What is it about Liberal supporters who hate Mulroney and Conservatives that compel you to constantly lie, dissemble and exaggerate so obviously and embarrassingly?

True, it is a Liberal political tradition but why not leave it to the actual Liberal politicians who are so good at it?

Joe Clark was born into a comfortable middle class family who for many years ran a weekly newspaper in the small Alberta town city of High River.  But anyone with half a clue would know that running a little weekly newspaper in a town of 12,000 is hardly the ticket to riches and silver spoons.

As to The Clark Mansion, there is no Clark Mansion.  There is a Clark Residence which is quite large (you can google the pictures of it) but hardly a mansion.  It is an historic site but only because it was the residence of three generations of Clark newspaper publishers.

Please make some effort to be more truthful.  If you ever do, some of us will take you seriously enough to respond to some of your posts.


Did not win on Dancing with the Stars.....  Reality TV player,  same as Trump.


BULL!!  You are a waste of my time...


— Ken Rocheleau, I sooooo agree with you and have been stating the same for a long, long time.


Interesting.  I heard the EXACT same argument you are making last July, in Scotland.  :-/   There and then, the topic was the Brexit vote.


Obviously they have to diversify their product line if they want to fly the rest of the seasons. If not that would explain their high price model.


OK, Russian bot.

Removing "status", as you not so eloquently put it (I'm guessing you mean "statues") doesn't rewrite history.  I can, however, give you an example of how the statues do rewrite history

Kentucky was a slave state that never seceded.  90,000 Kentuckians fought for the Union.  35,000 fought for the Confederacy.  There are 72 monuments to the Confederacy in that state, and only 2 to the Union.  Who is rewriting history?


Clinton, Andy already explained all of this to you many times to your other comments. Yes, the District has the flexibility in the contract to adjust hiring according to the budget and thank goodness. You could also say with your logic that it is the fault for teachers being alive and able to breath air that we have this fiscal challenge and you would be technically correct. Yes, teachers are being let go and they start with recent hires, of course. You don't propose a solution--do you want random names being drawn from all the teachers? Or start letting the most experienced teachers go first? You are incessantly stuck in knocking down our teachers and education system for some ill-conceived reason. The majority of us want a quality community and education system that is not dependent upon oil and we'll keep opposing your misguided stubbornness on this issue. Small various taxes in many facets are what all communities are doing to support quality education. The free ride is over.


Since when is rise of seven tenth of a percent in one month  a slight increase?


"The likelihood of of Democrats winning a fourth consecutive presidential term will be reduced if the Republican Party reverts to its practice, adhered to since it chose John C. Fremont in 1856, of nominating a Republican."

Ha!  Good one.


No one is imposing suffering on anyone in the church. Not today. To impose "suffering" is like subtracting from the church community, its circle of supporters. The best step toward independence from a church, severing ties, is to impose suffering on parishioners.


These two events are not really equivalent at all. Intentions are key. I'm no apologist for US imperialism/exceptionalism but the US airstrike was not intended to kill civilians and they have taken responsibility. Assad's sarin attack on Khan Sheikhoun, on the other hand, manifestly was intended to kill civilians and the regime is desperately throwing up chaff and misinformation to evade accountability. Moreover, the bright line between the use of conventional weapons and the prohibition on the use of chemical weapons is not a contrived formality rendered meaningless because they both end up creating dead people. Turning a blind eye to the use of chemical weapons against international prohibitions is a very slippery slope that could lead to the normalization and proliferation of the strategic use of these weapons, which — unlike the use of high explosives — presents unique threats to civilization on a mass scale.


Simon & Seafort's scratch margarita.  Fughetaboutit!


Thanks Adam, now time to head back to the Liberal/Trudeau PR room and get busy on your next praise piece.


Wow. My old Roomate really is as big of a piece of shit as I thought


Strange to see Canadians actually cheering for the Mango Mussolini. We,  like all other former friends and allies of Americans, are now the enemy. Nothing in his world vision is positive, not even for Americans, and especially not for Canada.
America will not be first as he claims.  Under Trump it will be last in every measurable thing that actually counts.


Sorry, but we are a sanctuary state  but have not declared it as such.   The practice of sheltering illegals on the sly has been going on for over 20 years but since Trump became President,
it has been coming to the surface.  One example is the state AG's involvement in joining in the legal challenge against the temporary halt of muslim travelers from certain muslim countries.


Millions each year? That would be awesome but very doubtful it is that many...


What a load of bull.

Yes !

But which Shoe was it ? ;^ )

I"m simply telling the truth. But to those who would prefer a more fictional narrative, I can understand how troubling that must be.


Actually, if you look at the post to which Joe was replying, it was from Kat ("And the usual board racists are spending the day defending Trumps genocide."), not me.  However, it's comical that you're so desperate to label me as a racist that you don't even take the time to read the thread.
Typical of people like you who can't tolerate the opinions of others.  Get over yourself.


I'm a Christian and wouldn't accept that at a public school.  You have Sunday school, youth groups, home, and church for those things.  School is school.  Not only is it inappropriate to treat the classroom like a pulpit, its illegal.

They gave this girl a horrible start in life.  Reducing her grades and jeopardizing her college opportunities could have long term effects.  I hope she wins big and I hope the authorities come in and clean out that school.


You really "gotta be kidding." If Berkowitz had caught a baby that had fallen out of a window, you, Ravin' and Kon Man would be looking for some surreptitious motive.


Bill is a sweetheart and an all-around awesome dude. He somehow manages to make an open mic at a vegan punk bar (Blackwater) work, and work well.


I'm sure your opinion will resonate with some but I'm also sure it could put an end to public art in Langley.
My 2 cents, your mileage may vary.


You mean the Obama who brought unemployment from around ten percent down to around 4%? The Obama who brought the economy from a severe contraction to 3% annual GDP growth? The Obama who saved the US auto industry? The Obama whose Fed took a paralyzed finance sector and made it function again? The Obama who inherited an S&P 500 at 805 and helped it grow 235% to 3079? THAT Obama? By the way, the 401(k) cap is stingy.


Um, I cant be the only one that disputes your logic. If by cake, you mean a selection of guns in colonial times, by all means get a front end loader and have at it. If you are willing to dissect your straw man you'll find you aren't talking about cake. You are talking about ..oh, how about a garden. In this garden as time goes on you are growing more variety of things and more of them. So someone comes to you and says hey, you can't grow that and regulates part of your garden away, gone is the bazooka or opium. Then comes back a few years later and says hey, what's that there? Out go the tommyguns and grenades. Then a little later as people come up with more creative and efficient ways to kill each other we decide maybe high capacity clips, high tech ammo, and even some models are just not things we want casually available in society. Personally, I have no idea what a reasonable amount of firearms per person is but we know excessive when we see it.


325 deaths per year does not mean all outdoor cats should be exterminated. Such logic is not applied to cars or other things.
Pointing this out is not deflection. It simply shows that feral cat opponents do not actually believe their own premises.


The NHL belongs to the Toronto Maple Leafs!!!


Setting aside the dubious argument that affirmative action is discrimination, OK, so how should the low rate of minority enrolment in American colleges be addressed? Since you seem so concerned about discrimination, please enlighten us as to your thoughts on solutions.


BET of course has no worries   their racial biases will be investigated.


While I feel sorry for Otto's family, this serves as a cautionary tale that the best way to visit Pyongyang is from 40000 ft in a B2 bomber……


Save our City, how many out there got this in the mail? WHY KIRK CALDWELL IS NOT FIT OR QUALIFIED TO BE MAYOR OF HONOLULU!  Good article also bridges here have not been maintain a accident waiting to happen shown pictures on the news.  Think about this as you go the polls!


A good photo of those tiny white hands, which have never touched a hammer or wrench... only a silver spoon. A real "man of the person".


Let the FBI investigate.


You are the troll here. Get over yourself


It's you who fail to understand the meaning of "pro bono."  (Look it up.)  Khadr's  lawyers weren't acting pro bono, but rather, as so many in the profession do, worked on a contingency basis.  As he was successful, they will take their negotiated cut (rumoured to be around $5M).  Had he lost, they'd get nothing.


I would be interested to find out why Daily Maverick did not publish a photograph of Saurabh Aggarwal.


Perhaps 'barking dog' is more diplomatic than 'braying ass.'


It's interesting that Hillary would mention the elections in Kenya to make her point here.  One, Hussein Obama was born there and two, the corruption in the Kenyan government reminds one of the Hillary's own corruption in this government when she was Secretary of State.


When asked about his victim, he said "no body."


Actually, the irony is that in Trudeau's "feminist" government, having the portfolio for women is considered a demotion.


From reporting on Harvey, I'd say Harvey response by far topped Katrina's response.

I was a 1st responder to Katrina in NOLA.  FEMA barred search and rescue efforts for days after the hurricane left.  Federal, state & local law enforcement agencies of the SE states were ready to respond before the hurricane hit & started towards or were already in NOLA the day after it hit. LEOs from around the country were also on their way.  FEMA immediately put out a stand down order to all federal law enforcement until FEMA decided it was safe to enter NOLA.  FEMA also claimed that those LEOs from the gulf states don't know the immediate needs of persons/cities that were hit by hurricanes.  DUH!  Our purpose Was search, rescue & to make the city safe.  NOPD had very few officers left to aid in this effort due to being stranded, killed, or just fled the city in the midst of the damage and chaos. & who knows more about the needs of hurricane victims than those who survived numerous of them.


