Premier David Peterson predicted carnage for Ontario's economy caused by the implementation of so-called Free Trade. A recession in 1990 coincided with massive economic structural change demanded by Free Trade, making the recession more like a depression, lasting from 1990 to 1995. Remember companies like Gillette and Caterpillar bugging out before the ink dried? The promise of Prime Minister Mulroney to have the world's finest worker adjustment programs? Chretien did not negotiated NAFTA but campaigned successfully in 1993 against NAFTA, promising to kill it without substantive change. Chretien betrayed his electoral platform. Turner correctly pointed out that giving up the economic levers results in the loss of political levers, sovereignty.

Mulroney betrayed Canada's independence and sovereignty whilst temporarily saving his ethically challenged government. Chickens came home to roost with the Progressive Conservative party dying.

Most nations do not envy Canada's predicament.


Quite evidently, repeated arrests have dulled in you the normal response of a law-abiding citizen to unjust arrest.


"It's not about survival of the fittest," Darwin documented cooperation far more than domination. I've seen colonialism survival of the fittest mentality as a rather psychopathic undertone to pretty much everything. Rebranding the essence of psychopathy as Competition makes us nose blind to it as we go about daily life. Here it is used to keep a nation's economy flowing. It's like society is stuck in the Roman Empire era. It's time to evolve.


Why is your preoccupation with what you imagine to be the motivations of the "left" seemingly more important to you than what is actually happening in Texas?


Yeah, 300k is a lot but for a 30 year loan you're looking at ~$1700 a month which is doable and close to what rent is. It's the 15 - 20% down that's tough.


And did the train not disrupt traffic heading to Hughes Stadium? Your argument is moot, plain and simple.


Michael, your 1st paragraph couldn't be more wrong. The Dems are like the Borg. There will be no dissent among the ranks. Their ultimate goals is full control of society and the economy.

Through the theft of taxes, they can take what is ours and make it theirs.

The only goal is economic servitude. Freedom is anathema to them.


Practicing civility and logic.

if more people are killed and maimed by knives and machetes in the US each year than are killed or maimed by guns.
And based on this article the Church "needs" to build a theory on gun violence...
Doesn't it follow that the Church should also have a set of consistent theories of "knife violence" and "machete violence" and hand choking "violence"?


Which poll had Hillary winning by 20 points?! But fair point.


I thought you were talking about Obozo..


Note that it was Woodward and Bernstein in that order. Carl the much lesser half.


Dishonest? Maybe not. But disingenuous, probably so. He was solicited to write this article by ADN the publisher of which is a strong left wing tax and spend person. And close to Gov Walker who is the same. He lost all credibility and has  just become a semi hired shill for their agenda. Thank goodness we are about to get a new Governor who  gets it.  The " Unity" party is a misnomer. Just the opposite is happening.Next, it would be great to get a newspaper that reports news instead of bias.


So was the problem here with ODOT or the contractor, High Desert Aggregate, or both? In any case, can we bring more competent people to Oregon to oversee and perform this work?

Sounds like 1,076 pages of wasted time to me. Read the Bible instead and learn who created all things and all people, and sent His only Son to die for us, be brought back to life and be seen by over 500 witnesses, and make it possible for us to know God and how much He loves each of us. Use your intellect to explore God's will for you, which is to love Him and love your neighbor. The philosophies of men come and go, but God's remains.


Thanks goodness, these 2 fools thought to rule through Trump,  traitors to America


Mr. Igl, please.  Do not try to take the fun out of the modern PC liberal lynching of Mr. Dunn.  The perpetrators were just settling down to feeling good about themselves just as red-blooded Klan members would have settled back happy after lynching a black man some years back.


Were we supposed to vote for Clinton? She, by actions and words, most assuredly defies Jesus. At least the imperfect Trump is trying in a very hostile political environment.

Please google accurate information on fluoridation from reliable, respected sources and start reading.

There is no valid, peer-reviewed scientific evidence of any adverse effect on the thyroid from optimally fluoridated water.  If you care to belabor the point then produce such evicence, properly cited.  Bear in mind that nonsense posted on antifluoridationist websites does not qualify as valid evidence of anything.

It is nice that you support Russia's invasion and seizure of Crimea, as well as their ongoing deadly efforts to take control of eastern Ukraine, but please don't label my support of the sanctions as subservient.  Go and ask any native Ukraine or anyone from former Soviet satellite states if they would like to return to a life under the control of Russian.  They support the sanctions.   Listen to the interview of the Lithuanian president two weeks ago if you need a refreshing reminder of why the Baltic states look to us for leadership and support on this matter.

I am not a fan of Trudeau, but I am a fan of standing up for what is right.  The effect of the sanctions can be right if executed correctly.  Unfortunately, with the arrival of Trump in January, it is not clear he remotely cares about what is right or being a leader.   He cares about himself, himself and himself.


A great man, may his memory and his teachings be well remembered!


ACTUALLY he did not shut down the highway - or plan to, or the power-outage that happened concurrently, or plan to hurt anyone else. And if you really think "it doesn't matter what issues he has to deal with" - then let's hope you never have an issue that might seem "inconsiderate or dangerous" to others, because, by your own measure, it doesn't matter.


May I ask what the point of this is?  Also, may I suggest you read Karen Ramstead's heartbearing essay written a few days ago about her dog "Snickers" during the 2007 Iditarod:  http://northwapiti.blogspot.com/2017/03/a-list-of-scarred-souls.html


This NFL "protest" message has become so mixed, have no idea what they are protesting.
So now it's justice for all?
Okay.


Ahhh...bring on the snake oil salesman!


The two sentences in this paragraph contradict each other. If it is a "cheap supermarket cake", it is about money.

"But the issue was likely never money. The request to bring your own cake is rarely about lack of options, and more often because people want to have their cheap supermarket cake served in a nice room where someone else cleans up afterward."


This is precisely why we should have whacked these people months ago. And it is also why we have to do it right away, before this stuff is perfected. Blow little fatty buzz cut to Kingdom come.


Yup.


First off, the CDF does NOT go hunting for errant priests. They don't have the resources. Something is brought to their attention first, it is investigated, THEN an action or actions are taken. It was even referenced in the third to last paragraph of this article. You just gave the Libs a red herring.

As to the silence of the Pope, does he condone what Flannery, D'Arcy, et al advocate is does he reject it? The silence appears to be a cowardly move on the part of the pontiff.

Has Flannery, in essence, self excommunicated? The order was not vacated by any silence.

Let us pray for his repentance.


Anyone who is surprised by this has not been paying attention. With $20 Trillion in debt, we can't continue to borrow money to subsidize lifestyle choices.

I'd like to live on the beach in Maui and have the government subsidize that choice.

But many Americans seem to think that Russia meddling in the election means, Putin actually came in and counted votes. They do not seem to understand that because of Trump's Russian money borrowing,  Trump might have lifted sanctions and continued diplomatic relations with the Russians. This money mess seems to be lost on the 38% base. [or they are still mad, mad, mad that a black man made it to the big White House.]

Donald Trump's election shows the dramatic deterioration of civil society in the U.S. Gerrymandering has created racially motivated distortions in the electoral map. Politicians and judges are bought and paid for by the rich. Voter turnout is at record lows and yet, the Trump got elected with almost three million fewer votes than Clinton. Police practice brutal systemic discrimination. Governments run unsustainable deficits and yet public infrastructure is woefully inadequate. Trumps behavior is disgraceful. But, American civil society is in such a state of degradation that one in three Americans think Donald Trump is a good President. That is the real story. It too hard to imagine the U.S. ever coming back from this sorry state. The election of Donald Trump means the end of the United States, perhaps not as a country, not yet anyway, but certainly as a world power. Nature abhors a vacuum. The demise of the U.S. creates and global power vacuum and substantial instability for everyone.

In my opinion, Seamus O'Regan was made a minister because any government needs at least one minister from Newfoundland and Labrador (or any other province you could point to).

About the only person, in either caucus, that I can think of who knows much about veterans' issues would be Senator Dallaire, and the government would just get a different kind of criticism for having a line minister in the Senate....

