What are the solutions to vote suppression?
.
1.   Get rid of FPTP.  The sooner, the better.  Most important step in protecting democracy.
.
2.   Until (1), have non-partisan redistricting.
.
3.   Mandate Elections Canada pro-actively to maximise voter engagement and participation. Register every voter.  Make it easy for every voter to vote.
.
4.    Make vote suppression - in any form - a criminal offense.
.
5.     Outlaw data mining, browser tracking, and automated narrowcast voter targeting = criminal offense.
.
6.    Give Elections Canada criminal investigation powers - and a budget.
.
7.     Enforce the Fairness Standard in all media - including Facebook and Twitter.  Require the identification of paid trolls and their paymasters.
.
8.    End the charitable status of churches.  It might be hard on real churches, but deliberate destruction of democratic institutions by the Republican-financed-church-racket should not be subsidised by taxpayers.
.
Protecting democracy matters.


Actually the second amendment was designed to act as a check and a balance against the government and it was set up using military weapons of the time not sporting ones.  It’s not about hunting it’s a deterrent tyranny


So you're saying that because they merely have to stay where they are, we should take them. The others who had no hope to get out of that exact same place you don't want to bring here?
We as a nation are not responsible for righting the perceived wrongs of nations an order of magnitude larger than us.
The rest of your comments are just speculation, most egregiously "not applicable to future years, as the US will no longer be conducting security screening" which seems not to be stated anywhere at all in the article, you appear to have simply manufactured it to try and support your position.
And for the third or fourth time:  how much are you willing to borrow from your grandchildren and where will you put the extra refugees?


Once governments choose increased taxes over restrained spending, all taxpayers, from the so-called "wealthiest 1%" down to the lowest taxpayers will become trapped in their higher tax plans. Canadian taxpayers will soon come to loathe the day that Justin Trudeau became PM and the completely ill suited Bill Morneau became Finance Minister.


Why do they call them "conservative groups" when there is nothing conservative about them? They are "extremist groups" whether they be left or right.


Hi, B.Carfree. I work for CSky. The compensation and benefits are good for the local tech sector. The company prides itself on the much-longer-than-average retention rate for employees and the top talent that we've got, and the compensation is definitely part of it. Good perks and flexible work environment as well. Eugene is a great place to live and work, and CSky is doing its part to make it that way.

We're busy to the point of not being able to take on all the clients who want to work with us, and expanding our team is part of our strategy for this year, as mentioned in the article. Specifically for the projects mentioned, Python/Django, JavaScript/TypeScript/Angular 2 developers who want to work in high-impact open source, we want you!

I work. Save money. Hire drill company. Pay them $7000 for a well. Build DEC approved septic system 3 times over 35 years, $20,000+. So they raise my property taxes. Even though they supply neither water or sewer. And some people in the village and State government think those people who pay no taxes should get free water and sewer as a God given right? Subsidized phone, subsidized electricity and Federal and State grants for water and sewer. No Borough, no taxes. I'll say it. Subsistence on what? Somebody else's money. And we make these improvements on what has been privately owned lands. With no tax base, no returns on investment. Only continuing operating cost?  And Davis Bacon wages on that. $50 million dollar runways for 50 people? $30,000/ student for one semester?  Do the math.  Apply cost benefit/person. See if it makes sense. Things are going to change fast folks. Get ready. PFD gone entirely, income tax, tax on everything. People will then stand up and speak out. It is over.


Yes the Pope living Christ's example of turning the other cheek and caring for the poor and less fortunate.

Left of center for sure.


So that means you do think the US military were "scumbag criminals" when they helped pull down the statue of Saddam Hussein. Good to know.

Sorry all your racist monuments are coming down. I guess we'll see you at the broadcast of the next "Unite the Right" rally where you and your alt-right neo-nazi buds cry about losing your monuments to racism and tyranny.


In an earlier article the Trudeau government is said to be looking at buying jets from Australia to put pressure on Boeing to drop its suit against Bombardier. Now, "Ten Canadian-based aerospace companies..." have been induced to campaign for the government to endorse buying Boeing jets from the U.S.  Sounds like a little P.R. going on here on behalf of Boeing.


Incumbents out!
Even if means enduring a slew of tax-and-spend-o'crats!
The Great PFD robbery must NOT go unavenged.


One thing is absolutely certain whether Trump realizes it or not.... China will never bargain away Taiwan, no matter what threats Trump makes.
Trump has absolutely no realistic  leverage to apply. Boycott Chinese goods or impose tariffs? China will simply find new emerging markets in places like India, African countries, and South America. And if not, they'll simply suck up the losses. It's not like their government is accountable to the people so there will be no political pressure. And in the meantime, American consumers will find that the things they buy regularly will suddenly become unaffordable. Add to that the loss of jobs in retail as businesses go broke because their customers can no longer afford to buy their wares and Trump's promise to create jobs falls flat.
China, like it or not, is not a country that can be bullied.


Since the 1990s, eligible voters in the country of Mexico (i.e., persons of age 18 or greater) have had to visit an electoral office and be registered into the electoral census in order to obtain a voting card issued by the National Electoral Institute (formerly the Federal Electoral Institute). Those voting cards are government-issued photo IDs, credentials that citizens are required to produce at polling stations in order to vote in federal elections in Mexico.
But in the USA you are a racist if you require photo ID? Only to the Alt Left!


If Edison Chouest has a mishap, is Resolve Marine the default knight in shining armour?


Regardless what he may or may not of said during the campaign, that's not what he did.
85% of Muslims don't live in the countries he targeted.


I have been radically sensitized to racism.  Paranoid, in fact.  But every time we try to explain the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii by haole business men from America, Germany, and other European countries, we get trump-ed (forgive the pun) with the "race" argument.  And the illegal act by U.S. supported troops get shouted down as racist.  So, am I being overly sensitive to your remark, yes.  It was not so once upon a time in Hawaii.  I mean no disrespect to you, personally.


Lots, which is why I got out of that line of work a few years ago, and El Guapo 66 is spot on.  you can always tell the chief's house, it is the biggest with the most toys.


Pretty simple.  Here is how it works.  How well can you negotiate.  If you want to blame someone blame the board of directors of those companies or even the share holders who ultimately approve or disapprove the contracts.


Curious that the authors cite and defend a constitution written centuries ago as long as it supports their political view point. The same constitution gives rights to bear arms to ordinary citizens causing thousands of firearm fatalities every year. It also grants its head of state the right to declare and wage foreign wars and suspend civil rights in the interest of national security.  Should we conclude that the US constitution is a failed instrument and that its Citizen rights provisos should also be subjected to modern scrutiny ?


I think the question ls whether Junior is up to the job of PM. I have a feeling that he won't last even a single term. He has put off a lot a issues since the election, but eventually you have get off the fence and I don't think he has what it takes to make the tough decisions and take the heat that is inevitably the result.


Stockholm is the Venice of the north. Just watch out for Russian submarines in the archipelago.

Clearly the author has no idea what the average citizen thinks.  She is reading a different page from a different book than everyone else. The problem is that she does not even realize it


Lovely fluffy syrupy comment. No endorsement?

It took eight days after Trump's inauguration for Gallup to take the poll. The election results say Trump had majority disapproval on election day.

What are the odds this investigation only turns over Arizona, USC and two other programs?  Other schools may be implemented.  Oregon was one of the many stops on Brian Bowen’s nation-wide recruiting trip this past summer, which allegedly ended up with Bowen committing to Louisville in exchange for $100K.


NO SH1T.


OHA's failure to effectively focus on native Hawaiian issues may be due to the fact that it cannot legally address issues just for Hawaiians. It is an entity that is for all Hawaii citizens, including non Hawaiians. Monies collected from native Hawaiian resources ( i.e. ceded land leases) are really going into a different pocket on the same pair of pants. OHA is a State owned office,  taking native Hawaiian resources and utilizing funds acquired from these resources for the general public is wrong. OHA is a facade that has kept native Hawaiian resources truly in control of the state. We Hawaiians often sing songs about unity but fail to work together due to in fighting between native Hawaiian groups. Until Hawaiians find leadership that they can all rally behind, the State will continue to own what truly belongs to the native. OHA has not been able to gain the trust and following needed to bring the hawaiian together.  The "Office of Hawaii Affairs" serves all with native asset funding


Sorry but I couldn't locate the final source, went through my Google search list but no luck finding the  article. In general found estimates from 2009 but thought those to old. Continued and  found an article with more recent figures. This is what and where it was but haven't been able to find it again. It was punlished in The Washington Post as a follow up to a Trump Speech and checking the figures re: cost. The article gave the breakdown of tax dollars paid in as well as out. I don't know if those details were in the speech but the Post indicated it wanted to confirm the stated $113 Billion cost to taxpayers. That was the total cost but the article explained that was a cumulative cost and further noted the actual cost. 113 in total paid out by Fed's, States, Locals. Illegal's paid $14 Billion. Leaving 99 B. Of the 99 B the States and Local Governments paid out 84 B for Education and Health Care. Fed paid out 15 B but article did note for what. Hope you can find it, I couldn't.


