Your average American Hillary Clinton supporter will smugly head to the polls on November 8th, entirely self-assured of themselves to defeat Donald Trump. It won’t take long for such childish delusions to be vanquished by the horror of subsequent reckless and unnecessary imperial conflagrations that will be inevitably unleashed by their savior throughout the world.

The extreme dangers faced by the planet as a result of warmonger Hillary Clinton becoming President have been apparent for a very long time. Oliver Stone and many others have vocally warned about it.  This time, conventional war will be replaced with nuclear means.


GOP = Excellent selection
LIBS = Obstructionalists

Result = Gorsuch CONFIRMED


Sajjan was just being liberal with his facts.


It's very naive to think that Obama, or any president, didn't demand loyalty from those under him.   And Comey was in an office under the Executive.

Progressives seem to think that the FBI is a totally sovereign and independent branch of government.

That idea was supposed to go out with J. Edgar Hoover.


As a Canadian I like Trump more than Trudeau...............ten fold


And text and talk on your phone constantly.


Clearly, you need to seek help.  You expect people to attend tv/online broadcasts....you run for school board in the hope of having your phone ring...you claim a reporter got your quote wrong, then you repeat most of the reporter's claim as evidence that you were committing election fraud...and you wonder why nobody will give you the time of day with your math business (a business that is so successful that you have to fake-run for school board as advertising)...Please seek help Mr. Hughes.  I hope you find happiness someday, but I think you are going about it the wrong way.


What a great idea! Maybe NickleBack could open for Trudeau! Sort of a house band. All they'd have to do is learn ''On the Road Again.''


Most Muslim nation prohibit Jews or even Christians from holding public office.  They are the true apartheid states because they are utterly discriminatory and xenophobic, not Israel.


God be with his soul.  So many die out here as divers.  IT is astonishing...


Correct,  we don't-look at DACA.
This lady, she is 'punished  as we do any criminals that thumb their noses at court orders and at laws.
In her case, no  American tax funded jail.
In her case she was returned home. (The original court order)

Good job ICE!


He was not charged because he was part of the Harper PMO and working for Steve himself. If Wright were charged, PMSH would be next.


Bill the people (or their estates) who invoke any assistance at all the actual costs of any government services. Make it revenue neutral.

Hike and nothing happens? It's free. Hike and need help? Pay for it.


Nurse "Ratched" blathers on and on...Nonsense....she is simply and clearly not credible, self-serving, narcissistic and a poor excuse for a legislator. Always has been and always will be. I don't believe if anyone saw her coming with a needle and generally with her, full of poison you would call for help. We all should be doing that when it comes to this one.


I can see limiting the rights of people in power to talk of religion in a public school setting.  But there should be no limit on the right of the children to respectfully discuss their own religious beliefs with their colleagues.


It is very avant-garde for the Globe and Mail to give us Doug Saunders' comedic fantasies right there beside the serious commentary week after week.  It makes me wonder what lucky UCC dropout will eventually be able to fill his shoes.


Not true.
National Security - not based on national origin or religion.


I offer a real world example. My wife and I have two small children and would like a third. I work and make reasonable money, she raises the kids (which is WAY more difficult than my job). We are hesitating having the third because we worry that the cost of the third child may jeapardize the well being of the other two. Yes, there will be a government cheque coming in, but they will in no way compensate for the cost of a child. I don't care it it's the $6400 max, it's still not enough to properly raise a child in Canada. My argument is that if my taxes weren't so high; income tax, sales tax, property tax, gas tax etc, we would be easily able to have the third child. We would be building the population and contributing to the economy. Yet, unfortunately, Canada has chosen to import to sustain growth, when I am perfectly capable to do it locally. It saddens me that my taxes prevent me from having a third child but instead go to paying for someone else to immigrate.


What would your daughter about the Quebec man who assaulted  his teenage daughter over a year in what police are calling “honour-based” violence.

Gatineau police say the level of violence escalated once the man discovered the girl was removing her hijab when she was away from the family home.


Outta the mouths of babes


Mental health professionals have a whole classification dedicated to people "with multiple selves".


It's simple. Train a small cadre of Little Diomeders to be the eyes and ears of America, with the best and latest electronics, from a place where they can actually see Russia. And pay them well. Local only. They know the terrain.


Absolute nonsense!  This makes no sense of known, published and admitted facts.  Do you really think our memory is so short and the electorate so stupid as the believe any of this?  I'm amazed Maveric would publish it!


Basically you're saying that N. Korea is developing nuclear weapons for self defense purposes.  If you buy that, you probably will buy Iran's claim that they are using their nuclear capabilities for "peaceful" purposes.


Not an act of terrorism? It sure as hell wasn't an act of love and tolerance. Thankfully there was an armed off-duty cop on the scene. Knowing the bleeding heart liberals, they'll want him charged with police brutality.


Trump could have told the Democrats to go to hell. Ige better get Chinn and the fab four to get in line. And by the way, when was the last time the fab four, the Governor and the Mayor spoke to the POTUS on a friendly basis.


Please NO more TAVERNS, or Micro Breweries in the  downtown Broadway Plaza area.  They just bring in MORE Travelers, MORE Dogs, MORE Homeless.....


The Marijuana industry has nothing to fear as ARTISTS will keep them in business FOREVER.....

This CROW should fly out to where the FLYING PEOPLE are, HOPEFULLY at the DUMP................


You don't see too many women trying to be Knights, do you? Nor Knight spouses, or in the maid club that does service to them, do you? Young men practically have to be chased around the room by the pastor to sign up, and even then they are bored with all the talk of abortion and none of the talk of men's part in it, or in the male violence toward pregnant women, especially--and strikingly--focused on their bellies. Even the men ask: wtf?

THAT'S what you call "sword-envy"?


It's interesting all the "hate" articles and comments written about our Governor that had an 86% approval rating while she chose to hold that office in our state.  It's also interesting all the hate articles and comments written about our President that was elected to office in spite of all the negative press he received from the Washington Post, NY Times, CNN and ADN.  Just saying...


You never addressed why Congress gives EV owners a tax credit for their purchase. Please explain this. And why can't Congress agree on how to tax them? What seems to be the issue? Ah, and this would be the issue that you are avoiding, as this is where you tried to sweep the facts under the rug. Gotcha!


You are reverting to your refuted script. All of those incorrect assertions have been addressed before.


'despite a change in the indication he is facing'

that by definition implies that they are at an intersection or crosswalk as there are no indications for jaywalkers.
.
 and in case it wasn't blazingly obvious, I do of course stop for jaywalkers.  But it is not my responsibility if they wander into the road and I am unable to stop.  If you think it is you will be sadly mistaken if you find yourself in front of a car that can not stop in time


I worked for a company for 10 years and never brought my husband to any social event - they all called him Vera even my Boss (after Cheer's Norms wife). The workmates I still see years later met my husband after I stopped working there. Note - I never go to any of  his company social events either.  My personal life is separate from work.


Futhermore, I suppose the recent tax credit by Wynne is going to offset pressures on 1st time LOCAL home buyers? What a joke....


This well was drilled in the 20s or 30s and poorly capped in 1984. This procedure is not at all representative of current regulations.

Oh no!  They're taking down statues of losers!


Nope, it was to inform you that, in spite of the congregation of Conservatives angrily posting here, most Canadians are laughing at the Conservatives who drop support with every childish attack on our PM and the Canadian Government.


Because you've met him? Shut up old fool.


In order to understand how obvious it is that--in terms of senses of humor--there simply is no comparison, you would have to force yourself to regularly expose yourself to aversion therapy, i.e. to actually seek out and experience the entire universe of political comedy, rather than simply retreating to the safety of your handful of identical sources of information that protect your fragile psyche from too much cognitive dissonance.

But if you ever get tired of playing with yourself in the kiddy pool, and think you are ready to actually engage with others in the deep end--and with full understanding they won't always tell you only what you want to hear--then feel free to return any time.  All I ask is that you complete your homework assignment first ;)


Ho hum, another biased hit piece on Trump.  Not like I haven't seen 5 of these histrionic media temper tantrums today.  I got to admire the guy, because he has seemed to piss the right people off and gotten their attention.  Trump's biography will be called:  The Man Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.  Nasty nasty people these faux-conservatives at National Review.  Sad.


Doesn't the Canada Currency Act state that Cash is acceptable as tender for any purchase up to $40.

Walking around with thousands in cash is not a good idea. It poses risks for both the customer and the vendor.


What does does that even mean?

So what does this say about the quality of returning players on the team with the loss of ONE superstar? It means no one believes UH has a player close to replacing Taylor. It means, in spite of having a top notch setter, returners at middle and one side, and back row, and a whole bunch of returning reserves, not many coaches think UH has much fire power. It means not many coaches think UH had quality recruits - which seems pretty obvious when the words out of the mouth of the new coach is "they'll need a year or two...". Now, you can't build a quality program if your freshmen recruits needs seasoning, not good enough to step right in. That's what happens when the old coach doles out assistant positions to old time friends or their kids like doling out candy. That's what happens when you surround yourself with worshippers who had no recruiting skills. This is what Robyn is stepping into, sorry to say, a situation where at least two years of lackluster recruiting is going to bite her.


