With all the firing, resigning, shifting of positions, so on and so forth, I really only care about one more; when the guy responsible for this chaos will be leaving.  What is happening in his own administration, with his own hand picked people, is a crystal clear indication of his "leadership", or lack there of.


Is everything ok with you  ?   It IS clearly lazy journalism to not report a time frame . Hundred's , if not thousands use that place and will adjust they're plans based on that estimate.  I'm not a building contractor so why would I submit a bid ?  Get a life .  I'm living the dream and don't have to work .  But , since so many people like and use the Dome , if they needed it , I'd donate cash to help get it back up again.


I have been here for 46 years boo.  The EPA is a prime example of a Federal agency that has gone far beyond it's intended purpose.  The EPA has cost more Americans their jobs than any other Federal agency and the net result in adding anything to our gross national product is .... Much less than Zero.  The only thing the EPA has  created is a ballooning federal bureaucracy.  Do you think there are really thousands of EPA employees and EPA related jobs in Alaska?  I am really happy about Scott Pruitt heading up the EPA. He will do a great job of turning the agency around and not do so on the basis of  emotional hype.   I'm sure you are for Big Government but if you go back and study the Constitution of the United States and the history of how it came into existence, you might be the one who is enlightened.  And lastly, I'll match my education with yours any day.


One benefit of this could be the eradication of BC's old labour vs. capital divide. This makes no sense in which most of us are both (if you have any savings you own capital stock of companies and unless you are a very powerful investor or have complete control of your company you are paid for your labour). The old dichotomies are failing. We need new frames in order to find solutions and make BC a resilient, sustainable, happy and wealthy society.


Portland is truly a great place to live. I have no religious affiliation, and I don't have to live in fear here.


It is not about baking a cake, it is being asked to depict or write something on that cake which the baker finds abhorrent and to do so would trouble his conscience.
Could a good, Catholic baker not feel he was doing something wrong if he inscribed upon a cake, " Abortion is a woman's right to choose".
This is but one instance. There will be many other such instances, e.g. a homosexual baker asked to decorate a cake with a biblical quote condemning same-sex marriage. Would he not have the right to refuse?
If it is so trivial as you suggest, your Supreme Court disagrees with you.

Canadians are so ..."

Don't stop there.

Americans are so hypocritical, self-deceiving, self-interested, and gullible, they've gladly allowed themselves to be the objects of a huge misinformation campaign by the 1% and the governments of the USA.

Canadians simply turn on the CNN and flip through Time Magazine...


At the Txpyer's expense? Remember at the end of the day who is footing this bill and who Roberts is really robbing.


Back in the 70's ,80's, no "sleeve" tatoo were on officers. What's with the "cultural" thing?. Back then only the convicts had full on tatoos or yakuza.


"Clinton lost. It's time to get right with that fact."
Nobody mentioned Hillary, and it's time for you to gather salt as a peaceful protest.


I see you've tried to change the topic to "rural communities disregard the environment...".  Another time perhaps.

So now, back to those subsidies.  You mention Port of Anchorage fuel facilities but were so careful to spell out where funding does NOT come from - cute.  Are you a lawyer?  Since the port is a public entity, the entire facility, fuel farm, land and all, is one big public subsidy.  That modernization project - massive pig at the public funding trough to the tune of hundreds of millions (source:  PofA website).

Care to reveal your statistics sources?  I'm fairly certain that you're only talking about direct government subsidies, ignoring tax write-offs, etc.  And since you write spill pans, some government agency had to review that - another subsidy.  Every plan & permit gets gov review at a cost (subsidy).

Solar subsidies are one-time capital expense.  Fossil are the gift that keeps on giving.


I like the message in this one.

And I like Brother Leo, but some things about his characterization bother me.  I've spent a good amount of time in monasteries, and monks are VERY knowledgeable.  He's a tonsured friar, but he seems to know NOTHING.  "Can I wear a cross?"  Of COURSE you can wear a cross - you're a friar!  Who ever heard of a friar wondering if it's okay to wear a cross?  You don't know unless you ask the Pope?

And why would Francis tell him not to play with his rope belt? (which he would almost certainly call a "cincture," not a "rope belt" but that may be for the sake of the reader. )


But this may anger Junior's Chinese masters!


The 25K  limit was set for the "middle class" many years ago. You were deemed sufficient rich at over 100K in income that you could do any extra savings without tax assistance. There is no law prohibiting savings outside RRSPs. Even 25K / yr. over 30+ years at a reasonable rate of return will give you over a million. The problem with recent low interest rates is that even a "balanced" portfolio is not returning as much as expected.

If you make RRSPs unlimited, you end up with the small business "problem" - those with excess cash will simply hide it away and defer all taxes. Government does want to collect income taxes, and small business owners have managed to defer taxes (except the low SB tax) for years.

Finally, the SB can specifically set up an individual pension plan for retirement of the owner, but the previous system did not encourage that.


More likely, "Main stream media!!!!!!!" - followed by grunt, snort, body slam.


There was a time when political differences came down to government spending policy or whether businesses should get tax breaks.... but now... now I see people advocating murder as a patriotic method of limiting immigration.

I used to vote for both major parties depending on which economic approach I agreed with. Now I face the possibility that voting for one of those parties may mean aligning myself with a racist movement that accepts violence as a means to achieve their goals.  Voting is no longer about whether I want to fund low-income housing or pay raises for soldiers. Voting is now about whether I'm willing to look my Muslim co-worker in the eyes again.


The one thing that all tyrants fear the most is public ridicule.

Their egos explode for they know that they control by fear. And if you can laugh at a bully or tyrant, they have to destroy you lest the laughter becomes contagious.


So presumably the Sens are now favourites to win the Stanley Cup


The point of this article is about the lack of recieptions for touchdowns. The offense does not play with an open passing attack, because there is not a long ball threat. There is a ton of space available for receivers down field, but the conservative play calling seldom goes there. Additionally the tight end position lacks a true pass catcher that draws attention away from DT. These factors, primarily limit the Broncos success in scoring through the air.


And GE was "the big winner."

There must have been an extremely large number of less-than-big winners to reach that grand total.

I think Fr. Jim Martin has laid out a smart, sensible way of dialogue between the Catholic Church and the LGBTQ community.  On the one hand language needs to change, and I would include with this the language of the Catechism itself calling same sex desires "objectively disordered" and things like the firings of LGBTQ workers in Catholic institutions needs to stop immediately.

On the other hand we also need to be realistic in terms of the changes someone like Pope Francis can initiate. Sometimes I get the feeling that some people think that because he isn't up to date with all the socially liberal trends of Western culture, therefore he's not worth listening too. Yes, he's a social conservative in his views on Gender and Sexuality.

However under him incremental strides have been made to be more inclusive on this from his historic statement "who am I to judge" to his historic call for an apology to the LGBTQ community.


Your post is whataboutism, a verified Russian tactic used to divide Americans.


Trump is the way he is because his base is the way he is.


It's possible he could have used hypnotic drugs on her as well, to control and make her non-resistant


Dear Andrew, the article seems to teach and guide a convicted terrorist how to avoid being caught again so as not to cause further embarrassment to the liberals in this blunder. There is no recovery from this. Tax payers money went to fund a terrorist who's actions and his family's actions are witness to terror career and relentless hate for the west. I don't get your point. Conservatives didn't make a big deal out of it, it is indeed a big deal. May be one day if someone you care about is hurt as a result of the actions you are defending you might begin to understand.


"With an uncertain prospect of conviction, investigators chose a path that would allow Mr. Wright to remain an “unindicted co-conspirator,” because they deemed Mr. Duffy, a sitting senator, to be of greater public interest than an unelected senior official in the Prime Minister’s Office."

Well, that's an interesting call — and one that contains clear political implications that should have been apparent at the time.

First off, why, when our interest is in abuse of power, is a common or garden sitting senator of greater public interest than questions concerning the conduct of the most powerful public servant in the land?

Second, Duffy's case centred on the argument that he was being set up by the PMO — an argument that the court essentially accepted. In that light, the RCMP's decision could be seen as as clearly prejudiced against Duffy.


I know Health and safety should come first but this is not what current Americans want.  They voted for trump and deregulation of corporations and financial institutions.  The belief of trump and Americans is that regulations that protect the consumer, the environment or basic health and safety are wrong and are the cause of unemployment and all fiscal and financial issues for the American government and its country.   Therefore we need to strip the consumers of knowledge and protections because it will make the ultra rich and corporations richer.  Makes total sense.


Randall Igou is out on bail already. He's awaiting trial for felon in possession of a firearm and is caught running from the police and still receives bail?  His criminal record is proof he has no respect for the law and I can understand why. He hasn't been held accountable yet.  Now we wait and see how he's connected with the death.


Wow.  Most everyone else here castigates me BECAUSE of my opinions - yet you can't seem to recognize one.  Odd.  That may be a matter of concern for you......


