I have been fervently promoting #ZilleMustFall on the basis of her position up till the apology conference; now I believe she deserves another chance to redeem herself. Why did I make this apparent U-turn? Because, anyone who knows her, knows how utterly embarrassing this massive climb-down was for her. It is a pity how little empathy exists among the many people who claim this was a farce. Try putting yourself in her position, knowing all that you know about her. Imagining sitting right next to your boss who repeatedly tells the millions of people watching (or even just the few dozen in the room) how you cocked up. I shiver! But I must qualify my satisfaction by saying that she, and most politicians (most people) don't truly understand how to apologise. They always add some sort of qualification. The people to whom the apology is due, are not particularly interested in the apology per se; all they need is for the offender to show they genuinely understand how wrong they were.


"The economy is doing well, people are doing well, and it's partially because we're removing some of the benefits for the wealthiest,"
What a croc of recycled lunch! How does taxing us more make the economy grow? Hahahaha!


Like Al Capone, eh? But most of the time, gangsters used the Thompson in close-quarters or to spray a general location with bullets....like a drive by shooting. St Valentine Day massacre was one of the biggest headlines Thompson ever gotten. Should check out the wall where the massacre took place at the Mob Museum in Las Vegas.


So your confirming all dogs that were seized are or will be up for adoption?

The NTSB report didn't mention the pilot's name but ADN has no problem identifying him. I hate ADN as they push THEIR agenda. I don't see any crimes committed here. Why the urge to identify the pilot.  Is there no privacy left in this world?


and abhorrent.


I read Coyne twice on that point, and decided the comparison wasn't clear enough to accuse him of making it.  Still, his criticism, aimed at alleged CM hate-mongers --- while smooching with NCR, a stable of hate-mongers --- was amusing.


"Curioso has a criminal record of a theft, firearms violation, drugs, auto theft and unauthorized possession of confidential personal information."

So, basically he matches pretty much everyone else that has stood before our local judicial system only to be set free, yet again, to victimize society at the expense of the innocent.  Just say that.


Yes, typical libby thought.  They believe differently than you so they are dumb.  I love libbies.  So misguided.  Knuckle-draggers for sure.


Go President Joe Trudough..... lol


"His prime quality is SHOWING UP."

Agree. His only quality, one might add.


I'll bet Giorgio Tsoukalos and David Childress know what the purpose of the void was.


Estate-Industrial-Financial Complex is fighting back.
•	Toronto:                April $1.275 million, July $1.050 million – a decline of 17.6%.
•	Mississauga:          April $1.11 million, July $979,000 – a decline of 12%.
•	Vaughan:              April $1.435 million, July $1.2 million – a decline of 16.5%
•	Richmond Hill:       April $1.624 million, July $1.275 million – a decline of 21.5%
•	Newmarket:          April $1.125 million, July $850,000 – a decline of 32%.
The Toronto market continues to collapse. Overall sales were down 39% in the first two weeks of July, with a 45% crumble in deals for detached houses. Semis dropped 43% and condos 35%. Listings are starting to shrink as owners understand the market is turning toxic and gamble that conditions will be better in the autumn. They won’t be. Don't listen to media garbage. They want you back to blind less real estate frenzy.


The only people who should make decisions are the ones who work and pay taxes


One would think that a doctorate in theology would be a minimum requirement for signing a document that sets itself up as the first major theological remonstrance of a Pope since 1333. And also one would think that clerical signatories would be in good standing. And also that signatories would not subscribe to schismatic positions such as those of SSPX.


Yes correct.   If we got rid of this insane war we would be far better off though.

Funny how the right wingers who want government to get completely out of their lives, are all for rules controlling your sex life and what drugs you can have and whether or not you can have an abortion.

Pure hypocrisy and we will not see the end of it here. At least part of this is because of crackdowns by the government the stop doctors from prescribing opioids.

The federal government is going to make over-the-counter codeine illegal in early November. So now if you've got pain that can't be controlled by Tylenol aspirin or ibuprofen well you're just out of luck, feel free to suffer. Also if normal absolutely useless cough syrup doesn't work for you forget about getting anything with a bit of codeine in it which is about the only thing that will stop the cough for me. Feel free to just cough your lungs out.


Actually Xandoli I know Stalin was a tyrant.  But you are wrong in your statement.  It was the three big powers, the USA/Britain/USSR that met and divided up the countries for following the war....Britain took some and the USA as well as Russia, it was a negotiated agreement... and how despicable is that....   I am not an apologist I just try to work with facts/history that is not always written by the winner.....   But please tell me how I am wrong about Japan?


It's unfortunate you weren't riding your bicycle near Mile 46 that day.


Its not the police fault.  Its the hand they were dealt.


To deny diversity is to deny thy self.

If Trump were a D&D aligned character: Chaotic Evil
A chaotic evil character does whatever his greed, hatred, and lust for destruction drive him to do. He is hot-tempered, vicious, arbitrarily violent, and unpredictable. If he is simply out for whatever he can get, he is ruthless and brutal. If he is committed to the spread of evil and chaos, he is even worse. Thankfully, his plans are haphazard, and any groups he joins or forms are poorly organized. Typically, chaotic evil people can be made to work together only by force, and their leader lasts only as long as he can thwart attempts to topple or assassinate him.

Not a serious statement, just trying to figure out a good analogy for Trump and company.


Bubba- I never heard of a mosquito connection to tularemia, but tularemia is also called 'rabbit fever'.  In the Lower 48 it is recommended that you wear rubber gloves to dress rabbits. Your mom was right about that.


On our 150th, I am deeply saddened by the lack of leadership in our political & judicial system. These types of awards are simply outrageous and an insult to hard working Canadian taxpayers  who ultimately pay the bill (and who likely subsidized the lawyers who are the defacto winners in this situation). Not to mention the disrespect to our own armed forces personnel. Why $10 million to Kadr & his lawyers, why not $10 million to disabled and ex-military veterans. At some point, one must consider civil disobedience as a natural and reasonable response to this subtle form of tyranny. If this is the stewardship we can expect, then it's time to "tea party" the authorities by refusing to contribute to this corrupt system.


Being opposed to murky i.e. corrupt offshore moguls buying up Canada isn't racism.


Censorship here is outrageous.


I will agree with you on one thing, violence is not how to deal with a 'disagreement'.  I will however [and not to justify anything] observe that we only have a audio recording as evidence.  I have read reports ranging from punching, strangling, pushing, shoving, to 'body slamming'.  In reality Gianforte could have pushed the obtrusive reporter [I use the term 'reporter' loosely] towards the door in effort to forcibly remove violator of personal/private space, could have been blocking the microphone from being forced into his face, or even responding to an attempt of physical harm.  We do not know.  What we do know is that the reporter is a bias liberal snowflake attempting to make a mountain out of a mole hill.


What a great article, thanks for posting it. Scientific proof that women have evolved to be less cooperative and far meaner than men could ever be.


Born to straddle that fence Sen. Murkowski ain't ya. Do you dye the puppet strings to match your ensemble or the fence?


If you are paying attention then you'd know that the US defense budget is larger than the next 8 countries  combined, and yes that include Russia and China. I'd say you got your ideas turned around. It's Russai and China trying to catch up to the USA.


Excel is Microsoft spreadsheet software. No wonder you have such problems, you can't get the names of companies right.


Crimea has always been historically defined as part of Ukraine for centuries. It is Russia who is the usurper.

Ukrainians made their democratic choice to align themselves with the democratic values and principles of Western nations, and not that of a totalitarian Russia under the chauvinism of Vladimir Putin.


Enough non-profit housing for the poorest 40% of the population? That could cover 100% of the renters!


A LOT of Canadians are angered and embarrassed by what Trudeau has done and is doing to our country. He's a dangerous, evil person hiding behind the veneer of smiles and hugs, photo ops and silly socks. He is attempting to shut down freedom of speech with M103 (a very controvercial anti "Islamophobia" motion).


... Now if that isn`t the swiftest Texas oil-man- double-talk, and obfuscating I have seen this session!
 Rep Johnson get`s the prize for pitching THAT misdirecting and meaningless provision.
Translated from Texas oil-lawyer-ese it means the subsidies will continue but with a "different name"?    Rep. Johnson and Rick Perry must have gone to the same school in Texas to think they can sell baloney like that in a discussion of facts and cause and affects of the eternal pitfalls of the poorly vetted, conflicted and cartel-slanted SB21.   All the subsidies need to go away as quickly as possible. We can`t afford the SUBSIDIES.  And we are not cutting more education, health care and public safety, and raiding the earnings of the permanent fund, just to give it away to the slope cartel. Noway.


pstt buddy, you need to look  at reality,, increasing labour costs 32% in a period of 2% inflation is a very bad thing,, its not the rate its the amount and speed of the increases that go far beyond the market places ability to manage it


We don't necessarily want to know them! :-D


This just in...  A fiscal conservative who ran for office once sat on a public bench in the park that was paid for by taxpayer money.. hypocrite


Let us see: Chemical weapons depot bombed out by Israel. Good. People affected are - mainly - the same ones that want to see Israel's "deleted": good. I dare ANY other people, culture, religion or ANYTHING, to step in, and wear Israelis - Jews - shoes. Any one? For 21 centuries they have been the target of The Catholic Church, Nazis, communists, socialists, Islamic peoples. Now the same people have the nerve or calling out them out, because they have the power and will to defend themselves? Good, Israel. Defend yourself.


