University of Michigan environmental scientist Rosina Bierbaum: “The U.S. is well behind other countries in having the cleanest and most sustainable environment.”

The U.S. emits more carbon dioxide than any other nation except China. In 2014, the U.S. spewed 237 times more carbon dioxide into the air than Sweden, according to figures by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

The U.S. is No. 2 in per person carbon dioxide pollution, behind Luxembourg, among 35 developed nations plus China, India and Brazil, Energy Department data show. That’s 19.1 tons (17.3 metric tons) of carbon dioxide per year for the average American, compared with 4.9 tons (4.5 metric tons) for the average Swede.

The U.S. ranks tenth highest in carbon pollution per gross domestic product according to the International Energy Agency. The U.S. spews almost five times more carbon dioxide per dollar in the economy than Sweden.

William K. Reilly, former EPA head, says Trump is "just wrong."


Using a holiday for a Trump hit piece. Whatever works. Try the sun coming up tomorrow.


I'm curious which of the following definitions this article's author had in mind when using the word "screed":

a :  a lengthy discourse
b :  an informal piece of writing (such as a personal letter)
c :  a ranting piece of writing


A juggler, no matter how skilled can keep only a limited number of balls in the air. Add one more and there is a chain reaction and they all fall. Zuma has reached that limit. His government by criminal chaos is about to collapse.


And what does any of that have to do with the travel ban. Also, as Americans start paying more for consumer goods and inflation rises, likely resulting in the Fed raising rates, who do you think will suffer? A few jobs at the expense of tilting the economy into recession, is it worth it? Also, as other countries impose their own version of protectionist measures against American exports, what do you think will happen to American jobs in export industries?


MoveOn: Sean Spicer said so, but neither Spicer nor his boss appear to have knowledge about the security clearance process. Trump hired the Russian's American BFF...


I would avoid Banff like the plague this summer. It's already a crowded nightmare but with this pass it is going to be a complete gong show.


Both of the things you imply were false, are actually true.

Trump is not presidential when compared to a middle schooler.

More natural gas and nuclear; replace aging coal plants with something cleaner.


Your comment makes no sense Uber-baby. If you don't remember the common people that you meet in your common life it actually sounds like your own memory is faulty or you are lacking social skills. There are remedies for your malaise. Being an uber troll isn't one of them.

We're talking at the State level. No need to elevate.


"Some environmental groups are urging governments to adopt aggressive regulations that would require half the vehicles sold in 2025 to be zero emission, a goal the auto industry rejects as wildly optimistic." These are probably the same ones who said we could switch to windfarms

Why can't the governor be honest? The PFD won't go away absent incredibly negligent management by the PFD corp. Yes we could see years where the fund realized no real returns and hence would not have a pay out of those returns but that would in no way end the fund as implied. What would rob the fund is just that. The best way to actually end the PFD is to allow outside hands to start taking it for their own purposes. Gov. Walker knows all of this and chooses to dishonestly paint it in the exact opposite terms and that makes him a very dishonest politician and man (surprise, surprise).

If you're going to be a thief at least own it. Dishonesty fractures your soul.

You Trump fans have projected all of your fantasies upon him, and think that he's some kind of Santa Claus that's going to shower you with goodies and presents.
Boy, are you going to be disappointed...


From the facts presented, it does not appear the plea-bargain in this case provided justice to either the victims' family or the community.  "Temper justice with mercy" presumes a court first has a clear idea of what is just (especially in so heinous a case).


another very valid reason not to further hinder law abiding citizens from having the means to defend themselves, their families, loved ones and friends, and others against such hurtful attacks under the 2nd amendment.  the attackers never follow the laws.  therefore, the laws never apply to the attacker.  the laws only apply to those who conscientiously abide by the law.  therefore, in effect, modifying the 2nd amendment, or stopping sane, sensible, and honest citizens from being able to immediately defend themselves only hurts the innocent - not the criminals or unstable persons.  where is the logic in that?


The high cost of electricity in Ontario is the result of the McGuinty green dream. Smart Meters and their TOU rates, coupled with the delusional notion of "paying the true cost for electricity" were used to facilitate the McGuinty green dream.

Smart meters and their TOU rates allowed the government to jack up electricity rates in order to have consumers directly subsidize the high cost of wind and solar projects in the Province.

Take away wind and solar and the true cost to produce electricity in Ontario remains below 3 cents per KwH, as it has for over a decade. Take away wind, solar and TOU rates and Ontarians should be paying between 4.5 and 6.0 cents per KwH for electricity.


Really? The hydro reduction is temporary and will cost taxpayers millions. We have a carbon tax in Ontario, which we will all be paying for.


So you admit that you don't actually READ the articles, but you comment on them anyway?
Really?
That is truly amazing...


"Thankfully Obama is working on important things like this, and leaving $20 trillion in debt and 2 wars for the next President to figure out."

Here we have a quote from below with lots of likes. Out of context it would be easy to think that the president did something extraordinary to warrant such a comment but what was the offense? Merely signing into law a bill that passed both houses UNANIMOUSLY. What's a President to do to satisfy the idiotcracy? I swear to heaven the collective horsepower of the majority of posters on this thread wouldn't motate a Moped.


That you, hater of all things American made obvious in your daily anti-USA posts, would even pretend to have some semblance of respect for Memorial Day is laughable. It's clear that what most upsets you is having your hypocrisy called out.


At minimum it's called poor journalism and at the the most it is irresponsible. In this case ADN forgets that people turn to their paper for news and information, this information ancak had to go find themselves is just as available to ADN and should have been included in the article. ADN will cower and find every reason in the book not to claim they have a responsibility to provide clear and accurate news.


Good then they will lose more money. I will watch WKRP on HULU instead.


The meal you speak of was not the Eucharist. John's Gospel tells us Judas left after Jesus dipped the morsel of bread. The other Gospels indicate the Eucharist was instituted "when supper was ended."

When you have to defend Communion for mortal sinners with "Judas did it too!", you don't have a winning argument.


I will believe this pope when he sends back Cardinal Bernard Law to face justice. As the Archbishop of the Boston Diocese, Law was the top dog in sheltering abusive priests. He has likewise been sheltered by this pope and his two predecessors since he fled to the Vatican. In fact, he was given even more power in Rome, and kept his Cardinal appointment. Meanwhile, the faithful have born the brunt of the retribution, seeing their parishes dissolved and sold off to pay compensation to the victims. The popes', bishops', and priests' victims, not theirs.

So far, Pope Francis has not walked the talk. And he's had plenty of time. Until and unless he does, this is just more papal obfuscation, just more moral bankruptcy.


Searchers are almost exclusively volunteers. Historically in Lane County one paid deputy (salaried) managed volunteers who contribute thousands of hours annually and enjoy the work and the opportunity to help people. Quite a force multiplier.
Regarding helicopter use, often these missions are used to log training time for national guard crews. On rare occasion private parties pay for helicopter time (James Kim search years back in southern Oregon)
Also, if a person had to pay for search and rescue services it could very likely delay calls for service and result in (1) more serious injury to the subjects or (2) deaths.
The individuals in this case seem to have been prepared.
CleanupEugene, please exercise some humility and have a bit of grace for others. Also, if you are truly concerned with budgets there are a number of organizations you could volunteer with to help this or any other cause. Serving others is as beneficial to the servant as well as the served.


"The idea this comment was not "civil" is absolute bunk. This is censorship pure and simple, for the simple-mined."

Of course, you are right.  But the truth hurts for the gun enthusiasts.

I can still see my comment in the thread, even though it shows a "rejected" label on my own list of comments.

Can you see it?


I have read the book by John Perkins. Have you read his other book, "The Secret History of the American Empire....?"


100 dollars an hour is a bit rich for an ABAP programmer.  But hey,  I heard stories at my company that we hired one here during our SAP implementation days for well over $3k a day.


