You may be illustrating my point of misplaced priorities if women priests, birth control, and other social issues of the day are the preeminent reasons to determine whether or not to belong to the Church.


Yep they should have at least cleaned him up before letting him sit back there. I was wondering what the white supremacists were thinking. The poor guy didn't realize that he was being used by the Chump camp. I'm pretty sure that he wasn't invited to the after rally party. I meant let him spruce up before making him put on the tshirt that they provided for him. I wonder if they let him keep the t-shirt. Maybe they were worried that if they let him spiffy up people would have thought that he was Ben Carson.


What, is that a large SUV in the ditch, upside down :-)

So many folks in the large long carriage SUV's and the large trucks that are light in the rear end are very frequently seen in the ditches, many upside down.

Commuted to Anchorage for 15 years and we used to laugh so hard at the die hard "Alaska" men and women that would drive too fast in the wrong vehicle for conditions and end up just like in the photo.  "But we've got studded tires", they would say, and we would say "Yes we can see those studs on your tires glinting in the sun when your vehicle is upside down in the median".

15 years, no accidents and never upside down in a ditch.


Oh, you mean the same Wes Keller that tried to block a routine resolution that celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts, solely because he wanted to vet rumors that others said they saw on the internet that linked the Girl Scouts to Planned Parenthood? Thanks for the laugh.

Good ole Wes was just pandering to  comments of Republican Indiana Rep. Bob Morris, who called the Girl Scouts a “radicalized organization” based on similar rumors. Morris sent a letter to Indiana lawmakers saying he was planning to withdraw his daughters from the Girl Scouts, alleging that they “are a tactical arm of Planned Parenthood, encourage sex and allow transgender females to join.”


Deport.


Spain just upped the ante. They said they will be imploring super large extremely huge floor jacks to jack up La Palma a few thousand feet.


not really

Canada stands to gain from Trump's policies mostly because renegotiation on NAFTA will be to Mexico's detriment, our pipelines will be built and our infrastructure will be developed in partnership with the USA

Another side benefit  - we now get to play the sanctimonious leader of the free world in america's absence

Case in point the PMO going after Fox for tweeting about the wrong man

Instead of criticizing  the SDQ who made the wrongful arrest  and is rife with racism - Trudeau - as usual heads for the low hanging fruit

All rather pathetic


SUL:  You are right but some acts are so horrific that they demand an immediate response.  Using chemical weapons on children is one of those acts.  Apparently not to you but that's on you so live with it.  I've read the War Powers Act numerous times.  I doubt that you have.  We have been involved in Syria ever since Obama expanded the war into Syria so don't put this on Trump.  It is true that he will have to clean it up but it is not true that he made the mess.


Since cellphone radiation is non ionising it cannot be measured in microsieverts (and there's no evidence that non-ionising radiation can harm you) but for comparison - eating a banana will give you about 0.1 microsieverts of radiation.

I actually looked up all the numbers the other day (yes, this is the kind of thing I do for fun)... before you can get a dangerous dose of ionising radiation (which is the stuff you get from nuclear weapons and such) by eating bananas you would rupture your gutt 222-thousand times over. You need to eat about half a million bananas to get what US occupational-safety standards consider a dangerous annual dose. And you have to do it in one sitting (because the radioactive potassium-40 is is exreted) - and the average stomach can only hold about 5l of food before bursting (22 and half average bananas worth).

And phones have less radiation than that - and not even the dangerous ionising kind.


Oh, by all means.  And then some.

No response to your misstatement 'bout Liriano's ERA, in which your glass was completely empty?


Alcohol, coffee, tobacco are also drugs. MJ is not "dope". I don't think that term has been used to describe marijuana since 1960 or 70. Dope is meth, heroin, and other strong, highly addictive, dangerous and illegal drugs

The writer of this piece failed to mention one of the Ducks goals came after a missed off sides call, another after a missed icing call, and the interference on Talbot was a sure thing, the Refs and Linesmen SUCKED in this game.  It was truly a disgusting display of either bias or ineptitude.


Anything we can do may improve turnout and we should do it all: mail-ins; motor voter; register to vote and same day voting; etc. Until we try all these actions we will never know if turnout will improve. Those who resist these changes probably do not want to alter voting patterns and are afraid the applecart will be upset. For example we might get a result here which parallels the national chaotic situation, who knows.....but that is democracy and we need to do all that we can to perpetuate and facility democracy in our homeland. Our nation is based on the idea that the citizens will be the best ones to chose the leadership, and this means we have to create a voting system so that no one is impeded or deterred from voting. Through this process, the idea is that the voters will become better educated about the issues and the candidates. Democracy is based on education and knowledge, not fake news or gossip.


Politically correct nonsense - especially irritating from such a staunchly white bread paper like the Globe and Mail where much -though admittedly not all- of the writing about foreign societies  comes from Anglophones who don't speak the language of or have never lived in the country they are purporting to interpret to Canadians. I trust Eric Reguly to give me the vibe on Italy. I don't trust Margaret Wente to explain the Dutch psyche to me or Doug Saunders to reveal Poland.


This is a great example  for future student athletes, the three boneheads in this article had it made, a few poor choices led them down a road and obviously they are not doing well, stuck in the past, unable to move forward with life and still fighting in a courtroom. I guarantee that piece of side action made a top 5 list, properly titled "Worst Mistakes I ever made".


The National Popular Vote bill would replace state winner-take-all laws that award all of a state’s electoral votes to the candidate who get the most popular votes in each separate state (not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, but later enacted by 48 states), in the enacting states, to a system guaranteeing the majority of Electoral College votes for, and the Presidency to, the candidate getting the most popular votes in the entire United States.

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


I think the phrase should be changed to: "D"rifters.... gonna Drift.


Or at any rate policies the electorate doesn't dislike in the future.  The Bank of International Settlements---the bank of central banks---has said that Canada is showing signs of a made in Canada financial and banking crisis a few years down the road.  If that happens,  with the government needing to prop up financial institutions while less able to do so thanks to increasing deficits,   together with the inevitable made in Canada recession. the name of any government and its policies will be "mud",  just as that of the Republicans was in 2008.  Lisa Raitt then would make a very attractive alternative.


ACLU should pay for housing for these homeless.


Here is another conservative, evangelical Christian who won't be voting on Tuesday.


How pathetic.  Now repubs lie and tell us that trump won the people's vote.  Is that you Hair Twitler?

"Most" of us voted for Hillary.  Quit pretending otherwise, liar.  I see that you changed your screen name once more.  Banned again, were you?


The utter rigidity of their refusal to compromise on the matter shows they have made the burqa a power greater than human rights. They have made a false god and idol of the burqa and hijab.

Sadly its true.


We should be working on providing equal protection under the law for all Americans. We have yet to achieve that goal. That would be very patriotic.


Are you commenting here only to be argumentative or do you really think your comments help the discussion?


This is how your Republicans in Congress make simple things so screwed up. They make special provisions for citizens that are different in every state.  Sure it is great when you are in Alaska and get special treatment. But how about things Alaskans do not get but residents of other states do.  Having a national program implies it is the same for all citizens.
How crazy is this: you live in Alaska and are covered for some problem. You move to another state and it no longer covered.


1 he makes a good amount of money 2 I'm his son 3 he did get the god off of him I seen it and that picture makes the dog look inecint and my dad a criminal


Researchers. There is many things you could add to the list. Like a valley legislator who was fined and said he was responsible and never paid up, ($7000); a chief of staff to a valley senator who pulled a gun, got the charge reduced and off she went to re-hab with the claim that she called in, (not), and assisted all last leg session for full pay and bennies, ($120,000 a year), from a rehab clinic stateside no less and it goes on and on......


Where's that "support" been in the Special Elections (by-elections?). In every single one, the GOP has lost double-digits leads, and come damn close to losing districts that have been safely Republican for decades.

And you think for a minute, supposing what you posit was in anyway honest, that it was 1.2 million a year?  Michael, that simply isn't possible given just the population at the time, let alone the better morals practiced by the majority of people then. I know there was crime, and many bad people, but sexual mores were much different back then as opposed to now.
Why would anyone believe Margaret Sanger over the US government statistics?  Why would anyone believe her, given just her agenda, alone?  She was a sick and twisted individua, a racist, friend to the KKK, supporter of eugenics, who said this:
“…human weeds,’ ‘reckless breeders,’ ‘spawning… human beings who never should have been born.”  Margaret Sanger, Pivot of Civilization, referring to immigrants, African Americans and poor people.
Many of her infamous racist comments can be found here:

So the West is interfering in fighting between Muslim sects.

