The American way...spend money as if it is not your own. Local proof right here, in your face, in your backyard, with an open blank checkbook.

1. Deputy Power Systems Manager Shailesh Shere said "the maintenance cost over 25 years is [an] unpredictable factor.”

-This is one of the top 2 priorities before making any large purchase...investigate AND KNOW the potential maintenance costs!!

2. City Councilwoman Sissi Bruch said “I did not realize they would produce so little energy. I wouldn’t have voted for it knowing it was that little.

-Obviously no research was performed. She might as well have said "Duh" while drool runs out of her mouth and down her chin.

3. Mayor Patrick Downie said “Maybe we’ll discover that if we had another three somewhere else down there on the waterfront, we could begin to generate something, and it might become more meaningful.

-What Downie really says here is maybe we can throw more money towards this in the hopes that one day we might turn a profit.


Trump landslide


Far worse?  Nonsense....

Do you know about 527s?

Much of the Koch brothers contributions goes into lobbying efforts.  I don't think anyone will dispute that; and the trail is well known according to law.  Soros?  Not so much.  527s are less traceable and do not conform to "lobbying" laws.

So.  Which activity is "far worse"?  The open, traceable contributions?  or the shady ones?


There has been plenty indigenous consultation with many FN's on board. Consultation doesn't mean veto.


Well, it WAS a Chevy....just sayin'


Fake news in America has a birthday the Pope and Hillary Clinton should know .  August 8, 2014 is when the big lie "Hands Up Don't Shoot" started about a 282 ib 6' 5"  Black thug Brown who has just committed a felony and was reported by the media as shot in the back unarmed by a white police officer by ABC, CNN, CBS, NBC, NYT etc etc.... Well the truth is that several Black witnesses told a grand jury under oath said Brown had charged and assaulted the police officer and tried to take the officer's gun, and was shot in self defense. Then Black Lives Matter by Al Sharpton was formed based on this lie and marched chanting "Fry 'em like bacon. Put the pigs in a blanket. What do we want now? Dead cops!" While the Black racists got there way. To date this year 25 police officers have been killed by Black thugs and half of them saythey were inspired by Black Lives Matter to assassinate police officers. Listen to Denzil Washington not Hillary Clinton or Comrade Pope,


What is challenging for anyone with some historical and theological background is the Filioque clause in the creed and how that led to the great schism with the Orthodox church which in turn led to the Reformation.—Robert Helfman

The Filioque clause is about the same Blessed Trinity that Richard Rohr finds interesting in communal interactions.  The difference is between the Persons of the Trinity among themselves and between themselves and humanity.  Using that to connect the Orthodox with Protestants escapes me.  Protestants were not  Arians.

So, the problem is reformulating an accepted conception of God as judgmental with a new less-judgmental conception of God.  How that challenges Jansenism is no problem, but challenging Arianism escapes me.


I learned this when I want to my local lab to get a blood draw.
Looks like the new subcontractor will not pay benefits, saving PeaceHealth money. If we had socialized health care, the number of available staff would be kept at a minimum, so the actual number of people who work in the industry would likely be low. But the workers would not be faced with losing healthcare. Yet, my understanding is that new proposed law will allow for affordable, quality healthcare that we get to choose. Waiting for that. Skeptical.
As long as our healthcare system is a capitalist one, the companies will try to do less for more. And the people will want more for less. Will the two meet at an affordable price-point? Have they so far? I paid 15% of my income on insurance last year.  As a percent of GDP it's 17. So I am pretty close which makes sense. Check out this chart: http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.XPD.TOTL.ZS


Imagine the day when idiot Chinese can walk into an apothecary and buy a micro size tub of rhino horn, legal and straight. That is the day when there is no longer a black market for the stuff. As long and there is a black market the animal is doomed to extinction. Other breeders should do the same as Mr Hume and to hell with stupid conservationists who don't think things through


But they'll tell you how many crimes were prevented because a gun existed!

Again, in case you're further allowed to keep flagging critical replies:
No he isn't. You're way too early, much more to come. Nixon fans celebrated too, before the inevitable end...


The Liberals are intent on making Canada a less competitive place to do business.  No wonder Trump liked JT.


Bigots gonna hate


Are you OK, man?  Sounds like you are running a little amok.  Best wishes.


"My child happens to be male."
Congratulations!  He's hit the jackpot. The cards are very much still stacked in his favour just because he is male and, I presume, white - double jackpot!!
There is no evidence of sexism against males.  That you believe there is simply because more women are being selected for important jobs, is your problem.  Why on earth would you presume that just because there are more women, that 1. they must surely be unqualified and 2. some more deserving male must surely have been passed over because of sexism?

Wake up!


Mr Zuma clearly, has the Zimbabwean history foremost in his mind, as a back up plan....with the SAPS torture (Special Assignment) on the rise, MK members intimidating the Deputy of the SACP (SABC Newshour this am) and state institutional capture, at his beck and call. Recall his last appearance at Parliament...so sure....untouchable.  Brings to mind a conversation I overheard in Durban about 15 years ago...an ex-Rhodesian discussing the situation with his SA brother .."We also thought it would never happen...".
And every day that goes by, without the distracted opposition forming a strong and clear alignment with all the civil society movements together, under one umbrella...uniting the masses with relevant information and a clear constitutional direction....we will be moving to our next "total onslaught and strategy" as a means to retain power and wipe out  "disloyal factions" ..black and white.

We need to stand up now and not sit down until we have our Rainbow Nation back again!


With some construction experience, we were once a company that had it's largest contract just over million dollars and was successful for a large multimillion dollar project which was completed on time and within budget.  The project, the Hyatt Regency Waikoloa in Kona, now the Hilton Waikoloa.  In construction, planning, financial support and organization can get a large project done on time and budget.  Took a look at Whitefish Energy and they have solid financial support, and they have completed some 30 days of work in Puerto Rico, ahead of schedule and within the budget.  If they complete work on a daily basis beyond expectations by the Contracting Agency, great for Puerto Rico and its citizens.  Imua.

Ageism and racism are no more attractive than any other form of bigotry.


Religious instruction in our parishes is not restricted in any manner by the teachers gender. More women than men hold these positions.
As a Dominican, I and the Sisters of many communities were the first instructors of the Faith. The majority of our US priests and bishops as well as laity were taught religion by women in our schools. Today lay women, men as well as religious hold those positions in our parishes.
Since we as women were baptized, we too put on Christ and are equal as receivers of the Faith we profess, and pass it on to others. Paul mentions that Timothy was the faithful Christian he grew to be because of his mother Eunice and grandmother Lois who taught him the Faith.
Paul sounds like a reliable source who gives testimony for the charism that women have for theological instruction.


agree but Trump is an impulsive, ignorant man with a deep hatred for the constitution.  We have not had a major crisis yet but when we do I fear for America.


More importantly, the HuffPo editors had no idea it was not 100% serious and published it as such. So it's irrelevant that it was a Poe.


I smell impeachment. What a load of traitors!


No politics is not the problem here, perception is. You seem eager to ignore that elephant in the room.


"Hawaii’s plan to study a system in which all citizens might receive an unconditional sum of money from the government."
.
Completely agree, that we need an economy where people can survive financially.
However, The government has no source money, other than taxes.  If the government starts handing out all of this "free money", exactly who is paying for it?
We still are.
So, the government takes all of this money off of the people in the form of taxes, then wants to study a way to give it back to them and call it a benefit?
How about stop taking all of our money and wasting it?
How about the organizations that suck the very financial life out of people stop bombarding us with abusive fees?  Banks come to mind. Bounce a $2 payment and the fee is $35. Yet the bank is offering a APR (Annual Percentage Rate) on their bank account of a disgusting and profoundly insulting 0.85 % interest. We should be teaching ways for people to keep more of their money instead of having it taken from them.


"Don't forget the main factor discrediting the Trump presidency: the truth."
The "truth" that never seems to be proved or the dots connected - a tidbit here, a tidbit there. - and let leftie speculation run amok. Perhaps you should be more concerned about your PM awarding $10M to a terrorist than speculating on the politics of a country not your own?


This is the exact same op-ed piece that he has run run about every four months since he left office.

Talk about a cry for help


Thankfully this Google memo and resulting over-reaction will mark beginning of the end of excesses third-wave feminism inflicted on us. We have flat earth climate change denialists, we now have biological sex differences feminist denialists.


Sure, mill stone and lapdog.


No, it was not done with "good intentions", whatever that means.  It was done to make the point that I perceive you can be ugly, contentious, rude, snide, and pretentious - that you do not invite a reply but you invite some sort of retaliation.  I am very willing to explore ideas, but I do not want to enter into a contentious debate - and that seems to be your style. More, since you erased the original comment, I no longer remember what points your were making, but they obviously did not make a point with me.

Why carry this on?  Your style of debate and retort is not my style of discussion.  Is this a contest to see who can get the last word?  Again, why jab at me when you know I don't like it and will only jab back?  Of course, you can respond but it just points out that you like playing sado masochistic games, wasting space on this discussion board.


Strahm go along to get along guys like you are the problem. You could care less about people in pain.


Little Omie is in line for the Order or Canada as a national hero for being an exemplary model of Canadian values worldwide.


Kellyanne & Trump are part of the problem. The lies, the daily, disgusting, embarrassing lies!
And the hateful rhetoric from donald trump, stupid/hateful rhetoric intended to incite hostilities from the campaign, the 5 trump admin members who lied to congress plus their conflicts of interest and their deceptive and misleading statements.
The GOP will bite a democrat and won't let go until everything falls out of their pockets and when nothing is found they continue to push their narrative that this person is bad.... but when there is questions of buying stock right before voting on a bill effecting that stock (Jeff Sessions), a matter of ethics- business, personal and political, taxes, truthfulness in required documents, conflicts of interest, a blind trust, nepotism- the list is still growing-- Republicans will ignore, dismiss, minimize, obstruct, mislead and lie. Apparently ethics, rules and laws don't apply to GOP politicians, only Democrats.  What a compliment!