With 1 child they would be refused a benefit.  With 2 children they would get a small benefit.  With 3 or more children they would get a larger benefit.

4 children, 2 under the age of 6 and 2 aged 6+, with a family net income of $170,000, would receive $5,575/year in the Canada Child Benefit.  This could well be more than they would have received under the old Universal Child Care Benefit.

Also note that this is net family income, so potentially a family could be earning up around $225,000 gross income and reduce it down to $170,000 after pension contributions and RRSP deductions and still get that $5,575/year benefit.


Couldn't agree more Olrun. Well said.


Mr. Trudeau said that while Canada is always welcoming to vulnerable people, the government needs to make sure it’s doing so the “right way.”
.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
It is high time that Justin Trudeau get out of his egotistic competition with Pope Francis for Best Humanitarian, and, for the sake of Canadian civilisation, act on the wisdom that the "right way" in response to all these refugees is to address the domestic factors that have caused the refugee flows.  In the case of Syria there is vicious Islamic sectarianism, which prevents the stubborn Syrians from reconciliation and openness to diversity in their homeland in the example of South Africans after apartheid and Rwandans after the 1990s genocide.  In the case of Africans,  government corruption is the evil dynamic.


Going home with the deal that either the house or the senate, is guaranteed to produce LOADS of issues for the GOP.


As non-morons know, Trump is a laughing stock throughout the entire world. It's not just that he's an ignoramus and a moron; it's also that everyone knows his word is meaningless. He said he'd declare China a currency manipulator, and he backed down. He said he'd make Mexico pay for the wall, and he backed down. He said he'd declare steel tariffs and he's done nothing. He said he had a plan for defeating ISIS and he has nothing, etc., etc., etc.

I'm sure you're a nice guy in real life, but you seem to have some cognitive issues.


Did you learn how to use the ellipsis at CU?


Natives say racially offensive garbage about white people all the time, and get government grants and pay cheques to do so.


I give Caldwell credit for making a real effort to produce affordable housing. But what makes absolutely no sense is the increases in property taxes and how property taxes are used. For one thing, raising property taxes WILL raise rental prices. It's just a simple fact of economics. And we wonder why our rents in Honolulu are so high. Just check how much these homeowners have to pay to keep their homes. You keep raising the tax on these rental units and expect that the rental rates to remain the same. That's just crazy. And add to that the added taxes to homeowners such as a fee for waste pick up. Shouldn't that have been taken from the property taxes? This city will continue to suffer from high rents due to our high taxes and taxes on top of those taxes. And we wonder why we have such a high homeless rate.


Much of what the liberals have "done" to deal with what Obama famously referred to as "violent extremism" is basically symbolic politics (i.e. announcing and making it look like something is being done for political purposes, while actually doing very little). Also see the related phrase "security theater." There's a growing bloc of voters Trudeau doesn't want to lose...


diane... sweet head gear..and an insightful post.


Don't believe Moore has a "slim lead". This is just an example of the phenomenon of conservatives either refusing to be polled, or intentionally giving misleading responses. It was rampant in the last presidential election, in which up until the election day itself Clinton was shown comfortably winning. And it's going on here.

Conservatives do not trust polls or pollsters. Seldom does a subject know whether a poll is non-partisan or commissioned by a campaign. Nor do subjects know what is done with data gathered on them. There could easily be a database - by name - built on respondees to polls. Who knows what access there might be to such information and what use might be made. In this highly charged partisan atmosphere, it's easy to see why someone might not want the media to know who supported Moore?

So you'd be wise to assume that Moore's support is some 5-7% higher than polled.


The priest in question was a much loved hero in Western Canada. He built a school for very touch teenage boys in rural Saskatchewan, and directed all that juvenile energy into sports, especially hockey. His boys beat the best all across Canada. And his "brats" generally turned out very well indeed. If you knew the man, you would realize there was nothing whatsoever out of place with that reference. The image, intended obviously only for me, was picture perfect and evoked a fond memory of deep respect.

Context is everything, LoL.


The baker's case is mostly about religious liberty since marriage is religious.  Genesis 2:24. It was instituted in a creative capacity, IN THE IMAGE OF GOD who bound and blessed the male and female union as one. If traditional marriage was created in the Image of God, then the exact opposite is a façade giving a false appearance of the truth. And we know the Bible is correct since heterosexual union has proven true because it's how anyone whoever existed got here!

But the counterfeit has reared its head through the Homosexual marriage falsehood, that has been labeled "same-sex marriage," or 666, which is just the opposite of traditional marriage in every aspect and reflects nothing but lies. From a religious standpoint, the SCOTUS does not have authority over the Image of God. Neither can it "create" a spectrum of non-productive sexes in the Image of God. This 100% indicates the mark of the beast as prophesied by Jesus.  The baker must refuse to accept the mark of the beast.


Yea, cause the media always misquotes his tweets.......or voices over his speeches....?

I don't need the media, or anyone, interpreting video clips, tweets, written press releases, White House press conferences - if you can call cherry-picking friendly press attendees a press conference - Boy Scout or Inauguration speeches, etc for me.
Believe it or not just because there are foes to Trump doesn't validate the right's cries of Fake News! You guys spoon feed yourselves on Fox, Breitbart, Rush, etc and then tell US we are being played by Fake News. I listen to his words and I don't need MSNBC, CNN, FOX, BBC, or the Politburo to  decipher or politico-speak it for me. I can see and hear what Trump says unfiltered and raw. And pretty much all of it sucks.


I could well be wrong.

There is insufficient evidence to back either case however more money in the hands of those who have to spend it would imply greater opportunity for business.


Yes, going green in Ontario has worked out rather well, sarc off.


Equivocating Breibart as a site sympathetic to new-nazi, white supremists  because they tell stories of their actions and opinions is the same as the globe and mail being said to be sympathetic to ISIL when they interview an extremist cleric.  Breibart has always published stories to inform people, however how distasteful it is in order to let people know what is happening, and not present homogenized news approved by the men in govt.,corp. power. Brannon is a Westpoint Graduate, a Naval  Veteran. He has  staffed Breibart with a diverse religious and ethnic, nongender based staff of world class journalists.  They are not a mainstream media outlet, who must toe the line of political correctness like the G&M, CBC, starting out as an online shock media like the national enquirer might be considered. I am somewhat dismayed though that this continued rhetoric against Breibart, Bannon and the Trump Campaign only began when the DNC, started their media attack when HRC/DNC proven corrupt.

It's not the CBC selling the ad time during HNIC; it's the good folks at Rogers who can't fill those slots. That was part of the deal when Rogers bought the national rights and deigned to give the CBC Saturday nights: Rogers got all the ad revenues.

Finally.  A Kahle column that makes sense; didn't think I'd ever see it.


Sex is useless. It is humanity at it's purest form. It is something that had a evolutionary function, breeding children and then you say screw the biology we do it only for our own pleasure and our ego's. That is why parenting is so toxic in Canada.

'.....He has a gorgeous, New Age wife....'
.
.
Uh, no...It took me a while to put my finger on it, but Trudeaus' wife is atttactive in the way I remember being in grade three and finding my treacher 'attractive'.

Pre-pubescent boys find a certain type of women attractive (a sort of odd-blend of 25% mother, and the rest split among older sister, and older sisters friends), but you are not sure what it is all about.

Once you mature, (you know-high school and beyond) you leave that behind, and move into more adult-type fixations...
.
Trudeaus wife is who she is, no beef with her. (Well there is the singing, and the servants) But 'gorgeous'? (Gorgeous=traffic stopping, guaranteed the best looking in any bar she could walk into anywhere, etc.).No.
.
Just like Trudeau himself-he is attractive-for a politician, but his 'competition' is mostly puffy, stuffy, old men...(I think I even got that from GQ or other similar mags)

By the time the train goes into service in two or three years, the cars most likely will be obsolete and will have to undergo a multi-million equipment upgrade to make the technology current.

