Never mind all that.  Let's see what happens when they start having to deal with the Chinese resource extractors.


How do you know how many were around in the past? Where's your evidence? Who are you to decide what's right for any given individual?


We agree with only nuanced differences.

Committing Voter Fraud while at the ballot box is difficult. Singularly, voting in multiple jurisdictions, or registering falsely and/or redundantly, is far more likely. Party coordination of false registration, gathering voter and transporting them to the voting location, while on the way, providing pre-marked ballots or rewarding them for voting as the organizers want, coaching groups on how to vote with false documentation, stuffing ballot boxes or stealing ballot boxes from precincts known to favor the opposition, rigging voting machines, are among some of the organized voter fraud tactics or as you define it, Election Fraud.

Both involve dealing with the ballots, directly, one way or another.

Certainly accusations of misbehavior by a candidate, true or false, don't directly deal with ballot fraud, but rather swaying the mindset of the Voters. But, we don't hold politicians liable for the promises they make during campaigns, so what?


I got a crispy clean $100 bill saying Ige asks for an extension to respond by Oct 11 stating that that is not enough time to review the ask and put together the information needed. So much for “effective and efficient” lol.


We need to protect our children and start boycotting ADN.COM until they stop exaggerating and abusing vague climate change science.

What news editors choose not to tell you;
This is the best time in history to be alive!

*Smog Warning Days have been rare for decades and fracking's abundance is ending the oil wars and giving our children secure and reliable fossil fuel energy.
*Science gave us germ warfare & fracking & 35 years of NEVER agreeing, saying or "believing" that a CO2 end of days was as real as smoking causing cancer.

And we are living longer now than at any time in history.
And you thought neocons were fear mongers?


In times of crisis it's good to know we can count on you for some grade school humor. /s


Margaret Sanger's contribution to society was an organization promoting family planning. Sanger split with the Planned Parenthood progenitor, and her eugenic and racial superiority theories were rejected by Planned Parenthood from the very start. Family planning is a great idea, eugenics is not. Marcia Maclaine's attempt to link the two is dishonest and politically motivated, because she makes abortion rights granted by the Supreme Court and Constitution equivalent to family planning. No doubt Maclaine also is opposed to sex education, vaccination against genital herpes, and contraception.


What would you expect from him?  What have republicans come up with that is new?  Republicans continue to preach the old worn out propaganda about how tax cuts will balance the budget.  They won't.
Its the republicans who are constantly pushing for welfare for the rich.  They are little more than socialists for the rich.  Their goal is to transfer wealth from the middle class to the very rich.


And criminal that the company that dumped the mercury isn't footing the bill.


It was not just a typo, it was ineptness in a report made innaccurate with non-peer reviewed assertions which the IPCC now seems to be moving away from. Good for them but the damage is done and they, along with the UN cannot be trusted to deliver objective assessments.


Actually, I agree groceries will pass on the cost, hence my "Will all companies act like this? No."

I was only explaining to phil under what circumstances a company will not pass on the cost--a national pricing model. The profit margin is a minor factor. Oregon sales are trivial for any large corporation and this tax would be just a blip.

I just like clarity in an argument, and I think it is appropriate to add clarity independent of my particular views. If that is a "liberal fantasy land" so be it.


I didn't say that. You have the right to health care if you choose.

Does your right to health care come with my responsibility to pay for it?

As a side note, I am happy to kick in to help others get health care. But is it your right to come take my money at gunpoint to pay for your health care?


Learn about dogs and realize that they love people who don't care too much about them and you will have people give you their dogs when they get over their craze.  That's why there are plenty of dogs at the shelter.  People don't know how to treat a dog like a dog.


Good one. Now tell us the joke about Donald Trump being the most honest man in the world.


I don't think it will take 7 years for Trump to shrink the U.S. Economy down to the 1/10th its current size.


Way to simplify the civil war in 48......The then existing Arab league did not fail in any attempt to establish an independent Palestine living "next to Israel".  The Arab Leagues concerns were as follows:

[1]  The "international community" must, and indeed did not,  recognize the right of Arab self-determination within the borders of Palestine;

[2] There was no legal mechanisms or authority in place to ensure [1];

[3] The partition plan was considered to be arbitrary.


It is completely obvious that the stabber will claim the stabee was the aggressor.


It's on time and on budget! Chooo choooooo


Disagree. There is a strategy here. I see no evidence of 'inside the trade' investment vehicles, whatever that means - are you suggesting that he trades/traded based on insider information?

If you're suggesting that private equity is not available to the 99+% then that is incorrect. U.S. BDCs ('publicly traded private equity') for example are available to the retail investor.

Overall, this is one of the better 'how I invest' articles that I have seen recently.


"The president is commander in chief of every branch of the U.S. military."

Since President Trump is also grabber-in-chief, is he going to issue a ruling on whether or not transgender people can grab?


Did I say that?


Jonathan Light's resignation from the Springfield Board is a loss, but his new job with the Springfield district is a gain.  Jonathan's leadership on the Board was instrumental in the unanimous vote to encourage parents and students to opt-out of the excessive Smarter Balanced tests.  Very few school boards in the U.S. have had the guts and the vision to say, "Enough of this madness".  From all I have heard, the Board has received no negative comments from Springfield parents.

These tests and the accompanying irrational beliefs  --   that the only thing that matters in school are the tested subjects (reading, writing and arithmetic) and that all students should go to a four-year college --  have crowded out so many subjects of value to students and to society.  The real world is made up of people - students - who are great at working with their minds and hands (skilled labor, the arts, etc. etc.) and people who are good at traditional academics.

Thanks for your service, Jonathan.


Straw, straw, straw. Those words have meaning and are only dismissed out of hand by those who deny the existence of bigotry and racism in favor of a mythology of national virtue.


Time for the feds to start arresting and charging these foolish people for aiding and abetting illegal aliens.


Heroes
Heather Heyer.
Just to remember.


What are we going to do when Trump finally realizes he's the president and can find out this information for himself?


That's all very well and true, but it's disrespectful given the scenario.

People would be up in arms would students have walked out on Obama. They'd be tarnished as 'racists' etc..

Their actions lend credence to the notion that Universities are becoming heavily politicized, unwilling to listen to a variety of ideas, and focused on promoting a specific version of morality.

You can now expect to have students 'walk out' on speakers of all kinds, at all times for  various reasons.

It's fanning the flames of the pop culture wars.


You should be able to travel within the country and on to base with your ID. To have an ID not federally compliant is stupid.


While I agree that globalism has been terrible for many people in Canada and in the rest of the world, Trump does not care about the workers of Canada.  He is making that amply clear with his NAFTA tweets.


Two thoughts:

a) Women get online revenge in other ways, so I'm a little odded out that only an angle typically exploited by men is being explored as problematic. Where's the article on fraudulently claiming someone's a pedophile? Telling everyone's Facebook friends he's got an STI? Calling him a cheater to thousands of people? Telling everyone he's lousy in bed and has a small member? Hijacking his Facebook and locking him out? Masquerading as him and signing him up for gay porn sites? Contacting his employer to smear him?

b) The primary vector for these young men to even obtain these images in the first place is the massive volume of female generated nude selfies. I've yet to read a study on sexting or nude selfies that doesn't show huge majorities of these images being generated by women, specifically to use to solicit male attention, online. Is this a 'live by the sword, die by the sword' situation?


Christy Clark is actually a federal liberal so I think at heart she isn't very right wing, but she is more an opportunist (I say as someone who would have voted for her had I lived in BC for six months) and simply goes wherever she thinks helps her most.  Had she stuck to being a federal Liberal, many BC Liberals would have gone over to the BC Conservatives splitting the right and guaranteeing an NDP win.  I suspect if she was in Ontario, you would see a very different Christy Clark.  Unlike Gordon Campbell, who like or dislike, I don't think she is that strong in principles whereas at least he was.  Some politicians stick to their views but many just run on whatever they think advances their career most.  Now you are right her government most certainly is not a Red Tory one.  As for mentioning Clark though, there is another Clark, namely Joe Clark who is a Red Tory.


Spouting nonsense like a loyal fictional militia member defending stupidity.


A fairly reasonable analysis of how the Conservatives should proceed. The deficit is where the Liberal government is the most vulnerable and where the Conservatives should focus their efforts. They should abandon the simplistic 'privatization and lowering taxes for the wealthy' strategy, and distance themselves from the social conservatism of the Harper government. Also, they shouldn't waste time with pointless rhetoric about talking tough to Trump, Putin etc.  - Trudeau has a good grasp of diplomacy and his approach is likely the wisest one.


I like to want non-local commercials because:

They aren't repeats of what I have already seen many many times.
I get insight to other cultures.
I won't be tempted by those offers that are not applicable to me.

(Note that this also applies to timeshift broadcasts of Canadian content from other parts of Canada.)


Canadians didn't panic during the Cold War either. No bomb shelters in the backyard. The truth is, there is nothing we can do. The greatest risk right now is the US threat to use military force against North Korea. What are we going to do about that???? Convince Trump that is a bad idea??? I don't think so. Keep calm and carry on. Sometimes you have to put your head in the sand.


Again, you show how little you know about Christiandom.  Catholics are part of the equation and doctrinally, they most certainly do believe in the rapture.  It's your World View that needs help, not mine.  Your World View extends from border to border and not beyond when it comes to Christendom.


I understood Trump's second amendment comment as a call to revolution if Hillary were to succeed at getting enough left leaning judges on SCOTUS that they would rip the guts out of the second amendment from the bench.  All it would take would be for them to rule it only applied to militias, not individuals.


