You seize on the minor details of my analogy and twist them into a vicious reply. Perhaps my analogy was somewhat inept. However, my point was simply that just because an organization supports a particular person, doesn't mean that the person supported has any control over the supporting organization or agrees with them.
I could and do look at "crazy white Republicans" for terrorist tendencies, as you suggest. They concern me as they are not potential immigrants. They're already citizens.
Including them in my scrutiny doesn't mean that I should stop looking at Muslims for the same thing and for the same reasons I posted earlier.
Your allegation that I'm likely a racist is unfair and unfounded. I could just as easily and unfairly say that your vicious reply is just an attempt to cover your own racial prejudices. That's most likely ridiculous.
You obviously have some very strong feelings on this topic. That doesn't excuse the incivility of your response. Can't we just disagree?


Your first paragraph is dismissive and childish.  You have no idea what I spend money on - and your comment is a cheap baseless shot.

Btw...it is certainly NOT the only "award winning" publication out there....do YOU read the other publications the CPA issues awards to??  National Catholic Register, Our Sunday Visitor....heck, even Diocesan newspapers receive awards, if that impresses you.

Of course, in typical fashion, you never answered the question I posed.


When are they going to work on the blocking function?  :-( :-( :-(


If all Trump did was put a conservative judge on the court , that would be success enough . But he's done so much more.  Illegals crossing into America have been cut in half .  Regulations hurting the economy are being erased by the day---including ones in Alaska .  Even more than that---he has given American's hope for the future .  When people have to pay less in taxes next year , he'll win re-election in a landslide.   Most were proud of the bombing in Syria . Just wait until North Korea is fixed .   Trump is meeting with leaders around the world and getting things fixed.  Obama tried to destroy America for 8 years. Trump has started to turn it around in 100 days.  The way he's going , history may record him as our greatest president of all time.


It is a catch-22. A newspaper wants to explain a topic for a typical reader, so a theme like "who are the good-hearted" is a good way to connect the research with the reader. But then people say, "Well, duh! Pay me those bucks and I'll tell you who is good hearted!"

If the article had gone with, "fMRI identifies neural activity correlated with altruistic behavior and correlated with increasing age" most readers would say "Wha?" but fewer would scoff at the simplicity or self-evidence of the research.


If Justin bleeds votes on the left it won't be only because Mr. Singh "makes us feel better" but because the Liberals didn't follow through on their policies - namely electoral reform.

I'd say the opposite -those people are much more the same than they are different.


The due process clause acts as a safeguard from arbitrary denial of life, liberty, or property by the Government outside the sanction of law?

The National Popular Vote bill retains the constitutionally mandated Electoral College and state control of elections, and uses the built-in method that the Constitution provides for states to make changes. It ensures that every voter is equal, every voter will matter, in every state, in every presidential election, and the candidate with the most votes wins, as in virtually every other election in the country.

Every voter, everywhere, for every candidate, would be politically relevant and equal in every presidential election. Every vote would matter in the state counts and national count.


Wow, I thought the fans wanted Helfrich gone but it appears that the RG reporters have their own agenda.

I am sorta ashamed for Fr. Reese writing this column. He recounts case after case of how the Bishops acted for Trump and against Clinton and now, they are "disappointed"? Its like a treasure hunter who bought a swamp for a pittance, dug up all the gold he coveted and then whines because he can't grow grass. And then gets a pass for it.
As the church consistently holds on marriage: you made your bed, live in it. There may be no coming back for the US hierarchy for their pandering support and cautious non-denunciation of Donald J Trump. He is now what he was; how he stands is an abomination. They knew it in plenty of time.


alesia asks: "Do you think that the 30% that you mention will then be returned to the taxpayers/economy?"
No. It will stay with the taxpayers/economy.

I would much rather have government bureaucrats between me and my physician than insurance company bureaucrats.

BTW: I have been going to the VA for almost 20 years, and they are great here in Denver anyway. Also, while visiting my daughter and her family in Washington state, I went to the VA there, got right in and had good treatment. I don't have first hand knowledge of any other VA facilities anywhere else so can't comment on the whole system. If you know of any veterans who are not using the VA, tell them to check it out. There are no monthly premiums or fees, only a small co-pay for the treatments. And the wait time is no different from what I have experienced with a private physician. Certain people who don't like big government try to denigrate the VA when they don't know what they're talking about.

There is nothing wrong in introducing  all students to the basics of a given academic subject. Some will grasp it and some won't. To fail a student for not understanding basic algebra makes no sense. Those who can not understand  algebra should be given the choice to study general mathematics. Of course math plays an important role in a persons life. But everyone doesn't need algebra to survive. There are a number of  professional and well paying  jobs out there that do not require advanced math.


Why not just house all of these refugees all along Sussex St and in tents in Parliament hill.  Give them free scholarships to the private schools Justine and the other MPs send their kids to.  Also give them access to all the same hospitals and other services that Justine and the MPs use in Ottawa.


They have so many tests -- monthly and weekly and special, we become numb to the alerts and don't even listen.  For example, potential flash flood warnings are occurring all the time, but my area doesn't ever flood!


Yes - credit cards and banking.   They should be regulated consistently with a view to avoiding "consumer arbitrage".

For example:  credit card reporting to the credit scoring firms (e.g., Equifax) plays a big role in determining how much money bank's charge for consumer financing.   To say this process is opaque and poorly understood is an understatement and there is little or no accountability to consumers.   This needs to change as there is a huge conflict of interest built in.   Credit scoring firms also need to become more accountable, and should be required to disclose their,... (ahem) models.


Just give the 100 billion to Quebec and get it over with......I read the "infrastructure" including bridges are collapsing in Montreal....no idea why NEW stuff has to be built....so just give all the money to Quebec or Bombardier


I was referring to empties. Some people horde their empties for years, and Ontario is the only place where they would be accepted without a hassle. In Quebec and the US, you can only return the brand to a store if they are currently selling it. If they no longer sell it, or aren't aware that they sell it, you get an argument.

In Ontario, you take any alcohol container sold in the province over 100mL (be it TBS, LCBO, beer or wine from a grocery store, brewery bottle shops, wineries, distilleries, etc.) and you get your money back.


The bottom line is DT has a responsibility to his investors too employ every deduction he can, otherwise he wouldn't be exercising responsible fiducial oversight of the business he is tasked with running. Hillary would be in the same boat in her running of the foundations in the Clinton name.

The results of the election can be summed up in a partial sentence from above " ...in a failed effort to fix the budget deficit." They failed. They put party ahead of state, didn't listen to their constituents, and now they are out. We will finish cleaning house during the November elections.

"closing U.S. borders to immigrants and travellers from seven majority-Muslim countries "

All the Canadian commentators here would love these US rejects. Canadians could accommodate all their cultural demands. Canadians have been brainwashed by Trudeau that Canada is the worlds first post national territory, where all cultures are equal no matter how superstitious, misogynist, paternal, barbaric or fundamentalist. After all according to Trudeau 'diversity is strength '. I don't know why Canadians and Trudeau are so hesitant to accommodate them by outlawing the holidays of Christmas, Easter, Boxing Day and Victoria Day, introducing hard core Sharia Law and turning the CBC into a broadcaster for the call to prayer hourly.


Oh please, insurance premiums are based on the financial risk the insurer accepts. The higher the risk the more the premium. The idea of basing the entire nation's insurance premiums on the financial risk of the 10% of individuals using 90% healthcare is total nonsense. You don't buy insurance to cover that 10% you find a way to pay their bills through taxes or other means. In that way the premiums for the other 90% is based on the other 10% healthcare cost. Lower premiums, smaller out pocket totals and smaller deductibles.


klastri, what makes you think you are superior in any way to the weak minded? Why is it you cannot accept other peoples opinions? Bigoted?

So you think that the racists will stay in their little holes as long as liberals don't try to remove public monuments to white supremacy?

In that case, let's erect more monuments to white supremacy. That'll end racism once and for all.


Maybe, maybe not.


More and more republican senators are abandoning dog whistle partisanship and realizing that repealing the ACA w/o a replacement is recipe for devastating election losses in the future. Polls have shown the ACA to be popular even among those who voted for the Cheetofuhrer. It will be entertaining to watch the warring factions of the GOP try to draft replacement language to what was essentially a republican idea to begin with.


A complete cop-out by McConnell to take a position where Trump is involved?  Color me unsurprised.  What is the closest McConnell has come to being critical of Trump's mistakes?  I think it might be when he said he backed Congressional investigations into Russian hacks when Trump was arguing it was all a witch hunt.


Can you be specific about how YOUR healthcare was thrown into chaos.  Thought so, you're doing just fine.


From the look of the boat it probably needed to go to dry dock for new paint job.
At least every one got off. Hope no more fuel leak.