It was a hateful media reaction, not the attire. Melania is the first lady and active in her role. Please don't remind us about Hillary.


I once saw an attorney garnish a guy's expensive watch right off his arm during a debtor's exam at the Lane County courthouse!

The guy was claiming 'no assets'!

The Judge who had put the debtor under oath backed the attorney up, too!

Note to self:  Have client wear  cheap plastic watch to bankruptcy court!


...and Trump wants to increase DOD spending by $1 trillion.  This is where the future of national security resides, not in building yet more nukes.

I don't object to the existence of these tools.  I do strongly object to the use of them on Americans.  The problem is, who is looking out for us?


to be clear, though, there *is* a scientific consensus that the condition described as "Chronic Lyme Disease" is not real.

"There is clearly a scientific consensus among responsible parties that CLD is not a valid disease and that long-term antibiotic treatment is not only not beneficial, it can be dangerous...  no one doubts that real Lyme disease exists or that improvements in diagnosis and treatment, as well as research into other tick-borne diseases and prevention, is warranted. But none of that is an excuse to take advantage patients with a fake diagnosis of “chronic Lyme disease” or treat them with long-term antibiotics and other dubious remedies."

Bingo! Trump is too impetuous to be bothered by policies. He prefers to lurch from one crisis to the next, informed only by what he sees on Fox Cable News. Trying to discern some underlying policy or strategy based on his actions is a fool's errand.


Mr Trudeau needs to worry less about how to wring more money out of the working class and affluent-
-
and worry more about how to create more members of the working and affluent classes...............

The New York Times
April 2014
-

"The American middle class, long the most affluent in the world, has lost that distinction.
-
While the wealthiest Americans are outpacing many of their global peers, a New York Times analysis shows that across the lower- and middle-income tiers, citizens of other advanced countries have received considerably larger raises over the last three decades.
-
After-tax middle-class incomes in Canada — substantially behind in 2000 — now appear to be higher than in the United States. "-
----------------------
ahhh...... 2014 ---

the good old days - when the Canadian middle class was the wealthiest in the world and Canada enjoyed its status as the most respected nation on the globe......
"

anyone remember who was in charge away back then?


Obama withstood the constant attacks well, as a leader should. This would include Trump's birther garbage.


The Green party is a group of career activists who protest economic activity for a living. Many of the Green's most fervent supporters reside in their parents' basement while attacking the industries that afford them the 1st world lifestyles they take for granted (in addition to their welfare payments). The Green Party combined with Horgan and the NDP have the economic acumen of a clown shoe, in fact, a clown shoe would be fitting choice for the Finance Minister at budget day when (if), it ever comes. The biggest impediment to economic growth in Canada is (often US funded) short-sighted career activists who protest for a living.


Crazy Hollywood kook, not to be confused with ordinary, garden variety kook.


A disgusting misuse of public funds.


Yeah OK Sty -r  we will get right on that.... LOL!


You mean a young tourist trust fund brat who came from rich parents?


Sorry for this huge loss, I've been by that business several times and always thought with that much hay "what if that were to burn?". It does appear that Bounds' comments are circular, saying that this wouldn't happen if farmers were allowed to burn their fields, then he states that product was being sold to a market in asia. So, isn't that a good thing for Bounds that this marketable product was NOT being burned in farmer's fields? It was smart for this young man to see an opportunity in a changing farm paradigm to find a positive business niche. However, it seems like he still has to repeat the grumblings of old school farmers in regards to the regulation of field burning.  Hay is a renewable resource, carry on young man, learn and move forward.


Trump didn't write Sharia.


Global warming deniers are not innocent people.

My name is Jeff Brodsky, Founder of JOY International. Money for what? As for the organizations in Alaska that received half the funds raised, Covenant House, Priceless in Anchorage and MyHouse in Wasilla minister to the needs of hundreds of Alaskan youth every day. Meeting their physical, psychological, emotional and job needs is extremely expensive. Why not check them out and see for yourself. As for me, the first 30 years I was unsalaried. 7 years ago the Board of Directors insisted I take a salary. My personal salary is $34,000 a year. Yes, the Police have the authority. In many nations, police are very corrup,t so over the years we worked with Prosecutors who showed a desire to get perpetrators put in prison. As a result, we have teams (made up of men and women who train Special Teams, traveling at their own expense to countries where children as young as 4 have been rescued from sex slavery. Now what are YOU doing to fight this evil against children in Alaska and our world?


When it comes to men, which do you hate more? Old or White?


why is it that u.s. police can't shot the leg ? .why must they behave like robots and always shot to kill ?


That is what she is "paid for"? Wow!


How do we know your assertion is correct? Release the tax return and then we will know. Just like President Obama was pressured to release his birth certificate. When you want to play at this level you shouldn't be afraid of the potential backlash.


"scenerio" ?   ahahhhaaaahhaahhaahaa  is that Spanish for "scenario"?


UK labour party sounds exactly the same as the Canadian liberal party.  Promise everything & deliver nothing while spending double the billions in the first year.

Taxing the rich and free university education along with other monetary promises is a costly business in the long run.  Britons should take note of the Canadian example, be careful what you believe and vote for.


What you and the left still fail to realize is this was not a vote FOR Trump but a vote AGAINST Clinton.  Clinton was beaten by a reality TV star who had never run for a political office in his life.  What does this tell you about the democratic party which a short 8 years ago had the presidency and both houses of congress?


Then please tell me how Ben Carson in HUD, Betsy Devos in Education, Scott Pruitt in the EPA and Steve Mnuchin in Treasury fit that hold. If you don't believe in the global economy, why hire so many people from Goldman Sachs that is the poster child for the modern global economy? It is also difficult to know good the cabinet is given it is almost impossible to figure out Trump's philosophy and objectives.


Facing deteriorating polling numbers and an unfavourable personal rating, Ms. Clark decided to out Trump Trump by threatening the shipment of non-metallurgical coal (including coal shipped from the US and from Alberta) to BC ports for export.

Such blustering at this time works at cross purposes to Federal negotiations with the US and Mexico over a wide range of trade issues. Implementation by BC would violate several Canadian foreign trade deals and would illegally interfere with interprovincial trade and commerce. BC lacks jurisdiction to implement in any case.

However, all this is outweighed for Ms. Clark because there's a tight election to be won and populist bombast just might tip the balance to the BC Liberals (polling since the bombast, in fact, is more promising for the Liberals).

BC deserves better.


Look up Randy! You missed the point as it went right over your head...


That's ridiculous and unwarranted...Silly little mind!


You exaggerate grossly the % of the priests involved in abuse, etc.   You need to do that in order to hold your fragile theories together.

Priests make Jesus present to us in the Eucharist and in Confession.

If you reject the priesthood, you reject the Sacraments, you reject Catholicism.

Time to part company.


Yeah, incredible story isn't it.

Clark and the BC Liberals have been publically giving us the sincere face and saying they are concerned about housing affordability for working families, whilst behind the scenes giving massive tax breaks to overseas companies who have been utilizing them to speculate in real estate.


A revenue neutral carbon tax is different than the insidious and disingenuous cap and trade scam that Trudeau/Wynne/Notley are about to perpetrate against Canadians.


The Mirror is a weekly newspaper with a small staff, it's a small town newspaper and you are being too hard on them. The Mirror is a wonderful newspaper and they do a wonderful job. I've been lucky enough to be in The Mirror a few times and the journalists that interviewed me and my mom each year I was in the paper were every nice and the story was wonderfully written. I think they did a great job on this story.  I care about getting the news and reading accurate information and if that means I have to wait a day then so be it.


She didn't know anything while leading Canada and still doesn't.

Good thing she is far away and not near the powers of government.

Too bad the Globe keeps publishing nonsense like this instead of real news.


They will use the 'Empty vessel' ans Steve Bannon likes to refer to to him until they get him to sign whatever they want. When they have no use for him they will dump him. This is not a left versus the right issue anymore. It is clearly becoming a 'competence' versus 'incompetence' issue now.


I'm not the least bit surprised to see who voted your comment down. Those two vote down everything, but are too cowardly to post anything themselves.


And do it before he can issue the pardons.

This rally is already a success because it's obtained media coverage. A similar rally planned for next month in Toronto received local media coverage today, although at the end of the news item on one TV news program it was noted that the group publicizing the rally has no more than a few dozen members.  I think it a mistake to convey the impression that right-wing nationalism is an ominous and growing presence in this country, which simply isn't the case. Our democracy isn't really that fragile. If you ignore these events, the groups sponsoring them will likely disappear into the woodwork.