I wonder what you think impacts your life more, the discovery of the Higgs-Boson or the massive rate of Anthropogenic Global Warming.


Walmart is a pox on the world.

Germany got rid of them by enforcing German rules. When Walmart can't cheat, they can't stay in business.

Now Germany has German retailers with better stuff and better jobs. Win-win.

We should try that.


This is called building a straw argument and then beating it to death with a red herring. This same report, issued a year ago for the year 2015, showed similar jumps in violent crimes in CO.  How far back does it have to go before you are willing to concede this isn't about Trump?  You probably blame him for the Aurora movie theater shooting, too. PS - I'm not a Trump supporter, so please save all the whiny adjectives


You are right--and so was my source it would appear!

Wiki looks a little better when we are talking just Executive Orders and your source is official!

Obama comes in at 276 and George W. at 291 and Bill Clinton at 364.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_federal_executive_orders


Remember, our PM has had only one real skill in his entire life - talking. Therefore, he should never disappoint in a speech.

Other than that, he brings absolutely nothing else to the table. He is the epitome of white privilege - unearned wealth, boyish good looks and unbridled access to anything or anyone based on his last name. If PET was not his father, he would still be sweeping snow off a chair lift for minimum wage.

This government will never be able to deliver anything of substance. We'll all be poorer at the end of the day but I'm sure many won't mind because they feel so warm and fuzzy in his glow. So Canadian


Not true. This man has "two arrest warrants for probation violations," so, SB91 wouldn't help him get released, not one bit. This was not a nonviolent crime, so SB91's "requirement of citations instead of arrests for nonviolent crimes unless the officer feels the person is a risk or danger to the public," does not apply.

Facts. Try them sometime? More about SB91 is at http://www.adn.com/politics/article/alaska-senate-passes-criminal-justice-reform-bill/2016/04/09/


The Deputy GSA Commissioner may have said that but it is not the official position of the actual agency. An Agency spokeswoman announced that basically the agency does not and cannot have a position with regard to the old post office property until Trump's financial arrangements are completed and he is sworn in. In other words, Trump is not doing anything at this time that is in violation of anything and would not be until after he is sworn in as president depending on arrangements that may be completed prior to his being sworn in. Keep dreaming Johann.

By the way, the only way that we know that the Deputy GSA Commissioner said that is from these democrats, who have a sterling reputation for the truth and facts? Right, I will let you believe them all you want.


You are correct sir!


Yeah, let's let it come to another civil war. That makes more sense.


There goes dozens of orders for Bombardier C-series jets


I disagree with the opinion that Gov.Brown has not done much, she has done plenty.
I could be wrong but I thought that Gov.Brown has signed every single bill which has crossed her desk,. Her agenda and views don't rest easy with me, everything from the fresh and misguided gun control agenda , marijuana, minimum wage and the anti-coal bill. Yeah, she has done (is doing) plenty.
I won't be filling in the circle next to Brown in November either.


“Furthermore, on prime ministerial travel, as is always the case, the RCMP makes determinations around what is the most secure way for a prime minister to travel,” Trudeau said.
------

Like sending high security armored vehicles to India for the PM's motorcade?

Liberals didn't believe it then so they certainly aren't going to buy into this excuse now, right?  Ouch, was that the sound of 1000 brave liberal posting warriors diving under their desks en masse?

Justins claims that the RCMP told him to fly on Aggies private helicopter is as feeble as it gets.

The middle class taxpayer gets to foot the $130,000 bill for Justins lavish vacation.

BTW, was that the correct use of the words "middle class"?  I hear it so much from Justin lately.


Being asked if the PM knew of the charge is not mud-slinging.  This is the most senior position in the land for goodness sake  so asking if Trudeau knew is a reasonable question


I enthusiastically agree with your main thought but we really are kinda shallow (depth-wise) on the OL. Stepheson is the BU at LT and we only have 1 OT on the PS, (Wilkerson) who is an undrafted rookie - Ooowwie! JE is gonna have to make some potent voodo with snakes, chicken bones, toad feet and eye of newt to conjure up a LT to fill for the loss of Bolles... and with Watson on the other side, we'll need about 20 rolls of bubble wrap and a heavy duty flak jacket just to keep Trevor conscious for 14 more games. I have a feeling we may see Schofield or Sambrailo back real soon - maybe both! Buckle up Bronco fans!


If ever anyone looked out of place...........


Lots of talk, but no specifics. Tell me how do you make million dollar homes more affordable? Of course, you consult, lol.
Just wait until taxes start to rise, we'll be reminded why the NDP were left with only two seats after the last time they were in government.


President Barack Obama's political comments emerged when a gunman had killed five police officers in Dallas, assailing him for his focus on gun control, his overseas trip, and his treatment of the law enforcement community.

Speaking to reporters earlier in Warsaw, Poland, where he is attending a NATO meeting, Obama on Friday called the Dallas shooting a "wrenching reminder of the sacrifices" law enforcement makes for the American people, but also remarked "that when people are armed with powerful weapons, unfortunately it makes it more deadly and more tragic, and in the days ahead we are going to have to consider those realities as well."

Ben Carson lit into Obama within the first hour after his remarks.

I wonder if all you liberals had the same reaction when President Obama made the same style of comments?


Perhaps the poor lad was simply unaware of the controversy surrounding the use of private-emails?


That may be true in English Canada but what about in the province of Quebec where it was the Catholic church that previously controlled society and the legal system is based upon French civil law.


Don't stop advocating what you're recommending; that would be a victory for these leeches.


I do not believe this will affect the intensity of the investigations on the Russian meddling with our elections.  Congress is not going to allow the possibility that putting this aside could result in  have information come out in the future that indicates what happened during election cycle was ignored by allowing another issue to stop the hearings.

The intensity of the missile attacks on-the-other-hand might not have destroyed the base. However it certainly had to get Assad's attention and illustrate the US has the capability to do far more than talk.  How Assad acts in the future is truly unknown as he exhibits the tendencies of a mad-man who might not care if his entire country is destroyed.

Congress and not the president must set the course for future actions in Syria. For Congress is empowered in the Constitution to make the required decision.


My comment got deleted in record time.

Just like North Korea, when your views go against the official "narrative" they simply erase them.


I'm a little disappointed, but I think all would agree it's not wise to proceed on a change to the  voting system without widespread public demand.

In terms of  overall democratic reform, I hope all parties continue to look at the workings of Parliament and the PMO, with the goal of increasing the ability of individual MP's to speak their minds and re-energizing the principle of the supremacy of Parliament.

We also need to look again at party financing, hopefully reinstating the $2 per vote subsidy,  to reduce (at least somewhat) the need for constant fundraising with all its associated ethical issues and its ugly feeding of hyper-partisanship in our politics.


No, actually it is not.  That it might be is imagined.


That is certainly what every other security service around the world does, although the ankle bracelets are mostly tracking devices.
Did you just read about it in Wikipedia?


Could be they just don't agree with your point of view.


Really, EFC?  So you know each one of those people on Jay Walking and their educators?


Yep- according to the NRA my safety lies in me being armed and ready to defend myself at all times. Thought I was passed that when I left Vietnam.


Hmmm. Should I believe Sarah Palin or thousands of scientists?


frankly no one knows what is going to be happening.  Trump is mainly hot air and executive orders dismantling environmental protections.  Who knows what will happen on trade once someone tells him that trade includes trade in services and that under NAFTA, the US has first call on CDN oil in a crisis.


I do agree with the governors having line item veto power. Those R governors also own this. Mostly, in the legislature it was a pork fest with most all legislators participating.


Hughes is definitely right wing partisan.


Not really any different then many of those who have the new homes on Neighbor hood drive in Los Anchorage.Refugees who are now Legal permanent residents. There are now millions here and we continue to let them in. Now we are reaping that decision.


Zandi is just another bottom feeding. liberty loathing leftist.
 He played a big part in Hussein Obama's economic destruction of our country.


Please get these people out, of all of them, ASAP.  The Trump clan has had so many meetings with Russians, they can't keep them all straight.....


It seems the GOP obstructionists may underestimate the impact a bunch of independent voters can have in a primary.


How could tapes be a threat if Comey is telling the truth?