I agree with Samuelson's 'solution'!

"Under Mankiw’s proposal, the airline would have to offer passengers enough money so that four of them would decide to take the money or some combination of a free ticket and cash. Let’s assume that two passengers require $1,000 plus a free ticket, a third accepts a $1,200 buyout and the last sets a price of $1,500.

"I would tweak Mankiw’s proposal by requiring that all the bumped passengers receive the highest payment. In this case, it’s $1,500. (On this issue, it’s not clear where Mankiw stands.) So the airline’s total cost would be $6,000, plus the cost of vouchers for new tickets. I would also put an upper limit for each passenger, calculated as some multiple of a full ticket price, but it would be high."


I would so love to see these people get all the oppression they insist they receive, just for a year.
Just to see.
Give them a world where you ACTUALLY can't say Christmas.
A world where the name 'Geoff' on a resume puts it in the trash.
Give them a world where they suddenly get a 20% pay cut, and then 70 women every day tell them to smile more.
Give them a world where their polo shirt makes people nervous, so they're kicked off the flight from Pittsburgh to Indianapolis.
Give them a world where they inherited nothing but a very real understanding of what oppression really is.
Give them a world where if they pulled up on a campus with torches lit and started throwing hands, the cops would punch their eyes out."


Get real.. Bob Stanfield was a brilliant and erudite man. He  graduated from  Dalhousie in  economics and political science with highest honours, and got his law degree at Harvard. He was the first Canadian to edit  the Harvard Law review. and was the premier of  Nova Scotia for eleven years.

Mr Stanfields distinguished career and intellectual accomplishment does not seem to resemble in any way Mr Scheers brief turn in the insurance industry  before signing on with the Reform Party.

But then Mr Stanfield led a very different party.


If in fact the russians were involved, the voter should thank them for exposing the evil of the DNC

I don't care about the politics in Spain, or Japan, or most other places.  I have decided to treat the USA the same way.  They can do what they like.
When Macleans landed on my steps with a cover of Trump, it went straight into the recycling.

My peace of mind is more important than worrying about what those idiots down south are doing.

localguy, you are right  that they haven't demonstrated those capabilities. But they also haven't shown that they can't . It would be very unfortunate if they proved they could by hitting Honolulu. Like you, I hope our intell types are verifying NK's capabilities.


"My point ia we offer far above min wage because of high demand but low supply of workers! So why should a job with high supply pay the same?!"

The entire concept of pay equity, rather than pay equality, is founded on the notion of "work of perceived equal value", which is a soft argument that is essentially malleable.  Who determines that work is of "equal value"?

Consider the primary argument that child care should be valued MUCH more highly than it is. The market says, "It's a job that requires little education, little skill, and that many adults get into simply by having a child, so there's a huge volume of labour that can do the work." Pay equity advocates, however, argue around the value of the work to society, and because raising the next generation of workers/taxpayers is important, it should get paid more. It's a fundamental disconnect from the realities of the market.


Health and dental benefit plans are currently included as taxable benefits to employees.  The employer-paid premiums are considered taxable, so CRA is already taking their cut.

The Trudeau state has told us capital punishment is not permitted and is not appropriate.  I disagree most vociferously in the case where children are slain.  It would appear some prisoners do also - I disagree with prisoners carrying out justice, it should be done by the state, but the judge was limited by the state in this case.


How in the hell is the motivation thing an "excuse" by the player or me? That's what he's doing g, and you know it. You're whole stance is BS and you know it.

Yeah, thanks, it was obvious you didn't like Marshall from the jump, not ground breaking stuff there.


"they are almost three times more white male CEOs than there should be." Only if you assume CEOs should represent the current population demographics, or something is wrong, and that something is discrimination.

But why should that be? CEOs don't become CEOs overnight. There is a long process of education, socialisation, and selection involved. Of course long established groups will be better represented than newcomer ones.

Layoffs are usually done on the basis of who the company considers essential to its functioning and which peripheral. When unionized, it is usually done by seniority, and yes, that advantages those long established populations.

So yes, it is not surprising that the CEO will in the majority be white and male, in countries where long established populations are white, and women have only recently joined the workforce. That does not mean it is "discrimination".


Deeper spirituality through personal prayer, familial conversation with God.  15 minutes or so a day, perhaps jump-started with that day's Gospel passage.

Deeper spirituality through a daily examination of conscience, done in the presence of God, reconciling our intellect, with our will, with our appetites and body.

Deeper spirituality through reading 5 minutes of the New Testament every day, putting your self into the "scene" of each passage, becoming one more character in the scene.

Deeper spirituality by meditating on the Passion of Jesus Christ, perhaps using a good set of meditations of the Stations of the Cross.

Deeper spirituality by re-living the life of Jesus Christ from the perspective of His Mother, Mary, using the Rosary.

Deeper spirituality by a good Confession, prepared, sincere, abandoning, with great trust and faith.

Deeper spirituality by going to Mass more frequently, and putting more love into our participation at Mass.


Bravo John!!!!. This article was long overdue. For too long this nation has covered up its backup quarterback

that King Canada has no clothes, the reaction is just as tiresome and predictable.

I do so apologize John.  I am not a product of the local school systems and as a result I was not educated to communicate in one syllable words.  Anyway the meaning of  the quote you cite is obvious to anyone familiar with the nuances of CB spellcheck. Grasping at straws, poor fellow.


Do any of you guy's understand supp;y and demand? The refinery's shut down, supply decreased, demand remained the same and prices went up. How much of that was a function of "I better buy now", and I better raise my prices now", is open to speculation.


Actually, his novels have troubled a number of indigenous critics for their perpetuation of racist stereotypes. The mainstream media ignored these, most likely because Boyden was considered indigenous and so they saw it as a quarrel within the culture. If he'd been perceived as White, they'd have had to address the concerns of the indigenous critics.

And he really hasn't "enlightened" White Canada to First Nations problems. Indeed, he's often contradicted leaders of the indigenous community. And, again, he was given a free pass by the mainstream media because he was considered one of those leaders and therefore entitled to a seat at the table.

I'd compare this scandal to that of James Frey's A Million Little Pieces. Anyone who knows anything about fiction knows the authenticity of voice is crucial. Picaresque novels have always been popular and most pretend to be true stories. Boyden's voice matters to how we perceive his fiction. If he's a con artist, what's he conned us into?

"Deterrence with nuclear weapons works - no country that has acquired them has since been subjected to a large-scale military attack."

And roosters crowing early in the morning don't make the sun rise.
Most countries have not been subjected to a large-scale military attack regardless of having nuclear weapons or not.

To my knowledge, it's not been really established if the commercial haulers pay their "fair" share of the costs or not.  I'm not sure just what the taxpayer subsidy really is.  Could appreciable savings result from having those commercial haulers all tip directly at Short Mountain instead of Glennwood?...(tons of trash would then not have to be transferred, leading to considerable savings.) Is an icreased charge for commercial haulers appropriate?  I don't know any of these answers.  I do know that closing rural transfer sites will create more problems than it solves.


Eugene is no longer the sleepy little burg of the past. There are some real wack jobs out there, and the number of violent incidents( many just random ) appears to be increasing. There was a couple threatened at knife point in the Rose Garden just yesterday. I've resisted so far the temptation to arm myself, but I have to admit it's getting harder to rationalize not doing so.

You do realize that most bike commuters don't ride in their office clothes, right? We carry our clothes, do a sponge bath and apply deodorant when we get there (or shower if we're lucky enough to have a shower at work) and fluff up the hair using a hair brush and a spritz of water. I rode to work off and on (mostly on) for more than 25 years and never had a problem with being sweaty at work.

Can you list a piror president who has had so many indictments so early in his administration?  Hell he hasn't even been in office a year yet.  How can you say the Donald is draining the swamp?  He has only made it ten times larger and he filled it with slime.  So typical of republicans.  Enjoy the corruption while you can.

As for Russia, you are just being silly.  Russia paid big bucks, on social media to spread their message.  Are you saying advertising doesn't work?

No, I voted for sweet Hillary as voting for the town Butcher just made absolutely no sense.  Ultimate in stupidity.

Fools.  Time to load up on this hog.


