Why do you keep capitalizing "Obama" when talking about ACA? Did Obama's involvement #trigger you?

Or do you just miss him as much as the rest of the country does?


As one of them told me, in all seriousness, "A man's wife is only his wife, but his mother is family."


I'm on my side.  Who's side are you on?


I don't agree! People cant be individuals in a political environment but through intellectual capacity and influence have the ability to design a particular outcome in an individuals favor, because it is a community of believers that share a particular idea/believe for either personal or group benefit. Politics is the greatest merry-go-round!! and its a rare scenario to find an individual on the Ferris Wheel!!


You're kidding, right?  The report you quoted looks only at imports into Alberta, 1.5 to 2.0 billion dollars over 3 years.  The other side of the coin is here,

https://www.albertacanada.com/files/albertacanada/SP-EH_AIME-10-year-review.pdf

In 2015 alone, Alberta exported 8.9 billion dollars of natural gas & natural gas liquids.  That's after the huge drop in price and volume that's occurred in the last few years.


Afghanistan is one of those places Trump talked about staying out of-- where we fought for years, dropped tons of bombs, and set up a government-- somewhat corrupt-- and the bad guys are coming back. We still have 8,000 troops in Afghanistan and now the Russians are supporting the taliban there. And Trump just stepped up our efforts in Somalia sending hundreds of troops to this country with huge oil reserves. We are also sending more men and arms to Yemen (we also arm the Saudi's in this fight). So Trump learned the facts of life after his campaign promise of no more wars and interventions overseas.


A division of Status Of Women.


To me I question the validity of having the speculation as part of the oil development process.  Prospective purchasers of leases should be in the business of oil not gambling on being able to make their profits by selling their purchase of a site sold for development.


RTD has shot itself in the foot regarding the G line.  That line is now over one year past due from its previously extended date.

Was this due to determined citizen opposition to the route chosen?  NO!  This route follows an existing rail line and uses that ROW.

Was this because of a lack of building materials or a shortage in the labor supply?  That probably pushed the start date more than once, but the entire route has been up and able to run for over 1 year.

What then caused the delay?  RTD and the Contractor selected unproven and now known to be defective GATE SOFTWARE.  That STUPID decision is causing the delay of an otherwise completed line.  It gets worse.  At every crossing point we are paying for TWO flaggers 24/7/365.  These folks have a boring job that is interrupted a couple of times a day by the Coors train.  Some shifts do not even have a train, but RTD has the flaggers for both directions.  Gives you confidence in their planning process doesn't it?


I doubt grounding will do anything, or taking  away her cell phone.  She will just rebel more.  I would rather see her in Professional Mental  Intervention.


United just gave me another reason not to fly with them. I quit flying United yeats ago after their customer service went all to heck and a United flight I was on had broken seats (at least ine seat with no seat back).
The gentlemen was within his rights to refuse to deplane. He was a paying customer who expected to be transported between Point A and Loint B. He wasn't causing any trouble. If I were in his shoes I would have refused as well.
The critics in this comments section are absolutely wrong.


If she is worried about what people will think of her, that is, future employers, she should think before she types or tweets.  Some people are social media idjuts, ala Donnie Trump.  As the old saying goes, better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than open it and remove all doubt.  Well, Ms Khan, you're the architect of your own demise.


Sorry, but like with those who advocated for marijuana prohibition, you are on the wrong side of history.  Recent polls show there is under 50% support for the continued prohibition of adult sex work.  Furthermore, the continued prohibition of the industry is nice cover for the few legitimate cases of 'trafficking.' That is people who are in the business against their will.  For those of us who think that real trafficking should be entirely the focus, law enforcement's hit rate usually falls somewhere close to 1% in these huge stings.  That's because it's a small problem hidden in the giant sea of adult sex work, that they need to sift through.  The DOJ has studied this carefully, but didn't like the results which showed how small a problem trafficking really is so they hid their numbers.  Look at the work of professor Ric Curtis of Columbia University, or of investigator Jerry Markon of the Washington Post, who uncovered the real numbers about this false 'trafficking' epidemic.


Thank you for your first hand experiences. Yes, Site C is wrong for many reasons.

Ms. Clark wanted to point to employment gains. Very sad she would let her vanity rule instead of scientific and fiscal responsibility. I'm amazed at the vast area of destruction that has already taken place. Huge cost overruns are guaranteed.


And people may wish to review the recent crash landing in Halifax.


The sooner we drain the swamp in Ontario, Alberta and federally the sooner we can recover the disaster of progressive ideology that Wynne, Notley, and Turdough have condemned Canadians to.

Canada has had enough of this progressive madness.


Except for the tarmac visit, those investigations are concluded.  They took years, cost millions, and concluded no crimes occurred or that no reasonable prosecutor would file charges.  I am surprised you were not aware that Benghazi, the IRS, and email server issues were investigated.


Exactly what I have been saying...we are so close folks, elect me and I will finish the job....


No she isn't ---she's siding with democrats . As for us Alaskan's , we should be ashamed of ourselves . We use way more than our share of medical insurance . We drink , use drugs , over eat and milk our insurance benefits . Since we get free PFD money we feel are entitled to free medical care as well.  On top of that , we love Planned Parenthood which is killing thousands of nearly born Alaskan babies every year . Lisa really loves them too.  That's perhaps the main reason she's turning democrat on us.


ADN makes big deal about color comments and then let's idiots comment


Team Trump sure acts guilty

If this is all harmless - which is fully possible - why do they continue to lie and deny or for that matter, why does Trump insist on constantly talking about it???  Seems like terrible strategies if you want this to go away.

If you're innocent, tell the truth about everything and otherwise shut up about the whole thing.  You aren't helping yourself otherwise.


You leftist, have ranted about man made global warming for so long. And all your claims have never materialized in any way. In the 70's you claimed by the year 2000 Florida would be under water. All major cities on the coast line would be under water... the sea hasn't rised as you claimed. Why should America pay for your lies?!?!?


Roy,  your team lost ,  get over it.


It was interesting to see the costs that the startup in the article was quoting in Upper New York State, 20,000 dollars to start. Further they were not expecting much cost savings over natural gas due to it's relative cheapness in the market now. The other bit of information that was eye opening was the depth of the piping. Over 500 feet straight down! So deep in fact that they anticipate that the owners of the house will have to procure a mining permit. In New York I'd say that with the environmental regulations, that could be expensive to acquire and time consuming. But all alternatives should be explored.

One alternative that I tout, which is repressed time and time by the electric/battery crowd, is fuel cell technology. If you look to silicon valley they are very heavy into large fuel cell generators as back up power generators. I could see fuel cells as a viable alternative to provide the electrical needs of electrical forced air systems that a home would require.


Probably had a PAP test on his file from 2014 and nobody caught it. Who looks at their own electronic health file anyway? Maybe we all should.


I don't think he can :)


I can see why MSW would want to travel back in time to 1976 instead of lingering here in the ugliness of the present moment. I remember the bicentennial year quite well. The Vietnam war had just ended, Richard Nixon had been driven out of office, and everyone was in a celebratory mood, and in the spirit of the seventies, everyone was letting it "all hang out." The giddiness in the air that year gave birth to the election of Jimmy Carter, one of the most decent (if politically naive) presidents ever to serve. It was a happy time, and the nation, even at 200, still seemed young at heart.

Now, four decades later, the nation seems old, weary, and cynical, with a bitterly divided electorate and a once-proud, now-decrepit democracy that has become as old and dysfunctional as our aging infrastructure. It would be nice if we could somehow recapture the youthfulness and spirit of unity from 1976, but that cannot happen any more than lost virginity can be restored. What's gone is gone.


I don't agree that the silent majority agree with her. Her comments blatantly ignore the terrible social conditions on many reserves, which are a direct result of previous generations of Canadians supporting the wanton destruction of First Nation's people's family life. No amount of "educational advantage" can replace the complete loss of family support and cultural identity.  And if she thinks her obvious scam of trying to divert attention to reserve's spending practices is working, let me disabuse her of that notion.  It looks cynical, vicious and typical of the right wing - money counts more than people.  Thank goodness some people in the Conservative party have at least a little bit of social compassion - unlike Ms Beyak.


Nope. A free press that includes all biases, right and left, is vital to a democracy. What, do you want our government to decide what you can see and hear? You know, like North Korea, China and Russia?


Well said.  I have yet to find a doctor who has a clue about the cost of what they charge, let alone show any concern for my financial health.   Doctors are manipulated toward advising very expensive meds and say very expensive diesgnostics.  Follow the money.    Docs are people, fallible, some amazing, some last in the class.