"The truth is it doesn't matter"

Let that settle in for a bit.  And there are millions who feel just like this guy.


I don't know this guy, but I haven't seen any evidence of it. Just watched a few of his video posts and mostly he's just videoing and then people in attendance try to eject him. It could be they recognize him for his anti-liberal videos.

Peter Pan did not  have a presents in Valdez in 1969, they do now but not in 1969.  Your friend may have fired Hillary which I doubt but he wasn't working for Peter Pan.


So then, Obama must have been "cruel" for waiting 4 1/2 years into his reign before he implemented DACA, right?


Well sad, Elise. It's mind-blowing that the public not only puts up with this sleaze, but defends it and ultimately votes to keep the legislators who consistently vote for their own interests, not those of their constituencies.  Alaskans should be ashamed of themselves for not only allowing, but  encouraging this corruption to continue.


I could have grown a plant by the time it took to scan this sale.  Good luck with that business model technology.


It is great to see that after the collapse of tobacco industry, our government has found another scam to make money.

"The fires of Hell" are mentioned in almost all--if not all--Fatima devotions. And a very angry, very pain-oriented, very punitive, very male, very capital punishment-driven God comes through when you listen to the Blue Army and others. I don't want to be sacrilegious, and I hope I'm not, but I have found it uncanny the research-documented-as-consistent one-liners from spousal, date, and child abusers seem to be transferred to God in the Fatima story:

"I've been patient but forgiveness has its limits."
"You don't love me enough."
"You can't say I didn't warn you."
"Payback's a bitch."
"You knew the rules, and now you'll pay with pain."
"You damn deserve what I'm going to do to you."
"This'll teach the others a lesson."
"It's too late to say 'I'm sorry' now. You had your chance."
"Fear is all you seem to understand."
"I'm hurting you because I love you."
"You don't know your place."
"I'll show you who's boss."
"Why can't you be as good as ____"
"You can just GO TO HELL!"


Isn't it bigotry when government focuses on the needs of one identifiable group at the expense of all others?

I believe it's called the 'soft bigotry of low expectations'.


Thankfully, the military has decided not to do anything about this until the White House gives them further instruction.  Since Trump tweeted only to distract from his mounting problems, he'll move on to something else and the military can get on with real issues.


It is possible. It is a question about priorities. Iceland just made a decision to prioritize this over a busy lifestyle......


The Permanent Fund was not established to pay out PFDs.
That was something the legislature created by statute later.


Trump's executive order would have prevented a grandmother and her grandchildren from meeting for the first time.   The Aloha State was successful in challenging the order to allow it to happen.  Kudos to AG Chin for supporting families.


active: " deleted comments"

I agree with RETIRED.
Too many deletes from one poster.


Paul, you may have a point. And I don't believe all Republican ideas are bad, or all Democrat ideas good: some go too far in one direction.  Certainly ACA needs work.  But the Republicans have for years been opposed to compromise and working with the Democrats to produce a better plan.  For decades before ACA, they promised the country a national plan to make insurance more attainable, but couldn't bring themselves to displease their backers.  They were opposed to 'single-payer' then, and it's hard to believe they would really work for it now.  I remember G.W. Bush and his 'thousand points of light'- those faith-based entities who would provide charity after he successfully privatized SS and Medicare as he wanted to do.  Possibly the Republicans don't want to make life worse for the poor, only want to make sure they are grateful for all the charity.


If this Asian women was in the middle of the Kakaako homeless encampment and started arguing with the other homeless about sitting in a chair on the sidewalk, you might have a point but not on a United Airlines airplane after paying tickets for both herself and her child.  If at some point the flight attendant calls security guards on this women and they threaten to drag her down the aisle of the plane, then yes, back down and leave but NOT just because some attendant tells you have to give up your child's seat, even though she already paid for it.   Too late for legal action at this point as she voluntarily gave up the seat already.    Maybe Grace Park who left Hawaii 5-0 on principal alone can help this woman gain some basic self-confidence?  Also not sure if the message she wants to give her child is that a physically diminitive Asian women can be easily intimidated in a business situation to give up what is rightfully hers and her child.


Then this is NOT a show for you, it would seem.


One can only assume that Melanie Joly believes Netflix is equivalent to essential Food and Shelter by the way its treated.  Too bad a free employee hamburger at MacDonald's is a taxable benefit.


"“The proposal to restrict the rights of certain classes of citizens had a side effect of stigmatization"

This is where Mr. Taylor got it wrong.  There is no right of an employee to implement their own dress code at their place of employment.


Harper failed to get a seat, so here comes Trudeau bound and determined to play statesman by joining a club that has dubious benefits for Canada. Waste of time and more importantly a big waste of money.


Facts, eh? How is the Islamic terrorism home grown? Has it grown out of the British colonial tradition? Maybe the Loyalists dragged it from Philadelphia? Was it present at the Plains of Abraham? Did it evolve from the Protestant work ethic? Did the Ukrainian farmers brought it over to the Prairies? Perhaps it is a part of the rich cultural mosaic of our Indigenous peoples? Yeah, let's have the facts. Of course those cannot be spoken openly, let alone published.


We are all one people/one country and should rest after we die in ONE CEMENTERY! Are we building ONE COUNTRY together, or just breaking it apart.


To be clear, I do not support electoral reform. The FPTP system has served Canada exceedingly well for over 100 years.  However, for this imbecile PM to declare that since he and his beloved Liberals are in power there is no longer any need to explore electoral reform is pure unbridled arrogance and stupidity.


In my opinion, Canada goes too easy on 'white collar' crime. Rob a corner store and face serious consequences. But defraud pensioners of millions and the commercial crime section treats you with kid gloves. China's not like that, particularly when you steal from the state. They see that as the equivalent of denying babies their food, medicine for sick people, and clothing for the poor. Which in effect it is. China has been known to execute the perpetrators of such crimes.

Being Canadian doesn't absolve you of criminal wrongdoing in some other country. I hope the accused in this case don't receive China's harshest penalties. But if found guilty, they're unlikely to get the country club treatment they'd get in Canada. I'm OK with that.


In this article Tom Yamachika questions his own $200 number that he came up with a couple of years ago.


[What is the true motivation of Sheriff Brown and his friends, convincing State Rep. Norma Smith (R-Clinton) to pull Ryan’s House funding?]

Yeah, don't take the Sheriff and his friends at their word, eh? After all, the Sheriff is a Republican: there must be some other child-hating-based nefarious reason, eh?

[involvement in the juvenile justice system...delinquent behavior....]

From what I hear, these kids are pretty darn good at camping out in tents, especially within walking distance of places from which they can shoplift.


This is a sickening witch hunt.

If you want to see the best expose on Fake News, watch Season 5 of the HBO Drama "The Wire."  And then compare to our so-called real news.  There ain't any difference.


Hey, accidents happen.


Steven Aufrecht - Is California (or, particularly, the people of California) representative of people in Alaska or the Midwest?

I daresay we don't share a lot of values in common. So, why should Californians be allowed to choose our government over the wishes of people in Alaska and the Midwest? Do you also want them to choose more intimate details of your life ... the clothes you wear, the car you drive (or if you're permitted to drive at all)? Do you want them to determine what temperature you set your thermostat at and what breed of dog you're allowed to own? Or, how about whether you live in a house on a decent sized lot or in an apartment block where you can hear your neighbors talking?

I ask these questions because all those things are regulated in California and when you hand over the decision making of the government's head to Californians you are tacitly giving consent for a leader representative of Californians to regulate those intimate details of your life and mine.


The fact of the matter remains that we see daily mainstream media subtle assertions that Trump has 'ties' to Russia, despite the fact not a single shred of evidence has emerged.  Real critical thinkers, after reading the headlines here, read deeper and find there is no substance.  It is right to question the facts here Toast and you don't need to be partisan to do it.

Regardless of your feelings on Trump, your paragraph "while we have seen no proof..." is laughable - are you saying because we haven't seen proff yet we should just believe it's true until we do?  What kind of sane reasoning is that?  Calls into question the depth of your critical thinking on the other aspects of this subject.


There is no comparison between general public opinion that reveals skepticism toward a religious minority, and a planned and coordinated attack to commit mass murder.  None whatsoever.


No we won't. He's just another big government socialist who thinks the government knows what's best for everybody; freedom be dammed. I resent Obama. I do not want to be made a ward of government. I do not want the government making health insurance decisions for me and I want all of my Social Security money back. Every single penny. I resent government control over my life. Did you know that a few years ago the federal government was going to tell everybody what kind of light bulbs they could use? Really? Really?


We waited 25 years and this is the best DEN could do?

 Did Alibaba have a excess inventory sale on harsh colored LEDs and Denver bought the entire lot?

It reminds me of gaudy sign at a remote city in central China that’s trying too hard to get noticed - look at us we are modern - we even have the super cool bright LED things like Shanghai did in the 90s!!!

Fail


Another disgusting decision by a completely unqualified Trump appointee. When will this madness end?


It is worrisome to me that someone can be so unencumbered by facts and still hold so strident a view-point.


actually it doesn't say it will kill you, but it should. and you are aware that it took an act of Congress to get this label on a pack of smokes? it wouldn't be there otherwise. and you are aware that tobacco companies continue to deny the link between cigarettes and lung cancer and the hazards of second hand smoke despite their own evidence to the contrary? so i dunno, does that sound like "concealment" to you?


re "on the brink again"

Too true.
Our leaders have gone mad.