The picture with the article indeed represents well the environment where those types of vehicles are appropriate - construction, agricultural, natural resources extraction. The problem we as a society now have is that we commit to a reduction of carbon footprint for the common good but our governments and financial institutions make it easier for folks to pile up debts acquiring those vehicles and large SUVs, and national media contribute to glorify them. Just in the provine of Quebec, the F-150 is the top selling make; I did not believe this until this summer when I could see the effects of those on overcrowded parking lots and the very high number of those trucks on the road. Time for the population to apply a bit of self-discipline and for the governments to heavily tax those at the acquisition unless you have a legitimate work usage for such vehicles. City slickers & most condo dwellers do not need them.


If you think Donald Trump isn't cut to the bone by being snubbed by every major act he has asked to perform at his inauguration, you don't have the faintest idea about what makes him tick. We are talking about a man whose need for adulation is so great that he continued his campaign rallies AFTER WINNING THE ELECTION just to bask in more cheering crowds. Boycotting the inauguration is one thing, but many performers will be taking part in events on the same day to further hamper Trump's audience numbers. The resistance to Trump's presidency begins the day he is sworn in. A battle for the soul of America is about to begin. I think trump is going to lose that battle.


Having grown up in the "Sticks and stones..." era I would say this generation doesn't understand there are times it would be better to shame someone than to prosecute them.


I say what I say in part -because- of the history you allude to. But I understand Israel is not a nuclear weapon state-- and if they were, US law would force us to cease all military aid to them as a non-declared nuclear power not subject to the terms and conditions of the NPT. This is long-standing Federal law, and violating it would be a capital offense. The darkness, falseness, and dehumanizing feudalistic manipulation of our lying hypocritical enslaving functionally-fascistic military-industrial complex and the predilection and affront of their profoundly wrongful policies of US national malaise and despoilment and evil defiance of our Enlightenment philosophy liberal democracy creep in endlessly from the margins like the fenestrated hull of a sinking ship of fools lets in the cold drowning waters of the sea.


"No such thing  as sacred rocks..." Maybe somebody should tell the Muslims and Jews about the Dome of the Rock and the Temple of Solomon. Then  the Brits and Scots about the Stone of Scone and the Irish about the Blarney Stone. It seems that discrimination against Hawaiian culture is worse in the Pae `Aina than anywhere else in the world.


Total nonsense. Bear spray is 92% effective in getting the bear to leave.

A person is far more likely to "hit" the bear with bear spray than with a firearm.


I completely agree.  I saved a ton of tax when I incorporated and sold my sole practice to my corp and used the capital gains tax exemption that was available (long since gone).  After that, my accountant concluded that in my personal situation I was saving little or nothing in taxes with the corp, after all the costs of maintaining the corp were taken into account.

If she was wearing fricking hip boots they would have been mad about that also. The Fake News Media will never be happy about anything any of the Trumps do. No use even expecting otherwise. If The Prez offered the people of Houston all 100K of his own money the press would still call him a cheapskate and say he should have gave more. Can't please them, no use trying.


Sorry Hick. Money talks or Cory walks. He's bought and paid for by big pharma, big health insurance, and big energy. He has zero concern for the people of Colorado.


Hi Michael,
What do you mean ‘the why of morality’?  Are you referring to the social morality or the Catholic morality?
“If God has an agenda in sexual ethics for some kind of divine holiness,..”  God is not a finite man, “I AM WHO I AM.”   I wonder if God has an agenda in anything?
I am not a homosexual, thus I am not able to talk about it one way or another.  However, we, human need to be/live, i.e., ‘to be is to love’.


You only wish, truly wake up !!!


Thank you for your comment, Outsider77.  In the case of misquotes where the actual quote is recorded, those misquotes are not a matter of opinion, they are lies.  And that is my point.  Donald Trump is not only a liar, he has based his career on lies.  You may call that a "personal aspect", but I consider it germane to his qualification to be president.  This is not a policy disagreement, which I can accept; this calls into question his basic ethical foundation, which I consider to be built on the sand of duplicity.

I respect your intelligence, Outsider, but I sometimes think there are holes through which you allow primitive impulses to pass.  That is entirely my suspicion, and I hope it is not true.  Otherwise, I think you are a smart and entertaining raconteur.


BS BS and more BS.


as always my husband reads the paper and when he is done reading your write up  of the weeks  it comes my way..I   just wanted to thank you for the great reads you have provide me over the years..Merry Christmas to you and yours ..


Francis does not "encourage those in irregrular situations to compound their sin by self-justification and abuse of the sacraments."  Affirming that involves a reckless reading of the Pope's words on the question of when there can be an opening to the sacraments for those in irregular situations. Such a reading just happens to be fashionable in the anti-Francis circles at the moment.

I immigrated to this country. No one stopped me. I waited my turn, completed the requirements, and paid the fees. If you wanted to emigrate to my country, you would have to do the same.


I don't think any Democrat would've won in a landslide. It's unusual for the same party to stay in power after two terms. Even though Obama brought the country back from the precipice after the crash in 2008 it took a long time for the economy to recover, and voters were restless.

Voters didn't just vote against Hillary, they voted FOR Trump. Many Americans are magical thinkers willing to tolerate, or even welcome, bigotry if some rich guy swaggers around, talks tough and promises the world. Pathetic.

Of course Hillary is rich, too, but people held it against her. For Trump it was considered a virtue.


weeeepa


You have every opportunity to buy in yourself. What's your plan, nationalize all private holdings? Not trade with China? Not invest in China?


Maybe you're right, but then they have to cut and run at some stage.


Hummm.....
I am so sympathetic to all women's issues and daily see the imbalance and unjust environment the have to deal with; so much so I make it a top priority to hire, promote and pay equally; as I see the benefit in my operations that I can not find enough women with the skills I need to fill all my desired openings.
That said and listening to all the "next steps" they want to initiate, policies, legal frame works, further protests, etc... it is screamingly apparent that these are the exact incorrect "next steps".
What they really need to focus on, convince the 54% that voted or Trump. And I don't mean just the election. You all hold 50% of the voting public yet to this day struggle to get things changed for the better of your issues? It's because 50% of you may not want what the other 50% wants.
Your real, most effective "next steps", get your voting mass all on the same page. Until you do, your only 25% of the electorate.


Moderate Muslims, especially those living in other western countries have no implicit responsibility to address this any more than a white Christian Canadian had to address the sectarian violence in Northern Ireland.


The issue is one of trust.  A democratic society or constitutional republic requires the leaders and the populous to operate with a high degree of personal and collective responsibility.  When these conflict the collective good should prevail.  This discourse requires an adherence to certain values.  Most important is the ability to tell the truth.  Transparency is key because it allows for the inevitable biases to be know and factored in.
These conditions are not being met at present and will not be until moderates from both sides come to the middle.  Ideology is taking preference to solving the problems of people.  By the way, one of the primary functions of government is to regulate business.  We've lost our way.


Until the government bites the bullet and cleans up the bureaucracy that hinders every single decision made by any government we never see any improvements. Elected officials come and go, but the mandarins live on in their own little fiefdoms that they will defend to the death. Until that mess gets cleaned up we always have kids dying of rotten water and over doses and homeless and disadvantaged.

Remember, for all of the money the elected officials earn, that amount is vastly overshadowed by what is wasted by the bureaucracy that no one seems able to touch.


Verify not trust... get in b/w.


One thing not enough people consider is the closer we move to a  strict limit on contributions the closer we get to a re-connection with single voter politics. The notion of a single vote being able to influence political decisions. Obviously our current system has created the opposite scenario which only continues to disenfranchise voters and erode voter turnout,  which few would argue is approaching disastrous levels. When less then 30% of eligible voters decide our elections we simply no longer have a representative government. Strict limits on contributions and single term limits are badly needed before we can begin to rebuild faith in our government at every level.


So when do we deport him? I hear he has a high-price job offer from Russia.


Maybe this sounds better in Spanish:

To be men! That is the Stalinist law! . . .
We must learn from Stalin
his sincere intensity
his concrete clarity. . . .
Stalin is the noon,
the maturity of man and the peoples.
Stalinists, Let us bear this title with pride. . . .
Stalinist workers, clerks, women take care of this day!
The light has not vanished.
The fire has not disappeared,
There is only the growth of
Light, bread, fire and hope
In Stalin's invincible time! . . .
In recent years the dove,
Peace, the wandering persecuted rose,
Found herself on his shoulders
And Stalin, the giant,
Carried her at the heights of his forehead. . . .
A wave beats against the stones of the shore.
But Malenkov will continue his work.

corporate slavery that is all Trudeau is talking about here - whether its forcing religion down our throats or mass immigration it is all about the dollars for a few, screwing anyone born in the West not already wealthy and connected.
Treason trial then execution for the entire cabinet in my opinion in a few years when the results of these anti-sovereignty moves are clear.


