The reality of this is that Trump was treating this vile reporter like any other vile liar reporter regardless of his race, sex or handicap.  Progressives should be proud!  Right!


One important fact that needs to be arrived at is - "After ten years of rail GET surcharge payments, how much has the average person on Oahu actually paid".  The state has collected about 2 Billion dollars.  Once we know how much each of us has actually paid, we can then multiply that number by four - to arrive at what each of us needs to pay in order to get to 8 Billion- the total needed from Oahu rail GET surcharge payments to complete the project.  The city has never talked about this.  Only the Tax Foundation of Hawaii has looked at this number.  Their estimate is around $200.00 per person per year.  I do not want to pay $8,000.00 for this project.


It seems Senzatela has not been the same since his return from the bullpen role. I was wondering if he would make it out of the first inning the way it was going.

Diaz looks nothing like the guy we saw glimpses of prior to his Tommy John other than he can hit triple digits on occasion.  There is no reason for him to be up at this level right now. We already have one Lyles and don't need another.

I sort of figured the offense would struggle as they typically do on the start of a road trip but it looked pretty pathetic especially with it being on ESPN.

Now the team has lost 11 of its last 13 road games. Not the direction you want to head in a tightening race


Is this true justice, or is Donald J Trump in net effect now pardoning homicidal misogynist monsters with the Federal immigration system by removing their victims from the field before justice can be cultivated? Inquiring minds want to know.


KS,
I am aware of your crusade to blame public school teachers and administrators obscene salary's for the desperate condition of the state budget. If I had to decide who got the largest piece of the pie, I believe they should be rewarded.
The professionals who work for our educational system can hardly be considered wealthy when one considers their training and value to the community. Garbage persons and plumbers are well paid also.
I wouldn't recommend balancing the budget on their backs. Obviously, there are inequities, but the principle of paying teachers an attractive wage results in attracting qualified faculties.


"Congress is now more polarized than at any time since Civil War Reconstruction."

For that, a big shout out to the current occupant Barack Hussein Obama, posing as The Great Uniter.

FLASHBACK***MANCHESTER, N.H., Aug. 14, 2007 -- Drawing a sharp contrast with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, his main rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Barack Obama said in an interview that he has the capacity she may lack to unify the country and move it out of what he called "ideological gridlock."

In eight miserable years, Obama has done more damage to America than ten George W Bush's.  And that doesn't even include the addition of $9 trillion to our national debt, more than nearly all presidents before him combined.


Maybe "a broad, high-quality liberal arts education, one that promotes critical thinking via exposure to the sciences, social sciences, humanities and arts" was irrelevant to them instead of being "good and too expensive".

The 'critical thinking' seems to me to be more like regimented, politically correct thinking when I glance over at the Duck U side of the world today.

They, like Berkeley, no longer desire to hear opposing concepts or views.   The elites have determined the desired correctness and all others are apostates at best and heathens most often.


Once again the common denominator in all of this has been missed, Gordon Butts He has and did destroy Ontario, and now has his sights  set  on Canada. Junior, Whyne and Mcnutty  do not have the brains to pull off this destruction. Mean while India and China are going to build 1000 more coal fired generators that do not even have scrubbers. So what w are doing amounts to nothing in the big scheme of things. One thing it does do is allow  Trudeau to grab more taxes on a perceived moral high ground as Canada dies a slow death.


The story is from the Washington Post...The paper that hired dozens of reports just to stop Trump at all costs....they have lied and spun everything since the beginning and this is just more of their garbage..!!!


When Washington spoke, the vote was intentionally limited to those who the elites of the day thought would/could exercise is wisely.

Educated property holders, primarily.

Since then, we have insisted on forcing registration on anyone one party or the other thinks will vote for its politicians.


Hypothetical question: how does President Trump respond if Putin makes an aggressive move toward Canadian sovereignty in the Arctic?


Then they can't vote against it, can they? So you should support such a vote! Besides, what are you saying -- 85% of income tax payers would actually be.... residents?? That goes against everything we've heard from the left, how an income tax would fall so heavily on all these non-residents.


I'm sure he lost that $916 million on purpose. Now if the rest of America was only as smart as him and didn't pay any taxes. What a great country we would live in.


As a Canadian, you don't do business in China unless you are selling raw materials or unprocessed foodstuffs.


How blind are you people accusing Trump for what he says and does,
Look back on how Hitler became into power, Just like most dictators like the North Korean ass, And not anyone is or was willing in the past to stand up to him,
The only problem also lies in the fact the asses who were in power prior to all this mess let and used China to become another ungodly mess. Entrepreneurs of disgust, all of you are to blame !
Come on you brilliant minds who are willing to rant and rave to say talks will solve this, Your heads are full of dung, Not one communist dictator will ever follow what is called Gods way, For the way of God is love, NOT DICTATORSHIP, and you that is all of you have thrown gods laws out with the baby in the tub ! Your all sick stupid and blind and can't see past the end of your nose which you are sitting on !


Wiliki lies again.   No one said rail fare will be $20.    It is likely $20 (the actual cost) for someone to ride round trip but the rider will pay a few dollars and tax payers will cover the shortfall (again).


The goal should be to serve the Lord, not to try to get applause.


A for effort.  But if you've got any sense, you won't participate in this lottery.


Heartbreaking news. Prayers for him, his family and friends.


Senator Carper, you are a disgusting hyperpartisan feeble little man.  You embarrass America.


$1,850 a month to rent a 400 sq ft studio?????
Why isn't the federal government declaring an emergency and taking drastic action???
Oh yeah Trudeau cares more about people outside Canada than those inside.
And the BC Liberals are no better.


I agree with Quebecers , there should be NO exclusion or special privileges because of religion!!


And now, as has happened so many times, Church teaching is being changed.


The Fed position on health transfers makes sense.   It is consistent with that of the previous government.

Alas, if only they were consistent in making and keeping to tough decisions.

So far, they have seemed to demonstrate that the world is full of free lunches.   It is nice to be able to "do" good things in the world - but reality has a hard bite to it.   Debts run up today for operational items - will have to serviced (and hopefully paid back) in the future.

Enough of the passing of the buck.   If you want more of something you have to be willing to stop something else.


Burnsie: I heard that one, too, or was I dreaming about all those enlightened buttons and flashing keyboards?


The 1% capitalists have nothing to do with or in common with this unique businessman and his operation.  The 1%ers operate with their own created paper totally divorced from actual production, sales, and operations.  They sit on top of their pyramids of greed without ever getting their hands dirty while they gobble up more and more of the economy into their monopolistic dictatorship.  J.C. Penny is long gone from the mining days and just another player in the Wall Street Casino.  Modern Corporate Capitalism is operated by paper shufflers, multi-millionaire managers, and interlocking boardrooms looking to gobble up every successful entrepeneur-created operation to suck the lifeblood from it and throw the humans involved to the unemployment lines.  Individually-created and owned business is the antithesis of the current Corporate Amerika Dictatorship.


How shallow! J.D. says it as it is without being beholden to anything or anyone. Just shedding light on this mindless, empty, shallow medium of so called entertainment that has no value or depth or meaning and produces individuals like Carey who once was a respectable artist.


If you really want to know what's killing the steelhead just have Senator Murray go knock on the front door of Bangor sub base and ask the $750,000 question of "What did you do?" Obviously it's not the bridge it's what's on the other side of the bridge and that would be Bangor sub base. Or, the oxygen depravation of the water in conjunction with the toxic algae blooms has created a toxic soup that nothing should be able to survive in ... but my money is on the Navy did it.


In addition to my previous comments:
-Calgary gets a lot of snow throughout the winter season and having exposed areas to both the public and residents is not a plus - snow removal is also an issue
- Elevated courtyard would provide a security concern for those who are walking by the building at dusk or dawn as you cannot see who is in there from the street. And it would not add to the goal of the redevelopment plan - to add people to the street via sidewalk tables, benches, chairs etc.
-Steps up to the courtyard from the Avenue provide a barrier to people to enter the space, both physically and visually.
- Having stairs egress from the courtyard to the back alley is perplexing as there is no current traffic flow that would suggest anyone would want to cut through the back alley, especially at dusk or dawn - security is again a concern for the area.
While I think that the bldg design is interesting, the overall size, scale and design of the bldg is not appropriate for the area.


Is that why Venus and Mars have exactly the same climate that the Earth does? Oh, wait ...


Oh please.......the stick up his petard would never allow him to benefit from the effects of the herb.


Great article. But unfortunately tRump and his followers would not be able to understand the content of any of those books and clearly does not value or understand the American Constitution that has allowed him  to have all of the privileges he and his family are able to enjoy without ever having fought for his country, actually manufacturing excuses ( and likely using his family's money) to avoid military service! VERY SAD!!!!


Angela Wright, who worked under Thomas at the EEOC before he fired her, decided not to testify, but submitted a written statement alleging that Thomas had pressured her for a date and had made comments about the anatomy of women. Thomas's second wife, Virginia Lamp, aide to right wing congressman Dick Armey, remained active in conservative politics, serving as a consultant to the Heritage Foundation, and as founder and president of Liberty Central. In 2011, she opened a conservative lobbying firm, touting her "experience and connections", meeting with newly elected Republican congressmen and describing herself as an "ambassador to the tea party". 74 Democratic members of the House of Representatives wrote that Thomas should recuse himself on cases regarding the Affordable Care Act, due to "appearance of a conflict of interest" based on the work of his wife.  between 2003 and 2007 Thomas failed to disclose $686,589 in income earned by his wife from the Heritage Foundation.


OH, DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN ... THANK YOU FOR THIS REBUTTAL TO ISER TRASH!

ISER "experts" have been central supporters of WELFARE SOCIALISM in Alaska for decades.  Handing money out ... does not end poverty.  It encourges poverty producing lifestyles.


