Although this type of predatory activity is extremely rare - ie:(owl attacks dog being walked by it's owner and assuming in broad daylight), It is not out of the ordinary for  great horned owls to go after a small dog, as great horned owls are one of the most successful predators with the most diverse list of prey of all the predators. - If the owl can carry it away, it's fair game according to them.


Black cops using excessive force on white people isn't a national issue. This story has nothing to do with racism. This is about the tragedy of someone trying to do the right thing and getting killed for it. It is headlined accordingly. As this is all as obvious as can be, perhaps it is you who is being morally inconsistent and intellectually dishonest.


And to be further clear, a tax cut AND unbridled spending will definitely cause a deficit.  The debt will be incurred when the republicans borrow for the things they don't have money for.


The conspiracy of lies grows more complex with the honesty of trump on these matters.


I hate when people over exaggerate or try to manipulate the facts. Makes me want to support the other side regardless of the situation.


Old friends meet again. I wonder if Donny is going to give Lavrov a friendship medal to take back to Vlady? Also a note telling Vlady " I fired his ass "


I would think if the President of the United States saw one of his supporters being interviewed on TV having arrived 13 hours before the "rally" and then saw him in the audience and asked him up on stage, the polite thing to do before anything else would be to ask him what his name was...instead I had to wait until CNN Newscast host Pamela Brown interviewed him and introduced him as Gene Huber.

Manners...no longer important?


I feel Hillary is corrupt. I can't prove it, but I would not deny she has accepted bribes in some form. However, since the republicants have
1) Blocked the President's Supreme Court nomination and
2) Nominated a fool with no intelligence, political experience, and no discernible grasp on reality,
I will be voting for Clinton even if she is in handcuffs or her deathbed on November 8th. Which is a scenario I highly doubt will occur, given how fruitless the Benghazi hearings and email investigations have been.


That would be fine. Except: no education, no business experience, girlfriend or mommy and daddy got the loan (I am a millennial, but I asked for an AmeriTrade account for my 13th birthday - it was my dad's, but he gave me full access to it without any of his funding - and now own my own fidelity account and even high risk enough to invest in bitcoin). These people lived in a car in Portland and bragged about it to ADN. Here's $5000 a month to rent that spot with no business plan said the loan officer.


Did they "capitulate" or did the good old white guys of the 40+ "sign-back-into" the "make America great again like is was when we could burn and hang"?


Typing period at the end of the sentence does not make your weak and emotional argument any stronger. Bellichek would have cut him a season ago.

Ward was a liability in covering TEs, the past two seasons, and now with a hammy that kept him sidelined for six weeks -- he's not getting any faster. They only have 53 spots -- an aging veteran who has lost a step, and will likely be gimpy for at least a part of this season vs. giving emerging young players on rookies contracts valuable playing time and room to grow into their peak. Plus, now they get to sign Jamal Carter who may be a Chris Harris type find. If they cut lose him on waivers, they'll never know.

Period.


Oh, I dunno, Thomas.  An obsessive mother who kept every scrap of his childhood carefully squirreled away, and a son who "was completely unable to deal with her illness and death, and describes what followed as a “dark and blurry” period where he was severely depressed and couldn’t cope with life."

Not an excuse, of course.  But, part of the explanation.  Pieces of the puzzle...


How silly. Tell that to the Japanese, Germans, Singaporeans, Qatari...They may not run their countries according to our values, but they have prosperous and stable countries.


We want to ban guns, except for military and police of course.  But who are these military and police? What makes them so special?  And no, I mean no disrespect to military and police, I have been both. They deserve our support and I don't mean platitudes.  Back to the subject; Supposedly, anti-gun folks exempt military and police, good guys/gals with guns, because they've been vetted, trained, and they've taken an oath.  OK.  What about the hundreds of thousands of former LEO's and former military?  They've been vetted, trained, and taken oaths.  Are they saying that a soldier that's been vetted, trained and taken an oath and served two combat tours in the middle east and comes home can no longer be trusted with the right to bear arms?  How can that be?  Would a civilian that's had training be OK? Or do they have to take an oath too?  They've said the Pledge of Allegiance, does that count? Is it the vetting? Legal purchasers are vetted by the FBI. Does that count? What does it take?


That applies to anybody making projections on these threads too. Truth is, none of us have the foggiest.


Rinse, recycle and repeat...lets do it again...rinse, recycle and repeat!


The election process is in dire need of repair with this here which is a drop in the bucket.  In Nevada they had 3100 people more vote in the election that where registered in the voting precinct of around 10,000 registered voters. Studies estimated that 800,000 illegal immigrants voted in the election based on a sample of exit polling in several states. In the primary voting electronic machines where changing Votes from one party to the other.  We need to put safeguards in place to make sure our election is safe and accurate


"Off the cuff speaking" is a euphemism for fake news and lies.

After the resurrection, it is an entirely new ball game.  All the terminology and categories of the OLD LAW become obsolete, and the new terminology under the NEW LAW begins to evolve in the Acts of the Apostles, and continues to evolve afterwards as the Church's understanding of TIMELESS TRUTH deepens.  Since the end of apostolic times we already have the *complete* deposit of faith, but should not presume that we have exhausted all possible understanding of the deposit of faith.  There were no sacraments under the patriarchal Old Law, but since the Council of Trent (1563) we know that the sacramental New Law is composed of 7 sacraments.  I am sure that no new sacraments will be defined, but many questions remain about the meaning of the 7 sacraments and how the Church can enrich her life under the new sacramental covenant instituted by Christ.  Hang in there, we may have the first Holy Mother before 3000 AD! :-)


If it's been operated like it is in FAI, then it's already happening.


One would almost think MLSE and by extension, the Leafs are on the brink of being a "have not" operation. No need to pity MLSE nor any need to state the obvious. MLSE is a money making machine whose hockey team, like them or not, moves the TV dial much like Tiger did for golf. Now that the Leafs are competitive, the cash registers will be singing this Christmas as fans buy something/anything adorned with the Leafs' logo. Adding in TFC and the Raptors ,it is a safe bet the MLSE Board of Governors will likely not hear any bad news from their accountants anytime soon.


The NDP stumbled into power when the thoughtful Alberta vote was split between the right of center PC party and the right of right of center Wild Rose Party
-
Few Albertans believed Ms Notley and her misfit cast of yoga instructors , weed enthusiasts and nursery school aides could run the province

-
and our opinion of her political tact and savvy has , if anything , been overstated as the actions of her party have been truly damaging to Alberta and to Albertans

2019 cannot come soon enough


Nope, not true. They pay billions that are what are used to fund state government. Also, just so you know, the $700 million is not per year, but over many years. Just more propaganda. The truth is easy to find, just look a little.


I agree 100%.  I was just noting, as I think the author was, that access to birth control is not inherently equalizing. There's a bit of a danger, in thinking that poor women will be able to solve the problems of systemic racism and structured poverty  simply by controlling their own fertility. It's good and necessary that they be able to do so, but I think they are owed much more than the free exercise of that right.


If he is going to cut the PFD then where are the spending cuts for the State?
Giving up on the gas pipeline would be a good start.


I don't have an anti-car bias, but oddly enough I do have an anti-running-people-down-with-your-car bias.


buying a ICE car at this point is a waist of money . Look at an electric car . If you do you will never regret it.


So your reaction was in character.  What a revelation!  A non-traditionalist finding fault with CM!


Mr Trudeau's first speech on election night included reassuring his kids that they would always come first, his job came after them.  He articulates the millennials' view that it's not about money and consumption, it's about your "passions" and what they call "work-life balance".  This part-time job thing fits perfectly with that ethos, I'm sure millennials are happy about this trend.


We still don't know who signed the Chief Kealoha payoff check...


If only life (read: reality) was so simple...
The entire aircraft industry (everywhere) is 75% politics and 25% business. No plane manufacturer would survive without generous grants, subsidies and other forms of state intervention/support.
That applies to Boeing as well; that company's defense arm is the one that keeps the civilian side alive.
AC's Airbus fleet acquisition goes back to the Mulroney era and a certain Mr. Schreiber's 'activities'.
As for whether Embraer, or Bombardier - makes no particular difference; it is the clash of beggars, really.


No they've suddenly realized that if the GOP plan is successful, Catholic hospitals will be left with thousands of uninsured patients who, by law, they must treat, but won't be able to pay the bills.  When it comes to pronouncements by the bishops, follow the money first before you start looking for any reflection of the words of Christ.


Furthermore, they are certainly protecting a flow of money. If all Americans quit smoking overall public health would improve and these organizations would lose a huge amount of funds because diseases related to smoking to would start to disappear. Where do some of these funds come from? Donations yes. But also taxes on the very products they abhor. When the MSA money ran out, and they didn't use it for anti-tobacco education of course, they were forced to turn to taxes. States like California took out loans betting on cigarette taxes. But smoking rates have declined, in large part due to vapor products being a successful cessation aid when compared to other NRT's. As smoking rates decline the state finds that it cannot pay back the loans. So what's left to do besides continue to raise taxes(and they are)when the poor and underprivileged minorities are often the ones still smoking? Find something else to tax. The FDA has now deemed vapor tech as tobacco so that it can be taxed as such.


rape as a "beloved Christmas tradition???? You gotta be kidding!  I guess I've been hearing that song since I was a wee thing  65 years ago or so and have never thought of it as exactly what it is/was and that certainly had nothing to do with rape!


Hopefully the final nail in the BC Liberals Coffin


How is this news?


Yes, they are. So why does the US government support so many right-wing thugs?