So, when an oil spill eventually happens, how much winds up in the Susitna River?


too funny.  it is people like you with little to no knowledge of science who haven't a clue.

we can only recycle 10% of the solar panels set to be decommissioned with a huge number yet to come.  no planning and green talking points and salesmanship have gotten us here.

grow up and get an education in the hard sciences instead of whining like a spoiled brat


There was this guy, John Ballaine, who most Alaskans never heard of who had a dream around 1900. He decided what Alaska needed was a railroad to the center of the state. This was before cars. He laid out the route and began construction in 1903. Workers laid track from what would become Seward To Turnagin Arm by 1907. Sadly that was the year of the Wall Street "Panic of 1907 which occurred because so much gold was found in the Klondike, Nome, Fairbanks and Australia its value dropped to the floor. Ballaine's dream died that year as his Canadian investors panicked and withdrew funding. The federal government finished the Alaska Railroad using Ballaine's route in 1923.
Probably some lessons here about the role of Wall Street effected investments, federal involvement, foreign investors and of course dreams...


There is no such thing as a Fiduciary. Other countries that say they have Fiduciary are lying. There is no such thing. What they mean to say is the regulators will decide what you sell, period. But, as a client, and it is my money, I don't want to manage the money the way regulators tell me too. I want to manage it the way I and my advisor want to. If trailers are the way I want, I should get Trailers. If I don't want Trailer fees , I should get that.
The way it is now, the rules are already there. Have trailers if you want and if you don't , don't buy funds with Trailers.


You re correct EKK - he should have imposed the ban on SA as well. Thanks for point that out!


GOOD FOR HIM....:)


We do not live in 7 BC, we live in 2017 where many of the words we use today have absolutely no resemblance of their original intent. take fag for an example. Furthermore There are many forms of punishment that have absolutely nothing to do with harming, as well as other forms of punishment that do harm because that is the only way said pupil will learn the discipline.


Legitimate establishment hit by "scumbags", close facility and the public suffers!  Auwe!


That's quite a reach you have their Mike!


Typical Caldwell Administration demonstration of " leadership" !! Useless, unwanted, UGLY, but, most of all arrogant & draconian. Mr. Mayor & the idiots called the City Council, instead of forcing your idiotic ideas on the public, who don't you obtain the public's  input ?? I KNOW you think you're smarter than your constituents, but remember: YOU serve the public, NOT the other way around. You may soon see yourself out of a job with your arrogance !!!


Well, those are certainly accusations. Got any facts to back that up?


You “went there”, dog brain!


Part of what's wrong with CarGo is that the DP, KOA, and Root Sports spend a lot of their daily coverage talking and writing about what's wrong with CarGo.  If these pretend journalists had something new to report......great.  Rehashing week's old material is neither news or insightful commentary.


DearEthan. I was relieved to see you are not an English teacher. I am sure your olelo Hawaii skills are good and that is more important. As a past DOE student,  I recognize the importance of giving credit where it is due, and making do with what we have.  Please revisit your section, "Listen" and see if it reads as you intended. Mahalo for taking the time to express what no doubt hundreds of teachers here are thinking.


I agree, the government should act on this but Guy Giorno, what was he doing on pushing for this? It's probably not becasue he wants PR but because he wants to put Trudeau on the spot.


That unsubstantiated (and libelous, if untrue) assertion which may have occurred ten (10) years ago seems a bit farfetched.

If she was the 'victim' ten years ago, why did she go "on to work for OBF until recently"?  He became Director in 2014.

But it does match the sexual enthusiasms that the U of O is noted for pursuing; why did she leave 'recently'?


He can oppose from anywhere and with all the money he wants to spend.  I think he wants to run against Trump.


There is no such thing as "free tuition." Expenses need to be paid, and guess who pays for these.


Lets not forget that WE HAD A DAMN GOOD SKETCH OF THE KILLER after the second July killing. Imagine that: Can you identify this man? Do you know someone who looks like this and owns a 357 hand gun?

I think there's a damn good chance that might've worked.


Why should he be charged? Are you saying he forced the young woman to purchase/ingest the heroin?


Whazzie: and that made all the difference, sport! Learn to play like this consistently and those points will come in quicker than most think.


If you say so.

Boy, you sure showed me who's boss.


My only Question is:  3 staff attorneys chosen were all Democratic party donors?????  Impartial body investing a Republican?????   How would the liberal press handle this matter?  Can the public rely on this body to conduct a Fair and Impartial investigation?????  The Amazon CEO is the owner of the one of the liberal media!  Conspiracy theorist believe the existence of a cabal of billionaires that are behind scene for much of the schisms that have ensued after the Trump victory!


I realize far right wacko don't care because it is ok if you are republican.  You can lie all you want and its ok if you are republican.  Well I don't accept this hypocrisy and will call this liar out everry chance I get.  So Dragon, how are you enoying your new job building the wall?  Isn't the new health care plan simply wonderful?  lol  Keep enjoying the do nothing president.  He is good for a few laughs.


Bill, I agree with you on the main point here. That the Clinton campaign rigged the Democratic Party's choice for 2016 is terrible. My comment above doesn't dispute that. It's about the 90% or so of the letter above that reads like Russian propaganda. I'm curious: Are you okay with Russian intervention in a U.S. election? Are you sure there wasn't any? And, if not, are you sure it had no impact? Do you want investigations to get to the bottom of it? Do you believe Donald Trump's statement that it's all a hoax?


Why is it you lefties ignore facts? We have good information about who uses social services.  That's not in dispute.


The Charter prohibits the government from imposing a general dress code; that would be a denial of freedom of expression.


There is a subtle but very important difference.

Many Vat II minded people are willing to respect that some people may prefer pre-Vat II style worship. (So recognising it is a strange but legitimate choice)

But it seem to me that there is a solid core of pre-Vat II minded people want to say that Vat II is heretical ... (So saying it is an illegitimate choice.)

So pastoral openness to certain people who prefer the style of the pre-Vat II Mass is, I would say, generous.
Whereas ...


What I am saying is that if a choice has to be made between dead people in Eugene and dead people in North Korea, I prefer the live people to be in Eugene.

Whether that is done by assassination of the President of North Korea, a fuel-air bomb on his nuclear stockpile and his ICBM storage and manufacturing sites or in some other way is the tactical choice of the people who do that.

The United Nations has declared his stockpiles or both nuclear weapons and his attempts to develop ICBMs illegal numerous times; we are still at war and he has violated the cease fire.

You are certainly not providing any viable alternative.  Presidents going all the way back to Carter have tried appeasement.

This particular third-generation crime family deserves 'regime change' at least as much as Assad and Gaddaffi, if not more.


I think if I had to choose a replacement, I would go with Neschek for now, considering he just throws strikes and doesn't give up free bases. This has been Holland's issue as guys are not taking the bait on his slider and have a more patient approach. Therefore, he is giving up free passes nightly. I believe his ERA since the break is 7+...that cannot be your closer regardless of how well he has performed earlier and for Black to say otherwise is just baffling.


While I'm not a religious person by any stretch of the imagination, I'm beginning to think that Trump may be a close resemblance of the Anti-Christ.  He's dazzling right-wingers by the millions, wields insults against women, tramples on our liberties, and comes across as an anointed evil narcissist.  Frightening that Trump will be taking over the Republican Party.  Shake hands with the Devil and you'll get burned.  The Republican Party is sizzling.


You're kidding, right? "...governed along centre-right lines"? Where were those 'lines' when the Liberals were adding tax after tax, and massive debts, on BC residents? What taxes and debts you say? They stole money from ICBC, raised everyone's insurance rates to do it, and have just about killed the insurance company. They forced BC Hydro to invest billions in dubious projects which sent the company into massive debts that BC citizens are responsible for. They downloaded so many costs onto municipalities that massive tax increases were required on homeowners, etc. I could go on, but hopefully you understand that the BC Liberals were as 'Tax-and-Spend' as any left wing government has ever been


For decades Canadians have been taxed to the hilt by a public sector which is out of control and the services delivered are being steadily stripped away.  Commencing January 2017 it will be Carbon taxes. In the near future we can expect another layer of taxes in the form of infrastructure user fees.   Governments are asking large Public Sector Pension Funds to buy into the infrastructure ownership plan.  These Pension Funds have been created and supported by public tax dollars, now they are going to gouge even more.  The hand that feeds is being bitten again.


LW1: Good grief, they've TOLD you what they will do-- believe them. I wouldn't be hanging out with such an emotionally unstable nutjob. I would de-friend them; they will befriend you if you have the audacity to procreate anyway.


Absolutely agree. There was no need for Mr. Frei to make his original statement, and his lengthy "apology" (or whatever that was) displayed his muddy thinking. He was making some kind of comparison between American soldier deaths in World War II and someone who won an international race the day before Memorial Day. It seemed unnecessarily to bring nationality (or race?) into a sports activity for no good reason.


Nemo,
First, learn what neo-conservatism is, then discuss it.


People of the United States vs. People of the United States
We're tearing ourselves apart...just read the comments from start to finish....sad, sad, sad.


The advisors I have had to pleasure to talk to have nothing but garbage to say.  They say it beautifully but ask them a real question and you will notice you will never get an answer.  They are like used car salesmen except you are handing over your life's savings for a long time.  This is so important there should be some kind of registry where advisors must register the contents of the portfolio's (minus personal info) they manage and all the costs, gains and losses (present and past).  A person could then make a decision not based on how good they sound (about a topic the consumer knows little about) but about how well they have managed assets their entire career.  Love to see this for authors of financial articles too.


