His fundamental character isn't in doubt, or even being questioned. He's an upstanding member of Canadian society with a long career in the legal profession. The primary criticism directed at Justice Camp is for his "stereotypical" views concerning sexual assault, and the negative role that could play in his duties as a judge.

People change their viewpoints all the time. On matters pertaining to sexuality and gender, Canadians have collectively changed their views quite a bit over the last few decades. There's no reason why any sincere and motivated person like Justice Camp couldn't do the same.


Fake news alert,  the Obama administration counted turnarounds at the border as deportations which prior administrations did not. The figures were much lower.


More pandering to special interest groups, minorities and lobbyists......how pathetic of the Liberals to continue to piss our tax dollars away.


You're confused, justice and the law are two completely different beast.


That is true of some priests and bishops, not of others.

Ms. Southey, you mean. You don't know her and are posting anonymously so show some respect. You call it 'nonsense' and offer no argument to say why that is so. The column is well-written and organized; the diction is accurate and often amusing; it is an opinion piece that knits together facts, history, personal observation, and personal experience.  It carries some insight. It is an entirely legitimate piece. What claim or opinion (or aspect of writing style) do you have a problem with?  If you can't say, then your claim of nonsense is itself just that, as well as being free of wit. If you can't bother to even try, well, that's why your words dwell in the comments section while hers do not.


Blackberry's reign in Ottawa draws to a close?  Well, perhaps they have a bit of competition there now, but don't forget that they recently won the right to sell tools for encrypting phone calls and text messages to the U.S. federal government, and oh yes, they just launched their KEYone Limited Edition Black smartphone in India; it's set to go on sale on Amazon India on Tuesday, August 8th.

I would suggest that news of Blackberry's demise has been highly exaggerated....


Kurt, If literally everyone in ANC who'd normally vote yay for a thin-the-herd brown bear hunt - if they all -supported a well planned educate-the-public campaign on how to live/recreate/thrive in brown bear country, and if the four young people from our town who got torn up yesterday HAD attended, I think they'd have been making noise, had bear spray and might have given that bear a way to get away, unseen or seen, either way.


I wonder what word you're trying to spell. Galic??


If you or anybody else thinks Canada is "corrupt" then you really need to get out more.


unfortunately on a curvy state highway doing the legal limit of 55, perhaps slowing to 45 for a curve.  right of way or not, someone could be hurt seriously.  basically you would be coming up fast on a vehicle that has stopped in the middle of the lane.  there may not be enough time to stop.  simple as that.  I always think of who is most likely gonna "lose" that interaction.  my favorite mode of transport is as a pedestrian, bikes come up fast behind me and there have been close calls.  i don't even listen for the "passing on your....", i keep checking behind me.  i would be in the legal, injured  right in an accident  but getting the worst end of the deal.


Maybe it was one of these new self-driving vehicles. (OK, maybe I shouldn't be making jokes.)


Ray, not having a personal dog in this fight I will attempt to stay on the sidelines.  I would like to point out one obvious advantage of UAF over UAA.  Land.  UAF had a ton of it.  UAA is a cobblestone of buildings scattered everywhere.  Didn't UAA have to kick out the day care program to expand the locker room?


"The world is literally hungry for human decency, dignity, respect, and Love."  But those are things that can be provided with or without Christ.  If so, why do you need Christ?  What does Christ add?  Do you know who answered that better than anyone in years?  Benedict XVI.


Traitors?  The military brass must scratching their heads.


Admiral Harward didn't get where he got by not being able to "read the tea leaves".  For a while after hitting the iceberg the Captain and many of the crew of the Titanic refused to deal with the reality of the situation; however, I bet there was a sailor like Hardward who understood the situation immediately.


So, all those immigrants, legal and otherwise, who labor in America's fields, working long hours for little pay are lazy bums because they come from the "wrong" part of the planet, Mr. Thiessen? Which side of the Rio Grande River, or the Mediterranean Sea or the Bosporus, you come from determines whether people are hard-working and thrifty or are beggars seeking government handouts?


Wrong again, ot. Bird strikes against buildings (particularly glass towers), predation by pet and feral cats, and collision with infrastructure such as transmission lines and towers are all much greater causes of avian and bat mortality. And pollution from oil, gas and coal production, refining and combustion takes its toll as well.

I'll have to come down on both sides.  Yes, both parties' rules are being flagrantly broken.  And these are internal matters.  But Pine and Djou are fake Republicans (indeed, former tea partiers) who support wasteful spending and high taxes.  So maybe it's time for the local GOP to raise its standards and do some housecleaning.


Let's say he'd gone back in his house and so had his neighbor. They would both be fine and the police could have apprehended Tallman in a non-controversial way and no one else would have been put at risk by some vigilante nutcase's wild shooting.

Going beyond salmon habitat but identifying deteriorating standards of ADFG in particular, extends also to ethically and morally corrupt state wildlife management, complements of the Alaska Board of Game (BOG). Here Outside entities, the Safari Club International and the NRA control the process. Non consumptive proposals made to the BOG are usually dismissed or not even considered by a board of seven hunters and trappers. Ecosystems are manipulated into wild game farms maximizing ungulate species by an aggressive BOG policy to kill natural predators wholesale that normally serve to keep overall populations in balance. The idea of naturally healthy biologically diverse ecosystems appears long lost to manipulation to serve especially the trophy guide industry, to which an evolved BOG/ADFG culture dutifully serves.
Conversely, living wildlife is a sustainable buildling block to a healthy Alaska economic future.  But political and professional leadership is in the last century.

Berkley comes in at 51st, not exactly outstanding for the law school, but still in at least the top 25%.    Good point by you about the law school.     I have no idea what percent of students go through the law program.    There is nothing that tells me a protest by the student would be the reason for a poor score on testing though, it could just be average faculty

Thanks, got me to explore and go learn something, that's a good thing.


You understand Greenland is part of the Danish Realm, right?

The basic principle of the Danish welfare system is that all citizens have equal rights to social security.... Within the Danish welfare system, a number of services are available to citizens, free of charge. This means that for instance the Danish health and educational systems are free. The welfare model is subsidised by the state, and as a result Denmark has one of the highest taxation levels in the world.

That's taken pretty much directly from the official Denmark government website. They're being pretty frank about why they're a solvent nation.

Is that what you are suggesting we do in Alaska?

How soon the cons forget--or never accepted--the fact that the last government we had had the worst fiscal record in 80 years. Massive deficits. Fake balanced budgets. Adding more than $160 billion to the national debt. And absolutely no accomplishments.


Thank you Matthew


Just a side note, when I read "self-serving blowhards" contained in your comment, Chenault instantly came to mind. He's not the only one, but I'd say he's pretty close to the top of the list as the leader of the pack.


From the first paragraph of the post where you say I don't mention the German bishops.
"Miss Zagano tells a fine tale but only a partial tale. She mentions that Argentinian, GERMAN and Maltese bishops as having explained AL."
Why is it that you cannot see that I am not quarrelling with Miss Zagano re: the German bishops.
The two American diocesan bishops I am aware of are Cupich and McElroy and I also now think Tobin is in favour of Kasper's proposal too.
I regard orthodox Catholics as those who adhere to the Magisterium and time-honoured teachings of the Church. I am waiting for the Pope to clarify what is the magisterial teaching on the doubts emanating from Amoris Laetitia. Eventually he will have to or his successor will. The Church cannot continue with its bishops and priests in different parts of the world teaching doctrines and practices diametrically opposed to each other.


Who really created the divide Paul ? Trump inherited this, the rise of Blacklivesmatter  - Obama.


FYI  Contact the police and request information as to filing a petition for her to be held on a psychiatric hold as she is a high risk to do harm to self or others. Two people petition, even better. She can then be held in a psychiatric facility against her will for up to 72 hours. If the mental health team finds it unsafe for her to be released a court hearing is arranged and recommendations made. If the Judge finds after hearing from the mental health "team", the young lady, family or others who offer testimony, that she is not stable enough to be released from the hold, can remand her to up to 180 days of treatment - even if it is against her will. You might also check to see if she has already experienced this process of a hold and evaluation and find out what "plan" and recommendations she was encouraged to follow. And if you are able to make contact with her social worker or evaluator ask for some guidance and do's and don'ts as to how best to provide support.

Yep,  pretty insane.


G&M is a propaganda outlet, and it only presents heavily contrived and one-sided narratives. It's been that way for the past decade, and probably longer. It makes the most absurd editorials in all the business, and has made a farce of itself on many occasions, such as the previous election debates, and endorsing the Conservatives party without Harper in the previous election. It always has one foot placed in completely hysterical tabloidism. The Globe & Mail is an opinion paper, and not a place to get an honest depiction of events from.

Because no family can provide the vast learning experiences generated by the diversity of students and opportunities that educational institutions can provide.  Home schooled children are greatly restricted in the learning opportunities that schools can provide.  Parents who home school their children cannot experience the vast array of opportunities afforded to school based educational experiences.  Could parents provide this...maybe but doubtful.  It's kind of self-explanatory.  The richness of school can in no way be provided at home except in very extra-ordinary cases.

