Von Miller is a great dancer?
No, Miller makes me cringe when he dances.
As for Dancing With The Stars, during Miller's celebrity tour of the lower U.S. as Super Bowl 50 MVP, there was a painful moment.
Whoever convinced Miller to dance as Elvis Presley should be thrown in a steaming cauldron and cooked ... alive.
Miller as Presley on DWTS is about as tone deaf as asking Wade Phillips to play as a defensive lineman.
Miller can't dance.
Miller can thrive as a chicken rancher.
Miller can also sack the quarterback.
Just let him do what he does best.
No, he can't dance.


"Who says google is collecting data as part of this project?"  Is the Pope Catholic? Do bears . . .  never mind.  Collecting data is their business.  Why would they stop for this project?

You are right - we will pay one way or another.

But if I needed meds for severe chronic pain, or pain meds to help a long transition to end of life - then I would be none too happy at paying for an expensive pharmacare plan to receive partial coverage, or paying for the drugs out of pocket.


If Trump loses, I think the GOP will split. Trump supporters will either leave or take over the GOP. If the true conservatives somehow take over, the Trump supporters will form a white identity party. They want to take us back to sometime before 1960. Trump is clearly the preferred candidate of Klansmen, Nazis, and general bigots.


You mean she has been promoting chaos and division.


Nicely said.  Happily helping and hobbling together toward Our Loving Father.


Nothing to 'clarify'.  Nai Aupuni is just the latest Kau Inoa scam.  And Crabbe WAS running this scam through a phony 3rd party group.  No 'clarification' needed, thanks.


Every Canadian hopes that all First Nations get the proper leadership for success and to stop the horrendous problems stemming from misplaced intentions.


Oh yes, the good olde Southern God fearing evangelist right wingers-hyprocrites most of them.


"Hilcorp personnel are working to identify the source of the bubbling".  Maybe shut off the pipeline and see if the bubbles stop.


Ah yes...the Globe and Mail's latest "Trump Attack du Jour".

Meanwhile, Trudeau is bankrupting Canada and Wynne HAS bankrupted Ontario.

But on those two politicians.....crickets.


The planning and intention of the 6 April missile strike are really quite clear when one blows away the academic smoke that obscures the details of the narrative.  E.g., as the writer states, the shoot-down occurred ".. . . as the jet approached Kigali’s airport AFTER PEACE NEGOTIATIONS IN TANZANIA."  Though generally correct, the statement promotes the misconception that the flight originated in Arusha, Tanzania, site of the Arusha Peace negotiations.  In fact, the Hutu presidents were returning from DAR-ES-SALAAM, where an ad hoc conference on regional security had been called by Uganda's Museveni, Kagame's godfather, and principal anglo-phone agent in the secret wars over the French Pré carré.  Museveni had hoped to gather all his regional adversaries in that single plane (Mobutu was tipped off by his security chief Honoré Ngbanda and bailed). This was the set up.  Then after the plane went down, the RPF launched its final military offensive to seize State power. Hence, 'genocide'.


Are you wondering why neo-Nazis are not a protected class?


Europeans came to Canada legally. Your point is moot.


A former Senator, who is a really honest guy, explained the multi-national corporations make far, far greater returns by drilling in Juneau, than up on the North Slope.  It spend millions on media, lobbyists, fancy dinners, jobs for legislators or their family members, and presto, it gets billions and billions and billions worth of oil, AND Alaskans pay to have that valuable oil removed.

This unconstitutional legislation (violates Art. VIII) is destroying Alaska.  Tens of thousands of Alaskans will be losing their jobs.  Alaskans who thought they were going to collect a PERS/TRS retirement will not- that collapse is about 10 years away.  The equity families have built up in their homes will be wiped out.

Alaska looks worse than a third- world banana republic.  And it makes those who argued that Alaska should be denied statehood look prophetic when they argued Alaska was too small, too corrupt to make a go of it.

We will begin replacing the thugs who have done this to us soon.


Dear Quebecker's, Albertan's, Ontarian's & the International Community,

The Canadian Government has frozen transfer payments to the Provinces and put a moratorium on immigration until we get our own house in order. Then and when we can create meaningful work for Canadians, first & foremost, while reducing taxes while improving the living standards for Canadian's across Canada, is our top priority. When we accomplish this, which will greatly benefit everyone, can we consider talking about sovereignty issues that affect everyone including new Canadians

Best regards,

Common Sense
(not Populist)


They're considered conservative Christians for many reasons. They strictly follow their teachings, which includes both the Old Testament and the New Testament as well as the false narratives. Criticism of their Church or leaders likely leads to excommunication for any member. I'm pretty certain they require one year serving as a "missionary", which might be why so many boys dressed neatly in black dress pants and white dress shirts ride around on their bikes, promoting their religion. There's more.

But you're correct in that they are cult-like. They don't like outsiders. They baptize people long dead, even having been baptized in another faith while alive. Partly to assuage living descendants who are Mormon... but maybe to boost numbers of recorded Mormon baptisims? The special diaper.... errr, underwear, which has to be worn at baptism. The special name given a member at baptism.


The idea that ISMI catchers fall within a "grey zone" is a complete joke.


Oddly enough - we have an answer to your question.  On the one hand, we have Trudeau, dancing ever so delicately around this pipeline issue, while at the same time offering up an $867 million dollar support package to BC's softwood lumber industry.  On the other hand, we have Catherine McKenna, Trudeau's environment minister, playing hardball with Manitoba and Saskatchewan over their refusal to sign on to the federal carbon taxing scheme.  She is apparently cutting off all of their funding for clean energy projects.

So, to sum up, Manitoba and Saskatchewan don't follow the federal government's carbon tax initiatives, and they get their hands slapped with funding cuts (courtesy of McKenna).  Alternatively, BC decides not to follow the federal government's pipeline initiatives, yet incredibly, not only does BC not hear about it from Trudeau, but he turns around and offers them $867 million in support for softwood lumber, plus further support for the fentanyl crisis.  Utterly amazing!


She was abused...she isn't "judging the parenting of others", she is reflecting on the very real and painful experience she had growing up, at the hands of an abusive father.

Your response lacks understanding and compassion, and reeks of judgment of this woman.

Get a clue.


So you are trespassing on someone's private property and then you attack them repeatedly and you think that's okay? Unbelievable!


I am disagreeing with you man! That's whats wrong with me. The Maimane / DA strategy has been highly effective in holding the ANC to account and causing them to look increasingly poor and weak. Another bout of debate in a plenary session will serve more of the same debilitating weakening of the ANC morality, along with court cases against Zuma. Pressure pressure pressure is the tactic - all democratic and legal. Get with the program, man.
BTW, what is your beef with Maimane. If it was still Zille at the helm, would your beef be less spitting?


That it is not yours makes it a lot more appealing.


Basically it is non interference by government.
We have put our economy in a straitjacket and we complain it is not working. So what do we do? We tighten the buckles.
Liberate the economy. Get rid of the BBBEE (especially on small businesses) and AA and watch the economy explode. Blacks will be absorbed into the system, in management and ownership etc, simply because they have to be. The market will decide it. Currently we need BBBEE and AA because we have hobbled the economy and positions are severely limited.
What we have now is not working. Instead of amplifying what is not working lets try something new. Something that has worked elsewhere. Let us not be another Venezuela.


Prevention is generally better than curing. A first step would be to implement serious contraceptive education and distribution in poor areas, not focusing only on condoms (which require male acceptance) but also on pills and new long-term methods such as contraceptive implants or IUDs. Another option could be limiting child grants to up to two kids. It is definitely not an easy problem to solve.


"Lol. I'm sorry, just LOL. You have the best invented factoids. Lol. Here, let me get a fire extinguisher for those trousers..."
OK so you have nothing and are too embarrassed to admit it. I thought as much but not being as self satisfied as you I made allowance for the possibility I was forgetting something. Clearly I wasn't and you were just playing games and got caught out. Otherwise you would have posted what you think you have. Nothing left of that veneer now... your posts show the real you. I pity you.
PS I know you have an uncontrollable compulsion to have the last word no matter who you're talking too. Can't wait to see what fantasy you post next.


Good decision.  We somehow have 8 Supreme Court justices who understand that the first amendment wasn't designed to protect popular speech.  I hope this bodes well for the future.


> U of T has also offered to help the college with its diversity training.

Yet there were black students there to be offended.

This really does sound like an off-hand joke that has been blown way out of proportion. But I suppose that is the atmosphere on university campuses these days.

Watch what you say if you are talking to someone of another "group". And certainly be very careful what you put on facebook (even if you think the group is private as it only takes one 'rat' to make everything public).

You don't want to be accused of something after all.


"The Republicans like having one of their own in the White House, but they don't really have one of their own. They have Trump."