In all fairness Canada should be given a pass on being unable to offer any aid to citizens abroad due to the minuscule ratio of defense spending to GDP. When you rank near the bottom of all NATO countries on such measurements, passing the buck to save Canadians to other countries that come closer to the NATO recommendation of spending 2% of GDP on military is only fair, especially since Canadians are agreed upon by the world's countries to be their darlings.


I wish everyone all the best in their endeavors.

Why are all these athiests so obnoxious that they feel the need to shove their rhetoric which is just as bad as what they complain about.


Susan, you're right, this issue always draws in parties not local be it at city council meetings or these articles. But no outside interests got a ballot on the vote of ratepayers that was sent out by the city, and that came back to cease fluoridation. And the only media campaign on either side was a nicely funded operation run by the Seattle PR firm Pacific Public Affairs. Whos website is dubiously void of anything but basic contact information. They sent out numerous glossy mailers and letters to those voting. I think those in the county have an interest since the politics are so close with these few small cities in Clallam county.


I wish I could be there  Probably wouldnt get close enough to let him know what a piece of crap he is . Besides , baby Dump would have me escorted out because he can dish it out , he just cant take it can you Baby Dump ?

And it's our duty as Coloradans to make his life a virtual Hell until then.


Communists in Canada just crapped their pants


I've also marked some comments as "bad", but "civil", and then I get asked for feedback on 6 comments, instead of 3, as though the software is trying to check whether I'm sober. I agree: it's perfectly possible for a comment to be "bad" while also being "civil". If "civil" isn't what they mean, they must say what they DO mean.


It's oh so "progressive" (and not the least bit hypocritical) to enact gender quotes and discriminate on the basis of gender - as long as the discrimination is directed towards men, correct?


We know enough developmental psych and human development stages in the social sciences to know that moral development occurs on a developmental continuum with successive stages that may or may NOT develop well for a myriad number of reasons....everything from early sexual abuse to autism and everything in between....

The notion that we are born gross sinners at birth on a downhill lie is simply not very helpful.

It may be the best the medieval folks could come up with and it may produce a useful fear that authoritarian religious types utilize..to promote their agendas... but it's neither true nor helpful to the development of morally adult folks...indeed it's destructive of those ends!


Different folks love different symbols.  In Lima, Peru, is a large equestrian statue of the Father of *their* country - Francisco Pizarro!

In modern terms, he was an illiterate thug, thief, and genocidal murderer.  :-/

In Ulaanbaator, I understand there is a large statue of Chinngis Khan - a hero to the Mongolians.  (Although much less so to the Chinese, Koreans, and various Eurasian peoples ...)

MT907 wrote: "The tired old “racism” charge is getting a played out and isn’t working anymore…the left really needs to work on its creativity."

With Trump it's a reality though  MT907 - the company his father created and he now runs routinely refused to rent to people of color - so much so that DOJ got involved.

and I quote:

"The Justice Department undertook its own investigation and, in 1973, sued Trump Management for discriminating against blacks. Both Fred Trump, the company’s chairman, and Donald Trump, its president, were named as defendants. It was front-page news, and for Donald, amounted to his debut in the public eye."

You realize that all parties agree on the immigration issue right?  That every single party fully supported the last immigration plan right?

Unless you can point to a party that would do anything different, these attacks are beyond useless.  All they do is alienate potential CPC voters.

In other words, you're a Liberal pretending to be Conservative to make your point. Got it!


Wow, the "money before people" folk are just freaking out, aren't they? Perhaps if they had actually read the article -they would see that a lot of that new money is going to people that need it.
Or, maybe they are in a tizzy because the guy whose socks they keep making fun of  is doing a better job with the economy than their guy with the funny hair.


Ban assault weapons. This Koch Bros.  paid b.s. does not belong in any respectable newspaper.


The second letter is practically laughable - no way that guy in office is ordinary in any way, shape or form. He's not a 'one of us' kind of person, but a 'them'. While I'm happy to see a few people speak out against the office-holder, unless they actually back up their words with actions, and not kow-tow to a party-line vote to screw everyday Americans, their words ring hollow. Let that party break apart - the office-holder is doing a great job of starting to divide them now.


Which in no way silences him. In fact, it seems to have freed him up a bit to express himself.

Those citations are naturally biased, please cite reputable independent sources. You are definitely tapped into and buying the republican blogosphere. Try to balance your reading with some of the democrat blogosphere to get a more complete and full picture, which I do by the way.

The rich skip out on more taxes than you apparently even have the capacity to understand.... Why do the ignorant open mouth before doing at least a wee bit of research?


So, in the end, a university's funding will now be controlled by a committee empowered to decide if the university's decisions reflect sufficient diversity?  The big question, will the committee reflect diversity as well, or will they be composed of the minister and Sunny Daze's group of 'higher purpose' people, hand picked to reflect what is 'trending' now?

With Oceanic, the games were on for free the next day on OC 16 (the broadcasts were abbreviated but more than just highlights). Will this continue with Spectrum? You had to get up early Sunday morning but it was free. So the delayed broadcast on OC 16 plus the games carried on cable channels like the PAC 12 package and ESPN give us some games outside of PPV.

Dear nettarget  it never stops when the Wynn Liberals are involved, or any other Liberals for that matter. Con artists of the century.


To the PDN:

If you're going to continue to give big, banner placement, apparently forever, to these two non-local, outdated stories about Donald Trump,  don't you think you should park a couple of stories (with photos) about Hillary Clinton on your on-line pages too?

Back in the days when people still cared about fairness in media, this used to be called "equal time."


You sound like you work for the city - "diverted" is not in the city's lexicon, at least not in this example(it might be applied when feathering their nests though). The city will raise taxes on its

The Hoover Institute has brought you this vacuou's nonsense. Perhaps Paul Jenkins can find a filing job there.


A usual you miss the point. I wasn't talking about this article I was replying to a general observation that the Reporter concentrated upon Social teaching and the Register concentrated upon sexual morality which is manifestly untrue. NCR is obsessed with feminism and  sexual mores especially same-sex relationships.


I've always found this writer's imagery in writing a difficult slog to get through. It really could only come from a particular type of woman's mind.
I would have commented on the headline itself but with only 23 comments, why bother-it's comparable to a CNN much ado about nothing. And I mean nothing.

Nice of Maui police to waive citations. Did someone give Honolulu police the memo? Or will they be allowed to issue bogus citations & get possible court overtime? Let the indians run wild because there's no "sitting" Chief. Plus some city satellite workers might be working overtime on Saturday thanks to the city buying a half "arsed" system.


Trump has not ruined one of my days.

Knowing that my fellow citizens support a man whose primary reason to wake up in the morning is to wipe out the legacy of America's first black president simply because he was black, and knowing people like you delight in hurting me...that's changed my life. Trump is worse than 9-11 if you hate racism.  If you love racism, Trump is Christmas every single day. Those Charlottesville men dressed like him. He was their leader and he defended them.

He will never be my president. Good day.


Yes, he is.

He did maintain what he did at the end of the year last year, that was the problem. Other teams had obviously figured out he couldn't beat zone coverage, same problem he had last year, he hit his ceiling, I think that was predicted earlier this year.

I can't remember how the hell the Broncos won 9 last year either, all I know is, in this scheme, I've seen guys running wide open, unlike last year, the Broncos just need to find a guy who can hit them.


Let's see here, if more people would really see what this bill is about, it's clear it doesn't do what it says.  It pretty gives way for litigation to occur and doesn't stop any use of pesticides like Lukens claims.

What's worse is that the small farmers become the collateral damage.  My dad's fields are nestled in ag lands and thanks to CFS, he's treated like a criminal when he tends to his trees when pests and disease hits.  Is that what we want for farms in Hawaii? He has even used organic pesticides but it doesn't matter because people are made to fear it thanks to the litigators behind CFS.


I think this law should be compared to the courts prohibiting the release of the personal information of those who were involved in animal experiments at OHSU a few years back.  When prohibiting release is clearly to prevent injury or worse by those who have more passion for a 'cause' than inhibitions, it is justified.  I would oppose a blanket prohibition for police officers in fatal incidents, however.  The public does have the right to know if this is the first or the fourth time an officer has used deadly physical force.

mr mcnasty may find that the road to power is not the coronation he is expecting.

The Harper formula of right wing ideology plus ugly hardball power politics is now outdated, even in Alberta. Add to that his Denier stance which is utterly indefensible, now that even Pallister is going with carbon pricing.

And remember under the Harper regime the economy sucked. Kenney won’t be any different.


Just for the record, Timothy Danson is a lawyer, not a risk assessment expert.  Everyone hates Ms. Homolka for what she did, understandable.  But she is now doing exactly what we ask ex-offenders to do -- obeying the law and living a pro-social life.  If you or Mr. Danson have evidence to believe she is a danger, you should do the responsible thing and call the police.