The city of Anchorage can't do anything efficiently (how much was the overrun on the SAP system?).  So ML&P needs to go ASAP.  ML&P went too far by using taxpayer money to invest in a gas field (Beluga).  And now, jacking up customer rates to cover a new plant that they shouldn't have built.  Sell ML&P to CEA.


Yup. And the biggest and baddest beast of the "G", China, will do anything it wants, any time it wants, in any quantity it wants, and they're doing it, just try & stop them.
Germany thinks they're what the "G" stands for.
And if women empowerment were really a concern, wouldn't there be more than 2 in the 20 represented? Look at the positions of those who attend. They're not all leaders of their countries.
Just Europe trying to be relevant. Funny.
It must have been a curiosity for Trump. Fun and games.


I owe Abernathy an apology.  In a recent post I sneered at him as apparently dimwitted.  In that column, he was dimwitted.  In this column, he presents a coherent and useful point of view.  Though I reach it starting from a different place, I agree with his implied conclusion that it's not now possible to have an honest conversation about race in America.  The Swastika Right and the Infantile Left, armed with the worst thing that ever happened to the human race, the internet, have both dumped so much poison--magnified many times over by President-Manque Trump--into our public discourse that any sincere effort to discuss race would spend most of its time trying to steer the discussion away from the fringes.  (You could, of course, cherry-pick your discussants and get any result you wanted.)


“So I think Brock’s earned it from that standpoint. In the football game, it wasn’t perfect. He had a couple ill-advised throws."

You think he's earned it? Of course he's earned it.

He's the one player in the NFL who continues to get rewarded by failing.

He started only 15 games at ASU, went 6-9 and "earned" a second round money in the 2012 draft. In 2015 he started 7 games for the Broncos and failed to score once in any second half. That "earned" him a $72MM contract with Houston. Released by Cleveland and preparing for civilian life, Elway saved him again.

Now he starts for a team that won the Super Bowl just 22 months ago.

Keep enabling him and he'll keep disappointing you. If only Kyle Sloter and Chad Kelly could have been so blessed.


So much for free speech.  I guess what we would only hear is what the government deemed appropriate for us.


Bronson Kaahui, That's easy.  Allow only those who are members of a well regulated militia to own guns, as the Second Amendment says.  The do-nothings ensure that more Las Vegas massacres are bound to happen.


You do realize that with many things Obama tried to do he was blocked by Congress and through other means at almost every step of the way, right? From things like immigration reform to the affordable care act his policies were stalled, nitpicked, and transformed far from what his vision was. To the point of shutting the federal government down even. I think it's safe to say that things would be very different if the Republican Congress had made more efforts to work with him rather than just fighting him (and then ironically cash in on people's frustration with the governments ineptness to pass legislation.)

Look at the Supreme Court seat for example. He nominated a judge who was well liked on both sides of the aisle - he truly tried to make a compromise and not appoint someone who the Republicans would view as "ulral liberal" and what did they do? They refused his nomination and cited total nonsense as to the reason's why.


Just curious, but could you please identify a 'far right' source of media for me so I know where the center is?


Well Pan,  I could offer your own advice back to you when those with whom you normally agree are uncivil or outright rude,  and you say nothing to correct them.   It runs both ways.

However, when folks post comments that cast aspersions on the Catholic faith of another person or entity, verbally or with lower case "c" in NCR, etc.,  ...  that is where I draw a firm line.  I ignore a lot of the rude and inappropriate  posts on ALL sides,  often skipping over them,  but I won't ignore abusive comments/digs about a person's faith.  NO ONE has the right or authority to do that.   My correction to Eliane stands.  Her use of "NcR" is a tacky backhanded slap at a publication's website where she routinely returns to post ugly comments,  and also her slap at the other folks who come here to read and post comments.  She is also fond of labeling those with whom she disagrees as the pejorative "dissenters".  Enough already.


go Christie go .........I could not imagine Horgan representing us on the world stage . The man is an angry joke !!!! Socialism does NOT work ,when are the folks in BC going to see that and pull them selves out of the 1960s . Those so-called glory days are over ( thank goodness) !


Nobody had to go and read the source material from WikiLeaks, it was all nicely summarised in the "biased lefty MSM"! Even more damaging than the hacked and leaked emails was Comey's stunt with announcing the reopening of the investigation into Clinton's email habits - something which for a second time drew a blank. Clinton was establishing a clear lead before Comey's actions but it evaporated on that announcement.


Divide and conquer is how people such as the author of this article operate. The rich will not pay there fair share etc. Nothing more than the same old socialistic rhetoric .
 I am not rich by any means I think an income tax is unfair regardless who is forced to pay.
A state sales tax is an option and if everyone is so worried about it make exemptions then for the basics of life and not tax food, clothing, medicines.


Russia?? LOL.  They won't do a damn thing if we leveled NK.  Neither would China.  The media sure scares you dolts, don't they?


If US Corporations want to do business in Europe they will build in Europe - see Ford, GM, IBM, .....


I wish we had some better social science to develop this line of thinking.  "Lack of resonance" offers something, however.  Thanks for the engagement.


It's a rule: people want to enter a major public building through the front door, and they resent it when they're sent elsewhere. Years ago the Museum of Fine Arts in Montreal closed its main entrance and forced visitors through what looked like telephone booths tucked away to the sides into the basement. About the same time the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston closed its monumental entrance facing Huntington Avenue and sent visitors around the corner through the door of a hangar-like new addition. In both cases the error endured for about five years before common sense prevailed and the real front doors were re-opened. It will have taken ten years for the ROM to correct the Crystal mistake.


No the Native Americans and other protesters have NOT been violent.
As for any treaties, you've not clue.
And you Mr. Black, given your past history of commenting on anything Alaska Native, should not be speaking on behalf Native Americans.


As much as $1650 in Canada for 256 gig version. Good luck.


Danika; The Indians probably said the same thing when your ancestors showed up here.


Francis, God love him, is a naive man.


I believe I covered that when I typed, "It now remains to be seen what the fallout will be politically south of the border"(you may not agree). But Trump will still claim a win and will excoriate those who go against him calling them  "unpatriotic" amongst other things.


In Larry's world we respect people as individuals, not assign them to groups in order to pander to them. The liberal/progressive agenda has only hurt  black people. Some of them seem to be taking notice of that fact.


In my youth I thought I was a good shot hitting a 1 quart oil can at 100 yards with my father's Winchester 30-06 and 4X scope. There is no celebration in the death just better the enemy than one of our Canadian troops.


No prob.  :-)


So you have ample reasons not to support Wynne but will vote that way anyway?

Pathetic.


My brother in law died two years ago November.  My sister has since traveled the world, taken on a new job, moved to another town and made a new circle of friends.  Any kind of tragedy brings something to an end, but also leaves room for new things to begin.  Get out there.  Life is experience and you will want to have memories of all the things you've done when you get near the end.


It isn't just a question of values. Social justice warriors have contaminated the pool by making this THE argument. The argument can be entirely economic based on fairness to the citizens trading with regimes such as China because these values, in out countries, can only be maintained if we have fair trade. Otherwise, they will be diluted in the race to the lowest cost. These "values" actually have value to citizens of the West and of course an economic cost which, with makes competing with them in place a near, if not completely, impossible task.


That's because there is plenty of evidence in science papers on the topic.No reason to add that to an editorial.  GW is a fact.


I'm amazed no one has sued the state yet for the rut accident problem not sure if that is the case here. But i drive from Eklutna to Anchorage often its like a mad max winter scene. I can point out the spots were the ruts will whip you from one side of the road to the other and off you go into the ditch. Is silly but you actually have to switch lanes in certain areas to avoid them or try to drive on the high side creating more of a hazard. Anyone who drives this stretch knows exactly what 'I'm talking about.


Trudeau is approving pipelines because of the fundraising potential.


It takes 60 Senate votes to overcome a Presidential veto.  When did the Republicans have that many votes in the last eight years?  I must have missed that!

How do you expect to get the American Medical Association to cut their member's incomes in half so that they are paid the same as all those European physicians?

http://www.worldsalaries.org/generalphysician.shtml

How about all the other health care professionals?  They are going to take that kind of reduction and be unable to afford their homes, cars and life styles?

I think not.


I don't Mr.Levesque was overly concerned about  separation, he knew Anglos needed something to get their attention and to that end and in the special treatment he achieved for Quebecers, I think did what he set out to do.


If the organizers and participants of this inquiry were hoping for perfection in execution, they'll be sorely disappointed. Just get on with it. Visit the affected communities, let the families tell their stories, let some healing and understanding begin.


There are many issues altering climate change, just like they have been for eons. Politics didn't come into the picture until we had people declare, 'We can stop from happening'. Once again the climate is changing and all of the draconian rules, regulations, and taxes are not going to stop it.


Oh get real, Liberal hack


Wow... You're the one with reading comprehension problems. I was praising these fine people for their good works and I agree with them.Every religion has it's share of extremists. I wouldn't categorize these nice people as extremists. Atheists have extremists in their ranks too. They have historically been called communists. I didn't bring up Trump. You did but I don't think he's a very trustworthy person. I didn't vote for him and I'll be very happy when his term is over.


Weren't the developers involved in the collusion as well?


Using that logic, if banning women (or even blacks or gays) from serving as combat troops was "good enough" for the first several hundred years the United States existed, then it should be fine if we return to that status.  Dont you think?

I mean, it was only a couple of years ago that women were even granted the ability to even apply for all types of combat positions...but, since it worked out so well beforehand with them not being allowed to apply for those positions, might as well go back to that also.  Right?


Saullie: Wow, you sound incredible!


Rolf Bilet,
Obama is leaving the country in a lot better shape than your boy George W. did, and he's leaving office with a 54% approval rating.
How did your boy Bush do? (hint: it was somewhere in the 20s).