I'm afraid I have to take issue with that. Donald Trump is nothing if not an opportunist, and when he decided to run for president he made an informed decision that the best way to accomplish his goal was via the Republican party. So he made the switch and the rest is history. While he is certainly not an "establishment Republican," he was certainly popular enough among all Republicans to win. So instead of saying Republicans "have Trump" I think it is more accurate to say that they now own him. He emerged from their ranks, he filled his cabinet with extreme right-wingers, and now he's governing like one. He has, in short, become one of them.

As for the health care flop, Trump can try to blame Democrats all he wants. Since Republicans own the entire store, this is all on them. It was their failure with Trump leading them over the cliff. Good riddance.


Fine lets try this to put a stop to this constant bleeding at the taxpayers expense.

 From now on any lawsuits will come right out of Indian Affairs budget. No new money will be put forward. Any suits will be settled with less money available for the rest of the Native population.  Further, within a five year period Indian Affairs budget will be cut in half and at by 2027 disbanded in its entirety.


He had time to play golf 5 times in the last 9 days, but no time to reach out to the families,


agree.  It is sad to see it.  Deterioration abounds.


Oregon could set up a GoFundMe account.


libtard? Oh yeah I forgot he was a conservative. Wish more people would go to the website "Study links low intelligence and low IQ to conservatism and prejudice" It explains how conservatism came into being. And we misunderestimated the former dunce we had, when he started up the "compassionate conservatism". What values do they have when they are busy defunding programs with the resulting unneccessary deaths of tens of thousands of Americans a year, and instead giving the same funding to their corporate sponsors with entitlements?


Just say no to carbon taxes.  Brad Wall for PM.


I believe corporations pay business taxes after deducting expenses.  Then incorporated business individuals pay separate taxes on their earnings.  Since the incorporated business is a separate individual from the so-called owner, there are two separate taxes related here.


I saw the tape.  The male passenger overreacted and escalated the conflict.  The flight attendant was also wrong for challenging the male passenger to fight him or hit him.  He needs to be fired or suspended and retrained.

I have come to find that over time, the opposition to the rail system (sans the budgetary issues, which seem to be the most relevant on this program) typically come out with messages like this that are increasingly tone deaf to the reality of what we are facing in front of us.

This is not a helpful article in bringing to light anything new. But then again, i should not be surprised. Every single argument against rail has come out and been repeated now three times in elections, never mind the 2 decades before the current system build out in the opposition to the 1992 program.


My company has the same problem, huge deductibles.  They now offer an AFLAC option that essentially pays the deductible for an additional doable monthly premium.  Lots of us took the AFLAC option and are now using our insurance.

Another headline to distract the liberals and nothing will come of this. I seem to remember Clinton firing his FBI director.

Funny how a major attack on republicans is already old news. We know for a fact if the tables had been turned it would still be front page.

The left is trying to consume the Trump presidency with scandals. In 2020 the voters will remember that and you can have 8 full years of Trump.


Populism is simply government by the uninformed, the fearful, and racists. Congratulations to the Dutch for rejecting it.


I think Wavemaker's implication here is that the perpetrator is assuming the victims meet some criteria.

A narrative that I've speculated (based on what little information is available) is that it is possible that an altercation took place between someone and Kevin.  Maybe Brie was in the area (possibly playing Pokemon go?) and heard the altercation.  I wouldn't put it passed a community activist to set aside personal fears in an attempt to resolve a disagreement.  I realize at this point it is purely speculative.  I am offering this scenario as a possible explanation of how these two individuals paths may have crossed.

One thing is clear, Justice must be served.


There's the possibility that the gunman used a bullet belt. Here's a YouTube video of a belt-fed, modified AR-15 firing off 1,000 9mm rounds non-stop, without ever having to reload: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5UpAcMR1dI

That's a staggering 1,000 rounds in 1 minute and 20 seconds !


Anyone who says, "only companies will pay" or "only consumers will pay" are either liars or willfully ignoring plenty of examples to the contrary.


Come on people, $200 a day is cheap even after all the expenses. If I was there I'd charge $1,000 a day (minimum) after expenses. Geez. I know what I'm worth. I am not cheap.


Rolling back Obama's bills and EOs was very important to Trump supporters.

From HopeRobert earlier:  "The guy is either willfully deceitful or jaw dropping stupid."

This.  And then some.  I can't believe that someone would readily walk into a war zone, one in which Westerners almost automatically get a hostile reaction, with a pregnant wife.

The one thing I will say:  given the level of chaos in Afghanistan, it's entirely possible that he and his family were well treated in one place and actively assaulted in another (and, passed from one group to another over the five years).  And, dazzling level of naiveté or not:  just because you're stupid, it doesn't mean you merit that kind of treatment.

...I truly feel sorry for her....


This is all much ado about nothing.  If the US pulls out of "NAFTA" there is an explicit provision in that agreement in which the former Canada US FTA survives it.


Can we all look forward to the day when nothing can be honoured because someone might take offense?  Humans are both imperfect and products of their time.  Some achieve more than others, and those achievements ought to be commemorated as an inspiration to others, just as the errors they made should serve as lessons.

Perhaps the more strident supporters of a wholesale whitewashing of history would prefer that no statues grace our parks, that all buildngs and streets bear numbers rather than names, that architecture from the repressive and racist Victorian and Edwardian eras be razed, and that books casting minorities in a poor light be burned.


And yet it's refreshing to see that educated, intelligent, thoughtful young men and women aspire to become officers to make a difference in their communities.  Policing is much different than it was even 10-15 years ago.  It is a thankless job that doesn't pay especially well compared to many careers and yet young people still want to it; many of them (hopefully most) for all the right reasons.  It kind of sheds a different light on the national perspective doesn't it!


One can, and will, argue until election day about how businesses will respond if M97 passes. That's exactly what the measure's authors want: uncertainty and constant debate about who ultimately will pay this huge tax.

As we try to make sense of what it will mean to the average person, focus on retailers. M97, with its single rate for all businesses, hits most retailers extremely hard, taking all of the profits of many, such as grocers and auto dealers. They cannot stay in business unless they raise their prices, so M97 becomes a stealth sales tax paid by us.

Most states that have a direct sales tax exempt food and medicine. Most states that have a gross receipts tax (like M97) have a much lower rate for retailers. Not M97. It is the ultimate in regressive taxation, hitting low income people the hardest.


Grab 'em by the hockey puck eh!?


"a mom that can make it up to them one day" a mom 'who' can't make it up to her kids, but that's not my point. Parents can't magically rewind the clock and show up for their kid's
3rd grade whatever or help with homework or just be there to ask a broken-hearted child "Can I hug you?" Parents can scar their kids for life - I have zero sympathy.


Because unlike you Liberals, we can see criminals for what they are, not that they are going to be a "historic first"...


guess the high-minded academic hasnt been paying attention to the US news of late - obstruction, collusion has been debunked and even Dems are admitting they have a bag full of nothing ... oh well lots of egg to go around for the many faces that are discredited including this author - Trumpenstien doesnt need a war just a continued investigation that continues to clear him at every turn - even Matthews at MSNC said the dream of impeachment of DT is gone like the wind - but keep spreading false news and keep up with the fear mongering - the left stream media has had to walk back so many stories based on anonymous sources and third-party accounts of events that their credibility is shredded a lot this author's - but hey Trumpenstien is liar.... if we prosecuted every lying pol we would have no room in our jails for violent thugs - but keep it up guy, ur destined to fail and will have no out


More evidence of identity politics ...and the dangers thereof.


Tobin comes from a legendary YUGE Irish RC family.  Statistically, gotta have gays members.  Usually persons who have close contact with a gay family member, friend, etc. tend to be less rejecting of gays. (Exceptions of course, like the RC perennial political candidate Alan Keyes who rejected his lesbian daughter.)
RE: Parishes in Howell, NE.  Finally, ecumenism comes to RC parishes - because of dwindling numbers!  So, so tribal these many years.  More faith in the tribe than the Jesus.  Reminds me of two Polish parishes in Pennsylvania.  Immigrant members  from same part of Poland but different sections.  So they had separate Polish RC churches in same town with only a parking lot between them.
Methinks with dwindling numbers only parking lot is left!


The author doesn't get it.  There may be enough "units" to meet demand but not everyone wants to live in a condo, esp. those with a family.  This is all about low rise and in particular single family detached (SFD), of which there is a severe shortage.  Thats what is leading the price escalation.  A foreign buyer tax and non-resident property surtax should be introduced but that won't fix the shortage of SFD homes.

You live in a fantasy world, the conservatives have a new leader and Alberta is finalizing  the merger.  Kathleen is sitting at 12 percent approval rating, we are done with her period.
Keep praying for your miracle, its all you can hope for.


"contradictory study?" ??? You're not hearing much either way are you? That's because the Obama era Multi-Million Dollar grants for studies 'Proving' climate change no longer exist. Science is slow but sure. Einstein and Darwin are still Theories,1 Big Difference between climate change Theory; They predict something that Actually Happens. So let's take those government funded models apart and see if we can Fix them or must Junk them altogether.


