You are assuming these guys are Native. And no, this is NOT a "reflection" of the Inupiat culture. You are wrong on that point.


The coward that calls him or herself Rough Cut needs to be permanently banned from the ADN comment site.  Rough Cut has taken it upon himself/herself to post another bloggers phone number and is encouraging and inciting harassment.  I suggest that the blogger's whose phone number has been posted use that as evidence as stalking by Rough Cut and file a lawsuit against him or her.  Anyone that posts a comment on this site must be free to post a comment without some other ding dong trying to intimidate.  Everyone that disagrees with Rough Cut posting someone else's phone number, or personal contact information, whether it's the right phone number or not, should cut and paste Rough Cut's comment and send it by email to ADN's publisher and editor and demand that Rough Cut be banned from the site.  I did.


What debate.  So far everybody is coming down on the side of the carbon economy in their lifestyle choices.  Nobody really wants the koolside.


dude where do you live with baggies blowing down the streets. why dont ya get off yer duff and pick em up. anyway must be some wind dude the nearest garbage patch is like 1000 miles away. didja know there are two of them nasties floating in the ocean. gnarly dude


Thanks for asking. I've been trying to understand this too, David. If you read those links you'll understand that Delta Dental is in the business of selling fluoride, and to that end they provide free fluoridation metering systems, on condition they use them for at least ten years. In the short term that may actually boost dental outcomes for kids, but the potential harm to the community as a whole exists, as many others here have documented. So why not just provide fluoride varnishes for kids? If we can subsidize Boeing's hazardous waste disposal surely we can protect our kids teeth.

I never said Delta profits from smoking cessation programs, and just because someone does something good doesn't mean everything they do is good. And I never said stopping smoking dumbs people down, so stop putting words in my mouth. That's called "lying."


I'm looking forward to history's view of our attempt to adjust the earth's temperature....i.e the 2 degree target.

Why don't we try to chage wind direction too ?


You do know Democrats control the House


Mandatory sentences bring fairness to the system. Their should be no excuse or special circumstance consideration for commiting a crime. You do the crime you do the time.

Punahou sanctioned camping trips to Kaena Point for all of their students for the supposed purpose of teaching their students conservation.  Punahou cannot be directly blamed for this mass bird torture/killing however if they did not require such a camping trip, these three punks would not have botherd to hang out at Kaena point and the birds would have been alive and left alone.  Punahou unwittingly unleashed 3 brutal bird killers at Kaena Point.  After all of this Punahou should now prohibit ALL of its students from ever visiting or camping at Kaena Point.  Let them set up tents on their own campus for future camping trips.


Oh, BS.  "Supervising up to" 60 inmates?  You mean by putting them on lockdown in their cells all day? And how many of those alleged 60 actually need medical or other monitoring?  For those of you that don't know, putting an inmate on suicide watch in prison is more likely than not to make the inmate want to kill himself. The DOC  isolates the despairing inmate inside an all-glass cage with a concrete floor and no furniture.They take away every bit of clothing and leave him with a sleeping bag that doubles as wearing apparel. The lights are on 24/7.  They may restrict the inmate's ability to move. The inmate isn't allowed contact with anyone who actually cares about him - a family member, for example-for support. The DOC leaves him on display like that, with so-called mental health technicians coming around every so often to stand outside his cage and ask if he feels suicidal.  99.99% of inmates lie about their mental condition so they can escape suicide watch hell.


I can't believe we are all up in arms Pro/Anti, Dog Owner/Shooter based on ADN's continued crappy reporting...do any of us really know what happened that day? Yet on we go, blather (attack) blather blather...


You do not believe that there is some misuse of corporate tax laws that allow some individuals to pay substantially less tax than others who make the same income? If you do then what alternatives to the existing proposals would you make?


Yes, it has similarities to the time Stephen Harper happily prayed at the 'men only' section of the Western Wall in Jerusalem (called the 'million-dollar shot' by one of his male Conservative backbenchers.)

Surprisingly few people commented on that one.


You just described how and why Canada is being over-populated with people who have more than one passport while the people born and raised here do not have those options and are run over by bulldozers of people who feel entitled to every country and to give Canada away just because they landed here.


The rendering is breathtaking to be honest....It very much resembles what was for a long time the tallest building in the world, in Shanghai. The corkscrew design works to mitigate the impact of high winds, which of course can be extreme in Denver. I say go for it!


I don't watch their games either.


Last May, the Canadian Council of Insurance Regulators (CCIR) issued a public consultation document on this very topic, at:
https://www.ccir-ccrra.org/en/init/Elec_Commerce/Issues%20Paper-Electronic%20Proof(ENG).pdf

Some of the concerns identified in the paper include :
- Will law enforcement be allowed to access other information/content on electronic devices used to demonstrate proof of insurance?
- If law enforcement questions the validity of EPAI, are they allowed to confiscate the electronic device?
- Who is responsible if electronic devices used to demonstrate proof of insurance, such as mobile device, are damaged during inspection?
- What is considered “reasonable inspection” for law enforcement handling electronic devices?
- When travelling to a jurisdiction that does not yet allow for the EPAI, what steps must be taken?
- If an electronic device malfunctions, has no network access or is out of power, how will law enforcement handle such issues?
...and more


I have zero confidence in the Denver Police Department mainly because their response rate is abysmal and there are so many dissatisfied citizens that report poor interactions with them. And of course there is the fact they moonlight in uniform (exposing taxpayers to even more lawsuits) so their hours far exceed 40 every week so they are less than 100% and always miserable. HOWEVER, in every instance cited in this article the police involved (DPD and otherwise) seemed to have done the right thing. Don't run from the police, don't steal a car, don't possess a weapon illegally, don't point a weapon at a police officer, don't threaten a police officer and YOU won't have essentially forced them to shoot you.


"I didn’t have any idea that was coming,” she (Vinis) said. Waaah, poor Lucy.

The protests at Poling's house around Christmas 2011 were a disgusting yet appropriate representation of the local leftist mindset. For all of the misery that Piercy, Vinis, and others have brought upon us, we've still left them alone at their private homes.


what bs,, its taxpayer money used for PRIVATE business, thus a scam and not what its for,, let the market decide not alt left lunatics


There's a spray called  Tom's "Stink Free' which you spray on your equipment - kills the stench at it's source.   No perfume, no smell - just kills the bacteria/stench.

You can also shake in a spoonful of baking soda into your gloves every now and then.

Hand deodorizer might be effective - but that doesn't help with the lab experiment that's growing in your hockey bag....


We'll see if future revisions are made, but it is interesting to note that it has been reported that the structures found in the rock are rather similar what is created by bacteria around hydrothermal vents today.


Ben Stein is a free trader as well as an actor, lawyer, economist and generally intellectual guy  and he  gave a lecture on it just before filming to those classroom student actors who you see looking so  bored in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.   They really were bored!


Mining operations pay mining tax AND mining production royalty. Mining tax is 7% of net profit above 100,000. Plus 3% production royalty for mining on state lands.


A great emperor in the Ming dynasty sexually abused members of his harem. I think he was a democrat, so there's NO way I'm voting for Clinton..........


What a sad excuse for a leader.. Instead of being professional and presidential, he`s using valuable time, on the internet, taking senseless, evidence-less pot shots at a popular two term ex-president , while avoiding answering real questions in press meetings about things like his failing policies, and things like releasing his taxes.  He said, what must have been a hundred times to the cameras, that he would show us his taxes "after the audit was done"..remember?  (taxes that would show a connection to a Russian loan from Putin perhaps?...to be paid back "with interest"??)   Every other president asked has shown their tax forms. If he has nothing to hide it should not be a problem. Yet he still refuses to publicize them.  Why.


The school in question wasn't there because it was Catholic. They just used it as a legal back door to keep their local school open.


You will be if they make it into the medal round. You're Canadian and Olympic gold is Olympic gold.


Our planet?  It could care less.  It's "seen" worse.... Even worse than this human experiment it is currently conducting.

I know the green crowd likes to deflect the question of the massive subsidies its renewable resources get without addressing the efficacy and true cost of those resources, but really... can't you own up to their cost and question the cost/effectiveness of large scale wind/solar.

Note that the US cut its carbon dioxide emissions dramatically, not from renewables but from natural gas' displacement of coal.

If you really want to reduce carbon emissions, embrace natural gas shale development, fracture stimulation technologies and nuclear energy.


If I had an incurable disease and 1 side showed me compassion and, gasp! funding to fight my disease, while the other side chastised me and implied I deserved it, guess which side I'm going with?


Alaska is not going to run out of oil smarty pants.  Problem is the bleeding heart liberals and their save the north slope from destruction beliefs.  Oil companies can pull a lot of oil of the ground with a very small footprint by utilizing directional drilling.


We sure do appreciate that you preview these shows.


Why is chatty out there with a bad wheel, story and cargo should be sitting on the bench, cmon black start coaching for petes sake


Thank you President Trump, for your leadership and tenacity!  You are a Patriot and it's about time our country gets steered back in right direction!


From Warsaw to Hamburg to Paris, the First Lady wowed the Europeans with her poise and beauty.

The French especially were beside themselves with her panache and diplomacy  -- she favored St Laurent, Hervé Pierre, and Chanel for the  Paris visit.  From Paris Match to Le Monde, the French press gave her nothing but rave reviews -- e.g. PM "First Lady très  élégante à Paris."

Melania speaks six languages, is an excellent mother, and is a superb representative for both the United States & Slovenia.

Très belle et très bon fait, Melania!


Better than it's been in quite a while.

As long as the laws make it more profitable to use part-time employees than full-time, there will continue to be a shift to PT as employers take advantage of part-timers to maximize profit.

Change the laws.


I LOVE this newspaper!