This is really the crux of the issue everywhere. News consumers are now expecting everything for free and without funding, how are good investigative reporters and reporting funded? That's how they end up going "on the cheap' and reprinting stories from elsewhere that aren't verified OR they end up being funded by rich people who are largely interested in running the news to push their point of view. Those really describe many if not most of the news outlets currently. We the consumers of news bear some responsibility for this situation.


Why should any two people believe (or have a relationship with God) that is the same? Thinking that there is, and should be, uniformity leads to excommunication, purges, schisms, Inquisitions, and persecutions. Trying to force or persuade other people to believe spiritual things exactly as you do is futile and damaging. People have different ideas and ways of thinking. To cow people into thinking that they need to agree with someone else about these things, even though these things are essentially made up, and theology consists of arguing about things that are ephemeral (as if there is actually some basis for truth of the assertions and concepts) stunts the people, preventing them from developing ideas of God (if they want) that suit their experience and unique life. The push toward uniformity of belief is wrong. Great harm is done to the world through this impulse.


Pardon me, it is not a straw man argument. Philosopher James O. Young in his book Cultural Appropriation and the Arts distinguishes several types of appropriation, and one of them is Subject Appropriation, which is "the depiction of cultures other than ones own either in fiction or non-fiction". (In fact, the quotation is part of the Canada Council's definition of appropriation.)  In Professor Young's treatment, cultural appropriation is neither good nor bad in itself -- it is other factors that make it so.   In fact, he argues that "cultural appropriation is often defensible on both aesthetic and moral grounds". (And he has consulted extensively with aboriginal writers and others.)

Your article has failed to mention the single most important benefit lemon juice presents and that is to acidify your stomach so that you process food easier. As we get older our stomach acids are not as powerful as they used to be so drinking a little lemon juice kind of kick starts your system.
Apple cider vinegar is also very effective at doing this and is a little stronger the lemon juice. They both highly recommended by naturopaths . It's amazing how the main benefit is completely unknown to most people.

.."And whose head is gonna roll for it?"
There's got to be a republican on these islands somewhere..


Some people who read Mr. Anchordoquy's letter might be confused as to whether he supports or is against "birth control coverage" being "Mandated by The Government" since he seems to use examples that defend The Government making "societal decisions" regardless of any religious objection from religious folks.
-
The Government made a "societal decision" regarding a "birth control mandate".....and Mr. Anchordoquy seems to object to the "mandate" even though it doesn't interfere with his or anyone's ability to buy "birth control coverage" from any insurer that is willing to offer such coverage.
-
And if there is no market for any insurer to offer "birth control coverage....(and that is highly unlikely, but even if were possible that no one would)....it is not up to The Government to "create" a market for a service that would not otherwise exist.
-
Health Care Providers and Insurers exist to make money.....and if they can make money selling "birth control coverage," they will.


Wow, this whole response is a strawman. I'm not discounting the use of a shotgun or other firearm to protect against a bear attack but I'm saying that if you're not comfortable and proficient using a shotgun it would be extremely dangerous to be carrying and also be ineffective against a bear attack. Bear spray has been overwhelmingly proven to prevent bear attacks, does it work 100percent of the time? No. Neither does a shotgun. This isn't about taking away guns or anything else.  The statistics of the efficacy of bear spray are very convincing and to make fun of people who choose to use it is bullying. This isn't a macho pissing contest.


OK. My turn to complain "click bait".

To "shake up" a campaign, Catherine Bélanger has to do something unexpected, like endorse an outsider. Endorsing a former campaign co-chair is NOT unexpected.


Your shocked that a conservative would defend that? I'm not, and by the way the Conservative Party disagrees with her.


Cheap, Ms Damoff. Unproductive. Divisive. Stupid. And cheap.

What Stevil and his thralls did was monstrous, yup.

What does that have to do with the Cons now presenting what appears to be a productive bill for discussion?

This is all too familiar from the last ten years, when we repeatedly heard "but Mu-um, he started it" crap from S& his thralls, every time your party tried to bring forward something useful.

Knock if off. You guys told us you were better than that. Prove it.

If only Alberta was like everyone else....   Let me ask this, why should Alberta be like other provinces?

No group has figured out the magic solution.   Alberta had massive population growth which required a high level of public spending as infrastructure and services kept up.   That high need also led to questionable expenses and waste, no surprise.   Alberta had high priced oil/income growth to pay for all that.   Now that the income is gone, $billions sucked out of the economy in an instant, no surprise the equation is out of balance.   But the people are still there.   Many make a fraction of what they used to, if they are working.   Revenue has dramatically changed.   Their expectations also changed.  What has not adjusted is government spending.   Also not adjusted is some attitudes in the rest of Canada  - just keep sending money.   Why not challenge the implication that expenses aren't the problem?

The West is also not wrong to expect fair treatment from it's friends.


Perhaps you missed it, but Bill Clinton is not running for President.

What is more disgusting is the amount of people that are willing to wash away the tide of complaints about Trump's sexual aggression with a but-but-but-but-bill.

I have heard it is ancient news from 2004 and the person then pivots into what Bill Clinton did in 1998.

As an aside, always bring up that Hillary was cheated on is victim blaming and really it doesn't make the case that Republicans know how to treat women.

Party of Personal Responsibility right there.


This underfunded problem started over a decade and a half ago when the so called conservative majority decided to triple tier the retirement system and stop funding the obligation at a sufficient level.    It seems as though the "conservatives" in power will do anything to sink the pension's funding.  They want to see it fail.


i live in king salmon and have heard people talking about this a lot, what surprises me is the amount of people who say that they like Donna, i never knew her myself,but imagined that they would all be against her but that's not the case it seems, i find it strange that if u hold up a liquor store you would get 10 years but someone could steal a million dollars and there's no charges that i know of, i would say maybe its the color of skin but look at bill cosby, i think its public perception, if u have such a good image for so many years, people just have a mentally and emotionally  hard time accepting that they was wrong about u


Trudeau taught French and Math full-time.


LynnAK, All the guests have probably switched hotels.


You care more about guns than you do people. Pathetic.


Condolences to Family and Friends.  I hope that both parties obeyed the rules of the road and more exercised "heads up" defensive driving / riding skills.


"This is us, the new Canada of rude, racist and often drunken behaviour."
The poor behavior of a few fans does not mean that all fans are morons so please stop painting all of us with the same brush for the sake of a story Mr. Kingwell. Rudeness, racism and drunken behavior are not unique to Canadian fans and I suspect you will find some at every sports venue, in every city, in every country.


Chicken of what?  I just got your reply right now.  Believe it or not, I don't live on here, like some do.  I have a busy productive healthy life that comes first.

I give myself a 'like' because my comments are awesome.


Of course, they don't play the national anthem at your workplace so your personal experience isn't applicable.

The players aren't hired to salute the flag during the national anthem.  I think Adam Gotsis, in particular, would be able to explain it well.


Michael Dukes, the talk show host on KBYR, hammered the CON issue for years when he was on KFAR in Fairbanks.  If you follow what was said on his show and related media reports, you can set up a "hospital" anytime and anywhere you wish so long as it meets the definition of a "doctors' group".  I eschew big corporate health care as much as I can get away with, so it's not so much of concern to me personally.  I do remember Mike Beirne and his battles over trying to start a third general hospital in Anchorage.  I also fail to comprehend why Eagle River still doesn't have a hospital.


His eye is on the bottom line.


It's a pity that we give ecumenism such short shrift when our Lord's last prayer on earth was that we all may be one. I'm glad our wonderful pope understands the importance of this. I'm not so sure his predecessor was on board to quite the same degree, but I'm glad to see that Francis is making gracious overtures to the Anglicans and Lutherans. More substantial dialogue with those ecclesial bodies in particular is long overdue.  Viva Papa Francisco!


Well, I was at Riot Fest in Byers.  At 30 I was on the younger half of attendees and if was very positive from my observations.  That was all about the people of Byers being scared of people that didn't look like them and, probably accurately their town not being able to handle that many people at once.  The most aggressive concert I've ever been to was Cake (Cake for F*** sakes) at Red Rocks a year or two ago.  You can't go to a concert where people aren't using drugs these days, it's a rarity.  They keep trying to have these huge music festivals all over CO and it seems like half of them get shut down after 1 year because the town, or landowner sees what a giant mistake it was.  This too shall pass.  I imagine the golf course will be so badly damaged that the contract will be torn up after one year.


"Good to go" from Harper doesn't exist as dealings were primarily done between Wright and Novak within the PMO. The only reference to "good to go" was in an email after the story broke from Wright referencing Duffy's prepared lines to the media well after the repayment became news.

No email or communication between Wright getting approval from Harper exists except in your delusional mind.

Again, I dare you to supply your full name and contact information so the lawsuit can begin


So, why aren't BOTH Dems and Repubs complaining about both?  You guys are killing this country with your petty partisanship instead of addressing the issues and calling ALL politicians to task.