Trump may be talking tough, but does he have to sound like a kid in a kindergarten playground. A true world leader would not stoop to name calling. The rhetoric between these two nations' leaders is ridiculous. We are potentially talking about millions of human lives and the destruction of civilizations. It would help if adults were making the decisions.


That is still against the law - you cannot discharge a firearm in city limits. If my neighbor shot a gun in his house and I called them, they BETTER come.


Just another example of why you have to be wary of anyone named Henry most if not all of them are pedophiles


Ian, I note that you disagree but provide no countervailing argument or comment.  I am not singling you out; this is a problem at  large with many of the users of this site.

You could be in favour or increasing, lowering or doing something entirely with regards to corporate income tax.  You may be right, you may be wrong; however the readers of these posts will never know.
Your opinion may change some peoples thinking or it may not but at the very least it will help to understand your thinking,  encourage debate and examine trends.

I think that the disagree emoji should be used sparingly and only if the person disagreeing puts forth their views for consideration.


"Peel students have spoken respectfully about the importance of their faith." This only applies to one faith. When did religion become a priority at PUBLIC schools, which are open to those of all religions or no religion? Why have mosques and other religious institutions if PUBLIC SCHOOLS must also become the domain of various gods -- or in this case, just one god? Yusuf Qaradawi is the leading cleric and inspirational leader for the Muslim Brotherhood (where are the sisters?), and he stated the Brotherhood will eventually take over North America and Europe.  This will be accomplished by using the 'enlightened multicultural policies' of the West ... which have never been used nor applied in the theocracies of the Middle East.

Public schools should be teaching relevant courses to help ALL students progress and participate in modern mainstream society. Science and technology never stand still, so astute adaptive minds are required -- not ancient mythologica stagnation.

Looks like Wiewel got what he wanted. Nicely played.


Another article that just seems to muddy the water concerning the discussion over the proposed changes, with the exception of the last quoted sentence. There is a difference between a corporation and an individual who owns even all the shares in the corporation yet they are being treated as somewhat equivalent in the article. If a person could deduct life insurance expenses from their income to determine taxable income who wouldn't? Maybe the solution to the "unfairness" in the proposals is for everybody to incorporate and sell their services to those who employ them so the tax benefits from incorporation are available to all? The real aim of incorporation should be the encouragement of risk taking through limited liability and not to provide "tax breaks".


Personally I think he looks like a cartoon rat with hair.  Unlike his father who looked like a cartoon rat without hair.


Just a perpetuatiom of the dos Santos family looting machine!


Agree. If CBC wants more public support it should go back to producing the quality of a Ken Burns epic, not a half-baked ("Worlds Collide") Nature of Things episode? Would PBS ask someone whose background is e.g., Lifestyle cable tv or HGTV to direct a show on history and politics? What is it about hiring staff who have had their turn in the past already? Does Canada really have such a shortage of talent or am I just being too picky here?


Oh perhaps I should clarify, in communist progressive countries, only one view is allowed and presented. The public is not privy to any that do not fit the script that is carefully prepared. Even CNN had portions of their live show blacked out (during the live broadcast!) once in a communist country-shocked the heck out of Anderson Cooper!


Sounds good, except that what chance is there for any PFD in the future?  If our legislators manage to tap it out of existence, then the voter registration part will be useless.  And if registration is tied to the possibly non-existent in the future PFD, then the public may associate it with an extinct PFD ... and quit registering to vote.


When He made that statement about not losing one, He was clearly talking about the apostles.   It is you with your predestination nonsense that says Jesus died in vain.   You are saying that Jesus's atoning blood is only available for a select few, while I am saying that it is available for ALL.
2nd Corinithians 5:15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.
So is the blood of Jesus for all or just a select few?
John 1:29, "The next day he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, 'Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!'


If criminals obeyed laws....like say the new gun-grabber law  requiring someone to submit to a background check before takin possession of a gun.....then either the guns would still be in the store or the criminals would have left behind photocopies of their IDs and background paperwork.

Blaming the guns for being stolen is like blaming a woman for being raped.


I'm often disheartened by many individual's unwillingness to share, cooperate and compromise some for the greater good. I believe that fear of the unknown guides these orientations. As a member of the Disciples of Dirt Mountain Biking club I and co-members perform thousands of hours volunteering annually in maintaining our local trails around Hardesty, Waldo, Oakridge, Cottage Grove and other places. The trails and other user groups benefit from the involvement of bicyclists who are generally a considerate, affluent group. The plan for opening wilderness areas to bicycles does not involve a plan to open it up to motorized transport. Bicycles are quiet and most bicyclists are extremely respectful. Opening up wilderness trails would greatly add to the quality of life of thousands of people like me. The benefits of opening up these trails to bicycles far outweigh the drawbacks. I believe hikers, bikers and equestrians CAN get along. Let's not let fear stop progression as it often does.


yes they are acting in a primitive, pack-based, mentality. in psychological terms they are exactly the same except that they do it on their own.... no one is forcing them to commit perjury but they do...

Our home does not have air conditioning.   We have had less that a week of 'uncomfortable' days since we moved here 4 years ago.   *We live about 400 feet above the valley floor, shaded for half a day by on old stand of Doug fir.     I understand we are blessed when it come to hot weather challenges.  When my family lived out past Santa Clara, dad had put in a least 2 window air conditioners.  I'm not hating on those who use air conditioners, the heat can kill the vulnerable.

Dad also had exterior awnings on any window with a sunny exposure.  That another good passive way to fight the heat, that most homeowners don't want to do anymore.    Opening the home in the evening and shutting it down before the heat rises also works in this area.

That's the exact point, the scope of the OMB strays well beyond considering whether the municipal and provincial policies are met.

It shouldn't exist to undermine democratic leaders by using appointees who are essentially chosen by developers who fund provincial election campaigns.


Another Alaska carpetbagger dropping in for a few years to hijack the political system for a free ride back to his Ohio roots to join the wealthy family responsible for it all.  Alaskans blinded by the false ideology of oil, guns, military, and government hatred conned one more time.  Meanwhile, he and his fellow government haters gridlock the entire governing system to allow the Wall Street thieves to loot the nation while escaping any financial participation in the health and welfare of said nation.  Disgusting.


The rail question put to the voters is not what it is now.  Probably this Complete Streets is no different.  You point out 2006 and 2012.  That is years ago.  Can you honestly say that voters knew about these bulb-outs or at least knew what it encompassed?   I don't think so!  Oh, and pedestrian-friendly includes getting bicycles off sidewalks.  How is that working?


You said hyperbole aside and then end with " Next up is boxcars heading to the camps."

Be careful what you ask for B.C.  It only took the Alberta NDP two years to  destroy the economy that had previously been the envy of all other provinces.


If that's all you got out of my comment, then further discussion is likely pointless. But I'll try anyway. My point is that conflict is part of the human condition. Man will always be fighting over something. I realize it's politically correct and fashionable to blame white American males for everything that's wrong with the world, but that's just not the case. It's in every culture throughout history. Not excusing anything, just pointing out the facts.

And between now and 2036 hopefully Canada will elect a Trump to address this runaway train wreck. Unless of course everyone in this compliant complacent country is happy to have their children attend a gender segregated Public Madrasas with mandatory prayer 5 times per day.


Alaska insurance premiums for the self-employed are $1000/month. Colorado is $300. This is because the State of Alaska fought Obamacare and didn't take steps to reduce costs. The state allowed the high-risk pool to be rolled together with the self-employed pool without the money for the high-risk pool following the patients. This pull the full burden of high-risk care on the self-employed instead of distributing the load. I'm making plans to move to Colorado in the event that the ACA tax credits are removed.


Start with a stupid premise (Israeli Occupation of Palestine); End with a stupid conclusion (The problem is Caterpillars!  Yeah, that's it!...Oh, and knives kill people!)


People are afraid for their safety. Given the reports coming out of Europe of problems with refugees and the periodic terrorist attacks on American soil, it's not hard to see why. The political Left, including MSW, have chosen to respond to these fears by ridicule and moralizing. Has anybody in history ever decided to change their mind because they were ridiculed and preached to by strangers?

Maybe it's time to rethink your tactics.


Assisted suicide, the perfect blend of extreme individualism and collectivism.  The individual has the right to determine their own life, even when it means extinguishing that life.  And the State pays for it.  What next, primary school classes in how to exercise one's right to death?


Meaningless?  Exactly which part of 440,000 deaths vs. 30,000 deaths annually in the U.S are you failing to comprehend?


I earn $85 hourly for working online from home. I never thought that it's possible but my best friend is making $10000 every month working this job and she told me about it...........