Let's acknowledge the big picture.  Throughout recorded history indigenous peoples have been subjugated by more powerful invaders.  It is still happening today in Central and South America and, in a more subtle fashion, here in our country.  I trust we all know the sordid history of our treatment of Native Americans......they had something we wanted....we took it.  We took the land, took the resources, destroyed the cultures, and exterminated those who resisted.

Only within the past fifty years have we seen the "indigenous peoples' movement" coalesce and exert enough strength to more effectively protect their lands, their culture and their rights.  I'm 74 and the term I'm going to use is passe' and an anachronistic cliche'.....I'll use it anyway..."RIGHT ON!"  regards, Gary Crum


Listening to Trump talk about sovereign nations is quite a joke considering that in the last 70 years the US has attempted to overthrow 40 foreign governments and crush more than 30 populist movements against repressive regimes. The US has been the cause of millions of deaths and million more suffering under dictatorships all since the end of WW2. If any nation on this planet is in need of learning how to respect other nations sovereign rights then it's America. No other nation has caused this much chaos on the planet.


Byard:  The Saginal Park has been a haven for Drug use, Drug sales, Domestic Violence, Theft,  a lot  of crime.  It will be interesting to see if St. Vinnies can turn this around.  Usually all it takes is Lotsa Money.  Obviously, Vinnies, will get  plenty of money for this  from the various city, county, state, Fed. agencies.


Don't get me wrong.  I'm not equating Canada to other less equitable areas (a relative comparison).  My comment wasn't about Canadian women in particular.  Inequity is a problem globally, but it is correct that it is far (orders of magnitude) better in "the west".  Canada is one of the best places for equity in the world, and Canadian law actually does create full equality (in law), but there are still gender  inequities that exist in our society, now and from time to time.  There were articles on this yesterday that provide details if you care to look them up.


It takes a big man to admit he was wrong, Mr. Neal. Which is why the govmint bureaucrats will never admit (as one park employee did to me off-the-record) that fish ladders could have been built for far, far less, and dredging of the lakes could have moved silt downstream while maintaining flood control and drought protection of those wonderful reservoirs. Once government gets it in its head to do something no amount of reason and facts will dissuade it, e.g. the Fluoride Four controlling P.A.'s city council in opposition to the clear will of the majority of the population.

It really is unfair to limit the cost of dam removal to $325 million however. As you note, repair of flood damage to roads and residences and loss of freshwater storage will mean this "gift" from radical "free-the-river" advocates will keep on costing us in perpetuity now.


Personally I think that the other party is a sanctimonious  twit and the advice is very one sided. If she wants to wear old fur items why not?


good to know that there is really little need for the Premier in Manitoba.


I feel the same way. It's just not fun to watch. Loosing in a fight is honorable but this feels hopeless. We need an O line and some Jake Plumber kind of fire. Lynch doesn't seem to have it. Get Kelly in there, we need someone will to get in some trouble. Jump in a fight to protect his brother.


@r408 said; "...many billions of dollars in equalization going to the rest of the country..."
Really ???...where did you get that ?...un autre grand tarlais qui se "p(h)ourre" le doigt dans l'oeil ?...If other provinces cannot afford the same services of child care & parental leave,
I do not see why Québec should be guilty;
“money comes from provincial transfer payments and other insignificant displayed crass ignorance” said loudly Anglo Canadians
Yeah ! sure...Anglo Canadians has so brilliantly perfected the art of peeing on Québécois while telling them it's raining


So we're going to let some bureaucrat in Washington decide who is and isn't on the terrorist watch list and deny people access to their second amendment without due process?

We already don't trust the incompetent democrats in running our government.
 Thanks for proving our point.

And they wonder why us "ammosexuals" cling to our guns.
It's all so despicable. If "a" causes "b" why go after"c"????


ISIS has encouraged it's followers to use vehicles as weapons.


Is that the Conoco Phillips brand on Chenault's upper right sleeve? Would be a nice match with his CBC branded hat.

That is one huge difference between Bill Walker and any possible Republican candidate for governor.

He understands and fights for the sovereignty of Alaskan's citizens over maximized dividends for shareholder's & executives of these very powerful and rich global corporations. Maximized through the minimization of our education system-among other cuts- and paying relatively little for our non-renewable resource.

Thus lessening future prosperity and job opportunities for Alaskans.

You have supported the Alaska "brand" through thick and thin. Thank you Governor Walker for your efforts.


its sad really, that old guard bearers of white male supremacy have to die out so the rest of us can move on.
did you catch that new movie? its called Reefer Madness. it tells you everything you need to know about the subject. no need to look any further.

The opposite is being studied elsewhere with horrific results. Montana and Wyoming is loosing their moose and elks by the thousands and it has turned areas where people hunted for hundreds of years into wasteland. By definition of not having that problem we have a scientific study here in Alaska.

You wolf lovers rather have wolf kill for the sake of killing than humans hunt for the sake of providing food


Mahalo Tulsi for continuing to question authority, and challenge flawed conventional thinking.  Arming "moderate rebels" to force regime change didn't work in Cuba '61 or Nicaragua '85.  Afgahnistan '79 gave rise to Bin Laden.  Removing Saddam unleashed a Pandora's box that spawned ISIS, and removing the brutal dictator Ghadaffi created an unstable terrorist safe haven that now requires our periodic bombing (which also kills civilians, ahem...)  Will the triangulating neocons on the Left ever learn?


Coming from you, I take it as truth. Keep up the good fight. Strangely  we don't hear this on the so called news. Work harder make more money... they need your tax dollars!!!!😂😂😂😂


We'd like to believe that, Pops, but you never know.   No experts have found ways it seems, to predict what gun owners will be out of control for any reason.   While the Great Communicator implored us to "trust, but verify," there unfortunately is no way to verify any person's intentions at any time.   The proliferation of guns could have been controlled, if we had had the will (and it might be too late now,) but people's emotions and intentions cannot.


WTF does that have to do with your stupid response? I'm talking about Anchorage and this year meat! You're kind of a clown you know that.


AB:  Man, you are one sore loser!


Please provide a reference where we can see the Police and Firemen's bill in Springfield for Bernie and in Eugene for Obama.  How much were each of the bills?


"Legislators have a long record of caving in to the powerful rail establishment, but Luke and Tokuda are right that it’s time to deny more big taxpayer bailouts until Caldwell produces credible numbers and a path forward we can trust".  And, therein lies the deal breaker.  That last word, TRUST, which is not in Caldwell's vocabulary.


"...[these] reports have rightfully caused much anxiety and displeasure in society. As the ANC, we share this discomfort and anger at these revelations which are continuously unfolding in the public domain."
Presumably for very different reasons?

Mr. Mthembu, South Africa can go on without the ANC; however, the ANC cannot continue without South Africa. With the Guptas, Zuma and all the captured cadres destroying this country, there will not be a South Africa left in a few years. The only ones afraid of seeing the ANC fail are those in the ANC, the rest of us are afraid of seeing the country fail.

Around October last year, you were gunning against Zuma and corruption in the ANC... what changed?


I live in the same home I grew up in. It happened several times when I grew up. Some people just don't want to go to jail.


Also, look at photos of our legislatures in session.  There are many clowns there as well, but they are contained to Juneau.  Poor Juneau.....


Spoken from a no good dogooder! A dime a dozen for sure.. And when the stones ring through your house I pray your protected by expedited eviction. Xo


You have the right to feel shame for being white, heterosexual, and male. Now check your privilege! Equality of opportunity is not enough if arbitrary targets put in place by our "progressive" Prime Minister are not met, it means we need to push equality of outcomes regardless of merit - nothing says progress like promoting gender-based quotas above merit and experience - especially for STEM subjects...

truth is "they aren't"


Is that all?  No wonder Hawaii cannot attract and keep dedicated teachers.

The system described is, in other times, an aristocracy.  In these democratic times we don't like to think we have aristocrats in our midst, but of course we do.  Aristocracies in the past labored long and hard to preserve their wealth, secure tax privileges and pass it all on to junior.  The scene is identical today albeit the nomenclature has shifted.  We never had barons, viscounts, earls and dukes in Canada, but the lack has often been lamented.  Hullo Lord Crossharbour.

A wise aristocracy would strive to share with the peasantry on their initiative rather than going to the wall come the revolution.  The British were good at this, the French and Russians less so.  Still, we are not immune and Trudeau's ambition to create a 'fair' tax system quite sensible - alas, it does need to include his class (not that we have any classes in Canada).


Foreign ownership MUST be banned.


Sexism and racism both.  You're on in a roll Swan.


