins of their forbears and reparations have been made to ALL people of colour for the centuries of persecution at the hands of Imperialist Caucasians.


You assume without proof, then build the case based on premises you have assumed, got it. What if you started from personal choice/constraints and worked from there?


Just like Sessions should get up to speed how the law works, you could benefit from a bit of reading how the separation of powers in the USA works.

"Silencers?" "Tactical gun?" "Grenades?"  Sooo, literally everything you know about guns and gun owners comes from Hollywood movies. Got it.
.
You know, it's ok that you know nothing about guns, but you could go to the range sometime to actually meet gun owners-- they would probably be all too happy to show you and teach you about firearms.


It's really clear to me in reading these comments that people posting haven't been downtown on a regular basis since the dog ban.  I live downtown(in the core) and it has changed dramatically.  Much more police presence, far fewer loiterers, very few dogs, the yelling and screaming has decreased markedly, the park blocks are cleaner and in general there is a happier attitude of those who visit/live here.  The issue of safety is improved through the increased police/red hats presence.  I don't feel like I'm walking on red alert like I used to.
Again, I live in the core of downtown Eugene where all the problems were occurring.  It's a much different place.  There will always be the mentally ill and street people/travelers who have trouble obeying the law but their numbers have decreased markedly.  I would encourage people to visit downtown and ask the business owners how they feel about the changes.  Every one of them I've spoken to appreciate everything that's being done.


First off blabber, I want to thank you for your concerns regarding the well being of our once beautiful, peaceful State.  Your passion is powerful and you sound like you're twisted up in knots over the true loss of our State to greed, pollution and special interests.

I've spent the last ....wait......since '88 trying to bring awareness to locals and all most were concerned about was buying and selling and the worship of the almighty $$$.

The only way I could find piece of mind for an outright impossible situation is/was to withdraw.  Take care of yourself.  I care.  l2g


Amazing. I can buy a house, a car, food, clothing. dental care and insurance, house insurance, bicycle, tricycle, tv, computers, furniture, flowers, vegetables and on and on and

 I can't buy medical care.

Canadians would start a new standard by having health care in the private sector and a Guaranteed Annual Income for the poor. The poor could live like the rest of us


Trust me, the 71% of us with common sense that don't support paying a terrorist $10.5M will not forget about this when the next election comes up. In fact, we'll keep this front and center every day till that time comes. Not to mention the billions Tater Tot has given those muslim countries. That won't be forgotten, either.


Many of the individuals trying to defraud Canada’s visa program are from the same socioeconomic groups or regions that once paid smugglers – also called “snakeheads” – as much as $70,000 to arrive illegally on Canada’s shores by boat, government briefing documents show.

Ok they are from Foken province, a place traditionally semi-illiterate farmers want to emigrant. Many gangs among their society and many restaurants, Chinese supermarkets are owned by them here.


How is this the lead story on denverpost.com on the same day as the worst mass shooting in US history?  If you are the editor of Post webpage, you should just quit now... even if you were told to do this by corporate.

Where are the adults in this freaking country?


bust the TRUSTS ..pay taxes like the rest of us !


Better check your stats, again.  The last (and only) time the same sex marriage issue was put on the ballot, our state overwhelmingly said no in 1998.  I believe it was ~73% of the voters who voted said no.  Then gov Ben did the bait and switch/sleight of hand w/ civil unions.  Of course it didn't pass until 2009 - 2012,but I'm pretty sure there were many Dems who made up part of that 70%+ figure, so your comment is inaccurate.  Blaming the Republican party for Democrat party failures is called transference.  Its a typical Alinsky tactic (e.g. Trump-Russia collusion, when it was DNC/Hilary/Podesta/Obama-Russia collusion).

For your comment to be accurate, the issue of same sex marriage would need to be put on the ballot again, voted on again, and THEN the outcome would be clearer.  Abercrombie railroaded it on us, despite public outcry against it.  And a statewide vote, to boot (i.e. 1998).