What does this have to do with anything?  The shooter, much to your chagrin, was not a extremist Muslim.


What's right about this editorial?  Most cops are good people and deserve honor and respect.  What's wrong with this article?  It misses the point of current policing problems.  We employ police.  We tell them the tactics to use.  We have told them through representatives to be militaristic, to acquire advanced weaponry, to confront citizens and demand instant submission on pain of death.

To solve the problem we need to step back and reflect on how we want police to operate.  Currently, police confront aggressively and thus place themselves in harm's way.  Consequently, police shoot to kill to protect themselves at the first, often misinterpreted, sign of threat.  Once in a while aggressive approach is necessary.  Usually, the matter in question is not so important and it would be better to let the perp go rather than to kill him.   With this change in attitude, police need not recklessly enter into harm's way and shoot to kill without observation, evaluation, and reflection.


IRT Sally Ancheta: Since smoke does not vanish and settles on all of a cars interior, smoking should be banished from all vehicles, since any breze will whip it up in the air for any passengers young or old.


"There are no suspicious funds being wired to Trump bank accounts. Trump's tax returns (like Romney's and Clinton's) are just going to be hundreds of pages of Schedule C's and Form 1065's, some of which will show losses."

And you know this how exactly? In truth, until Trump actually releases his tax returns you, along with everyone else, know nothing.


Its too bad you can't try to be a good journalist.
I guess your niche of the "lets build dislike of the whites" gives you a job to the Globe.
I wonder what kind of people are management at the Globe to cater to this direction?


55-mph was and is a crock. Oregon's rural interstates had a fatality rate of 0.8 -- FAR FAR LOWER than the 1.6-to-4.3 deaths per 100-million--travel-miles on other rural roads in 2015.  In fact interstates are the fastest, safest, and most fuel-efficient roads. No surprise: the common causes of crashes are opposing traffic, crossing traffic, roadside hazards, and sharp curves-- all minimized on freeways. The same crash-prone intersections are also fuel wasters. Since rural interstates only account for 7% of Oregon's vehicle-miles-traveled, how could monkeying with the limit change much?


Read whatever you want into it.  Thousands of police encounters happen every day with no negative interactions, yet you're acting as if a tiny percent is the norm.
Personally, I think it's a shame yours have ended the way they did.  Better luck next time.  In fact, do us all a favor and make a sudden unexpected move.

Pandora, I wondered how long you would resist posting on this story.  As always, you speak with the voice of the Bishops, who are not to be held responsible for their part in the scandal, since, after all, they were doing the will of the Lord, John Paul II.


From 2002 t0 2015 Public Safety of Canada conducted a study to determine how widespread the white supremacist /hate culture views were in Canada. They found that hate crimes against religion or ethnic groups totalled 49 across Canada,primarily in Ontario and Quebec. Since the shooting at the mosque, there have been many claims that racism is widespread, based on what evidence was never made clear. Short of convicting people for thought crimes, the perception that hate/racism is widespread is purely conjecture.


An additional R2 million to fund the AG Panel is most definitely an investment in sanity and good governance rather than purely an expense!


Well voolay voo.....


Me too. To be honest, despite my opposition to this, I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will work; it's been clear for a long time that this is probably unstoppable.


"And Trump recently usurped a function usually reserved for Treasury secretaries: commenting on the dollar’s value. The president-elect said the dollar was too strong, a move that roiled currency markets."

Get used to Trump saying bone-headed things; the man is a bone-head.  But did anyone check to see if Trump's children made currency plays just before and after his utterance?


Yet you comment here on a regular basis.


the pfd comes out in October and we vote in November, so lets make good choices and vote these cbc members out and get good and honest people


How many did these states send their homeless to Hawaii?


Tell us again about how America should become one with the world. I especially like the one about how we Americans are so disgustingly greedy b/c we don't want to take care of everybody on the planet. traitor.


Neither.


I fully expect this to be front page on the CBC for a week...

Oh wait......


LOL.


It is a political symbol of extremism, which we just don't need.


OK, what is with this screwy part of this new comment system: I replied to my2cents with "No, it would have to be some modification of a hot air balloon to qualify.: and I get an endless loop of responding to the same post to rate that doesn't allow my post to enter the lineup. What's up with that? It's happened several times and you can NEVER get out of it.


Probaly a good idea you give up sitting on your derirre every weekend. Time to talk a walk, read a book, learn some history instead of wrapping yourself up in stupidity the rest of your life.


See the most recent article in the Register Guard regarding the Cottage Grove SD Superintendent. This is just endemic of her "Leadership style".  If I had to guess,  more and more will come to light over the next few months....


If the ads were blatantly pro-Trump or anti-Hillary, this article would be saying so (gleefully). Instead, it simply says that Trump and Clinton were "named."

When dealing with partisan "media", always pay attention to how far they don't go.


Absolutely - the 71% figure is not a bonafide sampling of the Canadian public. A poll, accurate or inaccurate, means nothing by the way because our justice system is based on LAW, not personal and political opinion!


If Jaireme Barrow or Yannick Read's method's were to makes thieves literally wet their pants it's fine by me.  Thieves and liars are low-life scum in my book any day.

It is laughable, but I'm not sure how obstructionist it is; I don't think anyone who counts pays attention to them.


Out of the two teams they will play UCR may give them some trouble.

I didn't know trails were wide enough for two horses side by side.  I've never ridden side by side on a trail.  On the road, sure.  But once again, horses are NOT "mechanical transportation".  But you probably don't have horses. If you did, you'd want to ride the Sisters.  Your signature, you are greater than me is offensive.


Makes Stephen Harper's position on the abortion issue seem prudent.


Sara Fredericks, are you suggesting that President Obama, a democrat, doesn't control the media?  He controls it.


Thanks for putting yourself out there and posting to this comments section, Senator, knowing what kind of criticism will be launched at you.  It's notable that none of our other political leaders have your courage.  Rather they send their anonymous surrogates to comment here.  (BTW - I'm for hire if you ever need me...).

I do agree with your decision.  Now is not the time for your family, and likely wouldn't be successful in any event.


I don't get it. Maybe I look at things too simplistically. Forget income taxes. Forget inflation. Look at cash on cash. Maximum CPP benefit right now at age 65 is about $1,100 per month. If you take the cash now, by the time you turn 71 you will have received about $80,000 (leaving out inflation adjustment). If you wait to age 71 to draw CPP, you will get 50% more or an additional $550 per month. At that rate, looks to me like break even is about 145 months or 12 years. Isn't 83 life expectancy these days? Seems to me in this case sooner is better than later. Sorry, Fred, but I think you are dead wrong.


[SAD!]
WHAT? your a secret Trump supporter! Pushing his agenda by being an "insufferable lefty". OMG!

[Often when someone writes something subjective I can just address it with one or a few words.]
Yeah, most people know better than to waste their time with you. I'll learn that lesson in time. It will be glorious for you because you'll be able to pontificate with no objection.
.
[Are you perhaps a little too emotionally wed to your opinion to think straight?]
After seeing all this ranting (with caps), maybe you should consider asking yourself this question. You seem to think its ok to question ones belief system but the SECOND someone does the same thing to you, you go on and on pointing fingers dodging questions, misrepresenting what was said, adding hidden meanings etc. Save us some time and yell in the mirror because that's who you should be frustrated with.

I did see this and commented, was "rejected" for being civil. (Yes I said it right)


1)  There is a bike lane on that stretch.
2)  The speed limit for the bicyclist is the same as for the car:  30 MPH on that stretch
3)  The driver was required by ORS 811.050 to yield to the rider in the bike lane.

Unless the bicyclist was going over 30 MPH or if the bicyclist had left the bike lane, the judge does not have the law on his side (even if the law-enforcement officer is)

ORS 811.050 Failure to yield to rider on bicycle lane; penalty.
(1) A person commits the offense of failure of a motor vehicle operator to yield to a rider on a bicycle lane if the person is operating a motor vehicle and the person does not yield the right of way to a person operating a bicycle, electric assisted bicycle, electric personal assistive mobility device, moped, motor assisted scooter or motorized wheelchair upon a bicycle lane.


Ivory tower? 😃😃😃 Has anyone ever asked what we wanted? No. Industry rules the world. Big oil lobbied and bribed Congress and stopped any access to alternative. Too many billions of bribes available for to buy stupid greedy legislators with IQ's smaller than their belt size. Oil will be the only fuel on earth forever till either we are dead from the poisons they fill their bank accounts with or some mental midget blows us to hell and back to be oil king. Either way its to late, but it still pisses me off when I read of constant polluting by these mental morons so they can be rich and famous with the brumps of the world.

Then you remember George Bush failing to complete his military service, you remember George Bush allowing the Republican National Committee to run his email server and deleting 22 MILLION emails, you remember the Iraq WMDs oops those weren't real, you remember the thousands of soldiers killed so far in the middle east as a result of that lie about WMDs, and you remember all the Republican sex scandals that involved actual candidates and not just their spouses, right?