This article misses one point.  Why did the court and police keep her in custody??  It was likely because she was a risk to flee, not be found and therefore the case falls apart and a suspect walks free.  Yes we can do better to treat victims more fairly, but I am willing to assume that the courts and police needed to take extreme measures to ensure the victim gets to court, so the trial can go ahead and hopefully the accused is convicted for his brutal allegation.


May I suggest you look up what Kapernick had to say when this all began. Then come back and tells everyone what the NFL are kneeling for.


Wouldn't it be simpler to commission a whole new Riel? With all the money being thrown around with red couches and snakes-and-ladders, maybe bundle it up with the series of 2-minute orchestral fanfares and create something more lasting.

In fact, deconstructing the 'disgust' opinion is very easily done. Just as the disgust can be deconstructed.
That erroneous 'opinion' does not alter the survey findings and the survey findings quoted aren't affected by, nor are they reliant on some of the other questions asked on the survey.
It’s also worth noting that Drum provides stats about mental illness and substance abuse rates for the homeless, but the statistic to back up his claim that they are potentially dangerous never appears.
He is attempting to rationalize the irrational and that means taking as many logical fallacies as possible out for a spin.
But so be it. If someone's refusal to assume all homeless people are dangerous and suffer from untreated illnesses, or to being disgusted by them for being sick means they are crazy, then to hell with Kevin Drum.


Lynn:  I'm not sure it's fair or constructive to brand those who disagree with you "dullards."  We can have different opinions and still all be reasonable, rational, intelligent people.  It's very difficult to have a civil conversation with someone who first insults you.  Sometimes it seems you're simply venting your anger and aren't interested in a constructive conversation.  If this is the case, please just say so, and I will cease trying.  thanks, Gary Crum


they need to Drain da Swamp. Start doing what they promise for the people within the US, stop lying and deceit to the American People. The Democrat party has been exposed this past elections. It's okay to run on your principles but to lie and deceive US citizens is really bad to get elected


A climate change study was conducted by MIT in April 2016, titled 'How much of a difference will the Paris Agreement make?'. "The research showed that if countries abided by their pledges in the deal, global warming would slow by between 0.6 degree and 1.1 degrees Celsius by 2100, Reuters reported."
Wow! A 1% slowing down of global warming after 80 years! In other words, it would make a tiny difference. THAT'S "IF COUNTRIES ABIDED BY THEIR PLEDGES IN THE DEAL!" A non-binding agreement that has no teeth. Let's see, I wonder how many countries would keep their promises when nothing would happen if they didn't. I would bet the U.S. would be one of the stupid countries that actually kept or tried to keep their promises while the rest of the world laughed at us.
We would have to pay $3 bill a year to countries like China and India who don't have to do anything for years! Won't happen. The stupid, rich kid just got a whole lot smarter.  Not true for some...

ADN should apologize to Alaskans for such a smearing and bigoted article.  Shame on you.  Just another liberal smear peace.  Shame shame   This is not New York or Seattle.  We don't want all this social engineering and manipulation agenda.


We know what will happen.  If we just 'see' what happens, we'll get a market-driven version of Portland, which is what's happening to other cities without citizen action to guide the direction toward what our shared values are.  For me, it's affordability, excellent public education as a high priority, socio-economic diversity, livability and a healthy environment.

Our house,  was built in 1957.  It and many homes here in Anch. predate the EPA, which was created by Pres. Nixon (1970's).

Most of the pipes in the houses are original, as is the "feed" pipe from the city.  I don't believe people here were ingesting lots of lead here pre-1974

I think people were aware of issues about lead....and acted accordingly....since lead was reported as a problem as early as the 1770"s....Ben Franklin reported on it because it effected type setters in Colonial America....we knew about lead issues before there was an EPA

Somehow "free" people here in Alaska survived prior to the EPA.

Just running #'s in my head....it looks like approx. 7 million dollars and 7 EPA jobs here (20% cut)

I don't see the sky falling yet.....maybe tomorrow.


Why would they?

When Trudeau Père was fist elected PM, Canada ran a Primary SURPLUS of 1 % of GDP, had a debt service charge of 1.9% of GDP, for a consolidated deficit of 0.9% of GDP.

When he left office 16 years later, he left a Structural Primary DEFICIT  of 2.7% of GDP, a Debt Service charge of 5.4% of GDP, for a RECORD deficit of 8.1%.

Even though Mulroney turned the Primary DEFICIT back into a structural SURPLUS, and Canada ran a Structural Primary Surplus from '87 to the GFC, it took ten years and a Global boom to bring the Consolidated budget back to surplus.

Once you get off course it becomes very hard to get back on, and the next recession will push us further off course


All I care about is wage growth for the average man. GDP growth is only good for families such as the Thomson's and Weston's.


Yea, you nailed it genius. ::eyeroll::

The public meeting law is a great concept; implementation of the details has always been the problem with it.  I think that is why the number of 'exceptions' or 'exemptions' built into it and added to it over the years are now into at least double digits and I think triple digits


The Trump bashing and hysteria is getting tired.  This guy thinks that President Trump exercising his lawful Constitutional powers and responsibilities is somehow dictatorial.   The Globe needs to hire some professional journalists instead of leftist hacks who are going to whine for at least the next eight years and likely more.

3. Dispense the Grand Master and his allies from their religious vows. If Festing refuses to resign the Vatican could dispense him from his vows of poverty, chastity and obedience which would make it impossible to continue in his role. According to the order’s rules, the Grand Master must be a solemnly professed religious, as should the knights who hold the organisation’s leadership roles. But out of the 14,000 or so members of the order only 50 have made these vows. Dispensing some of them from their vows would not have a major impact on the life of the order and could also pave the way for reforming religious life inside the knights.

4. Move Cardinal Burke. The Pope moved the United States’ cardinal - one of his most prominent critics - to patron of the order as a way of getting him out of running the Church’s supreme court equivalent. But Francis could decide that Burke failed to communicate his wishes to the order and therefore needs to be moved again.

There was absolutely NOTHING wrong with my 2016.  It was the year of the Monkey, so could expect turbulence.  But I turned 60, and was born in the Year of the Monkey, so double bonus.  I was as healthy as ever, lived happily off my own income, and did not pay one cent in tax to the federal government.  Yes, it was a great year!


Well, this story pretty much explains the supposed success of pre-k.
But on a more important note, the author doesn't confirm any of the income statements of the people contributing to this story; so for now all we can do is trust but the burden to verify is lacking which means there's a big hole in this story.


Relax, Trump fanboys.

We may miss the inauguration, but we'll definitely make if for the impeachment.


Awesome!!!!!


Good thoughts and ideas here! (and not just for 20-somethings) Thank you.


"Besides, it's an admission of a weak argument for his case."

Exactly.  Like Metternich, a century and a half earlier, JPII was trying to delay the inevitable.  He knew there was no rational or Biblical argument to keep women out of the priesthood.  Paul VI's advisors reached that same conclusion.


"Impressive. She identified a bad thing, and then identified a second bad thing so as to mitigate the sins of the first."

Sorry  you jerk.  Trump is not a bad thing, and we're not bad for voting him in.  Now go find a beach and pound sand.


Tillerson may have to check with China first to see if he can do anything....


The ANSCA corporations were set up to conform to, and work within existing laws, as they had to be able to interact with all the other corporations in the world.  And that is where it ends ... we are family, and our corporations are, in practice, family businesses.  The Board of Directors certainly make decisions and do business, like any regular corporation, on the surface ... but the real power is still held by traditional clans, each to their own long established interests.  "Auntie Em" still has more real say in what the corporations do, than the directors.  Whale boat captains, hunting leaders, traditional dancers and carvers, elders, all have much influence.  The boards not only listen to them, but the boards do as they are told.  And it isn't a "do this or that" kind of being told ... it's more like "You want us to honor you at your funeral, and continue to support your clan?"  "Let all of your family keep their high life-style, their High-Cast?"  "Then honor traditional power!"


Those left-wing  media "bigots" are so annoying (but they did use the term way before the POTUS)!

Richard,
Sometimes the only way to change things is to hit where it hurts. Some people have hearts and care about the living conditions they collect obscene amounts of money for while others only care about getting the rent on time. So, unfortunately, the only way to get that attention is by hitting them in the pocket.
I knew several families who sued the State of Alaska over the fact that the State had knowingly licensed a daycare home despite the fact the daycare operator's husband had previously been convicted TWICE for the sexual abuse of young children. As part of the suit they wanted the way daycares were licensed to change so in the future it would not happen again. That was the second most important part of the suit, The first being money to pay for years and years of counseling and treatment for their boys as well as for the rest of their families who were traumatized as well.
It certainly sounded like the parents tried very hard to get the previous landlord to fix things.


What a dumb idea....


In the most recent scandal (it's getting difficult to keep track), Trump is accused of funneling donations made for a Children's Cancer Charity into his own pockets.  Now we know the real reason US bishops supported him:  they and he share the same values regarding money vs traumatized children.