You are sooo funny. :))

OK, and now.. what is your answer to my question? :))

BTW, in this article Le Pen (no firend of mine), has not said a single word against charity. Her only point was about the role of the state and government, and what are its primary responsibilities. :)) So ... and now, if you would care to answer my question....? :)


And the deterioration of the quality of Canadian auto journalists continue. The likes of Cheney, Laturnus, Whitney, etc would never mistake the M2 for a sedan, It's called a coupe.

Sigh ...at least we still have David Booth and Graeme Fletcher.


Randall Wilson writes: "The Harvard Law School's Immigration and Refugee Clinical Program just issued a report..."

============

And who - exactly - FUNDED this report?

Every time - every single time - as soon as you see who funded any piece of research, or report, or conducted a poll, you know EXACTLY what the conclusion will be without even reading it.


Yes I am and from everything I have read in scripture it is an accurate comparison.  Sorry you disagree...?  I don't think of your friend any differently than I would think of any other believer dealing with their own personal journey in following Christ.  You keep using that word but seem to still lack a grasp on it's meaning...

If my beliefs manifest into an intolerant attitude then that would be bigoted but again, I am having a hard time seeing that in my previous posts.  There may be some of that in my mind but it's surely not where my heart should be and of course is not the attitude the church should have towards those it disagrees with.  Thank you for the reminder to put my own beliefs below the respect of others.

Do you ridicule your friend for his belief in "sky gods" and association with such a bigoted religion?  Or do you save that for people you don't know trying to give a respectful counterpoint that you disagree with on the internet?


If down votes counted for anything Alceste would no longer be on here.


Freedom of speech is a fundamental right of a healthy democracy.


Also, for xtians that want to retreat into child-like fantasies about their god coming to end the world and save them, etc., I have a suggestion - get out of the way of those looking to provide real leadership for the future.

Stop voting for fools or even just stop voting altogether. According to your eschatology, it won't matter anyway. So maybe butt out of worldly affairs, and let the adults run things here? You guys can spin yarns about the rapture and other fairy tales to your heart's delight.


Personally , I'm offended by the racist ANC flag , but I don't think that will make any difference in anyone's life.
I got over that a long time ago.


It is an interesting debate.  I'm certainly a strong supporter of property rights, but there is a balance that's necessary when you have many land owners in close proximity to each other because there is some spill-over affect.  That's why we have cites/towns, and rural areas.  The choice to own land in a city/town comes with the knowledge that property development will have more limits places on it (zoning) as compared to rural land ownership where there aren't nearly as many close-proximity neighbors.

Now, while that is a justification for zoning in cities/towns, it's not an endorsement of extreme zoning limitations.  I still favor only modest limits applied by zoning.  Land owners still ought to have quite a bit of leeway with what they can do with their property.  But there are some big things that warrant limits to keep character of the city/town intact.


Paul tells us Jesus emptied himself of his divinity and became a man like us in all things but sin. He wasn't psychic.

More to the point, he likely wasn't concerned about the bread provided at the Last Supper. He had other things on his mind.


As long as we get value for $$$ spent on education BUT that does not seem to be the case. When the education system stopped teaching basic skills of reading, writing and math and jumped into social engineering they lost my support.


Muck - The Democratic Party had an excellent chance to modify our immigration laws in 2009 and 2010 when they had a filibuster-proof majority in the US Senate, a strong majority in the US House and President Obama in the White House.  Their inaction on immigration back then makes it easy to believe they like the screwed-up system we have today.


Psssssssst: Vested interest. Of course. "Corruption"...hardly. When does any board of directors reflect a makeup apart from those who have an interest?

Not a penny has been spent other than the $1 a piece per year for the board members. How in the world is that "corruption" save for in the mind of a manic?


incredibly irresponsible driving that put many lives at risk.