I enjoy talking with you, LG.

I have no problem with the different way people receive or take communion. It is not a major thing to me, except for a couple of times I've nearly tumbled over someone (young) kneeling on a hard floor suddenly. I sometimes do better as an EM than I do in line! The young kneelers will learn in time what age can do to ambition!

Have a good day.

This is something every coach who is at a turnstile program thinks about when that big name comes knocking.  MeElwain is a good coach, but clearly the pressure of UF was too much for him, and his arrogance was a rub with the admins.

If the only option of the future is ultra processed industrial milk from the US, which has as much resemblance to real milk as their processed cheese does to real cheese, anyone who wants to eat healthy will have to eliminate dairy from their diet or hope that enough boutique independent producers survive that real milk can still be bought.


The purveyors of fake news now decry their creation isn't believed by the public.  They fought soooo hard to elect Hillary and the public didn't buy their crap.  Too bad Tabby.  Get used to President Trump.  Going to be a great 4-8 years.


If someone that resembled our president, appeared on your property, didn't greet you, didn't smile and just started to scream at you about your mango tree's leaves falling over his property, and that he is going to build a huge canopy over the neighborhood (which you will pay for) to prevent your leaves from entering everyone's yards, what would you do?  The same guy responds to the loss of your (insert here) mother, father, dog, by throwing paper towels at you and then saying condolences in whatever ethnic accent he thinks you may be.  He represents some of you?  REALLY?  THAT GOES A LONG WAY IN EXPLAINING WHY DRIVERS IN HONOLULU DON'T SIGNAL, PEDESTRIANS CROSS WITHOUT LOOKING, AND PEOPLE STAND IN A 10 ITEM EXPRESS LINE WITH 22 ITEMS!


"I have CNN on most of the day". Really, no more needs to be said than that.


Target's move to $15 an hour 'blows up' this myth about raising minimum wage
Target on Monday became the first low-wage chain to announce it will raise pay to $15 an hour.
Chief executive Brian Cornell said the decision to raise wages to $15 by 2020 will help Target attract and retain talent as the hyper-competitive retail sector enters its busiest quarter.
Target's move to $15 destroys the claims of corporate lobbyists and others who say it can't be done.

First, thank you Ms. Hofschneider for your Efforts & Time on this article *
I feel that "THE TRUE PURPOSE" of the Lobby organization is as Ms. Yamane & Ms. Tanida has spoken to.
This Raises the Obvious for me.  "Why does the Council even give an ear, & BE Seen as Influenced By these Lobbyist ?  If they were Elected By the People to Serve the Peoples Interests & Not Special Interest - Why are they even meeting with Lobbyists ?  Perhaps We should Eliminate that Seduction characteristic of Lobbyists that Tempts a Good Council to Forget Why they were Elected to that Position in the First place !

So, which of the facts checks are biased, and which are not?


Now isn't the time for platitudes. It's time to buy a gun if you aren't white and male. Trump won because of white people, including college educated whites (by 1 point). They voted for him, he's their macho man gonna make America safe for the white male pussy grabbers and Christian rapos.
Ultimately it was all that pent up rage at having an educated black man for president for 8 years. It's literally jealousy. Jealousy that some black people have moved up the economic ladder. The ignorant undereducated whites just popped their pills and drank themselves into a stupor while non-whites got competitive.
Trump is the president for white people. The white supremacist heartland (and rustbelt) have spoken. The whites have fallen into line and are ready to do the bidding of the 1% even against their own self-interest because they are first and foremost racist.


Truth spoken, Guy, but he DOES have a valid point.


"Liberal Conspiracy" in 3...2...1...


See what I mean.

Even Rex-y (AKA Goat #666) is rethinking the "wisdom" of having chosen a B-list reality TV show celebrity with four prior bankruptcies and two (soon to be three) failed marriages who has never willingly read a book in his entire life as Leader of the "Free World..."

Oh, well... we the people will remember that the Repugs supported this.

Canada is not the US.... and even if it wants to be, Nova Scotia definitely does not.

Nova Sc-exit NOW


That is correct. On election eve of last year, all the corporate media outlets were predicting a Clinton presidency. Even Bill and Hillary were seen giving each other high fives around 6 o'clock on that evening. But, let's look at the Globe's anti-Trump and anti-working people editorials over the last 2 years. It laughed when Trump announced he was running to become the Republican nominee, it laughed when he ran for the president. Well, the Globe isn't laughing any more, is it? Finally, Donald J. Trump, who is a fine gentleman, owes Canadians NOTHING when it comes to the anti-American NAFTA treaty. Look for major corporations now in Canada to relocate to the USA after he rips it up.


I politely disagree.  Look at the colonies in this country, no tax and they did fine.  I believe that income tax didn’t happen in USA until 1913, we did fine without it.


Why is it now "the Paradise Papers" and not the "Panama Papers" as it was previously?

Your comment strongly suggests that your religion is Scientism. If you truly favor rationality, read and think about the article linked below, titled "How can science solve all of our problems?"

Money quote from the piece:

"Lastly, many areas of life are simply too non-physical to be satisfactorily addressed by science. Love, hate, relationships, poetry, art, music, literature, and spirituality are all outside the realm of science. Any problems that arise in these areas cannot be completely solved by science."

My daughter and I drove an hour from Silverton, thinking we are crazy to be riding in the rain today, but we had a really good ride, and she won some prizes for her poker hand, and I actually got a book I was hoping to get.  "The Horses I've Loved"   A Memoir, by Susan Acree   :)
Thank you for hosting this ride!


JJ...Where do you get your information? HIV can be transmitted through ANY type of sex where there's potential entry to the bloodstream, and in IV drug use only by using an infected needle...or maybe you were being sarcastic?


"...the need for white people to have advocacy like other groups do,”
I'm not sure that applies to a group in power. Look at government bodies and CEOs. Most of them are white males. Whites don't need an advocacy group.


What!??! If you cannot discern what the protests are about then you have not been paying attention to the issues at play.  This is a totally ignorant response on your part.  Educate yourself, please.  Read something other than Fox news.  Protestors have been abundantly clear as to the reasons for protest.

Evidence of explosives in the destruction of the 3 World Trade Center buildings.
1.  Rapid onset of destruction,
2.  Constant acceleration at or near free-fall through what should have been the path of greatest resistance,
3.  Numerous eyewitness accounts of explosions including 118 FDNY personnel,
4.  Lateral ejection of multi-ton steel framing members distances of 600 feet at more than 60 mph,
5.  Mid-air pulverization of 90,000 tons of concrete, and large volumes of expanding pyroclastic-like dust clouds,
6.  Isolated explosive ejections 20 to 60 stories below the “crush zone,”
7.  Total destruction and dismemberment of all three buildings, with 220 floors each an acre in size missing from the Twin Towers’ debris pile,
8.  Several tons of molten steel/iron found in the debris piles,
9.  Evidence of thermite incendiaries on steel beams,
10.  Nanothermite composites and iron microspheres found in WTC dust samples.

The KKK was an avowed Christian protestant movement, so that accounted for anti-"papist" bigotry. That still existed among non-KKK protestants in the North, in my childhood. Anti-Jewish prejudice is still widespread throughout the US, including among self-described Christians. Many if not most of our home-grown religious bigots (I didn't mention the KKK, YOU did) are self-described Christians. But that's the point. Certainly there are a lot of Muslims who are religiously bigoted, but there are far more that are not, witness the 1500 years of religious tolerance toward Christians, Zoroastrians, Yazidis, Jews, and others in the Middle East until the twentieth century.

My comment specified the religious intolerance of MILITANT Islamists, who I compared to US  bigots (without mentioning the KKK) (I didn't call them religious bigots). You are the one who brought in the topic of religious bigotry in the US, while I was talking about mostly racial, ethnic, and sexual bigotry, not the KKK.


Wisdom of a 10-year old. Bless her!


Trump moved the Obama inspired "line in the sand" forward to where it should have been years ago, right in Assad's face. It seems the U.S. no longer will turn a blind eye to atrocities in Syria.


The article is horribly uninformed and adds fuel to the fire of  hate. Please find a way to learn about ACE and trauma informed care. People with disabilities are more often the victims of violent crimes and the language in this piece makes me fear even more for their wellbeing. If anything this story should be about what this school and administration is doing to educate the neurotypicals on people’s differences and how a community can make a difference. What a horrible thing to read. Those poor students and parents can feel how much they are unwanted by the Edison community. Signed an Edison graduate, 1982.


Serious question: Many people voted for Trump because he was allegedly for the "little guy". Do any of you who did think he might help the middle class worker feel duped? If not, why not?


Bonus!


