Even if Lone Rock wins. the taxpayers are the real losers.

The  Governor, Secy of State and Treasurer won't pay a penny.   It will just be added to the hundreds of millions or billions of dollars in deficits.


Two are not in Seattle.  I doubt too many Amazonites would feel safe in Bremerton.


Good ideas revealed does not stimy business..unless you want to manipulate it.
There is a high dollar industry influencing our goverment...we should keep those negotiations open as possible..


It hasn't. When the inevitable bill comes into effect, some of the posts on this forum, even those that made it through, will be cause for prosecution.

Orwell in our times.


ignorant false anti trump opinion piece, cu the trump hating trollbots, its time for some excuse making hate,, hence your post don!


Then he should not be running for public office. You're obsessing over this story.  Give it a rest and stop preaching.


LOL, that is hilarious penned by an American.

I could go on for days listing terrible behaviour out of the US but why bother, it probably wouldn't sink in.


The journalist uses zero effort to back up her "unlikely" claim. So there was j-1 workers there or not? If so...how are the accusations unfounded. Horrible reporting.


I can't quite understand the need for 10 days of training.  If the had that much training, you think that they would have learned how not to destroy luggage.


We need a revolution, and soon.


it's not like we rely on people who say "budgets balance themselves" and lie about tripled deficits.

How's that math working for you?

Oh the horror we had when Ralph placed Alberta as the only debt-free jurisdiction in Canada


That statue of limitations needs to be revisited.


Gardner also needs to take into consideration that since it came out that the RNC is paying for Trump's and Jr.'s attorney fees in the Russia investigation, many people do not want their donations used for that.  Trump brags alot about being a billionaire - let him pay for his and his family's attorney fees!


Bad grammar and race baiting are a horrible combination.


JF,  That's great news, 81% funded by the private sector!  Let's make it 100% and end tax exemptions for those who donate to PBS for a true 100%.  I wouldn't want those big bad corporations getting tax deductions at our expense!


Not much.  So any talk of "getting tough with China" out of the White House (like so much else) is a bunch of hot air - including his August "inquiry into if inquiry is needed" on China's trade practices.


Same here, the Conservative Party of Canada no longer belongs to Tories, it has  been hijacked  by the Reform gang.
Maybe some day the whole Reform thing will be seen for what it really is in all its ugliness and the real Tories can retake their party.


Check  out the trails in Chugach State Park. You'll find the same that "hikers" have deposited.


Couldn't agree more Puma - the virtue signalling has gone from the sublime to the ridiculous. I find it unbelievable that Chrystia (don't make me cry) Freeland can speak those words with such earnestness AND a straight face.

There musn't be any kool-aid left....


You are speaking to a group that thinks history began on their birthdays.  You are so correct about Berg.  He made them so mad that they had to murder him.


That's not what I said at all. I was making the point that common sense should have told both of them that where they were going would not be easy to get out of if something happened to them. They are both all fortunate to be alive, but the narrative at least from Lindhout's mother is to have the government assume some of the blame.


"China assertively looks out for its own interests on the world stage, as it has done for decades, centuries, millennia."
.
I disagree.  They have only become aware of the importance of the world within the past few decades.  Read "The Governance of China" by Xi, and you'll understand their new enlightenment.  China's past was all about keeping the outside world; outside.  The Great Wall was about keeping the world out.  The Opium Wars, were all about keeping the world out.  The embrace of Communism, was all about keeping the world out.
.
But things are different today.


Hopefully next week. That truly is the juicer one on the pork menu.


The America system is designed to apply checks and balances on the use and abuse of power. The  Electoral College is specifically designed to prevent demagogues  who may sweep in on a wave of  publci hysteria.  Hillary was stopped for good reason.


"viola?" Well, I like violas but not everyone does. They're hard to tune and difficult to play. I'm guessing you're trying to type on your flip phone so you get a pass.


Can you imagine the mess the federal budge would be in if Rae and Layton had been in charge.  It would look like, well, Ontario!
Harper kept spending under control and provided Trudeau with 2 balanced budgets.  The spend-thrift took care of that.


Margarita's in Anchor-town . . . . I'm thinking LaMex or Fletchers. The last one I had was at Fiori D'Italia on McRae Rd. . . . excellent with a very tasty steak. They have a nice selection of top shelf spirits.


This is ridiculously late in the game to start tracking this type of information.

The CRA should have been doing this 10 years ago


Why is there no mechanism on line to help a veteran down on his luck?  Lot a time and money available to persecute and prosecute, but none to help a guy regain his footing.  At one time, there existed programs to help, generated by the Middle Class tax dollars.  Where did the money go?


No surprise.  Another sellout by the government to their big business buddies.


Under the Constitution, health care is a provincial jurisdiction.  Harper favoured limiting federal involvement to the prescribed fiscal transfers to the provinces.

The provinces have, to varying degrees, "looked the other way" on some clinics because there is a real demand for their services.  Rather than exploring how this might best be legitimized and managed, Philpott wants to ensure everyone gets the same inadequate service....the tyranny of the lowest common denominator.

It beggars the mind how the Liberals will legalize pot, explore the Portuguese model of legalizing opioids without prescription, yet insist that paying a premium to get required medical treatment sooner is illegal and must be stopped.

If that's their idea of leadership on the health care file, I'd just rather they make the fiscal transfers and leave programming up to the provinces.


Considering that this guy is doing what the cops can't/won't/don't have time to do, I say thank you! As someone who had their vehicle stolen this summer, it's frustrating to hear the police say, "nothing we can do other than add your truck to the list". Is there possibly some "professional jealousy" on the side of APD?


Are you upset that Trump hasn't put his assets in a blind trust?  Or is this just selective outrage?


Don't worry I see where you coming from.  I think he looks and talks like a stoned Kermit the frog.  But thats just me...


I don't think it's simply a question of retaining survivors on a commission dominated by clerics and religious. I think we have to consider allowing the survivors to direct the commission, with guidance from the usual suspects, but without interference. I will not hold my breath waiting for Francis to show he has smelled all the sheep, even those who have been sheared by their shepherds.


Your comment is silly.  It presumes only partial, and arguably errant, aspects of an anthropologic, sociologic, and subjective view of sexuality.  The whole reason the Church persists in her teaching (..yes, she persisted and still persists...) is because she communicates the life of GRACE available to those who follow the gospel of Christ, her founder.  Grace helps us in our growth in HOLINESS, our coming to know and see Christ better, that we might one day be able and worthy to see HIM in all His glory.  If we strive for grace, them the subjective views, and first hand "knowledge" and "experience" of the laity can be properly weighed by their true worth and merit.  Then we see that the personal arguments and experience of an adulterer, pervert, pornographer, sodomite, fornicator, etc, dont really matter much.


It's not just President Trump's "associates" that have "links to Russia" it's his immediate family too. A convenient omission don't you think?
And where was the great Russian friend and fellow oil czar Rex Tillerson in all this.
No word about him either.
Too compromised?


Many of cities I've visited with large homeless populations have made great strides cleaning-up lawless, lewd, and intimidating behavior in their downtown by restricting loitering, sidewalk blocking, and especially panhandling. This requires restricting the "rights" of an uninvested few to safeguard the rights of a much larger civil and invested majority.

Think of this as democracy in action. I'm restricted by many laws to safeguard the majority. I have to abide by zoning rules, licensing rules, and pay for motor vehicle insurance. In Eugene, I'm forced to pay for many public services I don't use like buses, libraries, even schools.

Why the sympathy for taking a few "rights" away from badly behaving, non contributing "citizens"?


Mark Sargent and his Flat Earth Clues brought me to FE, and Patricia Steere kept me here ;-)
Kidding aside, Mark is easy to listen to and a pretty good ambassador for FE.

Thank you Rep. LeDoux for all your hard work in  representing your constituents by assuring we fix this budget crisis in a fair way in which EVERYBODY contributes and not just hard working successfull Alaskans.


He "had travelled to North Korea regularly on humanitarian missions". Obviously, NK did not like his interpretation of "humanitarian".


Prove it! 😃


Putting drunk drivers in the state penitentiary is absurd. A year in the local jail would be worse punishment. She simply does not need to be taking up a bed in such a high security venue when beds are at a premium.


Your post sounds bigoted.

Americans are diverse. Plenty of them support gun restrictions.

It is an act of bigotry to say "don't feel too sorry for the loss of life because chances are they were NRA supporters".

That kind of stereotyping is no different from the mechanisms of racism and bigotry since time immemorial...


The best way to reduce the number of junkies in Seattle would be for the safe injection sites to provide hot shots to all of their clients.

Probably get rid of all of Seattle's junkies in 6 months tops.


Unless he was killed for his gender issue, what does it have to do with this story?


LOL. This is gonna drive the idiot in the WH crazy. What will he do about this? Take to Twitter, and insult their moms?

He cannot threaten the tax situation of these owners...even here, the legality of doing that is highly questionable, but the quislings among the conservatives in the Congress have no spine at all.


Exceptions, often make for poor rules.


My God, how could the standards get any lower than they are now?

I'm sure there are many dedicated hard working men and women in the national guard, however, on the few times I've had to go meet with them I don't know that I ever met any. Vacant stares and vigorous phone tapping were all I ever saw in the endless rounds of inconclusive meetings I was forced to attend.

