Nothing more absurd than someone who bases their arguments via semantics coupled with a clear lack of understanding themselves of the Constitution and our history.

Let's pick the lowest hanging fruit from the tree...the 19th Amendment passed by Congress June 4, 1919, and ratified on August 18, 1920(by the States...not SCOTUS) gave women the RIGHT to vote(I am pretty sure God approved their "right" to vote long before 1920).

Similarily the Voting RIGHTS Act of 1965 was a federal piece of legislation signed into law by President Johnson. In fact, as initially ratified, the Constitution allowed each state complete discretion to determine voter qualifications for its residents.

Have legislation / laws been upheld or struck down by the Supreme Court? Of course.  But to suggest voting RIGHTS cannot be granted by government is not historically accurate. It may be a privilege to live in this country but it is a RIGHT to vote thanks to what has been legislated into the Constitution.


If you are going to comment on the widow of Spears you must be really outraged by the written reprimand given to two American pilots who the killed four Canadian soldiers and the injury of eight others from the 3rd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry Battle Group (3PPCLIBG) on the night of April 17, 2002, near Kandahar, Afghanistan.


Othello ceased to love in the moment he strangled his wife at the murderous intrigue of lago.  Othello's motive was not love, but revenge born of  jealous rage that his wife had been unfaithful to him with Cassio.


I find the link between the public sector and immigration interesting. When the Liberals make policies to benefit the immigrant, the public sector worker receives more job security. Combine the two groups and a 39% majority is not far off.  The private sector worker on the other hand,is left to pay for it all, including benefits; which most of the private sector workers will never have themselves.

Even if the immigrant works legally, they will drive wages down in the private sector. Wages are never driven
down in the Public Sector. Even our own children are hesitant to work on the books and lose their benefits in many instances, The temptation for immigrants with multiple children to work for cash must be even greater.

In this case however, the potential impact is so great that the Public Sector Workers themselves will not be insulated from the disruption. It will be interesting to see if the Liberals tax the benefits that most private sector workers don't have.


Trump must go.


Oh, no.....
Are THE PEOPLE so forgetful that ANYONE would vote for Rod Tam???
If so, we truly deserve the representation we elect.


You have the same comprehension level as Justin!


FYI Christy Clark LOST in the election

... in fact in the most affluent area of all of BC, & Dix was legally elected in the election, and so was the NDP all through the west coast to stop all the lobbyists from Alberta working with China that pay the BC liberals - as LOBBYISTS- to work for them, against the best interest of the public of BC and Canada.

Chrsty Clark has NEVER won an election to be Premier in BC, BC Liberals nominating her, does not make her elected - she Lost to David Eby.


I often don't agree with Leah but I have believed for years that she is trying to write from an honest place, including the breast feeding column, and including when she makes herself look less than perfect. The life extension stuff is a real thing; why not have it out for discussion?


Instead of taking/spending money in Seattle or Washington, seriously consider skiing in Alaska and spending your money here. We need the jobs and revenue much more than Seattle and adjacent areas.


Well, to be fair, any supposed "merits" of Trump are yet to be seen, so there is a reason these people keep up with the conspiracy theories and other deflection tactics that involve people that are not Trump, like Hillary.

Next up in the rotation? Maybe the birther stuff? Ayers? Alinsky? Wright? Obama is secretly gay and/or Muslim? Or that Michelle is really a man?

There is no end of nonsense conspiracy theories that the right spends hours and hours agonizing over, all while ignoring the rot at the center of their party, as well as the intrinsic immorality of their ideology.


Great move by Obama!  I miss him already and so does most of the free world.  He'll definitely be remembered as one of the greats.  Take a bow!


"Showered" with gifts? A piece of art and a bag of dirt from the Russian village where Kushner's grandparents were born?

Kushner doesn't publicly reveal everything that was discussed. He describes the relevant things that WEREN'T discussed. The details of the conversation can be explored in private testimony before congress, if they wish.

Don't be jealous, Patrick. One day you too may be the son-in-law of the most powerful man on the planet. Don't let those bags of dirt from foreign bankers go to your head.

We knew who Trump was in March why are we surprised by any revelation now he cant spell the word truth much less recognize it. Im supporting Hillary.


Just as we have the Richter Scale for measuring perturbations in the earth's crust, I suggest we create an Offendedness Scale to measure the degree of outrage being vented over social matters. The Richter Scale is logarithmic, meaning that small numerical movements on the scale translate into huge increases in the earthquake's power. The Offendedness Scale, however, due to the nature of what it's measuring, will have to be inversely logarithmic. Small changes in the level of offensiveness will be marked by huge increases in the numeric scale. Thus:

The Offendedness Scale

0 - The Cosmic Void
1 - Life is created
10 - Sentience arises
100 - The spoken word is invented
10,000 - Someone makes a knock-knock joke
100,000,000 - Someone makes a blond joke
10^256 - Irony

Being "deeply offended" occurs somewhere around the 10^256 mark.  Some offensometers are currently recording Prof. Marrus' remarks at that level, although meters calibrated outside the U of T are reading lower.


Unless the free trade agreement they want, and which Trudeau is so eager to sign, allows them to do so.

Wow! I  bet Atkins is just quaking in her shoes over these demands. If these minor parties want to play with the big dogs they need to round up a substantial constituant base, which they obviously have not done. If you can't run with the big dogs stay on the porch and quit whining.


I'm intrigued why the G&M editoral board has its nickers in a twist over the travel ban by the US - yet I don't remember seeing an editorial on the travel ban affecting citizens of Israel.  Is there one in the works? Or does M103 kick in when that subject comes up?


Bill Walker thinks he is right and that is the problem. He has never given up on the idea that he is right about the gasline and now he is sure that he is right about the Permanent Fund. Dogged determination is only good when you are truly right. In the case of the gasline and the Permanent Fund he is dead wrong, and his dogged determination will lead to disaster.


Sorry.  As a native Bostonian, I would like to point out to you that
(a) the nation was not founded by Puritans -- various colonies were founded for a variety of reasons, including in the case of the colonies that later became the slave states commercial greed.
(b) the Puritans were concerned with religious freedom only for themselves.  Rhode Island was founded largely by people who were exiled from Massachusetts, and we do commemorate (with statues on the State House lawn) Quakers who were murdered by the Puritans for their faith.
The ancestors of today's Baptists and today's Methodists made it clear that they would reject the Constitution if it did not contain provisions to protect our country from people like many of their descendants turned out to be.


It's actually your ridiculous paranoia that's comical.  I'm laughing AT you, not with you!


Of course it also takes time for people to be lured into falsity. The last fifty plus years has proved that. From a homogenous group of believers in the 1950s the Church has not only been drasticallly reduced in numbers but also reduced to a squabbling mass of individuals many of whom reject its teaching and even deny the authority to teach which was bequeathed to it by Christ, Our Lord, Himself.
You only have to read the articles and the comments on this website to be aware of the total disparity of belief among people who claim to be Catholic.
The grace to convert every sinner comes not from receiving Communion but from repentance and a purpose of amendment made in the Sacrament of Penance. The Eucharist is only medicine for those who have taken the cure, not for those who blithely continue in sin.
The differentiation between subjective and objective responsibility disappears altogether when the law of God is clearly explained by one's confessor or spiritual advisor.


Many new condo buildings were sold with artificially low maintenance fees. As these fees increase at rates far above inflation, rents have to rise to more than the LTB guideline.   Tenants should look to secure longer leases with guaranteed rates.

And just for the record I totally agree with you it should be on every news feed you do realize the commander an chief is Obama don't you that's why it's not on any media outlets chew on that little bit of truth for awhile


Yes, it's quite apparent you dont waste any time "thinking" about any of the things you post.


No, it is actually THE CASE. I don't know where you have been getting your information from, but in the last 20 years, the wealth and income rates for the bottom 90% of the US work force have actually decreased when adjusted for inflation, while the incomes for the top 10% have grown 80%.


I read it, since I subscribe to WSJ. I thought the column was full of speculation based on speculation based on speculation, all based on Loretta Lynch meeting with Bill Clinton on an airport runway. Yet again, a right-wing commentator seeing a deep plot and suppression of evidence that Hillary did something illegal. The FBI, including its many conservative Republican agents, reviewed it and found nothing criminal. Ms. Strassel's column is a sop to right-wing conspiracy freaks, and a justification for the firing of Comey, which was  almost certainly done to impede the Trump-Russia investigation. Look for more cuts to the FBI, more firings, and the transfer of top investigators to district offices in Utah, Idaho, Oregon, and American Samoa.