I would have been far more interested in a more introspective change in policy preferences and priorities than I am in a change in personnel.  Since their election, the Liberals, and I am one, appear to be increasingly disconnected from the genuine interests and concerns of Canadians.  They would do well to realign their policies and dedicate their time and energies to those issues identified as the priorities of Canadians.


...pics and film of Abe and JT from APEC summit says otherwise eh!...

Um, did Hillary Clinton or John Kerry have significant experience running a large organization like the State Department?
No?
Were either of them experienced diplomats?
No?
(Sigh) I thought so....


Great more zombies among us? This is exactly WHY there is a drug problem and addicts. There is no control of it, the purpose of the addiction to heroin is that the user needs to increase the dosage over time, until an overdose does occur, because that is the actual addiction of it.


Scared of a lil crosswind?


They weren't "assault weapons".  That term is a name fabricated by the media.  Based on the information released so far, they were all semi-automatic modern sporting rifles, legally obtained, and legally modified.  Fortunately, it isn't up to you to decide who needs what type of firearms.  You are making a lot of assumptions about how many people would have died if he had bolt action rifles instead.  Personally, I have no interest or use for the slide-fire stocks that he used.  I've never seen the fascination with them, and I do agree that they probably shouldn't be legal.  But as to the rifles themselves, there was nothing exceptional or illegal about them (as far as I know from the information released so far - that may change as more information becomes available).


But bike lanes are almost entirely on city streets and city streets are funded primarily by local property and sales taxes.


Not in Vancouver they don't. Most can't afford to live anywhere near the center of the city, especially if they raising a family. And there is only so many dwellings in the inner city too .... not everyone can live there even if it was reasonably priced.

Funny how they tolled those bridges but not the one that was built across Okanagan lake connecting West Kelowna, Peachland, and Summerland to Kelowna. Why should that bridge be different. Like it or not we have a transportation system that makes our society run via the transportation of people and goods. Why should some areas be punished and others not. That's just plain crazy and insulting too.


1/2
Agreed, we are discussing issues prior to original sin. I am using Last Common Ancestor in the sense used by geneticists in developing trees of life. That perspective sees no discontinuity at any point in evolution, and most certainly does not entertain our specific religious problem of ensoulment, a necessary and irreducible discontinuity from our perspective.

In imagining, in speculating, about a solution, I accept direct creation by Yahweh in the sense of ensoulment as inescapable, but see no reason to imagine the direct creation of the bodies of our earliest ancestors (which you seem to see as required?). Indeed, Yahweh directly creates everyone of us in the womb by a similar act of direct creation, of ensoulment of sexually reproduced biological matter. I suggest that once one ponders the equivalence of that first ensoulment and all subsequent ensoulments, each an instance of direct creation, then the starting point disappears as a problem.

Points well taken, Jake! But, we all need serious reflection.
In context, The KEPLER galaxy research satellite is finding evidence of untold numbers of Earth-like planets in deep-space. Planet Earth is but a dust-speck in context of cosmic expansion.
Evolving life on Earth is ever in transition, as the extinction of humankind is likely if not inevitable. It is insanity to witlessly accelerate species extinctions. Being petty and presumptuous is tragically silly and wittingly stupid.
The truly 'religious' thing to do is to begin to respect all life, and do what we can to avoid accelerating extinctions, and, work to secure species-diverse life on Planet Earth. Our ignorant hubris is air in the hot balloon of pride, making more imminent the risk of epic popping.
What's urgent is CHURCHES UNITED in common pursuit of well-being and Eucharistic sensitivity toward all life. We need to end the silly hubris of feel-good self-sufficiency and submit wholesomely to essential interdependency. Amen.