Obama has already put people back to work, illegal immigration is way down, along with crime, and thousands of new businesses have started up. I'm sure your boy Trump will try and take credit.


And the government wants to possibly open up ANWR and Pebble mine? Bad idea.


Air is trapped in glacial ice. One takes cores of this ice, and one can determine both the age of a particular core layer and the amount of carbon dioxide in that layer.

No if you claim to be a separate nation, then you do need treaties. You can not have it both ways and the treaties do not provide for any of the above. And as for what you list, most people work, pay taxes, and pay for it them selves, not asking the ROC or the settlers or colonialists as they call us to fund it.

Maybe these reserves out in the middle of no where serve no purpose and like ghost towns should be abandoned. Or live on your land with no services. And before you start screaming, my family Cree background left the reserve over 75 years ago and have never looked back.


You write snowflake, what ... 200 times a day here?  Twice in this single comment.  It's fresh and funny every single time!

What does that word mean to you?


So to those who have been abused, we all have regrets. We all think if I didn't do this or I didn't do that things would be different. The truth is no one is safe. It can happen to anyone, by anyone. No one knows what someone else is truly capable of. Supporting the victims empowers them to come forward, it gives them courage to bare their souls. This is their way of fighting back, the least we can do is support them. You cannot rehabilitate a sexual predator. They feed off the power, the humiliation of their victims. They are incapable of changing, and they will abuse and abuse until they are stopped. Sexual predators usually have multiple victims. Most sexual offenders were molested themselves, the only way to stop this vicious cycle is to lock away those who offend for life. I truly believe if we can remove sexual predators forever from society we will reduce sexual abuse by the millions. The best way to deal with sexual abuse is to prevent sexual abuse. There is no other way.


The "information" is stated in the DNC rules for office-holders:  You have to remain neutral in a presidential primary, meaning you are not supposed to endorse one candidate over another. In keeping with those rules, Tulsi stepped down in order to endorse Sanders who is a democratic socialist, not a commie as you suggest. Social Security is an example of a democratic socialist program.


Loved the Gumper, no mask and a brushcut.


Fair is fair is fair-regardless of whether one agrees with the message.
Make threats, even verbal, and it is close to that legal line.
Hands on contact and it crosses the legal line.

That is how it works. Even with Antifa and their supporters, even with BLM and their supporters and even with this man.

Pretty certain I never made mention of supporting any of the above-because I don't.


Terrific article.


Disgusting politicking by an international political nobody.


Or a market over saturation and crappy pizza.


Keep in mind that Sweden (and Denmark, Finland, Norway and Iceland) has a lower corporate tax rate than Canada does.

Germany has a slightly higher corporate tax rate (~29% vs. ~26.5% in Canada) but provides substantial tax advantages for small and medium businesses.

European countries, in general, have very high VAT rates but their income taxes, particularly at the high-end, are usually comparable or lower than those in Canada, so a business owner in one of these "high tax" countries might actually be better off, tax-wise, than they would be in Canada.

They're desperate for anything. This story is amazing for the almost complete lack of any actual information in it. It's like something you read about on snopes. There's no way for the reader to assess the credibility of it at all.


If Cathy Munoz started offering Juneau housing to those convicted of child abuse and endangerment, then she would be required to stop leasing her Juneau rental properties to legislators during the legislative sessions. And she and Juan would never go for this! The continuing "Gravy Train" is most important to these two.


Every place that you ban human drivers will become a ghetto of underachievers.


You should stop posting your inappropriate comments.  You shouldn't speak for all students from your left-wing extreme view point.


I am surprised that 25% of voters voted against a pretty technical "clean up" amendment. Is that the going rate of people just filling in the no circles without a second look?


The irony here is thick. The MSM has long been weaponized against everyday Americans but we should be worried about Faceplant and Google - cuz that's different. They don't necessarily parrot the same spiel the media does. It's plainly obvious that the media thinks their job is to not just report (some of) the news, but also to twist it, tell falsehoods, promote agendas and to tell you what to think. And they don't like the fact that they have open source competition which, was largely brought on by the fact that the media hasn't been an honest source of news.


Thanks loads. That's like watching the Titanic sink and hoping that the steerage passengers go down with the ship, while the first-class passengers - the ones who voted Wynne and are sidled up to the public trough, are leaving in the only lifeboats.


Please also share your powers of rhetorical observation when the origins are NDP or Liberal. Or maybe members and supporters of those parties operate with a higher level of integrity?


They seem to have zero capacity for enough awareness for shame, at least from what I can tell. These are the people that let the likes of Rush and Faux take a dump in their skulls on the daily. They barely seem to know what "principles" they were bleating about the day before when their thought leaders require them to flip-flop on the next day.


Your lack of a sense of humor speaks volumes mate. Grow a set.


Thank you liberals for keeping all of us who keep you safe...er....safe?  Safe from ourselves?  I'm so confused, thank goodness I can rely on the government to tell me what to do.  @Nannystate


What is false in the FOX news story?


Sounds like little has changed in Mohawk in the 42 years since I first covered the preps for the RG. Pete Cornacchia, the former RG outdoor writer, graduated from Mohawk before he parachuted into Holland in the Battle of the Bulge; his stories were often colorful - like the day he reffed a football game there during the notorious Columbus Day storm, and they had to call it as fir trees flew sideways in the gale winds. Wonder if that oak was there that day. The first photo award-winning photographer Brian Lanker took for the RG was of basketball players looking up from the foul line in the little Mohawk gym with the school stage behind them. They played 8-man Class B football in the afternoon, and I enjoyed walking the sidelines and covering them, often before the late AAA game at Autzen. Loggers, parents, alums walked the sidelines too with tales of their days on the field. Small town community, connection, history - something I didn't experience growing up in the Bay Area. Thank you.


to Guantanamo!


I was with you until the last sentence.  Modern healthcare will suffer if all workers are forced to comply with state sanctioned mandates regarding treatment.


We absolutely do not have it now.
The diplomatic skills of trump are equivalent to those of a spoiled bratty three year old.


If parents want to know something about their children, they should ask them.  Teachers should not be speculating on a child's sexual orientation and telling the parents.  It should be illegal to do so.  Vulnerable children should be protected, not nosy parents.


Given the outlandish nature, "pc zealots" for example, of numerous reactionary comments here, the concept of rational debate is lost on many people.


Sounds like a dedicated teacher, making sure the tournament plans were carried out after this horrible attack. Wish him all the luck in the world with his recovery.


Come on Jade, even though the msm has a familiar past with relating Trump and Hitler.....that is the Hitler agenda. It has been known for quite some time that violent Illegals are the priority.  The key word everyone seems to be ignoring is discretion.


Trump is right in protecting America.


Are you honestly claiming that there have never been "terrorist" attacks by non-Muslims?  If so, you need to get out of your trailer park a bit more and see what happens in the rest of the world every day.


To be clear, I don't condone rioting by anyone.

National Socialism gave the world Auschwitz, Dachau, 45,400 Canadian died to rid the world of the scourge of National Socialism.  This is not a philosophy or political movement that deserves or merits any space in our society.  It wasn't necessary to exempt it in the past because it was so self evidently insane and wrong to our forebearers, but as the memory of WWII fades from living memory, we must consider taking other measures in law to prevent the spread of this evil.


From today's Globe:
Muslim extremists abducted a Catholic priest and more than a dozen churchgoers while laying siege to a southern Philippine city overnight, burning buildings, ambushing soldiers and hoisting flags of the Islamic State group, officials said Wednesday.

Clearly, there is a problem with islam extremism and the world needs to come to its senses. Ibbitson is out of touch.

U.S. Code › Title 18 › Part I › Chapter 37 § 793 - Gathering, transmitting or losing defense information

(f) Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, note, or information, relating to the national defense, (1) through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, or (2) having knowledge that the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of its trust, or lost, or stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer—
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.


You're actually bashing people for not blindly believing unsubstantiated accusations.


here's the thing...he is a mere complimentary player, and since the injury is not a go to guy anymore...also, it's all talk until you sign and stay...
he can go somewhere else and we will be fine...draft a SF wing, sign a marquee name, one bench player...
Hernangomez is more than a replacement for Gallo, keep Chandler; make Barton the 6th man off the bench...start Murray, Harris, Chandler, Jockic, and Faried; bring Hernangomes, Plumlee and Beasley and Barton off the bench. Trade Mudiay, Arthur.  let Nelson go
sign two draft picks
sign tow free agents

Now, if we get  a marquee name, instant starter, and one strong bench presence...
FOr instance, sign Westbrook, play three guard sets... even subbing that way
if sign Andre Robertson, three wing set and two post players
If sign Heyward, then three wings and one PF, one pivot player (Jockic)

that's my take
hope it works


The next thing Canadian/American and other western governments need to get right is their inexcusable support of Israels occupation of Palestine. Like Ibbistson says... doing the right thing regardless of its effect on your supporters is the thing to do.


'A vibrant policy debate, in both official languages, free of the demagogues, charlatans, and the unserious, is a good place to start.'

So, there will not be another debate then.


Yes, roughly. Let's take your comment as an example. In the context of this discussion, I would call it a good comment. However, if I were asked to vote on it, minus the context, it would be impossible to know if "9 out of 10 of them?" was actually a good comment or not. So I'd have voted it "sorta".


