Whiny, snot nosed, legend in his own mind Shkreli needs a real smack down of tough love. Can't wait to see his face when the Jury finds him guilty on all charges, his prissy okole is sent off to prison.

Other inmates will make him feel right at home, show him the ropes, night time activities, how to be a good "Booty Boy."

Be afraid of prison Shkreli. Be very afraid.


Oh, well if major league baseball does it then it OK. Besides, who cares if hes guilty, hes accused, that's good enough. Some one get a rope!


HP uses a ton of H-1Bs, who are invariably incompetent hacks who got their positions by cheating in Indian schools. The only sport India excels at is cheating, and they are world-class. So, an Indian CV is always filled with lies and exaggerated claims, and Indian IT is always a failure.


Now you know why I carry a gun.  And I doubt I'll ever have to shoot a dog.


Exactly, legality does not define morality. Saudi Arabia continues to bomb schools and hospitals in Yemen.


"there are NO subsidies for oil pal, ..."

LOL.

Most heavily subsidised industry on Earth.  Canada's tax system is riddled.


As always, vested interest and big money overide decency and rational fairness. We live in a world drenched in violence and suffering, and even simple steps towards something only marginally better and less brutal, are resisted by those who profit from cruelty and inhumanity.

Men, women, children, animals - it makes little difference to those who profit from violence and the pain of others. CFIA has a long history of aquiescense to big money players. Here is yet another nail in the credibility of our so called "public" servants. No wonder our society is falling apart.


I strongly support the many part natives who choose to live on native land. What I disagree with is the taxpayer having to carry them so much due to their decision. If they want to live that way have at er but dont use my hard earned money to do it. Earn your own living and support your own family. They live in a culture of welfare.


There's another story on the front page today about a Moroccan "refugee" that recently stabbed and killed 2 people and injured another 8 in Finland. He was refused refugee status but remained in the country.

So, not only are these "refugees" a massive financial burden to Canada, they're also a huge safety risk. They come from areas of the world that can cause a lot of trauma and they're overwhelming young men - a perfect mix for violent behaviour.


Wrong, the Church, through the guidance of the Holy Ghost, tells us what is sinful. Anything else is indifferentism, relativism, and Protestantism.


Dear Fr. Thomas J. Reese,
I have noticed you being a columnist for NCR on ‘Faith and Justice’, do not write about the CI (Catholic Institution) clergy sexual abuse of children.  However if you did write about it some other time(s), please, direct me to your writing(s), so I can be enlightened by your thought on this.   Unless of course, you think CI clergy rape of children is not a part of ‘Faith and Justice’ issues.  You seem to write about all other articles as though the biggest problem in CI does not exist!  Or is it your personal stone walling, as if you have nothing to do with CI’s devilish practices of insisting a right to use children as a sex slave for the clergies starting Pope F. & all his clergies!
You are responsible for what is happening in CI same as any Catholics especially if you are a priest whether you like it or not!  Since priest being single without children of their own could lack for their welfares!
I regard now, single men are not fit for a ordained priest!


Aside from the decent reporting of the issue, the number of typos and misspellings in this article seem inexcusable in today's age of computerized spell checking. Very distracting! I count over six outright spelling errors. Ouch!


This is so correct, anyone that can't see that the media is so unfair just can't see


If you're going to build anything then you should build it according to a standard and a well-thought-out plan.

Otherwise we can allow camping if the campers will take out the trash with them. Limit the number of campers to keep the aina in pristine condition.

We don't want the trash build up that homeless settlements create. Also have campers bring in their own fuel to avoid cutting down the forest for the wood.

No more than 3 days on the same site to preserve the aina. All latrines should be well covered to avoid spreading disease.

With a well managed Campground we could house hundreds of the homeless and they could do the state a favor (for no camp fees) by keeping the invasive species in check. A good example is this Devil Weed I've heard of which is difficult to control because of the hundreds of thousands of seeds that are dispersed from the plants.

The homeless can cut down the strawberry guava and carry them to collection points for disposal. Ranger can kill the stunps.


If by "great" you mean great disaster. Ideologues don't really govern all that well.


Nope, I'm not.


With four weeks left? You'd think that they would just say it's not working like this see you in a year.


This is promising as there still may be a legal way to keep Sarah out of Alaska, otherwise it's just Paul's Caucasian superiority complex showing.


I hope your crystal ball is correct less you suffer the embarrassment of being blatantly wrong.


How many would rescind their 1988 votes after watching free trade in action? Very, very few.  I am certain that tens of thousands of those who voted against the deal will have changed their minds by now.  Free Trade has been a key to our prosperity for a quarter century. The only people who want to get out of NAFTA are Americans. That doesn't bug me much. Both Tory and Liberal governments have followed that trade route. Even the NDP wouldn't have ended free trade with the U.S.A. if they had won the last election. It's worth too much. Why don't we loudly hear from the Canadians who are worried about our sovereignty because of free trade? Because there are so few. Prosperity abounds.
Let's be ready for the coming negotiations with the damned Yanks - like we were the last time.


What the heck is a ghost position?  Something made up on the books that never should have been their in the first place?


A lot of them are dealing with mental health issues and can't afford treatment or medication. And a lot of them are also veterans dealing with the same problem. There just isn't enough mental health and addiction treatment resources.  Many people slip through the cracks of a system that only wants to incarcerate them, not treat them, and serves to perpetuate their problems.


Yes...and I like nuts and am allowed to go out to eat them! There is no law against serving nuts.


VIP would prefer that the US be referred to as "The Motherland" or "Rodina" as it is in Russia?

 (Russian родина) means motherland

Stalin used that extensively as does Putin and virtually every leader of Russia in between!

This is the solution to all our problems?


Again, I never mentioned legalities. I mentioned what others have done, actions/boycotts I've supported. I support rights. Rights, laws, and ethics are all different things.

I'm done responding. Batman, laws, vague references to regulations, and more have been mentioned. My analogy has been called weak, but the level of "discourse" and focus on my actual perspective is at best superficial. Perhaps I'm wrong about this issue, I'll admit that I'm not right on every position but if I am wrong I'd appreciate an intelligent interchange that focuses on providing a counter argument to my position. Good day and a good weekend to you all! Best regards.


If you are going to engage in hypotheticals, how's this, one day you'll actually learn how to be a critical reader. One day you'll realize that the falling numbers happened because the dismal performance of Chow and, in fact, it's reversing. One day you'll realize that UH athletics depends on football revenues and existence of most other UH sports programs depends on it. One day you'll realize your assertion on injuries applies to ALL programs across the nation and to use that as a some end of the world "potential liability cesspool" for UH is beyond total nonsense.


Congrats, Clare-Marie.  Much luck in your future.  You'll go very far in life...


The 40% of fans in the GTA who have little use for the leafs represent a very small potential increase for the incumbents. This potential revenue can however be captured quite easily with the addition of a 2nd NHL team in the area at little cost to the leafs. The internal competition within the same city should generate a revenue spike for both.

Greater Los Angeles supports two NHL franchises where 95% of the population thinks ice is something for mixed drinks. Greater New York City supports three franchises.

Assuming the passion for hockey is as great in the GTA as it is in say Winnipeg, they should be able to sell 60,000 seats a game in the GTA based solely population metrics. That leaves two full 20,000 seats venues with an additional 20,000 still sitting out. Both Franchises would still benefit from economies of scale that dwarf other Canadian NHL markets.


"There were also signs that government investment may be kicking in as a stimulus to growth."


how typically crass, pointless, and less insightful of a comment, could we have expected any better from you when you've filled these pages with the same bile?


If their deeds do not match their words, their deeds show us who these hierarchs really are. They are not serious about dealing with the evil pedophile scandal. This is another reason why a future iteration of  Catholic Christianity will be one without  clergy.

Condolences and respect come cheap for Abe. Cheap and incredible.


Zero sympathy, just pietism.