Yeah, it sure was.


Timothy McVeigh killed 168 with a truck.  Terrorists in 2001 killed thousands with planes.  If one wants to kill large numbers of people guns are a relatively inefficient tool.  Las Vegas was the height of mass shootings in this country, and doesn't come close to a major terror incident.  How many people realize just how easy it is to create a phosgene gas infusion into a  ventilation system?  Cry if you want about taking everyone's guns away, it will not stop mass killings.


I just knew there was trouble brewing today...


Fortunately for Trudeau the global economy is growing. Canada as a trading nation will benefit from this activity despite what Trudeau does. Too many people have attributed  economic success or failure solely to what Canada's politicians do, this is not the case.
Nevertheless  I believe Trudeau's economic policies will hurt the economy. His tax polices are anti-growth and his debt will negatively impact the economy as government interest payments rise and social programs are cut.


Who cares? move on


Haha..The Artist formally known as Prince....not Michael Jackson Jr. who is also known as Prince Jackson.  Did you think these were the same people?


Perhaps not *the* most interesting in the world, but Ontario as well as British Columbia have some great wine producers that are getting the rest of the world talking. Here in the UK a lot of the wine merchants are raving about chardonnay, pinot noir and riesling from Ontario (Norman Hardie and Tawse are but two names that come to mind), along with syrah, pinot noir and other varieties from BC.

The Escalade's powerful engine together with a lead foot can easily give the described behavior. He is probably mashing the accelerator at the same time that he is putting it into drive. The hunting for a gear he described is similar in that if the revs are high and you take the foot entirely off the accelerator quickly, the dropdown is not smooth.
What he needs to do at startup is to allow the drive to start moving the car before applying the accelerator gently. If you mash the accelerator down, it will burn rubber anyway. When he is in gear, he need to just ease off on the gas and allow the change to proceed smoothly. There can be rev matching even with an automatic, so you just need to know the change points.


Kiz, I don't think you appreciate the situation. Boycotting NFL games is not a bluff. As long as the politicization of what is essentially entertainment continues, I will boycott the NFL, and so will many others. Our priorities are Police officers, Country, flag and national anthem ahead of sports. This hierarchy is not going to change. The athletes are forcing us to make a choice, and no amount of enticement will suffice, as long as the disrespect continues. If one has a life, it is no great sacrifice to boycott sports which are made offensive.


There are so many problems with this.  Privacy, yes, is a big problem with tracking through a smartphone app.  But what about more practical questions like how to distinguish between someone who is a carpool passenger -- or even riding a bus or light rail?  The current system provides an incentive for those who choose more environmentally friendly alternatives, such as high mileage hybrids and electric cars -- is removing that incentive ultimately a social good?  The beauty of the gas tax is that its relatively simple to administer and eliminates the need for things like determining whether a car at the gas pump should or should not pay gas tax -- a process that will have to individually occur literally thousands of times each day.  The problem is that the state is not generating enough revenue through the current gas tax -- increase the gas tax if necessary, don't create a massive Rube Goldberg bureaucracy to do it.


Uh, yeah, that was my point. And how is the rest of the world relevant to Colorado's energy model?


Yes, the tiny steps lead to nowhere.  There is no indication that the Pope has any intention of taking a larger step, or even of encouraging anyone else to take such a step.


What a bad idea. Russell's is just not funny. His material is lazy and lame


Why so abrupt I wonder?


I'm pleased to see that General Leslie is getting a higher profile role. I was a little surprised that he wasn't made MND when the Trudeau Cabinet was sworn in but Sajjan also had a strong background for that position. It will be interesting to see how Leslie and Sajjan work together.


Wow, it's really scary that you can equate my or anyone else's lies with that of the potus, the leader of the free world and the bearer of the nuclear codes.  I truly don't know what to say if you don't know the difference.  And "why does it matter at all if the potus is or isn't lying"?  Your attitude explains a lot about your vehement defense of this nasty buffoon.


"The irony stems from the fact that NRDC was one of the leading voices for closing down coal mines and coal-fired electric-generating plants.

Do any of those nations you allude to, did they do this themselves, too?  Just wondering.  And if they did, were they able to oust the person(s) who failed to "serve" and via the law of unintended consequences fail to see the end result?

Thanks Mr Obama.  Appreciate!


Dave Campbell, none of what you posted excuses the fact that Reinbold pocketed $948.00 of per diem that she wasn't entitled to, and then only after that fact was brought out in a public forum did she offer to make it right. She claimed that she "didn't notice" the $948.00 bump to her bank account. Really? And this is someone that we want involved in deciding our multi-billion dollar budget?


"No competition, entrenched monoploy , lack of choice"

Unfortunately that describes most of Canada.  But you left out collusion, usury, false advertising, and fraud.

Ask any Canadian if they have ever been defrauded by their telecom provider.  9 out of 10 will answer yes and in fact most have been on multiple occasions for some small amount of money each time.

The telecoms know that no one will sue them for $50, but when you multiply that by millions of people over two decades...  Well you get the idea.


It is not Doug Chin's moral conviction or sense of ethnic justice that I question.

It is more of a balancing act, between the civil rights of good & non-practicing sharia law Muslims, versus Muslim terrorists.

There are many people who strongly believe that sharia law should remain intact.

I have a problem with child brides, multiple wives, a temporary wife, sex slaves, wife beating, honor killing, killing of non-Muslims, etc...


Most of the attackers in France have been French nationals.


"is" should read "if".  Com'on Civil comments, the edit feature has been broken for too long!  There is no "Save" button.  I reported this weeks ago, and you even acknowledged with an email.


innocent until proven guilty?  or is this a situation where you must prove your innocence


An embargo to stop a rogue country from building nukes?
Don't bother. The next democrat in the white house will take his or her 'speakers fee' and will overturn it.


"Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, a Trump supporter who was in Charlottesville on Saturday, quickly replied. “I would recommend you take a good look in the mirror & remember it was White Americans who put you in the presidency, not radical leftists,” he wrote."

The tRUMP is doesn't single out white nationalist because he is their leader.


I didn't realize that to "speak truth to power" was/is on the school's checklist.


Well I am glad we are not going down this path of reform but find the justification interesting in that it seems they are afraid of the democratic representation that may result, ie fringe groups.  After all if some Canadians want to support fringe groups shouldn't they be allowed to be represented?.   I also find it interesting that fringe groups used to be the left and now they are coming from the political right, how the world has changed


That guy has serious personal issues.


Didn't know Caesar was still alive.....

So if you want to swing that way. Guess we should render tribute to Geo. Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln. After all it is their images on our money.


Not popular,  I haven't seen anyone using them here (even less than "little potato"). Well the Chinese nicknames are used by people daily and everywhere.
It has no system difference, if you go to Hongkong or Taiwan forums, you see more people use nicknames than actually call real names of the government heads.
It is more animal farm here.


Agree. The mayor says it is $10 billion - NOW.  What about a year or two from now?  How much will it cost then?  Do they now know that it will be in fact more than $10 billion but he doesn't want to tell us while he is making his pitch and still has to give a report to the FTA later this month?  What happens two years from now when he comes back to the legislature to ask for an extension until then next millennia and a bump in the rate?  It just goes on and on and on .....


Irony at its finest.


Well, thanks for the substantive comment, Wavemaker.


"But when that is followed by a Trump tweet criticizing the mayor of London for a reason Trump misunderstood ..." -- Stephen Cohn
President Trump didn't misunderstand anything. Trump has a personal grudge against the Mayor of London, and acted accordingly. The mayor of London was clearly talking about an increased police presence in the city when he asked Londoners not to be alarmed.
More broadly, it's boorish and the height of bad taste to criticize an ally when it has been attacked. Trump only later sent his condolence.
And, both of these writers have rather smug and spotty memories. There was plenty of Obama Derangement Syndrome shown by conservatives during President Obama's term.


Did anyone check your voter ID card? I didn't think so.


<Citation needed>

And while we're at it?  8 USC Sect 1401 says:

"a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof;"

I'm sure that if you were to go to the SCOTUS with this, you'd find pretty quickly that being subject to the jurisdiction of the US doesn't mean showing allegiance to. That's a very, very dangerous, slippery slope that would result in statelessness to whoever the out-of-power party is the moment the in-party power hears "I would rather be somewhere else rather than here under YOUR control!" It may sound good to you as a Republican if it's done to Democrats, but I'm sure you'll sing a wholly DIFFERENT tune if/when it's a Democrat doing it to you. :)

I really hope that gets squashed, because I don't want it done to anyone.


anyone who believes that the Ontario Liberals have a clue about any fiscal matter have not been paying attention


Yeah I think I saw that lady down at an anti-Trump protest.


Hawaii is proud and excited to have both of you back to guide the endearing program forward. Tanks-eh!!


"But then I saw the kid ambling — no, it was even slower that that."