Nothing is ever good enough for them and nothing is ever enough. We should seriously consider separation, slice up a piece of the nation give it to them and say see ya later.


I'd totally love that. But still kinda hard... just relying on picture alone.  Now if they add facial recognition scans to that, then we might have a winner.


Love to watch the libtard left get there hopes far off the ground, only to have themselves slam back down when they return to earth...again...and again...and again....


Yes and COER even sent out a fundraising e-mail...

The bottom says with e-mail addresses omitted:
=======================
Feel free to email one of us to learn more. Each of us is part of a growing network of people seeking to inform ourselves and one another about the militarization of our region, the Growler, and to promote facts and hope for reconciliation for all of our needs.

Help support the effort for this ECONOMIC STUDY. See you Monday, May 23rd. You'll love Michael.

Wann Regards, The Steering Committee -

Maryon Attwood ; Vicki Robin; Jan Pickard; Tom Ewell; and Catherine Andrews
=======================
I'm a little wary of making e-mail addresses public but considering Maryon Attwood is the current President of COER, Jan Pickard & Cate Andrews have both been very active in COER uh folks the jig is up.

Yes, some of these are good arguments to make.  But not when the underlying motivation is to quote Ken Pickard, "close the base".


Yes, we are committed on spying on you. LMAO


Alaska is no longer "The Last Frontier."  In the Frontier, advances are made for the good of the people.  No one bats an eyelash at the building of a road here and there.  In this case, the road could likely be built with a minimal impact on wildlife, but that's not the issue at stake...it is the sacred principles of lower 48 environmentalists that cannot be compromised in any way.  Alaska is now "The Last Wilderness."  The Federal government has mandated that it will be so, now and forever, and there is absolutely nothing that the citizens of Alaska can do to change that...not even powerful ones who are United State Senators, and most certainly not the lowly residents of a place like King Cove.

"they don't see men and women as equal"
That's right they see men as being less deserving than women. This society is decidedly anti-male.


Well for all the people rejoicing about this decision, you'd have to think they had a viable alternative.

We need to do something as global citizens. We only have one planet, and it's a real beauty. We need to take care of it.

All this posturing and partisanship and name-calling is unhelpful. It's like the passengers on the Titanic arguing about deckchairs while the ship is sinking.

I'm glad Trudeau is taking a principled approach. He is right that we don't have to - and in fact shouldn't - treat the environment and economics as two separate issues.

We'll feel some pain, and some people will whine, but most of us will understand that sometimes we have to rise above pettiness, show leadership, and make sacrifices.

Tick-tock, time is running out.


here's hoping


Wrong again, bavius - I meant it. Why are you here if you don't like it? If you think G&M pays any attention to your posts then I'd suggest you see somebody about that - somebody with a nice comfy couch who you can talk to instead of us.

And congrats, jones, - if bavius is right then you got one thing correct in your life. And only 14 years ago. You and bavius must be so proud. (bavius, that's all you can come up with? Iraq? wow!)


You are an ignorant bitch and are talking shit. Get a life bitch. I dont have guns or do I know someone that killed themselves after killing someone else. You better check your facts!!!


OldBanister, pre nups can be and are regularly overturned and "adjusted" by judges. Therefore,they are basically useless.....


We need to do more than talk on the internet.  Someone needs to start a socialist club so we can push our agenda.  The Republicans want a Red State, let's give them real red flag with power to the people.


and yes, taxes need to increase unless you want a massive round of austerity which would guarantee a prolonged recession until oil prices go back up, (which may never happen thanks to the frackers that the neocons love so much).


CFIA forgot to apply the what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine clause

Another example how the lobby groups lack credibility


Maybe he is putting too much energy into his black power salute.


I agree insofar as it is not Trump's fault per se. Trump is more a symptom of decades-long issues than the cause. But you call for less criticism of the president?? If we ever have president who escapes constant scrutiny and criticism then it's time to pack my bags and apply for Mexican citizenship. This "PC crap" is nothing new...presidents have always been careful about their words in public. Nixon was open about the use of racist pejoratives in private and LBJ was perhaps one of the least couth - yet most effective presidents in modern history.


<<I am very surprised that the discovery that most of Trump's tax in 2005 ($30 million) was Alternative Minimum Tax, and he has stated his intention to eliminate that tax, has not caused more furor.>>
I think there are just too many outrageous things going on around Trump -- too many to sustain sufficient or appropriate outrage for all of them.
<<I figure Trump can be impeached whenever congress chooses to remove him.>>
I agree. I think he was impeachable before he removed his hand from the Bible on Inauguration Day.


the usa is the sane alternative pal, lowering taxes and regulations not increasing them which mean they will prosper and we will go down the toilet while accomplishing nothing for emmissions in the big picture since canada spews all but a hickup of them

Konrad's article is a gross exaggeration of the problems of condos governance. I have lived in a condo in Vancouver for nearly 25 years, and was on the council for maybe 15 years. Certainly there is room for improvements, particularly better service from the management companies, better quality construction from the developers and more participation from the owners, but overall the system works rather well, the buildings are well-maintained, the place is peaceful and there are few conflicts between residents. There is no evidence of fraud. The provincial government improves the legislation from time to time. Other benefits: excellent transit and great access to all services and amenities.
There is a need for more family oriented condos, and to control flipping and speculation in new developments.


I also heard Sharapova was serving free borscht in key democrat strongholds - classic case of Russian influence and voter suppression.


"he chips away at the constitution and thwarts the laws and precedents of this country. He is setting up an autocratic situation slowly but surely"
The remarkably ironic thing, at least in my nonpartisan perspective, is that Republicans for years complained about exactly the same thing about Obama based upon his position and policy, ie. his thoughts on the matter, even though his conduct pretty much strictly adhered to legal and constitutional doctrines.  In other words, Republicans claimed such on purely ideological disagreement.  Now the Republicans are silent when Trump's conduct, not just his position or policy, is in violation of the Constitution (providing preferential treatment for Christians on the amnesty ban) or law (placing Bannon on the NSC).  Actually, I shouldn't say "silent."  It seems their response is for Democrats and the media noting such actions should "stop whining."


Lee, sorry but your writing exhibits signs of sexism. "Little lady"? Gee.

Also, this proposal isn't 100% far fetched. Hair stylists have long been sources of consolation. Some are better than the counselors, attorneys and doctors you suggest. At least they listen. Call HR? Sure. I'd like to share that information at work. (Not.)  And, yes, are you saying stylists (who are mostly female BTW and do turn into friends over the years) are dumber than muay thai instructors? Sounds like it.

I also agree with others who challenge your use of statistics. 3% of the contracts to women-owned firms? What percent of the firms are women-owned in the first place? Perhaps it would make you feel better if those firms got extra contracts to boost the award ratio.


Enjoy your koolaid


Yes. The answer is that the government should be deliberately developing policies that will cause a labour shortage, so that employers have an incentive to hire qualified workers without regard to age, sex, color or any of the other factors that improperly influence hiring decisions.  Note that up to now, immigration policies and the TFW program have been calculated to insure a labour surplus, thereby preventing upward pressure on wages and allowing employers to be picky about who they hire.


Right Rich, why would CSIS recommend the government block the sale of ITF? Why would two former Directors of CSIS recommend a full national security review of Norsat? Norsat is a specialized satallite technology company that currently services Canadian and US militaries. What about China being caught red-handed in Canada with spies trying to steal military data on the F-22 and F-35 fighter planes? What about China's unapologetic contempt for patent law and intellectual property rights?  Canada should still do business with China but not when it comes at the expense of national security - as identified by Canada's national security experts - and "sunny ways" Trudeau certainly doesn't fall into that category. Never mind, nothing to see here, Trudeau has an extensive background in teaching drama and snowboard lessons, the bonafides for any national security professional - should definitely go with his gut instead of the advice from CSIS and National Defence (it's 2017)...


The White House is playing silly games.  Canada should call their bluff.

Not many people are aware of, or choose to remember, that Peacekeeper Pearson allowed US nuclear weapons to be deployed on Canadian platforms.


And yet you wonder why outside these boards the alt-right is laughed at.


"To err is human; to forgive, divine."


You have it exactly backwards.

If an employer makes a VOLUNTARY agreement with an employee, then by definition, there is no exploitation.

However, if government imposes a minimum wage, then by definition, there is exploitation, because a minimum wage is FORCE.


These town hall meetings are useless since they are now being taken over by the radical left.  Saul Alinsky, the American Communist activist loved by Hillary and Barrack, would be very proud.  Modern democrats who do not understand this are "useful idiots".   The Democrats are continuing to destroy what has always been good in America.


I think he'd vote against any Trump nomination regardless.


When Trump and the Republicans want to take health insurance away from millions of Americans to fund a massive tax cut for the rich, when Trump allows global warming to continue apace so that the Koch Brothers can become even richer, when Trump tries to obstruct criminal investigations, when he indulges in blatant conflicts of interest, when he flat-out lies, then it is proper to protest it. You want to call this "hateful rhetoric", as if you conservatives didn't display hateful rhetoric against Obama.


It's on Denali Borough lands.  Should be easy to snag.


Canada's corporate taxes are among the lowest in North America.

Check your facts.


Hillary didn't keep DT out of your so called "circle", he opened his mouth and the ugly side of republican's emerged. "Increasing flow of proof"? There is no proof of anything except your ongoing misogyny. Enjoy the election.