Gordhan and Ramaphosa will plunder by hook or by crook. Amazed at how they are doing it so openly.


Purchase suffered an ankle injury in the first half on Saturday against Long Beach, sat out the rest of that game and was a game-time decision as to whether he would play yesterday. Then, a few minutes into yesterday's game he appeared to aggravate the injury while jumping for an errant pass and was soon subbed out. Later, he aggravated it again and it was obvious he couldn't put much weight on it.

I just noticed that (as I said earlier) non of my posts has been scrubbed, double dollar sign notwithstanding. In fact it's right above in plain sight. I didn't insult you, I only used a vulgar expression meaning you're in over your head, in this case using a red herring (Clinton's server problem, which wasn't a crime) to distract from Trump's obviously serious troubles with conflicts of interest, to put it mildly. Anyway, your loud braying hasn't put me out of step, let alone sucking swamp water up my nether end. Have a pleasant evening!

Well in honesty who really wants to live in Manitoba anyways?  Especially in winter. Its the armpit of Canada as they say.
Pallister is at the age where he should be thinking of retiring and slowing it down rather than trying to have it both ways.


No.  Remove him now as a recipient of the rigged election orchestrated by his billionaire b**tards in key states with Republican Governors and Legislatures.  Traitorous acts begun decades ago by the Republican traitors infecting the nation.  His refusal to end his business empire to be President violates the 1st amendment.  You Strict Constructionists know it, but could care less about traitorous acts by one of your own.   The Mein Kampf reading of Trump is admitted and documented by himself.  Your Hillary claims are just more fascist nonsense.


Um, no. That is NOT the point for most people who have concerns with mass immigration, you are not representative and give the rest a bad name.


Is the author suggesting that Canadians should believe Trudeau if he blames Harper for the need to raise taxes?

Trudeau would be wise not to raise taxes, given a 30% CPC base could be augmented by swing voters who supported Trudeau in 2015 but are getting fed up with large discretionary deficits and tax risk.


Very astute. I never would have guessed that John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald -  not to mention the professional assassins in every other culture on earth -  were Shia Muslims. Hey, I bet there were even a couple of Campbells who worked as assassins during the couple of thousand years of Scots warfare.


Canada 150 Projects = Adscam II.  Publish a list of all recipients of taxpayer funds. The Canadian taxpayer should know to the last penny where and to whom the funds are going. Providing the name of an organization is not enough, we want to know who runs the organization, when was it formed and how does it serve the public.


Oftentimes on each side of the  equation there is a claim of 'cherry picking' or an accusation of 'cafeteria Catholics', yet this stuff continues unchallenged and  unabated.  In the case of the Immaculate Conception an omniscient God would know from all eternity Mary's response, there would be no surprise.  We might also do the same with the communion of saints and intercession.  Would a God that is omniscient require an intercession to what It already knows.  The claim is also that God is immutable.  When we pray, make our requests, pray for the dead are we not forgetting the attributes we humans have already placed on a Godhead;  Omniscience, Omnibenevolence, Omnipotence, Immutable, Absolute.


Oh yuck.


I think we should send APD to patrol the Matsu and send the Troopers into Eastside - Muldoon


You all obviously missed the entire play on how he ascended to the WAM throne by using Senator Kaiali'i Kahele to do their dirty work. So much for investigative reporting.


Call it what it was....... A MONSTER!!!!!!


Nah, the meeting will be described as a good  beginning for both leaders,  at the end, when they both  shake hands , Donald will grab Justin gentle hand, press it manly,  with a smile and a pat on Trudeaus behind, Trump will  whisper in  his ear- don't worry, I'll take care of things-
Canada will be ok.


Actually, your Blew Jays failed to sign him to a contract by the deadline because they would not meet his signing-bonus demands.

Still lotsa money for their past-his-prime catcher though.

Boo, Blew Jays.


Use the money for keeping Ag land in agriculture and pasturing livestock in the moku of Ko'olauloa first. A few trees or a bike path in the city is a drop in the bucket...we must prevent  rural Malaekahana's Gunstock Ranch from becoming a new city.  That would be urban sprawl at the furthest point from the primary urban center...the cost of which is enormous to the environment, to the value of its beauty to the visitor and TV/Movie industries,  causing more emergency services  problems on the single access road - two lane Kamehameha Highway- for 35+ miles that is already overwhelmed by traffic and high wave erosion...
     I wish the money could buy Kualoa Ranch too, (and  possibly building LAGOONS along the shoreline  thru Ka'a'awa),  so it is preserved as the other major open space on the windward side of  Oahu. Lots of Honolulu people come to Kualoa Park as it is. This area and the North Shore hold  major benefits for recreation for townies; and residents OUR need bike paths badly.


The lack of understanding shown in this comment section in regards to how polling is conducted, its validity and limitations is striking.


Wow! You really went to a lot of effort to do nothing more than point out a grammatical error in a compete stranger's heartfelt post. Are you that much of an ass*ole in person or only from the safety of your living room?


A good sign when a government can adjust to difficult times and act in Canada's best interests.


Recent polls released after President Trump's Charlottesville remarks found Trump's job approval at 40% support, down only slightly from the 44% he had when elected. Mr. Trump is now viewed favourably by 45% of the populace, up from the 42% he had when he was elected.


The issue with the homeless being allowed to do this is that the vast majority of them don't tend to respect anything. They throw their garbage wherever they feel like it and don't really follow these "laws" of where it's alright to set up a tent. Just check out east Hawthorne bridge with over 20 tents, nightly campfires, and beer drinking bike chopping parties.

Was walking the ramp from EB Esplanade over the Steel Bridge around 7pm. A couple of homeless people had set up a large shelter (plywood, tarps, etc.) blocking the sidewalk and had garbage all around. They also had a poorly managed pit bull off-leash, that ran up at my wife and I as we got close to their shelter, wouldn't get away from us, actually moving us off the sidewalk into oncoming traffic, continued following us far away from their shelter. The homeless were outside, watching, said nothing of their dogs behavior and seemed to be perfectly fine with it.

You can be homeless. Don't be trashy, dis-respectful homeless


All things considered Hawaii played as good as can be expected. At least they moved the ball,  not like in years past with the run and punt offense they mixed it up pretty good.


Typical bureaucratic behavior; deny all wrongdoing, pay off the victims, promote the managers who screwed up, and hire a few more PR officers to put a positive spin on it.


@Jimmy_K2 - sure but if the FIL goes after the estate while the son sits back and watches, what exactly is the son doing?  The son is making the FIL spend money on a lawyer to get something he feels is rightfully his.  Whether he wins or loses, the son looks like he wanted to keep the money.  The son has 2 choices:  Give the proceeds to his Dad or say sue to get it.  It doesn't matter who gets sued here.


Your "fun" daydream is single payer healthcare, socialism, and higher taxes? Please explain the benefits of any of those as you see them.


Monsanto and Pioneer Seed(one in the same) have gobbled up most Ag land on all islands. They spray their poisons year around because of the climate and trade winds carry those poisons to us all. How are we going to get them out? Only loss of money from crops and tourism will do it!


Please, $16 billion to $17 billion, not $8 billion.


Excellent piece. Some folks need to revisit civics class. Socialism, Communism, and Democratic Socialism are vastly different creatures.

Then the there's the "free stuff" narrative. Are we talking about the free stuff we give oil companies, banks "too big to fail," or the "free stuff" you get like heavily subsidized roads, airports, fuel, a public education system, law enforcement, emergency services, etc?

A little reality. Society benefits from economy of scale when we pool resources to provide for the common good. Things one can't economically provide for oneself. We all directly or indirectly benefit from things like a well-educated, economically mobile, healthy populace.

Ayn Rand's selfish objectivism & laissez faire capitalism (granted, a redundant phrase) eventually leads to anarchy & the breakdown of society, in part, because it ignores and discounts the forces driving a tragedy of the commons (William Forster Lloyd). This is illustrated by the current situation in AK.


The vast majority (upwards of 70%) of those employed in Canada's Public Service are women.  Ditto for elementary and secondary school teachers.

Where is the 3000 word newspaper article advocating that this is a problem that needs to be address?


Yes, during the campaign he said of health care " it will be SO easy"....then as the "so called " President, he said "no body knew health care was so complicated".....really? no body knew that???? AND, now, with the failure of support from his OWN party to pass a health care bill.....he says it will be very quick.  AND, now I see some reports that say he was just joking, I saw him say that..he wasn't joking, he was doing his usual....LYING.


"Fascists are leftists. Read and learn history."

What's that old Mencken quote? Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of Palin-Americans. Or something like that.

Ugh... Jonah Goldberg should be ashamed of himself. He's not, of course, but he should be.


I disagree.  OHA trustees are elected by ALL registered voters, regardless of ethnicity, in the State of Hawai'i.  A mere glimpse into self-governance would be to allow only Native Hawaiians to vote for OHA trustees themselves.


China yanked on Trump's chain and brought him to heel.  Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.


The bridge had just been resurfaced in Autumn 2013 during a prolonged trail repair closure. If the problem was so apparent, why was the bridge left in place? I'm sure the bridge was decayed, but would not characterize failure under a 7-ton load as "sudden collapse."

I should add that the decay was likely increased by the "repaired" replacement surface, which is a synthetic material with gaps below.  Unlike the original plank surface, this design collects water inside the bridge to the point you can actually hear sloshing as you cross the boards. This is the current situation at Fish Creek Bridge (which now has "load" warnings).