Somebody needs to explain to Jughead the difference between a mistake and a contrived lie or else I'm going to be worried that he himself might be at risk of mistaking to Canadians.


Lets get some basic facts on the table,  Our govt of the day did not send him to be tortured, he was captured by the Americans taken to Baghram, given more medical  treatment and then sent to Guantanamo.  Further to this argument of him being a child soldier. Before the Optional Protocol on Child Soldiers that was drafted in 2000 a child soldier was anyone 14 and under,  at the time of his capture by the Americans, on 17 July 2002 he was fifteen almost sixteen, and the American Govt did not ratify the Optional Protocol until Dec 2002 therefore legally in an American Judicial setting he was not a Child Soldier.  The only setting that mattered in this case was theirs, we did not have custody of him.  The Liberal Govt of the day, PMJC and PMPM made no effort to return him to Canadian Control, in fact they allowed members of DFAIT and CSIS to go down there and interview/interrogate him.  One of the interview/interrogation are the basis for his Charter Breach


Do you have any more drama to add? Heres a news flash. People inhabit the planet also.  Good grief.


I read that each of those votes cost taxpayer $1.5 million. 60 votes. They owe us the $ back.


I've read that about 11 million Canadians are covered by these employer-paid benefits plans. The glaring lack of prescription drug coverage in our "universal" health care system is the primary gap that's being filled by the current system and the gap is politically sustainable in large measure as a result of the employer-paid plans. One has to assume the Canadian health care system was designed this way to appease private corporations, and particularly the insurance industry. A class-based analysis would surely conclude that it's mainly middle-class workers who benefit from the current system, but this is the same group of taxpayers that's been asked over the past three decades to furnish an increasing portion of government revenues while getting few direct benefits in return. It would certainly be interesting to see Trudeau's government start a class war against the same middle-class  voters it purports to champion.


stay in school kids


no he wont, the GOP are with trump on these 100%  poverty is up yes , during obama;s time, no more left wing nonsense time to get companies profitable and people working again!  get ready ignorant left wingers, you will not like the success trump is about to unleash


What do you think is a fair wage for an Oncologist? Just curious.


Arnold and Ronnie governed California...I'm concerned Trump may have a chance
when I think of those two and their "get tough" campaigns. Is it the dumbing down?


It's difficult for me to feel sympathy for people who go to dangerous countries/lands and then expect that their government or the United State government to do everything to get them out when they get kidnapped. Just like people who go to North Korea or on their border who get captured, get sent to prison camp and then cry for help. Or people who go hiking in dangerous weather, get stranded and then have to be rescued.  Why do you tempt fate? In life we have to take risks now and then, but it's calculated risks.


learn to shoot. take classes. and after reading some more of the comments: if you shoot, and hurt your neighbor, you should be charged, even if defending yourself. and if you hurt my family? i'll come and get you myself.


Thought that was my imagination.


No, Kim, reflecting on yours.


Yes, WE are full up! WE don't want to stress the environment with more people!  Right lib!  The liberty statue meant those from Europe and no where else. Sorry Charlie!  It did not mean the world,, You only want that to happen coz you hate every day Americans with a passion!


The only relationship to AK is as a Republican political operative getting rich off selling out the nation by aiding and abetting the current Republican traitors squatting in CONgress.


Wielechowski is good at pandering to his base, actually they all are. That is why they keep getting elected.

No a single elected official in Juneau has proposed a realistic solution for the state budget. Because the voters can care less in reality.


"As for Obamas' legacy, he will be forever known as the President who caused more division and strife in the U.S, particularly more racial division then any other president in modern history."
Hold the phone! I am certain that if you'll evaluate your statement honestly in six months you will note that Trump will indeed be the champion of division. Other than making that point, I find your statement to be unfounded. Republican leaders dropped their responsibility for moving the country forward and opposed Obama at every turn, no matter how small the policy question-and that was the plan from the start: make the Nations first black President a failure. For shame. And please, quit with this tired statement that he is half white-will you allow him to tell us how he identifies in the world? Should I tell you how I see you or should I respect your right to your own life identity?


So you're saying she should not comment because she doesn't know how good she has it in the West? Seems like you've pretty much missed the point about the freedoms of this "great culture".


and where is the fraud. oh wait you cant think of a single instance.run along now to your safe room.


There's no fool like an old fool Theresa?


The CBO is never 100% accurate. That isn't a  excuse to attack it's credibility. It remains the most objective analysis we have and, even if they're off by the biggest margins in their history, this bill still leaves millions uninsured, passes massive tax cuts to the rich, and cuts Medicaid by 770 billion dollars.

Amen to that.


As a Flames fan, I can say I like the Leafs and all those rookies that seem to be going somewhere. The Leafs are not squandering the talent the Edmonton Oilers have had over the previous six or seven years. Both teams are now on the cusp of dynasties.


Roddy, Now that you said your piece, what are your suggestions for reviving the Alaskan economy?


Why is that a problem? It's honorable, needed labor.


We stepped up to help the Vietnamese and then Syrians; we sponsored families, helped them integrate into Canadian society, yet now we sit all full of ourselves thinking how great we are.

Well our work is not done!

Lets start organising and and begin sponsoring refugee Rohingya families. Let's  demand the government step up , show some leadership and do its part, just as it did with the Syrians. Justin, we want to see you greet that first plane load of Rohingya refugees with plush toys, smiles and words of encouragement. You did it once you can do it again.

Church groups, good deeds can not take a holiday. Rally your parishioners! Its been several years since you sponsored your Syrian families, they are are largely on their own now. You are now ready for another challenge, sponsor a Rohingya family. You know how to do it.

Come on Canada, get off your butts, let's save some Rohingya's.


You don't have to go far to see the industrial tombstones Trump mentioned. We have them here in Ontario. I see them daily in Windsor and in Detroit. Some day the bubble that covers the GTA and Ottawa will burst and you'll be able to see what the rest of us see.


I wasn't suggesting that we would.


Or Trump would have went after popular vote instead of EC.

"Tillerson's strong suit could be his knack for getting his way in negotiations."  Really?  The example doesn't impress.   While Mr. Tillerson can throw binders to impress the government of Yemen, if he and his boss attempt that tactic with Russia or China they might find out that these nations can throw back devices much more impactful than a binder.


There's no reason to take it with anything.
It needs to be stopped.
Threats of nuclear war are not a sideshow to be marveled over.


God bless Coach Casey an his desire to lead by example.

Unfortunately the Clown Prince of Queens come POTUS, ignores undeniable fact and simply lies to those he has conned. Deep down no one will be able to change his spots....or hair colour.


The great American melting pot.  That's what makes America great.  Fascism and racists are what America stands against.  Pull your head out if you don't get that.


"Your're damn right its under assault!"

You seem to be mistaking incompetence, ignorance, mendacity and contempt for the law for intelligent reform, matt.

What Trump is doing seems to be the opposite of "draining the swamp".


Now the bad news: They can apply for a driver's license when they reach the age of 16 or have been married for five years - whichever comes first.


I don't like the term "racist". I prefer tribal. Humans are tribal, nomads, moving around the globe. And we tend to stick with fellow tribes.


Which property taxes are you referring too. For single detached home. maybe thats true but Toronto taxes businesses and high rises at much higher rates.

Note that a lot of the under taxed properties are at the core of the city which tend to vote Liberal.

Oh, and you're an idiot.  Not everything has - or should - have a dollar value.

It's a good thing Alaska isn't gonna get all those free federal dollars anymore. For years we've gotten more than our share. What a bunch of freeloaders! But I have to say it sure has been getting to drive on paved roads though. Gonna miss that.


We've all seen this before, where a new manager blames the one who left for all the problems. Well Donny I hate to tell you but you only get to use that excuse a few times.  You are driving the bus now.  You own it.


i think "STUNNED" fits you very well.


Why am I asked to rate my own comments?
I spent many years in silence, listening to different sides, listening for common ground.  And now that I'm speaking up I try to be civil--especially about difficult issues.  But I can't say how others perceive my comments.


Bravo, you're an expert at googling ................... real world expertise? no so much.


I lived in California in the 80's. They allowed this to prevent air cooled bikes from overheating in freeway rush hour traffic where speeds would reach an incredible 3 or 4 MPH for long stretches of roadway and bike were only supposed to go about 15 or 20 MPH. Bikes have improved and this is no longer an issue. Any attempt to promote this here is for selfish reasons alone and I say this as a bike rider myself.


Here is a chance to be both honest and test out that education you paid for (At UAS?)...

Given that UAS ODS Only makes one or two trips into bear country a year and have been doing this for only 15 years and have had one bad bear encounter, what would you say the real odds are of a bad bear encounter?


Jack
 The man behind the secession movement has dropped the initiative and will stay in Russia.  Louis Marinelli  says he can no longer live under the US flag and feels Russia is a better place.  However,  "Marcus Ruiz  Evans" is reviving  the initiative process in hopes of creating a new nation.  Its called Calexit.   We shall see.  Time to wake up.


OMG, this couldn't happen to a better organization than the ACLU.  Left eating Left...where's the popcorn?


Oh, one more really important point. A key reason kids can remain in foster care so long without adoption is this idea that what is best for them is keeping them with "family." When that family is drug and alcohol addicted, and/or emotional unstable, then the child winds up staying in foster care year after year after year...given false hope by parents and a system who if they were honest would acknowledge that the child will likely never be best with those parents. There should be a time limit on how long a child must wait. And children cannot often make this decision for themselves. Some people were not meant to be parents... and waiting and dreaming that they will is abusive and cruel to kids.


Silly Sarah.