It's not just the texters. Many kids saunter across the road after exiting their bus ride home from school, self-absorbed and oblivious to the rest of the world.


How about "climate scientist"?


Many undocumented aliens have continued to live in the US while reporting regularly to ICE; deportation is not automatic as you imply.

I agree with Judge Reinhardt's opinion that the federal gov't. decision to deport Ortiz and break up his family is “inhumane” and “contrary to the values of the country and its legal system.”

Reinhardt pointed out that Ortiz is a "good hombre," meaning he is the kind of guy our immigration laws were designed to let in.  It makes no sense to deport him, nothing is gained.

It takes a mean spirit to want Ortiz's family broken because of something he did as a 15 year old.  Family values are more important than laying blame.


Dare I ask how that little leaky Canadian border problem is going (not unrelated to article subject matter), or will this post be deleted as well?


This road should of and could of been built year ago, when I moved to Juneau in '71, they had been talking about it for years, even then. And this was LONG before any major mining was going on, so all those yapping, "It will only benefit so and so's mine" are full of crap...


BobC56 Canadian American trade is not your best subject is it?


He is a natural. Born to be a football player and coach.


So why can't you make a rebuttal without bringing up something that has nothing to do with the comment.  It just shows you don't have an argument to rebut.

If you want to talk about the birther movement, then do so.

But I think most people would say that there was nothing to that movement - it wasn't even a movement.  It was just people saying something that was so far fetched that only those who would believe it would never have entertained voting for Obama.


There's the post of the day, folks.


Okay, I'm still waiting for these supposed impeachment hearings that liberals are hoping and praying for! Maybe Trump should hire some young intern to crawl under his desk...think that'll help?


Interesting issue. As of today, the nationwide state education hour requirements for manicurists ranges from 0 to 1000 hrs. As with statehood, we now rank 49th, at 12 hours. The next lowest requirement is 100 hours and 45 of 50 states require 200 hours or more. Marissa's counterparts in the 48 states which require more education than ours complete their educational requirements and obtain licenses. In our state, hairdressers, truck drivers, bar tenders, painters, crane operators, fishing guides, and hunting guides do the same.  It's simply a part of becoming a professional.
As a side note, HB 222 passed the House, but was shot down by the Senate. Some interesting 11th-hour  negotiating got it slipped into a veterinary bill (SB 51) that passed the Senate today. I'm not sure what the two have in common, aside from trimming nails. Maybe our Senators intended for both to be one-stop-shops for us and our pets.


Why is this comment “Uncivil”?

“A piñata?

Hopefully it wasn’t filled with the kind of sugary items which are no longer permitted in the vending machines in our high schools! That would be grounds for dismissal from one’s job in the P/C land which used to be public education.


Hahaha! Nice pickup.  Yes, it's difficult to envision Trump having the patience to thrice temperamentally endure ninety minutes of tough questioning from unsympathetic moderators and audience members. His podium will be placed in an untenable and self-imposed position between the rock of needing to appear presidential in order to appeal to independents and undecideds, and the hard place of needing to feed more get-out-the-vote red meat to his most rabid xenophobic misogynistic nationalistic  supporters.


“My family has had such a tough time. I hope the Prime Minister of Canada can bring us home as quickly as he can,” she said.
-

If she is placing her hopes with prime minister Simpleton
-
she has no hope


I am amazed there are those who find Trump to be an effective president, even though their numbers are steadily shrinking. What positive things has the man actually accomplished that could possibly compensate for his bull in the china shop way of approaching his nebulous agenda?


As a former and probable future Coloradan, I'm upset with the decision to cede the state's sovereignty in this matter to the federal government. I don't care which "side" you're on, this is a very bad thing to do to the citizens of the state of Colorado.


'''''get the hook!'''   as they used to say!!!!!


you wouldn't know how a Vet would feel about a glass of cold water on a hot day.
now beat it!


Bingo!
Mazie did the same thing yesterday. Both of them are in denial, have accepted "Islamic Terrorism" as the norm, it can't be stopped, get used to it syndrome. Not one breathe of the Islamist War on the World. Bet these 2 won't even utter the letters ISIS.
Ego and money! gambling with US citizen lives. As I've said many times, Hawaii welcomes all ISIS, Taliban, AlQueda, "illegal" migrants, MS13, etc.

Don't tell, Hawaii won't ask! It's Europe in Paradise.


Dear, fellow government, your colony Alaska demands to be treated like a full-fledged state. It's time.

Now ask me the odds of the federal government actually allowing the Alaska colony to develop an economy independent of the federal government ....

(Hysterical laughter)


Sorry we're going to half to cut instruction time. "Teachers" need to have a conference in Maui this summer and PERS has a shortfall. The schools could use some help though "teachers" can only subtly suggest that teen pregnancy is a good thing for the school, you know it helps them get more federal dollars if a pregnant girl stays in school. Double if the father is a student as well. So if you could advocate for teen pregnancy double dipping could come back and be the norm again and that will help with equality among "teachers" it is highly unfair that those from the 90's don't get paid like those from 2010's. Thank You.


Explicit antisemitism. Charming.


Sorry Jane.

We cannot recognize your legitimacy to speak on behalf of environmentalists nor natives.


Had Chin let the original temp order go into effect, it would be on the verge of expiring. Instead, he grandstands for attention; hires outside attorneys that we taxpayers cannot afford; and distracts the Nation from other priorities.  Oh, and just love that Ige leadership ...


No difference between the smooth talking "Bubba" Clinton and the creepy yellow haired clown currently inhabiting the oval office?


Cons really know their hair!


Lie detectors don't prove anything. They are not reliable...and not admissible as evidence...if you read the actual account of that "Hillary defends rapist" story, one thing she "laughed" about was the unreliability of lie detectors...


Let's Drill Baby Drill and get better Judges that want more oil produced in the U.S. so we can stop sending our money to OPEC!


Especially after breakfast and coffee. Lasts about five minutes. Thank you for your kind word!


January 20th can't get here fast enough. I am so sick of the childish bickering and temper tantrums from the same people who said it would be Trump supporters acting this way when they thought their candidate would win the election.

Please people, Once he is sworn in, will you just accept that you are stuck with him for a least 4 years and get on with your lives?  There are either 5 or 7 stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance)  Let's just go with 5 and try to get to acceptance as soon as possible!


Why would a private investor want to put money when the planning and management of the rail is so bad that shoveling 100 dollar bills into a BBQ pit would accomplish the same thing as investing in rail.


Loved your "Motorcycles and Sweetgrass"....(hope that was the right order).   However, I respectfully disagree.  It sounds like a lot of caring what other people think deep down.  Notice you consciously avoided the Boyden comparison as well.  Wondering if you like the work (amazing) or you are friends.

Anyways I do respectfully disagree sir and I guess I am missing missing the forest for the trees.  Life evolves and no one gets stuck in the mud quite like those that feel victimized.


Baloney. You are angry because you are you!


Seriously, what did they get you for?


But, but, Hillary can't kill, clean, and filet (or flay) a moose in 30 seconds!


"Choo-choo bro" pleads the fifth. LOL


This is an ONLINE poll which quotes a percentage-point margin of error and attempts to project to total U.S. adults, both in violation of industry norms. At its most basic, the sampling frame and population of interest do not even match, and nowhere on the Politico site is there a link to a more detailed methodological statement -- crosstabs and topline marginals notwithstanding. (Ditto on the Morning Consult site.) This work may contain some interesting information, but the breach of basic methodological standards calls into question everything else in the survey.


Obviously you don't much in taxes.  Perhaps you're a net taker.


What this legislature can steal from you and your children a subsequent legislature cannot give back all you have lost but it CAN make sure it doesn't happen again.  But only if we all clean house - so that every legislator (every one, all of them, none left--NONE, zero, zilch) who puts his/her/its hand in your pocket loses their next election, primary or general, by 90% or better.  Then, by public  contribution, erect some sort of statue that would function like a grim scarecrow for the new crop.


-- I also know things that other people don’t know so we cannot be sure,” Trump said.

Putin phoned him and said he didn't do it and being good buddies Trump believed him.


Again. This isn't about me. It is about justice and lack the of it for Native people. We need justice. That's what it's about.


Christy is so out to lunch that she thinks a penthouse is $1,000/month? Hey Lady, wake up - a BACHELOR SUITE is $1,000 mo. You know, a coffin-sized box is $1,000/mo.

Why did you deregulate our real estate for foreign owners? Why haven't you banned them? Why would you think that deregulating rental freezes for foreign owners and insider trading Real Estate Agents and BC liberals that fail FINTRAC results in BACHELOR SUITES at $1,000/mo

... and still think that minimum wage can even pay for that?


Today there is a report of an ice shelf the size on Delaware just about to crack from Antarctica, coral reefs are dying, and the ocean levels are rising. Those are the facts. Apparently you know how to write but do you know how to read?