Actually, this is a cost-saving solution. It costs the tax-payers less. See Switzerland example. And Switzerland even goes one step further - they provide the addicts with the heroin, too! Why? Because addicts spend all their time doing crime and prostitution to pay for their addictions. When the government provides addicts with small doses of pure heroin, not only does this take money away from drug cartels, and ensure users are getting clean drugs, but it means they have just enough in their system to function and stave off withdrawal and can focus on keeping a job and housing. In other words, they become functioning members of society. It's win-win.


This is what happens when you keep putting off building. Seattle could have had 100 miles of subways for $700 million back in 1969. Now they are getting 20 miles worth for something like $40 billion.

If you are going to wait, just float a bond now for $15 million and wait for trump to collapse the economy. Contractors will be desperate for the work and bid super low!


Bad facts make bad laws.  I noticed that none of these people in these stories have highly skilled jobs like engineering, medical jobs, accounting, etc. Yet the guy with epilepsy who is a student has three kids?!?

Besides, who goes to a massage therapist with Hep-C?

We need reform, but instead of sad personal stories, let's talk about the issues - why aren't costs going down? Why isn't the obesity rate budging? Why aren't people making healthier lifestyle choices? Why are we now having this prescription drug overdose epidemic? Why are so many people on medicaid instead of paying premiums? Why aren't there controls against the Shkreli's of the world?

Let's start talking solutions.


Two words to back up what Representative Wilson states and to really show this is an epidemic of legal kidnapping without the State following federal Laws but gladly accept federal funding to kidnap & place ASRC shareholders with nonshareholders: Anaktuvuk Pass. Judges, OCS workers, Guardian Ad Litems, Public Defenders, even the States Custody Investigators office joke that there are no more children in Anaktuvuk Pass because of OCS's legal kidnapping. I screamed at Danielle Butler as a kidnapper while she had her newborn kid in her office with her...plus her full-in closed 4-6 of her caseload while she was on maternity leave. People who are in denial about this should go through & experience how OCS operates first hand.  Stupid sheep....


It looks like the pool of intelligent people doesn't include you huh, Boo-Boo?


For me, the tragedy comes first, then disbelief at the unbelievably self-centered, heartless comments.

I read the Newsweek timeline. It DID NOT SAY that the "shooter" asked if it was Democrats or Republicans  ""A guy...walked up to us that was asking whether it was Republicans or Democrats out there," Representative Ron DeSantis told Fox News Wednesday morning. "And it was just a little odd then he walked towards the area where this all happened."  A guy asked and then walked toward where they were practicing.  Don't you think that, if he was carrying an assault weapon, that would have been spotted or if he was wearing a bulky coat in the heat, that would have been noticed?  You should be more careful and responsible to the truth just like the AP is.  You should also not try to infer that the Democrats are responsible while trying to whip up your Republican partisan frenzy.


Light gets bent by gravity.  However, it isn't much, unless you have a huge gravity source, like a quasar.  The earth's gravity can only bend light a tiny amount, the moon even less.  So, the moon's gravity won't bend the sun's light enough to bend around it and get to us.

Economists like to claim they know math when they are predicting crap from a crystal ball. You need a higher dollar to stop the exponential and compounded interests on debts. TAKE A MATH CLASS.

additionally, the people of this WHOLE COUNTRY are better off with a higher dollar to be able to afford everything. A low dollar is 1. market fraud and 2. oppression of Canadians and our value.

Tess, I agree, planning ahead is the key. But oftentimes life tosses things at people which they did not plan ahead to happen and there go the planned ahead savings. But it's all part of life, everyone hits a rough patch once in awhile. Fortunately some of us grew up eating a lot of beans and rice and pasta. We call it 'comfort food' and we LIKE it. We shop the marked down sections of the store and we make an occasional stop at Value Village. A fancy dinner out is Taco Bell or Wendy's. Netflix replaces the movie theater, Walmart is the new Macy's. Special entertainment is at a grandson's football field or a granddaughter's volleyball game or karate tournament.
We sit back in the sun, look at the beautiful mountains and think how lucky we really are. It's peaceful here. I hope I hold out for several more years of it.


We have historical precedence in the case of leftist insurrection. Way more violence. You can find extreme wingnuts on both sides. More on yours, though.

We have been providing bombs, weapons, Intel and even refueling American made Saudi jets on their way to drop American made weapons of destruction on Yemen.

The age of the Oil Wars are over - we are now a net oil exporter. We don't need Arab dictators anymore than we need African dictators or Asian dictators as our "friends". We never really needed them in the first place - it was the Big Oil company folks who did.
Military alliances should be reviewed every five years to determine if they still are worthy of our defense dollars and soldiers lives. Blindly backing dictators has backfired in our face every single time. When will our leaders learn?

Thank you for spotting that, although it turns out we were both wrong, but AT was "wronger" than your comment. The Adventist who is a member of congress from Houston is Sheila Jackson Lee. Barbara Lee is not that person, despite the note and press release that we were sent. She is the member of congress from California as you mentioned. Fact checking was done too quickly!!

I swear most of the software and web interfaces I come across could not ever have been user tested before being released for general use.
And while software cannot be "engineered" in the way that civil/electrical engineering occurs it can certainly be done much more methodically than can happen with the currently popular practice of putting all the developers/designers in one room, without even the minor benefit of cubicle walls, where they can interrupt and distract each other all day long. In my experience the number of spontaneous "great ideas", about the design of a system or piece of software, that come from spontaneous group interactions is vanishingly small. Most of the good ideas come from a lot of methodical work and the same is true of the code that implements those ideas.

Protesting something he caused is a tactic that trump would employ.

To my knowledge not once has BLM marched in protest of the daily, weekly mulitple killing of Blacks shooting other Blacks in Chicago or anywhere else. The question becomes is Black Lives Matter really about the individual lives of Black Americans being lost or is it really a cover for something else?

IMHO Black Lives Matter is a farce and is becoming a very destructive force in America today. I for one have noticed the rhetoric their leadership displays, in general, more interest in promoting racism then working to end racism. And as I point out the multiple black on black killings that take place each and everyday you never hear a peep of outrage from Black Lives Matter becomes rather self evident.

People should wake up and realize ALL lives matter regardless of skin color.

Doc,
 I have heard Trump speak and compared to his predecessor its absolutely scholarly.  Obama hesitated and 'choked' his way thru almost every news conference. He was so afraid to offend the 'thought police' in liberal land that he resorted to halted sentences, occasional  stuttering and the overly self -conscious effort at watching  his p's and q's  and it was painful to watch.  He knew it too.  I heard Obama say once, that the reason he was so cautious at speaking was to not cause alarm and panic in the world.  Trump has blown that theory away. It proves the old adage, 'Actions' still speak louder than 'words'. We had 8 years of a President who liked to draw a red line and when confronted, would just move the line backwards. Its what the world has come to expect. Soon though, the talk will end and  'action' will replace the words. North Korea and Iran will yearn for the good old days of 'talk'. Its not too late for them, though, to start behaving and shape up.

I do not think teaching politics by the math or science teacher is necessary as there are designated classes for the subject.  History teachers and political science teachers should teach them.  They should not be giving opinions, they should teach both sides and let the students decide.  Free speech is good.  Telling me both sides but saying only one is right is not teaching.  Do that on your own time.


Along with the name calling, what do you have to offer by way of support for the tax plan? A Trump supporter claiming someone bases their life on lies is just a bit of pot calling kettle, ya know?

Dr. Spencer is an advisor to the Cornwall Alliance, an evangelical Christian group that claims environmentalism is “one of the greatest threats to society and the church today.” He has done work with other religious groups denying climate change including the Evangelical Climate Initiative.
His climate assertions have been proven wrong.

That claim sounds like apocryphal hearsay to me. The story so far as represented to the public remains non-credible to this reader.


The word is that they are going to re-visit Hillary's e-mail scandal; anybody else at the minimum would have lost their job (I guess she did in a sense....! Ha !) and the Uranium One scandal - Hillary signing away 20% of the USA'S uranium to a Russian company and Bill Clinton's Foundation collecting million's of dollars for the favour.....