Simply put, states elect their leader. Citizens of each state select the leader they prefer.  States elect the President of the UNITED STATES!

Elected you could say by the states popular vote count.

Is it perfect?  No! Is it fair? Depends on which candidate you supported.


Agree.  I think the discussions with Boeing is just a ploy to squeeze Airbus for more concessions.


It is no different than what already happens.  Lobbyists contribute to PACs or Parties, who then contribute that money to legislative candidates.

From some of the twitter comments in the article, it's obvious that the USA isn't ready for a female leader.


"44 per cent of Americans say they know someone was been shot either accidentally or intentionally." Stop and think about that. Almost half of all Americans personally know someone who has been shot! A truly astonishing statistic.


Looks like another record setting article for  posts that ‘don’t meet civility standards’

I guess the Bill  has already gone into effect...


Republicans have other motives for trying to downplay this growing scandal aside from partisan loyalty to a president most of them barely know.The hacking of the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign chair John Podesta were not the only hacks. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, was hacked as well and the information was professionally curated and disseminated by none other than the same Guccifer 2.0. The release of that information targeted close congressional campaigns.

http://tinyurl.com/lju4ma5

The New York Times published a long exposé about this last December showing exactly how the hacks were done, but amid the Trump furor it’s never been followed up.

One can imagine why Republican Intelligence Committee members would prefer it never is.

After all, the Russians apparently didn’t just interfere on behalf of Donald Trump.

They interfered on behalf of House Republicans.

Somebody might begin to wonder what they expected in return.


Monetary remittances to Mexico from illegal aliens in the states are about 2 billion dollars a month. It would be fairly easy for the USA to impose a fee or tax on that.


Why would any senator, Republican or Democrat, vote to kick their elderly and chronically ill constituents off healthcare insurance that they want, and can afford?  Isn't that really why Republican senators are not voting for this?  Who would do that to a voter back home with a serious illness?


As is the word "racist". For years that word was used to silence any mention of the sell off of Vancouver to foreign money until it was too late. Vancouver is now off limits to young Canadians wanting to own a home and will be for at least two generations. We need to ignore people who sling these words around with careless abandon simply to silence opposition.


No, we just ask them to please define "evils of Trumpism."   And they go ------>

Works every time.


This comment reminds me of the "other guys are just as bad" routine response whenever anyone criticized one many shenanigans carried out by the old Harper government.


Explain ? I believe you are wrong, but I would like to hear what you mean by this. As GBA referenced we are to submit, but are to resist if the government compels us to do something contrary to scripture.


"Russian aggression in the Ukraine and Baltic states"
wait. what? Russian aggression in the Baltic states? This is a lie and out right fabrication.
The Globe should clarify what is meant by this "alternative fact"
Are they referring to the Russian people living there who might be a fifth column? In what way has Russia been "aggressive" towards the Baltic states?
what rubbish

By your own description, you say "we would rather fight first than open our minds eye to anything that suggests change."

I would ask you to stop your own negativity first.  The only way to solve the extreme housing shortage is by reasonable, open minded discussion.

Your mind is so closed, it seems to have rusted shut.  Work on that, little by little.


Good Luck you two!


Our military should only be used for military purposes, period. Presidents have been using them for humanitarian missions and "nation building" attempts for two reasons, one the military can't say "no" and two, politicians will always take the easy way out, it saves them having to think or work any harder than they have to.


I assume that Bellgarde is aware that aboriginals account for ~ 32% of murder suspects- roughly 6.5 times their % of the population. Roughly 23% of murder victims are natives. The violence Bellgarde is concerned about is almost always his people killing their family and associates.

Mike Dingman make a very good point. But I don't think he is too specific when he talked about "leadership". You have to remembered that when Dean Williams threw the COs under the  bus, he didn't do alone. He had a lot of help from the chain of command. Why are the morale so low? A lot may have to do with inability of the shift supervisors and their immediate superiors to stand up for the rank and file. Long before Dean Williams was tossing officers under the bus has become a culture for some who wears the stripes and bars. When they change out of the uniform and into a suit, something weird happens.

Also, and I say this very gently that correctional facilities should be run by former correctional officers. Far too often, we got probation officers who never ran a housing module, never dealt directly with inmates on a prolonged period, running a correctional facility and they are expected to know how it is done. That can't be done.


Again, your morally bankrupt ideology says "helping the poor is 'bad for the people'". You then blather about programs that you don't like, caricaturing them.

No, your post DEMONSTRATES that any claim you make to be a Christian is wholly bogus.  I keep saying that American conservatism is based on greed, pseudo-patriotism, toadying to the rich and hating everyone else. You conservatives fall over yourselves in your eagerness to prove me correct.

Thank you for confirming what I have known for ages, that you are a sh*t.


what a crock, I can see why this woman was so resoundingly defeated - MSM journalism is responsible for fake news - FULL STOP - and they have lost all credibility in the marketplace - if they had any cred they wouldn't be going to the feds with beggar bowl in hand - just shows outta touch the 1%ers are - but it strikes me as a rear guard action by the establishment to protect their way of life as masters over all they see without input from others - we've seen the common them in other op-ed pieces by columnists at the G&M - but this is what tarnished prestige and a threat to position brings out in our 1%ers


You're confused, I thought it was the Liberals who are really confused.


This charter member of "Alaskan's For Global Warming" will now go out to burn a pile of tires...


Lighten up folks. There was a court decision just prior to the election invalidating part of the North Carolina voter suppression efforts that noted that it was as targeted as possible at suppressing the black vote. Indiana saw over 300,000 mostly minority people turned away on election day because they lacked the proper state ID; Trump leads the vote total there by 27,000.

It has been the official policy of the GOP to suppress the vote for many years as the demographics of the nation turn against them. This will get harder after the 2020 census and impossible after the 2030 census, so expect them to play game with how the census is conducted.


I'm not sure what that means. Is a 'my da' the same as 'my dad' or 'myda'? And are you supposing that your my da sparkled more positively, if that is your dad? Like LG and I do, let's move away from all this 'mine is better than yours' stuff you do, okay?


My correction regarding the study being published in 2014 was removed.   I used a term used elsewhere in the comments section, but I chose a different ethnic group to apply it to.   My bad.

I suspect all people use drugs and alcohol for the same reason - to self medicate, to recreate, to alter consciousness.  It would be pretty racist to attribute alcohol and drug abuse to being employed.  It would be one more attempt at making the behavior a virtue if I do it (because I work), and insisting that others who do the exact same thing are inferior.   This position completely ignores the damage that drug and alcohol "abuse" (to quote you) has on the people in the abuser's life, and elsewhere in society, including driving fatalities and injuries and domestic violence, whether the abuser "works" or not.


I doubt Canadian broadcasters care what ads air during the super bowl so long as they can make money. Unfortunately, they get no revenue by rebroadcasting US ads since the companies advertising, for whatever reason, do not pay them for the air time.  Since American ads fill all the available slots there are no slots for local ads which would pay.

The author is advocating that Canadian broadcasters show American productions for free. Imagine if this was applied to all American shows aired in Canada. I understand American content makes up over 50%, maybe as high as 75%, of all programs aired in Canada.

The author is by this means calling for the demise of the Canadian broadcasting industry as we know it.

This issue is pure nonsense driven by a very small minority of viewers who want to see the US ads. I understand they could be viewed on an alternate site but these viewers want to see them during the game.


I worked Airport Police briefly, 70-75, found a common thread in the mindset, pecking-order & peer-pressure; The public was referred to as "pukes, maggots, perps, nates, salmon crunchers", a whole string of female derogatory descriptors & of course, the ever purposed, "N-word! So with this mentality projected out there, this has a very strong impact on new hires & it doesn't matter your race or gender, you will bend to this mentality in your training because of human nature & the need to "belong" ! The macho, strutting instructors & senior officers that instills this on students in police academies set the agenda for that officers mentality for their career. I have observed officers provoke citizens into an arrest & physically abuse arrestees, especially if fellow officers were present, Eventually, they had an Officer chase a "hippe" to Bird Creek at 3:AM, over a broken taillight,  chased him into the woods & during a struggle, shot & killed him. No one is asking the right questions...


The 9/11 hijackers home countries were saudi arabia, the UAE, and Lebanon, if president two syllables is so concerned about terrorism, why arnt those countries on his so called list?


Thank goodness there is hope to strengthen the Interior Delegation with Dr Jeanne Olson. What a relief to know that we can elect a person who understands that toxic soils, water, and air pose a real threat to their constituents.  How hopeful that she understands the value of K- university education and has honorably served our country in the United States Air Force.  How refreshing it will be to have someone who knows the value of valid research and can read, analyze, and interpret information.

Rep. Wilson has focused her time on enriching oil companies, Bull Moose Derbies, and degrading our University of Alaska, especially in Fairbanks. She has burned a lot of bridges. I fail to see how her actions and lack of action benefitted her constituents, her community, or her state.


I was onboard the USS Camden and had been friends with Tim. He seemed a little arrogant to me, just never thought he could commit murder. Will never forget that morning as I was in the chow line for breakfast, HT2 Seamans


The Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-212) is a United States law which recognizes a child in utero as a legal victim, if they are injured or killed during the commission of any of over 60 listed federal crimes of violence. The law defines “child in utero” as “a member of the species hom o-sapiens, at any stage of development, who is carried in the womb”.[1] - wikipedia

The zygote contains all of the genetic information (DNA) needed to become a baby.


I prefer not to get into the legalities of it and as the Minister or someone said...if someone comes to your door under stress lets open it...especially now to distance ourselves from the US fear mongering...