Pearson did very little in comparison. King oversaw the greatest expansion of our economy and our rise in the "world" as a relevant nation in the thirties and forties. Pearson was only PM for six years - I think.. That was during the Liberal Party's "overspending" sixties. You speak of troubles in Quebec for King. Well, Pearson's government was in power as the surge of nationalism and terrorism in Quebec came to be. Did he handle things right at the time? I dunno.


Even if bloodlines prove connections to old owners doesn't make them the owners now.  If I found an old car title from a car my great great great grandfather owned in a drawer, does that mean if I track the car down today I can just hop in it and drive it away claiming I own it now because he once did?  How silly.


Interesting how G&M dropped the picture of Trudeau sitting sweaty palmed beside Trump

Notice how they changed the pic?


So the story should have been titled "Rich people live longer".


Gov. Walker is courageous and he is doing what he thinks is best for Alaska. Unfortunately, the legislature has tied his hands and forced him into making decisions that hurt poor and middle class Alaskans while leaving affluent Alaskans unscathed. Disgusting.


Vince Fennimore cruises through a variety of innocent sounding obfuscation until he arrives at his real intent and conclusion in the last paragraphs.  Anti-abortion at any stage of embryonic existence falsely portrayed as based on a government founded on judeo-christian heritage, Declaration of Independence, and Constitution.  Blatant lies to support failed attacks, including murder,  against the right of women to their own bodies.  The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were crafted, written, and signed by Theists, not all christian participants.  One more example of historical revisionism to falsely support an anti-human rights agenda.

One word of advice:  Don't follow the lead of DIA!


Maybe in your subjective view.

From what Jesus noted to Peter, that God's views & human views not necessarily the same.

What God said to Samuel in judging on appearance, 1 Sam  16:7.


I heard on the news that the driver of the van was passing cars in a no passing zone.  Therefore it's good that the lowlife driver of the van died.  The roads are safer and the world's a better place now that that loser is dead.  Hopefully the driver of the other vehicle recovers.


Hey Ryan, don't go to the games. We wouldn't want you there. How bout condemning college partying and drunkenness that leads to these rapes. Quit blaming ALTMAN for Austin's crime.


Free speech is a fundamental right in Democracy. When people try to suppress speech, then the right to OPPOSE is lost. Dictatorships around the world survive because nobody is allowed to OPPOSE them. If ADN gets away with SUPPRESSING SPEECH then people will learn to accept it as NORMAL. Once the public accepts that SUPPRESSION OF SPEECH, is normal, then it will only be a matter of time until a DICTATOR emerges. We should NEVER ACCEPT, suppression of FREE SPEECH, anytime or anywhere.


Look out!  Mayor Burkie will be reaching deeper into your pocket.  Maybe a city sales tax to offset the cut, eh?  You can only increase parking fees so much.  Hey, how about increased police ticketing of speeders and red light runners?


A few judges and a single question could get through these in a week.  Question:  Are you here illegally?  If yes, deport.


I have a mixed feeling about this article. Yes, it is unlawful to cross the border illegally. However these people are desperate...


obviously you don't understand your post hoc fallacy.


Formal science education and well versed in science issues.   And I've done pure research.    Thanks for asking.  Right now I'm in a different field because of the economics.


Dan Hibs, citizens protesting IS free speech--that IS the whole point of our First Amendmenment rights. The first Amendment protects us from the GOVRNMENT taking this right away. This is a VERY important point to understand about freedom in America. Tell your friends about it.


@ Boots
What did Crooked hiLIARy do WRONG??!!! News Flash!!! I want to see what she did WRONG...let's go back to her birth!!


I guess doctors should have been judges instead :)


The appearance of slavish adherence to a failed president is just pathetic.  Charismatic, maybe; articulate, particularly when he had his que cards handy; con-artist money launderer?  OK, so how did he manage to enter office a mere well off man whose career as a community organizer sure must have paid well, and leave it a multi-millionaire?  As for money laundering, Obama relied on Hillary to do his dirty work in that area.


@Steve_85: Pretty sure a lot of people have had a problem with the electoral college going back to at least 2000 when George W. Bush "won".


Kevka: Do you deny that there was Russian meddling in the last election?


I'm so glad that Pete Kerns, Police Chief of Eugene does NOT chase cars eluding unless it's a felony.


Mr Kienberg,
  We don't have a common sense president in office.
  We have an incompetent lunatic in office.


God has already made clear what He has to say on this issue.


Why is the left so intolerant of normal America?  It's values, family, and way of life?


Hope that one day if you ever need an entity like the ACLU and you're flat broke, don't go crying for ACLU support.


My deepest sympathy to friends and family of Ricky John Best and Taliesin Myrddin Namkai Meche.
To Talliesin's mom: your tribute to your son is very touching. I am sorry for your loss.


One of the best reasons I can think of that would disqualify him.


If anything, Trump likes Trudeau because Trump is fixated on celebrity culture. And in case you haven't noticed, Trump doesn't care about policy. He only cares about being the center of attention. It is interesting that the two leaders who outsmarted Trump's handshake are the two Trump now says he likes (Trudeau and Marcron... and the two with the most celebrity appeal).


The pulling down of the pants and bending over by all the proposals is downright vomit inducing.


This historic Election is a direct repudiation of the Obama presidency, and will now be set in stone in the history books.
He finally has his legacy now,


President Trump's tweet was simply an inference that led anyone to run with it as they want.  Mr. Comey fell for it. As a result, Mr. Comey did something pretty dumb by indirectly leaking his memos to the fake news media.  Mr. Comey also divulged a lot of information that supported what President Trump was saying all along and dismissed the libtard left and fake new media's narrative that President Trump colluded with the Russians to influence the presidential elections.  Mr. Comey's testimony showed there is "collusion" between the dumbocratic party, the media, and DOJ.  Lastly, among other things, Mr. Comey's testimony showed how he plays both sides of the political fence, which ever side suits his needs.  All this because he wanted to CYA after learning of an inference that his conversations may have been memorialized in a recording.


iwanaknow>  Funny, but mostly disrespectful at best!!!!  You should stand in front of the mirror in your home and sing the National Anthem 100 times a day in order to forgive yourself for your disrespect to the nation you live in, huh????


Take another look and viewing of tRump's comments, Deal.  But ya gotta pull your head out first.  The analysts have it correct.  tRump is bragging about how he likes to grope and rape women anyway he can get them; even buying a married woman furniture.  I can picture tRump dragging that married woman over to the bedroom furniture and giving her a one arm toss, watch her bounce, and then he pounces and doesn't even care if anyone's watching.  That's how sickopath tRump is.


"Sales taxes are being paid by consumers." - yes, very true. In Oak Harbor's case, most of the consumers get their paychecks from the federal government through taxation.

"Bob, you haven't shown us anything except verbalize your beliefs" - well maybe you're right Ken, but then neither have you , even with your impertinent references of 2009 payrolls for the entire Naval region and defense contracts and whatever else you put up that doesn't fit the argument here.

One thing is certain - a recent article in this paper made the remark that unlike Oak Harbor's economy being totally dependent on the Navy, Coupeville's is based on agriculture and tourism, which yes, I do believe.


I've often wondered if people who express views like yours and Ryan's have ever experienced severe pain or severe chronic pain.  It's easy to look down on those whom you cannot relate to.


Good article Ryan - I can envision the use by real estate as  being one of the greatest benefactors by producing photos for buyers and sellers to use in making a sale. Agricultural use would also be phenomenal as would be roofers, etc.  As always, someone will ultimately push the envelope and necessitate some additional rules, but that's expected.  I certainly hope we embrace the new developments and not resort to the very popular, "not in my backyard". posture, that us folks in the islands often resort to.


Well, I don't know about salmon.  Too much opposition here, and the farmed salmon markets are already filled.  But it would make a lot of sense to produce other fish, including freshwater fish.  We have a great opportunity with arctic char and whitefish.  As the markets for seafood expand, 100% of the new market will be filled with farmed product.  The perfect opportunity to diversify the Alaska economy.


Yes, that is correct.


Sounds to me like NEPOTISM is a serious issue in Denver. Is everybody some higher ups sister or kid? No wonder you can't fire incompetence in this city, it's all related. And Stephanie O'Malley? Stop riding dad's coat tails, you've got no business running a safety department. You have the chief and a senior commander under investigation for deception and now this? Fire O'Malley already!


COTTON: Let's turn our attention to the underlying activity at issue here. Russia's hacking of those e-mails and the allegation of collusion. Do you think Donald Trump colluded with Russia?
COMEY: That's a question I don't think I should answer in an opening setting. As I said, when I left, we did not have an investigation focused on President Trump. But that's a question that will be answered by the investigation, I think.

Either Mr. Cotton knew Comey wouldn't say no (which leads to endless  speculation) or he's not real bright.


If they even suspect there is a drug issue, they treat the patient differently. I have seen it happen, and they can be quite rude.


