Tickets for next year's event on sale at buffaloworldjuniors.com

Check it out.  3 packages available.  Outdoor game between Can/U.S. included.  Silver package around $1300/seat.  Doesn't say on the website, but assuming that's U.S., naturally.  So add on another about 40% exchange.  2 tickets for most of the games, around $3500, plus fees, taxes.

Factor in bridge congestion--not unusual for it to take 2/3 hours to clear customs with that much traffic--and gouging by parking lots--$100 fee was common--and you get the picture.

Buffalo had the tourney just 5 years ago, so the been there, done that crowd, they've already been there and done that, they're not going again.


When's the last time China won a naval battle?


Do you not care about the evil perpetrated on the Serbians by the Clintons?


of course, you mean by a minority of American voters and a majority of electoral college voters.


Oddly enough Freidman seems to have forgotten the last mass murderers.  The ones with Pakistani connections who killed so many in San Bernadino, California in 2015 less than two years ago.

"14 people were killed and 22 others were seriously injured in an attack consisting of a mass shooting and an attempted bombing."  "expressing a commitment to jihadism and martyrdom in private messages"

The reason that one didn't result in what he wants done today is because California already had all the gun laws allowed under the 2nd Amendment and-it-did-not-prevent-the-massacre!


If you follow the British press and comments therein, it's quite realistic to believe that this situation will result in a backlash against immigrants and Council housing tenants in Britain.  Assistance to the survivors of Grenfell Tower is already causing victims of other misfortunes and disasters to complain that they received far less help, while accommodating the survivors puts them in conflict with those on existing waiting lists. Now the sudden eviction of thousands for weeks or months is causing considerable stress, for which Labour councils will get the blame (and especially the unreconstructed Blairite leader of the Camden council). The evictions in my opinion were unnecessary, since guards could have been hired, and adequate fire extinguishers and lighting distributed, along with organised fire drills, while repairs were undertaken.


Given your propensity for making false statements (e.g., 50% of the people don't pay any taxes), forgive me if I don't place much credence in this one:
"I assure you I pay taxes far in excess of any benefit that I derive from my use of [freeways]."


The boys made a mistake.  I don't see the point in punishing them beyond what the law has handed out.  The Albatross is not an endangered species.  I've worked on Midway Island and the island was overrun albatross hatchlings, i.e gooney birds.  I watched Tiger sharks feasting on the birds within the lagoon.  No one was going after the tiger sharks.


Mostly a useless device that tracks all sorts of body responses, often inaccurately, that has the potential to create hypochondriacs when they see natural variations in blood pressure, heart rate, sleep quality etc. that are perfectly normal.

There is an argument for using a simple heart rate monitor with a chest band, which is more accurate, and may be worthwhile for those who want to ensure that their heart is in the appropriate training rate or for those who have a condition that might be worsened if they overstress themselves.  Even then, a manual pulse reading at the wrist, although less convenient, would suffice.


So glad she lost.


And Bill O'Reilly speaks the Republic party's and NRA leadership's line: gun deaths are "the price of freedom". How much "freedom" do the innocent victims have in their graves? And are their family members "liberated" from spending their lives with those they love?


Harper killed the IFT deal on the recommendation from a national security review - conducted by professionals, not politicians. Trudeau had other ideas.


"When did we start fearing our neighbor more than we love our neighbor?"

It did not happen overnight. It slowly crept up on us due to what has been perceived as an an ideology of right without responsibilities.

By now there have been generations growing up fully focused on rights without an equal appreciation for responsibilities. The results are: a social discourse based on adversarial approach, loss of trust, sense of voicelessness and marginalisation by some.

The inevitable backlash against this by those whose demands are systematically dismissed or suppressed includes: a charge of "sense of entitlement," ideological oppression (often referred to as political correctness).

When demands (of rights) dominate human relationships, people inevitably will learn to distrust and fear one another.


The issue is that global warming is being used as an excuse for wealth transfer to corporations. First, the government is giving carbon allocations to business. You the citizen, do not receive any allocations but are for required to pay for them. Secondly the initial allocations are arbitrary and not validation is done. So a company can sandbag asking for an initial high allocation which they can later sell. Thus you as an individual are essentially transferring your wealth to corporations. Thirdly the government has made it so only it can issue carbon credits kind of like currency. So soon all the carbon currency will be owned by industries. This is a great way to transfer wealth when a currency crisis is developed. The alternative currency with be carbon credits. The fraud is committed because the issuance of the allocation is only to corporations so as to enslave the individual citizen.


Hmmm, food for thought.
I'd always assumed donald's species reproduced asexually.


yes Khadr has realized the "Canadian dream"

I never litter a cigarette butt anywhere! They are not biodegradable! Every single one finds a trash can. People who litter cigarette butts are not a class of just smokers. They are a class of litter bugs that happen to include some smokers.


And we don't have a Central Planning Committee to re-distribute income and production using 5-year plans.

Sad.

"The USSR system of state ownership of the means of production, collective farming, industrial manufacturing and centralized administrative planning. The economy was characterized by state control of investment, public ownership of industrial assets, macroeconomic stability, negligible unemployment and high job security."


A politician with principles. What a novel idea.


That a high school kid and hockey captain from Soldotna has made what the school said were hateful comments about Alaska Natives and gays on his Twitter account assures us that racism and bigotry remains one of Alaska’s hot button issues. The only thing is no one is paying attention to the putrid stink of the access that is still here.

This kind of hate, especially against Alaska Natives, the largest private landowners in the state and one of the state’s most active and generous economic powers, has been with us for generations. And once again, I call on the Alaska Federation of Natives to exclude Anchorage and the Southcentral region from its convention schedule until such time that we feel welcome on our own homeland.

I'm posting here because the ADN omitted the comments section from this story, and owes us an explanation why it does so whenever a news item about Alaska Natives graces its pages. I trust it is because hundreds of the comments would echo the high kid's hatred.


"Show me historically in the US when you should have been worried about anything but white racism"... challenge accepted. I offer the last eight years. I have watched the swelling racism backed by government tolerance if not outright support echoed in the populace I work with. It's been very disconcerting to observe.


If his own language isn't English, isn't it ironic he's kvetching about immigration? LOL

Actually Nicholas it's not silly or untrue and if you don't believe me go to Walmart and ask them.  There's a reason someone now has to stay in the gun department full time in eagle river Walmart .  My ex husband works loss prevention.  But you keep telling yourself it's silly and untrue darling.  Anyone who wants facts can go ask the locals.


Once again, WaPo uses its sources.

It doesn't use:
Actual memos from the FBI
Dossiers Putin is going to provide congress

Or any evidence rather than its analysis on the Trump-Comey handshake hug and a conversation that is hearsay at its best.

Hopefully WaPo blows a massive hole in Bezos' fortune, for becoming rich and spreading disinformation he deserves no less.


It should be important to you.


bootness,  Who in these posts do you think are "anti-intellectual"?  Please, point them out.  Is there a study/research that easily identifies the anti-intellectual from posted words that you are privy to?  If so, please share with all.  That would also be fascinating and interesting.


Why is this a problem?
It will take care of itself if we just leave it alone. By all means, put more money into rehab for those who want to quit- but there seems to be very little point in enabling people to take street narcotics.


So we need to quit talking about the Christian right? Or Hindu extremists? When I'm told to quit calling a spade a spade, forgive me if I get suspicious.

I agree with shannonhall. if you want to eliminate the "uncertainty" and liability with all the unused points  sitting on your balance sheet, then write a cheque for the points.

Remember, they are called LOYALTY points, if they expire so does my loyalty.


Did you even bother to read the links I provided?  Or do you have so little regard for what was a serious post with sources to explain my position & describe national news you have missed, you just call me a troll?

You seem convinced because your experience at the Denver VA was stellar, everything is just wonderful throughout the system.  You spend your post arguing semantics, & don't admit there are problems, well documented problems with the VA.  THAT's the "other reason want to bad mouth the VA" - because thousands of veterans have DIED waiting on a poorly run system to take care of their needs, while the people running those systems & hiding wait lists got performance bonuses.  You don't see anything wrong with that? You don't see any reason why someone would "bad mouth the VA"?

You are claiming the VA is wonderful, while shrugging that the system has incredible waste.  I thought you believe the VA is a great example of government run healthcare.


The assembly members understand on which side of the bread one finds the butter.

That would depend on the type of firearm.  There are many different kinds of firearms designed for many different purposes.  You should check out this site called GOOGLE.  It has a vast amount of information and can help answer your questions.`


True, but to a lesser extent and more of a challenge to do during in-person voting...


I don't know how you define "GOOD GUY," but an attempted murderer doesn't fit my - and probably most people's - definition of a good guy.


"...the Orthodox Church has no official catechism--not because nobody bothered putting it together but because we don't believe the truth, which continues to be revealed, can be reduced to a systematic formula."