I disagree with Francis that God's people need or even want  a mediator between God and us.


This is not a surprise, it is how free-market economics works.

"Many of us" knew ahead of time that this would be the result.


Hard to believe we are going down this path once again.
In Colorado, if you are a business open to the public, you are your service or product must be open to all the public.  Our rules are quite clear about discrimination based on sexual orientation: you cannot legally do it.
What will be most interesting to the SCOTUS will be the fact that no message for the cake was ever discussed.  The couple was denied simply due to their sexual orientation, not because of any "objectionable" message they wanted on their cake.
Textbook illegal discrimination.


So lets work this through

400,000 immigrants a year get 2-5K a month forever.
50,000 Syrians make 10K a month in refugee salaries
Drugs addicts have injection sites
Drug addicts are dying from overdoses Govts want more taxes to keep deadbeats alive
Teachers make 120K a year
Nurses make 150K a year
Janitors make 100k a year cleaning school toilets
Average publoc sector worker makes 90K + full pensions.

My total taxes doubled this decade
I can't get surgery for a medical issue
It's time to move to panama
Where's our Trump


If you are in Ontario. take a close look at the expiry dates on the license plates of those fancy cars.  I see more plates expiring in the current month than I do in more than a year.  If people had the money, they would be buying two year license renewals, not waiting until the last minute.


Don't worry, Richard, you need not defend Assad. Russia is doing that in every possible way.

Have no fear, your guy will never be brought to justice.


I agree.  Not only will the Middle East be less secure, but there will be more violence in the West.  This will only inflame tensions around the world.


make up your own story line. you seem to know everything.


Nothing to do with "having guts". He was elected, in part, because of his position to repeal a failed ACA, the same way over a thousand Democrats lost their jobs.


Hoping Don Olson don't jump the line from D to R after we elect him as D. At least give us a reason next time.  Lisa whispers a command and there goes Negeak.  Why didn't someone challenge Foster from Nome?  Another wanna be Republican.  Okay guys from the North, lets see how you deal this year! Negeak has to be replaced!


Drugs are bad. Tell your friends.


This isn't racism or they wouldn't have hired him in the first place. It's about boundaries. As a teacher, I can't find a radio station that I can let my class listen to where bitch, MF, killing and degrading women isn't a big part of it. I looked hard and found several artists who are great, students love them and get a lot of work done while listening, and they are clean. You want to talk about your experience, do it, but not so descriptively in a family atmosphere. Do it in a club with other adults who can appreciate the language and understand the story of life already.


Finally, change I can believe in !

That certainly reduced the polls to meaninglessness, with "all" and "most",

48% of Americans call themselves "pro-life" and 45% "pro-choice". (Gallup)

Americans who profess no religious identity are  heavily pro-choice, at 80%, followed by liberals and Democrats, among whom pro-choicers outnumber pro-lifers by at least 2-1.

The strongest pro-life skew is among Republicans and conservatives, of whom about two-thirds are pro-life. Slight majorities of Catholics, Protestants, non-whites, Southerners, and seniors are also pro-life.

But when SPECIFIC procedures are posed to those polled, even a majority of "pro-choice" Americans favor banning certain procedures, banning certain reasons for abortion, and banning abortions outright after a certain point in the pregnancy, which belies the "64%-32%" black and white fiction.


Yeah, but can just carry a poncho and wear it if get rain. As a Biki user, that's what I plan to do.


It is nothing more than politics. Trump chose a person who is not a bureaucrat to head the DOE. Paper pushing bureaucrats are filled with ideas made obsolete with the passing times.


the republican party is on its last dying breath.


As the father of a wonderful young lady, I can tell you that even in the homes that are full of love, young women do have moments of depression. When this happens, you don't attack, you don't pick apart, you circle the wagons and shower them with love and understanding. Now, you eventually have to dig down and find the cause, which with a young person, is not easy. However, you have to stay the course and lift them out of it. Often times, being patient is the key. Only in extreme cases are medications needed. I am so proud of my kid. She is a wonderful young woman and watching her grow up has been an honor. Good times and bad, love is often the answer.


The US is a country that is, in many respects, in long term decline. The fact that some white males are doing very very well does not make life any easier for the millions of marginally employed (or unemployed) blue collar males across the country. Many of the factories that used to employ large numbers of such men shut down long ago. There is lots of blame to go around and spending trillions of (current) dollars on military adventures abroad over the past 60+ years has made matters worse.


Impeached for what?  Not being a big enough statist or the correct flavor of statist?

I don't mind anyone calling the Donald mentally unfit so long as they recognize that the anti-liberty "landing under sniper fire" lady is a sociopath.


Fact check this: what is the current value of the back log of infrastructure CIP projects such as repair and replacement of City sewer lines, roads, water lines, rental housing, parks, housing for the homeless etc.  If the City were to complete all that is needed right now, the City would be broke.  So it is one big charade. The excellent bond rating is partly because cash is sitting in the bank instead of being spent on needed infrastructure improvements and City provided services. Shall we discuss categorically all services that the City is responsible for and if money is needed to fund say HPD, senior housing and related services, public transportation (excluding the rail) etc. Taxpayers are tired of hearing rhetoric and half truths by politicians. If the story is told, then please provide the true and complete facts.
And with respect to the rail project: I am requesting a true cost to complete the rail project and a line by line explanation of why the rail escalated by $3 billion.


One word. Koyaanisqatsi!


granted that there are more people on this island now and hiking is popular, but in my small kid time in the 60s-70s we all went into the mountains to hike, and i don't recall having so many falls or maybe it didn't make the news but back then it would be big news.  we used common sense and safety first.  my parents let us go whenever we wanted as long as we followed safety first.  we just told mom and dad where we going and what time we going come back and we followed it. we did all that without cell phones and we still all made it back safely.  so what is the difference from back then to the present.  the trails actually are even safer now than it was back then.  so something is not being reported. no respect for the aina!!


Additionally, the risk bicyclists take in having their bikes stolen is already a high "tax" to pay. And the risk is very high. Who would enforce it? Which bikes get taxed? Mountain bikes, not used on roads? Kid's bikes? The BMX bikes? The bikes that hang in my garage and never get ridden? The money raised would hardly offset the cost of enforcement and oversight. The overwhelming majority of bike owners also drive cars and pay taxes for those. Finally, why would we ever want to add yet another reason for people to drive over riding bikes?

This noise needs to stop.


Scott:

BINGO on reporting on Levine's comments on research reports. They are not INSTRUCTIONS. They are OPINIONS --  that can be ignored. Well chosen thought.

I've known a few Americans who came here from eastern Europe, and they almost all voted Republican. Now the Republicans have been taken over by Trump, the tea party, and Putin. I wonder if they've finally lost the old-school anti-communist vote?


The wording of the new ordinance is more solid then  before......it has been upheld In Federal courts....

What are people supposed to do, not fight the tyranny of the liberal mob because going to court costs $ ?

"We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men (people) are created = , they are endowed by their CREATOR w/ certain inalienable rights.......to secure these rights, Governments are instilled among men (people) and derive their power from the consent of the governed...."

The people of Kenai gave power to their assembly, and elected assemblypersons,  to secure their rights.....and the right they want protected by their elected assembly now is the right to acknowledge their CREATOR at the beginning of assembly meetings.

Almost ALL our founding fathers were for prayer before Gov. meetings and there are many quotes that show this

Hopefully this will hold until the next liberal idealist judge steps on the rights of  the people of Kenai that were endowed by their CREATOR


"Neo-Nazis are not a protected class"
===========
Neo-Nazis aren't and gays are.....simply because of a quirk in the timeline....a quirk in the decree by mankind......which is subject to change from country to country and from decade to decade.
-
Who and what is and is not "protected" according to "mankind" depends solely on who is the "top dog" at any moment in time.
-
Hitler is a good example that "nothing is written in stone".....unless it is written by God Himself.....and that the "sinfulness" of mankind can lead to disastrous results.


Moving to Montana or Idaho sounds pretty nice right about now.


Yet your attitude is that of a troublesome 1st grader...funny how that works.


“Progressives” can’t look objectively at any viewpoint not aligned with their own narrow view.   They can’t hear you - they’re shouting too loudly.


The public interest is best served by a ranked-ballot system and the NDP, which was given special extra representation on the parliamentary committee, never did the right thing, causing the whole process to fail. The NDP is 100% to blame for this and everybody knows it!


You mean like how there is no evidence Russia hacked the election?
What about the FISA warrant?


And one side wants a white-only United States. What, that is going to happen while everyone sings kumbaya?

I have to laugh every time the right pretends as if the alt-right stand for anything remotely American. They HATE and DESPISE America and everything it stands for. They'll only use the first amendment as long as they are out of power. If they ever seized power, it'd be the first thing to go.


No tax credits to industry unless they are tied contractually to verifiable development and production.

Tax credits should be an investment, not a giveaway.


No, you don't mean enough to me to offend me; merely irritated by insults and illiterate blathering.


Or just shut it down, or even better, let them focus on what the private sector doesn't do, such as the arts, but keep them out of politics.


"Your movement seems to be an attempt to prevent the poorest people of the world from developing their societies with cheap energy."

Wind and solar are cheaper than new coal and far more distributable. In short, you should learn more before you choose to lecture.

As for third worlders being served by solar and wind, you well behind the knowledge curve. One needn't build coal plants and their attendant grids to dramatically change people's lives.

Here's a starter for you.

I heard about Leah McLaren from comments in Margaret Wendt's article about Are Today's Dad's really so pathetic? I had to check it out. And I have kept an open mind.  But, reading her (McLaren's) work is like pulling hangnails. She has some good points, but her smugness against dads is quite telling. Her use of slang like 'snowflakes' and 'whevs' ('whatever' in a valley girl dialect?) is instructive. She talks about how much praise to give to children THEN switches to husbands, speaking as though men are like children and women are the adults who have to train their dogs. Her condescension is appalling.