No not a short timer 59 years here just trying to give others who don't live on the KP a location they could relate to.


I'm sad to read this. The folks working there are now going to be under additional stress worrying about thier jobs. And our local economy certainly would be impacted if a closure or reduction in force happens.


Hear hear!

However, her sentiments are echoed by a growing segment of Canadiana, and I cite as evidence the rise of Harper and how emboldened his leadership made those "deplorables" in Canada who tried to defend their attitudes by calling it "anti-PC".

Vigilance against her views gaining ground in the population is required.


Yeah, yeah, and I fly the confederate flag because I love my proud southern heritage. Never mind that it was a battle flag in a war to preserve freaking slavery.

Yes, there are people who are attached to the crucifixes and stuff because of "heritage". They do exist. Their heritage is just about as valuable as that southern US slaver heritage. Remember what you said about the Catholic church being oppressive? Well, was it or wasn't it?

There are also damnsure people who are attached to the crucifixes for religions reasons. And if there were no such people, there wouldn't be enough of the "culture" people to keep the things on the walls.

Furthermore, personally worn symbols of "active, personal faith" deserve a whole lot more leeway than government-endorsed expressions of attachment to either a religion OR a traditional heritage of religious oppression.


Facebook please!!


I find it amusing, and very telling,  when liberals use McCarthy-like tactics against their enemies.
"Have you no shame?"
LOL


"Our country needs a clear path to citizenship for contributing members of our communities without access to documentation."

What?!?! Everyone has access to documentation. There is a very clearly defined and documented process for entering and then staying in this country. Absolutely nobody is "without access to documentation."

Québec was the first province to introduce mandatory Islamic studies in the public school system; in effect, sacrificing gains made during the Quiet Revolution to accommodate the Religion of Peace, after denying the Catholic Church the right to interfere in the public education system.
http://boreal.ca/TYC/TheFuture.htm

"Gérard Bouchard and Charles Taylor, concluded in 2008 that no such crisis exists. "

If  no such crisis existed why their recommendation to accommodate Islam's beliefs, fears and phobias within a ostensibly secular public school system.

Bill 62 is not as accommodating as the legislation that made a joke of a secular public school education, but is eminently  reasonable nonetheless.


Go back and tell your ancestors 25,000 years ago to be vegan.   Since it would probably be the fastest route to human extinction it would have been the best thing for all the other species on this planet.

Micro-causes like "don't wear down", "don't eat meat" miss the bigger picture.   The big issue is there are too many of us around.   It's a problem.


roy, you are bordering on some mental issues here. Life will go on...breath in.......out....in.....out........life will go on buddy......in....out....relax. Ask your therapist what is best to do at this extremely low and obviously devastating  point in your life. Defeat is a hard thing to swallow but life will go on.


How about to vote?  Or get married? Or buy a car?  Or choose your own job?  Or choose your own education?  Or choose where you want to live?

Any problems with those at 18?

Sounds like the "Make the Rich Pay" argument that has underpinned every Marxist revolutionary in history.
How has Marxism turned out?


Interesting viewpoint. Last week in this newspaper the state legislator said the current prison population in this state is busting the state budget yet some say here that addicts who have committed no crimes should go to prison because federal "tax" money should not be used to treat addictions. The point that I am making is that addiction is a huge financial burden on society, some addicts do not hold jobs, they get divorced, do not support their kids and sell drugs and commit crimes to get money to fuel their addiction and tie up our court system which costs a lot of state money. So no matter how society deals with addicts they costs a lot of money to the communities and the states they live in. Better to spend my tax money on treating them and giving them an opportunity to live a useful life rather than spend decades in the "system" on the state dime.  I know addicts who have been treated and they do reclaim their lives, it happens all the time.


Contrary to popular belief, "freedom of speech" does NOT extend to the workplace.

There is no loophole in the existing plastic bag law.  The environmentalists are trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist.  There is no mounting trash problem, bags blowing the wind, choking saline, etc.  Our weak kneed City Council is just giving in to the environmental' hysteria!


I don't take Clinton's affair lightly at all. In addition to Clinton acting badly and beneath the dignity of the presidency, the scandal had debilitating repercussions for the Democratic Party to this day. What if Al Gore, who almost certainly was personally aghast at Clinton's behavior, hadn't felt compelled to distance himself from a popular president? I agonize to think of how the the direction of the country would have been different had the disastrous George W. Bush not been appointed.


what if the ideology is not consistent with canadian values?


Because no one gets killed in an auto accident?


So predictable.  Rick is the mouthpiece of the anti-ADFG crowd, primarily since ADFG wouldn't let him be a real biologist, but instead confined him to moose-vehicle and bear-mt. bike rider conflicts in Anchorage.  When you see Rick write something you should instantly think "anti ADFG" and move on to the next thing.  You will not see Rick talk about people in rural Alaska literally starving before ADFG scientists rescued moose and caribou populations after a statutorily-required public process, which were validated by several different superior court judges, but I'm sure he scored brownies points with his crowd for this article.


Talked to a guide for one of these outdoor adventure programs once.  He said the execs who did do well likely didn't need to do the program.  The execs who didn't do well - apathy, complaining - likely didn't get anything out of it. Net sum zero.


AT:  ah, yes.....it's all Obama's fault.....Who's stable?  Well now...no one I know of has claimed either of these guys are stable.  Press releases....How about video clips of comments and actions from both of them.  You postulate the "madman theory" of diplomacy.  ..make everyone think you're nuts and they won't mess with you.  Remember, KN does have the ability to launch massive strikes at SK, including nuclear attacks.  I think you're "buying into" the "biggest bully on the block" theory of international relations.

"Hillary lost the election immediately after she called millions of Americans deplorable "

That was absolutely a huge blunder, but it wasn't the only factor. There was also:

The Dunning-Kruger Effect (bigly)
Poor ego-development, delusion, avoidance
Electoral College distortions
Partisanship
Russian meddling

I was totally just kidding about that June.  I truly wish you the best outcome for the contest, and I hope that your property will fall into the hands of some folks who will make the best of it and carry on that unique endeavor of farming in the great land of Alaska. Good luck to all....  p.s. by the way, did you want that 500K in 20's or 50's ? (: (:


Back in the 70s and probably ever since, there's been a small but very intense group of people in Eugene who almost always attempt to hijack any peaceful demonstration or protest, and turn it into something that will necessitate police intervention. I'm not alone in thinking, then and now, that at least some of them are undercover FBI or other Federal agency, just like in the CoIntel days.


Last month, for example, courts blocked the administration from deporting more than 1,000 Iraqis with horrific criminal records, claiming they might face threats back home.

Think of the idiocy of that ruling.....no doubt by a Barry O appointed judge no?

its all good and well for the Concourt to have a made that judgement, ostensibly to protect the rights of "tenants". But it certainly has not helped with the bigger picture.

Firstly they are not tenants, they are squatters. They are also not homeless, because they have occupied a building, outside of the law. But they will be homeless if evicted, in spite of the initial action of squatting being against the law.

The owners have abandoned their buildings because it is more profitable to do so, or it incurs less spending. Whatever.

One has to feel some sympathy for the city, who has to take action, because the CBD needs to be reinvented, which needs investment, which requires at least some measure of gentrification, which requires evictions, which requires building or providing alternatives, etc etc.

And all the while, the National Governmnent, who is primarily to blame for creating the economic circumstances forcing the migration in the first place, is nowhere to be seen or heard.


Can't we ship these misunderstood people to places where they can rob, shoot and kill to their hearts content? Like a deserted island where they can kill each other like the cannibals they are.


No he will will not . He is obviously a "media creative" and will be given a promotion, to a senior post within the Vatican Publishing House; with special responsibility for Papal Bulls.

"Funded by the public" in Canada means low standards, little ethics or morals and no following government legislation.  But professors and faculty love their jobs: they are government workers with tenure and pensions.  So they want to keep the gravy train going, like secondary and elementary school teachers.  Just keep it all going, all me, me, me.  No matter the effect to the community or society.


Go to Right wing sites, where you can avoid rational people pointing out reality...


The CBC Board is almost entirely Harper appointees, some of whom were re-appointed early before the election.


How about all these people wanting to get in the pot business just get a real job.


"but weren’t things more equitable in this country when we had a progressive income tax?"

The people doing all the paying aren't the ones getting anything out of it, how is that fair. I would go for a income tax based on "gross" income but not based off federal taxes. Half of Alaskans would very little if anything based on federal taxes, I don't think that's right, plus the losers in charge would see to it taxes only went up and up and up.


Why does the very dangerous black supremacist rhetoric we hear every day get a free pass, Melanie?


Ah yes. The turtle race.

And contrary to Dieter's claim, that section of highway is not "extremely busy".


ANMC has won Magnet status three time in a row.  I remember that when it was awarded Magnet status the second time, it was the first time any hospital had ever achieved Magnet twice.  That means that nurses have a very high satisfaction rate in their jobs, so it's not just patients.