One big difference between Trump and Obama is that Obama came up from fairly humble beginnings. Obama was always somewhat startstruck, as he remembers looking up to stars as people who had made it at a time when he hadn't. Impressing those people and making them happy, and feeling that he's joined them has always been more important to Obama than the concerns of the average person.

Trump is the opposite. He's been both successful and famous for a long time. in his world, he doesn't look up to stars, stars look up to him.

Obama is a symptom of the Democrat's problems. They used to be Party of the Working Class, now they're the party of rich elitists. Except that Obama personally had the charisma to pull it off.


Here’s one example of why accepting face coverings in public is not a great idea:
https://youtu.be/yB9J51MA8uw
It’s a Toronto Police press conference. Two individuals walked into a jewelry store wearing burkas and cleaned it out at gunpoint. They were not muslim women, but allowing a segment of society to normalize such clothing created a situation where the criminal’s “disguise” raised little notice or suspicion as they travelled to and from their mark and made them near impossible to identify. I believe the violent crime remains unsolved.


Mustard Gas is not a weapon of mass destruction. Cheney and Bush lied to the world using Powell as their scapegoat. "Curveball" ring any bells? He was the fictitious person that " gave" them the inside information they used to facilitate the war on dandruff. We helped Osama defeat the Soviet Union in Afghanistan with the use of stinger missils. Saddam was a codifying force and our buddy also so to speak. Bush, Cheney, Rice, Bremmer, Wolfowitz all concocted this scheme. Just like the Anthrax hoax a week or so later.


"Alaska Rep. Don Young urged the group to keep provisions he backed in the House version of the bill, halting federal hunting regulations in Alaska... and allowing several dozen American hunters, including two Alaskans, to bring home polar bear trophies legally taken outside the U.S."

And that, folks, is why he needs to go.  I'll bet Murkowski would like to slap him for adding that kind of wedge nonsense to her bill.  No matter.  It's probably dead in an election year.


Wow!  The twists and turns of the socialists in their mental gymnastics to convince themselves that the issue was something more than banal is astounding.

We are to believe that the incident was banal, but commencing an engagement with the premier with the words, "I would never vote for you . . ." is something less than partisan?  The premier was right to end the engagement in a friendly and prompt manner.  Anything negative that has occurred since is the product of the NDP social media team attempting to build faux outrage amongst the slacktivist Twitter and social media set.


That perfect union ....I guess that meant white people only.
So looks like they are just getting back to that.
They got what they deserved ....Donald Trump.
It's Canada that should be building a wall to protect a truly great country.


"...better mascot."

I agree.  Looks like something out of the old Captain Kangaroo TV show.  Of course, maybe modern day teenagers like that look.  To me it just looks stupid but, then, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.


I agree and would say the same, "Who wants to buy fresh produce when people with who knows what on their dirty hands paw's through it". Not me.


" If a 99 people out of 100 jump off a cliff, I'll be the one that didn't. Clearly, that is what I think."

You'd be second...C'mon...Admit it :O)


The two terms are not mutually exclusive. Trump is egregious in both modes. In fact, he rarely says anything true, and never, to my knowledge has admitted being wrong. Never saying you're sorry is the prerogative of gods. There's even an amusing and scholarly discussion of the topic of lies vs BS: https://www.stoa.org.uk/topics/bullshit/pdf/on-bullshit.pdf

You may peruse the astonishing list of the Mad King's falsehoods I previously supplied, but please don't bother offering in response the worn-out deflection of badmouthing Obama and the Clintons. Those sins shrink to insignificance by comparison with Trump's heroic efforts, and it's time you boys tried to live in the present. As for the cynical promises Repuglicans, and Trump, the faux-Repuglican, have made, they are destructive and wrong-headed promises that may yet be their undoing. I did get a hoot out of "energy liberation," though.

I've had occasion lately to study the Japanese healthcare system, which is not without its problems, but which manages to stay afloat by negotiating reasonable fees with insurers and health care providers -- which is something we haven't done well in this country. As long as a colonoscopy costs $5,000 for a one-hour procedure, we're not going to solve the problems. If the govt. could partner with private industry to provide basic healthcare at a price that rewarded providers without enriching middlemen, reform might have a chance.


I had read the story, so media covered it at some level.   It is a beautiful thing and a solid show of what I believe is the moving of the spirit drawn toward love.    Religions are human institutions that discriminate as to who receives God's grace or love.    There are those of us who feel that is a gift available to all people, regardless of religious affiliation, even in the total absence of any religious inclination.

It's a rare and beautiful moment when people are drawn to the universal values of love and compassion, minus the labels.


Some women want to be "ogled", do you disagree ? And if one of my boys took a picture of your daughter I would do it for you !

I would support you on that point Richard on the discovery that the noise is being made for purely political purposes as opposed to fundamental disagreements with the rulings...perhaps the next article writer on this issue should ask the candidates their reasons for arguing that they'd enact section 33 in certain circumstances....

Annulment.  A way of granting a divorce while pretending it's not a divorce.  In the past reserved for the wealthy and powerful (poor Henry 8, his wife's family had more clout), now available to a wider audience.

At various points JPII and Benny issued directives to ordinary clergy that they must wear clericals at all times. It was an instruction that many started to ignore round about the same time that public awareness of the abuse crisis peaked.

The assault is a heinous crime but the obstruction of Justice is another.  The only way to bring the witnesses forward is to remove Cpl. Mark Ramos from the Police Force and Charge all three of the culprits with the crime. The DOH, DHS and Child Protection Services are also suppose to investigation and remove all the other children from the Nursing House until an investigation exonerates them for their own safety.


Nobody but nobody portrays what Cosby and the like have done as worse than murder.  Get a grip.
What is still beyond reason is violating the victims a second time and in public.  That has to change.


Rahm Emanuel is Jewish and not of Mexican "dissent." You've probably never been to Chicago and you don't know what you are talking about: a true Trump supporter.


Age requirements.


The Clinton Foundation employs people, has financed access to clean water for thousands of people, hasn't been flagged for audit by the IRS and has received the highest ratings by independent charity examining organizations.

Trump used his foundation as a pass through and hasn't put in his own money since 2008 or so.  Comparing foundations side by side with the same criteria, it is clear that you are either blind or willfully ignorant.


This is a language that Trump understands.


Nope.  And someday we may get to apply that version of the Monroe Doctrine to other planets as we.
Bring Back the Star Wars Initiative Now!!!

Yipee-yi-yo-ki-yay.


Well, not in Canada.  The media, including GM,  do a very poor job of monitoring the government or exposing corruption of the parties.  They are only good at reporting what they were fed by the political parties to push the parties agenda.

That is incorrect. Revisionist history is dishonest history. It is history which erases key facts and replaces them with pseudo-facts generated by an ideological outlook.

Did somebody kidnap the real Jimbo5? I have a recollection of intelligent comments from you but not so much lately.


So many new and increased fees have been proposed, but not one change in real property tax exemptions is being considered.  We annually subsidize millions for business clubs, labor unions, credit unions and historic homes, but no one (other than two recent real property tax advisory commissions) is willing to talk about removing or reducing them.

The NRA actually DRAFTS our legislation, then bribes/threatens and punishes any politician who gets in their way.  Then they "sell" fear to the illiterate brain-washed white-trash living the  idiocracy utopia - too dumb to know what just happened. This is politics in America.

Now the NRA extends the olive branch of "allowing" the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms to "review" bumpstocks (READ - WITHOLDING THE ISSUE FROM CONGRESS)
while thinking this will be "enough" to appease the "libs and dems?"

Think again.

Mr. Svendson (Skin in the Game) repeats a position often appearing in these letters that is simply wrong and then confuses it with paying Federal income tax: only the 50% paying tax will pay increased property taxes. There is no connection between liability for property and income taxes. If he means people that don't own real property won't pay real estate taxes, then he must believe all landlords are kind and don't pass increased property taxes on by raising rents. The only (large) group that escapes the property tax are our homeless.  I, for one, don't envy them this benefit.


Any fool can declare invading North Korea or parts of the mid-East is how America will return to being great.  For in most cases the fools making the claims have their own agendas. Some are the high ranking military who can only get promoted by being in combat. Others have incentives to see huge increase in military contracts for arms.  They sell the invasion(s) on how easily the enemy will be defeated and the cost in blood and treasure minimal.  Yet, history has shown it never quick and easy or without the loss of our troops and billions in cost.

I expect Congress and not the president alone to determine the overall needs to protect the country as necessary and not simply to make points for the next election.  I will not simply forget that during the last administration Congress would not support a presidential request for approval to expand the actions in the M E as being necessary.  What I am hearing now is rhetoric from Congress that does not tell us why the need is different.


Where was the good guy with a gun? Now dozens more bad guys will get yet more guns. Yay NRA!!


"President Obama used it to call the House of Representatives out of its summer recess in 2005 to pass an emergency spending bill after Hurricane Katrina". Is this a joke? Really?  And you call yourself a Dr.? In what?  Such a shame.  Correct me if I'm wrong, you said, the president is the one who can call the house out of recess, Obama couldn't have done it back in 2005, could he? You Sir are not ignorant..... You are a joke! You should stop writing. What is left is for you to accuse obama of starting WW 2.