Not just democrats, independents are watching too.  I voted for Trump with admittedly a bitter taste, he was better for me than Clinton though.  Admit it or not, he won by the independents, he will die by them.   Independents are watching this fiasco and it's highly concerning.  At this point, he would not get my vote again.  Independents are not celebrating the dismissal of the Paris Accord, it was in most part pretty important to them. He may not be involved in the investigation, he is interfering with the scope of the investigation that centers on others.   If the Republicans want to stay in office, they better right this ship before it hits another iceberg, less they are signing on to a big loss next go round.


Westlake is leading Nageak by 5 votes. It would be interesting to see how many votes Lisa Murkowski and Don Young got from Shungnak. If it is more than 5, well ....


Need a tissue? It's a bright shining day.At least give him a chance and bury your bias for a while!


Good point.  The proverbial Catch-22!


arack Obama was a principled?/ what are you one!! he was the opposite, no respect for thier constitutional law, no regard for anything anyone else had to say, always his way or nothing lecturing attitude of elitism, stirred up more trouble in the mid east only to stay away and let it get out of control, ignored so many laws on the books, turned federal agencie into political office departments like the IRS and doj, and the list goes on, wente, get over the fact trump won , all during the election you as  so many did constantly insulted and attacked him writing him off over and over, he won period this is just more of that cry baby nonsense you cant get past. and look at his last few weeks, nothing but personal bs policy decisions designed to try and keep anything of his failed work alive to stymie trump,


Almost reeks of the political corruption that took place in Sudbury at the provincial level in Ontario, the fix was in!


Canada has been trying for decades to diversify.  Look when you are next door to the largest consumer base in the world...well think about it.  Right next door! Think finding new markets and rejigging will be overnight.  Heck we can't even build a pipeline to sell oil to China out ourselves. Go on lamont, this is Canada.


Pooooooooooooooor Donald.

Maybe if he whines a little louder he'll get the respect he deserves.


This was good Tri, echoes JH's own standard retort.  "Translation"


Thank you for striving to do what is right for the State of Alaska in the face of such rank obstructionism Representative Josephson. Let's hope our fellow Alaskans are paying close attention to what is going down in Juneau and understand that the GOP super majority controlled Congress must be changed for any real solutions to our deficit crisis to happen.


What is your basis for claiming that evidence would have come out before the election? Why do you believe they had should have had evidence already? Do you understand that this is why we have investigations, to find if there is evidence? Could you imagine a homicide investigator giving up simply upon finding the body, and saying, well there's no evidence here right now so I guess there isn't a murder? Your argument holds no water.


The ban has the making of a domino effect on our economy. What will replace bento containers, take out orders , etc.  The fast food industries income will decline and workers let go. A paradoxical problem affecting our environment and economy without solutions or compromise to satisfy the population! Of this Bill, even the biblical Solomon himself would find himself in a quagmire .


Well the UN can always count on the patsie.


Matt,
  While you're correct that the US still has a larger economy in terms of GDP, their are many other ways to compare economies where China can be found to have already surpassed the US and other indicators suggest it will happen by 2018, not far off.


I didn't realize people had the time to research such things. Perhaps if you studied your catechism with the same vigor..............


Yes it's horrible,  a politician who keeps his promises.
Hmmmmm what lesson could Justin learn ?


I don`t bash all the  CBC, but this series is appalling.  Sit-coms are not their forte, as Little Mosque and Kim`s Convenience show.  Not a patch on Corner Gas.


Bears, and almost all other animals, eat what is available.


Yes, a few big cities did vote that way.  So you obviously believe only those living in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco should be eligible to vote leaving the rest of us Americans disenfranchised.  Obviously that lipstick is a balm to those urbanites so you are correct.


I cannot believe it. Another article with multiple comments talking about availability and affordability of housing with with no mention of the illegal rental business. In 1989, RULES were passed to deal with the resort activities that were destroying our residential communities. Our City Counsel refuses to pass TOOLS to enforce the laws. Bill 22 would add enforcement tools that would help to stop this illegal activity. 1000's of rental units would be available in a very short time. This law has been sitting the the Zoning Committee for 17 months with no action. Shame on our Council Members who allowing this. We will never solve our housing problems without enforcing our zoning laws. This would cost nothing to the County. It would cause some revenue loss of to the illegals and the business that  have grown to support them. Do we support unsustainable development, or as our Governor intends, do we support our kupuna, ourselves and our children. RULES without enforcement TOOLS = ANARCHY.


That just means she won California and New York. What's your point?


Thanks.
(The good news is, Rural has more married couples-which is good for children and more money too, good for the economy. Maybe a BA/BS is bad for American values and voters thinking processes, lol lol lol eh?!!!!)

If you believe this "report" from the lapdog Ombudsperson, don't forget to put a quarter or loonie under your pillow tonight for the tooth fairy.

This research was increasingly a pain in the neck (and nether regions) of the pharmaceutical companies which, purely by coincidence, happen to be significant donors to the BC Liberal party.

Still think that former Deputy Health Minister Whitmarsh initiated this purge all on his own without so much as a wink wink, nudge nudge from his Minister?  And what kind of gormless senior civil servant acquiesces in such a blatant political vendetta?


Didnt 45 retweet a fox story that used anonymous sources?

BTW G&M, how is one supposed to decide whether a comment is civil or not if it says '< this comment is undergoing moderation >?


Inevitably...even Canada's youth are waking up to the FACT lil'justin "is an empty suit". And even worse....a Traitor to Canada and ALL our Values as Canadians. When George Soro's is your best bud....Canadians have a problem.

At-grade rail was only feasible Ewa of Chinatown, by utilizing the OR&L right-of-way, closing side streets, grade-separating major thoroughfares, and fencing off the 40 ft. right-of-way. At-grade rail from central Honolulu to Ala Moana and later to UH Manoa would be a nightmare. Savings from low cost at-grade rail from just Ewa of Chinatown to Kapolei would have made a subway from downtown to Ala Moana feasible. However, the real purpose and need for this elevated rail system is to bolster tourism, our #1 export industry, not to provide Ewa residents an alternative means of transportation. Neither at-grade rail or a subway would satisfy that purpose. The only question remaining in order to complete this elevated system is "Who is going to pay for it?" The legislature and City Council have to bite the bullet and insist that the travel industry bear a portion of the burden. It is only fair as the GET tax is very regressive and hurts those less affluent the most.


O my freaken gawd...way better than the sack of cellulite stuffed in a $12000

You clearly forget that the Church (albeit slowly) provides corrections to previous teachings and has done so all throughout our history.  Those changes have always, always started with non-clerical movements within the Church.  How sad you do not know that, Rogue.


Well, this article is not about sex abuse victims or their pain.

If those of us who want to have a discussion about the article don't get it and never will, why are you interfering with it?

You, and they, are not the only ones who have undergone abuse. You never forget it, but you can go on with your life.

The level of irrational hatred, such that anyone and anybody is fair game, indicates what you need money won't solve.

The bishops, the Holy Father, and and so on are not going to jail, not now, not later.

If you want to remain sane and have a life, you need to figure out how to deal with that.


Good post, until your assumption about "the massive Canadian Public Service vote base."

Not sure WHAT the reason is for ignoring or refusing to initiate a system that works elsewhere.  Knowing government, I'd suggest there doesn't always NEED to be a reason.  They'll make decisions on the basis that, well, they can make a decision, so there.   Oops: another assumption!  Yeah, I know, it's easy to do...


If you are a driver on the road, then you are imperiling my safety as a cyclist. From my experience, the nicer the car, the more inconsiderate the driver and surprisingly, those expensive cars don't come with brakes because they never, ever slow down.


Only the most naive Canadians would believe Trump so-called 'tweak'. Everything from America is war, or war-like. Under Trump get ready for nukes.

As long as Canada let so much of its export go to the U.S. it will be subject to U.S. imposing the terms. NAFTA or not. In many ways, Trump exiting NAFTA will do a lot of long-term good for Canada. For sure there will be a whole lot of short-term pain as Congress or USTR imposes anything they feel like. But it is precisely this pain that will propel Canada to implement a more sound diversification strategy with urgency. Make us grow up.

There is however one naive thing Canada permits. And that is allowed unfettered U.S. investment and access to Canada. Buying up a whole lot of things.


So, even Courtview users are explicitly told that it's information may not be reliable, you rely on it.


I'm shocked at the demographics as well.


I think in Kahuku, the polynesians reign and the Native A. population is so small in Hawaii.


Don't be silly. Health-care is not free. In Ontario, businesses pay an employers health tax and individuals pay a health premium on their income tax. It's our money that is used to pay for our health-care. We pay for that coverage. It's not free.