You must be smoking some heavy sh😴t.


I'm waiting for SeminoleChop to come in here and claim the reason for the heart attack is due to a grizzly bear being nearby.  He thinks Colorado is full of them.


While encouraging energy efficient homes is an admirable goal, leaving so much of the code open-ended is likely going to cause problems.
From the article, it sounds like even the term "major life-cycle event" is pretty much undefined.
I can see an over-zealous provincial government defining replacement of a broken window as a "major life-cycle event" which could mean the cost of fixing that 1 broken window goes from $200 to $20,000 because now the homeowner is required to replace all the windows.
In this hypothetical case, the homeowner who can't afford $20,000 would just tape up the broken window, which, of course, results in a less energy efficient house.


What if you have to miss a day of work?

Oh, wait - that won't be a problem, will it?

Nevermind...


Great effort by two very good teams both with a lot of heart and more importantly teams filled with a lot of good kids.


"Fall" in the Colorado front range and eastern plains consists of brief periods of summer weather followed by periods of winter weather.  There is no middle ground, just the two seasons.


from the article: "Hungry for new oil development amid an unprecedented fiscal crisis, the Walker administration is now pressing ConocoPhillips to fulfill what the administration is calling the company's "commitment" to drill the exploration well by June."

.

Good for the folks in Nuiqsut for stopping developments that they feel would be detrimental to their community. We down here in SC should do the same.

.

Why no urgency to fix that gas pipe leak in Cook Inlet - that has got to be costing Alaska in lost revenues in this "unprecedented fiscal crisis;" at least that's what I assume?  None of our news outlets can manage the effort to report on who owns that leaking gas. Perhaps we are giving it away for free because it is being blown skyward and not sold? Gotta love the way the extraction business works.


And Trudeau gave that Foundation millions of Canadian Tax Payers money, it is one big ponzi scheme.


Hooray. It's just not okay to have sex with someone who can't give consent. Minors, drunk people, handicapped. I'm sure the conviction will be overturned, but a temporary acknowledgment of impropriety is a step in the right direction.


Keolu should post the link rather than continue to lie....  these studies compare headstart preschool programs with other "broadbased" preschool programs.  Conclusion: they're all good.

He lies that those who do NOT get these programs do not NEED them. Many do who lack the brain stimulation at home where their mothers lack the time to care for them and her friends who sleep during the day just wake up to feed and clean the kids in the crib. Mother comes home and is too tired to care for them and no siblings to play with.

These are the kids who get further and further behind in school and wind up being teen age mothers, unemployed, in prison, or on welfare. If we screen for these kids and provide for their preschool needs, the programs pays for itself in terms of future social costs, and the loss of the benefits of their work and jobs.


OMG! What are you doing in my bathroom!


Joe Arpaio’s tenure as Sheriff was characterized by gratuitous cruelty, racism, incompetence, and systematic violations of constitutional rights.

So Donald Trump’s pardon of him was overdetermined:

It is highly relevant that Trump and Arpaio first became allies while Trump was rising to prominence within the Republican Party by pushing the racist conspiracy theory that Barack Obama was not born in the United States.

The Arizona sheriff actually launched a farcical investigation into Obama’s birth certificate, wasting taxpayer money to build his cred with his resentful white supporters.

That Arpaio and Trump would become mutual admirers was inevitable.

They are both racist buffoons.


Sorry Bana's mother, you're not going back to Aleppo ever.  You never had any local support for your jihadi reign of terror there and nobody wants you back.  People of all faiths are celebrating Christmas in public there.  Your dad would have killed them back when his gang was in charge.


I re-read it.  It seems obvious to me.


Imagine that, the presidency isn't a reality show. Well at least it wasn't until Trump got into office and started to rearrange "things". And it gets scarier by the day.
Never mind God help America, they supposedly elected him. God help the rest of the world while this clown occupies the White House.
As very pointed tongue wagged: "Trump gets a call from George W. Bush, thanking him for finally moving him from the "worst President ever" position."
No, we didn't think that could happen, we were wrong!


Having expressed your support above of "blowing his arse up" as a solution to the NK issue, apparently with no regard for the hundreds of thousands of resultant casualties, I really have to question who is the actual coward here.


"All 64 Colorado counties observe a policy of not holding illegal immigrants without an arrest warrant signed by a judge."  Is it legal to hold someone suspected of committing any crime without a warrant?  The problem is that only ICE can enforce federal immigration laws, but does not have have the personnel to apprehend suspected illegal aliens without local agencies' having to "hold" them indefinitely.  On the other hand, some will consider the entire state to be a "sanctuary" state.


How does this ad hominem comment respond to the article's content/opinion/argument?  What about it do you take issue with?  Is it the concept of equal opportunity, which is a fundamental principle of democracies and our constitution.  You don't believe in it or you don't believe it exists?  Well, it's true the rich, powerful and famous are more equal than others - take Grace Mugabe and the manner the ANC government speedily granted her immunity to shield her from an assault charge, and Oscar Pistorius' lenient sentence - but that's abuse or undermining of constitutional principles - mostly just politics - and is never right.  I may not necessarily agree with Bernstein's opinions, which I only know from these articles - this one I can't fault.  But generally if I disagree I try and say why, otherwise I'm merely venting pointlessly, which no-one wants to hear.


Yup , paint it black or gray(paint from OD green),put in a different package , change the name and triple the price. Companies that produce less lethal munitions initially made for military  which was bought in bulk. They are also the same companies that produce dispensers. It's all about money.

Same with you and Trump I take it?


I am not convinced Dr. Fischer "endorses" the sale of alcohol with open advertising and promotion. I read it more as a reluctant acknowledgement of what is.

It would be interesting to see if he would actually  prefer to see the LCBO revert to the old days of alcohol being doled out from behind a counter.


Commissioner Monegan came to Chevak when we didn't have a police force and helped our village get a building  and helped us restart our public safety dept. He's a great listener and is perfect for the job. Also he's a big supporter of local Search and Rescue, welcome back my friend.


Considering their top notch health insurance, retirement pkg and many paid days off including ridiculous holidays where the rest of the city is working, I'd say they are sitting pretty golden.


HEY CLAUDE....UR 4GOT 2 RITE UR....... RU DUMEE?


The New Brunswick govenment decided to license a company, which has provided tainted product and still doesn't know how the pot was poisoned.  This gives me little confidence that government regulation and control is such a good idea.


Wowsers! Cardinal Farrell disagrees with Tridentinus, who, as he has so often told us, is the one the Holy Spirit ACTUALLY speaks through. Well, I guess we've been told.


If you seen the video of that Asian teacher pushing the man and then the man getting beaten by her friends while she runs, you wouldn't be saying that.  Cops agree as she had charger files against her.  I am not for the Nazis, they are wrong, but the others are equally at fault as 2 wrongs don't make a right.

Speaking of statues, I believe we should take down the Kamaehameha Statue as that is not of him, but of my family.  Go Google it, you might learn something.  We should also take down a few other statues and monuments in Hawaii that are an eye sore to me.  Though I don't mind as it's not in my view, the telescope on the big island comes to mind, Captain Cooks memorial is another.


Because you accused her of avoiding a public school by attending a school for kids with disabilities.

"flanked by school officials at a private autism center in Denver....DeVos spoke Wednesday after touring the Firefly Autism center...The Denver-based autism center was chosen because of its role in the landmark Supreme Court case that involved a south suburban Denver family," states the story.

So autism is not a special-needs category? Maybe we should start this exchange of information and opinion over.


It would have been a great project for high school & college industrial arts students, who could have earned while they learned. Park administrators should be ashamed of themselves for wasting money like this. Coming so soon after their bungled search on the Elwha this makes the park bosses look insensitive and cloddish. Fire them all.


Yeah, you would think that! Read (for instance) Barnard College sexual assault policy:  https://barnard.edu/publicsafety/crime-report/sexual-assault-policy


Stand on the street corner with a sign that says: "Hungry"


Also, if you look at his Uncle Andy Anderson's restaurant that was spilling sewage straight out of Jameson's Restaurant in Haleiwa, into Haleiwa Harbor you will begin to see why he was able to just reopen and say they will serve less people.  Problem solved? No. Sewage still spilling into the fish pond nearby as well as the Haleiwa Harbor.

How you may ask? Well with Ikaika, Andy's nephew, as zoning chair and his grandson Cord Anderson on the Planning Commission, it's no coincidence Andy does what he wants.  Thank god Ikaika is no longer Vice Chair although that position really doesn't have much official authority from my understanding.

Oh yeah, one last thing.  All of the Andersons have donated to Kirk Caldwell and Ikaika is a clear supporter of Kirk as he is often campaigning for him.  Andy Anderson has contributed to Kirk and so has Cord Anderson. No coincidences.


The hydro lines suppling electricity to your home are already under rated. Now add in 10 homes on the same street charging their EVs all at the same time and you have hydro lines burning off the insulators at the pole.

We don't have the necessary hydro infrastructure, nobody does anywhere on the planet to charge millions of EVs at the same time.

How many fast charge spots do you think a gas station can provide right now? Possibly 4 at most, provided there are no other gas stations close by doing the same or anyone else drawing large amounts of electricity on the same transmission line.

What happens when 10 vehicles pull up to get a charge? Nothing if you have an hour to wait for a charge. Do you have an hour or more to wait to get a charge if there's a lineup?