Motley,

You're right, I often forget about Jimmy Carter.  My guess is, like Jimmy, Bernie would be steam rolled and a one term president.  It seems we have come full circle back to Lynn's comment.  I wish Bernie and his supporters well.  I hope he and they don't suffer the same fate as the Populist Party in the late 19th and very early 20th centuries.  Hillary could easily become their William Jennings Bryant.  We need people like Bernie and even the Donald in the game bringing in folks with enthusiasm and conviction as agents of change.  Whether we agree with them or not we need them, because the status quo is leading us down the road to eventual oblivion.  Somehow reform has to take place in the two major parties to break the strangle-hold the entrenched get re-elected at all costs status quo has on them.


You relied on angry Tweets to further your story. But you're right, you probably shouldn't engage anymore. Note my last name. According to WWeek, people like me have a thing for car bombs.


Let's make another deal - don't act like a child. Where on this thread did anyone bring up Reagan?


Kathleen Wynne has been married twice, once to a man and once to a woman.  In each case, she was an adult when making the choice to be married.  For her, choice has apparently played a role in the sexuality and the lifestyle that she has practiced.

Generalizing about the role of choice in sexuality is certainly an error prone exercise, but franco's comment appears well within the range of facts that warrant discussion.  Those who insist on banishing such comments are turning their backs on a freedom of expression that has won so much for so many over the past generation.  Why so paranoid?


Loved the article!

Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas!


It will soon spread to other groups. The neo-Nazis may not like anyone that is not like them but the Progressives don't like anyone that doesn't think like them and eventually they turn on each other.


END RAIL NOW


With the Globe getting rid of Tabatha Southey and Leah McLaren and running fewer columns by Sarah Kendzior, it seems Liz Renzetti is now taking more fire from the Globe's misogynistic commenters.

Though as Pierre Trudeau once shrugged after hearing he'd been insulted by Richard Nixon, "I've been called worse things by better people."


I am curious as to why you reacted with "disagree" to my post up above in which I pointed out that the United States is a constitutional republic, which is among the many forms of democracy> How can you disagree with this? It is patently true. Do you not believe we live in a constitutional republic? Or do you not believe that's a democratic form of government? I've always been curious why many right wingers deny that we live in a democracy, as though being a republic isn't a form of democracy when it is.


Conviction first, then sentencing after.  Any possibility of a civil claim for losses?

We need a new city manager, period.  https://www.facebook.com/Fire-Jon-Ruiz-639805446090363/


D'accord, more explicitly, regarding 1) Thanksgiving, the Eucharist is first and foremost a sacrifice of praise & thanksgiving; 2) Meal, the Eucharist is a sacrificial banquet; 3) Covenant, the Eucharist, as the sacrifice of the New Covenant, is the development and fulfilment of the covenant celebrated on Sinai & the Eucharistic liturgy is a sacrificial covenant meal; 4) Memorial, the Eucharist is, at the same time, and inseparably, a sacrificial memorial, i.e. not “merely” a reminder but a sacramental re-presentation and 5) Presence, the Eucharist is the sacramental re-presentation of Christ's sacrifice. To contemplate Christ involves being able to recognize him wherever he manifests himself, in his many forms of presence, but above all in the living sacrament of his body and his blood.

The liturgical reform inaugurated by the Council has greatly contributed to a more conscious, active and fruitful participation in the Holy Sacrifice of the Altar on the part of the faithful! 1/2


White nationalists comprise a small minority in the U.S., even among white Americans. I think philosophically refighting the Civil War is a futile and reactionary cause in any case and it's preposterous to assume that the white nationalist movement has anywhere near enough influence to start a new civil war. I have lots of (white) relatives, including two siblings, who live in the U.S. and have never gotten the impression from any of them that Americans in general want to move backwards on civil rights.


Meh, I don’t think I’d read your newspaper.  Not enough coverage on Benghazi. And, what, no coverage of Hillary’s emails?


Ms Donahue still retains custody of her two children who were in the wagon?  To me that, if indeed it's the case, is truly amazing.

  "In March 2016, she was arrested for driving under the influence of intoxicants after police say she admitted to smoking “four bowls” of marijuana and taking the natural sleep aid Melatonin. She pleaded guilty to the charge in May of last year and entered the Lane County Circuit Court’s diversion program. The vehicle she was driving at the time of that arrest was the same Ford Taurus from Wednesday’s incident."

I wish the children the best of luck.  I fear they will need it.    Gary Crum

anything to do with motion M 103 in Canadian Parliament??
you know the one about Islamophobia


SD, Great discussion.  I'll look-up the various state corporate tax rates to catch-up and get back to you.  I can only guess at national pricing strategy.  But I suspect it has a lot to do with standardization.  By that I mean, to give the customer the same "feeling" or should I say "experience" whether one is in Wyoming or Maine.  I would further guess it has to do with national advertising.  I also suspect they don't want someone from Oregon to be in Idaho and say, hey, we only pay $2.50 for that back home, lets go see what Wendy's has to offer next time and with that, brand loyalty becomes to crumble.  But notice that last sentence, price matters and if the competitor sees a way to safely undercut their competitor, everything begins to change.  Additionally, as business look more and more to increase sales and growth, they will look for all possible ways to lower costs and increase prices.  As a businessperson, I'm sure you know all of this.

See post below for state tax rates.


The reason the article is here, and all you Scrooge types know it, is as yet one more illustration of  the nasty, short-sighted and harmful nature of Trump's ridiculously broad-based ban. He disrupts and destroys people's lives whose "crime" seems to be to wish to have a better life for them and/or their children or to be able to work to their highest capabilities. Trump is undermining the ability of major American corporations to hire the best and brightest.

If Trump really cared one iota about protecting his fellow citizens the only ban that could actually  matter would be on much of the military-grade arsenal now stocked in basements across the US and used regularly to mow down Americans.


Thanks, Courtney.  This is a step in the right direction and long overdue.  Income and health over a lifetime improve with a college education.


Offloading a measly $2 Billion of real estate debt ??
This is like throwing a few deck chairs off the Titanic to "lighten her up".
.
Meanwhile the question is, are they doing this at a loss or a profit...?
Huge difference.....and I suspect its not for profit
Details please.


It's curious, the way certain Canadian leftists are OH SO VOCAL in the wake of terrorist attacks against the USA...

.. yet we do not hear similar outbursts from THEM in the wake of terrorist attacks in Canada.

Here is Naomi Klein right after airplanes hit New York's World Trade Center:

"... here's a different question that must be asked: Did U.S. foreign policy create the conditions..." blah blah blah?

Ah yes, American foreign policy! They had it coming!

Why so quiet tonight, Ms. Klein? Why not lob your pungently pointed "question that must be asked" about CANADIAN foreign policy whilst EDMONTONIANS are bleeding in hospital?

And where's UBC's Professor Sunera Thobani? Why's she not out on camera yelling about how Canadian foreign policy is "soaked in blood", and stringing together sentences about "the Canadian people" that include the phrase "a people which is bloodthirsty, vengeful, and calling for blood"?

And what, Michelle Landsberg, no accusations of media conspiracy tonight


I emailed Carol Fukunaga's office this morning to tell her that she's lost my vote.  She probably doesn't care about my one measly vote, but it pisses me off that she voted on this without even asking us, her constituents.


She always calls to say "I'm going to be working on my tan so don't be getting that stepladder out like you always do!"


There was NO secrecy regarding the funding offered to Canada's Dept of Fisheries & Oceans (DFO) to study the northwest Pacific marine environment and fisheries in early 2010.  The money was to be distributed with federal oversight.  Originally, Harper's government accepted the partnership offered to Tides of a grant of $8.3-million from the Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation. The Foundation wanted to work with the DFO through a partnership with Tides.  Gordon Moore was a successful creative businessman and engineer who set up INTEL which developed efficient integrated circuits. Ever heard of Moore's Law?
Eight months after agreeing to the deal, Harper cancelled it after Enbridge lobbied against the study because the company thought the results might be used against its planned terminal for its proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline.  This was all laid out in the media, and the government had, and the public could find, all the details relating to the marine study and the Enbridge proposal.


go back to where you came from we wont miss you


Not many women bricklayers, carpenters, plumbers, welders, roofers, crane operator, backhoe operators, or electricians either.  But that is where the reality of the wage difference is.


I had not heard of Milo until the Berkley riots that cancelled his appearance.  Although I fin his speech vulgar at times,( it seems that is the way university students speak anyway, or anyone under 30), I do find a lot of truth in what he says.  He can be thought provoking, articulate, and quite funny.

The podcast that caused his cancellation at CPAC and the book deal he had was cleverly edited by people who thought he was getting too popular and needed to be shut down.  I listened to the whole thing, before the controversy, and although the language again was cringe-worthy, he did NOT endorse pedophilia, nor changing the age of consent for sexual relations.  It is clearly said in the last 3 mins of the podcast.

George Takai can joke about child molestation, Lena Dunham about molesting her sister over a 10 year period, women can march with pink hats symbolizing a woman's reproductive parts, but let a conservative gay man speak out and he is shut up by a smear campaign.  go figure


Actually not in Administration. "Transportation Supervisor"  misprint and a member of SW OPTA which is the organization that puts this event on each year. Was very interesting and hope we never have to go through something like this ever.