And, "...one Roman Catholic pope's decision to usurp the conscience of the Church by shutting down all discussion of women priests?  In the Orthodox Church you can talk about such things freely..."

Seems there is a thing or two the Roman Catholic Church could learn from the Orthodox Churches.  Of course many Roman Catholics don't go along with the idea of the perfection of current dogma and don't shut down their conscience on the whim of a pope....  I think many Orthodox ideas are practiced in the Roman Catholic Church even if the officials of that church pretend otherwise.

Thanks, Sarasi1, for helping us understand some fundamental differences between Orthodox and Roman Catholic beliefs, which is really food for thought....


We've lived in Alaska for 28 years, I was self employed and had no insurance for half that time. Since we were getting older, we decided that getting health insurance was a must. As we neared retirement, we both developed medical problems, the cost increased to tens of thousands of dollars each year.
When we retired we moved to Canada since we hold duel citizenship, we were able to get the Canadian universal health insurance. Since we are seniors it also includes prescriptions at $2 per script. Access to Doctors and hospitals is very good never had to wait for treatment.
We miss Alaska and all are friends but were forced to leave because of the cost of health care.

Do you think the KKK represents the average Trump voter?


There is no voter suppression issue.  People who are registered to vote and have valid identification can vote.

Just like if you go to the bank with a valid check and identification, you can cash it.


The negative factor was a direct result of Amendment 23.  It wasn't collusion between Democrats and Republicans.  The budget had fully crashed and legislators, handed the mess that is Amendment 23, had to make it work.  There was no funding for Amendment 23 due to the economic downturn and it never should have been an Amendment to the Constitution in the first place.  Building in automatic increases into a budget as an Amendment to the State Constitution?  It's ridiculous public policy.  A good lawmaker would have known this and could have foreseen the problem this made.  It's reflective of poor decision making, like announcing your candidacy live via social media while driving.  Kennedy is way too partisan for this office and wouldn't be a good fit.    Brauchler's not great either, he's  self-promoter.  Really none of these people have very good resumes.


"Women included."

Exactly. So why a separate column just about women?


Your pathetic with the garbage spewing out of your mouth. What is your solution?


Oh dear!

Don't forget gluten, trans fats, sodium and calories per serving.


Did your God also choose the leaders of the churches and countries implicit in the previous century of various abuses such as ethnic "cleansing" and child molestation, and if so, should the people nevertheless  honor and submit to them while politely insisting on a change? By your argument, if a country's leader "wins" the election, are the people thence forth obligated to be eternally subservient regardless of his actions? How do you decide?
Even a cursory search of your clearly educated memory should serve to provide examples of leaders of various countries (and religions) for each and every decade of the last 100 years whose authority should have been RIGHTEOUSLY challenged but wasn't sufficiently.
Please. No really - please. Access your conviction about the goodness and courage shown by whomever you've identified as your personal savior and ACT on it. Otherwise, you just might be shown by your words to be yet another monster's apologist, and thereby complicit in its pillaging.


Remember Super Bowl LI, Houston TX, Feb. 5, 2017? President Bush performed the coin toss. The referee addressed him as ... "President Bush". Not "Former president". President.

Video evidence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax5n_GsewIs#t=49

I don't recall any particular outrage at the time over the referee's form of address. I guess the Washington Examiner only sticks up for correctness when it comes to Democratic presidents.

I spoke with a homeless lady (about 35 years old, reasonable, hapa, homeless for about 5 years)  on Sunday at the car wash on Beretania and Keeaumoku. I asked how the sweeps are affecting her, and she said that she just does not have much stuff anymore. She said the IHS shelters are full of bed bugs, most people she knows use them only as a last resort because they are so gross. I said that I disagree with the sweeps, and wondered what she wishes the City would invest in to actually help people like her. She praised the efforts to get people into homes. But added that "people like me" - who have extremely bad credit - will never get approved for rentals, and never get hired for job - after years of trying, she felt there is little point in trying. So two things occur to me: 1. Why does IHS have a near-monopoly on homeless services in Honolulu? Their "make people bottom out" philosophy is so harsh and judgey. 2. What can we do to help people in poverty (re)build their financial lives?


I don't share your altruistic view of Harper's motives but do think the First Nations Financial Transparency Act was a step in the right direction. One of JT's first acts was to dispense with the legislation and replace it with more of the same approach that has consistently failed. This latest shuffle is just moving the deck chairs on the Titanic. Gesture politics trump results for our PM.

The FNFTA requires that 581 First Nations, defined as an Indian band under the Indian Act, make their audited consolidated financial statements and a Schedule of Remuneration and Expenses of chief and council available to their members as well as publish it on a website. These financial documents include:

- audited consolidated financial statements
- the Schedule of Remuneration and Expenses
- the auditor's written report respecting the consolidated financial statements
- the auditor's report or the review engagement report, as the case may be, respecting the Schedule of Remuneration and Expenses


Layla: I think that you are looking at this backwards.  The question is not "how many Muslims are not affected by this?".  The question is "how many non-Muslims are affected by this?".  Since the answer to the second question is almost certainly none, we can conclude that this law targets Muslims wearing face-covering attire.


What types of crimes have you been involved in that have so colored your view of LEOs?


Relations with all major countries do matter and I care because it is not appropriate for a senior minister to allow her personal history and beliefs to interfere with her job. Why would you comment that I am somehow related to Putin?


So you hate people who work hard, are above the poverty line and get health insurance through their employer!!!??!!

(Couldn't help it....imagining how would Hobson post on he other side)


Keep that Pogey train a'running!


Both Rep. Young and Sen. Dan replied  to my concerns to the Republican Plan saying they were voting for it because doing so was part of their campaign platform.  Let's not forget that Trump said he had a "Beautiful plan" that would cover everybody, cost less, and provide more medical coverage.  Looks like Don, Dan, and Donny care less about the people who would be hurt then their personal image of appearing to get something done.   Sad.


"Vote Green" is the BC Liberal rallying cry designed to split the left, but then you already knew that, didn't you?

The only choice to  remove Christy and her elitist support of foreign corporations from BC is to vote NDP, who have consistently economically outperformed the BC Liberals.  Here's a link to a UBC Saunders School of Business report that supports the NDP over the BC Liberal;

Well then if things are as you say, doctors have no problem, right? If there's no financial advantage to having the partnership then why bother? They simply dissolve their partnerships and get the small business tax rate, which is what they want.

Whatever the reasons Okimoto is choosing to speak up now remains to be seen. The good thing is, it's now on public record. IF he has been involved in this mess then let the "record reflect" that he opposes a payout! Sorry, Mr. Okimoto, too little, too late. But thanks for your input!


You'll believe what you want to believe.

How do you "ban" (from what?) a hate group anyways?


Bloomberg:  "Finally, a Poll Trump Will Like: Clinton Even More Unpopular"

"For a president with historically low poll numbers, Donald Trump can at least find solace in this: Hillary Clinton is doing worse.

Trump’s 2016 Democratic rival is viewed favorably by just 39 percent of Americans in the latest Bloomberg National Poll, two points lower than the president. It’s the second-lowest score for Clinton since the poll started tracking her in September 2009."

"More than a fifth of Clinton voters say they have an unfavorable view of her."

"It’s not a pox on the Democratic house because numbers for other Democrats are good."

Simple. Do you want the East coast and LA to elect the president for the rest of all time? Neither does anyone else. Hence, the electoral college.

This is great!


Public servants need to be QUALIFIED FIRST and language they speak doesn't matter. We need to fire at least 30% of so called "public servants" and get others to become more productive. Don't waste our/taxpayers money on training them to speak "both official languages" - get speaking robots instead that can speak any language  we like, be polite and service us. Right now we are servants of our "public servants" - pay them, train them, give them bonuses, provide them pensions etc while getting ZERO in return.


Rocky, I think NCR has to look long and hard at its cadre of writers and decide if it wants to be known for off-the-cuff opinion pieces or well-thought-out essays. There are people out there -- Joan Chittister comes to mind, but I'm sure there are many others -- who can analyze an issue without making the essay all about their own views.
On that point, I was pleased to see the essay by Sr. Ilia today, although I would have liked an opportunity to comment on her substantive piece. I still don't understand why Global Sisters Report has to be treated separately.


When I had to supervise women (not often in my portion of the US Army), I brought the few I had in and told them that:

1)  Under current law I had no idea what constituted 'sexual harassment'--even with my prior legal background.

2) That if they 'felt' they had been sexually harassed in any way, they would immediately report it to me and I would deal with it.

I never received a single report in a basically male battalion where one of the women involved actually had made it to the finals of her State's Beauty Pageant.

I mean, there were often dozens of young men hanging about the females fluffing their plumage and generally doing what 20-year old males do around females;  but never a single complaint.

Of course, what I told the male troops in that same battalion was about doing my very best to turn them into penniless eunuchs if I did receive such a report, so that may have had some impact on the results!