Of course "the (human) record" is only 150 years old, while the earth has been around 4.5 Billion years.

Chicken Little, the sky is falling!


Another Islamic terror attack in Europe.  Sure glad the Atlantic Ocean seperates the US from these losers.


Yes running from one hysteria to the next, give up !!!


I would not read too much into this action. As much as I abhor war this is simply a message that Syria's actions will not be tolerated. I don't see politics being a factor here but simply someone simply stating this action is not acceptable and there will be repercussions. Talk is cheap at a certain point.


They know that the majority of voters in BC are opposed, that Trudeau lied about revamping the review process, and that consultation with First Nations didn't happen.  BC is expected to sacrifice its economy for Alberta's.  It's a dead horse - just like Enbridge.  The people won't stand for it.


Indians need to learn that one earns respect it is not given for bad behavior. Most cities have a problem with the drinking and hanging out in neighbourhoods that Indians have no business being there.


Oh ok. Nice try


Funny, when I go to pick up my kids at school I see mostly dads.  Same at the hockey rink, baseball field, etc, spending their time coaching and driving their kids around.  And doing home repairs, and mowing the lawn, and taking out the garbage, and walking the dog ....

Most women I know aren't obsessed with how little (or, really how much) work their husband's do at home.  They are generally appreciative and happy with their lives.  Same for the men.  I guess that doesn't sell newspapers.


How many years have we heard that...
 Were they not in the country for the last elections?


Fantastic.....I, as one of many others, have long suggested the EWEB site makes sense.  I'm glad the Council has decided to take a look at it.  good show folks. regards, Gary


Because many of the Red states have large Democrat constituencies within them.


Always have a plan B, especially when dealing with the Americans.


So: Drivel.


CNN is liberal biased which most of us know. CNN was found in a Harvard study to be anti-republican, Accuracy in Media Research Center found CNN omitted important facts to support liberals, CNN skewed polls with an anti-Republican bias by knowingly pulling outdated polling numbers, etc. If you're a democrat and want to hear what you want to hear, CNN is a station to watch/read.


What is wrong with our government? Wanting to further isolate the current residents of this country by bogging and filling up our system with more welfare rolls from immigrants who will never really consider themselves Canadians

Hey Flames, you burn!!  Great job Mayor Nenshi.  Can't wait to see you running our country in a few elections.


No problem shielding Washington state from federal government action by Trump.

One thing all Republicans can get behind are state rights and sovereignty over an overreaching fed.

See how that works.


Assange is a great man. The world is in his debt.


Fair enough but I am not encouraged by what I'm seeing so far. To date, his modus operandi has been: Try something stupid; watch it crash and burn; then try something else. The immigration file is one example of that.


Sad but true. A large number of American citizens regard weath as the only indicator of success. Worse, that the pursuit of it through any means possible is not only acceptable, but the moral and ethical thing to do, regardless of negative human or other consequence.


They aren't forcing people to walk into the bank...the article says you can send it in the mail or even call to donate...pretty simple steps if people are genuine about wanting to donate.


Interesting analysis and article. The most useful thing is that we get to see what a current rate for this product is, something that the major Canadian provider HomEquity Bank seems surprisingly shy about doing.

Now about that 5.22% rate. It does seem weird that a reverse mortgage that is by definition 200 percent collateralized would have a much higher rate than a conventional mortgage with 5% equity. Mind you, the last US housing crash wiped out the reverse mortgage providers there.


Manoa_Fisherman, it is a fair question. Tokuda stopped the GET tax extension and she could have stopped this bill.


And the RCMP guy started to get shirty.


So, what better time than right now to stiff productive Alaskans with taxes?
This crisis is not about "GDP".
This crisis is about feeding and caring for Alaska's government which seems to be Alaska's only growth industry.


Thank you, Anchorage. Signing on would be a smart move. The foolishness coming out of Washington is unprecedented.


I think you would be surprised at how little it takes for politicians to give away vast sums of public money. Recall the adscam investigations.


Jon:  I think Kathleen lives in Homer.  Kenai would definitely qualify as Hell in a hand basket to a Homerite.


Every economist in the country said the Iran deal would kill oil prices. That was a no brainer. I'll give you the fact that Obama's heart was in the right place but the deal was just plain stupid. Giving Iran a 4 week notice before you inspect a possible nuclear site is crazy. Iran has already broken the treaty by continuing to develop nuclear weapons, attacking U.S. war ships and boarding U.S. ships in international waters. They didn't just stop pumping oil the day the embargo started. They stored it. Then to try to get them to slow down on the oil dump Obama gave back the money we froze from their bank accounts. They took it and didn't stop anything. Obama himself said in an interview if he could take anything back during his presidency this would be it. Even he knows it was a mistake. People seem to worship the man as a God. When you say one bad thing about him they fly off the handle. He is a man. He makes mistakes.


Trump doesn't issue city permits. Or any permits I am aware of.


All the Aces owners care about is looking like VIP's sitting in the isle blocking seats . If they cared about winning they wouldn't have brought back nearly the entire losing team from last year .  Many wondered what the heck was going on as week after week the signing of yet another loser from last years team was announced . With all that pathetic news being reported , it's no surprise that from the get go few care about Aces hockey any more .The Aces or UAA could jump start attendance by announcing better parking . Try parking passes allowing for faster entry into the Sully , or perhaps even free parking ( paid for by either group coming from increased ticket sales ) . Adding a second exit on to Gamble would make attending games more inviting.  More promotions with handouts would jump start attendance for both clubs .The half effort of remodeling was ok , but the best way to make watching games fun is a huge crowd . Dropping UAA hockey a year from now will boost the Aces attendance .


When Hillary gets out of jail then you can prop her rotten carcass up and listen to her.


Could be.  I wonder if his motivation will ever be made public.


Fear of a circus?  I hope that they don't invite him, so that he will not be given an additional platform.


Rich hedge fund guys and other fat cats know how to work the system to make $, so why shouldn't I.  My doctor told me I might qualify for social security because I'm disabled I guess.  Turns out being "morbidly obese" means I don't have to work any more.  I get enough money to get by and life is easy.  Go to work if you want, but just like the rich I'm going to keep looking for loopholes.


I wonder why he didn't serve you his special narcissistic nut cake, which he has been well known for since his food truck days. Makes you yearn for a decent bento, doesn't he?


Where can I buy tickets?


The Raiders are terrible.
No better time than the now to kick the Oakland team.
Send them back to the 7-11 parking lot badly beaten.


The best thing since Kennedy's assassination? This presidency was acquired by racism and sexism. The US could not stand the black man in the White House, so now they have this 'human' in the White House. Manufacturing is not going back to the US.


You  completely misread me, EFC.  I said "WE have no right to impose our morality on others." The "we" here is the Roman Catholic Church, where "Church" is understood in the V2 sense of the community of all the faithful (bishops, clergy, laity, theologians). My comment is a contribution to an internal discussion among Catholics about what position OUR OWN MORALITY OBLIGES us, qua Catholics,  to take in the wider forum of political debate about abortion in democratic societies.

You are making an entirely different case. You are arguing that democratic countries have a right to make laws, and in so far as laws prescribe and/or prohibit ACTIONS, and morality is about good versus bad action, then it is obvious governments are involved in the morality game.

The question that concerns me is What ought the law to be on an issue about which citizens of goodwill have fundamentally opposed moral views? Abortion is a perfect example.

(continued)


Just to add a couple more comments. The '4%' ia an eyeball grabbing ploy and very misleading in that it suggests one would have had to be in the 4% of 'total wealth generating' stocks in the U.S. market in order to make a reasonable return.

That is nonsense. The slight of hand that is occurring here is that 'the other 96% of stocks in aggregate only generated a return equal to 1 month T-bills'. Note the 'in aggregate'. The reality is that over 40% of the stocks (and higher percentages than that in many periods) generated returns in excess of 1 month T-bills.

So no, you absolutely do not have to find that 4% of the biggest winners - there's a far larger pool than that from which to reap good returns.

It is a shame that university profs have to resort to National Enquirer type headlines to attract attention.


And that the Trump steak was made in Russia.


Well, Hillary supporters in California - which is having its election today on the biggest amount of delegates far greater than the difference between Sanders and Clinton - just stay home since the election is over. Why bother standing in line in the heat to vote when our darlings in the press have decided who won already. Geesh.... why not just declare HRC president and save us all from months of election ads?


Fire the Special Prosecutor, drain the whole swamp. Stop the Russia wet dream and start prosecuting people like Hillary, Lynch, Holder and other Obama appointed criminals.


It also took the media years to run any story about Bill Clinton’s sexapades.


No. Here are two of your comments:

1. In my opinion it is still worth very little.

The recent sale of ? 10% of its mortgages just demonstrates this...

They got ? 97cents on the dollar.

They have (? how much) outstanding bond debt, and that nasty HOOPP loan...and still have to pay interest on the $12 Billion of GIC's....never mind somehow replacing them as they come due.

Do they have $3-4 Billion stashed away somewhere in cash ??

2. I believe that,as a lender,the majority of that $$ is to meet mandatory regulatory $$ levels.

In other words it is not "available" cash...

If they liquidated the rest of the mortgages somehow....and then gave that $1.6Billion back to HOOPP....I guess they would be OK.........
but worthless.

"Worthless?".....nice call.

Step one, tell the busy-bodies to butt out of the free will decisions of competent, autonomous, adult business owners, employees, and patrons to freely associate, freely contract, and freely enjoy their property by repealing "smoke-free workplace" tobacco laws.

Those laws have long since served their purpose by educating business owners that people will still patronize smoke-free businesses, educating employees about the benefits of choosing to work in smoke-free establishments, and educating patrons that you don't need to smoke to enjoy yourself.