South Korea is prepared to accept all refugees from NK.


Nor are there any "good guys" in this, gray---at least, not on the national stage.  It's interesting that Obama didn't immediately act to scale back the largely unchecked executive powers built up by his predecessors, but he didn't.  The War on an emotion continues, and the casualties include American privacy, many of our freedoms, and the right to confront one's accusers, to name just a few.

In that light people like Assange are providing a public service, part of which was in revealing that, under Clinton, the State Department used its diplomats as spies and intelligence gatherers---As if they weren't compromised already!

If what Assange reveals somehow throws the election to the circus freaks, well, that's the price you pay for deceiving the American people.


We call that "dodging the question". Let me see your tax return that indicates that you donate YOUR excess funds to homeless people. What's wrong? You're only charitable with other people's money?


By the skin of their lucky teeth, the Buffs avoided dropping into the Bottom 25 for another week.  However, this week they get to face an angry Washington State team that will remember last year and coming off an embarrassing shellacking by Cal.  Three wins over bad teams and a gift in the CSU game.  The rise has become The Plunge.

Defense is mostly about effort and CU's defensive team gets and F-.


They better tax weed the same as alcohol and tobacco, weed will remain a controlled substance under Federal jurisdiction, the only difference is the decriminalization for personal use part.


No, it's not funny, it's depressing that hashtag activists defend a symbol of female subjugation and social regression that is only common in societies where homosexuals face jail or worse and it's not a coincidence, the niqab is part and parcel of a fundamentalist belief system - this is true all over the world, without exception. European countries who share Canadian values of gender equality and LGBT rights have implemented even more strict bans because 15 years of hoping for the best and attempts to "accommodate" a regressive belief system only empowered religious fundamentalists. The community segregation and division throughout Europe speaks for itself. The fact that the niqab is not common in Canada is a function of progress.  The founder of modern Turkey implemented strict secular rules in a majority Muslim country that held for over 90 years and it's taken one Islamist government under 10 years to regress Turkey into an authoritarian regime, go figure.


It was in reply to NP5491, not brad12.


My mistake, when I read the headlines I thought it was an article about the mayor.


How about at the new LIO building?


another Francis effect...wake up Popes (real and emeritus) shepherds priests and religious, faithful Catholics have had enough of your attempted destruction of the church, your heterodoxy, your turning the other way as "faithful catholic" politicians keep going to communion while supporting all sorts of diabolical practices, of protecting priests that preyed on the innocent, of supporting dubious social justice for all but unborn babies cause, of irreverent liturgies and of basically being CINO's, ..our support is going elsewhere to true shepherds, priests and religious orders who still teach and defend the faith, enough is enough!!!!


Too far away - not worth the traffic, heat, noise, parking, etc. OK if you live on Piikoi St.

Why, one user who changed his name is ... LifeoftheLay. I think he should be sanctioned for such blatant dishonesty.


So he was married into a known terrorist family.

Then he goes backpacking in a Islamic terrorist warzone.

Sounds more like he went there to join the Islamic terrorists!

So why would we want another potential Islamic terrorist back in Canada?


This is especially good for our Armed Forces!
Mr. Bannon has been a really immature presidential 'dizzippointment'!

Give you lots of money and benefits ... oh, the horror


the punk revels in the many lives he's destroyed and now his aim is helping trump's dirty work, he's worse than any murderer


I don't know....if the tables were turned and some dude said "check her out",,,I can't imagine what bodily feature would prompt me to think,..."yeah,..I got to see that!"....no way...as a matter of fact when ever a hot celebrity passes away,...regardless of how hot they were,,,they ALL are kicked of my "spank bank"....I.e.:Mary Tyler Moore the most recent to be retired....too much information?


All the fake news that's fit to print. Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of hacks.


The Chumpsters are drowning and are reaching out for anything that is floating. For them that is Hilliary because the Chump is drowning too.


You are totally misrepresenting what went on in this video.   In it, Uhler offers to put the woman in touch with LTD's ADA specialist, so that the matter could be resolved.   He did not assume anything.

If she wanted to resolve this matter, then why did she not agree to meet with LTD's ADA coordinator??  She offered no proof, no evidence of any kind to the security officer that her dog was a legitimate trained service animal.

To compare Uhler's actions and demeanor to Nazis and the old Stasi Secret Police of Communist East German is ludicrous, in my opinion.  I very seriously doubt that a person tortured and abused by Nazis and the Stasi would say such a thing.   It makes no logical sense at all, to me.

Most studies show that decriminalizing/legalizing drugs and moving from prosecution to rehabbing people who have  problem actually decreases abuse and hence saves us all money.

(C) "worse" - how so?  Please tell us more!


Trump supporters need to realize that their suggestions about how to conduct themselves after a Trump presidential loss is not a revolution. This hypothetical movement should not be characterized in these terms. This is anarchy and is uncalled for in this day and age. Many brave Americans died and lost their livelihoods fighting for our great system of democracy that Trump supporters are taking for granted. I suggest an international field trip for these out of touch, fringe minorities. North Korea should be the first stop. Maybe then you will stop complaining about "how unfair your government is and how intrusive it is in your daily life."


agree.  Trump has been exposed as a phony who misled millions of voters with his rhetoric about helping the poor and middle class.  He aims to destroy all but the rich.  He is enriching himself and  his family at the expense of the public.  Very sad for America.


As an Hispanic man como_estas, would you not feel threatened by ICE stopping you asking for your papers?


Sheesh when I was in middle school (not too terribly long ago, early 1990's) a simple fight got you suspended for a few days. That was IT. You learned your lesson and didn't have to have your life ruined over some trite BS. I see now that if you're a kid and get into a fight, cops will arrest you, charge you with a felony, and smear your character... Damn near two weeks after the fact!

School-to-prison pipeline in stark affect! Absolutely disgusting...


Homer again. What a laugh.


If you think that in America black men and women are admired while "rich white girls" are despised, you've never heard of OJ and the Kardashians.


US has every right to build a wall, but to force Mexico to pay for it is wrong. With DJT trying to turn Mexico in to a economic waste land will only cause more Mexicans trying to jump the wall. It wont keep them all out.


Our hearts will forever be sadden yet you will be FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS.... Thank you for being you.  I remember when papa made you your rocker you and your boots, your smile your glow Kyla you are missed...... Love you!!!!!! your Uncle,


Actually the one who made the lives in Alaska isn't Trump, but Lisa. Also he hasn't leaked any classified information, you can't give any examples on this. It's clear you're brainwashed by the fake news media.


Relax, sit back and watch the American Economy take off as we become the chief energy producer in the world.  Our low priced energy and steel making coal production will supply the materials to rebuild our infrastructure.  The poor in this country will be able to afford light and heat.  Your half right... he doesn't care what leftist commies think.


I have always been interested in the psychology of this phenomenon--many people going "ga-ga" over celebrities, wanting selfies, invading their private space, etc..

I apparently lack that gene and tend to look upon actors/entertainers talented people doing a job they love... like many other people in other fields.  I would never think of interrupting their coffee or fish and chips just to be able to say I "met" them or talked with them.  But, whatever floats your boat, I guess.


Braindead morons. No respect for themselves, family, community or value of a life.

Oh, so now we're allowed to comment.  Not on the news stories themselves, but on this columnists musings?  We can't be trusted to comment responsibly on the "news", but its okay here?  I don't get it.


The census of 1939 in Germany listed the following; 54% Protestant, 40% Catholic, 3.5% believer in God, 1.5% non-religious, 1% Jewish. In total over 95% of people living in Germany were Christian. In 1933 there were approximately 45 million Protestants in Germany which at that time was 67% of the population. In 1937-38 Germany annexed Austria which was a large majority Catholic.
.
In 1939 with the annexation of Poland Catholics were persecuted along side German Catholics in Dachau, 2720 died there including 1,034 priests.
.
Catholic schools were shut down in 1939 and the Catholic press in 1941. The German government took over many churches, monasteries, convents and church properties for the public interest. The Nazis attempted to eradicate the Catholic Church in areas outside Germany, mainly Poland to a smaller extent Slovenia and Austria.
.
Whoever wrote "Christians don't do this kind of thing" doesn't know their history!
.
Christians were fighting Christians!


No, I didn't make that point.  Please don't twist my words.  Since I don't know all of their ideologies and motivations I can't judge their vileness. Maybe some are motivated to provide vaccinations to children in impoverished countries or ensure better healthcare for wounded veterans.  I do happen to know what the Kochs' are, and they're vile.
Where I suspect we're in agreement is that the ability for the super wealthy to buy our politicians (for whatever reason) is corrosive to our democracy.  As soon as you allow the practice for a 'righteous' cause, you start down that slippery slope.


Looked to me like the flight attendant escalated the problem with his reaction to the 2nd passenger. It's against federal law for a passenger to touch an attendant but this attendant looked very much like he was intending to do some touching of his own. The captain stopped him from making an even bigger mistake. The attendant is clearly not suited for a customer service oriented job,

Hey, MP, thanks for thinking of me!