Where are his supports who will proclaim this is is an injustice. For obviously the clown had no idea what he was selling was illegal under federal law and his firearm possession is protected by the 2nd amendment.


So you believe EVERY person who lives in a state won by Trump, actually voted for Trump?


What century is this? What century does the CC think it is?


Who is president, you or Trump.  Sorry, but what was achieved by you"  If stupid made people successful then this world  would  flow with a torrent of intellectual debates at coffee shops instead of nose in smartscreen  and the streets would be filled with lively chatter instead of grunts into cell phones and well read individuals would be extolling the virtue of  proper social conduct instead of spitting after each smoke inhalation; wearing pants down to knees as if left over from morning bathroom affectations and women globally would not be wrapped up in cloth forced to hide their identity as if non existent while forbidden to drive in society with cave dwelling mentality.

No Kamal, we don't hate Muslims, we just hate you.


The planet, the 8,000-mile-diameter oblate spheroid of iron, olivine, and silicates will do just fine, yes. Humanity can't harm that. Yet.
People like you refuse to see humanity's mass detrimental impacts on the ecosphere. Species are dying off, the ocean is being polluted with plastic, anthropogenic global warming is real, and your answer is to yawn.


No, they gave him the reason he was looking for to stop supporting HS competitive sports. Freedom of association. It's in there too.


"you follow orders and be thankful that you have someone in your car to drive instead of driving around with an empty car" Seriously dude, you give orders?  This is the type of f... pompous attitude that you get for having the "privilege" of getting your little 5 star rating... I don't think any Uber driver feels better than anything, they are doing this out of ne-ce-si-ty, and it's people like YOU, who feel like they are the big sh..  because they get to ride in the back and "command" orders.., who make this awesome way of people making a living and not having to collect unemployment, a cast system - where however is the back is the ranks of higher hierarchy, but I can't blame you- you are just acting like the rest of the herd, a pathetic worthless creation who has not seen the world outside his little bubble, I feel bad because you don't understand how putting others down only reflects who you are...or in your case what you are...but carry on - I


Don't worry, he and Michelle and the girls will be gone come January...


I'm not hanging on to either.

Don't own either.

Though my wife does have tulip bulbs. Not as a major investment though.

At least, I hope it's not a major investment!


Trump has zero interest in history, because it isn't about him.


You mean her breaking of dozens of laws and regulations in secretly disclosing the Justice Dept Hillary investigation to Bill on his airplane?  Oh, not at all- I think we need to THANK her for that: Because of that, it ultimately led to Comey's decision to go public with the results of the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton-- that, along with every other thing she did wrong- wrecked her at the election!  I think Lynch should be awarded the Presidential medal of Freedom!


The religion of peace.


I grew up in SE, I went outside for undergrad and grad in geology. It's good for kids from the small pools to experience life outside in a big pool. My parents never allowed me to spend my PFD so I had plenty of money to cover the Western Undergraduate Exchange tuition at the state university I chose. I found a job in Juneau immediately after graduation from graduate school and have been working and living in Alaska since 2004- started in mining but have now transitioned to government work due to lack of jobs.


I've traveled quite a bit, and so know first-hand the difference between visiting a country where women are confidently walking around the streets and parks marketplaces and public spaces, and those where they are almost invisible and barely tolerated there, scurrying hidden in veils.

Those where women are employed in jobs dealing with the public, chatting with customers, and those where they are hidden deep inside the houses and shops.

I know which kind of society I want to live in.


Sounds like age discrimination to me. If you're old enough, you don't have to live on campus? This just makes college more expensive and is a money grab.


Except Truman was a Democrat who beat Thomas Dewey.


I agree that we must remain cool. We must keep our powder dry.  We need not hector and cajole. But we need to state firmly where we disagree. Trump is responsible for our first mass murder in modern times. Bissonette
loves Trump, he loves Le Pen.  Spades need to be called spades.


Republicans made life difficult for Obama by opposing him every step of the way. It's part of politics. Trump is not exempt from this and needs to realize that a leader with too many enemies can't get anything done.


Canadian public service pension funding is a ongoing and growing serious problem simply because there is NO reserve fund at all for future pension obligations


What's the matter with torture? Every country does it.


The WH has good reason to speak negatively about the structural concerns of the ACA. They are also valid in criticizing the CBO's track record of predicting impacts of health policy. It's hard to understand what they find "flawed" in the current report; the WH should clarify.


Nice to see the establishment whining !!! #MAGA


The Mental-Health Corporation of Denver is a non-profit corporation that operates on contributions, fees, and grants.  I'm sure some of those grants come from governmental agencies, but otherwise, this organization is not subsidized in the same manner as other housing projects.  This is a very-cool partnership, indeed, and I hope it works.  I also hope that some day, the occupants will appreciate the opportunity they have been given.


If the first part of your post is correct (the stipend is for a free will donation) then why the hell not just give a free will donation to a priest or parish??????

There is no way to disentangle the "giving of a donation" and the "getting of a mass said for your specified intention" in the stipend system. The honest assessment of the system is an exchange of money for something of value, and that is bloody well wrong headed. An alternative assessment of the system is bribery--the pretense of giving a gift with the full knowledge that something desired, but nominally unconnected, will happen in return; and that is also blood well wrong headed.

There is no way to construe this practice as anything other that simony, no matter what "alternate facts" canon law or established practice may pretend to be the case.


Jim, you're delusional.


are you nuts? NK is a land of the nut job leaders who are doing anything they can to keep thier grip over thier people, hardly protecting anyone bud,, as for afghanistan, we went after the 911 group and the country that protected them, that was called justice pal, ,,


This tired old queue jumping red herring. Basic rule refugees are not immigrants.

There are different queues (and selection criteria) for temporary and permanent immigrants and for refugee claimants. Note the name of our legislation... the Immigration AND Refugee Protection Act .

And there are even different queues for different types of refugee claimants as set out in our international agreements that we have passed into our domestic law in the IRPA.

Refugees who flee their country may apply overseas - usually from refugee camps where they are pre-selected by the UNHCR and then evaluated by Canadian officers abroad or privately sponsored. Refugee claimants may also appear at a Port of Entry and seek protection but if coming from the USA will be sent back per the Safe Third Country Agreement. Refugee claimants may also make claims to an inland immigration officer whether legally or illegally in Canada per the IRPA and are entitled to have the claim processed.

Not queue jumping.


Who the H........E........Double hockey sticks can tell if its real or not. Gezzz thank the lord im North of this mess


I've heard that the protest doesn't mean the same thing anymore.  People against it say that these guys aren't about equal rights.  They may be right.

Unfortunately, Trump has now made it about free speech.  If the president demands punishment for those who speak or act as he doesn't like, within the law, where does it stop? Make fun of his hair? Don't stand when his car drives by? What about his cabinet, should we stand for them too?  Does it trickle down to governors,then mayors, then city workers? Where does the command for obedience and respect stop?


Pandora, Kurgan knows that what you said about Obama is wholly false. You cannot defend yourself, it would be like defending yourself after saying that the earth is flat.


HBO has revenues of over $5b a year and all these hackers  want is 50% of their annual $15m in bitcoin? Pay them the $7.5m, then immediately invest no less than $500m a year into cyber security. It is just baffling that billion dollar companies don't take cyber security seriously in 2017.


Maybe she can return the courts to interpreting the law instead of creating it.


As we said in the Marines, sometimes all you can do is embrace the suck. It's good for the soul. =)

I do question why anyone ever goes anywhere in the outdoors without a properly scaled USGS topo map and a decent compass. With a map, even without a compass, if you can see terrain features you can roughly establish your location by terrain association. With a compass, you can locate yourself within a few meters.

Not even an actual dedicated GPS on the trip, just an app on a phone?


a cult...


Yet, you STILL want to play? (Caps again...)


Any betters out there forcasting the year when Chinese restaurants offering shark fin soup, tiger penis, rhino horns elephant tusks  and bear bladders outside in theback alley, outnumber the Tim Horton stores in BC??

Depends on the "joke".
I recall that President Trump was the birther in chief. Don't think that was a joke.
And I'd guess that a solid of majority of Trump supporters still think former President Obama is not a natural born citizen - even though they think Sen. Cruz is.


agree with Trump on this.  Price is an arrogant, ignorant little man who works hard to hurt the middle class and poor.


Well, Jim, many things that you said actually affirm my position on the subject.

1st, many of us have our own anecdotes. Pure stats say 1 in 4 of us. You're the 1 in 4. I'm the 1 in 4. I'm not going into detail how my anecdotes are worse than yours, but mine involved physical injury visible for several weeks to all who knew. Yet, suicide was never a thought, but we all react differently, I get that. My own failures and shortcomings I never blamed on anyone, including my abuser and those that brushed off the whole thing.

I never once said that victims are in it only for the money, so I resent your mistaken inference. I also resent that you cast me as less than human. My goals are not motivated out of spite for the past, my goals are motivated by teaching our current generation how not to let it happen in the first place.

I reject "repressed memory syndrome". I know a few survivors and I am one. We never had a problem remembering. Most of us had problems forgetting.


Just how many pipelines did panic closet Harper get done in 10 years?  Rotory liking your own posts how trumpy of you.


you are a nut job, ontario has increased its spending by hiring up some 350.000 public sector workers and they did that AFTER the crash in 08 hit us, thus chosing to ramp up spending which has created the largest fastest debt increase in our history, now 320 BILLION! . the size of the debt is due to that, we already pay the most taxes period, its not just rates its the never ending adding of things taxed that has never stopped growing under liberal fiscal incompetence  THAT IS A FACT


50 million spent by taxpayers on this already....that's enough!