It is past time to return freedom of choice to all of the above. Business owners who want to allow smoking should be allowed to, employees who desire, or don't mind, working in a smoking establishment should be free, as adults, to exercise their own best judgment on doing so, and patrons can use their power of the purse to influence the decisions of business owners by freely choosing to patronize or not patronize smoking businesses.


"site" the law? or do you mean "cite" the law? For all the readers here, this reeks of  suspicion, because of witness accounts and refusal of the pilot to cooperate with FAA/Troopers. I'm thinking there may have been some kind of substance abuse that was a factor in this crash "on-board" the pilot.


And who exactly would that "someone" be at QB? Heck, if we're pulling mythical rabbits out of our rears, maybe we can pull a LG and RT outa there too?


According to the UCLA roster, Torrey van Winden is not listed.  So it all depends on Cal Poly whether she will make the team this year.  As an alumni, at least I hope that Cal Poly can give UH a serious challenge, a run for their money.  If Torrey makes the team, I wouldn't be surprised if Cal Poly could split with Hawaii, each team winning on its own home court.  UH cannot take Cal Poly lightly and neither can Cal Poly take Hawaii lightly.  It might be worth a trip to Honolulu to watch that match in person.  (Right now I am blogging from San Luis Obispo which I am visiting for a month.)  No secret I am rooting for both teams and will be happy to see a split and both teams sharing the conference championship.


I think everyone of good faith acknowledges Obamacare could benefit from changes. But the proposal on the table is simply stupid and inimical to properly functioning democracy wherein the interests of a narrow group are not allowed to dominate the agenda.


If we are discussing facts Mark, Paleontological records indicate  atmospheric CO2 has been over 700% higher than it is today... long before mankind ever came around with no appreciable warming or cooling.. as it's occurred during ice ages and warming trends.


Really. ? Hire someone from New York City to figure it out. Wow ... any idiot could tell you "get rid of the weidros camping on the sidewalks" and the downtown area might have a chance.


Not a bad move. Considering who would be there, I wouldnt be surprised if someone fired a shot at him.


The carbon tax reminds us of a magician in a circus or a show. He shows his tricks and we have our eyes wide open following his moves and yet, it looks all real. But.... it's magic.  And in our opinion, this is exactly what our government is doing, magic. And with magic, lots of cash is flowing in. Great show.


Yeah, find out the Promises made to you of financial and health safety nets were TOTAL LIES.


What's misleading?


When the giant forest fire in Canada a year or so occurred, I don't recall hearing or reading of a single American expressing feelings of superiority over Canadians because they built the town with one road out and houses in the woods.
These comments are a uniquely Canadian thing.
The articles here and virtually every comment was supportive and somber. Then again, these are  the same people who rejected numerous offers of help from America and instead brought in a bunch of South Africans with specialized sticks for forest fire fighting in the particular terrain.
While you get great joy out of people drowning in Houston most Americans think Canada is a friend. That's not due to mental impairment on the part of Americans. All of the credit goes to the insidious nature of the bigotry up there. Houston has a huge Spanish population. So technically it could be racism and not just plain bigotry.


She had failed to renew her amnesty “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” status.   Gave her amnesty, she threw it away.   Despite all that she went to the press.

Result:  one more job opportunity for an American saved.


He's at it again, tax, tax, and more tax.  Tax the wealthy more and who else gets taxed more?  Of course, all of us.  Tax Boeing more and Boeing (and every other big company) will leave, paying no taxes.  No matter how valid Mr. Burbank may be in evaluating costs of public education his solution being to raise taxes has no validity.  Throwing tax dollars at a problem has never resulted in problem solving.  Let's look at what is really raising the costs of public education and address costs rather than always coming to the conclusion that if we raise taxes the problem will go away because that is not the way the system works.


The Hawks have neither the competence nor instructions, nor inclination to investigate financially illicit cash flows..... surely there has to be a connect between the FEC, SARB and our Banks to do this.... and do it quickly as it cannot be difficult.
Start with the Guptas and their companies and then with State payments overseas to the dodgy!


She didn't have a prayer of being  successful at Page after all of the public airing of the dirty linen she requested and received.

She is still in a 3rd year of a probationary assignment.

Her smartest move is to find a new position before her final evaluation at the end of that 3rd year.   She is going to be under a microscope during that entire year.  Any complaints from teachers or students or parent or anyone else about her job performance during that year will be extensively documented.  Her 'clean slate' will be subject to extreme scrutiny.

Her potential  lawsuit is weaker now that she has been reassigned at the same time as a reshuffle of other principals.  She has been removed from what her attorney could call a 'toxic environment'.  The previous termination no longer exists.  If she is then 'reluctantly terminated' at the end of that year, any settlement will be a pittance.


Oh yes, let's not put the Council in "defense mode". Let's just let them continue to ignore the citizens preferences and have the "space" to do whatever they want. Seems like it's been working well so far.


“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens' Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice […] who constantly says: ‘I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action.’” -- Martin Luther King Jr, from the Birmingham jail, 1963


You got that right Moe.
But remember, cows are ugly........


Did Fidel Castro really enjoy "the good life"  ?  I haven't come across much evidence of that in my reading. He certainly didn't make too many trips to Paris to buy designer clothes.


Yep. Exxon will secretly get their waiver on a late Friday night and "our" Secretary of State will see his net worth skyrocket even higher.

Drain the Swamp LOL


Allie, this is prime example of the liberal news reporting any type of dirt that can be drummed up against the GOP. Unfortunately, we are inundated with 1 sided stories directed against the conservatives while the other side of the story is never told.
Think about it-in Hawaii we have a complete democratic/liberal based philosophy which is only supported by news coming from the dems/liberals and given information defaming any type of news or allegations against the GOP. All the while the news is skewed and fabricated against those conservative views-But, you can't see it cause we are all so immersed in our liberal views.


Well the Rockies are 6-6 against the Dbacks this year, and 116 games into the season the two teams have exactly the same record. So I'm going to go way out on a limb and say that the Dbacks have probably lost some games to mediocre teams too.

Funny, for all the bitching about how the Rockies never put a team on the field that's still in contention late in the season, some people manage to be every bit as miserable as they were then the team was completely out of it by August. Should have just kept Walt Weiss in charge and cobbled together a pitching staff of Jamie Moyers and Kyle Kendricks - would have kept fans in their comfort zone.


"Politcal groups and terrorist groups are not protected. It does not matter that they are offensive or not, not one has to make politcal or terrorist cakes. It is ridiculous to think they do."

It is ridiculous to think they do. That's why I never said they were. I am talking about an individual as I pointed out quite clearly in my previous post. An individual sympathizer. Not a group. If you want a picture of John Lennon on a specialty cake that does not make you a Beatle. It makes you a Beatles fan. And the argument can be made that gay marriage is offensive to a whole lot of people because it fails to pass in one of the most liberal states in the union again and again. Before the Supreme Court decision gay marriage was legal in like 3 or 4 of the 50 states.
The Little Guy


Sounds good, but that's been tried for decades. Even with fentanyl and the risk of death, people still use. People will never, ever stop using drugs. It's never going to happen. Humans have always done it and always will.
And law enforcement doesn't work. As long as there's demand, there will be supply; arrest one dealer and another takes his place later that day.
And there will always, always be demand.
Drug prohibition makes no more sense and is no more successful than alcohol prohibition.


Vlad Putin ..... The Man in the High Castle ...... and coming sooner than you would think.


Yes, it is possible to make a case for the Confederacy winning the Civil War, but to endure into this century?  It is not farfetched to say that may be preposterous.  By your logic, the possibility of a German victory could have turned on a few battles which went the opposite way.  You're much too quick to pin labels on those you disagree with.  I can tell you quite a number of us remember Dunkirk, and other battles of WWII and the Korean conflict, through relatives who were present and lived through them.  Movies made about war history help keep more of the population interested and researching, not a bad thing.


No more gun control is needed.  All that is needed is that responsible agencies, in this case the Air Force, do what they are supposed to do.


I'm certainly no fan of Mr. Levant or The Rebel, but this is an unacceptable shot at free speech that only adds to polarization of opinions. Unfortunately ( or fortunately) people on both sides of any argument show their ignorance by shouting the new war cry of our time-"Fake News!


If he appears on CNN or Fox sure. If he has his own celebrity entertainment show (say hunting related) and goes off into a lecture like Kimmel..then NO!


It is for Trump and his followers.
I'm surprised Trump and Pruitt fined the company at all.


Thank you.

Sometimes I feel I should be flattered...but mostly I find nic's obsession kind of creepy.


Al Gore and Hilary Clinton received the majority of votes from the American citizens who voted.


Heaven knows I am no supporter of Trump, but.....does anyone else find it ironic that Michael Moore's cause celebre -- keeping auto manufacturing jobs in the US -- is only now gaining traction from a Republican?


Trump sold "swampland" to nearly half of all Americans, and will now walk away from it with pockets full of cash like the true real estate scam artist he is.

Next up, a sale on bridges.


Probably because the only description given is that they were "Black Males"....


Peace is good...but the indoctrination of young, impressionable children is Not.

Thinking back, a leftist, liberal indoctrination has always been a staple of our School system and it's teachers . I recall many moons ago, being 'exposed' to "Silent Spring"; "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee", etc.

Students Should Be exposed to uncomfortable truths, but more neutral and/or conservative principles should also be included.


"The Church" is the PEOPLE OF GOD, 99% lay people, the majority of whom rejected papal teaching forbidding "artificial" birth control and practice it as a "natural" method of family planning.  Bishops are free to offer their humble opinions on sexual matters, while respecting the movement of the Spirit among the laity whose experience grounds their moral decisions in family matters. Bishops are not free to demand exemptions to civil laws serving the common good based on their personal moral views, which are based not on their experience but on past papal decrees - and which somehow always seem to be punishing women.