Modern terrorism was started in India/Pakistan in 1947 when centuries old hatreds between Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs caused mass murder, ethnic cleansing and genocide between Muslims traveling through Hindu lands to reach West Pakistan.


Keeping in mind underwrought, registered lobbyists from the Aga Kahn Foundation were holding meetings with high level government officials just before Christmas.

So the questions are, what were they talking about and is future money going to flow?


"Pedestrian fences require more staff and would cost $11.2 million per mile versus $4.1 million per mile to build to build, according to the report."

Seriously? I'd like a detailed breakdown on why it would be that expensive.


Rick D.

Is this a threat of some sort?   I have been  threatened with bodily harm before from activists in PA.  I request the moderators report this to the police along with the real name an address of "Rick D."

Steven D. Slott, DDS


So.....what do we learn from this 112 million dollar accident and what can we do better for next time said Captain Obvious?

Bigger parachutes? Stronger brakes? Kill more birds?.....or all of the above?


Which do we need first, Steve? One group is essential, the other would be nice to have. I feel our prioriy should be to make downtown functional first.

The city used to have table games in the downtown mall; drug dealers used them to break their bags up for sale in small quantities.


You're thinking of Barney Frank...


I'm sure that "Alternative Facts" will emerge soon............. Bunch of self-centered BUFOONS following an uneducated puffed cheeto-head will just as soon set the world on fire.


I probably shouldn't have said "the real culprit", that was too strong. This was a group effort. But certainly Myers was majorly at fault for putting  Gugliotta in a youth ministry.


You're admitting the existence of white privilege, you know.  Black privilege has NEVER existed in the US.   However their have been any number of white minority nations and states with white supremacist institutions and systems: South Africa, Rhodesia, Mississippi, South Carolina . . .

When activists talk about systemic racism this is what they mean: no matter the skin color of the population, or even of the people who work for the system, that system still perpetuates racism.


No surprise here. As long as a group of people is taught to feel different and victimized (and, to make it worse, praised and given money for it), this is what will happen. This, and worse.


Basically this is a campaign speech and nothing more, pay attention folks all he says it this won't hurt us. Meanwhile he never dies this bill is abysmal and WORSE than the ACA. Small buiness is another right wing term that is used to deceive people. These Multi Billion dollar Native Corporations are considered small businesses, so spare me. Problem is he's right, Alaskans like abused puppies will still vote for Don Young although I don't know why. Ed, also knows one thing, that rarely comes up, the Rove plan worked, the took over state houses and gerrymandered virtually every one of them. So these districts are red. Why do you think they passed this horrible bill because they know no one will hold them accountable. If the DNC was not so terribly run they may pose a threat, but they have an identity crisis right now and their plan is more of the same as evidenced by having Tom Perez as the new Chair.  When people even staunch GOP voter get tired of being screwed things will change.


As a public service announcement I would like to say the White Nationalists or Breitbart or whoever you want to call them are spoiling for a fight on November 4.  They have a news story out that Antifa forces are planning a civil war.  Stay vigilant and report suspicious activity to police, a lot of scary people believe fake racist news from Breitbart.

Putin has assassinated and inprisoned political rivals. He has annexed and ordered Russian military occupation of the Ukraine which is an independent sovereign nation. He has used his position as a means to amass approximately 200 billion dollars of personal assets. He has imprisoned excecutives of private company's seized private assets. BS! Open your eyes and stop listening to partisan crap.  If that is you're vision of leadership then welcome to fascism authoritarian style.


The effort to pass discriminatory laws in the name of religious freedom and free speech is an effort by the far right to cram their version of religion down everyone else's throat.  No freedom there!


Chucky
Speaking of cowardice, what is your name? Using insults means you did not have a valid argument other wise you would have used it.


More sad knee jerk 'conservative' reactions. "Poor Saint Doug", a real victim (this refrain sounds very similar to another politician/developer).  Is not paying taxes stealing from all of us? Letting your property go to hell, creating opportunities for crime...is that not stealing from all of us. Shame on all of you supporting money grabbing developers who only think of themselves and use the courts to delay justice, playing word games to distract from the real abuse. Don't blame 'liberal' (really?) judges who are PROTECTING the constitution and the rest of us from the real abusers and forcing Bruce to justice. Always the victim!  Always blaming the courts for keeping you honest!


A.D.N please do a report on how many legislators have become lobbyists in the last 30 years??


Easy to toss the "genocide" grenade at one group. Wonder how the Hurons would describe what happened to them?


Jays are finally beginning to play the way they are supposed to play.  Great pitching, good hitting, better defensive play.  And what can be said about Gibbons other than good, managing a team inflicted with injury.  I have followed the Jays since they became a franchise and I do not recall a team whose front line up has been so decimated by injury.  There are no excuses.  All teams battle injury, and the Jays keep battling. The Jays may just heave themselves out of last place, and .500 in the near future.  4 1/2 months to get back in the game.  The farm system has proven to be talented.  The relief relieving and taking the offensive.  The injured taking the time to heal without pressure.


Part 1  The situation for the Lutheran Church is very different than in Catholicism and probably different than in the Presbyterian church as well.    The Augsburg Confession, the primary document of Lutheran doctrine and teaching from the reformation period,  has a very simple statement on the role of the minister:  Article XIV says simply:  "It is taught among us that nobody should publicly teach or preach or administer the sacraments in the church without a regular Call."

The picture of the role of clergy as it has evolved in the Lutheran Churches (esp. ELCA, which I am a Pastor of) is that there is a dynamic among the concept of the priesthood of all believers, which grants every believer priesthood, and the public role exercising this vocation.  The modern church does require ordination by qualified candidates who have prepared, usually through seminary, although we do have a non traditional route, too (BTW:  I recommend the book Pastrix) by a woman pastor ordained this way.


Equating disallowing teaching that gay people will burn for all eternity in a lake of fire, in a publicly funded school, to thought police, is truly ridiculous.

This is just good government and it's about time.


This problem was caused by Republicans who believe that they alone should be allowed to vote and decide who represents the Republican Party in the general election.

There are two ballots.  One has only Republican candidates' names.  Only registered Republicans, Non-Partisans, and Undeclared can choose that ballot.  The other has only Democrats, Libertarians, and Independence Party candidates.  Anyone can choose this ballot.

So if someone wanted to vote for Nageak or Westlake and Lisa Murkowski, they could not, unless they lived in Shugnak.

Can you cite to any evidence of guns in the classroom harming the educational experience on the dozens of campuses in multiple states which have allowed them for years? Any notable, much less significant, problem with accidental discharges on those campuses, injurious or not? Any statements by their campus police of particular problems? If not, on what rational basis do you oppose the UA bill? Do you believe Alaska will be uniquely problematic? That our students and staff will be irresponsible where others have not? That's actually pretty insulting to Alaskans. Maybe think rationally, not emotionally. Join the evidence-based community.


OK, I'll bite.  What's the 149 year-old common law the Liberals sacrificed?


Lobbyists have every right to petition their representatives as any one.  They represent the interests of constituents from all walks of Alaskan life.


This seams draconian. 96 years for robbery?  Murders and rapists get less.


Why import them when we can just "make" them?


Quite the eloquent post indeed.

So the bottom line is ?


IRT "Rail transit project misguided from start"
Shame on you.  You're much too unreasonable in your specious argument.  Since when didn't lawmakers consult experienced unionized contractors as much as they did the unions?   Since when are 3 large buses prettier than sleek rail cars, and safer for the mayor's bikers than Rail?   Get elevator for wheelchairs to the train but no get elevator onto the bus.  Voters had been asked if they wanted Rail.  Our representatives resoundingly said "of course we do!  We just want to point fingers at each other along the way."   And, as for Rail here, since when did money assurance have anything real to do with all-hands-on-deck?  Dontcha know?  Public projects are all-hands-on-deck.


I hope the FBI and US Attorney are looking into this matter.  It sure seems like bribery and fraud.  These people should be charged with crimes.  This all federal taxpayers' money!!!  It is not right that there is no transparency with these non profit entities. Everything is kept confidential so the public has no way to know what is going on.


I think you are a sociopath if you shoot a moose with an elk tag, but if you shoot an elk with an elk tag you are a psychopath.


This used to be true, but must have gone away with the election of President Obama.  I was appalled at the number of threats against him.


can you call a bunch of people alt-right bias confirmers tomorrow night? Your last reply really helped me get to sleep, I think it must be the repeated use of theszzzzzzzzzzz  zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz  zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz  zzzzzzzzzz


I agree with everything you say here, but you are drifting away from the points we were discussing previously, about the natural unity (in one and the same flesh) and the unitive complementarity (interpersonal communion) of man and woman.  Kindly go back and consider my previous response, point by point.


There is absolutely no doubt in my mind it's true. None. And we may very well see exactly that before this is all over.


Mahalo VP! H1 Westbound standstill. No we all going get heat stroke!


Good game. Though I think Saint Juste carrying the ball 39 times is a lot. But at least the penalties were kept down.


I said it from day one.The government won the election and the tax payers lost.
Had Junior been honest about his deficit spending he would have been laughed off the election platform period !!
" yes I'm going to spend $30 billion a year on he status quo and vote  getting "
I was hoping this parasitic left government could convince it lefty friends to support ethical Canadian oil over unethical Middle East oil but nope - Junior failed at that as well.


Again, you are saying "help the poor, except don't help them!"


There is no SWAT in Canada.

Gathering your education and opinions from US movies are we?


"There is nothing slanderous or false about my statements." Sure there is Bill. It's the classic Big Lie. You offer no proof. No specifics. Just holler "traitor, traitor, traitor!" It's the classic smear campaign from people who bring nothing of substance to the political discussion, just lies and negativity. A great way for you and your guru (Trump) to "Make America Great Again".