Logical fallacy in your argument on this as you are implying that If fake slurs happened once then all future slurs must also be fake


30 years, 30 years of investigations led by Republicans!  How many congressional hearings, how many committees, how much tax payer money has been thrown at Hillary Clinton in their attempts to discredit her?  And the excuses - well they've must have paid off the FBI, they are all in collusion, if we just can get a hold of more emails surely we'll find SOMETHING.  ENOUGH already!  If the Republican's refuse to do their job and continue to obstruct the governance of this country they need to be relieved of their office.  Each and every one of these people who say they will continue to hold hearings, bring impeachment charges, refuse to consider SC nominees are violating their oath of office.  And they should be held accountable.

Hmm, I thought you could only legally grow 4 pot plants at your house regardless of how many people have medical marijuana cards.  How can 16 be legal at a rental duplex in a residential neighborhood?  Perhaps a commercially zoned warehouse is legal for 16, but I think 18th and Pierce is not a commercially zoned area.  If he was my neighbor, I would not be missing the skunky smell of the pot.

I wonder if his landlord's insurance will cover the damage to the dwelling since the article leads me to believe he knew of the pot grow.

Thanks for the comment and information. Appreciated.  But what Im saying is that ObamaCare did not even include a public or it would appear non profit option. Yes it might have been difficult to get that thru...but Obama at that point...with public goodwill...a majority of about 59 votes in the Senate...and a Democratic Congress....might have tried a lot harder. Its been said he spent very little time lobbying senators and congress persons.....when some personal lobbying... as Lyndon Johnson...Bill Clinton...and others knew might have worked wonders. 34 Democratic Houe members may have voted against...and few GOP for his proposal....hardly any GOP as i recall...but would have have lost anymore votes if a public or non profit option was provided. As it is...Obama care is like a gaurantee of profits to the private insurance companies whose high costs have made American medicare and health care far more expensive as a share of Gdp than in Canada or elsewhere.


Great news.

This article claims to take its content from the report by the Bank of Canada, however there are great inaccuracies in this G&M article.
I'd ask that ANY readers who feel at risk, or doubt our lending policies in Canada, reach out to Mortgage Professional's Canada and inquire. You can find them here: https://www.mortgageproscan.ca/en/
You'll quickly find out just how prudent Broker Lenders are with their guidelines.
Our lenders ARE regulated by OSFI.
Our lender's have investors OTHER than Banks.
Our policies DO ensure borrowers are protected and not given free money on the backs of CMHC or the OTHER 2 Insurers in Canada.

House prices and a housing correction are one thing.
Free money with no qualifying is another.
Broker lenders don't give away free money.
And Broker's are regulated by a Provincial body (like FSCO in Ontario)
Remind me again who regulates a bank employee?

About a couple of decades ago the Canadian province of British Columbia employed very similar policies to encourage the immigration of moneyed Hong Kong residents, believing that if they come, they would enhance the prospects for the, then, sluggish economic times the province was enduring, and also participate in community building efforts. You may want to ask B.C. residents who weathered these policy decisions just how well it all turned out.

As a nearby (U.S.) observer, to me it turned out that property values skyrocketed, middle- and working-class neighborhoods were transformed into communities of lot-line-to-lot-line “McMansion” monstrosities, and those middle/working-class residents were priced right out of the market, forcing them towards the metropolitan edges and rural areas of the greater Vancouver region. Sound familiar?


Cool story, bro.


You clearly know few people who come to this country to settle here.  I have known very many over many years, and I have heard none of them talking to Americans about anything that would remotely demonstrate a lack of gratitude for the opportunity to be here.
Many people do find our customs strange and our language difficult to learn.  Nevertheless, they adapt, and their children become as American as anyone else.
I don't know if you have any concept of how difficult it is to leave one's home and everything familiar in order to find safety or to be able to provide for one's family.  If the trauma that the immigrants suffer manifests itself in ways that offend you, then I am sorry for you.
If one is to speak about being ungrateful and unappreciative, I would use native-born Americans as a prime example.  Close to a majority of them choose not to vote; many cheat on taxes.  That, to me is far greater evidence of a lack of gratitude than anything any immigrant might say.


Another incorrect use "sour grapes'.  The fable concerns an animal who tries to reach grapes on a trellis and cannot do so.  When he gives up and walks away he states "They weren't probably sour anyway".  The expression does not mean sore loser or lack of grace in accepting defeat.  If Hilary was to say, "Being President is probably overrated anyway" that would be sour grapes.


...at a cost.


JM288, utter nonsense.

I know how much it costs me to use my car to commute to and from work, and I know how much of that ends up in government coffers.  Contrary to what Mayor Tory would have you believe, Toronto _does_ get a chunk of that revenue. (soon to _double_, apparently)  Toronto isn't subsidizing my commute at all.

Also, you're right, GO transit is _very_ convenient.  _If_ you happen to work downtown.  If you don't work downtown, (like me, for instance) then you're SOL as far as GO transit goes.

These tolls were simply a way for Toronto to tax non-Toronto voters.


VERY interesting article.
"Gianforte acknowledged the incident during his election night speech. “When you make a mistake, you have to own up to it,” he told supporters."

The design of these simple boxes with baffle on top haven’t changed much in 45 years or so, since USFS Campgrounds had them for fee stations near entrances.

Part of the design flaw has always been a lack of intricate mechanism, of weights, springs, a few more flaps that work only One-Way. Jr High or younger kids were known to have been using coat hanger wire, cable fishing leader, and actually fishing for envelopes in the early 1970s.

No actual hooks were used. A lot of ‘hand’ and a bend in hanger wire was the earlier method. Appears there are a few mild angles, into the box. Nothing too hard.

One enterprising young man waited until his dad, a USFS boss, went on vacation; he asked to stay home to watch their house. With the extra sets of keys, he had a green car, special fuel pump, & keys to those lock boxes. And beer free money for a few months; plus the use of a car or sometimes a truck.

The son went to college, is paid well, now is a head republican, in MT state. ;)

We need more than urban planning although that is one important component.  Technology must be looked at to change the way things are done. Things like self-driving cars will reduce the need for new roads.  Both sort and long distance must be added.  Rural area need better internet service and other services to make living there easier. Adding renewable energy generation and transportation that can use nonpolluting energy will significantly reduce pollution.
Closed loop food generation like hydroponics and algae bioreactors need to be part of the water shortage problem.  We already have a deficit using current agricultural practices and variations that may small improvements will not be enough to deal with increasing population and increasing warming. Such a program helps keep people in rural areas which in turn reduces the problems of housing and congestion in urban areas.

Once again women are doing themselves harm. This time by suggesting that there should be more women in the work place. That means more competition for jobs, thus lower pay, and more unemployment. More unemployment means higher welfare costs so a cost to the taxpayer.

Canada has been aggressively adding to our population for the last 20 years without skipping a beat unlike before that time when it fluctuated and took breaks.  There is no way to absorb this influx when the bulk of the immigrants move into the same few cities.


Oh great, so the solution to eliminating a security risk is to consolidate passengers into an even more confined space with curbside access! That's convenient for the every day terrorist who wishes to drive past curbside and shoot directly into the complex. Why not look at alternatives to make the 5th floor check points more secure? Ballistic glass could be installed or areas can be blocked off. Consolidating everything onto one floor does not seem to be a feasible solution and sounds like it would limit airline growth. Dumb project. Airports are meant to be a mechanism for travel, not to be a shopping mall. Passengers want to get to their gates first and foremost. Also, let's face it. This is DENVER. So unless they're planning on selling endless amounts of Northface, granola or marijuana (whoops, forgot the whole cannot ship across state lines thingy), this will not be successful. Invest in concourse concessions instead since the majority of current concourse concessions blow.


"The United States spends more on health care than any other nation, whether measured by percent of GDP or cost per capita. Yet we ranked 37th among the world’s nations in a 2000 WHO study of health care quality." LTE David E Faris

Another fact that Mr. Faris forgot to mention is that the federal government currently directly controls about 67% of the nations healthcare, right now, today. http://www.pnhp.org/news/2016/january/government-funds-nearly-two-thirds-of-us-health-care-costs-american-journal-of-pub

So if costs are higher and outcomes are worse should not the majority of blame be placed on the organization that directly controls the largest share of healthcare?

But, but, but for-profit insurance companies and the free market and rich people are to blame for all ills because that is what Mr. Faris has been told to believe.