The Reagan era destruction of the anti-trust protections has left our nation controlled by corporate interest.


Smoking is not a right, just a choice. Secondhand smoke becomes everyone's problem, not just the person who is smoking. Taking it outside would be respecting the indoor environment as well as the people inside it.


Say it ins't so!  The left wing are masters at hijacking groups of "well intentioned" concerned people to advance their agenda.  The environmental causes are especially effective as it's easy to scare people into believing the rubbish they are peddling. The rely on naive people to make signs, take to the streets and shout infantile slogans.  The left wing media then gives these groups favorable treatment and they are off and running.  The term for these well intentioned people in the Soviet Union was "useful Id!ot$", no offense intended.  Virtually every single one of these endless marches are organized by anti-capitalists  and are targeted at the president.  On another note, did the "organizer" who approached you look like Barry Hussein?


"Canada is apprehending Indigenous kids is among the highest in the world"

Higher than say.....Italy?

What a stupid comment. How many nations have indigenous populations?

The reality is many of the people who are having their kids taken away are incapable of raising the kids in a responsible and safe manner. The continued handouts given by the Federal govt create an environment of dependency but the Feds expect the Provinces to pick up the pieces.


Im not sure why your preaching about this in this article? The meat they are talking about is locally farm grown meat that probably has a better life and is better tasting than anything you get at the grocery store. If the ethics of meat eating is what bothers you it seems like you would be for this?


ever since they made you stop snowzilla ive felt that way. MOA = Communists.


Well, not all is sponsored by government.  There's still a fair share covered by insurance costs and all of those lovely deductibles.  And, you can bet your tail that when the uninsured get their care, some of that cost the hospitals will try to off-load to the insurance companies, and those buying insurance will be paying for it.

We have a lousy, half-baked system.  And, what the Dems did with ACA and what the Repubs want to do is the same pile of garbage that's gonna stiff the middle class.


No disrespect to Mr. Candee, but I don't think you need an "expert" to know that a lot of people distrust government. Read the newspaper's letters and comments and you can figure that one out for yourself. But considering we are the ones that elect the officials that run our government, does that mean we don;t trust our own judgement? Something isn't working here.


And hiring the best computer experts in the country to fix the problem.
One more failure of a fat cat to meet his responsibility to serve the public by finishing his work on time and on budget.


there is no excuse for supporting wickedness. no, no one can force participation, but i will not be respectful of evil, either. and yes, i will have it both ways. there is light and there is dark, there is good and there is evil. you have to choose a side.


Uh-oh you have TRIGGERED the lefties with your "hate speech"!  Watch out!


Legislation will be introduce this year to establish video testimony/conferencing for the neighbor islands.


The limo torched in DC Trump protests, belongs to Muslim immigrant, & may cost $70,000 in damages.

The immigrant, who has a Nationwide Chauffeur Service, who was not a Trump supporter, said the anti-Trump march was counter productive.

Somehow the news media missed that bit of irony.


Only one Alaskan company was selected. Four are out of state firms.  This is more federal overreach and unjust rules that again treat us like a colony.  I swear if we had a larger and more permanent population the federal government would see Alaska breaking away just like the colonists did with Britain.


My hope is that we never, ever have to feel compelled to use nuclear weapons again.


I'm not kidding.   I was bracing myself,....and then saw the bill for GBP 8 for a 1000 sq ft flat about 40 minutes walk from the Bank of England building on Threadneedle Street.


If you want to see collusion in the USA, look at the Obama admin's relationships to so called 'Green Energy' companies and their donations.


LOL. I hear that the way to change leaders in your system is the ballot box. So, there is hope, no?


Huh, they let crack run rampant for years but are now pretty serious about opioids, and quick. Opioids must be taking a toll on the wrong types of people.


Make Alaska Great Again.    Where have I heard that before?


Really, RD?  On the article on the Catholic Theological Society of America, you attacked the article because it had a picture of a group of women.  Now you are attacking this article about men.  Would you prefer an article on transgendered Catholics?


Deeply divisive comments like what?  I ask because I haven't heard any that fit that mold.  If there were some, I would like to see what they were if you would care to reference them.


It is a bad move for sports teams and individual players to be so political. They should just play their sports. I have no problem not watching any sport or sports teams that make such ugly displays of unamericanism.


Yes little Johnny and Susie, I remember back when my vote actually meant something.......


Oblate spheroid.


We have met the enemy and it is us, after months of blaming Russia for some minor hack job on the DNC it was an NSA malware created under Obama bringing down the world, how ironic.


Yup, African tribal man, Barack Obama, make best president of America for 8 good years.


Now this is real new, folks.  aloha and thanks xbt.  I'm enjoying  your civil comment much wore than when you act like you're bouncing off the walls.  mahalo xbt


Matayoshi is a lawyer not a teacher and she got the job because her dad was Herb Matayoshi who was mayor of Hilo forever. His machine remained strong until recently with the old Democratic party cronies losing control of the elections. Now get rid of her sycophant Deputy Directors including Senator Schatz's twin brother who carried matayoshi's purse all these years.

Is political correctness acting like the primary cordinator of the planet Camazotz described in a Wrinkle in Time trying to achieve happiness by getting everyone to think the same way, March to the beat of the same drum? The protagonists in this novel used their. faults and imperfections as well as their love for each other to defeat the prime coordinator. We are all imperfect individuals but that doesn't mean we can't show love to one another and work together in a way that benefits all. We can and should find a way to respect each other's opinions and points of view while working towards a common good. That is how responsible adults beheave.


The seminary has every RIGHT to disinvite Fr. Martin.

And it is very, very WRONG to do so.

Of what are you afraid?

Of whom are you afraid?

This sounds like an anti-intellectual  "new McCarthyism" that demeans individuals, rewards threats, and fears learning.

When you cave to those who have Jesuit enemies lists and who claim to singularly know "the authentic faith," you proclaim your standards for teaching, for debating, for educating, and for discovery.

I applaud the counsel of CUA President Garvey, and I agree totally with his conclusion that the anti-Martin campaign is exactly the same as campaigns from the left to silence speech.


According to the Anti-Trump Faction aka 'Alt-Left' aka Antifa, yes.  So is verbal & physical assault according to their Tribal Doctrine.


Perhaps the energy companies should tout pipelines as being inclusive and helping women (doesn't matter what kind of woman or does it)?

As for the NDP, reality has a habit of dashing even the best ideologues plans...look at poor Notley for an example.  Goes from being against oil and pipelines to now complaining about all she's done to earn "social license" which none of her allies care a bit about.  That's the funny thing about "social license"...there is just no appeasing those that can only say "no".


Right you are.The ACLU heroes of my childhood who proudly fought for Civil Rights and against social injustice seem unrecognizable and bent of late .


It's not a crime, much less a hate crime. That I needed to tell you that, says everything we ever needed to know about you and those of your ilk.


His name is not Muller, it is Müller. Calling Cardinal Müller Cardinal Muller is like calling Cardinal Maloney Cardinal Baloney.

And Cardinal Schönborn's name is not Schonborn either.


Just a point of clarity by definition.  Often the word 'factoid' is used incorrectly.  A factoid is not factually correct, rather it is something incorrectly presented as fact, and it is not.


That fake neurobiology trauma expert Dr. Haskell they used for these reports, my God, can it get any more pseudoscientific and hocus-pocus than this? Cortisol is not released by amygdala or by hippocampus. Brain does not change within seconds. The example she gives of someone pointing a gun and you not remembering details is utter non-sense. She classifies important details as "peripheral" details.  Before someone points a gun at you, you should be able to remember lot of details and when someone points a gun at you, you should still remember vividly lot of details about the gun according to Trauma Superiority Theory. More importantly, there is no "freeze" response by the brain, it is either fight or flight response. People only "freeze" when someone holds gun because they suspect any movement will lead to triggered bullet and ultimately instant confirmed death. They still look for an opportunity to fight/flight with the gun holder.


Really?  Do you classify every flirtatious or crass comment as sexually predatory?  Wow.


A list of things said no teen ever!!!! I can’t wait to be abstinent, I wish my parents where more involved with teaching me about sex, I don’t want to know anything about sex, No don’t show me a picture of the opposite sex naked. Well this is pretty much true for all mammals. I hate to break it to people but humans have three main instincts food, survival, reproduction. In fact the sexual instinct is so strong in Humans their are 7.4 Billion of Us, and I know no one wants their kid to grow up but pretending you where a result of immaculate conception, or that you never had sex outside of marriage is well just silly. 3% of americans successfully wait I’m sure your kids one of the 3 in a hundred, or pretend you are one of the 3 out of a hundred. http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/health/2006-12-19-premarital-sex_x.htm


Or at least pro-rate it.

We could also make capital gains payable on all housing sales, but you get to claim it as a tax credit when you file your income tax.

If you are a senior then you can claim the tax against tax paid in the past, and if your income is relatively low and you are working, then you can carry it forward.

That should take care of those who live here but do not file and pay tax on overseas income.


DeVos' track record:

"Racial animus was a primary catalyst of the move toward private and religious K-12 education almost 50 years ago, and racial segregation remains a dominant factor in all schooling, public and private, today. DeVos' track record suggests that as secretary, she will do little to combat these trends".


No, I'm good with Congresspeople doing as they promised, as that promise got them elected.  You are good with you overruling the majority.  Aren't you special!


I don't think the Church is insulated from leaks.