How do you define assault trucks? Can you distinguish and identify the difference between automatic and semi automatic assault trucks? Can a semi automatic assault truck built to look like an automatic assault truck be legal? Let's have some logic here!!!


"Ms. Notley said indigenous people do not have a veto over the project."  While true at the moment that may change depending upon what the Supreme Court of Canada has to say when the issue comes before them.

In the Haida and Taku River decisions in 2004, and the Mikisew Cree decision in 2005, the Supreme Court of Canada held that the Crown has a duty to consult and, where appropriate, accommodate when the Crown contemplates conduct that might adversely impact potential or established Aboriginal or Treaty rights. The Court explained that the duty stems from the Honour of the Crown and the Crown's unique relationship with Aboriginal peoples.

A 2014 SCOC decision edged right up to a veto power.  The unanimous 8-0 ruling was written by Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin saying “(a)boriginal title confers the right to use and control the land and to reap the benefits flowing from it,” in  setting aside timber licences granted by BC.  See Tsilhqot’in Nation v. British Columbia, 2014 SCC 44

Sure, I'll just mosey on down the road to the heroine dealer and let him know.... because if it's two things we want, it's to know drug dealers and how to make them more entrepreneurial.


Stick a fork in Bill Morneau, he is just about done.


Website? Like the state's "health connector"?????

Hahahahahahahaha!!!!


BEE is failing because the contractors are been set up to fail with various Gov departments not paying these contractors for months because the "budgets" have run out so they don't get paid from in many cases, as in this year, from end of November 2016 to end of May 2017 until the new budget becomes available how can they become successful


Thanks for the rear-view mirror analysis, Captain Obvious


300 appointments yet to be filled.  Least effective government in decades.  50% of campaign "promises" broke.

The mounting evidence of this government being "in over it's head" is undeniable.


silly Republican tripe.  Republicans have truly become the party of the ignorant and cruel.


If you don't mind, I'll sidestep the gender issues for the moment.

Commonalities between President Trump and Pope Francis are few and far between, but they do both have a tendency to go off-script, often with unfortunate results. That said, Francis' gaffes are usually well-intentioned while Trump's are, more often than not, mean-spirited. Trump is like the neighborhood bully. He can't build himself up without tearing somebody else down in the process.

I don't want to return to the days when every word a pope uttered was vetted to death by the Curia, but I do think Francis could benefit from keeping a more disciplined tongue. I just calls 'em as I sees 'em.


The bitterness, insensitivity and generally overall rude comments below, suggest to me, these people are just downright, nasty bitter people, never enjoyed the thrills, emotions and joy that the Hip brought into most Canadian lives, don't really care for music and how it transcends people as a whole.

For that I feel really sorry for all the bitter souls out there, who cannot experience the joy of music, and the utter joy of The Tragically Hip.


Another blatant lie from the one of the Trumpettes.


You are hilarious. Richard Spencer coined the term alt-right but MSW shouldn't invoke Spencer in defining the alt-right.

Uh, OK.


"You've got to do it every single day. You've got to do it at practice, you've got to do it when you don't feel good, you've got to do it when you travel, you've got to do it when you're tired. You just do it every single day. That becomes the norm and the expectation. That's what we have to set here."

That should be on the dressing room wall and on the back of every paycheck, even if he did borrow heavily from Ken Dryden.


SB91 will have him back on the streets and coming to a neighborhood near you very soon.


I bet the pump was there before the subdivision. How long until the homeowners sue?


Mr. Dalton:  Yours is a very strong, impassioned statement of one of the most divisive issues we face today.

We know that the election of President Obama brought forth a deluge of racism which hasn't been seen since the days of the battle for Civil Rights.  Tens of millions of racist rants have been posted attacking him.  While many of us hoped the election of our first black President might signal movement toward increased harmony, it has, instead, energized the most racist elements and brought them out of the shadows.

The relations between the black community and the police are the worst I've seen since the early 1960s,  In many instances (and I don't blame them) blacks don't trust the police and see every interaction as a danger...conversely, police often feel the same way about blacks......a recipe for disaster, as we have seen.

I have a bi-racial biological Grandson and two adopted black Grandchildren....in today's social climate, I fear for their safety....that's sad....


The NDP are proving to be a disaster...


Uhhhhh.    Because it was yesterday's main news story??????
Ya think?


Five Guys doesn’t even toast their buns. I’m not sure I can trust your taste in hamburgers.


Donnie Two Scoops doesn't care. And he doesn't care what is in it. He won't read it or understand it.

He just wants to sign something so he can declare victory over the black guy, since he is a racist dirt bag.


Well, that is because the wall is almost completely built, just not out of concrete. Its electronic. I should have mentioned DACA. Both Democrats and Republicans want Congress to approve it and make it  official. The most important issue is getting our military expenses under control. Do you know we have 19 aircraft carriers and the other countries including China only have one or two and congress has approved building three more 13 billion dollar super carriers in addition to the USS Gerald Ford that was recently delivered to the Navy? That does not include the cost of the very expensive F-35's they will carry.


It was directly related and substantiated but there is HIPPA for a reason.


Too bad the homeless are being pushed out. Kakaako used to be a favorite spot.


Don you know that 'cost of living' isn't the problem.

What accounts for Alaska's high spending is programs Washington and Oregon do a better job of resisting.

And that's the subsidizing of private business concerns using public money by way of direct subsidies, tax breaks and state sponsored corporate welfare programs.

It's not just Walker and friends who want to get into our wallets to keep that going, it's a prime directive of the Republican legislature and has been for about 3 decades now.


If what this defector says is true, than any kind of mistake could trigger a catastrophe, even one not involving military action...at some point there will be casualties regardless, if NK continues on this path.


The A.C.A. is just another of the long list of failures of Barack Obama.


What everyone ignores is that CDoT is dying to do this complicated project. Everyone's resume will look better. Doing a 270/76 reroute is boring.


It is disgraceful.  $235,000 for a superintendent.  With ASD cutting teachers, putting more students into classrooms, cutting counselors, cutting gifted programs and the board hands out 50,000 pay increase!  When will people stand up and say enough is enough!! Paramo speaks out one side of her mouth and takes the pay increase with a smile...hey guys lets go skydiving now!


Shattered - I believe the Permanent Fund and its earnings belong to the people of Alaska (I think we can agree), and was set up to save surplus oil income for a future date.  I think that future date is here and we should use the Permanent Fund earnings to fund state services we all enjoy rather than send checks to individual Alaskans.  I sense that you feel entitled to an individual check and are not willing to chip in for the common good.


You are wrong again as usual...and it is your comments that are disgraceful.  Pandora means what she says - not what you determine.  You have not offered a fact about what I have said.  Ever.  THAT is what is disgraceful...and somehow passes for civility here.

I have condemned the wrongful actions of some rogue cops...and called for prayers for all - but you have NEVER condemned the attacks on police.  Never. No mention of the 6 unprovoked attacks last week by you.  Not a whisper.

You mention I always bring up Michael Brown.  You DO know this article was about him, right?  You also are perpetuating more falsehoods about my comments concerning Tamir Rice.

Why do you do that, John?  Why do you spread falsehoods, purposeful misstatements, misdirection, and cruel, false spinning of what others say?  Your animus is "very one-sided."

I pray you will stop.


The push back is "how will he pay for this?"

No question how we will pay for the resettlement of 550,000 + refugees a Clinton administration desires to bring in at 20,000/refugee.

Just an observation.


No it began in Hindustan where the Muslims,  Sikhs and other visible minorities were not allowed to live with the majority


The 'poorly educated' will still believe Trump ........................


The pope has total authority, and he's had 1000 days.


Of course Gardner voted like he was told.  That is how repubs get anything done.  Not by persuasion of others but with threats (to primary them when they run for re-election), bribes (trying to give your state money so that you will vote for a stinker of a bill), or just for naked power (offer you a great job in Congress is you do what they tell you to do).

That is the "moral courage" of repubs nowadays.  They vote to take away your health care and then try to lie to you that they did not.


Actually if you just remove their safety, they will prefer to move back to their homes in the wilderness. Walls do help, but the real solution is not encouraging them to hang around. The only friendly bear is a dead one.


Lowering the small business tax rate is just a distraction and does nothing to address the problems with the proposed tax changes. I don't see how the author can suggest that it may quell the rising anger against the Liberals from the small business community. It has nothing to do with it.


i think all canadians would agree taking care of our own and bringing in as trudeau wants hundreds of thousands more is insane given the economy and employment pit we are in


Or maybe you just like what you do.


Bankrupting the West by making our governments spend inordinate amounts of money keeping tabs on a certain religious group in our country is a strategy of warfare.


I'd like a guided tour to the edge of this flat earth. Come on, show us where it is.


I don't take candy from babies and money from somebody whose brain isn't right like you and the Chump.


Perhaps the NDP will established an Independent Commission to look into all those $1 Million + homes in Metro Vancouver which are owned by people whose
income indicates they are below the Poverty Line.
Our previous Liberals Christy Clark, DeJong, Coleman et al apparently could not rationalize how these people were able to afford their homes.(sarc)
Something in the air in BC more than smoke needs looking into, including our Justice system, Real Estate Companies, Organized crime laundering, Banks etc etc etc. Politicians in BC can not blame this on our Police who are the usual Scapegoats in Vancouver.


because, at this moment there is no government.


Just another Lot in contemporary Sodom.  The homosexuals always end up banging on the door to force their immoral acts on society.   Leave and don't look back Stephen.  Open up your own market; good people will come to buy your products.