Glad that I'm always top of mind with you.

Sorry that I have no idea who you are, or what you think, but I'm flattered by your obsession with me.

Does your wife know that you've taken such an interest in me, posting my name again and again?

She may be concerned about that.


Yes exactly?


Why are there so many GD pictures?  Having to scroll about 10 pages down on the front page is absurd.


what's wrong with america is the amount of attention, energy, time, and other resources being devoted to this most shittiest of shitshows- it is a clear indication that the majority of americans are imbeciles, incapable of thinking for themselves.

one "freedom" that is afforded to all americans is the right to not participate.  embracing that freedom and exercising that right is far more admirable than lumping yourself into the masses by settling for any one of these parasitic self-promoting charlatans.


I'm sure United is doing a good job filling the coffers of state legislators.


Sounds like Socialize Medicine that you will find in other countries.  Ted Kennedy was in favor of this, but was not acceptable to many.  Medicare sounds good, but when you get to that age, some doctors will drop you.  The solution is there, but first get rid of the lobbyist, that will get the cost down.  Look into Socialize Medicine and learn about it, learn how medicare works.


The CPPp shooter is a nut job. Nut jobs will take anything out of context. No one should be forced to stop speaking just because some nut job might take it the wrong way and do something crazy...that's simply what nut jobs do.


Yes, far fewer than public school teachers.

But the press and dissenters do what they do.

We just have to stay close to the data, searching for truth.

The differences between the public school problem and the priestly abuse problem are that while the size of the problem in public schools is much higher....the same sex sort of pattern is stronger in the priesthood.


Fortunately, we have a statement by one who is familiar with this issue, although perhaps without understanding how it affects the poster.


Every economist in Canada thinks immigrants are a good idea for Canada.

Every political Party in Canada thinks immigrants are a good idea for Canada.

It would seem that only the tired "old stock" in Canada doesn't like immigrants, and their point of view is not economic.

Why does the US have the worlds biggest economy?  10 times as many consumers as Canada.


Right.... what have repubs fire-bombed? Act of liberal 'civility?'

Importing blm activists to riot; once again, a liberal view of civility.


Excellent article Mr. Jenkins. What stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.  Chicago with the strongest anti gun laws in the country has dozens of people shot on any weekend, more than any other city in the country. May be they need to have stricter laws?  The loudest calls for gun control comes from powerful hypocrite people who are surrounded by armed guards and private security. Hillary Clinton, Jimmy  Kimmel, and all the others are protected by guns.  The average joe must rely on himself.  If the next mass murderer uses a Kenworth semi truck to crash into a crowd, not one person will suggest  banning Kenworth trucks, require smaller engines, or slower gears. If the next mass murderer uses a chainsaw, not one person will suggest licensing chainsaws and limiting the bar length. Day after day, law abiding Americans use guns to protect their families and property. Leave it that way.

Surely you know this is the National Catholic Reporter and not the National Catholic Register?


Obviously you didn't read the research nor understand science. Do a rain dance outside long enough and it will rain, so your unfiltered "experience" isn't compelling. It's like flipping a coin, getting heads, and proclaiming all future coin flips will produce heads. I'll take scientific research over your experience any day.


I thought Daisy was the modern day propaganda and fake news story. I'm surprised the DNC didn't run it again. It's a famous ad that was only shown once, but has been talked about ever since.

The DNC has blamed the FBI director, Russia, Fake News, The electoral college system, but not their own candidate.  Bernie would have won a landslide, but the super delegates of the DNC didn't give him a chance.

Around the world the status quo isn't good enough and results are what Trump will be evaluated on over the next 4 years.  In other words, it won't matter how he gets there, did he win and that's how he measures himself.


OUTA, please place a full page advertisement in the British press (Sunday Times? Telegraph?) - outlining in point form what Bel Potty did, quoting their "apology" and advising what South Africans demand of Bell Potty:

-Full disclosure, minutes of meetings, who attended, dates and content of discussions
-Details of fringe organisations funded and rent-a-mobs
-Details of government and ANC employees involved
-Reimbursement of all monies received to be placed in a neutral non-political trust / charity.

Markets are simply the range of available choices. Until new choices are offered, ones with more solidarity, individuals face markets alone. They should not have to, but they have no choice if there are no alternatives offered.  It is not liberty, but capitalism, which seeks to strip people of more just alternatives, though the capitalists are in it only for themselves. Market mechanisms for benenfits are not, provided there is adequate income distribution to replace these programs, however I doubt the capitalists are suggesting that.

Solidarity will fix the problems of internationalism, but only if employee-owned firms go global and work in solidarity with their counterparts in the global supply chain. Sadly, few talk about that. That solidarity also makes technology safe for the planet, allowing for the building of individual habitats to grow food and stop corporate agriculture and the development of fusion power to end global warminng.


We may have to wait a few decades to see how this whole scenario plays out. Nature will not be rushed.

Aside from the fact we do not have an accurate figure on the amount of CO2 spewed out of the sea floor. Since the sea covers most of the earth, that could be quite a bit.


If it is medically necessary that is what we have Doctors and Hospitals for (which is a VERY small portion of abortions). Abortion as Birth control needs to be stopped NOW,  you have no way to prove a negative, which is what you are doing by saying how many abortions have been prevented by education and access to birth control. I am all for education and for birth control for adults, but passing the stuff out to kids in high school is madness. PP assumes a fair amount of failures from kids that have been encouraged to have safe sex, which means more abortion dollars for them.

I am defending the rights of the child - sorry to burst your bubble. When Trump (really Pence) appoints three more Justices, we just may get abortion on demand abolished, and it will be a glorious day !!! Enjoy.


Licenses have nothing to do with immigration.  It exists separately from having any license.

McCain is insane in the membrane. He's a Democrat.


Oh please is correct.   No need for Churches or any of the sacraments. How do we get rid of those few remaining Catholic Priests?   Enjoy your happy "meal" at the table, I  refer to it as the  Holy Sacrifice of the Mass on the Altar.  Not surprising to see a Catholic Brother on this website agrees with your comment.  Why have many in the Catholic Church lost the faith in your opinion?


And you must be a Hillary voter to make such an assumption . . .


The problem here is that there is nothing which is not "systemic racism" to black people. They have made being a victim the core of their identity.


This whole thing reminds me of two Nursery Rhymes: "Round and round the mulberry bush" and "Ring a ring of roses"


Lol haven't seen the video or face page or Google like these rabid trumpies. "Why is this NEWS" they scream but troll these pages.  SPICER is now a public servant of the WH.  He serves all people. He is not entitled to private time in such a social Internet world. Hey Sean, Go Amazon it.


fair enough...Mr Black's views on the expanding role of the Supreme Court into the very fabric of Canadian life however seem more to do with his views on what he sees as the legitimate role of the Court rather than any pronouncement on the injustice of his criminal convictions, which is a line of commentary he promotes most strongly through his assessments of the US criminal justice system


Congrats to all of these people in US and Dakota that stood up against their government and won! "Our" government is giving away our democratic rights to large corporations so they can repay them for their financial contributions. Hey Canada how it is our turn! Don't sell your raw resources to a lowest bidder, but rather process them first and then sell to the highest bidder.


"Vote Whores"......yowch.


James, give up. it's never ever going to sink in.


I find it interesting that the Globe's coverage does not seem to mention the gender of the two people with dogs that ran off rather than staying to help the officer. And the non-release and publication of the attacker's name was similarly interesting.
The information the media and government chooses not to give us is just as important as that it does give us.


No, I'm making it clear I don't care about your comments.


We are less prone to making ignorant blanket statements, though.  I respect your right and desire to live in the front range hive.


He should quit.

He was married at the time, on top of taking advantage of a teenaged girl.

And Beyak should quit as well.

Harper really appointed a lot of low lifes who do not represent Canadian values-- Meredith because of his toxic behaviour, and Beyak for her racist comments.


Looking directly at an eclipse is not any more dangerous than looking at the Sun on an ordinary day. Both are equally dangerous! But during an eclipse, people are much more tempted to try to look. That's why it's important to stress the dangers when specifically talking about eclipses. If you want to look, you MUST use special eclipse safety glasses to protect your eyes when ANY part of the Sun is showing.


And then there's the whole emerging issue of "nanoaggressions".
And don't get me started on the menace of "picoaggressions"


Hilarious article by one of my favorite novelists.


Walker as his "new" compromise, has presented the AK politician-Democrats' ultra/ideal bill for $SPENDING.

As if- more money -on-and-on, ad naseum gives good value- to anyone. Walker, a Republican in name only (rino), needs to go.

I support the Republican Senate & house bills - reasoned and practical and helpful to all Alaskans. Within our budget also, as working Alaskans.

I am "sol" (so-out-of-luck) since my reps have been Gara, and Ellis, (unopposed) for the past and now current legislative session. Over 8 years I think now, - it really does suck for a hardworking person such as myself. No taxation without representation! Isn't that what happened at the Boston Tea Party? By the way,  the truth does not go out of style for you posters without an education.