Yep, voted no on everything except prop 7.  They can kiss it!


we shall see what we shall see!  our own board has finally risen to its highest level of its aggregate INABILITY - which every body has, which many cannot transcend.  the alphabet soup pedigree of a person does nothing to impress me.  look at the recent past choices who have come in from the most egregious mainland to only further mis-manage greatly needed but fundamentally flawed programs and/or projects.  our children are our children.  they are unique progeny of a unique and singular history.  before anyone can make the necessary changes to achieve the goals our children need to succeed as productive and caring citizens in the largest singular school district in the nation, that person MUST KNOW WHO WE ARE, WHERE WE CAME FROM, AND THE REASONS IT CAME TO BE the way it is today.  as i see it, our ill-illustrious BOE has lost sight of that simple fact.  i have always advocated that CHANGES MUST BE MADE FROM THE INSIDE BY KNOWING PERSONS - NOT BY TRANSIENT CARPETBAGGERS!  we'll see!


Insist that the Canadian gov't end foreign ownership - now !!!!!  Canadians come first as we pay the taxes .


Yes, you can question how deep that thinking went; don't forget the thinking that went into nominating and voting for Secretary Clinton just so she could be the first female president.


It’s incredible the level and amount of antipathy for cycling and cyclists in this neck of the woods. Cyclists are the true unsung heroes of our communities. Cycling is the answer to mitigating air pollution, traffic congestion and our reliance on fossil fuels as well as making cities more liveable. The attitude of the Dutch and Danish towards cycling as being an integral component to the urban transport system is to be admired. It would be kind of nice if that mentality could, at some point, weave its way into the Canadian consciousness as well? However that’s probably wishful thinking.


Try for a week, and say, start on a Wednesday, to have only photos of women and see if anyone  notices.
Then only non-Caucasian photos for a week.
Almost like some old editors who asked if any reader is awake, ran the same text of a foreign affairs story two days running.


How do we vote for which one we prefer?


Trudeau stands firm on being soft.


And your problem? I don't think you even read the piece.


Why wouldn't he ,that's what hypocrites do, just ask old what's is name Roy.


How much is the bootlegger lobby paying you?


All of them?  Please name them.


The justice system can be and has been manipulated by powers behind the scenes with the money to drive their own interests. Witness the DA in New Hampshire that has been sent to jail for just these offences but only after tremendous damage has been done to people's lives. Go to www.bigtrial.com for more info. I suppose we can take some comfort from the fact that one (the tip of the iceberg possibly) has had his  comeuppance. A  popular legal ambit these days is to play the legal system like a poker player, especially by driving up the costs to such an extent that the innocent cannot continue to defend themselves, and so the corruption of big money wins. Even if the innocent win, the money driven media will go in for the kill. The naive still implicitly believe in the legal system and particularly the falsely accused - to their cost.


sister asks not to be identified, denver post lists the identity of the victim. maybe you guys don't understand why she didn't want to be identified...


Kathy .....do me a favor ....make a huge fist with your hand please ....then please punch yourself in the face for being an idiot


Dear Cardinal Mueller,  What happens if the local bishop is responsible for covering up the abuse and refuses to acknowledge a letter from sexual abuse victims because the diocesan attorney instructed him not to respond?


It was such a special occasion the Trumpkins dusted off Kellyanne Conway and Jason Miller.
And there they were every 30 minutes or so spreading their 'insights' like a fungus you can't get rid of.
Donald Trump is the face of Republican hypocrisy and  idiocy. He is a sputtering, narcissistic megalomaniac and a very real threat to US democracy.


ah geez, you had to go and say it didn't you? :) In any case, seems there is plenty of corruption to go around. Naturally Mr. T just keeps dredging up the ole Clinton email thing to try to divert attention elsewhere.


You're a troll.


Jackson was a terrible president.  He mistreated both Native Americans and African Americans and was extremely corrupt.  "Indians" aka Native Americans have been honored on currency in the past.  African Americans never have been on currency despite having fought and died for this country like everyone else, and Harriet Tubman's story is inspirational on many levels.   She risked her life for the greater good of this country and was a war hero.   She deserves this honor.


The Supreme Court, in their ACA decision, ruled that the federal government could not force the state to expand Medicaid.  So far 32 have anyway.

As for the immigration case before the court, don't count your chickens before they hatch. It might not be finally settled until after Hillary appoints the next SCOTUS justice.


Have a safe and enjoyable trip everyone! Don't forget raingear and binoculars!


I see where you're coming from, though calling yourself a "refugee" feels a little tone deaf in light of the current and genuinely tragic refugee crisis playing out across the pond from us. At any rate, Oregon has its roots in bigotry and isolationism, and portlanders have historically been an apolitical lot if voter turnout is any indication, so I suppose if you came for the culture and you back up that earnestness by registering to vote, actually voting, and finding ways to be truly civically engaged, you don't deserve to be treated so poorly. But let's be honest: People who don't have the benefit of a wealthy family to bankroll rent are being forced further and further out as a direct result of new arrivals pushing up cost of living. Which they are bound to have strong feelings about. You clearly love being here; how would you feel if you were priced out and forced to relocate to make room for someone richer? Probably pretty bummed. A bit more compassion on both sides is in order.


That is some good news finally! I hope so.


otherwise known as SLUMS & GHETTO'S


Nothing but the truth: Thank you for your interest. BEST is Better Eugene-Springfield TRANSPORTATION. We are working for better transportation options, safer streets, and walkable neighborhoods. When the voters’ pamphlet arrives in your mailbox later this week, you will see we have joined with the League of Women Voters of Lane County to publish an argument in support of Ballot Measure 20-275, as a means to these community goals. We appreciate the opportunity to share in these comments some of the good reasons to do so.


The issue in this case is that the party didn't enforce its rules, so Gates was allowed to stand for office as a Democrat.  Also, he hasn't been elected yet.  He is opposed in the general election by Republican Mark Pa`aluhi.


YES.

This is PRECISELY why I (with oozing sarcasm) suggested this department do it!

Isn't it what the part time, ethically handicapped mayor would love as well as his buddies in the state house?????????


My comment is hardly misleading.  The community based, 16 bed residential facilities had a net cost (after federal reimbursement) of about 35K/patient.  The DHS admitted that the institutional cost is $280K/bed.  That's a eight to one cost savings.  Furthermore, the latest survey of the population at the Salem, Portland and Eastern Oregon facilities showed that 40% of the forensic patients had not committed Measure 11 offenses. i.e. were not so dangerous that they could not be considered for those less secure settings.  A reference to 60 bed facilities is a reference to an institutional setting....an entirely different thing than 16 bed community sites.


Definitely sarcasm.

When was the last time you saw "potheads" roaming the downtown causing problems with local businesses, tourists, and patrons? Never

When was the last time someone got stoned and went home and beat their wife? Cite me an example please, and I'll cite 100 examples of a drunk doing the same.

When was the last time someone smoked too many marijuanas, overdosed, and died? Never

Folks with critical thinking skills can see that marijuana, used moderately and responsibly, pose close to zero risk. And like alcohol, when you make it legal and regulated, it makes it harder to get believe it or not.


This has been happening for at least 20 months.  The crime wave and killing people for no good reason started in the winter of 2015.


Walking on a Cornice is just dangerous.If you want to play mountain men for the weekend you better learn how to survive in the mountains. Please don't go if you have no experience or training or you may die and loved ones will be hurt.I worked Serach and Rescue many moons ago in Mple Ridge and had to recover bodies and that is no fun.


" .... saying Moscow should decide whether it wants to remain aligned with a “murderous regime” that kills its own people."

But Russia is a  “murderous regime” that kills its own people.


Good literature is good literature, whether Shakespeare or Mistry.  Anyone can have preferences.  I'm pretty sure that Mistry has read Shakespeare.  We all could benefit from both.


So how is the weather in Caracas today?


34 years locked in. Who knows whats going happen in the interim. This is a really bad deal. I cannot believe this isnt getting more negative press. Just look at E 470. A for profit ripoff fleecing Americans on the most expensive bypass in the U S. They saved us costs didnt they? Lets build a living room with stores at DIA because everyone is going to stand around and mingle after clearing security. Lets smash all security upstairs where even today lines go out the door for check in. Cant wait for holiday travel.


>> $4 small soft drink

I can't wait!  😱


Yes, if the priest does not counsel the person who is involved with any sinful behavior.  That is his job, not to disregard the elephant in the room.  No different than a parent raising his child who is committing improper behavior.  Should the parent just dialog with his young son who was just involved with stealing, without attempting to addresss and change the behavior?


I find his in depth knowledge of IED manufacture & placement optimization to be a bit concerning. Just look at that smile!


Thank you for the link, that's a fascinating read.


I was a fan of their $9/mo subscription offer.


oh please.......you've never heard of the Tillamook burn.....but then for too many people ancient history started in the year of your birth.    If ONLY we could get China to stop all their global warming pollution we would not have all these terrifyingly fast forest fires we have all of a sudden now in Oregon.

you kids would have been a hoot back during the field burning days


If one followed SA's strained Birth Control logic, couldn't one conclude; sexually transmitted diseases will likely decrease?


What I find really unbelievable is that everyone else is expected to interpret his tweets but not him.


"..I didn’t lie awake during the Cold War—both sides were too sensible. But when you are dealing with the Iranians, I don’t know."

Certainly very worrisome and needs to be closely and tightly monitored. But now that they are close allies of Russia, this will be much harder. Obama was fooled, Iranians cleaned his clock. World far more unstable and dangerous thanks to Obama.


that is sure a lot of welfare mouths to feed - can we send them all to the private aga khan island.  I mean we sent over $50 million so it is all in the family so to speak - and the same religion and all.


Obama administration rushed to preserve fantasy of Russian election hacking. It was part of the desperate fake news campaign to derail Trump's campaign for the Presidency. No proof of Russian meddling in the election has ever been presented. It never will be because it doesn't exist.


We are responsible for our own country's behavior, not Nigeria or Saudi Arabia.  Your comment is a red herring.


Noted.