By doing nothing (option 1) and delaying the inevitable, Mr. Polozi maintains the burden of a lower dollar (higher costs of basic household goods and all imported goods) on the large majority of Canadians who do not live in the GTA or Vancouver.  Quite frankly, I'm tired of it.  Polozi should exercise option 2.   Doing nothing right now will just make it twice as painful for debt-laden Canadians by doing it later.


The people attacking and smearing Trump with nasty insults like Mika and Joe have done can dish it out but they can't take it. I'm glad he gave them a taste of their own venom; they deserved it. And no, this has nothing to do with "attacking women."

You don't understand actuarial science. Contraception is free because it reduces the actuarial risk of birth. Employers don't pay at all. Births make coverage for women more expensive, which is why for a while they paid higher premiums. That practice has been banned and was the point of the provision that also made contraception free.


So move then,  and that should take care of the issue.

Yet Clinton, Clapper, Brennan who all provably lied to Congressional Committees still walk free.

And none of the charges to date have anything to do with Russia or Collusion, yet the headline says "at the heart of the Russian collusion probe", when if G&M had any honesty or integrity would read "a plantar wart on the foot of of a Deep State vendetta".


A blanket statement that all politicians are hypocrites is ridiculous. There are many good people in the world and some of them get into politics because they want to contribute and better the lives of others through public service. They are not in it for personal gain or notoriety.


I would like to know what percentage of the products sold by this company are made in canada; and what portion of the sale price of these garments is actually spent in canada.

Not only that, but no virtual device will replace actually trying stuff on before you buy it.


"The most obvious thought is why not defer this lovely plan for another 2 years...?"

Maybe because those are two years that she'll never get back and spending them working in a job she'll have already been in for 27 years upon retirement is pointless once her financial future is secured.

No, but did you miss this "Speaking with Bloomberg News, Ministry spokesperson  Maria Zhakarova said staff of Russia's embassy in the United States met with members of Trump's campaign - meetings she described as "normal practice". Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's campaign refused similar requests for meetings, she told the agency.

Asked for clarification, a Foreign Ministry official declined to elaborate Ryabkov's remarks but said that standard diplomacy called for "contact with leaders in the campaign." on matters such as clarifying statements by the candidate or conveying interview requests from Russian journalists. The ministry official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.

The statement from Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov is about this diplomatic practice.

Your false assertion about the so called Cyber hackers names has already been responded to.


Well, contrary to popular belief, We are Not perfect. : )
Did The NY Times create a similar "report" on the Hillary/anti-Trump crowds?
I suspect that there were/are many more such incidents by the Lib Dems that far outweigh the numbers of Trump supporters showing lack of class.

We're shifting to the new Green economy where we will have $15/hour guaranteed incomes and social housing for everyone! It'll take at least one term for Horgan and Weaver to tax Liberal supporters down to this income level and force them out of their expensive homes.

The Chinese are cracking down on foreign money laundering so watch out.

This although Trudeau and McCallum are selling up to 1 million 10 year visas in China this year verses 400k last year.  Minister Morneau also has no interest in cracking down on money laundering as witnessed by his appointments of a failed Superintendent of Real Estate Brokers in BC to the position of tracking foreign money entering Canada.

It will be interesting to see who wins, China, the Canadian government or the citizens of Canada.

I said Washington state, you denied tankers transit Washington...
"Most of Cherry Point's crude oil is from the Alaska North Slope. It is brought in by petroleum tankers via the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Rosario Strait and delivered directly to the refinery via the facility's tanker pier near a minor headland called Cherry Point, on the Strait of Georgia.[7][8] The remainder of the crude comes from a pipeline connected to reserves in Western Canada. In January 2014 the refinery finished construction of a rail facility to import Bakken crude from North Dakota.[9]

" I will have to look that up."
.
 But that's the point Tesa: you shouldn't have to "look it up," this article and newspaper should help clarify and spell that out for you within the article. If a city attorney is shutting down a petition initiative because of "a legal technicality," and the media doesn't even bother to spell out that legal technicality - it directly implies an agenda driven journalism.

Alaska's oil and gas industry is where I have my investment, so are you advising me to cut out my investment in Alaska's oil and gas investment and diversify investments into Texas and Colorado oil industry?

The world knows Alaska is the best place to find lots of oil and gas AND the state's bad management of the oil and gas lands of Alaska will get better!

My bet is  it can't get worse unless they nationalize the oil but that can't happen in America, right?

Buy now and hope the state leaders make the oil and gas rules better and stop the monopoly and the rigged system that keeps competitors and all Alaskans out of the oil and gas competition!


GCI is one of your biggest advertisers... Of course, you'd support GCI CEO Ronald Duncan. Shame on you Ms. Billionaire.


What is your wife's view of your opinion?


This will not stop me from supporting the LPC.  However I could not be more disappointed. Canadians deserve a voice.  Mr Trudeau follow the recommendations of the committee.

We have three years before the election. Spend the next year putting the referendum together, take it to Canadians and then spend a year and a half getting ready for the election.

We Liberals need to get the lead out of our pants!

"It seems fair to wonder if Bill Clinton could be elected (because of what he DID)....", "But...Trump's WORDS struck a particular nerve".

Disgusting that we are spoon fed this garbage that suggests talking about it is worse than acting on it.

We should be grateful to both candidates for so clearly illustrating how completely they can sell their souls and we just get lost in the minutia.


If you bought a manual transmission, you wouldn't need traction control


Wow, you really seem to be able to read invisible print.

There are no statistics to back up your differentiation between what you call practicing Muslims and secular Muslims. I wish there were.

I wish that I could be confident that Islam, which does not distinguish between the church and state, will not become the largest religion in Canada. I wish I could be confident that Muslim immigrants, and their families, will secularize, or at least adhere rigidly to th concept of church state separation.

Your wishful fantasizing does not make it so however
.

For the record, AGAIN, the number of Canadians identifying as Muslim has increased from 0.5% to 3% between 1991  and 2011.

This does not include those, of any race or creed, who identify as non-religious, which by the way would include me.


The same place people get money for cigarettes and alcohol


What makes Trudeau Butts happy is giving away 10 million to terrorists and watching black clad anonymous leftist thugs beating Canadian senior citizens bloody on CBC TV.


Sophistry... not interested.


If an area cannot be more economically voable on its own it has no right to demand taxes from areas payimg more of their own way. Time to let these areas downsize or turm into ghost towns. We cannot afford any other option.


It is sickening to look at your picture wearing a red skullcap and red criminal bishop's outfit,  Bishop John Barres of Rockville Centre, New York!  If you bishops have a bit of conscience, you should all resign for sure!!!
Your red symbolizes your sacrilege of sexual rapes of children now, do you know!?
How many child phnograpies do you collected in your computer, Bishop John Barres of Rockville Centre, New York?  I wonder how many Pope F. computer hold those???  ROTFLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This is called weather genius. Climate is a different subject.


Trump Set the Trap and the Rats (and RINOs) Walked In

By Tweeting that Trump Tower and his personal residence were bugged---and apparently the evidence of such a wiretap approval exists---Trump again shows why he plays 3D chess and his enemies are playing Parcheesi...
Other than the fact that this is OBAMA he is going after, the juciest part is that Sessions did NOT recuse himself from a wiretap investigation of Obama.
Trump just leapfrogged the whole Russia thing with an "It ends today." Now Team Trump has leverage to force a full and total standdown of all opposition to Trump inside Congress, all end to the disruptions, and meek and timid confirmation of all appointees. Or Zero goes to jail. That simple.

http://www.freerepublic.com...


Zero evidence on the metadata analysis which is what the entire headline is based on. So we should just naively believe it to be true?


I will tell this Missouri lawmaker the same thing I say to anyone who calls for Trump's assassination.

"Well, that results in Pence, so what good would it do? Oh yeah, and it gives the right a Martyr. And if you think the answer to Pence is more bloodshed, it's Republicans all the way down so you're gonna have to kill a whole bunch of Righties before you get a chance to get a Leftie in power, and...they'll face a unified, enraged Right-Wing. Not smart."


Yes we need a 6 month "Buyers" remorse clause.For gawd sake the boy can't even get into a kayak


We’re supposed to “rally around” the unstable maniac who is exacerbating the situation - and who should be removed under the 25th Amendment? Absolutely not.