Raised in Chugiak, weird twist on that article. I now realize you must be joking, or perhaps need a little help with the article:

 "A Florida Trump supporter sprayed mace at a Clinton supporter who she said got into her face and responded to the spray by knocking her to the ground, police said."  So the Trump supporter did the spraying, and the Clinton support did the "knocking her to the ground" So the Trump supporter (mace-sprayer) was a woman. Clinton supporter was a man. Article goes on to identify them as Donna Tatlici and Tom Garrecht. Agreed?

Next, your quote (which you modified by adding party affiliations, incorrectly): "Tatlici warned Garrecht, 58, she had pepper spray and would use it on him when he cursed “right into my face,” she told The Palm Beach Post. He didn’t back off, so she pepper-sprayed him, she said. Garrecht then slammed her to the ground and punched her, according to Tatlici."

Very telling that Garrecht (in fact, the 'D') was the one arrested for assault.

Just as I suspected, Mr. Lewis.  You've drunk the Kool-Aid of Dan Dugan!  That was so 1990s.  Of course, you realize that he attempted in every way possible to "prove" that Waldorf was part of a "cult" and was a "religious" school and therefore should not be allowed in any kind of charter setting in the public schools.  He fabricated so much drivel and brought some major lawsuits against the public schools and LOST on on counts, and now thankfully, there are more and more Waldorf charter schools, in addition to the private ones, educating children across the country.  I thought his fear-mongers disappeared a long time ago!  So much misguided energy wasted, for what purpose?  Why the axe grinding?  Waldorf education is the best thing that has ever happened for the benefit of children worldwide, IMHO.


Yes, that is a good question and one that could and maybe should be asked of Roberts bus company on Maui.  My guess would be that many, who are not currently driving school buses are "on call." What does not make sense is that Ground Transport is willing "to fly in" bus drivers from O'ahu for the work; not to mention the facts that GT should have known ahead of time, whether or not they would have had enough drivers for the new school year, before hand.

With all due respect, Helgard posted the following comment: 'The SA media has been silent on this news - which just show how complicit they are in TDS and "fake news."'

I was merely pointing out reasons why the SA Media has presumably been silent on the issue - namely that we have more than enough of our own issues to cover. Also, I notice he hasn't responded to my query regarding what points were factually misleading - perhaps because there were none?


If the book represented a confession by Ms. Clinton in the acceptance of blame then there would be no need for the book. Instead, she offers a serious of superficial admissions with most of the nearly 500 pages about why it was not her fault. The old "I accept full responsibility" politician/CEO PR gambit.

However, Ms. Stead is correct that some of the commentary toward Ms. Renzetti was truly full of hate. Very sad, injured people they are.

Have you ever seen Yosemite National Park?? Seen El Capitan, and the wild scenery there? Do you also know, that the EARTH HAS BEEN WARMING AND THAWING FOR OVER 105 MILLION YEARS and our little dot on the planet has not caused what is going on. This is what the earth has been doing for more years than a human can count. When you see the claw marks of GLACIERS that eventually end up back up there in the park (way after we are gone), it proves that this government and those interested in causing fear, are using "climate change" as a ploy for money, and getting things they want. Seriously, go watch the parks like Yellowstone, and Yosemite....they will tell you ALL you need to know. Its bogus and the liberal agenda in the white house is trying very hard to convince you of it when its bs. Educate yourself on how the earth works. There are more volcanoes going off under the ocean, and above ground, that any single eruption puts mass gas and heat into our atomosphere.  Read up


Consider this scenario: Its 2019 and we have a new president. One that we wanted. We fought a hard campaign, formed a government of national unity that is "anti corruption". predictably a call for a"no confidence" vote is called by disgruntled majority-less MP's. In the background, we still have dodgy billionaire businessmen, who profit from destabilisation, uncertainty, policy delay and drawn out commissions of enquiry. What's a few hundred millions rands, in paper bags, doled out to MP's worth? Secret ballot anyone? Suddenly Bob's your uncle, your president (and his ministers) are recalled and there is NO recourse, no idea WHO was bribed, who folded, buckled, who has a swiss bank account. If you represent the people in parliament, then your vote should be public. If you are too scared to, then you need to resign and let someone else take your place. After all, if you are scared of fires, you don't become a fireman.


White fragility in the house yo!!!


why couldn't the younger "the others" cooperate in the investigation and prosecution of  gutierrez in a plea deal?

Mexico has plenty of money to pay for the wall.


I remember the lean times from 78 until about 89-90. At one point people were walking away from homes, and leaving their house key on the counter at the bank. It seemed like there was an excavator or trucking company behind every tree, looking for crumbs. Work went cheap. Too cheap for some, as they went bankrupt trying to do something for nothing.
Alaska has economical cycles, especially since the end of the taps time. Those that saved, and diversified will be fine. Those that didn't will scramble to make it. If our legislature doesn't get our economical house in order, I suspect we will see 1985 all over again. Save your pennies, and they just may save you.


I have never, ever been convinced of a point because of something Samantha Bee has said. She's the same old Left message we get over and over.

 I prefer the dry wit of Ben Shapiro. Steven Crowder also has many fine points.

Regardless of which particular are you find yourself in the political spectrum, there is no one capable of filling the shoes of the great George Carlin. He is missed.


Taking $1,000 from each Alaskan gives the Republican Majority an additional $730,000,000.00 that they turn around and give to big oil in tax credits and gas line money.  It is THAT SIMPLE. Republicans are stealing our money to give to big oil so big oil gives them donations to win the next election so they can steal our money and continue to pay themselves about $20,000.00 a month and have a glass palace to sit in for the other 9 months. End this idiocy. Vote the monsters out!


Democrats once again proving they love law breaking illegals, and hate America.
This is the same Dem party platform that lost more than 1200 local, state and fed seats over the last eight years, and every single special election since Trump was inaugurated.
And now they have doubled down on their own stupidity and poised themselves to get smoked in 2018 and 2020 too.
These clueless saps never learn.


How many lawsuits? Was Clinton found guilty of any wrongdoing? Live in the real world not the loony right wing media world.


The science is clear: there there is no such thing as "safe" fracking (I.e. High-column slick water hydraulic fracturing methods in use only since ~ 2000).  Especially in earthquake prone areas.  Very bad news for AK 😡💥.


I feel like I'm not doing my job with my total return over the last 10 years has averaged 12.5% . ... including my dive returns . I have mix of Canadian and international companies - blue chip.

Vote out the representatives who don't care about citizens and their property rights.  BEFORE a tree is cut down on private property the citizen must be able to negotiate the price.  The price at the sawmill can change daily.  Maybe the price at the chipper is 1500 today.


If a police officer is executing a valid search warrant and only looking where items named in that search warrant might be found, he does not have to ignore evidence of other crimes or criminal conduct he comes across in the process.

For example if  he steps on a dead body as he goes in the front door.

"Within 24 hours surrender all deadly weapons in the respondent’s custody, control or possession to a law enforcement agency, a gun dealer or a third party who may lawfully possess the deadly weapons;"  and "(5) If a third party claims lawful ownership or right of possession of a deadly weapon surrendered pursuant to this section, the law enforcement agency may return the deadly weapon to the third party"  would imply that her gun can go to her.    It's a little loosey goosey, though.


Thanks and btw-absolutely agree he should go to the school board, although it is fairly likely they will not allow comments from the parents. The school boards screen the little cards they tell folks to fill out pre-public session, and then do not give the person their 3 minutes, telling them "sorry, no time, please reschedule" - month after month after month. I have observed that in person time and time again, watching that type thing occur over and over if it is a topic the school board is unwilling to talk about, or have go public.

Elway may have lots of NFL experience, but he is dead wrong on this one.  Paxton Lynch is the next Tim Tebow.  Based on his college career, He SHOULD be a good candidate, but hasn't made the transition from college ball to the NFL.  Watch him in the pre-season games, he can't read the defense, and then winds up running the ball.  When he does pass, he can't hit the receiver regularly.  Sorry to say, Elway blew it on this one, and continues to suck on QB decisions.  In a few years, Sloter will be winning games for another team, and Elway will still be looking for the "right" QB.


Agree on Ennis "maturity." I also think a combo of Pritchard and Benson need big games, too: if 4 of our 5 starters play great, we have a chance. No less. It may take the game of their lives, literally, and all on the same night to beat NC. Those guys are just so deep, long, fast, and accurate.
Plus... few teams ever do well at the next level the first time. Call it jitters or lack of confidence or just being surprised by the intensity. I wouldn't bet on the Ducks for all these reasons, but I know Altman has the coaching chops to draw up a win. It's a matter of execution: I think we have the talent, but like I say, it's unexplored territory for the program and that's important.