So when the emails are provided by Donald Trump Jr and he along with two others admit they attended the meeting it must be false news.  The deniers support Trump are almost unbelievable as the deflect this information to the Clinton did this defense.  In the end Muller will be investigating and decide where this goes; Muller  not Ed Rogers, Sean Hannity or any other pro-Trump media member.


Nah we are watching you lose your mind over Democrats shooting back.


The NDP zealots of Alberta did us a massive disservice by removing Muclair after the second best results the NDP have ever received. Yes he faired poorly against    the media adoration of Trudeau, Liberal lefty platform lies and hair but he would have absolutely crushed JT in the next campaign where fibs about sunny ways won't be enough to get Trudeau through a debate. Singh, whom I like, won't be able to compete in our fptp system and those who stabbed Muclair in the back know it. They've doomed us to Trudeau until he's despised enough to elect a Conservative.


Yes, I completely agree with you. So so so sad.

This poor family and Bella. I am so sorry.


...and Hillary gave over $12.4M to the Russians with the DNC.  Obama gave over $972,000 reported yesterday.  Hillary RECIEVED over $145M for handing over our uranium which is treason.  Then she destroyed all of the computers and emails she had.  LOL!!
Trump's evidence of ANY guilt is ZERO, while Hillary's and Obama's are a MOUNTAIN of evidence compared to that!

Keep trying little snowflakes, while Trump is moving forward to get rid of the freaks that inhabit your dying party.


Damn your stupid and gullible. When has he not changed his mind with the way the political winds are blowing. But you just keep believing, right through no border wall, a pass for DACA, and tax cut's for the rich. God you folks are stupid

The Eucharist is certainly a beautiful and important sacrament and ritual, full of meanings. However, it is not the only way God is present in the world and not even the most important or powerful.

There is a lot of discussion here that verges on nitpicking doctrines. I don't find that kind of thing interesting, but I suggest that, among these fine distinctions, some will appeal to some people and others to others. We certainly would not want to force others to believe things that do not make sense to them about these fine distinctions and make them feel alienated and disconnected from their religion, would we? What good would that do except to boost the triumphant egos of the people prevailing in writing Catechism and canon laws. Let there be some slosh.


We have hate laws in place in canada use them !!! we do not need to take one barbaric so called religion and place it on a pedestal with it own set of rules concerning speech. M-103 is nothing more than a way to silence free speech against islam and get Islam teachings into our school's system and start sharia law in Canada. Please take a look at the UK,France,Sweden,Australia they would love to change now but it is too late for them and have been taken over


I guess we will have to condemn Angela Merkel as an Islamophobic and bigoted racist for stating her opinion that the Islamic face veil for women is incompatible with integration in Germany and should be banned.


Great to wear a helmet if you want, I often do. But helmets should be the absolute last line of defense. Safe infrastructure design that removes the risk from cars should be the first priority.
When that is done properly, helmets are almost never necessary.


The average of the major opinion polls showed Clinton with a 6-7% lead over Trump before Comey's letter became public but this dropped to 2-3% afterwards. The latter polls very accurately predicted Clinton's lead in the final popular vote total. Since Trump won each of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin by 0.2% to 0.7%, it is clear that, without Comey's letter, Clinton would have won these three states (and possibly Florida) and would be President today. This doesn't excuse the very poor campaign that she ran but does suggest that Comey should feel nauseated.

Hypothetical arguments don't really hold much water Chuck. You're still painting this as if veils are some massive Islamist conspiracy. There are hundreds of thousands of moderate, normal, average Muslims in Canada. The fanatics are a rare bunch and, as past experience shows, are typically turned in by moderates when warranted. Calm down, you're seeing extremists everywhere when the reality is that you'll probably never see one in your life. Get a grip.


This would be a humorous piece if Yakabuski wouldn't be so warmongeringly serious.  He is happy that Trump has morphed into the bellicose Hillary Clinton.  While the military-media-political establishment cheers, this will not make Trump's base in the anti-interventionist Conservative community happy! See Justin Raimondo's articles on the topic on antiwar.com.


Roger Mann1,
So Democratic that all this women applauded when Madona came on stage an loudly stated that she'll want to go and Bomb the white House.
How about that.


But you have repeatedly advocated murdering impoverished Appalachian "hillbillies", Indian "untouchables", native Alaskans or any other class of human beings that don't meet your particularly standards of 'acceptability'.

The advice that Vi and Victor have received from their broker is unconscionable.  First, interest on borrowed money is NOT tax-deductible when the money is invested in a registered account (i.e. RRSP and TFSA).  If they've been deducting this money and Revenue Canada catches them they will face a huge tax bill.  It's unbelievable their broker (or fund salesman) recommended this.

Second, I'm going to assume their broker recommended this so they could get over a $500,000 minimum investment threshold.  He's probably charging 1% for his "expert" advice.  The all-equity mutual fund is also likely charging at least 2%.  With $576K and a 15 year time-horizon to retirement and assuming a 7% average annual return in the market they will have just over $1 million.  If they didn't pay these fees they'd have $1.6 million.  That's not a typo. See: http://buyupside.com/calculators/feesdec07.htm

The same holds for their RESP.  $72K, 7% return, 7 year horizon = $116K without fees, $93K with fees.


It's against the law to kill and wound 1000 people too Jim but guess what? The shooters don't care!


Canada is no model.  Do you think that simply by being here the immigrants are behaving any differently than anywhere else in the world?  Get your  head out of the sand.  What is happening in the Netherlands is happening everywhere, including Canada. The only difference is the Dutch have a leader with the stones to want to act on it. More power to him and those like him.

Moore, not to be confused with Roy Moore, is joining the religious liberty pander, but at least he knew that Trump is fake. His followers, however, are very tribal and they love their Trump and his authoritarianism, which is not liberty. The line about social dominance is priceless and could easily fit Lori or Chaput.

What did actually happen? You weren't there. And for years the argument that gun-nuts have continued to put forth to support CCW is all about "what if." This constant fantasy in your head that you need a gun on you every minute of every day because "what if" someone confronts you and threatens you. So, can you answer my question: "Are you saying that a shopper who pulled their own CC gun and confronted another CC customer with a gun drawn would stop to introduce themselves and have the time and mental acumen to assess that this was not the shooter? Data please."


Mr. Trump will be a GREAT president.  Give the man a chance and stop being so HATEFUL.


Today, more than ever I see how Turdo destroys Canada.
Today, thousands of skilled Europeans are looking for opportunities to immigrate to Canada and are not accepted.
Today our current marijuana boy accepts only muslims (current or potential terrorists) simply for one reason.
They will vote for him in the future elections.
Today, immigrants from European countries are discriminated in Canada, especially in Governments of all levels.
Someone has to answer the questions:
What are Canadian interests?
What we are trying to build in Canada. Are we building Canadastan?
Why we are still supporting nazi regimes? Is it one of the Canadian values.
When we will start fighting corruption in Canada. (If Ontario government is not corrupted then what is corruption?)
When Canadian media will start reporting true information from the field and stop using the information created by US employees of Associated Press?
Can not type more questions. I do not have any more chars left.


how soon the sheep of liberal children forget that Harper was one of the best pm's we have ever had,, keeping canada's economy better than all others after the world crash!, a fiscal record first of deficits that the LIBERALS wanted , then in majority working down the deficits until balance books WITHOUT raising taxes or slashing transfer payments! now thats solid management!.. too bad we now have corrupt traitor liberals only interested in a UN seat over the needs of Canadians


Sloppy comparison: compassion and comfort are part of the job description for people in your mother's profession.  Co-workers often need encouragement in dealing with difficult situations, and hugs and soothing talk are part of the process.  Very different from the topic in discussion.


Okay, I read about this now for awhile.  I've read the stories and the complaints about Lange.  I have come to the reluctant conclusion that this is primarily about race.  The failings cited here and elsewhere do not rise, IMHO, to the level that would call for termination or reassignment.  The vigor with which her detractors pursue her appears unsupported by reported facts.  Seriously, two mistakes in grammar in a newsletter?  If she was a grammar teacher that might or might not be a concern.  As principal, her job is not to teach and if she made grammar mistakes they will not affect the children.  What does a principal do at an elementary school?  Likely district paperwork and teacher evaluations along with enforcing district guidelines.  So why is not the district office citing significant failures rather than teachers?  The district would be in a better position to evaluate her performance.  The teacher's perspective will be largely personal.