If it is used with primary intent being to kill people then yes gasoline is a weapon. Obviously.


Legislation that is intended to get 'tough on crime, rarely have their desired effect, just look at California's 3 strike rule as an example. Also, prison population in Institutions are up by 3, but that's just one slice of the pie and does not accurately represent the the entire picture.

I dont want to pay $60,000 PER YEAR to keep someone locked up who shouldn't be. I'd rather spend it on schools, roads, veterans etc.


Is silly...4 in the afternoon....door left ajar and no one notices until the next day....


My Chickasaw grandma, and her 12 children, thumbed a ride to Oregon from Oklahoma to escape abject poverty. That was 1942. My family lived in a one room dirt floor shanty for lack of affordable housing. Oregon invested in affordable starter homes to address this social crisis. By the time my mother came into adulthood this housing was so affordable that as a widow raising 2 children on 1 paycheck she was able to buy a 3 bedroom home in Portland to raise her kids in, and she bought a 3 bedroom in The Dalles for my Grandma. By 1981 this housing was so affordable these homes could be purchased earning the federal minimum wage. High density planning outlawed these homes because they not meet Y value, and cannot be taxed enough to sustain government spending. This is what specifically caused poverty, homelessness to explode after Oregon had poverty, affordable housing soundly beat. we can readily end poverty, homelessness today but our government will not allow true affordable housing.


I think it's sad that you've been driving Chrysler cars since 1981.


This is not news. It was obvious several years ago that our State economy would be sharply reduced with billions removed from Dividends and State spending. This contraction will affect every aspect of our economy and we are far from seeing the final shakeout to come. Add to that a broad-based tax to suck even more money out of the economy. Folks we are headed back to 1978. Its not all bad - more room at the fishing hole, less traffic on the roads, etc. It is said there is more opportunity in a recession than a boom - I guess we will find out if that is true. If not for the $55 billion Permanent Fund enabling us to sustainably plug the budget hole up to $2.7 billion/year we would be in a real world of hurt.


Despite what the right-wing media you follow tells you, I know of no abortion clinics on public university grounds, so your straw man argument is already fatally flawed.

Regarding the armed law-abiding citizen saving the day in some bad situation, I concede that it might happen, and has in very rare instances.  But a far more plausible situation is that an armed law-abiding citizen transforms into an armed law-breaking citizen when your daughter cuts him off in traffic then flips him the bird after he tailgates her and lays on his horn.  Road rage happens.  Having a gun at your fingertips might prove irresistible in the moment.  You can always hope that some other armed law-abiding citizen comes to the rescue...


Democrats have been fearmongering about the racist, sexist republicans as long as I have been alive. And much longer. Read some of the democrat fearmongering about republicans during and before the civil war, the democrats supporting the slave states of the south. The fearmongering today is the same, different words only.


There are security guards in the capitol building but no metal detectors, last time I checked.


this guy is crazy, he still does not feel that he had done anything wrong.  he is totally in denial.  guess the repubs are so desperate for a candidate, they will also take criminals.


Who created the controversy?  The mother?  Crazy!


Do they lump "Asian" kids in with "white" kids?  Because if you look at the population of many of these programs, there is a  very high proportion of Asian kids.  Or does the TDSB feels it's politically incorrect to single out Asians, but whites are ok?  And many of these Asians are immigrants who have managed to rise to the top with the first Canadian-born generation.  If the TDSB examined why that's happening, they may have the answer as to why it isn't happening with "racialized" students.   Perhaps that's a harder problem to fix.  And not all these Asians are landing here with buckets of money.  The ones in my son's gifted class didn't have much and both parents were working very hard to make a go of it.


Not to mention that she was new in that position and presumably the person who left that position was more experienced and quite possibly started at the same starting salary that she's been offered.


"3. Medicare, which most doctors don't accept because of the low payments and which has to be supplemented with private insurance."

This is patently false.  93% of physicians accept Medicare.  Among specialists, Medicare is nearly universally accepted.


Hope you guys still got those M60 machine guns mounted on the roof of your armored personnel carriers. Give it 'em. We will acquit you, for sure.


So, the candidate that had repeatedly stated she would place a no fly zone over Syria , an action that would bring the United States into direct armed conflict with Russia, and the candidate that was directly challenging Russia over it's " annexation" over a piece of Ukraine that has been in the Russian sphere of influence since Catherine The Great and is  home to the Russian Black sea fleet....and the candidate who equated Putin with Hitler , is shocked to find out that the Russians possibly tried to influence the American election such that she was defeated and the other guy was elected....I'm shocked actually myself, shocked....if nations who spy on each other routinely, who engage in proxy wars against each other throughout the world, and who have thousands of nuclear weapons aimed at each other,  start to engage in this sneaky type of political manipulation...well, it could get the other guy angry.!!


Rasmussen.

All those other polls are fake news.  They were wrong during the election and they are wrong now.


Without Russia's intervention in this conflict, this brutal war would have continued forever.

USA and Saudi Arabia (+Gulf States) just wished for another regime change in the region. They supported and financed terrorists/extremists/mercenaries to accomplish their task. The death of hundred of thousands of civilians and Syrian government soldiers meant nothing to them.

There is nothing much to love about Assad. There is even less to love about the Islamic extremists winning (aka: "moderate rebels" by CIA).

They failed to transform Syria into the next Libya. For the time being.......


Then why did you ask?


Solidarity is typically group think, creativity is more individualistic. The two rarely mix. Nothing said on this forum is likely to amount to much, it's a way to let off steam more than anything. Expecting to find "common ground" AND a workable solution to this gargantuan problem is a fools errand, not gonna happen. Now if you can invent a money tree...


So his response to Syria is to blame Obama. Now this is a POTUS will some really solid plans for foreign relations.
BTW, seems we've been sending troops to Syria but since all military decisions has been given tour generals, they saw fit not to report any troop buildup I the Middle East.
So....North Korea is Obama's fault too so, ..to steal a quote...."What you gonna do Willis"?


Reading the corporate progressives and military industrial SJWs hate for Trump here, one might forget that Trump's comment contained not a single word of support for any white supremacists.  His only "offense" is he condemned violence inclusively.  Shame on him.


I've seen way older people hanging out there. I think they need to drop the whole youth thing and be honest with the public.


Cat 4


Huh?
We pick and choose what to criticize, what to affirm, among Papal teachings, but we are not Cafeteria Catholics? How do you reconcile your first paragraph with the last?
Dei Verbum says “the Church, in her teaching, life and worship, perpetuates and hands on to all generations all that she herself is, all that she believes.” That includes what the Pope says today as well as what has been said before. Criticizing multi religious meetings in Assissi is possible only in the Cafeteria.


JUST A THOUGHT:
A question was given to Max, why the background checks weren't done earlier.  His EXCUSE was to do a background check on 24 candidates would be a lengthy process (how many months has it been already).  The candidates were then cut to 9.  And after another process, their are now 7 finalist.   So now they are doing background checks on the 7 finalist.   Hmmm.  I'm not the brightest person but,  if they find background discrepancies with any, or all of the 7 finalist,  the commission would have had the opportunity to eliminated these candidates long ago.  Meaning we could have been looking at totally different names as the finalist for the Chiefs position.


Pitino said he didn't know anything he just signed the checks.


I have set up a rival fund; Trudeau Urgent Retirement Depository.

What?! Nooooooo...Say it ain't so Joe


Who cares who supports them.  They can support whoever they want.  None of your business.  Just concentrate on the lei.


The suggestion that  Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency didn't adequately consult is absolutely ridiculous. The first nations consulted include: Lax Kw’alaams Band; Metlakatla First Nation; Gitxaala Nation; Kitsumkalum First Nation; Kitselas First Nation; Gitga’at First Nation; Office of the Wet’suwet’en; Gitanyow Hereditary Chiefs; Takla Lake First Nation; Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs, including Wilp Delgamuukw, Wilp Gwininitxw, and Wilp Luutkudziiwus (Gitxsan).
In addition, written submissions were also provided by First Nations who were not directly affect by the pipeline. There is absolutely no reason why Simogyet Malii didn't participate.


It is my most fervent prayer that a year from now this imposter will be impeached and pretty far from the White House.


News Flash:
CO2 isn't pollution. Plants and humans depend on it.


Same old BS.

Seriously....who the F * # K is S-A polling??? People that have NEVER flown? People that consider a "big trip", a family vacation in Hilo???

Do they even KNOW what an airport authority IS, versus the pathetically inept, Hawaiian kine state gov "management" that we're currently stuck with???

This poll is highly suspect ...


So you make a good point about hypocrisy. By the belief in a religion, and in fact the worship and prayer involved for the purity of ones life on this earth. It astounds me that the cult members are usually the most egregious examples of not being cleansed of hypocrisy.
We could start with the actions of priests and move right up to beheadings, for gods will.