The Doctors do not want to pay any income tax, and at the same time get higher income from the taxpayers and remain anonymous so that the taxpayers who fund their salaries never know who is bilking them.


they are a stupid people


GCI was looking for solutions to a fiscal crisis that threatens the future prosperity of Alaska. Most of the bloggers I see here are primarily concerned with their PFD being a large as possible and looking for "solutions" that don't impact themselves in any substantial way- or are simply in denial of the magnitude of the problem.. Obviously GCI failed to convince the unconvincable.


Donald Trump is the summation of the Republican party, its very quintessence. This party has been attacking the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for over half of the American population: women. They have successfully achieved their goal of killing American women in the state of Texas which enjoys the dubious distinction of having the highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world. As far as I'm concerned they are THE party of criminality, white supremacy and violence. Some of us have been paying attention to anti-abortion rights violence--pro-life terrorism. We know who's responsible and we are holding them responsible for their attacks on us.


They just don't make 'em like they used to.
When I was a kid every year around the end of July you'd see a kid with an unbelievable Roman candle facial injury, teen age boys with M-80 missing fingers, and all sorts of walking wounded, and angry mothers.
These silly whistle puffs today are unworthy of any dad's Zippo.
Doctor Bywater, who lived a corner away from us, told me about cutting dead skin out of kid's Roman candled mouth for over a year.
My Grandfather sent the princely sum of 100 dollars every year to Missouri for a box of explosives that would remain unopened until the appropriate day when we would once again awaken the Founding Fathers of our beloved country.
I had the best.
God bless this country and the rest of the world it resides in.


Where exactly are all of these racist statements and policies you think make up this cornerstone?


Our age is often called the Information Age.  A more fitting name might be the Disinformation Age.

Media has always been biased, and more than one whopper has been told in the past.  But over the last few years, truth seems to be either irrelevant or an afterthought for many.  The sad part is, as society becomes more polarized, fewer people seem to care.

Don't like Hillary?  She ran a child prostitution ring out of a pizza place!  Don't like Trump?  He's so far in bed with the Russians that soon we will be saying nazdrovyeh instead of Cheers!  Immigration a problem?  Sharia law is around the corner!  Climate change action will be inconvenient and expensive?  It's an ice age that's coming, not rising oceans!  CPC isn't your preferred alternative?  A woman's choice will soon be illegal!

The left and the right are both guilty of it, and it seems many either don't know -- or don't care.


The left can dish it out but can't take it. Cuck or racist, which is worse? I prefer snowflake, myself.


I simply cannot understand the Conservative strategy these days .Stephen Harper and Jason Kenney did  a fabulous job of attracting the immigrant/new Canadian vote for most of the life of the modern Conservative Party of Canada. That is why they were in power for close to 10 years. But for some reason they went off their strategy with Niqabs and Snitch lines etc. and now we have Canadian Values and concern about supporting Islamophobia.


Boots, you've gone off the rails again with your nonsensical slave holder statement.  The second amendment was put in place as a safeguard against government oppression and for self defense.


Sears 2016 third quarter had sales roughly equivalent to what Canadian spent last Christmas.  Every competitor will have to lower prices to make any sales....great for the materialistic consumer but lower revenues for everyone and less tax.....something Trudeau is against.....wonder if he will demand taxes on full retail...have to wait and see


The clerics (not the Church), under penalty of mortal sin, prescribes how women can use birth control medications and other procedures and in some case have sex after they do so. The clerics feel that having sex when such measures are in play is offensive to God. They also believe that you can't have sex and preside over Mass the next day (hence the requirement of celibacy) and having a woman preside scares them because women are the cause of sexual impurity in their eyes. This is called misogyny and the vast majority of the laity reject it (and some) of us even have sex before coming to Mass).


How nice for you and yours that you've all been spared from having to deal with the inefficiencies and inequities in the Canadian health care system. Who knew our system works so wonderfully and seamlessly? Maybe you should send a note to Trump and Pence (who reportedly spoke this week about the atrocious wait times in Canadian health care as something the U.S. must avoid) so they will stop raising the issue in their campaign against public health care.


Also, the state biologists are very important, too.  Ugotta B Kidding as stated.


Can you even own a gun in MA anymore?


Legislature won't pass a budget = Alaskans wanted Oil to take more of a hit, but the right won't let that happen. So the Gov. punishes the people by dipping into Alaskans share of our natural resources, which the sting would hopefully change up the votes next time around for a more left local government.

Remember it's not about the check you get ever year, it's a tangible between our natural resources and your vote. Alaskans have allowed the marketing around the PFD to distance ourselves from our natural resources.

I'm done being a Banana Republic.


Government is a little, but only a little different.   Your general hierarchy is correct even in government; the government jumps at the chance to get rid of the true ne'er do wells.   The just show up types are generally next.   It also happens in what passes for the private sector these days, but once you get past the obviously worthless ones, it becomes a much more subjective matter, and writing the right checks or sleeping in the right bed means a whole lot more in government.   What you describe is more true of small work units, even if they're a part of a big company.   I assure you a large corporation can contend with any government for inefficiency and general stupidity.   Big is generally bad, and the key to having a relatively efficient large organization is to have it divided into small and individually manageable work units.   If there isn't one person in charge, there is nobody in charge.


Not if there's fewer people in the area in total (than would otherwise be from attracting more in with high-density housing).  You keep failing to factor in that part.


Looks like all the Pedophiles joined the Churches.


his point is......RU stupid?

YES SIR!!!


I wouldn't shed a tear if someone throw acid at this c**ts face or took a straight razor to it. Granted those things are illegal, and can result in serious prison, though the prosecution wouldn't want me on that jury.


Sometimes (perhaps often) as technology advances we get too comfortable with what was. Cable TV has been around for a long time and an article like this awakens me to get back involved and get caught up. I found the article  informative, and felt it gave me confidence to talk with competing vendors in a more intelligent matter. Dealing with sales people will still be the major challenge, but perhaps it will help me get a better deal, at least temporarily.
The comment and explanation on pull and push technology added to my knowledge and I appreciate that.


Good point!


Rick. You rocked it. This Board of Game, BOG is So extreme because they only represent one small segment of the Population; hunters trappers and guides. No one else has any voice. So bottom line you have 85% of Alaskans with out a voice. It's well understood that when you have no balance on a rules making body You're going to get extreme policy. Take a look at the way the BOG has allowed Hunters and trappers to bait the iconic bears and wolves out of Denali National Park and kill them. This is total scandal and the public has been up in arms about this for years, but because there's no balance, they don't care about the views of Alaskans if they don't hunt or trap, so even though it's a no brainer, nothing is done. It's time for governor Walker to step in.


It gets better though.  Just 2 days after he defended the legacy media outlets because he claims these are "isolated incidents" (even though I demonstrated otherwise), they did it again.  Seriously.  2 days after they ran the fake news story about "Russian propaganda websites," they then published a fake news story claiming the FBI backed these preposterous claims.  No evidence was provided at any time.  No FBI official has ever gone on the record and confirmed this story, even though DNI director James Clapper (referred to in the media as "the intelligence community") who lied under oath to Senator Wyden while he was the NSA director and was subsequently promoted to DNI director after Edward Snowden and Glenn Greenwald (a real journalist, not pretend) exposed his lies, is on record, as well as CIA director John Brennan.

Why are they both on record when not even one single official from the FBI was able to corroborate this story?  Every major publication repeated this claim as fact.


How do you know if it isn't because the moderators are off duty now that most commenters have  moved on to newer articles?


I don't see anybody begging you to stay.  Since when are Catholics supposed to support a very, very bad man?


Nice to see a country looking after the interest of its citizens.  I guess Chinese politicians are much harder to bribe than Canadian politicians.