I can agree with Eugene on most of this article.  Our culture  and values have not improved from the 60's and 70's, they have worsened.  Pornography has gone from  being contained to old theatre's and magazine shops located in the 'bad part of town'  to a multi-billion dollar mainstream industry. Both young  women and men are exploited by "Harvey Weinsten- like"  producers that 'use' them up and then toss them in out like so much trash. Feminists, who will march on DC in a nasty women's march, will not even  bat an eye at this glaring  abuse going on right under their noses. Hollywood 'winks' at it as well and why wouldn't they? It is, after all, their own sordid underbelly.

 Eugene doesn't mention abortion, so I will.  In 1973 the Supreme Court legalized abortion. From that point on millions of human lives have been snuffed out for one reason or another. I have to imagine that  this goes hand in hand with the porn industry as being pregnant messes up a 'body'  We have reaped...


I'm going to enjoy watching the leakers get sentenced to nice jail time for leaking classified material. Just like Hillary should have recieved.


So You support Globalism? (Not the economic aspects, but the NWO aspects)...as well as supporting Open Borders? (There as well as Here?)...unchecked free flow of "immigrants"?
Loss of Sovereignty over your own money, your own Laws, your own say in how the country is governed? These are Good Things? ...that you Support?

A company doesn't just eat a 20% price increase. If Americans aren't willing to pay 20% more for their cars, the company will make the difference up in other ways. Reducing staff, salaries, closing plants, etc.
The cost will be passed on.

Incredible. They removed my simple comment: "Nary a middle-aged white man to be seen". Has the world gone mad? That was a factual observation, Globe censor. By this standard you're going to have to take down John Doyle's column this morning. (Note: I speak as someone who applauds the diversity of the selection.)

Saskatchewan may have brought it's wait times under control because it allows private diagnostic imaging. Why does the concept of taking people out of the public line up by letting them buy a private service not make sense?And who cares if they get faster service as long as everyone gets faster service?


I agree with him, up until he committed murder. I suspect psychological problems, as with anyone who would commit murder. But hey, at least it's easy to get guns, right?


You went onto private property with a handgun and just calmly looked around and left. So who took the photos posted on your crazy people hate site? You thuggish little hate mongers have less credibility then any homeless person I ever met and many of you have much more colorful criminal history's. Tell you creepy friend Morse most of the GOOD people of Port Angeles would prefer he just leave the trash where it lays if it comes with the price tag of making life even more  hellish for many people who already feel like they are living in hell. None of you seem to have even a drop of humanity  in you empty little souls. It's creepy and you need to knock it off. If you are not offering real help, leave the homeless alone.


This is a thoughtful post, a reasonable, establishment critique of the establishment. Being a public university president is an impossible job because the different stakeholder groups often make demands that are impossible to reconcile. Professor Schill appears to have performed admirably in negotiating the rapids, so to speak.

Those students' critique, however, doesn't agree with yours at all, and if their manifesto is accurate, they have legitimate grievances. The most worrisome charges are that the POTU has ignored the students' concerns, and refused to meet with them, and that his understanding of free speech is deeply flawed.

Given the students' detailed critique, isn't it possible that the two faux pas you cite are not anomalies? That these errors in fact, indicate that Professor Schill still has a lot to learn about identity, academic freedom and protected speech? It sure sounds like Professor Schill has neglected ONE stakeholder here, the student body.

The First Amendment is about silencing the press by the government, among other things and is not relevant to a comment section in a newspaper.  ADN can allow or disallow any comment it likes.  When one's peers (other commenters) can vote someone's trolling butt off of a comment section, perhaps we will learn to be more civil and we can start having an adult conversation.    I'm fine with that.


I agree. Money/politics/power mitigate against balance. If you are born here and want to continue to live here, survival issues trump other considerations. Over the years many have fought for controlled growth but their voices have been relegated to the margins. Not easy to mobilize and sustain citizen activists over the course of what amounts to many lifetimes.


I have been trying to keep my being inspired with the help of spirits to a minimum of two a day. For me, the game is a shot whenever he praises the American media system, truly praises the good that immigrants bring to our country,  praises social programs that raise hope and lower sickness...
I would expect a sober evening.
Truthfully, I may not watch. For some reason, as I have aged, more and more I take things personally and get really sad when one of my leaders shows himself, or herself, to be unequal to the task of caring for all Americans, and instead makes scapegoats of many. It is easier to watch when seen through the lens of a comedy show.

This is a baffling article for a Catholic publication that only begins to make sense if you view your Catholic faith through the lens of your political ideology.

Reverse your binoculars.

Viewing your politics through the lens of your Catholic Faith makes it quite clear how both Trump and Clinton are unfit and unqualified for the presidency - each in their own uniquely grotesque way.

We each have to make a personal decision, but for the life of me, I cannot understand how any Catholic can publicly advocate for either one of these noxious people as a clear moral choice.


With all due or little respect, take your pick, it is ridiculous for an 85 year old guy to run for the US Senate.  It is just not realistic.  You can say all the wonderful things about the elderly and all that and how mean it is to suggest that he may not live that long but that is reality.  Alice in Wonderland is just not the way to go unless you are a Democrat.


So which is it. We've been paying too much in property taxes all along that the city really didn't need all of it?

OR...

Raising property taxes is now inevitable causing rents to rise and deflating ALL the talk about "working to get affordable housing" back on the map.

Which is it?


"We need meat and produce from SOMEWHERE, but not necessarily from you. The fact is, 40 percent of this nation's produce comes from CALIFORNIA -- the place conservatives love to hate."--You really think the coastal cities are producing all that food?  Most of it comes from the rural inland counties.

"A single cattle unit (a cow with a nursing calf) requires more than 13.5 acres of short-grass prairie to graze per month, here in the semi-arid Rocky Mountain West. By comparison, areas best suited for cattle -- the Upper Midwest, the Willamette Valley of Oregon, and the pastures of the Old South -- require only TWO acres per YEAR."--Hey, if you want to repeal the Reclamation Act that made most of that arid farming possible, be my guest.  Guess what happens to California's farming industry at that point?


How quickly you all forget and forgive the criminals in your own party, responsible for lying us into wars, the deaths of thousands of people, both in and out of wars,  the "disappearance" of BILLIONS of dollars in Iraq, outing a CIA agent and putting her in substantial risk of  great bodily  harm,  deliberating dong away with regulations that protect our environment and make it easy for companies to pollute,  appointing people to the Supreme Court who've consistently worked to take away your Consitutional rights and transfer them to an elite, entitled few, brought this country to the absolute brink of another Great Depression, then spent the last 8 years complaining the the POS isn't cleaning up their messes fast enough to suit them. Totally irresponsible and repugnant. And you support this behavior. Ugh.


Interesting article in Catholic dash sf dot org on this.  Here is a quick quote which makes an important point:

"The Archdiocese of San Francisco owns the seminary and its grounds. In addition to the archdiocese, the sponsoring dioceses are Fresno, Honolulu, Monterey, Oakland, Orange, Reno, Sacramento, San Jose, Santa Rosa, Stockton and Spokane."

Quoting the article:  "Bishop Daly said that (decline in enrollment) is not a reflection of seminary administration rather a function of decisions by some dioceses to send seminarians to other seminaries as well as an overall drop in seminarians in some dioceses. Some such as the Fresno and Orange dioceses are sending men closer to home..."

Quoting +Daly:  "There are misconceptions about the program at St Patrick's Seminary--some see it as too conservative," Bishop Daly said. "The seminary is a solid program of priestly formation."

"...some see it as too conservative."  Since when, I wonder?


So, our population is steadily growing, and more cars are on the streets every day. We have limited real estate to to add more traffic lanes, so traffic will eventually grind to a halt unless people can get out of their cars. Walking and biking are good, healthy, sustainable alternatives to get around short distances in a climate and terrain that is well suited for it. As traffic gets thicker, they will become the quicker alternative as well. You can fit many more bikes and people into the space of a typical car, so it is a rational choice to help solve the problem. If you don't like, it drive until there is total gridlock which will happen with or without bike lanes. I will choose to ride my bike or walk, and live longer and get home or to work sooner. We need to plan for the inevitable, since total dependency on car transportation is a dead end. (And it is getting closer every day) I'm glad there are people in our government that have this vision.


It would be "funny" if it were not perfidious how some supporter-apologists for Pres. Trump will use the "throw the first stone" defense for the serial liar.
One of the "usuals" below asks in pseudo righteousness: "Can you name a politician who doesn't "gild the lily" as we say?".
Whaaa?!
That is not what Jesus meant; this is not only illogical but itself an abuse of truth and of the civility that makes community let alone civilization work. I am actually beginning to understand that much of the Trump support comes from people who simply want to justify their own perfidy.

MM, I watch both as well, however, I am able to see thru much of the media bias that you and many people who are inundated with the liberal views. Case in point: Have you ever wondered why SA has so many liberal based stories vs. the conservative side?
You don't see it cause we live in a liberal state, read liberal articles, and watch liberal news. It is no wonder you can't see the other views.
I agree with many of the views the liberals are trying to get thru, but, I also see how skewed the reporting is in favor of the same. If not for the division the 2 parties are creating, it would almost be comical to watch both CNN and FOX.