You don't see anything wrong here?  Oh, ok.

"Trump’s own FBI pick has said the authorities should be alerted to requests for such meetings during a campaign and even after Donald Trump Jr. said he would rethink his own conduct in agreeing to the gathering in the first place."


There's the post of the day, folks.


People may visit here for the images of cowboys and mountain men in the Wild West, but they come here to live for the conditions that Liberals and conservationists have fought for.


Ha! That's a good one!


They love obummer 😃


Who on Earth is screening the comments for this board?

Somehow my post was rejected, that politely asked how any Mexican qualifies, persecution-wise, for refugee status in Canada.

What, we are not allowed to ask questions on this board?

The article implies that some Mexicans qualify as refugees when they flee to Canada. I asked what the grounds are for that.

Listen, could the person who refused my post please type a comment, below, explaining your decision? Are you aware that you have taken on the role of anti-free-speech censor and that what you have done has NOTHING to do with whether or not a comment is civil?


Well, there still pussy grabbing, going after  married women, while married, groping women and walking unannounced unto teenage girls dressing rooms while they're naked. I could go on if you want me to.


Correct. The city was forced to take on construction because of inaction by the state.


I agree, anybody who wants to sell guns should be required to have armed guards on premise 24/7.


A bombastic NY commercial real estate magnate and reality talk show host becomes president, and this is what the WP comes up with. Pure effing genius. The Washington Post, the desperate newspaper.


Is the death rate in prison substantially higher than the death rate on the street?

Without the facts it is difficult to know whether there is cause to be outraged over this or not.


The Supreme Court has already ruled numerous times that things like this are indeed QUALIFICATIONS on a candidate. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it hasn't happened.


Once again, Harper is proven right.

I miss him every day when I see the child we have in Canada, and the lunatic we have in the US.   He was a calm, measured man who cared about Canada most.

I miss Stephen Harper.


I am planning on going to Jordan/Israel on vacation in march.  Now granted the area is somewhat high risk, with middle east turmoil and ISIS crap in background.   However, the people there all do not have guns in their pockets, ready to shoot you dead.   I think going to USA is potentially much more risky now!

Klastri, you need to be careful about your landslide predictions. You said the same about Hillary Clinton and she got buried by a Trump avalanche.


As inept as the current government has been on the file, you can be sure the gentleman from Wallonia is doing very well politically in his own little back yard. Being the big man standing up to everyone else on over this issue (that the entire rest of the EU is fine with).  Very cheap but effective local politics to create an external enemy that you can rally all your folks against.

Can't say I think much of any of our ministers near tears over some negotiations. If she wants to be in the big game it might be time to put on the adult pants.

(Part 2)

Trump mocks the disabled, attacks minorities and ridicules women. He offers not so much a program or a policy, but simply himself, the Great White Savior: “Believe Me! Trust Me! You don’t even want to know how I’ll do it! I’m great! You’ll be great again because I’m great!” Trump shows little understanding of how democratic institutions actually work and he demonstrates no inclination to work within them. Of course he’s a fascist.

However, although Trump is a fascist, the United States in 2016 is not Germany in the 1930s.  Our institutions are stronger, our democracy more secure.  I think the United States would survive a Trump presidency, but given Trump's utter contempt for our system and institutions of government, his presidency would constitute the most serious test of constitutional government since the Civil War.


Your comment is also an attempt at selective interpretation. The original comment, now deleted, claimed that Trudeau was a Nazi sympathizer. The Nazis came to power in 1933. That would make him 14 years old when he was being 'schooled' in those beliefs by the Jesuits. He later rejected that worldview and governed as a progressive. Trump is and will continue to govern as a despot.


That's all your brilliant mind can come up with to refute my points ?


It was a silly comment, but really? This pc and phoney outrage is a bit over the top.


"These workers can smoke during their rest and lunch periods, but they cannot smoke on the HHSC healthcare campuses.”

WHAT is the problem?  Just go to the sidewalk and smoke your cancer stick.


Another of your remarkable observations.  So now you are conflating transgender people with "perverts?"  I'm sure you can cite at least one instance in which a transgender person - over say ... the last 40 years - molested someone in a bathroom.  You must have some evidence to make such a wild claim, right?

Right?

Is your scholarly work published?


I hear that the summers are rather pleasant on Turkey's Atlantic coast :-)


Ward 1:  The applicable ordinances are not "irrelevant."  The "out the window of cars in the driving lane" ordinance has helped Springfield reduce panhandling.  I acknwledged that.  I also acknowledged that the same ordinance would reduce the "traffic corner" panhandling in Eugene.  I have no idea how it would "stand up" to Consititutional review, but, if adopted in Eugene, I'm guessing we'd soon find out.

The issue with pedestrian panhadling is entirely different.  It has been found constitutionally protected so long as it's not "aggressive" panhandling.  The Springfield ordinance addesses "aggressive" panhandling, using the term "accost."  I rather doubt that a "respectful", "polite" panhandler in Springfield would be successfully prosecuted under the Springfield Ordinance.

Meanwhile, downtown Eugene is, in every sense of the word, a "mess."  The Council and City Manager/staff are working to address the issue.  It's not easy and I wish them luck.   Regards, Gary Crum


They've been "poised" to do that for several elections now, and succeeded in electing a single MLA in an election in which the Liberal Party was effectively leaderless.  They'll do no better in 2019, and they may do worse.


This article is just another attempt by the left to pathologize normal conservative behaviour by labeling it a "hate crime".


Really ? That would be different!


What fantasy world do you live in?? Are there unicorns ?


About 1/4  of the population wants to give away their national heritage to third world migrants and instate communism to give away all the wealth.
A  small percentage will always exist in western societies, so to stay safe these globalist crimes have to be publicly advertised, educated to children, and policies enacted to prevent anything remotely neo-marxist ever gaining power (in electable offices, as well as corporate or state management jobs) Society must  remain vigilant and police the deeds of the anti-nationalists, forever. The game of  liberalism is to  tolerate everything including destruction through debt, communism,political correctness,  globalism and weak immigration policies that fail to recognize and turn away religious radicals..
I have no doubt that Le Pen will see her way to victory, after all its not the 1st time the French have guillotined the establishment.
Viva France and Viva Le Pen !!!


Ah, you finally get what I meant. Power to you.


I must have missed the huge crowds of young folk & people of different ethnic, religious, and racial backgrounds coming together to cheer on whatever old dude, bleach blond, fundamental Christian, or businessman the party put forth to tell them that burning more fossil fuels is the best course of action because, although they aren't a scientist, they know all the scientists in over 200 respected professional organizations devoted to science are wrong; they should be happy with less than a living wage and no benefits because, well, "trickle down" and "right to work" of course; that healthcare and a post-secondary education is something that should be limited to the wealthy, if not the very wealthy; that more unregulated guns make more people more safe; that voting is for rich folk; that anyone who doesn't fit a romanticized 1950's Leave it to Beaver stereotype is less than human and should be ostracized, etc, etc, etc...

Yep -- surely didn't see that.

You have read the GOP platform?


A 150' fake tree that's 70 feet higher than the surrounding trees, has a hollow steel trunk, composite plastic and fiberglass branches, and covered by cell tower dishes and antenna, won't be noticeable at all. What a bunch of blarney. Oh wait, everything's fine, we are being told that the eight foot fence will hide it. Just don't look up. It would have been nice if the PDN had included the pictures, provided in the earlier hearing that had Team Mobile and Ken Hayes' presenting their version of a neighborhood-friendly cell tower. Those pictures had the faux fir added to the skyline, so that you'd get an idea of how high the 150' tree towers above the neighborhood.

Also missing in this account of the last hearing is the description of the pro-cell tower legal team lecturing Judge Rohrer on what he could and couldn't do. Though the 100' tower had already been approved, T- Mobile wanted a taller tower. Can you imagine a neighborhood not wanting such a gift?


Clearly the better man lost.


This just goes to show you that  each and every Liberal from Trudeau on down have no ethics at all.


When is our state government going to something about the gang problem in Alaska? All the money they spend, they can atleast get rid of the gangs!


Don't forget, they are not the first and they won't be the last (if there is anything left). Looking at the scope of what has happened and where; I find it hard to believe that one family did all of this.
We need structural change otherwise it will just happen again but this time harder to uncover... Big Up
for the leaked Emails!!! whoever that was!!


I hear where you are coming from GFNC55, and I support reasonable and just regulation with its associated consequences. I do believe Mr Norland suggests we need to look perhaps at the greater system and that it inadvertently, or maybe purposely, was set to miss a swath of the population. I think he suggests review and adjustment of said regulations.


Elitists in Virginia Beach?  Obviously you have never set foot on the Redneck Riviera. Anyone with the majority of their teeth would be among the Virginia Beach elite.


...investigation of miscarriage by police (and if you try to simply declare it, every abortion will be listed as miscarriage, so every miscarriage will be investigated), you cannot get away with a first trimester ban poltiically, which you must do because not being aborted is a positive right. The fact that the lead lawyer for the movement is Jay Sukolow means that he probably does not even understand what I am saying because he panders to his clients, not a good quality for a lawyer, and he is certainly not smart enough or well enough trained to come up with the language that would be required.


so much for not paying tax on your escalade.