This coming from a guy who championed fake news as a way to get elected. The Russian Candidate is likely to tire of this game long before the media does. The media actually feeds on this stuff and will only get more blatant in their questions, doing more fact checking, more quickly and calling him and his running dog lackeys on everything he says.

Eventually he will not be able to say anything without being called a liar.

Some of his supporters would like to see media censorship introduced but that will trigger a constitutional crisis.

It is going be a long four years.


5-6 million illegals in the US whom Trump will deport. Trudeau says Canada is the first Post national state that stands for nothing. In addition Canadians being accommodating, gullible and willing to stand in longer lines for healthcare and increase their debt by $10 billion a year. Therefore Canada would be the perfect new home for these 5-6 million US illegals

"Chateau in Bordeau" you say.  Your credibility requires that you do at least minimal research.  The villa is at the Town of Oppede about 60 km inland from Marseilles. Is that not Provence, Cote d'Azur?
And you may enjoy writing sarcasm; as a reader I don't enjoy reading it.  Sarcasm suggests you're a very smart person.  Are you?


So... you're saying deport him?


I have a question for all those who are commenting on here. How many of you now complaining were on the abc/abh wagon that the media was pushing & got sucked up into the propaganda spewed by the left loving media & voted for the libs but are now crying about what they are doing? Not sure why so many people flip flop around & vote liberal knowing full well their track record shows them not to keep their promises. The red book under cretin is one fact to support their inept track record.


What a pipe dream!


Only the incredibly corrupt Schröder has been a worse post WW II chancellor.

Merkel is directly responsible for allowing unvetted Muslims into Germany.  Not only do most of these people have no job skills, but they have no interest in learning German or assimilating.  All most of them want to do is live off the very generous German welfare system.

Many of the Muslim immigrants have proved to be criminals.  For example, on New Year's Eve 2015 thousands of Muslims raped about 1200 German women around the Köln Bahnhof;  Merkel's initial reaction was to try to cover up these atrocities.

Just before Christmas 2016 another one of Merkel's unvetted Muslim terrorists murdered 12 and seriously injured scores of people in Berlin.

Merkel's disastrous open borders immigration policy was the main cause of Brexit.

Also, Merkel has unwisely ditched nuclear power and now Germany must import 2/3 of its energy.

Even Merkel has admitted that her multicultural/openborder/energy policies have failed.


So the president doesn't have the right to protest these actions?


This is another one of those "professors" who apparently get paid to indoctrinate our young people.

It's completely apparent to me that either Obama or Hillary is behind this....


Hear hear!


Yeah, that's right. Vote based on looks.


Pretty awkward. To stay in China's good graces and to abide by any side agreements that may have been made in the relaxed and informal setting of someone's living room, Canada is being asked to turn over people under its control to what amounts to certain torture, this time to China.


What do the protesters do for work? .... just wondering


the mainstream media business is so openly partisan, so openly devoid of ethic, only those inside that vile bubble believe they are doing "noble" work.  the rest of us know lies and deception when we see them.  and easily so here....


The Bank of Canada keeps rates and the dollar low so that the Chinese can launder their money, buy up our real estate, educate their children in our universities at our expense pay next to no taxes,  and get free health care. Mark Carney should be tried for treason.

I was referring to the funding of our national defense via income taxes.  Half of the households in America contribute nothing to it.  Sounds like John F might be one of them.


Why does the 'board' think this crazy was 'angry with Republicans?' Don't you know?  Do you have to query?  It's the incessant, daily, bashing, accusing, recriminations against our newly elected, Good American President, Donald J Trump, done by YOU of the 'board' and the DP, along with nearly every print and video outlet.  You never let up, I've yet to read ONE good statement about our president, Not one.  And you ask , why?  If you continue to blame, accuse, indict and sentence our president daily, sooner or later, instead of burning campus buildings, marching, resisting, protesting, agitating,   closing highways, shouting down conservative speakers at colleges, burning and looting, calling him a traitor, a Liar, being in cahoots with Putin and Russia, making his wealthy friends richer,  lining his own pockets, '23 million won't have health care if GOP bill passes' .......sorry, the list is so long, and so ongoing, I must stop writing, and YOU must stop obstructing our president.


what money did the mayor get to corrupt him?


He doesn't care about the Constitution.


I understand your perspective better now, kari2. If I were to hold your viewpoint about Hebrews, about it not being fully the Word of God, being unreliable, then perhaps my views would change about sacrifice.

Just to make sure that I've stated properly my thoughts on this; I believe that Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was the last one ever needed to reconcile us to God. All we then need to do to become a believer, and be able subsequently to stand in God's pure and holy presence, is to apply that sacrifice to ourselves once. In John 3, Jesus describes this event as being born again.

Once we have done that, the HS has entered us and taken up residence within us. As a result of this, God's works will flow from us naturally throughout our lives, just as Jesus describes it in John 7;

"Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’"

I suspect that there is no mathematics exit exam simply because the government would prefer it if we didn't have proof at just how innumerate that our secondary school diploma holders are.

As far a I can tell the 'powers that be' prefer it when the population is innumerate. This way they can take them to the cleaners financially with high-interest rates, loans that they can't afford, government debt, green energy scams, lower electricity rates through long-term borrowing, etc. (Look at the what happened in the US financial meltdown in 2008 or the Ontario electricity system.) I've worked with lots of poorly educated immigrants and Canadians who were barely literate, but when it came to calculating their over-time pay or how to budget a household they could run mathematical rings around our modern secondary school graduates.

One of them most important lessons in arithmetic should be understanding the exponential function and compounding interest.  Low interest rates won't last forever.


Game dominated by pitching, nothing wrong with that.  There will be enough scoring in upcoming games of this series to compensate.  Remember, baseball not soccer is the beautiful game and great pitching is 1 of the things that makes the game beautiful.

so you agree transit riders should pay thier own way 100%!! good!!


anthony aalto, You said that you once advocated to increase density in the Primary Urban Center in order to increase the supply of housing and to limit development to urban areas.  That is far more preferable than advocating for rail, hoping for affordable housing along the rail line.  Rail has been used to justify Hoopili, which will be built on the "best agricultural land in the state," which is how I think you put it.  Rail is already responsible for causing future urban sprawl.  It won't preserve the country.
You are opposed to making traffic worse.  Yet that is what the development along the rail line will do.  It won't be contained in the Primary Urban Center, but will extend the entire length of rail.  The first special district along the rail line is being planned for Waipahu.  Some of the new residents in that special district will take rail to work in town, but many more will take their cars.

CNN is the news outlet I was watching on Saturday, and that why I was commenting on CNN's coverage. For as much market saturation as CNN has, I expect that network to be more professional and ethical. If it wants to push the leftist agenda, that's its right, but be honest and say it. Don't pretend to be impartial journalists.

Do you accept that Donald Trump is the President?

"... his aids ... offered zero prof ..." I haven't spent the hours you have ascertaining crowd sizes, so I don't know if the President and his aides clearly lied. I'm certainly not taking your word or CNN's word as proof.


You have no idea of what you're talking about. There is no such thing as your made-up typically class-envious term "Barbados corporate dodge". Perhaps something you overheard on TV?  I left Canada years ago, pay no tax in Canada but also use zero services in Canada, including "schools and hospitals". When I do visit during the one nice week of weather/year, I pump a hell of a lot of money into your  useless economy.  If you think you're going to get one cent in tax from me from wages I legitimately made entirely outside Canada's borders, dream on. Talk about the ultimate in entitlement - you want people who don't even live in Canada to help fund Canadian lifestyles. Maybe if you lived within your means you wouldn't need to steal from others.

I'll happily burn my passport before that happens. As far as comparing to the US you do realize they have very large exemptions for income earned outside the US (approximately $100,000 USD), which is far more than most peons in Canada make, right?


Oh, lord, I just do not know why people worry about this stuff so much.


So she traveled in behave of the Arab American Community Center for Economic and Social Services-Ohio.  That makes me feel a little better knowing that she was doing work for her constituents in Hawaii.  Does this organization have an office in Hawaii?  She needs to remember that she represent the people of her district... especially the ones that voted for her.


Pretty typical of any government.  Nothing much to worry about, especially when you look at the Conservative leadership race and the continued voice of the alt-right, Trump adherents in that mess.

Of course, the Reform Haters will take any news about Canada and try to turn it into a Canada trashing exercise, but that is just a typical element of the struggle for Canada against fear, bigotry and hate.  Light is the best disinfectant.  Expose their dark nonsense to the light, ask for facts (which they never have in their make-believe world), and Canada will be fine.


Quite honestly I have no idea what you are talking about.


"Alaskans learn to live without.
For some, it's Trader Joe's. For others, it might be foreign films, In-N-Out Burger or a major sports team."

I don't answer "fake" questions.


That is the most ignorant comment of the year. Congrats.