It has become clear that, in the USA in particular, the most meaningful action to combat global warming is (and will be) taken by lower levels of government at the state and municipal levels and by major corporations. They all do this because they recognize it to be in their best interests. In view of this reality the federal government could have adopted one of two obvious stances, i.e. to encourage what is happening or to discourage it. Trump has chosen to discourage it. This cannot be interpreted as an informed and intelligent approach.

WOW JMAC,  that parnellshakedown-website shows how all those clowns ran Alaska up hard on the rocks like the Wreck of the Princess May...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_May_(steamship)

Over 120 plates were damaged on the hull. The largest hole was about 50 feet (15 m) long and 18 inches (460 mm) wide. The engine rooms were flooded, and the ship could not move on its own. To remove Princess May from the rocks, the ship's owners hired Capt. W.H. Logan and the Seattle-based salvage tug Santa Cruz, as well as the William Jolliffe, one of the most powerful tugs on the British Columbia coast. Temporary shipways were built and rocks were blasted, and after several previous attempts failed, on September 3, 1910, the salvors were able to refloat the ship and tow it to port. This was the 32nd time that Captain Logan had successfully salvaged a ship. The cost of the salvage and the subsequent repair was $115,000.

Walker/Mallott = Captain Logan  ;-)

This dam has been providing power for quite some time & was recently refurbished; though summer run-off from snow/rain are diminished when previous winters weren't enough, the larger concern is when a dam initially is built with thawing glaciers as long-term source of run-off. Most of the multiple-year snow/ice pack above present streams, rivers & lakes has melted back to rock.
.
Had the Cooper Lake dam not been constructed, that lake wouldn't be anywhere as large now; I've seen the waters up to the intake for the penstalk many decades since 1961. The road up there was one of a few impacts to the area; this was a great salmon area prior to the dam.
.
Before we had the Beluga power plant with natural gas reserves, most electricity was from diesel or gasoline gen-sets; the relatively small Cooper Lake hydro was adequate awhile, & is not to be considered 'emergency' due to a fact: these things need to be run, to stay functional.

" There is no perfect solution to some issues. "
To this one there is: abolish the entire 'Indian status' nonsense and let the aboriginals become part of normal society. Don't you think they'd all be better off than they are if governments of a generation or two ago had implemented such a policy? Ah yes. The chiefs would lose their privileges and the hordes of lawyers and SocSci busybodies their income.


They all want and need him there, as evidenced by all of them wanting him and the United States involvement in trade deals, NATO, and EU security.  Whoops- there goes your narrative.  What makes you feel worse: that President Trump is steadily and successfully coming through on all his campaign promises, that NATO countries are now saying they'll pay their fair share, that the Courts have upheld almost all of his executive actions, that there is still no evidence of Russian collusion, that Leftist journalists are finally getting professionally crucified for the lies they state--- what would you say, hmmm?


If it was deemed inappropriate it was due to other commenters voting no on it, not "the ADN."


Seems like a mixed bag. Without knowing what people are being arrested for, many of these numbers are meaningless. For example... if all the asians were arrested for trespassing and all the whites for murder, it would have a large impact on how you viewed the numbers.

It would be useful to see similar stats based on income levels, then compare the race numbers to the income numbers.

My point is that the less money you have, the greater the chance you're going to jail.   I have no doubt that being black probably adds a few percentage points on top of that, but the prime factor? I'm not so sure.

I spent my share of time with jail/prison/probation decades ago and I can assure you that the one thing almost everyone there had in common was a lack of money.

"It's not my job to answer your questions."

I guess that's a good thing, considering you haven't been remotely successful at it ;-) The point is that if you are going to repeatedly post inaccurate assertions regarding climate science, then you should expect to be challenged.

In 2013, Business Insider ranked the math ability of many countries....the results...http://www.businessinsider.com/pisa-rankings-2013-12  As you can see the Chinese were at the top....yes the top of the rankings. The USA was at the bottom of their rankings. Does the Governor think the Chinese are stupid? Does the Governor think he can "snow" the Chinese?  The same is true for science. Does the Governor think the Chinese don't know anything about oil production and transportation?  Our Governor should have checked his own math again before he got on that plane.  Now if he was real smart he would have taken some people who lived in China for more than three years, are fluent in Chinese, and have a degree in math. Which he did not.

I would take a direct known carbon tax i can budget for or hedge against (by using less of something) than the true scam that is the speculative cap and trade. Cap and trade is a transfer of money from one jurisdiction to another, is rife with speculation and creates so much price volatility that one doesn't know what one is actually paying. Besides it is not particularly transparent. At least a carbon tax could in theory be directly offset by say an income tax reduction...


Does anyone really believe that if NK does develop ICBMs capable of reaching the mainland U.S. it would waste one on Canada?  There are no military targets worth hitting in this country.  And does anyone truly believe that the Americans would let a nuclear device explode near their borders if they could possible stop it?  Wind and radioactivity do not respect lines on a map.  Another click bait story from the G&M.


I realize my post did not fully answer your  question. The pool records the number of active duty members that use the facility. The pool then tells the MWR this number and the MWR pays the supplement to the pool. Active duty members pay nothing for open swim and lap swim. Active duty dependents and retired members pay a reduced fee.

Yes, we have children, lots of them. Yes we live on the outskirts of a major metropolitan area. Yes we send and have sent our children to Catholic schools, until and including 12th grade. We home school all our children until 9th grade, saving our money to send them to a good solid Catholic High School.  Some people may need a crash course in Catholic living...heroic living, living their vocation with trust, effort, prayer, abandonment, "kenosis", getting closer and closer and closer to unity with God each day...USING the raw material of parenting...the diapers, the shortages, the little joys, the tragic medical conditions that can come, the broken cars, washing machines, and all difficulties and all easy days too.
Kenosis! So few people understand.
So many Catholics have NO IDEA what I am talking about. None. They don't understand at any depth the meaning of the "universal call to holiness".
Some Catholics complain if they can't eat out more than once a month.


Love your column, I can now waste my time watching Gunsmoke reruns


We really should put this issue to bed. In two years time when the election rolls around no one will remember that two Conservative MP's went to the States to talk about the Khadr payment. If we remember a poll we will remember the poll that reported that most Canadians, that's Liberals as well, were not happy with the payment to Khadr. If the issue does come up during the campaign it will be simply that the Liberals paid Khadr $10.5 M. By itself it won't be enough to stop the Liberals from being re-elected, and even Conservatives know this. However incumbents are defeated not on one issue but on many, and this will simply be added to the list.


Jaded,  I agree.  I read this letter early this morning and have been thinking about it off and on.  If we really want to get at the truth of the incident/attack we need to know why Israel did it?  Let's assume the Israelis deliberately attacked the "USS Liberty".  From an Israeli standpoint what could the "Liberty" be doing that would or possibly would do that Israel would risk the wrath of the US?  That wrath could manifest itself in war, violent retaliation, ending all support, some support, or switching sides in the Arab-Israeli conflict (none of which happened).  What is it that Israel so feared from the "Liberty" that attacking it was deemed necessary and worth it?  Answering what the motivations of Israel were gets us closer to the truth than just writing about "attack and a cover-up".  By the way, it doesn't seem that the cover-up worked if it in fact there was a cover-up.


You missed out the bit about first telling the pastor his insurance was out of date. If you are going to create analogous situations try getting the facts right.
The Pope was asked to months ago for clarification not just by Cardinal Burke but by several other Cardinals who no doubt were representative of a larger number of prelates, priests and laity; he has not responded to the genuine concerns of a substantial number of the faithful and it seems he is not going to.
He continually preaches on the necessity of being pastoral yet his behaviour in this matter is anything but pastoral.
He did, however, respond to a request by Argentine bishops who asked if their interpretation of AL was the same as his. He replied privately that it was. Privately because as his interpretation was at odds with the constant teaching of his predecessors, his public endorsement would have caused a furore, which it has since his reply was leaked.


We're sorry, your response did not meet the minimum intellectual standard for response. This response was not computer generated.


Boy, you know it must be bad when even an advertising executive is choking on the never-ending lies and misinformation.


Please provide evidence of Obama's warnings. The only specific warning I know of was concerning Flynn who got on Obama's bad side by publicly criticizing the Iran deal. Obama then fired him and then got a FISA warrant to monitor his communications. Flynn's paid appearances ar conferences in Russia afterward were public knowledge.


Gender selective abortions pose an interesting quandary for the pro-choice camp. Most of them don't consider a fetus a person. Yet clearly some third world cultures have archaic attitudes towards the female gender, as Seema has pointed out is the case with a subset of the demographic originating from India.

If there were fewer assimilation pressures on these communities, the gender imbalance meter would go off its hinges if it were to gauge gender parity in these groups.