Body bags?

Perhaps glass house dwelling DPRK apologists shouldn’t throw corpses?

How many body bags were needed for the many and ongoing victims of the brutal Kim Stalinist dynasty?


How is this at all surprising? This is logical continuation and application of tribalism that took over academia. Only this time it isn't feminists against imaginary misogyny, but something truly remote for English speakers. So censorious illiberality and knee-jerk overreaction are more noticeable.


Trying to tie the activities of the pawn shop to whatever is going on with the Somali restaurant is misleading at best.


Lock him up!   Lock him up!   Lock him up!   Lock him up!   The GOP Congress should be setting-up special committees right now to investigate Ditzy Don Junior's traitorous actions.  If Benghazi was worth 7 GOP committee investigations and over $70 million dollars spent, they should be able to find the bucks to go after this criminal.  Oops.  Sorry.  I keep forgetting Republican loyalties are to their party, never justice or America.


For those who think they are white as snow and without blemish I must repeat this truth: From Lisa Bloom. Lisa Bloom is a Legal analyst for NBC News and Avvo, attorney and bestselling author.

"In our nation’s history, so many of the sickest most appalling crimes have been committed by whites. Yet no matter how sadistic the crime, no matter how young the victims, no matter how much fear is engendered in a community, no matter how much media attention and public discussion the crimes of whites engender, the race itself is never sullied."

Lisa Bloom also says white men are at the top of the list for gaining foreign visas to have sex with children. 85-percent in Latin America, she says.

Lisa Bloom also adds the most prolific serial killers in this country (America) are white men. And last, white women are known for killing their children.

People, this is not gossip and hearsay.


The number of Trump supporters in Eugene, Oregon going to welcome Mayor Vinis is not likely to be SRO!

Unless this is going to be held after 'normal working hours' it will just be a rally for the faithful who do not need to go to 'work' you know; like government employees, for example.

The original time was going to be at 5:30pm until the snow delay, so few can get from a 'real' job, park downtown and get to the Hult that quickly, after all.


Maybe so, but you can't deny the simple truth that living in an apartment complex -- even a nice high-end one -- is absolutely awful when compared to living in a house.


We could hit the fountain to wake Betty Taylor up!


So is this just Liberal ministers... what about Conservative/NDP ministers  or backbenchers?


It's not only "party members" who vote.


Not much distraction?  Perhaps 2nd or 3rd in the news only to every little thing about Trump and currently, the TX weather.


From coast to coast your elected officials on the take and pay to play is of the domain of offshore tax evaders.Welcome to Canada.Citizens can't afford a 1500 dollar plate and it's designed to keep the voter out.


And you art talking about what  international contempt.  I think you have confused Harper with Trudeau. Now there was international contempt. I know someone travelling on a Canadian Diplomatic passport who was sent back to Canada at the Peruvian border because  they disposed Harper.


The picture of tree, in the road, was a piece of Waikiki history.  That road, was once at the edge of the tree.  The road was cut back from that tree.

In the past, Waikiki was a tourist & local friendly place.  Now, because of highly limited parking, it will become a tourist only place.

What limited free parking, that is still left over in Waikiki, should remain.  Every other parking location, has a parking meter, or no parking zone, or no standing zone, or loading zone only.

By making Waikiki, a tourist only location, because of the limited parking areas, that will cause a discrimination against the local people.

There are many local people, who can not afford the simple pleasures of life anymore, because of parking problems.


One of Trump's campaign slogan/platform planks was "undue" everything President Obama has done."  There's nothing surprising about his selecting a Cabinet reflecting that approach: a Secretary of Education who doesn't believe in public education: a Secretary of Labor whose personal fortune is built on minimum wage workers; an Attorney General with a history of racism; a Secretary of State who has spent his career making "business deals" with foreign leaders and has absolutely no experience in international relations; Secretary of HHS with no experience working with the issues which face the department; and on and on through the Cabinet.  If you enjoy chaos, get ready for a good time.  Gary Crum


Check out the long trail of tears that comes withthis.


President Obama and Secretary Kerry must have known the Paris Accord was a really bad deal for the American people as they did not even try to have the deal ratified by the U.S. Senate as an enforceable treaty.  The Paris Accord allows China and India to increase their pollution, while it places huge restrictions on American businesses.  With the United States out of the silly deal, Americans are free to do what they can to reduce pollution the American Way.


Yirmin Snipe,
Have you ever had to help you 86 year old mother get from wheelchair into a car, when the parking space next to where you had to park (no handicap parking) only to find that there isn't room to open up the door and push the wheelchair up to the it to get her out and into the car ?
Or, take your 35 year old son, who is paralyzed from the shoulders down, to the Mall but there is no place close enough to the entrance to park where you can use the lift to get him out of the van in his specialized van withhis oxygen tank ? After all, you are a 69 year old mother who has a difficult time pushing the chair as it is.
I realize that some folks are uncomfortable with seeing or looking at the disabled and would rather they just stay home, but if it were you who had been in an accident that left you in a chair, would you want the right to be able to go to the Mall ?
Not everyone in wheelchairs can "wheel" themselves around for various reasons.


Sounds like an old story: predator stalks prey while vulnerable PS so glad you gave away your "title" so that others can use this as a negotiating tactic

The people pulling the ANC down in the mud are Zuma and his faction by their words, actions and behaviour.

Rick I do brisket and pork butts on a Weber kettle.  Space is a bit of a challenge but it works.  As you say the key is getting the internal temp over 200.

The bacon sounds incredible!


Veritas101: The bear was NOT aggressive. It was communicative. We all know that a female with cubs is the most dangerous combination, especially when startled, but this female chose - twice - to offer a No Trespassing warning to the humans. This one should be left alone.


No Skeletons here.   But I do smell a lot of SKUNKS  in the Woodpile.


You miss my point.  Yes, voters can restrict new taxes and tax increases.  They can even vote to cut taxes.  My point is that if they choose this path, DON'T approve new programs that require additional revenue without a means to cover the costs.  It only makes the problem more difficult to solve.
I personally think that public schools are not held to account for their spending.  Many school districts already spent the money from the "Grand Bargain" the legislature passed...  and then the Oregon Supreme Court struck it down.  Now they are pleading they don't have enough money.  Spend money you don't really have and it becomes problematic.  Voting for and approving programs you don't fund is also a big problem.


If only things worked that way.


Yes but the Americans really only traded one Establishment for another Estsblishment.  The Pence Ryan Republicans with the Trump Bannon newbies.


Again showing how little you know. Like I said for SOME women it is incredibly hard to make milk. It doesn't just come gushing out like apparently it did for your wife or whomever. Wait...why did you have to provide breast milk for someone else's child? Shouldn't its mother just have nursed? You have no idea what you are talking about.

Disappearing comments...fun.


Walker has to travel separate from Trump. He is so unimportant; he could not get to ride in the back with the media staff.  Lets see the cost of this unplanned travel to China to impress Trump. For the Chinese already said no to his gas plan.


What a great actor with a very wide repertoire.

His talent was well exemplified in the 1975 production of The Naked Civil Servant.  A complimentary film, made in 2009, was An Englishman in New York.

And who can forget Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011)?

His work is best described as prolific with about 130 movies under his belt along with 50 TV productions and three video games.

He will be missed.


"A photo ID is something every legal citizen should have and if the parties focused on this then it could be one of the positives coming out of any election."

Except that Republicans dont want to help people get IDs because the people who need them the most tend to be minorities and poor people - neither of which is a great demographic for Republicans votes.

And Democrats are just, in general, terrible about following through with these issues, and in their current state, are really in no great position to try and push for such things when they are the minority party in nearly all forms of government right now.


Great observation.
I'm a slow typist.
I learned that if I send an e-mail to someone, I tend to be more reflective and more civil than if I call them up and leave a message, simply because it takes me more time to type than to speak, and thus a chance to slow down.