One reason I am writing here is that Father's Day articles give back-handed insults to men. ("Kids are fat? - Blame dad") Happy Father's Day! Ms. McLaren should follow Janice Fiamengo who mentions the difficult, dirty, dangerous jobs done by men who get no gratitude. Bill Burr quipped "All the mothers with black lung!" And Oprah telling men to "BE BETTER!" a year ago with Ms. Obama.


That's a scurrilous re-writing of history moon howler, even by your low standards for veracity.

Khadr was indeed imprisoned before  Harper won election.
Chretien not helping Omar Khadr is on him and he was wrong.  (Chretien did intervene to get the father released from  Pakistan but that was even before the 9/11 bombing.)

Martin said he would get Khadr out of Guantanamo and no one howled harder against that than Harper and the Harperites.  Martin didn't follow through and that is on him.

Harper and the Harperites were warned repeatedly that they were in contravention of Canadian  law but they thumbed their noses and raised money from their political base on being "tough on terrorism/Khadr".

In a hurry to help soldiers?  Laughable; to pose, preen and pretend the billions Martin allocated for the move to Kandahar was their idea - that they did.

The Harperites howled to be in Afghanistan, extended the mission when in power and eventually pulled us out - pathetically. No honour.


In court and in life you judge justification, legal and moral, solely based on the information you had at the time. The guy who "would have shot but didn't have a gun" only gets to feel good about the outcome due to chance. Same situation with actual intruder and he and his family are potentially too dead to apply hindsight.

People do need to keep doors locked, even (especially) if they are home. I've never understood why unlocking and locking a door when you use it is seen as a burden.

" both Le Pen and Macron come from the right far right and centre right ...."

No, Macron is an opportunist who has refused to lay out a set of positions by agreeing with everybody. Essentially he is Hollande II, a nominal socialist financed by the extablishment that has done well no matter who forms the government. LePen is NOT far right no matter what the real right says and that is the crowd around Sarkozy, the guy who tried t appoint his 23 year old son as chairman of one of the largest state owned companies. LePen is a populist economically fairly left but socially conservative.

The socialist party of Hollande has collapsed but the socialists are still there; they voted for Hamon, for Melanchon, for Macron, for Toutou and a couple of others.

This election has proven nothing but the moribund state of the old parties.


That design makes sense because it eliminates a left turn across traffic onto westbound US 6. If there is an issue, it would be with the signage that explains how to do the maneuver through the circle and back to the onramp to 6. I haven't been on 19th since the interchange was completed, so I don't know what the signage looks like.


I'm in total agreement with his first point but his other 2 points are simply hyperbole and when he says " imposing a carbon tax to reduce Canada’s minuscule 1.6 per cent of global emissions is simply economic suicide.", well, that's just another, what's it called, oh yeah, a post-truth.


Nishikawa: There is a wide chasm between erasing history and celebrating it. Nobody anywhere is arguing that we shouldn't be teaching kids about the Confederacy or the people who served it. And most certainly they should know what it stood for. But public statues are not about education, they glorify the figures they represent. Can you see that venerating the people who fought to keep African Americans in bondage might be an impediment to improving race relations within the US?

Your Roman examples are not at all compelling. We don't look at those Emperors as heroes; that was the intent when their statues were built, but those people are long gone. Nobody takes the Roman Empire as a cultural model to be emulated. And certainly there is no effort to whitewash the brutality it represented.


It's the liberal way.


SJ,  Nice try, what tax is he also eliminating?  You may want to look-up for yourself how many countries have a Value Added Tax (VAT).  I know what a regressive tax is but thanks for supplying the link anyway.  I also recommend you read the entire plan instead of cherry picking something and distorting the plan.  Somebody else tried this exact same thing the other day, actually the same quote.  You really do crack me up.


sanctimonious - You are in error.  Most university codes of student conduct deal with these issues as sexual assault and harassment are both criminal and civil matters.  It is why workplaces also have such policies and do not leave it solely in the hands of the police and the criminal courts.

The problem has been even where there is a clear policy at a university it is not always applied as was seen in the Dalhousie University case involving the 13 dental students. Per the Dalhousie website:

"Students are also responsible for following all civil and criminal laws in Nova Scotia, violations of which are explicitly violations of the code and can also result in penalty from Dalhousie University.

The following are some of the offences found in the Code of Student Conduct:

Offences against persons (e.g. assault, sexual harassment, threats, endangering health and safety, discrimination, intimidation)"


Ah, but stills blow up, ElRey4.


Yes. What came from his pontificate? Because he was the culmination of  a few "wayward popes" Julius II, his successor,  found an appetite for the reforms of the Curia.  Much the same is happening now, After years of fundamentalism, secrecy and coverups Pope Francis is a breath of fresh air willing to lead the Church into the modern era, willing to see the workings of the Holy Spirit in the modern world, willing to look at changes and challenges that can bring back those who have left.  He is being a good shepherd looking for the lost sheep.  Chaput is pushing hungry sheep away.


China's puppet Trudeau isn't going to do any such thing.


It is quite possible that Alaska can not support a standing newspaper that is too complex and reliant on advertising. When I first came here, the ADN was only few pages long with lots of ads. I think Rogoff made the Dispatch a much better paper with more variety than previous. This will be interesting to follow, with the new owners.


Leigh Winner committed Treason, I don't care if she leaked classified information on Trump , Clinton , Obama or Sanders , She leaked classified information period ,


She wasn't 'spirited off', she remained in Halibut Cove. There was a doctor that checked her out immediately after the crash. The very first responder is a certified EMT that works at the Saltry, the restaurant close to where she landed. You silly people have to wait for the findings. All this is speculative nonsense. And, I'll add that what Brown said is spot on, RR NEVER posts anything positive about, for example, how well an athlete has done or someone that has made the best of a bad situation. Always nothing but negative spin with his special brand of weird uncle creepiness.


Why was the selected headline letter against saving the ocean in an ocean tourist depended state ? !
"Plastic bag ban will accomplish little" instead of the next letter "Follow Europe's renewable example" ?
Did any one read the article I quoted? Click on it UN Conference seeks unity on Ocean Conservation ?
"Humanity tips the equivalent of a large garbage truck of plastic in the ocean every minute of every day " !!!
8.8 million metric tons of plastic goes into the ocean every year ! The ocean is chocking on plastic ! Our country recycle rate of about 30 % is a joke and guess where the plastic is going ! How hard is it to bring reusable bags/basket's to a store when shopping ? Costco no bags no problem ? Reusable plate silver ware bowls cups are being used in the new food court at the International Market Place called "The Street "since it opened no problem . Look to Germany to see how it is done. Oktober Fest no garbage reusable dinner ware US fair tons garbage !


...so, you mean, he's a classic American success story?

First responsibility of the government is to protect the citizens. Every illegal alien/immigrant is exactly that, illegal, and are committing a crime. Even Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau has recently said the same thing, deflating the lib balloon of those who held him on a high pedestal. Clinton and Obama both supported higher deportations and building a more secure border. If the city and state want to have sovereignty and not cooperate, ok, but not with the support of our tax dollars. But they will be the first to be crying and calling the feds for support when MS13 or other criminal elements overrun the city.


The original news reported these were children-----
Nothing of the sort.
Extremely loud young adult ruffians who routinely annoy this family with a 1year old child late at night-
On this night they taunted the father relentlessly, and he had been drinking-
Baby and Mom now fatherless and homeless after being evicted. Nice job 'CHILDREN...'
Of course this doesn't excuse any use of firearms- that's not my point- the point is that there is always more to the story, and appropriate police actions and appropriate reporting would do a great service to this community... This is but one of dozens of local episodes of this sort.


I did 12 yrs until I couldn't anymore. My turns over. Now I just want the toys haha


Homelessness is a catchall phrase for a whole cadre of canadians from the mentally ill to the down and outers.

Their numbers are in the hundreds of thousands if not millions.

They should be a priority for our federal Govt, instead of $2.65 billion pledged to fight a pointless climate warning scam, $1.65 billion each year to the CBC, over $2 billion to bring in 50,000 immigrants and $465 million to upgrade the BOC..........and hundreds of other lower priority expenditures.

 Why not devote some of the $115 billion in deficit spending over the next 4 years to such a worthy cause.

But that wont happen.

The wealthy oligarchs controlling Trudeau don't give a shit for these canadian deplorables.


We all know she really wants the Senate. Instead of bullying her way around town, she should sit down, shut up, wait for the seat to open up, and stop being scared of Tulsi Gabbard.


And you say that I am the one that needs education, Ma'am (or Sir)!


Grown. Be Woke


It was a horrible idea to let Herbert start this, last thing our freshman needed is to be drug through the mud in his first start.


The tenant said he just came out of a divorce, gained custody of his children, and his ex wife ruined his credit. Unfortunately, I tried to help him out. He did not have a credit score and he used a false ss# on his application and so there were no red flags on the background check. He provided a w2 form showing that he made over 160k a year and had a great recommendation from his previous landlord.


"What it will impact are republicans in the 2018 elections. And 2020 after that. It'll be a bloodbath."  You actually believe climate change will be a bloodbath issue?  LOL  Are you being serious, or sarcastic. Hard to tell.


This all makes me sick to my stomach.  Where to begin?


Wynne will not be cutting health care spending before the elections, she will do it after because it's not a popular choice. She already has a new source of income from carbon tax to cover the shortage until that time, so she will be balancing the books before the elections from our pockets.


lifestyle choice?  And when exactly did you choose to be straight instead of gay?


You're stretching your point a bit, don't you think? From World War II to some nut with a gun? Really???