Naw... Helen Nienhueser - after a life as a DNR bureaucrat, like the bill by Seaton & Foster, she completely ignores the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the Alaska Fiscal scene - it is BigOil & the horrendous, tho predicted results of SB21.
Seizing any part of the PFD is a tax on all Alaskans - & only Alaskans. Hands off the PFD,it is our royalty from the "held in common" property which the subsurface rights truly are.
#1 Return the oil/gas tax to something similar to ACES.
Also levy a state wide Sales Tax, so visitors, everyone, pays for their use of the state infrastructure. In places that already have a sales tax, well, those locations' budgets may just have to grow less.
A statewide Income Tax should be imposed, but in reasonable amounts- like what we had before.
Bottom line is: protect & preserve the PFD as is .... and -
Do not avoid the real battle, that of returning our take from natural resources to an ACES-like regime.

It’s practically un-American, but yeah, go ahead and ban fireworks completely, and while you’re at it, ban all fireworks sales too, but let’s be sure to have a vote to legalize it all again every year, just like we repeatedly voted on  SARC and on school levy issues.  Some people refuse to acknowledge when they’ve been overruled.  Some issues just  refuse to die.


NK has taken advantage of 1- US patience/donothing, and 2- US refusing to negotiate unless NK agreed first to give up its Nuclear Arms program. Both 1 and 2 just gave NK more time to develop weapons. Time is on NK's side to keep perfecting weaponry and eliminate fear of a US attack. To NK, Trump looks a lot like prior Presidents-- noise, no action, and bluffing about action like sending a Carrier to Korean region. US should have private talks with China on 1- Economic pressure, and 2- what we would expect from negotiations with NK on its Nuclear Program, and what we would give NK to get such an agreement--carrots to go with the stick (keep yalks secret and see if China can get an agreement to negotiate). China would need to convince NK that they should ignore Trump's tweets about China-- so China is credible in suggesting acceptable terms for negotiation, and let them know that China will impose tougher sanctions and support US sticks. but offer carrots with US after final agreement.


Government interference in student loans like interference in health care allows politicians to hand out favors with taxpayer money.  This also drives up higher education costs.  The Pell Grant is a good example of this.  It's free money courtesy of taxpayers to "deserving" college students.


Alceste disagrees.
Tell us Alceste, do you honestly believe that separating religion and school is Islamophobic?


Don who?


pertaining to the legality or illegality of Palestinian-Arab inhabitants to carry out acts of violence against the Israeli authorities: Israel is not an ``Occupying Power'' as determined by international law inter alia because the territories of Judea and Samaria were never a legitimate part of any Arab state, including the kingdom of Jordan. Consequently, those conventions dealing with the administration of occupied territory and an occupied population are not applicable to Israel's presence in Judea and Samaria.


If you think Khadrs fan club are going to let it go you're quite mistaken.

My rates remain the same while my copays and deductible go waaaaay up.

Thanks, Anthem


the difference between welfare and this school meal plan is that theses "parents" cannot steal food from their kids, because they're eating at school not at home.  So I'm all for this program, help is going direct to those children who need it.  It's hard, you want to help those who deserve it, but unsavory characters cheat the system ... but how do you sort them out?  And in the end, their kids go hungry


"I will not name examples but I will make it clear where I agree and disagree with anyone", said Cory the Worm.

He brags about being open and clear and then refused to clarify or give an example - in the same sentence!  Straight outta the how-to-spread-propaganda repub-Russian playbook.

Yeah, the Kochs have their boy alright.  Doing what he is told and wouldn't say $h!t if he had a mouthful.  Believe him at your peril, vote for him if you are brain dead.

It is a fallacious argument.  The nutrients remain behind when you take the wood.  Wood is primarily lignin and cellulose.  Very limited in nutrient content.  So limited as to be insignificant.


Open space is a civic improvement. It happens to limit growth, space being finite. I didn't mention the tax code, but the willingness, and ability, of the residents, to tax themselves for things like open space, which, incidentally, is used by people from a much wider area than Boulder itself (though some of them complain bitterly at being expected to pay to park, even though they pay no taxes here). If you like places with unrestricted growth policies, let me suggest Colorado Springs which has seemingly embraced the notion of expanding infinitely. Different parts of Colorado Springs, however, resemble each other in name only. There's no free lunch.


Straddler.


How about stopping payments to illegals first then you can go after you fellow veterans, which by the way most likely are not collecting that nice retirement pay as you do from being a colonel.   Remember veterans are the good guys they die for this country, others come here and leach off it.


The film industry is just another example of corporate welfare.

Majority of the funding comes from our taxes - Municipal, Provincial and Federal.

This is a poor use of taxpayer funding as the jobs are all short term.
At least auto industry welfare provides long term jobs, huge capital investment and multiplier effect of up to 20.

City hall is corrupt in their neighbourhood vote process to allow filming.


Tired of winning?


Why is the Democratic Party responsible? Protesting Trump is a logical action to take if you are against him, and why shouldn't Trump have to pay the city since he is the REASON for people protesting?

Trump supporters are too unorganized and lazy to go protest Democratic rallies. That is why you don't see large, organized protests at a Hilary or Bernie event. Trump is an open racist and has allowed and enabled closeted racists and bigots to spill from the levy and feel empowered in their hate speech.

We didn't want him here and he knew the territory he was coming to. EPD knew they didn't want their department in the national news for a failure to secure Trump.

I get the point you are trying to make, but logically, it falls through. Your logic is to bill protestors for protesting, which is unamerican and not very "Trump-like." These expenses are what happens when you have a powder-keg candidate. How about an apology from Trump supporters for bringing hell upon the people?


Very nicely put Tina. I'm sorry for your loss. RIP Brady.


Maybe and maybe not. It depends on what happens next in the whacky world of the Trump administration. The greenback will continue to weaken and the loonie go up against it unless something is done to instill confidence in the American economy and its currency.


When my liberal friends tell me how horrible a person Trump is, I say I understand how they feel, and then say, "so imagine how fed up the people of this country must be with the Clintons and Obamas, to elect such a person to sweep away all their corruption and incompetence."

When they object to my saying that, then I say, "hey, we elected Obama twice, so there goes the racism argument."


But the Germans killed a lot more Canadians than the Muslims. Over 200,000 Canadians were killed by the Germans in the last 100 years. Why no hatred towards them? Muslim terrorists have barely killed 20 Canadians. Another 70 by the Taliban.


Finally...won't be cringing....won't be embarrassed...no more BOWING from a US Potus!

Seems a bit low, but then again, I'm confident the man won't be able to post bail.  Just a hunch.  Even if he were to find a bondsman to consider posting bond for him, don't think he'll come up with the $8k to $10 that the bondsman will require.


Hierarchical capitalism is, to use another buzz word, the cult of the CEO, where big firms set both prices and wages according to their own market power rather than free competition with many buyers and sellers.  In a cooperative, no one has power and the system prizes equality over the tyranny of the CEO.  It is amazing how free Americans accept tyranny at work on a daily basis.


If you don't call the legislature and tell them to over ride the veto next year the will buy the building on 4th IT'S. THE PFD STUPID you got our attention YOUR ALL FIRED


Fresh thinking? You call that fresh thinking?  That's the kind of thinking that got us where we are today!  Man, there is no cure for stuck on stupid.  That disease is worse than rat lungworm.  Seriously.


Apparently the hard of thinking in Europe are also claiming that we will drive down their wages, steal their jobs, and slash benefits...

Meanwhile, back in the real world.


We always called them con-trails.    And they lasted minutes, maybe 20 minutes.

These new fangled SRM thangs sometimes last hours.


Does keeping America secure not prevent deterioration of US quality of life - as in WWII? As I said, homelessness is the "the result of extreme contraction not only of US job market but also income inequality because of US factories moving to China and other countries. (as) Higher wages from the manufacturing industry influenced wages in the service industry such that the almost stagnant and low wages would not and never exist if manufacturing jobs were prevalent."  Trump intends to re-negotiate our trade treaties to convert Free Trade into Fair Trade which would make companies that do not outsource competitive with companies that outsource.  The issues that Trump stands upon are - immigration, national security, foreign trade, veterans administration,  taxes, military strengthening and advocating America First in US foreign policy..


Good job, Cody.


Protecting your drinking water is not a "nutty left wing causes are a tragic waste of human potential". Mind if I come over and install a crude petroleum pump on your water line? Just for perspective, of course :)


The words lost and confused can be used to describe the politically appointed Hart members. Unqualified and inexperienced,
they continue to spend the tax payers money like it's their own piggy bank. Cant believe a word that they say after all, they are all
Kirk Caldwell's cronies who owe him for their high paying cushy jobs at one time or another. After the current Hart Board members resign, more will be
appointed and we can start the fiasco all over again with new ideas and plans. The only funding issue for the rail should be the cost of knocking it down. A federal investigation should be undertaken to follow the money trail and to expose the incompetence and corruption
of the Caldwell administration.


No, they do not. The article clearly says several times that the numbers do not prove anything. This is what happens when you already have an uninformed opinion. You close what passes for your mind and ignore all evidence to the contrary. It's called confirmation bias, and you've got it bad.