You might benefit from reading the articles you post.  I think your response was a little disengenious to say the least.  Per your linked article (did you even read it?!):
"...the State Department stopped processing Iraq refugees for six months in 2011, federal officials told ABC News - even for many who had heroically helped U.S. forces as interpreters and intelligence assets.'

'About 1,000 soon-to-be immigrants in Iraq were told that they would not be allowed to board flights already booked. Some were removed from planes. Thousands more Iraqi applicants had to restart the immigration process, because their security clearances expired when the program stalled. Men must now pass five separate checks, women four, and children three."

Sound familiar?  Not allowed on flights, remived from planes...


Like I said...


No. We will not be co-opted by lick spittle, Putin boot-licking toadies.


Guns make us so safe (from living long lives).


These assumptions seem to have some big holes.  Clinton's economic policies seek to pick up in large part where Obama is leaving off, and he created over 10M (that's MILLION) jobs - about 10x as many as his predecessor.  Bill created 22M using similar "building" and "strengthening" language.  Clinton also has presented plans on how to support small businesses through both increased access to financing and simplifying regulatory processes.  So while we don't know exactly what will happen in terms of future job markets, this assumption of a shrinking market doesn't have much by way of facts to support it.


It would be very difficult to sweep away ALL the barriers to trade among the provinces. It is the provinces that set the standards for licencing of professionals and qualification of tradespeople. Unless and until the provinces all have the same standards, there will be problems in getting credentials from one province accepted in the other provinces.

Similar issues apply, in many cases, to goods. The provinces set standards for what can be sold in the province, so even if it's legal for you to bring a non-conforming whatsit from another province, it may not be legal for a retailer in your province to sell the same non-conforming whatsit.


How to  spin.  Take things out of context and intent and rearrange to support a narrative.


Too bad!  No retraction.

Under libel/slander standards  a "Reckless disregard for the Truth or falsity of a subject" suffices.


The Fascist Left controls the FAKEStream media.


I agree. We gave them their own money back.


Are you his official translator today?


NOW HEAR THIS - WE ARE NOT GOING TO LET 5 POPULATION CENTERS DETERMINE HOW THE REST OF US ARE GOING TO LIVE...If you do not like the EC, then you are certainly free to get 75% of the States to ratify a change.


Interesting read on the baseballs being slick if you haven't seen this one yet. There is definitely something to it when all these pitchers suddenly can't throw or locate their slider as effectively. Seems like its definitely allowed some hitters to eliminate the slider and just sit fastball, which would make sense for some of the run production we've seen off top notch pitching talent.

They need to get rid of the bedbugs in the facility and in the possessions of the residents. If you don't, it won't matter what beds you put in there.

I wish some company would come up with a pesticide to get rid of those dang bugs. I know, people don't want those dangerous chemicals. I'd rather deal with the chemicals than the bugs. Yeah, I'm that person.


Vet all of Fang's "investors" for ties to the Chinese communist party leadership and military (one and the same, anyway) then slam him for questionable foreign government/military relations, like what's being done to ex NSC chair Flynn and so many other Trump associates.

It's no secret the Chinese are on in a rush to get capital OUT of their country (that they're so patriotically loyal to).


Seriously,  you are pathetic.


Not my Senator.....


By moving away from Eugene, I terminated the 'social contract' between the City and me.

Unfortunately, neither of us are willing to do the same with the United States so we are stuck with the spending and other decisions 'they' make at that level with which we disagree.

For me, the F-35 Fighter is the most expensive recent military spending decision I disagree with, although the useless and break-down prone littoral destroyers are rapidly becoming part of my top dislike list.


We need to cut spending WAY more than we have.  But a gas tax is OK, it would be better if it was seasonal to hit the tourists


what about your education minister allowing the TDSB to steal $61 million of student grants - is she next?


And Macleans that said Quebec was the most corrupt Province was a falsehood even after Bombardier that is charged with bribery over seas ,   the Montreal corruption trials  and the brown envelopes under the table for the Liberals ?


All of us Bill.


Where are the "psychotic killers" today who use the "Christian" "faith community" to justify their violence?   Where are Christians who throw gay people off of roofs, turn women into sexual slaves, stone people for adultery, blow up nightclubs, etc?   Where are they?


Message from the PM to all the nimbyists in Vancouver, Victoria, and Burnaby. The TransMountain pipeline expansion is in the best interest for all Canadians. You do not get a veto. Fume and protest all you want.


Oh, okay, genius. Killed? You might be a moron. So anyone who has a drink or a beer a day or a few a week has an addiction?


Owner's are probably waiting to see whether or not Gregor and his Vision compatriots get the boot in the next civic election. The City's attempt to demonize detached single family homeowners is not going over well in most Vancouver neighbourhoods. Generational homeowners resent being blamed for an affordability crisis that was created by government mismanagement at all levels.


Boom


There are a couple of international events in progress that if successful may greatly reduce the number of refugees seeking asylum. The first is the battle to reclaim Mosul, the last stronghold of ISIS in Iraq. Once they are defeated, fewer people will need to flee Iraq.
The second is the ongoing peace talks in Syria. Fewer wars mean fewer refugees.
Let's hope these efforts are successful.


My word.  Such a control statement to say.  Do people think that micro-management is the answer, because that's what they seem to be doing.  Prohibition?  Yet members of the privy counsel say otherwise, honestly, these people cannot observe and think.  Prohibition brings back, into full swing, criminal activities.  Any time a governing force try to control  others, it never works,  It may stop the behaviour at one level, but everyone goes off in secret and does it.  So it doesn't stop the behaviour.  Are they that much seduced by money to not care about people?


Y'know, I'd love to find out how to do paid-for posts!  I could use a little extra scratch especially with the Christmas season coming, and since we're in a post-truth world anyway...


Tomorrow's Globe Editorial: Trump Still Not Assassinated. Only 1,361 days to go. Sad.


Why should the citizens of Alaska pay the oil companies to take our resources.  They have had decades of profit and losses are a corporate risk in any industry.  Loss insurance shouldn't be provided by taxing the public.  This is just as bad and just as wrong as GWB bailing out the banks with taxpayer funds.  Keep your hands off the Permanent Fund legislators!


I flagged every post by Roy in this thread two days ago, and they're still flagged.  Maybe try again?


Sounds like a P.T. Barnum to me!!


Absolutely!  He is an entertainment personnality...have no idea where the business credentials are coming from.


Why is it you do not provide the facts on DACA? Obama illegally used an executive order to make the DACA program.  It was in fact a change in existing immigration laws, which a President cannot do legally!  President Trump is correcting that and sending this to Congress, the only legal place a change in immigration laws can be done!   Thank God for our President...doing what it correct under our Constitution!


TDW,

Many people think EVs offer many advantages - much lower operating costs, no noise, much stronger acceleration, no emissions and so on. Others would obviously disagree. For EVs the most important news this week is the announcement of two new battery technologies that will permit very rapid recharging. Toshiba, for example, has developed a battery that can give a typical EV 320 kms of range after just six minutes of charging. The battery will be available in large quantities in 2016.

https://gas2.org/2017/10/03/new-toshiba-scib-electric-car-battery-needs-just-6-minutes-add-320-kilometers-range/

This is not a baby step forward. This is more like the Yankees replacing me with Aaron Judge. Most EV users don't need such rapid recharging but for those who like to drive from Tofino to Truro every week the new batteries might be useful.


Indeed!  Then neither do my opinions have anything to do with hate.  And I'm a Democrat too.  And a black nun.

Your problem is that you can never admit to your hate because that's what you derogatorily accuse others of when they disagree with your hateful alt-left narrative.

Indeed!  I've accurately diagnosed gary crum as a self-righteous hypocrite based on his holier-than-thou, condescending comments in this forum.  My sympathies to those in your little circle, gary.  Your smugness precedes you.

Hate is defined as "intense or passionate dislike" which means that everyone hates, including you, Sir Gary Crum.  You can claim to not hate 24/7, but your high horse comments betray you.

Here's you Gary - "Self-righteousness (also called sanctimoniousness, sententiousness, and holier-than-thou attitudes) is a feeling or display of (usually smug) moral superiority derived from a sense that one's beliefs, actions, or affiliations are of greater virtue than those of the average person."


It certainly isn't logically valid given it ignores the New Covenant in Christ's blood and the authority given to Peter and the Apostles to lead the People of God into all truth.

Try this: Jesus only appointed Jewish circumcised males. Jewish women were not (and are not) ceremonially circumcised on the eighth day of their life. Therefore, they are disqualified from the priesthood.


Very diplomatic media responses by Coach Rolovich. Hope he is able to encourage our local talent to give UH a chance


Simply amazing!!!


tompaine II: "She and Obama have kept our troops largely at home, safe, and we have a far safer world since these two have been in charge".
I beg your pardon? What planet do You live on?

tompaine II: "As far as global government: you're entering into black helicopter and tin-hat world now."
 Oh Boy...(eyes roll) Go tell That to the people of the EU. Hillary has admitted it's what she wants.