Folks, be sure to take a peek at John Erlich in court view if you want a look at the criminal record that he thinks shouldn't be held against him when he tries to get out on bail. This is what criminals really believe.


The good citizens of Eugene are disgusted!  When, oh when, will the Eugene Council & mayor demand downtown and park blocks be cleaned up for ALL the citizens of this city to enjoy.  We refuse to go there for fear of our safety and/or fear of being harassed.  That is just not right!  Clean up that abominable mess or we will NEVER have a healthy and viable downtown. Don't bother us with Facebook questionnaires that have no valid questions and that you will ignore anyway.  You know what needs to be done -- just do it.


Maybe because it is lamentable, but hardly newsworthy?

...“At least 484 civilians have been unintentionally killed by coalition strikes,” the United States Central Command, or Centcom, the military command responsible for the Middle East, said in a June 2 statement. Four months earlier, Centcom had said at least 199 civilians had been killed up to that point in the bombing campaign. Estimates by independent monitors are much higher. Airwars, a watchdog group, says coalition airstrikes have killed nearly 4,000 civilians.

if it is handled properly it is an investment. im not disagreeing with you per se because i think you are kinda right about greece and brazil but think about it this way. salt lake city can use it as a marketing event. they already have infrastructure so the initial investment would be lower but the return (marketing) would be higher. salt lake is a beautiful place to live and people need to know that. same with reno and denver but those cities couldnt handle the infrastructure affordably and so the giant mess the games would cause would [prevent them from ever achieving their marketing goals. plus denver doesnt need to be marketed, it is already a runaway train.

Where does Gustafson "tell victims how they should feel, act or move forward" or assert "any rights over the injured party"?

In fact, Gustafson says, "I have learned from victims' advocates that seeking out victims — even to make amends and express my sorrow — could very likely result in re-victimization. So I wouldn't do that. If they ever contacted me, I would be very happy to talk with them, in whatever way would be safe and appropriate."

By all means take your son to a women's march. He'll be thoroughly bored, and more importantly, he won't learn a thing.

A "women's march" to protest the inauguration of a President in a foreign country is nothing but an exercise for yourselves. It won't accomplish anything. No American who voted for Trump is going to reconsider their choice because a bunch of ladies went for a walk in the snow.

Your son won't learn anything because the context of  women going for a walk in London to protest politics in the US is way beyond a 4 y/o ability to comprehend.

But go nuts. Bore your son to death with your walk. It might help you sleep better at night if you delude yourself into thinking you did something.

You are right about one thing - Trump has no concern for religious values. He is a man who has no values. His only gods are wealth and power for himself and his family.

Have you not noted that not  a single terrorist incident in the US has been due to activity by anyone from the six banned countries? Have you not noticed that the Trump family has no business interests in any of the six countries?  Have you not noticed that they do have business (self) interests in Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other countries to whom Trump has given a pass, even though the attacks against Americans in the US were carried out by people from those countries - the countries where he does business? The countries who now realize they need not concern themselves with human rights because Trump has given them a pass on that too.  As long as he and his family are making money in those countries, they can do whatever they wish, including financing and harboring terrorists.


If the goal is to de-escalate tensions, Trump should cancel the trip and take a vow of silence.


is there not a tyrant or dictator in this world the Liberals will not fawn over.


Mark Hammill works on sets with private armed guards.  he lives in what is essentially a gated community.
Australia's gun control did nothing. 53% decline in homicide in Australia  since their 1990's peak? The US had a decline of MORE -- 62% and increased guns -- and greatly increased semi -auto guns.
On "no mass murder" BS. When I was in Australia two years ago a person killed eight children with a knife. They have plenty of mass murder. And they have a higher proportion of murder of non criminals than the US does for same demographic areas in Australia and US. A 27% higher rate of murder of non criminals in Australia than in the US when comparing internal juristictions with same age, income, education level, minority, etc demographics. Not a criminal or in a gang? You are much safer in the US.
Lastly first hammily has said he "just wants background checks" now he really lets it out and says he wants massive confiscation.


So, Langevin's views were "largely accepted" at the time. By whom? Do we have evidence of wide acceptance by Indigenous people at that time? That would make the case for honouring his name more convincing.

More convincing but not absolutely convincing. Even if there was "widespread acceptance" in Indigenous communities, there were always champions within them who opposed such views and the practices that flowed from them. Those champions, as all but of a few of us now acknowledge, were on the right side of history. So do we continue to honour those who opposed these champions or chose to ignore them?

Very good article all the same, and the idea of some sort of objective "test" can go a long way to helping us sort out our ideas together.


Umm, this data shows that - should trends continue through the final 3.5 months of the year - South Addition and North Star combined will see a 38% increase in property theft this year over last year.  That asterisk next to 2016 matters greatly... the charts above are comparing 8.5 months of data to 12 months of data.

If APD is representing this data as showing a 'flat' trend, they either don't understand how numbers work, or they are intentionally misusing data.  I'm not sure which I'd prefer?


The answer is simple! If you do not like something as a consumer, you pass on purchasing it! Stop buying the product !


DUH!

"If you can't fly because you're on a watch list by our government and you're not allowed on an airplane, you should not be able to enter a gun shop and walk out with an assault weapon."


this is the type of nonsense that results from naysaying anything backed by your perceived 'enemies'...you know, 'libtards', 'greenies', 'lefties'.
you favor this disaster simply because the opposition is identified with those you obviously hate...don't bother to deny it.
alaskans capable of rational thought know pebble is a horrible idea.  what does that say about you, dick?

well, ya just gotta shill it because sticking it to the 'greenies' is more important than what is right and good for alaska.


No. The were illegals. Illegally entering the U.S. without proper documentation is STILL a crime and  constantly pretending it's not doesn't make it disappear.


I think you missed the point.....this was sarcasm.


I really, really didn't need that image stated so explicitly :-)


Come on, folks, don't be so darn cynical. Lobbyists don't expect any sort of quid pro quo for their $$$. They just earnestly believe in advancing good government and honesty in politics. Unlike your average citizens, who naively expect politicians to act in the public interest without being bribed. God bless those bar owners for looking out for the rest of us.

Folks in Kodiak may recall the days when LeDoux knocked on doors all around the island, so passionately was she in love with Emerald Isle residents that she could hardly stand it until she could get down to Juneau and represent us.

Then she discovered Anchorage. And the best government that money can buy. I'll smoke to that.


His knowledge and concentration (and interest) are "a mile wide and an inch deep".  Actually, they're more like a foot wide...


The USD has hardly "crumbled".  There is no real upside to the CAD at this point. Not likely to go much past 77.  Look at the longer term charts.


Walt Bonora made a false statement that needs correcting.  He wrote that "When the Christian right speaks of religious freedom- they want it for them, but not for the rest of us."  To begin with, the Christian right is part of "us."  The pledge says that we are one nation.  Freedom of religion applies to everyone.  Same with freedom of the press, to assemble and the right to bear arms.  He also conveniently forgot that the Dark Ages was followed by the Reformation.  The Church is populated by humans, not deities.  We are feeble and frail and apt to fail, as proven throughout history.  But today's Church is feeding the poor, digging wells in Africa and healing the sick by bringing doctors to the needy worldwide.  But we don't do good because ours is a Christian nation, because it's not.  We are pro-life because it is right, but we don't spend a lot of time concerned about gay weddings.  That impression is put forth by the same media that is obsessing about Trump colluding with Russia.


Used to be, when you made a stupid comment, it travelled a short distance before mutating, and you could just say, "I never said that," and end the discussion there. It becomes he-said, she-said, and if the person doesn't have a history of saying stupid things already, the benefit of the doubt is given and the argument is over.

Now-adays, people post stupid comments and they are saved for posterity sake. So, either you have to separate your personal life from your professional life (always a good idea...), or have the brain-to-mouth filters engaged 24/7/365.