Not according to the survey results out legislative majority took this year. A majority wanted a broad based tax, and then the legislature, at least the Senate, ignored it. I have live in Alaska my entire life. I haven't paid a dime for state courts, roads, police or schools. We are all free loaders, but responsible citizens think we should all pitch in. That IS fiscally conservative.


Next time I encounter a bear, I will just calmly discuss our need to mutually respect each other's space and see how far that gets me.

Perhaps if the public in general and those concerned in particular were not so infatuated with his footwear, a well framed, air tight question could be framed.


and what will they do about it.


There are plenty of larger diesel vehicles that have no problems at all meeting both U.S. and European rules, and indeed they came out 10 years ago (the U.S. "Tier 2" rules came into effect for 2007 model year vehicles).

The problem is that, on smaller vehicles, it is tough to find room for the emission control equipment and it hurts fuel economy.  It isn't at all impossible to do, but reducing NOx emissions down to a proper level will cause higher fuel consumption, and consumers buy based on fuel consumption, not air pollution emissions.  Many probably mistakenly believe that their diesel vehicles were somehow "environmentally friendly" due to the lower fuel consumption, even though they were polluting the air at levels vastly in excess of a comparable gas powered car.


In July 1997 the price of oil was $18.43 bbl and both provinces were deeply in debt.  Investing in technologies that were unproven and still to this day need taxpayer subsidies to bring them close to affordable for consumers was not going to happen.


Just FYI, RitaNY, "Session" is what we call our board of ruling elders in each local PCUSA congregation. Elders are elected by the congregation to serve as spiritual leaders. They usually head various church committees, from personnel to education to mission to worship. Most Sessions meets monthly. In some way almost every activity in the church is connected back to the Session for its oversight. Hope that's helpful.


Red Dog Mine paid NANA $1.3 Billion since the beginning and is the sole private contributor to the Northwest Arctic Borough.

It annually contributes $558 Million to the statewide economy, directly and indirectly, supporting 2800 Alaska jobs.

I'd say they're doing their fair share.

The impact of the UN arms trade treaty will be felt by local small business sporting goods shops and the millions of law abiding sport shooting Canadians.

It essentially involves expensive and onerous requirements to mark rifles and other small arms with markings identifying country of origin (which they already do, just not in the UN format), and what's refereed to as a back-door gun registry (which Canada recently rid itself of).

There are several other levels of bureaucratic and onerous paperwork, but what it will most certainly NOT do, is keep guns out of the hands of criminals.


Have to disagree with you, Dave, on this one.  A person who ends a friendship and shuns you because you didn't list your house for sale with her husband?  Really?  Yuck.  Goodbye.  Easy.


Hearing Trump enthusiastically mouth the words, "go nuclear", sends a chill down many people's spines.


What should stop is the nonsense that the payment was a "re-imbursement".    It's simply a token sum.

The jet had to fly anyway, so the incremental costs of an additional passenger is negligible, but agree that it's nonsense to say that this staffer "re-imbursed" the cost.    She only provided a minimal token sum that reflected an economy ticket.    Given that this was a private jet, with private terminal access, no lines, no hassle, no baggage checks, or security, she should have at least re-imbursed for a larger token sum.

Maybe the problem is the wording.


So you put all the needle junkies in one pen and watch them rape, rob and kill each other? Is that really your solution ? You do realize that when ever there is a large group of humans in one place, SOMEBODY will step up and start organizing things, right ? So the first thing that will happen is that the biggest, baddest needle junkie on the island will gather up all the drugs and start forcing others to provide HIM with sex, food, clothing etc. in return for drugs. When the drugs run out, he will have a stockpile of food, blankets, clothing etc. that he acquired in return for drugs which he will trade for whatever else he needs, (attractive young women or boys will have first choice). Then when everything else has been used up, he will have developed a cadre of "security staff" to protect him and anyone he chooses to protect and he will simply strong-arm everyone else into doing his bidding. That will continue until somebody kills him and takes his place. Survival of the meanest.


Does your "ideas and solution to match" include life in prison if you get caught killing the homeless, Rhyner?


"The city’s primary revenue generator is property taxes, which are among the nation’s lowest" does not tell the true story. Most property taxes in other states include school taxes, which are locally funded. Hawaii is the only state with a statewide school system and is paid for by the state, not the counties.


Linda Hamilton is certainly a walking lawsuit using her BLACK skin to the best of her abilities.

Her husband must be a piece of work as well...................


Why not just be honest and tell the little tyke that you don't know what the future holds and neither does anyone else so its best to just make the best use of the present.


Pifco,

Perhaps Trump just likes pictures of himself signing pieces of paper? It appears that he needs quite an audience for each signature. This is the easy bit. He appears to want to trash every bit of legislation that Obama brought in, whether good or bad. The tougher work of crafting useful legislation and getting it through committees, Congress and the Senate will be a lot more work.


I posted on another article that eventually, due to APD, the Assembly, and the State NOT doing their job, the citizenry was going to have to take matters into their own hands. This is just the start. Floyd SHOULD NOT BE CHARGED. If APD was doing their job, and had SB91 not entered into the picture, this massive increase in crime wouldn't be happening. It now IS. The criminals have more rights than the common citizenry and the excuse from APD is they 'don't have time' to pursue non-revenue generating crimes!

The regular Joe's are trying to do what's right by their fellow citizens in a vacuum of official responsibility, against a backdrop of escalating crime that has been Denied multiple times by the *officials* who are ostensibly in charge. Junkies, thieves, methheads abound and law-abiding folks are sick of inaction by those entrusted to TAKE action, to bring justice for victims. Instead, the thieves are let off with a stern talking-to. Enough is ENOUGH. Drop the charges!


"Cannot be accepted" by whom?  By you, maybe.  I couldn't care less, which is how I feel about another person's religious beliefs.  Everyone has the right to an opinion.


Aww, man, we lost a good one. RIP Stu!


It isn't "just a few bad cops" and the sooner you reject this lie the sooner we can address the issue.  Our police departments and the cops who work in them - ALL OF THEM - are rotten to the core!


Major tax fraud problem courtesy of illegal aliens.....  this could easily affect you...

Maybe if we gave the oil companies more public money they could afford to close abandoned wells. Duh?


I thought RE was a 'free market' where only market forces operated without government interference. Why is Clark using taxpayer money to subsidize and manipulate the RE industry? With young Canadians switching jobs and changing careers every 2-3 years I would not wish any of these youngsters (which Clark's policy targets) to be indebted and a slave working for the bank on property bought at the peak of the market.


Akriff, seems that old constitution even survived $9.00 per barrel. Yes there were lay off's, yes Ben Stevens and SB 141 screwed a lot of employees while he ran off with thousands, the fix is a full re-write of the ACA or completely disbanding it and using some of other programs suggested by professional doctors and not a single politician.


Roll a vehicle in a neighborhood = drunk, stupid or both. He's one lucky guy. Kudos to the citizens who helped out.


I like Spiligus.


I guess you don't disagree with the substance of my post. I hear the Forbidden City is popular with tourists too. There have been no emperors there for more than 100 years.


Silly T Rumplicans, when The Donald said he was going to drain the swamp you actually believed him? What he really meant was he will reign over the swamp and tap into it to fill his cabinet. Could you dimwits be more gullible? T Rumplicans, you just got trump'd... again.


BC NDP has publicly stated that they don't support the LEAP manifesto. Nice try, though.


First off, Arapio did face consequences for his actions.  He was, after all, found guilty in both a civil action and the criminal one. Your statement, therefore, is unsurprisingly incorrect yet again, but at least you educated yourself enough to know a trial for a petty criminal offense did, in fact, take place. Filing an appeal is not the same as having it granted and heard, but I wouldn't expect you to understand that quite yet.  And yes, just like MLK and others who chose disobedience of the laws and the courts in pursuit of what was right, there are consequences for that disobedience. Now, let us address whether or not pardoning this petty offense by Arapio merits the apoplectic response evidenced by the so-called progressives in our society.


Being old now in my 70's it doesn't really matter anymore for me, soon in 30 years...? who knows maybe I will able to collect social security, I have been trying very hard last year and still being denied saying my delayed birth certificate is not right with my state id. driver's license. who know you might succeed having us messed up. I consider myself educated  Geometric (GIS) background, math and chemistry was  no problem for me...you  have a good day and enjoy your life.


Exactly.
Numbers don't lie.


I prefer a person who listens to people and takes their opinions into consideration, rather than one who tells the people what he wants and thinks.


So, Trump tweets that it is now a witch hunt, and now here you are calling it a witch hunt......

I bet if Trump tweeted that the sky was lavender with green streaks, you'd be on here telling us that the sky being blue was "fake news", and that it was really lavender with green streaks.


If 5-3 is a "battering" I'd hate to think what the Nationals and Dbacks did to the Rockies would be described!

Meanwhile, a win is a win, even though 4&5 went 0-8 with 9 LOB.