“In America we don’t worship government, we worship God ...”

Sounds great until you get down to brass tacks. Are we to worship Trump's version of God? How about Falwell's? Thanks anyway, but I'll stick with my own and let others do the same or not as they choose.

As for 'worshiping' government, I honestly don't see a lot of that going on, despite Trump's hyperbole. We have a pretty good Constitutional system in this country and it has served us well (more or less), but I don't know anybody who has deified it. Most people understand that political machinery is only a means to an end. What matters is that we take advantage of the freedoms of our system for the greater good.

As long as those freedoms last, that is. Keep a watchful eye on those who think they know what God's will is for America. Chances are their version of that 'will' is frighteningly narrow.


The morality of people who commit such atrocities has not evolved past the dark ages. It really has nothing to do with religion. Religion is just the excuse they use to justify their murderous tendencies. They are nothing more than sociopaths with no sense of empathy for the suffering of others. They wish for nothing more than death and destruction and pervert religious teachings in order to support their viewpoint and draw others to their cause. It is no different than a cult.


It's the only place to get 100LL north of the Brooks ,south of Deadhorse and east of the Haul Road. Hope she still can run the camp. Anyone who's watched any of these Alaska Realty shows more than 10 min.knows they're fake garbage. Mindless drama for suburbanites with empty heads and meaningless lives.


But no one (other than indubitablysnarky) has argued that hurricanes have not existed in the past. Greenleaf clearly indicated that the physical expectation is that warming will impact specific aspects of cyclones. Given a changed initial state of a system, there will be a change in the subsequent processes taking place in that system.

We should not give, but loan the legislature money from the Permanent Fund.  3% interest/10 year payoff structured accordingly. That's just to balance the budget this year.

Next year if oil prices remain low, we the citizens of Alaska will consider refinancing.  You have to pay it back eventually Senators, Representatives and the Governor.


He's upset that he didn't win the popular vote, so he's trying to show that he should have won that too.

Keepitsimple is using the academic psychology definition of a phobia.  And he or she is correct.  It is very sloppy English to call hate speech 'islamaphobia' imho, even if the Oxford dictionary has decided that so many people misuse this word that its meaning has changed completely.  The way Oxford defines in your post, it is not a phobia at all!


Because Foreign ownership has to be banned and the liberals' deep ties in China are not really that legal here.


The PM will thank the Senate for its work and file the report away and do nothing other than focus on gender and other politically correct issues that the Armed Forces are supposed to be deficient in. Do not expect any truly significant expenditures needed to even maintain the current deficient situation of the military. I've said it before the procurement system is not broken it is working precisely as governments have wanted for many decades. I hope I'm wrong but I really doubt it.

"While the U.S. is the primary source of the deprivation, it is reasonable to infer from the uncontradicted evidence before the Court that the statements taken by Canadian officials are contributing to K’s continued detention.  The deprivation of K’s right to liberty and security of the person is not in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice.

"The interrogation of a youth detained without access to counsel, to elicit statements about serious criminal charges while knowing that the youth had been subjected to sleep deprivation and while knowing that the fruits of the interrogations would be shared with the prosecutors, offends the most basic Canadian standards about the treatment of detained youth suspects.

"K is entitled to a remedy under s. 24(1) of the Charter..."

“Our task over the next few generations is to transform the world of independent states in which we live into some sort of genuine international community. If we succeed in creating that community, however quarrelsome, discontented, and full of injustice it probably will be, then we shall effectively have abolished the ancient institution of warfare. Good riddance.”

― Gwynne Dyer, War: The New Edition

And if we don't, we're doomed. I don't see any way that we will find a way to abolish warfare unless humanity gets a lot smarter and fast.

Go Trump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


We wandered in after visiting the DAM this weekend. I was surprised at the changes since I'd last been 6 or 7 years ago. I agree that it was largely carnival fare. I spent $10 on tickets when we entered, and was wishing for a refund.


Where did Justin Trudeau come into this.  Was he quoted too?!  Must have missed that part.

But check Trudeau's finances first.  You'll discover no "multi million dollar bubble"  inherited by the three sons from Trudeau senior.  But then myth and sarcasm seem to be the nature of  political discourse today.  Pity.


What struck me from this and other articles (one example: http://money.cnn.com/interactive/media/the-macedonia-story/) I have read pointed to a similar trend.  Those fake news mostly are pro-Trump.  Aside from the Kremlin preference of Trump for political purpose, the other fake news machines like those coming out from Macedonia wouldn’t care less about who won, their eyes are only on the money they made by the viewers clicking the advertisements and sharing their fake and sensational news.  They found the pro-Trump ones, no matter how absurd, always earned them far more money than pro-Hillary or pro-Sanders ‘news’.  It said a lot about at least some of the Trump supporters - gullible, reactionary, ignorant and total lack of critical thinking and they are encouraged by this administration.  When fact is treated as just a matter of opinion, we all lose because at the end of the day, a banana is still a banana not an apple and you know it when you bite the ‘apple’.


For someone who is critical of food prescriptions, you say some kind things about the Mediterranean diet.
Perhaps you are not aware of the NEJM study DIRECT. Which compared low fat, Mediterranean diet and ketogenic diet.
In virtually every realm of markers that matter in my opinion the Ketogenic diet outperformed the others. Lower triglycerides, higher HDL, lower Creactive protein, smaller waists, lower weights. Lower HemoglobinA1c .
And for a diet that can't be adhered too, this was a 2 year study. Sorry the low fat diet high carb diet was the poorest choice.
Are you sure you have the level of understanding to be critical of this way of  eating for life?


There is a plenty of bullets- silver, plated, hollow tip, and yes magnetic rail guns are magical, but echoing unfounded statements originally made by some housing representative about silver bullets for housing solutions is well, unfounded. We are doing the same few basic things every other city has done and putting our own unique twist on them thinking we'll witness different results.

Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result - according the Einstein poster I see too much of - is insanity. So try something new. Maybe even take a step back and ask if your shooting the right things and fighting the right battles, because if everyone wants change yet no one wants to try something new then you'll just waste a bunch of ammunition shooting the clouds- magical bullets included.

Jody's trolling so I figure I can too- it's an equal rights thing.


He may have been born here, but he wasn't Canadian. He spent most of his life indoctrinated to hate our country and our way of life.


Who's getting personal? So far you've called me ignorant and short-sighted. You can claim that you were referring to my arguments and not to me, but we both know that's a cop-out.

Promoting an environment in which women and minorities are welcomed is encouraging. You are simply wrong to claim that it is patronizing. The system is stacked against people who are currently underrepresented, because people tend to hire others like themselves, as studies have also shown.  For example, see this. http://healthland.time.com/2012/12/10/so-much-for-qualifications-employers-hire-people-they-like/. Note this passage: "Employers sought candidates who were not only competent but also culturally similar to themselves."

Claiming that it is patronizing to help those in need is ridiculous. Otherwise, we would consider it patronizing to give a drink of water to someone dying of thirst.


"We have to pass the bill so we can find out what's in the 20,000 pages of regulations."  -  (D)Nancy Pelosi

Did I mention that ZERO Republicans voted for that train wreck?


Unfortunately we all suffer because Bozo the Clown wanted to flex his power 8 yrs. ago.  Want to stop this fiasco, take away their government (that we pay for) healthcare and put them in OUR healthcare system that they passed so they would know what was in it 'cause it was to length to read at the time.  Typical government reporting, write a encyclopedia, confuse the hell out of everyone then pass the bill.  Hope Bozo the Clown gets a major sunburn where he's at.


And Sullivan's good at throwing it in the honeybucket.


Um, UPX Bloor Station is nearly half a kilometre away from Dufferin Station.

The UPX Station is the same as the Bloor GO station stop, near Dundas West Station on the Bloor line.

I would agree with you, especially in regard to leaders and all Christians "leading by spiritual example." That's the bottom line, Shar_M. I was in three countries in Europe the last week and a half. One can't help noticing how secularism has taken over there, especially in northern Europe,  despite churches doing all they can to accommodate the population. The Anglican Church in England, for example, has bend over BACKWARDS trying to accommodate their flock -- allowing same sex civil unions among their clerics, openness to contraception, women bishops and priests, etc. -- yet still keeps crashing (hemorrhaging at more rapid rate than any other European nation -- dropping by 50% in just two decades). Even with their 26 unelected bishops sitting in their legislature/Parliament -- at the very top of the power structure -- they haven't been able to stem the drastic decline.
So what you say counts: holiness, spiritual example, simplicity, honesty. All the other changes don't seem to work.