Goatie good to read your pontifications again.   I like several hundred other old readers of the Globe and Mail gave up due to the constant and brutal 18 hour a day troll agitation , particularly from you know who.   All the best to you and your Jets.


Governments pass unconstitutional laws and you know what: it takes a lot of time and money to get them overturned ( or upheld) and then they can go right ahead and re-pass another similar law. We've seen it happen multiple times in Canada with prostitution laws and other social laws - e.g  Quebec's language laws and in the USA with laws restricting gun ownership.  All you guys who think that national constitutions actually work should consider the fact that the intervening judicial processes tend to render them moot. If people where the pipelines go don't accept them, then they won't get built.


They are in a tough spot.  If they do nothing, 20 Million people will lose their coverage when obama care fails.


Ill informed voters that completely destroyed Joe in a write in campaign.

Maybe you and the other Joe Miller bots forgot something after last campaign. Running around talking down about Alaskans and whom they vote for is not viewed as acceptable. We respect one another.

I would ask for proof, but your side never uses it as reality seems to have a honest quality to it.


Allan Ross, I defend your right to be uncivil (sarcasm)
Too bad I missed your rebuttal that did not meet civility standards
Can you post it again, this time with civility?


Where did I say they were my surgeries? Please re-read my statement; the "2 people" I referred to were not for myself.

Really confused by this statement: "You neglect the obvious failures because insurance by definition cannot cover existing anything!!" I honestly don't understand what that means.

It's like car insurance. You pay for car insurance. And you may never need it. But you still pay for it. Someone else is in an accident, and your fees help pay for their recovery; that's how insurance works.

Seen online: "I'm always so amazed when I hear American say things like 'healthcare is a privilege, not a right.' Like how do you reach a point in your life where you think people deserve to die because they can't afford healthcare. What in the actual f--- is wrong with you."


Some of the scientific assertions in the Jefferson City document are questionable. At one point, it advises playing the "waiting game" with trans students: "Research indicates that most children who explore gender identity conform to the sex assigned at birth by mid-twenties." A more accurate statement is this one, from Pediatric News: "Finally, children who have gender dysphoria beginning at puberty or persisting after puberty generally have persistent gender dysphoria in adulthood." (citation: Nat Rev Endocrinol. 2011 May 17;7(8):466-72.)

Also, the statement that "Students with gender identity concerns tend to have higher rates of attempted suicide" masks the real finding, that "the incidence of mental health problems among transgender and gender nonconforming youth is higher . . . [and] this is especially true if they are unable to live as the gender with which they identify."

I find it quite reckless that diocese is willing to distort some of the basic research this way.


"few"?

All these suicides bombing around the world? Are these 'deranged'?

Define 'few', since you brought it up.


ED you forgot to mention that his grandfather was German.


The rate they will be taxed at is the same rate everyone with the same income is taxed at. There is no "damage" if that is what occurs, there is only fairness.  Taxes in Canada are far too high, the answer is to plug the loopholes and lower the tax rates for all Canadians, not preserve loopholes for a privileged few that make no sense.


Went to the first classic in ‘78, saw the no . player in the country, Darrel Griffith of Louisiville, Dr. Dunkstein!!  RIP GAS.


John Roberts promised at his confirmation hearing to hew to stare decicis (precedent) and he promised not to "legislate from the bench". He has broken his word on both accounts, and thus, we have Trump, The Big Cheeto, as president of the most powerful (and potentially dangerous) nation in the history of humankind. This is a very, very worrisome situation. I'm worried. If you're not worried, you're not thinking. One bad tweet, and the world would become so radioactive that only glow-in-the-dark cockroaches would be left.


Perhaps the principal skandalon (stumbling block) is that certain people believe that they fully understand God's will for our most intimate relationships when in fact they are quite deluded.


I don't know why people, when they don't support a politician, have to get ugly and insulting about it, as this letter does. If you disagree w/their policies why can't you just say that? Human beings sure have a hateful and ugly side. Disgusting.


I think you misspoke ...didn't you mean that President Obama was a joke? You are welcome to miss this clown if you want but for the rest of us we are excited about  finally having someone with some executive experience who wants to put America first in the white house ... Thankfully the joke is almost over


Everywhere you look the house of lies is tumbling down.  Trump must be stomping around his wing, screaming at the TV, his tiny thumbs quivering over his twitter machine.  I wonder what'll spew out once he bursts a gasket?


They have to meet their quota to receive funding. The whole system needs a serious investigation.


That was in response to Rubio's comments. Rubio started this juvenile rant and I see you're continuing it....telling.


The only things “enormously destructive” and “terrifying”, as the lame duck to the south says, are the western leaders who think that they are saving the world by taxing their own citizens to death. I think we'll find out well before 2030 that the whole thing is an elaborate scam, that the CO2 reductions claimed by countries are unauditable, and everyone is cheating (except Canada, of course). Kind of like OPEC promising to cut oil production.


REI model has them building their own store that looks like their other stores. Anchorage REI is different in that they rent space.  That will end.


DP does not understand that all of the people designing, voting on and signing this Pera "bailout" are Pera MEMBERS. A colossal conflict of interest. That includes the judges who will strike down any attempt to shield taxpayers from this self-dealing and deceitful incompetence.


IRT "Lifeguards deserve full-time status, pay"
It's more the tourist and business industries that want that kind of lifeguards.  Without tourists and so much business, our beaches would be humble as of olden times.  Lifeguards benefited from their beachboy status, being at the beach, and charitable service.  So, fund a lifeguard industry by the tour and business industries.


What kind of dictionary is that.?


ZIIIIIINNNNG!


I commented on you above before reading this post, and support you where Libya, Syria and the Holocaust (or Holofraud) is concerned. I do not support your views on Verwoerd, but that is political opinion and takes nothing away from your professional ability.


Jughead was campaigning selfie style the day after dropping one of the most irresponsible budgets in a generation on Canadians.

 Although you could run cardboard cut-outs in most of these tidings without changing the outcome, it would be nice to surprise Justin with a loss in Thornhill-Markham.


No belittling on my part.  You started out claiming an income tax would destroy your business and you'd have to flee Alaska.  You constantly hammer those unfortunates without good paying jobs or perhaps any job and associate them with being lazy, low class and not deserving anything in life.

You insinuate that I am unemployed and lazy by choice although all I am is retired from the military and yes, I will need to work even in my twilight years which are upon me.  You claim your employer does not allow you to have a personal life on social media, hence you hid your true identity.  I never worried about what my employer thought about my personal views and frankly, there were many senior officials in the military who were quite bombastic about their political views.

My views are simple.  I think all jobs should have a decent starting wage and basic benefits.  I think we need to help those less fortunate than others instead of the other way around.

And God bless Bernie Sanders.


If the jesus showed up I am sure the politicians invoking his name to do the most unjesuslike things to their fellow man, will have to explain their actions. The republicans, evangelicals and democrats are defunding domestic health and social programs to fund wars of conquest, greed and genocide, in order for a few parasites in power who depend on other countries resources for profit. Their policies are completely opposite of the Jesus, and the Jesus shows he was a librul


Fake news from Curiosgeorge.

Winning by one vote means he is a winner, just the same as 10,000
No evidence has been presented anywhere that there were problems in Detroit or Flint
Blacks did not vote at all because, as they were quoted in the NYT, nobody the last year listened to us so no need to vote
What circle and what ballot?  This wasn't a high school exam.
The GOP did not really want to stop, but wanted to make sure new ballots didn't just show up.
No, this isn't Florida / Bush, in which Bush won by 576 total votes; in Michigan, Trump gained votes during the recount whereas Bush lost counts in the recount.
But, they both won, fair and square.


It leaves me in awe how some of our citizens are the most principled, fearless and  honest human beings on earth.


It's worth pointing out that the $50 to $75 billion of loss only includes the amount is covered by insurance - since the majority of homeowners do not have flood insurance the real economic loss to the state will be significantly higher.

RMS currently estimates the loss will be $70 to $90 billion.  Moody's estimates $108 billion.  And it's pretty much a given that when the dust settles the final number will be higher than either of those.


Kim Il Trudeau!


Nothing more than the Peter principle. Be wary of educators and leadership.


Harper is a smart man, by Forrest Gump standards.


Don't get an appendix attack.


Sixteen years of lost blood and youth not to mention enough billions upon billions of dollars, sure has soured Americans appetite for war. Mr. Kounalakis, please do tell exactly how many more decades do we need to stay in Afghanistan, losing our brave young soldiers and spending our country poor?


Given the extent of the territorial reach of the claim, skyofblue, I would have been astounded at any time had the Supremes ruled otherwise.

Since you're the one who made the 'surprised' claim in the first place, can you give a url to informed legal commentary saying it was a sure thing that the SCC would overrule the unanimous 4 judges of the BC Supreme Court and Court of Appeal?

I look forward to it.