As well, the interesting trips and living in tonier areas often mean meeting and mingling with people who end up becoming great business or networking contacts and lifelong friends who are go-getters and positive influences and mentors for your kids.  I've met amazing people that have really enhanced my life by making choices that my more frugal friends wouldn't and ended up better off both financially and socially because of it.


hey loser,, until PAL recognises israel right to exist, NO we dont and should not ,, israel was ATTACKED,, they won, too bad..price of starting wars


Ah yes, those eeeeeeeeevil humans.  Get rid of 'em all.  They're a plague on the earth.  And of course you're going to lead by example and take yourself out.  The world will be a better place.  So will these comments sections.


If the  family that controls this company wants to , and has to, sell its trains planes etc. in this manner I have no problem with it, right up to the point of
- if they break the law ,charge 'em   - just like anyone else
- i bet there is more than one Canadian taxpayer that resents their tax dollars supporting the family that controls  and benefits from this enterprise


hell hath frozen over, I agree with DD, this is dumb.
didn't see that coming!


Trump cannot do anything but get in the way - whether it is legislation, immigration policy, climate change disasters, anything.  If he was an honest man he would simply weigh up the pros and cons and realize that he only adds nuisance to anything he touches.  So, he should gratiously retire.  But, sadly for America, that won't happen.


No, it most certainly is not. From your posts, it is obvious that you believe "Church" is synonymous with "Magisterium". I do not.


Good riddance to a less than honest individual.


So that is your defence of Trudeau who was suppose to be different, is that the other guy did it too. That is pathetic, try actually defending Trudeau's lies.


Should be a bunch of unused tickets this weekend, driving prices down of the scalpers since demand is down.  Think I'll head over and see about getting into the Raiders' game cheap.


So if the resolution fails will the other three be required to step down? It seems to me that one side is running against the other. Does homer also have the "great again"clause that protects them from  democracy.


Why are comments closed on the terrorism in London story?
Is the Globe afraid readers might disapprove?


The rule that "If you draw blood on an animal, that fills your tag is an extremely good one. It discourages people from taking those long shots or shots at fast moving critters or shots that are less than certain to be quickly lethal. That greatly reduces wounded critters and keeps unpracticed nimrods from sticking arrows in four or five moose, caribou, deer, elk or bears before they finally finish one off. It should be universal as it is in Africa.


Never have the American people been forced into making such an odious choice between the (slightly) lesser of two weasels.


Might just as well turn it all to bubble.


I recall reading Baum's "Man Becoming" many years after he'd published it and thinking that, finally, I had found someone for whom the starting point of theology was reality, not concepts. While the Transcendental Thomists were fretting about "the question about the question," Baum began with what exists and reasoned his way forward.
I thought it was only a matter of time before someone did the same for theology and science -- that is, begin, not with revelation, but with the fact that, whatever else we are, we're creatures of this planet, formed from the stardust that brought the cosmos into existence. Our bodies, our minds, have evolved from the decay of countless other beings, taking one shape now, another then, until our DNA took its present form. God-talk gives us, not certainty, but perspective: a vantage point from which to see our world and ourselves as part of a process both limited and transcendent. Religious language tells us we're becoming something new and Godlike, if....


You have just described 90% of congressional Republicans. America needs a conservative party...."Republican Does Not Mean Conservative"....it means status quo....always has...!


Another way of deflecting current failures by this administration.


If Trump brings a gun to a knife fight he'll just shoot himself in his foot with it.

Trump cultists say you should take him seriously but not literally. But really you take him neither way.

"Raising taxes on the middle class and small businesses"? Actually, no.
But whatever, right?


I would not buy any cake from him in any case.


What about Ohio Dan?
Or have you just given up on him?


I knew Mark and his wife and until I hear or see the proof I refuse to believe this was suicide.


Just a question - - what should the US be doing, policy-wise, or reality-wise? Just allow everyone who wants to come here, just show up?


Why is it civil to refer to the "Democrat" party while a reference to the "Republic" party does not meet civility standards?


If you can go back to the first offensive series, and I believe it might have been the last or second last play of that series before kicking the field goal, they tried to run to the left, and Jano ran right by a guy who made the penetration and tackle without even throwing an elbow out.  Jano was looking second level before the first was cleared.


The financial  advantages to doctors of working together in a corporate partnership structure are minimal.
They will simply dissolve the partnership structure and work as a group under another agreement, and retain the small business deduction


Just so long as they avoid Innsmouth and Kingsport when they travel...


Both have a minority as neither has over 50%. As for what should or should not be. We follow the law if you don't like it work to change it. What those of us in rural areas think is unfair is to have laws forced on us by big city voters that severely impact our way of life. Such as strict gun control.


Nobody's talking about Hillary anymore because this is so much bigger than Democrats losing the White House. This is about how Republicans aren't really for America, really hate average Americans, want to take away their ability to receive medical care, and are willing to collaborate with foreign governments--self-described enemies of the United States--in order to further their violent agenda.


The most fair is a weight-mile tax.  Pounds per mile traveled.   That is how roads are worn out.  The advent of electric vehicles negated the fuel tax.  Take the fuel tax off,  in its entirety.  You get the money back for roads in a weight mile tax.  You file your tax on the date of your birth,  each year.  You have a lottery compliance system,  where 10% of vehicles,  by license plate #,  are verified with a triple fine for false information,  and jail time for fraudulent returns.  Big fines.  A financial wound for avoidance.  And driver license loss for a year  for private individual or business license for a year for commercial.

A yearly license for bicycles of at least $100.  If my 5x10 utility trailer,  parked 99.9% of the time,  has an $86 license,  bikes must be double that,  at the least.

As far as trains to haul straw to Seattle/Tacoma,  that is purely a result of the mishandling of container dock,  Terminal 6,  by the Governor appointed Port Commission,  Director.


Tell me, in that 18 years your example was in America why didn't they go through the process of legalizing their residency?


Who wants to bet the legis doesn't balance the budget this sesh? I'm giving 10:1 odds here folks, place your bets now!


And yet Trudeau and Morneau (who are both filthy rich) will only pay taxes on 50% of their salaries and 0 on their perks and benefits. Next time you hear Trudeau talk about fairness, remember this.


You sound like very much a junior

Can you please explain in what way you believe Denver's ordinance is "unconstitutional and against the law?" What law did they "take out of the feds' hands?"

I understand illegal completely, I don't think you do. It's not Denver's job to chase down illegal aliens. I think that's where your error lies.


"None of these e-mails should have been on any kind of unclassified system, but their presence is especially concerning because all of these e-mails were housed on unclassified personal servers not even supported by full-time security staff, like those found at Departments and Agencies of the U.S. Government—or even with a commercial service like Gmail."  Comey


Well, the thrust of my original post was that majority of voters in both rural and urban areas in Alaska acted against their own economic interest by electing Trump.  Looks like only the urban voters did so.  Trump did not run on platform of deficit reduction, so my guess is that only a portion of the Trump voters actually support reigning in federal spending through massive cuts to the biggest drivers of the deficit--social security, medicare, and defense.  That's more of a neoconservative thing, well except for cuts to defense.


yes...and


Just cause the rotten hab organization can't get it done yet keep squeezing their gullible fans, don't blame Columbus for being more successful.


Bernie lost the primaries to Hillary.  Too bad on that one.

The Globe can choose whether to allow itself to be distracted by Trump's provocations, or to spend the resources necessary to discover what's actually going on.  Alternative facts can be ignored if you do your homework and discover actual facts.


Like other internet enterprises... nobody is able to figure out how to tax it.


Does the behaviour of Trump and his entourage pass the smell test?
What is Trump trying to hide!


Amazing column.  Sarah Kendzior tells it like it is.


With WaPo cranking a crisis out every 12 hours or so, their creative writers must be exhausted.
Besides, Jared's primary function is passing Bibi's instructions on to Trump.


Yes, I'm getting further away from the Fake News "reality", and that's not a bad thing.

The reason they did that is so he can't immediately comment on it and the Trump team will be delayed in commenting on it.   That way the story can spread before its revealed to be misleading.


Spot on, Ms. McGrath.
Jon Bushnell is a true believer. "Hillary Clinton!" It was Trump, jr's "civic duty" to attend a meeting with Russians to hear dirt on Trump's opponent? That's too funny. People in both the Trump and Clinton campaigns probably had American citizens calling or e-mailing or walking in with alleged dirt on the opponent. The American marketplace has brought forth an entire (profitable) business sector devoted to opposition research (better known as "digging up dirt"). But, once again, a Trump family member outsourced the project to a foreign operation.
I think the Russians went fishing -- and Trump, jr. took the bait, the line, the reel, and the rod.
On the other hand, Ms. Herbst, Trump jr, hasn't admitted to undermining our electoral process. He admitted to wanting to gather dirt from Russians. Now, a lot of seasoned Clinton detractors would have been suspicious of what the Russians wanted, but Trump, jr. sauntered right in.


Drive slower, stop sooner, and don't tailgate other cars. You'll be fine.


FYI Dumping on religions and being racist are two very separate things.
Race or Ethnicity is NOT a choice, religion and faith is!

Don't stoop to conflating anti-theism with racism, as the M103 supporters would have you believe. Being Anti-Islam or Anti-insert relrigion here is NOT racism. Islam and other religions are NOT races.


Who do think it is that has published that the largest oil reserves on Earth are in the oil sands, bitumen carbonates, and tight and shale oil formations of Alberta - not even taking into account the resources in Saskabush, BC, NWT, Mckenzie Delta, Beaufort Sea, and Arctic Islands?
The problem is excess GHG emissions limits, and lack of investment due to low oil prices that will continue as long as U.S. shale oil production continues unrestrained.

Love that syryp!


True, but hybrids are remarkable in Alaska. Like the chevy volt. And even those 1.4L sonics are reproducing at exponential numbers in alaska lol. I'm curious to see alaska oil consumption rates per year over the past 50yrs. See what kind of trend we're looking at here on those terms.