The conservative philosophy believes in equality of opportunity (for all) and meritocracy.  Racism and "victim politics" (whether claimed by a white supremacist, or by another "identifiable group") are completely contrary to those views... a true conservative therefore is colour-blind, gender blind and expects the smartest, hardest working, most gifted person to receive the greatest success.  The US and Canadian MSM seem to have a hard time distinguishing between conservatives and racists and will often try to lump them together under the "alt right" banner, so I hope that helps.

With that clarification, conservatives also believe in free speech and free assembly to protest, so both groups should be permitted to peacefully assemble, But as soon as either group resorts to violence, police should intervene immediately. The Canadian authorities are responsible to provide Peace, Order and Good Governance. Let's see if we can be more successful than our American cousins.

Tobacco is highly addictive - it took several efforts before finally quitting. I took oxy for severe arthritic pain for over 3 years and it took one day to quit. One night of restless sleep. No desire to take it again other than for pain.

There's a conspiracy led by the medical elites to end opiate prescriptions for pain relief. it is behind all the deaths from street drugs, as doctors cut off patients. They blame addiction when in reality it is pain that makes people go back to these drugs. I was lucky to find doctors who gave me Medial block injections, trigger acupuncture and Tylenol 3 (which is far worse on the body than Oxy.)


"Civil Beat was told it would not be permitted to cover Pence’s meeting"

I do hope it wasn't because Civil Beat allows raucous democratic debates and discussions by having a comments section to it's news reporting.
 I speculate that the NSA and the 16 other intelligence gathering agencies have fine tooth combed through CB comments section and decided it prudent to insulate VP Pence from vegan peaceniks, anti-statehood rebels, borderless dreamers, PC resisters, arm chair generals, surfers against political sewage spills, and senior citizens who aren't going to take it anymore.
As long as Civil Beat allows the voices of the little people who can see the hypocrisy of those in power in both the state and federal government, and express their individual views that combined make a democracy, then those in power will not permit CB to cover their choreographed meetings and Potemkin pageantry.


It appears that this guy reflects the actual mindset of the people he represents. I don't find this surprising. I worked for years with same "tough" fat guys in ties. They were very successful (until they died of heart disease or cancer)and that seemed to be the only thing that anyone really cared about. I don't think this will ever change, at least in this country.


IRT Gail Tagashira, I respectfully disagree. I think red light cameras are badly needed. Any driver can see that more and more people are running red lights and many times it's not even close. I've seen drivers hit their gas pedal easily 50 yards before entering an intersection that has already turned red. Prolonging the yellow light, which has already been done, will only give the drivers more reason to think they have more time. If the program cost LA $1M each year, I think that's a reasonable cost to hopefully start slowing some of these people down. Even if many of them win in court I think the inconvenience of going there will slow most reasonable people down.


You must be fun at parties.


This has nothing to do with protecting the British taxpayer. The Gard’s have raised the US equivalent of nearly $2 million. They could take their baby to America at their own expense. The state refuses to release their own chid to their care thus denying the family the ability to leave the country. It is about forcing all subjects to submit to the power of the State. This should not surprise us. What do people think happens to a child when it traverses the 7 or so inches down the birth canal to be born?  When it becomes permissible to kill the child in the womb, it will become also permissible to kill the child outside the womb.


It's great whenever a competitor is able to take on Air Canada. As it is, Westjet is a much more customer friendly airline than Air Canada (you know, our "national airline" whose corporate motto might as well be: "the airline where we treat our customers as the inconvenience they truly are").


It wasn't really my choice as a child to attend church, we were going.   Young minds are less rational/experienced based than adults.   There is also a popular sermon in many church's encouraging followers to be 'like children' in the way a child explores and doesn't question the possibility of God.

 I used to sit in church and pencil draw a stained glass portait of Jesus that covered the front of the church.   I would swear he winked or waved at me.   I was a child.   Our 'child' inside remains but no longer dominates us.   Life happens and shapes our world view.    But of part of me still reacts to the smile and those open arms.

Have you ever met a person who just seems calm in most any circumstance?  I have - I'd like to be that person - I'm not all that close at 62.   LOL


Khizr Khan is an Islamist who brings terrorist sympathizers to the US.  He should have his travel privileges reviewed and revoked.


I'm tired of hearing about "sexually violent predators" being released on our streets.  Lifetime supervision doesn't sound like a bad idea to me.  The only problem with this law is people who refuse to implement it.


trump's words are shameful and abhorrent. However, remember what he does, what he has spent the last 30 years perfecting: anytime there is something to hide, trump does something outrageous and gets everyone all fired up, to make people forget there are other things going on at the WH he doesn't want the people/media to readily see.


Sure. The "thought police". You realize "they" can't get you if you keep your stupid ideas to yourself?


I assume you know this because you have directly experienced it.


"The Doral event represents a potential avenue of influence that is unique to Trump: the chance for a corporation to engage in a private business transaction with the president."

I thought this was illegal?  Swamp draining may arse.


Oldpup, so what, the argument is not "don't help them" the argument is that $6,000,000.00 could have been used to house a lot more than 20. This is a stupid wasteful spending. It has been pointed out that a larger house cost's less than 300K so why not buy them something cheaper? Something that takes 10% of the maintenance cost?


Hopefully, Trump's Wall will be visible from the space station.

Hopefully, he will not put his name on the top of the wall.

"These referendums were seen as democratically sound by the Japanese prime minister.

That was ex-Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama (he was Prime Minister for 9 months in 2009), and he spoke only for himself.

The Japanese government disassociated itself from his remarks.

His brother, Kunio Hatoyama, said in a television program the former prime minister should have been deprived of his passport.

Vice President Masahiko Komura said the trip was “regrettable because it is incompatible with the Japanese position that it will never recognize any attempt to change the status quo by force.”

Japan and other Group of Seven nations — Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and the United States — condemned Russia’s annexation of Crimea last March, calling the action a violation of international law.

Japan, and the rest of the G7, don't recognize the results of a referendum  held at the point of Russian guns.

Accuracy counts.


Did you not read the title of the article? It is about the G20 meeting and the important issues to be discussed. There was no mention of our prime minister.  The logical conclusion is that he is  irrelevant when it comes to important issues on the world stage.


graykeeper just keeps shoveling it out there.


Trump's strategy is quite simple: whenever he hits bottom, he keeps digging!
At this pace, no doubt he will reach the antipodes very soon.......

Well, FPTP is not a failure. It also doesn't encourage divisive politics. If it did, Harper probably would have won in 2015, and Justin would have lost. I agree with your example of the Bloc forming official opposition, and you are right that would not have happened under PR. However, official opposition is not a position holding any real power - only a few procedural advantages over other opposition parties. That period of time also reflected a very divided country and Quebec on the verge of separation. In other words, it was a somewhat fitting result.

If you are an NDP supporter, don't despair. You almost won under FPTP - and maybe someday you will. If you are some other fringe party, my suggestion is that you make yourself more popular to the point where you can actually win or at least threaten to win in some areas. If you can't do that then I don't want you having a seat in our Parliament.


Solid reply.


People are so quick to accuse others of being a troll merely because they disagree, or to claim that posts are snarky or sarcastic.  None of this leads to a frank and open exchange of idears and discussion of things.  I also note how many people just post their opinions as fact, without references or citations.  Of course, many people are just upset when they are condemned and judged by faithful catholics, who are merely doing their best to apply the rules and doctrines of the church to other peoples' lives.  Sigh.


Gosh, I follow my own judgment. As, in fact, do you, Trid. Your judgment tells you to follow every belch coming from a Roman throat as if it were the word of God. My judgment tells me to use my God-given intellect when the magisterium speaks.

It is a untrue to say that I castigate those who disagree with me. I do castigate YOU, but you are not "anyone and everyone". I believe that your unquestioning attitude is an example of the sin of sloth. You are letting others make your decisions for you, which is what got Adolf Eichmann in trouble. You take an attitude of "God gave us reason, and then doesn't want us to use it".


I suggest before you completely dismiss Trump, you read the book The Clintons' War on Women by Roger Stone.  Don Trump with all his worts, is wide open in his thoughts.   I do not necessarily agree with his approach or presentation, but I believe he is picking a cabinet that has high moral standards and commitment to change how Washington performs.   When you read the book on the Clintons you will find  a devious, manipulating person.   It suggests to me the election of Trump was a major rejection of Hilary by most Americans except those in California(also known as LaLa Land).  The corruption that the Clintons have created in the Clinton Foundation is hard to fathom.   So to many Americans they see Trump's election as a first step in cleaning up the corruption that exists in Washington.   We will better see in a year or so what the style of Donald Trump achieves.  The mass media needs to look below the surface before throwing stones.

 I am hoping that The G&M will do that.


that is a great question? i am just curious as i'm sure there has been some discussion on that.