Cheers,
John Meyer


The sun came up, in the east as the world spins on it's axis...not because the suns revolves around the Earth. We elected the least qualified person over the most. Science and reason will trump marketing, maybe. And the party of no will need to become the party of ideas. I will work my ass off to assure that we stay focused, sane, rational and they do no harm.
But in the end "I want my country back" won. We shall see what this actually means in the next year.


2/2
The other accusations I've made against Trump are not impeachable or even triable, except in the court of public opinion.
I assert that Donald Trump is a bigot, and I provided some examples.
I assert that he is a liar, and I provided some examples. (I reject the defense that holds that Trump is not lying when he doesn't know the truth. It's a distinction without a difference. He's president of the United States. He is obliged to know the truth and tell it; and to acknowledge and apologize when he is wrong. Ignorance is no excuse.)
I assert that he is emotionally/mentally unstable; I cited the tweets, but there are so many examples.
Trump is the most pubic of public persons. It matters whether the president is a bigot, a liar and emotionally unstable. Do you think it does not matter?
Do you think he's a bigot, a liar and unstable?  If not, why not? How to you explain or defend the evidence?
Do you think there are better words to express these concerns? What words do you suggest?


There's the law, and there's common sense. In between is judgment. We hire human beings instead of robots because they're supposed to have judgment. In this case, the security staff, their supervisors, and police all lacked judgment. This is an 82-year-old, 5'2", 120-pound woman who obviously doesn't pose a threat. Her "crime" was minuscule. Her behavior was erratic but not threatening. She was obviously in distress. How much harm could she have done? A single officer with good judgment could have avoided this unfortunate incident. Auwe!


My takeaway: Donald Trump mopped the debate floor with Hillary Clinton.


Government forces CPP on us and our employer. Government limits the % we can contribute to RRSP's, they tax us into servitude to the government social planners, who are paid professional pillagers and we, the sheep abdicate our responsibilities to shape our political/financial destiny. Is it any wonder that we grab the money and run?


it's not so much that these people are a certain way, as the country has quietly agreed to do so damned little about it


That's OK.  Many in BC would like to separate from Canada as well.

But before you go thinking about some sort of western union, you need to understand that the main reason to separate from Canada is to get rid of Alberta and Albertans, who are lost in some sort of 1950's Conservative time warp where oil is king.


That Christ was male pales in significance to his being human. You are concentrating on a secondary attribute and missing the important one.


Agreed.

“There’s nothing better for a populist than a rich guy raising taxes on rich guys,” the magazine said Butts had told Bannon. Mid August, 2017.


True


So when the national debt doubles in the next few years because of decreased tax revenue,increased military spending, and general boondogglery, will you be sqealing about it?
St Reagan presided over a span of years that saw big tax cuts, tax increases  (that republicans ignore), and huge defense spending that helped doubled the national debt. So? Is it ok when a republican president adds to the debt?


Trump entrusted his campaign to a woman, Kelly Ann Conway.

That doesn't sound very bigoted.

She's in fact the first woman serving as a campaign manager to succeed in getting a president-elect.

Hats off to this woman!!  She didn't a quota.    Trump also should be congratulated for removing the glass ceiling for women and for trusting her.   Set the pace.


It's a bird ...it's a plane, no .... it's just a lawyer protecting the rights of an illegal alien.


Rather than pillory somebody for an assumed support of Wynne, you would be better to pillory the people who helped Brown come from nowhere to snatch the leadership, right (and I mean "RIGHT") out of nowhere.   How'd he do this?   By signing up new OPC members who want him to ban sex education and other hot button issues.

In another story, a 19 year old Brock University student got the nomination for the Niagara West Glanbrook by-election.   He labels himself a "19 year old social conservative".

Fronting the opposition party with social conservatives like Brown will guarantee that the Liberals get a free pass.


The lower Canadian dollar is preferred under prevailing domestic economic conditions.  If it cuts into your imports from the US and increases your exports anywhere, it will help our economy.


This will never end because our politicians only worry about the next 4-5years. Meanwhile the Imans worry about the next 400-500 years.


No, it's not worth it. These jackets aren't even high tech like patagonia or MEC. Don't waste your money.


There was nothing polite about the manner in which they are going about things. Watch the video and you will agree.


Corporations are OWNED by people, & they have a right to petition their government.
 The spending of money on politics is the very essence of free speech, i.e. putting ones money where their mouth is.
Now IF a corp. is able to buy a politician, would not the way of protecting free speech, & dealing with that problem, be to eliminate as much as possible just what the Pol. has jurisdiction over.
Example, enacting a flat tax on all net revenue, with nothing more than a personnel deduction.
 That change in, & of it's self would severely limit the favors the Pol has to sell.
 Limiting the size, & scope of the federal government would also go a long way in limiting just what a Pol. could do for a donor.
24 days !


In the US it stands for 'Questioning', in other parts of the world it can stand for 'Queer'.


As far as I can gather Psalms 145-150 and Psalms 114-118 were customary parts of the types of synagogue/local worship that Jesus would have been accustomed to on a regular, perhaps daily basis. Certain Psalms themselves contain repetitious elements (Psalm 118: "His steadfast love endures forever"). The Shema itself contains within it the command to recite it at least twice a day. Granted, Jesus probably didn't engage in something directly akin to the Rosary, repeating the same words 50 times in the span of 20 minutes but make no mistake He and the entire contingent of disciples would have been accustomed to praying certain prayers every day.


HA ha ha ha ha ha! I needed a laugh first thing this morning. Always easier to say some version of "sorry", we made a mistake, we'll make amends and do better. NOPE. This outfit does NOT deserve sympathy. If they screw up on the "little things" what will they do when their next leak turns out to be oil? No This is just a sappy appeal to the public.


I am being civil.  I'm sorry if you're offended by my stating my opinion, but this is the way I see this issue, and it would be intellectually dishonest of me to say otherwise.


There are no such references to global warming or climate change in this article. Also, your high school science classes taught you nothing necessary to understanding global geophysics, and that's why you believe the snow in Maine compensates somehow for the record temperatures here.


Libs putting on their brown shirts for the World to see.


Amen. You know they are grooming her.


Wait a second....I thought Alaskans mentioned that as long as we have more guns that we will be safer but now we have the 2nd worst year for murders. So weird....must be Obama's fault? No wait must be Walker's fault? No wait must be the summer's fault? Oh that is right it is arming every Tom, Dick, and Harry.   I am sure you will rebuttal with the usual arguments about how I am an idiot and different types of name callings.  Hell someone yesterday dropped their gun on the road in Kenai and simply forgot about it. Another left one in the grocery store, and another forgot it in the bathroom at Fred Meyers. That is responsibility my friends.  Keep the bullets flying and make sure you go out and get yourself another hand cannon because it sure has shown to make us safer. (Insert mass amounts of sarcasm in tgat last part)


It is unclear to me that ANY party has taken any steps to remove partisanship in the Senate.

They might have removed words, but it remains far from clear to me if they have removed partisanship.

Besides removing partisanship now means that Senators are COMPLETELY unaccountable.  At least with a partisan Senate you can hold them to account by proxy via the party that appointed them.  The last thing we need in our Senate is even less accountability.


How about the MILLIONS of innocent Muslims blown to bits by US and NATO bombs over the last thirty years?

Clear thinker?

Who are you kidding ...


I was joking about a sign.   But we're in an era where pastors don't lead, and don't guide parishioners in what's proper decorum inside church.   Talking before mass is one thing.    Don't even get me started on attire.


Thanks for the article Charles!  I've known John See for a long time; he is a dedicated force for prevention.  I've also seen some of the computer sims on a nasty, wind driven fire in Anchorage and it is truly frightening.  It gets to a point where no amount of fire fighting resources are going to contain it.  Another point regarding the Hillside is there are lots of subdivisions that only have a single road in and out.  We built a quick and dirty sprinkler system for a last ditch defense for a cabin  in the face of the Sockeye Ave fire last year.  If I had a Hillside house I would have the same setup there.  The system was fire up and leave, made an 80 foot wet circle around the cabin.  Good as we could do and lucked out when the fire turned.