Well said.
It stood out for me that the writer neglected to point out that our post secondary students are well over 50% female.  Which I don't have a real issue with, but it high time to stop suggesting that women do not have equal opportunity.
The "gender pay gap" is about individual choices not sexism.
"The future is female" comes off as implying there is no need or place for "male" in our future.
Why can't we accept each other as equal but different and get back to making progress?


So the answer is no, you are not an Alaskan.  Look Mr. Donkel, you can state your views anytime and anywhere you wish but please do not make it sound like you are an Alaskan.  You can do that after you move your family up here to live.  As to buying a house, I suggest you contact a reputable realtor in Alaska.
But if you family lives elsewhere then you really aren't an Alaska just because you own a house here.
A home yes, but not a house.

Your religion isn't part of the discussion.  I could care less if you are a Christian, Muslim or no religion at all.

By the way, where exactly do you live?


Perhaps Senator Michael Bennet has forgotten then Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) who said infamously when Obamacare was passed, (paraphrasing) "You have to pass it first before you can read it."

I was thinking the same thing, with the $15 an hour minimum wage, don't forget paid sick time, Royal Caribbean will be next on the chopping block.


And your proof of your contention is what?  Because you're poor?  Then get off your ass and go to work.  Taking money from others runs out after awhile.  If you're not as successful as others, first look in the mirror and determine which wrong decisions you've made throughout your life, and change.  It's just a mental mouseclick.  Don't be afraid.


Not sure where they bailed to, and agree with most of what you penned. While liberal is a generic term, it is only because their are many sects of liberalism, For example, Sanders and Krugman agree, all corporations are evil should be heavily taxed, and lorded over as if government owns them. However, when it comes to single payer...Krugman argues Sanders is clueless, this will bankrupt the country, and sided with Hillary.
 It isn't an issue of me stereotyping, these issues are coming from the liberal camp. The same liberal camp that is now having serous problems with PC Liberals now disrupting town halls...just as they harassed the crap out of Hynix, and why few were surprised they bailed, and this property couldn't be sold for eons even at a steal of a buy.


He is both a right wing and left wing populist.  But unlike Trump he has over 70% of the country supporting him.

However Stewart I would think he would be up your alley just like Trump.   Consider,  Duterte’s, “You propaganda media of the West, you animal, fu$$ you!”

However to call leftists the ones lacking class and rational thinking is a stretch even from the always deflecting far right reaches of your mind.   Maybe the far right wing Councillor in Niagara  might make you revisit your views (nahh I know they won't) and revise your assessment.


Not a good visitor market because they do not stay in hotels..  Many will come and simply overstay and take American jobs.  PI is killing drug dealers by the thousands....would you rather be in Hawaii where they share a large presence in ice (meth) distribution or the PI where people are murdered by  Dictator/Strongman Rodrigo Duterte for using and dealing drugs.  US border protection will be hopeless.  Drugs, guns and human trafficking which is already a problem and it is heading our way.  It is easy to hide in 25% of the Hawaiian population. Hawaii is a good place to hide out and blend in.....safe from police an immigration enforcement.


Unfortunately the media coverage we see is primarily focused on the "alt-right" agitators and the "alt-left" social justice warriors.  I think the vast majority of Canadians are normal, well-informed people that don't affiliate with those two extreme positions and are frustrated with the rising rhetoric and hyperbole.  I consider a well-informed Canadian the type of person that would stand up for someone or a group that is being mistreated in the moment (we've seen this happen), but not someone that would attend protests or counter protests for the sake of media coverage to advance a certain cause.  I think it is the type of person that when hearing a racist rant, either privately, or publicly, would simply disassociate with that individual or group, rather than try to pick a fight or argue with someone with deeply ingrained hate.  Tina Fey was right, let's not protest the protestors, create more confrontation, and further fuel the cycle.  Let's just be good supportive citizens.


In a minority government, Andrew Weaver has stated he will support the Clark.

The responsible Green voter, 70% who look at the NDP as a second choice, knowing his vote is needed to head off 4 more years of the foul stench of corruption in Victoria and another thousand dead kids in Ministry custody, looking forward to the NDP's promise of proportional representation making his next election choices much easier, and profoundly disappointed in Andrew Weaver's support of the sextupling of BC's Debt to the worst per capita in Canada with the foolish commitment to the wreck of the river scam producing unneeded power at enormous cost for the sole purpose of stuffing the pockets of BC Liberal cronies on Howe Street, will make the only possible choice - a giant x beside the NDP candidate.

Gordon Campbell's former chief of staff explains why the thinking voter needs to support the NDP and absolutely must reject the not so Green Party.

Assault on a federal officer?  Martha Stewart went to Federal prison just for lying to one!


Another example of the media desperate to diss Trump.  With millions of illegals they report on a few tens or hundreds who choose to illegally enter Canada.  By the way, cross country skies make the passage much easier and they need to consult some locals or check the internet for proper clothing.


There are no 'losses' relative to the US dollar.  The exchange rate between two independent currencies is ultimately a function of purchasing power parity.  and moves very generally as a function of interest rate parity.   Further, the currency markets are subject to high volatility and speculators and rarely reflect the actual relationship in purchasing power parity; however, over longer term and particularly in the case of the USD/CAD where barriers are low and volume of trade high, on average the exchange rate is within a narrow range about the actual relative to other currency pairs.  Currencies are not commodities or financial investments, they are currencies; and as such the media's articulation of exchange rate in terms of daily gains or losses is amateur and unsophisticated.  The more accurate articulation is that a decrease in the value of CAD relative to USD reflects an excess supply of CAD in the open market, or less of a demand for CAD in exchange for USD.

Yeah, it's just a flag.  Just like the flag that we're supposed to stand up and salute before the game starts.  Or, it's just a song, like the one we're supposed to take our hats off for.  Or a meaningless pledge , which we are drilled to mindlessly recite from kindergarten.


What happens when millenials don't buy houses?

1) no need to guess...cause we're about to find out!
2) ok, if I have to guess my guess is:  don't worry Rob!  The reasons millenials have given up in the first place is that our parents' generation put this whole country up for sale already.  Don't worry your little head, all the boomers will fuel their retirements by selling of Canada piece by piece to the highest bidder, whoever that may be!

As long as they get their toys all the way to the grave then they're happy.  And since they hold all the cards, that's all that actually matters.


Of course, our government is quietly trying to legislate that opportunity out of existence.


I would argue that the fix is not reducing management, but rather improving management.  In healthcare it seems doctors and nurses become managers, and although they may be fantastic doctors or nurses, they are not good at being managers.  Healthcare could really use more professional managers who would find efficiencies using the resources at hand.


Yeah where is your moral outrage at Griffin, at the play in New York, at Evergreen College, and Berkeley, yeah HYPOCRITE


I think this is substandard journalism.    At a minimum, the language used in journalism should clearly communicate to the common reader.  The phrase "calls out" is not clear.   Perhaps it means "accuses", perhaps, "objects to", perhaps it means "whines about"?    Also, journalism should be about issues of common interest.  Why are the emotional states of random people a matter of common interest?  Why should a general reader care that someone is very angry about Trump being elected.  I am sure people would have been angry if Clinton were elected.  Would there have been stories about how furious someone was that "that woman!" was elected?  If so, I would be "calling out" the "journalist" who filed THAT story.


Wow! Check out the Slime Banks! Pretty big area.

See, but you said "determined by judges".  The law is the law.  Interpreted by judges, not determined.  To read into a law more than what is written, as towards intent, is supposition to me.  Da judge was supposed to compare what the EO said as written, then compare w/ the current statute, as written.  He didn't do that.  He brought in outside language in the form of hearsay and added that to the mix.  That is not judging.  It is activism.  Then he used conjecture to rule that even though a harm did not occur to anyone, U.S. citizen or no, because (in his opinion) it possibly COULD that that rose to a level of standing.  At least to him.  Surely, you can agree.  Therefore, his "ruling" was faulty to begin with.  Probably politically driven.  Oops!  Conjecture your honor!


Wrong again.  I say it all the time in public.  If you don't like freedom of speech, move to Russia.  Trump is popular there.


When we have people like Pete Kelly and John Coghill in the legislature can we expect any better? You folks who keep voting oil pigs into office keep getting what you deserve, lousy and corrupt State government.


It was just one example.  My point, in case you missed it, is that we should be able to do SOMETHING to prevent these events.  Just as we should be able to do SOMETHING to take better medical care of our citizens.  But we cower to the NRA and big private insurance monopolies and big pharma.  Other countries (MOST other countries) have figured these things out, but we can't?


Good. Let the USA feel fear.