Man, was I glad to get a new assignment!


I see that "alleged" is capitalized, now that SNAP is in the cross-hairs.

The dossier implicates Russia. It was also used to influence the presidential election. Determining the source of funding is crucial to a thorough investigation and to national security. Hold GPS in contempt until they reveal the source. This was not a journalist so he can't hide behind the 1A

Did Netanyahu really think there would be no consequences for his partisan address to Congress and outrageous meddling in US politics? He brought this on himself.


I find it hard to believe the US negotiators are disappointed. What were they thinking when they tabled the US position? It is so one sided even they can see it.

They would have known that Mexico and Canada would both say no on all the motherhood issues.

So what is there to be disappointed about? Were they expecting the tooth fairy to make things right? Or was this part of a plan?

This may be a set up to allow RC to pull the plug on NAFTA before the end of negotiations. He simply says Mexico and Canada are not being reasonable (his definition of reasonable) and there is no point beating his head against a brick wall.

Or maybe the US government is in disarray and has no vision for the negotiations, no true objective, no idea what it wants and cannot make up its mind.


All sorts of cruelty these days.


No I would not apologize and neither should have the Canadian government.  He should be seeking an apology from his own family for having put him into such a situation in the first place.  Desperately hope we don't see a picture of him driving down the street in a new Porsche and rubbing all Canadians noses in it or worse yet the money "mysteriously" being transferred overseas to fund some terrorist cell.  Hopefully now that the money has been paid it is put to some good use where he proves he truly wants to live by Canadian values and beliefs.


Its funny that Americans have seemed to forget that during that time that many of them remember as being one when America truly was great, that is, the 1950s and 60s; the marginal US tax rate was 90% dropping to 50% by 1982. It was during this period of time that the US, for better or worse, was able to finance their part of the Cold War (for example, developing and producing new fighter aircraft on a nearly yearly basis).  Programs that actually benefited their population, such as expanded Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, were created and funded.  They even managed to build a national highway system (total cost around $500B).

So how does Trump, or any of the other national politicians, think that they can come anywhere close to making "America Great Again", when they have already reduced taxes to the point that they can't adequately fund their global conquest efforts let alone actually repair a bridge somewhere in the actual US or fund "Meals on Wheels"?


Not "nobody" talking about it.  But a fraction of what it is now.  Because as usual, the mainstream media (on average) is mostly biased to the left so they're FAR more interested in casting R's in a negative light than they are D's.  That's just their standard M.O.


Shhh, she's resting. Those anti-seizure meds really take it out of ya.

Er, unless you meant her hit men.


So says the typical dumbocrat in the See How Stupid I Am Administration, brought to you by the most stupid electorate in the history of the Unites States, Trump Voters.

You can't fix stupid. We'll all just have to wait until they stupid themselves to death.


Another good question. The Church's answer is that everything must be done to save BOTH lives. That is not quite satisfying; it seems that sometimes saving one means the death of the other. If that were to occur, then the choice is forced, involuntary.  Given the forced choice, it is more reasonable to preserve the life of the mother.  She is more fully "actualized," so to speak; more a person.  Which is not to say a fetus is not a person; only that a mother is more so.  Again, given the forced choice, an involuntary choice, I don't see how it could be otherwise.  This is a situation of "double effect."

It's like the hypothetical where you're out in the freezing ocean after the holing of Titanic. You have a life-vest that can support two people. A mother is 100 yards away, and you can make it in time to save her if you start paddling NOW. 100 yards away in the opposite direction is a toddler. Who do you swim toward? This is an analogous situation.


Nowall we need is term limits for Comgress itself!


Fruit trees actually lower crime and improve property values.  One tree will produce over $1000 a year in fruit.  Planting edible bushes and trees in the area would be an excellent cleanup project, and it will help people get healthy.


Why would even a tax exemption be at risk?  If the 1st amendment isn't threatened...then why is there no free speech granted religious leaders during their services?  Where is the list of exempted people and places vis a vis the 1st amendment?  I assume you believe it is OK to limit free speech to "free speech zones"?????

Marvin, its all about the narrative and the agenda.  Its not about the kids or more would be done to encourage choice and competition in all school districts, nation-wide.  More would be done to quit teaching to the achievement tests.  More would be done to move away from common core and into core knowledge.  If you want to know what works, go to the public school called Lincoln Academy, a very good charter school in Arvada.  If you like the status quo, keep up the narrative that Betsy DeVos is the problem.


‘....Oh yes, that's right - for Conservatives the U.N. is a useless money sucking entity...’

Actually, it is the same for everyone

That some people recognize it is what makes the difference..


Bradleys are pretty good, (I have 2) but they do have a temp swing that can be 30 degrees or more, so cook times are hard to predict. A PID controller reduce that. Key to performance is making sure there is enough air flow between the racks. A couple of bi briskets can "clog" it up and cook much faster than the stuff above. As for winter time use, they have more insulation than a Trager and you can always wrap them.


Yeah, making someone's kids cry down in the South by being a jackass is a pretty good way to escalate things to fisticuffs.


The MOB might become self-satire....unintentionally of course.


You could have just said, "there is no honesty or integrity in government" and been equally accurate. The evidence is obvious and a matter of historical record.

Anyone who has been watching developments in Australia, Russia and Qatar's LNG sectors - not to mention our neighbours to the south wh have opened terminals - saw this train wreck coming a mile away. The only way it might have made sense was as a hedge against events such as the sanctions that have befallen Qatar or a Russian implosion. For that to happen you need certainty on the permitting process and the understanding that the time to market will not be held up endlessly. Canada, especially BC with its greens and First Nations, can't provide this. On this measure our stable democracy has more political and social risk built in to it for developers than jurisdictions like Russia. Amazing.


One thing that I have respect for is that the Liberals don't seem to have stacked these committees with people who are just advocating for Liberal party favoured policies. The election reform committee didn't agree with pure ranked balloting, and this committee is basically saying that the Conservatives were right and the Liberals were wrong on the retirement age. No matter what party you endorse, this kind of independence is probably good.


They will, in the next few weeks


Why did you just ask the same question?  Do you want the same answer?  They have and continue to do things outside of the protests but you didn't and don't care about that, otherwise you wouldn't be asking the question, twice.

It's amazing how out of touch is the mainstream media with the reality. Ibbitson  you are an elitist loony Lieberal who loves the silver spoon chump, so- called PM.


Take it up with Scalia, not me.


Brought to you by the same Warren Buffet that the Lefties love to tout as a paragon on virtue for promising to give his wealth away. That's the wealth he amasses while creating carnage in the streets for the little guy.


Like the rest of the country, the cities are loaded with people with their hand out. Do you really think California would be a Blue state without LA, SF and SD?


BC, the problem is when schools switched from being institutions promoting knowledge and learning and instead turned their focus toward advancing favored social causes, usually surrounding race, class and gender issues or in this case science that is highly politicized.

I may agree with the large majority of your political views or the views of the average school teacher, but I still don't think it is right for the schools to act as agents of social change. There are 2 main reasons: one is that many families don't share the neo-liberal progressive views espoused by teachers, and it's not right to be using families' own tax dollars to teach kids things the parents don't believe. And two: when the focus of the curriculum is toward race, class, and gender issues and using science as a political tool, there is necessarily a large body of knowledge that is left out.


Pat Higgins answer to everything is bigger Government and more Taxes.


Sessions did not lie there.  You are lying about it.


The piece suggests that any of us could ne placed in the same position on a death penalty jury. Not true. In states with the death penalty, jurors on capital cases must be "death penalty qualified" meaning they must indicate a willingness to vote for death. Citizens opposed to the death penalty are not allowed to serve in cases where it is at issue. Many believe that this results in conviction leaning juries which can be the reason prosecutors ask for the death penalty, to increase  the chance of a conviction


His bigotry, hate of all Caucasians and overt racism  isn't a mental issue; none of that is  found in DSM-5!


Damn the torpedoes, sink the Iranian ship.


Instead of being so smug, why don't you think for a minute; or do you really think you're funny.  The President is relevant because smug people like you made comments about him like you are making about my posts.  As I said, just because your comments are snarky does not make them right.

Nothing is more common than bringing people together and offering food.  Jesus' first recruits were mobile caterers: fishermen.  Of course, the Gospel writers emphasized the message as the main draw, which it probably was, ultimately.

Comparing the media landscape of a radio reporter, from almost a century ago, to the social media world of today is nonsensical.
3.2 billion people are connected to the internet. Every day 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created.
I am sure someone, somewhere, had issues about who controlled the messages on papyrus scrolls, but, like Shire's comments, it is irrelevant when everyone today is their own publisher and everyone is connected to everyone else. The gatekeepers are long gone.


yea, a dumdum, and a crazy wank. great idea.


Better under it cause there's a hot mic on it ;)


Precisely.  There is no reason to banned the vaping.