And why is the DP the ONLY site I visit where pages continually become unresponsive?  Too poor to get more powerful server setup or an incompetent IT staff?


I suggest that you read Paul's Letter to the Romans---Chapter 16.  In it Paul recommends Phoebe---a deacon [not deaconess], and asks that she be given every that she may require.  Phoebe, in fact as a patron, underwrote the mission to Spain---which was important to Paul.  It was why Paul was writing to the Romans in the first place.  Paul then greets Prisca [nick-name for Priscilla] and her husband Aquila---who worked side-by-side with Paul.  This couple heard Apollos speak boldly about Jesus in the Jewish synagogue---but not correctly[Acts 18:24-26].  Luke writes, "they took him aside and explained the way of God to him more accurately" [Acts 18:26].

Paul commends Mary, who worked very hard in Rome.  Paul calls Andronicus and Junia, his relatives, early Christians and prominent among the apostles.
These women DID speak in church.  They did teach adults and they did put their lives on the line for the sake of Christ.

None of the apostles would recognize the Church today.


I agree, the issue here seems that they pose as medical centers. Maybe requiring them to disclose who funds them would be better?


Only the guy getting punched would be able to decide if his life was in danger.


We all have our own understanding of what causes homelessness.  And, we all are, most likely, right.  We just don't know what to do about it.  In our history, we have been in tougher situations before.


Perhaps she has difficulty walking.  Perhaps her vision is compromised. Perhaps her reaction time to a bicyclist traveling quickly is not as quick as the mouth of an ableist critic.  What she "insists" may not be as simple as a mere choice.


Let me get this straight, they bought the machine 4 years ago, a kid died there in May.  Why wasn't the machine available in May?


No federal government has ever obtained a 'social license' for mass immigration from Canadians.  This needs to change.  If the Conservatives put a 'referendum on immigration' into their party platform, they will handily win the next election.


I believe that I read at the time that Cardinal Ratzinger created a new category of assent to cover this tyranny


Cool...far out man.....in so many ways.....


You sound like a member of the clan John, every post you make you have to include race.


Trump: the short-seller's nightmare.


Hmm and the new pick for Chancellor at UAF in Fairbanks has an announced salary of $300k per year? Hmm and seniors and disabled are expected to live on much less than $2000 a month


Considering there is a borough wide ban with the exception of Houston, I think you will be fine leaving the ghetto of LA. The clients that frequent cannabis establishments are: doctors, lawyers, CEOs, executives, scientists, professors, young professionals, blue and white collar workers. Sure, there are the "stoner" types, but they are vastly outnumbered by the aforementioned. Crime already has a tight grip on Anchorage and it has nothing to do with cannabis. So try again with the crap logic and fear mongering. The voters have spoken and the government drags their feet to stall as long as they can. We voted for shops and cultivation facilities to open, yet not a one is established. We are in no better situation than we were before the vote.


Too many empathy challenged people commenting here.
Mobilize the army and get to work.

Oh gee, this is news?  this has been a big issue out in Aurora for a long time..


If you have lived here any amount of time, you should know that this is normal. 22 yr.s living on the corner of race and lauridsen above the gully, we saw cougar, bear, fox, raccoon, any number of WILD animals. Our children walked past a cougar every morning walking to Franklin school. Bears came into our back yards after our unsecured trash. Never was there a human harmed. Animals have disappeared, so yes, keep your pets safe. I live out west now and can add a bunch of other WILD animals to this list, with NO harm done to any human. Teach yourself and your children to be aware and how to scare WILD animals away. Don't go into their dens, etc.


Outstanding article and spot on.  Well done.


And on the lighter side, He will commandeer everyone having received any kind of  Government benefit to pick strawberries, raspberries, clean rooms at Trump towers and mow His lawns at $2 an hour.


Looks like those 80% of independents didn't support Clark very strongly, doesn't it?


Unintended consequence:  many will consider this a dis-incentive to hire women of child-bearing age.


The three day limit for unprocessed background checks is not a loophole. It's protecting a citizen who is not prohibited from possessing a firearm against an indefinite period wherein his or her rights have been infringed without due process. A reasonable compromise would be to lengthen the period but to keep it limited.
As far as women being shot and killed by their domestic partners, perhaps they would be better off by arming themselves with a firearm and training in its use than by a restraining order.
Child access prevention laws are good but they're reactive. They only come into play after there's been a shooting. Enforcement of such a law would require gun owners to submit to government inspections of their firearms storage. There very well may be some Fourth Amendment issues. And having to lock up all firearms when children are present makes a home a more difficult to defend gun free zone. The more sensible alternative is to keep firearms under control of a competent adult.


Happy for Bernardo but how will most of them treat the place?


The Trump Enterprises should be considered non-profit...in fact they are also unprofitable and the recipients of multiple bailouts.    That brings in every business in America regardless of ideology (neo-con or liberal).   I'd be fine with every business in America being required to show full disclosure of their finances as one of the conditions for not paying taxes.

I agree that simply having a belief in your own superiority shouldn't be a reason for tax breaks.  Even if you are a member of a cult, or a jingoistic 'family values' weirdo.


You're laughably silent about the 3,000 American civilians that died on 9/11.  What's the matter there, Dave63, the body count to high for you?


Absolutely not. That would be akin to aiding and abetting.


What like Trudeau dropping a economic bomb on us called the carbon tax on us?
30 Billion i n debt first year?

I'll take Oleary any day over this camp clown who let in 30,000 terrorists


UofT? Has this guy been checked for socio-political reliability yet?


who ever is in power i do hope they are not brain washed left wing sheep that has no clue in reality,that they understand resources have risks yes but we can and do manage them properly,,as the sky is not falling and the environment is fine


C:  No one is arguing the right to free speech, well, maybe except for you.  What people are upset about is the disrespect this display shows to those who bled and died so that these athletes can "take a knee".  That's what people are upset about.  That you don't see that is sad.


IRT Meat, and it's just one State, the State of Wisconsin.  They are a 50 - 50 State democrat v. republican.


Right on, oldmanj!


You may be right with that last comment,  in terms of motivation for offseason workouts, and into fall camp.


I don't think murdering two police officers is " tolerated because they are cloaked in 'freedoms.'" Just sayin.


Illegals go back to the garbage dump, buses are all ready.


Nope.....I said "IF it turns out......"

You're either trying to be cute, or your comprehension stinks.

The offshore account is in Tel Aviv, although whether Trumpy the Clown succeeds in collecting it or not is questionable.  The Zionists controlling our mass media may decide all the free publicity is payment enough.

The Trumpy the Clown Show is a horror story designed to stampede the electorate into Hillory the Blood Countess' arms.

I started to say this is one Stephen King wouldn't have envisioned, but he actually came pretty close in "Dead Zone" with his demonic presidential candidate.  We've got TWO of them.  How scary is THAT?


The Canadian banks keep pumping money into the subprime mortgage companies is a sure sign that the problem is much much bigger and worse than they let us to believe.
Watch the news. When and if  the government starts pumping money into it, then it is over.
The economy will never recover if return on investment is guaranteed and Pension Plans are raided to cover losses of private investors. Nurses and public workers are losing their retirement to allow a hospital CEO $720K pay plus beside two board memberships. Oh, corrupt me Lord!


Cable is no longer in my vocabulary.  Streaming devices are the way to go these days.   Netflix is alright, but you quickly get bored with the lack of content.  Apple TV wasn't an option for me because I don't have that kind of money. I currently use a mymatrixtv streaming media player and happy with it so far. Lots of content which is what I look for. ( I typically use it for streaming movies.)  The market is becoming flooded with these android boxes.  Some are pure garbage.  You just have to find the right one for you.


Will you ever get beyond the fact Trump won?  Or will you gloat with no substantive comments for the next three and a half years?


"The big issue is, who is the cause of the delays in a trial – the Crown, or the defence?" Dead on.


The controversy,  as I recall it, goes back to the post Vatican II era of the 1970's where many moral theologians encouraged  the use of the so-called "internal forum" or "good faith conscience "approach  to solving the  question of divorce, remarriage,  and reception of the Eucharist !

Explain unhinged left wing like you were trying to explain it to the first grader currently residing in the WH.


Sullivan' dad did not him elected to the Alaska US Senate, he bought and paid for the seat. My husband was out of town during most of the senate election. I saved the hundreds of big colorful flyers stuffed in our mailbox on a daily basis about how horrible Begich was and it you lived here a long time you know the lies. It was sad to see politics in this state get that low with all the dark money that flowed into this state to make the senate race not a matter of political views but just as nasty as Sullivan's super pac's could conjure up.


There is a Holiday at Debarr and Boniface as well.


Just thinking about how the threat to nuke has been used successfully in the past to come to an agreement could it be NK is trying to negotiate on terms favorable to it self an armistice to the Korean war? they learned how to do this from the US, if so. Look for some emissary being announced as arriving in NK. They will be carrying a message from the White House. The President has enormous power no matter what anyone might think of his public behavior. Just look at Ike - public image: golf playing lovable teddy bear grand father. In reality, tough as nails general ready to tear the heart out of an adversary.