"Colorado transportation and public safety officials, however, say the rising number of pot-related traffic fatalities cannot be definitively linked to legalized marijuana."

"Pointing to a number of different studies, the industry counters that the data is imprecise and does not definitively link fatal crashes to marijuana use."

"Law enforcement officials, prosecutors and public policy makers concede there’s still too little information about marijuana and how it’s detected to understand just how much the drug is affecting traffic fatalities."


Really, R.D?  Do you have any actual evidence to back up your assertion or is it something you read at Breitbart.com?


Let's face it, those are not your causes.  There is nothing "civil" or "respectful" about the establishment.  It's all about power.  They will do whatever it takes to remain in power.  Just look at the way they treated Bernie.  That should give you a clue as to what it's all about.  Nobody can argue that his treatment was legitimate, but I would challenge you to explain to me how your treatment of Trump is any different.  Would you accuse Bernie of the same things as Trump?  No?  Then how can you explain Bernie's treatment?

Trump deserved to win.  The DNC has some VERY serious problems.  The party has learned nothing from this election.  They have gone all-in on stupid in an effort to avoid reality.  The truth is that Americans are tired and fed up from all the bullshit.   The proof is that they voted for Trump.  Seriously, what more evidence do you need?  A kick in the ass?  A slap in the face?  What would it take for you to realize that you've made some serious mistakes?


TD,  I looked it up and reviewed both pro and con sides of this issue and there is a plausible basis for your claim.  The one study arriving at 5,000,000 is controversial but it is clear, illegal aliens are voting illegally.  Hey, is that a double negative?


John:  I do NOT need to know these types of people, NOR would I EVER have any association with these types of LOSERS.  I read all about them in the News and Police Reports.

Look at Trump's new infrastructure spending plan-- it no long provides large Federal grants. It puts the responsibility on states and private development to build infrastructure projects like the Rail. The Federal government will help with obtaining financing and States and municipality's will use their borrowing power to provide, obtain, or support private financing and management of the project. The Chinese have said they are interested in US infrastructure projects (and they are in the process of cutting deals now)-- with Chinese ownership of land at Kapolei and Ko'olina-- they might be interested. We sell or finance the project at a discount and get it done. Bank of Hawaii and First Hawaiian have expressed interest in financing the rail on this basis, so get them involved. Get rail done and give up the upside to private developers and sell the land the City has acquired by eminent domain to developers as part of their share of the deal.

Nope, just calling it like I see it...just a typical, cheap hit piece by the author.


To intentionally damage property is criminal mischief and if it was multiple TV's that were destroyed, it was likely felony level.  The choice of some to damage others because of a likely unintended "misbehavior" or general lack of respect for them is the likely the root of virtually all criminal behavior.

Answer to your question is who is the current POTUS?  You Chumpsters never fail to amaze me with your stupid questions.


Alaska did not "punish" those in the Senate who did not address the fiscal crisis last year.  Coghill was returned to the Senate.  And he helped dig the fiscal hole we are in the last, what, 17 years.  He was part of the oil-tax-giveaway bill SB 21 and in the mid-2000s he was among the people who accepted Veco money. Yet he was returned!


"Vancouver’s mayor says the city’s rental strategy, billed as the first of its kind in Canada, will lock in lower rents in line with what people actually earn, reports Frances Bula".

What?

Pushing prices to be in line with what people actually earn locally?

Why is the Mayor not pushing the levels of government above him to make that the case for buying a house, as well?

Levels of government above him, with his cooperation, have the power to do that, it is as easy as implementing a two-tiered property tax, where one tier is lower tax (people who now work at jobs locally or else who have worked at jobs elsewhere in Canada more than ten years, with federal income tax receipts to prove it) and the other tier is extremely high property tax (20 percent the value of the property per year) which goes to everybody else (example, the multimillionaire businessman whose job is not in Canada and who just bought his Canadian passport two months ago through the Quebec Investor Immigrant scheme).

“He’s a 7-footer who is versatile, more of a combo ‘4’ who can dribble and shoot the ball,” Flo Hartenstein said. “Similar to Dirk Nowitzki, maybe more athletic.”

Flo Hartenstein is similar to LaVar Ball, maybe not quite as much of a braggart. Comparing your son to a Hall of Famer, and especially claiming he is maybe more athletic, is just silly.


Some might argue that it would be easier to trust an opinion piece by the CEO of GCI if we weren't paying 100% more for their internet service in Alaska than in any other rural state in the US. Some might argue the former governor is not correct to say an "economic meltdown is about to happen" -many of us believe it already did when oil prices plunged and brought the folly of state spending levels into view.

Some folks deeply dislike the petro industry incentives here - but Alaskans did this in the hopes of protecting the jobs and families of thousands of people as production declined. It's results are yet to be determined.

The impasse in our legislature very clearly - and very fairly - reflects the divisions amongst our residents. The past legislatures, governors, boroughs, statewide education and HSS advocates, have managed to ask for and spend billions for years without ever asking us if it was okay. The current legislature is merely reflecting the price tag of that extravagance.


The way I read it makes me believe the law was broken: I think we need and deserve an answer from the chief prosecutor. I too, am enraged about the way state and some local governments are being run. It is one thing to lose a political fight fair and square; it is another thing entirely to have cheating going on. Again, I believe the live was crossed, and I think she knows it, which is why she avoided answering the reporter when asked.

The so called "Long Tom Rebellion" was nothing more than a local Confederate supporter shooting off his mouth in support of Jefferson Davis in pro-Union Eugene.  The dude was arrested and his friends threatened violence to get him released.  Which he was because he was doing nothing more than exercising his right of free speech.

Oregon's Senator Baker and Union Colonel was killed at the battle of Ball's Bluff.  While Governor Whiteaker may not have been in support of sending troops east, they were hardly needed since the War Department planned for the Oregon Volunteer regiments of cavalry and infantry to replace the regular army Soldiers in Oregon and defend the state from foreign and domestic enemies.  And there was no problem getting Oregonians to serve in the regiments.

Oregon becoming a pro-slave state was never a real possibility, again more current hyper-ventilation by academics.


Take the money and run. I am with CarpaDM!

Money talks, and Americans by majority are voicing their displeasure.


FYI.  Trump is polling with blacks higher for any GOP candidate since 1960.   Better re-work your bias.


I have lived through the Ontario Liberals  and seen my Provence flushed away into horrific debt.
My confidence in the left wing  establishment is gone period.I get Trump and Nigel Faragefull. I  fully  support their platform.!!!!
Yes the dead boy on  the beach and the false accusations  that it was Harper's fault was most definitely a defining moment for ALLLLL CONSERVATIVES


Many here are howling for blood, but the case itself does not have much evidence that this was anything more than a moment of carelessness with out-sized consequences.


It would help considerably if they wouldn't come here just to brag about “how real” it is back home and imply or outright state we're just a bunch of passive-aggressive weanies.

Maybe we native Pacific Northwesters have evolved to the point where we don't feel we have to be the center of attention, or to impress anyone, or to punctuate our interpersonal lives with arrogant demeanors or violent gestures and tones. The influx has become a raucous beauty pageant of people who will wear hundreds of dollars of petrochemicals while cutting checks to save the forests, who would scurry past the street kid getting beaten by three of his peers yet be ready to throw down the moment they think you deliberately scratched the paint on their Beemer.

It's remarkably self-deluded, to be able to respect yourself and feel you are the vanguard for cultural and economic progress and be such a person.


Correct. May I add, politics AND greed?


it is called that we have a need in north america and now we are in the position to end those companies bringing in that oil becoming north america self sufficient where prior we could not. it is time to end sending the billions a year to countries that do not practice basic human rights in the mid east. that does not mean those firms are unethical.


And Mr. President Jim Johnson places 6th to 4th on the list of teams. Depending on how well he cuts off 60 kids in the MIDDLE of their education, he could earn his $75,000 bonus on his $325,000 salary.

What other teerrriibblleee hardships are the top executives of UAA going through these days that doesn't get passed on to the little people?

As for permanent membership expansion, once it gets beyond say 10, the effectiveness would dissolve.

Canada would be in line though, behind Brazil, India, Japan,Nigeria, Indonesia, Germany, Mexico, Pakistan, Iran, Mexico, South Korea......and many others that have population (all), economy size (nearly all, and or geography (Nigeria, Egypt, South Africa)


So fire the next POC bringing 'crackers' to a company event.


Par for the republican course. Trump is avoiding the American news media and keeping who goes to the white house a secret. The Russians are allowed into the oval office with Ivan the KGB photographer, but American press is not allowed. Trump refuses to divulge what was discussed but his Russian boss offers to give Americans some tweaked take aways from Trump sucking up to him


I appreciate the information.
Where do you take your MS to receive routine maintenance? Does Tesla contract with local shops? What's routine maintenance involve? Battery check-up? Lubrication? Tires? Brakes?
I assume you don't need oil changes or radiator fluid checks :-)


A new ombudsman! Sounds like she takes her job very seriously. We are lucky to have in this state a investigative unit independent of the State departments.
It is really hard to believe that correctional officers would be cruel enough or lazy enough to impose, without authority, acts of violence that are cruel and unusual!
I am sure being a prison guard is one of the most dangerous jobs to have. The job stress must tremendous but I would have thought that pre-hire security and background tests have been provided. For the prisoner guards who don't care, they need to pursue a new career.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he had evidence linking him to previous murders from his bloody clothes and external injuries.