I understand what the article means when it says, "The aptitude test cutoff for infantrymen is lower because it is a more physical job." My question is, is there a mechanism to weed these "grandfathered" people out before they rise to a dangerous level or is this truly a case of the one-eyed man leading the blind? Our state has a $4B!! deficit and can't afford to waste $$$ reinforcing failure.


You can ask me what my electricity bill was for December 2016.

It was $115.65 for an end unit townhouse in Toronto, 506kWh of energy used.

This was approximately $30 more than average, however I was home for the month of December and spent a lot of time in the shop running woodworking machinery and shop lighting.

Not sure why you would consider $80 to $90 a month a tragedy?


LOOK! Over there! A Putinbird!


Everybody disrespects everybody these days.


And the Russians gave tens of millions to a host of democrats to grease the skids on a uranium deal.  Selective outrage?


Although I feel your pain, you either must not eat very often or drive to the east side of the freeway to do your grocery shopping.  I do 90% of my grocery shopping in Springfield and when I do happen into a Eugene store to pick something up, I'm always lost for minute at the checkout stand - buy a bag, stick it in my pockets, carry it out to the car in the little plastic basket??


The fossil fuel industry is the most heavily subsidised industry in the world.
.
The cost of climate change is gargantuan: Check the payouts on crop, flood, tornado, hurricane - and the huge premium increases for insurance.
.
The cost of a highway system, and all of its upkeep; an entire system of law enforcement to support automobiles; the cost of death and injury; the cost of respiratory and other chronic illness; an entire system of essentially compulsory insurance.
.
The military cost of the fossil fuel industry - mostly paid by the US, but also by every member of NATO.  Aircraft carriers and troop deployments are incredibly expensive.
.
The cost of agency capture to our political system and institutions of democracy.  The GST cut, alone - made for the political benefit of the oil industry - has now cost over $ 140 billion.
.
All of it borne by the public.
.
These subsidies distort the market price, and tilt the balance against less harmful alternatives in the market.

I always find it funny to read all the supportive votes under posts such as yours.

It is funny because, over the years, every time I flip to this website in the early morning hours, the most popular, top-number-one most-read section is the daily horoscope section.

Click, ah yes, those deranged, pitiful delusional religious people, they need therapy, click, now let's see, over here, what does my horoscope have in store for me today, oh my, "what you attempt over the next few days may not work out the way you expected it to but it will still work out for the best", well, that is a relief, I was worried about how much my work proposal was going to achieve, but I feel better now...


I was a student in Florence an eon ago.  That town is so beautiful.


Before any new taxes are created, cut the budget further across the board except for what is necessary to protect people from other people. That is the fundamental purpose of government. Families & businesses cut their budgets to fit their income. The state should be no different.
There can be no compromise with an income tax. Once you start it up again, it just gets worse. An income tax means the fruits of your labor do not belong to you. The government decides what you keep & collects it through coercion, intimidation & threats. That is why Alan Keys called it “the slave tax”. It is a tax for a collectivist society not a society founded upon the principals of individual liberty & freedom. Marx & Engels supported the income tax as the 2nd tenant of their “Communist Manifesto”. Our Founding Fathers, champions of freedom & individual liberty, did not believe in a direct tax on individuals. They supported tariffs, which is a consumption tax. A sales tax is a consumption tax.


John, I agree with your post about the population crisis but our deserts are in fact getting greener due to CO2 fertilization.

CSIRO research shows the CO2 fertilization effect occurs where elevated CO2 enables a leaf during photosynthesis to extract more carbon from the air or lose less water to the air, or both.

Essentially, plants in the desert are using far less of the limited water the area receives and are slowly encroaching in deserts like the Sahara and in Australia where the research was conducted.

We're only getting increased desertification in areas affected by dramatic human deforestation which has little if anything to do with climate but caused by the forestry industry or locals depleting limited trees for fuel or shelter.


Possibly it's a matter of the current consequences in Alaska being, well, essentially non-existent and the DA is pissed as well. So the Feds were asked along for the ride in hopes of actually punishing the criminals. Just a thought...


I look forward to a version of the square dance.   Perhaps at the "Kiss of peace"


My reaction is that any math teacher who so clearly shows such insight into what math has done for the human race, and is so passionate about teaching it, is probably also an excellent mathematics teacher.
I have sent his article to my children for them to use with their children, and I hope that their children do the same!


I don't think anybody should be fired or given an HR warning for reasonably expressing an opinion, even at work.

Except if you take it to an inflammatory level and don't stop. Disrespecting the flag and national anthem is as deliberately, in your face  inflammatory to half the country as wearing a confederate flag t-shirt to work is to the other half.

But Trump is right about the boycott. Vote with your $$ if you don' like it. Take a knee with your $$. Watch how brave the NFL is when their revenue is cut.

On college campuses, the NFL, Google, government jobs, etc. you can broadcast to your heart's content about the liberal laundry list issues.

But if you're a conservative and try to just as openly express yourself you will get the PC gestapo's S-storm.


I think those kids should be more concerned about how the adults around them there in that community and that school may be defaming, traumatizing, and/or brainwashing them with one-hundred year-old hatreds long past their expiration date. You're preparing them for a world that hasn't existed in at least half a century, thank God. It's not coming back, we will not allow it, it is evil, there is nowhere for it to stand in a liberal democratic social plurality. Stop trying to summon demons back to walk and terrorize the meek world of good.


I have known people who were what I call late people. Some liked making a grand entrance. They were selfish and enjoyed being noticed. For them, it would be unthinkable to not get an earlier start. Many were poor planners. Some did not care if they were late. They saw no problem with it. All were helped when my friends and I would just leave without them. Knowing we were no longer going to tolerate their lateness helped them to start earlier.


Alternate headline;

1.7 Trillion $ lost by folks who did not sell them2- 3 months ago.


Hidden stapler maybe.


I'll let you have the UN membership paperwork.

But Israel will continue to ignore any toothless UN resolution it finds against its national interests.

Pieces of paper do nothing. Naked military force does.  Israel is perfectly willing to use it.


And last year it was 6.7 billion....so what is your point?

Yes. This is a necessary step but it will only work if we have a stick to go along with the carrot: a jail to house the criminal portion of the homeless population.


I was simply pointing out that there are passages in the Bible, regularly used by Christian fundamentalists to discriminate against homosexuality. And that it's myopic to single out Muslims for this. I'm not defending Islam's fundamentalist attacks on homosexuality.

And Doc, isn't it a bit disingenuous to list Chechnya without also pointing out Russia's ongoing attacks on homosexuals. It's a good Orthodox Christian Country after all.

Including references to Islamic State atrocities is a bit desperate don't you think? They've pretty much cornered the market on extremist thinking of all kinds and as extremists, they are hardly an example of the average or moderate Muslim.


Yes, I believe you are correct. It would be entirely too cynical.


One of millennial kids, who is in university and whose political leanings are more sjw than not, voted Liberal and not only regrets it, but feels conned.  "He turned out just like Harper but with better genetics".

Guess that is one less youth vote for Trudeau next time around.


I wish that CAHOOTS was available 24 hours a day, especially for a city the size of Eugene. But the Eugene Police really also need to have access to their own 24-hour on-call mental health crisis counselor who can provide assistance in these matters. And the Eugene Police also obviously need better training in situational de-escalation. Based on the description given in the above report, I also wonder why an EMT wasn't dispatched to the scene? And why the police didn't ask or find out whether the teen, who was experiencing a psychotic episode, was taking any prescription medication and have the EMTs provide appropriate medical assistance if necessary then transport him and his mother to have him evaluated by a psychiatrist? None of these police officers acted appropriately. They clearly misread and did not understand the situation, in my opinion. The performance of all the officers at the scene should be reported as "unsatisfactory".


And yet you are free to comment, in public, in any forum, with any opinion you have derived, with no requirement for validation, and with no concern of retribution or censorship or physical or financial harm regardless of the facts, precisely because of the vets you accuse of basking in this "phony" idolatry.

I am glad you are taking full advantage of your freedom, as you should. Many don't.

From all of us phonies, your welcome.


Maybe on the 446th time, fact-free moron Trump sheep like you will read it.

Apparantly I have voted positively for too many posts. Sorry folks the vote Nazis require me to vote unfavorably. This censorship blows.


Yes. Why? Because some people need to be told the truth that they don't want to hear, as opposed to allowing dysfunction to continue (your scenario may vary).


The bigger danger is over zealous police officers who don't know when they're off duty. Phone it in like a civilian, because if you're not on the clock that's what you are.

And you have no clue what my handle means but I see you're quick to go in the dirt....typical.


Gerald Butts is the Edgar Bergen to Trudeaus Charlie McCarthy.  Now he's trying to deflect attention onto the old, outdated Conservative party.  When there is no way to credibly defend the actions of your government, blame your predecessor.  Butts employs the same tactics federally as he did provincially.  The Ontario Liberals still blame the Harris conservatives for all manner of poor performance and incompetence on their part.  It's surprising to me that people still buy into it!