Frankly, it is the best healthcare I've ever received, and it also comes from the nicest medical staff I've ever met.   Patients are treated very well.  The difference is not the lack of copays, however much people may appreciate that.   The differences that make SCF and ANTHC so successful are cultural and values based.   It's pretty clear to me that non-Native America really does not have what it takes to be able to provide such good healthcare.   The dominant values are antithetical to nurturing and healing, and especially to sharing.   People would need to be able to do all those things and more in order to give great healthcare like SCF and ANTHC do.


Sincere condolences to all of the families and friends of the missing. The Bering Sea, when angry, can be a huge monster that swallows up everything in it's path.


I understand the politicians are using this issue as a distraction and a ploy to continue to attack the EPA, but why is it that a group of fisherman from TEXAS are supporting a mine in Alaska that is owned by a multinational corporation which, if built, would certainly negatively effect salmon in the Bristol Bay watershed and wouldn't put a dime in their personal pockets?  Once again the cognitive dissonance is staggering.


I can see why you would disagree with me but not why you would be baffled by what I said.  The very clear implication made by your argument is that guns should be allowed on campus because there is a need for them to be on campus to protect the innocent children and such from what?  The "Gangbangers and criminals" as you so eloquently stated.  If those "gangbangers and criminals" aren't hanging out on campus, then why then need for the legislated proliferation?  are you saying that UA campuses are laden with these criminal types?  That certainly has not been my experience. I won't bother to discuss why gangbanger might be considered a racially charged term.  If you would like to play coy with race go right ahead but don't expect people not to call you out on it.


Frederick Minshall: Thank you for referring to me as Sir, capitalized even. Despite all your negative attributes, you've taught me a new word: "scarper". Thanks Mr Minshall!

The larger issue here is the continuing investment in fossil-fuel infrastructure.  We should be spending money to build smart grids to integrate wind and solar; to develop grid-scale storage through large battery, pumped hydro and hydrogen facilities; to speed the introduction of electric vehicles etc.  Oil pipelines are so 20th century.  The danger to the water supply from the pipeline is one thing, the danger to the planet from continuing to emit greenhouse gases by burning the fuel that will flow through the pipeline is of a different order of magnitude.  As the Trump administration tries to ramp up fossil-fuel use we will have to engage in protests on a much larger scale.


Great!  This sounds like a winner!  How much can I buy??

It will be easy, all I have to do is sell my Bre-X shares to raise cash to buy WHY.  Oh, wait a minute . . .


This tends to be true for other public entities....cities, special districts, school districts, etc.  Today far too many decisions are made based on "oh gosh, will we be sued?" instead of on principles and sensible policies.  These public bodies usually decide it's cheaper to roll-over, pay the ransom and move along.  It ends up costing a great deal of money and, at the same time, undercutting the credibility of the institutions.  The attorneys do very well though.

Keen was fired because she shut down the Chalk River isotope producing reactor because of safety concerns.   Gary Lunn and Harper disagreed, fired her and re-opened the reactor.   One year later, it had to be shut (this time for over a year) because of leaks - proving that Keen was correct.    Furthermore, the second shutdown caused an isotope supply crisis.   So not only did Lunn and Harper ignore Keen's advice, they failed to secure backup supply channels for the medical isotopes.    Raitt infamously called the crisis "sexy" in an internal email..


The state of Oregon goes to extreme lengths to keep children with their biological parent/s. Tons of resources are thrown at the parents. Studies show that kids do best with bios. I tend to disagree....


This sounds more like a fudge-it than a budget.


It strikes me as being impolite.


The same stereotyping you have of villagers could also be applied to rednecks living in trailer parks, blacks from the inner city, et al. Trying to put broad labels on a group of people is rarely accurate and never helpful.


What’s so stunning about it?   Melalina Joly is just a star stuck airhead with a pretty face who was only picked for cabinet because of her looks.  She enjoyed the spotlight and the flirtation with Pretty Boy Justin but never had any business doing serious government work.

tRump's transition team members are liars.  It's taken them nearly a week to so-call "disavow," requesting a list of federal employees.  They'll now disavow the request publicly but once tRump takes office, if he makes it that far, then they'll go behind the public's back and dredge up another witch hunt.  That's what tRump does in his business practices.


Is coding part of the curriculum?


I can appreciate a person who stands up for what he believes in and does and teaches people what is in the bible. In the US though there is a separation of church and state law in the constitution. Churches shouldn't determine social laws because of the separation clause. ACS has done well, but I think if Prevo focuses more on bible based teaching it will continue to do well and influence another generation of Christ believers.


You want to end the anti-FA (First Amendment) it's simple, solve the communist violence of the antifa the way we have always solved issues with masked communist, remove the mask and put them in jail for a long time, give them felony records that they can't weasel out of like and ex-kgb agent, ruin thier stupid lives.

Antifa want violence, give it to them, end thier future in the most brutal way possible. if 20 or so commies don't go home, then the rest will probably not come back. The other outcome will be what all commie movements end in, massive holocaust

According to a close friend, Perhaps Benazir was right about something else, as well. On more than one occasion she told me she was virtually certain that Osama bin Laden was not living in a cave in the mountainous region of Afghanistan or Pakistan. “He’s living comfortably somewhere in Pakistan,” she would say. “He’s being supported and protected by Pakistani intelligence. You can bet on it.”
.
She stated an extremist claim to the murder of Osama Bin Laden, but there was "No direct evidence".

Sound like one of those freeloaders who uses this mindset to rationalize sitting on your ass drawing max public assistance.  Newsflash were on to you, and your days of a free ride on someone else's hard earned dime are over.


What are you doing here using common sense? In the political correct world the US military would create the Hallmark division.


14 hours later and neither Big Glenn nor the geniuses who agreed with him have ventured to say what their problem is with the Canadian legal approach to hearsay - or how it does away with the presumption of innocence or the criminal burden of proof in sexual assault cases.

There's a shocker.


Yeah? Then please do cite it. I agree, we are a liberal democracy, which any credible expert will confirm to you is just another way of saying "a constitutional republic."


Sorry to learn about your comprehension impairment.


"...but what makes him truly dangerous..."
Agree, Mike AA but I would add that a close second would be his idolatrous and rabid supporters who have bought into his agenda, third would be the ideological right-wingers who will use his vices for their agenda.


It still represents Francis' thought. More than once, I have written something for someone else's signature. Every time, that person has gone over what I have written quite closely, so that he or she would be prepared to sign off on what I have written. I particularly remember one memo, which I wound up re-writing four or five times before my boss was willing to accept it.

You say we should look for Christ, not Francis, as if the two were mutually exclusive.


MB:  I am not shaming anyone I am merely pointing out the senseless nature of this loss.  This should not have happened and I am sorry for the grief it has caused the family and village.  I'm not chastising anyone for "trying to survive" but if this is an example of "trying to survive" you may want to reconsider.


If people didn't want, or have to know why they (or someone else..say a criminal) act the way they do, there wouldn't BE any shrinks.  They serve a legitimate purpose, and many of our laws are based on criminalizing aberrant behavior that is unacceptable in society.  Do the mores of society change? Sure, and obvious aberrant behavior sometimes is "legitimized", if not as "normal", then "acceptable" to a society on a downward spiral.  What is "normal" is based on many factors, biology, culture, religion,  etc. among them.  Usually, it's just a matter of common sense.
But, I think I'll go with a "court accepted" expert with decades of experience in dealing with those who aren't.  If someone else comes up with a more plausible reason for people who seek to destroy our Constitution, Rights, rule of law, family, etc.  I'll entertain their view as well!


I didn't flag you, Lamont, not my style -- your comment inoffensive though hypocritical, your neutral pose amusing, when we have a whole thread considering Ms. Duncan's unfitness but are apparently not to cite the general unfitness of Conservative regimes and their supporters re- matters of science in particular (Mr. Harper notorious for his scientist-muzzling).


You're welcome. The simple plural doesn't need an apostrophe.


Will Trump be good for the USA like GW Bush was? Two wars, 7,000 American soldiers dead and 3,000,000,000,000 spent. That money could have wiped out poverty in the USA in one day.

As for negotiating, the Americans have been pretty good at it. You don't become a hyperpower without negotiating skills.


This argument has been raised squarely before the Australian Royal Commission whose experience is that survivors find galling the Church’s failure to dismiss these abusive priests and religious. Civil society insists on “zero tolerance” for certain kinds of professional misconduct: lawyers who steal clients’ money, doctors who sexually abuse sedated patients and teachers who sexually abuse pupils are permanently struck from the register. The survivors ask: why are priests and religious treated differently under canon law? Church supervision has been tried over the past 50 years and failed miserably. The Murphy Commission in Ireland looked at it and rejected it. Many of the Royal Commission’s case studies have shown it was tried and failed in Australia. Justice McClellan pointed out that the Church could impose the same restrictions on dismissed priests and religious in return for the support that canon law requires when they have not been dismissed.