He's preaching the Gospel in a secular, humanist culture that "bleaches out strong religious convictions in the name of liberal tolerance, " where Catholics are abandoning the church of our baptism to the new 'church' of our ambitions and appetites."

"Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction.  For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires."

So more people being unable to afford health insurance is a benefit?

If you think premiums were going up to fast now, wait until the GOP is done. 50% of Americans won't be able to afford health insurance.


$250 k in 2017 is upper middle class.

$250,000 in Ontario pays $97 thousand tax or an average of 39%.  Thanks to our progressive tax system. the 1% pay a lot more. than the rest of the taxpayers. BTW the US1% make roughly three times what the Canadian 1% makes. Their tax base is huge.

The income disparity in Canada is more a result of rich foreigners coming to Canada, 8,000 last year.
They bid up our real estate and pay little Canadian taxes.


Sounds as if the Government is trying to ease in a "Sale Tax" and not remove other taxes.


Even worse... international trade is handled by Chrystia Freeland.


Seems to me it's lack of funding that is the main culprit. What's she supposed to do without enough trained caseworkers to do the job?
The lack of funding is in the legislature, that would rather give money to big oil than fund a program that is an absolute necessity to keep children safe.


Jon Snow, you know nothing.  C'mon now, you can't find anything positive to print about the party these days.


I note that there are 'nearly 80 interviews' featured in the documentary.
I'd bet my house that none of those interviews involve any of three specific people of some historical importance - all born in 1946 - all avoiding military service in the 60s - and all willing (and eager?) to send young people into battle when they had the authority to do so - BC, GWB and DJT.
Come September , it will be interesting to see if anyone has the temerity to call this documentary 'fake news'.


Anti-gun liberals think I have mine to protect me from the left...they're also to protect me from the "right", believe it or not.

You are right! I'll delete and repost with the correction. Thanks for that.

Meanwhile, a 2-year old reference is not that old. And I stand by my rant. I expect politicians and activists to support a woman's legal right to an abortion, and I expect the Church to encourage thoughtful reflection on the morality of abortion instead of funneling its theology through a political party hostile to the poor its supposed to have an option for.


There comes a time when businesses contract, cut back spending and lay off valuable employees. The state and the MOA have cut funding for vacant and unfilled positions, but have not laid-off or furloughed a single government employee. Departments have been using money appropriated for ghost employees for years.
We have to fund government at sustainable levels and this means cutting back. Like Rep. Harriet Drummond said years ago on the Anchorage Assembly, "...it's just one less latte a week." We'll, cut the BSA 5%, it's just one less latte a week.


Worthless unless you now go into your communities and volunteer. Anchorage commissions don't work without volunteers to fill vacancies. Vote in local elections. Showing up o march is easy. Actually working in your community to make it better for all takes time, effort and commitment.


Trudeau promises  $675 million to the CBC.

Is that  state controlled media or only state bought media?


Thank you Ken Green for pointing out this potential atrocity.  After reading your letter, I did some research into who Kneeland Taylor is, and what he stands for.  I will be writing Gov Walker to urge him to neither nominate, nor confirm Kneeland Taylor to the board of game, as he is an obvious threat to Wildlife, Alaskans, and the Alaskan way of life.  I will be asking all of my friends to also write the Governor, voicing their concerns about this impending threat to all that makes Alaska great.  The last thing we need on the Board of Game, is an unethical Lawyer that would promote his unreasonable and radical views of wildlife in Alaska.


Goodbye Hugh Glass 61. Too far off the article topic for me to bother responding any longer here.


Mr. D. Murrell.....I'm sure Trudeau has instructed his minions to bury the costs so someone short of being a forensic accountant couldn't find the total amount.

However, we do know some of the 'eligible' benefits that the Syria refugees were eligible to receive once granted refugee status:
   - a husband & wife would receive approx. $1,798/mo for two years, after which they would be transferred to the province where they reside and collect the rate of that province.
   - for each child under 6 yrs, the parents would receive $6400/yr ($533/mo) under the Child Benefit Plan; if the child was age 6 to 17, the amount received would be $5400/yr ($450/mo)

For example, a 'refugee family' of parents plus 2 children under 6 yrs and two children ages 6 to 17 stand to collect ($1,798 + $1,066 + 900 = $$3,764/mo or $45,168/yr.

Oops!  Almost forgot to mention these benefits are tax-free; so  is the FREE medical, dental, optometrist, etc, etc.  And then we deny our wounded veterans what they need.


I hope some hungry cub reporter asks her and Chenault that very question.. in the interest of "open government" and "full disclosure" doing public business.  Where was any vote on this further frivolous expense for the state?


The naltrexone also removes the reinforcement / euphoria associated with using opiates -or alcohol,- making it a two-for-one treatment while it's in the client's system. If each use becomes less rewarding relapse becomes less likely in the long run. One can still get drunk on naltrexone, and can still take enough opiate to become stupid and even overdose... But it won't be euphoric.

At $1200/ injection plus ongoing support / counseling, it's still a lot less expensive than daily street opioids.


Oh enough with her. She could care less about speaking at Berkeley. She's already accomplished exactly what she set out to do - get coverage. Lots and lots of coverage.   Because media coverage = $$$


Please advise -

Please don't put conclusions in my mouth.....


It called attention to the issue.  And, it worked...at least it did for a bit, until the flag waving, Constitution-hating nazis and their draft dodging leader turned it into an attack on a private institution.


That fits with the overall industry loss rate of about 10% due to fraud.  It means that Medicare is no better or worse at finding and eliminating Fraud than the major insurers.


This is what you get when you elect Republicans
https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2017/07/28/this-is-what-you-get-when-you-elect-republicans/?wpisrc=nl_most&wpmm=1
It goes much further than their repugnant and disastrous effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act, but all the contemporary GOP’s pathologies could be seen there: their outright malice toward ordinary people, their indifference to the suffering of their fellow citizens, their blazing incompetence, their contempt for democratic norms, their shameless hypocrisy, their gleeful ignorance about policy, their utter dishonesty and bad faith, their pure cynicism, and their complete inability to perform anything that resembles governing. It was the perfect Republican spectacle.


We Liberals are so abysmally tolerant that you might say we are beyond absurd! We buy into the need for deficits, you know, to ramp up the middle class whom we are continuing to outsource and export like there is no tomorrow. That's what globalism is all about. We can understand the error of our "Dear Leader" when he forecast $10billion per year borrowing for three years followed by a year of balanced budgets. And bango right after the election he told us ever so nicely that we will be borrowing $130billion over three years with no balanced budget. And since then the Department of Finance says we will have a two trillion dollar deficit by 2055, the largest ever by a multiple for a nation of our population size. And to add to that, our economy is not really in good shape and prospects are dim. But we are Liberals, ever so dutiful to our leader no matter how arrogant and godawful incompetent he and his finance Minister truly are. Absurd to believe that any informed person would be OK!


Denny,  most countries including ours have a mixed economy with both elements of socialism and capitalism. Trump isn't going to change that. If you're looking for pure capitalism, you're never going to find it.


Don't feel so bad for the guy. After all he did still manage to make $45 million last year.


Alright, alright, we get it.

Just set a target - say 100,000 to 200,000, book every hotel room in Toronto and Vancouver and start sending planes to pick them up.

Our elections are already entrusted to the USPS, when people vote absentee.


What I find most alarming is the way the media portrays Trump.
By so doing, the media is slowly destroying the respect and perception of the office of POTUS because  of their own personal vendetta against Trump.
Granted that Trump is impulsive and has several obvious flaws, a little bit of restraint is needed by the media.
I can imagine if Trump released 150 billion to the Russians like Obama "gave away" to the Iranians. The media people would all be in psychiatric units. Yet very few media organisations reported it then.
My point is that restraint is required on the part of the media. Report the facts and not spin a narrative  otherwise the only losers are Americans and the only winners  are the Russians/North Koreans who will be happy to deal with a weakened, severely divided and paranoid left leaning/right leaning USA.


You're absolutely right. I do not want to contribute to any of the problems in Alaska. I'd rather contribute to the solutions! I thin k the liberals are the problems.

Very useful list that enables screening and distillation down to a small list of prospective investment candidates. While a personal preference issue, I do take exception to the rather flimsy quality criteria used to arrive at the top 20. Quality is subjective, but I prefer longer term criteria than a twelve month ROE. The stability of sales, earnings and cash flow generation over a number of years driven by low operating and financial leverage is preferable.


Bullshit!!! I was on this jury and you don't know what you are talking about! You weren't there to hear everything or see the evidence! I was Not lazy or incompetent! One member of that jury did not at all follow the judges instructions and let emotion influence his verdict and stated he knew by definition of the law, that he was proved guilty!