Here's hoping that Frei got canned because he has a history of doing the stupid/racist/insensitive thing....


Oh boy, the Trump supporters aren't gonna be happy. Again. They might have to burn all their MAGA hats.


Not confusing anything.  Your comments illustrate, not only a deep-seated hatred towards those with whom you do often attempt to denigrate, but also a mental disorder.  You are a leftist.  Funny how progressives deny what they are when thinking faced with the negative associations of what they believe.

I am more concerned about the citizens of this country.  That doesn't mean I wouldn't want to help others who are in need.  It's more about what I am able to do.  And the suicidal desire to import thousands of people who we can't vouchsafe isn't going to help them.


Paul, there is a much greater risk from people not washing their hands thoroughly after going to the bathroom.  Bottom line (pun intended) wash your hands after being near anything that comes out of anything's bottom :)


Well, Roy then why are the majority of posts from your clueless fellow travellers talking about "corruption"?


Pebble and other mineral companies do nothing but privatize profits and socialize the cleanup efforts when it comes to light they are dumping toxic waste into the rivers.


Will Walker and Mallot run as Independents again? Does this mean the D's will not have a candidate again? Or will Walker and Mallot run in the D party right from the get-go? Would they do better in a 2 way race or a three-way race?


You clearly have read the Metrolinx-Bombardier contract, IBJ., since you have such a firm legal opinion. For our benefit, what exactly was wrong with Bombardier's case?


Umm, governments could say NO at the bargaining table.  Oh, wait.  That would require principles and gumption.  Never mind.


Just watch the contestants on jeopardy when they get those Canadian content questions. That tells us all we need to know.


Very,very few ever get the $1000..most get $250....and less


Yes that would include Barack Obama. American foreign policy is the stuff of pirates cutting across the centuries pretty much regardless of president with the exception of FDR (and arguably, Jimmy Carter).


Any evidence or is this just the usual extremist ranting?


It was bunk the first time.


Mr. Scheer's silence on the Charlottesville violence speaks volumes.

He clearly has no issue with his fellow Conservatives, Kent and Rempel taking to the American media to rant about the Khadr settlement of litigation.  Why can't Mr. Scheer take to the Canadian media to denounce what happened in Charlottesville?


Must be pretty lonesome in Mountain Village tonight with five guys gone.


Imagine if Rona had millions of taxpayer dollars to hand out to her host,she could have had a whole island and helicopter rides to share with her bestest caucus pals instead of a piddly boat !


Eh? Hahaha.. what? "Dead horse, meet broom!? I'm totally disappointed in you RIC


Each winter the reefs along the north shore get battered by storm surf. Ever notice there are very few coral reefs compared to what's found along protected coasts?

Look at the Kona coastlines and in areas like Kaneohe Bay. Large expanses of coral, the type that get wrecked by storm surf. They thrive because they don't experience that kind of disruption.

And then look at places like Hanauma Bay where hundreds of thousands of tourists walk upon anything that's less than chest-deep. Few corals there, too.

It could be said that the hundreds of thousands of snorkeling tourists do far more damage to Hawaii's reefs than the few dozen tropical fish fishermen ever could. Meanwhile, the tropical fish fishermen provide non-swimmers and others a chance to be introduced to what's down there. It is these kinds of educational opportunities that inspire the next generation to care for our ocean resources.


god bless LTD - they must be a split personality type of company.  last week, month and pretty much year, LTD got slammed mostly for the EmX and financial stuff.  this morning (?) I read comments from people who are happy about route and service changes  that sound like they were actually improvements  and I thought YAY!  finally!  ........ and now this  -  their approval rates just must never rise very high before the next bomb hits.  poor andy voborra  who was the messenger  of many of LTDs greater hits  - maybe he left because of  battle fatigue.  any time, anything LTD did that generated  good will within the community was so short- lived..


Headline: "Trump's environmental rollbacks lack 'moral compass,' Catholics say
Planet, people take back seat to business since election."

The "moral compass" is jobs. N"C"R seemed to be dozing during the Obama Administration, in which the recovery from the 2008 downturn was exceedingly sluggish, and annual growth was mediocre. That translates into far fewer jobs created than might have been, stagnant wages, and fewer opportunities, particularly for those in historically disadvantaged situations, such as young people and racial minorities.

Heard on NPR this morning, from a woman in coal country who voted for Trump: "We just wanted to have someone there who wasn't our enemy."


how stressed are we when we can justify hitting a human being with vehicle.?  what could have been running through his mind?


If you have a slow old communication system which will never be upgraded, the neighborhood surveillance hardware conceivably would render at some point the bandwidth even in large communities rather unwieldy.  Funny.  Comment about this assembly persons since you set this up.


"His administration slashed the advertising budget for 2018 sign-ups, cut the length of open enrollment in half, and sharply reduced federal grants to groups that help consumers navigate the process."

Can someone explain why a consumer would need help "navigating the process"?

Why is this so hard for some people?


Denver city proper is growing faster than the suburbs. People moving into the city every day.


Wait... so it's now your argument that people are BORN terrorists and murderers?  Which people, exactly?  I'm curious to know how you go about identifying terrorists and murderers at birth so that they can be imprisoned immediately.


Hang on here Tom.....I was employing sarcasm.  Of course Jared read the emails.  Of course he knew what the meeting was about.  and...quite likely he was present for some, if not all, of the conversation regarding dirt on Hillary.  To think otherwise would be folly.
The entire Trump crew will lie and deny for as long as possible.  When caught "red-handed" they will say "oh, yeah, I forgot about that one.  sorry."  Jr. did it about four times..just about the famous "dirt on Hillary" meeting.  I wouldn't be surprised to hear Jared shift his story if the other persons at the meeting supply information which contradicts his current statements.

If I can figure out a way to do it, I will post sarcasm in italics.....regards, Gary Crum


Like by standing up and stating that 'Yes, I am voting to repeal the ACA!'

But he has no guts, class or scruples.


Ten words or less: how do you feel about increasing the minimum wage to even semi-livable, then?


I'll think to take the day off and stay home... if they say is true...it's gonna be a mess out there....be safe everyone ans buckle up!!


One more instance in which members of the GOP can't agree on anything.  When they can't find common ground among party members, how in the world do they ever expect to pass anything and show the average voter that they can govern.


Why not offer a prompt payment discount? Say 2% off if you pay within 7 days? Common practice in my industry. No charge for the advice, unlike the useless fluff given here in this article.


One thing is for sure with Nate Nehring you will not get a negative angled campaign. He is sincere and humble and seeks to represent his constituents well. I have been so impressed with his demeanor and willingness to learn as much as he can before making a decision AND HE LISTENS WELL!  You can see his track record. He actually shows up to work and attends council meetings! Imagine that! He has already saved us millions by his courthouse vote to remodel rather than rebuild. We need thoughtful politicians like him. So what about his age? This guy has more going for him in integrity and intelligence than most 40-50 year olds. He has been a teacher, commissioner, member of various boards and committees, worked on campaigns...you can't tell me this guy doesn't have good experience. Nate won't spend his time making mistakes with Snohomish County.  We should be thankful we have someone like him to vote for.


The Alaska State Legislature has yet another opportunity to override the Governor's veto and offer equal cuts of their own making, and they have no time to waste.  Get 'er done lawmakers.  LeadDog Alaska


It’s a start.


If Kenai doesn't want the sales of marijuana, they should be ineligible for any of the tax money. May their community suffer for it.


Man, she's on the war path.


No kidding just look at the premise. Its the responsibility of the FBI to protect the DNC servers? Uh no its not. They didn't pay for good security and paid for it. And podesta used pa$$word as his password.

Talk about nanny state thinking. She thinks the FBI's job is to protect he DNC from being stupid.


See a shrink you pathetic troll.


i'd be willing to wager than 98% of the homes in rural AK are not built "to code."  community centers, washeterias, schools- may be code compliant, in some cases.  but not the average residence.

costs too much.  ya learn early on to use the materials on hand, re-use anything that has any "life" left in it, and somehow make it all work.  good ol' fashion eskimo ingenuity.