Where did the idea that all people should be guaranteed equal health care originate?  It's bogus.  Health care is money.  Politicians figured that by taking money from some and giving it to others, they would get votes.  That has worked.  The people who receive the money vote for the people who give it to them.  Now we have half the population receiving while not paying and we wonder why the middle class is hurting.  It's because there's not enough money in the hands of just rich people to cover the bills that we're incurred.  Now we are devouring the middle class with taxes and killing their jobs with added costs for companies.  The only way everyone will get the same level of health care is to lower that level.  That is exactly what is happening.


What evidence?


Mulroney and air bus scandal...

Harper and the In and Out sandal,. the Mike Duffy bribery scandal, Robocall misdirection scandal Dean del Mastro,. Bruce Carson., Nathan Jacobson,Arthur Porter- so much Conservative sleaze, so many Conservative scandals......


Deep quakes are felt over a larger area as the shockwave spreads and weakens as it rises from the point of origin to the surface. Shallow quakes don't have as far to travel and therefore pack a bigger wallop -- smaller in area but more damaging. This one sounds like a deep one, but I guess it's all guesswork now, since very few facts exist.


The Constitution does not allow govt to infringe on the right to bear arms.
An infringement (even a little) is the opening for all gun ownership.


Jane
You foolishly believe anything that spill out of a politician's mouth during these climate summits? Especially Justine? At least Harper was honest with Canadians

Any useless politician can sign a worthless piece of paper tied to hopeful wishes decades in the future when they know they won't be in power. Just look at Chretien's Kyoto signing where our CO2 emissions increased 30-40%. That clown signed a paper without having any clue what the repercussions to our economy would be or have a strategy in place to lower emissions. Later we find he excused Ontario by maintaining manufacturing and only make it responsible for engineering more fuel efficient cars while AB, SK, BC, NS, and NL all had to do the heavy lifting by destroying their carbon-based industries.

It's purely optics that the blind like yourself can't see.

And yes, you are incredibly hypocritical centering your focus on Alberta when you have more carbon intensive extraction going on in your own backyard near Hollywood.


Well, your ancestors wanted slaves.

Mr. Corbeil,

I think you have a grade school understanding of Fascism. It is far more then simple economic dictates.

Facepalm.

I support your right to get married and for Jack Philips to make you a cake.


while in china maybe trump can ask Xi Jinping if the usa can borrow the great wall of china as they aren't really using it anymore as those pesky mongols haven't invaded china for centuries. it might be cheaper than building a new wall from scratch.


This article does say 26.  But a previous ADN article had a chart that said there were 27 homicides at the end of August.  Link below.  So this is 28 if you go by ADN's previous chart.  Still not 3/4 of the way through the year.  So a new murder record this year for sure. I can still see Berky's stern face telling us during his campaign how he was going to get tough on crime.  Yeah right, the numbers tell the story.

"Inquiry into missing and murdered women a failure: Indigenous group"

NO surprize here.....

Knew it would be a total failure the second it was announced.


Someone should be checking the police and court reports to see how many other violent criminals were let off the hook.  If the courts won't hold people accountable, the community needs to.

How about putting all previous criminals who are walking free and their wanna be gangsta friends on a poster so the community knows who to stay away from.

Does Palmer have a community watch?


Over the top description, much?

No union can exert complete control. It's silly to suggest they can.

EVERY union cares about the workplaces that they've been chosen to represent. That's their role. If the IFFA turned a blind eye to what was going on, they'd be derelict in that role... just as a manager would be if he turned a blind eye to employees violating company policy.

It's a pity you've got such a hate on for unions that you can understand their role and purpose.


It's STEAM, not STEM. Without the arts, we'd be unable to judge the quality of the rest.


Trudeau was one from the get go


"Medicare for everyone" has a nice ring to it and everyone understands it.  But there certainly are better versions.  So if we're going to do it, do it right.  Scour the world for the best systems.  Then steal the best pieces from the best systems.  If we're going to build a new system, make it the best in the world.  Obamacare certainly isn't.  Nor is anything the GOP will produce.


Modern science and person responsibility would suggest that their wildlife services are outdated. Further they seem to be impervious to a holistic view, serving the needs of a small group that really could provide these services through local districts sanctioned by the state and accountable to local impacts, if misused. This is a good example of a federal program that doesn't need to cross state lines to be effective. Yet those others forms of conservatives, conservative and conservative used to be connected, don't see this as an agency to close. Hmmm


The UCLA players should take a knee.


No, it's just that the stuff you're imbibing gives you myriad delusions.

Slander and Libel cost money in court. Speech can get pretty expensive with an $80,000 judgement, another for $55,000 and others settled out of court or for small judgements.


Let's examine Nelson Mandela in as close scrutiny with  post modern judgement as they do  McDonald.


We have witnessed several denominations agonize over whether women and gay people should be welcomed as full members in their church. I cannot help but admire such open discussions with allowance for contributions from their members. After all, doesn't the Spirit speak through each one of us. Or do we think that the Spirit only speaks through bishops and cardinals (and pope).


The Board failed miserably...

But the OSC appears to have caused a run on the bank that could end with the shares worthless. Executives failed to properly disclose a material decline in business. They should be punished by the OSC. But was the OSC wise to take all these actions that have led to a run on the bank? The Home Capital Board should have cooperated with the OSC and should have punted the three immediately. But did the OSC realize it was going to cause so much damage? I don't think it did.

The direct damage of the liar loans, the vast majority of which are apparently current in their payments was NOTHING compared to the damage of the loss of trust caused by the OSC  investigation and the horribly bungled reaction to it.

Home Capital needs a white knight buyer, and fast.


You know you guys are talking about a fiction series on TV right?
This has nothing to do with reality, and although you can't tell from reading the SA, there are a lot of important stories in the real world that should be covered before what's on TV.


Thank you, Mike AA.


I'm with you on this. The question these days on "Culture" might be answered in one of two ways. It could mean his heritage? OR maybe his "Culture" is a reflection of political party affiliation given the context of the story. He could be one of these mentally ill or homeless people hired by the democrat party to be disruptive in certain public setting.
Who knows for sure?


I understand, RR--everyone needs a hobby.  But I don't follow you around.  I merely comment when I encounter one of your "exceptional" posts (the civil censor will gack me if I say in what WAYS they're exceptional).  I doubt I respond to 10% of your posts.


Why is it the only candidates we ever hear about have an 'R' next to their name? This state is gerrymandered to the point of inoperability because only the supermajority's policies get considered. We need new faces, but they don't all have to be Rs. We do need a state tax and the permanent fund to be restructured. You can't fix this mess with cuts only. Chris did some very sketchy things while on the Assembly so he's not the answer either. I would like a legislator who isn't beholden to special interest groups, the Koch Brothers, or religious entities, is a champion for people, not corporations & is willing to incorporate anyone's ideas into policy that will bring this state forward out of the quagmire created by the Republicans - a person who does what's right for the good of the state rather than for job security or majority interests. 'New energy' necessitates dismantling the supermajority; not electing more of the same like-minded R's and expecting a different outcome.


Wow - the world has changed. Is the hunting so much better with the semi-automatic that the experience would be considerably lessened if those types of weapons were restricted?


What a terrific piece, thanks.

If the government of Canada had taken any of the previous advice these two "experts" proffered we'd be knee deep in blood in the Middle East,  at war with Russia in Ukraine and building pipelines to the US they neither need nor want

as they say - can we get a second opinion?


That really worked well, didn't it? Harper was ousted and replaced with the most incompetent Prime Minister in Canadian history.


There is nothing uncivil about this comment and is being posted again:

The problem is that males were responsible for the all-male structure and answer to the all-male structure which was, over time, codified into expression of the will of God. They believe in their own entitlement.


Frankly,  I find logic hard. It feels intuitive, but I must really work to put terms on the mechanics.
I don't think anyone masters this stuff. Did you know there is fallacy fallacy? It means dismissing an argument because there is a fallacy. Actually, an argument could be fallacious AND true!
And yes, paraphrasing is important. And in your own words.  Not a repeat of theirs. Many social workers do this and some clients get really tired of it because it seems phony.

Good discussion.


Neither of the co-chairs of Senate Finance have to run for re-election this year.  Their appointments to those positions was no accident......