Kamehameha was a terrorist. He led the first "armed invasion and overthrow" of the islands, conquering them and uniting them by force! Look at how many innocent Oahu natives he drove off the Pali lookout, because they didn't want to submit to his terroristic "uniting" of the Islands!
Look it up.....


Clearly you guys are living in the 1930s paradigm.  Fast-forward to the 21st century.  The far-left is now the fascists.  The far-right is far more libertarian.  Know the definitions and take off the blinders and you will see the light.


Indeed.

The second amendment is a long obsolete prescription for arming and training the late-1700s citizen army of a weak collection of agrarian states.  It has no relevance in today's vastly larger and more powerful urban society with its professional military.


When your only abilities are being rude, crude and lewd then it is time to go and fade into the sunset.  Kathy you were mildly entertaining in your so called hey day but now you are just a dried up old biddy who relies on filth, disrespect and put downs.  Good time to put the old rubbish out on the curb so it is properly disposed of!


I have to take my hat off to Albertans for their relentless advocacy on behalf of their province and its economy. In Ontario 400,000 manufacturing jobs have left the country under FREE TRADE and Ontario MPs seem intent on doing absolutely nothing about it.


It seems that RD would rather that the poor not be helped, rather than have the government help them.


Many people i know in Ontario are non-Catholics but send their kids to Catholic schools because it is a improvement to overcrowded public schools, better kids, better morals being taught, etc. In essence, a discounted private school! Not sure, if this is a good use of taxpayer dollars or what the Fathers of Confederation intended.


The Libs and the economists all argue for more immigration however I have questions. How  will more immigration solve the following: High youth unemployment? High under employed?  Outdated infrastructure? Outdated education system? Unfair and high tax burden on the middle class? Increasing wealth gap btw rich and poor? Lack of government vision and the funds?  European countries had massive increases in immigration resulting in more social disorder, "ghetto districts" and more of the same problems as before.  Higher immigration is not the solution.


It's curious that Statoil drilled 9 wells in 2015\6 (19 months) and had 2 discoveries... now the budget is down to 2 wells??? CBC reported it'd take 15 years to develop especially since "The big difference with the Flemish Pass is water depth of more than 1,000 metres, as opposed to 100 to 150 metres in the Jeanne d'Arc Basin."  I'm hoping Athabasca Oilsands can make hay... on 24,000 bpd with rising oil prices...   But Statoil suddenly becomes  ATH-oilsands largest shareholder @ 100M shares (20% ownership)?   In 2016, Sept... "Suncor Energy Inc., a joint-venture partner on the exploration well with Shell, said it will write off costs tied to the project. Suncor holds a 20-per-cent stake in the project and said it would write off its share of the costs in the third quarter, about $105-million after tax."  It sounds expensive if 1 well costs $105M???  How much did Statoil pay to drill 9 wells in 2015-16???  Suncor/Shell is on to drilling its 2nd well (Shelburne Basin) Thx.


4 PM is when trump exposed himself to be a p-grabber.
and a great consumer of tic-tacs.


And Trudeau is even less qualified as PM.....so?


We are back to "voodoo economics".

Great fun as long as you are ready to suffer the hangover when the party is over.


It really strains credulity for me that you focus on breastfeeding for, what? 12 - 14 months? as an indicator of your global statement that woman parenting is completely different from man parenting. (By the way, he probably doesn't really notice the objective difference once he's no longer hungry.)  It seems to me that you are simply insisting it be a certain way. As are most people in your camp. Has nothing to do with how real people actually parent or what each individual person is capable of giving his or her child.


About time Wente was put out to pasture, except that she's allergc to her rural digs! What qualifications does Wente have to write a piece on this subject other than to promulgate the required Globe anti-Liberal and pro-Conservative agenda? Professor Leach's article contains logic and a coherent story behind TCPL's decision not to proceed with Energy East. Even the New Brunswick Premier, who had as much to gain from this pipeline as did the producers in Alberta, says that it was market forces that caused the demise of EE, not evil machinations in Ottawa. Incidentally, what Trudeau has said is that he supports oil development as long as environmental concerns are dealt with - he's also getting abuse for approving the Trans Mountain expansion so how does that jive with Wente's contrived nonsense!


right.  Like I said, not enough people who disagree w/ the aberrant behavior masquerading as mainstream "norms" are allowed to be heeded.  1997 ballot w/ marriage definition; 70+ % voted male/female, yet Cayetano still instituted civil unions.  When Abercrombie got in, he knew it wouldn't pass on the ballot so he rammed it through.  Not enough pushback.  Unless you count his one term as pushback.  Show of hands, who here thinks the male teachers in a school can go into the little girls room because it was "mandated" by on-high?  Didn't think so.  How does DLNR have "law enforcement" powers over a sandbar that is almost always UNDER WATER?  The L stands for land.  Maybe its just me.  And does DLNR have "law" making  powers?  Don't think so.  Implementing legislation?  Is that how the mayor of New York made 16 oz. drinks "illegal"?  Gov't by fiat...but not enough people to stand up as long as needed to say STOP.  Anyway, Mrs DeVos will be great in the job.


***Supreme Court has overturned this ridiculous ruling, and Dean Westlake is the winner.***


NCR editor - someone needs to stop allowing folks such as utilitas to post completely *FALSE INFORMATION* - to let his remark stand is offensive and highlights what is wrong with today's debate.  It glorifies an ideology rather than face facts.
PPACA is NOT a disaster - every fact checker has proven that.  The election was not decided because of the PPACA.
https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-obamacare-marketplaces-arent-in-a-death-spiral/
Key refutation:
The Obamacare marketplaces are not in a death spiral, according to various health policy experts, despite numerous Republicans’ claims to the contrary. In fact, the term, at least under its pre-Obamacare definition, is largely obsolete. That’s because the ACA fundamentally changed how the markets are organized.


Your comment it superlative.


I miss All In The Family. That was a show that mad you laugh and think about race.


'Clinics' will write prescriptions for a few hundred dollars and no medical exam...they are illegal and yet persist. A few are caught as part of Medicare fraud but there seems to be no lack...and yes well documented. One issue is the question of who should regulate the over prescription? Another is the overuse of the most extreme pain drugs for conditions that don't require the drug. Another is the lack of funding for OT and PT that can reduce pain over the long term. Finally, how do we assure that those patients with multi-year conditions, who have cancer pain, can access these drugs from legitimate docs. One county in West Virginia was on the news a month or so ago and they had some huge number of prescriptions per resident, 100's. But the state is lax...why? Because these requires regulations, diligence and someone who actually cases, I was going to say 'gives a s*@t' but figured that's harsh. So who is in charge? Who donates to their campaigns?
Little d's budget cuts enforcement


Real simple and very stunning. A 3-to-1 edge in potential voters -- assuming women, people of color and those under 35 are paying attention and capable of thinking for themselves when presented with a Yosemite Sam for president -- should be enough to beat back any scourge when all it takes is that 80 percent of success known as showing up. They didn't. Couldn't be bothered. Your people. How embarrassing. Your screed, while windy, predictable and borderline entertaining, means nothing. Occam's razor applies. Clinton blew it. Count the ways.

Me? I'm independent. Voted for Obama once but not twice, mostly because celebrity-in-chief wasn't supposed to be the job title. This time, I left it blank. A pox on both parties' houses. Of course, you're free to believe as you wish, He Who Confuses Assumptions with Facts.

By the way, I already have a dog, so please stop trying to hand me your leash.


The primary creator of poverty in South Africa is the government. http://www.politicsweb.co.za/opinion/behind-our-economic-decline.

Mark Shuttleworth has done a lot for South Africa. Bill Gates & Warren Buffet are voluntarily spending their billions on philanthropic and charitable projects.

To imagine that politicians and government bureaucrats are in any  way really interested in eradicating poverty is absurd. They also skew things in their favour.


Yes. You bring up an interesting point. Why aren't the native corporations paying to upgrade the villages? Hmmm.


trump is beholden to NO ONE, except himself.
his idea of draining the swamp is to fill it with his own brand of swamp dwellers.
You should stop pretending he isn't racist, isn't ignorant, isn't a bigot or a misogynist because he is all those things regardless of what the alt-right is telling you.
We need someone who thinks before he speaks, but then knows how to speak, knows how to lead, knows how to put country first, and knows how to take a stand against hatred and racism by calling out his supporters who promote both. The list of qualities is endless; he just does not have what is necessary to lead this country and unite its people making America the nation it should be, not what the red hat infers.


"It's OK, we forgive you." This assumes we made an error. Therein lies the bone of contention and condescension. In voting for President Trump, I aided in doing two things I wanted done: Keep Clinton out of the White House and put an originalist in Justice Scalia's seat on the United States Supreme Court. For that I do not need or want forgiveness.
As to the rest of President Trump's agenda, I'm not sure. Time will tell how we fare through these dark times. That they are dark times is one point on which we agree.
In the matter of psych-evaling you, as I've stated, I'm not qualified but I do have my suspicions.
Pedantic? Yes, I have that talent.


And you really want Hanabusa?  I take Ige over the colrrupt race baiter Hanabusa any day.

What a nut job!  He and trump should get along great.  Or maybe a menage a trois, along with putin.


Hi, there, ladies (Please, don't take offense.  I mean it respectfully, in the traditional "ladies and gentlemen" sense.)

You have a very valid point. An outside team is necessary for transparency.  No question.  The Philly method has its validity, too.  Especially if the investigating team is gender-neutral, composed of men and women.