No, it's not "senseless."

Don't have to support either Clinton or Trump.

You know why ?

Because both stink !!!

You, Muricans, haven't really had a decent President since FDR


The writer identified some options available to the Government of Canada. Our Constitution explicitly provides another option (which Quebec could not overcome by using the override in s. 33 of the Charter).  The 1867 Constitution (the one we just celebrated Canada 150 for) contains an extraordinary  clause allowing the federal Government to disallow any provincial law within one year of it being passed. Lest you think the power has not been used, it was used 66 times between 1867 and 1896, 30 times between 1896 and 1920 (19 of those times when BC took racist measures against its Chinese, Japanese and Sikh populations) and 16 times between 1920 and 1943, when it was last used to disallow a WWII Alberta law against land sales to Hutterites and "enemy aliens".  Decades ago, there was pressure on PM Trudeau Sr to disallow the Quebec language law.

Not saying that PM Trudeau Jr would do this, but it's a 'legal' (albeit probably not politically palatable) option.


Bork's claim about $21,000 gross without benefits is correct but on the high side. Adjuncts by law are allowed to teach a maximum of four courses per semester at CCA. To make $21,000, an adjunct would have to teach 4 courses both fall and spring semester and one course in the summer (9 courses per year). In comparison, full-time faculty gross between $41,000 and $48,000 plus medical benefits and are required to teach 5 courses in spring and 5 in fall along with other departmental requirements. So adjuncts make around $2,300 per course no medical benefits while full-time make around $4,100 plus medical. To make a living in the Denver area, many adjuncts will teach the full load of 4 courses at one community college and another 4 courses at another community college, and other adjuncts take part-time jobs outside teaching. Teaching more than 5 courses a semester really affects the quality of instruction because the instructor is overloaded with prep, grading, commuting, and teaching.


Prem's self-serving opinion by a 1%'er. He is fostering a climate of a hard crash because it benefits his hedge bets. A softer decline (which all hope will happen) does not make him any money. Yes, it can end badly, but not as high as 50% of fin institutions. ...but that appears to be his wish. Good luck all.


Yep. Same thing happened in the US. Trump's landslide electoral victory over Hillary was unexpected in part because  thousands of citizens hid their true voting intentions from pollsters, or in many cases actively deceived them by claiming to vote for Clinton. The media made the mistake of portraying Trump as a socially unacceptable choice. It backfired on them big time.


when will there be civil unrest and protests over fukushima nuclear waste pouring into our oceans? how about a protest over the poison fluoride added to drinking water? seriously this was a faux protest which solved nothing.


Great analysis, but I don't know how you figure Oregon "should have won 36-35." Nebraska surely would have gone for two at some point.

In any case, Helfrich got outcoached.


This advisory council continues to miss the mark. Many of their recommendations like more immigration, higher retirement age, higher participation rate, etc., actually do nothing to help the millions of Canadians who are either unemployed or underemployed. Increasing labour supply further wouldn't help with high labour supply issue.


Correctly stated, we now find the Liberals announcing that will spend big on the military.

Announcements and photo ops are easy.  Will it ever happen? Doubtful.


Time to make sellers sweat it out for a change. Their greed knows no bounds. The nerve that they relisted their homes at a higher price because they didnt get the price they wanted.


This is a great addition to Kailua's ever expanding foodie selections!  Well done, hopefully you will outlast yum yum tree and pinky's!


"We could try to overcome this together, if you are willing to put in the work".
That is the just point! What I can or anyone else do that would change the fact 70% of black children are being born to single women? What can I do that will stop the killing of innocent black individuals by other blacks? What law or regulation can I help get passed that will have any influence on the issues I mentioned?


A budget is not spending. An appropriation is authorization to spend. Outlays are spending. Receipts minus outlays equal the surplus or deficits.

The fact you don't understand how government works doesn't imply a conspiracy or impropriety.


WoW! The Democrats/Liberals finally believe their own conclusions that's it's all about climate change who would have thought they wouldn't create more State jobs using taxpayers money?


I don't understand why Jack Phillips did not acknowledge the Colorado Public Accommodation Law which prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation.  The law requires anyone who sells goods and services to the public to offer the full range of those goods and services to everyone.  Was Jack Phillips aware of this law when he choose to operate his business in Colorado?  Not every state has this prohibition in its Public Accommodation Law.  Jack Phillips could certainly move to another state and do business there if he doesn't accept the laws in our state.  I think the couple that came to him for a wedding cake probably assumed that Colorado Law protected their right to have a wedding cake just like any other couple who came to that bakery.  I don't think they had any idea they would be subject to discrimination.


No, the article says he was charged with a DUI, but the case was dismissed. That's very different.


Glad to see that the 2 are being made to pay back the full cost of the damage they caused.  Plus community service for punishment.


I'm a bit of a hippy, but I don't like him much.


No degree for me in TM, never claimed to have one, in fact I pointed that out earlier. How bout you, do you have one? Oh that's right, you don't need one, your the "genius" who can fix any complex problem with a simple solution. You said it here:

"I have a history of having no qualifications or training in a specific field, yet seeing simplistic solutions to problems which no one else sees, of applying my solutions and of enjoyment in the satisfaction of watching the entire world embrace my solutions. "

 So make it simple for us, lay out your plan for putting a new 6 lane bridge and accompanying infrastructure across the Willamette for 20 mil( or anything remotely close to it). Do it here, now or if you like I'm sure the RG would give someone with your pedigree and superior vision the space to make your case as a 'guest viewpoint'. How about it, Gene? The entire world(well maybe just Eugene) breathlessly awaits your solution.


As long as we are on this historical retribution kick, there is a long list of other long dead figures who have statues that need to be removed because their actions or beliefs, accepted in their lifetimes, do not fit our 21st century standards.  George Washington, Jefferson, most of Britain's monarchs up until Victoria, a large assortment of Popes, Roman emperors, European monarchs... it is a long list.  Supporting slavery; the inquisition; murdering opponents; starting wars; ...these are the kinds of things they all got up to in their day.


She is HOT !


Actually it was the Subway, and then it was in very short order last year that other kid got killed on the Old Glenn with THC and other fun substances in his system.

"Housing prices are soaring here thanks to the tech industry..."

Nope, blame the greedy landlords. The tech workers are the ones they target, not the ones doing the targeting.


How about the number of children who are hit in school zones by parents driving their kids to school? I started walking to school when I was 5, this included crossing a fast moving creek and along roads without sidewalks in the 1970s. The only person I ever knew who was hit by a car was a friend when we were cycling to school in grade 9 and he ran a stop sign.
Parents today have become so overprotective and do everything for their kids, except teach to be accountable for their decisions and actions, no wonder they are lacking independence.


"Alaska has a serious leadership problem after years of unsustainable budgets. This is a cash flow management problem, not a full-blown fiscal crisis. What we have is a self-inflicted political crisis that select members of the political establishment are using to reduce your share of the PFD."

Well put - Thanks, Jack.


Agree.

But it irks me that I can't income share with him.


A car is nothing more than a ticking time bomb. Leasing makes perfect sense in many circumstances. I lease because I get a vehicle that is brand new, under warranty, and I accept that I will be making payments related to a vehicle in one way or another for most of my adult life. Those payments will be lease payments, financing, repairs, maintenance, etc. Your assumption that my decision to lease makes me a "poseur" is inane.


The Bishops are frankly human beings, though Ordained under the significant establishment through the order of the Priesthood. A Sacramental gift. But, their error in humanity (hence, sin. The inclination to do wrong. Everyone is prone to do doing wrong at more or less a degree/level.) That is quite what people have forgotten. The Church began to teach real rights and wrongs (moral authority of truth.) And then the pandemic sexual revolution started to play up within Her own walls. That cultural phenomenon did historically occur when in parallel a vast majority of the cases of child sex abuse by priests occurred. Under the clout of the sexual revolution did sexual predators within the Church, Her walls, and the cloak of a priest use that as a cover. Wherefore, these predatory men find vulnerable children to seek/vex/gratify themselves upon (like wolves.) Thus, to pretend the sexual revolution was an isolated occurrence, would be inaccurate and faulty.


Can I have your tickets if you are a season ticket holder? I just like to drink beer and tailgate.


Yet another convenient Canadian.


No, not at all. The conservatives opposed the revolution and the Declaration of Independence. The liberals of that time wrote it.


Say Keon, should we allow drunk driving?  Should we do away with seat belts?  Hell why even have cops on the street.  Let people speed as not all speeders are involved in accidents?  Wake up.  You are arguing for death.  So typical of so called conservatives.


There is no evidence he was a Christian, where does that come from? Or are you assuming that any white Canadian is "Christian"?


Dang lady, you must live a horribly depressing life. Everything is just falling apart for you, isn't it? Do you need a safe place?