JJ: After the Shockley fiasco I'm guessing there will be pressure from landlords to develop some kind of a system to protect them.  Obviously, the current systems in place are inadequate.

regards and enjoy this beautiful Fall day.   Gary


LOL No it doesn't. Roughly half of it goes into the military and intelligence. Welfare is a small piece of the pie. Things conservatives like to dangle in the air like NPR are literally fractions of pennies on the dollar.

We have the largest military in the world in terms of expenditures by far.

Well, in it's defence, the new American embassy is in the "bunker" style, now required for any American embassy anywhere in the world.


Over 40 mayors and government officials are opposed, including 21 lower mainland mayors in Vancouver.


This puts more money directly in the pockets of grassroots Native Hawaiian businesses, and garners more direct personal spiritual experience and participation by grassroots Native Hawaiians.  TMT indirectly promises Native Hawaiians financial benefit, and but few in comparison.  Cultural temples typically elevate just few priestly elitists who inevitably run for politics to "save us" with their UH Hawaiian studies education, OHA, or draft ironic "sovereign constitutions" of the same kinds that had originally alienated the land from the native Hawaiians in the first place (1841 (Land Commisison and Mahele), 1850, 1864, 1887).   How can we Hawaiian UH Law grads be so daffy while at the same time   inattentive to business, tax revenues, and tourism?  Gee wilikers.


If only they were all that brainless.


Payback for the Americans and their support of Boris Yeltsin... remember that drunk buffoon?


The problem is there is equalization of funding and you can hardly argue that more money would make much of a difference.


That is exactly the point, which is these climate Shamans who proclaim all this intimate knowledge about the current state of our existence obviously don't really believe what they are preaching.


To the contrary, being a fitness trainer, I am constantly telling my clients to look at themselves in the mirror to insure proper form!  When they are setting up to perform an exercise, 9 times out of 10, their posture needs correction!  If one isn't aware of how they have been patterned to stand over the years, they will most commonly hunch their upper back, with their chin protruding, shoulders rounded!  How can you possibly know this if you don't see yourself doing this?  I have seen people look down, look up, or tilt their head when performing an exercise! Performing any exercise in this poor position just sets you up for injury down the road!  MIrrors in workout rooms are most definitely necessary and do aid in improving performance, when used for this reason!


They are doing business in Russia, Ukraine and Azerbaijan - of course they are bribing people!


No, but they are a pretty decent team that shows you don’t have to break the bank, or have a raft of stars...


First off, Kelley just doesn't look, in his video, like a true dual-threat--- but he does have a strong, accurate arm. But not a match for the spread, really.
 Tagovailoa is another story. That certainly was a major misfire. He certainly looks like MMII in his video.
We have 2 future prospects right now (Prukop is gone after this year): Jonsen and Wilson. Neither are fire-tested. Both could be Bryan Bennetts. Who knows? But misfiring for so long on recruiting another QB doesn't show recruitment excellence, especially when that one position was THE glaring problem.
Helf better get it going this season or, if the Ducks continue to skid, the man from Coos Bay may find himself under siege.


Warm condolences? That's what you tell someone when their cat dies. Trump is incapable of empathy, the surest sign of a sociopath.


It is fate......


And what right is being violated may I ask? Honestly, I don't see the human rights violations that are being brought forth. Are they being drug off to concentration camps? Arrested for being another race/religion/gender without provocation or possibly violating a law? Maybe educate me on all the alleged violations that are being imposed on people.  Homophobe? I haven't heard any statements coming from the White House declaring such a mind set exists. Maybe it's because Pence is the VP and he's a hard core christian. So, now we attack his beliefs? I love comments about homophobia, especially in this day and age. Anyone who makes that call is just seeking attention from either side. No one cares what you do you in your bedroom or what your gender is anymore!! Do we have to create special legislation just for specific groups? Why can't we all just be humans and Americans?
Do what you want and be who you want to be within the constraints of societal norms but quit being such media whores.


Trump meets with two IDIOTS


I think " the government " ( CRA ) gets first dibs at everything, i.e. tax arrears. Until those are cleared everything is frozen.


Safe Zones will only work if the police constantly harass the homeless when they camp in the parks, beaches, and streets.  Let it be clear to them that there are alternatives (Safe Zones being one option) and defecating, littering and destroying our parks and beaches and their infrastructure is no longer acceptable and will result in prosecution to the fullest extent of the law.  Tap into a park's light pole to run the aircon in your tent and you'll be arrested for theft of services.


regardless of what lunatics think, Kinder morgan is in all OUR best interests including bc..


By now it should be obvious that if you have a problem with OTs, you have to draft them in the 1st round to get a shot at quality.
Talent quickness technique and size on one package are rare. KC proved you can get AllPros MVP types at other, more glamorous positions in the later rounds with Tyreek Hill in the late 5th and Kareem Hunt in the late 3rd round.
Since Broncos are late in putting OTs at a priority, now they must pay up big time for a decent veteran or risk losing the season....and a QB to injury. Swell. They really seem to think they can stop edge rushers in this league and division with 4th stringers??? Good luck with that. Broncos can't protect using chip blocking help at RT even with their 3rd rate #1 & #2 RTs. ...and Broncos now plan to use their 4th, then 5th stringer options? Yikes.


The Candian government needs to:-
Protect our fresh water resources, no bulk exporting of water from Canada.
Protect our sovereignty by not allowing US police, US security agencies or government agencies to have jurisdiction over Canadians, in Canada.
But, when in need of a strong negotiating point, remind them that most of the N.E. USA is supplied with electricity from Canada.


Is Brad Wall the only politician in Canada to understand business? How can you give your major competitor the advantage by crippling our own companies with a carbon tax (not to mention endless red-tape).


This seems like a good effort but the number of homeless are still huge and growing in many areas.  Much still to do.


If it's a non-binding agreement then what's the point? So we, America, must follow all standards, but other countries can opt out, when ever? If it's an agreement then what's with it being called The Paris Accord? Many of the counties that sign it, call it a treaty.

Yes there are investigation but those investigation are not criminal investigation. Collusion isn't a criminal act.


Next to the smells of all human and natural odors I worry more about all the noxious gas produced by Oregon liberal bureaucrats. Pot smells much better.


McCain is probably the most honourable Republican out there. If he was Canadian he would probably be a Progressive Conservative with the emphasis on "Progressive." Too bad he was running against Obama in 2008. How much better off everyone would be if he had instead ran eight years later against Clinton. The Republican Party degenerated so much over those eight years it would have been questionable whether he would have been chosen by the party to run.


Injecting politics after a mass shooting and while the wounded are attempting to heal is insensitive and horrible.
Shame on you Denver Post.


So much for rational discourse on an issue.  A lack of listings means that, yes, there is too little supply.  However, there is nothing forcing people to move, forcing them to sell their home.  And there is significant demand; recent census data says that 116,000 more people live in the City of Toronto than 5 years ago.  Using 2.8 people per household (2011 Census), that means the City of Toronto needed about 41,000 new housing units over that 5 year span.  And over that five year span the average household size most likely fell, requiring additional units.  Were 50,000 new units constructed in Toronto?  I think not.

Rising interest rates will take care of the price of a house.  It's a simple mathematical relationship.  People won't spend more than a certain amount of their income on housing.  When rates rise, interest cost goes up, principal payment goes down; therefore, house value falls.  However, it doesn't cost any less to own the home.


I don't know your name, are you an immigrant? Your questions are kind of odd, are you  rapist?  See how stupid you sound?


Just stay out of it JT, just stay away--plenty to be done at home. Let them fight one another in peace.


IRT Peter (aka Boots), they do, on a regular basis.


Jonas Siegel, an admitted Your Leafs diehard, writing another fawning column 'bout a Your Leafs player...I mean, who coulda possibly ever seen that coming, eh?.  Never in a million year, no way....even if you're missing the bigger picture.

Crosby, Ovechkin, McDavid, all 100 pt/season guys, all generational players.

Matthews?  Uh, 69 pts.  Just missed scoring 100 pts by a hair, 31 pts.

Great players make those around them better, lots of proof out there that players who hook up with the greats, their pt totals skyrocket.  It's the norm, at least in hockey.  Social?  That's another thing entirely.

Matthews?  No.  In fact, legions of Your Leafs fans make excuses for Matthews....poor guy had nobody to play with, you know, like all those great players who suited up alongside Crosby....oh wait, no, he never really ever had great players on his wings now, did he...


Quite a history of assualt and theft in Alaska. Charged also for buying minors liquor. Yeah, behavior matters.


Why "rarely traditionalist"?  Don't we get a space in the pew too?


Apples and oranges.  One is for safety and the other for busy-body control freaks. "Public interest" is rather open-ended (by intent I suspect).

Civility is in the eye of the beholder.

Calling 1/4th of America "irredeemable deplorables" doesn't seem too civil to me.  But then, that can be excused as "saving"  American from a lack of civility?    There is no end to the rationalizations in politics.


It's not the media that makes Trump look like a jackass,  It's the terrible, unfiltered things he flat-out says. The bus recording told us exactly who this man is. Which is a disgusting human and terrible candidate for president.


In your opinion. Actual Catholics disagree.


maybe 'quirky'. ?


Yet call out all Muslims for the acts of a few will get you pilloried.   So why is it okay to smear an entire religion over these few idiots?  Or is this because it's okay to bash Christian sects?


hmmm - building a wall, and charging exorbitant admission prices, whether real or metaphorical... sort of what like Quebec did with Energy East, forcing Transcanada Pipelines to shelve the project because the economics were no longer feasible.  And, on the other coast, British Columbia did the same thing to kill a number of LNG proposals, and now British Columbia is trying to kill the Transmountain pipeline with the same tactics.