And close to 70% of those are suicides. I guess you're advocating some other means in which they should accomplish their goal?


Most of us - Alaskans - couldn't care less about the Super Bowl? You're going to have to show your work.


Ducks showed they can play with OSU.  OSU has seniors who have been to the Final Four.  Hard to beat their confidence with inexperience.  The Ducks will be super competitive next year and beyond.  And OSU will once again reload.  Will miss Weise, Orum,  Hanson.  Offense, Boards, and Defense.  Hanson has to be the toughest defender,  inch for inch,  pound for pound,  and the most effective,  in the PAC12.  No place on the score card for how many points she denies the best offensive player on the opposing team.  Plum at UW,  and now Bando,  know how effective she is.


This is your argument?  What President appointed the judge?

Think that through.


Good analysis. The Ds' measure of ideological purity prevented a single-payer system, from what I heard, which was that at least one Senator, Lieberman from CT, was the reason why a single-payer system wasn't created. So, instead, we got a watered-down health care plan that didn't have enough cost control, e.g. buying prescription drugs from Canada, competition across state lines, malpractice reform, standardizing coverages for all health plans (vs. tens of thousands of variations, which costs tens of million$ to administer).

Another mistake: if the ACA collapses as the Rs think it will, that the blame will go to the Ds. Instead, it will be the party in power, the Rs (who control the House, the Senate, and the presidency), who will get blamed for not doing something. The collapse of TrumpCare is probably a positive for the Rs in the short term, as many of the president's supporters won't realize that they were about to get hit with the higher premiums.


Let me guess...the subdivisions are full of the byer built 4 plex? Trash at the front door i suppose.


The KKK is the most prolific hate group in US History.  They ought be listed as a Domestic Terrorist Organization before anyone else. "Unite the Right" is a vague movement to recruit new members under the guise of a some Rightwing commonality.  But it's still the good old Klan.


I think yoga man is bs ing us.  It doesn't seem as if there is any blood flow upstairs.  He probably smokes Kools cigarettes, sits around in his lycra and watches fox news all day


There are - but everytime one gets leaked people freak out.

People love the idea of spending cuts... as long as no services are impacted


Belgium had the worst record on race relations of all of Europe's colonial powers in Africa.  I am glad the church in Belgium is taking responsibility for that nightmare.


How is the guy Ford still employed? He seems like the most incompetent fool I've ever seen running a state agency. The DOT is incompetent  joke. So sick of how the state is run, no leadership just a bunch of idiots. The donkeys have destroyed the island


Was there something unclear about "But we shouldn't be having anything to do with them."?


Isn't this a waste of resources considering Syngenta already sold their Hawaii operations; it does make great disruptive headlines. The headline could read "Kauai activists again try to ban farming in Hawaii"  smh. There are much bigger issues facing Hawaii agriculture producers than the type of seed or crop they  are legally permitted to grow.

Meanwhile, Hawaii residents are NOT buying local produce, keiki are going hungry and let's not get started on the homeless issue.


History?

Tomás de Torquemada is lurking there, safeguarding Catholic orthodoxy. The witch hunts of Europe are aflame there, and Muslims didn't set them. You can hear the gurgling of waterboarding there, but Muslims are the victims. You can see crucifixions there, planted by the Romans. The Soviets are there. The Nazis. The Chinese showing you that the death of a thousand cuts is a real thing. The Huron and Iroquois are there, too.

History.


Of course the gross sales data are meaningful.  However, for the reasons we've discussed, they likely don't do a good job of estimating ownership rates.

To my mind both 27% and 30% of house sales to non-locals seem like a lot, so I don't worry too much about whether one or the other figure gets used.  These numbers will change month to month and year to year anyway, so it is often good practice to give an idea of their magnitude rather than an exact figure.

In any case, standard deviation doesn't apply in this case.  Standard deviation refers to the variation in a set of data values, preferably values whose distribution approximates a normal curve.

At any rate, I wasn't hoping to start an argument.  I was just trying to get the three of you on the same page by pointing out some of the red herrings in your path.


"“Diversity is our strength.”"
Kind of a guarantee that we never develop a "‘core identity’".


Underground economy
.
How naive is Wynne?
The underground economy will not respect the minimum wage of $15
Workers in the underground economy don't pay income taxes so their wage can be less than the official minimum wage
Serves the government right
Easy for politicians to raise the minimum wage to get votes (that is Wynne's motivation)
But who pays? The small business owners struggling to survive
In some case the business owners themselves with long hours might not be getting $15 an hour themselves
Easy for Wynne to talk


I'm happy for Nome, but NO STATE MONEY for the development of a deep water port. There are rich native corporations for that.


They voted for these people and now they are surprised?  It's a little late now.


My family had a trucking company in Farbunks at that time. I wish I could talk to Mom about this. Alas, she and Dad are gone. How anybody could think they are superior to another human being is not even in my wheelhouse. Or, my whole boat! I revere every human, because...they are human! And all have something interesting to share.


I missed the "anti-pope" drivel, but that 'splains a lot.


One of the NDP's most popular policies at the Provincial level before the US-Canada free trade agreement was to vest a Crown Corporation with a monopoly over automobile insurance (autoplan).

Many will recall that Ontario was seriously considering joining BC & Saskatchewan be establishing such a scheme but that this was scotched in the wake of the free trade agreement.

Logically, the Ontario NDP (& the NDP in other Provinces without an autoplan) will resurrect this popular proposal if the current legal barriers under NAFTA & the earlier Canada/US free trade deal cease to apply.

On the other hand, voices will be raised in Ottawa & elsewhere that the Provinces shouldn't establish public autoplan schemes as doing so will become a US/Canada trade irritant.

This is thus another example of the sort of domestic debate that will mark Canadian public policy development post-NAFTA etc.


This argument was soundly defeated by Jackie Owlsey - How about this - College kids could work their way through school, kids could pick crops after school.


CMHC and our bankers have sat back lined their pockets and
decimated a generation of Canadians

any country that has no use for its young does not deserve the name


Because liberals love criminals and the aclu would tell us we cant. They seem to make all our rules for us lately.


Excellent reporting, as always Ms. Tomlinson.  One question: does the Globe plan to publish the list of donors referred to in the story?


BA 76, please explain what you mean by "our military voted for Trump". Do you mean all military members voted for Trump? Most? In Alaska? And what does that mean anyway? Only the military vote counts?


No Pebble.


What's it matter if Cops have video cameras ? Do you think any will happen ? When's the last time a cop was charged by our US Attorneys Office ? Seems Alaska is the only state in the Nation that has never in the History of Alaska as a Territory or State ever prosecuted a cop Federally. Even with Alaska FBI investigating on average 10 formal federal complaints filed by members of the public against an officer. So in 10 years over 100 investigations and not one cop ever prosecuted.
 Alaska is also ranked by DOJ Public Intefrity Section as one of the most corrupt state of Public Offials. Anchorage Police, Palmer Police, Troopers, Attorneys, District Attorney's.
APD isn't concerned for Officer Safety with regards to removing the scanner feed. It was already on a 5 minute delay. It's about Coverups.


nope, it was not forced down the throats of the Honolulu residents.  in all mayoral elections since the rail began, the people of Honolulu voted for rail, electing mayors that favored rail ( 3 elections I believe) and rejected several anti-rail candidates, the most notable was cayetano.  even now the majority of Honolulu residents favor completing rail as planned.  just because you are anti-rail does not mean that your perspective is correct or right.  if the majority of the people vehemently dislike rail, there would be demonstrations, etc. just like those demonstrating against trump and his policies.


Hey Legislators!

No one forced you to take this job. Quit your whining!


There are plenty of potential interim superintendents while the search for a competent Superintendent is made.  The idea that a superintendent, who has thus far shown such incompetent communication skills and has betrayed the trust of parents, teachers and students, is to have such a heavy hand in her replacement shows just how tone deaf Tom Koehler, Pam Knowles and Amy Kohnstamm are.
I cannot imagine how they think they are going to sell this bond to the public when it has been PROVEN that they lack the skills to manage our public buildings effectively.  Carole and the PPS Board have failed by firing the entirety of custodial staff, hiring ineffective and corrupt contractors, failing to inspect and maintain facilities, keeping accurate maintenance logs or communicating effectively with parents.  How can this board guarantee that they understand our concern?  Step one: fire this superintendent.  Step two: reprioritize the budget and put Health and Safety first.


As I recall, Jesus' means of separating the wheat from the chaff was to separate those who had fed the hungry, clothed the naked, etc. from those who had not.  No mention whatsoever of sexual mores.


In my trawling I keep coming across this 'silly' post. Heaven help us!
You have truly adopted  an excellent non de plume.


Charter rights are abused everyday in Canada ,so why all the cash to this terrorist.
are Charter rights on a pay scale.


"The state Legislature said this week it intends to hold a special session later this summer to work out a funding solution."
If you're going to do this, do it for free. No salary. This entire mess is nothing but a money laundering scheme for democrats.


Kept all his promises?
I thought he had promised to release his tax returns?
I'm praying for the USA and the rest of the world.


Here's a tip: there's no alt-left and the other three are all the same thing.


The G&M has lost its credibility. It did so under your watch Sylvia. You will have to do better than 'spin' to regain it, because that is why it was lost in the first place. That, and bias.


Money talks and bull $hit walks.  No conviction....I don't think so!


If Stepmother MISSED her granddaughter's graduation ceremony by leaving a day early, then I totally agree with her DAUGHTER ......  the family graduation ceremony should be more important than attending the friend's funeral.   They could pay respects to the friend's family when they got back from graduation.