This is the perfect example of "old thinking!" Government is the leg we need to regrow into the economy. Infrastructure banks, government bond issuance at below market rates... check out how China is growing.. we are too wedded to the idea of the supremacy of the private sector. We need to work together to get ahead, debt is out least problem.

There are 150 jets now.  The USMC has declared IOC for the F-35B and the USAF has done the same for the "A" version.  The USN is planning for 2019.

What is Civil Beat's motivation to report Djou wants to complete the rail system to Ala Moana? All of Djou's proposals involve some sort of at grade system from Middle Street to Ala Moana which will be stuck in traffic gridlock with thousands of cars and as Cliff Slater once called  "A Traffic Nightmare."


Did it ever, once, cross your mind the pilot might not want his name in the papers? It does happen.


The cost of eletricity per KWH is expected to triple as a result of Canada reducing ghgs by 219 megatonnes per year by 2030. In addition to that somebody needs to pick up the $ cost of battery banks .That cost is equal to the kwh costs of the solar/wind generation of electricity for the EVs. And then add the road tax to each KWH that goes to your EV . And all that is excluding inflation adjustments. Wonder how many EVs will power up when the cost per KWH is in the two dollar range???


Cutting to the heart of your article, 'we should give everyone enough money, welfare, to buy and own new homes in affluent neighborhoods, drive newer vehicles, dress well, enough cash monthly to pay for these attributes, and in fact, most will no longer have to work, just join those already on the welfare rolls'  This is a nonsense article, we live in a capitalist society, nation, not a welfare state.  'dual language' classes, for those who didn't bother to follow our laws to begin with, holding good American kids back, and this guy wants more of the same?  No thanks Monte.


"Mancave" "Gentlemen's Club" ?

Trudeau's not running against Trump.

As for Trump, his current posturing on trade is headed to the same place his travel ban and healthcare reforms went.


Lau is not an Iditarod musher. Time to pick up your soapbox and move on.


Mr. Ward, the majority of the red card holders does not equate to the majority of Alaskans hence the election of President Trump and our Republican Washington delegation. If you remember Begich was elected out of office because of his vote on the ACA. The majority of Alaskans were against it and I believe still are. I believe Senator Sullivan is still supported by the majority of Alaskans, the town hall attendees not withstanding.


Wow - do you work for a blue think tank?

So we should have never been paying Smith $240k ?

We don't need a strong, capable, effective leader in the superintendent's office - we just need a community oversight committee?

I guess that $240k could pay 8 community members to show up about as often as our legislators show up in salem.  They would be paid more, travel less, and  - - Yea lets put that proposal on Brown's desk !


His solution is more lies.


There's a somewhat recent doco out ("Semper Fi: Always Faithful") about decades of water contamination and links to birth defects, deaths, etc at the Marine Base in Camp LeJeune, N.C. as well.

Interesting stuff for a service that always...ALWAYS...preaches "Marines look out for their own".


Shows he has nothing to hide. I mean it's not like he pounded the crap out of phone, or wiped the hard drive clean or anything like that that would indicate absolute guilt.


It's so hard to communicate with the humor-impaired...


This entire mess could have been avoided if Harper was a secure enough of a leader to simply admit that Duffy was a mistake, turf him from the party, force him to pay back from his own pocket, and shame him into resigning.

But Harper was so overly sensitive to criticism, so scared of admitting any kind of mistake (which his Govt constantly made).    In other words:   a huge ego made of glass supported by supporters who believed every bit of propaganda fed to them.    Truly a case of the Emperor having no clothes.    That's why this elaborate failed coverup was attempted: i.e.    To maintain the thin, fake veneer of "honesty and accountability".

A true leader would have nipped this in the bud, moved on, and might be governing for their second straight majority.


I think F.B.I. director Comey had a lot to do with Clinton's loss plus the fact the Democrats ran the wrong candidate in the wrong election.

With this outlandish decision the Trudeau Liberals have once again embarrassed all Canadians.

Not my PM.


My neighbor has a habit of not picking up after her dog in the common area. I take a scoop and toss the crap on her front stoop or in her flower bed. Doesn't seem to happen nearly as much these days.


I guess it all comes down to what you want for the country.  Obvviously you do not believe in the sanctity of human life?  Life is a priviledge, nothing more?  Well then you better make health care a basic right.  It was just repointed that we are lbehind life expectancy when compared to S. Korea.  Be proud republicans, this is the obvious result  of having a health care system second to just about any other system in the industrialized world and is only interested in making big bucks as opposed to making people healthly..


Education is a provincial responsibility, and in Ontario John Tory lost that election by promising to fund religious schools.

Today, there is no way you can say different things to different people without the inconsistencies being pointed out.


Right on Harry, I don't agree with a lot of things and voice my opinion accordingly. I never express violence against people or their property and that's where speech can become hate related to me


Nothing could raise her stature more than a Twitter attack by Trump.

By the time she has to run again in 2022, opposing Trump is going to be viewed favorably by almost everyone.

These scumbags want to hand over public resources to private corporate interests.  They want to let businesses and corporations go tax free, and put the burden of taxation on the little people, and all the while they throw equivocation and lies and say they are saving the middle class.

But then won't define who they think the middle class is, or how they are going to do it, and how i' going to benefit the American people.  They are smooth talking  liars and thieves.


Psst......I don't think he can read......he's been given a sheet of paper to type out on every post.


Almost anybody who breathed near Mandela enjoys warmth from myths media manufactured about the man. Paragraph 160, of our sworn affidavit, delivered to, among others, IRBA, M&G, amaBhungane & SANEF, reads:

"THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT NELSON MANDELA of the ANC, on available independent evidence, was the first, among other Organs of State to collude with the racist depravity of Solomon and Abraham Krok. From that point on, every other connected organ of state fell into place to assist the original owners of the Gold Reef City Casino Licence" Our dossier, with appendices attached, explains in detail the fraud Gold Reef City Casino & Rob Davies (CIPC)  perpetrated against local and international tourists.

We estimate fraud in the order of  R1,5 Billion. At Paragraph 169, we allege, "PRICEWATERHOUSE COOPERS (PwC) is the linchpin in this massive fraud" concerning THE SOUTH AFRICAN APARTHEID MUSEUM AT FREEDOM PARK.
What separates PwC from KPMG ?

mg: The photo? yes it was. I've done the same thing myself. And I've laughed at myself as did JT and the crowd around him. You think that's bad? Because that would be mean-spirited on your part.
What's your point? That Trudeau can't walk on water?


A WaPo commenter posted:

"Get your shoe shine box, Mooch."


Maybe Melania has more influence than we assume.


Carnage: has it Increased in the last eight years or  receiving more attention? For there seems to be a correlation between the amount of coverage by conservative news of every shooting and their support for Trump's campaign to fix these communities.   Was that intentional or coincidental?

I grew up in the Combat Zone, an area of Boston plagued by murders every nigh in the downtown area.  I walked to school and stepped around   the inebriates, the victims of murder, and the druggies on my way to school.  But the news downplayed most of the information to keep the mayor happy as the police kept quiet about the facts.  The Internet with its instant ability to get information nation wide during a shooting has only been with us for recent history.  A person gets shot walking home from a bar in a town we never heard of; before they get to the hospital the entire country knows about it.

It is easy to keep the past hidden while faulting the present when the information is selective.


So you are a member of PERS, it is best to stop talking to you about this, I will add that common-sense values are hard to find today, and that is JustDucky, true values are those that people are not afraid to put there name to what they believe and not have that loop hole in common-sense values to hide behind.  Please have a good day, enjoyed the conversation, but we both know this is going no where and best to stop.


Jesus's teaching alienated a lot of people!

Imagine what a lesser man might have thought about his own life from the Cross on Calvary!!


Pray tell - How?


When a rookie coach comes to a well established team just two years from an SB win, it makes sense to be a "players coach" at least to start. He cannot be a Bill Bellacheat or Nick Sabin type right off the bat. He needs to get buy in from his players and gain their confidence, and "fairness" is one of the ways to do that. This is leadership 101 in any profession with well compensated, highly talented employees. If/when he earns the reputation as a winning coach he can be less concerned about alienating his players.


What part of separation of church and state do they not understand. Seems they are open to everybody or nobody.


That surely would't apply in a country that has 30% unemployment!


No it's not. I've worked/planned political fundraising events before. Everything is reported up and an employee of the party is involved (even if just to discuss the particulars (fee) with the volunteer hosting). What should have happened is that the PM's office would look at the inflated value of the ticket and decide if it could be justified by the whole "covering the venue/meal costs' excuse. If it couldn't they should have declined to accept the invite for Trudeau to appear.

You really can't spin this. There are always bits of shady fundraising that are hard to track (people drop $300 in 20s in the collection for cash donations at the event, no on can catch that). But those are small and not really substantial in occurrence. Trudeau is blatantly flaunting the rules.