Boots, 8 years and 9 trillion!! Apparently that was not enough money or time. And it would be better to not follow the lead of bloggers referring to the President in derogatory terms; it only alienates readers from your comments. The name calling isn't necessary.


You are correct Chris it is simple bigotry. Humans are inherently bigots as we inherently do not like non-conformance. Which is human nature, like it or hate it.

Personally, I will not vote for anyone who shows any religious bias. As I think religious people are insane fundamentally. (They are of the same caliber of people that think the world is flat)


Seems in my part of northern Ontario the newly declared FN people and in particular Metis people is on the rise in a big way. Whether it is them recognizing their heritage or for tax purposes or unregulated resource harvesting rights I'm not the one to say. It sure could be contributing to the "increase in the population" as much or more than higher birthrates.


You're such a deliriously deranged Trumpski that you're a parody of Trumpsters...
Faced with reality, you deny it...


After what Justin did with his Bahama trip and helicopter ride we deserve to have some transparency. We are after all paying for the security details for his highness' vacations.


Absolutely. The fundamental problem is alienation of our youth. They look for a culture with no self-doubt.

The wishy-washy ideology of multiculturalism, where everyone is better than us, creates alienation.

Islam does not say that everyone is just as good as them. I abhors the "others". It reinforces a sense of belonging.

People will keep to convert into it until we stop being spineless and teach European pride to our children. Do not hold your breath.


Federal employees pay 10% of their income into the defined pension plan.  The yearly amount they pay is deducted from their RRSP eligibility.  When they collect their pension, they are taxed on in. Depending on where they are with the pension and CPP payments, they may not be eligible for OAS, which comes out of general revenues.  And they have to work for the federal government, which might not be all beer and skittles.
Pensions have nothing to do with the tax proposals.  You're free to set up an IPP through your company as well if you really want one.


Say, where's Benny Perrin.  He must be able to shed some light on this.  Oh wait.  I forgot.  He and Ray Novak had just stepped out when all this went down.


So what you are saying is only the young know anything. Interesting perspective, since you have just dismissed experience.


I don't know about other products, but LNG has a fairly obvious geography problem. Most of Canada's natural gas production comes from Alberta and BC. To get the gas to Europe, it has to be piped to the Pacific Ocean, liquefied, and loaded in tankers. those tankers are too big to fit through the Panama Canal, which means that they have to go south all the way to Cape Horn, and then north to a European terminal, a journey of over 20,000 km. When the LNG arrives in Europe, it has to be gasified and piped to the customer. Meanwhile, Russian gas only has to be piped the relatively short distance from the Russian gas fields to the customer. This gives Russian gas a huge advantage on shipping costs.

The same applies to lumber. Georgia is a lot closer to Spain than BC is.


When I don’t agree with one of your comments, I respond, or fail to click on the star. Works for me.

I have ‘flagged’ about three comments since we started this new gaggle either during ‘review’ or after finding them already posted.

My skin is fairly thick. “Arguing with an Infantryman is like wrestling with a Pig; both of you get dirty but the Pig enjoys it.”

If I can’t hold my own on this modest little bit of fluff, when no one can actually kill me, it will be time to go to the home.


There oughta be a law against stating things as fact with zero factual basis.


Why are you blaming Trump?


By killing/opposing every innovation which might loosen their grip on the sclerotic and underperforming monopoly they enjoy on primary & secondary education in this country.  That's how.


Correlation is not causation.  The spike in crime is happening because the economy is taking a downturn.


Deregulation = Flint, Michigan.


This will be the liberal media response. Trump gets marching orders from Putin after two hour performance review. Oh and I totally feel comfortable saying liberal media. Their bias was so evident on election night with open tears on ABC and NBC. I was actually shocked by it.


The really scary thing is that millions of people knew about Trump's connections to Putin and voted him in anyway. Either they're too stupid to know what's going on in Russia or they don't care - either way, scary!


It's a two-way street that's happening more and more. The fiscal climate is meaning increased focus on charges. Anchorage is charging for things they previously waived for other government agencies, and the State is doing the same thing. We're going to have more of these issues in the future, but they'll get worked out.


Not sure I'm following you.  Accidentally killing someone is the equivalent of intentionally beating a child to death?


"O’Keefe is an inherently unreliable source with a long history of deception. In 2009, he released videos that claimed to show employees of ACORN — a community social-services agency — offering advice on how to set up a brothel; it later came out that O’Keefe had edited the video to make this seem like it was happening, leaving out the part where ACORN called the police. In 2011, he committed a similar ethical breach in trying to depict then-NPR executive Ron Schiller as saying that Tea Party activists are “seriously racist people,” leaving out the context in which it turned out Schiller was actually quoting two Republicans rather than offering his own views. As recently as last year, O’Keefe was caught editing a video to make it wrongly seem like a Planned Parenthood employee was discussing harvesting and selling aborted fetus organs on the black market."

You do realize the Northern Gateway was already dead in the water before this announcement don't you?  And as for talking about environmental protection etc., that should and wasn't done by the NEP.

By the way Canada has already compromised.  Do you forget the 10 years Harper did absolutely nothing about climate change and allowed Alberta and Saskatchewan to greatly expand the Tar Sands?  Now is the time to pull back not expand even more.  If the Tar Sands are such a great deal why isn't Alberta and Saskatchewan making money now?  Why do they need to expand it 40%.


When a mother/father looks at their child and cannot see the evil he is capable of,  then society as a whole is in danger. Not all kids are murderers,  but kids have and do murder. As parents we need to really see what and how the world around us has effected and shaped our childrens minds and watch their words and actions on what kids these days see as acceptable behavior. Media/Hollywood has changed the rules. Majority of government and civic leaders have become the disgraceful example of bullying, cheating, lying  and excusing their behavior by blaming others. Going to get much worse I think. Kids are like monkey see monkey do. Kids immitate adults. What a horrible future thought!


"There is only one reason why any tech company locates here and that's because the CEO loves Hawaii for the typical reasons...'
.
Absolutely correct and when a CEO locates here he brings his personnel with him.  There is very little demand for UH athletes or Hawaiian Studies majors in the ten sector.


She's a litigator. Her approach is appropriate for a hostile witness (hostile in the legal definition, not laymans.) especially given time constraints. The idea that hard questioning is grandstanding is ludicrous.


What's the time? HAMMER TIME!


Parliamentary "first past the post"  stopped an Ed Broadbent. Didn't it?


I agree with GWB. We all need answers. Beginning with HIS actions regarding the memo about hijackers attempting to crash planes into US buildings months before 9/11. And the subsequent "intelligence" reports of Iraq trying to obtain uranium from Niger as justification of the Iraq invasion. And of course, his connections to Halliburton through Cheney and the logistics contracts awarded to them , along with a full audit of why they felt it was justified to charge US taxpayers for $7k coffee makers, $600 toilet seats and $37 screws. And we haven't even touched on his own connections with the Saudis and other state sponsors of terrorists.


You do realize that was a joke don't you??


Well, lookey there. I provide adefinition in good faith, and you come back with even more overt FUD and long disproven talking points.

As to economics, the sustainability and renewables sector is one of the fastest growing and most profitible set of industries worldwide- creating and capable of creating millions of well paid jobs, and yet is ever hampered by useless hacks and right wing ideologues.


Reading this my thoughts drifted to all of the prominent Canadians who over history have had very few things named after them. For better or for worse, should there be a Mulroney hall or a Chrétien airport even Harper is far more deserving than Ford. When you think about it the list is very very long.

If Toronto has this short a memory, of having been made a global laughing stock by this man during those years, of having to use extreme measures to strip a crack addled mayor from being able to use his power, then it deserves itself.


That's 'Sunni Ways'.


". . . other than a $2,154 in-kind expenditure that appears to be a reimbursement for food and beverages for a campaign event . . ."  Based on the reports, this is an in-kind donation, not a reimbursement.  The Campaign Spending Commission's reporting system is archaic by today's standards and needs to be updated.


It's bad news  thugs in charge of mentally ill inmates. Good news  at least one guard  gives a damn.


Actually, I think that he could be breaking some rules with the numbered company that purports to be involved in real estate development and the sale of wood.

If at any time he is  has stayed at the chalet owned by this company, he should be declaring  it as a personal benefit. Has he?

I don't believe that he would own a acreage of land with a house and two lakes and use it only as a rental property .

Or is he claiming an  Arthur Erickson designed house as the sales office for the firewood portion of that company?


"...MT and the preservation of wealth...."

Rather reductionist, isn't it? I mean, which magisterial teaching?? There are several, so many, many from earlier traditions. And then to link them all -- down through the centuries in one continued stay, as it were -- to money is, well, simplistic. No doubt, on a lower scale, the Declaration of Independence,  US Constitution and Bill of Rights can be linked to money, too, and to capitalism and, maybe,  to some yellow-brick mountain. So reductionist. A flower pinned to a skirt is more than just a dead plant to the giver and receiver. There is so much more between the teaching church and the believer -- just as there is (in the Gospel) between the fish that jumped in the stretched nets of Peter and the fish in some other fisherman's nets. It's where we are behind our words, posts, and actions -- as believers or non-believers.


It's great that someone took Khan to task for her comments. You go to university to get educated not indoctrinated.


Give it a rest, all of you sanctimonious gun control sermonizers.

Americans, the majority of Americans, love their guns. They just do. They believe more firmly in the second amendment than they do in the 13th and 14th amendments. About the same demographic as those who love NASCAR, where you have the privilege of watching a group of hicks make 5000 left turns while going deaf. Inexplicable, but there it is.

Gun control will become a 1 or 2 month CNN obsession, and then, as happened with Piers Morgan, the ratings will begin to plummet and CNN will move on to something else. There will be teary interviews, a few destroyed parents from Sandy Hook will be trotted out to commiserate with a few Vegas victims, and then, boredom will set in. One, or more, CNN hosts, maybe Anderson Cooper, maybe  Don Lemon, will walk the plank for going too far in an interview with this or that right wing gun nut, and then life will go on.