I think people need to be a little careful about conflict of interests, particularly when it comes to making medical policy.

What you want are open minds who are willing to review the data in an intelligent manner.  Just because an individual has worked closely with industry doesn't mean that he/she cannot meet these goals.  In fact, it may be a sign that the people is imminently qualified and may be exactly the right person for the panel.  In contrast, just because someone has had no interactions with industry doesn't necessarily mean they have an open mind either.  It is quite possible for a person to have preconceived, incorrect,  notions of what needs to be done.  An excellent example would be the change by Ontario to no longer fund high doses of opioids.  There are people out there, such as palliative cancer patients, who need these medications, and this decision was made without consultation with palliative care experts.  No conflicts doesn't necessarily mean open mind.


How are you not getting this? There were no problems to address. We still need to have an AGM to approve the financial statements and budget and appoint the auditor for the next year. We need 30% of people to show up for an hour or less once a year to achieve this task. A notice should be all that they need because they've all invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into their units. However, we also indicated that people should let us know if there are any issues they would like to discuss as we would ensure it was brought up during the meeting. We also said we would be open to hearing any issues people had at the meeting. We still had to go knocking door to door ten minutes before the meeting started in order to reach 30%. And we didn't even get 30% to go! Some people who were home STILL wouldn't come, but signed a proxy at their door. It's almost comical. We held the meeting in the lobby... downstairs... they could have worn their pajamas... I don't know what else we could do.


I am not sure about Canadas chances of an equal trade deal with Mexico.  The economies are too different, wages, standards, costs of production, corruption in Mexico from the top down etc etc.  When someon in Canada is making $5K a month for a job that can be done for 500 bucks a month in mexico the playing field is always slanted towards Mexico and Canada will lose out.


And shifting to a replacement-population mindset is a massive challenge, both in western society and in other regions of the world.

I get it. You probably also had a good foundation to start with. My son had a solid foundation and could question and respond to issues that came up in class. Others didn't have that benefit and the waters of faith just got muddied.


So we're sending more troops to Afghanistan (despite a campaign promise not to) while simultaneously calling back our top diplomat for the region? No wonder the generals are worried the WH doesn't have a strategic plan.


I agree its strategic, but its as much aimed at the NDP.  Wynne basically is carving out the left from within the ONDP, again.  All the ONDP has is unionised urban hotbeds and the odd personal fiefdom.

Brown  has no choice but to let this one go.


Is the state afraid to build that bridge cause it has been in the news forever. I hate it when I hear some one say "we should have built this years ago when it was affordable. That bridge will be built someday. Who is paying who to block/stop construction on that one bridge that will make sense later. After they get through butchering permanent funds, there will be a lot of people moving out anyway. This money could be found if some one wanted it bad enough.


I'm with Windfall.  I drive 1,000-km days when I go on vacation four times a year.  Having to wait for a recharge every 400 km -- a lot less in cold months -- would really screw up my trips.  It would put me back at least half a century in terms of car daily performance.

So what are they showing courage against.  Why are they not showing courage for all the veterans who have over the years died for their country and the ideals that have kept this country strong.  He is obviously not the first idiot president that we have had (and he most surely won't be the last), but you players not respecting the flag & the anthem, let alone the veterans that fought and died for you to be absolute babies makes me very sad even admit I watch the Broncos


Oil prices are up 40% in the last 3 months and current forecasts call for a steady increase.


I’m saying you’re awfully free with the word generous, but you’re talking about other people’s money so why not?

You also seem to have a disconnect between the estate tax de jure and the estate tax in your head. The estate is taxed, not the person who receives it. Or more reasonably, persons. Assets not typically cash. Your living high on the hog with $5M fantasy is just that, fantasy.

Estate taxes are said the be in place because we don’t want economic dynasties, yet we have them. The very wealthy know how to avoid this tax, the not so wealthy are plucked clean with it.


Worried that the necessity of a woman being conscious is going to cut down on your action?


Using your own comments it is logical that if both Hillary and Trump were flawed, the choice was one of choosing the lesser of two evils. Thus evil wins either way.


Nothing new here. In every religion, self-serving adherents can and do interpret the "sacred writings" to justify almost any imaginable behavior.

No one ever did answer my initial question of why Mr. Orcutt was living in a campground instead of at one of the homes of his friends and family?? While he may not be a transient, he appears to live like one during his stay in Juneau. No room at the family inn??

But five whole days before notifying the police doesn't do much for the police. They have no idea if they should be looking for a live body or a dead one. They don't even know if he is in the Juneau area or not.  I never been to Juneau myself so I can't judge if their police force is racist or not. But I don't expect them to jump loops over very cold trail.

"It's especially uniting because where we live, it's the only time Bears and Packers fans agree on something," she wrote.


The early balloting sites are run just like the election day sites - votes are accounted for, audits done,  total ballots issued to the site accounted for, ballots used, ballot machine tallies printed, signed, cross referenced and reconciled.  Questioned ballots are segregated, tallied and accounted for.  The security seals are cross checked for integrity, ballot "chutes" checked for wayward ballots.  Quite a process.


Let me guess, you fail to see the irony in your own cowardly post.


Toronto Community housing owns 700+ single family homes, some are worth over a million dollars, must be nice.  Why don't they sell those off first and dedicate to their housing issues first?

Also look at who they had running their social housing under David miller.  Keiko Nakamura who was making $300,000 a year and spending scarce money on lavish trips and gifts for the employees is tchc.  These are the people that they expect to oversee the future of community housing?  Oh yes she went on to make $250,000 a year as president of goodwill Toronto, which folded under the cloud of a scandal , leaving all of their employees, many with disabilities unemployed and shattered.


What a neat distinction! Treaties you say? Maybe you forgot to mention that the Canadian indigenous people got what was coming to them because they tried to invade France and England and Spain, and were defeated, and in that defeat, as a defensive measure by the invaded countries, had their lands occupied. Oh wait, that isn't what happened? Well then, why make the comparison?


It is still my contention that had Bush and Cheney been charged with "war crimes" Trump would have never run for President! Maybe a few of those clingons would resign and the swamp would cleaned! But Trump's efforts have turned to swamp into a cesspool!


" Yard time in cramped exercise pens ":  Boo-Hoo !     These are bad people, convicted by the courts for doing bad things.  Should we provide massage therapy and free wine to make them feel better and let them play the occasional game of tennis ?


No surprise about the large number of whites protesting Trump in DC. Most of DC whites are working in government jobs that can be eliminated with the result of a better government. Those protesting want to keep their useless jobs that were obtained by who you blow or who you know and are just parasites on society. Trump should take an ax to all those useless jobs and stop the wasted spending of taxpayer money. People who are productive doing good work for society will love Trump getting rid of all the dead wood.


Himself included?


Meanwhile, the various tribunals of the Roman Catholic church are busily dissolving many perfectly valid marriages!  Have you told the tribunalists about this scriptural pericope?

In all fairness, Patrick brown never wanted this guy to be the MPP.

"Many who will ride will get rid of a second car"

That's another lie the city wants you to believe.   The rail is a limited 20 mile line.   It doesn't even go to UH Manoa, which is the root of Oahu's traffic problems.     Only if you are lucky to live next to a rail station and work near a rail station will you be likely to use a car less often.

People in Mililani, Wahiawa, West Kapolei, Nanakuli, Maile, Waianae and Makaha others will still have to drive to a train station and only Pearl Highlands and a few others will have parking.

The rail is going to make commute times loner for many, possibly most people.


I don't think that Lawrence Martin is aware how weak the Democrats are on a national,state & local level. The Democrats have to rebuild their  party as well.


My husband and I love you, Mazie and wish you the very best health outcomes.  You are a heroine in the US Senate for Hawaii and for the entire US of America.  Your dedication to democracy, democratic principals, personal ethics and the rule of law are exactly what is needed now as the nation faces down the enemy who occupies the WH.  Thank you for all you do and keep going forward in your health battle.


There is no collusion, ACFH.  If there was, it would have already have been reported, and proven.

Everything else you state is just coming from the Liberal fog machine.


How about the pressure on the availability of affordable housing for low income, TAX-PAYING Canadians who have been conscripted into paying the bill for free housing for the Syrians?

This is a prime example of administrative incompettence in the gathering and critique of crucial facts.  If these CCOs were subject to  thorough, random and unannounced  patient records review, by a REAL and impartial medical team, they would have FAILED the test miserably.
I am reminded here of the same thing that goes on within our schools. So what if a student fails a subject now and then. If they meet a certain "other" set of criteria, as written by "administrative" know it alls, PASS them anyway.
 And the beat goes on. We need competent, reliable, responsible and trustworthy folks steering the Good Ship Oregon. What we have now is quite the opposite.


Wake me up when he starts for the Vikings. Or anywhere.

Yeah, 1 .38 pistol wielded by one woman against massive military arms and armored vests and helmeted face shields and armored vehicles.  Sticks?  Rocks?  Everyone can view the videos online to dispel your bald-faced lies and unintelligent logic.  Just how stupid can you be?