The claim of "fairness" is ludicrous! How "fair" is it to equate a salaried employee with a business owner/risk taker who is not able to enjoy the benefits and security that comes from the employment provided by the business owner? And if Morneau is so concerned about such "fairness", why has he not eliminated the gold-plated benefits and pension plan that MPs get? They are certainly not available to the average person. Or how about equating the incomes, benefits and  pension plans available to government workers with the average salaried worker in Canada? And while we're at it, how about making sure that the total income taxes paid by any two spouses are the same, regardless of whether the income is earned by one or both of them? There are many more important areas of "fairness" to address. Why isn't the media picking on some of those noted??


Call me old fashioned, but why does everything need to be 'leaked' before the announcement?


If you want the details of this Alaska story go to the NY Daily News or many other national news sources. ADN?

Consumers will eventually regret their support for online shopping over local brick and mortar businesses.

Mayor Gregor and his cronies have no idea how to properly run a city.

He's a complete fool and needs to go.


who would have thought the architect of D-Day would be so indecisive now.


There is a cure for that.


Justice must mean full disclosure of what happened and measures taken so very. It also involves proper punishment of those who callously took the decisions and some of those institutions who maybe benefited. This must mean jail in some instances, major fines, suspension and dismissals.....The same should happen iro Marikana ...the police killings!

In this instance it does not involve anything more than basic compensation to family members as they were not dependent financially on those who died... A family member last night on Carte Blanche was suggesting R30 million for each deceased.... bizarre!


The problem with a private company is that it can easily avoid important protocols to prevent the spread of invasive species of plants and animals. It'll be a repeat of the Super Fairy.


I'm not American so I don't really have any investment personally in any of that.

However, I am a Catholic and I can't wait for Francis to rid us of the ultra-conservatives. I hope he does it starting with Burke. These traditionalists have made a mockery of the Church and turned it into a freak show. He should not waste this opportunity. Then the Church can stop selling its soul for power, prestige and wealth and get back to a gospel of kindness, compassion and sharing.

On top of that we can finally drop the legalism and the anti-Kingdom focus on the letter of the law. I hope Francis fills the college of Cardinals with Servants rather than Princes who will change the face of the church and the world for ever.

Then perhaps conservatives in America might see that their ideology has nothing whatsoever to do with Christianity and that the recent affront to the term 'election', will never happen again.

This ruling may be a reversal of the Marxist liberal's agenda to oppress Christianity in the U.S. Christians have been ruined economically by LGBTQ-S&M SEX PERVERTS who sued them for refusing to participate in their sex perversion.

6. That huge immigration numbers to Canada (300,000+/year), most heading to one of the 3 major cities, is a good thing and  most Canadians support this.  Sometimes there seems to be an almost frenzied push by media to convince us that this is a great and glorious policy.  No political party of any stripe ever has a meaningful debate about this (haggling over the paltry number of refugees we allow in is not the same thing at all).  And most people I know - of all political stripes, and even relatively new immigrants - think the numbers are way too high.

Most of us keep mum about this because to read our media, this means that you'll be labelled xenophobic or racist or some other nasty thing.


JPZ, you're exactly right.  Choose respect WAS a ploy and a fraud.  Parnell had THAT general at one of those rallies at the same time he was covering up the sexual assaults in the National Guard.

McGinty and Wynne uploaded and they take the heat for it driving up the deficit and get none of the credit from the municipalities (see Ford saying how he was fiscally responsible when uploading ODSP funds saved 100s of millions).  Funny how that works.


This is a people problem not a gun problem.... When you have bad people it doesn't matter if they have a gun, a knife, a bow and arrow, a stick, or a rock someone's getting hurt.


Misallocation of police resources and a failure to touch the social issues behind terrorism at all, are the obvious culprits. To my mind 3,000 possible troublemakers can be watched closely but you can't do it with 18th C policing techniques and by continuing what appear to be overtime grabs when nearly ten times as more officers show up at accident scenes than are needed. Most of these officers need to be 'following' the troublemakers, using 21st C. investigative techniques.


I wonder how long stump will remain silent on this. And I wonder how long it will be before the Right Wing Noise Machine finds a way to blame this on Obama (or Hillary, or Pelosi, or .... anyone but the cons).


Great game, lots of end to end, fantastic tending duel. most exciting 1-1 game of the year. Someone had to lose and the leafs get a well deserved POINT, both teams PP bit the dust


Chapter 19, which sets out an impartial dispute-settlement mechanism

which United States governments have routinely disregarded in the softwood lumber dispute only to resurface on specious trumped up charges


Bill Clinton apologized for his actions, he said he was" profoundly sorry for the burden he imposed on Congress and the American people."

his 60% approval rating was an indication of the collective loss of IQ points of the American populace. its indicative of the fact that you view politics as a team sport.

it goes hand in hand with the portion of the comment that you failed to acknowledge.
why are GWB and his administration vilified even today for actions of over ten years ago but when BHO administration does the exact same thing you give him a pass? not just a pass, you are carrying that vile woman to the white house on your shoulders like some hero.

the double standard is very telling.
people don't care about the country, they care about there damn team.

we are living the movie Idiocracy!


I wan't impressed with the start to the game. But I was really impressed with the response after the flyers scored first. OK, so that's just another win vs a team behind them in the standings. The Leafs need to keep this going against all the teams that are behind them in the standings. I counted 6 out of 8 teams they should be able to beat coming off the western road trip. That's very do-able, especially when you're in a playoff run


To compete against quality programs,  the Team needs to pick it up  -- big time!


Congrats to the dept on their windfall. I didn't know epson salts were a controlled substance;I'm glad it is now.


Declare Kent a "Safe Space Community" and then cut back on public safety costs.   Seriously adding more fees onto license tabs is a dreadful prospect considering the onerous ST3 debacle.


Actually tg101, the equalization discrepancy you refer to ($60 billion to Quebec alone) is vastly overstated.  See G&M economic analysis written by Trevor Toombe (a U of C economist) that was in this paper about two weeks ago.


Funny, a lot of right wing people I know go to church and would NEVER gamble

So.....Mr. Paddock would be a left wing terrorist according to your logic


Another Alaska mobbing. Those happen frequently in many ways to destroy lives. How did a kidnapping not result in a charge and intervention of some kind? Some of us know how the justice system in Alaska is used to harm good people or torture those who have been traumatized so what in the hell? Most of the crimes are committed by sociopath/psychopath types. There should be evaluations done when certain types of cases are charged by competent practitioners, yes I said competent because there is a competency problem among MHPs in Alaska. When a psychopath is found and their possible specialty is kidnapping, murder may be close behind. Sociopathy can be the fault of the environment but psychopathy is related to a brain problem, so it does not matter the environment. Parents are often left begging for help with the kid and ignored until it is too late. Of course a psychopath in a bad environment can grow up to be quite evil. There is a broken justice system in Alaska.


...and, as it turned out, the so-called "lugenpresse" was telling the truth.


Hillbillies? Really? You think that is who elected the best President we've had in decades? The 80's are calling, the USSR collapsed, and Russia is no longer our mortal enemy. And by the way, "war" can be used as a figure of speech, not always to be taken so literally.


From https://cruxnow.com/vatican/2016/11/20/pope-francis-calls-abortion-horrendous-crime-grave-sin/

'Francis also said he has an “allergy to adulators,” insisting he prefers criticism to praise.

“To adulate someone is also to use them for your own purposes, whether hidden or visible, but in order to obtain something for yourself,” he said.

“Critics speak badly of me, and I deserve it, because I’m a sinner,” he said. “That doesn’t worry me.”'


You bring up a great point, near downtown street speed limits should be much lower, 20mph as the default, 25mph for exceptions.  This would make Denver much safer, making people feel more comfortable riding bikes and drivers more comfortable around bikers.


The daily one-note republican fascists commenters hammering away at a non-issue settled in millions of dollars worth of non-hearings.  The suers are dedicated Republican fascists feeding on the carcasses of their sons to further their own traitorous interests.  One more misuse of a justice system overloaded with frivolous suing.  Trump's own words declare his disdain for any laws of any nation; just the type of tinhorn dictator idolized by these inane tweens and scofflaws.


So, you say.


All those poor lawyers suffering from lack of work will now have plenty to do. I read most of the Bill, C-45 and so much will be struck down, fixed before passing hopefully in committee.


Prior to Obama you must have missed all the race issues in the country or you would not make such a rediculios posting.  Apparently all the preObama race issues were imaginary.


Team players should be on board with Dr. Livingston, whose desire to preserve and grow America's medical-pharmaceutical-insurance complex while protecting its trade secrets and price-structuring from prying public eyes should set an example for everybody.

After all, "health care" is one of Alaska's only two growth industries. Productive Alaskans should be forced to pay whatever is necessary to keep the industry growing and prevent losing $2.8B of Medicaid funds, perhaps through a Special Health Insurance Tax.