I fund raised for 2 liberal leaders, multiple liberal MPs and 5 liberal MLAs. So when I get mad about this it's because I am disgusted with how Trudeau is flaunting the rules, not because I hate the liberal party.


The adults backed the pipeline.


No they are not, and stop exaggerating.  They're only going to tax it 1) if you invest the money, and 2) at the same rate that you'd pay if you invested the money outside the business.  The reason the govt is changing the rule is that some business people are using a corporation as a 'limitless' RRSP plan.  If you think there should be a mechanism in place to reduce tax on money invested inside a business, then make a case in terms of the business need.  Hint: there is a case that can be made.


Too vague. Please clarify.


Pruitt is an idiot.

And a con man.

And a traitor.

Just like the traitor that nominated him.

And just like the three Alaska Trump stooges in DC who voted yes to confirm him.

They all should be removed from office.


The airline industry has created a hostile working environment by their insaitible appetite for making as much money as possible. The flying public is complicit in this situation by demanding the lowest possible fares at all costs. We get crammed into tighter and tighter spaces like a bunch of cattle being shipped off to the slaughter house. Passengers are allowed to bring rediculously oversized baggage onto the plane creating a stressful situation for other passengers and crew. The only reason that there are flight attendants on any flight is for safety.  My wife just flew United Airlines from Chicago to Amsterdam and back. The crew was rude and obnoxious and their slogan was more like Fly the Unfriendly Skies of United. Flying has become a nightmare because we the flying public have let the airlines get away with providing an inferior product and allowed the airlines to consolidate and limit competition on specific routes. Enough is enough.


Prayer works in the sense that it is positive energy.  But praying to "someone" and making bargains with that "someone" is ludicrous.


A reminder that the majority of American voters wanted this woman to win.


Yes the Democrats were offering up some crumbs in order to get a Republican or two to sell their souls. Anything to get one or two Republican votes so they can claim these terrible bill had bipartisan support. That worked with the Porkulus bill but not Obamacare.


Why don't you share this advice with your smut reported Alisha Rommeling? It would be easier to move on if we didn't have to keep reading about it on your front pages.


How about just shut down?


My short course represents an ideal. In real life, the First Amendment only restrains the government from interfering with someone's expression. Employers are free to regulate employee conduct, including speech, while on the job, and the Hatch Act similarly regulates government employees and military members from using their positions to further political aims. Ideally, we would all strive to respect those freedoms at all times, but unfortunately, that's not often the case.


Funny how Caplan didn't mention the more "traditional" Republicans like Kasich, Bush (Jeb), or Pataki.  Guess it didn't fit his narrative.

That's what so endearing about conversing with condescending people, descending to high school.


Thanks for this Curtis.


Clearly a case of profiling.

 He was only arrested because of his 2011 Eluding and Reckless Driving arrests and his Burglary, Robbery, Assault, Theft I and Interfering with a Police officer arrests earlier  this year.  And of course, his 2014 DWS arrest down in Douglas County.


exactly, when dalton was set to do the GEA, his chief of staff resigned, and then after dalton did it shortly after, he was the first one to get a wind contract!! the corruption as usual


More civilized behaviour from Muslim terrorists.  I'm shocked.


The ADN has been more about censoring what is printed than any effort at informing the Alaska masses.  As the mouthpiece of a East Coast Liberal this is unsurprising.  The only thing that changed with the sale by McKlatchy was the level of professionalism.  Rogoff had none.


hahahahahahahahaha


My mother failed me that day. I remember that the day in fifth grade that I came home from school to tell her I had been selected to be an altar boy, she was ecstatic. I never saw her so happy. The fact of the matter is that if I tried to tell her that I had been molested by a Catholic priest, she would not have believed me. If I could have reported this to the police, they would not have believed me either. The truth is that back then in 1961 nobody could or would believe a twelve year old boy was sexually molested by a priest. I was taught in Catholic school that priests were Gods' representatives here on earth. Priests were a little less than the angels. I believed this myself. So I must have deserved what he did to me. No other conclusion was acceptable. About six months later, I made the first attempt to hang myself by attaching a belt around my neck and attaching it to the top bed railing of my bunk bed. My brother walked into the bedroom. I tried again later but didn't succeed.


Yes, I heard this story recounted by a Yellowstone Association guide when our family vacationed there. She said that the people in the early part of 20th century treated this as spectacular entertainment. Glad that the grizzly population has become sustainable again.

The Constitution makes SCOTUS the court of last resort on constitutional questions. It's decisions are the law of the land as much as the constitution itself. Anyone can have an opinion about constitutionality, but the only opinions that count are those of the justices.

She destroyed your entire lame attempt at a point here with the above comment. You just don't realize it, apparently. LOL


And the previous president, Obama, was great ? He is scary! Just like Big Brother in 1984. Obama uses spying, hacking and killing by drones. He may not be in the White House right now but he has his spy ring working for him. He has plans......those plans did not include Hillary being in office.Having someone like Trump makes it easier to implement those plans. His buddy is now the head of the Democratic Party. He is now a "king maker" of men and women.


It seems to be more complex. While spiritual fatherhood has always been part of the Church as referred in the bible,it has in the beginning been used for Bishops.

As for Priests, it seems to have been different from nation to nation, but the most common was lord(dominus), this can still be seen in romance languages with the title Don/Dom or monsignor(My lord).

Calling a priest father seems to be of a more affectionate nature similar to pastor. In any case in the East there also exist a tradition of calling priests father batushka(батюшка), (oytets)отец, and even pop(поп) in several Slavic languages. Likewise in Greek.

Curiously in Arabic/Aramaic it is historically been different, where Bishops are refereed to as "master" but priests and hegumons as abouna/abba(father). Where the word Abbot comes from.

There is also the Latin rite where the servers refer to the priest as "pater"
Suffice it to say I don't think I would call it a recent innovation.


You're right. Here's the headline from Monday's Greeley Tribune: "A shadowy group outside Greeley is working to influence the Greeley City Council election, spending nearly $50,000 on glossy mailers favoring four specific candidates and sending those mailers to voters across the city." And the mayoral candidate is running virtually unopposed. Makes you wonder what this group finds so frightening.


Suggest to find out what St. Paul was talking about, i.e., the rich who ate the bread and drank the wine while the workers were working....


Uh, no, I do not love the NHL.  It is parochial, poorly-administered and in should no way be considered as the custodian of hockey.  It is a business that looks after its bottom line.

If my comments bring some air to the damage it'd doing to this wonderful game, then good.

You, on the other hand, care not much beyond the crest on the front of the jersey, and that is a fact.


"... it's an open invitation if you know others who might wish to join us ..." You forgot to add, "unless they're going to question my views and say things that might hurt my feelings." Why don't you set up a Facebook page for this big event. call it the "Friday Freak Frolic." That's not taken, and it's catchy.


Let's see, BLM comes to mind.


Bertille C. Fung is clueless. He says rent control has worked. Doesn't he know that the demand for rental housing increased because the number of new rentals went down with rent control. The way to increase the number of rentals is to build more residential housing. Us kupunas know better.


When did the budget get balanced?

Last I heard we were still running a huge deficit.


Brings to mind- "Me thinks thou dost protest to much".  I wish all of our Police Commissioners where as stalwart and straight talking as Ms. Sheehan.  She's clearly a breath of fresh air.  No wonder the Ex-chief and his lawyer are trying to discredit her!  Keep up the good work Mr. Grube.


Paul,

Nope and I have no plans to.  I already know that neither she nor Bill served in the military. Nor did they send a son-in law or daughter off to war, let alone who were later were killed in action. That was the context of the question being asked.  One side of this silly argument chose a political career and another until recently, a private sector career which he still maintains. So I really don't see the point that is being made regarding this issue.

Now, I do find the question of have "you ever read the Constitution" interesting. I think both candidates should be given a 100 multiple choice questions, 25 fill in the blank questions, and ten essay questions test and have the results and answers publicly posted. I would also expect Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party and Jill Stein of the Green Party to participate. They should also be allowed into the debates.

I do grieve for the Kahns as I do for all who have lost loved ones in the Global War On Terror (GWOT).


WOW Rob, nice bit of  advice.....overdraft protection, HELOC's and credit cards...why do you think we have a personal debt problem in this country?? Because there is only about one in a thousand Canadians that are truly financially responsible. Most are working on a zero balance on the bank account so give them overdraft protection and then they are working in a negative balance paying 21% interest to the poor bank, HELOC's great lets suck the equity out of our house so they will never pay it off in there life time and yes credit cards ....great lets promote them "debt for life"..... I find this incredible that someone who so harsh and relentless on the financial services "sales people" that you are giving the tellers at the bank a free pass on up selling and cross selling. Absolutely they should have a fiduciary responsibility and should be held accountable for there actions and tactics or what just because they are the big banks...they know best?