It is sad to see open racism.


The point that is so often ignored is the number of concessions other industries have to make because of one small segment in the agricultural sector. Every trade deal that we go into this issue of protection for the dairy industry comes up. In preliminary talk on TPP it was there. In the CETA deal concessions were finally given with the promise that cheese manufacturers in Canada would be compensated. There are 12 thousand dairy farms in Canada, they are no the backbone of the agricultural sector, and the continued protection by all political parties simply has to stop.


Thanks for the reminder... I need to go give a few alms to Mr. Djou to ensure the corruption and ethical ambiguity ends this fall.

Am I really that naive? No. But at this point, it's definitely NO MORE KIRK!


Freedom of speech, whether one approves of the content or not, is a fundamental cornerstone of liberty. The people are just as equal in their right to judge the content thereof, and to criticize as well. Using violence as we have seen recently to suppress free speech shows a basic lack of understanding not only the principles of free speech, but it's inherent place in a free society.
Thus there are few limitations placed on the exercise of free speech, and examples of those have been given in past court rulings where it has come up, one being yelling fire in a crowded theatre.
Shame we have those who would violently suppress such, and attack the very foundation of individual liberty that America has been so blessed to have, and be upheld as a basic right. One doesn't have to agree with the content, but one should have the intelligence to realize just how important that right is.
But their will always be those who must employ violence, and that is sad.
Mr. Gorsuch is right.


This is different than that. These beers use different yeast that normal IPAs and have a very different mouthfeel. Our past stories on the subject discussed this.


the TV's were too close to the counter and I hurt myself.


When I first read about the Khadr settlement yesterday, the first thing that immediately came to mind was a scene from the excellent, underrated 90s flick, A Bronx Tale.
In it, the local mafia boss, Sonny (Chazz Palminteri) watches as Calogero (a.k.a."C," played by Lillo Brancato), runs and jeers at a deadbeat across the street who owes him $20 (a tidy sum in the 1960s Bronx). As C starts after him, Sonny yells and calls him back.
C protests that the guy's been giving him the slip for 2 weeks. But then Sonny asks if he's a friend of his. C says no, he doesn't even like the guy.
"You don't even like him? There's your answer right there," says Sonny. "Look at this way: it cost you 20 dollars to get rid of him. He's never going to bother you again. He's never going to ask you for money again. He's out of your life for 20 dollars. You got off cheap. Forget it."
A bargain, if ever there was one. And so is $10 million if we don't have to see or hear the words "Omar Khadr" ever again.


Wait until the first lawsuit...the park is a lovely place to just walk around and not have to worry about things flying around. Safety first, of everyone!


Awesomeness go Trump Make America Great Again. Turn Oregon RED


You can thank the ACLU and liberals for that.  They have branded such otherwise helpful reporting into something that's supposedly offensive/objectionable.  And yes, even though such information, as you point out, would help find the perp.


It owes the money no matter what people do with it.


Hello Alliance,

Regarding your comments:

1. You can go online and find Trudeau's December 2016 quote, "We’re on a track towards increasing immigration". That followed the July 2016 news, "Moreover, the government of Canada is planning to welcome even more newcomers over the coming years", onwards and upwards from how "Canada Welcomed a Record 320,932 New Immigrants Over the Past Year".

2. Justin Trudeau won 39 percent of the popular vote. You ask, how can that be core voters for the Liberals? Hello? Certainly that could be core voters for the Liberals. Do you think there is some kind of rule that the 2015 Liberal base cannot be 39 percent of voters?

There is no fallacy in what I wrote.


Why people with common sense would vote for anything with a GOP label is beyond me. They go out of their way to create policies that hurt the average person but they then tell you it's good for you and the people believe. I know voters are somewhat short sighted but American voters have become a special kind of fool.

Hey lets cut medicare and social services  so we can spend more on the bloated military budget and give tax breaks to the ultra wealthy... I mean it's already larger than the next 8 countries combined ... lets see if we can grow that to the next 10 countries. How dumb can America get, that's the next question.


I don't think Frances Robinson can because she fabricated "the fact." She might want to call the student newspaper? They would have the data on the "number" of women faculty and administrative assistants "threatening to quit."


True, "weather" and "climate" may not be the same, just as "natural selection" and "evolution" are not the same thing either. But many people think they are.....and that if Al Gore can tell us that average temperature of the world is going to go up by a degree or two by 2100, he should be able to tell us what the weather will be like on Oct. 31, 2100 in Denver.


There is alot that could be done to this woman as justice is concerned. Now lets focus on prevention of this atrocity so those abused childrens nightmares dont go without fruit.
Foster care reform and nieghbors keeping a community mind.
The stories of famine struck me hard. I propose everyone on here who has an opinion go plant a fruit tree in a nieghborhood for everyone to eat from or in your own yards and share the fruit. Its a start. One tree. One hundred dollar investment. Over $1000 in fruit a year. Apples. Pears. Plums. Cherries. Apricots.  Check on the kids while you hand them out. Hear thier cries.


Cat's out of the bag so you might as well bring up NOAA doctoring climate data before the Paris conference to manipulate the behaviour of the limited. A good idea to have someone dummy it down & explain it to you first however. Maybe show him a selfie of you & Eco-Barbie McKenna in Paris so he can appreciate the nostalgia of two weak minds in a single frame.


Trump becomes more and more like Cartman every day.


Roger that.  "Mature Australian pines" would have been accurate, but "mature pines" isn't because Casuarina trees aren't pines.


Just a couple  days ago they agreed to start driving the supplies. But for the last 3 weeks they were on strike even at the worst of the storms and  relief  supplies arrived  from FEMA as promised. But without Trump breathing down their necks, they would probably still refuse to.


This must be the shortest political campaign in Alaska history.

Wise move, Mayor Dan.

4 accidental deaths within a 2 year period?  I'm supremely sorry these events occurred, but compared to other reason for accidental deaths this is a drop in the bucket.  Why focus on the fact that guns were involved?  In comparison lets look at the number of auto accidents that resulted in death during that same period.  That number is 1035 according to CDOT data: https://www.codot.gov/library/traffic/safety-crash-data/fatal-crash-data-city-county.  Sure, this data isn't broken down into the fear mongering tactic of counting involved children, but you get the picture of the scale that we're talking about.  Accidental gun related deaths are a very small problem compared to other accidental sources.

No one ever suggests that cars should be illegal based on the number of deaths they cause, and owning or driving a car isn't even a constitutional right.  You may not choose to exercise your 2nd amendment right, but many people do.  Taking it away from them would be the wrong thing to do.


Instead of going to QP once a week, let's make sure junior doesn't have to go to QP at all after 2019.

That is one of the problems, the Dairy Farmers have such a cosy guaranteed Canadian market  they don't feel any need to export and compete with other countries.. Why don't  they export their  product like the beef and pork farmers .  Because their costs are too high and they  don't have to export , they make a nice living protected by  Supply Management


There is a reason that Canadians have never elected the NDP to power, and silly propositions such as the above can give you some hints why Canadians have such low confidence in them.  While "NDP" stands for the "New Democratic Party", it predecessor name was the Communist Party of Canada until the 1950's.  Other highlights from their policy convention this past weekend was several speeches which declared that they are Canada's socialist party, and they voted explore adopting the "Leaf Manifesto" prior to the next Canadian election.  Aside from numerous "socialist ideals" that the Leaf Manifesto proclaims is the policy that upon being elected the NDP would stop all production and use of any fossil fuel.  That should give you an indication of their future chances of ever holding power in Canada, much less annexing the Turks and Caicos Islands.


It simply means the prosecution did not fulfill its burden of proof, not that the accused did not commit the act in question.


Why do people not use public transportation now? Because it's impeded by traffic. People now have about an hour from the Kapolei and Ewa area. In the very short future it will be double that each way. The buses don't have a dedicated lane so they are impeded by the traffic. Have you ever gone to a city and been on their rail system during rush hour? You just breeze past all the people sitting in traffic and get to your destination in more than half the time and without having to deal with headache of driving in backed up traffic. I always use rail when I travel on vacation. It's convenient and inexpensive.


Yes John, there is much to learn here-- may I recommend McLagan's "A Peculiar Paradise"?  I'd be careful about listening to those who are just learning about our history and try to use it to score political points.