Our delegates don't reject Trump because: Democrats and this batch of geniuses brought us ISIS.  Hillary would destroy the oil and gas industry, which our congressional delegation thinks is important since it provides nearly all income to our state.  Hillary wants to raise taxes, Trump wants to cut them. Hillary wants open borders and illegal executive actions on immigration, Trump wants to control immigration and enforce existing laws.  Hillary wants to continue the economic and regulatory regime that has brought us the lowest labor participation rate ever, Trump wants to put a moratorium on regulation and unleash the private sector.


IRT William Metzger:
Quoting you logic deniers,
"Weather is not climate".


Truth ?  They want the TRUTH?  They can't handle the truth. The Inquiry is deliberately set up to avoid the cold hard truth about life on reserves even though we already know.


This commercial has been brought to you by rich folks who also gave us SB21. Ask yourself why these two people should care about you and yours? They don't. They are pathetic and greedy and unethical men. This is Pure D bilgewater!


Dementia, insanity..  take your pick..  What is not understandable at this point is that the kids don't appear to think maybe there is something wrong with their dad.  Should he be impeached, he'll get off due to any one of the many psychological  shortcomings Trump has demonstrated as President.  Fact is the Republican Party is doing everything to push this train wreck to it's inevitable conclusion with the Vice-President idiling his engine.  That's the play here; let Trump self destruct and then have Pence in the WH, McConnell in the Senate, Ryan in the House and maybe a new SC appointee.  This has to be accomplished before the mid-terms.  America will be changed forever.


How is this helping the people of Hawaii? I hope Chris Butler pays for her trip.


How is this tax going to change peoples attitudes and lower green house gas emissions?

1) The name is "Linda"...

2) Look at which countries get quick visas...look at the people who get quick visas.  It is highly discriminatory.  Few to none of those who have illegally entered from Central America would ever get a visa...   Even from South America it took us two years and that was over 30 years ago for an immediate relative...quotas are discriminatory.


Yea the kitty museum of fantasy utopia
Or the museum of total incompetence by Eugene city gov.
Tourists again why does every group wanting someone else to pay for it spout tourists as the answer.
Tourists add more pollution use more natural resources clog the streets  and generally benefit only hotels restaurants and gas stations  all reluctantly paying minimum wage.  Oh yeah Eugene needs a museum for what we have a museum at the fair grounds even if it was 10 times the size
No one goes there.
What it really sounds like is a very small self important group reaching for power to control everything in certain areas. These groups are rampart on the east coast


As I've said numerous time, players have 10,000 other minutes during the week to peacefully and non-violently protest whatever they want, WITHOUT DISRESPECTING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.

The Capstone was also suppose to be the ""jewel"" of the downtown area.
Perhaps, a refinement plan would have prevented what actually was built.


Or "Conservative Gun Nut".  Would that work for you?


I did not vote for either one.  Hillary would have been far better than Trump but I did not care for her militant foreign policy.  Trump lost the popular vote but edged her out by winning 77,000 votes that gave him the electoral vote he needed.  WE are all paying the price for taking this reckless course now.


Mickels8; You're incorrect in your interpretation of the City and County Land-use Ordinances. The law is very clear that you cannot “provide” less than 30-day stays in residential zoning, unless you have a non-conforming use certificate. If you rent your property to transients for 9 days, and then don’t rent it to anyone else, you’re still breaking the law…. And even if you have a 30 day lease, if officials learn that the transients were not informed and given full rights and possession of the property for the agreed-upon 30 day period, you are in violation of the Honolulu Land-use ordinances for an illegal vacation rental and the Hawaii Revised Statutes for creating a subterfuge and fraudulent lease agreement.

"As a Canadian, this president is going to hurt our economy."

Well, last time I looked, "this president" wasn't a Canadian.  Does that mean are economy is okay, now?


I wish I could afford to send my kids to a school like Maritzburg College!

But yes, I would far prefer they be exposed to all kinds of viewpoints, so that they have as much information as possible when making their minds up. That's far more preferable than having them undergo something akin to the National Party indoctrination I was put through during my time at school, when any viewpoint other than the government's was effectively treasonous...

It's always easy to cry 'shut them up' when it's an opposing point of view, but when someone tries to shut our viewpoint up, we cry 'freedom of speech' - however, that's nothing short of hypocritical, because it's not freedom of speech unless those with views that are 180 degree polar opposite to you can also express them.


Funny though the G&M doesn't seem to mind the billions Canadians are being robbed of by carbon taxes.


Dr. Peter von Hippel earned his first of several degrees from MIT in 1952, His retirement date was March 1, 1999, after nearly 32 years of service, according to the PERS database, which would be at about age 68 or 69.

A 2011 article in The Oregonian, when he was then the ninth-highest PERS beneficiary at $19,677.95 per month (he's at $21,319 now), said he was still working full-time as an American Cancer Society researcher with post-doctorate students and others as a professor of chemistry. "I'm not getting paid; I'm doing this because I like to," he said. "I put in a lot of 12-hour days."

As for his PERS pension, he said university researchers in Oregon have historically been paid less than their counterparts in other states. "Several times while we were working they asked us to take an increase in our pension rather than salary. That's one of the reasons why our pensions are high," he said.


"But many were sorely disappointed when Ramsay Taum, PBR Hawaii’s cultural sustainability planner, told those gathered for the meeting at Wesley United Methodist Church in Kahala that he was unprepared to give a presentation."

So he got the check then.  Whew!


"Christian's friends on Facebook unfollowed him throughout the day Saturday. More than 20 had unfriended him by midday."

Ahhhh, but three to your zero do so far.

   I have to re-post this comment because someone was so fragile and threatened by it they marked it as un-civil.      It just goes to show that the previous comments I made about the so called enlightened left are true, they do not like anyone with a differing opinion having any voice.


I see the legalization of narcotics they have a very definite medical purpose. I see the legalization of amphetamines because of attention deficit disorder that 9 million Americans suffer and amphetamines is the only thing we have found that helps. Cocaine's derivatives are used in dental as well as orthopedics so I can see legalizing that. But, these are mood altering drugs not mind altering. I’ve been around for a long time took my first LSD trip in 1963. In my life I have seen people recover from alcohol, heroin, speed and cocaine and most people do recover and become happier productive loving people. I've seen very few pot heads recover they tend to be self-absorbed selfish and non-caring of others beliefs and feelings. Most pot heads that continue to use end up without family and morals. Just an observation remember I've been in favor of legalizing pot for over 50 years I can no longer justify that position.


I have better on hio, but nice cut n paste, your emulation is a compliment, I seem to have been accepted as a fun guy there,  go to the game last night comments. Lol.


I'm glad the press is calling the square Kesey Square again. Our deed restriction protects it. To see Downtown Solutions Forum Table Notes of Dec. forum attended by150 put the request in search engine.

I like a suggestion to ask Zane Kesey (15k FB followers) to help with a worldwide fund raiser to raise $ to catalyze new creative uses for Kesey Square

An idea: restart Eugene Celebration with beer/wine garden & music stage on BROADWAY.
(Broadway? maybe that is why the City chose a NY consulting group!)

Also collect $ via grants, biz, audiences to hire K Square overseer to coordinate venues televised for web, pub access.  An experienced grant writer volunteered services at public input.

Give the world tastes of Eugene showcasing local talent: song, dance, poetry, wisdom shares.

Get on the stage in the digital age this gen's mantra. Tourists will love it, buy post cards, recordings. Paint a Magic Bus on the wall or a hanging. Color sells!

Look, we ARE ALL getting ON the bus!


No reason to react to this piece. Hatred of Trump was expected and the expectation was met.

Hey Globe, can't you pay a Canadian to write this tripe?


Not all homeless people are alike and anecdotes are not data but while we're talking anecdotes I once gave food to a homeless couple and they sheepishly asked if I minded if they gave their dog some of the food I gave them.

Of course I was happy to see their dog get a meal as well.

I'm not really sure what your point was unless you're trying to paint all homeless people as greedy bastards who don't need any assistance at all.


At 11 Billion (or likely much more) the cost per rail guide way mile is $500 MILLION A MILE.

That is an INSANELY HIGH and OBSCENE COST per mile- likely the highest ever in world history to serve an incredibly small island population of one million- the vast majority of which are NOT commuters but paying huge regressive taxes FOREVER.

Compared to any other rail project in US history this is by far the largest cost anywhere and uses a regressive tax on the middle and low income. And they will be going after property taxes next which everyone promised "would never happen." (Like: "On Time, On Budget.")("When the Moon falls in the ocean.")

The HART website even contains many outright lies including "the majority of cost will be paid by visitors - when in truth it is more like 14-20 percent - and that will go down during the next likely tourism recession and Oahu taxpayers will pay 90% in regressive taxes.


Since the Liberals are only concerned about re-election, this is about buying the union vote. They are desperate.