That's a pretty bold statement.  I remember a lot of people saying the same thing about digital tapes and laser disc.  What makes you think foldable will be any better, or for that matter, any cheaper?

Sources please.


She should apologize right after Ted Nugent apologizes for threatening to shoot Obama.


How about just letting the provinces decide if they want their own carbon tax?  What works in BC won't necessarily fly in Sask. or NS.  Or if Ontarians want to deep six their economy even further they can re-elect Wynne with her opaque cap and trade plan.   Oh but wait, reducing government bloat is not a Liberal principle, so best to ensure duplication wherever possible.


That's it?


I think you need a new accountant if you are paying 25 to 35 percent of your income to the IRS. Do you really care how much the federal government gets in taxes from Alaskans? Maybe you do, which would explain why you supposedly pay so much of your income in taxes. Thanks for helping reduce the federal deficit.


The article explained this about shop lifting. “A first-time shoplifting conviction, for an amount below $250, is a fine instead of jail. By the third conviction, the penalty is six months of probation. If that person violates probation, they could be put in jail.”  So, it’s all about convictions. After the third conviction the perp faces probation. Wow, that’s severe.  Violate again, after four priors, and perhaps jail. Meanwhile, before the convictions mount up, the perp is going through the inconvenience of a written summons while committing more crimes. This situation reminds me of a friend who disciplined her children by making them sit alone in a room for five minutes. Following that the child resumed with obnoxious behavior.


Incorrect.  Someone who says "diversity is our weakness" may be absolutely fine with immigration but be expressing a view that accepting all diversity of traditional cultural expressions over what is acceptable in a modern, gender-egalitarian Canada is our weakness.  That by not expecting immigrants to drop certain diverse practices in favour of what's acceptable today in Canada is our weakness.  (Again, I'm not saying whether or not I agree.)  But because you are a liberal/progressive you jump to censor, will not allow the expression ("then you shouldn't use that phrase"), will not consider an exploration of the person's meaning, so you have no option but to lay your own narrow assumptions over the opinion expressed.  I hope you know this.  And (again incorrect assumption) I'm not "dude".


The Bernie or Bust people...the purity patrol riding their high horse on the low road. And just what is it that they hope to accomplish at this point? I'm a lifelong liberal who supported Sanders but I live in the real world...the world in which a Trump presidency would be an extinction level event for American Democracy.

I couldn't care less about their holier than thou protest. The only thing it accomplishes is it helps Trump. At this point, the Busters don't give a rat's patoody about anything but themselves...ie that woman in the picture with the button...that picture screams "look at me, look how pure I am". Each of them are part of a personal identity cult, not a political movement.

Enter the real world, people. If you think there's no difference between Trump and Clinton then you're not qualified to vote anyway...so go ahead and stay home on election day. Or...vote for Trump...that'll  really show 'em...NOT!


You all realize that Minnesota is only doing this as a precaution incase Bradford, and then his backup go down. They have no intention of playing Sloter, ever. Most likely Bradford starts and plays the entire game.

The only real news here is that Leary gets to play Sunday. That is a big plus for Denver.


Based on EWEB's  poor financial decisions over the last decade or so, I certainly do not want SUB to partner with them in any way shape or form!

Springfield should not bail out EWEB's prior stupidity or combine with them on any new stupidity.


I wonder if this the guy that crashed his police vehicle in Hawaii Kai. They found him in the passenger seat of his car but does not know who drove his car... If it is,  his credibility is shot.


I don't know what's more impressive--that you think you speak for all of Florida, or that you think you can predict upcoming elections before they are even announced.

Let me guess, you also swore to "Hillary in a landslide."


Hi TheBlackCloud, I'm Maureen. I would probably best be defined  politically as a progressive liberal. I DO NOT LOVE UBER AND LYFT. I think they were thought up by a bunch of young guys who wanted to make a ton of money, and saw a way. Unfortunately they were young guys who didn't have a lot of world experience and didn't think to consider regulatory, liability and safety issues. Folks that like/use them tend to gather on the money saving pole-without a lot of thought to the greater implications. The whole system is gaming around the money-not the service.

So if I call for a cab-does that make the cab company a ride-booking company? Uber and Lyft are no different-just easier to book because they have an app.

Anyone conducting business in the state of Alaska should be expected to abide by certain regulatory and safety concerns related to that business.


where do the citizenry take this case to, then?  to the criminals (the administration and the congress) themselves?  obviously all three branches of the government are owned by the same small group, and the 99% of the citizens are not in the group.  what for the citizens to do then is clear as the day.


Dear Logic News.

I am confused.

You wrote:  "was a biggest joke".

The Russian language does not have a definite article (i.e. "the").

What can we therefore infer from your post, LogicNews?

Thank you.


John, all's most Americans (not liberals of course) are asking is for our immigration laws to be respected. Unfortunately millions from south of our border show no such respect. The ones that do not, deserve the contempt they are being shown.


Too tunnel-visioned of you, James.  I much prefer an independent thinker.


The non-reaction is because a lot of the public actually believe the (obvious) lies they are being told (and see).  That is not because we are becoming mature, it means we are getting more and more ignorant as time passes . .

Wake up.


If it doesn't apply to private industry or the workplace why do companies have to hire women and minorities. Seems like they should be able to refuse service to anyone.


There is sleazy, very sleazy and Kathleen Wynne
There is silly, very silly and the Ontario Liberal voter

The result? Nine successive quarters of business investment decline in Canada, most of that has been in Ontario, thanks to Wynne's atrocious conduct on the energy and business development files.  Tragic for Ontario, tragic for Canada.


Of food. Let the majority of the herd perish on the islands during a hard winter rather than capture & move them to shore locations.


"The CIA's findings that Russia intervened in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump win the presidency are both “stunning and not surprising,” the next leader of Senate Democrats said, raising the need for Congress to conduct a full investigation."

I"m sorry Todd but your comparison to an inert physical cane to a dog capable of maiming or killing a human being is ridiculous.
If you have a trained seeing eye guide dog, you've spent thousands of dollars in purchasing the animal then being trained as handler 'team' before you take possession.   I doubt your family would have a problem with such an animal.   It is not an easy thing for a trainer to fully prepare a dog and partner for the public.   Lot's of dogs that start training, fail, as they should.


Not that it matters.


Roy, you're so adorbs!

My services are in demand - but I'm afraid that what I do is none of your business.    Thanks for asking, though!

Given that President Trump's (!) victory in November came as a surprise, any increase attributable to him is amusing - central rates and the Fed haven't moved.     Beyond that, though, any economist will tell you that a low and steady rate of inflation are to be pursued for a healthy economy.    I suggest you educate yourself on the issue - you'll thank me in your prayers.

Aren't you excited for the prospect of untold thousands of new American jobs, Roy?    You'll be able to achieve financial independence in short order very soon with just a little bit of willingness to work and a cheery can-do attitude!     Now that's a win/win.


"Creative destruction" - this is an old notion much used by acquisition and merger "geniuses", and in many cases it makes sense, saves a few jobs (though fewer worker pensions) and makes bundles of money for those with the leverage to purchase seriously frayed businesses, which some would say, described GM and Chrysler. However, the bailout also saved small shops that produced things such as thermostats, brakes, power steering pumps, auto glass, power window motors, alternators, gaskets, specialty bolts and nuts, and the hundreds of other specialty products that go into making a car.

At the beginning of a years-long recession, 2009 wasn't the right time to pull the rug out from under millions of workers in a region we call "The Rust Belt".

Your admirable (though speculative) future industries and products can still come about through hard work by the private sector, most likely subsidized to some needed extent by the federal government.


Love it: splitting hairs, contradiction, dogmatic imperialism, narcissistic arrogance, epistemology, idealism, realism, phenomenology... and, ah yes discernment and the practical realism of getting on with it. Canadians, dealing with the Stanley Cup playoffs deal with these sublime quandaries on a nightly basis.  Sadly, as with "youze" Americans and baseball, rather than pondering the philosophical underlays of these fundamental questions that occupied Parmenides, Socrates, Plato, Descartes, Kant and Benedict XVI, we just throw a bottle (empty of course), or similar exhortation, on behalf of the entire Boston fan base, at the Ottawa Senator players or go for a brew or two and vent.
Serious Catholics have a simpler answer on the less important "theologies": do now; guilt after, then fagget it.
The teaching mission - missed opportunity - of Church is clear: discernment in community with wisdom.
Did I miss "sexism"?