Think of the $$$ PBS would raise with "Bob Ross - the lost episodes..."Burnside Saturday", "New Orleans", "Coachella", and everyone's favorite, "Burning Man Bob"


Washington Examiner writes this as a good thing. How Liberal of them. Guess what IGNORAMUSES, the Supreme Court will over turn this. Too many Violent criminals being released based off them being Illegal. A teenager raped on a Greyhound bus prior the rapist was released due to being Illegal. A mother murdered and her five day old baby kidnapped, prior to that the murderer held hostage another woman and threatened violence but was released because of her being Illegal. This was in Kansas. Guess the Washington Examiner really needs help.


LW2 - Say "we've decided, and it's not up for discussion." If she presses, then "yikes look at the time I gotta go". Not "here are our reasons." If you give reasons, then she'll take that as an invitation to give her reasons too, and suddenly you're arguing about whose reasons matter more.

In general, any goal of getting another adult to agree with you or see your perspective is likely to keep frustrating you forever, because it depends on someone else changing their mind. Instead try a goal of "gram and I don't argue about the wedding anymore", which is something you can get that doesn't depend on her.

Also don't worry about other family members who hear her complain. She's not convincing them or causing them to be rude to you, right? If it's out of your control, and it doesn't affect how they treat you, then no point adding it to your worries.


True! Canada needs to export all over the word not be confined with the protectionist USA. Canada has been historically DEPENDENT on the mood swings of the USA namely on wood,beef, etc.   .INDEPENDENCE , flexibility, creativity, must prevail in all our exports around the world


Good,

Did PM Gerald Butts really believe that the US wouldn't notice the travesty of giving a terrorist a $10.5 million payday?


(This keeps getting deleted as "uncivil" because it makes some of you uncomfortable? You're misusing the ratings system..) Frederick, what Paul wrote is as much a part of the Bible as the rest of it, Old and New Testament, and doesn't disagree with any of it when you understand it all as a coordinated whole. Jesus clearly did not teach that we are saved by following the law (Google "Matthew 5:18 commentary" if that's one verse you're getting at, https://www.gci.org/bible/matthew517 for example); we get right with God, forgiven, through faith in Christ's finished work on the cross that paid the price for our sins, but, genuine saving faith will have as part of it a conviction of the ugliness of our sin and the need to turn away from it - repentance (required by God; you can't ask for forgiveness and then continue doing those very same things), and Christ's lordship, without which we can't live a life pleasing to God. A right heart with God also will result in an outflow of good works.


His list of accomplishments would be a zero on a stick it.


He has plenty of criminal history in Wasilla Alaska, would make an interesting read.


What police brutality occurred and where did I stare I supported it?

Nice projection of a phony opinion to me and assuming my position


Seems too obvious, right?


Yes. Because holding a parade always solves everything.


There will come a day, when every square inch of Hawai'i, will be covered in concrete.  Highrise buildings & skyscraper buildings, will rule the landscape.

There will no longer be any fruit bearing trees (mangos, mountain apples, lychee, breadfruit, papaya, etc...).

There will no longer be any natural & fresh water.  All water will either be imported of desalinized.  All of the natural well water, will be drained, and will never recover, because we don't allow the water wells to naturally replenish themselves.

A man made or natural disaster on steroids, will hit the Hawaiian islands via tsunami - earthquake - volcanic eruption - etc...

Matson & Young Brothers, will be our sole source of food & water transportation, along with everything else.

We will be known as, the Miami of the Pacific.


Perhaps it is not unreasonable to ask this question, while noting it was a horrible action to that young man buy some disgusting thugs.

If the roles were reversed and the Middle East countries were economically sound and millions of Europeans began descending on these countries how would those generational Muslims feel in their homelands?

Assume for a second the millions were admitted into the country, then when it came time and the newly arrived wanted to start changing things, building churches here and there, asking for special educational rights, what would the response be?

If you have arrived at anything less, than, "you know what, predominately white countries are the most accepting, while far from perfect, they have allowed us in when we never would have done the same.".    Or, "you know what, I should stay in my birth country and strive to make it better as opposed to flocking to a country that ideologically I do not share enough values with...to do otherwise is rude."


"But there should be some control for retired singles like myself who rent and should not have to pay the rent of a couple or family"

LOL - now there's a concept.  Sounds as if you want to eat your cake and have it too.


What Trump uses the is the vile un-Americans left wing media to promote him.  After all, Trump is the most wise president in our lifetime.  The old proven Hollywood saw is that all and any publicity is good even if negative.  Trump has kept himself front and center even during that leftist demo/lemming convention.  As not worth a "Hill of Beans" Clinton spends many millions, the working class Billionaire gets all the free publicity he can handle as Wiki leaks plans a sweet surprise for the Devil lady.


In time, the wisdom of saving this building will be self-evident, just as the wisdom of preserving Old City Hall is now self-evident. Midcentury buildings of merit like Davisville school and the McLaughlin Planetarium need to be preserved to represent the best of an era to future generations. This is the way great cities are built. https://www.facebook.com/SaveThePlanetarium/


It's times like this that really reveal peoples' ability to look at a problem rationally and critically.  Time and time again, economies like Alberta's and Saskatchewan's prove that a balanced approach is necessary - that means revenues as well as spending.

Wall's increasing of the provincial sales tax should be proof, once and for all, to the right-wing zealots in Alberta, that it is literally impossible going forward to sustain Alberta's "advantage" AND provide the necessary services required in a modern society.

While it's completely fair to discuss trimming and cutting areas of government spending that are expendable (e.g. the "communications" and PR behemoth entrenched by the Klein regime), and it's equally fair to claim that the Notley government has been too quick with things like the minimum wage and carbon tax, it's also high time Albertans stopped being those people who know the price of everything and the value of nothing.


IRT "Eclipse showed how we can be united"
Politics merely keeps the peace.  Allows people privacy from others and protects private property and human rights.  Keep people separate and independent.  Too many politicians have the mistaken idea that politics is really for bringing people together.  Culture, churches, charities, and religions that are based upon human VALUES rather than human RIGHTS are what bring people together.  This eclipse invoked human VALUES and so, people with personal causes or disputed rights simply came together without issue.  Lokahi kine.  Considerable problems arise when vote-hungry politicians conduct politics that usurp the "jobs" of culture, churches, religions, charities and similar.


And yet Obama deported more Mexicans then all the other administrations combined in the 20th century. Not a word out of any Latinos about that.


Why is the G&M making such a big story out of this? Is this play mandatory or something?


The existing law that says that people who arrive in Canada and make a refugee claim follow a set process to establish their admissibility.

That's worlds apart from the 'send them all back' racism induced hysteria.


The dumb pig, is smarter than some humans and along with the water for the dying children, send birth control so we don't have double the human population that is starving.


Privatization Case study 101:
Barton says " privatizing airports are common." The U.K. has six terrible airports with notoriously bad and expensive service. Heathrow is nightmare compared to others in Europe. Privately owned by a Spanish conglomerate. Incheon Airport Seoul S Korea- winner of best airport in the world: publicly owned and operated. Macquarie investments a hedge fund from Australia tried to buy it with backroom dealings. It was rejected after S Koreans expressed outrage. Barton and Morneau are selling Canadians out.


Yes.  Lots of winning.  Plenty of winning.   It must be exhausting.


hah


Catou, your analogy is just a mess. Moby Dick wasn't a story about opportunity, it was a story of revenge.  Strong dividend stocks with solid dividend payouts are a fantastic way to ride out volatile market periods.  Dividend investors tend to be long term investors who weather storms well, they are an anchor in the storm. Lightning rod investors, to use your analogy, would reflect short term and penny stock investors.