You are welcome to go ahead and live in such a thing...in the mean time, HEI isn't thinking of a small home windmill, but 5MW worth of industrial wind power on the smallest of the islands.  Do you want it next to your house?  And once that is in place, how many more to come?  How do you spell Trojan Horse?
When you scrape the soil with a blade in Hawaii, it never comes back. So the giant footing itself and the  access roads to maintain it and the huge windmill, plus all the infrastructure required to get it all on site.  Lets see, did they ever clean up the mess of dead windmills on South Point of the Big Island?  Are they really going to be able to do that in 20 years or less when they crap out or become obsolete?
By the way, my house is energy neutral to negative.  I need no AC or heating.  Solar heats my water,  prepares my food and washes my dishes and clothes. How about you wind lovers?
"Wind Energy" is a curse used by shills of NextEra and the HEI Executive Board.


In fairness to the actual (not imaginary) offender, he is just an ignorant child whose behavior is no worse than that of many other children three times his age.

Now that the kid has admitted to the offense, he deserves another chance to straighten up and fly right---if not at this school, perhaps by enlisting in one of the services. (As semi-literate liberal theologians cannot seem to quit saying, " Let he who is innocent cast the first stone.")

I do not tell lies, deface property or write vulgar hateful stuff, yet would be half tempted to pull a stunt like this to provoke reactions by those who are too impulsive and immature for their posts of authority, such as that three-star general.  When people yapping off about "society's" "racism" get exposed for the idiots whom they are behaving like, that gives them reason to govern their emotions and catch up on maturity.


What dentist charges under $50.00 for a check-up ?    Not in this age !


A leftist can say just about anything and some cranky conservative will something to complain about.


Pence is an ultra-right wing, arch conservative, fundamentalist Christian.  However, he's not, as you say, Donald Trump.  I don't feel Pence would be a threat to our country.   I too would disagree with many of his positions....but, that's what the political process is for......Trump is a whole different 'ball game'.....IMO, (and I've said it many times) intellectually, emotionally and morally unfit to be President of the United States and is a genuine threat to the well being of our country.  Gary Crum


Its an outrage to see Canada's birthplace left in such a state. If this site was in the US, it would be cherished and celebrated. We need to do the same here!


President Trump doesn't worry about poor people needing Medicaid assistance because Trump thinks poor people can always go to emergency rooms.
President Trump doesn't worry about poor people in winter, because Trump thinks utilities wouldn't dream of shutting off people who can't afford to pay in the middle of winter.
What is Trump thinking? That hospitals and utility companies make those costs disappear?
"Health and Human Services Secretary Thomas Price, who contends the LIHEAP program doesn’t demonstrate 'strong performance outcomes' ...”
I guess preventing people from freezing doesn't show up on Secretary Price's spreadsheet.
Where is Charles Dickens when we need him?


“what is right”. well.   that would be what we call a judgement call isnt it?
in my judgement I don’t want to live in a society where I can’t aee faces
My 2 million years of evolution has taught me how to carefully watch faces for the most important social cues of my life
So, I think my right is to live in a society for which I am socially adapted.  And I think there are way more of me ,than them ,so in my judgement I kinda think majority should rule.
PS religion is nowhere in my discussion.  if it was  “ biker gang elects to wear “no face revealing” clothing” I’d feel the same way.


Except that the 90% figure is smoke and mirrors.

7% or less is consistently found with non-leading questions.


What the Liberals are doing is exactly what Trump asked them to do which is to pay your fair share to our common NATO defense obligations.


Curious how the Manual principal would benefit by making this up.  Assuming it is NOT true, the only thing I can conjure is that Principal Dawkins was not at the game but was told this by parents and/or coaches.  He really has no reason to make something up like this and go through the trouble of sending a letter to parents (which somebody gave to the Post). Without proof (i.e. a photograph) or even one of the Weld Central High confirming this happened I think it becomes he said-she said and the onus is on Manual High School to prove the flag was raised.  Perhaps much ado about nothing in the end.


Same sort that thinks the Taxed Enough Already (TEA) Party is about tri-pointed hats and sipping tea.