The expense is what I object to. For heaven's sake, voters balk at MP's fundraising and office expenses. A good portion of the Canadian public is aghast at the cost of military procurement. Maybe, just maybe, it would be a heck of a lot cheaper to simply make the effort to resolve our difficulties peacefully with our neighbours the Russians and our trading partners the Chinese. I, and many others, have expressed suspicion that the F-35 is less than suitable for defense but is excellent for offense.


If you were born in Portland, would that not make you a second generation Sri Lankan?  Just a thought...


Hm. What if they were born here, Einstein?

This is just so strange. I'm an Old Stocker and had NO idea we Canadian women had to follow a dress code.


It's funny how these global warming activists have no problem with American coal being sent to China via Roberts Bank, just south of Vancouver.


Don't want to burst the author's bubble or intrude into the comfortable, rarefied air of the New York Times, but the Clintonian New Democrats *are* America's center-right party, which partly explains why the Republicans have become America's ultra-right party.  What America needs now is a center-left political party of counter balance the Neocon Rockefeller Democrats.


How would anyone (except the ticket handlers) know who's flying on a paid ticket or on a pass?

The impending doom of Hurricane Irma (not the last catastrophic hurricane of the 2017 season I fear) is sobering Trump up.

Cannot lead in the face of abject misery caused by weather, through bombast and jerkishness.

The bombast and jerkishness was totally backfiring on him anyway.

Moderating himself makes eminent sense politically.  He becomes a more effective President, and history treats him kinder.

The problem is that he's still a Narcissist.  So, whatever progress he makes as a leader by this current move, which will increase and last for the short-term foreseeable future, is always at risk of just imploding.

America's big mistake, and specifically the mistake of liberals/progressives/Democrats, would be to get too far into bed with Trump.  He's a pretty ill individual.   His decisions are governed by that illness.

He still needs to be removed by Congress, even if he starts acting moderate.  The focus has to be on the danger of him having the nuclear football.


This seems to have been an attack on Republican congressmen, rather than an assassination attempt on any particular individual. If the shooter didn't know what team was practicing, he wouldn't know who was actually on the field at the time.

Given Sanders' comment about the shooter having been a volunteer, one could assume that Democratic congressmen would not have been fired upon, but that remains uncertain.

I'm glad there were no fatalities other than the shooter, but I wonder if this is not the start of a decidedly more disturbing and dangerous phase in the polarization and increasing hostility between US ideological and partisan camps.


Clinton is NOT promoting abortion.  Stop spreading lies. She favors keeping the law as it is so that women can decide themselves what to do with their own bodies. If you can't see the difference you are part of the problem.


i like that hornet's nest analogy. However, I could never wrap my head around women's ordination. There are many liberal things I support in the church but that isn't one. I'm afraid I agree with Francis on that one.


"Yet the article is rife with obviously reckless and unproven allegations, and fundamentally shaped by shoddy, slothful journalistic tactics. It was not surprising to learn that, as BuzzFeed’s Sheera Frenkel noted, “a lot of reporters passed on this story.” Its huge flaws are self-evident. But the Post gleefully ran with it and then promoted it aggressively, led by its Executive Editor Marty Baron:"

This is a very overt and obvious example of mainstream media publications uncritically publishing what essentially amounts to fake news, which is then picked up and repeated by "journalists" from other mainstream publications, thus entering the "news cycle."  Once this "news" enters the cycle, by your logic, it becomes more accurate because "credible" publications have published it.

It's only when real journalists such as Greenwald look at the "evidence" itself that we discover the truth.  Your version of "truth" simply means a real journalists hasn't exposed it yet.


The truth is already known. The RCMP presented it in 2014. Former PM Harper was vilified during the 2015 election for stating correctly that the problem is primarily a law enforcement one and not societal. I suspect the MMIW inquiry is falling apart (and it is on it's last legs with two years to go until the next election) because those involved have realized that by continuing they will simply arrive at the same conclusion. Why be part of something that costs up to $50 million that simply repeats what the RCMP found in 2014?


You have obviously never owned a cat.


And the facts he apparently twice warranted FBI curiosity yet continued to be a "law-abiding" security officer with access to everything a citizen has speaks to how easy a psyco can pull off such a crime-if we continue to defer to PC rather than common sense.   Has everyone forget San Bernadino and how the people that could and should have spoke up said nothing?


If you or anyone else has some theories on why the left supports islam so unquestioningly, I would be interested to know.


I agree with both of you.  I think I should be able to walk down the street wearing a "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" t-shirt, and it should be protected free speech.  On the other hand, if anybody told me I was going to be assassinated, I would take that as a threat.


In my opinion, 47% survival rate is not futile, and with a few minutes warning to avoid burns, flying glass, and building collapses, that could be increased.  Humans are not supposed to give up.  We are supposed to adapt.  The people who call survival preps "futile" are giving up.


The last time I looked, Germany was in bed with a common currency with some fiscally plagued partners. Could it be that the dead weight is really the root of the problem?

The article takes on an entirely different tone if you extract several key sentences:
1) "The people who described the contacts to Reuters said they had seen no evidence of wrongdoing or collusion between the campaign and Russia in the communications reviewed so far."
2)"In the conversations during the campaign, Russian officials emphasized a pragmatic, business-style approach and stressed to Trump associates that they could make deals by focusing on common economic and other interests and leaving contentious issues aside, the sources said."
3) "Veterans of previous election campaigns said some contact with foreign officials during a campaign was not unusual, but the number of interactions between Trump aides and Russian officials and others with links to Putin was exceptional."


Do this with stipulations!   Clean criminal records for the entire family which includes their juvenile children and mandatory drug testing to qualify for any subsidy.  This should be for everyone receiving any subsidy assistance which includes welfare.  One failed drug test, and you lose all your help from the State!  Commit a crime and you lose any help from the state!  Allow your children to run wild and do whatever they please, and lose any help from the state. In other words, any help from the state is a privilege!  Mess up and you are on your own!!!  And before anyone misinterprets my post, I mean this for everyone and not just the Micronesians.


LOL.

We (The United States) killed between 4 and 6 million people in SE Asia - most were civilians. We did this, in large, measure because the U.S.  thought there were oil deposits there (troops were told something about commies).  The group that showed the greatest disrespect towards veterans returning from Vietnam, BTW, was not on "the left" (many on "the left" were vets) but it was the folks running the VFW.  And have you forgotten about the Vietnam Veterans Against the War?  Those guys marched on the Republican Convention in Miami and, I think, are the folks that are really responsible for ending the war because they scared the heck out of the government. Quit trying to make up history and lying about what really happened Flyguy, if you're offended by the truth, you would do yourself well to read some history books.


Well, he is beholden, but maybe shouldn't make it so obvious.


According to the American Heart Association "The number of people diagnosed with heart failure is expected to increase from about 5.7 million today to nearly 8 million by 2030, according to the American Heart Association."

In the case of heart disease statistics that result in mortality a sober look at the projected INCREASE in the number of people diagnosed with heart failure over the next 14 years is much more relevant to today's health concerns than statistics based on heart disease over the past 40 years. These findings effect those of us living today mores than statistics over the past few decades.

to get back to the original topic,  a healthy, nutritional diet consisting of natural, organically grown real food is one of the most important ways to a healthy happy population. Certainly you cannot argue that a healthy, nutritious, natural, organic diet is a MUCH better life choice than a diet made up of chemically-laced, GMO-tainted, processed non-foods and fast foods. or can you?

Oh for gawd's sake, people! Cassie and Jeff are pioneers in an industry that provides help for countless people - our families.  Instead of trying to tie their hands, we should be grateful that they're willing to take on the task of farming hope.

They are cultivating one of the most helpful plants of which we are aware today. Producing medicines, clothing, construction materials, and even biodegradable plastics; marijuana / hemp crops can provide family sustainable wages, funds for education, sustainable health practices, and so much more.

Rather than shun them, we should be finding out how we can help them help us.  So many misled people have bought into the propaganda around evil marijuana that they can't see why and how they've been misled. People find easier to spout rhetoric rather than educate themselves.  Start your research with Jack Herer's book The Emperor Wears No Clothes and go from there: from marine to advocate for a reason.


Over 2 million tourists per year, who spend an average of $950 each in state. That's just for starters. And those military folks? Sure see a lot of them shopping and spending at businesses all over town, off the base. I'd venture to say most their spending is done off base.


So, here is why you object to the idea of ALL lives matter, because all lives do not matter to you.  This is typical of liberals.


bobbob,

Having once been a Federal Firearms Licensee, I do have a working knowledge of what the ATF is and what it does.  I also happen to know that despite they themselves continuing to use the abbreviation ATF, the full name of the agency is now the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Looking at my earlier comment carefully, you'll note that I left open the question of whether the ATF is summoned if there are multiple deaths from a single fire.  I hate to again burst localguy's bubble, but I know for a fact that a single death, even one where the cause of the fire could not be determined, is not sufficient to have the ATF enter and supplement an investigation.

Maybe one day the amount of screen time for young developing minds will be looked on like smoking in a car with kids. I have 4 teenagers and see the effects of screen, cell phone and social media and in my opinion, there's more bad than good.