Frankly, I'm not sure why everyone is bent out of shape about the US attempts to stymie trade and good economics, especially when certain of our own provinces here in Canada seem to be doing an effective job of it all by themselves, with the tacit blessing of our own Justin Trudeau, who hasn't said one word in defense free and open trade within our borders, let alone defending any part of our homegrown energy and resource industries.


He does bring up a valid concern... what will governments do if there is another recession? Lower interest rates and follow expansionary fiscal policy? Both are employed right now. There remains very few tools left in the bag if something were to happen.


If you think you've heard the last of the Trump-Russia story, you're dreaming.


What an awful thing to say. Their atrocities in China rival that of what the Germans did in Europe.


In an above comment you stated: "Says who? Statistics and cites please."  So you then make a blanket statement regarding police and the work they do. Where I ask is the information to back up the statements you made?  I am sure police are not tying everything to SB91.  If you never have,  then maybe you should see about a ride-along with your local police department, it is an eye opening experience.

The message of the Holy Spirit has been and is of Oneness and Love. Pope Francis and Cardinal Farrell have the same message.


Please Tell ALL Americans to Save America  to  STOP Sanctuary Cities  and STOP "ILLEGAL undocumented Immigration.  Please SUPPORT VICTIMS and their FAMILIES KILLED by ILLEGAL Undocumented Immigrants in America.  STOP DACA.  Thank GOD for President Trump in Supporting Victims and their Families,   and Trying to STOP Sanctuary cities.   Victims and their FAMILIES have been getting KILLED and MURDERED for YEARS even before President Trump thought of running for President.

Ann Coulter book called  "Adios America"  should have been written YEARS Ago. This country can NOT protect its citizens and its border.

Democrats and others who Support ILLEGAL undocumented immigration are Responsible for the Deaths of Victims.   ILLEGAL Immigrants should take the JOB, CAREERS, and Businesses of Democrats and others who support them. Please Support Victims and ALIPAC   and  OJJPAC.

Why does Israel have a Wall? Try telling Israel to Tear Down the Wall.

American is being Invaded by Illegal aliens.


This is exactly why we elected President Trump. I'm very proud of his efforts to protect our sovereignty and insure the United States has a good deal, regardless of the agreement or treaty. This was an agreement, made by President Obama, not the people, or our representatives in Congress. If the Mayors are going to keep up their efforts to reduce harmful effects on the climate, great, that's where it should be, so the average citizen has a better chance of monitoring the behavior of their government. President Trump has done the right thing by standing up to the World Oligarchy and demanding proper respect for the United States and her citizens with his emphasis on the nature of the agreement being unfavorable to the US. He did not deny the science, he did deny the economics. God Bless him, God Bless the United States of America!


John
Your sound as lost as the governor.
Japan was suppose to respond by the end of this summer, not a peep out of their reps.

Move if you want jobs, competition, and the chaos tha those commodities bring.

James Antle your nuts - President Trump is doing fantastic, telling the truth. Antle - you yourself have been duped by the media...wow. Go back to your Momma and tell her you need to grow some balls. Charlottesville was a complete setup by Antifa, Soros, the alt-left communists.


I'm sure if it was up to Arco we wouldn't have been given anything.


Rolling back the French Language?  Don't you mean the CPC dreams of  rolling back the oppression of the English language rights  in Quebec  (that is part of Canada) that  was denounced by both the Supreme Court of Canada and the United Nations  as contrary to Human Rights but Quebec used the not-withstanding clause to ignore. As Pierre Trudeau said to an interviewer  "I'm French, I'm as good as you, I don't need any protection"


Oh yes, totally worth it!  Go America!!


Yeah, Timothy McVeigh said the same thing and look where he wound up.


I suggest that all Denver residents - old and new - take the time to visit the Brown and take in its glory and rich history. It's one of Denver's civic treasures and we're fortunate to have it in our midst.


What the Tantramir Titans coaching staff have done better than any other Canadian high school is duplicated the American football culture into the Canadian version of the game. This varsity style approach described in the article above is simply a bullied down descriptor of the way the game is taught in the United States in youth programs beginning in grade school. There is a sinister side to American scholastic football. A direct link between high school football and the voluntary military service. It not a secret. Varsity football in the US is used to expose, typically young males, into battlefield thinking. The football field ethics and battlefield ethics are the same, simply dressed up in softer language. Take a closer look at the military records of most of the highest ranking military leaders in the US, all played. The training and character building approach is not done to train athletic skills  but to turn student athletes into weapons for government policy.


if you want to know dog breed you just need to take dogs blood sample and you can just test it through DNA Testing Kit.
Few days back i was thinking to buy a dog's DNA kit, as i was searching, i got some important details on http://www.pomskies.com/best-dog-dna-test-kit-reviews/. There are various options available to buy, which are Wisdom Panel, Mars Veterinary, Wisdom Panel Mixed Breed, Embark Dog & Canine Breed Identification Test kit to know which type of exact breed it is.


I would not count on the journal Nature to claim fact in a redefining of 'gender'; many new theories come out of it, but it certainly is not a tome of across the board accepted theory. Look, when the baby comes out of the womb, a doctor assigns whether it is male or female not by some 'innate internal sense of self'- that is subjective, relative self selection.  No, the doctor sees if the baby has a penis, and testifies via external observation for a legal certificate that a male has been born.  If the doctor sees the baby has a vagina, the doctor obviously testifies via external observation- for a legal certificate- that the person is a female. As for the comments on employment and sports, my comments weren't about verification of genitals but rather pointing out that critically discerning between male and female is a major feature  of affirmative action, the basis of female specific opportunities and point of contention per legal sport segregation (i.e. title nine). Ditch it all then


economic refuges should NOT be admitted on site---they need to apply like every other immigrant (unless deporting them could result in their persecution/death) I hope "Junior" realizes this or Manitoba/Quebec will experience the mess Germany is now dealing with

He never was that good.  He wasn't good at all in preseason, and he "won" the job by being adequate.  Remember that in the first San Diego game Trevor threw a would be pick 6 but the guy just dropped it when it was right in his hands.  Had he made that catch we might be 2-4 or worse right now.  The folks in the media are mostly to blame and a lot of them are changing their stories today.  Schlereth was the biggest Trevor Siemian butt kissers in the pre-season but his reputation as an analyst is at stake and even he now admits that Trevor is the problem.  The other guy that's terrible is Brandon Stokely who blamed the Giants loss solely on the defense.  He is living in a fantasy world where Trevor Siemian is a great Quarterback, so it's no shock to me that so many fans have thought that as well.  The fact is that Trevor Siemian is another Kyle Orton or Bryan Griese who'se career will be over within the next 2-3 years.


Hopefully (but I don't hold out much hope) unaffiliated voters will select the ballot which they feel, as a whole, needs to be realigned to their spot on the ideological spectrum. Then again, I don't think that the Denver Chamber of Commerce bought what they thought they bought.


[You sound like a child arguing with a parent, you asked why revenue grew in the 1970s and again in the 1990s so I gave it to you.]
And I noted how it proved your original comment "on Reaganomics" was a complete farce.  What exactly is your problem here other than having your argument refuted?

[Don't pretend to be using critical thinking here]
After the second insult it seems to me that you have abandoned any substantive argument and resorting to trolling.  Are you trying to offend me or just not mature enough to being questioned or disagreed with and thinking insulting others online somehow "wins?"


That was a very uncivil way to open your reply. Please do not do that again. I have been unfailingly civil. Now, to respond, you are the one trying to have it both ways, not me. I always condemn all terrorist attacks. You pretend only the left does them in the face of all the right wing terrorism we've seen worldwide. You falsely accuse me of being one sided while you are.


People are held in county jail on M11 charges, pretrial and presentencing. After sentencing they do go to state prison. So you are partly correct, but not completely. Many inmates charged with M11 crimes spend months or even longer than a year at LC jail awaiting trial and sentencing. These are the folks that the levy was intended to keep in jail. Remember a few years ago the guy who threatened his ex, was charged with assault and other violent crimes against her, was released due to overcrowding (meaning the people that were not released were charged with even more serious offenses), got out and promptly killed the ex? The levy is intended to lessen the chance of a repeat of that. As far as what charges people are held on, that is easily obtainable information by looking at the county jail website.


UNINFORMED OLD PEOPLE FOR TRUMP


I'm sure what you describe would violate their charter of rights and beside, Trudeau says a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian even if they are a dual national who's committed a terrorist offense.  They now get to keep their passports and citizenship.


He was not a child soldier according to Geneva Convention and was not a uniformed combatant, he was a taliban terrorist fighting with like-minded cowards. His treatment was warranted under the circumstances. Canada has revealed itself among our allies as an impotent joke of hyper-progressive weakness. No doubt the career activists and SJWs are happy with this decision, what's next, a Research Chair? Tenure? I suppose Karla Hamolka should be compensated as well for having her identity revealed?


You will never have one church; the Orthodox can't stand most Catholics; most Protestants can't stand other Protestants; the Catholics are divided into the Vatican II types who wish Bobby Kennedy had become pope and the Pius XII-wannabees and the huge blob in the middle who use church for cultural/family identity ceremonies.
Pointless.