I can understand your frustration. What perplexes me is that just a few short years ago, Gara and others in the Democrat party used to tout the very generous credits offered in the previous tax structure. They used to praise how profits were incentivized to be re-invested in Alaska instead of being shipped off to London or Houston. Like today, they had to spend a lot of money within to earn the credits.

And you sir are the latter with comments like that! I hope you were making these comments when the Democrats put Obamacare in place in the first place?

Nancy Pelosi did warn us that we wouldn’t find out what was in ObamaCare until Congress passed it into law.


I think if ur making a move, this year is it.  2 trades before Mar 1 for 2 big players.  Shattenkirk and Duchesne would be nice not?  I will let you tell me who to get rid of but Markov is not doing much and one guy up front. Not Pach....


That's right. Immigration is highly unnecessary. High immigration like we have had has been a detriment to Canada. We can in Canada grow our population domestically at the replacement rate, and do even better than Japan, without immigration, or with low immigration. Because we have more resources and are better located than Japan. That's the best way forward for Canada by far. Substantially decreasing our immigration rate will improve our economy and will get Canadians better jobs. Nothing matters more than decreasing immigration.


'
Donald Trump has announced that on December 15 he will hold a press conference to reveal to the world his plan to address the many conflicts of interest between his vast business empire and his new role as president.

Trump has indicated that he will remove himself from the daily “business operations” of the Trump Organization—but not sell off his holdings or create a truly blind trust.

Ethics experts have criticized this approach because … he would not be separating his presidential decision-making from his own personal financial circumstances.

Yet, arguably, the biggest conflicts he faces aren’t related to what he owns.

Rather, they relate to what he owes.
.
.
As could be expected, Trump canceled his press conference and went into hiding.

It depends on the facts of each case, which is a truism you apparently reject.


The US is hardly on the 'high ground' ethically with our history of assassinations, regime changes, etc.

The CIA has been killing and meddling for decades.  Iran, Chile, Cuba, the list goes back from at least the 1950's until today.


It's been obvious for some time that Kellie Leitch's unfortunate campaign has been the product of Mr. Kouvalis'  nasty mind and his penchant for lowering the bar below zero if he thinks it might win an election. It's good to see him go.


It comes down to what more and more people are thinking---- DUMP TRUMP!


granted, yes, this is not a troll. i still think it presumptuous to anoint oneself defender of the faith in the combox of a catholic publication.
the notion that conversations need to be overseen and corrected by a catechism wielding rigorist for the salvation of the souls of the readers is ridiculous.


Well Governor, If we are actually about to spend 1.2 Billion on K12 education and the municipalities are still being expected to match that amount with a goodly amount of their own funds, perhaps we have found some room for cuts.

Considering how small the student population is on our state that is a huge amount of funding.


I agree!

I posted this link initially in another NCR article on autism....

I rather agree with Michael's comment that this type of budget proposal is not unusual by rep presidents....

BUT what is unusual is the toxicity of THIS president! I think it's absolutely imperative to keep the pressure on republican Congresspersons...relative to health issues et al that Trump is up to...and I think the Indivisible folks are definitely on the right track...

The Spring recess is coming up and I deeply hope that folks are visiting their reps in their district offices, and at those home town meetings and calling a lot at both the district and D.C. Level as well as sending written messages...I am seriously considering a sizable billboard contribution as a group is now organizing such...and I want these guys very very aware of just what a lousy set of priorities this gross president has!

I note that NETWORK is  now providing phone numbers and talking points as are many other groups.


People of German descent are notorious racists, well known for their cruelty.   Have you forgotten WWI and WWII??

Just look at how white she is.  Adolph Hitler would have admired her greatly.

You obviously don't have much experience with people of German descent.   They are a very mean and racist people.  How else do you think that someone like Hitler was able to take over the country??

So the argument is, because the background check system is weak and flawed, there should not be any attempts to fix it?? About the same number of Americans now die by firearms as die in traffic accidents. I guess we should scrap our traffic laws too as using the same logic, they appear to be flawed too. The second amendment states that a WELL REGULATED State militia has the right to bear arms. What part of the term "well regulated" do gun rights advocates not understand?


His lawyers make this guy sound like a saint, wanting to 'bring transparency' to the game.

Not.  He turned on his buddies rather than go to jail when he got caught.  Until that time he lived like a bearded, fat king on bribes and kickbacks.  This is the kind of scum that should be rooted out and sent to rot in jail.  Period.

I was interested in this article until I realized it was written by Canadians.....thanks for the maple syrup. Canada, the most irrelevant country in the developed world. Don't worry Canucks, we'll continue to provide the blanket of security under which you sleep, you keep on doing whatever it is that Canada does.


You left out the Reagan Recession when unemployment hit near 11 percent, worse at its peak than the Bush-GOP Great Recession of 2007-09. Look one more time at the charts I posted. These are facts, and you can cheery pick snapshots in time but the overall trends are indisputable. The economy always fares better under Democratic administrations than Republican ones.


Lucky us...we got the cream of the crop. As evidenced by Grabauskas...


The IRS has a huge responsibility to disclose both candidates tax filings and any shenanigans they used to hide swindling the federal government. It appears that Trump has been let off the IRS penalty hook so many times that he's of the belief he's entitled to do as he pleases at taxpayers' expense.  Trump needs to be jailed.

Often I withhold or soften my criticism or avoid certain issues. But the elevation to cardinal while the institution is still a dictatorship and with no reform of chauvinism in sight, is something so high profile and so flagrant, it invites judgement. Dennis, you got me thinking.

It is amusing, and sad actually, that Trump supporter think embarrassing himself and the country equals "put these liberals in they place."


I love the article. i would love to see those tracks.


Our health care system is so inefficient now, in large part because we persistently underinvest in (primordial and primary) prevention... and that's not something that most (not all) doctors are particularly good at... A lot of the drivers of ill health lie outside of the health sector and that's where we need to invest our efforts (not necessarily huge sums of $ per citizen). Health care will always a bottomless pit of money and many doctors will fight hard to get the most $ out of the system... whether or not it serves the public interest. Time to get serious about creating supportive environments for health, or everything will get privatized within 20 years!

The real benefit of an income tax will not be in the money raised: what it will do is make people begin pointing out the wasteful expenditures of state government and demand these be eliminated. Right now with nobody paying, these expenses get paid with no negative input.


Automation is absolutely not a bad thing, and is necessary for future increases in productivity and prosperity. But there are social problems with the transition, as workers are displaced and in some cases cities become hollowed out. This needs to be taken seriously.

Economic theory says that removing the need for low-productivity jobs frees up resources to move to higher-productivity jobs, and to some extent it works -- e.g. consider that it is far cheaper and easier to hire landscaping and cleaning services in third world countries than in first world countries. But there are pretty significant questions as to how well this will work going forward, whether our education system is equipped to improve our workforce that much, how long it takes for demand to ramp up for the higher productivity work, etc.


"…the landmark social welfare program of a generation…"

Steady on. The real irony here is that Obamacare is really Romneycare.

Democrats, or at least those who were not owned by the insurance industry, initially wanted a single-payer model for health care not unlike Canada's. However, when it became clear early in Obama's mandate that that was not going to happen, Democrats pivoted back and proposed instead a version of the moderate Republican approach to healthcare, which was based on the program developed by Romney when he was Governor of Massachusetts.