Ouch! Super sunburn really hurts.


Definitiong of "bum" is a dreg on life expecting others to provide for them. Unskilled  young people just starting and holding minimum wage jobs are "workers" not "bums' you should learn comprehension as well. Medical benefits are another "earned" job benefit. But under your ACA nearly all employers cut hours so they would not have to pay for medical benefits. That is on Obama  and Reid's heads, not mine I earned my benefit package sometimes work 7/12 hour shifts and then putting in extra hours.

Following the law is not a hard concept except for Congress and this President.

No hand outs, no special interests, and as Hillary and Barack said their favorite guy was Saul Alinsky and his 8 points for radicals to control the "useful idiots" meaning you included the public, not for their benefit but for control of their lives.


Perhaps someone can explain the difference between hubris and arrogance as it appears by those who denigrate anyone without  college degree?


Please stop with the 'we are a nation of immigrants'.  No one has forgotten that, despite the ad nauseum repeated statements to remind everyone.  However, we are also a nation of laws, which are being ignored for the advantage and use of certain groups.  And stop comparing the 1800s to today, they are not the same, not by a long shot.  If you want that style of immigration it also means no welfare/support/help of any kind by the government to any new immigrants, which Im sure the same people against limiting immigration would be against as well.  We, the citizens, get to decide our immigration policy and it should be what we feel is in our best interest.  And I great many of us want it cut back for a while to deal with the undeniable massive influx we have over the past 40 or so years.  Especially with it being overwhelmingly from one demographic rather than an actual mix of peoples.

That's a shame.

Shows poor formation and a lukewarmness in the lay about their interior life.

I've often asked the question..mainly to myself (and occasionally here - and I get hammered for it):   To what extent does my own (and the lay's own) lukewarmness about their interior life "rub off" on the priests in my parish?

My hypothesis is that if we never go to confession...that poor priest who is trying to make Jesus as available as possible...is sitting quietly in that confessional..waiting..and waiting..and then thinking and then getting discouraged...or even personally weakened in their own interior life.  Why bother...

Or even if we go to confession..if we go infrequently or go superficially...without putting a mere 5 minutes into a mental examination of conscience....the priests KNOW this...they can sense it....and so the discouragement can continue.

A priest can tell whether someone is striving toward God..and I don't think I've ever met a priest who doesn't want to help.


This guy JUST figured out that politicians do not tell the truth?  Sheesh no wonder he was fired.


I have seen the homeless downtown tie their dog up and go in and have a quick beer.  To state that they do not have money to spend is incorrect.  The ENABLERS in LAME County keep giving money to these  losers............


It is asking a lot to ask people to make ultra fine judgements on contamination. The takeaway for me is if you can see it(contamination), toss it rather than recycle. So cheese(and oil) encrusted pizza boxes would go in the trash.

Yes, there is a lot of hypocrisy and self-righteousness floating around and a lot of denial. If we as a society truly cared about the environment there wouldn’t be a need for recycling at all( certainly a lot less than there is). The environment always takes second place to profit and convenience. Just employing the term "pro-environment" shows how divorced from reality we are.

I hope all that thorough washing you do is with reclaimed water. Personally, I just put mine through the used dishwater and call it good.


K-
You are deliberately falsifying their intent and you know it.  Nobody is kneeling during the anthem to slam veterans or current service members - and I know that you know this.  We both know why they are doing this: to peacefully demonstrate against racial injustice in this country.

You are free to take their protest as personally as you wish with whatever interpretation you want.  Heck, you can even claim that kneeling at the national anthem is nothing more than an advertisement for some random company that makes knee pads if you want.  But we both know why they are doing this because they have said so.  And few servicemen who understood what they meant would be as offended as you are.

I get it - you hold the national anthem as sacrosanct.  But taking umbrage at a silent, peaceful protest is taking umbrage at the very essence of our first amendment, arguably the most important portion of the entire constitution.


Ooooo...schadenfreude...had to Google that one. I don't derive any pleasure from this man's misfortune, I just disagree with the way he handled the situation. Every situation where an authority figure offends or inconveniences someone is not an outrageous violation of their rights. I would go into the dangers of "crying wolf" but my guess is we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

Just think if you taxed all the millionaires at 100%.... we could all be eating steak and lobster.  {wink}

FYI..... 235,000 tax returns report income of $1M+, totalling $727 Billion in income.

If you taxed those sorry bastards at 100%, it would run the $3.5 trillion federal government for about 2.5 months.

Then who are you going to turn to?  IDEA:  How about the 45% of American households who pay ZERO federal income tax?

Factoid:  The top rate of 94% in 1944 was on income over $200K, which is $2.7M in today's dollars.

Factoid: Buried inside a Congressional Budget Office report this week [2013] was this nugget: when it comes to individual income taxes, the top 40 percent of wage earners in America pay 106 percent of the taxes. The bottom 40 percent...pay negative 9 percent.  Who isn't paying their fair share?

Carbon dioxide is NOT a pollutant.  This carbon tax is a tax on life.


Big difference.  PCs are fiscally conservative who believe in balanced budgets outside recessions, believe in spending what is necessary for a civil society but nothing more, and having competitive taxes with other developed countries.  Liberals (at least the Trudeau/Wynne types) believe it is okay to run perpetual deficits, we should dramatically increase spending and the economy will take off without looking at its effectiveness, and that our tax rates can be one of the highest on earth without any brain drain or negative reprecussions on economic growth.  PC's aren't nativist, believe socially conservative issues are dead, and not libertarians (otherwise slightly less government, not radically less).


If Charles and all the other Royals are truly Canada's friend, they would pick up the tab once in a while rather than free loading every time.


HAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh wait, you're serious? That was a good one, just let me wipe a tear from my eye here...

What truly describes the relationship between trump and his hard-core supporters with the media: his base think media reporting of trump’s words and actions is H#ll? No, it’s not: its truth. If you don’t like the reporting, maybe you should go back to the source, trump himself, and take a long hard look at him. FOX is information for entertainment, not information for truth.


The stadium needs to be a minimum of 40,000 seats. Anything smaller will impact UH Athletic growth.


For 500 years the Muslim Ottoman Empire protected Jews, fellow people of the book, from the murderous Christians of Europe.


Conservatives my soon to be aching wallet.
People consistently tout their less government attitude during an election year when it really boils down to where the money is spent.
Where is Walker. Where is the veto


The poor bear ! So glad that he was able to get surgery and hopefully he will recover 100%!
Very interesting story !


But ... but ... what ... about ...


Ms. Cafaro has been in politics and should understand President Trump's promises were only that, promises. She should have known that many simply could not be realized.


You blather about marriage in a way that shows you don't know what actual marriage is. You then nutter about me, instead of responding.


NO NO NO NO  You knucklehead.  I said he was a Homicidal Maniac, sociopath was too polite. Holy Crap, how bunched ARE your panties?


So what I think I hear you saying is that both sides are bad.

Interesting...


Ironic, Cal belongs to the same Princess Di Industry Cult.


Chris Rock says similar things about particular people.


Would rather he had a small scandal than have him divide the country.  I do not support Clinton or Trump, but I don't think Obama did a good job either.


Another sore loser. Yawn...


Atleast Sara isn't a coward and uses her name to "own" her words--whether you agree or not.


the Red Brigade was also a force.


An even greater majority of American voters does not believe that either house of Congress has been doing a good job.  Maybe that's because the 538 are surreptitiously practicing medicine on the side!  Even so, they give NO heed to the basic needs of their women "patients".  And that means that abortions will increase rather than decrease, regardless of what they tell their constituents!


So what happens to the ballot issues?  I'll bet this result never occurred to anyone.  Did this have to be a "special" election, or could it have waited till next year?


The Honey Boo Boo snowflakes still don't get it.  Conservatives don't care what Trump does any more than liberals cared what Barack Hussein Obama did.  We want to drain the (D)swamp and Donald Trump was the only candidate on the ticket who promised to do that.  Very simple.

The left may be slow but they aren't fast.


To me, this sounds like the sort of thing which is almost banal, the type of joke that was probably said at similar events which have 'masters' for the past couple of centuries by people who consider themselves witty. That the professor said it to a Black student demonstrates insensitivity, but probably also a sense of colour blindness which would be admirable were it not so naive.


Yes ! He IS doing fine. notice how the libs like to harp on Trump for failing to pass the American Healthcare law ,however, intentionally ,they fail to recognize that it was the Republicans not Trump who failed to get it passed!  There will be another day. I see it as a good thing that it failed because now they can come up with a plan everybody likes....well maybe not the Democrats,because they Hate everything the Republicans do, so for them it's hopeless! Talking about "Hope"? Hope the republicans come up with something soon,because for now...........The Democrats OWN Obama Care! A disaster waiting to happen.


Of course, of course.  All of us father's have interceded when our kids step over the line with Russian operatives. All the time. Really.


No one would ever suggest Andrew's new shadow ministers would be angry, awkward or devious.
But they might.
By sheer coincidence!