Regarding whipping, that was passed by the Provisional government and quickly  repealed in 1844 without anyone being whipped.  That  temporary government had also passed the Organic Act, derived form the NW Ordinance of 1787 which forbid slavery and supported fair treatment of Indians.
Far more significant to our history, as you say,  was the Exclusionary Act in our Constitution  of 1857 which passed overwhelmingly.  While only George Bush was actually expelled, it sent a dramatic message that blacks were unwelcome in Oregon, as you  noted.
However, as we see here, those who don't want to admit Oregon's history of racism affects us today still claim this law had almost no effect!  This has been the line of Deady's strongest supporters, as Prof. Mooney.


Gad, you're hyper-partisan to a fault.
Democrats haven't blocked missile defense systems. They didn't block THAAD. They didn't block the missile defense systems the Pentagon are now testing.
No, in your warped world, the fault for North Korea's missile test is with the Democrats.
It would never occur to you that leaders of foreign countries are quite capable of acting totally independently of what the president of the United States thinks of them.


Tell China to build an island off Oahu and put them there. Have them farm the land which would help with our self sustainability and the revenues will help pay for their housing.  Put a school, hospital, church and parks on the island.  The Chinese will do it in 6 months just like they did in the South China Sea.  May cost another $10 billion, but what the heck, we spent that amount on a useless Rail.  This would be something that would help everybody.


The city of Denver has an ongoing 10-year program to end homelessness: DENVER'S ROAD HOME.
Denver's Road Home, a department within Denver's Home Services, works with more than 20 community-based service providers to administer coordinated shelter, outreach, job placement and training, and other services for people who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness. The program works across county lines to help coordinate housing and other resources across the seven county Metro area.

Denver's Road Home is committed to ensuring that every man, woman and child who experiences homelessness in our city has an alternative to living on the streets. The success of Denver’s Road Home is thanks to a collaborative partnership among nonprofits, foundations, businesses, individuals, faith-based community, service providers, and government at all levels.

Why aren't they working with the Library to solve this stinky issue & install showers for bathing? For more info: http://bit.ly/2tBN73I


if this were really about getting canadians input the oppostiion leaders would be there as well.


The thing about voting early (Oct 14) is that the last month of political noise just goes over my head.  I have found that the last month contains the most inaccurate information so I do not trust anything put out by anyone.  The debates were all about personality and very little principle, When there is a funny skit, I watch it on the Internet,  This article is one of those that I say, "So What!??"

I plan  to do a Harry Truman. I will go to bed early on the 8th. Television is terrible and read all about in the morning over coffee.

Now do not forget to vote!!!

If he didn't pan out here what makes him think he's gonna pan out else where?
He must've did something severe to get kicked off the team .


Unless I am mistaken, that's the same skin colour as Hillary.


The hardest part is getting your risk tolerance assessed.  Once that is done, the most difficult part of the process is to determine the equity/fixed income ratio mix.   ETFs can cover the Equity (Canada, US, International and Emerging Markets) and Fixed Income (Cash, GIC, Bond etc) portions.  About six ETFs could cover it all off.  Rebalancing involves putting new money towards the worst performing asset while keeping your initial ratio mix in mind.

Simplicity, diversification and low cost.


Where is the economic benefit of building a playpen for the use of billionaire owners and millionaire players?


You seem to be ignorant of the fact that "the wishes of the majority" were/are ignored in the US's Electoral College "system".

Because, except for in two states, it does not apportion their votes to reflect that actual votes (percentage-wise), it literally makes the votes of up to 49.999% of the voters disappear.


"Those who have previously claimed to be allies of the Black lives matter have shown us that they are comfortable with our resistance so long as it fits within particular confines and restrictions.  It is convenient to endorse black lives matter when it benefits you. And as long as we stay silent about Israeli apartheid, they will "stand" with Black liberation in the US. Now that our movement has taken a stand against all forms of white supremacy and oppression, Black lives no longer matter. We want no part in this quid pro quo form of politics.  True solidarity does not come with strings attached.

We've been dealing with this type of hypocrisy with our supposed "allies" for generations.  On the American left, there are many wolves in sheeps clothing.  You have revealed yourselves. And now that we know who you are, we will not forget." -  http://www.dreamdefenders.org/dream_defenders_statement_on_the_condemnation_of_m4bl_platform_by_some_pro_israel_groups


The owners of this land are not the ones that are complaining, right? As far as I can tell there is an issue of disruption of a burial ground that the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has an issue with and the pipeline company has stated they are wiling to work with them on this issue. If these protesters are worried about protecting clean air and water are they wearing 100% plant based/animal based clothing and using non-mined material for everyday life? They certainly are not driving or using oil and gas to heat their houses, Right?


I've got nothing to hide, like most Americans! Google knows more about me than any Commission. The Constitution is the law of the land, has been for 241 years. Only the illegals and felons have something to worry about!

Glad you rely on LeBron for your intellectual guidance.  It certainly shows in your posts.

Well, if the people who want to kill cannot get guns, they would find it harder to kill. But you gun nuts don't give a damn, do you? You think that your precious guns are worth more than human life. You are pro-death.


I agree ordination candidates should be well-educated, theologically trained (using documents later than 1200 maybe), trained as counselors, trained as business and personnel managers (most will end up as pastors or administrators), but why the double heck do so many need to get that all-powerful "Canon Lawyer" degree (whatever it's called)  and why do so many hang around Rome wallowing in extensive education they will NEVER need pastorally?

Don't we need loving, caring, compassionate, merciful, wise, true followers of Jesus instead?

One more example of clericalism gone amok.


Misogyny and Russian hackers are fabricated excuses.  She should "shut up" about them because they are self-serving prevarications


The changes United is making now should have been made many years ago.  But yes, there are racial dimensions to this story as well as socio-economic ones.  I am surprised people had not picked up on the latter dark implications.


Yeah...because Putin's done nothing wrong....
Good poodle...Papa Vlad loves you...


There is no fine money.  It is just an accounting gimmick.  The state takes money out of one pocket and deposits it in the other pocket.  This is why we need a new court in Washington.  Mr. White is correct in saying that the Court has no authority for forming legislation or budgeting.  Yet he implies that it does have the authority to create budget out of a $100,000 a day fine by setting aside the fine for school funding?  If that is the case, then why not make it $1,000,000 a day or $2,000,000 or whatever is needed to fund the schools?  It can't because it doesn't have the authority.  The $100,000 a day fine is a fiction to make the robed figures behind the current feel powerful.  It clearly does not have the power to send Senate and House members to jail.  Tough to run a re-election campaign from behind your own robed arrogance.  We can start anew with three new justices this year.  Three who respect the law and constitution.


Profanity is a vague term, so a list of banned expressions would probably be easier to enforce.  I’d suggest adopting all of the words on George Carlin’s revised and improved list of the 7 Words You Can’t Say On TV.   See his act here:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyBH5oNQOS0


Clearly I know considerably more about bears than you do (and wildlife in general).  The bear "announced itself" with growls and huffing characteristic of Ursus arctos.  Black bears sound different.  The bear shadowed me because it wanted me out of its foraging grounds instead of attacking me without warning, as it would have done had it been interested in killing and eating me.  For which I am thankful.

Instead it followed me for a half hour until I got to my car.  I was fortunate.  My hind-brain kept screaming for me to RUN!  But I knew better than to let a bear see me run.  Apparently you don't.

And in my time in Alaska I have probably encountered in excess of 50 coastal brown bears and a smaller number of black bears (can you say the same?). Once including a sow with three cubs which swatted the water-surface of a stream she was crossing to let me know I shouldn't be where I was when she got there.  I agreed.  On your little trike-trail you'd have never seen her coming.


Actually, Milo's a pederast who condones pedophilia .

The "fake comment" is yours.

The US is a constitutional republic, not a democracy. There's a difference.

I know Pocho but I'm particular in my gas choices. OCD! LoL


Then it's a good thing that I have two State Police Officers, one Springfield Police Officer, one Eugene Police Officer and one retired Eugene Police Officer all within half a block of my house!

All those blue porch lights are sure comforting at night!


"Taking a knee is still a means of showing respect."

No, it's not.  It's just the opposite for this context.  Which is precisely why they're doing it, and precisely why it's getting the attention that it is.

Kneeling in church is a sign of respect.  Maybe you're confusing that with this.  But in the context of the national anthem, kneeling instead of standing is DISRESPECT.  There's no way around that.


Who cares?


Now they're going to get greedy for more tax from MaryJane...