I was bemused by Sessions telling Oregon Senior Jaw Flapper Wyden to stop the innuendo and fact lacking accusations.   As the one time Congressman Coleman's Chief of Staff,  John Jackley,   noted in his book on "Blowing the lid off of Washington DC",  getting between Congressman Wyden and a tv camera was akin to getting between a grizzly sow and her cubs.  The Pontificator in Chief was well into his vitriol of a thrice bar exam failing UO law school grad,  when Attorney General (#1 Govt lawyer---bar exam passing law school grad) Sessions put Wyden  in his place.  I doubt that any Wyden recommendation for US Attorney for Oregon will be met with much enthusiasm.  Maybe Walden has a few names of non stalkers,  and  not buffoons to offer.  The Obama Justice Dept sent 45 FBI special SWAT and SERT teams to Oregon to put down the Bundy Kerfuffle and it took Killer Kate to get one killed,  and when the smoke cleared a year later,  a felony and a few misdemeanor convictions.  Hubba hubba.


I rest my case! I'm glad you agree. LOL
BTW, I live here but own businesses in other states. Too bad Hawaii get's almost nothing out of me. They chose their fate!


The working class votes for Republicans because of the key word "working" class. We know that the left will do two things: 1.) punish those who are willing to work to provide for their families by taking our wealth and handing it out in welfare transfer payments 2.) vilify us for exercising our natural and constitutional freedoms. This is nothing more than an extension of the Cold War, applied to American and Alaskan government. I can vote for a party that will take most of what I have and give it to others while enslaving me, or I can vote for a party that values work and personal responsibility, which will ensure my independence and liberty. Socialism or Freedom. You can't have both.

"State interference" is a term free market fundamentalists use when they mean "rich people should be a law unto themselves".

And no, never in all history has a lack of "state interference" reduced inequality - histories greatest inequalities have consistently been associated with insufficient, not excessive, regulations. And only ever been corrected *by* regulations, taxes and social upliftment programs.

It's no surprize that, the greatest wealth production in the history of the richest country on earth, and history's single greatest upliftment of a people (producing the first society ever where the middle class outnumbered the poor - and by a huge margin) happened during F.D.R's New Deal era - probably the closest the USA ever came to serious 'socialism'*

Big price tag compared to what?  It's a tax.  Here's some others.

Sales tax discourages buying.  Personal income tax discourages work.  Capital gains tax discourages investment.  Payroll taxes discourage hiring.  Carbon tax discourages burning carbon.

They all are a cost to some and government revenue source, but one of these taxes is not like the others.


There is a simple electoral reform that allows voters to choose their candidates (and their government) in the full knowledge of who they are electing. Hold the election as you normally would under FPTP. When the results come in, hold a run-off election two weeks later between the two top candidates.  The candidate who wins the run-off has 50% (or more) of the vote and voter legitimacy. And the bonus is the voters have specifically chosen that candidate.

Don't be so disingenuous. You are way smarter than that and you know quite well who "called names", and labeled millions of people as criminals or terrorists based on their ethnicity or religion.  Not to mention who mocked people with disabilities, or for their weight, or for not being "attractive" enough to assault sexually. Trump supporters may try to pretend that they aren't bigoted or hateful towards those of different ethnicity, race, or religion, but it becomes very hard to explain away how easily they overlooked the hate spewed by Trump and his supporters at almost every rally and speech and supported him anyway.

The information at hand does indeed show what eglabus has cited and many of us believe those attitudes to be deplorable. Hillary made a political mistake in naming the truth,  but the truth remains truth.

NAFTA is the same agreement for 3 countries, same wordings. But only the U.S. blames it for its troubles. The blame lie with U.S. implementation, not the agreement. Their law-makers chose to run NAFTA solely to benefit the corporations, by deregulating them, by not taxing them for their enhanced profits.

Trump is playing the blame game on trade. He wants to change NAFTA, not Mexico or Canada.  It's up to him to submit his complaints. If we agree there is substance we can decide to negotiate. Else we walk. It's up to him to either withdraw his complaints or withdraw from NAFTA.

If Trump decides to withdraw he faces his people with all the consequences. Let him tell Americans they will have more and better jobs without NAFTA.

If Ottawa decides to negotiate, the modified agreement, or a completely new agreement, MUST be approved by the people via election or referendum. Ottawas today does not have a NAFTA mandate.

It is a disgrace. And, please, don't absolve the insurance companies. Thanks to our useless political leaders: U.S. Senators Murkowski and Sullivan, Rep.

Try this on for size: a good friend of mine, same age, breast cancer survivor, just got her policy for 2017, on the exchange, in Seattle: 236.00 per  month, and that includes dental. My "small group" policy for myself and employees through PREMERA BLUE CROSS WILL BE a 12% increase ( an even crappier policy)so around 1025.00 per person per month with high deductible. If we had kept our "grandmothered" policy (like the way they slipped that in) it was going to be a 30% +premium increase. A trip to PROVIDENCE emergency a couple of years ago demonstrated that I was paying for my trip, as well as someone else's care.

"For passive investment income to provide an advantage over and above what is available to every Canadian through RRSPs and TFSAs, a business owner needs to earn more than $150,000"

I find it very disingenuous for the Minister to make such misleading statements. He knows that Small Business Owners use their business savings as both the emergency fund for the business and as their retirement savings. If a business owner pulls all the savings out of the business and into a personal RRSP, that money is no longer available to the business to get it through a downturn. Small business owners really do put everything into their businesses, including using their retirement savings as the businesses emergency fund.

From what I read on other news sites and the Court's petition he was paying taxes and not just recently started to pay taxes. He also tried to get his citizenship through out the years which is why the Obama administration allowed him to stay so long as he did not get into any criminal altercations. Looks like he was stopped twice (?) for DUI the last time 14 years ago. At most he paid a fine no probation or anything. He allowed the UH and Dept of Ag use the land to study for the past 5 years free of charge to combat the bore bug.  I know he don't pick all them beans by himself. So he actually created jobs or at least sustained jobs. He's been creating and maintaining an exported product of Hawaii. I'm surprised Donald Trump didn't step in. I for one hope that he returns quickly and maybe even sponsor a new local Michoacan restaurant, and when you are done eating your yummy dish top it off with locally grown espresso. I'll take an island hop to eat at that restaurant.

Steven, I give you the proper terminology and can list for you 154 peer reviewed studies dating back to 1942. You obfuscate and refer to 154 peer reviewed studies as an "irrelevant mess" .  Your cognitive dissonance is extremely strong or you simply choose to lie.  Typical lobbyist attempt to discredit every thing opposing your talking points.

All synthetic fluorides are toxic, and naturally occurring calcium fluoride is benign in comparison (in trace amounts of course, since too much of a good thing is no longer a good thing).  Sodium fluoride is the most expensive synthetic fluoride, and is used the least in U.S. water supplies. The other two more toxic types are used the most in the U.S. water, which should not surprise anyone that they are also the cheapest. Even though sodium fluoride is the least toxic synthetic fluoride, this type has been studied extensively, and associated with many adverse health problems.

Remember Steven, 154 peer reviewed studies, 154 since 1942.

"We the people" were the ones who voted the leadership into office (Except me, I didn't vote for any of them). Those elected officials promulgated the rules under which they would administrate public safety issues. If you have a desire to, then talk w/ your friends and colleagues; gather a group of like minded persons and effect the change you want in the next election. These "rules" on how, when, where, and under what conditions public safety, public information management, resource control have been in place for decades. If you've publicly stated your opposition to the administrative state rules prior to this article, great. But if you haven't, they didn't "just show up". You can ask CB editorial board about "ground rules" when journalists are provided non-attributable information for background uses in articles and stories. If you REALLY have the desire, then your first stop should be the state's communication director.  I'll even give you a hint:  State's Plan???  (no moa brah)


Mr. Carney recommends that corporations take a longer view of their investment plans than the short term planning of most governments whose horizons are only up to the next election. If we're serious about reducing GHG to meet 2050 targets we have to urge governments to provide leadership to reduce our polluting ways. However, there are many climate scientists who feel the whole effort is futile as we've already reached the tipping point and increasing the temperature by two+ degrees is inevitable. The future of mankind will undoubtedly be 'adapt or die'.