EMPLOYEES: Request pay raises! If you don't get them, use your lunch hours to job hunt and go on interviews. You can serve for $12 an hour or you can serve for $16 an hour, you choose. That's right, at some places, where the owners don't drive around in flashy cars and wear Rolexes, their employees are making $16 an hour.


No, not at all.

I was told, rather unceremoniously over three years ago, that posters here prefer to be called "progressive" rather than "liberal," "left," "leftist," or any other appellation.  Apparently they think it sounds better?

And although many here continue to use dismissive references to those with more traditional opinions,  I try to accommodate.

Nope.  Find something else to criticize in my remarks.


Any doctor will write a note.


Wayne Easter, a 24 year Liberal MP from PEI, has had senior parliamentary secretary and committee roles and was in cabinet as Solicitor General in the Chretien government.

This makes him a double threat to Butts and other central Canada big city slickers (accent on slick) in the PMO who control the government agenda and messaging and try to control the MPs.

Being from PEI, he has an "annoying" tendency to be a down to earth, common sense, honest to a fault parliamentarian whom speaks his mind candidly about government gaffes and stupidities even by his own party.

Being a 24 year MP, he knows how parliament should work, how the government should interface with opposition MPs and how major changes to parliamentary rules and to tax and other fundamental policy should be developed and rolled out.

In April, he criticized the government's attempt to muzzle and marginalize the opposition.

Now he is defending small business from the new tax grab.

God bless you, Wayne Easter!


Wumpy brilliant comeback and well done!


They do not in any register illegals to vote. That is a pernicious lie and you have absolutely no info to back up. Talk about being a "low information citizen"! Look in the mirror.


Pull your little head out of your big ass areola!


I hope they find the person or persons who did this.  The monetary value alone seems to exceed the limit that`s been battered around in the House that would justify calling it felony destruction of property or something, if there is such a thing.  But I know the other cost to this family was also great.  My heart goes out to them.


If any version of stagflation returns in the next 10 years or so, the Ontario economy will utterly and completely collapse, thanks in large part to the Ontario Liberals. Because of Trudeau's unsustainable deficits, Ontario will take the Canadian economy down with it. And yet Wynne and Trudeau, the authors of the this collapse, surely out of power by then, will undoubtedly escape any prosecution for their gross negligence of the public purse. Who's really to blame. Well were a democracy, so look in the mirror.


The parent of the girl has my sympathy unless he actually killed her (which is not impossible; we don't know).  However, along with sympathy can come concern that a parent may have foolishly placed their child in a dangerous situation with the people he chose to live with.  If it turns out there was known violence, abuse, or inappropriate activity in this household that wasn't properly handled by the adult in charge (I believe a previous article alluded to the address "not being unknown to police"), then yes, scorn as well as outrage will be deserved.


Michael, automatic weapons are already banned, in 1986. No automatic weapons were used in LV. Get rid of bump stocks. Good start. Then you run up against the second amendment. Good luck overturning it. You will never get 3/4 of the states to overturn it.


always remember Justin Trudeau said Canada has no core identity


Good point Gus. As we know that no child has ever been abused by anyone in a public school.


Agree entirely.  I love Canada, and am very aware how lucky I am to have been born in Canada.  Having lived in a number of non-democratic countries, I feel the need to support and give back to the country which has provided me with such a good life and so many opportunities.  That said, I hate the mindless patriotism and hollow symbolism we seem to have inherited from our southern neighbours.  While I support the portion of the money going into necessary infrastructure, I'd rather put the money going into parties, trinkets, symbolism, flags made in China and unseemly boasting into improving healthcare or enabling more kids to participate in organized sports.  Happy whatever birthday Canada--have a great party, but everyone should pay for their own beer.


It's unfortunate but the two years of delays due to politics and the mismanagement of the project (I was one of the few who summitted written testimony against the hiring of the past HART CEO) made the overruns inevitable. On the plus side under Congresswoman Colleen Hanabusa's chairmanship the HART board is finally acting like a board.


Andrew Scheer would gain instant popularity and attention among outrged Canadians were he to make serious offfshore hunting of tax evaders a top plank for election 2019.

No PM has had the cojones to do this because a serious probe would probably shine the light on some of Canadas richest families--and yes--politicians too.


She would be better off in India,  where a bribe will go a long way to fixing bureaucratic holdups.   It would be better for us as well.


Not you, the Perpetually Whiny I_Therefore_I_am.


The six times the system found it's carefully scripted target it only did so because operators knew to the millisecond the time of the targets launch and it's very specific trajectory. Putting your faith in a heavily funded weapons system that has not been shown to be reliable in real world situations takes away from an effort to improve other, possibly more effective and more accurate defense weapons. If the need for defensive weapons is needed at all. So far the North Koreans have not been able to launch anything with a range greater than a few hundred miles but the Bush administration cast them as a grave threat that required the spending of $50 Billion of your tax dollars 12 years ago. Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld sure knew how to use fear to get access to Trillions of dollars didn't they?


Fair comment but Alberta's 'wealth' is a function of hydrocarbon deposits, not any inherent ingenuity, but a simple matter of inheritance. No different from the brown eyed sheiks of the middle east - except the cost of production is many times higher.  I'm sure you've met the folks who took over mommy or daddy's millions and considered themselves brilliant in terms of amassing wealth... and wondered why everyone else couldn't do it. Once you factor in the immense environmental damage - which by extension the rest of the country is complicit - it's not so wonderful.  Needless to say, when prices inevitably rebound, the conservatives will be back in control, and all accolades will rightfully be directed their way. Till then the province and the people have to get by - the conservatives can only thank their good fortune they're not behind the wheel now! Easy to govern from the cheap seats.


The DNC is not the US government.


Why should a team with a possible best 6-6 record go to a bowl game?  Aren't bowl games for winners of conferences or for ranked teams?


You're only partially right.

To say B is a member of set A, is not to say that All B = A, (corrected to make your intended point)

However,

When "some C" and "some D" and "some E" and "some F" (plus any other ethic group you care to list) all have members that are A, the act of singling out out B = A is indeed discriminatory.

Further, Trump initial statement did not assert "Some" (or some other indicator of a non-universal set) Mexicans are  drug dealers, but rather Mexicans are drug dealers. In colloquial English "all" is implied, but "some" must be specified. To assert that Trump did not include the "all" and therefore meant "some" is not colloquial English. And to point out that he later corrected himself by including the "some" merely highlights his racism for those who listen with psychologically tuned ears.


I strongly suspect that this is fake news.  I don't trust the "data" or the "study" one bit.  It's a human rights issue alright.  If 100% of reports are taken as well-founded then there is a 100% chance that an innocent man is being convicted.  I despair for where these activists and media are driving Liberal Democracy and rule of law.

"I want to see oil & gas companies other then the three majors make a profit from finding and selling oil? Once that happens everyone will know Alaska is open for business...."
 And that includes you Donk right?  And the leases you own far from any facilities?  They and you are telling us they can only make money in Alaska if we give our oil away tax free under SB21.  You are a piling supporting SB21. Willingly or unwillingly..


Great cohesive and cogent article Preston.

However, most readers either won't understand it or appreciate that you've succinctly identified both the problems as well as a solution.


Yep, a lot of swamp dwellers, the uninformed, neoNazis, xenophobes, bigots and deplorables voted for Trump,

A small minority of all Americans.

Many more people, who aren't in those baskets, voted against him.

Trump is an admitted sexual predator, an admitted white supremacist, a con man, a liar and a fascist buffoon.

What's to like?


The critics are saying Disney could have done better, and they have given specifics. The irony is that this corporation is trying to be more authentic, culturally sensitive and supportive of the environment  (or at least to be seen that way). So, this wonderful critique from the other corner of our great oceanic triangle should be most welcome by all concerned, including Disney. Aotearoa has much to teach us.


Yawn. I shouldnt waste bandwidth on you-possibly a techie gone wild troll. In reality, radiation emitting wireless smart meters (known as AMI advanced meter infrastructure) can be turned off remotely so those ratepayer-owners unable to pay bills can be robotically excised from the grid w/o site visit.

In addition ultimate AMI goal is to implement time of day pricing which harms low income fixed schedule workers with families the most. They are unable to adopt flexible schedules like cooking breakfast for kids after high use early morning periods. If you care about facts (wild speculation) read complaint letters sent to OPUC by Citizens Utility Board.

Wireless Smeters have not been proved to cause electricity savings. In fact, they use substantial juice and notice surge in EWEB info tech budgets.
In brief: dont opt in to a radiating emitting wireless smart meter that can cause fires, health issues while enabling hacking, cyber attacks. Faulty readings often result in huge bills.


Reason 1 would be that you are earning Canadian Tire store credits not cash.

Reason 2 would be that the cash back rewards on non Canadian Tire purchases are lag other major cards.  Even on Canadian Tire purchases in many cases the "premium" is actually equal to or only marginally better than other cards.