Yesterday Premier Philippe Couillard came out against a plan to build a new suburb near Montreal for Muslims only, saying it runs counter to Quebec’s values.

Is there anything wrong with developers providing devotees of the one true god with affordable rent-to-own housing which pays lip-service to the Koran's prohibition against paying interest and which limits their contact with those who would corrupt them, Christians in particular, as demanded by Allah?

http://boreal.ca/Koran/Friends.htm

I am sure any English-Canadian politician, with the exception of Ms. Leitch, will tell you that this all in keeping with Canadian values, nothing to worry about.


I'm an "old person," too and I think you entirely missed Ransom's point. By making it about her age, there is a subtle insinuation that most people this age could't do what she just did. That's nonsense. Ever heard of Norman Vaughan? Most people, in general, couldn't do what she just did. Why single out her age.


They weren't wrongfully jailed. They murdered somebody and skated out on their punishment

You should work on calibrating your feelings to reality.


"“Now who do I blame?” he asked, pointing to the audience. “The people. A bunch of idiots following Pied Piper over the edge of the cliff. That's who I blame. They ought to know better than that."

Odd, I feel exactly the same way about you in your office.


CNN really embarrassed itself tonight and showed tremendous bias.
CNN  finally started covering this terrorist attack! After every other network did!
 They had to be pulled away from their 24/7 bashing Trump kicking & screaming.


He doesn't even have the guts to use the word "tax increase".  They're "revenue enhancements".  More weasel-wording.


I might believe Drumpf if he repeats his claim while under oath.  But probably not even then.  I'm just going to add this to his long list of Twitter Tales, aka "lies".


Ethical legislative leadership (or leadership who wasn't completely tone deaf) would strongly discourage this committee assignment just because of the "optics" let alone the very real potential for undue or even unintentional  influence.  One of my  favorite bits of hypocrisy from the legislature is the conflict of interest ceremony they perform when, before a vote,  one of them dutifully declares a conflict of interest and then are "required" to vote.  You can't make this stuff up........


Try 10 stories...
Meanwhile you think US Gold investors follow "Catou1403 of the Toronto G&M".....?

Apparently you've never visited places like this. That's a shame.


Junior is so naive and preoccupied with photo ops, selfies, waiving at crowds that he agrees to things without realizing what it is he's agreeing to.


And another childish riposte, so sad!


I am not happy with everything Trump has done so far ...but I'm very happy with most of it ...you guys exist in an echo chamber of outrage that you think that everyone agrees and is equally outraged...we aren't. You gave us 8 years of an empty suit who couldn't tell the truth to save his life and then were complicit in kinking your own primary to try to stuff Hillary Clinton up us all ... with your track record of picking losers over and over again where do you get off questioning anything? In the minds of most of the american people your opinions are meaningless


Steven Lyons - So I take it you're absolutely fine with all the big cities deciding every presidential election?

You see, the Founders understood that geographical diversity was important. People in cities have different values than people in exurban areas. So, they created the Electoral College to provide some regional balance. And, that is still how that works. If you look at the county map for the 2016 election, you see that it was a triumph for suburban and rural areas. Clinton carried only the cities. Heck, only 18 states have a Democratic-controlled legislature and governor.

Get rid of the EC and those areas no longer have any say in the presidential election. We become Panem, with the capital(s) dictating our society and the rural areas subjugated to our "betters". Forget that the rurals provide everything that cities require to survive. We aren't smart enough to make the more important choices of society.

Alaskans, of all people, should resist any move to get rid of the EC.


Agree with everything except the effective ownership of the Post.
Two of the worst current mayors: Hancock and de Blasio.


NOT EVERYONE IS IN TROUBLE IN AFRICA

Someone asked on Spectrum, "Why isn't GC talking about taking over unions in Africa that make allowance for polygamy on a selective basis?"

Well, I was just told that  if those tribal chiefs pay 10% of tithe for each wife, there will be "no grave consequences."

The problem remains, though, for those who have 11 or more wives, since they will always be in violation for not paying their dues.

I heard that at the end of the AC next week, the "GC Purifiers," represented by TW , will propose to demote the violators from the status TRIBE to status MISSION.

The AC agenda will be modified by a vote on Monday, allowing for the meetings to be extended for one extra day, to give participants enough time to discuss if the "grace period" should be one year, or if they should get "double grace," i.e., two years to get rid of the extra (above 10) wives.... (which may require a special offering...)

I wish the best luck to the Chiefs.....


Why would you pay more for an inferior product whether it is the second or fifth car that you own.  You have to be an enthusiast of the Al Gore deep ecology religion.  There is no other reason.


Well there's actually the same number "0"s to the right of the decimal point, based on a 500/8.7million ratio.

0.00005

recall that scientists use..p <=0.05 as the criterion!

I want my State of Alaska drivers license to be in compliance with Real ID- c'mon legislators.


No it doesnt, because there is much more to come.

Wait until later this week when an undercover video taken inside CNN will break showing producers discussing which fake news stories they should use to harm Trump.

It's going to be pretty hard to keep up the denials then.


The 2011 Canadian voter turnout almost matches the Kenyan turnout this week. Yet you would not have said that the PM lacked a mandate & called for a 3rd election.Why is Kenya different?(1)As a hack for Odinga, your only road to victory is exhausting the electoral process then negotiating a power sharing deal (as Odinga had in 2008).
(2)You say the West shouldn't wag fingers, but you call on Canada do that &more- envisioning a saviour that will ride in and save the good folk from big bad African presidents. How do you,or Canada,know what Kenyans want? A few chats with uber drivers & bartenders doesn't make u an expert. Kenya does not need a foreign saviour!
Western interference in African elections has never resulted in positive outcome for the working class. So we'll go thru the messy process of democracy ourselves, and chart our own future.
I'm no fan of Odinga or Uhuru- Both rep repressive political dynasties and play tribal politics. They shouldnt now bankrupt Kenya with elections


That's a tough question. They're locked in a race to the bottom.


Time to remove all exemptions for religions for denial of human rights.  Religions created by humans to rule over other humans have sat in positions of power within government for too long.  All citizens, institutions, and organizations within this nation must follow the Constitutional protections contained within the Bill of Rights.  Denial of human rights must be prosecuted as criminal.  The past and current criminal activities within religion violating every aspect of human rights and decency removed any claims of spiritual eminence representing an invisible power unproven to even exist.  Let freedom truly ring throughout the land.


It's text book SOP for the fish wrap Denver Post.


Cutting keiki health care benefits is foolish indeed.


Jane did you get paid double to write this little ditty?  Are you going to pay the indigenous communities the money that would be taken away should the pipelines and oil stop flowing?  You do realize that there are many reserves that make money from the oil industry or did Greenpeace and the indigenous people that played host to you forget to tell you that fact?


Trump admin is guilty as heck.


Let's not put undue weight on Trump's tweets. The proof of any friendship is what happens when there is something on the line.


I was replying to GayFordhamPrepGrad who accused Festing of lying to Boeselager.
I replied suggesting that it might have been Boeselager who was lying.
You intervened saying that I "was out on a limb there."
I asked why, because there is no corroboration of Boeselager's accusation.
Then you suggested that I ought to substantiate my 'accusation/suggestion'.
It was neither an accusation nor a suggestion it was just to serve as an illustration that it was as much a possibility that Boeselager was lying as it was that Festing was lying.
Most posters here consider on the www both Festing and Burke to have lied without any evidence that they have yet you don't take them to task, tell them it is unseemly and unchristian. Why should I be surprised at that?


Agreed, but she actually was chosen.


More misuse of the term 'trolls.' Trolls are people who make insincere comments with the goal of provoking a reaction. They've been around since the dawn of the internet. And the online-savvy have known how to deal with them since the dawn of the internet - ignore them. No reaction = no fun for the troll.


How can you have a Mayor's Debate that will only be for 30 minutes?  A 30 minute debate does not give much time for the voters to learn about each candidate and their views on the various positions.  Do we know why this debate is only 30 minutes and what kind of format it will be?


My parents survived the camps. most of their family members did not.

To compare 6,000 loonies that have  no support or weapons with the Nazi war machine of 1939 is ridiculous.

Funny, President Trump is standing up to a real threat to Americans in Kim Jong-un. In that case, his words seem to offend you as well. Who is the bigger threat to law abiding Americans? Why do you not condemn Antifa or BLM?


They have taken our constitution and skewed it's meaning to allow them to do this. The evil little racist bigot Jeff Sessions is not fit to work for the government let alone AG. He want's to increase the use of private prisons. He's a Nazi. His comments about pot and the KKK says it all. Somebody sue him out of existence!


Molly would gladly have put her rump in front of President Bush in front of millions of viewers. I'd bet the dress is still in the closet waiting for DNA sampling.


Your points are well taken.  But you must be young yet.  Ever try understanding how to sign up for Medicare? Hope you have a Harvard degree😀


Yes, that was the decade. The decade when Canada kept its head above water when most of the world, including the USA resorted to trillions in money printing to stay alive.   That was the decade when:
- in 2015 the OECD ranked Canada #1 with lowest debt/GDP
- in 2014 the OECD ranked Canada #1 with best job growth
- in 2014 Canada had the best real GDP growth from 2009, within the G7
- in 2015 Canada ranked in the top five for 'happiness' by the UN SDSN

As we head into this dark period we will crave those days.


"hired as an executive adviser helping to prepare clients for the future"
Translation: Facilitate introductions to high level govt officials with money to spend.


"...everyone on the East Coast wins..."

There is probably a better way to phrase that.


Good job state..


A fantastic young man whose life will inspire others !


So, they want yo develop a club of indoctrination for older teens?


I don't you actually read this article or the one on the advisory council recommendations.  Or if you did, you clearly didn't think them through.

Because your comment missing the key points completely


One of the nations seems to forget they were conquered.