Alaska needs the death penalty.  This poor family will only get partial justice without it.


Wonderful!


I am always amazed that people continue not to grasp the idea that unpopular and, yes, even hate speech or "racist" rhetoric are exempt from criminal prosecution by a government entity. That does not mean people have to like it. That does not mean private industry or consumers can choose to go elsewhere for goods and services.  We are not really "free" to engage in offensive speech. Rather, the government is enjoined from prohibiting it.


The best reply to an activist who proclaims that the cultural appropriation debate is over is...

Stop! Read this: http://www.tmoamerica.org/news/560-sc-ruling-626/ This is an article on the website of The Muslims of America, the group Mr and Mrs. Jones are a part of. The article describes the "darkest day in human history." Know what day that is? The day the Supreme Court ruled that gays have the right to marry. Go read this. It's a short article. Why is it okay for The Muslims of America to say these things about gays, but we can't question Muslims, forming their little enclaves, flying planes into buildings, murdering people at Christmas parties and advocating not only that we stand up against gay marriage, but stand up against anyone who doesn't stand up against gay marriage? You people are horribly naive.


I can't believe these people are so clueless.  Who would aspire to speak like our President?  I definitely will not EVER vote for either of them.


And Trump was clearly the more evil.


Nice to see the tyrant handled easy.  Good job Cal.


If the sweet little kiddie-poos at St. Mike's are old enough to go to university, then they're old enough to deal with criticism, just or unjust, by themselves.


You're using debunked points. You realize that, right? Get off the fox train and read someone reputable. Oh wait, that won't align with your views, will it? Do you know that the Texan elector was threatened after he said he could not vote for t-rump? That wasn't on fox, breitbart or drudge? Go figure.  Please enlighten me on how Obama's presidency was a regime? I'll wait. Meanwhile, billionaires are in t-rump's cabinet. They'll surely look out for the common man.


Exactly!  When Jesus told parables was he pointing towards moral conclusions rather than historical ones.

There should some kind of educational standard for people to become state representatives. Yeah... Lets not help enforce the law  and let non citizens stay here illegally.... WTH!!!! Girl is Lolo!!!


Republican logic: Abortion - ban it! Immigration - stronger laws! Gun control - well you know, criminals will always find a way, so why pass any legislation?


Drunk driving seems like the go too culprit in any situation were alcohol is involved. It makes the investigation easy, if there are survivers just blood sample them and the state picks up $10,000. They could have .01% bac and still get a duii. Also, people have different tolerences. A veteran drinker might operate just fine at .12%bac.

I'm not saying I support drinking and driving, quite the opposite. It's just holding police and investigators accountable for there comments to the news before the investigation or toxicology results are in.


So, based on your last statement, you have left out the fact that if a student were to shout out to a professor, he/she will run the risk of being removed/suspended/expelled just the same.
So, you have presented an invalid statement.


I'm in favor of having money management taught in school, I just don't think that will make much difference in the number of people who are homeless. I think poor people are often better money managers than the middle class, because we have to be. I haven't noticed that educated, middle-class people are particularly good money managers. Too many are living at the limits of their income, not saving, and running up a lot of credit card debt. They're getting out of college with tens of thousands of dollars of student loan debt.

In the mid 1990s I read "Your Money or Your Life" and used their system to get my expenses down. I also got rid of my car, which was costing me around $100 a month to keep on the road. That allowed me to save some money to help when I was unemployed, because unemployment is not enough to live on.

The main problem for poor people is that often we have no good choices. Low wages and high rents are killing us.

Right on the money Ms. Stock. Thanks for writing this excellent expose of just how much in denial our Congressional delegation is because of all the campaign financing they get from the oil industry. I'm glad you're running against Lisa because I am so tired of the obfuscation and lawyerly double speak she uses to excuse her inexcusable fealty to the Republican party over what is best for the nation. Time for a change Alaska on the state and national level and here's just the Independent candidate to get that done. If all the Dems and Indys who wrote in Lisa's name expecting her to be less under the thrall of the obstructionist McConnell than she turned out to be, this time vote for Ms. Stock so we can have a new Senator not bound to corporate interests or the demands of the Democratic or Republican party. Let's give her a chance to change the gridlock in DC that has resulted in Congress having lower approval than bedbugs.


In England? You guys always want to play the victim. Their alt-right is getting roundly dispatched as they pushed for Britain exiting the EU and England is going into a recession. Too cute.


Forensic audit is only a bad idea if you have something to hide.....


Looks like old goatie has a stick up his keyster. HAHAHA!


As usual, Shapiro is clueless.  It's the Feds that are on the hook. And they will make the call on all aspects of the project. All these know nothing's calling for a halt at middle street, running will sat grade through downtown or most ludicrous of all converting now to mag lev are simply ignorant of the process. the Feds will approve only the original proposal to run to Ala Moans with steel wheel on steel technology on an elevated system. Give it up.


“I do think we owe President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee the hearing and the vote that Merrick Garland never received,” said Sen. Chris Coons D-Del."

No, they don't.  There is too much at stake; it's a generational issue and the SCOTUS appointment shouldn't be made by Steve Bannon.


I believe this principle should be applied to the entire planet and it should have a military to defend itself from our abusive disrespect.


Sucking us all dry by paying for state government for the last 40 years and creating the Permanent fund. Wow.  The state pissed all the money away, they could have easily had $100 Billion in there


Agree   Else outside island legislators should abstain on this rail issue.


I am sure the pre-election goodies will roll fast and furious through that west Kelowna riding.

I believe the BC Liberals have already promised another bridge crossing, despite the new Bennett  Bridge being built only a few years ago.  But no talk  whatsoever of the second crossing being a tolled bridge - not when it directly affects Ms. Clark's riding. Even though new construction will probably be a private/public partnership like the Bennett, and all the recent metro Vancouver Bridges. And of course new bridges in metro Vancouver are always tolled.


He looks so old and spent.


You mean the Government imposed 'right to work for less' legislation.


How is this possible? Two whole years? With a much vaunted liberal in power the entire time as well.

I'm pretty sure I recall Barry O saying he was going to have 'the most transparent administration ever.'


Free speech, huh?

Last Friday I posted something humorous that absolutely contained no profanity, or direct attack on anyone, most noticeably the columnist (who many posters believe or recognize as an opposite of Ms Wente). The post by all objective standards adhered to G&M policy

When I returned a day later to the G&M, I noticed there was no record of the post in my personal comments list, however it appeared in the of comments attached to the article (it received only 'agreed' or 'funny' ratings)

However, when I signed out, and looked at the comments, my post 'had been removed because it did not adhere to G&M community standards'

I repeated the login/out process to confirm the deception, and subsequently removed my post

It's not just universities who cannot abide by free speech, but insecure, thin skinned op-ed writers it seems

Ms. Wente deserves a round of applause for generally allowing all comments on her writing, regardless if you agree with her or not.


Agreed, not even carp :)


I doubt that you are correct.  The last time this story ran, Commissioner Bozievich was very nuanced about who was being released.  I believe his phrase was   “No Measure 11 violent offenders were released due to jail capacity constraints in 2015, he said."   That leaves quite a few other Measure 11 mandatory sentencing crimes where the offenders weren't "violent" as well as serious crimes that aren't mandatory sentencing crimes.


A moron is someone who lobbies that Hong Kong should be able to vote on how Canada is run.


Not a really appropriate response, given the severity of this... but I just keep on thinking of that one Dr. House episode where he has to diagnose that one scientist stuck in Antarctica: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frozen_(House)

Seriously, though, godspeed to all involved.


Dude, you really have to ease up on the pipe man....


That doesn't explain Eric Harris- born in Wichita, Kansas; Dylan Klebold- born in Lakewood , Colorado; Chris Harper-Mercer- born in L.A.; Timothy McVeigh- born in Lockport, NY;  Adam Lanza born in Kingston, NH; and Jared Loughner born in Tucson, AZ


This is funny coming from the Globe's resident racist.  Fire this useless writer now Globe and save your credibility.


Certainly not lowering myself to voting for Hillary -- not that Trump has secured my vote either.