Until the next mass shooting, Then repeat. Cha cha cha.


The Beemer i3 is sweet. The Chevy Bolt is turning heads too with a range 383km and MSRP of $37495 before government incentives. The green future is looking rosy.


Jack,
I look no further than your posts to read some very good fiction!  Some of it is actually funny.


If he was not legally impaired by alcohol and they found no evidence of drugs legal or otherwise at the scene shouldn't they just charge him with failure to yield the right of way and negligent driving?  If they have evidence that he was legally impaired shouldn't they charge him with it in court rather then in the newspaper.


Oh yeah.  Then they should obey all traffic laws just like motorists.  Like stopping at red lights for instance.


In keeping with 'open source' IT applications, this is the DP's way of 'open source' editing...


Yes, Alberta is always getting ripped-off !  By whom?
Well don't look under the carpet, but its Not the Feds.
Its the US Oil companies whose Cdn. subsidiaries sell/export petroleum products at lower than market value to their parent or other subsidiary, and are charged by their parent company for services and materials at way above market value.
So the majority of the profit accrues outside Canada.


“The fact is that Puerto Rico has been destroyed by two hurricanes. Big decisions will have to be made as to the cost of its rebuilding!”

South Florida has had four major hurricanes since 1928.  Any questions on the cost of rebuilding there?


The next elections are your chance to LIQUIDATE THE ANC! Altogether now ... LIQUIDATE THE ANC!!


Now let them move on to cuts in their staffing and/or staff pay, notably by the Senate "leaders."  A recent ADN article showed the salaries of their many staff to be six figures,
Of course, Pisstol Pete Kelly and his cohorts won't go along with that though. Their sense of entitlement is beyond belief. Sad!


I'm rather stunned that the people helping Snowdon were not local Hong Kong people, but were from the Philippines and Sri Lanka. Not quite surprised that they were clients of Tibbo. Tibbo seemed to have convinced the asylum shoppers to help Snowdon, and having failed to get asylum in Hong Kong, is using the Snowdon connection to try to get to Canada. If Canada lets them on its soil, they will have so many appeals processes that they might as well get PR status, and then they definitely won't regret helping Snowdon.

However, as people who would be accused of helping a traitorous felon, Canada is not safe for them, as the U.S. will request they be extradited to stand trial, using their asylum application against them.


I think it should be noted that the original cathedral construction cost was supposed to be 90 million privately raised....had that happened ....there would have been more funds available for inner city schools.

When I worked at Catholic Charities in the diocese we were very aware of just how important those inner city schools were ...I had friends teaching in them and friends volunteering...the schools were educating kids of all denominations...they were one of the most important stabilizers in poverty stricken neighborhoods....the diocese helped with the costs as did a private donor group.....

And I very much think this is what we should be doing  as Christians. I don't think we need a
Lavish, expensive, leaky,   large facility that looks a bit like a bread basket and  cost a fortune...financed in part by bonds.  (Which require debt service payment, refinancing et al) ...it's embarrassing as far as I am concerned.


So you're all in favor of also taxing the people who would not pay diddly under the proposals. Math hint ...6 percent of zero is zero


Thanks for nothing Wisconsin.....


Unfortunately, something tells me the accountants for foreign investment entities aren't too concerned with Canadian tax filing rules and they're probably not sending them to our government in many cases.

Considering the boondoggle that is the Phoenix pay system, I don't think you really want the government doing your taxes for you either.


Thats a big chunk of ice. Curious that the story is contradictory. The scientist says they have no evidence to point toward GW and in the next paragraph the writer points toward GW.


You said it better then I ever could.  My own conclusion is and has been for years that Donald Trump is mentally ill.


You're one to talk!


The danger to America goes back at least 24 years! Yet still today few seem interested in convicting the real criminals...Sheeeeez


YES!

Thank you...I dropped out in the 9th grade. I wanted to say it just like you did. Which is why I say 50% and there's entitlements yada yada...Schools get federal money...yada yada.

One thing though...

" Hence military spending is only 16% of the yearly budget. None of this has anything to do with the Everett School District."

Boeing gets beefy military contracts. That money spills over into the Everett school district in many ways.


Great news for those of us looking for a good life-friendly relocation station for whenever space travel allows us to leave this dying planet.  I'm reluctant to have to travel 100 light years to reach such a place---unless Jennifer Lawrence will also be coming!


What happened to our Hurricane Fund.
Did our Liberal Democrats raid it already?


Art is correct to my knowledge - state governments MUST pass budgets in order to spend, and technically I think they must even pass BALANCED budgets; they cannot deficit spend.  The Federal government, by issuing Treasury securities, does two things:  1) Funds it's operations when spending exceeds receipts + accumulated funding; and 2) provides citizens and most particularly the Social Security fund with a relatively safe, modest-return investment option.  States, while they can issue debt, don't really have the same powers in that regard as the Federal government.  And it makes sense really - would you buy bonds issued by a state to cover that state's current operating expenses?  I wouldn't, that indicates the state is in dire financial condition.  That's why I find the issuance of debt to cover state pension obligations so scary.  It may be necessary given the magnitude of the problem, but it is very much kicking the can down the road.


Trump adopted the phrase 'America First' because it was an old racist Nazi buzzword from years ago.
It was a dog-whistle siren call to his white supremacist brethren.
Then Bannon spewed out some word salad for Trump to further butcher in an attempt to deny it.
They came up with the empty 'isolationism' that Trump immediately denied when he met with Merkel.
Trump never had any foreign policy, other than looking to skim money wherever he could.
He's a petty con man, not an actual reasoned or sane human being, he's a fraud.
He's imbalanced, unfit for office.
Now we have a weak and insecure, belligerent child who imagines himself a fascist saviour.
He's no more than an egotistical juvenile buffoon.
We need to remove him from the office, get him out of office now.
Trump is a white supremacist, Nazi sympathizer who should be removed from office.


Um, no, it's not. There was not obstruction of anything here. Comey's testimony made that pretty clear. Per Comey, The President was never under any investigation and never pressured him to drop the Russia probe. Big. Fat. Nothing. Burger.


Canada has a system in place that works when people come to Canada seeking legitimate asylum as opposed to refuge from their legal troubles abroad.   Our system stops working when the professionals and gov't officials who run it are put under unnecessary pressure by the left because its their flavor of the month and they feel the need to do good for others.   If our men and women who have been trained to deal with these people decide to deport then we should stand behind them 100% and thank them for a job well done!


They'd steal whatever is available. This is a great start to a yuge problem.


Fond of question marks ???

Sure Le Pen is the person to do it.  Just like Hitler was the man to end that humiliating Versailles treaty and rid Germany of its undesirables.

I am all for change -- provided it is for the better.  And last time I checked, France was a Republic rather than a Marxist state.


I was raised in this area and I have "insider" information on who is corrupting this part of Colorado.  Western Colorado Free Thinkers, is the NGO destroying this area.  They did a SATANIC invocation at Grand Junction, Colorado's city hall and they actively perform Saul Alinsky style attacks on Christianity and western civilization.  They even put SATANIC coloring books in SCHOOLS around here.  They are behind the Satanic corruption in this area and if they aren't stopped more children will die.  Dylan Redwine was the last one in the area.  There will be MORE.  You know who these people are.  I wonder if George Soro funds them?

Your logic is flawed - If you want an analogy,  a Sheriff candidate should be able to advocate for the legalization of marijuana while upholding his statutory duty to arrest those who violate a law he objects to.  No one broke any law whatsoever yet you introduce criminal misconduct and fabricate a hypothetical that suits your bias.  We all have a bias when it comes to choosing candidates - in this case your bias causes you to single out Val for accepting a campaign contribution without examining the conduct of her opponents. You bemoan the influence of money yet ignore the fact that eliminating it is part of her platform.   Maybe you can get the guy using his labor commission as an extortion for endorsement office to join Val on the issue.


Aw shucks, just take it out of our dividends, Mr. Duncan...


Jim. There you go again using fact an logic in an emotional issue. You will be assailed mercilessly.


There are no "pluses of the GOP plan" except one ... it will be a failure. And that is a plus only for the GOP (right wingers) by demonstrating that the government is incapable of providing healthcare or anything else resembling a social program. Right wingers love to see the government fail in these types of endeavors so they can promote the "free market" (AKA, their wealthy benefactors and large corporate patrons). They don't want the government involved in anything including waging war (mercenaries vs national military) and the criminal justice system (private police forces and corporate owned penal institutions vs public law enforcement and penitentiaries).
They want government restricted only to making laws that favor them and their moneyed interests.


Let's not and just say we did.


Go move to the mainland if you like it there so much.  Mainland mentality go back


Trump and the GOP's budget is a complete repudiation of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. This is exactly the budget many US Bishops must have wanted given their enthusiastic support for Paul Ryan and Trump.  All those prayers from the Fortnights for Freedom answered in one budget proposal -- anti-woman, anti-maternity, anti-child, anti-poverty programs, anti-health care, anti-education, anti-human, anti-education, and anti-Christ.


The Capitol Theatre.. I had forgotten the name.. those were the days.....

And no cell phones either, so we were completely off the parent grid when we were out and about...


Marcus Gee always hated Rob Ford , why would this be any different


Of course Trudeau should stand up for Canadian interests. Are you suggesting the government just bend over and accept all of Trump's conditions?


I have. Thanks. And happy halloween.


It's demoralizing to realize how little Donald Trump has accomplished.
He's mounted himself on the bathroom wall as a serial liar, a racist, a woman-hater, an ineffective illiterate, a buffoon, a cad, a heel, a petty, vindictive opportunist, a shameless self-server and an unfaithful husband.
His judgment by history will be more than harsh.
You're right, Jimmy Janz, every time Trump feels the heat of his Russian collusion he fabricates another scandal or dials up controversy.