Trump's a constant train wreck but the more important point is what legislation or executive orders are being put into place that the President's antics are distracting from.


By stretching the public interest to include every personal interest, "socialism" is made unaffordable. The process is already underway in health care. Progressives are finally catching on to the devious game.


Look for suicides to go up as people in rural Alaska can't make their bills thanks to Bill Walkers thievery


From Forbes: "What tilted company decision makers’ final decision was a recent report by well-known and respected energy consultancy Wood Mackenzie which stated that the Alaska project was “one of the least competitive” LNG projects in the world. The report was commissioned by BP, ExxonMobil and the state."

Walker!  Meyer!  An economic analysis paid partly by YOU says the Alaska LNG project is "ONE OF THE LEAST COMPETITIVE IN THE WORLD"!  Give it up you morons!  Stop wasting Alaska's money!


Tweetberg dead ahead! Are any of his aides assembling the band on his ship The Trumptanic just in case?


There's only two people in America with my name. One's on the east coast, the other one on the west coast.

Give you one guess which one I am...lol


Funny a "Christian" university clearly does not follow one of the central tenants to Christianity. The worshiping of false idols. Interesting maybe they should look for a name change.

More liberal projection.


A thousand people died from gunshots between 2009 and 2015 ?  And most of those did it to themselves ? As sad as that is , why do we avoid writing about the far greater tragedy ? Last year alone , as reported in the Dispatch , around 4000 completely innocent nearly born Alaskan's were killed by abortion .  There's little reason to think the numbers were much different in the same amount of years this gun study used , meaning during the same time period around 28,000 totally innocent babies were murdered.  Where's the outrage in that ?  Clearly the number one intenional killer in Alaska is abortion , yet few publicly care. In fact , you have Planned Parenthood supporters screaming to keep funding PP even though out of 4000 abortions last year , they were behind about 3400 of them.   On many issues things need to be put in proper perspective. Guns aren't killing most of us---abortions are killing way more . Where's the story or outrage over that ?


no party in Canada ever gets a majority of the popular vote.  Name one party provincial or federal who won over 50% of the vote!  And keep this in mind too: the BC NDP party has not won the popular vote since 1991.  They lost the popular vote for the last 6 elections in a row, including this May's election, and also in the 96 election where they won the seat count.


Elementary school level riposte.

(Not least because the directive from John XXIII was NOT part of Vatican II ––– but why let the truth get in the way of jibe!)


Unless you are from one of the native tribes that lived here before the settlers came, you too are a "locust from the coasts", possibly just a few generations removed.  If you don't want debt, then we either need to reprioritize spending to cover the infrastructure needs, or we need to raise taxes on something to pay for it.


Chuck is too thick headed to realize Bush signed the withdrawal agreement with Iraq before Obama even took office.


Where did I say, "There's no mercury in it"?

Salt is NaCl... both deadly, deadly poisons. You have an odd way of looking at things 'scientifically'.


To be fair, Netflix did pick up Schitt's Creek for Canada, though not any other country as far as I know.

There are some other Canadian shows that Netflix has picked up both locally and globally.  Trailer Park Boys, for example, is a Canadian show that Netflix is now producing and distributing in a dozen or more countries around the world.  Is this the sort of "quality Canadian programming" that the Minister thinks we should be watching?  Probably not, but it is what people around the world ARE paying to watch.

Netflix is also distributing globally the next incarnation of Degrassi along with Heartland and probably a handful of other Canadian shows or movies.  There are also numerous shows and movies on Netflix that were filmed in Canada (Hemlock Grove, Hannibal, Orphan Black, etc.).  Whether these shows count as "sufficiently Canadian" to satisfy some politician, I could not say.


Of course it was the Republicans,  The Left is too busy making fun of Trump's skin color and body parts to pay attention.


This article is not entirely accurate. What the judge ordered was that IF the defendants kept the dogs on the property, then they must be "de-barked". They could choose to get rid of the offending dogs. These are by far not the only breed of dog that can adequately protect livestock.

I applaude all veterinarians who refuse to inflict this sort of treatment on an animal for the convenience of human beings.


I think you're taking far too much offence at what is effectively little more than a throwaway line, tying the fact that our law enforcement agencies are doing very little compared to the Americans to actually investigate the corruption and fraud committed by SAP, to the little we did compared to the Americans in the war.

And I am not at all denigrating the sacrifices of our troops, nor the fact that we were one of the first Commonwealth nations to join Britain in its declaration of war on Germany (within 48 hours, I believe), but our contribution WAS minimal in comparison - the US suffered over 40 000 casualties just in the three weeks of the Ardennes Offensive, and more than 400 000 dead during the course of the war.

It does make our 11 000 dead seem pretty small by comparison.

That said, however, I know for a fact the people of Ethiopia would wholeheartedly agree with you, since it was our troops that liberated their nation from the Italians!


You have absolutely no way of knowing what kind of award a jury would have made.  Sadly we will never get to see that thanks to hug a terrorist JT.


Sure it was, HM, but the shooter was born in the USA. A Muslim ban would have changed nothing.

Your insinuation that I am a "troll" is duly noted.

If it makes you feel better to descend into personal attack, that's on you.

My question to you and other dedicated liberals here has long been a question of sharing gifts and talents without worry concerning attention and position.  The fact that men are priests is a simple reality....a part of Sacred Tradition that is not going to change according to Pope Francis.

Instead of carping and complaining, why not roll up the sleeves and simply get to work?  There are people waiting for help.  Just do it and stop worrying about who is a priest and who isn't.

Concern about ones position is not humble service - and does smack of ego.

By the way?  "Consistency of negativity"?  Have you read most of the comments here about the Church & and her priests?  Thanks for pointing it out....are those posters "trolls?"


Time also to tax dividends at the regular rate too... after all, once the IPO is done the shares are then merely sold between subsequent owners who are hoping the price goes up.. gambling really, it doesn't help the company, maybe the CEO's stock options.. but then they also should be taxed.


When the U.S. is on the verge of a boom due to "animal spirits" , why wouldn't the Loonie move up?


Wow.. Nova Scotia flooded? The data shows NO increase in the rate of rise of the oceans over hundreds of years. Thus the concerns you feel are not based on actual evidence.

No the correct comparison for BLM is the Black Panthers.

All the previous polls were based on false premises.  On Time and On Budget.  For $3.7B all the way to UH Manoa.  The question should be:  Do you want to pay for an outdated rail system forever, will reduce traffic by a mere 2%, not go to the UH and will raise property taxes just to maintain it?  Geezh!


She is assuradly going to receive a pardon.  a) Hickenpoop has nothing to lose because he's term limited and b) he owes the illegal community because of all the money they allowed him to make when he had them working in his brewery and other businesses.


Did you just say "lifestyle choice?"
Is that what your pastor calls it?
I'm as straight as they come, but can see your homophobia clearly.

Separation of Church and State - remember.


March, 2016.
"I have tremendous confidence in Americans' capacity to get the right result through their electoral system," Trudeau said.

I remember quite a few snide remarks such as that one, prior to November 8th, 2016.

The author is obviously hopeful that Trump, like he, has forgotten them.


Small steps forward.


You're correct that when white people are dying, a law enforcement problem (when black folks were dying) morphed into a public health emergency.


No worry about Boots ........he is just so proud of his new shoes so that he can walk around in all that BS and try not to get too much on himself , might I suggest coveralls ?


This topic must be expanded beyond "clergy sex abuse" to abuse of all kinds by clergy. There are priests who engage in patterns of verbal and emotional abuse which are just as damaging to the victims, and if the victims report the treatment, they are ridiculed, intimidated and manipulated to keep silent by those in authority over these abusers, who go merrily on their way, thinking, "As long as I'm not caught in bed with a woman, or a man, or looking at porn on a computer, nothing will happen." They behave like spoiled children, and those in authority enable and protect them.


Firstly, get rid of the anti Trump bias which have drunk from the MSM kool aid, and news papers appear to be deciphering trumps messages, you write?  Why the need to decipher.  All media does then 'trying to decipher' is figure out how to twist the narrative of what trump said or wrote into their version of anti Trump vitriol.  If you can read english, speak english newspapers and TV reports don't need to interpret.  This is what is wrong with society's acceptance of what they take for news.  You should get the who, what, where and why  of news and not a bias interpretation by the presenter as you so keenly seem to admire.


Are you Mrs. servilla?


That just sounds...icky

I gotta apologize to all of you who have been complaining that the "Civil  Comments" system isn't fair.  . It didn't bother me---I'd never flagged nor been flagged nor had a comment removed so just sorta thought folks were blowing hot air, that if they got a comment booted they must have deserved it.  Frankly, using my own name I'm not about to post anything  uncivil that's going to reflect  badly on me, so it was a non-issue.
Until today.  Reading Goldberg and Krauthammer's columns  I got a kick out  of seeing the way they both were struggling  with Trump and the Republicans so posted a note to that effect on both.  Krauthammer's attack  on Hillary Clinton for being "uninspiring", suggesting a reason for voting for Trump, was fun to satirize, and I cheerfully posted my comment.  To my surprise I received a message stating it was deleted  because it was "below the threshold of civil comments" or some such thing...says who?  Says what?  Says why?  A couple more of this................!