Cultural appropriation alert!

Cultural appropriation alert!


A shuffle already? So basically they screwed up when they appointed the cabinet a year ago?


If you carried a torch with those Nazis, if you marched alongside them as they chanted "Jews will not replace us" and "blood and soil" you are not a "very fine person", you are, at best, a Nazi sympathizer.
At worst, you are a Nazi.
If you stood and chanted with men and women who wore hoods emblazoned with confederate flags you are a KKK sympathizer.
If you stand up for these people's good intentions and walk in solidarity with their "defense of cultural heritage" you are at least a fellow traveler in white supremacy, more likely a white supremacist yourself.
Nobody marching with that crowd is a decent person, nobody.
And they all had a hand on the steering wheel, as did Trump and his entire group of supporters, every one.


There was a freshman coach.  Most players were on scholarship, and were acknowledged with lettering all four years.  These years back then were really HORRIBLE years for Iowa football.  Our teams were not very good, very poor records, many coaching changes.  I compare it to the 1970-1980+ years of Oregon football.   At this time in the Midwest there was the Huge Black Movement going on, a lot  of societal and sports turmoil.     Many black players protested and I am trying to remember I think 12-14 players were kicked off the team but told they could  come back the following year for reinstatement if team players approved.  DARK  years for sure, I  played, put my time in, but I will tell you or anyone that I am NOT a proud Alumni because of what went on there at that time and also what went on  behind closed doors.  This was a major reason why I moved out of the state.   Take it for what  it is................Game Over........


Great Posts and Comments.
Living in war time London the bus was the way to get around and explore
which I took advantage of. I knew all the local bus routes and loved going down to the London Docks .
They were real communities with very  few cars. School nearby, many local shops to run errands to  and play with friends  in the street and court yards of the tenements where most people lived. Times were tough but the camaraderie of the local children with the added  advantage of having  grandparents and other family members  living close by  was an added bonus for support.
One cannot turn the clock back but city planners have a lot to answer   for of the soulless sub divisions they have  created and consequent social challenges people families have to face.


Really? Orlando, the one event had 49 people killed and 53 wounded. Not to mention San Bernardino, Chattanooga, Boston and a slew of smaller lesser known attacks. Or honor killings for that matter, another form of Muslim extremist murder.

No attack came from the banned countries?

Apparently, you've already forgotten about the attack in November by a Somali refugee in Ohio who ran his car into a crowd and then jumped out with a knife? Or the Somali refugee who in September knifed nine people in a Minnesota mall after yelling, “Allahu Akbar!”


Buy a flashlight, make sure your phone is charged. Don't use your phone as a flashlight. Burns the battery fast.

We are doing board games with the family :) a fun night riding the storm out.


James Reeves - I challenge you to provide a statement from the Malin &Till ADHD paper that proves fluoridation causes ADHD.

Provide specific references to legitimate studies that even remotely conclude that drinking optimally fluoridated water is proven to cause lowered IQ, ADHD or any other negative health issue.

Explain why, if fluoridation is harmful and ineffective, the scientific consensus supports fluoridation as safe and effective and consequently over 100 national and international scientific and health organizations publically recognize the public health benefit of fluoridation for preventing dental decay?

How many national and international scientific and health organizations support the anti-F opinions?  I have not been able to find any.

Why should anyone believe the completely unsupported, opinions of fluoridation opponents?


One of the problems is that many employers are too demanding of "prior experience," and the wages they offer is not adequate to live on in Hawai`i.  Don't businesses train workers anymore?
What good is a 4-year college degree when entry level employers dismiss it as "irrelevant?"
Often prospective workers submit applications and never even hear from prospective employees.  Some businesses are so tight for money they can only hire part-time workers at minimum wage (Movie theaters are one of these).
We need to make some changes.  We need employees to have a livable wage and full-time benefits.  Then we can solve this problem.


"the largest deficits in Canadian history" "Harper ran nothing but deficits".

Neither according to Finance Canada. Perhaps you could explain to us why they are so wrong.


You're completely right that the problem was as more political theater than concern over the court function.     And I would hope you would see the effort to NOT replace him as much of the same.   Statute says there should be nine justices, it doesn not mention political ideology.

I think both of us would be happy seeing this as a less partisan process?    It's a joke to say the President, any modern President, isn't beholding to his/her political party.   Unlike the framers image, the executive branch is not independent of the congress, or more specifically, the executive branch has become a highly partisan post supported by the money funneled through The Party connections.


Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond has done a very good job for British Columbia, considering how child services is considered an irksome cost to the BC (highly conservative) Liberal party. I'm impressed, though, that she declined the offer in favour of the convention of including one Atlantic judge in the SCC. Like it or not, customs and traditions are part of the constitutional process, and it's important that they be defended from time to time.


She will win this and rightfully so.  Sue some sense into the sadistic, incompetent idiots running our jails.


Shut up......GOOF!


Hopefully, his last stand.


The media certainly blew it up to epic proportions because they hated Harper because he avoided them if possible.


Because there's so much talk, talk, talk and very little walk, feminism has become a very annoying and cloying b**ch. Peace marches once every several years; feminist marches once every 10 years. Labour strikes once in a blue moon. One would think we were living in 19th Century Czarist Russia.


I agree with your larger point but it's silly to blame "academia" rather than larger cultural characteristics of American culture. Many of the articles I have read about the white lower middle class is they do not view themselves objectively from a class point of view so much as they feel an emotional affinity with their racial or gender group.  Frequently, they don't see themselves as poor even when they actually are. Rather they view themselves as temporarily "down on their luck" and look up to the rich (Trump-like figures) as role models even though in reality they have almost no chance of emulating them, their lifestyles or wealth especially in the absence of an education. The white lower middle class men (especially) seem to view educated women (like Hillary Clinton or professional women) with disdain.
Class isn't as cogent in America not because of elitism in academia (which of course exists) but rather because Americans eschew class comparisons and the very idea of equality.


Apparently, there is no process for Tania to become a citizen.  She has a good immigration lawyer and has been reporting to ICE regularly since 2008, but she is still a "deportable alien."

Aliens who commit crimes are regularly deported.  During the Obama administration, for instance, more than 2 million criminal aliens were deported.

There are about 20,000 "deportable aliens" living in Hawai`i today, mostly from the Philippines and Japan.  Many of them live with their US families.  Odds are some are living peacefully in your neighborhood.  As Tania's story shows, ICE is going after them, regardless of the calamity it brings for their US families.  Imagine her children growing up without their mother.


...actually Adam is extremely Christian. Sometimes Christianity isn't the answer..


I don't think so, since for a long time the hipster choice par excellence was Pabst Blue Ribbon - nothing more pedestrian than that!


Bull!  Please list for us all suicide bombs, truck attacks, nightclub shootings et. al. which Christians have committed in the name of god.

Your silly little deflection is completely irrational and dishonest.


Isn't it disingenuous to post the gross revenue without referring also to the cost of production? I know you understand that oil companies are in business to make a profit on their investments. Tax credit programs are a judgment by the State to encourage development of resources such as in Cook Inlet. Reform due to changed conditions is mandatory but lets not pretend we are getting screwed.


Chinese have a lot of options to stoke up hostilities to US and west.

Option 1: better missile delivery technology to North Koreans.
Option 2: better weapons to freedom fighters in Middle East, such as Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc.
Option 3: Liberation of Taiwan
....

Who do you think you are to blackmail China?


The Council identified that one of Canada’s most promising sectors is agriculture and food (ag-food).

Canada has a self inflicted major handicap in agricultural trade. Most countries of the world hate our dairy policy. It is a major stumbling block.


The ballot should be printed with 2 more blocks on it:
1. No to all bonds
2. Yes to all bonds
It would save time
Or you can fill in each bond area separately.


Grizzlybear, nowhere have I ever said I support Obama or Hillary. So, along with all of your other shortcomings, you have a serious lack of reading comprehension.

And no, I don't live in my Mom's basement or in really low income housing as you have charged. I live in a really nice home that I built in south Anchorage, not that it matters when the conversation we were having is about how you were whining about being a poor underserved state worker who can't make ends meet on his bloated salary and benefit package.


True, but he could issue a repudiation of Duke's comments.

Here's how easy it is.....

"I do not want or need the support of David Duke or his like-minded automatons."

That is his biggest problem.  He can't leave well enough alone.

Go back to the Gold Star family.....if Trump has just said "I disagree with Mr. and Mrs. Khan, but their son is a hero, and I respect and appreciate his sacrifice", it would have been over with then and there.  And no.....that's not being PC....it's being smart and civil.  But no, he had to be thin-skinned, and ramble on about his "sacrifices" (like sacrificing a few dollars is the same as sacrificing your life) and how the Khan's "have no right to criticize me" (actually, they do).

Just admit it....he isn't coming for your guns, so you don't care what he does.  Be a man and admit it.


It is just damn impossible to pitch NDP leadership when you have the debacle that is Notley and her crew of incompetents running the show currently in Alberta.


I donated the maximum amount two years running, am not a business leader nor have I attended an event with an MP.

I do not believe reasonable doubt would sway your position.


In all the things Canadians did not do, you forgot the most important thing:

Our Canadian Govt (both Liberal and Conservative) turned a blind eye and did not advocate on behalf of a citizen for rights guaranteed for all citizens.   One of these rights is the right to a swift trial.   Khadr was held without charge and without trial for years and our Govt (both Liberal and Conservative) did nothing.     Why?   Because it was "popular" to let him fester in jail.

Your premise that this was done to avoid public scrutiny makes no sense since there's more than enough blame to go around and none of it on our current Govt who were left to clean up a mess.


Your an expert in this field. What's you honest take on the event?