Headline Scaramucci: White House 'Obviously' Has A 'Communications Problem'


Someone want to remind Graham that he has no business interfering with government. Separation of Church and State means "the church" stays out of the government's business. Franklin Graham is simply distorting Christ's message.


During construction I was on a tour of the building.  They were relocating the CEO's office door under a change order (i.e. add'l cost) from the common corridor so it would be through his secretary's office.  I thought, what is this, the 1950's?  lol


Funny, I wonder that about you.


I hadn't really thought about how one action would essentially taint him forever. Good point.


John has led a "class act" for years.  It will take a hell of a person to replace him.  Congratulations, John, you have done a great job.


As if we needed one more example of the Vatican refusing to accept the 20th Century, much less the 21st.  Celiac disease, while not very common, is totally devastating.  But there are a number of other types of gluten sensitivities which can result in a variety of pretty miserable conditions.  I know because I have one, and not knowing that something I eat has gluten results in a sleepless night or maybe two.  So another gain in medical knowledge that helps a number of people is ignored by the RCC powers for some very obscure reason.  How many Africans were sentenced to death by AIDS because of the horrors having to do with using condoms?  A good dogma should certainly take priority over life.


I hope to see the results from an identical poll taken in another 18 months in order to compare ...
As the saying goes ... you ain't seen nothing yet !


You can finagle with definitions, but the people killed are still dead.


Upgrading streetlights; sounds like a good idea. Saving money; also a good idea. Pollution sensors; I like that one a lot. Could be useful in fixing bad traffic patterns that stall drivers overlong in certain areas.

Installing video, still cameras, visual tracking of any kind, audio recording capability - No.

Not just no, but HELL no. Enough loss of privacy already. There's enough cameras out there now for every person on the freakin' planet to have their own selfie 24-7. Big Brother needs to be on a short leash - hopefully one so short and tight he's gasping for air.


Not a word about Syria in today's Glob & Male.

Whenever the people defeat the Washington supported head-choppers - then the G&M remains silent.


If you can show the volcanoes in question held meetings with the Russians and then lied about it as Sessions and Flynn did, I support your idea.


This is spot on. The Liberals are moving the tax burden to the front end of the revenue stream and fundamentally killing your retained earnings with punitive tax.  The risk/reward profile for anyone making a living in business will be  a lot worse.  Notwithstanding the latest 'tweaks' by Morneau, I see nothing but pain for the independent business person.  I sold out about 8 years ago and am so glad I did.


For the record, Nainoa's father carried the message to DC to waterboys for "Bishop" Fong and Inouye to include Hawaiians in federal funds allocated for Native Americans by congress, except to the state, not directly, including to Alu Like. Royalism rules in the 50th state.


The issue is chemical weapons in Syria. Simple. USA not on ISIS's side vs Syria...just against the use of chemical weapons.....OBAMA thought he had all this worked out with the Russians....but OBAMA messed up. Up to trump and his new administration to clean things up.


Yeah, maybe its just because I am slow.  But to me and I think many others science offers the illusion of understanding.   There is the notion that the workings of life are understood or that evolution is understood.  You see it in this comment stream that many believe "evolution" is a reasonably well understood topic.   It has taken many years for me to really accept that current science cannot quantitatively model and thus demonstrate understanding of most aspects of life.  We have no quantitative model which demonstrates the transition from isolated chemical reactions to a closed system of self-sustaining chemical reactions as exemplified by a single cell.  Yet we believe that natural random forces successfully mediated such a transition.  Any natural process that we cannot quantitatively model is understood only through faith.


There seem to be two possibilities.  One is that groups moved in, then later died off or moved on and other groups moved into the vacant territory.  The other is that new groups moved in and out-hunted or killed off their predecessors.  I think it is fair to say that the latter has probably been the main pattern of succession of ethnic communities around the world.

He's waiting until the season is totally blown before making a change.  His twisted logic about not making a QB change at halftime "because we were still in the game" is further evidence of that mindset.  That should be the reason TO make the change then, not FAIL to make the change then.

Once we're 3-6 and hopelessly out of the playoffs, THAT'S probably when he'll make the change.  Ugh.


The "judge" absolutely should have known better, I'm sick of law enforcement's "shoot first, and ask questions later" attitude. The "judge" should be named in the suit as well and censured and then removed. While I think should and will receive a "settlement from Fountain PD, ultimately , the taxpayers will end up footing the bill...Do police not investigate prior to rushing to get a warrant?


Congrats...Let's go 'Bows...


Subscribed with guarded optimism. There are so many opportunities to go spinning off the pavement on this road...


It was a lose-lose election.  Evil we know vs the evil we don't.


Considering that during the recent election campaign the BC Green party & the BC NDP DID NOT provide ANY details/descriptions of the new electoral system that they want to replace BC's current "first past the post" system

... & considering that the Green party leader recently said he wants future BC legislation to be drafted using more collaborative, more inclusive & more transparent (BUT NOT DEFINED!!) methods than under the current system..

... & considering that during the last 60 days he repeatedly stated he wants BC MLAs to ARBITRARILY IMPOSE a new electoral system on the province,

... this indicates he is either mentally deranged or unconscionably dishonest...

Unless a political party explicitly describes the electoral system model that they propose should replace the currently-in-place "first past-the-post" system- IN A WRITTEN ELECTION-PLATFORM DOCUMENT- that the party is elected as government on... then THE PARTY DOES NOT HAVE A MANDATE TO CHANGE THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM!!


Justice finally served.  A payout to the family and, most importantly, a prison sentence for the criminal cop.


So glad this timber is being cut and sold. We have had some very dry summers and it would be a shame to  lose the revenue through accidental burn.


This is not about men being victims of "that game", it is about young women falling for "let's have a business meeting".


Target still hasnt recovered since their stock tanked after implementing their store's gun free status, and Obama's transgender bathroom nonsense.

How could this "news story" ignore that 10,000 pound elephant in the room?


Respect the principle of gender equity. This isn't a protected class thing, this is a humanist thing. We're not Saudi Arabia, are we.


If you wish to observe nasty, obnoxious fans just try the bleachers at Fenway Park when the Yankees visit. Then let's compare notes.


They WANT to believe it. Politics today, and especially Trump, are like a Rorschach.  People see what they want to see.

It's been said that his supporters take him seriously, but not literally.  Such are these.


I am not so sure, if you look at the country it is so heavily polarized and the two sides seem to live in different worlds so I suspect like on pretty much every issue nowadays GOP supporters will think its great, Democrat supporters will be outraged.  Lets remember most Americans only associate with those with similar views, only listen, watch, and read what confirms to their pre-conceived bias so those thinking this will change public opinion dramatically I wouldn't be so sure.


What's happening in Africa is awful, but Canada has limited financial resources.  Trudeau chose to spend billions for other nations to fight climate change.  But Clerics half a world away know that 'Canada is back', so who can blame them for trying to get a good latch on the Liberal teat?


all the folks here with the stingy, mean spirited comments..  you all have 4..5 months of living expenses put away for an emergency. none of you are living paycheck to paycheck. none of you take some form of public assistance be it food stamps, energy assistance or some "credit" on your tax form...
  every one of you is pulling and has pulled your full load from the day you became a legal adult. none of you have ever defaulted on a loan.. gone bankrupt.


I don't know.

Maybe the same people who were funding Khadr.


"Better" performance doesn't matter. The only mandatory role for them is NORAD. NATO is a red herring. If we went to WW 3 would we really strip our NORAD force of any fighters? No. Is there a scenario in WW 3 where the Russians 1) bomb North America with conventional weapons or 2) use a limited nuclear strike?  No to both so that means they'd use ICBMs which fighters are of no use against.

So what are the fighters for? To show "sovereignty" (by having some Canadian planes rather than US planes guard North America (really the USA) and to give the air force something to do (what NORAD does for US fighters) . It's a domestic political issue not a defence issue.

The answer is to buy the fewest of the cheapest plane- both sticker and operating cost- and assign all of them to NORAD. That is probably 48 F-18s.


No disagreement as it relates to COFA.  Yes, I think Trump and congress  will do worse than previous administrations, as difficult decisions will be shifted to states.  We need to do right by our people (regressive taxes, tourism as the only hope, a bloated education system, and yes homelessness).  My experience with various immigrant groups and individuals is their appreciation of opportunity, and their willingness to contribute once they feel safe.

We are limited for space as a state of islands.  A challenge to give aloha when we see it as being finite rather than a possibility for increasing our resources.


Be careful before throwing the lying flag little man.
The tax cut agreement you talk about was both offset by reviving the inheritance tax and spreading a few dollars across 95% of America. The fact that every working family, except those making more than $190,000, received as much as $800 in tax cuts was quickly gobbled up by another tax and a stimulus package that doubled our national debt. He almost single handily killed the middle class working Americans while blaming the previous administration for everything. Today, sycophants like yourself try rewriting a blight on American history. Not with me little man...


Maybe, but a winning vote for an NDP candidate has always proven to be an overwhelming vote for 'other' 4yrs later. Hence, the problem of what is best described as retarded BC politics.


Nobody can muster any fond memory of Scalia or what he did while on the Supreme Court.  All Scalia did was make sh** up and call it constitutional.  I'm glad Scalia is gone won't be remembered for any contributions make to society.  Oh wait, Scalia did belong to a secret underground anti-America society.


Here's the problem with that: Melania Trump, Michelle Obama, Nancy Reagan, Eleanor Roosevelt, Dolly Madison ... not one of them is or was a trained and professional rescue worker. Who cares what they do? They are mostly there for a photo op, telling the world that America's got this. Nothing more.