Ms Tesa Ann, so how do you feel about the rash of attacks across the country on Muslim people, gay people, non-white people, female people -- by people who are using Trump's "victory" as an excuse to bring their hate out into the open? I am assuming, of course, that you haven't cloistered yourself and are aware (by accessing non-right wing media) that this is taking place. Do you think that Trump supporters like you are okay with painting swastikas on cars and churches, chanting "build the wall" in a mixed-race middle school cafeteria, yelling at women "we own your pussy now", ripping the hijab off of Muslim womens' heads, screaming at Hispanic people to "get back to your own country" is okay? This is what you have unleashed. Deal with it, honey.


The only really fair measure is per capita GHG emissions. In Alberta and SK, those stand at around 67 tonnes per person. In Ontario, around 14 tonnes, and in China around  7. (The US average is 19.9 tonnes per capita, a bit less than the Canadian average of 20.94.)  So, yes, if Canada is to have a credible voice in advocating for global reductions, it needs to do its fair share. (Even with our small population, we are in the list of the ten largest overall emitters.) That being said, a carbon tax might be a fairer and more transparent way of achieving cuts than a cap and trade system, particularly if the cost of carbon rises sufficiently to create a strong incentive to reduce emissions.


Respectfully BORME73, I understand Mr. Tillman may have felt that Iraq was an illegal war, many including myself have problems with the Iraqi War; but where might I ask did you find that Mr. Tillman supported protesting during the flag and national anthem? The assertion "...he'd likely side with the kneelers..." is way too big a leap to assert in my opinion. I find nothing that would indicate he would support such, especially noting his love of country. Might you point out anything to support that assumption?

Secondly, Mr. Obama refused to wear the American Flag on his lapel for other reasons, none being because of where it was made. He flip-flopped on that reasoning and later donned the flag, as well as disassociating himself from his pastor, but only once public opinion was found to oppose him. He flip-flopped on a lot issues to get elected. He made many great sound bites, but his words were mere posturing and lacked merit, he was a very weak president on the world stage!


"It doesn't matter who casts the votes. It matters who counts the votes." - Stalin


He's right about what? He offered nothing at all. So he's right about noting? Since he offered nothing, it is irrelevant. The request was for evidence of Radir's claim that Comey violated some non-existent magical employment agreement. He of course did no such thing. What he did was perfectly fine and is for the betterment of the nation.


Past time to take down and destroy that racist statue of a white woman in New York harbor......guaranteed there are at least dozens of people offended by that symbol of hatred too!


RTH is totally right. You and so many people in the aina just cant see it as we are swamped with the same style of thinking, being from a liberal state with a liberal media lambasts the POTUS on a daily basis. This is evidenced by the Russian probe.
We need to be a bit more aware of what goes on in the media nowadays.
We cannot be misled by the constant harassment of the media.
Yes, Donald at times can be very childish and would recommend he stay off the tweet, but, that is what has happened to our society. Too many complainers and too many people get offended by the smallest of misspoken words or interpreted incorrectly.


Nice push back by the Leafs.
Nice to see Leivo get rewarded for his patience, I always liked this kid and it wasnt that long ago he was top 5 of Leafs prospects - speaks to how far the Leafs have come since Shanny's arrived.

Of course he wont, because his lawyers know he will commit perjury.  Once his lawyers explain this to him in infantile terms he will find an excuse not to.  Just like he said he would release his taxes.


Alaska's costs are still higher than the other rural states.  Congress needs to prohibit the doctors from price-gouging.  http://dhss.alaska.gov/ahcc/Documents/drivers_healthcare_costs.pdf


Now that make more sense!! But this event is nothing but window dressing. Nothing but words, no action since what the Mayor and the APD must do is to find new ways to allocate the available resources of APD since its pretty clear that the current system is NOT working.


Jung called it the will to power, not a simp like the one in there now!  Jung talked of the ancient power archetype.  That is Trump! A winner, not a chump!  Americans of all types and colors want a Winner!


That's fine. I'll take that over a vagina-grabbing, serial bankrupting, lazy, entitled morally vile lout who will sell whatever integrity this country has left to his Russian oligarch business pals. Not saying I like Clinton - I don't - but at least she can name the three branches of government if you asked her. Trump probably couldn't locate Spain on a world map, he's so stupid.


How long are you going to keep deflecting to the last guy?

After all, its' 2017.

In my experience blaming the last guy, is viable for about 72 hours... a week later, and no one can remember if the last guy was tall, short, fat, skinny, bald or not..

YOU are in the chair now (remember, you applied for, and got the job), so what are YOU doing?


He probably can't stop, since most likely, HE's the guy who did it. https://www.facebook.com/Joelmama

It was Harry Reid who set the precedent. Dems have nobody to blame but themselves. Of course the media conveniently forgets to mention this fact. Dems were warned at the time that it would come back to " bite them", and it did.


He walked.


Note that Morneau is not going after the estate trust funds, the stock options, or the passive money that corporations hold.  That would be hurting the truly wealthy individuals like him and Trudeau.
Instead they go after middle class business people that truly support our economy, not like the politicians who just take and manipulate.


and iraq has wmds...this is just another liberal circle jerk.


I have never met a Retired Teacher,Hydro Worker,or any worker in the Public Sector that are unhappy with their Pensions and the Benefits,and you can add Auto Workers to the list.
When will the ridiculous Pensions and Entitlements of Politicians be reigned in??
Wynne will get a six figure pension in spite of the mess that She will leave.


Nice seeing about $90K going to Trump's company for the month related to their "legal expertise".


We'd miss you and the rest of the right-wingers, Lamont. Be careful what you wish for.


When the priest faces the people instead of leading them in prayer, facing same direction as them, there tends to be focus onto the priest as performer. There is a temptation to make the sanctuary a stage.

OrsonW

Your post is misleading.

Mexico's total number of murders may be the second highest in the world, but expressed as the standard 'per 100,000' it is far from second.  Yes, the Reuters report said population numbers for countries 'in armed conflict lack reliable population data', but Mexico's 'drug war' is not like Syria's conflict.  Population data for Mexico will be reliable.

Mexico's 'intentional homicide' rate is 15.7 per 100,000.  In comparison here are some other numbers;

Belize 34.4
US Virgin Islands 52.6
Puerto Rico 18.5
Saint Kitts and Nevis 33.6
Saint Lucia 21.6
Jamaica 36.1
Bahamas 29.8

and one of my favorite places

Cuba 4.2

I was in Mexico just before Christmas and never once felt in danger.  When traveling anywhere common sense has to prevail.  Yes, Mexico has a drug 'war' going on, but this is occurring only in certain areas of the country. These areas are well known, avoid them.


The scariest thing about Trump making military decisions is this: Trump is like a scared, emotionally needy little boy. As we have all observed, he whines and obsesses over every criticism and strikes back with his foolish tweets and childish insults. This "boy-man" is always making decisions from a place of fear and insecurity. Life and death decisions should never be made by someone who is more worried about his macho reputation than human lives. America has elected a childish, ignorant, overindulged twit to make life and death decisions! Trump is hardly better than that murderous little dictator from North Korea! Is America now just as much a danger to life on this planet as North Korea? YES!


I wish Trudeau would tackle the real problems of this country (government budget deficits) and I wish the Globe would feature more articles on government spending; ask some tough questions and remind the government that ordinary working Canadians exist and we as tax payers have limits and we need attention occasionally.

I support charities, I try to correct injustice if it's within my ability to do so. But every day I get up and face the real world of earning sufficient income to care for my family.

Trudeau speaks as if he is the head of state of a rich nation, with unlimited resources, intent on correcting every injustice in Canada and stepping in when the US falters in its social duties.

He may or may not be popular and I won't join in that argument. He's been elected and now he has a responsibility to all Canadians and that includes the working poor and the struggling middle class.

Every time he makes another speech I feel the government's hand reaching in my wallet.


I'm sure it has nothing to do with all the fault lines in Oklahoma, http://yournewswire.com/300-million-year-old-fault-lines-across-oklahoma-are-being-reawakened/
If your not aware of history, in the neighboring state, in the early 1800's an earthquake 8.0 occurred at the Madrid fault line. If anyone has ever driven thru Oklahoma, I'm sure they noticed the R-buckles, a major previously dormant fault line, that has delivered large earthquakes millions of millions of years ago. Course I'm sure none of this has anything to do with any of that, and has everything to do with that evil oil and gas!


If you aren't talking about the massive influx of foreign money then you aren't addressing the problem. $1B/mo last year according to stories in the Globe.


In the end, the political party in power calls the shot in terms of budget. And, the Canadian taxpayers foot the bill for all of this. Time to create high-value added Canadian jobs and increase our sovereign defense capabilities.


Up here in Bailey we call it the RV and Boat Parade. We usually stay home for the weekend and make sure we're stocked up and don't have to go to the store or anything.


Small correction, Ivo: the LD50 of vinegar is actually about 33g/kg of body weight. It is acetic acid, usually about 10% of vinegar, that has an LD50 of 3.3g/kg of body weight. Does this count as a distorted scientific fact in your article :) ? Otherwise, very illuminating.


All these are the fault of "Religion" ? Using this type of logic we should indeed outlaw guns then, right ? And evil men start unjust wars because they are evil, not because they are religious.