I think some folks have missed several points:

1.  After his initial tweet, he posted another tweet that just said "I apologize".
2. Terry followed up with a lengthy explanation that it was an "emotional moment", apparently equating something about his dad and the Japanese he fought.  While I didn't see the original tweet, apparently there was a mention of HIS BOOK in the apology which he got called out on.

Various people I know have said that his follow up apology was worse than his original tweet.    I wasn't angry but just posted to Terry saying "I hope you get help.  Sounds like you have issues to address and I hope it doesn't carry over to real life".

Dude made a big mistake in public and he paid a price for it.   It's the way things are in 2017.


Indeed!

But tell me, Elizabeth - do you have no faith in our system of government at all?


Wishful thinking.


Trump was right. There were mindless violent thugs on both sides. Antifa arrived with lots of weaponry ,ski masks helmets, baseball bats,  shields and black clothing which is their uniform.   They burned  Berkeley , Stanford,  demolished Evergreen College,   extinguished the Constitutional Rights  of all they disagree with  destruction by all out war,   and have wreaked a swath of fear and intimidation across America.  But for some reason people think  they are the good guys.


What would you suggest we do with people that are a danger to the general population inside the prison walls? How do we protect the prisoners that are able to be rehabilitated from the ones that just want to watch the world burn ?


The quote from Stevens is pretty much what I would expect from him, along with his oil soaked cronies in the majority. They are the epitome of spend, spend, and spend.


You have not answered my questions about the great commission or the parables,  Did you read the website I directed you to?  If all is predestined why are you even bothering to argue with me?   Why do we deal with the great commission.  You are saying we are not born with free will.  That we are some sort of robots.   You are saying there was no need for Christ to die.   Why would he need to die for robots that were predestined for goodness?   Again you take the prayer where he was clearly talking about the 12 and make it apply to every one.  Again, you are taking verses that clearly refer to a mutual choosing and apply it to every one.   If predestination is a given then there is no reason for works.   As John clearly states faith without works is clearly dead.

It will be interesting to see how Iran reacts which will call for revenge.  It usually fights its wars by proxy.  Their only direct involvement as of late has been in Syria which has been a bloodbath for them. One can reasonably draw a conclusion that this is an attack on Shiia Islam in the very heart of Shiia Islam- the bombing of the mausoleum of the Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini the father of the Iranian Revolution.  An uptick in the schism between Shiia and Sunni.  Iran would cast suspicion on Saudi Arabia and tensions might rise to open conflict.  This is all taking place as the U.S., the world's only superpower, isolates itself from these chronic conflicts.


Once again the left is confused.  Let me help you.  Alaska is a State, Anchorage is a city in that state. Alaska generates very little greenhouse gas, just .64% of what the US puts out.  Of that small number Anchorage is very clean.  The only thing Anchorage has with a lot of pollution is the airport, and that is under state control.  So tell me, what EXACTLY is the mayor going to do for the environment?  There is nothing he can do, he just wanted his name in the paper.


part 3
  Court decisions are unpredictable but it is unlikely on the basis of these decisions that Khadr's lawsuit requesting compensation would  have been successful (and if it were the compensation would have been for breaches under Liberal regimes not Harper's since the Court explicitly stated requesting repatriation was a matter for the Executive to decide. Moreover the Court acknowledged Khadr's detention was under US control. 	Legal doctrine states that a plaintiff will be unable to pursue remedy if it arises in connection with his own illegal act. It's not unreasonable to contend that while Khadr's interrogations by CSIS may have violated the Charter these interrogations weren't unreasonable in the context in which they occured. It's a strong case  that it would have been outrageous dereliction of duty if Canadian intelligence services  had not questioned Mr Khadr following Al Quada's 9/11 attacks  the  biggest terrorist Act in history


To answer this by you "If the shooter were Muslim, ...when it is a white mass murderer it is "not the time" to talk about anything to do with the problem of gun violence in the US or the hypocrisy of Trump and his sycophants."

God bless the victims. I pray for your recovery, for your families. As does the nation by majority. Murder is murder is murder. Period.

Every single political ('Trump, Guns, and racist White mention') hate post -including this one by you-is prime examples of truly despicable human beings. 'Despicable' as in nasty hateful heartless people.


Rochdale68,
  That's hilarious coming from you. You are quite literally the biggest Conservative shill commenting on the Globe on a regular basis.  And as usual you go with a personal attack because you simply can't offer a reasoned argument.


In the 60s, hundreds and hundreds of cars weren't being stolen by gangtah-wanna'-bees.


The Samoan community is more concerned with protecting their "families" than the rule of law. They all... the entire community... know who at least one of these punks are (how many Samoans are there with blonde afros), if not all 4 of them.

Shame on the Samoan community for not doing the right thing.


Brilliant observation ..... and do you like bananas too? ... eeek!


So "safe voter districts" are a bad thing, beacause office-holders need to please only their "partisan brethren." But when DeFazio represents a "safely Democratic district" and doesn't have to compromise, the writer is a "big supporter." Seems hypocritical.


Sure, but criticism of the government for taking a day or two longer than you would like seems rather misplaced.  First, there was forwarning and time plane seats to leave in advance if the storm if it wasn't left until the day before the storm hit.  Second, this is a highly unusual event far from Canada.  There should be no reasonable expectation of getting what you want from our government within a few hours.

Trump says Clinton “lacks energy,” and has “low stamina.” The truth: Clinton traveled a total of 956,733 miles, and visited a record-setting 112 countries as SoS, sat through an 11 hour Benghazi testimony, and did over 6 events on the day she was diagnosed with pneumonia. Trump? He skipped a primary debate because he was scared of Megyn Kelly.
9. Trump says Clinton engaged in ‘Pay-for-Play.” The truth: Trump used his foundation to pay off Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi (so she would drop the Trump University lawsuit), and is now under investigation in New York for illegal contributions.


My brother was telling me about the state making rationing choices in order to keep total cost down.

Rationing service got the 'death panel' label didn't it?  Yet the same People, mostly Rep, who complained about the ACA on this issue are the same people who want to save money now by kicking low income folks off their plan completely??

Does that Rep. they want to extended life with unlimited spending for some, yet provide no insurance for others based on their income?

Did I just here somebody say 'let them eat cake'

Without naming a plan, do you believe all Americans should have health coverage at a cost that wouldn't bankrupt them?     I do, but would still like to focus on the very high cost of services- not just who pays the bill


It has been a while since I read Sr. Sarah's book--but I don't remember that in her work.  She used to be a feminist--and one who argued to ordain women.  At some point she converted.

Who better than her?  She knows all the arguments for women's ordination inside and out since she used to make those very same arguments.

I don't think Brannon knows what deconstruction means.

de·con·struc·tion
ˌdēkənˈstrəkSHən/
noun
a method of critical analysis of philosophical and literary language that emphasizes the internal workings of language and conceptual systems, the relational quality of meaning, and the assumptions implicit in forms of expression.


Whose responsibility was it to foresee that Garland's conviction for killing a 5 year old would draw the type of attention that prisons are well known for, and ensure that steps were taken to prevent this obvious response?

Presumably the lawyer should have been prepared for this beforehand  rather than complaining about it afterwards?


Hit the nail on the head Patricia.  At over 3x it's original cost and years behind completion, what else can you call it.  What was Crooked Kirk's campaign promise, something like "on time, on budget."  Laughable.  Is there anything that ever turned out right on this boondoggle?  Any item that they can say, "hey we got this done in half the time, or half the cost?"  Nada.


Did it ever occur to you that while you're praying for global safety and peace there are others praying that they're able to kill or injure as many people as possible simply by planning and having the opportunity to make it happen?

If prayer is all it takes, theirs seem to be working better than yours.

The fact that people aren't seeing this as an inside job is beyond me.  80 candidates and they pick the gal next door and pile on a big raise.

That is a bad comparison between Ovechkin and Langford. Langford, a Black man (in an era when sports were segregated), was denied the opportunity to fight for the World Championship on many occasions due to Jack Johnson repeatedly declining to fight him for fear he might lose. Crosby is not afraid to take on Ovechkin for fear he might lose and nobody is denying Ovechkin the opportunity to play for a championship. The team he plays for just doesn't have what it takes to win one. At least that is recent history for the Caps.


Why do people assume that pot smokers go to work and work while "high". I don't make the assumption that alcohol drinkers drink before, during, and after work. Most drinkers use their off time to have a drink. Guess what? Most pot smokers wait until their off time to smoke.
This tired old notion that the work force will suddenly turn into a bunch of error prone stoners is getting played out. Guess what the reality is? If you go to work drunk you will probably get fired, and if you go to work high you will also probably get fired.


Commissioner Bozevitch is best remembered by many of us from his days of parading around dressed up like a colonial soldier while spouting extremist anti-tax "libertarian" platitudes.  Isn't it amazing how once elected, the so-called anti-tax patriots and libertarians are so quick to go back on their promises when they don't agree with the subject matter?  Apparently, the only liberty the commissioner cares about is his own!  So far there is not one iota of  credible evidence as to the "extra costs the county will bear as a result of legalization."  Jay, you may qualify for a spot in the Trump administration.