Footwear neither adds to nor takes away from that.
.
Criminy, I can't believe this is even a top of discussion. Maybe Mrs. Trump can fire her handler for not heading this off at the door. But it wasn't. Still a nothingburger.


Definitely didn't appease Leah Mclaren who's own take on the visit was juxtaposed over this one in an earlier edition.  Both used the "appease" word 180 degrees apart.  Amusing.


not if your white.


The usual right wing Trump supporters on here hating on disabled people...AGAIN.


Then you must be extremely ecstatic that your Albertan economy is in the good hands of the NDP's Notley. Good luck to you all in Alberta, you will need it.


That the G&M has chosen to review this makes it worth tuning in to.  So G&M entertainment experts should do a critique on the entire 'only allowed in Canada' Netflix offerings and advise us subscribers accordingly.   I say that because decades ago I used to have the Toronto G&M broadsheet delivered to my Vancouver doorstep and found the film, theatre, restaurant recommendations foolproof.


Put him on the no fly list and send him back to the mainland on a boat.  He does not long in Hawaii.


Amen to every point.


Again, Tulsi Gabbard is working towards her own self-interests - not those of the United States, and certainly not those of her constituents in Hawaii. She's flip-flopped on so many different issues, it's difficult to tell where she stands on any of them now. And traveling in secret to Syria to meet with Assad, a move contrary to every stance that our Department of Defense has taken on the situation in Syria, just confirms suspicions that she's looking for a position more powerful than in Congress. Donald Trump would be proud of Tulsi's actions, and that's not a good look.


Dermot -
I'm encouraged to read you're not done writing about Alaska.  Please don't stop.  This state needs to keep learning from its dean of journalism.  Maybe I can help somehow.  Let's explore ideas.  My thanks and best wishes to you and to your brother's health.


OSU has OVER 8000 students in its Engineering School.  No idea of how many in Pharmacy or other Science majors,  like Forestry and Oceanography.  No idea is "Home Ec" is still a major,  but that  was the major that produced the two Fortune 500 CEOs  from OSU before 1990.

Blue collar education for blue collar kids looking for productive paths to future economic success.  Concept.


They respond like this on purpose. I think even better is when they respond to some catastrophe in the U.S. by pointing out grammatical errors in the story.
There is something  wrong at the very core. I've always chalked it up to the inferiority complex, the only identity being 'not American' and the genetic chip-on-the-shoulder.


Hey Madison that's awesome!


What political office does Hillary hold?

Where's your response that landed in my mailbox?

The one that falsely claims "since you agree that the allegations are false" . . .?


Those women are idiots.  Trump won the election and became the president in USA. This is democracy one part win other part lost. Simple theory. One million women can't understand this theory.  Media reporters are insane. They publish this type of garbage material  in their media.  Why these women march against  women slavery in Asia, Africa, Mideast..countries ?


Thanks Catou, always appreciate your posts!


I appreciate them having a debate but the time to debate this subject is past. Enough already - stop the spraying!


Congradulations steeler, Linsey Grahm is a Trump hater, so you again proved your extended knowledga of facts....NOT


IRT HanabataDays, or you prefer Hawaii born ex-President Obama, the red line is here.  The opposition reaches and crosses the red line, and ex-Pres. Obama, oh, the red is now here, etc.


"Marijuana prescribed by a physician in pill form WILL have the SAME effect on someone that smoking will WITHOUT the high",,,,,Not so. Dranabinol/ Marinol is 100% synthetic THC, all it does is get you high as a kite and none of the natural healing Cannabinoids that the natural product has. In fact given the choice most people prefer Cannabis.


"the Trumps rise."  SO DO STOCK MARKETS!


Having a dog with you and making it clear that the dog rides shotgun always, gets cops to know what your justifiable defense will be. Also the grounds for the cash wealthy drop dead easy lawsuit.
Many Judges (criminal and civil) are very skeptical on what it is that a dog 'marks' on. Are they excited about drugs, or the smell of another dog, or the melted chocolate in the seat. They're calling attention to something, which the handler interprets. Judges are having a fair amount of doubt on the interpretations of what a dog thinks (by anyone). Like bringing a crime witching stick.

Dogs are a threat. Brought to searches to instill fear. That's what just happened in Longmont. warrentless searches with dogs. Its all about fear.


thats funny, the police are the ones who told residents of muldoon that SB91 is the problem. All this talking doesnt help the KIDS. the Kids of muldoon are having shots go off around them at school ( muldoon elementary )...crazy junkies try to pick them up at school....I know of two families who this last summer had a nutball spray bullets at them while their children were outside playing ( because they know they wont go to jail if caught)....and all these adults want to TALK TALK TALK TALK ...today the kids will walk by our house as the junkies run in and out of the campground. nice going respondsible adults. I cant even get a light up between grandlarry and jelinek !!! what other part of anchorage has no lights ? none . zero. zip.


On March 1, 2016, Steve Bowers wrote in the RG: "Trump is a nescient nabob preying on a frustrated, angry electorate who feel disenfranchised from the current political system. He represents precisely the attributes he condemns in his rhetoric: morally corrupt, marginally competent individuals who exploit the system for personal gain. Clinton is a duplicitous criminal, promising the moon to an electorate made dependent by the very policies of her party, giving just enough to induce dependence but not enough to pacify, a 1 percenter demanding that the 1 percenters pay their fair share of taxes."
When he writes above: "It takes a paucity of intellectual thought to denigrate someone. Finding fault is far easier than soliciting solutions", who is Bowers referring to?


They will have to establish as eco fee on the sales of new evs.  That should kill it.


Even the letters to the editor section is being cut down.


This latest bout of verbal diarrhea is Trumps way of keeping occupied and in the spotlight while he lets Jared oh so quietly handle all the real issues for him.


Before oil is obsolete maybe Alaska should fix its broken oil and gas laws that is control by a monopoly!

It is time to change the rules and bad leaders and finally allow Alaskans to explore & sell oil and prosper!

Under this sold out system only the majors can make money from selling oil from Alaska, the powers that control oil and gas agencies make sure this will never change so Alaskans can drill and sell oil for a profit and it has been that way since statehood!

Oil production is in massive decline as the majors explore places outside the state! Alaskans and smaller oil companies can not get around the red tape and tricks!

Many say the state legislators and oil and gas agencies make the oil and gas rules in Alaska too confusing, costly. lengthy and unreasonable for Alaskans but help this system helps the majors control almost all the oil markets for decades, so they prosper and not Alaskans!

It is time to let Alaskans get rich off oil!


I agree we still need parking even with transit-oriented development around the rail station.

Regarding rail... All the land across the street Salt Lake Boulevard from the stadium should be rezoned business and high-rise development. The residents won't want the noise from the stadium and rail station anyway. That's exactly where rail will be running so that area will have to be rezoned anyway. Buildings on the edge of the rezoning should be no more than 4 stories for the benefit of adjcent homes next door

I don't think Caldwell wants to lose votes in the Salt Lake area because this is a highly Republican District anyway.


This is a result of Obama/Harper & then Obama/Trudeau negotiations to make Canada harmonize its travel regulations with the US.  Canadians with dual US citizenship have long experienced these regulations, but from the US side.


He does not have to respond.

He is a liberal Democrat in South Eugene.  His re-election is ordained.

 Like Brown, he has nothing to gain by speaking to you or anyone else who does not support his views.


Rick,

Excellent comment!

Our PM is now in a difficult spot that will test his nerve and clarity of purpose.  Clearly, efforts (in the form of mixed messages from various persons associated with the Trump Administration) have been afoot over the past week or so to divide Canada from Mexico as a prelude to confronting Mexico and  Canada separately with harsh NAFTA related demands.  Clearly, some Canadian circles welcome the fact that Canada seems to be viewed within circles around Trump apart from Mexico in the NAFTA context.

Canada has different interests to those of Mexico but we have a common interest to ensure that NAFTA negotiations are conducted in a reasonable and rational fashion and not through bullying or threats.  C

Canada should therefore now suggest that meetings with Trump be delayed to give an opportunity to re-establish the basis for triparty NAFTA discussions to proceed from the onset.


"Those unwanted pregnancies are being forced on them, ...."

As I just pointed out, in a number of cases that you do not want to acknowledge, those abortions are being forced on them. Is that the "choice" that you so cherish?


He's a politician - he talks one way and walks another. Kind of like Justin Trudeau on a lot of issues. Justin did a lot of left talking, but most of his gov't's business decisions are to the right.


aint it great. a bunch of desperados trying to find a crime out of thin air. and they can't make it happen so they scream louder n louder. the space trump takes up in their heads is astounding.


Filet o' Fish sandwich since before you moved to your parents' basement.


This fiction article stinks of 'que buena para mi position!' (How great is my position on this subject?!) This article is blather.

How about some reality based truth? Instead of the que buena jabber?

Try this: VERITAS. Latin:  truth, reality, honesty, or in Other English words = what we USA Americans care about as fairness as for who comes into our USA, to CONTRIBUTE to our USA, and be our common ground neighbors. This article is heartfelt blather, and misses the point of what an immigrant could and should bring to the subject of their immigrant status and candidacy. If they want to be Americans. Americans require this given the hard work and patriotic efforts of our parents, grandparents, and new friends who are now proud immigrants in the USA!


When I read drivel like this my head wasn't to explode and I want to scream in this mans face. YOU ARE A LIAR, or as Trump calls it alternative facts. Republicans juts want to shrink government, really? If you have live here for the past decade or so you might remember the GOP to include this guy voted for the biggest bloated budgets in our states history! They have moved our state from one of surpluses to deficits. Now they want to spend every penny of our savings too.  What Rep Saddler doesn't tell you is we Republicans want to keep writing BIG FAT CHECKS to Big oil all the while laying offTroopers and teachers. Big government is just a phrase their think tanks come up with so some people can turn off their brain.If smaller government means subsidizing big oil count me out.