Peter:  I present "if no had guns, we'd all be far safer"....as one extreme of the discussion re: gun control.  The inverse would be "if we all carried guns, we'd all be safer."  There are folks who believe one or the other of those extreme positions.  I'm not sure that "no guns" wouold necessarily lead to anarchy transitioning to rule by physical strength.  All of history has seen the advance of weapons in the quest for dominance by force.  I would suggest the ongoing development of firearmsk and advanc ed weapons has been a integral part of that quest.  There exist communities with virtually no firearms and they do not, ipso facto, disintegrate into chaos.  Gary Crum


I'm curious to know what Don Young's reaction is.


This type of support used to be called 'family'.
A concept long since dead in many of our western so called 'civilisations'!


First of all, they didn’t just “appear.”  They were found by three reporters.  They don’t know each other and they’re not working for Moore’s opponent.  And if Alabama voters put that child molester into the Senate, then you will destroy the GOP.  Your delusions and bigotry will have made it the party of haters, predators, traitors and morons.


I can't wait to try it! It looks so beautiful and I love red bull.


None of our political parties has the intestinal fortitude to enforce this sad draconian choice onto their citizens.


They are right about it going over budget - as these things always quote low, otherwise they wouldn't gain approval.  I wonder who is going to pay for the over-runs?


If you lock your doors and windows, this won't happen while your home!


I deleted my comment as I felt it was not valid .  mr. leslie...as this has played out...in comments of all places, I feel I "zero'ed" in on you unfairly.  if you are, or are not, the person I believed you to be - my apologies.  you, too , are an observer in this very tangled web of mess.  I hope zack makes contact with the RG and gets the actual story re-told.


47% of Americans believe the Bible is 100% accurate "in all it teaches"? What?


NYC's rent control does not apply to all units.  Not even close.

I find it hilarious that you would even consider NYC as an example of well governed real estate policy.  Do you know how much stuff costs there?


I love the show and all the people of McCarthy.
It is my favorite of all the 'Alaska' shows.
In my bucket list now is a piece of paper that says.......visit McCarthy, Alaska.
Meet Jeramy and his family. Hang out at Neil's bar and meet the rest of the town.


Really? Are the suspects not in custody? Have you seen any liberals state that they should be released?

Or do you co-sign the Como's xenophobic propaganda that the killers' Haitian heritage caused them to commit lethal child abuse?


This happened in the heart of liberal land.  Trump has little influence there.


I dread the idea of my kids (14 and 10) having access, legally, to pot. The THC in today's weed is sky-high (to pardon the pun). I'm afraid they'll have another peer-pressure to resist, and, when they are adults, losing their motivation to actually become something. I can envision 30 year old kids sitting in my basement, toking up, and watching Big Bang Theory reruns all day.


Sorry but I don't believe your anecdotal evidence either.
Facts please.
Of 30 years shopping at various retail stores I never had to return anything ever.
 I guess I'm a more sophisticated elitist shopper or what?


Strong has many definitions.  Try not to take things so literal.  Maybe I should've used "possessing skills and qualities that create a likelihood of success".  I really hope mine, as well as many others, ideas of what's to come are wrong.  I really do!  Our DOE already struggles with too much internal and external negativity.  Hopefully Kishimoto can overcome these obstacles and our school system can become trust-worthy and successful.


If these tax changes were actually about making the system fair then everything would be on the table.
From the capital gains made when selling your principal residence, to trust fund accounts to taxable deductions for charities, union dues, etc., to the tax free benefits of MP's, MPP's, and municipal councilors and mayors and everything else in between would all be looked at with an eye of how much does it cost and ultimately save the taxpayers.
Right now it is just piece meal changes that do appear to attack a select few without even any actual calculations of how much the gov't is set to gain from these changes.
All or nothing Trudeau or stop with the "its only fair" rhetoric.


Yawn.  This issue is all but irrelevant.  It does not impact his ability to do the job.  It was not against any  rules of Parliament or Ministerial obligations.  He went over the top with verbiage and promptly cleared the record.

If he was guilt if anything, it was jumping the gun on stories meant for his grandchildren.  So what?

You know the Reform Haters have nothing when this is the issue they target.  It has no political legs whatsoever.


Arch Coal, isn't that the company that scammed its employees and shareholders out of $3.7 billion?

You are correct in your hypocrisy assessment however we can only do that which we can afford to do. Fining you pays for the cost of your violation,fining a bum adds cost to our bills. It sucks!


Meeting scheduled for 0145 local time???


If trump says he is willing to testify under oath, it is clear that either there are no tapes, or that the tapes have been destroyed.


This is great news. Hillary Clinton would have been responsible for World War 3. Diplomacy works. The mainstream media is still trying to run with this narrative. It doesn't work. Wikileaks has exposed them.


I'm no theologian, but I am also perplexed. And reminded of that earlier epoch, where it was understood that sperm contained homunculi, those little bitty people. As you probably know, it was supposed that on the occasion of resurrection, all the homunculi would rise from wherever they had been deposited over the ages, to converge with the rest of us around God's throne.  It gives one pause...


Do you want to stimulate the economy by raising taxes?  You want to encourages businesses to invest in US by taxing them more? Same thinking is to reduce home prices in Hawaii by adding fees and costs to developers and making sure there's no land to build on.  Brilliant!


By all means, go.


Both parties chose a lousy candidate. The Dimocrats chose the worst, so they have no one to blame but themselves.


tobacco?>>>>yes we did, see lib then our investments grew in value,! .


It has not been solved, but I believe it was a shooting.


some guy just gave one of the most hateful angry speeches I have listened to. He ended and they followed up with Can't Get Enough of Your Love. Classic  Funny every time they panned to the audience people were leaving.


Not like Obama with  Reggie Love?


Wow - so far every comment on this story is incredibly self-righteous and self-serving.  People prioritize things in their lives, might not be your priority, but certainly doesn't make them wrong, or worthy of being called sheep.

A lot of needless and petty bullying/cruelty here.


Are Jewish kids learning to play the violin  or going to an art museum signs of radicalization? That pretty much is as bad as it gets for them.


Both rich and poor should have access to more birth control.  It is not good for any woman to be seen as breeding stock and forced to squeeze out babies because Jesus said so.


You obviously missed the point.

Shouldn't the park be open, now that there are cameras ?


This is not quite as inane as "math serves the family", but close.


Part 1
So assembly-line thinking by all, and observance of Christianity/Catholicism only one way IS how God wants us to operate?  NO, NOT EVER!  The issues that shocked Luther were major scandals in the Church.  It began when indulgences were SOLD to the people of Germany.  This was because Pope Leo X [a Medici] didn't have enough money to build the current St. Peter's Basilica.  Leo didn't know how to handle money.  BUT he was clever enough to look up somebody else who couldn't handle money either.  He looked at wealthy Germany and found Archbishop Albert of Brandenburg [who was also a poor steward of money].  Albert was in arrears on his financial obligations to Rome.
Leo proposed a deal.  He authorized a campaign in Albert's diocese to grant plenary indulgences.  For purchasing indulgences, Catholics would be promised in a papal document that all of their sins would be forgiven and all time in purgatory for those sins would be remitted.


While I completely agree with due process and the protections it affords citizens, here we have someone who has explained that they began planning the attack over a year ago (mens rea)  and has readily admitted to committing the attack and is in fact 'proud' of it(actus rea).  Can or will he be rehabilitated in prison?  Not likely...


Seems like another great Liberoil idea to allow something like this to take place :

Great hair too.


So much Republican policy is driven by the belief that the real problem is that the poor have it too easy.


They don't call them public "self"-servants for nothing.


Indeed the PC crowd is on the ropes, let's knock them out for good! Free Speech! Western Civilization!


Some stats about votes:

Ages 18-24:  Voted 44% in favour of LePen
Ages 65+  : Voted 80% in favour of Macron.

So LePen resonated more with the young people of France.
Macron won the senior vote (including his wife? hehe) overwhelmingly.

This will no doubt cause some of the left to become angry and stomp their feet.

If god exists, and he indeed admits that he brings disaster, that would certainly merit a rant. Why would a benevolent god do that? That makes him capricious and cruel, as I wrote. It underscores the perversity of thanking such a god for bringing an end to the disaster he brought in the first place.


But Mr. Lopez did take the time to quote the column.


Personally, I think the problem with this particular protest is exactly what you are saying.  That the reason they are protesting is completely lost in the rush to politicize it.  The right is screaming about disrespecting the flag, yet are the same group who defend the folks who want to fly the stars and bars, which is much more disrespectful to our nation and flag.  The left is screaming 1st Amendment.  Neither major political group is talking about why they are protesting.


The use of the land is at best temporary is it comes with no certain future use. And remember Lynn the homeless issue has been with us for sometime and the city simply isn't coming up with answers beyond slight temporary appeasement. Long term solutions are the only real fix.


Dr. D, the writer is referencing a well covered story from a couple weeks back. Use Google, as you suggest in another comment, if you don't recall it.
Here's a NY Times article about it: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/21/us/alt-right-salutes-donald-trump.html?_r=0
Here's another relates story from PBS: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/white-nationalist-leader-wants-go-mainstream-racist-movement/
Not to dismiss the radical examples you cite in another post (as those are very troublesome, indeed), one would be incorrect to dismiss what is happening in the U.S. now and how it may bleed over into Canada.
The people referenced are much close to the ears of those in power than the Islamists from your examples. And that's the scarier point, for me.