Not really, Americans voted Hillary last year, but our President is chosen by an electoral college, not regular voters.


Big Brother not only has his hands in your back pocket but he also is telling you what to eat and what to feed your family!!


@Lazeelink, everyone's missed the other half of the story.  According to the transcript, Trump tried many times to get Comey to pledge loyalty to himself, like a mafia don, and even tried to manipulate Comey into making a self-incriminating statement about an ongoing investigation.  Reading between the lines, Comey sensed a trap and saw how Trump was making a clumsy, artless attempt to get him to say something he could later hold over him, but Comey was too smart to take the bait and kept silent.  Comey was also smart enough and wise enough to write notes of his conversation immediately after his meeting, to protect himself.   (BTW it's almost certain the room was bugged).


Trump is an "impatient genius?" Ahahahahahahahaha!  God, that's a good one! My cheeks hurt.


My great uncle died in Hitlers gas chamber- he saved my great grandfather by switching numbers with him- things would have been different for me & my family- none of us would exist. Thanks for the reminder.


My BS detector is screaming. If the local natives had no intention of using the meat they had no business killing the critters. If the animals were mysteriously exposed to radiation by some government agency, there was no need to do anything at all. Radiation poisoning is not communicable especially when it's totally mythical. The folks in Point Hope just kill things and they don't care whether it's legal or not. If it moves, kill it. If it flies it dies.

 This is very similar to the villagers in Kipnuk who destroyed the entire Kilbuck caribou herd back in the 80s and then killed every single caribou that was transplanted at great cost to Alaska taxpayers, into the area to rebuild the herd. When the troopers tried to arrest one of the villagers for killing caribou out of season and taking more than the limit of caribou, the entire village rallied around the perp and tried to arrest the trooper under village sovereignty. Ignorant, irresponsible fools.


What would I have done? I'd have talked to the boy, it's not difficult. Screaming PUT THE HAMMER DOWN!  Is escalating, calmly talking de-escalates, violence must only be used when necessary. The lawsuit has precedent.
Read the story again, he shot 5 times about a second after the taser. In court, this is where the hair splits. The taser didn't work because he didn't wait to see, he shot way too soon.

Are the cops now encouraged to just brutalize the public however they see fit? 911 ruined the America I loved, when white hats didn't torture, Andy Griffith was the police ideal, and freedom didn't mean submission to authority for the sake of safety.

Now alleged patriots defend this while despising the very government the cops represent.


Sadly at 57 you are highly unemployable so you need to examine your skillset gain through working for the government and how they apply to the private sector. Where your future may be is as a consultant/advocate to the private sector navigating the fiefdoms of government. Before you hang out the shingle you need to talk to a lawyer and find out how starting your own business will affect your severance as you will need the money until your business gains traction. You might find you need to talk to a lawyer about both the terms of severance and getting it converted to a lump sum payout.

If self employment is not your thing apply for assistance and get retraining. Oddly a good thing to get is a level 1 first aid ticket, it is easy to get and not that costly. It is a desirable skill, depending upon where you are applying, that could make the difference. As for the whole you get severance but it is contingent on you making an effort to find work is unreasonable and should be banned.


I see a lot of white fists in the air as well, so I think you've gotten confused.


Having said that I bought some Royal Bank shares in the past year. Leverage leads to high returns most of the time.


"Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get." Hillary Clinton. Imagine how many fewer deaths caused by outraged gunmen there would be if we put a silencer on Hillary Clinton and the like-minded divisive and hateful people in this country! It is time that we stop blaming guns for deaths when hate is so easily promoted, which is the real cause behind our recent rash of violence.


bien sûr


Sakic is in way over his head, but he'll be around at least one more year because of Josh Kroenke's misplaced faith in him.  Pickard's stats weren't great, but let's be honest the Avs are a defensive dumpster fire.  They didn't help Picks out at all.  Avs should've exposed Varly because there's no way Vegas would've picked him.


Like the Toronto Sun writers.  They once said that the Earth is cooling and we must prepare for the deep freeze.


"The governor's administration says lawmakers' budget hides more than $600 million in deficit spending."

So our Republican legislators are really closet Democrats  in sheep's clothing.   They just love guns and Jesus, hate gays and diversity/minorities, and  want to keep all govt benefits to themselves.  Otherwise they are happy to spend this state into oblivion.   I at least commend declared Democrats for caring about ALL Alaskans while still being honest.   The "closet" Democrats need to be voted out.


Ray, I'm not going back because the church has become a fascist political party.  They were complicit in the election of one of the most immoral men who has ever lived.  All of us have been aware of Trump's vulgarity and cruelty for 30 years.  This is the man the church helped become POTUS.  I have reached my limit with the church: clerical abuse scandals and the cover up, demanding that the laity pay for their depravity by stealing our parishes and using the proceeds to pay for lawyers and fund right-wing political causes, the disappearance of the clergy retirement fund when Cardinal Law escaped to Rome, the corrosive misogyny, the investigation of the nuns, etc., etc., etc.  The Mafia seems tame compared to this bunch of goons in lacy dresses who think they are superior to everybody.  The curtain has finally come down on them and we see them as the nest of vipers that they actually are.  Yeah, I'm bitter and am not in a forgiving mood.


A costume representing a book, worn in HER home as host to a Halloween party. And now she is ridiculed, condemned as a racist and being forced to resign by her peers? Sounds more like the mindset of the Salem witch hunts in 1692. The U of O, it's new corporate president, the majority of the "educated" staff and student body have all lost their ability to reason. Its a costume from a creative stand point. PERHAPS, she made a poor choice. GET OVER IT and move on.


My deepest ALOHA to her ohana.


'
Supreme Court Nominee Neil Gorsuch Is a Donald Trump-Style Authoritarian
.
Trump claimed he was the “law and order candidate,” and doesn't believe in holding police accountable for violence.

Gorsuch, in his rulings, shows a similar devotion to police impunity.
.
n a 2006 case, police had caught 22-year-old Ryan Wilson growing marijuana in Lafayette, Colorado. Wilson tried to flee, but an officer tased him in the back of the head and he died of cardiac arrhythmia.

Wilson’s parents sued for damages, claiming that police had used excessive force.

When the case found its way to the 10th Circuit, Gorsuch ruled in favor of the police.

.
“Mr. Wilson was resisting arrest by fleeing from officers after they identified themselves — even if the crime of which he was suspected was not itself a violent one,” Gorsuch wrote for the majority.
.

There you have it.  Grow some pot, get tased in the head for trying to run.  Killed dead.

Gorsuch?  A-OK.
.

Welcome to the police state.


When you wrote this you made it very clear who you (in error)  think  is the only illegal aliens -> (Hugh quote) "As an Hispanic man como_estas, would you not feel threatened by ICE stopping you asking for your papers? <-

I will NEVER deny or state anything to you re me, from this (Hugh quote) "you have never denied being so" -

You can stop baiting me now, I will not bite .


Sadly, you're right.


It may sometimes produce results that are difficult to accept but I still very much prefer a criminal justice system that is fundamentally based on these two principles:
- innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt
- it is better that a hundred guilty people go free than that one innocent one is imprisoned


Health care cost in this country will continue to be more expensive than need be simply because it is a profit driven industry.  For the good of this nation and its people the industry needs to shift to either a non-profit model or become nationalized.   Until then Wall Street rules, CEO's get fat bonuses, and we, the customers get to pay more for less or are denied coverage for our treatments.


Great response!  Sadly, this the ncronline site seems to attract these Catholic Regressives, as if they are being called to ministry  here!


Bottkm line! Was the chicken 'undocumented'?
We're going to build a Wall!!


My heart breaks for this family. However, I can't help but question why the parents continued to have children after the first one was diagnosed. It was a genetic issue, I'm sure their doctor informed them that it was possible future children could be affected.
This is purely my opinion. Why create human beings when their existence is just going to be full of pain and sickness?
When I was pregnant with my one & only child, I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. Fortunately, I was able to have a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby. Shortly after, I had a complete hysterectomy instead of lesser procedures. My doctor asked more than once if I really wanted to go through it just in case I wanted more children. My feelings was that I wanted to make sure I was alive to watch my child grow up, if I wanted more kids that badly, there are millions of children in this world already that need loving families.


British High court ruled that Al Gores "An Inconvenient Truth" contained 9 significant factual errors, unfortunately it is still allowed to be played in schools, it's horrible he is making a sequel. It was Al Gore who said we would all be dead by now due to climate change...
Most climate change activists have fallen off the rocker, this has become an unhealthy obsession, I'm sure of it.  Polar ice is increasing, not melting. Sea levels have not risen to the drastic levels most climate activists were predicting, I thought several cities were supposed to be underwater by now. Since 1997 average World temperatures have not shown any significant increase, between 950A.D and 1250A.D the climate was as warm as it is now. The UN Intergovernmental panel on climate change has conceded that predictions for global warming and the effect of carbon emissions  have been proved inaccurate. I have more faith in the almost always wrong weatherman than I do a climate scientist.


In 2036 I plan to wake up to a country that is a microcosm of what the world should be--a place where people of many different religions and races and cultures are working hard for justice, peace, and amity.


Uhmmm, BC voters do care but the polarization is so bad that most people vote for the crooks over what they (are told to think) are commies.


Realistically, 15 or 16 years (old enough to have a Drivers Learner permit or DL and ability to drive a car)  but note:  *if convicted of first degree murder*.


Another BS.


Name one city in the western world where black people are truly law abiding.


House Bill 2040 (Act 172) establishes a Water Security Advisory Group at a cost of US$750,000 for the first year.