I have a source Gary - and it is based on the same methods we govern the country, there is no difference whatsoever. Marrying Homosexuals is a law of the land, but is not part of the Christian Church that Christ said he was building in Mathew 16:18. Homosexuality is clearly condemned numerous times in the Bible, and what is most shocking to me is the fact you refuse to accept this document (the Bible) as the governing principle in the Christian Church, I have even conceded that any other "Church" can marry whoever they please under the laws of the land, just don't refer to it as the Church of Jesus Christ. It is clear you do not like it, that is fine, but don't claim to be an authority on the Christian Church or Biblical Doctrine on this matter, you are not.

The next thing you know, the SJWs will insist that Scarborough cover up its Paul Bernardo statute.  We need to push back against political correctness.  Bernardo and Cornwallis are part of Canadian history, and should be embraced as such.


Nice new TV, a cable receiver box, remotes on the tray and a new iPhone on the chair, an espresso machine on the counter, padded case for a laptop computer on top of the closet unit. $16 a month rent is 1/3 of Mr. Fernandez's monthly income. Really? That's a lot of electronics purchased with the $32 left over after paying his rent for the month. I need to visit Anchorage more often, you must have some amazing shopping deals!


"...a records search on Pirate at the time (October 2015) revealed numerous convictions for sexual assaults out of California and New Mexico."

That means that numerous investigators, district attorneys, and judges failed to protect the public. How many sexual assaults could have been prevented if just one of those DAs had pushed for the maximum sentence possible and refused to let him plea bargain out? Or if just one judge had handed down the heaviest possible sentence?


Nope it was never declared over.


If you're asking if I'm a theologian, the answer is no.  However, I don't think that only theologians or philosophers can distinguish between theology and nonsense.


There was a "golden age" of the Moors in Spain, yes, but it didn't last. By the 11th century, the Almoravids and the Almohads had destroyed it, and the Jews and Christians were forced to convert or emigrate.

The Spanish and the Portuguese were particularly violent conquerors, yes, but they also were reacting to the previous Moorish conquest. It was a time of conquests back and forth, with civilisations basing their identities on religion, a bad idea that transformed ordinary conquest into religious wars.

The overseas colonial conquests started...The Christians killed more because they had access to more overseas territory,if the Muslims had gotten there first, it would probably have been them.

The new movie Silence depicts another religious conflict, this time the Japanese reaction to Christian missionaries, and that turned bloody too. The Japanese were not welcoming of new religions...


Become part of the wider Canadian culture or break away.  Nothing else will ever bring about long lasting changes everyone needs.


People "driving expensive cars are less empathetic to others"? I'd love to see this 'study' subjected to some peer-review.


...."So when are these given times when we are able to comprehend the degree of truth we are capable of?"....

Even the Child Jesus, according to Luke, "grew in wisdom and grace"

So should we all.

I, as an individual, seem to keep learning more as I grow and study and learn. The whole world has more knowledge available every day. So does the Church. Hopefully every day we are capable of understanding and knowing more every day of our lives.

If not, we are probably dead.

So every day is a precious "given time" for the Holy Spirit to lead us to a greater appreciation of what is the fullness of truth.

At least that's what I find, the longer I live.


In these cases, there may be very little the government can do.

It's the unfortunate reality of the world we live in today.


Well said Mr. Bielefeld.
We'd like to believe Mr. Smith's letter was tongue-in-cheek, but we doubt it.  There really is a movement afoot to give up on democracy and replace it with some sort of passionate Strong Man, a recurring theme in World History.
There are different types of leadership called for at different times.  Gen. Patton may have been  the man for the job in spearheading a mad dash across Germany, breaking some rules to break the enemy.  But no one considered  him fit for the  presidency  after the war.
On the other hand Gen. Eisenhower, for better or for worse, was viewed as a strong but moderate leader who could successfully operate large bureaucracies.  And as president he warned us of the danger of the military-industrial complex.
Who remembers that today?

strange how theres no Wikileaks about trump huh. now that Assange in in bed with the russians its all about clinton. well what would it matter, how could any information on trump get any worse than when he opens his mouth.


@diverdave, it was a pleasure discussing politics with you.  I see both of our comments are being rejected for incivility, which seems irrational to me.  There's not much sense sending messages to the bit bucket.  All the best.


Donkeys blow


so you dont use oil? no gasoline? no plastic? man you ignorant losers are pathetic


Just wow


I am hopeful too. The Australian church is heavily lay run with flourishing schools. One out of every five Catholics goes to a Catholic school. Their secondary schools are excellent and their new Catholic University -- Notre Dame -- is growing,  with nearly 20 thousand students at their main campus and satellite sites. However, the bishops, most of them, are  real losers, a sad bunch; but I doubt Australia will allow them to lose anymore, short of running them out of town. Sadly, none of these bishops have been put in jail.


pr3, I'd be very interested to see examples that refute axel53's comment. In every violent protest situation I've seen or read about over the last couple of decades, it has been the left causing damage and/or injury. There are a multitude of examples on the side, none I can think of on the other.

This is a particularly bad idea in the era of Google and other people-search utilities, where almost anyone's physical address is available.  Anyone who posts on open forums using their full real name is putting themself in real danger.  I speak from experience.

Also, many millions of people do not participate on Facebook or any other social media where identification is required or automatic.


Too bad most people can't just sit back and have a laugh.  He isn't going to change and nothing anyone can say or do will change his behavior.  He's doing what he said he'd do when he campaigned. Accept the twitter nonsense and relax.


Except, when judging legislation or enacted law, intent has always been considered.

Did you forget that many rulings hinge on legislative intent and not the language recorded?

The rulings on intent are not new.


Neither Christ nor the apostles nor the early Christian movement required elaborate vestments to celebrate the miracle of the Eucharist. It's primarily an innovation of the Middle Ages. Like any tradition, it's subject to reform and change. We must avoid divinizing human tradition; such is a form of idolatry. Personally, I prefer simple vestments during ordinary time and daily masses, reserving the more elaborate dress for high masses especially Christmas and Easter. I think it adds to the significance of those feasts when there's a factor of foreignness to it.


For the record, my child tax credit proposal was based on Casti, not Marx, and has been for at least 30 years. The sexual ethics of Casti are quaint, but the economic justice part rings true.

"Mr. Broadbent and his supporters clearly believe PR would benefit the NDP. But would it benefit Canadians? That’s the question we need to ask."

In my opinion, it would certainly not be in the best interests of Canadians.


You pay rent, therefore your not eligible to vote due to your lack of ownership. You skip out... the owner still pays. He's on the hook, not you. If the rental unit is unoccupied.... here's the surprise to you...,owner still pays taxes.


Absolutely, Pan-Man. eating is kind of necessary. But note what I said above. If it is *labeled*, which I would DEMAND, and said GMO, I wouldn't touch it. Unfortunately, the Big Ag corporations have their hands in the pockets of too many of our so-called 'representatives' and call the shots when it comes to labeling what's in our food. Witness what happened concerning labeling in Washington state.


Okie doke.


Nothing more then the political correct sensitivity culture of cupcakes having a tantrum. I noticed at least one uneducated moron had to use the racist card to describe Faye Stewart.


correct, most lawyers are just executing "administrative" tasks not worth more than 50 dollars per hour. It is an industry, keeping themselves in business, often no added value to society. ( exception are there, often in criminal court)


What polls are you referring to? Trump is plus 1 on Clinton according to Rasmussen Reports. And your claim that he only leads in only one state, is beyond ridiculous.

Sympathy to all who loved this man, it feels like we have failed him. How long did he fight his demons, was he ill with no medical treatment or maybe he was man who could not deal with the pressure  of this life.

Haha....as soon as we hold GW Bush accountable for the far more emails he erased.


Trump's faith? That's a good one! Trump and his attaches are a bunch of self-absorbed sinners.


Ive not been surprised by some of the broken promises by the Liberals; they are, after all, an establishment party that plays by the "old school" rules.  I don't buy the line that they couldn't find consensus.  Consensus would have been impossible; their job, if they had meant it seriously, was to look at existing models and propose the one that seemed the best fit for Canada.  And while I haven't been surprised, I've been disappointed nonetheless.


"The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy."

- Donald J. Trump

But it's "genius" when your Presidential candidate loses the popular vote by a few million votes, I guess.


Explains nothing.
That insults many Canadians, to assume they vote the same federally as provincially.


Motley, No disagreement from me but one has to continue on to the end of the historical figure's life.  Stopping in 1858 and saying Lincoln's views never changed or as I believe, continued moving the nation closer to what his real beliefs and views of slavery and race relations were is like saying whites today in Oregon still believe what whites did in 1858.  Words are important but actions are even more so.


Why is Trudeau taking so long to get started on everything.


Thanks for your perspective, Mrs. Duncan.


That's where your train leaves the tracks, Todd. Existing laws are NOT sufficient to deal with the issue.

The reason your wife has been harassed, stopped, and questioned about her guide dog is (probably) because of the proliferation of phony service dogs! I would guess that she did not experience this before the ADA (if her history goes back that far). If we can correct the deficiencies in this law I believe your wife will receive less harassment.