Let's say every state actually gave up everyone's personal voter information to the feds.  With nearly 200 million names, does anyone actually believe this "commission" could find
much more than the already statistically insignificant (between 30 and 40 convictions over 1 billion votes since 2001; vastly majority of them CITIZENS) within the next three years (before next presidential election)?  The fact that someone may be registered in multiple states does NOT constitute voter fraud.


Only time will reveal the depth of pubic service the new President will be rendering to the Nation....some where I still have a film tape of "Alaska b Jay Hammond" in which Hammond played him self in the film...Hammond was an Alaskan and his action were driven by Alaskan dreams and Trump is responding Needs of a Nation that is clearly off track and in far greater trouble than anything Alaska would could ever face in Hammonds days...Both men arrived at the door of Public Service having taken two very different trails.


Exactly right!   I have concerns about fake news every time i read a piece by Saunders.


Yes, Cory Gardner should vote no, but I guarantee he won't.  Pleasing the Republican Party, Trump, and the Kochs far outweigh any concern for the health and welfare of Coloradans.  He is the embodiment of everything that is wrong in politics today.


Simple items, such as what I call, "frazzle head bands and bracelettes." Consisting of expandable band with strips of whatevers worn around your head, arms, legs, and wrists.


Of course they asked Erick the why and he said, "The dude smoked all my pot."  Do you believe Erick?  Nope.


Odd way to show it indeed. All of this just shows how incredibly fair weather sports fans Anchorage residents are. UAA hasn't consistently been winning since forever ago. They might have a one off season like they did a couple years ago but they'll never be competing for conference championships or NCAA tourney bids. If they were, people would be showing up. The Aces, on the other hand, were winning so much people became complacent and took it for granted. Now they haven't been winning and residents are abandoning them too. Also, minor league sports is a hard industry to make a profit in and I don't know how long the Aces can operate in a league where most of their opponents reside in the Central Time zone. Anchorage should have a WHL team. The skill level would be higher, and their main competition would be in BC/ WA/ OR.


hair furor's goons are feeling frisky and empowered.


At what point do we say that there is no chance of sustainable opportunity on these ancestral lands and stop throwing money at them? I know that gov's are wearing the guilt of a colonial past, but at some point don't we have to arrive at the conclusion that modern amenities and remote communities are mutually exclusive options?

Is it not then incumbent upon the inhabitants of remote communities to decide to either live off the land exclusively or leave for a place with more opportunity?

Would it not then stand to reason that government/taxpayer dollars are more effectively invested in skills training for those who opt to leave, as skills would be required for these migrants to integrate into modern society?  For those who wish to stay, apart from health care services (which should definitely be provided), wouldn't they have all that they desire/require?

I'm not trying to be inflammatory.  I just think that treating symptoms rather than root-causes is an ineffective use of resources.


The price will have to be pretty cheap to  counter the black market.....an untold danger is that the peddlers might start discounting weed to  capture and hold clientele for other drugs. Criminals usually outsmart the government.


Well I think the one thing I would ask the CIA is how involved in hacking foreign countries are you?  Of course there would be a long list of denials from them.  This would make them liars.

It's well known that the US hacked the PLC's for the nuclear centrifuge program in Iran.  They spun the centrifuges out of control wrecking them all and setting back Iran's nuclear program years.  Of course we applaud that but it just shows the type of things that the US is doing and is capable of.  You can be certain that wasn't their first or last hacking foray.

I'm afraid they can't cast the first stone.  So Obama, the CIA and the FBI  should save the faux outrage about hacking.  They know it's been going on and they are doing the same thing.  This is about Obama's ego.


C’mon, Chinese lives matter!


Annie, I was going to reply to Jay Edward, but your reply is pithier than the one I was going to post.  Well done.


I remember many years ago on the Oakway golf course running into Chris Miller (then the duck QB) about this time of year.  He made a point to tell me he was playing there instead of the ECC because if Rich Brooks had found out he way playing golf while nursing a thumb injury that he'd be kicked off the football team.  Oh how times have changed.


Whatever happened to "Drain the Swamp!!". How stupid do the current Republican politicians think US voters are?


150 KM range...so, on my recent summer vacation, for which I had one-week off...instead of driving on gasoline and taking five hours...I would have needed to charge the vehicle three times during the trip there, and back?  So...a couple of days in hotels instead of at the lake?  For a small non-luxury car that costs $40K or more?
No thanks.

I guess the Christmas drive to visit family would be much worse though, as the need to generate heat would drain the battery range even more (no internal combustion, no free heat).

Look forward to governments explaining the hundreds of billions of dollars needed for electrical grid upgrades to allow for 10-15% of the vehicle fleet having huge electricity draws.


Who the heck is Ahmed Hussen?


Is there a heterosexual celebration day with parades and all? Try a little humility. Nothing proud about celebrating being gay, only vanity. My own opinion, FWIW, is that the Bible says it is wrong so therefore it is wrong. Tearing that page out does not make it right.


Well he looked and sounded a lot more sincere than Obama!  He's clearly a lot more sincere than Hillary too!


But whom will be making the martini's?


My heart goes out to this woman. Mental illness and addiction are as emotionally and financially devastating to family members as the disease is debilitating to the addict.  Help is difficult to obtain, and too often in the public health care system psychiatrists are too quick to make a diagnosis and prescribe medication. Addicts can be charming people whose addiction makes them manipulative, needy and aggressive when they don't get what they want. Sometimes addicts may have personality disorders such as NPR (narcissistic personality disorder) that cannot be medicated and require weekly psychological therapy and a co-operative patient for progress to occur. Too often patients who have other mental illnesses that do respond to medication go off their meds when they begin improving. It's easy for people who haven't lived with such an individual in their lives to authoritatively toss out one of those judgemental  'Just do X or Y' lines, but until you've lived it, you don't get it.


I guess the free market is a bad thing according to Trump.  The Republican party need to change it's platform to crony capitalism now and forever, we will pick the losers and winners.
Current winner will be coal and corn ethanol.  Losers will be the environment.


There are 41 other communities in the world at equal or a more northern latitude, only one of which has a higher population than Barrow. Only 7 of those are in North America (5 in Canada, two in Greenland). The media is interested in the name change, and Barrow is special to us Alaskans. Let them be.


CleanupEugene, what do you think is funny about a harmless student being stabbed through his heart by a mentally ill homeless man for no reason? Is it the same thing you find amusing about threatening another poster with genital mutilation, performed by yourself?


So much for the Republican Party.  It's soon to be, if not already, irreversibly splintered.
"Katie Walsh, Trump's former deputy chief of staff, confirmed that the super PAC she now advises – America First Policies – is planning a "seven figure" advertising buy in Nevada targeting Heller. If more GOP senators come out against the bill, they could be targeted in the coming days as well, she said."


He's not crazy, he is a millennial. Entitled brat raised without a conscience.


Labelling Angela Merkel the "moral leader" of the Western world is a bit of a stretch. No "moral leader" would ever inflict a deluge of a million unvetted gate-crashers on his or her country.


"Building safety is a provincial jurisdiction"

True.
But public safety is a matter for all levels of government and the feds may have a duty (they certainly have the right) to get involved when it's clear that lower-tier governments are not doing what is required.

In the case of unsafe development next to interprovincial pipelines and railways, the feds clearly have a role in keeping people safe. There should be a federally-mandated minimum setback from pipelines and freight railways for 'high-consequence' sites like schools, seniors' facilities, hospitals, transit hubs, arenas, high-rises, etc.

At this point there is no national standard in either Canada or USA. South of the border several states and municipalities have enacted sensible set-back requirements. In most cases these were implemented in the aftermath of a major incident.

Canada has never had a catastrophic pipeline incident. The possibility of one seems to be the furthest thing from the minds of city planners.


Djou has Ben on his shoulder, that means in short "Catch the Bus People"  Ironically neither D or B ever have a need for a bus ride.


Having read the comments, I would be interested in interviewing any of the commentators who are willing.


Playing too much Grand Theft Auto.


The clown ship is sinking!  Abandon ship!


I'm glad they included the cost per patient. Almost forgot that figure.


I want to know about the man's dog. He probably went to the lawyers to seek help with a lawsuit, then the newspaper for help publicizing his incident with the dog. What happened to the dog?


Congratulations on your work, and thank you for your respectful response. The medical concern revolves around the joints and cartilage; the best recommendation I've seen has to do with cross training. Weights, swimming, basketball etc. In hindsight, it is a better, more balanced approach. But, your right about it being individual. I'm 60, and except for injury, I'm doing OK


It's the Mark 1 Eyeballs inside that it effects.