Why does Ms. Wente always see the glass half-empty?  Not satisfied with complaining about political correctness, or what she sees as dangerous progressive ideas, now she has expanded to attack nature and the wilderness.

The "excessive romanticization of nature" is a product of glossy brochures marketed to urbanized populations who lost touch with it.  But the effectiveness point to our innate yearnings, and the true nature of our selves: we are animals, we are products of nature despite whatever warped ideas we may produce at times, so we always end up being drawn to it.

But it seems that some only want the visuals of beautiful sunsets under expansive skies, the soothing quiet of majestic forests but are otherwise not prepared to accept the inconvenience of uneven ground, cold and rain, nor risk.

Those only want to take benefits for themselves, don't accept things for what they truly are, both good and bad.  No perspective, no tolerance, no sense of responsibility.  They just troll.


The truth, it burns! Doesn't it Dick?


I still refer to Montreal as Ville Marie.   It just seems right.


Pence is playing the waiting game to take Trumps place.  I thought that would be a good idea, but now realize he isn't any better than Trump.  In fact he is worse for supporting whatever Trump does.  As our President (and yes, despite what Shatz says, he is our President) would so "eloquently" say, "Terrible!" LOL


They've already bulldozed over sites which may have contained iwi and even some historical sites and burials. "Nothing to see here - move along!" Tourist trap - shibai...  YMMV


Only two honest men on that stage. Romer,(Patronage job at LA schools,paying large money and fat pension) Hick (Hirer ofillegal alien that killed a cop) Ritter (fat no show job at CSU and big PERA payoff)


You can't win a war by committee rule.


I hope these lawmakers made it written that if the city falls short again, they can't come begging for more money. Price doubled in less then 3 years and the city gets bailed out twice. The only losers are the taxpayers who gotta fork over more of their hard earned money. I really hope you all remember this when it comes time to vote again.
Let's not forget when Ige promises that "He will not raise taxes" when first elected.  You remember that Gov. Ige? Veto this bill!


The writer of the acticle regarding purchasing the senior pass on line meant well, but the link provided was inaccurate. Here is the link that works.

And that is why you don't get it, Richard Rhyner. You equate a criminal action with accidental one. That incident on Diamond, the cyclist did not cause the accident. He was part of it but it was mutual. We all have driven the road where a cyclist is moving against the traffic but that don't give us the right to slammed into him. The fact the driver was impaired made her an impaired driver. Where you and I would avoid the cyclist.....she could not. She was breaking the law and that is where you are stuck in the box. You think people who break the law are not accountable if the share of the incident is mutual. Standards are different, Richard, when a human life is at stake.


The White House says that the president's remarks to stop the violent "includes white supremacists, KKK, Neo-Nazi and all extremist groups." Well, of course it does, it should.

What Trump did not do was to place the responsibility of starting the violence on those neo-Nazis and white supremacists who traveled from different parts of the country to Charlottesville for the express purpose of defending white Nationalism.

What Trump did not do was to exclude the peaceful protesters from that responsibility of starting the violence. Their reaction to the neo-Nazis could only be considered "violent" if you deny them the right of self-protection. Everyone knows this. Which is why Trump looks so diminished, so small a man, today.


Mokantx, I really don't think that Georgge Soros is funding the resistance groups. That sounds like pure Fox spin. The resistance is quite real, people have woken up (even Trump supporters)  from the startling happenings each day in this bizarre Trump presidency. The protests are the only thing left for citizens to voice their concerns, and we have  much to be concerned about.  Stayed tuned, but please not to Fox news, you're getting brainwashed.


Catherine Rampbell Rambling on and on.  Your scoring sucks. For extreme achievements look at the 10 BILLION dollars he's worth. English language? Clearly his language skills got him voted in as POTUS. (not bad)  High paying job offers? YES, he offers a LOT of high paying jobs.His total would would lead the pack.


Michele, below, is correct. Hamilton is a different season than the other shows you mention. Also, according to the Broadway in Portland website, RENT is not included in the season ticket price. You must purchase tickets for that separately.

I'm surprised an editor didn't catch this. Readers count on WW for information. We shouldn't have to fact-check everything we read.


You are good...real good. Satire and irony--and humor--are so missing from our discussions, and I look forward to your continued assumption of the "authentic" believer role. Thank you.

But as you of all folks know, you cannot top the no-ironic-intent posts we sometimes see here, and surely on other sites. At the Register, there is a current discussion thread on sex education with replies that sound 100% like they could come from you---but are from folks who really believe what they say.


Completely agree with the point of view expressed by author (Andrew Cohen); delighted he chose to write on this topic.


What in the world are you talking about?  President Trump supported DACA. The jobs market and stock market is at an all time high with this president, and that helps all Americans.   "Give scraps to the poor"?   As usual with all progressive, the only yardstick of a good government is based upon welfare, and the idea that "the poor" will stay poor forever, generation after generation.

Planned Parenthood is an abortion mill with frills.


HAHAHAHA!!!!...#MAGA


Nice thread:

Americans can always be spotted by their impatience, berating customer service minions and willingness to overspend.


One of surfing's true pioneers and gentlemen.  Aside from a few aerial moves and screaming & crying about their heat scores, today's younger generation has done little for the sport.  They need to learn about great surfers like John Severson, Duke Kahanamoku, Doc Paskowitz, Rabbit Kekai, Michael Peterson, and others who blazed trails of genius, originality, and humility that's absent in the sport today.


sg, if you don't like it then don't watch.  robin and her staff dresses just fine for the games.  they wear clean and conservative clothing.  win or loss they can dress the way they want to, just as long it is presentable.  you are a manini.


The important point is that he didn't pilot the plane. Mr. Nunes cannot point to even one case of a commercial pilot in Canada actually operating a plane while intoxicated, much less a case where a passenger was injured due to the pilot being intoxicated. In other words, there is no evidence of an actual problem.


You don't think this "Misha" is one of the out-of-state fluoride proponents, do you?  Taking a new tack on harassing Clallam County residents and their newspaper?  The peculiar fellow from Michigan, perhaps?


The teaching may or may not have changed with Jesus, depending upon your knowledge of the debates of his time (the debate between Shemaya and Hillel) and whether Jesus was condemning all remarriage or simply remarriage for a better placed spouse.


It's not the direct infusion of cash that buys fealty, it's the threat that the NRA will use it's massive resources to run a more compliant candidate against him that has Ryan prostrate.
Fortunately for Ryan, his spine was removed years ago and he can Gumby his way into any position required to remain in office.


"202,000 Canadians ‘cut the cord’ " What does that have to do with "3 oil stocks to buy now"? Typical useless link from globeinvestor with sensational title to draw in more "views"!


Don't look up at the universe - the Extra-terrestrial has won an election in the USA  .-) The space ship landed somewhere in New York, where aliens are a common sight thus not attracting attention. Aliens form a favorite source of headlines in our media ........ their ravings are accepted uncritically to exercise the desperate scribblers of this remote planet - designated "Mostly Harmless" in the authoritative travel guide " Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy "..... Softwood Lumber is a favorite form of duel between the tribes, an ancient ritual to attract more females and gold than the other tribes and thereby maintain territorial superiority, drive bigger SUVs and acquire granite countertops in their home base dens, where they reproduce ........


And what has the cost been of the preference to hire male candidates over the last forever years?

This story reveals a UO activity that is utterly revolting and totalitarian.  People get offended every day for all sorts of reasons.  I am offended by the bias response team.  Freedom of expression and thought is vitally important.  Somehow we have failed the young if they cannot tolerate hearing comments that disagree with their own ways of thinking.


I believe it might just be a case of Tourette syndrome that came over him.


You want war? Be the first to volunteer yourself and your children to go fight.


Too bad you can't state your case without name calling - you don't represent your party very well by doing that but it's your choice.

I read my comment again and you're right, I did insinuate that the Alberta Conservatives are far right.  It was an error because I know that among the left and the right there are those that are extreme and those at the other end of the spectrum as well.  Not all Conservatives are are far right...only some are....but the far right can do a lot of damage in my opinion.


Miter, On a small island, bad development that doesn't comply with rational planning principles and makes tons of money for developers will always outpace needed infrastructure.  That's why there's horrible traffic on Oahu.  New infrastructure won't fix the traffic because the real problem is bad development.  When that problem is fixed, then there's a chance to fix traffic.  However, there's no indication that bad development will cease or even slow down.  Koa Ridge, with 3,500 homes, was recently approved for Central Oahu.  More traffic is being created as rail is being built.


Several things are severely bent in this country.  Thanks for pointing a few of them out.


The current leader to UKIP (after Farage quit leaving all the hard work to be done) just got his clock cleaned in a by-election in a riding which was supposed to be the Brexit capital of England! British people who voted Leave started to feel remorse the next day when they realized what they had actually voted for rather than the lies that people like Farage and Boris Johnson had told them. The backlash against UKIP has started and the self-serving Farage deserted the sinking ship.

I don't agree with you....


My understanding is that “intellectuals” should at least be “thinkers”.
I see no evidence of this in the spoutings of Chigumadzi, Malikane or Mngxitama; only the regurgitation of long disproven, impractical theories, all of which centre on taking from the productive to give to the unproductive, and preferably themselves ;-)


Pretty safe bet to design a study of an off shore animal when the scientist knows that women are afraid of sharks and won't swim into the ocean to kill him.


Popcorn futures.  That's my investment advice to all you young people looking to make a tidy profit over the next four years.


so will it be Trump vs the Fed?  The Fed really controls the value of USD based on their rhetoric and interest rate pathway forward.   Trump will want a lower USD to offset lower other currencies world wide.


I never called you a coward.

I did take exception to the fact that one of your comment told a story and that you later said you misrepresented the facts in that story. I saw you wrote that because WW was tagged and I felt you were not being fair.