Sad news . . .


nobody has to work very hard to prove that the vile and disgusting so-called president is a racist, a bigot, and a hate-monger

just sit at your computer and google Trump - Central park 5


Hey, it's just business.  Corporate capitalist business, supported and encouraged by the banksters who are the secured creditors.

Peons and their petty whining are ever so tiresome.


Poor thinking.
Not in my Canada.


Trudeau had time to fly to two different cities thousands of miles apart to get his picture taken in pride parades but he can't manage to find the time to write an apology. Why am I not surprised - apologies are no fun.


Thanks for that, it fully confirms how I imagine the system works. Or doesn't as the case may be.

So there are three tiers of subjective opinion beneath that of the court in a sexual assault case. First there's the complainant, then there's the police, and finally there's the prosecutor. Any or all of them could conclude that whatever happened is too minor to bother with. Yet whatever happened will still be recorded as a sexual assault statistic. That statistic is then mentioned by anyone who wants to dramatize the low number of convictions, as a means to coerce new rules around how a criminal trial should be conducted.

With regard to foreign policy, what do you believe that Trump will do that Obama wouldn't?

Well, Gigi, I suggest you speak for yourself. I've done quite a lot of work for my OWN information not to be released. I have multiple layers of passwords and passphrases, along with blocked ID numbers at the institutions I use, as well as information posted next to MY information on who may use my 'data'. Add to that use of cash for just about anything and specific out-in or opt-out clauses. As much as can be locked down, it is. And there is NO reason for the Dumpster Fire that is the current White House CEO to have ANY information about me for any reason unless it is backed by a court-ordered warrant. This is a fishing expedition, plain and simple, to try proving that the Trumpster 'won everything bigly, and the crowds were the biggest, ever, and the ratings were yyuuuuuugggee. And those photos of the smaller crowd, fake news. Sad!"

And by the way, in case you missed it:

It is NOT a Law, nor required, that you have to turn over the records being demanded by Trump's sycophants.


1. Any "guy" who has bragged like this before has been bragging about committing an indefensible crime, which makes them scum of the highest caliber.

2. None of them were running for President of the U.S.  If you haven't passed puberty you're not qualified to be President.

Just sayin'


Yes, in the long run putting heat into a system without an equal heat loss will raise the temperature. If you pour boiling water onto an octopus, it will die. The octopus that is miles away won't realize an increase in temperature.


Canadians ought to find out if former General Petraeus is on the loose in Canada.


Fast growing cities are Yo-Yos...  Las Vegas was the fasting growing U.S. city in the late-90s, only to go bust. In 2007 Las Vega's housing crashed harder than most cities, and their population declined through 2010. Now it's picked up again, but it's very volatile. Meanwhile, New York has experienced slow but steady growth that is far more reliable.

Same in Canada. Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver are not the fasting growing, but they're going to be much more stable than one-industry prairie cities.


The only losers here irregardless of the outcome is us lowly consumers.


Thanks....your 's is an excellent contribution....


I'm wondering how long it will take the NDP to turn BC into a have not province?


No, he's not.
And he has abdicated America's role as leader of the free world.
He's MAGA, taking us back to the stone age.


Thanks for stating your experiences.
I disagree that any outside intervention will work in the long term. The problem ? As long as the money is "free" and distributed to the band council instead of individual members there will be no sense of responsibility for anything. Secondly there is no private property ownership and the implied economic power and basis for democracy. The reserve dysfunction originates because there is no culture of self reliance and achievement. Regrettable these controversial impediments to progress are never elucidated in the media ( e.g. G&M censorship ) thus not debated in any constructive environment. The FN enclaves are NOT self reliant and sovereign nations - no matter how politically wonderful that sounds. All Canadians wish that issues such as youth suicides and FN women leaving reserves would be addressed and eliminated. But nothing will change until the FN Industry is seen for what it actually is - an impediment to progress.
>$12B/yr. wasted


Just another reason to turf these imbeciles from Queens Park.  Maybe the cops who have been suspended on criminal charges and who are receiving a Sunshine salary can assist in fixing this mess.....or maybe they not.  Might find them of the golf course now.

 Now back to the topic.....a few years ago during a snaking line of cars approaching the 400 N I noticed a car approaching my rear, not slowing down so I braced myself.  BANG, and this young Asian lady with an open laptop on her lap looked angrily at me as though I caused the accident.  Hours later after reporting to the collision center, I fumed about this ridiculous system.  This driver shold be OFF the road for a min period of 30 days and have a mandatory driving training, PLUS a HUGE increase in premiums.

I dont care how much the lawyers make,,,,,,,if people cause accidents they should be OFF THE ROAD permanently.  And the medical mess is assesemnets is a joke and always have been.  Must address this asap.
Lots of problems...


"Jamar Clark died after a bullet was fired directly into his head. Several witnesses say that he was handcuffed and motionless when he was shot dead."

White racists, either uniformed or not, are acting out there racist agenda as they feel their time has arrived.  It is the duty of every Christian to stand up to racism.  Tell the racists that their agenda is unChristian, unAmerican, and unacceptable.


Why not? Dubya practically bankrupted the US that way, Trump might as well finish the job. Obama must be shaking his head in disbelief.


Welcome Back Andy!


Considering that this is a blue state and Eugene tends to be liberal,  most of the letters should be anti-Trump.


I didn't see anything about skin color in TC's post, but I did see mention of it in yours, JT.


There has never been an elected official in Alaska who has ever written such a masterful explanation of our current budget/revenue situation.

Part of what Robin has demonstrated is we do not need a highly recessionary and regressive raid on Alaskans dividends when we are giving away our oil, and billions of dollars in corporate welfare payments.

If we had about 25 Robin Brenas' in the legislature we would immediately be on a path to recovery instead of heading for the worst recession in Alaska's history- one that is totally preventable.

Thank you robin!


There's a way to help with the budget----tell all those who favored and begged for a state income tax to send checks to Juneau this week for whatever amount their heart desires . Let's see if they put their money where their mouths were .   Like last year , democrats caused this threat of a shutdown because they steadfastly refuse to make meaningful cuts .  Education needs to be cut big time. Since the school districts , including the U of A system steadfastly refuse to make cuts on their own legislators need to man up and do it for them . All spending on the gas line needs to be frozen and their staff fired , and that 50 million taken from them to restore the trooper patrol levels.   The shame of this situation , in addition to all legislators failing the people of Alaska , is that a state layoff would have exposed at least 5000 state jobs that weren't needed.    Legislators will continue to break the 90 session law and sandbag as long as we pay them for every day after 90. End that .


As much as I appreciate people that use ridiculously outdated terms, or a guy that's still stuck listening to 80's metal and has a mullet, or an older person who's references to pop culture stop in the 90's I still have to ask where have you been for the last decade?. Longmont has about a dozen breweries, a cidery(boulder doesn't even have one yet), and its own distillery. Every year about a half dozen Boulder businesses move to Longmont because Boulder is crazy expensive to the point that its become painfully elitist.
We even have a ridiculously nice outdoor mall with large stone work/water features/even swings and shit. It has Vietnamese, French, New American Cuisine restaurants, a big ass Whole Foods, one of the largest liquor stores in that state, and it's own Colorado owned entertainment complex like a lil' Colorado based Dave n Busters.  I guess Longmont does have some super middle class american restaurants like Red Lobster you can look down on, but Methmont...Really?


As more and more of Donald Trump's administration swirl down the toilet bowl of politics, Trump keeps on chugging along with reckless abandon and a complete lack of knowledge of anything related to politics, the economy, or foreign relations. It's just a matter of time until the rest of the administration is flushed too, but hopefully there will be a plumber available when Trump himself begins the swirling journey down the pipes. He's sure to be a toilet clogger.


What do you think a "fraudulent" SS card got her?-- besides a chance to have a job on the books and PAY INTO Social Security, so that our Congress can take illicit loans from it, and so that people like me who are now old enough to collect their SS  benefits have plenty there to draw on w/o worrying it will go dry. Odds are good that she and other undocumented workers will never be here to COLLECT what they paid in.  People like that are a benefit to the system.


David French's "Jitters" is unfunny, punch-pulling Canadian slop, and see how long this comment lasts without some member of the theatre "community"  flagging it.  I played, BTW, Ben, in the second professional production of French's "Leaving Home" (I'm sorry he did), at Theatre Calgary, c. 1972.

And, speaking of time, vaunted "national" newspaper:  time your tightwad owners sprung for a CANADIAN spellchecker.  Does the New York Times use CANADIAN spelling?!


Love and respect our PM! His openness and compassion is refreshing and commendable.
-
Openness -
yes he even shows you his shirtless selfies
he hugs you to give  you  cheap  thrills
-
compassion -
yes he spends billions on Syrian refugees
but not his inherited millions
your taxes
leftist kind of compassion, know what i mean?


Cities like Seattle are an embarrassment to the country. Murray is an embarrassment to humanity.