This should indeed rile up any feminist with integrity. Yet most of them keep quiet because they're afraid of confronting another culture and afraid of being culturally insensitive!


Nice letter. Very precise statement of the core hypocrisy of this man and the followers that are his enablers.


There are numerous practices learned over the past 125 years to prevent the massive forest fires that used to take numerous lives. We have relied too much on fire fighting & forgot about applying other techniques that were developed many decades ago.

In BC right now we at dealing with the results of a very ignorant NDP provincial gov't decision made years ago.  Some city decision makers tried to defy Mother Nature in Tweedsmuir South Provincial Park, Natural fires were extinguished within the park, no managed burns took place, and heaven forbid that we log mature pine in a provincial park. Mature pine forests burn as part of the natural cycle.

Mother Nature sent in the pine beetle to kill the mature forest and this scourge has killed hundreds of square miles of forest in the region that is now burning. Accessible dead trees were logged several years. The long dead trees on the ridge lines are almost like gasoline. These fires will rage until the rain (or snow) comes in the fall.

Those PWL charts you point to regularly provide a lot of information in a single page! Unfortunately they don't actually say on the page which statistic is tabulated. You probably have more clout than I do in getting them to add something to the title like "total return data (dividends plus share price changes) in percent" so that we all know what we are looking at.


I was actually responding to Tom Z's thinking:
"I suggest you find someone who has accepted the Church's teaching and has married and raised a family to better understand the Church's position on the matter."

If the uber Catholic anti gay folks are down to demanding sacrilegious marriages as the cure for 'the gay' they are on a very stupid path.


Rule #2 of deep holes; when it is a Financial hole, look around for whose hands are on the shovel handle. 10-1 it's a politician or a lobbyist. If it is, the odds go 20-1 that they will fight you for control of the shovel while chanting that they 'have to dig deeper to save (fill in the blank)'.

Hahahaha. It started because the Saudi's and the other Gulf states saw an opportunity to transform it into a sunni client state. Democracy had nothing to do with it.


I agree Motley.  I know first hand the expenses of rehab and the lack of success rate.   I lost a loved one to alcohol, and that was after several stints in rehab.  The person has to want to quit and get help.  Court orders are a waste of money (sometimes tax payers money).


The "small private ceremony" was a civil ceremony not recognized by the church.  They were "married in the church" later; but I may have erred in saying that Cardinal Wuerl presided.  I can't confirm that; I may have confused the wedding with the ceremony of reception into the church.
If Gingrich was received into the church with other candidates during the Easter Vigil, with Cardinal Wuerl presiding as Archbishop of Washington, I would be ok with that. I don't think the cardinal should have presided over a ceremony just for Gingrich. BUT: I don't feel as strongly about that as I would about the wedding; and I recognize that persons of good will can disagree.  I'll see if I can find out who officiated at the church wedding.
It's important to understand that Gingrich was not /is not simply a divorced/remarried person. He caused a lot of pain and made a lot of victims as he pranced through his first two marriages.

It might be better to have no government at all. I was one of the protest votes that helped to oust the PCs in Alberta. They needed a message sent to them but I made a huge mistake. The PCs spend a lot too but not like these amateurs. My only hope is that we didn't do enough damage that cannot be undone.


Whenever FOOLS like you use the left/right card it ONLY shows your ignorance and stupidity.

In your case, you've conveniently forgotten what Trump said before the election that if he LOST, the election was rigged.

SO, FU%@ OFF.


No, that would be the Republican majority in the legislature that voted last session to keep the oil tax credits and cut the PFD enough to make sure their masters got their tax breaks!


High hydro rates are an  outcome of bad decisions over the past 14 years. They can't be easily reversed as the government locked us into 20 year contracts.

To cover up the mistakes, they have cut the provincial portion of the HST and are now promising a 25% reduction in hydro rates. They say that they are mortgaging borrowing costs over an additional 25 years. But the reality is, they will have to raise taxes, or borrow more than $1billion more per year to make up for the shortfall.

By borrowing over an additional 25 years, the government is hoping that people don't understand that their children and grand children will be left with a large mortgage payment in the future - simply because the premier is trying to hide the true cost of their bad decisions.


no Tommy it's in spite of him.

“what idiot”? Homesteaders got free land from the federal government, then they passed on the free land to their kids who are now gleefully depleting the Ogallala Aquifer. Lower class people like me had to actually pay for our land, so I value it and will not destroy it for short-term gain.


I think the answer to that is pretty obvious. He is protecting a Quebec Oligarchy (while attacking Canadian small business).


r:  Perhaps you are new to our country. If so you might want to take a new citizen civics and government course where they explain how our Presidental election process works. If you are not new to the country ask any 7 year old and they can explain it to you.


It is OK to be critical of Republicans once in a while (if that is what you want to call Trump and his brood).  You have to realize he is a farce and incompetent at some point, right?  He and his administration are making it very difficult for those on the right to keep defending him.  Not your fault, just the reality.


love this story; thank you!


Sorry, I mistook you for someone who could see that I was making a direct connection between the self serving partisan actions of the last administration and the closing of a local medical provider (as per the article) as a result, throwing a few thousand people experiencing great pain into further turmoil. One of them visited me 5 minutes after finding out it was their last visit to the clinic and was visibly distraught. This literally has ramifications for this person's whole life. We talked about the situation, and believe me if you saw this person and what they deal with every day, and knew the quality of person they are despite that, you would know this goes way beyond a "rant" about Obama for me. Way beyond.

So now that we've said "sorry" to each other, are we good?


If you're going to confront Canadians with our dark past, you can't be selective. Would Richter bring up the fact that slavery (of aboriginals) was common among the settlers of New France? Early feminists warning of the "Yellow Peril"? How about Tommy Douglas' support for eugenics and for separating homosexuals from society where they could be "treated"?


I wonder how I would feel, were I stationed in Iraq or Afghanistan right now? Maybe the Bronco's deserved to lose Sunday....maybe I'm sick and tired of watching them. They ARE OVER PAID!!!!
I know several people who have told me this past weekend...they ARE DONE with the NFL.


Just because the president or some other official wants something kept from the American public, doesn't justify keeping it secret.  For example, why should the transcripts of trump's calls with the Mexican and Australian leaders be kept from the public?  To turn trump's question on him, "What's he hiding?"  The only logical conclusion one can reach about trump wanting to keep the contents of these calls hidden is so he can lie to the American public about what was said.


Somehow I clicked on a Hillary-bashing link that lectured on and on about how corrupt and heinous etc etc etc she was, had been, and frankly will continue to be, if we are not vigilant. OK, the way I clicked was I want to know how and why the Trump-supporters hate her so much.

Funny thing: it would be simple to substitute Trump's name everywhere and the so-called "Clinton Cartel" with say, the Koch Brothers and it would play out the same. Yet, this would then be fake news.

Is it all in the name and the political side that supports that name?


Are we allowed to criticize him or is that racist?


Trump knows anything about foreign policy?  Have you been watching the news???


And I have a great deal of sympathy for women - particularly those crying in my arms post-abortion.


And not one word about Big Oil's $700 million in tax credits, and no production taxes until gawd knows when.  I still haven't read exactly where Reinhold would cut.  I know with certainty it won't be in Big Oil's money pot.


And in Quebec, bigots run around shrieking about all the English they have to "listen to and put up with".


I read an article recently on Vox.com which pointed out a distinction we need to make but often fail to do...that critical thinking about Islam, as a philosophy, a religion, is desirable, as is critical thinking about any religion or philosophy.  I am not a fan of all practices of Islam (or Christianity for that matter.)  However, bigotry and hatred against Muslim PEOPLE is a different matter and this I oppose unequivocally.


In other words, the God YOU have created in your own image and likeness is neither loving, merciful, kind nor just.  Your God operates on the same moral plane as SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich, the man who ran the Wannsee Conference. Both your God and Heydrich condemned Jews for being Jews -- had Heydrich survived the war, he would undoubtedly been hanged as a war criminal. But you clearly believe he was doing the right thing morally; it is, after all, what you have God doing.

I believe you should rethink your stance.


I am sorry, but when your family gets bullied at the level her family has been in the last couple of years by people who really should grow up. And then look to the party for support to find none in beating back the bullying....lets see how much of an adult you are at the end.


Yes, I hope so. Love to see one developed that will combat Parkinson's and reverse Alzheimer's. Already got one called a defibrillator in my chest. Hate to have to swear at people how come they don't have one in the airplane and then no one knows how to operate one. Love that my health insurance paid for the whole thing. Technology is so damn good for us and we are lucky they help protect us and save lives today. Would love to see a microchip implanted in my wrist so I can access my ATM and replace my PIN and SSN. We definitely need it now.

ESPN Senior Writer:

Quarterback Colin Kaepernick will stand during the national anthem next season, sources told ESPN on Thursday.