All forms of Islamophibia must be eliminated and all forms of Trumpism must be stopped for the future of mankind!


Again, the argument for illegal immigration by CALLING it immigration.  Listen up nut jobs, immigration is not the problem. Its ILLEGAL immigration.  Quit saying immigration when talking about illegal immigration. Damn!


a DECADE later and still B$ crap.  Come on anyone with a brain has been saying this and also SEND THE ONES HOMOE not from HAWAII... Also do these people not have nay family in the islands ?


What ever happened to "sexual preference?"  The homosexual activists canned the term because it expressed the truth; "born with immutable sexual attraction" is an easier fight, especially when it's impossible to prove a negative.

I'd probably stick with a logical argument about anatomy and physiology (as none of my gay friends are religious) and how they are missing out on the greatest blessing that we have as humans: a complementary sex with whom we can create offspring.  Such an easy trade-off for perverted use of the sex organs.


A line finally crossed. Does this mean everything else, the proximity to power, the promotion of hateful views at the highest levels, the free advertising for extremist outlets, is no longer ascendant? Not likely. These people are just getting started. They will gladly burn their own for the show.


Real local style eh? Normally you would learn what is appropriate dress along the way to becoming a D-1 head coach. Or not.


What about the folks planning on going that don't  watch tv or read the news?   I know people that go weeks without doing that.  By the way,  I'm not dumb and own three dogs that stay home when we are going out however many people do take theirs with them.   We learned many many years ago that a holiday in Alaska is a very good time to stay home and do home chores.   Lots of other weekends without the drunks and the crowds.


In today's news conference, Trudeau refused to allow Morneau to answer direct questions from reporters.  Clearly a sign of the blind leading the blind.


Ditto for Vietnamese Boat People - they got down to work, learned the language and became contributing Canadian citizens ! Had a crew of them as line operators, best workers in our group. I discussed their personal experiences with some of them - horrifying but they did not dwell on the past.....


Just another WaPo nonsense he said-she-said-they-said story with 0 information being regurgitated by the DP. Pathetic!


There is a list of 41 first, second and third world countries with higher rates of homeownership than America available here:

Wealthy countries with even lower homeownership rates than the United States are:
Germany 51.90%
Switzerland 43.40%


My neighbor is a long-haul truck driver.  I turned him on to CBD and he loves it...!!!  He just bought 500 grams.
Plus...DOT doesn't test for it...


At what age are they old enough to consent? In our State? or another? Nothing is clear, everything is nebulous. If "She" consents in a State where 14 is the Age of consent,
would this 19 year old kid be off the hook?
"Our society teaching boys that they can treat women like objects is the problem" and How do "we" do that? But in your next breath you may extol the benefits of "empowering women" and "Their bodies are their own"- as arguments for being a nude dancer, or such...clearly a conscious decision to be an "object".


What you never heard of medical marijuana?  It's good for you and its legal.


why would they spend money on illegals....... i think we have plenty now..... not unless they're on sale...... then yes..... spend more on illegals


The Republic party is "letting down" the entire country - but that's been obvious for a long time.
And the current Democrats sure aren't bathed in glory.


This is typical, they always get it backwards.  Set the budget then expect the contractors to adjust their bids to fit it without knowing the real world
costs of materials or labor.


Mason completely misses the fact that Wall and his minions had the unmitigated gall to lower income taxes on the rich and corporations and raise them on everyone else, including taxing children's clothing, and taking away essential transportation services for cancer patients and seniors in rural areas and cutting libraries.

It is simply astonishing that Wall could even contemplate such a callous and brutal course of action. Even Harper never went that far.

This budget is in the spirit of the GTH scandal: Wall is quite happy to shovel buckets of money at the wealthy and the well-connected without even bothering to conceal it.

You can be sure, Mr. Wall. This time people won't forgive or forget.

Wall and his cronies just proved that they are completely lacking in heart and soul. From here on in many many people will consider them no more than a cruel and incompetent caretaker government.


Can't argue with that math!


In other words, a relic from the Clinton/Chretien years and a university prof. Two more Sensitive Nineties Males filled with contempt for the depraved times they have lived to see. Because that's what this article amounts to.

Pundits complain of too much partisanship in American politics--yet this one criticizes Trump for compromising with the other side.

They complain that he's destabilizing the situation with North Korea, yet he has managed to get China to put the screws to them, the first President ever to achieve this.

These two say that Trump's protectionism is a bad thing, yet they hail from a time when the U.S. was outsourcing right and left, leaving purchasers of supposedly American computers talking to thickly accented support techs in India who were congenitally unable to depart from a script.

We are witnessing no less than a generational power shift; it's to be expected the incumbents are going to be bitter. But, man, listening to them talk is like eating a raw lemon.


The last two people in Eugene that got lesser plea deals testified against the guy who instigated the multiple bank robberies, kidnapping and death of the man who was killed by shoving an arrow into his ear canal and into his brain, although he  was also strangled with a chain at the same time.

He was sentenced to death, the guy shoving the arrow got life in prison and the girl got a lesser sentence.

Works for me.

And it worked for the jury who didn't come in with their own agenda as yo would if you were called as a juror.


You're not going to make much headway with arguments like that.

What you should do is to undercut the entire idea of sacrifice as the essence and model of perfect love, but you won't be able to do that using Scripture!

The notion of offering - a priest offering for others - goes too far back in Scripture for you to undercut it.  Remember Abraham - carrying wood on his shoulder (a priest's role!) - for the sacrifice?

So Jesus raised & perfected the image of sacrifice and the priest.  Priest & victim as the Catholic Church teaches.

And you'll have to argue that "died once and for all" should be understood in purely human terms, temporal, once & for all, done.  Rather than "once & forever more".

Catholic priests "partake" in the ministerial/liturgical role of Jesus's ONGOING salvific action; we "partake" in the "common priesthood" role, by offering our own work, struggles, efforts, sacrifices TO GOD in union with the ongoing sacrifice of Jesus in the Mass. One sacrifice; unity.


As is often the case you are engaging your mouth before using your brain. In Alaska, homeowners over age 65 are exempt from paying property taxes on the first $150,0000 of assessed value of thier primary residence. That means the rest of us have to pay higher taxes to make up the difference.

I'm glad that you support the socialism in the form of Social Security and Medicare. I do too.


You made a rather selective edit there, though.

“You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

Sounds a little different when you don't cut out the part about how these are people that have been repeatedly failed by the things they thought they could depend on, including their government, and are looking for something that *won't* fail them.


IGGY is a Soros PUPPET. Also a POS


Boomer generation retirement does not mean " work free days" but rather "not looking for work".


But you were perfectly fine with it when Obama held multiple closed door meetings with Black Lives Matter at the White House (aka the Klan with a tan)? Remember when 5 Dallas cops died because of their rhetoric? What about the alt-left radical who shot Congressman Scalise? How's he doing? Haven't heard a word in weeks about the victim of left wing terror...Trump was quick to make sure not to blame Bernie for his supporter's actions but not Bernie. He couldn't blame Trump fast enough.


With all do respect to the author, we need to take the checkbook away from the clergy, and by that I mean all administration, and vest it with a deaconate that need not be male, permanent or celibate, but must be both elected by the parish and election the diocesean admiistrator. Let the clergy operate on a different track, although getting rid of celibacy, maleness and hierarchy would be good steps too. And give clerical permanent deacons the power of absolution as well. More people might come back to confession. You could even ordain Catholic therapists. What a way to end the hour!


The classic straw man.


Huh.  I doubt too many people would draw that conclusion ... methinks you protest too much.


In other words, you don't understand the issue is one of electoral spending/limits/contributions.


Kurt lives in Kailua. He is better than you or I.

One of them will be arrested on a different charge and agree to identify and testify against the others to get a good deal for himself.

The ones not testifying can look at the Mandatory Minimum sentence of 7 years 6 months for Robbery I, a Class A Felony.


Oh Look, Wisconsin Decertified Their Opscan Voting Machines.

That must explain the 'miracle' of Trump's election.


The Feds and LA PD are laughing at Hawaiian Air for their actions and how they fumbled this one badly.


Thank you for making  my point:  the kids did not break the law, their parents did.


The usual jokes, the repeated deflections, and the reflexive cruelty hide nothing. This shames Russia.

Since the police already ignore domestic violence, this legislation changes little. Really, all it does is get rid of paperwork and absolve the police in advance of any claim against them for failing to deal with a horrendous problem.

Contrary to what the small group of Russophiles here intimate, this is not about a tiny bit of spanking. This hideous legislation permits beatings and domestic terror up to, but not beyond, the point of medical attention. No medical attention needed = no crime. Did you beat your spouse or children black and blue, but not so much that a doctor was required? No problem! Pay the fine, and be on your way. Where's the money coming from? The meager household budget! The accused goes home, there are more beatings, and the threat, "Keep your mouth shut...or else." Silence.

Most Canadians would simply be astonished at the levels of casual violence in Russia.


Ditto....


Oahu voters approved this project.  It will reach the airport by early next year.  HART will cost more than estimated.  It is creating jobs.  It will improve life on Oahu.  I understand your concerns.  Life will be OK. HART will eventually reach Ala Moana (also known as the Convention Center).


And other millions aren't.


Cool.  I have noticed though, that architects have a tendency to be very forthright about what they like and what they don't like, even in Canada.   (Basically, take my comment at face value!)


I hope this doesn't mean she will be leaving the show, I love the show and I love watching and listening to Sue even when she is just doing normal daily routines. These producers need to understand that most of us don't actually like the fake drama they create on shows like this. We watch them because we genuinely like the people and of course the scenery.