All the way through this article, all I could think of was the 'Inquisition' number from Mel Brook's 'History of the World, Part 1.'

Great, now that song is stuck in my head.

"Hey, Torquemada, whaddaya say?
I just got back from the auto-da-fé
Auto-da-fé, what's an auto-da-fé?
It's what you oughtn't to do but you do anyway..."


Then why so much secrecy?? Probably because they want to cut corners..its usual business in the extraction industry...doing it right costs too much money for these corporations


Gotta disagree with ya on Tamir, Larry.  The audio of the encounter shows the cop fired within two seconds of arrival.  Even a 12 year-old's reflexes aren't good enough to follow an order to 'put the gun down!'  Hell, it took me one second just to say those four words (I timed it, speaking as fast as I could).  The kid had NO chance to comply. The cop murdered that kid and walked.

As for Trayvon/Zimmerman we're never gonna agree.  I will say that a black shooter who attempts to claim self-defense under "Stand Your Ground" is 400 times less likely to have that claim accepted than is a white shooter.

The United States of America has been an openly white-supremacist nation for far longer than it's been a 'closet' one.  And the social, political, economic, judicial and economic policies and practices predicated there-on didn't magically disappear in 1964.  And you know I know what I'm talking about based on decades of first-hand experience.


The arguments on the part of the Left, the usual suspects, are made over and over again, as if this is a 'civil rights' issue.  It is not.
This is about power and privilege.
I note that none of you have gone to the local Imam to ask his support or advice . . .


I think it is likely too late to rehabilitate this guy, but it would be nice if we had some sort of residential addiction treatment out away from everything where people like this could get a chance at a restart early on. By the time someone has multiple dealing and using drug convictions and felon in possession of a firearm, the die is certainly cast.

Our revolving door non-jail just doesn't do any good at all.


Not to mention, akgen, wasn't it Obama's executive order to flood the market with oil that caused oil prices to drop so drastically?


I don't think it's just a 'liberal' thing, whatever liberal means these days (or 'conservative', for that matter), Jake.

We have an enormous military.  Huge by any measure.  Much larger than we need to protect our borders.  So do we shut down our overseas bases?  Get rid of aircraft carriers?  Stop fighting ISIS?  I'll start to believe this talk about nationalism and focusing on Americans when I see one single attempt by either party to reduce our defense budget in any meaningful way.  Never gonna happen.  The defense industry owns congress.


I "admit" the City and its citizens are facing a major financial crisis.  Moreover, the Rail will have a very limited usability for the majority of the population.  End this money hungry beast.  No more construction work.  We can't afford it!!!

An insurance broker by chance?

If you are working with people who are purchasing coverage through the ACA or have Medicare... you are not speaking with the working poor I am referencing.

Wage stagnation is a reality since the 1970's-- ever since it was decided that unions were "evil" and that corporate allegiance was to the stockholders.  There will be no solutions until a crisis unfolds.  We are getting closer every day.

No Conn man, it is the "race baiters" that come out of the woodwork and try to impede any conversation or discussion that they do not like or agree with.  Because you don't like an opinion, it does not make it racist!


Trid, my post is clear.  You can indeed jump off the same cliff today and live. It is proven.  It doesn't take a new law, just a growing understanding of the same old ones.


Mayor Ferrell,
Who made the decision to move the "City Center Access Project" on/off ramp from South 312th Street to South 324th Street? Because Washington State DOT already modeled traffic flows for all "City Center Access Project" options, and told city officials that an exit at South 324th would functionally dead-end at HWY-99. WSDOT also said that South 312th Street was the preferred option for future east/west flow through the city, to offload traffic from I-5. South 312th Street would provide for a new eastbound road to/from/over I-5, which 324th fails to do. Two million dollars was already spent, and WSDOT said South 312th was the preferred option -- so did nearly all Federal Way businesses and residents at the time. Why will millions be spent on an off-ramp that dead-ends at HWY-99? South 324th Street would be Federal Way's new exit to nowhere! Where's the public involvement, like before? Why don't the people paying for this new on/off ramp from I-5 have a say in this project?


That's not what this team is trying to do. They run the floor and create transition baskets off rebounds and steals. It starts with defense and translates into up-tempo scores. I like the way they're progressing. Hopefully the youngins (Murray, Mudiay, Beasley) can continue to decrease the turnovers and play with confident aggressiveness.


B. Carfree:  I LOVE Honest Law Enforcement officers and Departments.  The BAD APPLE officers and Departments must be replaced.  I have a step-son who just received his badge from the Oregon State Police.  It will be interesting to see what his interpretations are in a year or so.............I can tell you that if he finds corruption within he will be a whistle blower, and he might not  be employed there very long.   Next headline could be,  WhiteFace State Police officer, calls Linda Hamilton for advice on Lawsuit????????????

Editor's note: The original version of this story said that gym, appliance and vacation spending totals were monthly. This version has been corrected to show that these are annual figures.


Someone has said words to the effect that all it takes for evil to flourish is for good people to say nothing. Thank God for people like Fr. Cullen. In our own country we all, not just bishops, need to speak up about the dangers looming because we all are the Church. Also, in spite of its imperfections, thank God for a free press and the many courageous reporters and correspondents who are repeatedly scapegoated and sometimes even risk their lives to report what is really going on. They, too, are in danger of being cowed into silence.

Bitumen isn't sent by pipeline.  Dilbit is the preferred method.  That said...pipelines are far and away the most energy efficient (less CO2 required) and safest way to move crude.


Concurrently, Boeing blackmailed Washington and South Carolina into removing all taxes within the states under the guise of protecting jobs.  Or else they would move their plants and facilities to somewhere else where taxation wasn't allowed.  The governors and legislators went into emergency sessions to immediately pass the immunities while all other government business takes months and years to pass.  Within 6 months after the gift, Boeing moved 1000 jobs out of Washington to California.  So much for promises.  This was orchestrated by the same management team and board which had outsourced airplane parts manufacturing to Italy.  The defective parts had to be reconfigured in Seattle as none of them fit the plane's schematics.  The management retired with their golden parachutes in millions.  The cowardice of government at all levels against this defense contractor leading looter is insanity plus.  Until this One Party system is dismantled, the looting will continue.


This man is a dangerous sociopath. He will continue to be a danger to anyone he is around, animals, children and adults. No one is safe. I am sickened that he served less than 3 years for a triple murder! We are lucky he didn't kill everyone in the house! It wasn't an accident! He didn't like being rejected, left out, not included and not wanted. So he set a fire. 3 years for killing 3 people, which means each person's life is only worth 1 year in jail? Judge, this isn't justice! Good for the tribal leaders banning this guy from their village!! We should banish criminals from Alaska! You commit a crime - you're gone! We need to back the tribal leaders, if they banish someone w/ good reason, then they should be able to do so. We can't blame them for not taking care of their own problems, refuse to give them armed LEO, and then bash them for trying to handle it through tribal law. It doesn't work that way. JUDGE RAY - THIS MAN IS A MONSTER!! When he doesn't get his way he gets violent!


I wish to believe TMT would provide the STEM jobs that we want for our children. But the reality is the majority if not all of the jobs that are currently filled by locals at Mauna Kea are maintenance related. And again of the 330 in the akamai program since 2002, 14 years, less than a 100 are working in Hawaii.


At a time of NO financial crisis the Trudeau gov't is racking up deficits of nearly $30 billion, with none of the promised infrastructure to show for it.  Don't speak to us of fiscal prudence under a Liberal regime.


So then you would also like to see the Justice Department go after Obama for Fast and Furious right?? We all know how much you hate those evil guns. Obama and Holder let them go across the border and lost track of them only to have potential hundreds of people killed by those same guns including border guard Brian Terry. So again if your a fair and equal person you will demand that the Justice Department look into Obama, Holder and even Clinton's involvement.


Greg, your memory is faulty.  It was a friend of my dad who was killed by pesticides that are now banned but still used in developing countries.  That was over 50 years ago when there was NO GM crops but lots of highly toxic pesticides.  What we use now is nothing like the things old time farmers used.

Here's the thing that too many don't understand with this conflation of GM technology and pesticides: the issue isn't the same.  What's key is the trait created by the modification.  Is it disease resistance, as in the papaya, or is it protection against pests? Ashley Lukens loves to bumble these two issues together which results in mass confusion.  She's the reason why small farmers get yelled at for protecting their crops because they are too busy believing her and not learning from a farmer.


No offence, but $10/hr is livable even in Toronto. What is not livable is $10/hr with less than 40 hrs/week.

 If you want to help minimum income workers, better go after minimum amount that can be paid by a single employer in a day or a week rather than hourly wages.


"particularly the quick pace of it."

Absolutely: the jump to $14 is an increase of over $2 in one shot.
I just finished listening to a very interesting discussion on NPR's "On Point." They were analyzing the recent move in Portland, OR and the roll-back of the recent increase in St. Louis, MO. They pointed out that an increase of $1/hr was enough to unsettle things and hurt more workers than it helped.