Kaepernick no longer wants his method of protest to detract from the positive change he believes has been created, sources told ESPN. He also said the amount of national discussion on social inequality -- as well as support from other athletes nationwide, including NFL and NBA players -- affirmed the message he was trying to deliver.


Mayor Murray is too stupid to know the difference between an immigrant an illegal alien. He's been confused his entire life.


No, actually I was referring to invention and innovation.  Technology, the arts, political systems.  White guys.


It is not really legalized without the right to grow your own. You can do more jail time for growing a couple of plants in WA than you would in many dry states. Stupid.

 Fox News tonight (and this is a real humdinger)

"Feds arrest IT staffer for Wasserman Schultz trying to leave country"
[SNIPS]

* Several relatives of Awan worked for House Democrats and were fired months ago. Awan, however, was kept on staff by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., even though he was no longer allowed access to the House server network.
* Authorities also have looked into IT workers putting sensitive House information on the “cloud” and potentially exposing it to outside sources.
* Fox News is told that federal officials arrested Awan at Dulles airport in suburban Virginia as he was “trying to leave the country” ...

Nope. A Republican-led America isn't my idea of freedom and equality for all. There's way too much of the have and have-more mentality. Now Trump's going to allow the Republicans in Congress dismantle the Affordable Care Act and replace it with nothing. That's the Republican way: DEREGULATION and let someone else clean up their fricking messes. Just like when Dubya left office. Wiped out the Bill Clinton $286 billion surplus and replaced it with $7 trillion spent on two bogus wars; Iraq and Afghanistan. The wars only entrenched the Bush dynasty oil investments. That's all it did and most voters don't even know that or don't care.


In the 1500s there was a 97% scientific consensus that the sun revolved around the earth.  As you may know, the consensus was subsequently proven to have been incorrect.


How long did these these "hard-working" Senators have to straighten everything out?  Three years?  Four? Five?  How many of them campaigned on "repeal and replace," and, when they achieved a majority with a president of their own party in place, gave us cause to cheer?   They're shameful!!!  Don't wonder why we're cynical and will be reluctant to turn out in 2018.


This guy was either on spice, crack, or is mentally I'll.  He is clearly a danger to the public. Who is the judge who stipulated only $ 5000  bail for this walking time bomb?


My Chickasaw mother was a pioneer in the field of Occupational Nursing. She ran the medical departments for Reynolds Metals, Oregon Logging Supply (world's largest) and the Port of Portland. She was a founder of an organization that grew to 10 western states with 3500 members who worked with legislators and industry to bring to fruition the safety laws protecting blue collar workers today. I excuse your gross ignorance on the subject and inability to do your homework before forming an opinion.


One line taken out of a poem rarely makes sense.


If Trump lied to the LGBT community during the campaign, how can you trust him not to let you down on issues you care about?


The dumbest post of the day for sure...


It will be fun to watch anyway.  You mean that you are stranded on the side of the road in your 140k clown car.  How sad.

I took 3 larium pills  while travelling in 1998.   The dreams I had were like some of the worst blood and guts slasher films on steroids.  Vivid and disgusting and so real.

 I threw away the rest and was willing to welcome malaria over the horror show those pills brought on.   I can completely see how it could affect these guys in that environment.


That truly is unreal. Must be the dead


LOL.
The guy joined the Nazi group because he wanted to be far right wing like his father.
The Nazis and fascists movement are consider by historians and politicians to be far right wing.
And u claim that he is liberal?

The man was mentally ill for being far right. In fact, many would argue that all far right are mentally ill ppl.

But declaring a Nazi/fascists to be liberal...well, the Nazis regularly paste others with their own paint brush in hopes of deflect ting.


I personally know a Catholic creationist. I do not discuss it with her. Neither does her husband, nor does her eldest son, who is a chemist.


“We must strip from our Catholic prayers and from the Catholic liturgy everything which can be the shadow of a stumbling block for our separated brethren that is for the Protestants.”  - Archbishop Annibale Bugnini, main author of the New Mass, L'Osservatore Romano, March 19, 1965.
Perhaps an apology is due to David Lanfranchi.


No - A juicy steak sizzling on the barbecue.


The headline should read sexual orientation and not sexuality.

The majority of us have sexual feelings and engage in sexual activity.

Someone who suffered because of their sexuality could refer to someone who contracted herpes, for example, or someone whose feelings were hurt after a one night stand.


Wow!

If this is true then tension levels just went up two levels of scary.

What is the US planning to do in retaliation? There will be retaliation.


Go ahead mauiday disagree, you are just proving your own ignorance.

The Democrats U.S. Island State of Hawaii became "Insignificant" due to Hawaii Politicians Actions, the California Republic then became the Center Piece for Democrat President Obama's "Pacific Pivot", mostly due to the California Republic's  55 Electoral College Votes (Obama Re Election Campaign).

The Evidence is very visible, mauiday, do you see ANY U.S. Navy CVNs (Aircraft Carriers) Based at Hawaii.  How about an U.S. ABM System like at California Republic, Alaska, Japan, Romania, Poland  (also discussed at Camp Smith), typical Democrats cannot even see what is actually physical at Hawaii or is not at Hawaii only listening to the Democrats' $5 Billion A Year Propaganda Machine and the Democrats' U.S. Labor Union Owned Teachers and Professors.

Democrats at Hawaii demanded the removal of the previous Anti Aircraft/Anti Ballistic Missiles  at Oahu Hawaii.


Horrible decision by Elway.  When you look backward, you get what you had, and it's bad.

Sloter played better than both the other guys, but one is the 'starter' and the other is another 'Elway first round pick' hands off!  There's no way this traitorous bum should be on this club, None.


Sensible  solution:  Renzetti and hubbie Dougie Saunders stay out of the U.S. while the rest of us visit as usual. We will  wait  for news of their  latest missionary trek to the third world to recruit some enlightened  immigrants they can celebrate,   in contrast to the alleged  barbaric nativism of we European settlers and invaders.


I have a young friend who is an observant Muslin. She wears an hijab,doesn't shake hands with men including me. She and her family came to Canada as refugees from Afghanistan some years ago.The reason they were refugees is because her father and uncle helped other displaced victims of the Taliban in Pakistan,and for doing this the Taliban shot and killed her uncle and wounded her father in front of her.My friend and her family are decent,,  hardworking, peace loving people,but as a result of a rise in both verbal and  physical attacks in Toronto on hijab  wearing women, she is now afraid to take transit in Toronto.That is just for dressing as a Muslim she risks personal verbal and or physical attacks.That is Islamophobia. To be clear ,I am a 69 year old white male who comes from a British heritage and my ancestors came to Canada around the the time of ConfederationI am also an Athiest.The opposition to this motion because of free speech concerns is just a cover for bigotry.  Shame


Evidently you neither read nor understood my logical arguments about the false math used by deniers of the 97%.  Did you go back and see that the false math was used in the papers you linked to?  No, of course you didn't.  You also ignored the implicit consensus of all the science societies and organizations in the world, which I stated twice.  Yet you continue to push the falsehoods of others without even considering or responding to the arguments I made against the falsehoods.  That makes you intellectually dishonest.  Maybe liar is too strong a term, but the result is the same.


nice


Good riddance.  All these Islamic fundamentalists/Jihadis should be summary shot if and when captured
and buried with pigs.  Similar to what the US did when fighting the same muslims prior to WWI.
This practice really tamped down the muslim attacks on US troops.  When fighting Islamic fundamentalists
there is no room for mercy as they will see this as weakness. It is just how they think and it is the only
thing they respect.  Some things never change and we need to learn from history.


So I would assume that Senzatela would be a bullpen guy going forward along with Chatwood...unless they want to start reducing innings for Freeland/Marquez and they can inter-change them.


Or, the alternative is do as junior hockey does; continue to play your (NHL) schedule absent the players who are at the world junior championships each year. Nobody seems to mind in junior hockey; it's an accepted way of doing things right or wrong, so be it. This NHL-Olympic 'issue' is not that difficult a nut to crack! Geez.


Good point.  So much for the argument that we need to have armed people everywhere to 'protect us' from active shooters.

In the US there are around 12,000 homicides by guns per year.  That's a rate of .0039%, substantially less than your Alaska traffic crash number (note: your math is wrong).

Seems to me that the gun nuts should be far more concerned about buckling their seat belts than packing heat for self protection (or to heroically protect their neighbors).


If that is bigotry bring it on.
Someone has to stand up for our kids

I used to watch Morning Joe and really liked it when Trump was running for president.  They could not say enough good about him.  I guess it was for ratings.  The when they figured he was going to win they started trashing him along with all the other media.  My philosophy is don't dish out the insults unless you can take it as well.  They certainly went over the line with some of the things they called him "poop pants, little hands, schmuck, etc".  They had no respect for Trump  so why should he for Joe and Mika.


Knew this, really.