You sound like a racist to me. Foreigners'? You are probably one yourself.


I doubt my Arabic-speaking grandmother would have passed: Her Grade 4 education and lack of English would not have allowed her to understand which “values” were the right answer.
But she was a good Canadian. And her values were just fine.
Marie Henein

but surely someone who did NOT have your grandmother's values
but had anti Canadian values
should not be admitted

don't you think ?


More important than the cost of rescue services is the TIME that is taken away for these rescues when someone who truly needs to be rescued happens.  Just a rough example:  someone who is badly injured by accident and needs to be airlifted to the hospital, but the helicopter is busy rescuing someone who broke the law by hiking on a restricted trail.  On flotilla day, we were just lucky that there were no other "legitimate" emergencies needing lifeguard assistance.


Uranium One is nothing but a lie to distract from the president's own problems. Hillary Clinton is not the president and never will be, so she is a non issue. You should be more concerned about the misbehavior of the man who is president.


How many rubles were you paid for your comment?


This is different than 'single issue voting' -- The voter is reducing the Office of the President to a single issue without awareness of the interconnectivity of the micro-issue to the macro-issues as it is held by the "Office of the President". And in this instance, the person in the Office has a"business" model superimposed over the Office of President. He issues a one page talking points description on Tax Reform with the corporate expectation that someone down the org chart will flesh it out for the CEO.
The business/corporate model of Office of President, allows for industrial growth - only. Selling weapons without awareness of their use. Removing environmental protections to build more industry. Dismantling agreements to facilitate industrial sales.  There is no long vision required, The Office of President is for this president, head of a multinational corporation and he has only staffed a "board of directors" of which he is president.

His diminished POTUS  = a celebrity CEO.


It's not a tax rate of 75% that is being discussed (according to the article), it is an inclusion rate of 75%. Right now capital gains are included at 50% - so a $1,000 capital gain counts as $500 income, at a 50% combined federal and provincial marginal tax rate the total tax paid is $250. A 75% inclusion rate would mean that the total tax paid is $375. This would hurt me a lot personally, but I don't think it is especially unfair. One would still be able to offset capital gains with capital losses, which is a big difference from ordinary income.


Into a 'savings account' or do you mean a 'tax free savings account'.

I suspect you mean the latter.


Agreed. He's paid to lie and try to put a better spin on Two Scoop's awful actions, and you could open the telephone book at random and find someone more articulate than Donnie, and apparently Miller met that low barrier of entry to the job.

I'm not sure that makes him someone that "thinking persons" should admire...


From the look of the pricing and the participating stores, Walmart customers are not the target market . .

You are so patient, Old Abuelo!


That one over there.


FWIW I score 8 out of 12 with 2 bonus points. Though, there were other aspects of privilege that I had that were missing from Wente's list. Not exactly a sociologically accurate list ;). My spouse scores 9+2 but had NO other privilege.

As a child I frequently flew business class on my Dad's employer's dime, and, I moved countries more often than most people move house. I also speak three languages and me and my children are citizens of two of the wealthiest countries on the face of the planet.

Now I have 3 children with only 1 spouse in a $$$ city--another indicator of privilege.

My children, on the other hand, already score 11 out of 13 (I can't see any of them growing up knowing what to do with two different sized forks other than to have TWO opportunities to stab each other), and, provided they go to uni they'll have a 12/13 (no forks though).

PS I'm not sure where the denominator of 13 comes from. The list is 12 items long and allows for bonus points only for graduate degrees.


Yeah, like, no tracks from the heaviest sedan on the road?


Hey - in case you have not noticed, the Democrats don't have to do anything, the first graders is himself working his way out of office.  Even tillerson thinks he's a moron & he works for him.  When will his supporters finally get a clue?


What about the vicious attacks made on Cardinal Burke on this site, do you deplore them, too?


I have a growing respect for Saul Hubbard.  He has a great future in journalism.


So it's just temporary.  Thank God.


Did Meuller and Comey both used to work with HSBC/Hedge fund that worked for the Clinton Foundation and paid them Million$?


Trumps followers ARE MORE THAN HALF fake accounts. Case closed.


Of course the Rockies are leaking some oil, because they're absolutely not a 100-win team. If the Dodgers and Dbacks remain on that pace, the Rockies will fall behind them - but that doesn't equate to a bad season, or support the notion that this team is not a huge improvement over the past several s--- shows they've put on the field.


If the economic laws of competition and supply and demand work, opening up insurance across statelines increases the number of insurers available to Alaskans from two to around 50 (there were more than 100 before the ACA went into effect). A 25 times increase in the number of insurers ought to lower premiums in the same way it did for auto insurance. If they also remove the individual mandate, that allows people who want insurance to negotiate with insurers for their coverage. It's entirely possible that my husband and I would prefer not to pay for some coverages we don't need. Single men might not want to pay for pregnancy coverage for example.

By the way, I know whole company of people who make less than $80,000 a year. Before the ACA came in, we were paying about $400. My former coworkers now pay about $1000 a month and their deductible is so high, they are essentially paying for all medical care except surgery & broken bones out of pocket.

What did they gain from that?


She's as much a serial killer as you are truthful.


"The home, filthy and chaotic with a broken front door, reeks of marijuana."  No mention of Emanuel's father!

This is a cultural problem that is/was exacerbated by the "Great Society's" misguided programs and its supporter's mindset.  Blaming society at large is not a fix for the problems created by the segment of society that has embrace redistribution of wealth in an attempt to fix cultural problems.  When it comes to sin taxes, most folks believe that if you tax a harmful activity, you will have less of it and if you subsidize the activity you will have more of it.  I often wonder why some folks embrace sin taxes with the belief that it will reduce poor choices all-the-while embracing the subsidization of families that make poor choices. There was a time when a family unit became unfit, the solution was to place children into the care or others until the problem was resolved or the child became of age.  No more, now we just subsidize flawed family units.


So when the reporter asked about the ordination of women, Francis should have replied something like this: I really think this is an open question so pay no attention to what my two predecessors said. Perhaps we should lay aside all hope of reconciling with the Orthodox Churches by entertaining the prospect of doing something they would never abide. Besides, I don't want to stir up animosity from Maureen Fiedler and her many supporters.


[These landowners purchased subject to an adverse posession easement and tried to fight it.]
Just a slight correction.  The correct term you are looking for is prescriptive easement.  Adverse possession allows someone to take possession.

I am glad she is alive and appears to be well.

My baby sister was 18, married for 7months, and 3 months pregnant when a careless drunk driver took her life and her unborn child. Recalling back I believe the story may have made page 5, 6, or 7 ? Who cares what page not I, but your observation of page 1 is spot on IMO.


The reason he is owed compensation is that Canada failed to protect his rights as a citizen — despite being warned by the Supreme Court, the government acquiesced and allowed the US to illegally detain and torture Khadr.

The award is actually good news, in the sense that it reminds our government that they can't just pick and choose which citizens they want to protect.


You mean like Pope Benedict XVI likening the eucharistic confecting priest to a bride/bridgroom relating to the bridegroom? Worse.


"He’s taken a vow of poverty, makes about $40,000 a year as a Catholic priest," Lawrence Nolan (lawyer defending Father Jonathan Wehrle from embezzlement) said Monday.—  “The Lord opener her heart to pay attention, (Acts 16:14), but. Evidently, not the heart of lawyer Nolan.  “Let them sing for joy upon their couches” (Psalm 149:5), couches honestly gotten and not under a cloud of embezzlement.  “The Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, he will testify to me” (John 15:26) and straighten out whether or not a crime is involved in the Okemos, Michigan ten acre gated estate, owned by Father Wehrle.  Liturgy of the Word, Reading 291, Monday of the Sixth Week of Easter I.  “The Lord takes delight in his people” (Psalm 149: see 4a), no matter what.


You wont see that in the story provided by the AP Hilo.   Try looking at the London papers.  They have 14 suspects so far.


This is a big fracking mistake!


I would love to be on your jury, I would send you to russia, along with comrade drumpf


Why are trumpkins so bad at science, English, math, and history. The Soviet Union collapsed due to a complex myriad of reasons; Reagan's increase in US military spending isn't one of them.


Personally, I'd say that any candidate who admired the vile works of Ayn Rand, ought to be disqualified and rejected outright. What kind of Canadian could even consider a leader who admired these kind of bitter, cruel and grubbily shallow screeds?


Trump is a very ill man.  During those periods when he is appearing to be engaged, his complexion is florid and and puffy.  Then there are occasions where he is not animated and which he is pale  and appears lost.   At the G20, at one point he started to wander off and had to be redirected by security, or when he had left Air Force I and wandered past his limo to God knows where.  The White House has been turned into a care home.


Life can be that cheap in Toronto for what amounted to negligent manslaughter  ?

Just goes to show that innocence and justice has no value in our canadian society..


You lack basic financial and economics understanding if you think double digit interest rates could magically occur (also you don't know the difference between your and you're).


Too bad.   Too late.   Too much  already.

If people are so unsure about buying a property, they can rent.

If job relocation, the employer can pay the tax.   Look at Gerald Butts and the others who had very significant relo costs covered.

Illness - well then there should be options for reporting for situations like that.


There are plants which are moose/deer deterrent  .....next time use these!


No. It didn't. Denver isn't even in the top 10 fastest growing cities. This is part of the problem. People living here believe that Denver is exploding and the population is "out of control". It's simply not true. Sure, it's a growing, just like many other growing cities in the west and "new west" - but it's not unique or outpacing other growing cities.


The past is not the present. The issue is Trumps EO not those of any past presidents.  Courts to not make decision of what was not brought before them in the past only what is brought before them in the present.