I'm not apologizing for any reason other than I agree I was wrong to ever tell a person of color how they should react to something they see as racist when I don't see the same thing they do. You're entitled to your perception and I should listen openly to what you have to say. That's normally my practice and I didn't do that here. You are, of course, well within your rights to be angry about that.

Mark is out of town. I didn't realize I was wrong until you correctly mocked my argument (‘The post cannot be racist because I dont see any racism in it, end of story’) and so I apologized immediately in the same forum.


You can quit lying.   100% of all charter schools are run by an authorizing agency run by the Public.  No there is not any ‘unaccountable’ entity that can ‘withhold important stuff’.

You can trashcan your union talking points they are flat wrong.

Do some research at CDE and under CORA.


France was a nice country!  Not any more.


So do you really believe Trump "ordered" the police to rough up arrested MS-13 gang members? The president took an oath to faithfully execute the laws. By his saying that, what law did he not faithfully execute?


Thanks, I agree with you. Please let me add the following. At the Last Supper Jesus said "do this in memory of me". "This is my body". "Take and eat" It is transfer of His Mission to his disciples. We become the Body of Christ. We are a critical part of the sacrament. We are nourished spiritually to go out into the world to Follow Jesus Teachings. To love and serve one another.

Can I add " Alaska Toys" and subpar home additions adding to the scenery and beatification of what once was a great area. How about some fines for "Alaska Toys" and building without following codes. This area is such an eye sore no wonder it is cheap to live there...only to get cheaper.   Not that Anchorage is any better, tough finding a home without moving into the "free spirited Alaska thought process" of more junk is better.  Just ask my neighbor. You would think he runs an RV park and marina in 1970 when these were all new.


I'm sure you loved her every time she voted along party lines.


One of my disagreements with Barnhart as a legislator is  one I also have with Senator Prozanski.  They both use the "Emergency Clause" to prevent citizen review of their legislation by use of the referendum.

Arrogance personified.

They 'know best' so they prevent the unwashed masses from interfering by saying everything they support is an "emergency".


That would work for what, 20-30 years max before climate change really gets out of hand and violent storms in coastal areas become the norm and the seas start to rise uncontrollably - leading to the single large movement of humanity (making the Syrian emigration look small) and the inevitable political, economic and social chaos that would create. Probably ending up in a war for arable land and resources. What economy will we have then? What future for your children and grandchildren will that be?


The NY Times just posted a presidential poll in todays paper that was pre DNC and Swartz high jacking the party but the truth is being ignored. The Times Bias pro Clinton agenda, and the democratic parties lack admitting the wrong doings, and rectifying them "Hillary needs to step down. Her and Swartz have completely lost credibility" You can keep reporting things that make you feel good but that won't change the fact that soon the polls are going to be horrible. By the way the Clinton Foundation took contributions from BlackWater WorldWide in 2008 Hillary voted to invade Iraq, and is just as guilty of the Bush war crimes killing millions of innocent Iraqis, and the death, and injury of or soldiers that led to the creation of the current Terror problem.  Her judgment cannot be trusted. We don't want change later change in 4 years, or 8 we want it NOW!


The Raiders are 2-1. What part of them is "sorry"??? Never mind, your stuck on draining the swamp.... right???


It takes more votes than the demos have to override a veto.  Seems you've got your head buried in the sand with Fox News piped in.


You do know that bitumen has to be heated to even get it into tank cars right? Once it is pumped in it goes nearly solid. In the event of a car rupture it will not explode (no volatiles) and will not flow. Rail cars are much safer to transport bitumen than pipelined transporting diluted bitumen. Oil companies prefer pipelines because they are cheaper, not better for moving bitumen.


The only madness I detect is Carey, So Carey grows up in AK and conditioned by media to see the "real world" as better, he of course sez to himself "How ya gonna keep em' down on the Tundra" and wants to be hip, trendy, cool write for a leftist fish wrapper and sees outside America as more advanced and cultured then Podunk Ak.  This must be the explanation.  Of course Trump is most likely closer to American principles and practice to Mainstream America than Carey ever was or will be, who we did see and hear for years and do not want!  I think Carey fancies himself as a Far North Garrison Keeler.  A real shame!  WE love what Trump is...and can't want for a real president that believes in America and US.


AWESOME, Some of us US Citizens remember that we are a nation of laws that are there for our protection! Illegal is not what I want in an immigrant. Illegal is not what I want in a Neighbor.


Oh, get real. They avoid the shelter and camp in the woods because you can't DRINK at the shelter. How do I know this, you wonder? Homeless people have told me so.


Yeah, that was dirty pool wasn't it. I'm sure the US never do such an underhanded thing if we had the means and felt the need to do so. LOL Better an energy scare than blood in the streets. Putin isn't dumb, he knows cutting off Europe(for long) would destroy his best addicts....um..customers.


None of his supporters, that's for sure. I mean if you don't care that he is a disgusting, vile, incompetent, mentally unstable, con man, why would you care about a silly faked magazine cover.


Au contrarie, sorry to disappoint thee, but I wasn't ignored!


Resistance isn't futile, it's local and constitutionally protected. If Trumputin and its fascist friends come to bully and take a dump on democratic loving, red-blooded Americans around here, we'll be ready.

No, it's more of a resistance to the "well it doesn't make sense to me" rhetoric I hear on a day to day from people who are actually religious and climate change deniers.

People who say things like "well the sun is heating up too what about that?" or "science has been wrong about how many planets there are, how can they be right about climate change?"

Your remarks about "I wonder if the data is fudged because there is more concrete" ignores how many different sources of verification we have, if that was even true, let alone assumes the people working on this type of information 24/7 are wholly and independently incompetent.

Also, the amount of concrete isn't that much different than it was when the trend in higher temperatures started.

Again, I'm not a scientist, it's simply your logic that stood out to me as absurd.


Actually, fooling less than half of the voters in this country wasn't that difficult, nor was it hard for the Trumpster to not underestimate them, because you really can't underestimate a Trumpster; they're some of the least educated, and most ignorant people in the developed world. Unfortunately, now the rest of the world is going to pay the price, and don't think they'll forget our stupidity soon.

Abroad, Americans are perceived as being loud, rude, obnoxious, opinionated, and ignorant about the rest of the world. The Trumpster is only reassuring the rest of the world that their views of us are validated.


so you have seen these threats. Please share them with us.


Why do you think tax payers money should fund this nonsense? We have a short fall in oregon and we still spend money like it has no impact. Is this a must have or a must want?


They should open a real estate bureau in Vancouver.


Give some examples, Al. And then do homicides in the US in general.


Clearly not a winnable case for the prosecutor.


I'm not a business calling the CRA but recently had to contact them as an executor of an estate. The service was excellent. Perhaps my good impression was coloured by the impossibly bureaucratic and less-than-helpful service I received from private sector businesses I have had to deal with for the estate, closing accounts, etc. The hold times at the deceased's cable provider made the CRA appear to be incredibly responsive.


Too bad, as usual no details.  All things being equal, natural gas is the cleanest of the fossil fuels.  However, if the economics aren't there, then wait till they are.
NOTE:  fracking in folded formations (e.g. foothills) has not shown the same negative issues as fracking in flat formations.  The latter experiencing gas and chemical leaks into water supplies and farm lands.


Kubiak was the head coach, so Dennison was the O Coordinator. Gase was with Fox and Cutler in Chicago that year.


I think I read in this paper that a device has been developed in Edmonton.  It involves taking a swab from the inside of the mouth and testing in a machine that can give immediate results.  This suggests saliva can determine intoxicant levels.

It is also my understanding that the present laws in effect can temporarily suspend a license and not result in a criminal charge or loss of license.  These laws are about to be altered, remembering that they fall under narcotics control- a federal mandate.


Nobody gets exposed to "mold spores, asbestos, etc." if they don't break-in in the first place. Am I suppose to feel sorry for the criminals/drunks/morons that are breaking into places they don't belong? Intentional fires are already illegal. Perhaps we should punish the criminals vs. their victims.


Ah yes, the old "I know a couple that bought a house in Toronto twenty years ago for 140K" and "I know a couple that bought a house in Vancouver thirty years ago for 120K".

Um, hello?

What is your point? Back in those times, you could find houses in those cities that cost about five times the average annual local income or less. That was true in 1986, it was true in 1976, it was true in 1966, it was true back a hundred years.

So what?

The pertinent question is this: Why did house prices suddenly skyrocket in recent years to reach dozens of times the average annual local income in those two cities?

The ANSWER is that in the mid 1980s Canada CHANGED its immigration system hoping to vacuum up overseas multi-millionaires en masse, through investor immigrant programs.

It worked! We vacuumed them up and set in motion the trajectory that now has tiny houses selling for millions in both cities.

Should we keep doing this? Was it a good idea? Should we instead cater to local workers?


Hope the remaining nine are found so the families can have closure.


"White man". Wow.

The Globe and Mail would refuse even to publish the phrase had the word "yellow" been used in that phrase to describe a politician with ancestry from Japan or South Korea, on the grounds that it would be a racial slur to print such a phrase.

And the Globe and Mail would refuse even to publish the phrase had the word "red" been used in that phrase to describe a politician with ancestry as a native to North America, on the grounds that it would be a racial slur to print such a phrase.

Ah, column writers, but when it is a white man, the gloves are off and it is a free for all, use the phrase in pejorative fashion all you like, the Globe and Mail will not censor you...


Label it and let the market decide.


What would you call the South--the winning side?
Your understanding of the Civil War is tainted by your "political correctness," of states rights, buying into the rationalization of the "Glorious Cause".  The Southern cause was slavery.
Robert E. Lee and those who fought with him committed treason.
They didn't want to be Americans any more.