Where does it end? Look south at the scream of livid rage from those who've been unfairly judged because their ancestors happened to be this or that.


Onlylosers like their own comments....you must be one of the bottom fishing slimy RE agents


Installed Solar Water then PV on the roof years ago. Watched with a smile as my HECO bill went down to the $17 minimum charge.

Best deal ever.


I agree. One problem with circumventing the legal system is that the "accused" never have their day in court. In the court of public opinion, however, they might be forever considered guilty even if they're not.


I had no idea Mike Pence was an Evangelical or creationist. His Wikipedia entry barely mentions the subject. The portrait opens with the story of Pence's ancestors--Irish Catholic immigrants and capital-letter "Democrats." One sentence is given over to the subject of his conversion and there's one more reference buried at the end of the entry. No mention of his creationist views. This is probably intentional as the Wikipedia entries of top-profile politicians are always managed to some degree.

Seems like Trump is taking care of his Evangelical base through cabinet appointments of conservative Evangelicals so he needn't pretend to have a religious bone in his body. Smart move for Donald Trump's a--. Dumb move for the country.


It doesn't matter. She has influence and was offered a substantial gift (Caribbean yacht!)  Low level pubic servants are not allowed to accept chocolates or hockey tickets, why on earth would this differ for a powerful MP?
Would smell less if she hadn't tweeted her disdain for Trudeau being unable to resist a billionaire's lifestyle while she was on a billionaire energy mogul's yacht.  Does Rona support & lobby for the energy sector?? Why, yes, she does.


I in turn thank sarasi1 for posting it first!


So, do Americans return the favor and propagandize Russian pages?


North Korea jams foreign radio and television signals. It is a criminal offence to read, listen to or watch non sanctioned media. North Koreans are among the most propagandized/abused populations on the planet. They do not have a clue as to what is going on.
Allowing the regime to continue unchecked is to allow their abysmal human rights abuses to continue. Negotiating with the regime facilitates the abuse.
Extreme, draconian sanctions is the lesser of all evils. If China does not take him out hopefully a patriot in his inner circle will set aside his fear of torture and do the world a favor.


"The jury also declined to assess punitive damages against Lovingier." Not surprising.  It seems that it's not only the idiots in government who condone this sort of thing, it's also our fellow citizens.


Correctional security failed to protect this sentenced prisoner.  What happened here?


And as long as the homeowners never step outside their newly filtered homes their chances of contracting asthma or heart disease from highway pollution will be nominal! 🙄


Never used a phone? E-mail?


Actually, we're neither. In a true democracy, everybody votes on everything. No representatives. In a republic, elected or appointed representatives make all decisions. We vote on some things (MJ, for example) and elect representatives for others (State and national representatives) and don't have any say in others (electoral college reps, rules and regulations created by non-elected officials, etc).


This author mixes together statements and examples of racism, culturalism and religious intolerance as if they are the same thing and are interchangeable.  They are not.  I can deplore certain cultural practices and religious beliefs without ever going near the scourge of racism.

For example, I'm not keen to get to know or be pals with someone whose foundational religious beliefs call for me to be hunted down and exterminated.  I don't care about the colour of their skin or wence they came or their ethnic background but I find that religious belief to be more than somewhat repugnant and intolerable.


The problem with all you anti-Trump people is that you all think that you know more than the people who support the POTUS. You all think that you are right and everything the POTUS and the people who support his legislation do are wrong.  I support the POTUS and I am willing to see how his policies play out before I cast judgment on him. I did the same when Obama was POTUS and the four other POTUS's I served under when I was in the military.
Give him a chance.


Salem, 1692-93. Accusations of witchcraft achieved contagion effect.

McCarthyism, from 1947 to 1956. Accusations of communist membership achieved contagion effect.

The parallels to accusations of racism today are hard to miss.  Just being white now qualifies as being racist, like some kind of "original sin".


Both candidates were equally good, that's even what the election results show. The people that are shocked or upset have a perspective problem, they don't have a good policy perspective of the world. Neither does the media that promotes the idea that something is wrong with the result. Either candidate was good, the Democrats maybe messed up by picking Hillary over Bernie, but Trump was the one left at the end as the better option. We need to learn from this in Canada and have these kinds of policy options that Bernie and Trump offer, not the garbage social rhetoric we see in the media, but their economic policies, in Canada. We definitely need to reduce the Labor Supply by substantially reducing immigration and foreign workers in Canada. Nationalism is the new progressiveness. We need our politicians to understand this and ditch old ineffective globalist policy ideas, for new nationalist economic policies.


"unpleasant punitive treatment if captured. I"

Giving them an extra incentive to fight harder.


What warming?  Regardless of the any actual evidence, logic, facts or even a simple reading of a thermometer indicating how many degrees increase is taking place, it's all 100% myth.   Please get with the current way of thinking.  I hope that our education system is teaching this so that we can generations to come that dismiss evidence, logic, facts and reality for sponged propaganda.  Seems like trump and de vos are working very hard on stamping out independent and critical thinking in America.


Matching pension contributions in the private sector do not come close to matching in the public sector.  The numbers don't lie.  Lower the public sector matching percentage to be in line with the private sector and give me back those tax dollars.  Then let me invest them in my retirement fund rather than yours and we can all retire together.


Yet people bought them. And were good with them, otherwise they wouldn’t have.

Then our elected betters decided they know better. The height of patrician arrogance.


Not true, Klastri.  I do not think and write about you every day.  There was a two or three-week period last November when I did not write about you.  It was when you disappeared right after the election to lick your wounds and perhaps seek psychiatric help like for a mental break down like other liberals when the landslide victory you repeatedly predicted for Clinton turned into a route and a Trump Victory.


Wanna know what is really gonna kill us?  When Hillary establishes her Syrian no-fly zone placing us at war with nuclear Russia.  Within weeks of US planes shooting down Russian planes, the Ruskies will take out the responsible Mediterranean aircraft carrier with a nuke.  The mentality over the last 70 years is that we can throw our weight around against largely toothless enemies.  Hillary does not seem to understand that when you take on the big bad boys, you might not even come back.  Nuclear fire will be Hillary's legacy when she takes on Russia.  They have enough nukes to take out even little Eugene.


What percentage of these people have jobs? Besides burger flippers


OK So you have no argument other than a set of social mores for which you subscribe.


Not to mention stock market fraud and manipulation.  GM stock is down.  Boeing and Lockheed Martin were also affected by asinine tweets from Trump.  He is already by far the worst president the US has ever had, and he hasn't even officially started yet.


Keep writing. Lets the majority of Americans know we are correct on
Detect.
Detain.
And
Deport. (I prefer the 24 hour deport, they can appeal from their home countries)


It was actually the invention of kerosene made from crude oil that put an end to the use of whale oil for lighting.

Today, it's worse, environmentalists support rain forest destruction so that palm oil for diesel and sugar cane for fuel ethanol can save the environment.

"One well placed arrow...."


You may not be aware of the mountain of independent academic study that consistently show mutual funds rarely beat their relevant benchmark indices over any significant period of time (i.e. 20 - 50 years) after expenses but if you have proof to the contrary I'd certainly like to see it. Older studies done before accounting for survivorship bias could demonstrate a lackluster case in favour of mutual funds but more recent studies that use complete and accurate historical data show that the vast majority of actively managed mutual funds can not justify the costs associated with them, especially when low cost index-linked products are readily available. In fact, most academics conclude that the single biggest factor pertaining to a given mutual fund's relative performance are the costs associated with owning it.


I work about 60 hours a week as a high school teacher. Multiply that by four weeks and nine months and tell me the total, Einstein.


I know of "Freedom Of Religion" in the Constitution, but there is no "Freedom From Religion" in it. "Of" and "from" don't have the same meaning. You know that, right?

Business owners aren't required to be atheist, nor can they be prevented from following their beliefs. That would violate a Constitutional right.

They can't require a religious litmus test, or for an employee to attend services... if it's not church associated employment, and those aren't the issue here. An employer can't ask you about your religious beliefs. An employer can't persuade an employee to be religious (or deny them their religious freedom), by threat of negative reviews or termination. Again, neither of those are an issue here.

Nobody is being forced to follow anyone else's religion, or beliefs.


You really have no idea what you are talking about.

BC's carbon tax is truly revenue neutral.

Every year since the carbon tax was first introduced in 2008 more has been returned to British Columbians in the form of tax cuts and tax credits  than has actually been raised by the carbon tax.

The lowest income tax rate has been reduced by 20%.  There are REFUNDABLE tax credits for low income people as well.

And BC leads Canada in economic growth to boot.

Tell me how that is not working out well?


The whole thing needs to scraped, Obama was not an "era", what a great example of Margaret Thatchers quote " the problem with socialism is eventually you run out of other people's money to spend"


I would suggest healthcare is the biggest issue, we can barely provide for our own, encouraging the immigration of older people who will increase the burden on out healthcare system is nuts.

Also, it turns out Asians have a high rate of diabetes, and that is also a huge drain on our healthcare system.


This from the guy who got us into iraq... on a fiction.... that started a war yet to really end ... and while that continues still, he calls trump irresponsible.

STAGGERING BLINDNESS!!!!


So the quotes the article cites didn't happen?  Please clarify.


Marijuana excise taxes do not come close to making up for the deadly combo of laws that makes Colorado one of the worst in school funding. Congrats for the potheads, and I'm glad that we're no longer contributing potheads to our already overpopulated prison population - but it's nowhere near the answer for school funding.


The oceans are full of junk. Animals are in extinction mode. Polluting is actually the next cool thing.
Humans never did it.


Just deport the democrats and the snowflakes.  That will solve the problem immediately.


On the nose. Heroes are people who knowingly and intentionally put themselves  in in danger in order to help others.

Athletes aren't that.