But THIS statement has no validity: "Internal review allows police departments to characterize the problem as simply one of data mismanagement. They re-classify cases previously in the “unfounded” box to “insufficient evidence to proceed.”
That's not "mismanagement." It's clarity. To scoff and sneer "mismanagement" means you don't understand--or want to acknowledge--that clarity. It's clear they aren't "blaming the victim," either.  Three cheers, I say.

"While the new label might alleviate distress for women who report rape..."
Nonsense.  I doubt that "insufficient evidence" will alleviate ANY woman's distress.  Would it alleviate yours?


Latin America?  Why would anyone go to war with Latin America?


You are a sucker.  Just can't admit that the ACA is seriously flawed can you?


Just to let you know the Canadian 1% make a third of what are US counterparts make.

This is the group that pays a disproportionate share of income taxes. Now its gong to fall on or middle class.

The money is not there folks for all our social programs.


we're gonna need an awful big gallows.

But neither Trans Mountain nor energy east are about stopping Canada's (central and eastern) import of oil.  These pipelines are all about export - of product and of jobs.

If Energy East HAD been about Canadians exploiting, refining and using our own oil in our own country, it would have been a popular project.  Largely though, the energy independence argument was used as propaganda and not reality - something like the Levant line of "ethical oil".  We're better stuff.

"Our" oil companies in Alberta are not even largely owned by Canadians but by Americans and off shore industries that set up head offices wherever they find it most convenient to avoid taxes.


No excuses, all season tires specifically snow and mud rated perform as well in most conditions. Snow tires are better in deep snow. People need to drive better.


I have 3 colleagues, middle-age, master-degreed librarians, brainy in nearly every way but money. All three had parents who managed money badly. I naively thought everyone's parents were like mine, careful savers and planners. Nope.


Trump's already created such a mess that it will take 10 years to clean up. That's assuming, of course, that he stop now.


''one of my family members almost died due to inability to afford to get the medical attention for cancer due to the escalating price and cost of ObamaCare''.
that's terrible! what's even worse is that far more are dying as cons strip away the benefits we over all enjoyed with Ocare which assisted the vast majority of Americans, many of whom had nothing prior to the ACA and will be rejoining the care-less multitudes if trumpublicans keep getting their way. giving States their choice is just another way cons deny healthcare and other basic needs to the masses, which is why it has to be forced on those who have agendas against us.


what a useless article


As an animal rights activist who works in a long term care home with seniors, I think they both deserve protection.


As of this time, the deal has failed. What do you want to predict for 2 weeks away now, onlooker? Trump will be made emperor?


My prayers and thoughts are with the trailer. I hope for a speedy recovery. At least it didn't get stabbed in the sink.


Yes, bringing in the Mooch drained the swamp. Priebus (sp) did a great job, but he leaked. Did you not notice the crowd went wild in their acceptance and prove of our POTUS. And Tweets ARE new age Presidential.  It got his voice heard over the cacophony of the Lame Stream.  John "swamp thang Mc Cain dropped the ball and showed his colors.  I was shocked. And finally, don't worry,things are gonna get better because of Trump despite the Democraps "resistance".


And yet, Burundi is not on the "list."  Apparently, they misunderstand the process.  If they think they can simply walk into a police station and claim asylum, they are in for a big surprise.  And, if they are under 18, I suspect their parents will have to become involved.


Last Wednesday, the Anti-Trump Faction dropped the hammer.  There's no question the Anti-Trump Faction is doing everything they can to incite an armed conflict.


I don't think anyone is arguing the decision is outside Trump's authority, just that it's a bad decision.  The Constitutional argument is a smoke screen so the proponents don't have to address it on its merits.


People in error do.


Football coaches and CEOs have similar roles in their respective industries, although football coaches take a much bigger chunk of revenue. CEOs have been increasingly moving toward performance compensation. Perhaps football coaches should also have a low base and increasing bonuses for each win.


Some satellites are powered by small nuclear reactors, some by enormous solar panels. As far as good reception from space the dishes used to receive satellite transmissions are power by being connected to the local power grid by copper wires.. The question still remains. How do you think we are delivering energy through the air?


I would  be wearing "All Lives Matter"  Period.


It won't be long before we see an op-ed (opportunist editorial) defending the young Janus (he of two faces) from the shocking suggestion of hypocrisy. As with climate change, indigenous rights, electoral reform and feminism (hello Ivanka), the guy gets away with this stuff just because he can.


Walker's statement is right on. You cant give away money and have government services at the same time. The PFD was cut, not eliminated.


How about new digs on a barge five miles out with a week's supply of food and water, and no lobbyists?


the only scenario that makes any kind of conventional sense is that he actually contracted and paid the Russians to hack the DNC and then release the most damaging  content to Wikileaks.  that would pretty much explain everything we have seen so far and also explain why they are so desperate to keep it secret.


They need to use them to protect both themselves as well as citizens.

In te former case, wll save a lot of tax dollars paid out to avoid the costs of a trial, even tough it is unfounded.

In the latters case, it will stop abuse and worse by some-not most, but absolutely some.


I think this is due to technical analysis rather than for fundamental reasons. BBRY is below the RSI 30 line and for that reason is considered 'oversold'.


Every SECOND that passes without criminal prosecution means the chance of conviction reduces as does South Africa's chance of recovering its financial losses.  What to do?


Billy Ray Powers:  Have you ever asked yourself why victims of crime (including theft) never sue the perps to recover their losses?  The answer is actually simple,  You can't get blood out of a rock!  Restitution sounds great on paper but is certainly NOT the answer, for the same reason.  Court ordered restitution still must be collected and most criminals don't have decent jobs in the first place.  And more importantly, no court can order restitution greater than actual damages.  Your idea of punishing offenders by ordering 10 times damages is simply not even legal to do.


Campaigns are how candidates introduce themselves and their ideas to the electorate.   Any attempts to limit how much a person chooses to donate is a violation of that donors free speech rights.  A person has a right to make a movie, write a book, advocate, volunteer or donate to any cause or person they so choose.  Laws that limit free speech violate the constitution and have resulted in the criminalization of political activity.  The Supreme court is about to rule that these laws are vague and too easily abused by the Justice Department and the administration to silence opposing views.


The only thing Trump's ban has in common with any Obama policy is the seven countries selected. Specifically no Obama policy ever had a religious test that gave preferential treatment to Christians. It never ceases to amaze me how many people fail to understand the different ramifications between US being seen by the world as at war with a limited number of non-state international criminals who practice Islam and  being in a religious crusade against all of Islam. All 1.6 billion of them. ISIS is pushing the crusade narrative. Trump's ham handed policy makes him the ISIS recruitment poster boy of the month.


Just to demonstrate how poorly thought out your comment is Banquo the Traverse takes home Kelley Blue Book's top honors among full-size SUVs that retain their value. That alone negates your comment about losing it's value. In the future try and at least perform some due diligence.


Yes it is and in Canada a woman can abort anytime right up to delivery date.  SAD......


But how many places do that. Most just get a transmission flush which replaces the old with the new and nobody open up the transmission,


The great unknown ishow to forecast what you can expect for returns on your investments.


1. Not sure of the need for the word "fear"; unless you are American, I suppose. Not that I am anti-American (I'm not), but sometimes a country or a group needs to hit the bottom and start over in order to rejuvenate itself. Such a situation might be best for America, in the long run -- sounds harsh, but ..... ; and
2. See the "TBD" skit from SNL last night.


It's enough to drive you to hari kari.


I didn't see anywhere in the article where Mr. Bowman made any claims of being a model citizen.

But then, you would have to have read the article to know that.


You seem so sure, so apparently you have information the jury did not. Care to share?


Do they have dentists in your town?


Is this what William really meant to say?  "Since when did Republicans (and democrats) decide party and money supersede doing their job of upholding the Constitution and representing all their constituency, not just special interests?"

If so, it would be far more accurate.


Good post, D.C.


The conditions of WW1 were so horrific that it is a wonder that they were not all rendered "insane". Vietnam was also difficult as it was the first occasion of regular troops fighting guerrillas who weren't bound by the same rules of war.

WW11 was not much esker, but again, the returning soldiers were treated as heroes and offered education, housing and so on. As well, there were a lot more of them and there is psychological strength in having many comrades with whom to talk.

I have never personally seen any writings comparing the actual rates of what we now call PTSD in soldiers returning from the various wars. I doubt that numbers were actually kept in the past. We will likely never know.

As for your first paragraph, I live in Quebec and therefore never hear a peep about vets here. Thanks for the view in the rest of the country.


Bryant Paul you are correct. There are more important issues in Hawaii which need to be addressed.  I question Chin's competence. He should know that Elshikh has no standing because his complaint is supposition. His mother-in-law has not been denied.  Since when can you sue on what may happen?  If Chin's office has money to spend on this suit, then i know where we can make up some of the 250 million dollar shortfall in the State budget.Democrats are very good at spending other people's money


democrats have to learn how to play hardball and forget about the past, i.e. Hillary, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schummer are all past their do date. Time to get some street fighters like Elliot Spitzer and start playing hardball. Fight gerrymandering, vote suppresssion ,etc, and start touring the country. The GOP have their infighting with Drump and it should be an easy win in the mid terms but they need new blood and a new message.


In the "don't like it, don't get one" category. To Daisy Hill - get a cover up and rediscover the delight that you first felt. Im going next year for more art. Don't have much and what I do have is not publicly visible (my choice). What I do have makes me happy.