Increasing the minimum wage can be a good thing, but only if it's done with care. There's nothing prudent or incremental about this proposal.
Implementing it is like playing with fire... very irresponsible.


That so called "modesty" comes from not having much to brag about in the sporting world or just about any other department, really.

Wow, the UH should not miss this opportunity to bring back Rick Pitino to coach the men's basketball team!  Since Hawaii takes the professors that no one wants on the Mainland, why not Pitino?  Our "cancer center" is a joke when the best they can get is a few million for research.

Lets give Rick Pitino a warm welcome and get our basketball program to a Top Ten ranking.   UH gets sanctioned by the NCAA for providing a student athlete with an Ipad worth $200 for school, so why not throw it back in their face and take back Pitino.  Lets all be good liberals and forgive people with bad track records and give them a chance at the UH.  Remember Evan Dobelle and M.R.C. Greenwood?

Remember WINNING is not everything, it is the only thing.


What's your excuse for a dull mind there pizza girl allie?


You seem in need of some levity. Here's a bit from Andy Borowitz today that deals with the fact that trumps inaugural team can't find anyone to perform at the event:

"WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—After having difficulty persuading prominent entertainers to participate at the event, the Trump transition team announced on Sunday that the Russian President Vladimir Putin would sing at Donald J. Trump’s Inauguration next month.

In a brief statement from the Kremlin, Putin said, “I will be most delighted to perform for my comrade.”

The choice of Putin raised eyebrows in Washington, since the Russian, while famous for invading neighboring countries and imprisoning political opponents, is not particularly well known as a singer."


Why should he not be upset with the media when they condemn everything he does?   The media is still upset that their Chinese puppet did not make it into the White House and are trying to rerun the election.   If you watched the election results they were all left huffing, puffing and red-faced.


There's a difference in why grey hairs might enjoy staying where what they share with the new guys and gals is respected.  Some places, retirement is a more attractive situation.


You have grossly misinterpreted that phrase. There is nothing in the 2nd Amendment that says or states one cannot carry concealed or open carry. It does however state clearly the right must NOT be infringed upon. Know what infringed means?

Infringed:
act so as to limit or undermine (something); encroach on.

it's pretty obvious the 9th circuit was wrong in it's decision. Which by the way will be overturned by the US Supreme Court. The 9th Circuit holds the record for most cases/rulings overturned by the Supreme court.


OK, rather than be part of the world-wide consensus -- 194 other countries and their scientist advisers -- we should follow the lead of The Game Show Host President and pull out of the Paris Accord?
And how would that further Canada's interests??

It is astounding that one actually has to read this drivel. If these clowns are public facing, just imagine the cretins behind the scenes! There is literally not a single chance of SA ever succeeding with these thieving plonkers at the helm successfully hitting every iceberg.


Actually what Trump has done is give those who read leftist journalism a reason to question the validity of said journalists.  The most recent few weeks has shown the amount of "spin" the liberal media takes on anything Trump.  From blasting his preference of golf courses to the first lady's feigned 'hand slap', MSM has shown contempt for even the most inconsequential, unimportant occurrences seeking to 'throw shade' on everything Trump, true or not.  As I indicated to another commenter the MSM has admitted to Trump stories being 89-91% negative.  Knowing this I think the media has more responsibility for reactionary outbursts than the individuals.  It is liberal media that has created the monster not Trump.  Trump has merely exposed it.


Great movie, that was Slim Pickens riding the bomb.


And that's the problem.  People who think the flag itself matters more than the freedom it represents.  You talk about fighting for freedom, but seek to compel speech.  You talk about choice in religion, but don't realize that saying the pledge is a violation of many religious beliefs.  And let's not talk about the irony of "clean water" to a student in Michigan.

Freedom is meaningless if it's only freedom to be the way you think I ought.


When spoiled brats misbehave we spank them and send them to bed. Good night you rich overpaid crybaby.  I'm sure OJ Simpson feels your pain. America didn't treat him right either so he killed 2 innocent people in his rage, just like the Black Lives Matter people whose actions got many innocent cops killed. Maybe your RAGE will help get many more innocent people killed and finally all the crying you're doing about standing for the National Anthem will finally reward your pathetic little wimpers with a bloody justice. Afterall, isn't that the real justice you are seeking? That's the justice OJ wanted and got. Or are you just mad because the billionaires wouldn't give more than $126 million for such a precious little crybaby?  Don't bother worrying about a 2 year old Syrian boy with blood on his hands and face from a barrel bomb, because in your world the real injustice is that you will have to wait a couple years to buy a yacht!!!!


Horgan has no credibility, he is planning to punish job creators, increase taxes, and spend money on special interests with no concept of fiscal responsibility. BC's balance sheet is the envy of all of Canada, BC's economy is arguably the strongest and most diversified in the country. The NDP's history in BC is highlighted by failure, waste, and incompetence. Horgan is a fan of the job-killing LEAP manifesto, he has no credibility. The Liberals aren't perfect but the NDP would be a disaster to the economy.

You believe Trump, and as far as I can see he lies 100% of the time. In fact, if he tells the truth, it's by accident and no one is more surprised than he is, or cares less.


That organizations are funded does not mean supporters are paid. The same claim could be made for the right with the Koch brothers behind the scenes, amirite? Fact checking does not support you assertion in any event.

Your own reasoning skills are a bit suspect when you assert that the only way any could find fault with the Groper in Chief is being paid to do so. Your use of SJW is informative as well.

Nuclear war is the worst case, but that does not mean it is the least likely.  I am sure Kim is going to just retreat with the next nasty tweet. Why should he make the same mistake Gaddafi made? Given the threat to kill 25 million or so people - no mention of how many in SK, just how feasible do you think military action is? Please explain for us.


Trump has called her "crooked Hillary" and she seems to do her best to deserve the title.

If the dossier is "just a right-wing distraction" ( - Hillary), why is the DNC doing its best to distance itself? Seems like they understand its validity.


However it's done,  please do this. We've been treating our two ash trees for a couple of years.  They're great trees but susceptible to these evil borers.


Ah the pitfalls of choosing to live off the road system and wanting to live a subsistence life. Since when is unlimited internet part of a subsistence or rural lifestyle? Since when is a cell phone or computer part of the subsistence or rural lifestyle?


Mr Trudeau is a feminist and a native rights and environmental activist disguised as a prime minister, and these appointment illustrate that.  And he's never heard of such a thing as a "private sector", he's only seen government cheques in his life, so it's wrong to expect him to appoint business people.


Could the W line be any slower? I recently moved back to Denver and considered living in Wheat Ridge and taking the light rail to the Tech Center. I never would have lasted. There should have been more effort to avoid crawling past every sidewalk between Golden and Downtown. Maybe some changes could be considered now to get the speeds above a brisk walk.

A liberal with some common sense. The left has gone off the deep intellectual and political end. If they keep this up they will have no chance of winning anything in 2018. Hysteria and violence are no substitute for fairness and equity in determining whether or not someone has broken the law.

Really?  The 19-1 slaughter was when you realized this team did not have the royal jelly?  Not the 15-1 game a week before, right?  Had to give up 19 runs, not a measly 15, eh?

Did not realize it before then?  The lack of basic fundamentals did not give them away?  Their god-awful run differential, no?  The terrible starting pitching?  This team being the oldest in the majors, that meant nothing?

But when they lost 19-1, then, eureka, you had your epiphany.

Ok, then, no doubt you are a Your Js fan, no doubt at all.....


Ryan says that the white nationalists (AKA, white supremacists) were "attacked and forced to leave the park where they were permitted to be."
Does Ryan mean that Heather Heyer and all those other bystanders attacked that car forcing it to run over them, killing Ms. Heyer and seriously injuring more than a dozen others?

Best,

Get my facts straight?  You don't even believe in the American system.  I won't hold a conversation with a anarchist, which I believe you are. Millions of American soldiers have fought and died  defending our system, which includes  the electoral college you refer to as "hacks".  Trump WON the election. Hillary LOST.  Get over it.  The losers have 2020 to try again.  To lose that is....

Know the truth.


ANY  politician with less than 50% support has a shaky mandate and ought not to act as if s/he has broad based support. This applies to Trump, Trudeau, Harper before him and many others. Problem is that nearly all of them ignore this basic fact.


Yep.


We have the same law here but they don't arrest anyone. They just charge the hospital with the violation.  Wait until some drunk or druggie drives and kills or injures a lawmaker or their family then we'll see a 180 turn around in opinion.

Who is spreading this false info? Anyone want to take a guess?


Fellow bloggers censor comments, Farmer.  If you tend to use a hostile tone in your comment(s), use name calling etc. you're likely to be censored by your peers.  I've had a couple of my zinger comments censored.

too many voters agree that they should be able to force their religious views on others despite it being clearly against the law.

One of those assemblymen chose to run on this specific issue.

He announced as much, saying it spurred him to run.

And he got the votes.

Shows how much respect for the rule of law the christian extremists have.


I have no objections to this practise at all. The goal is stable and good governance and grassroots democracy is highly unpredictable and the party in question should be able to engage in these practise.

That being said, they should be open about it.