One is moved to ask which members of the extended ohana of local politicians will staff this boondoggle and how much of theUS$750,000 will be consumed by their salary and expense.


Liquid Hydrogen is the future of cars. Yet the processing methods are complicated.

LNG is not because the cost of cyrogenic storage is astronomical


So you are supporting terrorists who fought against Canada and our Allies? You are an embarrassment to Canada and consistently reveal an opinion void of integrity or self-respect. Have you no shame, sir?


Always:  Jaded is just waiting for the right moment to tell us about her 8 inch toy......


The act used in Ewa to decimate all wildlife was rather a process- a different kind of weapon to draw blood.

By the "system" submitting fraudulent EIS's that gave a false portrayal of what was really
on the landscape and getting away with it ...

Excluding the Red Ilima, the result is, that by design-  zero mitigation -
zero Habitat Conservation Plans or even Incidental Take Permits being executed to replace the loss of Pueo and friends-

And the Pueo is under siege-  as if facing a baseball bat to the head-
    eye to eye with a gun barrel; knife blade pressed against its wing
    ---and developers are caught in broad daylight swinging the bat
    provided to them by elected officials.....

On Oahu, what State elected officials, LUC, Planning Commission, Mayors, and the City Council
did in tandem to the Ewa Plain and its wildlife, pales in comparison
to the onslaught levied at Kaena-


Civil Comments, why will my epithet-free, personally neutral, well-reasoned and absolutely scrubbed of sex, drugs, perverse practices posts fail to post? Once they fail to post, no changes will allow them to post. I have wasted several hours in the last week trying to get my replies or comments posted, What gives? 40% of my carefully written comments fail to post. I am upset about the waste of my valuable time.


Give me Lever, Thompson, English, Issel and Mutombo, with Antonio McDyess first off the bench and Spencer Haywood and Kiki Vandeweghe next. Melo might get some court time, unless Doug Moe's the coach. He called out the ball hogs on the team.


The truth is Hillary was blown apart over the deplorables comment, but Trump's far more frequent and often times worse statements were consistently blown over.  This was the biggest political double standard I have ever witnessed.


The Luddite response to quantified scientific data isn't restricted to the climate change deniers.  Present any number of peer-reviewed scientific studies demonstrating the horrendous public health and ecological damage done by feral and free-roaming 'pet' cats, and watch the "no-kill" animal welfare fanatic stick their fingers in their ears and shriek.  The mentality is the same.


Tempest meet teapot.
The G&M might have done better to put the major rebuttal by the HOC lawyer closer to the start of the article, and not 11 paras in. But only if the G&M wanted to look a little impartial.


Ah yes that term from the seventies comes to mind ... Corporate Welfare Bum


really then why was the announcement IN CHINA to the Chinese, and not to Canadians????


we all are going to miss you Christian you were such a great friend and always had your mind set on something we love you :( and we will meet again someday goodbye for now its time to spread your wings and fly !!


A gentle reminder. We have a Charter or Rights in this country and section 2 gives people like Jeff the right to freedom of expression. You may not like what someone else posts but they have a right to post it.

Leaked Chats Show White Nationalists Planned Use Of Brutal Force In C'Ville


An acquaintance recently had a common operation, including an overnight stay at the Palmer Hospital. The bill: $100,000.

The same operation at the Rochester, MN, Mayo Clinic: $34,000.

Last one out, turn out the lights.


cnpp, all members of Parliament, and Senators, had this information in hand when they debated, studied and passed it in the House of Commons.  The content of all bills are available on the internet for any interested member of the public to read.

I can tell you that the part of the bill amending the Criminal Code does not create a new crime with a new penalty.  It simply adds gender identity and expression to the existing definition of "identifiable group" in the Hate Propaganda sections of the Criminal Code.

Nobody will go to jail for disagreeing with a scientific theory.


Your observation is accurate but your interpretation is a bit off.
You don't see fat distance runners for the same reason you don't see light weight football linemen.
The activity self selects for certain body types especially at high performance levels.
Body builders can have low body fat and with the right training methods high MVO2 as well, but distance running is likely to result in impact injuries to their low back and legs.
One size does not fit all.


No, he was meeting with the Russians to decide whether to release the tax returns ;)


You completely miss the point of the article.  Your comment is off topic and the article has nothing to do with you.


Ontario should go for ZERO immigration. Mass immigration is greatest cause of pollution along with globalization.

China, Africa and the rest of Asia are being forced into the middle class which is causing the most toxic and polluted spew all over the planet. Every day the middle class are buying cars, scooters and building houses like the Canadian dream. Not to mention taking selfies, buying junk food, plastic do-da's etc.

Trudeau's politics = destruction of the entire planet!


'
If there's anything that Trump is not doing,

….it's draining any swamp.
.

Trump installed 6, count them, 6 Goldman Sachs bankers after promising to get them out of government.

For anyone to say he's 'draining the swamp' just shows how far from reality that whole campaign pledge really is.
.
Trump might have said he's draining the swamp.

But like all other things he says,

…the reality is more like the complete opposite of draining the swamp.

.
He's instead given the keys to the kingdom to the very same swamp dwellers he promised to oust.

.

It's truly uncanny that his supporters still think they can shout 'drain the swamp' and think that anyone will give that phrase any credence whatsoever.

.

Gonna have to come up with some new defense of Trump.

…cause 'draining the swamp' clearly ain't what's happening.
.


it has been for years. there is several spoilers posters here, its their goal to destroy the sports section as no other team fans post here ever, they don't want the toronto club fans to have a comfortable spot to post. So they go pro leaf, anti leaf, and everywhere in-between. It is sad. course I'm not sure there are any pro sports fans anymore at the globe


Civilization was formerly thought to reside in the United States and allied with Canada.  Now, it has apparently returned to Europe as the old enemies have banded together to create an equivalent to the mythology of America.  As the U.S. descends into the madness propelled by a wanna be dictator, Europe actually provides humane base for humans to live full and productive lives.  Formerly thought to be the purview of the U.S. citizenry, but no longer as they buy into the free market, anti-government, anti-controls of the Billionaire Barons owning and ruling over all.  Time for a Revolution.


"European Canadians"?

Perhaps you could provide readers with your personal rankings of prospective Canadians by national origin, race, and religion, Bruce.

Or, you know... don't.


My kids play outside... on our half  acre lot and LOVE it - in the northern GTA.

I would rather be dead in a coffin 6 feet under than alive and painfully suffering in a small box that this journalist claims is utopia. You cannot raise a family in one of those ugly boxes

Canada has vast amounts of land.  This is preposterous that we "need" to live in condos instead of detached... and the main reason why the trend is going toward condo development is because developers can make a boat load more money and local governments can spend irresponsibly with a bigger per acre tax base...

I absolutely abhor the direction that the GTA has gone.. ugly, cheap, small apartment units where people are expected to raise families?  No thanks..

European immigrants coming from war-torn countries with a suitcase and a few dollars had their own detached home within 5 years of living here.. through hard work and a less greedy development industry and political class...


Read all versions of the bill about 3 times.

1.  "All elements of every lease is still controlled by BLNR" - sure, we do not want BLNR to have the power to lease out lands for unreasonable periods of time.  There are many instances where the BLNR was prepared to make a decision that was inconsistent with their trust responsibilities and the law - cancelling and reissuing the Mauna Kea master lease without following Chapter 343 and without language that would ensure UH would get sufficient rent to properly manage the mauna is one example.


So sorry to hear about this tragedy.  I went to school with Shawn.  He was a good friend and officer. He had so much heart and soul for his family and friends. He always had a smile on his face and could  diffuse a barfight with a smart ass coment that made everyone laugh. He was fair and just. Don't be quick to judge, you never walked in his shoes.


Mind the DTMF mixed quality BADLY affects your communications. I have a real story for you; I'm calling one of my banks, they Rep is transferring me to a robot to enter my pin #... I'm entering it, and the robot can't understand the pin. The robot says to enter again... after 3 tries it gives up. ...., and it does not understand your commands due to the line in not DTMF. You must troubleshoot DTMF problems with your VoIP connection through route-test.com. They offer a free testing credits. You can find the solution quickly. #VoIP


"NLAD found 2.5 million fraudulent cases of people who received multiple subsidized phones."

"FCC Chairman Ajit Pai said one Lifeline subscriber received over 10,000 subsidized phones, which amounted to a $90,000 profit—and taxpayers paid the bill. He said 1.2 million people, or 36 percent of Lifeline subscribers, likely filed fraudulent claims to enroll in the program.

Participants must be on Medicaid, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP),
or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to qualify. But the Government Accountability Office (GAO) could not confirm over a third of the participants’ claims that they were on one of these programs."

"NCR tacitly endorses violence for the purpose of curtailing the free speech of a gay Catholic."

Really, Utiltas?  Care to actually show some evidence to back up your claim.  BTW, said Gay Catholic is also a racist hate monger.


Making assumptions?


It's time the government passed legislation that gives consumers unfettered access to their credit reports and scores. We shouldn't have to sign up and pay $20 a month for some credit monitoring scheme as Equifax  makes you do. They say you can cancel anytime, but when you do, they port you over to an annoying dead end phone number with the annoying 'all our agents are busy' but no one ever picks up, waiting for hours, phone in hand, even at 1 am in the morning.  Enough of the dog-n-pony show, giving consumers the run-around. We have a right to know, particularly the all important so-called credit score, and we shouldn't have to pay for that information.