Of course, any "discussion" about giving Alaskans access to the same health insurance, at the same cost, as their congressional delegation should not be allowed.


this president has been lied about over his comments now goes to the real people who count , the voters who will see him re-elected in a landslide


Because anyone who agrees with Trump is a Russian.

Grow up.


Amen!


Justin is taking the correct stance on this. The US had a lot of gall asking to have Chapter 19 eliminated just to cater to special interest groups in the US (Lumber).  Some people are never happy until they get their way.


Trump is pro-life, except in all of his actions.


Agreed.  I for one am relieved and encouraged that Papa Francesco has a Sicilian watching his back.

In an age where the pope's enemies weld political stilettos and attempt to stick the pontiff between the ribs on the internet, it's reassuring to know that Francesco has come to this Vatican political knife fight with a fellow Jesuit who knows how to “to bandy crooked words with a witless worm.”

My Calabrian grandfather would have said of Spataro confronting the pope's detractors:
"Peh la vucca pati." ["You will suffer by what your mouth has uttered."]  That would be Calabrian for "you will suffer the consequences." Bravo, Antonio!


The Broncos have 3 QBs that combined couldn't fetch a 7th round draft pick.  Getting really tired of hearing "the offensive line is better than last year...we promise."  In Elway We Trust?  Notsomuch.  Whoever's in charge of scouting talent needs to find a new job.


This insurance company is actually really good: http://www.broadwayinsurance.agency


You're 100% correct. And now with the DOC taking over treatment instead of contracting it out to professionals, it'll fail miserably.

Most prisons in Alaska have zero treatment programs, despite what the advertise on the DOC page.  That propaganda is just there to lull the public into thinking the DOC is doing something.  The prisons that do have them are limited to a very few inmates.  PCC - which was closed down - was one of the few treatment-oriented prisons in Alaska. The corrupt and ineffective superintendent - now at Point McKenzie - should have been fired. But word has it she's sleeping with a highly placed administration official, so she gets a pass.

She'd do well in Trump's White House except for the fact that she's far from a "10."


I used to dive from the bridge and swim the Ala Wai.  Used to crab there all the time.  I miss that.  The worse we got back then was a dead body dumped in by the Syndicate and putt-putt boats with a colored light on the bow.  Then it became polluted.  I don't think it coincidence that Ala Wai's rise in pollution is directly proportional to the rise in Honolulu's population, that in turn, is directly proportional to the soar in land prices and property taxes, that in turn, are directly proportional to the escalation of utility costs, all of which dynamics had changed open marsh Ala Moana into a concrete mega-malled shopping complex, dumped a Magic Island right on top of South Shore's best surf spot, and alienated so many locals from Ala Moana Park....and then, from Honolulu to live in Las Vegas.  There's just too many people competing for too limited resources.


Well done Senator Sullivan.


Obamacare was great... for Obama and insurance companies! For us , normal hard working Americans was not so great. I'm tired paying fees to government because I'm not able to afford insurance. I think Obamacare is unconstitutional and against human rights. Hopefully Trump will end it, at least a fee part of it


Agree and agree! I love race cars! Dragsters and Formula 1 in particular.

Have a great day and thanks again for my laugh.
"Hire that kid-he's got talent!"  Indeed!


One of the biggest problems in Alaska is people CHOSE to live in places with no economy.  We have 120 towns/village will less than 1000 people.  We have 76 villages will less than 400 people.  The state simply does not have the money to support all of these locations.  There is no real way to force people to move and it's a free country, but we need to stop subsidizing places that will never hold there own, or at least make them pay more than they do now.   And I'm not just talking about native villages, there are places on the road system and in SE that make no sense.  The PDF needs to go away before we pay an income tax.


The state and DHS only care about taking children away from families to get more dollars. If you didn't know each time a child is taken especially infants they get an incentive worth thousands of dollar.s


Ahh, JeffCo Library, where a lack of integrity gets rewarded! Sleep with your employees with impunity, sleep with your supervisor to get a promotion!

It is mystifying but the public are convinced we need the Senate. They are a drain on our taxes and I resent someone can get a job like this. They are a complete farce and the Senate should be disbanded.


[According to Title 8 Chapter 12 US Code 1182 paragraph f]
Let me get this straight.  Because you can argue federal statutes, which are inferior to Constitutional provisions, the previously raised arguments based on the Constitution are not "reasonable?"  And that you are now qualifying your statement of "banning Muslims" to mean banning some but not all Muslims, such as those who have not entered the US legally or are not US citizens?  Perhaps you should pay a bit more attention to what you actually write if it does not sufficiently convey what you actually meant.


Buh Bye.......


With Toyota the number is between 500 and 200 dead Americans.


Jeez, just admit it. You don't like HC so trump can do no wrong, right? What exactly would trump have to do or say to cross whatever line you don't seem to have?


Call the police.  You're probably a democRAT who voted in your 'leaders' so stop whining.

I would very much like to see, and hope a cardinal would, start a movement (by example as well as in the Council of Cardinals) to replace the historical regalia of medieval princes, with far more simple dress.  It would be a real and genuine sign of service and de-investing oneself of the long-gone imperial, monarchal Church.  And as a by-product, it would help stop the laughing in the back rows when the cardinals appear in their lace and bright red cassocks.  And the hats.  Above all, they would mirror what Pope Francis has been teaching us all by example for over three years now:  simplicity in living provides a richness of the soul.


LOL taking away his gun rights wont affect on his ability to acquire a gun LOL


Whatever Charley W.. But yet I step out my front door in Eagle River 6' and was charged by a monster Brown boar at 50' a few years ago. People have good cause to be  intimidated and wary by the takeover by bears due to the huge bear sanctuary surrounding the MOA. The best comparison I can conjure is like being surrounded by a bunch of serial killers, you just don't know when and where they're going to strike.   If I had a choice of how my ticket gets the final punch, I'll take a bullet any day over a bear mauling.


Trump shows up on the world stage and can't resist playing to his domestic base as a two bit thug. Yes sir, Mr. President, make America great again! Meanwhile, the world is laughing at you. What an embarrassing  jerk.


It however a fault to presume authority on any matter/issue of which we are ignorant!
If that is the case, there is very little on which the bishops of the church can presume authority.


Most of us?  Who is it that prefers an alliance with a tyrant than with Great Britain?  Really, Pandora, this is just silly.  You are going to lose Trid's support if you badmouth his homeland.


You're from a culture where jokes are unknown.


What would we do without the UH?  They contribute so much to our community


Sorry, no "spittle". My lips were dry when I typed that, and they remain dry now.

You seem to disagree with me. That's fine. But tell me just what Trumplethinskin HAS done to earn any respect and maybe I'll change my mind.

You see, he DOES lie - constantly, incessantly. His policies are NOT consistent. He disparages NATO, and has his lacky, Pence go to Europe to assure them that 'all is well'. Which is it? He says the mass deportations will be a military operation, and yet his latest General adamantly denies it. Which IS it? He said he'd stand up for LGBTQ rights, and yet submits horrid proposals that do great harm to them. Which is it?

Go ahead and refute anything I said instead of just hurling insults at me. I backed up my statements. It's up to you to refute them if you feel otherwise.

P.S. I've got dozens of more examples if you haven't been paying attention these last 20 months.


The shawinigan strangler was the worst PM Canada ever had.


so you have your 5 or 6 pet peeves and that is your whole universe and because you don't like how they cover those issues you think all media is evil and biased against you?

Hey buttercup, it isn't all about you.


What a sick mind decided to do a poll like this? It is like asking
- Should we catch and prosecute shoplifters OR forgive them upfront keeping in mind their poorness?
- Should we call a police when spotting an intruder in the house?
- Should  mothers feed their babies?


I am not surprised that you couldn't answer.  Thanks for the verification.


keystone was approved in canada long ago with harper, today by trump in the usa.


I agree in premise with this tax but it was to much at once, increases should be incremental.


There you go again with your ignorant put-downs.  Try really hard to show some intelligence next time.


Cronin, Vavi, Malema, Nzimande ad Mbalula are the reason we have Zuma as the president The are the people who went around airbrushing Zuma when it was already obvious that he is a flawed character. Rather than go around telling us how bad Zuma is (which we knew before he became president) the should just apologise and shut up.


It's called personal responsibility.


Since when does California support other states?. It was just a few years ago they were the worst state in the country financially and held that title until Emmanuel  and other Dumbo's broke Chicago. Now they are the second worst state out of 50... financially.


For a president that is plunging in the opinion polls you'd think he would keep a lower profile and restrain from tweeting unsubstantiated comments. But, I guess The Donald wouldn't be the man he is today if all along he'd simply told the truth and pursued honest business practices. It's all of America and the world that is held hostage to this outrageous character.