Thanks for being a Berner! That was brave, and courageous, and probably cost you a chunk of change! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! Many people may not understand why Bernie made such a passionate following, in such a short amount of time. Why he got nearly 50% of the Democratic vote. (The votes that actually got counted, that is.) A lot of people don't care much about ethics and even preserving our democracy, but that's okay. Bernie's policies woke everyone up, and made the majority of Americans feel
seen and heard. The issues that are of critical importance, were defined. You played an important part. You even tried to tell the DNC and Hillary to get on the level! To stop being crooked, and insincere. Otherwise, with all that cheerleading at the DNC, she never would have known that she didn't get away with it. (Maybe she will work harder to be more real, honest, and work for the people instead of corporations only.)
Never stop telling your truth, please; keep standing for what's right!


I have physical evidence of the long-term ill-effects of fluoridation.  I'd like to speak at the next designated council meeting.  I religiously took fluoride pills when I was a child, used fluoride products and had bi-annual fluoride polishing.  I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism with a large goiter when I was 13 years old. 1/2 my thyroid was removed.  At 27 years old I was diagnosed with policystic ovarian syndrome.  At 34 years old I was diagnosed with ER and PR + infiltrative Ductal carcinoma (hormone driven breast cancer).  The facts have been around for centuries that fluoride disrupts endocrine system function.  My surgeon (when I was 13 years old) said he had 7 other patients with the exact same disease from the same area in the state.  AND I have 1-3 surfaces filled in 16 of my teeth from tooth decay.  WHAT is the benefit of fluoride again?


Kizla makes associations with no correlation.  Manning took a pay cut because his skills were declining and he wanted to go out with a Super Bowl win.  Phillips went out because of contract terms - better deal with the Rams.  Siemian got hurt because he got no protection (though injuries can happen to even the best protected quarterback but last year the entire backfield got hurt) and Lynch is chasing squirrels and needs to get his head out of the clouds when it may be he needs more time or is just not up to being a NFL quarterback.  Siemians stats are good for a first year quarterback - better than Mannings in his first year.  It may be Lynch takes over but it won't be because Elway or Joseph are listening to Kizla.  I suspect if Siemian remains healthy he will be surprising.  He doesn't seem to get rattled by anything and he is smart - smarter than most of the quarterbacks in the league.  Fortunately for Bronco fans, Elway and Joseph know more football than either Kizla or I do.


"While Oregon’s Legislature has approved studies and dealt with components of the problem, legislation addressing all sectors of the economy responsible for climate pollution has failed."

Add to the legislative studies a few more hearings, committee discussions, and assorted posturings by "green" legislators.

But rest assured big emitters! In the end, our corporately captured legislators will protect your profits and emissions. The Clean Energy and Jobs Bill will be trumped by more empty promises for voluntary pollution reduction.

If you're seriously suggesting that Trump's and Obama's egos are even remotely similar, then you'll already be used to poorly concealed laughter.


If Mr. Trump can run his campaign and  govern on Twitter, it should be prudent to vent ones complaints on social media. And a real preposterous thing is the cost of that investigation, I believe a forensic audit is required of that self regulating body.


"When you find a news source that you trust, please let me know"  I think you have an error built into your query.

A single source or fountain of knowledge, particularly in a world as inter-connected and complex as we live in  today is impossible.  The same is true of a single political party being an exclusive source of one's information.

I research across multiple sources of information not just to embarrass 'True Believers" who think they have the God-given answers from Olympus to all questions about everything and post them on this site (although it is entertaining) but to compare different perspectives on different subjects to attempt a synthesis of what most accurately reflects reality.

Please note, I absolutely, positively Did Not Say "Truth", but rather perceived reality.

I can't think of any other solution and believe that the multiplicity of viewpoints, from the clearly insane to the other end of the spectrum may assist in my attempt to define reality.


Gun shops and pawn shops should be required by ATF to put their handguns in a safe immediately sfter close of business each night and long guns should be both cabled and chained .


I'd be proud to find myself on Russia's blacklist of Canadians banned from going there. For our trip this past summer to Poland, the Baltic countries, and Finland, we happily chose not to apply for a Russian visa for the optional extension to  St. Petersberg and Moscow, so our trip ended in Helsinki. No Canadian should want to visit Russia now.


Yes, you've repeated this statement ad nauseum on this thread already. Do you have anything intelligent or constructive to contribute?


Masked anarchists smashing window is exactly the same scale as Mr Bissonnette shotting 6 people for being Muslim... right?
A hand full of people smashing windows are not the alt- left (whatever that means) anymore then all alt righters and Trump supporters are Bissonettes (correct me if I'm wrong). It muddies the discussion and leads to nowhere.


I thought the choir was singing to endorse democracy.


An afternoon traffic clog on Beltline means it's another day that ends in "y" and local reporters don't monitor Douglas County Sheriff's Office scanner communications. Also, K-Mart . . . oops, KMTR . . . is closer with easier access. Any intrepid TV types on the scene, Citizen Murrow?


El Presidente Dorito Tump has seen the light.....


"For the sake of the public being policed, and for the sake of good officers who shouldn’t be tarnished by bad apples, 2017 must be the year legislators close the deal."

Legisators are elected with union support.  Hawaii is a highly unionized state.  We have who we have in the legislature because of union endorsements.  Unfortunately, people wake up when they know someone or have personal experience with police misconduct. At the very least Hawaii needs professional standards and licensure.  Yes...it will cost $, but better to spend on prevention and safety than on the cost of settlements.


According to the article:  200 fish at 5 to 8 lbs per fish = about 1,300 pounds of salmon.  Math.  Why is it so hard?


Seems incredibly simple to me. Integrate this project INTO the Old/New COURTHOUSE/County Building & Lane County Farmers Market Corporation/City Hall. Really ashame they have to get a tax-payer bond vote approval. In the meantime, set up the homeless camp now on the perfectly ready old City Hall site. JON can keep an eye on them from his $0.00 "Skinner deed violated" City Hall "leased offices" at Lane County. Is that efficient or what?


Just who is inexperienced here?

All Macron has done is graduate from l'ENA, make partner at Rothschild bank, serve as minister of the economy in the government of Hollande and create his own political party.That, mon ami, is it.

Truly a pathetic c.v. and no experience at all as a drama teacher or a bouncer! Let's hope that our PM can find some time to impart some of his infinite wisdom to Macron.


Difinitely the most appropriate bird to be our national symbol.


North Korea is in no way a threat to the US they are merely a pimple on the ass of humanity! In saying this they need to be dealt with once and for all and hopefully China will do what is necessary to solve this problem. It has gone on for too many years and cost too  many American lives!


so sessions is smart and harris is not ? got it.


Most Christian denominations do not practice open communion, which is irrelevant to a Catholic discussion in any case.

In the late 20th century some, but not all, Christian denominations began to follow the lead of the Episcopal Church and the ELCA in giving open communion, in some cases even to pets!

Of course, this does not detract from the apostolic practice of excommunication, or the scriptural reference provided.

If you were able to provide an occasional cite to something authoritative that “this and other posts which you make here are unreliable as Catholic teaching”, that might go some distance towards dispelling the impression left that one would be as well off seeking religious advice from a Ouija board as from you, particularly when time after time your challenges are met with cold hard citations from authoritative sources and refuted, as in this case.

But you don’t, so the unreliability in matters Catholic appears to be yours alone.


Where do these reports come from? Not in the article. But I can see that Trudeau has class...

Isn't Ramadan like Advent for Christians? It's a symbol of Grace for Muslims. There are many LBGTQ Muslims in the world who cannot be at this major Pride event - even if they live in Toronto.

Trudeau is respecting those who cannot be there but would like to. His respect is a compliment to Muslims everywhere.

If he is being criticized for wearing them on his feet, then no disrespect is intended. He probably got these socks as a gift from a Muslim supporter who is LGBTQ and who knitted them herself.


Good post and I think you see Democrats in an idealistic light.  That not bad, I hope Democrats want to help the poor.

But I don't think conservatives want to make life worse for the poor.  What would be a positive slant to Republican ideology on helping the poor?


I think that is what he said. He is not excusing his choice. He is exprssing his regret for not doing something at the time.  That doesnt fix it, but the more people that accept and share his current view, then better i think.


That wouldn't have been Hillary. I don't think she has a conscience. Anything to become President. Denied!!


Let them go.
First of all, they are in the top 5% of wage-earners in Canada.
Secondly, there are plenty of young doctors waiting for secure and guaranteed  jobs in Canada.
I know of several doctors here in Quebec who max out their pay week in 2 days, then travel to Ontario and the USA for even more money. Let Ontario ( and Quebec) doctors do the same if they want the extra cash, or leave!
I also know dermatologists making thousand each and every day, and of a GP seeing 100 patients a day, and making a million plus a year.
If jot's money doctors want let them learn from those doctors making the big bucks!


Did you get this information from the oil companies? In most states, oil companies don't have to release any information on what chemicals are being used. They love that.


WHOA ho ho ho- i think she may take the cake for crazy. off the dang meds.  they are a blessing and a curse.  she was self aware enough to know she was not well - and the lack of seroquel maybe the motivating factor in her deciding to go back,   smash her new rig into and through the store. thank god nobody was hurt.  i hope she gets the help she needs and can live with her meds.