I lived in St Petersburg Russia and attended St Petersburg State Technical College for almost 2 years. The Russian people are not our enemies. They are extremely warm and generous people.  Culturally, they are also  light years ahead of the USA with even people outside the population cores having  an understanding of opera, theater, ballet, artwork, and music. The history of the city and the incredible beauty are second to none in the world.

What the United States did to the Ukraine by fomenting unrest leading to the overthrow of the non compliant president and the placement of a western puppet in his place is not being reported at all in the MSM and what the people here are getting instead is a big pack of Obama lies and cover up. The USA needs to understand that, to Russia, Ukraine can never be just a foreign country. Russian history began in what was called Kievan-Rus. where their religion also began. It's not Russia thats pushed Ukraine to the brink of war ...it's the U.S.


What do you suppose that the Liberal intruders were after when they "breached" the apparently non-existent security?  Naomi and Avi love letters?


No, pretty sure you are thinking of Kotz and not Selawik. Alaska jets do NOT go to Selawik.


why not charge GST on stock trades?  If you buy and hold you are not hurt.  If you are a trader you are doing it as a business.  Business gets ITC.


Another example of Trump casually playing Americans off against each other for his own amusement---And the media with their hair on fire at every tweet.  Sure, a media manipulator "won" the presidency with over 5 billion in free publicity, and is currently using "twitter" to jerk the puppet strings.  I wonder how he'll like having the Constitution as his boss...?


Kiss the environment goodbye.  These guys will pour oil directly into the Kenai River.


Diabetes and sugar related health issues cost a lot of money! Raise the Tax!


That Ken guy from Crux?


How about just post your positions on each issue online and if voters are interested they can read them. IT'S FREE


Excellent article. I was hooted at and abused recently at a right-turn where the lights had been on red for several seconds. This guy drove around me, swearing and hooting and took the right turn. I suspect, however, that he doesn't understand the bit about when the right-turn light is red, you stay put. Maybe he'd only just bought his license.


Not for long. Trump is doing these DACA people favor by forcing Congress to make a decision, something Obama wouldn't do and made the issue far worse.


She has already been exonerated twice! If he chooses to appoint a special prosecutor, the ony way she would be convicted is if he paid someone off- which he might well do.

Call your Senator now.


Your response doesn't dispute the role of religion with regard to violence and bloodshed, nor does it support the ridiculous claims made by religions with regard to ourselves, the world and the universe.


That is a good question about ADN coverage of a news story. However, asking if Democrats are okay with this is inappropriate. This is not a political issue, but a human issue. Finally, the cops cannot do their jobs if they are constantly concerned about who might come into the offices. You wouldn't ask them to respond to a call without their gun or vests, would you? They need protection too since they are also citizens.


Alternative facts again.  The public sector does not maken2 to 4 times more.  A security officer on the slope makes more than I do.  The private sector generally gets paid more while the public sector generally gets better benefits it's a trade off. You can't throw any one group under the bus.  We all need to sacrifice to fix this budget problem.  That means oil companies. Government workers and citizens working in the private sector.


He needs to forget the PFD and start cutting jobs! Start at the top, and work down. What's he going to do, when they spend all the PFD?


I applaud the Senator and his efforts. I wish him well as he tries to bring some sense into fixing our budget mess without gouging the residents of Alaska who did not cause this fiscal crisis by giving away too many oil and gas tax credits that we can't afford. Fix this by repealing SB 21.


Trumps war on the media is needed! The left leaning media is out to lunch! so blatantly publishing lies and fake news, that they need to be called out and finally there is someone in office willing to call them out for their BS.

Trump never ever was under investigation for Russian collusion, but if you followed the left leaning media, you'd think otherwise. It doesn't matter if you like Trump or not, that's not the point, the point is, is that we are intentionally misinformed by CNN and that needs to stop!