Liberals supporters will say and do anything to justify their party's criminal activity it seems.


When teenage Toronto gangbangers can run hand gun rental businesses, one should appreciate that gun control has been as effective as Canada's laws to prohibit alcohol, gambling, drugs, and prostitution. (Ironically Canadian governments are now in the alcohol and gambling business & re about to enter the drug business.)

Most Canadians don't appreciate that many Canadian provinces tried  different forms of alcohol prohibition prior to the infamous US attempt. Enterprising Canadians learned the boot legging business in Canada and were well placed to met the demand when the US tried the same experiment.


"We have unequivocal evidence the russians hacked our election"

There is absolutely no evidence that the Russians 'hacked' the 2016 election.

ANother shining example of the morality of this White House .It has none . They prey on the weak and disabled, the poor and the elderly and call it " POLICY " It is not , it's the ugly and impotent trying to make their mark at the expense of those with little or no voice . Yet we always insist we are a " CHRISTIAN NATION " this Administration makes that notion a sad and sick Joke . Because it's filled with sad and sick People with a dark and hostile agenda .. Kinda difficult for Trump and his band of moral midgets to spin their intent to avoid what they spread across our Great Nation ... Evil from the surface to the rotten core all of it . Lies and deceit and Congress sits back and cheers this Devil onward which of course makes them cowards . As their leader attacks the weak . Cowards.


As a Democrat, I am far from a Trump supporter. As GOP candidates go, I would have preferred Bush, Paul, Kasich, even Rubio.

Immigration reform? Absolutely. Amnesty and a path to legal residency and eventual citizenship for those who are otherwise law abiding contributors to our society? Sure.

Still, there is no logical reason why Oregon or any state should want to harbor convicted criminals. Treating immigrants like everyone else makes sense up to the point where their "only violation of law" is no longer simply being present in our country. Once convicted, especially of violent crimes, they should be deported.


Carol Victor misses the point entirely re- We The Governed. The notion that the media has "ganged up" on Justin Sunny Choppers in the last few weeks is laughable. They have been fawning over this milque-toast since he has arrived on the scene and only after things like praising a ruthless murdering dictator was he finally called out. As for the rest of her nonsense such as praising his reaching out to various interest groups, lip service is cheap. When it comes time to pay the piper it will be on us, the taxpayer. All he has is is words and intentions. He is in over his head if he thinks he will fix any of this mess with his apologies and "reaching out".


The strategy is old and there's s reason for that; but it's not tired because it still works.


Amazing that Balto would be destroyed according to state rules because he was part wolf.


"PHILOSOPHY PROFESSOR" says it all. I was forced to take a philosophy course in first year university and it was the most boring snooze-fest course I ever took. Of course the media is unfair to President Trump Mr. Philosophy Professor. If 45% of people support him how come 45% of MSM news does not do positive news or articles on the President? I suppose in your philosophical world 95% negative news, filled with hysterical virtual against President Trump is "fairness"   Other than MSM groupies, the public has tuned tuned you out and found alternate sources of news


Has it occurred to you two geniuses that this collection of writings you reference is old and makes use of subjective metaphor and allegory.


Amen braddah Alani! We are just adding to the problems when we push people out. Shame on the State of Hawaiʻi for allowing this to continue.


Well they do because they can "surprise him" in public, in their homilies and in the books they right (like the one Cardinal Muller just wrote!!).

They are an insurgency, but world-wide.  He can't hunt them down.  He can't drone them out of existence.   They can speak ANYWHERE they are, and push the point right back to him to respond.

He will always be on the defense from this point forward.

He "owns" the problem of unity...and when it's plain that he has lost his grip on internal unity...while worrying about climate change and other temporal matters...talking with Bill Gates, Zuckerburg, etc.....the Cardinals can lay open the lie of unity.

The more he yells, or derisively and indirectly refers to these cardinals in his homilies...OR the more he ignores them...the more power he loses.

You don't understand the real dynamics at play.


Taxes have been dropping for the past 10 years. Fraser institute data was used to determine that as well. So, I'm happy to hear the CBC wanting to get out of selling ads. Get it done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Note that I used far fewer exclamation points for brevity)


I got my CDL/hazmat/taker/doubles & triples, inspection licenses, various operators licenses in addiction to my mechanical certifications. Always had a clean CDL never used drugs or alcohol. I made more than any other guy that I went to school with and they all joked that I was overqualified and should get back up the hill to the uni. My CDL instructor raved about how good I drove compared to his students that were there just to get a CDL. I worked on and drove about every piece of heavy equipment you can think of for a massive operation.

And yet I barely made enough to keep going and moved to try and find better work elsewhere. It was even worse there and I ended up running a manufacturing facility after being promoted from millwright. And I still made crap wages. The whole time I was applying everywhere. Everybody wanted me, nobody wanted to pay me. Too many people willing to work for nothing.

That was before I went back to uni for econ but not by any means the end of the story.


it is exactly like here in Ontario, where about 1/2 of voters actually turned out then cry about wynne. they have no one to blame but themselves.


Do you still say the same thing now that Hawaii's appeal was shot down?


Love McCain!


This is wrong on many levels, bud. Why should "most Western countries" decide "what is best for Syria going forward"? What business is it of theirs? They haven't been invited. And Syria is a sovereign nation. Second, Western best intentions have already paved a way for ISIS hell in Iraq and Syria. The US could think of themselves as "the good guys", but they had consistently screwed it up wherever they went in the past 15 years.

The Norwegian fund has indeed been successful due in no small part to its mandate including 1) it is prohibited from investing in Norwegian assets and 2) it invests largely for returns (subject to some sustainability considerations e.g. no coal). What the authors proposed as a Canadian analogue to the Norwegian fund is almost diametrically opposed to how the Norwegian fund actually operates

The government, regardless of systems of power and administration, always run a big part of a country. The most democratically elected leaders have conducted the most heinous crimes on humanity (Hitler, Bush 2). While the most absolute dictators have conducted the most peaceful, beneficial deeds (Brunei, which is also Islamic). It depends on the leaders, culture and the time. Economically, the most powerful capitalist systems have yielded the most horrific depressions and destruction of wealth (USA). While the most benign socialist implementations have created a most happy sustainable people (Scandinavia).

History's most self-righteous people, who ceaselessly lecture the world on Christian morality, human rights and democracy, is also the same people who warred ceaselessly for 1500 years in Europe. Who grew its empire of great power using African human slave trade that killed millions, destroyed that continent. Then started 2 world wars killing some 75 millions. In splendid monarchy.


I find it funny to watch the Republican party wake up the fact that they have had 'Trump followers' all along.    Trump did not create the angry white male, they've been voting for Republican candidates for decades.     Cruz will not create evangelicals, but he knows their language and their side of issues.     For a couple of decades

The Republican party has enjoyed the conservatism that comes with libertarian, anti-authority character types.  Leadership loved the fact that they can sell the concept western capitalism, lacking all moral or ethical standards, should be the guiding principle of the country.   It's like the David cheering for Goliath.   More power to them, the Democratic leadership had their hands in the till as well, so the resistance was light.

This is not the Republican party of old but if it's causing them problems they've had at least a good 24 year role.

It's been a GREAT year for Independents who are asking for a new design in American politics.


By "the Church" you mean "the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith" which introduced the thesis of "objectively disordered" in 1986, in the significantly titled document "homosexualitatis problema". And the reference of that phrase is to the orientation itself not to sexual acts. That the CDF, like yourself, thinks of the orientation as an orientation to sexual acts and not as a vocation of love is the real "problema", thought up by men who are struggling with their own same-sex attraction. However, following Fr Martin's advice to dialogue only with those who offer a real ground for mutual understanding, I suggest we drop this discussion.


Good, then I need to put you in contact with my husband.


Yes Lazee, you and a very few others do seem to be Americans obsessed with Canadian comments. Admitting your obsession is the first step in over coming it.


Female genital mutilation is an abomination. I'm not surprised you use it to say "progressives" support it. But that's your calling card


Embassy funding is under different and separate funding. Funding for diplomatic and Consular functions are separate. The Benghazi Consulate comes under that area of funding. Actual State Department funding for Diplomatic and Consular operations, including security:
FY 2010 - Total 6.88 billion,
FY 2011 - Total 8.7 billion,
FY 2012 - Total 10.8 billion.
I do not see any reduction in spending for Diplomatic and Consulate funding. Now you can explain why State Dept. refused over 600 requests for increased security from Stevens and republicans mythical funding cuts are not credible as an excuse.

The only real question left in this "news" cycle is when will ADN / NY Times / WA Post realize that this repeated biased reporting with hoped for results' admit how stupid they were and that the ship has sailed.  But Liberal Elitism is not going quietly, for that we have you and the steady lefty bloggers here to thank and keep the powder dry.


Actually, answering my own question, it appears that Wikipedia has already whitewashed the whole Stevens/Hyde/Rubini thing because Bill Allen emerged as a more convenient boogeyman.  Just like how at one point we were reading about Eric Musser in the same context as Bill Bobrick, then we suddenly ceased hearing about Musser while we continued to hear about Bobrick for years to come, then years later Musser receives a plum appointment in the Sullivan administration.  Hmmm...


1) So.......who'd you vote for?
2) I get accused of being a Hillary supporter, leftist, etc. by the Trump supporters when I criticize Trump.  So, it seems to go both ways.  Get over it.


There you go again resorting to abuse and name-calling.