I think most Canadians wish the government would apply more ingenuity and resources toward addressing the issue of tax evasion and offshore tax havens, and less time making tax policy "fair".  Funny how tax policy has to be the same for people who jumped into earning right out of high school or undergrad education, vs those who have spent 10-15 years deferring their earning potential to acquire the necessary skills and education to take care of other Canadians.  To me, in this case, "equal" doesn't translate to "fair".  Where was "fair" when these doctors were working 36 hour shifts for multiple years,  underwriting the costs of medical care with their servitude?  Why is it suddenly unfair to allow doctors, or other small business owners, who have self-funded, deferred income, taken risks, delayed having families often, and sacrificed hugely of personal time, to reap a financial reward greater than that of people who took a far easier and shorter road? Seems like a big double standard.


This is consistent with how HPD handles domestic cases generally, they don't think it's important and often tell the abuser to go cool off rather than arrest them.


There was a fatal incident a few years back in the Arctic (oil or support staff). A woman who went jogging outside the camp like 3 miles or so and was attacked by an allegedly lone wolf and killed. There were no witnesses, but the body proofed wolf attack.
I agree, that is very RARE..I have seen pack of 4 wolves at very close proximity and they could not be bothered with humans even though I had a dog with me, but I held him by my side.


Fetal is so not a good look. Get up before the kids notice.


I've come to the conclusion that mephistopheles has something to do with it.


"The area thought to be contaminated is covered by asphalt that separates soil from human contact. Because Boulder does not use well water, there is no risk to local drinking water, the city has said in the past."

Interesting that the city is suing for damages on one hand while claiming that no damages exist on the other.


I see there are no reporter names shown anymore on these potentially politically charged AP articles.   Reading through to the end, I also see different sides to the story being portrayed which is more important to me.  I hope that the trend to be courteous keeps going and grows, too.


A quick retun to unctuousness, however.  Not out of character for long.

When it becomes  40 bellow and nearly a tourist is in sight, lets see how profitable down town remains for the merchants and other shops.  No matter how attractive you make a place you can not change the affects winter temperatures have on individuals.


I address what passes for your "thoughts" with all the ridicule they deserve, and nothing more. Said arguments were little more than tantrums at having someone challenge you or not telling you what you wanted to hear.

As for your "experience" in the middle east, am I talking to a Chris Kyle wannabe here?  Take the word of this old "grunt" Corpsman: sniping at fleeing Arab children doesn't prepare you for suddenly coming nose-to-navel with big Brownie on a narrow trail. Good luck, "hero".


The Ontario Auditor General has been clear, the Ontario Liberal's social experiment with wind and solar has been an absolute failure highlighted by waste, corruption, and incompetence - including tens of billions in legacy costs from existing contracts. Don't take my word for it, look for yourself. Wind and solar are niche technologies that are inefficient and uncompetitive compared to virtually every other power source in Canada (Hydro dams, LNG, Coal, Nuclear).
Canada's biggest impediment to value creation is self-involved "progressives" who use emotion and meaningless symbolic puffery like "social license" to effectively subvert the rule of law.
Canadians deserve each other - a vocal minority of smug professional protesters kill resource projects while simultaneously leaching off of Canada's first world services that are a function of the same industries they oppose. The Americans and Australians thank you for your support.


Yes, he will keep visiting it.

To the extent that Trudeau's celebrity just ticks off the jealous whiners among us, it's hard to see how it possibly helps Trudeau.

On the other hand, if some people abroad get a better impression of Canada because they like our prime minister, it only helps Canada. Well, at least until the foreigners realize that far too many Canadians also like to whine in jealousy.


It was easy for me to say since I live in the valley!  No democrat incumbent.  😀


I sure remember Harper the weasel writing a letter of apology to the Wall St. Journal after the Iraq war commenced where he grovelled before the US by obsequiously asserting it was shameful the Chretien government didn't participate in that war.

Bet you voted for Harper.


Save money by settling with Khadr but waste money prosecuting a 93 year old after 3 lost cases?


The Petry deal, also ridiculous.  It's almost as if Bergevin has no idea what he's doing, can't judge talent in the slightest.

Done by Xmas, by which point this team is hovering last or thereabouts.


Good points, except that there's no way Elway would hire Shanahan.  Elway and his Mike Shanahan didn't get along well.


"...just what we needed to clearly see that you can not get prosperity by taxing, regulating, borrowing and spending."

Did you even read the article?  A $1 trillion stimulus plan.  Ring any bells?  A $15 billion border fence (that we'll pay for).  A 20% tax on imports (that we'll pay for).  Tax cuts on the rich (that we'll pay for).  You squealed when Obama blew up the deficit to pull us back from the brink of complete financial collapse.  Now you're cheering while Trump and the republican congress are blowing up the deficit.  Tell me, where are your principles?  Do you have any?


Yes, absolutely.  In fact, I think he brought much of this ridiculous commentary upon himself.  But my point is that because his comments are personal attacks does not mean that effective arguments against him or his policies should take on the same tone.  I am one who listens keenly to good arguments.  If the premises are factual and can support a conclusion I will accept the conclusion.  Valid arguments whether from President Trump or from those arguing against his policies should attack the argument, never the arguer, otherwise we just wallow in hatred and loathing.  Where does that get us?


Same thing our Governor is doing,  by stealing PFD's


It's terribly selfish to expect a city not to change so non- or former residents can go back to experience the "flavor and culture" while contributing nothing but a few tourism dollars, and likely not much of that. And good god, don't say you're creating community.

"As cities across the country and the one I loved, are becoming homogenized, it is less appealing."
For you, but maybe you're in the minority here and the current residents like it that way? Who are you to tell other cities how to grow?


The questions remains
Where were the police to stand up for 'peaceful demonstration'?


The Ebb and Flow  of Football.............."We had some boys go down last night".  This is the way it is, "Next Man Up".


CNN was referred to as the "Clinton News Network" by Trump and the Republicans.
It's a Liberal news org.
Wolf Blister looked like he was going to wet his pants when the Trump numbers came in.


Romney's statement is true, and why it angered liberals so much. Just because Trump makes an observation doesn't mean it's automatically wrong. the fact remains if Team billary were a man she wouldn't be remotely in the running for President as the vast majority of her supporters are only voting for her because she is a woman, and openly admit to that. Furthermore, if team Billary had an R after her name the democrats would have crucified her long ago as they are doing to Trump in this editorial.


Speaking as a victim of false accusations, I hope Jackson wins his lawsuit against her.


You think that the Us intelligence services aren't looking for this?
No intelligence clearance = no visa.


This listing makes about as much sense as most Toronto listing but for an entirely different set of reasons.


Yet he is your next President


To all of you above, look at the numbers for driving high in OR and all the honey butane explosions in Southern Oregon that have been reported only as fires up until recently and now require L.E response to most fires to verify becuase it was so underreported. Can't make up numbers. Also we have one of the highest rates of unemployment and high school students graduating in the U.S. It's well known all the potheads move here for the legal weed and live off the welfare system. Be prepared to pay more in property taxes to support those that just want to be high all the time.
And FYI, I totally support medical weed for those that need it.


What do you do with the dysfunctional sex freaks known as priests, bishops, cardinals and nuns.


Age 2???


If think honest Canadians have to admit our government is less concerned with fairness than picking and owning an entitled group of "winners" that represent the ~40% of voters it needs to get elected.  Liberals pretty much have this with the secure vote of ~30% of the well compensated public sector employees along with whatever other identity politics are required to make up the difference.  The 60% of  newly defined "losers" in the private sector just need to continue suck it in and endure whatever slurs they decide to call us as we crassly question the taxes required to support the ever increasing "living wage" of government.


Evidence that doesn't come from Fox news please.


only if it exempted me from their taxes :)


Your point about transit is well taken. We have 3 subway lines (not 2 as you mention but still nothing to brag about). But a better comparison might be Chicago. A city of the same size. It has double the number of subway stations and subway miles.

But there are many other factors that propel Toronto to the top tier. Security (Chicago has 10x the murder rate), diversity, commerce, entertainment, education, etc.


This will be really interesting with Papahanuamokuakea as there is strong local cultural, political and native Hawaiian opposition where their interests and Trumps interests coincide.


Our British Bulldog rule was no pellet gun shots above the waist. I was a statistic a number of times a day apparently.


The Liberals started the process to get him back here but Harper put an end to that! Most of Khadr's time in Guantanamo Bay was under Harper.


He must be paying her quite a bit for her to continue with this farce. She was quite happy being far away from him, but I guess the heat is on now for her to pretend to really be in this marriage.