Yes, go back to amateur or only under 22 can participate. I've watched more World Junior hockey games than Olympic hockey games (everyone already knows that the final would be two of these teams: Canada, US, Russia).


It is hard to see how current illegal Pot Shop owners could pass any criminal background check for owning a legal Pot Shop.  Unless of course they had the support of politicians who broke their oath of office to uphold the drug laws of the country. Unless of course crime in Canada pays now and is legal, and the rest of us just haven't all been told? We will soon find out.


Seems like a pretty stupid situation.  If the intent was to provide the funding in the original bill - why be whiney babies?  If they think it was illegal - pass it and let the courts decide.  Now the taxpayers have wasted the money for the general session and it hasn't been resolved.  Stupid.


Deffinately call those two out. They destroyed the town I grew up in and lots of my friends lost everything. Luckily my childhood home survived the inferno. I'll never forget leaving all my moms stuff at her house and watching the fire blaze as I walked our pony to willow airport from mile 73 where he caught a shuttle to a friends house. These people are monsters.


HOW WILL REMOVING PEOPLE STEALING MILLIONS OF OUR TAX EVERY SINGLE DAY WORK TO THE COUNTRY'S DETRIMENT? I WONT BE SEEN DEAD VOTING FOR THIS PARTY EVER AGAIN.


You know, Republicans could use this opportunity to fix Obamacare. It's far easier to optimize a system than redesign a wheel. But this Republican approach is embarassing in its lack of complexity and inability to address actual healthcare issues. How does it reduce the high percentage of costs incurred by those in the last 6 months of life? It doesn't. Medical malpractice and overconsumption of services? It doesn't. Insurance company inefficiencies? It doesn't.


I don't often agree with Life of the Lay, but this time I have to agree. When did 'popularity' become a job-description for being the leader of the Roman Catholic Church worldwide? Heck,  even the word 'popular' does not properly describe what is expected of Popes these days.  Instead, it seems that 'successful' Popes must have 'rock star' qualities in regard to the size of the crowds they attract (invariably described as a million or more fawning / fainting individuals raising up their babies or doing their best to take a 'selfie' with the Pope.
     But in fairness, the requirement for 'rock star' status didn't begin with Pope Francis -- it began with Pope John Paul II.  Yes, I will admit that at first it was exciting to have a Pope visiting in the Catholic people in their home countries. I, myself went down to Grant Park in Chicago in October 1979 to see JPII in person. But enough of Papal visits already -- what counts are the teachings, not how many autographs he can sign!


Hope the prosecutors get what they want. If found guilty, it'll compensate a fraction of the lives that have been ruined, law enforcment and court system involvement, families fractured, etc. Hope we seat a good jury for this f'head.


not even the Liberals are perfect. Too much 'cost cutting' is a risk.  Should I give a partisan speech about how the Conservatives spend hundreds of millions to billions on miltary acquisitions that didn't happen (and therefore were complete waste of money). Or the cost to 'design' an existing design for an ice breaker that never got off the drawing board?

We should likely instead have built up our own capability using some sort of 'pressure hull' bought new. I'm sure the US could provide them.

I would even promote using nuclear power for submarines (developed in Canada) using or researching one of the 'small scale nuclear' options in the 50 to 100 MW range.  It could then be used to power a replacement ice breaker.


JT is merely protecting his turf. He'll say anything on his behalf.


Yes, Mr. Mead, and he will only get worse as he gets away with his distraction tactics. He's running the country like 'Celebrity Apprentice'.


Your post - while eminently true - will be censored by the anti - reality police !


Anyone who attacks children is a despicable weakling.  Calling them terrifying gives them far too much credit.  Trump was right - they're evil losers.  These people aren't going to be brought around with therapy or campfire kumbayas.  To crush them, we're going to need to get our hands dirty.  Time will tell if we are willing to do that.


Why has there been not a word of condemnation from PM Trudeau?  Does he endorse the kind of savage brutality Spain deployed against peaceful people? I thought he was supposed to stand up for empowering people.  What a hypocrite.


I don't have a skirt. It's just that I was talking to this lesbian the other day and it turns out that we both enjoy the same things in life (like eating puzzy). No s**t, we can both do it for hours. I had no idea I was a lesbian til we had this conversation. I was shocked. I always thought I was a straight shooter.


Actually I think PB should stand tall against this accusation, which everyone knows is frivolous. Heaven forbid you can’t call out a politician without threat of libel.

Their record reaaly sucks and they do things for the sole purpose of maintaining power. Shame on the electorate for continuously voting them in. We deserve what we get I suppose.


Every year, about as many Americans are killed by a third party operating a vehicle under the influence as are killed by a third party using a gun. The DUII drivers mostly kill complete strangers, while the gun users mostly kill people they know.

You are far more likely to be killed by a drunken stranger with a car than by a violent stranger with a gun, yet the public clamors for gun control far more than for stiffer penalties or more enforcement to prevent drunk driving. Senseless.


And you believe Forest Trump with his dyed hair and orange make up will change anything? C'mon be serious.......


Bring in killers and create programs to fight them after they get 10K a month from Trudeau and then hit our streets and mobilize 1000's of jobless muslim youth......

You all are getting this..

 right? You aren't that stupid - it's impossible


You do realize that the Kinder Morgan TM pipeline is already there and has been operating since the 1953 right?  The existing terminal is in Burnaby and there are already tankers in the Vancouver Harbour.


Now, there's a first-rate piece of fake news, especially since. as with his other absurd accusations, Trump has offered no evidence.  He says it will come, but it never does, does it?


The rumours I read were Joesph wanted total control of the defense and with the much better and way more experienced Phillips around, the players wouldn't listen to him. I think letting Wade go will prove to be a major blunder and the defense will decline sooner than later.

You need not respect that which is not respectable.  But you don't need to attempt annoying gestures, facial expressions or slurs toward someone with a different view of reality, either.  In the end, reality always comes out on top.


Has anyone opining on this thread ever actually experienced chronic, INTRACTABLE pain?  Obviously not.  It is has been proven for a Very Long Time that patients receiving opiate therapy for pain RARELY become addicted to their medication.  What pain medicine does for people like this is enable them to function, have a better quality of life, take care of their families, work, etc.  Another very important point:  people in severe pain never get "high" from their medication.

Most importantly:  NONE of this will stop the true addicts from pursuing a fix.  Providing help is great - but there is already help for people who need it and WANT it.  The key word is "WANT" because no amount of legislation will change a person's mind unless they want to change it.  Every single prohibition type movement has failed.  This one will fail also.  All we will see is a spike in suicides by people who have been dumped by their doctors - and a great deal more pain.


Civil discussion means anyone who sees things the way you do. You stated it clearly, Nothing Devos can offer could help anything and you don't even know what she is going to do. When I saw the newsflash come on this I knew this blog would be lit up, and had to come and speak some reason into the discussion. Your public school empire will never be torn down Gary, so please spare all of us the rhetoric. Monopolies never work, and that applies to the bloated 4J school district as well. Once Sessions is confirmed the madness will be over and we can move on.


Has anyone made this cake?  I feel like there is a wet ingredient missing from the list. I tried to make it yesterday and the batter was very thick and didn't rise. Not as easy as they say.


"Clinton blames misogyny, FBI, Russia and herself for election loss"

Two terms of democrats and Bill's legacy had nothing to do with it.


I am a lifetime Alaskan and an avid shooter.  I agree with Steve Meyer.  I am a hunter.  I own a trick AR.  My fun gun.  I have a reloading bench in my basement. The NRA does not speak for me.


the key word should be HI BOB! LOL


How about some real reporting...where is the work going? Mexico? That's what happened in the US.
More info please.


Just remember, we have the largest military industrial complex in the world which is a socialistic program.  So we are paying for the defense of millions of illegals and legals so whats a little more in health care?


Two problems:

1) There still appears to be some idea that male genitalia are necessary to actually making sacraments holy to God and holy to humans.  God is neither male nor female.  There is no intention on God's part in Jesus being born male to say males are more like Him - it fulfilled a prophecy, but does not mark some sort of preference of God for males.  It was the culture that said males had power and women had none.  What to do when the culture no longer makes such a distinction?  Give it up - it is a human construct, not a God construct.  Believe me, Holy Father.  It is not the priest who waves a magic wand to make a "holy sacrament" - it is the faith of the believer that recognizes God's presence.

2) While "tradition" is important, it is not sacred.  Whatever role women were allowed to play in the early church should not dictate the role women play in the life of the Church today.  The Holy Spirit is showing us all that neither gender nor marital status mark a calling.


During the campaign Trump said the US would not be the world's policeman.

Another promise broken...


ALV,  lets be fair.  Both legislative houses sat on their collective thumbs and allowed it to happen.