Oh yes, i am down with it all. can't touch this...baby got back...you're my dog ... all kinds of stuff like that.
  you didn't mention my lack of the use of caps - i respect that.


Except for all those complaints about FOX news right?  So much for it only coming from the right.


Catholic Gulag?  Seriously?  Your comments are very weird. Almost like a Scientology apologist run amok.

Reach out, there is help.


This bill is not an Obamacare replacement. Tax breaks for the rich is not a lie, it is the very raison d'etre (look it up) for this bill.
The upper 10% didn't like the taxes in Obamacare, so the Republican plan repeals those taxes and makes up for it by cutting federal money for Medicaid. Most states won't be able to absorb the extra costs, so low-income people will get the short end of the stick.


Maybe that was true decades ago... But in 2017 cities that invest in transit are now reaping the benefits of changing tastes and attracting good jobs and talented people. Notice how Amazon made transit a factor in their HQ siting choice? They didn't do that because Amazon likes transit. They did that because the people Amazon wants to hire like transit.


It's wrong to criticize her, even if she ultimately decides to do absolutely nothing as first lady. Leave her and their young son alone. The elder children are active enablers of their father and are open to any deserved criticism, but Barron is just a kid. Even the younger daughter Tiffany seems to just want to stay out of things, and I'm inclined to let her.


That is IF the supreme court decides to issue the writ.  Why should they?  They have already reviewed the case.  The Supreme Court only takes cases from a lower federal court when the appeal involves the U.S. Constitution. Thus, the person making the appeal must show that his or her rights, under the Bill of Rights, were denied, or that some error was made in the court that affected their due process rights.  The Executive order by POTUS will stand and this request for clarification is simply that, a request for clarification only.


Actually he resigned as an MP and doesn't get paid by the federal purse. However he has been drawing a salary and living expenses from a PAC-like fund set up by UCP supporters. Very much like the puppet candidate that was run against Calgary mayor Nenshi.


It' a freaking Library, not a mental ward.


No wonder people don't trust politicians.


Ray Novak:  Steve Harper’s Closet Confidant

He used to live above Canada’s ex Conservative Prime Minister Steve Harper’s garage.  Now he’s the second most powerful man in Ottawa.

“Ray is effectively the Prime Minister’s closest confidant,” enthuses one government official. “Not only as a member of his staff, but as a personal and intimate member of the Prime Minister’s life.”

Just everything involving the government, which is warranted these days.


Despite the fed's coffer and our drivers being taxed, Hawaii remains alarmingly unable to MAINTAIN existing public infrastructure.  As costly burdens inevitably migrate upon property owners, the price of paradise accelerates beyond the reach of all locals, notwithstanding.  You see, if these woes exist before Rail, adding Rail will hardly solve this, but rather, magnify the failure when having to MAINTAIN a vastly increased public infrastructure.


if 24 is a youth, why do we allow 'youths' to fight and die in wars?


why dont you go ask trudeau since he continued the deal then hypocrite


Hi Stan
It is true that the ANC has done a lot to improve the lives of especially the very poor - including very poor whites, coloureds and Indians who also qualify to benefit from *some* ANC programmes (water povision, sanitation, electricity access, housing) and this should be acknowledged.

The point is that they could and should have done so much more, given the excellent basic infrastructure that they inherited, the goodwill from other nations etc.

The fact that they have done some good can in no way excuse the loting of public resources and destruction of the economy that has taken place over the last 10 years under Zuma.
Your argument is like saying HIteler was not such a bad guy and Germans were right to vote for him because he built Autobahns, developed the motor industry and provided close to full employment.
yes, he did all thiose things, BUT......

It is also unture to suggest that 23 years is insufficient time to grow the economy - China, Malaysia, Chile etc have done it.


As long as a lib is running the country,
they'll sell us out. Kick these commies

No, the Mirror doesn't know either. It just had a picture.

At this point, other news sources say it was a radicalized Muslim known to police, which would not release his name.


What was really troubling is the source of the quotes, their lack of context, and the way they are compiled in an effort to marginalize President Obama.  Clearly, he's not a Muslim: but what if he were? What in the world would be wrong with that?


See this where we can depict who gets it and who doesn't?  And you Bryant, don't get it and probably never will. You're right, people take pictures at parties to remember past experiences.  This video however was taken in manner that has deception and despicable written all over it.  You can't say that the person or persons shown in the video knew that they were being filmed.  From my personal vantage point, everyone in the room believed it was a PRIVATE conversation.  For that particular reason the person who shot the video decided to bring it down and then gave a pretty pathetic apology as to why he did so.


Do you believe Fox News, or are they also part of the Vast Liberal Conspiracy?

"Shortly after walking outside, the president looked up at the sky, squinted and pointed upward.

'Don't look,' one staffer yelled from the White House lawn.

Trump then donned the protective eyewear. Asked about the view, Trump gave a thumbs up."

Agreed.
My issue would be owning a car the manufacturer could access like a cell phone and issue "updates" without my consent.  Not far from a world where your financed car won't start if you aren't up to date on your loan.


Peggy, I read that as "Maybe he could challenge The Donald to lunch?".

Images of American-style competitive eating competitions immediately came to mind, complete with bulging chipmunk cheeks and quivering chins covered in dribbles of mayonnaise, ketchup, and corn relish. Oh my! A food competition starring the revered Yankee hot dog? Or would it the New York strip? (Well done, with ketchup.) What an amazing public relations event that would be.

Sometimes, aging eyes can provide unexpected comedy.


Saving health care for millions is stupid? How do you mean that?


Trudeau rewards terrorists, terrorizes small business. What has this world come to?


Black rights groups are reminding us that the only thing that matters is race. The naive call for people to be judged on character and not the colour of their skin, does not work in practice. We are defined by our race, our race's pride and its achievements.

The only group that has not got the message is whites. Whites are still programmed to believe in a multi-racial nation. As BLM ramps up its protests, people will eventually realize they will be defined on their race whether they like it or not.


The fact that you wrote that comment doesn't mean that you're not racist.  Be careful.


Now everyone posting is suddenly a Civil War buff - way too funny.


Trans Canada's request may have more to do with the continuing depressed oil prices than with meeting the criteria and responding to pressure from provinces en route which accept risk for no benefit. No surprise that Gallant wants it to continue, it is only Alberta and New Brunswick that benefit directly.


Probably the Spirit does not give certainty, not for long anyway. Change is the constant. Or new perspectives. Thanks for your thought-filled reply John.


This means J. Prevo will still pay nothing along with any church property. Mega churches, the biggest money laundrying racket ever conceived. Render unto Ceasar what is Ceasars. That means Jesus said to pay your taxes. Not sleep with Ceasar  to get out of it and stick it to the neighbors you were suppose to love as yourself. Now every property owner and non-owner will still be paying slackers way.


Imagine if this had been Iran attacking civilians.. or Syria , or Russia..front page news but this is an ally so... all quiet on the western front.


George, can you point me to the last mass killing committed with a pencil, hammer or rock?....I didn't think so, meanwhile there were over 300 mass shootings in America last year!


"The exemptions allow tobacco use by Native American tribes..." Can be misleading.
The code states that "Where allowed by the Parks Manager for personal use by a member
of a federally recognized Oregon tribe as part of their traditional religious,
medicinal, or other customary cultural heritage practices."

It's not like tribal people are allowed to just ignore the law.


So "Mr Civility" and "ItsMe" are the same person. Noted.


I look at the far right freedom based web site where the page was all about how the government was intruding in you freedom. I did not indicate I had as I figure maybe you knew is was all BS.

Threatening Your Privacy Through an Unfunded Government Mandate

The federal government is trying to force states to turn your drivers license into a national ID. Unless you tell your state legislator to push back the Real ID Act will create grave dangers to privacy and impose massive financial burdens without improving national security in the least.

That quote if the first paragraph on the web page.  Nothing on the page details what information is required by the feds.  You web site, The Freedom Electronic Foundation.


I don't give money.  But I wouldn't tell you what you can or can't do with yours.  I think it's worthwhile to educate everyone why handing a drunk or drug addict cash is a bad idea, but after that it's your choice.


Well, I know some out of fit Canadians that walk like a duck. For that matter, there are several commentators on these boards that quack like ducks. I am sure they aren't ducks, just quacks.


Justin, I have to tell you the truth. The real reason the Europeans canceled CETA is that the Europeans don't want you and your impulsive and amateur Trudeau circus and sideshow coming to Brussels with you ripping off your shirt, doing a one armed hand stand and Sophie singing a song.


Wrong


At least he knows they will be legal to vote one day.