I'm worried about what they get to film.  Sounds like our citizen privacy could be compromised.


One of the owners of the company spews his racist beliefs, but it's the employees of the company that have to go through mandatory sensitivity training? Thats almost unbelievable, but not unexpected when the racist owners can't even understand what they've done wrong.

It sounds like the primary owner of the company is the one who needs some training, along with the co-owner Heckley who tried to minimize primary owner Brad Benson's racist comment about "no natives" by trying to explain it away as meaning they're a charter and don't fly scheduled routes. Nice try.

The racists in this country have been growing bolder lately. It's time to put them back in their place, or more preferably in a hole in the ground.


Which maybe explains why Ige does nothing about the problem until they bust up kakaako park to point of causing thousands of dollars in damage.  Then he comes in, fixes up the place and let's them back in.  No wonder the state can't pay off its debts.


We are talking about the many failed state lease sales because of new lease sale term increases up to 8,000% when oil prices dropped 70%!

CL Harris, no oil company can make a profit in AK at these prices, why tax, use the CBR!

When oil prices go back up next year then the oil producers will provide more royalty!

You are talking about " others" taking the pfd and possible Alaska state income tax! The earned credits that you seem to confused with " cash subsidies" are paid for out of the oil they produce!

The point is not one Alaskan has ever drilled and produced oil at a profit, Alaskans are priced out by the state!

Look at 2 issues;

(1.) Lease sale no one bid, why? If the state was so attractive why isn't anyone interested in bidding in Alaska's lease sales. Why do more harm?

(2.) With all these bad laws and attitudes who do you think will drill and produce oil for you!
Are you or anyone you know going to risk money drilling when only one out of twenty wells are commercial!


By nature, all life is water-characterized, 'baptized'. The significant issue of religion is: how do we understand 'salvation' in real life, and how do we come to it?
As creatures in and of Creation, the issue of 'whole-making' is about authentic relatedness in the Naturalis Sacramentum Ordinis, where regeneration takes place.
What is the origin and meaning of the word 'baptize'?


I think Chief Executive Michael Downey wanted to say "one of the most shameless athletes in the world"


The media knows how easily Trump can be baited, and they are obviously baiting him to make one of his idiotic tweets to further divert attention from the real issues.


akmk - they are subsidizing the $8 billion operating budget, the 18000 state employees and their raises and retirement


Spending the most doesn't guarantee winning, but spending a lot certainly has an influence.  What gets me is that many of these people get in more by reputation and not achievement, policy, and plan.  We can thank the voters for letting that happen.


What you seem to be overlooking here is that the LEGAL immigrants are being detained.


If laws were broken by Bush and the RNC is should have been investigated.  Why wasn't it?  Political corruption in D.C.  The elite politicians will not investigate each other no matter the party.  Obama was not going to investigate Bush because then Obama would be investigated for all his incompetence/corruption after he left office.  That's why this Clinton stuff has been amazing.  The lack of desire for the truth is amazing by most D's and R's.  The ones who are trying are labeled as witch hunters.  Comey concludes his first investigation and he is praised by Clinton supporters and bashed by many on the right.  He reopens the case and all of sudden he is bashed as evil by the Clinton supporters and praised by the right.  Two wrongs don't make a right and in Clinton's case, there are so many wrongs it is hard to even keep up.  Time to end the death grip on D.C. by ingrained politicians and give another ego maniac from the private sector a chance.


I say good riddance maybe then all those who are system suckers will pack up and take their crime with them.

Question: what is a dentist doing at "an emergency clinic?"  What's the name of the clinic, again?.....I love made-up anecdotes as much as the next guy.  It should also be noted that you enjoyed that $20 "experience" without having to pay the exorbitant taxes that actual UK citizens have to to enjoy the same experience.  If every case was just as yours, their entire system would undoubtedly collapse.


Thanks for this.

Really important to challenge accepted myths.


You're showing some very weak reasoning skills, AKJimBob.  If the "local tribe wiped out all the salmon," then why are salmon still spawning and rearing in the river below the dam?

That statement belies a lack of understanding of what science is. Science is a rational, self critical, universally applicable and constantly refined and verified process that is all.

People have taken results/ conclusions and twisted them to their perverted ends, but it is not 'science' that has been misused. It is Charlatans and snake oil peddlers that have misused data and preyed upon humanity's tendency to be capricious and credulous....


Gary don't be a white devil, nobody said anything about laughing and singing, honoring the old ways of slavery and by no means was I trivializing what slaves went through. Of course you'd let your vehicle run out of gas, your more than likely an uppity white male who would not be bothered by a truck full of red necks  bearing Confederate flags while walking down the road alone in the middle of the night.


Markets are booming!  Well done Mr. Trump!


Regressive Liberalism. Even worse it is more Identity Politics which we have seen destroy this county already.

Special rights for everyone or special rights for NO ONE. Take your pick.

|
I say no special rights or laws for anyone.
|
Silencing freedom of speech is against the Constitution. The rights of Canadians should be unalienable.
|
 There should be no discussion, it is a waste of time. They are playing identity politics and it hurts us all.
|
Freedom of speech is why Canada and the west are great, it part of our success. So these outside groups are destroying our way of life and freedom already.


Guess what? The average American will still vote for the one with the neato commercials, or worse yet, vote against the worst of two perceived evils.

The best way to limit the damage by corrupt politicians is to limit the power of all politicians.

Christy is one of the more annoying politicians due to her attention seeking tendencies and penchant for false bravado.

Being extroverted, perma-smile, and somewhat attractive is a quality of a media personality - most modern politicians are of that type.

The NDP hasn't dangled any carrot that is juicy enough.

The only carrot juicy enough is the property market.


Well it would seem Cherrault has bullied, postured and refuse to hear what all voters want. That means Democrats, independents and undeclared. Not just Republicans because you have more. You have made some major malfunctions and now you can wait. No oil tax credits, no LIO, no mega projects. Keep yours sticky fingers out of fund. Tighten up your oversized pants and downsize your obese OCD spending to curry favor with people who plays you for the fool you have become. Rein in your threats of retaliation because voters can enact revenge for threats to fund and Alaska we love.


Trump will probably win Iowa and Ohio and lose Nevada.

Are you a Guinness man? Cheers!


I'm sure this isn't intended to be all of the money winning business plans will need. It's more of a motivational tool, and it can help foster ideas that may take years to actually develop.
It's like the x-prize. It wasn't a very big prize but it generated millions in investments and excitement to try to win it. Things like this happen frequently, with positive results whose value far surpasses the prize money.


Tragic.  I dearly hope the victims make it and recover fully.

Sadly (but predictably), we already see finger pointing and overt politicization of this tragedy.  The demonization of people with different backgrounds, religions, political or social views is disgusting and as we can see, can have grave consequences.  We constantly see this from both liberals and conservatives, including from their so-called leaders: Trump calling the press "the enemy"; Hillary calling Trump supporters "deplorables".  Sickening.  Many politicians as well as liberal and conservative media outlets have been whipping people into a frothing frenzy for decades now. The rhetoric keeps getting fouler and is driving crazies out of their hidey-holes.

We need to stop this madness.  Get out of your political echo-chambers, stop patronizing the radio talk-shows, political blogs and pseudo news sites.  Go talk to someone on the other side of the aisle.

I guarantee you have more in common than you think.


The risk of harm to the children on the city bus is much less than the risk of harm to children in their parents' cars. Crashes of transit buses causing injury are vanishingly rare. Crashes of private cars causing injury are regrettably common. The crash risk FAR outweighs the "weirdo" risk.


You and all the critics who want an forensic audit want it so that you can prove all ya'll's yet-to-be-proven theory that "someone", be it the Mayor, City Councilmembers or even supportive legislators, is at criminal fault.

Perhaps if you would state clearly what you want this forensic audit to discover, perhaps maybe you can persuade people like me that it is a good idea. Otherwise, what the Council member says here actually does make sense.


The left wing path of denial, much like "right sizing " government is for the right. No Joanna, low oil prices are the problem and as Mr. Cole points out this is a situation that will not change for the foreseeable future. Hiding behind tortured "facts" does not change the reality that the Governor's PFD restructuring plan as well as an income or sakes tax will be necessary to see our way to a sustainable fiscal future.


And most of those who approved would claim to be Catholics!


Thank God for the courts!  At least one of three branches of government respects and upholds the constitution.....


Maybe we can re-start this conversation with the source of who are we? Lets begin with being human, not Haoles or Hawaiians. We go nowhere with this because its full of contradictions and belief systems. A conceptual approach is  a win/lose game and we can't find balance. Its becomes just another offering on the menu. lets be real and find a way to talk about being human beings, even though it looks impossible but lets give it a try.


I don't notice a difference - then again I'm not looking to find one either, which is why I doubt your anecdotal evidence (which has little to do with saving money BTW).


The only ads that I saw were signs and car backs.
None were voucher oriented.