Perhaps you should arm yourself with an army of accountants/tax lawyers instead of complaining about your taxes"

Done.......(a LONG time ago)

As to; "YI the top 10% of income earners, which include lawyers, doctors and business owners (among a just a few professions) account for more than half of all income tax payed in Canada"

Nonsense/a flagrant lie. The top 10% SHOULD pay half the income taxes in Canada (and the US for that matter) IF they paid taxes on INCOME rather than TAXABLE income.

There is a difference.....look it up if you're not certain what the said difference is/may be.

Better yet , save yourself the time, there is not a single credible document from the CRA/IRS on the cleavage in-between income/taxable income. We do know from CRA that the federal government brings in 132 billion dollars in income-taxes per year while "losing" another 150 billion dollars per year in loopholes and tax deductions

That's 150 billion per year we could be paying down the debt with.....


I'm not right wing either. I spend my money where my family and I feel welcome and safe.

In our opinion, it appears to us as if the Canadian real estate industry has become a world wide casino enterprise.


Less than 2% of the banking jobs in the UK (if it happens). There is about this amount of banking job vacancies in the London area. Most of the world does not do business in the Euro. Yawn.


The poll was conducted by whom?  It was from the construction industry.  The only one that matters is at the poll booth which we voters are not given.


OH. So you couldn't find out how much they generated until you voted for it? Sounds like Nancy Pelosi trained these council members!!!


So its all the euro/western people that case all the problems ?  WOW talk about RACIST.  Asian's OWN more than ANYONE in this state and their culture is much more on display and most are NOT even from Hawaii.  Talk about a B$ narrative.

Another sexist liberal!


Define "normal traditional American."


This is what passes for media?  The Parker dumps on the Trump for using "the."  The media is getting desperate.  In California they say "the 5."  Here we say I5.  So what?  Trump has trouble with blacks because the media tells THE blacks that THE dems are better for them.  The media is the only source of information most Americans have.


The two men may very well have similar attributes, but the distinguishing difference is that the USA is a superior country with a powerful military, regular elections and laws that seek equality. That makes our country an infinitely better place to live, and acts as a deterrent to the murderous ways of the NK dictator.

You might give this some thought before you throw your support one way or the other.


Well said.


Seem like you are incapable of having an adult conversation without feeling the need to first try to belittle or name call the person you having a discussion with. I do disagree with your claim. From my research, what Corker did was push legislation that would ultimately grant CONGRESS power to review the deal. To me, this is the right role of congress. This legislation was supported by overwhelming BIPARTISAN majority in BOTH house and senate. In the senate if passed 98 -1. In essence it granted Congress the opportunity to review the Iran nuclear deal BEFORE sanction were lifted on Iran.
It is better explained here:
http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/24/politics/donald-trump-bob-corker-iran-deal-fact-check/index.html
The Iran deal, like  in many deals and negotiation, there is give and take in order to come to an ultimate agreement. I am in favor of the Iran deal as brokered by the US, China, Russia, Germany, France, GB primarily because it keeps nuclear weapons out of the hands of Iran.


They are predictable, but hey when you ain't got policy, personality, history, success, or honesty on your side, where you gonna go?


Epidurals are your friends, ladies!


total chaos and weakness


The key for me is " this election cycle".

 Politifact as of this June posting only goes back 16 months.  Limiting the lies to that time frame  takes away Hillary's lies during the 2008 campaign like her 'attacked by a sniper' lies, as well as those from Arkansas and through the Clinton Presidency.

By stopping at June, you also have eliminated the mail server lies revealed by the Director of the FBI this month.


Anything that increase the already too high crime rate in Denver is NOT OK. DO NOT SIGN THIS BILL, Hickenlooper! Don't let the liberal ACLU push you around! Protect our cops! Public safety MUST come first.


That's an 87.5% increase from the $8/hr wage in 2007, more than three times the rate of inflation for 12 years in a row.  I believe in a living wage, but on a 40-hour week that's $31,000 per year. Pretty steep for an employer,  and even steeper when you include the 20% additional employee cost (UI, CPP, etc), additional holidays, the Liberal introduction of family day, cap and trade, on and on.  I already closed my Ontario business laying off 25 people, and moved west. Good riddance.

Most people don't even know directional drilling exists.  Let alone know that it has no impact at all to the ground thousands of feet above it.

I do give you credit for knowing about directional drilling though.

Nonetheless, the headline is still written to leave a gross misrepesentation.  For instance, a simply "2 miles underneath HS" would leave a much less dire (and far more accurate) impression.

G&M is fake news, because all of its news presentations and assertions are selective, one-sided, shutting-out of 80%+ of context-creating details, and regularly deliberately intends to manipulate readers into assuming a particular understanding or determination. It's outright dishonest propaganda. Lying by omission is always propaganda, and there's a specific word for it: Conniving. That's what G&M routinely, daily, is.


The hallmark of all Coach Shoji teams was grit. No fear! And as a player, Coach Ah Mow-Santos was the poster child for grit. Ice water. Steely. This team is no different. We see it in Mags' eyes -- in Iosia's, Kahakai's, Granato's, Greeley's, Anderson's, Koelsch's, Ross's, Smith's, and others'. This team won't back down. In fact, they're at their best when their back is against the wall. As Coach says, game time will tell. Greeley has to get healthy. We need her steady hand and v-ball IQ. Sibley, Burns, and Castillo have a world of potential, and we need them to have a breakout season. The biggest difference in the Ah Mow-Santos era will be the grit in the coach's eyes. No fear. No panic. And we're going to see it mirrored on the court. Prediction: This team will go undefeated in conference. Go 'Bows!


"The issue is a tad more complicated than "do you believe in global warming" even if it could be determined with certainty that global warming is a fact.

In letters dated April 12, 2016, to the Vatican’s 120 departments handling funds, Secretary of State Cardinal Parolin halted auditing being done by the international firm Pricewaterhouse Cooper (PwC). “It seems evident that the pope is informed about the correspondence.”  http://www.lastampa.it/2016/04/21/vaticaninsider/eng/the-vatican/vatican-finances-pricewaterhousecoopers-audit-is-suspended-
The office of the Secretary for the Economy, Cardinal Pell, issued a statement that “the so-called ‘concerns’ about the PwC audit and contract were only raised when auditors began asking for certain financial information and were finding it difficult to get answers." http://www.lastampa.it/2016/04/30/vaticaninsider/eng/the-vatican/pell-expresses-fresh-suspicions-over-suspension-of-pwc-audi Then the Vatican said audits would be done by the pope's hand-picked auditor.


These so called alt right nationals are phonies are just like the very same scurge of nationalists that the United States and allies crushed in Europe over 70 years ago. Now they come marching in our streets with the same evil message. The real nationalists in the United States scorn nazis, the KKK, white supremisists, anti-Semites and anti-Muslims.


If we ever find out....our left wing newspapers seem to be very selective over what they report on.


Now it's Colbert?


A huge flaw in the American Justice System. Someone with a lot of money has to challenge one of these not guilty police killer trials. A prosecutor that works for the same government as the cop, normally the same city is prosecuting a fellow employee. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the prosecutor will not give the prosecution his best effort. There has to be an independent prosecutor in the police trials. Someone not connected to the cop in anyway. This would never be allowed in any other type of trial.


Key they will not do all you suggested...So do you still agree with Dave.. Try again how about New Wealth from Land sales ???


It seems clear to me.


The fact that so many lives were lost in this tragic fire indicates either 1) the fire was inadequately contained in the apartment of fire origin and spread quickly inside the building, or 2) people remained in their units and were overcome when heat/smoke entered their apartment through windows. If scenario 2) was at play, then that raises the question of whether or not the building had a voice communication system that was capable of instructing people to leave their apartments. If there was no such system in place, then you have to wonder how many lives could have been saved if there was.


He was a "medic." Isn't it about time to put that sob-story to rest?

Sgt. Chris Speer was an elite Delta Force soldier. Every single one of them is trained to be a lethal weapon. Every special forces unit gives certain members extra training in combat first aid, and in his unit that was Speer. However he carried weapons and was prepared to use them just like any other combat soldier.