These are really not limitations on population.

We have not made any effort to control storm runoff for example, or to recycle greywater.

And finally we are making great progress on new energy sources. Due to global warming we will all be desalinating ocean water to provide for water needs on the interior of every continent.

And we have barely scratch the surface on aqua Culture. We could probably Farm huge amounts of food in the ocean.

And we are not living on the San Andreas fault as I used to do in California.

The risk of hurricane damage is mitigated by our outstanding emergency preparedness. And we actually have a very small risk compared to the east coast of the United States. Or even the South and Western Pacific


"Why do you think it was "made up"?

Because you didn't cite a source for it.


In your another post: "Maybe in your mind, but in the mind of most Canadians"
.
How do you compare the sales of minivan and SUVs in Canada?


What bigoted statements and behavior from Tam about  "trumpy", RT?  The only thing that Tam wrote was extreme Democratic bias - "inflammatory statements on Muslims, Mexicans and immigrants".
And that is nothing more than talking points taken from the liberal media that smears Trump as racist, bigot, etc. by cherry picking his speeches and taking them out of context.


EFC, I appreciate that you have taken the time to share your opinion of why one should not vote for Hillary. Still, I would respectfully submit that Pandora is very capable of answering for herself.

I understand that you, probably, see it differently, but I believe that "partial birth" is a misnomer and when talking about these very tragic situations, I think it is very important to discuss what are the circumstances of these abortions.

Wow you're obtuse, see if you can follow: Banks were deregulated under Clinton lighting the fuse for the real estate bubble that burst after years of the banks giving out mortgages to under-qualified customers and packaging them into securities to be traded in bulk, something that wasn't allowed until old Billy Boy from Arkansas allowed it. So yes he was responsible in part for what happened after he left office, just like Obama will be at fault when Iran develops a Nuke thanks to his policies.


No way, Chance.  Can't blame big box slave labor on Obamacare.  While they're making Billions off the backs of labor, big box retailers deliberately under pay workers' hours to keep from having to provide healthcare and retirement benefits.  Only the management team is guaranteed 40 hours.  Retail loves the hire turnover.


Indeed. They have no explanation for the hypocrisy.


Well constructed opposition piece, Rep T! (Despite your whack-tard support of pro-abortion bill SB501.)

Order of precedence:
1. Finish the project on the ground (as per Rep T's piece, above);
2.Finish the project as-designed but with some (sucker) private investor(s);
3. Just stop. Stop. Stahhhhpppp! Cease work immediately! Today. This afternoon even! Save us the remaining $5-7 BILLION and just forget about the few billions already wasted. Leave it standing as-is until some other generation has to tear it down when it becomes a hazard.

I vote for number three, even though it's my third most desirable course. Because I'm spiteful like that.


Actually, there is a provision in the player's conduct guide that stipulates players and teams must be on the field, standing with respect, and facing the flag.


I thought brain cancer spreads fast...this is the slowest couple of weeks EVER!


Of course he qualifies as a martyr!  Why do you think he was in Auschwitz to begin with?

Because he was a Catholic priest involved in media evangelization.  Because he hid Jews and Polish refugees in the monastary.
He was released once from prison, and went right back to his work...which is when he was arrested again and sent to Auschwitz.

He died for living his faith.

You know they did nothing but follow the Party line! Tulsi is a drama Queen, just looking for free publicity! All show no go!


The situation still arises out of an imbalance between supply and demand - not enough homes for sale for the volume of people who wish to purchase. Generational demand is colliding with that of immigrants and foreign buyers who have more resources than generational buyers. Those generational buyers that do not have financial assistance from their parents or significantly well-paid professions cannot compete with the resources coming out of places like China. There is no shortage of housing in Vancouver either but there is definitely a shortage of homes priced in the range that generational buyers can afford. The call for increased development to create 'affordable' housing, however, is a political canard. Redevelopment costs (including a plethora of government fees and regulations) are such that most new construction in Vancouver is still much beyond the means of most generational buyers. There is absolutely no doubt that generational buyers are being displaced from much of the city.


Eventually the cost of lawyers for Central Monofil will exceed the costs of dumping their refuse at the MSB landfill.  So, if they didn't pay so many legal fees, they could afford to dispose of waste like everyone else does.  Poor business decisions aplenty with this operation.


'... no money set aside for her bucket list' - I thought she had 700k + 600k in investable assets, plus maxed out TFSA and some RRSP. This is with her condo paid off and 1.1mm in pension assets. That would cover MY bucket list just fine.


I was wondering to which lies, or statements, you are referring.
The comment that started off this whole thread had to do with the manner of reporting something in AP that had nothing to do with statements by the President.
Correct me if I am wrong.

As for the ability to articulate the mental process of reasoning, it does not include ad hominem comments like those of Mr. Tatum, who in this exchange seems capable of little else.


Thank you for pointing out a mistake. I should have written something like:
Here we have another conservative Catholic revealing what he thinks, which seems consistent with what the Vatican is doing to the Commission regarding whether or not having survivors.


'The Writers' Union of Canada deeply regrets the PAIN and offence caused by an opinion article in our member publication, Write magazine. The Writer’s Prompt piece offended and HURT readers, contributors to the magazine and members of the editorial board.'

That's an excerpt from the press release the Writers Union put out, emphasis mine.

There's plenty I don't like about social justice warriors and their take on the world, but one of the worst is their intentional conflation of 'offense' with literal pain and injury, as seen above. Being aggrieved isn't enough, because people tell them to get a thicker skin or to do what adults do and turn the page, change the channel, ignore, walk away, etc. They have to be HURT.  Who would be so heartless as to ask an injured person to ignore their injury?

It's basic emotional manipulation because they want to leverage the power to censor the offender. Walking away just isn't good enough. They need to punish.


So sad. Our sincere and heartfelt condolences to his family and his friends.


Sword said he would not recluse himself without hearing it directly from the Mayor.  Thought the Commission was independent of the Mayor and politics.  What a joke.  Obviously he should have reclused himself without being told or asking the Ethics Commission, another political hack job since Toto was let go.  And you wonder why we have issues with rail.  Systemic political corruption.


We accommodate Mennonites and Hutterites  in Western Canada. Public school Teachers have to go to the colonies to teach. Mennonite men will not serve in the Canadian military even if drafted due to their religious beliefs. What message does that send to society?  Violent Christians such as Timothy McVeigh bomb government buildings in the US killing children, and Christian activists threaten and occasionally do shoot doctors performing abortions. No apologies from the Christian community for these nut bars... Zionist settler extremists in Israel assassinated Yitzak Rabine for pursuing peace on the West Bank.  Point is Islam is certainly not the only Abrahamic religion with violent and extreme members who twist faith into something awful.

It would seem to an outside observer that the "guise of religious freedom" in Canada  is somehow only to be applied to accommodate Christians and Jews and not others.


- continued response
7) "We have tried, and remain willing, to advance discussions with the union"
- This is laughable at best. After attempts to discuss a bridge agreement failed at the end of July, it wasn't until the first of September the next meeting was scheduled. Little was resolved and nothing on healthcare or retirement was resolved. ACE held to their position with little discussion on the matter. The next meeting wasn't scheduled until a mediator reached out and set up the next meeting for the last week in Oct. If someone were wanting things resolved do they wait 2 months?
8) "We have made every good faith effort to reconcile the unions stated positions with our fiduciary duties"
- Good faith efforts would include having supervisors scaring employees with permanent replacement if they don't cross the picket?  Under an Unfair Labor Practice strike, ALL positions are protected until ACE corrects the NLRB charges against them. Currently there are 5 NLRB/ULP charges.


The author wrote, "Donald Trump told Americans that Washington and Wall Street were rigged and the business and political elites were responsible."

And your problem with this statement is?

Freeland supports Trump... Got it.


YOU are not part of the bet.  YOU don't get to decide what is positive and what is negative.  The bet was "10 things that he has done".  I've provided 60. Many, think EVERYTHING he has done is positive.  And whats more, the things YOU think are going to weaken our country, will actually make it stronger.  But have you noticed Old Soul hasn't chimed in?  You can carry his flag for him if you'd like, but YOU don't get to make the rules. He lost, I won, and I'd prefer a couple of pygmy goats. (some for sale near me) je me souviens ?


Laughable! But Hope (still) Springs Eternal I guess...

Good going President Trump. Daily you improve our country.


This is so old and tired as an argument it can simply be cut and pasted by all trads in all their comments about renewal.  It ignores the fact that the Church always has and always will change.  Growth, revelation, knowledge, theology, and human insight into the divine all push the Church (all too slowly) to a different place in many ways and by many means.  All you have written here, I'm afraid, constitutes part of the ash heap of Church history and is of use to really no one.  To accuse those who work for a renewal of the Faith as you have done is more the work of division that you, apparently, even realize.  I firmly believe that it is the orthodox conservatives that have created the division and the chasm that haunt our Church.  History has proven me right, if you care to explore it.