I wondered what all the helicopter noise was last night, I live near Pioneer Peak.  So glad this young adventurer is OK, it could have been way worse.  So awesome rescue was coordinated so fast, kudos to those folks for going out in the dark, that must have been tricky.  We had our first hard frost last night, she would have been very cold.  Thank goodness for good people and the haters need to think a nice thought just once.  This could have been your friend, daughter or mom.


Just another day in longtucky...😴


The real takeaway is the degree to which the Dems are out of touch, and badly corrupt.  These races should have never ever been this close.  If anyone other than Trump (and maybe Carson) ran Clinton would have lost.  Her re-election prospects don't look too good.  And Caldwell is an incumbent with all the benefits of it, and has the whole party machinery behind him, and this election is close.  That speaks volumes.


Not so G.S
Energy East would replace $10 BILLION of oil imports into Eastern Canada.
It would also export $10 BILLION of oil through St John NB.
The net improvement in Canada's trade balance is thus $20 BILLION a year.


Just curious, did you read the book  1984?


Ever notice how MSW uses certain words only with conservatives, but never with liberal democrats.   Find the word "buddy" in MSW's articles about Hillary and co.


We'll never get anywhere if we continue to hammer each other.


If I were a (rational) unemployed Alberta oil worker, I would conclude that the fault lies with the oil downturn not with Rachel Notley.

As for Mr. Kenney threatening sanctions against BC, that would be a gross violation of provincial sovereignty.

Unlike the boorish Mr. Kenney, Rachel Notley is showing respect for that principle.


Ever heard of Scouts Canada?  My troop and I just spent a great week on a private lake with multiple activities for just over $200 each.  That includes the food.  The opportunity exists people just have to look for them.


They did have sees at one point and their years of priestly ministry shouldn't be so glibly dismissed.


The Conference of Western Attorneys General has grown from a small information group of officials from Western states into a big-budget group that sponsors flashy events at major resort destinations and pulls in millions of dollars in corporate sponsorships.

RC:  OK, how much are you willing to pay for public radio?  Seems to me that if most people valued public radio and television they would be willing to pay for it but that doesn't seem to be the case, does it?


icon66,
I'm in your camp on this issue. I don't look at a zygote, a blastocyst, or an embryo as the equivalent of a human being...at least not at the early stages. I think many people endow these potential humans with the human quality of fear of death from which they want to save the "baby". It's possibly an emotional response that doesn't consider the conditions into which the baby will be born.
I'd agree that a woman has the right to chose and a responsibility to chose wisely for her sake and for the sake of the potential human being she's carrying.
Just as an aside, I think abortion ought to be available up until the 57th trimester. If I've done the math correctly, that works out to approximately 18 years old. Maybe we'd have easier times as parents. (Of course, I'm not serious.)
Finally, to those who think an embryo is a human being, I've got a bag of acorns, er, I mean oak trees, I'd like to sell them for $250,000 for the lumber they will produce.


The only folks throwing tantrums are you left wing activists.   Grow up.


Lots of censorship on the Globe forums today.


Ah typical leftie, black or white and nutten in between. As I have said before, it's GOPumpcare.  They are all going to have to face the anger and consequences.


No telescope has ever harmed the water supply on Maunakea.


Seriously ? ..... "THIS "  is a real issue ? ..... it's a show, not a "reality" show, a show for "ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY " , a tv show that is at best 30-40% accurate, with pretend story lines, pretend car chases, pretend bullets, pretend injuries, pretend everything and this is an issue ?


This parroting of Trump's attempt to pass the buck is pathetic.  Reminds me of a high schooler trying to blame the test grader for his bad results.  "There's nothing wrong with what I wrote and signed.  If anything is wrong it is the courts that wrong."


Don't forget at the end of the game you need to say the final score and who won.


Yep..precisely.


No.


I do not agree with you.  The ruling gives scant justification for its issuance, certainly not the extended comments you recounted.  The media says what they want.  The only true document is the 7-page ruling.  That is the total and entire extent.  Anything else the media presents is their opinion but not fact.  I don't care how many media articles you cite, the judge's seven page ruling is the sum total that anyone has to go on.


Ever since 1987 when the FCC rolled back and eliminated the Fairness Doctrine, media outlets were no longer required to give fair time to both sides.  CNN can hire and fire who they choose. They can be as left voiced as the choose, just a Fox, Lindbergh and Hannity can be as right as they choose.


I'd love to express my opinion regarding the mental health of the man who stands before us as "president".  I cannot do so, however.  I have been repeatedly censored for using language that has been considered "below the civility threshold for publication".  However, Trump's hateful rhetoric is published verbatim on a daily basis regardless of either the topic or the tenor. This is unacceptable!  Do no Americans have control of their brains?


That would include the athlete who asked me for a pass on an assignment he never turned in, then.


Freedom of expression still applies.


They will search for the highest ranking white male who had anything to do with the building and stop there.


Correct, rural, there is no respect in my response to your post. You certainly didn't earn it, with a post as dumb as yours. Think about it.


Is Unalalaska near Unalaska?


It's a stretch to say part of the urban experience is having a 3 day concert drawing 40000 people a day into your neighborhood as something one should expect when living in the city. Love it when people from other cities are so willing to tell us how to live here in Denver. If they are going to have this concert neighbors should insist on it being alcohol and marijuana free. That alone will reduce drunken concert goers wondering through the neighborhood as well as fighting.


Between 2012 and 2014, Vnesheconombank was used as cover for Russian spy Evgeny Buryakov to gather intelligence and recruit New York City residents as sources for Moscow, according to the Department of Justice.
Buryakov was prosecuted by then-United States Attorney Preet Bharara, who was recently fired by the Trump Administration.

Betsy DeVos laid out the plan to privatize education and destroy public schools in her Monday speech.

If passed by Congress, the proposal could channel billions of public dollars to religious schools.


Leave the animals alone. Give them some sanctuary. We don't need Safari Club or any other killing organization to profit from the murder of animals. What does Ms. M have to say about this? I want to know. Is this a buy for her vote?


Yes, it is hilariously ironic you would immediately continue the same behavior that got you suspended in the first place.

Especially considering you just got done complaining about it.

You know what they say about people who continue to do the same thing expecting different results.


Seriously , I know the average IQ is that average. but do a poll and ask any voter did Russia tell you who to vote for , did Russia influence you, or did CNN and MSM.  And ask the same of voters who attended political rallies and meetings.

Come on do the poll.


The female diaconate cometh...


How about another sizeable donation to the Clinton Foundation?


The liberals did try, remember? Harris's lawyers drew up leases for the 407 and plants like Bruce that were filled with caveats making righting his wrongs.


Anyone well educated that has any intellectually honesty will not be voting for Hillary.  Given the choice between a businessman with a rodent on his head (the unqualified and racist tags are nothing more than regurgitated media lines) and a liar who can't be trusted, give me the business person.  Trust the polls, not just yet.

The white trash inbreed thing, wow.


Which is why I studied to become an 'ethical hacker' 18 months ago. Thanks to companies large and small either being too lazy or too naïve to properly secure their networks and systems I've found myself in the middle of a boon part-time career.

"Non kvetcharsi?" There's no "k" in the Italian alphabet....


According to today's NP the wall family have contributed $400K to the BC Liberals - just in 2016. They also have a list of contributions. There are multiple $100K+ donations in 2016 from realtors and developers.


Trudeau can't possible keep his promises, he simply lied to the electorate and reasonable people were not supposed to believe him.


Critics will always over analyze, even to death. It's what they do.

I enjoyed the half time show. I've never seen Lady Gaga live. Had the kids gather. They thought it fun too.

Because the majors had the cash reserves to "shotgun" the oil fields ... while the minors had to pick their shots ... and so far, the odds haven't favored the minors.


Ya know the Kelly/Helfrich playbook is living in the past. It's time to reformat the disk and let the new coaches develop and install their own playbook with the players they have now. Let's stop living in the past and start taking in the fresh perspectives that this great group of coaches have to offer our up-and-coming athletes. After all it is just a game and a means to offer young people a means to develop their own voice in their life. Opinions are just dust in the wind! So please, just let our current staff and players develop their own voice and enjoy the journey.


I definitely like Maxime Bernier's policies the best. They are everything that I had hoped Stephen Harper would accomplish, but unfortunately he didn't. Hopefully, Bernier will get a shot at it. I really don't think anyone else is up to it.


The media are being fair. Scheer has come out with no policies other than 'liberals bad, liberals very bad'.
He's a nonentity - don't expect him to make news anytime soon - his shadow cabinet has more public recognition than he does.


and having to present an id would have prevented this poll worker from voting for her sister in a coma in which way?


The first thing they need to do is decide which government agency should be responsible for monitoring climate change and get all the programs/people doing this throughout government under one organization.  That's the only way to identify/remove redundancy and make the most efficient use of resources.