The laws of war are clear concerning medics. They must wear an identifying insignia, such as a red cross on their clothing. They may NOT take part in any combat duties. They may only carry a sidearm, and that is only to be used to protect the sick and injured under their care.

Sgt. Speer did none of those things. The instant he went into potential battle with any survivors in the bombed compound, he was an ordinary combatant.


As noted, looks like the Good Doctor wrote that one in something of a state of shock.  ;-)

I had fully expected the market to slump after the election too, by mebbe 10% or better.  Thought it might be a good buying opportunity.  Turns out the "Trump Slump" lasted about six hours.   The equity markets apparently love him (so far).  :-/


Hey, you guys are always accusing "progressives" as ganging up on poor innocent Conservatives.


Don't think Rusty Staub is in the HOF.  And Frank Robinson was in the HOF well before he ever go to Montreal.


One down isn't enough. Hopefully it's the end of this guy and his extremist politics.


Do you seriously expect bishops to send you (and impose on the rest of us) priests who would teach contrary to the Catechism?  Would that even be a reasonable request to make?

"Your Excellency:  Please don't send us priests that teach what the Church teaches, it's not effective with many of us of a certain age.  Please send us priests who teach something else."

A loving gradualist pastoral approach is one thing, but this would be wholly another.


Finally...an honourable senator !


The is a waste of taxpayer money. And it shows that Republicans unfortunately are liars. The rich don't need these subsidies. We cannot have a smaller government if we waste money like this.


I'm loving it, dug out my motorcycle today. 😀


The general news media lies about Trump constantly. How's that working out for you?  The Globe has been 99% wrong about Trump 99%of the time, because it believes, as do most liberal thinkers, hating Trump enough will make him go away.


You right, that's what that reminded me of, one of those ISIS beheading videos. You've done the right thing protecting our freedom (thanks!), there is far more to it than this declining trash.


I absolutely agree that women should be able to choose not to go to a Catholic hospital to get their health care if they aren't happy with or do not agree with the care they will receive.  That is what I have been saying.   That is what "choice" and "freedom" is all about.  Liberals, after all love "choice" don't they--except when people "choose" not to be liberal or accept the tenants of liberalism.

I also agree with you that they should fully understand what care they can and cannot get at a Catholic hospital. This will better empower women to make "choices."  See, you and I agree!

Tell me--as long as you support the idea women should be clearly told about the care they can and cannot get at a Catholic hospital so they can make an informed "choice" do you also support women being told about other options to abortion--so that they can make a fully informed decision------excuse me "choice?"


Just a thought but to make disparaging remarks about Coach Naeole's character for resigning is not fair to him and the program.  He gave of himself under two head coaches and his time and effort to the program and state.  I personally commend him for his efforts under adverse conditions and commitment to his personal values.


Cohen is the epitome of the elite Republicans who have controlled the party for too long and now see their control slipping away.  Their fascist, corporate welfare policies have destroyed the middle class. The imperial war mongering policies have cost trillions and tens of thousands of lives.  The jig is up, millions are waking up. That is why Trump has more votes than any other previous Republican candidate.  The elites like Cohen have enriched themselves by exporting American jobs and calling it "free trade", allowing 30 million illegals to invade our country to keep wages low, and government contracts fueling the military industrial complex to the point where the USA military is bigger than the next ten countries combined.  Notice the call from Republican leadership and Cohen to vote for Clinton. This is all the proof positive needed to show anyone the game is rigged.  It should provide more incentive to put an outsider like Mr. Trump in to sweep out the dirt.


AT:  I am not in some contest, to "lose" or "win."  I am expressing my opinions based on my knowledge of this incident.  Do I condemn the police actions......indeed I do.  I stated at the time and continue to believe that a lack of training regarding dealing with PTSD veterans led to their handling this confrontation in precisely the wrong fashion.  Instead of de-escalating the situation, they escalated it.  You dismiss the quotation from a third-party expert on working with PTSD individuals as ""Hogwash."

I hope the police have learned from this case and will have a better understanding of PTSD issues and how to deal with them without escalating the level of confrontation.  However, the reaction of the EPD has been to defend their every action and not acknowledge any mistakes.  In today's litiguous world, that's the approach virtually everyone takes....Deny, defend.....  Ironically enough, it is an approach which also promotes lawsuits.

Actually its 100% ilegal as reported by both sides cause it not only was slanderous (hookers peeing on trump in baraks old bes??) lol cmon hillary.  Not reporting a campaign payment of 12 million dollars for 30 pages of lies is 100% illegal and it will be interesting once courts orders bank statements to see whos signiture is on the chq.   And best of all if they find any collusion because if the dossier that Hillary's campaign made any lawyer will foam at the mouth to represent Trump cause of the illegal dossier 😂


Nice job tearing your community apart, liberals.


In the fourth century, Jerome wrote of Christians, "Your churches are festooned with silver and gold while Christ himself lies dying on their steps."  It's the same in every age: religion becomes just one more device for acquiring power over men.  The starting mythology is unimportant.  No creed could be more pacifistic than Buddhism, yet look at the violence Sri Lankan Buddhists inflicted on their Hindu Tamil neighbors, or the persecution Burmese Buddhists now inflict on the Muslim Rohingya.  During World War II revered Zen abbots justified Japan's cruel invasion and occupation of China, which caused perhaps 5 million military casualties and an estimated 20 million civilian deaths.

The Alaska Family Act-Outs are just a bunch of people who've kept their audience for 20 years with this kind of ginned-up sexual hysteria.  They have to keep up the stunts or their audience, and hence their self-importance, would just fade away.  Few outside a handful of churches care about this stuff.


AFT, you are correct in your view. The Irish Hierarchy, were pitifully, deferential to the Vatican. They did not act without it's approval. When the abuse scandal broke; they were like rabbits caught in the headlights; they just froze. It also emerged in the Judicial Reviews that each member remained silent about complaints of abuse in their diocese. They did not share or seek advice about how to handle complaints; motivated by the fact that they did not want to be seen as the one who brought scandal on the church. That was their primary goal. A contributing factor also was the selection of bishops. Under JPII & BVI; Papal Nuncios were all of a related template. Unfortunately just before BVI resigned, he promoted his long serving personal assistant (10 yrs) at the CDF, Monsignor Charles Brown (U.S.) as Nuncio and personally consecrated him as Archbishop. A chip off the old block, he continued to use the same template to select nominations for Irish bishops.  All "yes" men of tradition.


Happens every day of the week in every major city in North America, no matter if the victim is black or white. Cops and their superiors protecting fellow cops and willing to perjure themselves. They need to be put under a microscope for every minute they are on the job.


I'm sitting here wondering  how effective the hands off approach to North Korea has been up til now through a multitude of presidents, including the famous Saint Obama.  And, jeepers, I have to come to the conclusion it's not been effective at all.  Which is why I'm puzzled Ignatius is pushing a narrative which seems to imply there are no diplomatic solutions left here - none of them seem to have worked in the past so what difference does it make if there are none left now?  There never were any.  We've been pushed around by North Korea for the past 60+ years and all that's happened on our side is a bunch of hand wringing and internal back slapping because we've been so "diplomatic".  I know a large part of Ignatius's position is simply "get Trump" but at some point we have to open our eyes to the reality of the situation.  And, like I've typed before - the left is more afraid of a Trump success with North Korea than North Korea itself.

The Wynne Liberals have effectively choked off the incredible and lucrative cash flow related to Toronto's land transfer tax.

Talk about shooting themselves in the foot. Sheriff Wynne and her Deputy of Nothing should resign now, just like Glen did.


It apparently shows that this group agrees with trump when he condones sexual assault of women, and agree that grabbing women by the p*ssy is perfectly acceptable. It's truly bizarre that anyone would agree with trump's values of racism and sexism. When a group agrees with these values, coming from a clueless and narcissistic moron, it shows the intelligence level of the entire group. To think that Donald Trump knows anything about Christian values is a joke. Once again, he brings his BS to whatever crowd he happens to be talking to that day. These are the people that fell for his lies, and agree with his twisted values, and why our country is on the verge of a disastrous war.