We'll see if the car manufacturers get fed up and close their plants. Everyone can go and work on the wind farms afterwards.


4 Commons seats for PEI has nothing to do with FPTP or PR or electoral reform.

It has to do with a bargain at Confederation dividing senate seats into 24 seats for each of 4 regions and decreeing no province would ever have fewer MPs than senators.

The Maritimes (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI with a much larger % of the population than they have now) got 24 seats with NS and NB each getting ten and PEI getting 4.

Ergo, barring an amendment to the constitution (and nobody wants to open that can of worms) little PEI with .34% of the population will continue to have 1.18% of the seats but gradually as more seats are added and PEI remains at 4 their % of Commons seats will decline.

Inasmuch as my uncle occupied one of those four seats for 22 years I am a bit conflicted here.  In my uncle's time, the House only sat about 4 months a year, MPs got lousy pay, and it was a labour of civic responsibility for him not a trougher play.  But objectively speaking,  this is unfair to TROC.


Let's cut your income and see how that makes you feel, and no benefits either.

Tragic for the close knit community of Wales.  Also tragic that they are living in a society where going boating at 2 am with no safety gear is considered acceptable to anyone.  Tears will be shed rightly so, but have to wonder what, if anything, will change?  Poor choices are made all over the world, from villages to major cities.  Just hits so hard in a small community.


No, man made global climate change.  If big cities like LA are in the middle of a heat wave and power goes out city wide, people are going to die.  There is nothing that can be done for this generation as it takes decades after any reduction in man made fossil burning releasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere for improvement. However, if nothing is done long term, there is going to see a large die off of not just animals but humans.  Hawaii is not immune as well,  Waikiki beach will be under water.   Andwhat about having to build an entirely new fossil fuel burning electric generator to power the energy intensive Oahu train to nowhere.  Unless Hawaii is going to use nuclear power for electricity, the Oahu train will insure Oahumis a slave to fossil fuels & be forever contributor to man made global climate change.  Of course this is NOT an extinction level event but billions of humans will be winnowed out & would think Hawaii does not to be those winnowed out of existence.

He has been there for a long time knows things plays schemes....if the broncos deal with the chiefs they have the raiders pat that they got the west


From the same bunch of fools that tanked the world's economy in the first decade of this century, another shot at killing it again.  They haven't a clue


A few hours ago the Supreme Leader, Kim, declared that he was not going to launch missiles toward Guam at this moment, but he reserved the right to do so at any time and NK  would certainly "wring the necks of the evil Americans like chickens in due course."

Kim is currently building ICBMs with nuclear warheads capable of obliterating Denver and Colorado Springs.


I don't think it's very nice to refer to these kids as idiots.


If the people who supported Trump don't get what they want, I believe they will turn on him with their guns and create chaos throughout the US.
Remember these very people are supporters of the Ku Klux Klan, the NRA, and so many other white supremacists - all those people with swastikas marring their bodies.


LOL

Better start building those pipelines right now.


I am amazed how judgemental the comments are here. People commenting on things they have no expertise on. Try look at your house, how much flammable stuff do you have in you house?  All your furniture, drywall, clothes, carpet, drapes, cabinets, everything that's INSIDE the condos are flammable.


Racist shoehorning his personal beef in unrelated story...


Thank you.


And today's 9th Circuit illegal alien conviction is "Defendant-Appellant Doroteo Rocha-Alvarado appeals the district court’s imposition of a sixteen-level sentencing enhancement to his conviction of illegal reentry after deportation in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326.  We conclude that the district court did not err in applying the sixteen-level enhancement because, under the modified categorical approach, Rocha-Alvarado’s prior conviction for attempted sexual abuse in the first degree pursuant to Oregon Revised Statutes § 163.427(1)(a) qualifies as a “crime of violence"."

Rocha-Alvarado was charged with three counts of attempted sexual abuse in the first degree, alleging that on or between March 24, 2012, and August 29, 2012, he subjected a nine-year-old girl to sexual contact by touching her vagina, breast, and lips.

He was deported in 2013 and this is his sentence for coming back in after deportation.


oooh, the smug know it all arrogant reply of the fascist beneath the surface neo progressive
gosh.  I guess I've been put in my place, cause that's what its all about with you types, isn't it


And outside Air Canada Centre, sitting in a blacked out Bentley (think Rolls Royce) is a muscle-bound ticket scalper openly plying his trade.  A frigg'n Bentley !!  No wonder I can't afford to see a game or a concert.  Something very wrong with this picture, that this fine chap and all his greeeesy pals doing the same thing can get their grimy paws on that many tickets for every game and event from...........who? MLSE ?


The Washington Post article also considers the Podesta Wikileaks emails - And “dailymail uk” ? - Is this the same “Daily Mail” that ran with that totally bogus story about Melania Trump? - I’ll check out your Clinton Foundation link in the morning, look for the smoking gun, then let you know how wrong I am. (humor)


It makes sense that Trump would mark Tuesday’s Equal Pay Day by signing an executive order that revokes the 2014 Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces order which ensured that companies which contract with the federal government comply with labor and civil rights laws. So Trump is saying that not only is it okay to break the law and abuse workers and still be eligible for federal contracts, it also okays violators who break specific rules that impact women workers as well.

Sexual abuse in the workplace?  Trump signs an EO to provide cover for the abusers.


Punishing you and many others, that worked the work, and sometimes not to their liking as far as some jobs, but one had to do what they had to in order to keep their heads above water, raise a family, educate the children,paying their taxes, now because of being responsible for our lives we are being told well ya have to pay your share....
Not much of an incentive for anyone I am starting to think . Having said that I believe that being taxed should be done in a fair for the folks caught in the middle,just do not want to  everything that I worked going to a high flying bunch of politicians their waste and lacked of management and of no budgets or even an attempt to balance one.


"The attorneys are seeking class action status because they believe it would be impractical to file individual lawsuits for such a large group of plaintiffs, given that Europtics is a leading optical chain store in Colorado."
Should read: The attorneys are seeking a class action status because they are $eeing dollar $igns after looking through these glasses, especially since Europtics is a leading optical chain store in Colorado.
But then Europtics can sue Amazon, to let more lawyers in on the action. Then Amazon can sue their supplier.


"...a tad overblown"??  Say what you want about Clinton, but her behavior pales in the face of Trump's dishonesty. The ease with which he lies is breathtaking.  http://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/


Oh dear,the Left's MSM extremist fantasy world of delusions crashes around their lying ears. Who would of thunk it.


You forgot what I said about Jesus earlier. You may believe what I said, but Jesus expects everyone of his followers to LIVE it. Your comment shows you are not a follower.


Considering that  17 of the 112 comments on this article are from you, it seems that (like Mrs Higgins) you feel that only your opinion matters and that others must listen to it, no matter how rudely you word it.


"An entitled generation thinks that when they attend Mass they're doing God a favor, when, in fact they have a sacred obligation to do so, and that it's offensive to God if they deliberately choose to ignore him!"

Or maybe the idea of a God who takes names at the church door just doesn't make sense to them.


During the last election 3 of my kids teachers were attacking Harper while praising Trudeau.  One went as far as bringing in a TV with a recording of John Oliver having an all out rant against Harper, and made all the kids watch it.  During strikes here in BC, which were annual BCTF events, the union put up posters on classroom doors, telling kids they are doing it all for them.  And now we hear of the revisionist so called 'history'  being taught in school..Louis Riel is a hero apparently now......wow.  Scary times....and finally the We Day that is supposed to be a non-political feel good event for kids has had Trudeau show up to at least 4 of them that I have seen.   No wonder the young and indoctrinated think he is the answer....roll eyes.  The left have been and are going after our children, it needs to be stopped.


Don't be talking about Obama like that, Margaret8. Have some respect towards his highness...


Notice how Trudeau was silent at the protest of women in Iran who were being clubbed for refusing to cover their hair. Why is it that the Globe is incapable of addressing the issue at hand - political Islam or the idea of society governed by religion. There are 57 members of the OIC at the UN, should Canada attempt to accommodate symbols of a belief system that are only common where gender equality, press freedom, LGBT rights, and freedom of expression (religious satire) are non-existent?
The Globe is incapable of taking a position on Islamism, why is that? Trudeau's position is equivalent to arguing why can't Quebec be more like certain suburbs of Paris... because most Canadians don't support social regression paraded as hashtag diversity.


Mr. Tamua.  Batista story missing.  My point.  And not insignificant.  20,000 slaughtered from anywhere, it matters of course, plus much more.   He's no small part of the story.  Mising.


Yes.  These old articles concern the allegation of one man from 32+ years ago concerning an alleged conversation.

Of course, this allegation apparently has nothing to do with the current situation.


I'm confident, Bagwan, that your reading comprehension abilities are challenged on every attempt.


Just curious, was Mr. Beall paid for hisvparticipation?


just what canada needs, a fresh honest person who has not fallen for the sky is falling climate liars , LIKE YOU


Umm, JP...? You there? Yer breaking up, man.
Since when has Shannyn Moore been a Democrat? Only in your mind, pal.