@Alex12121
I beg to differ - they are exactly two sides of the very same coin. People are being falsely accused - either intentionally or mistakenly. In the former case the police are deciding whether or not an accusation is unfounded and let some slip through that shouldn't. The first installment of the series is is about the police finding some accusations unfounded. One motivation for making the distinction of unfounded/founded is to prevent an unnecessary prosecution of an innocent person.
One cannot discuss changing the system of making a founded/unfounded determination without considering all the people who will be affected and that includes the accused. The whole picture needs to be looked at, not just part of it.
And btw it is not just men who are victims of wrongful accusation, I don't know about Canada but in the US there have been cases of lesbians being wrongfully convicted.


So far Trump is all angry talk and old ideas.  Grumble grumble grumble softwood - push this old button. Grumble grumble grumble send a fleet. Grumble grumble grumble - build a useless wall.


Dumb comment. The USA was founded as a republic, not a democracy! Since the Patriot Act all pretence as a limited republic has dropped as well. Today's street thugs are the likes of the Portland rioters: indoctrinated leftist students with psychological issues.


Its not the word, its the use of the word.


Since Katrina 10 years there were only two major Atlantic hurricanes till this year, to the great embarrassment of global warmers.


Because even economists said they were silly and red tape inducing.  That is why they were dropped and changed to give the $ where it would help people more and help the economy more.   Now Mr. Link that is easy enough to find...look it up.


There's a ballot initiative to require rooftop gardens in Denver coming up soon.


Did the person who gave you the tip demand to be called "deepthroat"?


l4: you're making the original posters point for him. Scheer has done nothing that anybody cared about, party leader or before, until he made a gross mistake by sending his MPs out of Canada to attack Canada's interests.
And you think it's good for a party leader to be such a nonentity? Really? The cpc insiders must be grinding their teeth over how little scheer has ever done.
what does parliamentary recess have to do with anything? Is the HoC the only place scheer can get speaking time? If so, the cpc is in major trouble. Other party leaders seem to have no trouble.


There is zero decrease in the USA deficit with Trump's budget. It merely shifts dollars to even more military spending and tax cuts for billionaires. Trump voters will finally understand they've been duped.


Oh so Trump is given a voice because he got "votes" and what did Mulcair get in the last election?  Perhaps you didn't know that 74 million voters in the US didn't vote for Trump, some 11.1 million more voters voted for other candidates than Trump.  Seems in North American and the UK a "majority" is significantly less than 50%+1.  Time for simple arithmetic refresh?


WOW!  I just contact the senators office and boy, are they running on fumes from oil kool-aid!

The oil companies pay us the dividend, according to the senator's staff.  The oil doesn't just crawl out of the ground on its own. I don't remember Exxon or BP being on the dividend, do you? What hogwash!

The staff also said that only 17 states have an income tax.  The true number is 40.

I look forward to Senator Imhof leaving the state if an income tax passes the legislature, along with many non-residents who work here in the oil industry.

I think I'll put this opinion opt in the trash, just as the senator's staff is doing with my comments to her office.


8 years?
They will regret this in 5.


You have to put an Insurance company's name and supposed account number on the application for registration or renewal.

Do you have any verifiable information that DMV checks that?

When insurance expires or is replaced with a different policy do you have any information that anyone is notified of that?


That is what they are saying on the far right news sites Those sites are also saying that is why McMasters did not refute the Washington Post story, but refuted what the Washington Post never said. That way McMaster can say he was alway honest. The say McMasters is part of the Deep State trying to get Trump impeached.


a muslim immigration minister saying no problem here.....
hmm

fox guarding henhouse much


Then, of course, there are 'The Godfather' movies! Nice Italian Catholics, just defending
'The Family'!

On the other side, though, we have 'Family Blue'!
 All the actors seem made for their roles, from Tom Selleck on down. Just New York Irish copes doing their job; but they still sit around a table for a family meal and pray a Catholic 'grace'.

Sort of American cops, who just happen to be Catholic.


Great article but you can't tell this story without the context of virulent  anti Catholic sentiment  in Upper Canada.  Just read the Globe founder's views  eg “Irish beggars are to be met everywhere, and they are ignorant and vicious as they are poor,” George Brown


Ever actually read her voting record?


Rarely do we see a persons vile, diseased soul so personified in their physical appearance as Coulter. Born with an injured soul and an ugly countenance that perfectly mirror each other. My dearly departed mother was so poisoned by the ugliness of right wing hate media that she would send me Coulter's ghastly books for Christmas(What would Jesus think right?) and my birthday. Sad. Hugely Bigly Sad that anyone could find any redemption or reason to attend a Colter event unless it was to protest. She does nothing but throw rhetorical bombs and shout "Fire" in the theatre of civilization but in this country that is her right. There will be damage done by radical protestors so I feel the angst of Berkely administrators but in an institution famous for it's 99% promotion of free speech the show must go on. The best thing out of this circus would be if no one attended other than the few young republicans who paid the vile person blood money to spew her poisons one more time.


Where is Mitt?  Trump gotcha.


I thought they just got a pay raise in July?  Well, no problem.   I have 3 words for the county.  NO NEW TAXES,


And, any group can invite someone to "say something!"  There is a right to assemble if you recall.


That is a very sad comment.  We get it you have never watched Hollywood movies (otherwise you would be a hypocrite) but just because I watch Hollywood movies it does not make me a fan boy of Hollywood stars.      Such low effort thinking arrives at something like that.


Another victory for neoliberalism.


"Except in this instance, the State is technically bankrupt, at least until the legislature finds a way to tap the principal of the PF to pay our bills."

my2cents,

This argument might be valid if there were other contracts or leases or bond issues that were defaulted under the "subject to appropriation" clause.  As a casual observer it appears to me that the decision was based on dissatisfaction with the lease deal, not a lack of funding.


Trump’s transient fancy with the military discipline and organization Chief of Staff Kelly may impose on WH operations will have flagged by Labor Day, and POTUS’s disenchantment with the demands of this scheme (& his efforts to wriggle free from it) will be discernable from a distance by, say, Columbus Day. Dude’s got the attention span of a preschooler.


If you do send them to public school, make sure to tutor them either yourself or with a company.  For reading there are a lot of good phonics books you can use yourself.  Same for grammar and spelling.  For math you might want to go with an extracurricular program like Kumon or Spirit of Math.  Also you should inquire whether your local school has split grades.  Education theorists love them.   But in combination with mainstreaming of kids with behavioural problems, they create a chaotic elementary classroom where learning is difficult.  You don't need to go private if you have the time and resources to teach the essentials away from public school.  Though your children may still be victimized by mainstreamed kids.


Where was the union when this harassment was going on? Or Human Resources? Even other supervisors saw what was going on and did nothing?  Is the USPS just an everyone for themselves kind of place? How could this bullying go on and nothing was done? If the victim reported it to the union, and nothing happened, she xhould get a refund of every dime paid in dues.


My Federal MP won't reply to my letters about this. I believe BOC and all government levels have arse pho'd us all on this.


Draining the swamp at its finest...


And the prize for: "Most Out Of Touch Bolshevist Mayor" goes to....


The real answer is that it costs the business $0 because the after tax income of the business owner does not effect the inherent profitability of the business. Only the demand for its product or services and its ability to fulfill it do that. This argument that its going to hurt small business is BS. It's going to close a loophole that shouldn't have existed in the first place and business owners who've depended on it are understandably upset. But they can't defend the loophole so they try to make it about everything that isn't about.


And today, yet the fourth acquittal of a police officer in the Freddie Gray case in Baltimore.  Found Not Guilty by Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Barry Williams, who is also black.

Per a CNN article, the Judge spent "years prosecuting cases in the same courthouse where he now presides, to his investigation and prosecution of police misconduct cases for the U.S. Justice Department -- uniquely prepared him to deliver the first verdict in the closely-watched Freddie Gray case."

The family has already received their $6.4 million settlement, and their attorney said about Judge Williams:  "At this critical time and for good and sound and decent reasons, we have to respect Judge Williams' opinion, because it was the result of an obviously fair process," Gray family attorney Billy Murphy told CNN on Tuesday. "  after the acquittal of Officer Nero by the Judge.


When someone is elected by a minority of voters you are then governed by a tyrant.


How much more evidence must there be to remove Trump from office?
He does not,and never will have,the best interests of American's at heart.
America and the world can not wait until 2020 to rid this cancer.
It will take some latent backbone  from both Congress and the Senate to impeach.


The hypocrites Should save it for the next NRA fundraiser speech, or maybe when they've debating silencers, or gun trusts and all the rest of their freedom agenda.


She saw an opportunity to speak the for the kids she cares about and chose to take a stand. Ungracious, yes, but no less ungracious than the daily tweets we all see and shake our heads at.


So much for leaving partisan politics at our border, eh?


Here's to hoping the I-70 project fails to further destroy a neighborhood--demolishing more homes and businesses than the original placement of the viaduct--under the guise of "connections" and facilitating eastward sprawl. We can't sacrifice people to induce demand, there is no such thing as decreasing congestion in growing areas!


The NRA supports gun ownership. Do we hold alcohol advertisers, even producers, responsible for solving deaths at the hands of alcoholism or drunk drivers? Do we hold Hot Rod magazine responsible for providing solutions for the many deaths caused by auto accidents or negligence? More people die from each than from gun deaths.

We hold the responsible party for fault. Too many in society prefer to shift responsibilty elsewhere.


Well said.  Consider a GG who has next to nothing concrete to offer First Nations peoples living in poverty and ending their own lives other than rhetoric?  Religion, including Native healing tradition, is profoundly important to many people, including the Queen by the way.  GG Payette's transgression is indeed serious and egregious.  She must issue a formal apology.

The plan is delay, delay, delay.  But, you are right.  Hope Ige puts on his big boy pants because arrests are to follow.