This family has money story is on every news sight and first story . I bet if he would have been on sidewalk he would be safe n sound ! Yes tragic. But dumb aswell , let's report some real news like say Russia and u.n war


Articles such as this one remind us why it will require much more direct intervention to diminish the environmental footprint of private transport. SUVs are not cars, they are trucks and are really not needed for city driving. If our governments, federal and provincial, were really serious about meeting our targets as part of the agreements we have signed, very steep taxation should be put in place. I do not see a lot of articles about electric vehicles and hybrids in the G&M. Besides, SUV drivers progressively become more and more rude, which is something I see daily as a line up for the busiest bridge in Canada.
For information, I drive a Honda Accord Hybrid fully equipped and I get between 1100 and 1300 kms on a tank of gas.


Well we could start with Charles Edward Stuart and Robert the Bruce, the Duke of Argyll and various other predatory Scots.  Even the beloved Robert Burns who wrote two volumes of poetry; the respected one and the scurrilous one, which was suppressed through Victorian times until the 1960's.


This is probably a bad move. The Broncos should have signed Stevan Ridley who they just cut. He looked fast and effective in the pre-season. I was surprised they let him go.


Exactly what is "Islamophobia". Leave out the reference to a specific religious group and I suspect this would pass unanimously. The way it is currently written , imho,   shows  favouritism  to those whose religious belief is Islam and the removal of that term is anything but a "weakening and watering down" of the language. In fact  it makes it more inclusive and isn't that what Canada is all about - "inclusiveness" .


Eastman needs to apologize and shut up. It's one thing to be "unapologetically pro-life" and another to be unapologetically stupid.


SteveM I think you forgot a couple 00000000s.


There should be no "excuses" needed for receiving the (often very modest) retirement that was promised in the formal offer of employment. That employment was, for many professionals, accepted at a salary well below the average with the promise that benefits, including retirement payments, would at least in part offset that low salary which, compounded over the years, is a serious loss. No one said that the legislature and others would have their eyes on your retirement funds for the duration.

Yes PERS is expensive. Everyone's retirements are expensive, as you know if you have no inheritance and have had to try save for one.

If treating people fairly and legally and keeping contracts has become a "sob story," then we're in bad shape. If the small percentage of outliers becomes a ground for state confiscation of the retirements of ordinary old folks, then we've become something really awful.

What we need are solid retirement systems for everyone, protected by law and courts.


So you were quite fine with all taxpayers funding political parties, whether they wanted to or nor because the per vote subsidy came from taxpayers. Particularly vexing was the fact that almost all of the  Bloc's funding came from the taxpayer. Nice isn't it, you are in favour of paying a party who is in favour of breaking up Confederation with taxpayers dollars. The irony in all this is the fake name you have chosen to post under.


Hmm you think tho with what is at stake and this magnitude, it will play out w/o bias?  Look at how biased the Democrats are against Trump w/o evidence.  I think taking too big a chance


Again, what does God, through the Scriptures, say about our own natures?  Are they to be our authority?


Probably a lot fewer campus SJW's in Asia too.


I thought the Cold War ended in 1991.  Chill out old folks.

Also, if someone from New Jersey is going to be doing some cyber hacking, what is the first thing they do?  They chose an anonymous IP server to cover their tracks.  Where can you find these easily?  Russia.  So the guy from NJ hacks into a DNC computer via a Russian server ... and the technotards in the US blame Russia.  And the media goes into an ignorance-fueled frenzy.


Well why don't you hum a little and I'll let you know


Well, the agreement certainly takes any mystery out of the new government's first throne speech!


"NEVER vote NDP in this province, they will sink BC for sure."

I am not a natural supporter of the NDP, but if you're under the age of 40 the BC Liberals have already played a big role in sinking this province. This is true in particular via their myopic focus on real estate (follow the money!). This has made parts of this province wildly unaffordable and has led to the de-diversifying of the economy such that real estate/construction now comprises about 1/3 of GDP.

It is time for them to go.


Opioids have their place. To ban them entirely is every bit as foolish as overprescibing.


the "abuse or harassment" option should work


Absolutely the WORST answer on this.

Universities are supposed to get ppl to THINK. Be Critical (in the CORRECT sense, not in the common day sense) of what they see.
UNC and CU were actually converted to being conservative which is NOT correct.
What is needed is for the schools and colleges to WANT to hire ppl of differing thoughts as opposed to having everybody the same. This is most true with all of 'Liberal' Arts, Businesses, Political 'Science', etc since all of these deal more with opinion, and not as much with facts (yes, Political 'Science' is not a science and is pure BS ).

And yes, even the real Sciences have issues. Oddly, AGW which has the most arguments, has the least number of REAL SCIENTIST that argue against. IOW, the Climatologist as a group are more than 99% in agreement that this real. It is only outside of the field that we see fake issues brought up.


Perhaps because it is Pride Month? It is not Native American month or Black History month and regardless, sexual orientation or identity has nothing to do with ethnicity or race. Seattle was all decked out too - I suppose you aren't going to go there or tell people about it? Your intolerance is showing.


EN,  You just and others just keep reciting voter fraud is insignificant, therefore it a non-issue, go away, and allow it.  But why allow any voter fraud to occur when most of it can be easily and cheaply prevented by changing state DMV procedures and requirements?


It is the responsibility of the members to elect a speaker. And no, the Libs didn't default, as you put it, but they could have. I'm unaware of any "convention" that covers numbers needed for party status, but there certainly is one regarding how a speaker casts a tie-breaking ballot. And no, there won't be a tie regarding acceptance of the Throne Speech now. But there could have been had the premier been a bit more Machiavellian.


I am just sorry that so much space is spent on Trump, Hillary, when Dr. Jill Stein, Green Party, in pants or skirt, smiling or not is the far superior woman candidate for president.democracynow.org debate coverage.

A naively optimistic view in my opinion.The thinly veiled lie of RET and the extent to which it involves senior ANC  members and outsiders is a far bigger issue than one man's lone endeavours. This is a massive problem that threatens to destabilize the entire country. Perhaps the writer finds the situation stimulating but if he stepped out into the broader SA context he'd discover that the disenfranchised and poor majority have had enough and are anything but excited at SA's medium to long term prospects.


Hawaii's living treasure for sure!!!  Mahalo Dave for the awesome ride!!!


To me it seems simple.  The dog appeared to be loose and aggressive.  It was threatening to the new neighbor, and committed suicide by its actions.  The owner should apologize and make an end of it.


so....Trudeau gets off the hook after lying about the promised level of deficit spending because previous administrations were fiscally prudent...your logic is illogical....probably explains why this oaf got elected..his election pledges were just a load of bull poop.


The Executive Order issuing the temporary travel ban also provided the method to review the Visa Program. The District Court issued a legal order prohibiting implementation of the EO, including review of the Visa Program.

The Government asked the District Court to allow the Visa review while disallowing the travel ban.  The DIstrict Court turned down the request. According to the AP, "The Justice Department also argues the Hawaii ruling shouldn’t block Trump’s order that security officials review whether other countries are providing enough information to ensure would-be immigrants aren’t a security threat."

First they slip a whole new level on the building at the last minute
Just a few million more
Now these so self important council idiots want special office space along with just a few million more  and look behind a locked doors  even
Then they could all take naps in peace discuses their little secret plans and refine their grand monument to them selves
Tax payers should ask why Eugene needs a fancy 100 million dollar building with all the fancy trim add it up 285 million for a new county courthouse what was it 300 million for the federal courthouse 100 million for ltd's scam on west 11th. But those are paid by state and fed money
But think it through where does that money come from. It comes from your taxes if you need help figuring it out
600 million out of peoples pay check so a bunch of self important bureaucrats can impress other self important bureaucrats and win awards
It's a place to do a job not a resort
 open building with cubicles is all they need
Tax payer reward pot holes


Society would be improved if you worked enough to keep your infantile musings off line.


Blah blah taxes... blah blah taxes... blah blah more taxes.


Two days ago I was invited by the Tom Stillman, owner of the St. Louis Blues, to give some inspiration to his players.

What's to sabotage? The Liberals will sell out Canada again, just like they have for the last 150 years.


It's going to go through. Things move faster when they found out you couldn't campaign during session.


That's funny.  I'm pretty much a straight ticket Democratic voter yet started working when I was 14 over 25 years ago and have never taken from the cookie jar.  How do you explain that?  Maybe you're the one who's bought into the biased you've been feed all the years.


It is a bit late to change careers now just because the federal government decided to significantly change the rules. We will just have to see the provincial governments at the bargaining table. See what taxpayers think of that then. If compensation is not going to even come near what the US is offering, expect some doctors to leave. Replacing them will be harder too, since the US is gaining significant recruiting advantages with our tax changes stacking up against US tax policies.


It's not up to the opposition parties to investigate these events, they hold their own anyway.


The year 1938 called. It's wondering when you'll be home.


Who is being oppressed in Eugene, Oregon, in 2017?


The Secretary of State may take care of the oil companies but it looks like he is going to have to work on his stamina after leaving meetings in S. Korea early because of fatigue. Seems like I heard some orange hued cretin disparaging former Secretary of State Clintons "stamina" not too long ago. And didja see where the so called presidents ten trips to the golf courses in Florida in just his first eight weeks have already cost more than all eight years of the Obama vacations? Or that the lovely but obviously much worked on Mel staying in NYC costs more every six days than fully funding Meals on Wheels? Strange and sad new world we are living in now folks. Let's just hope we make it out of this mistake alive.