"militants"


You are talking about the tax increases that Bill and the democrats passed out of congress without a single republican vote, talk about being partisan, in 1993. Just to refresh your memory, there was an election in 1994, and the republicans took the democrats completely by surprise by winning huge and taking control of the house for the first time in over 40 years. After Jan. 1995, the republicans were in control and had Bill dancing to their music most of the time. He did manage once to deflect responsibility for a government shutdown to the republicans but only that one time. it was the republicans cutting spending that created the surpluses, not the tax increases. It was also republicans in control of the house that created a great business climate and the economy rebounded and did very well starting from about 1997. Facts are such a pain for you, aren't they muck?


maybe RD could give classes on how to make those?  I bet he knows how.   maybe he could get his last badge before getting his Eagle Scout?


etcm; I will agree with you that a thermonuclear detonation is a bad thing, once the Guvnor of our fair state decided he knew best about fishery mgt and tried to take over BB openings. Courts shut him down within 24 hrs, but special interests have political power. Look at the bycatch in the drag fisheries, think reason can change that? Go for it. Not sure about drug users, but yes there are places north of BB that only have one buyer and if he doesn't show they don't have a fishery. China has done quite a bit of regulating the people population.
The understanding I have on the Pebble prospect is that it is the headwaters of productive salmon streams and normally stuff like Arsenic is used to extract metals from ore than apparently precipitated out and leaves behind a toxic fluid that would impact salmon survival for years, in a negative way.
Because of the fish and wildlife resources in BB people have and are able to survive regardless of the presence or absence of dividends.


Hey that's good news way to go Denver


I hope we can all appreciate what having a man of the caliber of John Elway has meant and will continue to mean to the City of Denver, the State of Colorado and, indeed, to all of Bronco Nation around the world. This man has the best intentions of the Broncos in mind, 20 years after he stopped playing the game. We are so lucky to have him.


Don't go! There are no Malaria carrying Mosquitos in Canada.
Just a lot of Public Sector Parasites but at least there are Homegrown.

Only Volunteers should be sent on Peacekeeping Missions.
Shouldn't they have a Choice?

They Volunteered to Protect Canada not support the Ego's and Fantasies of Politicians!


> Britain has seen a surge in xenophobia expressed in threats, taunts and attacks after British voters chose to leave the European Union.

Another shameless attempt by the media to blame pro-Brexit voters for the ills of the country.  And if this "surge in xenophobia" is anything like what is happening on this side of the pond, these are hoaxes until proven otherwise.  One attack does not a trend make.


Or ask the other person.


From the article:  Officials say the borough proposed plenty of action over the years, such as new erosion control districts or buyouts. Many property owners chose not to participate.

You had your chance, people.  You snooze, you lose.  Bye, Felicia!


IMO Jefferson's Wall of Separation means that government representatives should make no endorsement or expression of their religion from their public office.

That means everyone right up to Obama has been completely offside on this issue, and they need to stop.   Their offices are secular offices and they should speak and act accordingly.  Their religious practices are to be done on their own time.


Ugh.  Where do people come up with this crazy idea??

Elway is all about WINNING.  There were people that were SOOOO convinced that Paxton would start this season because Elway drafted him in the 1st round and his "ego" wouldn't allow him to do anything else.

They were wrong then too.

Guess what?... NO NFL TEAM is perfect in the draft.  They ALL have hits and misses, every year.


First off the TSX index is a leading indicator.  Generally the performance of the market is tied to what The Street thinks 6 months forward.  Today’s news was baked into the market weeks ago.

But even if you just consider current news consider these points, NAFTA talks aren’t going well and neither are the softwood lumber negotiations.  The Can$ has been weak over the last month as well.

If you look at the combined results of the current earnings season, they are mixed to negative.

https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/investment-ideas/research-reports/tsx-earnings-scorecard-how-third-quarter-results-have-fared-so-far/article36824699/

Yes, the price of oil is a positive but it needs to hold or get better going into next year before we see positives on the market.

As for me, I’m buying today on sectors that have been beaten down as of late. (Yes, not everything is up)

I hope you don’t base your investment decisions on today’s news. You need a long term outlook.


The Zuptas are "de-colonisers" of note.  In particular they view the rule of law and the constitution as colonial constructs that should be ignored, defiled and ultimately destroyed. They are following the National Democratic Revolution strategy and tactics to a "T".  They want a SACPanc cadre and/or mandarin's hand on every "lever of power".  They have now captured the Public Protectors office.


Ausexpat, it was INTERVENTION FROM GOVERNMENT that got house prices so high in Vancouver.

Houses in the Vancouver region were selling for 3 to 5 times the average annual income for a hundred years, right up until GOVERNMENT decided to implement massive investor immigrant programs. That was what got house prices so high, that was what opened the gates to a flood of overseas money.

Government policy made this mess.


The Queen is busy dealing with her tax avoidance scandal.  Time to cut ties.


Trump is an idiot.


Amber Gold. Tusk is facing some tough questions over this financial scandal and why he made sure the scam involving his own son didn't get investigated. This is a world exclusive story outside of Poland - someone please wake up!!


Gary: "OK, everyone, I was confused about Thanksgiving so no meet up Nov. 24th. How about a month later on December 24th? Everyone free?" :-)


Unfortunately Ambassador -  Canada will likely be throwing Mexico under the Agent Orange bus  in order to consolidate a lasting economic and prosperous relationship with the USA.  If NAFTA is revised it will be to ensure that the USA can strike a better deal with both our  countries.

But deep down you know that Orange Crush really only has a problem with Mexico not us.

 The world may be well moving to improved bilateral trade deals where trust is maximized and away from multilateral trade arrangements that are too easily exploited eg dumping, IP violations, currency wars etc.

That is where we have an advantage. Canada and the USA work together in some many different ways that the USA and Mexico do not- through border security, through NORAD, through NATO and through immigration and trade.

"honest Trump administration" = contradiction in terms


Dissident?

"At the Second Vatican Council (1962–65) Wojtyła so distinguished himself that halfway through the council, in December 1963, Pope Paul VI named him archbishop of Kraków." (britannica.com)

"We consider our primary duty to be that of promoting, with prudent but encouraging action, the most exact fulfilment of the norms and directives of the Council. Above all we must favour the development of conciliar attitudes. First one must be in harmony with the Council. One must put into effect what was stated in its documents; and what was ‘implicit’ should be made explicit in the light of the experiments that followed and in the light of new and emerging circumstances" (17 October 1978)

No, not a dissident.  One could perhaps make the argument that the "spirit of Vatican II" crowd  are actually the dissidents -


I'm also willing to be that RE in Montreal, Edmonton and Calgary (basically any metro area without a foreign buyer tax) will see a boom.


You are an intelligent person, but I would doubt you understand the methods used for hacking into systems.   Considering major corporations with millions of dollars of IT resources can't stop hackers from getting through their firewall, I have don't expect you to understand the complexity of such attacks.

*I  have extended family who have worked with IT services in Washington DC, having the highest possible clearance who hate Assange and consider him a traitor.  They do know the challenges of IT work, work in national security and have the education and experience to understand it's challenges.

Our intellegence agency can not and should not be subject to transparency that will expose the our country to any kind of attack.   PE Trump knows this and clearly has no intention of being transparent with his own decision making past and present.


For decades, while in opposition, the Alberta NDP positioned themselves as champions of the poor and vulnerable. They opposed pipeline expansion, stood up against the tar sands and promoted workers rights.

Now in power, the NDP are raising the cost of everything, thus hurting the poor. They have become cheerleaders for big oil and pipelines, and they are about to bring forward a Bill that will further erode the rights of workers in Alberta. So much for sticking to their principals!

When I voted NDP in the last election, I expected them to be an NDP government, but instead they all seem to have become a bunch of conservatives, adopting conservative policies and practices, just to appease the powerful corporate lobby. Now they risk loosing support from both the left and the right.


The ones that I really 'like'  are the teachers and professors that seem to say that there are no other opinions that count other than theirs.   Good luck getting a good grade from them if you disagree.


The federal government did in many situations buy or obtain rights of way for highways; at least, that was the written policy until Statehood.  But some State highways have gaps in them where the feds did not buy or obtain rights of way.  Also, many Alaska homesteaders worked for the federal road bureau and borrowed bureau equipment to put in roads; many of those roads are on the State road system, but there may not actually be legal rights for the public to use the roads.


Do some analysis around who the 1% are and say that again with a straight face.


Barely a week after the inauguration and we are hearing buyers remorse across the land. If you think you and your family are safe....think again. In addition to building the famous wall he has done a good job of alienating Mexico, our third largest trading partner. That means they will not be eager to buy our goods nor will we be able to buy from them if they sell to other markets. His brainstorm of a 20% tax on goods from Mexico will give us the wall but it comes from your wallet.
The sanctuary cities might be forever in the courts as his powers cannot reach directly to the mayors to order compliance.
Now you can continue to fear our chummy relationship with Russia as he will chat with Putin on his unsecured line about deals they can arrange. Putin will be sure to clean his clock.
Keep in mind though that our biggest problem is his purported low turnout for the inauguration, his Time  magazine covers and those Latino unregistered cheaters who only voted for Hillary Clinton. OY VEY!


hmmm, think about it.
"illegal" migrant working(human trafficking" or possibly a "green" card holder?


There is a huge difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion.... Logan Wort does not really differentiate them.


Bloody hell an other reasonable. Dogs can go most places it's fine if there are a few places they can't go. I hate the people who freak out if a dog dare approach them, especially at off leash dog parks, but that's an other story. As for the dog poop problem I wish there was a law that anyone caught not cleaning up after their pets can, and should be punched in the face once. Almost every time I hike with my dog I bring back about 20 bags of poop. 1 or 2 from my own dog.