Technology is a big part of this.  On-line lectures and content and hybrid courses have made it possible to leave the classroom behind.  And just because no classes are scheduled does not mean the rooms are not utilized.  Meetings and seminars are often scheduled on Friday because extra classroom space is available.


Ummm..  Up until last year, I was a Republican.  I supported Marco Rubio in the primaries.  But I don't support hatred and white nationalism.


The Broncos and Chiefs are the only teams in the AFC West that don't need great quarterback play to make the playoffs.  In the case of Siemian, the biggest knocks on him are throwing too many passes well short of the sticks and not being able to stay healthy. If the Broncos' O-line really is "fixed" (I'm still skeptical on that), then we should see huge improvement from Siemian on those two things this year plus a vastly improved running game, allowing Denver to make the playoffs.  If not, then does it matter who the QB is?  Not really.


Oregon also had a vibrant medical program in place prior. Alaska has to start from ground zero.


Sweet, bring even more attention to this place.  I'm sure that it is doing wonders for the property values, (you'll see long-term).  Maybe they can run one of those search lights at night into the ceiling like a circus to showcase just how awesome everything is!


Hate your parents/grandparents much (that is, if you know who they were ...)?  Must have been a horrible household to grow up in ....


I will. And by the way I live in Ecuador and still get the NFL package. So probably won't be going away in the near future.
 Oh for you hard core Trump supporters, Ecuador in not one of the states in the NE by Vermont. It's in South AMERICA


Of course, Joemat-Pettersson resigned as an MP after President Jacob Zuma reshuffled his cabinet and she lost her job. Any parliamentary process would thus preclude her.
    She got out of that one . And criminal proceedings ?
Is a lie told to Parliament not a lie if the liar is no longer in Parliament ?


Whooo Hoooo!!!  Go SERVICE!!  #24 Dominik #Proudmomma


you certainly have thought about this and covered your bases which makes you a safer gun owner right there.  i wouldn't consider a safe in a room necessarily accessible - the bad guy could be between it and you.  also a good shot can be hard to come by under the actual pressure and shock of finding yourself in those kind of  circumstances. there probably are advanced safety courses that teach strategy and keeping cool under pressure.  and staying out of high risk situations is tons safer in itself.  good luck to your family and congrats on being proactive - preparing and being responsible owners.


We can cut another billion, which only leaves $2 billion deficit.  The CBR is $12-15 billion?  That is six or seven years at which time the oil market will have recovered... The lack of capital investment now insures shortages therefore higher prices some time in future.  I feel very comfortable with $80 a barrel five years from now.


I suspect O'Leary favours freetrade with China. It all about money for the 1% for him.


""The four corners of the earth" is of course a metaphor, a figure of speech not to be taken literally."

Er, then why did *EVERY* society in that region at that era state Earth is flat? Just how do you determine what was "meant" by ignorant sheep herders 2,360 years ago?


Just wait until the greens and NDP "fix" BC - it's not as if Horgan is beholden to the United Steelworkers or public sector unions (Jinny Simms). Not as if the United Steelworkers staffed the NDP's offices. BC is just the latest province that decides to sewer their economy under the guise of fighting "climate change" - like Wynne spending $C 42 to save $C 24 billion. Horgan has some catching up to do. It's clear rural BC remembers with high unemployment and regressive economic policies of the NDP in the 90's but the smug urban "progressives" are blinded by bike lanes and symbolic promises about housing. I wonder why the taxi lobby supported Horgan when the NDP said they would bring in Uber... oh well, it's easy to find a cab in Vancouver, especially on weekends... Time to fix BC's education system, their students are only the smartest in the country (but but but no thanks to Clark!).


Actually, John, I recently posted that it would be ideal if people with same-sex attraction were not afraid to speak about it.  That way those who are fighting it could share with others who have that attraction and help them overcome the desire to engage in its associated sinful acts.

But, yes, keep the acts in the closet.  That's pretty much what the Church says.  People with same-sex attraction do have all of the rights that everyone else has; what they don't have the right to do is publicize their sex acts (which is what the labels "homosexual," "Gay," et al, do) as acceptable conduct.

The various names that homosexuals adopt as labels mean that they engage in and/or believe it is ok to engage in same-sex acts.  OTH, "SSA" means that they are attracted to the same sex, but it does not imply any interest one way or the other of their opinion on same-sex acts.  Ironically, the people who remain in the closet and are not allowed to speak are those with SSA who want to fight it.


Cancelled the visit to Pearl Harbor — I guess he's given up on trying to find Trump's lost armada.


The CDU won almost exactly the same vote share as in 2009, when it also formed the government.


I'm sure that both our Senators knew this was coming last week. They both lost an incredible opportunity to increase Alaska's influence on the national psyche. Pre-existing condition coverage, Planed Parenthood, funding for Medicare, etc., were some of the issues they took positions on that were hurt in this bill. Highly providential that the whole mess is delayed while a fellow Senator receives high octane Healthcare. Now they can expect high profile attention while internet costs go up, public lands are disposed of and more revelations over Russia. Too bad their Healthcare plan doesn't include coverage for shouldamatitus,....


That's a function of U.S. rather than Canadian policy. A lot of Canadians believe we should attach more onerous conditions on dual citizenship as well. Citizenship, after all, entails obligations as well as rights.


Although I generally despise the FCC and their attempts at the regulation of free speech, I would love to have every political ad be forced to tell us who actually paid for it. It seems like they have finally made a useful suggestion. Can you imagine how that would have affected cankles ads and obama's in 2007 and 20011?


Sorry I'm not seeing this one. Please be more specific. What's a scenario where this acquisition would help China militarily?


Well done!


I'm surprised that you hold up Eastern Orthodoxy (EO) for an example; half of my family is EO, and I have EO priests and a bishop on that side of my family, and they all tell me that homosexuality is severely condemned in EO and that women can never be ordained priests.   So, you want us to use them as a model?  OK, I'll go along!


Using a little more of your common sense should tell you that just because one works for TS doesn't mean this didn't happen. It is all about the witness credibility, which the other side's attorney has freedom to question on the stand.


You had to scroll past the map showing your named stops to post this. Sheesh.


Thank you very much, indeed, Mr Jonas, for this incredibly insightful and eloquent speech.  Thank you so much also for the integrity, immense strength and leadership that you have shown in highlighting and standing up to this crisis of state capture. We owe an immense debt of gratitude for your service, and for your continuing efforts to speak out on this issue.  Thank you, again.


No they won't. A private business is not required to allow political speech while on the clock. The players have no legal right to stage a political protest on the field.


It is now, but was not founded that way and I have the family tree going back to 1630 to prove it. Lots of Masons, lots of civil leaders. The anti-Masonic movement in the Church was exacerbated by their involvement in liberating Italy from papal control. The battle is over and I should be allowed to join the family secret society without excommuication. I ride a mean tricycle.Congregationalists had a huge impact, as did Deists. Catholics, not really. Regardless, in his history pieces, MSW never mentions the Masons. That is a grave oversight.


....talk about mental disease.  You are clearly a sicko.  Get some help for your obvious problems gramps and change your name to just 'critical', because you are.


'Twas my first thought as well. Agreed!


Was I mistaken, or did our Finance Minster make the Panama Papers?

When you don't stop the 'stock options' tax-loophole for the CEOs, you are looking and sounding more like Trump with his proposed tax-breaks. Not good optics and not good politics.

The German people gave their evil leader a chance in the 1930's. They were warned of his sinister solutions to their problems, but like you, they thought it was worth a try. The result was disastrous including the holocaust.
Trumpet has no reasonable ideas to bring us together. Do you really believe he is setting a good example for our children? Any knowledgeable observer will conclude that Obama led our great country with skill and dignity during his eight year term in office.
I will not succumb to Trumpet's lying bloviating egomania. He can not and will not change.


Our military actions are with the intention of making our country and the world a safer place, though of course mistakes have been made.  Kim Jong Un cares nothing about the N. Korean people, or anyone else. Your comparison is absurd.  I don't understand why people who think so little of this country stay here when there is a whole big world out there. We don't need you. You have other options.