There's that small matter of streetcars as well...


So I think you should spend a few months - 6?- at Spring Creek.


I liked the article.    Gerson does a good job of seeing some of the problems with authoritarian regimes, they don't work well in the long run.  There's clearly a point in weak or failing government that makes room for a strong armed leader that promises they can fix things if they just trust in them.     It sells, the frustration with indecision slows.   But in the long run, the price for calm, become stifling censorship, reduced creativity, less innovation and eventually, well, Korea.

It's important to know how leadership styles can effect human behaviors.  Gerson is pointing out 'central control' does not embrace the creative energy of a more open society.

A voice against authoritarian control, and support for functional alliances that discourage suppression and encourages cooperation, what's not to like?


I thank you for beginning a great and vital discussion. It is important that we decide as a state what our priorities are, so we can focus our energies. Our constitutional convention will be a place where we determine which issues are most central that they deserve mention in our founding document. Obscure tax codes do not get codified in the constitution, but our fundamental relationships–with the land, with our government, and with each other–will be governed by our constitution. The convention will allow us to debate and set priorities in an environment free from partisan squabbling and petty politics.


Judge Watson?    NOT !


Just to be accurate, Trump did not rescind or remove anything.  An unconstitutional executive order expired and he has simply done nothing.  He has correctly asserted the President is not a king who may decree laws.  In our system, if the Congress wants to make a DACA law they may.  The liars of the MSM seem determined to create a different impression, pretending mean old Trump woke up one day and decided to screw over 800,000 defenseless "children".


I am afraid it will take BOTH a sales and an income tax, and a drastic cut in state spending.


Fair enough, but are you suggesting that the appointment of General-grade officers to key positions such as "serving as the U.S. military intelligence -chief- in Afghanistan," an active war zone and a particular focus of the Administrations War on Terror, the subject of daily briefings to the White House with that same General's sign-off on all the information therein, occurs without any oversight, direction, or authorization from the White House?  This isn't some anonymous Captain in charge of a grunt unit.


Making the PFD into an endowment is a short cut into a recession - businesses will hurt from this once yearly PFD shot into the economy.  Once the PFD is spent by the elected leaders, those elected leaders will leave this state with absolutely nothing left for the real Alaskans who will stay in Alaska even when it becomes broke - we love it here, don't put us in this predicament.


Motley,

Come on, I don't see a direct threat to the President-Elect in Icon66's comment.  If that is a direct threat, then I  would like to see all of the current and past negative comments and suggestions posted online towards our current, sitting President of the United States be treated as your are suggesting.

Good day,

Gladys


You really have "NO IDEA" what you're  talking (spewing) about!!  Have you checked the price of oil today and are you aware that demand for same is expected to increase on average 2 to 3 % per year led by India (the next China)!  We all appreciate your contribution but, if you keep talking nonsense, nobody and I mean NOBODY, is going to listen to your, insane, non factual, unsubstantiated BS!...... BTW, still waiting for a debate about BC????


This doctor's frustration is understandable, but there are so many wars going on in the world at the moment ... so many in the Middle East and parts of Africa.  No matter how many times other nations respond, the wars continue, and the flood of refugees grows every year.

The UNHCR (developed in 1951)  reported 45.2-million refugees between 2012 and 2013, but that figure was revised upward to 65-million this year. Over-population is obviously a big factor.  The five main trouble spots are Afghanistan, Somalia, Iraq, Syria, and Sudan.

As Jeffrey Simpson once commented, this war is a nasty modern manifestation of an old fight between Sunnis and Shiites, and between different schools of Sunni Islam.  In this struggle, the West is hard-pressed to support one side without inflaming the other(s).  This war has its roots in fanaticism & fundamentalism ... and over-population.  How can 'the world' (meaning Western nations usually) solve that?


I work with people with a variety of "mental conditions" (schizophrenia, bipolar, obsessive-compulsive disorder, autism, etc.).  One important thing we do is to help them learn to react to challenging situations in a reasonable manner.  Otherwise, they might tend to overreact, sometimes under-react, depending on their diagnosis or even what kind of day they're having.  For example, people with Asperger's Syndrome can seem fairly normal, but have difficulty recognizing sarcasm, insincerity, or humor (like Sheldon Cooper, but it's not so cute in real life).

What is your background in this sort of thing?

THINK:  Would you or any of your friends kill yourself just because someone told you that your spouse just died in a car accident?  What kind of person (outside of Romeo & Juliet) would do that?


Laws of the land should only be enforced if they are good and valid.  Have you forgotten prohibition?  Today marijuana laws are largely ignorned.   Fact is this country up until the fifties had very few laws on immigration.  Don't give into the Donald's fears that they are coming for your women.


“DOC is the one that has the answers. They’re the ones responsible for housing our mentally ill, for taking care of them"
Here is the problem again, same perspective that the other parents with the dead daughter had. We have  a terrible mental health system and a growing mentally ill population, by default they end up in DOC's care, but this is not the role of DOC.


You can sell that stuff to people who know nothing about public sector collective bargaining, but to nobody else.   State employees have not in living memory "gave up something" to get something.   The closest they come to giving up something is not getting everything they want.   I started in LR for the State a couple of months after Gov. Cowper said, "all bets are off" and stayed for the whole almost ten year war between the State and the unions.  Even then the unionized employees never made any real concessions.   When we finally got them back under contract they gave back some goodies Gov. Sheffield had given them to try to placate them after the Leg refused to fund the '86 increases.  In dealing with the State's unions, you buy it or you take it, and I never worked for a Governor who had the fortitude to take anything from them.   FM might have, but oil went up and we didn't have to take anything.


....and preen himself.


Not a research Institute?


That was a joke? Big fail.


It's the economy stupid - Nothing else matters, and this will be a walk in the park for him (or Pence).


Try being gay or a theologian in the Church under BXVI or JPII.  On the other hand, if you were a conservative--who brought in big bucks-- you could build a mausoleum dedicated to your future sainthood like Escriva and Maciel.  One made it and one crashed and burned.  If Pope Francis is creating a climate of fear in the curia it's only because he learned how it's done as a bishop under JPII and BXVI.  Your comment is laughable, not ironic.


Learn to vet your sources clown. lol. There is no evidence. Period. Jesus was never mentioned in any Roman sources and there is no archeological evidence that Jesus ever existed. Even Christian sources are problematic – the Gospels come long after Jesus' death, written by people who never saw the man. Get back to reality man. Quoting some moron's blog is NOT proof. Google the word evidence man. sheesh.


It's quite a transformative realization once you correctly understand and are cognizant of the implications of the textbook definition of fascism: fascism is any public-private partnership that undermines civil liberties. That means, functionally: Joe Arpaio is a fascist. Jeff Sessions is a fascist. Dick Cheney is a fascist. Donald J Trump is a fascist. Rodrigo Duterte is a fascist. Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a fascist. The Saudi royals are fascists. Vladimir Putin is a fascist. And, sadly, it would appear that Cynthia H Coffman is also a functional member of the dark brotherhood of fascism. Let them all be so-judged and their threats degraded to that of powerlessness to wrongfully cause harm or inspire consternation in the meek lives they would exploit and degrade.


I raised tens of thousands of dollars, ran 2 radio advertising campaigns, organized demonstrations and petitions, canvassed door-to-door in the districts of our elected officials, lobbied members of the city council, testified at meetings of the Land Use Commission, Planning Commission, Zoning Committee and county council.  Our attorneys fought the project all the way to the Supreme Court.  I even fought for a bill in the Legislature to change the basis on which ag lands could be urbanized. I wrote op-ed articles in the Star-Advertiser and so on.  Kioni did even more. Despite all this effort, we failed.  We were never able to spark a truly populist movement.  There was no popular up-swell of opposition to Ho‘opili.  On the contrary there were many ordinary people who were convinced we needed the development and who showed up to testify.  On the eve of the LUC hearings in 2012 Civil Beat did a poll in which just 53% of residents said they wanted more land preservation on O‘ahu.


Surf's back up at Sandys; go do what you do best. Please back away from the computer before you hurt yourself.


Sad but true.


How many more people does the Trumpanzee have to fire before it is my turn to be Chief of Staff?


Wouldn't it be a better face-to-face conversation if the "persons of all races" first acknowledge that race is a social construction--an ideology which assumes that simple external differences are linked to other, more complex internal differences?


"Isn't it fun to play chess with living pieces?"

Yes.  To continue the fun.

There is a story about (I think) one of the citizen-democracies in an ancient Greek city-state. When the citizenry met to discuss and plan the affairs of the city, any citizen wanting to make a proposal did so with a noose around his neck.  If the citizenry found the proposal unacceptable, the noose was fatally tightened.  Might this be a useful strategy to apply to bishops, cardinals, popes, and other church functionaries?


Right, right, no matter what Republicans do or don't do from here on out, it's Obama's fault.