"I want your money!"

Um.... Well as any one who's actually read the comments quoted above will be aware, he wasn't attacking Sander's looks.  Instead he was underscoring Donald Trump's stereotypical choice of the appearances of the women around him.  Moreover, those who bothered to read to the end of the quote will note that he writes (and I quote) "...he's lucky to have her."


According to a research report by the Arab-sponsored Institute for Palestine Studies in Beirut, however, "the majority" of the Arab refugees in 1948 were not expelled, and "68%" left without seeing an Israeli soldier.7

This article is bittersweet1 Pope Francis recognizes the corruption, but apparently it is so entrenched that what he can do about it is limited.  The upshot is beware of clerics.


Here we go - the media, like elephants, never forgets.  I am sure we will hear a lot about Julie Couillard, just as the media loves to show the picture of Robert Stanfield dropping the football; and remind the public of  Joe Clark losing his luggage; and  John Turner patting a lady on the backside.  I am not voting for Bernier but he deserves better than the  stale Couillard jokes!


It will come down to whether it was illegal or not, so figure it out and let's move on.
Unfortunately, Trump has made the progressive press his enemy and they are in a war with him.
And Flynn was stupid not to realize that calls to the Russian embassy were being recorded by American intelligence. A good thing he has moved on.


Of course it does.  However, it seems to me that the same flags have been raised on each and every case in the last 40 years.  You can see it in some of the responders to NCR -- they're just out for money, they aren't really Catholic, they want to drag down the church, etc.  I'd like that consistent attack on victims to raise some flags for you, too.


The man's land was greatly devalued and vinnie's wanted to buy it.  They should have paid
him for the loss of value to his property and the cost of damages.  They seem to have become
one of Lane County's largest property owners.


Canada has a death rate from drug overdose of 2.29 deaths per hundred thousand. Singapore has a death rate from drug overdose of .18 per deaths per hundred thousand. Singapore hangs drug dealers. We give them probation. Go figure it out for yourself.

In this photo, it could be said that the pediatrician is easily identified by the stethoscope and hospital scrubs-  and the mother is easily identified as the person holding the child.
It does remind me, though, of the good practice of identifying persons by their position in the photo (e.g.,  Mercy Sr. Karen Schneider (left), a pediatrician).
Too often, I think, the person in the position of authority has been assumed to be the white person. This seems to me to be a manifestation of implicit racial bias.
Consistent identification, even when seemingly obvious, is a step toward overcoming implicit racial bias.


The same person(s) who is responsible for the murder of tens of thousands of Iraqis and Afghans and the soul murdering of thousands of clergy sex-abused children.  You look in your mirror and I'll look in mine.


You really think the company called Spectrum Oceanic Time Warner Cable is in growth/crush mode?  Hawaiian Tel's 12% growth in video is coming from someplace (hint: former Oceanic customers).

From the _Washington Post_ website: "... In a sign of tensions remaining after a bitter campaign, the White House did not arrange for the traditional photo-op between the current first couple and the incoming one ..."

Sounds to me like a bit of editorializing / interpreting tea leaves rather than straight reporting ... but the inside-the-Beltway types still gotta be reeling, so I guess we have to cut them some slack.  ;-)


Oh I so love Fall time.  Winding down for lots of summer and into a comforting time w/nature. Same to you Gary.  Hope all is well w/you and yours!


The irony, of course, is this is probably the best qualified group of judicial nominees in the history of the republic because they were pre-vetted by outside legal consulting groups.  They are conservative jurists, but by and large, they are not ideological crusaders (contrary to what some Democrat senators may try to tell us).  These are exactly the kind of persons we should want on the federal bench: intelligent, educated, and experienced, with deference to the Founder's original intent regarding the Constitution, and the intent of the U.S. Congress to federal law.  They are Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish; women and men; white, black and Asian; but above all else, they are well qualified, and have not been nominated to fill quotas of identity group politics.  The Democrat senator have no valid reason or rationale to oppose these nominees . . . except these nominees are not the usual bunch of ideologically motivated liberals who were nominated by the previous president.


Price will be traded to Calgary for a 2nd rounder and any Quebec born player like Chiasson.

Maybe we should just send Trump over to N. Korea and let them figure it out together.
This is kind of like a reality TV show...


OOPS! Stephanie, don't use my computer while I am sleeping!  No, Gaga and I are not together. This has been a battle cry for my gay friends and family long before the long or even the findings which confirmed what they already knew about themselves. That is what is so galling about the whole disordered comment by Ratzinger, that he had no respect all for their self-knowledge. I hope he repents of his sin, as there enough popes in Hell (ever seen the painting of the Last Judgment).


Not so fast. Wynne is heading up in the polls. Alberta has to reunite two parties. And I just gor back from Sask and the NDP would win in a landslide there if an election was held today.  Pretty much every conservative pundit admits that Trudeau will win the next election.


Thanks for trying to come together Bill.


If he has the nuts and wants it, I say get a project manager, do the codes, all that apply correctly; ensure - insure -  secure, and open the damned doors - the hue and cry will keep it open.


Why are you making up that NATO members must spend 2% of their GDP on defense?  Do you think that lying helps your case?

In 2014, NATO voted that members should reach the 2% number by 2024.  I'll help you with the calendar - it's 2017.  It might help if you, at long last, would stop lying.


Excellent idea, Ms. Parker, we should all try to do better.  Who knows, a random act of kindness might just change someone's direction.


He Likely Was being #MindControlled  by the #CIA  as the Agency has a Long history of using our military for their agendas. From #ManchurianCandidates to #LoneWolfKillers like this young man the CIA gets in their heads Literally to get them to believe whatever they desire then let them loose. He was a Government patsy used for another Mass Shooting to Justify Obama using another Executive Order to further restrict gun ownership Before he leaves office this month. Some questions that Beg answers is How did this man with a record of mental illness get any gun through the #TSA Screening Without being flagged  in Ak & in Mpls unless they were Told to let him through? I mean really, the TSA throws a hissy fit if you bring shampoo in Any other container other than Approved ones yet this mentally unstable Vet is Allowed to board a plane with one of his pieces of luggage carrying a weapon?? This is a Government sanctioned #PsyOp from the get go


It's 2016 so let me float a radical idea:
1. Post a list of 20, 30, or 50 roads, bridges, etc., and other examples of shoddy construction
2. List the names of the contractors responsible for each item
3. List the taxpayer funded $ cost for each contract
4. Provide the name(s), including photograph if possible, of the President/CEO of each contracting company

That should start the ball rolling.


The Morneau issue is a joke.  He followed the law, then when beyond it, then provided any gains to charity, and yet still this is not enough.  Let me guess, nothing short of bending the knee to Scheer would suffice, right?


Goat sounds like another Aryan to me.

Geez, are you all secret members of Harpo's Northern Foundation?


MichaelG>  He took the most expeditious method to clear the path for more inclusive laws and acts that are forthcoming by using the EOs.  Furthermore, are you clinically qualified to make the assessment that POTUS is "paranoid?"  If not, then I would appreciate in the future that you will cease and desist from name-calling the POTUS as being "paranoid."  You surely exaggerate the point  that he is headed toward a total dictatorship, don't you?  Well, when that time ever comes about, I'm sure you will be there to denounce him, right?  I don't think so because if you denounce a dictator your life expectancy will be abruptly terminated.  Why worry so much for????


It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest at this point.


This sort of armed crime is happening all too frequently for a town of 300,000. Not sure what the solution is, but I suspect there is an sector of the population who knows who these criminals are and by their silence are adding and abetting. The ADN reporting falls short with a cursory description of these criminals. For instance, were the robbers tall or short, heavy or thin, what was their ethnicity and other descriptors. No matter how they were dressed these questions need answers.


Different governments. Pride is funded locally, as a subsidy for a tourist event that brings in money to the municipality. Veterans' graves are a responsibility of the federal government, and especially in scattered locations outside Ottawa, not a revenue generator.


Okay you don't want to own Morning Joe and his bimbo even though they clearly espouse your views  on President Trump.
Where do you stand on the sexual practices of people like JFK, Bill Clinton, Algore, John Edwards or LBJ?
My point was simply that sexual morality does not have an ideological bias. Can you even agree to something so obvious as that?


It means they're designed at car scale and not human scale.  They're currently designed to get cars through as quickly as possible, this puts pedestrians, bikers, and drivers/passengers in danger and makes the street less pleasant to walk along, live on, and work on.