So, basically, with this scheme, if the producers don't make a profit, we have to pay the difference with reduced services and income taxes?  Well, there's your legislature, in a nutshell, working diligently on your behalf:  As long as you're an oil producer with many, many lobbyists.

Hopefully Merkel will implement tough new truck control measures, making it harder for the unstable and mentally ill to have access to trucks so easily.  Germany is a truck culture so it will not be easy.

I also suggest she take on the National Truck Association to help rid the country of truck nuts.  These are the same nuts that think more trucks will result in less truck violence.

Also, if you limit the amount of trucks law-abiding truck owners can have in their possession, this will result in fewer stolen trucks being used to commit violent acts.  This is how a progressive mayor in Canada's largest city will tackle the problem of violence.

No one needs these large high-capacity trucks anyways, who goes hunting with that big of a truck?

It's the progressive way to control violence.

Unusually, Margaret, you are behind the times on this research. Yes, Implicit Association Tests are considered accurate. But if you try to see if this affects real-world decisions of those studied; the answer is not at all. NOT AT ALL, for those not listening. In other words, the IAT is an interesting tool that helps us identify the race of a subject (or other parameter if you design the test that way) but it doesn't show how test-takers behave in the real world.  It seems there is no correlation between IAT results and real-world behaviour.  All it seems to mean is that anyone taking the test recognises 'others' in the most basic sense (which may be hard-wired into their brains by evolution) but when faced with real-world challenges they easily overcome that and don't discriminate.
Even you, Margaret, have hard-wired biases. But you can easily overcome them with learned common sense and fairness. Thinking overcomes inbuilt bias. That's reality, but might not make an article.

If this seizure of more than half of the PFD was truly temporary - with a sunset clause - & if we saw a clear route to removing all use of PFD monies for state spending in the future, with a steady return to the current system as the revenues from oil increase ... well, I might be less disgusted.  But many questions remain: What happens after the 3 year sacrifice of more than 50% of the PFDs?  (My guess is that more confiscation of PFD funds will be undertaken) How do we ever pry our government's fingers off the PFD, once we let them touch it.
   This confiscation of PFD money from each Alaskan will result in about $730Million less the state spends, about the same amount the State pays BigOil in the unconscionable tax credits. That really stinks!
   The  current oil taxation schemes need to be overhauled in favor of Alaska. All mega projects should be shelved. All State salaries & bones should be reduced.


A callousness towards the suffering and drawn-out death of the most vulnerable is a mere reflection of what these people are capable of towards humans.


That is the mantra of both major parties. Clinton's campaign was riddled with scandals from before and even during. Now the excuse is blame Russia? seriously? How about blaming the DNC members that SENT the emails... How about blaming the people that were successfully hacked for being "low hanging fruit".

*cough* *cough*
It doesn’t matter what the friggin’ legal and ethics people say, we need to win this motherf_____ ~ Scott Foval?

I didn't read where they had proof that Trumps campaign was involved.  If they were, we should do something about it... If not, maybe the DNC should vet their candidates a little better? Maybe bring a candidate that people actually want instead of rigging the options? I find it very interesting that the folks in the emails are so disgusting when they think no one is listening.


New study shows 36% of Americans are extremely unintelligent and completely incompetent.


Sadly it is you that needs a dictionary.  Just remember that the military will feed, house, cloth, and give its members an exercise program besides a pay check.  It is government funded, not private industry, so yes it is socialism.


<3 THIS!  Thanks for the chuckle! My sentiments EXACTLY!  Cheers!


"But political correctness is silly, nothing more. It starts with a humane instinct, not to offend, and takes it too far. The response is to educate. For example, unless all lives matter, at any given time, any particular group's lives are in danger of not mattering. Put differently, unless all lives matter, black lives do not matter, and unless black lives matter, all lives do not matter. The response is not to create a political movement whose principal object is to be offensive."

"...a political movement whose principle object is to be offensive." ??? MSW, I am starting to worry for you.


During the first decade plus of this century, Portland added hundreds of thousands of people and jobs without seeing any increase in automobile traffic. The exception proves the rule here; more people does not necessarily mean more congestion. It really depends on several factors. Unfortunately, Eugene is failing on all of those factors.

Our roadways are so uninviting to walk and cycle on that we have lost 37% of our cyclists back into cars over the past six years. I wonder if we will ever have any traffic law enforcement or sensible traffic diversions and signal cycles. Heck, I'd settle for not being harassed by the drunks who are living on the bike paths.

Our mass transit system is a near-complete failure. We have encouraged the placement of nearly all our destination shopping facilities to near-freeway locations and we never but never do anything to inhibit the driving of the suburbanites.

We have tremendous potential, but our reality is no where near it.


Drumpf says the alt Tpubs "won't own it, we won't own it I can tell you that" and scapegoat the left for the failure of the right. They had 8 years to get a plan in place if they win. The altrightpubs were in on the Obamacare discussion and got over 100 amendments in the bill that became the law.
The Altrightpubs control the White House, Senate and the house. They don't need the left to pass their garbage and cram it through the process till it becomes law. They could just do a smash and grab and repeat. Transfer wealth from the poor to the very wealthy. 50K a year if you earn 1M
Yet the right blames the left for not helping kill Obamacare. If the left met the right halfway, Obamacare would be dead. Therefore, according to the altrightpub scream machine, the Democrats are guilty of obstruction. Because the 8 years since Obamacare was born and full altrightpub control of the government today are fake outraged at Obama and friends (Dems/Indy) for not killing his/their signature law.


Another cause could be enbridge being sensitive to interest rates increase


He was not asked the question in that context - And why would he attempt to conceal something that is so easily impeached and known. Frankenfreak was asking him about that ridiculous Russian report, and you might be surprised how I would react. I am 10000% in favor of investigations - it is the lies in the media I cannot stand.


Sooo, for the approximate 1% of the market driven by speculators, the other 99% of us shmucks who own one or two rental properties, we pay the price at the capital gains tax desk?

I don't know the actual ratio but it can't be much more than that.

Not fair. Hope the feds don't go for it.


Yep, that is true but to say taxes didn't go up is disingenuous. They did go up but not the tax rate. I'm not passing judgment on whether this is a good or bad thing just pointing out why the initial statement wasn't entirely accurate.


I agree, this new comment site stinks.


As another poster said, it is fine when liberals refer to conservatives as fascists, but insulting a leftoid is not permitted.


With very good reason.   This is an example of a lifetime of altering the brain.  Here is is going off during an interview with Townhall on 30Aug.
https://youtu.be/_hoM_TfkCcI


Cultural protection and the questions of global capitalism in regards to the developed nation worker's cannot be expressed as a skit. It requires a deep thinker or as in Trump's case, a lot of experience and a altruist assertion. Especially in Canada which I believe is why The Rebel and Leitch failed. To mimic Trump up here is not how to sell the same message. To his credit, Harper was the ONLY one I've ever seen to successfully sell bits of cultural protection ever if he was fully on board with the multinationalists.
Social conservatism in an age of weakened borders and assimilation problems is all but a joke which leaves Sheer in no man's land. And to try to compete with Trudeau (who is moving centre more) in a personality contest is surely doomed from the start.
We don't have a populist movement up here and we may never. But to assert the progressive status quo with all it's unintended consequences by shooting down the free speech dissenters amounts to nothing but utter loathe.


This was one specific action of many, including a 60-day suspension similar to Obama's.


Hint: oceans.


Women still avoid plumbing , carpentry, dry wall, roofing and road asphalt like they are too good to do that sort of work.


Your comment is ridiculous and you obviously know very little about sports and are no doubt are a Trump supporter. This was a planned stunt by Pence as orchestrated by Trump. And at quite a cost to taxpayers.  Last time I checked, this was a scheduled game between the Colts and 49'ers. The 49'ers were one of the first teams to have black players kneel in protest against racism and police brutality. Pence knew that players on San Francisco's would kneel.