Another great story from Mr. Carey.  Keep going through those boxes!


Health Authorities need to get their spending under control. I agree with the libs stance, their tactics of one day are a little off considering they expect the provinces to tow the line on carbon tax.


The current imbroglio in South Africa has three main culprits namely KPMG, Gordhan and Rupert. The truth about their actions must be revealed. Now they are behind closed doors planning to grab the SA economy by the neck.


I'm proud to have been a part of the vendors that were there. These people were so wary anyway, it's really heartbreaking to see such emotionally broken people. They deserve our love, compassion and inclusiveness, not our scorn and ostracism.


Keep trying... By posted, I meant posted a story as in published. Besides that was in 1971, and yes they did screw up big time.


Who's doing all the laundry today?


The coalition also mentioned heavy lobbying and political donations, about 92% of w about $5million went to the BC Libs. . I doubt very much that "new regulations are being recognised as the best in the world"; if they were why are these organisations writing the government?. Canada's mining sector in general has a very bad international reputation which is why so many mining outfits from other countries are registered here; the regulations are pretty well non existent, and despite our so called concerns over human rights as long as violations happen a long way away, in Ecuador for example, we seem to remain unconcerned.

Djou is running for a four-year term. Any extensions would have to wait until the current mess is resolved. No matter who wins this race any discussion of extensions are at least 8 to 10 years in the future. The current focus is to make the existing "white elephant" work for the people of Oahu. Djou will focus on the current crisis with honesty and transparency, allowing the voting public to make decisions regarding further rail allocations and construction. An extension of the current elevated project along Nimitz Highway to Chinatown or Aloha Tower Marketplace will salvage this "white elephant." From there, Djou will leave it to the voters to decide how to proceed. The other two candidates are swimming in quicksand as any further unraveling will turn off the majority of voters against rail and other transit projects for good. We need a fixer for the present crisis now. That is Djou.


I guess for us old fogies who don`t "tweet" the link doesn`t work.  I heard her invite industry to testify during "public comment"... as I watched the meeting on gavel to gavel.  Funny how Exxon` "tax guy" was right there first in line in person...and dodged every specific question asked of it. But not the boss who could have answered those unanswered questions.


In the 90's, Alaska had produced oil at $12/barrel. Adjust for inflation, perhaps $20/barrel would be similar. Sky isn't falling.


I am excited that Team Redeemed Teen Center applied for Best Start for Kids funds that specifically addresses these issues. We need a collective plan that involves our youth leading this work!

When will this big baby take some personal responsibility for his actions instead of blaming everyone and everything around him? The majority of people - in America and globally - are already sick and tired of living with the effects of Trump's sad pathology as his sinking popularity polls show.


What's truly telling is that conservatives attack this bill for - get this - not being AWFUL enough.

Why do people keep voting for these awful people? They want to transfer more money to the donor class, and make all of our lives miserable. Haven't we already had enough of Ronnie Raygunomics? The wealth transfer to the donor class has already been staggering over the decades since Ronnie, and they want even more to stuff into their gaping maw, with an assist from the cons. MAGA?


I don't recall that.  Do you have a source?


Pavelec must be laughing


He's been in the legislature too long.  Time for Maui to elect someone else to represent their interests.  Apparently, he hangs on to his seat only to serve his own interests while feeding off the taxpayer's trough.  He has made a mockery of being a legislator.


I would argue "not necessarily".

A MBChB degree is a double bachelors degree - Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery.

Nkosazana Zuma is also a qualified medical Doctor (she qualified in the UK).

One view I have read is that an IQ of 132+ is required in order to qualify as a Medical Doctor.

A Medical Degree is no guarantee of sound judgement, or a well honed moral compass, as the examples of Harold Shipman and Joseph Mengele illustrate.


This should clearly be a slam dunk tax I have never seen a liberal ever pass up a chance at a new tax.


do you honestly think terrorism will end if settlements are returned. The Palestinian problem is what allows the Arab world to behave as they do. It is a great excuse for 9/11


How is the logic twisted, exactly? Resource production, company profits, and individual incomes are taxed, which is then spent on social programs, innovation incentives, etc. It never ceases to amaze me that this simple fact is always forgotten in the sustainability debate. AND that so-called environmentalists never have a satisfactory answer on how we replace the jobs and incomes of the resources industry. There is an answer, but complexity rarely serves partisan purposes.


hab: Doesn't matter how a spill happens, it's a spill. If we get many of those then there's 'no doubt' the oil will get delayed, whichever transport mechanism is used. Delay is easy - just enforce more safety checks.
The better answer is to ensure no spills happen, but also to convince BC they won't.
And as I posted, Alberta companies are doing a lousy job at that.


Nice article!  Since the Media Summit just concluded and this QB was picked as pre-season offensive player of the year, I think it was quite timely.  Appreciate hearing about what's going on with other MW teams.  It's almost like watching the local sports news and only hearing about St. Louis Cardinals because of one local player hits 1 for 4 or threw a player out at first.


The U.S. Supreme Court ruled many years ago that flag burning was a political act and so had the protection of their Constitution.  Dissenters are not wrong in worrying about the consequences of dissent - especially as Trump will make stacking the Court a priority over the next four years.

Sacrifice for the country last happened in WWII.  Dying in Iraq simply means you gave your life to the military industrial complex of the US that exists to make lobbyists and CEOs rich, by the blood of the unquestioning masses.  The war was pointless.and a huge waste and veterans should be ashamed they were duped into thinking there was honor in Iraq.  Trump is right that this Muslim woman doesn't talk enough.  She should have talked her son out of going to die in a war of stupidity.


Mr. Trudeau is vunerable on this issue. The question is whether the public has the attention span to understand the tax implications for how a testamentary trust works. I doubt it.


Actually nothing like it at all. Nice try, though.


Speedbump?


Yup. They brought along the kids thinking they could live off the PFD, like the probably could "back home", and finding out they can't, crime is the next best thing to working! I wonder how many state welfare dollars and USDA dollars are going into that neighborhood.  I know there's some good families there...but why? Is Mountain view really the only low rent in all of Anchorage? Seems no amount of manicuring can change that place.


There is a story here, but the Globe and Mail didn't say anything about that story.  The story should have talked about: Why is it that a Canadian scientist who has plenty of problem insects to study in Canada, is going down to Southern California to study an economically insignificant insect down there?


That's just another Conservative fantasy, Jack.

CTV might have found out about it a day or two before it was due to be announced, but it's simply not legally possible to hide the fact that an ongoing civil action has been settled.

And that's some blanket the media is trying to throw over it - with dozens of articles, columns and editorials.

Cardinal Mueller has diplomatically refused to butt in and clarify what the Pope intends in AL  Yet he has already concurred with the interpretation of Arcbishop Chaput and Bishop Conley quoting the 1994 Declaration of the CDF and Pope St John Paul's Encyclical, Familiaris Consortio. He can hardly now espouse Kasper's and Schoenborn's interpretation.
I imagine that his resignation, forced or voluntary, would damage Francis far more than it would himself.


Trump picks the Guy who as a presidential candidate himself stated that as president he would eliminate the Dept. of Energy. When further questioned, he couldn't  remember the name of the Dept.

It looks as though Trump is keeping his promise of finding jobs for those who are technically unemployable! Well, except for Christie?
No matter how unqualified, corrupt, or connected to special interests these nominees are, None can "trump" the President Elect in incompetence and ignorance!

bingo - the true analysis


Nobody is under the AHA.


Of course man made climate change exists ... in the urban centers!  With industrialization came urbanization, more paved roads and more buildings that are "heat sinks."  It's a scientifically documented fact that the average temperature in the cities averages about 3-degrees higher than the surrounding countryside, and in some cases 10-degrees higher.  The vast majority of the temperature data is collected in the urban centers, because nobody wants to take a couple of hours to drive out to the country to read a thermometer every day.  In other words, the data is gerrymandered to fit the AGW agenda, but it really has little or nothing to do with CO2.  The rise in CO2 has always followed increases in temperatures by and average of 800 years, and no less than 200 years. It's an effect, not the cause.

If you want a better climate, move out of the city.  The number of hurricanes to hit the US has been consistently between 1 and 3 per year since 1880, with a slight decline in frequency.


yeah, coastal strike. Are we planning on invading New York city? Because if we are, better get the refueling tankers up in the air. It will take 3 refuels for them to get there and get back to base in Quebec.


Until the cultural ideology that "same-sex inclinations" are "objectively disordered", and that gay love-relationships are "intrinsically evil" is dealt with, there will be no hope of inclusion of LGBT Catholics as equals at the banquet table.

So he took $1,000 per person out of the economy with this year's PFD cut and now they want that and another $1,000 per person in taxes.  All this and still won't commit to stopping the oil credits.  I will not vote for anyone who OKs this proposal.