That sounds reasonable!


Apples and oranges.

You're comparing Ontario with the ROC.

The ON economy was/is manufacturing based so it can only be compared to an equivalent jurisdiction.

The economy of the ROC was/is far less manufacturing-based than Ontario's economy..

Compare with similar manufacturing-based economies  such as Michigan, Pennsylvania.


or how about "local businessman, monkey and girl scout money work towards job development"...


Im old, Im white,  I have 2 masters degrees, AND Im an evil Christian conservative -NOT republican--ergo I am your enemy and no fear I would never work around you or with your "firm".

your intolerance is predictable though


The key is she wants to live downtown. Says so herself. She can't. She has to commute like the masses or relocate to another job. Downtown has become a wealthy investment play, an AirBnB investment, or an empty unit investment strategy (renters were messy).

The entire strategy of the Toronto land use policy is to force locals out so wealthy immigrants and tourists can bring in the money. That's the story here. It's real economics. Not her personal sob story about couch surfing.


Francis has nothing to say to me or any other woman

Did Francis manage to get through all the interviews in the book
without saying
something derogatory about women♀ and
showing
his disdain for women♀ and
his non-inclusiveness toward women♀ and
his complete lack of leadership on this issue re women♀?

When is he going to 'dialog' with the Roman Catholic women priests? Oh. 'That door is shut.'

Who would want to dialog with someone afflicted with rancid chauvinism. It has not aged well.
♀♀♀

Maybe the Taliban would like to dialog with a kindred spirit. They would certainly understand his point of view on women

.


Again they teach what they are taught, and what the LAW says they must teach. The fact that many people believe a lie, does not make it truth, just a bigger lie. And I read a lot. What do you read.


Not true. At both RAU and UJ the title Associate Professor were and are still used. I used to be
one of them before I retired. Contrary to the author of this contribution, I did finish my
qualifications, and actually twice (two doctorates). To some of my papers, and the two textbooks I published in the US and Brazil, received as many as 24 citations. Not bragging, just saying it.


Breitbart didn't give (like CNN did) the town hall questions to Hillary 's Donna Brazille prior to the event!!


You offend God when you unworthily receive Him. Why do we want to offend someone we supposedly love? This really is not such a difficult concept.


Automatic tax increases, forever. Just the beginning of the never ending increase in taxes for individuals and businesses that Trudeau has planned.

Kudos to the senate - thank goodness we have someone in power that understands that endless borrowing, spending and increases in taxes will lead to only one thing - failure.

Time for the MSM to wake up and shake Canadians free of this airy fairy fascination with anything Trudeau. Pull the curtain back, blow away the smoke and remove the mirrors - this fall it is reality time for Justin and his BFF Kathleen Wynne.


I'm disturbed the the phrase "...Bernie supporters and the threat they pose to the Democratic unity bridge....."  I understand that being overworked and over saturated with the politics involved in a revolution can take its toll, but I think that blaming it on Bernie supporters (as if they are any different than Hillary supporters) is unfair. It smacks of favoritism, which pretty much shoots down any "unity" argument.

Politics is no longer about unwavering loyalty to The Party, and absolute, unquestioning support of The One favorite within that party. It's an "all bets are off" revolt against the trap that is a two party system. It can be quite an adjustment to accept that no one is required to support a candidate just because of party affiliation.

Yes, it's hard to deal with. No, it's not supposed to be "civil."  It's revolution.  Revolutions are always disruptive and painful. At least we aren't facing down tanks in the street.


'
…the rubes have already been gathered up by Trump.
.


Come on everyone, calm down.… Trump threatening to cancel NAFTA  is typical of his "hardball" negotiating tactics, , and us asking for all kinds of human rights language, is all posturing and bargaining chips.  Meanwhile, the real work is getting done.


Hard to ignore the Clap too. PaLIN Is a IGNORANT, HYPOCRITICAL , GRIFTER .


What makes you think the Brits didn't leak it, they have openly stated they hate Trump?
The actual info in the leak is a nothing-burger and much to do about nothing.


Speeded up the process.


What prudes these senators are.

Section 159 of the Criminal Code prescribes 16 as the age of consent.

Meredith has committed no crime. His fellow senators are, by banning him, about to.


Ridiculous.

 Please get back on track.

Why don't you start by watching Caldwell’s assurance that the rail is good to go with lots of financial details and numbers?

What are your thoughts on that?


At 95 he seems to be doing pretty good.

Most of us would have started slowing down a couple of decades earlier.


Mr. Wilson should be concerned with Harassment 2, offensive physical contact at a minimum.  If Assault 4 is pursued that may be overcharged with the information out there right now.
Perhaps his intake with Senate failed to include Workplace Violence Training.....like you need to watch a video to know you shouldn't put your hands on people?


Finally, someone with common sense. Thank you. Putin is laughing at us. He has succeeded beyond all expectations. Now we know why he wanted Trump to win. Chaos.


Kenney wants to do what Harper did to guarantee Conservative wins in Alberta. This is a far right takeover of the conservative movement in Alberta. This will not end well for Albertans, I doubt most would want the far right social agenda that Kenney represents and they can hardly argue fiscal conservatism when Kenney shared in the massive increase in federal government debt under Harper.


To add: smokers also still leave their toxic waste butts lying around everywhere.  Such slobs that can't be bothered to properly dispose of their own mess. Maybe Brin Caines is on to something - maybe smokers should be relegated to one or two "safe-smoking" sites per city so the 80% of us who don't smoke don't have to put up with their foul air and butts. If you're really addicted, there are other means of ingesting nicotine that don't infringe on everyone around you.


The economic development grant will not effect lifestyle of people in Coupeville nearly as much as overhead noise.  OH should keep the money and both sides remain friendly.
It is not free.
Duri.


I hope he is just toying with the liberals. He finds it so easy( well we all do) to get their gander up over anything at all. Kinda like picking on an infant.


This case is a prime example of why mandatory minimum sentences were instituted.  If a lawyer comes up with an effective sob story before a soft judge you end up with a sentence that is considerably lower than the norm.  According to the article the mandatory minimum is 60% of normal for this type of crime.


Jesus.....He told His disciples, for instance, "When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe" (Luke 11:21).


Ask Andy.


I would amend your strategy. I would lean towards paying the mortgage for certainty unless there was a crash in the market where I would put money into an RRSP or TFSA. At these historical levels on the stock market you at least as likely to lose money in the near term.

An extremely aggressive mortgage pay down can eliminate a reasonable mortgage much sooner than the 20 years described.


The Senate version of wealthcare polled at 12%, right. Even ACA at the low point and after all the lying of the right never got that low.

LOL!


Very balanced, and very well put, re our current situation. But,  I have something else to say.  The amaBantu,  have become so accustomed to blaming everyone else, for their own failings,  their own inabilities, their own failure to move forward and to acquire survival skills, which every other tribe in the world has had to learn to acquire,  that until they understand that they have themselves to blame, as well, for the mistakes they have made, including the abuse of resources,  colossal birthrates, the horrific crimes committed, they will never, go forward.   It is always so easy to blame, but when,  one has to look inward???


Putin is hilarious, his job with the KGB was to eliminate his bosses opposition, it's also how he worked his way into power, there was a documentary about it and, I don't recall him whining about that. He should do stand up comedy, he would kill it.


Lock her up!


Kurt Vonnegut is probably rolling over in his grave. Scott's has created the Ice-9 of the plant kingdom and released it into the wild. Meanwhile, Monsanto shoots themselves in the hind side by helping develop this little green monster and simultaneously ruining their market for Roundup as the new grass takes over the world. But perhaps they have an ace up their sleeve. Who will bet me once the new grass takes over, Monsanto introduces a "breakthrough" new product capable of selectively killing the Frankengrass? This kind of irresponsible activity is what the USDA is for. They should make Scott's and Monsanto responsible for mitigating any and all damage claims due to the new grass, forever. This would encourage them to come up with a solution sooner rather than later. I would like to own the upstart company that beats them to a solution!


Melania Trump worked as a model while she was in the US on a tourist visa.

She made more than minimum wage too.


oh please the terrorist have been murdering against the usa long before trump.


Here is solution to the supposed "Two State" issue.
It becomes one big state of Israel.
The fourteen countries who voted "Yes" get the honor of migrating 1/14th of people that did live there to their 14 countries.


Alaska and Minnesota are sorry Donald.


I found this article to be very thorough and both comments thus far invaluable.
A. Is there a way to observe the permitted park users as  (being given a small GIS tag when receiving permit,) one wears throughout their allotted time in the "park" and when they leave it is disposed of(?) and non permitted people would not have this, so, to make the officers work easier when they come upon campers. Is this too "modern," for the camping experience?

B.Maybe even an app on their phone that they can plug into once they receive their permit (#) and are in the park to assist park rangers/officers.


The only thing that they have voted on is an approval to debate the bill.  Nothing substantive has happened.  So wait for a couple of days before it gets interesting, if it gets off the ground, like it hasn't before.