Players have the right to protest during the National Anthem whether you agree or not. Personally, I would remove the playing of the National Anthem for all games, period. But the actual participation of players kneeling was down to a few players a game until Trump looked to score points for his hungry red base.


Here.  Justin is totally appropriate.
The same thing was done legally by Hugo Chavez.

And attributing that to me...and then saying it makes me a joke...(whatever)

I just want to state: this is beautiful!
Despite, and IN-spite of all the comments that have been moderated out of conspicuous existence (whether or not they were civil and or challenged the financed  narratives), look at the BEAUTY of the sheer volume of comments here! This is Great! And for all the diversity is our strength and "not my Canada" rhetoric - intended to corral us into a 'secured' stable of thought incidentally favored by the ruling class of the day - this kind of outpouring of opinion on a subject like this : that's MY Canada! I saw a wonderful interview of Kelly Leitch by Mark Steyn yesterday, and the mass of comments here reflects much of what they were talking about: don't just sit back or roll-over when the Government does something that YOU think runs counter to True Civil Decency - speak, comment, challenge, debate, argue, fight (with words)... If there IS a Canada friends, that's it!


Come on. Manure is at least useful!


today i stood up for americans not falling for this useless scam deal that accomplishes nothing for anyone other than those who get to fly around to all these meetings living high on the taxpayer! , the climate is just fine, since there is no proof mans carbon is doing anything to heat the climate it would be insane to tax our economy downward over a lie.. ..  and in case anyone would like to understand science of this i offer a few links to educate the left wing sheep

That you don't care for exact quotes from people you are intent on dismissing is not lying.  But indulging in character assassination as you are doing here?  Yup.


Here's more reporting about the situation in Aleppo and Syria from an actual journalist who has actually been in Aleppo:
https://youtu.be/p7_wpr_lLLg
Journalist Vanessa Beeley provides further refutations of the Western media's Syria propaganda as being "lowest of the low," "obscene," and "a mountain of lies." And that is once again coming from an actual journalist who has actually been in Aleppo. Vanessa calls Syria an external and dirty war, rather than a civil war.
Vanessa Beeley also says in the video I linked-to above the same as Canadian journalist Eva Bartlett (who also has been in Aleppo) - that most people in East Aleppo have not even heard of "White Helmets," while one man claimed to Vanessa that White Helmet deliberately killed his daughter. Other people claim that White Helmets didn't help anybody out of rubble, but told people to dig themselves out. Others say that White Helmets stole jewelry off their bodies and left them covered in rubble.


No question that modern-day conservatism is white supremacist?  Oh, for Heaven's sake, go out and meet some conservatives, will ya?  Please.

And right-wing conservatives oppose racism and white supremacy too.  We just believe in teaching people how to fish and stocking the fish pond instead of just giving them a fish every day, regardless of race.


Cost to the State of Alaska for people who must appease TSA or a military base to get their own passports:  $0.
Cost to the State of Alaska to implement REAL ID so those same people can appease TSA and military: $2 million+.

Why are we even discussing this waste of money while supposedly having a fiscal crisis?  If you want to or have to bow to the threats of the federal government for your job or your personal travel needs, get a passport, rather than asking the State of Alaska to spend millions, risk the privacy of others, inconvenience especially the elderly and others who cannot produce the required original documents for REAL ID, and give up all control over future changes/costs of state licenses/IDs by giving up its own regulatory power over state ID cards.  Let's call this what it is, a national ID card, and let's use the existing, available federal passport to satisfy that demand, rather than forcing states to pay for a national ID.


I would like to respond to Mike Brooks but I do not see his complete response to the above comment I posted 3 hours ago. He apparently stated that a gay couple cannot have real sex but what they really have is sodomy. I assume that Mike considers sodomy a sin. Does he also consider oral sex a sin? To me anything done between two people that results in an orgasm is sex.


Trumpers actually see all that glitter and gold at Trump Tower and think they are all members to that lifestyle now that they voted Trump in. I wonder, if they showed up what would happen to their Trump Tower membership?...#MAGA


I certainly agree on the 3 lanes not being enough.  As for the price-gouging comment though, it costs a LOT of money to build roads.  Gotta pay for them somehow.

Then again, rail costs a LOT of money too, yet fares only recover 30% of those costs.  They ought to make users of that pay for the same % that users of toll roads are forced to pay for.


Come on.

Give us another separatist referendum.

Half of English Canada would campaign for the PQ.

Including me.

I hate being a second class citizen..


Nor if your were from Africa.

The true, "I will always hate white people" are found primarily in the United States.

About the only more racist group(s) in the world that I have come across in my travels are the Chinese and the Japanese.

They, at least, have millennia of history to justify their attitude of superiority to the rest of the world.

The black Africans in the US primarily have their professional victimhood.

And the Asians tend to excel when measured against all of us in the United States, no matter what color we happen to be.


Based on the title doesn't that also mean that half the public trusts Trump more than CNN?


Here is another case of Canada toadying to the wishes of the U.S. government. Canada has no foreign policy of it's own, but is rather dictated to by the U.S. through the pretense of being a member of NATO as well as other mechanisms.  I think it is pretty clear to everyone that Canada has become a vassal state to the U.S.,  I just wish it wasn't so obvious.


And when they can't get enough readers to say it is uncivil it just gets disappeared - see my other post on that here in this article's comments.


I was raised a Christian and I don't understand the outrage at all. Forcing ALL children to repeat the Lord's Prayer, no matter what their religion, is clearly not going to work. However, allowing students to voluntarily gather in an unused classroom to discuss their religion is not unreasonable.


Trent

as to ...'When St Thomas wrote of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist "...

I wonder how many people understand the Aristotelian Philosophy that St  Thomas Acquinas used?

Not sure that I do; but as far as I can figure, that Latin 'substantia' has not quite the same meaning as our English word 'substance' or 'substantial'.

'Sustantia', in that philosophy, is a mental category. Eg. –Something you sit on is a 'chair'. But if you take 4 chairs , attach them together, and remove the center arms so that 4 or 5 people sit on it, then you have 'trans-substantiated' those 'chairs' into a 'bench'. You have a different 'mental category'.

That's what  St.Thomas means by 'tran-substantiation'. The bread and wine of the Eucharist become 'consecrated' bread and wine and so a communion with, and remembrance of,  the sacrificed, risen, glorified Jesus – body and  blood, soul and Divinity. The mental category has changed.

Our English 'substance' carries a different connotation.


Sorry, but that's no excuse for being a Nazi.

The complaint of supremacists is not that they have lost rights, but that so many minorities have gained rights. They see it as a loss of their special privilege.

And they're right, it is and it should be. But they never explain why they are so special they deserve extra privileges.


Do you have a fetish regarding human manure?  You plan to change your own diapers in the senility ward,  which is surely where you are headed if you don't choke on your own bile first?  YOU eventually will load those diapers and I hope no one is around to powder your bottom.


Lets see, mass attack in a shopping mall? Did you not see the news about the stabbings at a shopping mall in Minnesota awhile back?


Obamacare, when passed using reconciliation had nothing but the spending and taxing included, everything else came after the bill was passed and signed into law. There were 10,000 pages of rules and regulations none of which can be addressed in the Republican bill because they are using the reconciliation process. There was zero possibility of passing any new and complete healthcare reform bill using regular procedure, because Democrats would never agree to starting over and creating a truly bipartisan reform bill as long as Obamacare existed.
Bottom line a 2000 page bill and another 10,000 pages of rules and regulations can't just be tweaked or fixed, not if you actually want to call it bipartisan. But then again Democrats don't care about bipartisanship and that is why Trump is President and Republicans control both houses of Congress.


Let's assume that Putin has an axe to grind regarding Christopher Steele, an ' intelligence expert' on Putin's Russia and wanted to set him up for  discreditation...taking down Orbis with him...then feeding him good information laced with false information related to Trump was a good way of doing it.