You were being a Gentleman, and I appreciate that.☺


Well, that is because this is a sneaky article, pretending to be about caring for poor and African women, when, in fact, it wants to justify taking their rights away.  It is written like the writer is a double agent conservative pro-lifer in disguise.


I am confused and trying to educate myself. IF Sharia Law was allowed, how would this effect non-Muslim people in the US? What would become illegal which is now legal? What power would Sharia Law have in the courts?


THIS IS A TEST:

Any fool knows Star Trek is the best albeit lacking the technology available to more recent shows. Your post is total crap.

That's not what I really think or how I talk...just giving you a crap comment :)


If the Legislature goes home without a revenue plan and at least the start of a budget strategy, will the last one leaving please disconnect the lights? We'll all be packing or digging in, and won't need you for quite a while..


Biyu Situ, the owner of Mayflower massage, was convicted of bribing agents.  "Kaneshiro spokesman Chuck Parker says Honolulu prosecutors dropped a prostitution case against her because she cooperated in the case against Li." Isn't dropping the charges against Biyu Situ to get her to cooperate essentially bribery as well?  Isn't bribery paying someone off to do something that they don't really want to do on their own?


They probably some of the trash Obama and the Democrates brought to our state.


Our store shelves would be empty.


Yes I would be afraid as trump is going to hand off the car industry to China where in time we will buy a superior electric car.


You don't need to be enlisted to die from an ICBM strike in Denver.

If the trails are "closed", HFD shouldn't be allowed to go onto them, and potentially offending hikers should be so advised.  Doesn't make sense to governmentally support illegal activity.


It must be YOU, all they are doing is reporting the facts. The majority of Americans (and the world for that matter) were able to see the facts up front.


President Trump is not 'baiting' Un, rather, as I said, he is speaking in terms that Un and his generals can understand.

I am dismayed that you interpreted what I said about the safety of nuclear weapons is me thinking of myself as and authority. I am not. I am however, a degreed, experienced engineer with some knowledge of how nuclear weapons are constructed. The incidents I refer to demonstrate incidents where the device did not detonate after exposure to extreme forces. In 1980, in Arkansas, a Titan missile in a silo exploded as a result of a liquid fuel leak, which blew the 740 ton silo lid off and catapulted the 2nd stage and warhead into the air. The second stage then blew up and the 9 Megaton warhead was thrown 100 feet away from the entrance to the facility. The designed in safety systems worked and the warhead did not detonate and no radioactive material was released. The forces on the warhead were immense. Sounds pretty safe to me. Titan missiles are no longer active.


If you think Trump is that smart then I've got a $400 campaign hat to sell you.  All fluid systems are inherently chaotic and thus difficult to model.  Yet, somehow, we can forecast weather quite accurately most of the time.  (Harvey's torrential rains were nailed 48 hrs out, for instance). Climate is inherently more difficult to model due to the longer time frames, so you just dismiss those models are worthless.  Yet, climate models have been correct or, more recently, a bit too conservative with regards to the changes we are seeing worldwide.  The entire polar amplification has long been predicted and we've seen that in spades, for instance.
The goal is not to redistribute global wealth - you misrepresent the issue for political gain - the goal is to save the earth, the most noble of cause of all.  Your willful ignorance only hinders our efforts.  Why you'd sacrifice the habitability of our biosphere for political gain is beyond me.


And the third problem is there aren't enough Democrats to run anything in Washington any more.  They got voted out.

And that is just the way it is until at least 2018 and maybe until 2020 and beyond.


a site that moderates? concerned more about being politically correct?
why are 3 questions posed to all who post?


Is Trump the only elected Republican official who doesn't believe that Russia meddled in the 2016 elections?


Gofundme #QuebecMosque.


My guess is that she will keep her leadership position.  She voted the way her constituents wanted.  Give credit for representing her District.


You have a sick mind. Remember it was the Nazi germans that came up with the roundabout, and gas chambers.


I am not a Conservative, but I wonder why Ambrose didn't run., ruling herself out by taking over the interim leadership.

She did a good job.

And I must say that she was kinda impressive in the speech she gave at the start of the "convention".

Not truly fluent in French, but she seemed to move effortlessly between English and French.

I don't think any of the Conservative candidates will be as impressive as the leader as she would have been taking on Trudeau.

See my comment below on the procedure.  This is a total mess. Posted before the 10th round has been announced.


People are pronouncing it various ways. Even the Natives can't seem to agree on the pronunciation. :)


interesting indeed.  We in a budget crisis and this is the solution they are coming up with to help fill the gap.  Can't believe we votes these people in to represent us.  Joke on us folks.


Okay, you've got a point there DC - I'd say those are quite a different animal though and could be treated as such - essential you're buying on spec anyway; i.e. the unit in question doesn't truly exist yet.
For an existing home, a contract is a contract - if you want out, one can always sell once you have possession.


sounds a bit self righteous to me.


I heard the interview on CBC of Layne Morris whose twisting of the facts to suit his opinion was breathtaking in the extreme. I think, if he could, Mr. Morris would blame the attack on Pearl Harbor on Omar Khadr. For a former elite combat soldier to come across as so dumb was staggering.


We need to reduce the number of King Crab in order to save them. How about we use the same logic on the size of government.


Globe and Mail = Fake news.
Throw their free copies at Tim Hortons into the garbage bin where they belong.


I think that any happily remarried couple could be included.  I cannot see the rationale for forcing anyone to divorce.


PLEASE  recognize the fact that there is more to Canada than a narrow strip called southern Canada  close to the USA. Time for those who live on this strip to be educated.


The inability to spell "since" might have something to do with low wages.


Thanks for that. Good read.


The comments you are referring to, directly from the PMO, I also guess Butts.


Well hopefully there will be serious reform of our justice system which will free up a lot of money.  We have way too many people rotting in jail.  We really don't need to be just locking people up and then keeping them there because they are too poor to make bail.  Your tax dollars at work.  At least the train will help people get around once it is built.

Ever been to Washington DC?  It sure was nice that one didn't need to rent a car there.  Bet you must work for the auto industry?


You are a fool!


And how much tax revenue are these Seattle-based, billion dollar seafood companies generating for the state?


I don't get you liberals, you hate people that are racist but you are prejudice against people who work in Alaska but live elsewhere.
And lastly, you don't add or raise taxes in the middle of a recession because it deepens the recession or starts a depression.


So your ok voting for a pathological lying Wall Street back candidate who has blood on her hands?


If there is a link between anti-GMO and climate change, it is this: GMO's will never feed the world's poor. They can't afford it. Over 80% of farms globally are under 5 acres. They are feeding the world's poor, locally. And they employ people. Mechanized corporate farms, for which pesticide-addicted GMO's are intended, employ one person for every 1000 acres. One farming method burns fossil fuels, the other one doesn't.


w00t! w00t!

Vote Joe 2016!!


We're glad to hear your tablet reading experience has improved. Cheers!


They guy will really push President Trump over the threshold.  There is a lot of fear and loathing out there that we are losing America and it's precious identity!  Trump is now pulling away big time from Crook Hillary, Pinocchio's sister!


If it was so important to lock up this land why did former President Obama  wait  until his last days in office?? Did something happen I am unaware of??


Earl Richards, you have been right for years they are making it impossible to have smaller oil companies and Alaskans find, sell and profit from risky oil exploring!

The big three own too many leaders in the state of Alaska, I feel this  will kill Alaska's economy but it seems  Concophillps and the others will be doing great!


Are the increases in 2002 dollars or 2017 dollars? Imagine a government under providing funding a public education system for those fifteen years, but continued to give 50% of yearly funding to private schools? It is time for CC to get to the private sector.


Medicare for all.  That would solve the problem for public employees and everyone else.


Well, Mr. Broaderick was either Dang hungry, or, he was on METH????????????????    A very high percentage of robberies are committed by people on METH.  I am reading stats that report  73%-80%.   Now,  it  is possible that he forgot, or refused to take his medication for Mental Illness?????   What else would explain this type of behavior, Armed Robbery???????       OK, all the naysayers will jump on the band wagon saying, Innocent until proven guilty..............

What do you think Motley??????


I agree, Schumer and Pelosi are the way to go. No hypocrisy there.


Your facts are true, but they can't understand your meaning.. all "THEY" see is 85 million in profit. And they go bananas over peanuts. socialist want every single penny and more.


Artificial barriers to employment such as criminal and credit background checks and race and gender were erected and/or supported by today's Republicans, so by default you choose to support them on welfare. You have no one to blame but yourself.


OK I give you that but.......behave like a grown up, your our PM good gracious.  Let your TAXPAYING PUBLIC in the loop.  Let the media type travel with you in case something important happens and us TAXPAYERS need to know how our "fearless leader" will handle any such happenings.

 Please give your head a shake Justin has been on "holidays" all his life.


Looks like they are methodically going through these issues.  I am glad they are taking the time.  These are very substantial decisions.