LFS2,

Then I guess I misread your intent with this comment,   "...exactly why the non-battleground states voters should turn to the Libertarian and Green Parties to cast their votes. I took it to mean ONLY non-battleground states should vote third party. Ok, that's cleared up.

I agree 100% that the two parties  who run the show will not allow any significant change to the rules as they stand. I really hold out no serious hope for that, but for any third party to have a chance to grow that is where it would start. Any third party that does grow to become a significant threat will be co-opted( at a minimum ) or destroyed.  I think third parties serve as an outlet for people who need to feel they are accomplishing something outside of the duopoly we have in this country. That is the function they serve IMO.


Another crazy use of quotes - when you're quoting someone!

Off the hook or what?


It's hard to believe that it's only been a couple of weeks since Trump was sworn in. The Muslim ban , and the Mexican wall are two of the biggest guns in Trump's arsenal  and nothing is left now but to deal with the fallout. It simply is impossible and exhausting to think that this is going to go on for four years.


Yet Chin is a complete hypocrite by failing to honor his open immigration policy by not allowing foreign ships to port in Hawaii and also wouldn't dare to ask the federal government to revoke the Jones Act that only permits American Vessels from porting on any Hawaii port!

......and slowly through the dark night, the troops marched along, soon they would be there, they would arrive at the capital city and help their king overthrow the corrupt leaders that had taken Rome and stolen every thing it owned. Alaric had laid siege to the city for almost two years, before the reinforcements came to finish the job. It was Roman traitors, that opened the side gate, allowing Alaric's troops in. After the battle Alaric paraded triumphantly into the city that had been sacked on 24 August 410. For three days they pillaged the city, removing everything of value. They then did with Rome, as the previous corrupt leaders did.
Power corrupts and absolute power, absolutely corrupts.
Zuma and his people, all of them, MUST be sentenced to heavy terms in prison, to send out a clear signal to future corrupt politicians.

I spent 22 years in the Alaska Army Guard including two years in Bethel.  In this area I served with some very fine soldiers yet I was also forced to serve with dregs who were there only because of the undue political influence of those who saw (and apparently continue to  see) the purpose of the National Guard in rural Alaska to be nothing more than a "jobs program" intended to inject cash in to rural Alaska.  This article demonstrates again exactly why the Commanding General of the Alaska National Guard should not also be a State Commissioner.  This is the National Guard not AIDEA.  While a General Officer would seriously question the military benefit of this ill-defined program that same State Commissioner can think of no better idea. Creating jobs is not a primary military mission yet it is to politicians.  A person in uniform should not be advocating on either side of this purely political effort primarily intended to inject cash into Alaska communities.

I wonder why they had people testify on how bad the damaghe was. It has nothing to with who started the fire. I would agree that should be discussed during the punishment phase but to find guilt? I mean really. " My house was burnt to the ground and I lost everything I own in the world" Thats only grounds for punishment if found guilty, not evidence of guilt.


Many people on the right condemn the "Alt-right" as neo-nazis and racists.  Few people on the left seem to condemn Antifa and the other violent leftist protesters - but in fact justify their behavior.  If both sides would just be honest then conversations could be more productive.


Give it up.  Your idiotic statements turning black into white and white into black are just another example of a pathological liar like Il Duce Trump, your glorious leader.


Good. Trump will probably be impeached within 48 hrs moving into the white house, and it won't be because of the Russians hacking. There's so many bizarre things about how Trump is even speaking for the USA. He should have stuck  to reality TV lies, because real life isn't a USA production with re-takes.


WHOOP-DE-DOOO, BFD.............. Monthly rent, including utilities, will range from $990 a month for a studio to $1,700 for a two-bedroom unit.

This developer says he is doing this to revitalize downtown.  Balderdash, they are doing it to make money and for tax benefits..........Excuse me, now I know who cut the cheese.............

BTW:  I am not against anyone investing to make a profit, just say so. Yes, we are building these apartments to make money instead of, we are doing this just to pretty up downtown.  Although this is one way to get rid of the UnSavories   in that area.


That's not what studies show and I for one got an excellent public education. Aside from that, why should I pay for someone's kids to go to private school? Or to a religious school?  Or to an unregulated school?  You want your kids in private school, religious school, home school, unregulated school? Pay for it yourself.

Nationalism and politics are 2, different things.  Our excessive (and mostly phony) displays of "patriotism" (AKA nationalism) sometimes make me uncomfortable.  When you overdo something, it tends to lose its meaning and impact.  I am a very-patriotic person, and I don't feel the need to watch some contrived spectacle to prove that to myself.  And by the way, both the Rockies and the Broncos need to get bigger flags if they ever plan on winning the "largest-flag-ever-trotted-out-onto-a-field" contest.


We are becoming a nation of baristas! Sunny ways!!


No, it wasn't 1990. It was late 1980s. I moved to Toronto in 1989 and the bubble was already deflating. Yes, it was caused by Hong Kong immigrants buying up everything with the money they fled Hong Kong with.

What can we do? Asians love real estate. It is a big part of their culture. And we have lots of Asians in Ontario and BC.


At least some nearby oil & gas guys cleaned up this spill, although it doesn't say if they were reimbursed for their efforts.


Since the district commissioners have carved $50,000 out of the charitable fund which paid for hospital bills of the needy, they need to use the money for real needs in our community not political allies. PIMC provides women's reproductive needs.PP has a presence here as well. PP boasts of over $300 million in assets and eleven directors with over 6 figure incomes. They don't need our local money. Ask the commissioners to spend our money on local needs such as hospice, domestic violence support, mental health care, drug abuse prevention, nutritional support programs, home health care and paramedical programs before charitable birth control. This does not come down to a Pro-life or Pro-choice decision. It is a fiduciary decision. Those of you unwavering PP supporters are trying to influence our community without looking at the specific needs of our community. The need for PP expansion does not out way the causes mentioned above.


Unfortunately, there's a lot of folks out there who value stiggin' it to the libs more than their own economic well being.

What you should have done is stay positive in your support for public schools but leave out the BS racist & other attacks you made on private schools in an attempt to bolster your case.  Your opinion piece did just the opposite & reinforced to parents that if they can do so, they should send their kids to private schools in Hawaii.  My opinion is that parents should send their kids to private schools in Hawaii but if that is a financial hardship send their kids to public school until the 6th grade, then try to get them in from 7th grade on.  Honolulu magazine ranked Hawaii public schools & agree there are some terrific public elementary schools in Hawaii that would rival Punahou or Iolani.  HOWEVER, at the intermediate & high school levels are the most differentiation between private and public schools.  If you can ever take politics, greed & the unions out of the DOE, will be the day public schools will be on par with private schools (it was pre WW2).  Don't hold your breath for that.

Think twice before you think of taking others money for your purposes. Most people call that theft. Except politicians (or leftists). But then all politicians are by definition thieves. They exist by taking from others to feed their agenda and bribe their sycophants.


It’s a hugely complicated issue, especially considering the businesses, money, and movies intertwined in all this. Sadly many young actors probably feel they have no choice but to go along with the casting couch and/or take settlements.

McGowan did agree to a settlement that includes keeping her mouth shut. If she feels the need to speak up now, that’s another complication. But at least return the settlement money first.


Hate to disappoint you kids but, man made climate change is a hoax. Keep your money.


The questions is, will the end result be better than what the government offers.


It is clear from both the polls and from what I see in our local community...  Support for TMT is a large majority in the island community, while support amoung native Hawaiians is pretty much an even split.

No, YOU get your facts straight.  It wasn't "Juneau" that refused to pay, it was YOUR LEGISLATORS, where Anchorage legislators are a near-majority.  Juneau, which pays for its own police service in the entire borough, unlike Anchorage, had NOTHING to do with it.

Doesn't make sense to get on the phone, let an intruder know you know he's in the house, rather than stop the threat. If he is armed, intends to rape or kill us, I'd rather have the element of surprise.  It's our home. He's violating the law, our safety and security.  If in a public place with an active shooter, run, hide, fight.  If in my home, the first two options are most likely not going to be considered for long.


Well, you seem to care.