This is not the Conservative base that wins elections. Harper figured that out early on and marginalized these wingnuts.

I have been a Conservative for nigh on a half century inspired by the great Conservative Prime Minister and civil libertarian - John Diefenbaker, the architect of the 1960 Canadian Bill of Rights.  Hey it even had a notwithstanding clause.

It was Dief who got rid of racism in our immigration laws and opened up refugee status including taking at risk refugees with TB.

And the Father of Canadian Multiculturalism? Dief appointed Conservative Senator Paul Yuzyk who brow beat Pearson and then Trudeau to recognize Canada was not just English and French. In 2009, the Paul Yuzyk Award for Multiculturalism was created by the Government of Canada to commemorate his achievements.

And the largest refugee movement in our history? Joe Clark initiated the Vietnamese Boat People airlift of 110,000.

The current system of oral hearings by a tribunal for refugees?  Mulroney.

We never win in soccer, many people don't even follow soccer in this country. It's boring and slow with no scoring.
Pass on this debacle, we don't need it.


The test the nail ladies take is written in a few other languages as well . These ladies are claiming it's unfair for them to have to take the test at all because English is their second language and they claim they'll never be able to pass it because of that issue.  If your going to work in America you should be able to pass the American tests given . If I tried to get a job in North Korea I'd expect to pass the needed test in that language or not work-----NOT get the local newspaper to gin up support for me saying I shouldn't have to follow the rules or be given special treatment.


Samski,

You clearly don't know the USA's history as to why they became so powerful and free.

You mean considered innocent.  There's a difference.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that in the case of DWI checkpoints, our Fourth Amendment rights don’t apply. That court found that the state’s interest in reducing drunk driving outweighs the “minor infringement” on a driver’s Constitutional rights.

I'd love to know if Millenials and immigrants will want to live in single family homes in the future.  If they do want them, then they'd better vote for parties who intend to remove construction obstacles like zoning and green reserves ( ALR here in BC), or they will never get their wish granted.

Not a deflection at all.  The vast majority of the protesters are not actually paid.  Yes, the organizers may have a financial interest in promoting a protest (this happens on both sides of the political spectrum, BTW) but the protesters themselves come out because they support the cause....not because they are paid.  Saying that they are paid is simply false.


According to a recently published meta-analysis of persons at low risk for vascular disease (including those receiving statins for primary prevention), statins reduced the risk of major vascular events by 21% per each reduction of 1.0 mmol per liter (38.7 mg per deciliter) in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The risk of death from vascular causes was reduced by 12%. There was no increase in the incidence of cancer or the rate of cancer-related death. Even among participants with estimated 5-year event rates of less than 5%, there was a 38% reduction in the rate of major vascular events, a 43% reduction in the rate of major coronary events, and a 48% reduction in the rate of revascularization.

wow...so every black bear in sight is killed to find the ONE....3 extra bears were killed... you call yourselves Biologists or wildlife managers.... surely not all bears were equal in size, height, weight etc. you must have had a pretty good description from several witnesses and you could not narrow it down????... my oh my...maybe you should be demoted to desk jobs or not have a job in this field at all.
I do agree the necessity to find and kill THE attacker bear, as an injured bear is even a more dangerous bear...but this...this just stinks of ulterior desires and fears and giving in to perceived demands from higher ups etc.

RE:  Education, the feds have always to some extent subsidized some of education, but the states and the local community controlled the funding and the curriculum for their own districts.  And, most of the funding came from the state and local citizens through property taxes and levies for special projects like building a new school.

Republicans do NOT want to privatize "every government program."  However, they would like some better accountability of those programs so that gov't employees are actually forced to do their jobs!  DSHS is a behemouth of an institution.  Some of their employees truly care and do their jobs, but there are numbers who know how to play the gov't game who are not really invested in their jobs which do impact the very people who need the most help!  That is what Conservatives do not like!  And, frankly, neither should you!

Try not to look to the go'vt for every solution and ask how you could simply fix something yourself!

I've worked in  restaurant / bar / hospitality businesses, usually in the LGBT scene. And let me tell you. Every day there would be high drama of a female staff  crying becasue somebody had broken her heart. The female staff members  would then split into two antagonistic groups  for the rest of the day, upset and angry.  Then the next day somebody else was crying about a broken heart and the dynamics of group  support woudl switch.  Us guys just wanted to do our work, but had to bear with all the theatrics that wasted time and energy.  An all male staff got along to do work, even if we didn't necessarily like each other.


PBS on the slavery issue in the choice of the electoral system....for those praising the present system...strongly suggest they look at the original intent! This is just one paragraph from the cited link....

Since then, the Electoral College system has cost four candidates the race after they received the popular vote — most recently in 2000, when Al Gore lost to George W. Bush. Such anomalies and other criticisms have pushed 10 Democratic states to enroll in a popular vote system. And while there are many grievances about the Electoral College, one that’s rarely addressed is one dug up by an academic of the Constitution: that it was created to protect slavery, planting the roots of a system that’s still oppressive today.


Another useless rant on your part.


FYI - There is a feature on Google News that allows you to filter out all sources that you feel are unreliable sources of news.  Thanks to this article, I am adding the Washington Examiner to this list.. which I am really reluctant to do and only do when I am sure a source is completely unreliable - your news source is joining such partisan and false news sources as Daily Beast, Info Wars, Breitbart, Daily Kos and Buzzfeed.  Nice job Samuel Postell.. you are officially fake news.


Reread the article, there is no particular effort being made at regime change. The discussion is about when the regime will crumble from it's own economic mismanagement.

If you want to have a conversation about prejudice begin by teaching real historical facts.... Which Eugene 4j does not teach!

The journey of a black slave to life long servitude often began in the interior of Africa with his or her capture as a prize of war by other black tribesmen, as tribute given by a weak tribal state to a more powerful one, or by outright kidnapping by black local slave traders.
European/white slave traders very rarely ventured beyond Africa's coast regions. The truth is blacks enslaved blacks! In America the culture of white guilt syndrome has become the poisonous ignorance of sensitivity cupcakes teaching [more like breeding] in public schools more ignorant sensitivity cupcakes the hallmark of Eugene 4j.


The fact is  that this article proves is there no green jobs in this country a total scam other then the assembly and maintenance of products brought over from overseas. So less jobs mean less taxes and that means more debt anyone that could not see this happening needs to go back to school.


If you think the university is a colonialist institution, why do you attend it?

Jesus choose a whole company of people---women as well as men.  Check out the Gospels dealing with the Resurrection.  Jesus permitted women to sit at his feet as disciples [the only Rabbi in all of Palestine to do so].

Jesus did not anoint anybody with oil, did not consecrate anyone as a priest.  Besides, to whom did Jesus first appear?  To Peter?  No!  Jesus knew very well who was faithful to him to the end.  Again, women held the title of apostle and deacon in the early Church as well.

There is enough documented evidence that women held church offices in the early church.  Do you know that bishops were married and that if they died, their wives had the title of bishop as well.  That is documented evidence in from some of Europe's early cathedrals.  The Vatican needs to remove its blinders.


What I think is happening is that pre-existing racial prejudice, buried and suppressed by pressure to be politically correct, is being exposed. I suspect people of color have sensed the hidden prejudice all along. Now  there is the unquestionable proof in the actions and words of those without fully developed frontal lobes...teenagers...who lack the benefit of considering consequences and the benefit of empathy that racial prejudice is still alive and well in our society.
This may be a wu li moment in the sense that it could be a disaster or an opportunity. How it actually turns out is up to us. Do we point fingers and blame, which would likely exacerbate the problem, or do we teach (not preach) the brotherhood of man?


Thank you,  I believe that they held back a considerable amount of the request. I will research in my saved article file and provide a link. Thanks Mark and I hope that you are well.


Do you not believe that a great many Canadians grew up incorporating Canadian Aboriginal culture??