Steele is in hiding, there is chaos in the USA, Hillary gets destroyed with  the new US President placed in a difficult situation preoccupied with fighting  off the false news with Putin's intelligence  feeding the fires with further false information through social media at will.


Why has TMT never been on a ballot? I'd guess it would get pretty clear support from the citizens of the state and Big Island. I believe both that the native culture should be respected and supported, but also that science on this level is a great boon to the island and the world. Find a balance and a solution that meets the needs of all reasonable people.


more likely Bannon is just evil and doing his best to recreate the world in his own image.  he is searching for power and money and to fulfill his racist fantasies of a place where the rich white people make all the rules and everyone else is their servant/slave/serf.


Fine with me. The NAACP can go the way of the Klan for all I care.

These old race baiting and divisive organizations have no place in American any more.


There are a LOT of variations of "Chinese"


goatie swallowed everything those three spewed.


Babies produced in response to economic incentives and less competition in the labour market place ... gee, what could go wrong with that?


crookwell will go after anybody that cant fight back for his tainted money


I don't know why you're talking about cupping and the prime minister.  I've had cupping, as part of a treatment for a back spasm along with a massage.  I don't know/think that it helped, but it didn't hurt.  It's not like he's going around telling people not to vaccinate their kids, or that a spoonful of cider vinegar a day will cure cancer.  Better we have a PM who cups than a President who drunk-tweets.


walking your dogs is always a good idea


Begetting children is not a requirement for a canon law marriage.  Willingness is, but it is impotence, not sterility, that is the bar.  The term cry to heaven for vengeance is sloganeering, not doctrine and it applies to pederasty, not consensual sodomy.  Cry all you want, at some point natural law rears its head and says that gays were born that way due to epigenesis in the womb and that they have every right to sexual expression that any human has.  Ratzinger's opinion on the made up natural order notwithstanding.


Not unless the US needs a war!


What did I post that was spin?


Isn't being Christian about loving people and tolerance. How did you pervert it?


"Mr. Horgan will have allies with the mayors of Vancouver, Burnaby, Victoria and many more, as well as First Nations leaders and the dozens of environmental organizations that have vowed to continue to seek to block the pipeline"

Well, i think the NDP and all those mayors are in for a surprise. Most of us in BC think this is a safe way to get our Canadian resource to market and keep people working. Yes, long term, green energy is the way to go but oil is still needed for at least a few more decades.


Go easy on Thatcher.

It can't be easy defending the indefensible.


I have long been of the view that the major goal of parliamentary, and electoral, reform should be to give backbenchers the same real power in majority governments that they wiled in minority governments.


I think we should give Israel the boundaries GOD instituted as described in Genesis 15:18 and Genesis 17:8.


What planet are you living on? Of course, Trump didn't promise to "decimate Medicaid. environmental protection..."

The problem is not what he said while campaigning but what he wants to see enacted as President.

Don't you see that by UNDERSTATING you criticism, you are refusing to acknowledge the problem and thereby adding to the problem?


Oh you mean just like: "Nice women don't want the vote!".

The problem is that women are the bearer of children and still predominantly the primary childcare provider. Their prime child bearing years coincides with the time when they're academic careers are just starting to get underway. If they take a break for children they loose the momentum in their careers and many male academics don't take them seriously as they believe they aren't 100% committed to academia. Their options then become forgoing having a family or having their careers sidelined.


Incredibly condescending, and how is that at all relevant to the economic and cultural interests of Canada and the average Canadian? Is an intimate knowledge of Bangalore or Hong Kong going to change the perception of a rigged economy? Is it going to stop the foreign flight of capital from China? Is it going to provide a job that allows the average Canadian worker to live with dignity? Roll back the tide on automation?

Do you have a handle on every cultural and economic nuance in the world? I wager you don't, but you're still able to use critical though and your life experiences to form an opinion.


I doubt that claim.


Totally agree. The village I live in has no viable hydroelectric option because of the cost of transmission lines  from the only proposed hydroelectric option to town, about 40 Miles. But there is all ready a road so why not turn the power in to hydrogen truck it to town and run the generators now powerd with diesel with hydrogen. As a pluse it's much cleaner to burn hydrogen then disel.
Also never got the whole battery thing. So much earth dug up to provide the rare minerals to make them. Seems to me storing the energy as hydrogen is much more environmentally friendly. Any way my two cents. My ten cents ain't free.


They know that their fellow citizens instinctively resist rationing imposed from outside, so they promise “unlimited” care for all, which is about as realistic as promising personal unicorns for all. In the process, they also ignore the fact that many of the systems they admire are neither single-payer nor free to patients. Above and beyond the exorbitant taxes that must almost always be levied to fund their single-payer schemes, many of these countries impose other costs on patients. There are frequently co-payments, deductibles, and other cost-sharing requirements. In fact, in countries such as Australia, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, consumers cover a greater portion of health-care spending out-of-pocket than do Americans. But American single-payer proposals eliminate most or all such cost-sharing.
Bernie Sanders’s proposed “Medicare for All” system, which would have cost $13.8 trillion over its first decade of operation?


I'm just thrilled that he's willing to work more than one day a week ... right Trudeau?


Isn't soft porn an oxymoron?


Mahalo to all the Fire Fighters, Police, Medical Personnels, Red Cross and all others for their bravery in helping the tenants in this unfortunate disaster! Condolences to the families who lost their loved-ones!


Like Showare Center that has cost the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars since it opened.


It certainly isn't true as you suggest, that the NOM is the same. Especially regarding the Consecration.
The Mass always had similarities to the Hebrew sacrifice. But that is because the Hebrew sacrifice prefigured the Mass. Jewish priests wore vestments; The entire animal had to be consumed.  The animals hooves were tied together in such a manner as to form a cross (+), the priest faced the same direction as the people, which was toward the Temple in Jerusalem.  The Seder meal in those days even required silver cups.
In the Mass, the people and priest faced East to illustrate they were distinct from the Jews.  Our sacrifice is the Lamb of God who sacrificed Himself upon the cross.  The NOM borrows heavily from Hebrew prayers that were never found in any Catholic Rite.  One example; "Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation, for through your goodness we have received the bread we offer you: fruit of the earth and work of human hands, it will become for us the bread of life...."


I would blame the Liberal full SCoC in 2010..........just as ridiculous as the Trudeau Liberals.


Argue with the wisdom of that if you wish.  He was legally pardoned, however.  He is not here illegally until such time as a judge hears the deportation appeal and rules that he should be removed from the country.


No, they have bombs which are deliberately designed to make it hard to repair runway damage. The reason why they didn't use them was because they have to be deployed from an aircraft with people in it at a relatively low altitude. But you know that would have looked bad sending in that much hardware.

What is horrifying is that, unless impeached, Donald Trump will likely be a two-term POTUS.  We may be dismayed, but where is the Democratic Party leader to slay the Trump dragon?


I wonder if those that are against GMO foods are opposed to this?


Or what? You'll do the same? Get outta here! If this was my family member, I'd be too embarrassed to admit it. This is not something I'd want to be known for. Not only did he shoot him twice but slit his throat! This is disturbing as hell!


Yes, they did all of that while terminating millions beyond those murdered during WWII.


I for one an in favor of the proposed tax plan for one reason. It helps ME for a change.  My small business is a corporation. We get to pay 35% tax on our profits, then, I get to pay taxes on that money again when it is distributed to me as personal income. So I pay taxes twice on the same money. Under this plan, at least the first 35% rip-off is reduced. I really wish that I could be part of the idle rich. This author wrongly assumes that all corporation owners are.  But I am not, and I have no problem with them getting a break as long as I get the same break.


Tomorrow (Wednesday) will be a sad day for pot smokers in the valley.


Apparently independent thought doesn't sit well with some.  We actually need more legislators who are willing to think with their mind, not just with the party.