I agree. The government has punted the costs to far enough down the road that it won't happen while keeping up an aggressive tone that looks silly after seeing their plan. Our allies that protect us expect that Canada will contribute to it's own defense. We risk losing them if we can't get our act together.

That's to say nothing of giving our brave men and women in uniform the tools they need to do the most dangerous job on the planet. We've learned nothing from the debacle of the Afghanistan deployment.

Good article Suzanna! Really great work, Larry Lewis!


And in turn Apple has created many new patents on its own that others use plus created thousands of high tech design jobs in the US and fuelled a wave of creativity and entrepreneurship made possible by apple products.

This story is a very weak argument. I laughed out look at this clunker "Apple devices are connected to the Internet, which is not an Apple invention.".


I wonder if Fr. Pavone and his fellow-travelers would have supported Fr. Berrigan had Berrigan vested in alb and stole and placed the naked dead body of a victim of napalm on an altar.


Regarding Measure 91, you wrote the following on state marijuana taxes:

"I have no illusions that this will become a major revenue stream to offset the impact to services created by users. I am making a statement about the fact that the impact will be on local government and if there is any revenue generated it should go where the impact is borne. We are going to have to deal with the increases in DUII arrests in our patrol, jail and prosecution service. We are going to deal with the increase in children dealing with marijuana poisoning in our public health services. Colorado has shown that it this is the result of legalization and that local government has to deal with the impact. Colorado has also shown that revenue is coming in far below estimates. I hope that the legislature will recognize where the impact is felt in distributing resources if 91 passes.

It passed Jay and all of your phony predictions failed badly. Why?


No, it is not punishment by definition, since it does not meet the definition. I will not respond to additional repetitions of this erroneous assertion.

Life is tough, Christians are called to hardship and sacrifice, and God demands that we obey His commandments. Jesus was obedient to the point of death.

If these facts create faith problems for you, you have bigger issues to address than the cardinals' letter.


Yes, I "must admit" Trump won the election.  The way he did it, using character assassinations on all opponents, making false innuendos, playing to the base levels, were a few elements, of many others he had nothing to do with, that won him the elections. But for Trumpites the ends, defeating Clinton, justified the means.
Please don't compare a political campaign to fighting in real battle. You insult all our veterans.
Our enemies have done a good job of defining themselves, Putin being one.  I don't see Trump calling him out. Yes, Trump is letting the Generals fight, the Generals he called an "embarrassment to our country" and alluded should be fired. You've been lied to about the effectiveness of the MOAB bomb:
www.foxnews.com/world/2017/05/07/analysts-downplay-effectiveness-moab-strike-in-afghanistan.html
If you aren't going go give Obama credit for beating back ISIS you can't give it to Trump either.  We'll see about China, they've promised that before and failed to follow through.


Huh? I hope by that you meant it's billions, not millions.


Between the U.S., Canada and Mexico yours is the only country to have been found by the UN to be violating the human rights of its own citizens.
Your country recently completed a deal to sell billions of dollars of arms to the worst human rights violators in the world.
Canada is not just trying to increase trade with China, its making a mockery of 'Canadian values' in the process.
If you're not going to at least acknowledge Canadian shortcomings, you have no credibility in lecturing others on this topic.


The melt downs over Trump are the best.
More please.


There are also a lot more whites killing whites than cops killing whites.


What would you call it, when pellets are coming your direction?


The hypocrisy is unbelievable. Here you are talking about immigrants and refugees as violent criminals, yet you fail to acknowledge the risks that are already here. I haven't read of any refugees drunkenly assaulting people or groping women without their consent in Anchorage. I have read about locals who have though.  If we've been given a second chance and a way to improve our lives, we should give others that courtesy, no?


That's right, 214Montreal, I often post as an abusive right-wing crank.

This is embarrassing, why do we just not get the Indians work so they can contribute to Canada instead of being the takers of all times. I understand, there is not one think the Indians did other than take what they could get to live, they never added any value that is why they were replaced, but it is not a reason to pup with the Indian act. Time to cut them lose and see if they are ready to make a contribution,, I for one have had enough of the chiefs and paid (MY TAX MONEY FOR SURE) cronies wining.

Something else that I have often wondered about...

http://theconversation.com/if-men-are-favored-in-our-society-why-do-they-die-younger-than-women-71527

Just asking a question, ladies.

Sorry for being curious...  I am not PERFECT like your Justin.


It was there for Your Js to get in, despite not being very good, neither were many of the other teams.  It was there.  But they folded and are going out not with a bang, but a whimper.

Happ was not as stellar as the headline makes it out to be, but he was decent.

Again, it is quite conceivable this team just quits and limps home struggling to even get to 70 wins.

Bautista, ofer, 3 Ks.  Really?  How can you even play this guy when you have better riding the pines?  What is this chemical romance between Bautista and Gibbons, it has cost Your Js any hope they mighta had.

1 out of 6 RISP, same old.  Manager just ups and keeps sending out the same lineup, doesn't matter what.  Hey, he says, these guys have hit in the past, they will again....except, it's not true.

They can't possibly bring back Gibbons, no way.  Unconscionable.

Now the worst team in the AL based on run diff, lowest-scoring team.  Ouch.  Their record, 11 games under .500 actually flatters them.  This could get ugly.


Might have been celebrating the new DRUGGIE/MARIJUANA legislation Trudeau wants so badly for some reason.......celebrating early?

Easily 25% of drivers on the road are impaired one way or another....whether it be drugs, alcohol, mental health issues or just plain stupidity!


Do you think single payer (government) will control costs? Laughable. Can you spell VA?


What did Communist China gain by siding with NK in 1950s?  50 years lost to political turmoil, and 60 -100 million civilians killed by internal state oppression.   I dont think China has a stomach to return to the hard core Communism represented by NK.  What NK may provide is even cheaper industrial labour than China has now. The industrialization of NK is only possible by first it's demilitarization.


This latest eposode in this long, painful saga is reminding me of the Iran Contra hearings when Sen. Dan Inouye was grilling Oliver North and John Poindexter about who was holding the smoking gun in the whole matter. My Pop always told the story of when he saw the hearings, with emphasis on the moment Poindexter told Inouye that the buck stopped with him.

Inouye couldn't nail then President Reagan, and the men who were assigned to receive the kill shot to protect the president, stood there and took it. they knew that the punishment for any of this would never reach the level of truly impeding their life. I am sure at this point, as mentioned below, if Don Jr. is the bullet taker for his dad, and that the buck stopped with him on this, and that the bloodthirsty politicians who want "someone to pay" make him pay, all the better for this country because frankly we got to get back to work from this.


I prefer "deplorable."


Yes gun registry is petty useless. The answer is stop making and selling them.


This home was owned by the victims; it was not a rental.  A tragic event like this does, however, serve to remind everyone that the systems we rely upon every day to live, also need to be respected.  There is not always someone to blame.  Could this have been prevented with CO detectors? Maybe.  We may never know. I can think of two circumstances where a CO detector in my house had alerted either myself or my family to danger.  Either of those times could have ended up as a similar event, or worse.  Please make sure that all of your detectors work, rent or own.  My condolences to the family.


Yeah.  We like Cupich and want to keep him.  Thank you very much.


"The pressure to assimilate"?????   What a ridiculous statement.

Immigrants come here because they believe our country and culture offers a better life, especially for their children. They want want their country of origin can't give them. Relative freedom from oppression, economic opportunity and cultural flexibility.

Assimilation into our culture, even if the multiculturalists won't admit it, is actually the objective.


The rich don't even get out of a cab any more, they disembark.


Good, he'll have something to 'kneel' on.  Perhaps he can influence a few of the $90 Million for 3 years playing basketball, to forego their salaries, and instead, follow he and the ex-SF footballer, in their quest to find more imagined wrongs....


YOUR UNITED WAY DONATION AT WORK!  doing what they do best. spending your "help those who hurt" money on throwing a party and patting each others back. goodwill and united way are 2 of the most disingenuous "help" organizations there are. sucking at people's money with false pretense.

Assisted dying and and a Liberal slush fund called an infrastructure bank is what this government celebrates as accomplishment.  Congratulating each other on setting the nation on course towards a $trillion federal government debt to be paid off by our yet to be born.  High fiving each other in celebration of passing an appalling budget to address the daily operations of the country, and whitewashing this as responsive governance.  This is a government of flash and mirrors with little to nil concrete accomplishment.  3 bronx cheers.

As for the Senate, they had an opportunity to stop in its tracks a threat to the foundation of our democracy.  An automatic tax applied without review.  A tax increase applied by a computer program in perpetuity without justification or scruitiny.  No accountability of how this will be spent.  The Senators were right to stop this from happening.  They chose to be obedient Liberals instead of defenders of democracy.  They are rubber stamps doing nothing.