Of course they did .. especially in Eastern Canada.

Do you honestly think that when this country had a much smaller population, that Aboriginal [known as 'Canadian Indian'] culture was not intrinsic to Cdn Culture..??

It certainly was..

Take a good hard look at which cultures present as 'aggressively' seeking to control the narrative & those that do not.. Canada's Aboriginal Culture was always known to be soft spoken & contemplative.. to where Canada's Nat'l Character & Polite Society was known to have a 'caring culture'

The face of Canada's National Culture has changed dramatically over the last 40 years, to where there is now a new Pop. of globalists trying to change the tone & value of being a Canadian National.

That Trudeau senior & junior have been be trying to segregate Canada using 'multiculturalism' as a venue to divide & conquer Canada's National Culture = Balkanization..

A study in contrasting styles of mendacity:
President Trump goes to the CIA and lies, easily and comfortably, about the genesis of his dispute with the intelligence community and about the size of the inauguration crowds. He lies easily because ‘truth’ is a meaningless concept to him; he has never had a point of reference for it. He has no consciousness of guilt when he’s spewing falsehoods because he has no moral center from which awareness of guilt emanates for most people.
Sean Spicer appears before the press to tell the same lies, but his awareness that he is lying, his awareness that everyone in the room knows he’s lying, is evident in his defensiveness, his rage, and his cowardice (scurrying away without answering questions.)
And then there’s Kellyanne Conway's instantly infamous “alternative facts.”
Now comes word that Trump’s promise to release his taxes after the “audit” is as meaningless as everything else he says. No surprise, that.


The problem is Most of the Voting Voters voted FOR SB21!

I think the only way it would make sense to trade Lynch is if we traded for or picked up a free agent that was a clear #1.  Then you make Trevor a long-term #2 and Lynch is expendable.

But as much as I like Trevor, I don't think you can just say "he's our clear #1 for multiple years".  As such, WE'RE one of those teams you speak of that needs a good QB prospect for next year.  So it makes more sense to just try to keep developing Lynch for hope he has a breakout in year #3.  Many experts felt he needed at least 2 years of preparation anyway (maybe even 3).

"China has invested trillions to build critical infrastructure around the world for the well-being of hundreds of millions of people."

Um, sure, they did that as a big charity, kind of like a big Santa Claus - it had NOTHING to do with China's self-interests, such as creating more demand for Chinese-made goods...


keep trying to make that nonsense comparison bud, no one is listening to this nonsense, trump is doing exactly what obama did


I think "IP 28 would levy a 2.5 percent tax directly on a firm’s sales in Oregon that exceeded $25 million. But the legislative agency’s calculations were based on a lower, or “equalized” tax rate applied to all businesses — regardless of whether they would pay increased taxes directly under IP 28." is important.

The report pretended everyone would be taxed, but at a lower rate than the 2.5%. I don't know why a report would start with such a simplification and then expect the answer to be anything close to what would actually happen. I'd be interested to see a report that just looked at the 50 companies paying 51% of the tax. It sounds like those are pretty easy to determine, and the impacts could be even manually curated for better precision.


You're not surprised, your p*ssed I won't run your errands for you.  I'm right, you're wrong, you know it and like the Hildebeast, refuse to admit you've been beat.  Now be a good boy and go lay down...sport.


It is completely false to say Tulsi has ever "supported" Assad. That's like saying you support every leader in the world if you don't want us to use our military to go to war with them and remove them from power. She has repeatedly spoken against the regime-change insanity because we've all seen how that went with Iraq, Libya, etc.


Well, well, well - more dirty Denver cops, this time at the very top of the organization. A number of others feel free to behave badly with impunity evidently because they're taking after their leadership. What a complete and total embarrassment for the city of Denver.

Although both Toronto and Vancouver are experiencing huge housing price increases, there are significant differences in the reasons in the two cities.  Certainly China rich people storing their money in our new condos is a similar problem, but the buying of individual houses is different. Vancouver is experiencing more people from China living in their houses in Vancouver, such that the population mix has become very majority Chinese in Vancouver west and increasingly moving to the eastern GVRD.

One could only hope that Chong, who I believe is a member, could run for leadership of the Ontario PCs. We could have certainly used him this upcoming June election. Wynne would be steamrollered by any PC candidate who's sensible. And at this point in time, there isn't one.


Try to say something that makes sense ONCE. Seriously, simple mathematics should mean that ONE TIME in all your hypocritical, misguided and just stupid comments you'd actually make sense. You promote staying home to watch the games on GCI while decrying that not enough people attend. When they diagnosed your lunacy at the doctor's office did they give you a level on the 1-5 scale? Did they run out of clues at WalMart when you were trying to buy one?


Yes, Trump is indeed the perfect metaphor for the GOP's soul. Shallow, belligerent, and with a fondness for empty platitudes over fact, your post highlights exactly the GOPs problem.

By the way, more people voted for "crooked Hillary" than Trump.


Sometimes people who have very high IQ in certain areas develop the idea that they are above the legal and moral constraints that govern mere mortals.  That can lead them to do horrendous things on the assumption that they can just lie their way out of the responsibility.  I leave it to others wiser than me to explain whether the brilliance leads to the amorality or the other way around.

Each time a new development in this case broke, there were countless Defenders of this disgusting man. Worse yet, there were countless folks blaming the victims or their families or prosecutors or anybody but this convicted felon! Where are they all now? I don't know what "perfect justice" is, but thankfully there were prosecutors who did their best to deliver some justice for these poor victims and their families!


I thought Hillary took care of this. So Bush got us involved in Iraq and Afghanistan and Hillary and Obama in Syria and Libya.

All this is true. However, the "Jewish Question" in Britain, 1936, was about refugees from Germany and a bit about "Jewish bankers" in London City. Mosley was high-profile but not a real mass leader. In the USA, isolationism was partly driven by German-American sympathies + rural anti-Semitism. The Jewish Question, in Canada, was about the relative weight of the homeland francophones of Canada in their own communities. Arcand was a nationalist-fascist, but had pan-Canadian ambitions. Groulx was a traditional Catholic sectarian who would keep the flock away from modernism and linguistic taint -- by establishing what he called The French-Catholic Nation of Quebec. I'd love to know how Peladeau spends his time these days and whether he ever recovered his kids from Mlle Schneider.


Unbelievably sad for a good woman and her loved ones! Life in prison is appropriate for the perpetrator. He'll then have time to think, repent, and apologize to this good woman's family and friends. And do penance to repair his unthinkable damage.


How did this get through civil comments review?


Agreed.  The left just needs this kind of social turmoil- pitting each voting group against each other in order to garner their vote- without ever offering up solutions to anything.  Just hate and fear to win votes.


The double standard is that they send out specific expectations on tree thinning, under story and ladder fuels removal that I'm supposed to abide by.  But, most of the government land around me is overgrown and would cause my property to burn, no matter what I do.  I do have to say that in the last couple of years some logging has been done.  But, not on the scale that is needed.


Yes, where's the article about that patriotic leaker helping us learn the truth about the Russian hacking? Trump loved leaks during the campaign, he's gonna love them even more now.


where did you see charismatic as a bundy trait? if he had been charismatic , his rag tag group would have received more than a barrel of lube  from the "outside" when they called others "to arms". as far as an uprising goes - it was pathetic.

When I entered working in a hotel as a cook (late in life) I thought that benefits would follow soon after but found them difficult to obtain. Working in a kitchen is remarkably hard and rewards not tangable. The 30 hours/week in a kitchen before benefits works well for many restaurant owners since it is far cheaper to have more people on staff to limit the hours to hence limit more benefit costs. Working more than 6 hours a day in a busy kitchen is quite demanding. After 10 years the toll on the body forces all but then most dedicated and strong to remain  in the business.  Profitablity in hospitality is precarious due to the highly competitive nature of the business (even chains depend on real estate gains to maintain value) and so minimizing  employee costs usually the main target.


Gotta say, the article's title hooked me in.