And if u talked to anybody about this, did you talk about vouchers, or about how the district/schools were doing, combined with the old board's criminal actions?


Sadly, Trump, et al, will be the last one(s) on the planet to figure that out.

How did/do you punish your child(ren)?


With all respect, I  must have missed the information about more apartments 'means cheaper rent for everybody"  I love Jimmy Maks I wish them the best in their new location.


a quick check of  records show no one named zenger who lives here. therefore , you do not qualify to comment on Alaskan issues and are a total fraud. what a fkn loser.


This question could be better worded. Since the right to protest is protected by the 1st Amendment,  the "consequences" would have to come from the private employers. Should the NFL or team owners have sanctions for failure to stand during the playing of the National Anthem? As employers, the NFL and team owners could fire players for failing to follow rules (if they're in place) such as standing for the National Anthem. There could also be loopholes on religious, moral, or contractual grounds. In short, consequences, if any, are in the hands of the organizations. Perhaps a better wording would be: Should we, the public, pressure the NFL and team owners to require all players and staff to stand during the playing of our National Anthem? If yes, then should those who fail to abide be fired? The public could apply pressure in different ways, e.g., boycotting games (live and broadcast), boycotting sponsors of games, public demonstrations, op-eds.


the only millennials who benefit from "tax reform" are the multi-millionaires who'll inherit from daddy without the estate tax


It's estimated (order of magnitude) at about 1/1000, or so. That's hardly "statistically irrelevant" - it means, for example,  that you'd expect a few dozen such individuals to pass through a busy airport like Pearson every day. And yes, not trampling on their rights means having an option like "X" so they're not pigeonholed into non-representative categories.

Biological sex - meaning genitals at birth - doesn't necesssarily seem a useful identifying feature. Perhaps it was a hundred years ago,  but ipso-facto from 1880, does not mean valid today.


You misunderstood. Phil 2:5-8 explicitly states Jesus "did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped." Adam was disobedient because he aspired to be godlike; unlike Adam, Jesus was obedient "unto death, even death on a cross." This is the Pauline theology of the First and Second Adam, which St. Paul appears to have inherited from his predecessors in the Jesus movement.

The issue here isn't what you or I or the Church in the fourth century thought about Jesus, or even what Jesus himself thought about his identity. It concerns what the earliest Christians thought about Jesus.

Your last paragraph is way off the mark. Many, probably a plurality of, New Testament scholars are also Christians.


So what you are saying is that Trump should be able to "bomb the Hell out of them" using nuclear weapons as a first strike weapon against anybody  he "thinks" might be an enemy?
You do know that war is reality and not some video game for chicken hawks.


That's not what that statute means. It doesn't allow you to use deadly force in defense of property just because there's a third person in the car. It was intended as an anti-carjacking statute to make it clear you could shoot a car thief to prevent -someone under your protection- from being taken along with the car. In essence it made carjacking an occupied vehicle explicitly kidnapping to clearly extend the existing right to defend third parties to that situation.

It's a result of the media-generated carjacking panic of several years ago fueled by a few high-profile incidents and breathless reporting by idiot, headline-seeking "journalists." A bunch of states passed them.


Debra the purpose of these discussions is not to devolve into "flaming" which is not allowed.


Kodiaks are genetically close to polar bears, but diversified many thousands of years ago. I can't imagine that polar bears, the product of an evolutionary process some 400,000 years ago, might be driven into extinction in remote places such as Svalbard. The brown bear population in northern Norway has been drastically reduced by hunting in the last 150 years, and they don't have the capacity to swim any distance, certainly not 500 miles. I doubt that polar bears would disappear via hybridization in Greenland, as well, since brown bears couldn't cross the straits to get there.  The same would be true for places such as Wrangell Island, north of Siberia. The conclusions of this article are very unconvincing.

A late friend shot a polar bear near his home in Atqasuk, 20 years ago, and that's 50 miles south of the Chukchi sea.


They are pathetic representaties for Hawaii.  Knee-jerking is what we have come to expect from our Senators and Representatives.  They do not need to think for themselves, just follow their party leaders.


the left wing like you are pathetic.. tell us how this list is not on notleys plate bud?. under torys for 4 decades we had a booming economy and jobs, not so now under the ndp!,,,

here for you to show us all how the ndp are not responsible!!

Raised business taxes by 20%, hurts the economy and jobs!
Introduced large personal income tax increases, hurts the economy and jobs!
Increasing gas and carbon taxes by $10 billion over the ext five years.
Introduced radical reforms to the province’s electricity sector – changes which some experts have suggested could lead to a tripling of rates.
Recklessly commitment to raise the minimum wage from $10.20 to $15.00 by 2018. A 47% increase to labour costs in just four years in the middle of a recession

all owned by the NDP, no one else bud

Living with the fact that I pay these goons to beat up or kill people I don't like, or collect revenue for the state(except that they are too expensive) but I don't really want to kiss their behinds all the time or genuflect to them as they pass by. I think their main problem is that their traditional enemies are fading into the background and the middle class white folks they could once count on might shoot them in the face on a traffic stop. Don't like it? Get another job.


Denver Post shows it's true colors in advocating for continued fossil fuel extraction regardless of its environmental and public health / safety impacts.  Always the voice of the moneyed few, right DP?


The OntariOWE liberals are only interested in getting re-elected, they do not have any inkling on the costs put on the common man woman or child and do not care about small business.  All they care about is to spend another day in office regardless of their disastrous policies.


LOL @ arrest and prosecution. Arrest, prosecute, back on the streets inside of half a day out stealing more bikes, arrest, prosecution, out on the streets in less than half a day to steal more bikes, arrest, prosecution....Let's break the cycle of crime: arrest, prosecution, cut off one finger. Arrest, prosecution, lose the hand.


Sure just like the last two elections right? I'm not buying your boo hoo story Bob and neither are millions of Americans that are sickened, without violence mind you, by the complete stupidity we are currently living with in the house on the hill.
The bottom line is you liberals lost and now you're whining like a bunch of spoiled rotten little brats.

Cheers Bob!


I would indeed say that everyone who practices religion is a complete nutter.

Hard to believe that the failure to meet the deadline twice was a misunderstanding. More likely Da Gov exercised a pocket veto to slap some people around. The real story is why did Da Gov decide to alienate more people when an election is looming. Bottom line only Da Gove could upset the environmentalists and fishermen at the same time with one action. What a man!


The survey must be done in Brampton, Toronto etc. Has this author been at hospital ER, welfare offices and food bank lately. I doubt it. It 's just Liberal facts.


So Trump doesn't go bat shit crazy one time giving a speech prepared for him and people are falling all over themselves over his "measured tone."  Not just low, but non-existent bar. Sad.


I should have finished with " ...to use lethal force, even in very questionable circumstances, and not be held accountable."


It is unlikely that Ms. Stock will win this go around due to Lisa M's name recognition, war chest and the fact that she has an R next to her name.   But I hope Stock will continue to stay in the political game -- Alaska needs her and people like her, instead of the same old, rigid Republican'ts voters have opted for for far too long.


Personally, I am edified by President Trump's executive order.  As President, Mr. Trump's primary and most important duty is to protect the citizens of this nation.  Imagine, if a refugee allowed in committed an act of terror costing American lives - the outrage at Mr. Trump for his "failure to protect the homeland" would be virulent and immediate!

And, all the soft-hearted folks out there, I wonder if they leave their front doors wide open 24/7, allowing anyone who claims to be in need to wander in, to help themselves to anything in their homes, eat their food, sleep in their beds, play with their kids - all without asking any questions about those folks.  I wonder if, after asking those questions and agreeing to allow Person X into their home, they see a news report of an alleged murderer who fits Person X's description (though there is no absolute proof that Person X is indeed the murderer), would they still let him in or perhaps vet him further?


Of course you pay more than the asking amount when you buy stuff, and you tell your employer you'll work for less than your peers, don't you?  And I see you have no answer to who is going to create employment if not business- ?


It's been a long time since Bill was involved in applied science (aka engineering) at Boeing, where one's ideas are tested against objective reality on a near-daily basis, as opposed to spouting them to a camera unchallenged.

Bill's biggest problem, is that he has forgotten that consensus and computer modeling is not conclusive proof ... but he remembers who signs his checks.

I could join the Climate Change Cult processional, too ... and it might even lead to greater demand for my services, as an EE specializing in applying power conversion/storage technologies, for a while. But sooner or later, the devils in the details insert themselves.


If I read correctly - the tests were initiated by the Councillors and not DA leadership.  Still this will be used by the ANC for politically expedient means as is shown by Zizi Kodwa's comment.  He should keep his mouth shut given the cesspool of politicians in his party.  And I do not think this approach of lie detector tests is a good option - there must surely be a more sensible way of dealing with this issue.


Why are you still obsessed with Hillary?  This story has nothing to with her and vice-versa.