They should talk about deficit spending in terms of debt to gdp ratios only. The debt should always increase over time in absolute terms, but the debt to gdp ratio should remain stable. Just as inflationary debt (increasing ratios of gov spending to gdp) is not sustainable, deflationary debt (conversely, inflationary surplus) are also not sustainable over the long run (decreasing ratios of gov spending to gdp). The analogy to personal finance is wrong since individuals retire and die, sovereign nations should not. The math is simple for anyone to see.


You know who LOVED Trump's weak response and failure to blame the white supremacists?  THEY DID. Here's a quote from the neo-Nazi publication "The Daily Stormer": "Trump's comments were good. He didn't attack us...just said the nation must come together. Nothing specific against us....implied there was hate on both sides! So he implied the antifa are haters. There was virtually no counter-signaling of us at all. Also refused to answer a question about White Nationalists supporting him. No condemnation at all. When asked to condemn, he just walked out of the room. Really, really good."
There you have it folks. You either condemn these people, condemn their evil, call them the what they are, and hold them responsible for their acts, or you are supporting them. Yes. You.


A good practice would be effective Birth Control like the rest of the civilized world!


You wrote "As for truth, for those that believe in God as I do, it comes from Him, and we encourage, but not force, others to consider that possibility. For those that don't believe in God, there either is no truth if they are honest with themselves, or they try to impose whatever they regard as truth on others by whatever means they have, and the most ruthless and powerful win." Talk about a Manichaean quandary! not to mention, a full truckload of ripe horse manure. To paraphrase, either you are a righteous believer; otherwise, there is no truth! And furthermore, unbelievers manufacture their own truth, and then force it upon others! Then you ask God to help you be on His side! Following that logic, whatever you believe to be the truth is revealed to you by God! Therefore, when others disagree with you they are wrong, because God has told you what the actual truth is. Therefore, those who disagree with you are godless, don't know the truth, and mean to impose untruth upon you! Nuts!


So that's the America you want?   Protesting in public will now be declared punishable crime.    What third world country did you use as your model?


"...If that was all true they would have built it..."
.
.
.
because all you have to do, is go down to a government office, and get a permit to build, right?

No environmental review(s) which can go on for years, no native groups that will protest, no demands for "social license", no multiple levels of government demanding their "fair share" of profits - not costs...

easy, no?


Or so says the Lawyer, so the government has never been wrong ? You amuse me.


And Buck and all of the other right-wing extremists have killed a once-respectable Republican party.


So you're saying that quoting T. Rowe Price is opinion?  Or checking U.S. economic indexes is opinion? I suggest you reread the article and note that it is mostly talking about current conditions and historical trends.  Hopefully the article  reminds Trump sycophants that the President can do very little to control the economy.  Whatever enthusiasm that an elected official can bring to the economy, that public enthusiasm has very little effect on long term trends.   I can't wait to see who Trump blames when the stock market begins to fall, and it will, it always does.  If Trump and his supporters want to take the credit now, they'll have to take the blame in the future.


No but they were wholly supporting Assad while he did drop barrel bombs. Small comfort to those below.


Let's hope she stays there!  (in the woods...)


Yeah, time magazine is totally unreliable. I'll trust you over them, especially since you sound so well informed and intelligent.

In case you didn't catch that, it's sarcasm. I fear for all minorities including my fellow Alaskan Natives.


Id' like to meet some of the 'editorial board' of the DP, what a bunch they must be.

If it's anything to do with our Good American President, Donald J Trump, they will Always come down on the side of 'he's wrong' he's racist' he's not qualified' he's just bad'  for whatever, they really don't care.  They manufacture stories to tell, and can't answer questions posed them, they stutter when asked, my gosh, what a horrible bunch.


So Trump brought up perfectly valid issues, and many jumped on it.

And Cruz got pretty far in the Republican race, despite being part Cuban. So i fail to see your point.

If Bush's team in fact did that, it was indeed disgusting tactics. But having a "love child" at all might have been more important to a conservative electorate than it being black. Otherwise, would not the fact he had adopted a Bangladeshi child be just as much of a turn-off?