Trump shunning the global community’s concern about our environment should  be "deeply troubling” the USCCB since they have been among his tacit, and, at times, complicit abettors.
Even though Trump has said he considers climate change a hoax, Bishop Cantú continues relying on feigned episcopal naiveté to gloss their deafening silence by repeating Catholic teaching, "I can only hope that the president will propose concrete ways to address global climate change and promote environmental stewardship.”
Trump has had at least 50 years to propose or promote anything other than himself. If the bishops aren’t aware of this, and if all they can say is, “I can only hope…” as they defend failing institutions, then it is little wonder than the the Catholic church, like this country, is in such alarming disarray.


Nothing new here. During a Tea Party rally the progressives bussed in a bunch of union thugs to disrupt it. One of them started a fight and actually bit a guys finger off. The papers reported it as evidence that the TP was a violent organization.


Downtown parking meters need to go away. Way to much regulation of pot. Equitable land trades only no sweet heart deals and no tax breaks for Tudor Center. No to any law that makes snitches out of prostitutes, prostitution should be legal anyway. Anchorage has pretty good oversight of city construction projects, so yes to finishing Loussac improvement.


May the follow-through be successful and a model for others.


Actually, they pleaded not guilty from the start and said they did not start the fire. Why is there supprise with the details of their story of innocence when it was their claim from the beginning? Does "smelling of lies" equal telling lies, and if so, what lies is the defense lawyer telling?
If you know what happened for certain go testify. If you don't let the trial play out. Maybe they really didn't do it. Me personally, I have no clue as to their guilt. I have not seen the evidence or listened to the testimony. So I will let the legal process make the call.


I agree with Windbourne - show proof otherwise you are blowing smoke.


It has absolutely nothing to do with Trump. First of all the bid was too low. Secondly even if a deal was made it would almost certainly be vetoed by the UK government mostly because of the shoddy treatment of Cadbury after the Kraft take over.  Thirdly Kraft Heinz is viewed in Europe as a cut to the bone low product quality company, Unilever is viewed as being more quality based. So please quit trying to blame Trump for the ups and downs in the world.


That's a whole different editorial that you'd probably read somewhere else before seeing it here.


No, es.  Builders would raise prices if they could.  Why wouldn't they.  As long as they can make more money they will both raise prices and increase pay.  Now, additional factors beyond elastic markets may be at play.  For example, builders face a cyclic market.  While there is demand now, there may not be in a year or two.  There may be a reluctance to raise pay when experience tells builders that the demand won't last but the raises will.  Yet another factor is the influence of unions.  Unions don't like competition, they may work to prevent expansion of the work force thinking that existing workers may be more likely to be laid off if the work force is expanded.  Brook's conclusion about immigrant workers does not even consider all the factors at work in construction.


mira,
For a person so concerned with racism & the treatment of First Nations peoples, you sure participate in your share of racism and hyperbole. Canada is one of the safest and most tolerant countries on Earth. We have our failings, and a small minority of white supremacists do exist here, but a quick look at crime statistics would show that on average, First Nations peoples are much safer living in Canada's cities than they are on reserves where instances of crime are much higher. And John didn't pass all blame or absolve Canada of any responsibility for these developments, instead, he accepts that Canada must contribute funding to help address the crisis but that First Nations communities can only solve the issue from within. How can you deny this? First Nations have been fighting for more autonomy and with that comes responsibility for outcomes. Autonomy means when things go wrong, regardless of why, it's up to you to solve them. Blame doesn't solve anything, action does.


adverriser1>  I can only tell you what I know from my studies, but the CW was a very unfortunate event in our young country's history.  I find it amazing that our country has become so screwed up it makes me wonder if there will be some kind of civil uprising once again.  Hope for the best and keep being positive.


"Muting" does nothing more than allow a user to control what he/she sees on his/her own screen.  I don't think the flaw is between Disqus and CivilComments but in the actual blocking programming CC implemented, which blocks an entire thread where a mutee's comments appear, rather than just the mutee's comments.  I've written a number of times to ask for this very simple change -- perhaps if others took 2 minutes to also request this minor change we would have a more workable system.  Practically speaking, not even seeing posts from those you know (by history) to be personally offensive is really the only defense we have in a comment forum.


That is pretty funny. He would not be on the list of 100 most successful business people of any major Canadian city. If middle of the road wealth is the criteria then he would be one of about 500,000 people that qualify. I hope our leaders do a lot more than talk a good game and are able to actually articulate and execute policy. Let's judge candidates by their policies, their personal integrity and their ability to execute. Mr. O'Leary scores low on all three.


The sad triumph of "let me mind your business" Big Government Conservatives in Alaska is shameful in a state that historically prided itself on independence, rugged individualism, and a government that kept its nose out of citizens' affairs.  Hopefully the courts toss the Nanny State Republicans out the window.


How's Jughead doing for you? Think a bit more deeply about your vote in 2019.


Either these are serial killers in the making (it typically starts with animals), in which case there is not much that can be done to really make them understand the impact of what they have done.  If however, they are just stupid boys, who did something stupid, then perhaps they can be made to do community service for a year working with endangered animals and the scientists working to save them.  Then perhaps they might have some concept of why so many people are so upset about this.

So.. awful...They are lucky it was not crows... they have a long, long memory for those who have wronged them...


I wonder how many gifts that hag accepted to her fortune as sec of state? Would they have issue?


He's just a junior in high school and won't join UH till 2019. He has the height at 6'3" and still growing. Who knows what he'll be in 2019?? looking good.


Too little, too late, Mr. Gardner.


The fact that maybe one of the executives decided to sell off would maybe not be so obvious, but what are the chances that 3 of them do it all within a couple days of each other?  That is just too close to be coincidence.

Also, when one of those 143 million people has their identity stolen now, Equifax should be liable for all associated fees and legwork to restore that person's identity.


"1867 Confederation" ???...where did you get that ?...Canada is a Federal state and NOT a Confederate Association of SOVEREIGN States, the usual meaning of « Confederation », oui ?

In 2017 Canada  celebrate his 150th Birthday, so they say ?
So HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Canada G4= joint venture between (dominant) ONTARIO & Québec
but in the “backseat” are Nova Scotia (aka Acadia) & New Brunswick (aka Acadia)
Rest of Canada (RoC) will wait to celebrated in a few years then ?
G5 in 1870 with Manitoba
G6 in 1871 with British Columbia
G7 in 1873 with Prince Edward Island
G9 in 1905 with Alberta & Saskatchewan
G10 in 1949 with Newfoundland

It may be the 150th Anniversary of Canada...“Federation” (oui?)
But it is the 375th Anniversary of Montréal too
How could it be ?...Montréal is OLDER than Canada ?
What was the NAME of that country BEFORE his 150th Anniversary then ?...
How they called themselves ?
So Québec is much more OLDER than Canada ?...
In 2008 Québec celebrated his 400th Birthday


Three million voted for Trump. Seven million voted Libertairian, Green or Democrat. One hundred forty two million eligible voters did not vote at all. Not much interest in the future of their country or economy.


The answer to that is pretty much no. Only the same kinds of gambling that Alaska already allows anywhere else in the State. If the State allows pull-tabs then a tribe could have a pull-tab shop. Casino type gambling is illegal in Alaska so would not be allowed on tribal lands here.
http://www.tax.alaska.gov/programs/programs/help/faq/faq.aspx?54160
 Keep in mind that much of the tribally owned fee land is in very remote areas; gambling operations need lots of customers to be successful ... not likely to happen off the road system.


It rather sounds like there's something in there to upset everybody no matter what their leanings, and that's just the Republicans!


This is bizarre and does not address the most obvious questions.

St Apollinaire is a tiny town in "deepest Quebec". It obviously does not attract immigrants of any kind. Even Quebec City does not. The Muslim population is tiny (1.52%).

There is a Muslim-run cemetery in Montreal, as well as Muslim sections in non-denominational cemeteries, which makes sense since that is where all the immigrants go.  That is where the great bulk of "the Muslim Community" is located.

Those who prefer to ship the body for burial in "their homeland" rather than  to Montreal are not doing so because there is no cemetery in Quebec City...


The key point for the ultra-conservatives that run the presidency is long-term control: Gorsuch is only 49.  Life doesn't always work out that way, though.


Why am I not surprised that you defend Pavone?


What do you actually understand by mercy, compassion and forgiveness?
Someone needing mercy has done something wrong.
Someone needing compassion needs pity.
Someone who needs forgiveness needs to acknowledge that they have done something wrong.
Jesus never condoned sin, as Son of God He could never have done so.


You are outside of your boundaries, Tri, and just trying to pic a fight in the New Year, although I sure don't know why you want to pick one with me.

We have the right to our own sensibilities, and it will be very difficult for some of us to move from graciousness to vulgarity in the White House. Sure nice of you to remind us on New Year's.


Moving target practice.


Scrutiny is expected and welcomed.
Made up news and wishful thinking disguised and news are neither welcomed or warranted


Nick Cohen in today's The Guardian newspaper:-

"The worst elements on the left once exploited Islamism in an identical manner. When jihadis attacked New York, London or Paris they, too, joined what I called the “kill us, we deserve it” school of foreign policy analysis. In their case, it was not our tolerance of immigration that brought punishment. Rather, they explained away the crimes of an irrational religious totalitarianism as logical responses to western foreign policy, poverty or discrimination, which, and since you mentioned it, they already opposed.

"Outside Stop the War, you hear less of that argument now. Perhaps it has finally sunk in that portraying Muslims as bombs primed to explode on western provocation was a picture that drew appreciative applause from a far right that held that Muslims could never live peacefully in the west."


Well said!


As a woman, I am offended that you assume most women in the workplace are bullies. I manage employees at a small business that come in all shapes, sizes, colors and genders. Bullying can happen to anyone at anytime and it really doesn't matter who is the aggressor, just that it needs to be addressed. And the photo correlates with the main victim/perpetrator story in this article.