Wow the eugene police department finally arrived somewhere in time.


Finally Hollyweird is starting to practice what they preach at people.


Maybe the good activist can raise the money for the insurance or the utility bills associated with opening up the places to the public again.

Let's watch.

Those darn practical realities.


this is only for people of Hawaiian Blood, and not any race.  otherwise fraud.  If they giving to people with Hawaiian at Heart then thats me,  I like one land and house too,  a nice one.


What's so ironic is that all the 'injustices' minorities perceive or experience actually occur in cites run by democrats.  That's the common denominator and, if they keep voting this way, will never be resolved.  I believe problems are always best solved at the lowest level.


If the supreme court follows the laws of the land and the Constitution, how can they possibly be divided? Incompetence or corruption? They should be unanimous in most decisions.


When you actually look into the face of someone you so disparage - the liberal tofu eater or the immigrant being deported - can you ever recognize the face of Christ? Or do you even bother looking into the faces of people you disparage - from your tone I wouldn't be surprised if you have trouble even recognizing their humanity.


I'd rather not have police quickly shooting someone who is armed, but I can understand that it is a fine line between sacrificing one own's safety and needlessly killing someone. I agree that black communities have more violence and that is going to drive a lot of the numbers. I am most bothered by the idea that a black, unarmed driver may be more in danger because police will be on edge approaching a black person. The #3 in your article gets to that (a 6:1 ratio of unarmed black men being shot compared to unarmed white men) but discusses some complexities that left me feeling like that question had not been fully answered.

The article in today's paper highlights this study http://www.nber.org/papers/w22399.pdf which points out a large difference in non-lethal uses of force after controlling for non-race factors. But it finds no difference in lethal uses of force. The R-G, though, says the study didn't directly address the recent situations, although I'm not sure why.


An income tax, old Alaskan style, would be intrusion enough but the paperwork required was (yes, I remember doing it) was minimal and there was no need for anyone of even average intelligence to pay an expensive "preparer".  But what we see now is incredibly intrusive, exceedingly complicated and most people will have to pay a professional to figure out what they owe.  So, in that sense, it's a "jobs" bill.  Whoopie!  We get to pay an unnecessary tax AND pay someone to figure out how much we have to fork over.  But, wait, it's so complicated that a gigantic state bureaucracy with lots of political plum jobs to be doled out.  Last estimate I heard was at least 80.  Of course there'll have to be a budget for those new cronies so perhaps the percentage amount being bandied about will have to be doubled to pay their wages, health insurance, overtime, training and, of course a lot of travel expenses to attend courses and seminars on how to shake people down efficiently.


Trump is soooooooo corrupt, and soooooooo establishment !!!!!!    He is more crooked than the worst members of Congress.  I find I incredible you all don't get that.


Just another one-sided bias article from the AP (should be called the Socialist Press). They did not mention one time that there is major concern from American citizens of massive voter fraud in Democratic dominated states like California, New York, Washington, Virginia, and a few more blue states. These states are letting illegal aliens vote by the millions and it is not fair to the rest of the USA citizens. Let's at least get to the bottom of these allegations and restore voter confidence in national elections.


I am also on board.  My beer and pop corn are at the ready as the CAGW sad sick religion comes crashing down around the adherents feet.


"But resistance to self-promotion generally is mere snobbery."
---------------------
Why is it snobbery to resist or ignore self-promotion?  Essentially a thesis or argument tossed off as a definitive conclusion. Certainly the article fails to make the case.


She will meet only resistance and retire in two years.


Oh but players disrespecting our country and the people who've fought for it is not divisive?
If those players are at work, they need to do their job. They can do all their protesting and extra curricular activities on their off hours like the rest of working America.


And you thought Hillary's emails were a problem....


Albertans are definitely smarter .-)
Don't believe me ?


Apparently, you did not live in the Denver Metro area 10 or more years ago. I can recall golfing on the Boulder Muni Golf Course on "bad"days when the Flatirons were almost obscured in views from the fairways. The "Brown Cloud" has been quite substantially reduced since those days, and of course, there is always room for improvement.


If you wanted to see substance, why did you vote for the Liberal government? Their policies are based solely on substance and perception, nothing more. For example the great middle class tax cut only truly benefits those making over 90k. The average income in Canada is 45k.
My guess is many are easily duped.


Let's compare this inconvenience with the chaos and anger following an islamist terrorist attack and mass murder, and then the hysterical MSM can put it in perspective.


I find it laughable that developers say they can't build apartment dwellings if rent control is put on them. Rent control was eliminated on new buildings in 1997, with the justification being it would kickstart construction. In the 20 years since, most, if not all, of the new construction has been of for-sale condos - not rental buildings. Are we supposed to believe that is going to change now?


Why are you afraid of a civil right Wyatt?

I suggest that you are the one currently suffering from an irrational fear of an object. And I hope you get the mental health support you and all the other gun grabbing liberals clearly need.


Russia collusion, Russia collusion, Russia collusion.


I think Thanksgiving is not the best time to bring your partner.  It is fraught with traditions and family dynamics that a stranger is going to be hopelessly lost in.
I suggest having each family member meet your partner in a more informal, setting.  You will all be more relaxed and your family can't gang up on her.
A funny response DE! I can see you rolling up your sleeves.


Flat out lying is the new trend.


I don't know what to say. Thank you.


... compared to other states I've lived in, if there is one area 'road safety' could really and EASILY be improved is if fines for unsecured loads were INCREASED DRAMATICALLY, so that our local law enforcement is better motivated to pull folks over for this ...

I love Colorado with all my heart inclusive of the people here, a little more care on unsecured loads would go a long way towards caring better for each other.  Real simple.


these Trump republican clowns do not care one whit about you or i,, they will trash veterans, elderly and children to suck big oils Koch. this is the biggest joke of the states history. may they all go the way of Hawker.


Of course Don Young won't call for Trump to step down over obscene and disrespectful behavior. If he did he would appear such a colossal hypocrite that he would risk provoking many knowing Alaskans to speak out and set the record straight about the infamously obscene and disrespectful Alaska House Representative.
He surely has his own never-ending, and well-documented behavior problems. Who can forget his obscene language when addressing a Fairbanks high school class, the numerous instances of violent threats against his opponents, and when a young woman constituent flew with her group to DC and they visited his office to discuss an issue, he popped off with the impertinent question, "When did you lose your virginity?" Alaskans deserve so much better than Don Young. http://tinyurl.com/zjsdk7z


Mr. Flynn, I reread the column that got your undies in a bunch and do not for the life of me see where I said Proposition 8 would lower taxes. I asked if we wanted lower taxes. Surely a guy as smart as you can grasp the nuance. And I did not "mischaracterize" its effects. You know better. You can do the math, too. Whether your assertion was willful prevarication or plain prevarication is unclear. If you guys had taxed to the cap every year - as the left wing of the Assembly has wanted - we would, indeed, be paying  $141.9 million in additional taxes this year, not including the school district levy. If the left wing of the Assembly had its way, the city would tax to the max each and every year. Your nonsense about tax relief is just that ... nonsense.


Does that include thought COPS?


Only comment I can make -- why would you go to Kamloops in March? It'll be wet and cold. Otherwise, good for you!


Yes, it is definitely true that words influence action.  To carry this to its logical conclusion, it is clear that media should be selective in its reporting.  Mass killings are, IMHO, a creation of the "free" press in publicizing the events and giving fame to the killers.  The media makes money off the killings so they are disinclined to self-police.  A tribute to Goldberg to speak the unspeakable, i.e. media may be morally responsible for many of society's ills (even though he does not say this explicitly, media responsibility follows logically from what he does say).


Sadly, there's no escaping the fact - fact, not opinion or assertion - that terror threats across the world emerge primarily from Islamic roots.

It wasn't always that way, of course. In the early/mid 20th century the religious wellspring of unrest were the alliances between the Catholic right wing and Euro-fascism. In the 1960/1970 era in Northern Ireland, it was primarily Protestant extremists.

To be sure, there are localized threats and actions made by fundamentalist right-wing groups in the US and other places, and they need to be taken seriously. But those threats aren't part of a world-wide movement like Islamic Jihad is.


You are correct - thank you for catching that.


Help! Help! My guns are gone! Check the Obama White House before he leaves!! Oh wait. No. All of them are still here. Come on people. This is domestic violence. Coulda been a knife on both of them.


Neko is our Neko; "Niko" is a charlatan.


Points out one of the problems with governmental budgeting, IF you save money in one year you are cut the next.  Just look how much the different agencies spend in the last few days of the budget cycle.


You obviously have not met members of my family,  the members of the church my aunt goes to - Lithuanian - or my Polish relatives.   And just because onr likes Pope Francis and believes in Christian values doesn't qualify them as liberal.


"The civil rights movement triggered massive rioting by the blacks, followed by urban blight and rampant drug use all across the US during the 60s and 70s."

Right, that's all the fault of African Americans seeking their rights as citizens of the USA.  They should have just kept with no ability to vote, drank from the other water fountains, put up with the occasional lynching and stayed in their place.  Quite the "tell" your statement there....


...and still not word from ncr about what happened in Spain.  Not a word, not a whisper.

This is an example of how PC journalism actually results in the racism it says it decries.   Terrorism by brown skinned people must not be mentioned at all, but when a white man goes of the rails, no amount of wailing and gnashing of teeth is ever enough -- and not simply applied to the party at fault, but to all others of his epidermal hue.


Go against Trump and you get accolades and praise.

Go against Hillary and get two in the hat.

Fact...not opinion.
