Not the same kid at all.... Not his brother either. The Falaniko brothers who played football at Bartlett are great kids from a great family. Know your facts before you start putting peoples name in the mud. Ethan Falaniko is currently at Spring Practice with the University of South Dakota on a football scholarship. He is also an a devout member of his church and a member of the honor society at USD. Eti Falaniko Jr. (Who played football at Bartlett HS) is currently at Mayville State University also on a football scholarship, is a devout member of his church, and also made the deans list.

I have never been so proud to be a Canadian. Kudos to the Candian Goverment and especially Mrs Freeland for stepping up to the plate and saying ¨NO¨to despotism.

FT:  I'm not the one who made the draft dodging comment.  I'm just pointing out that the previous administration didn't do much about the problem and that trying to put it on the current administration is disingenuous.  You know like when you always used the blame Bush mantra.  Besides that what about what I said is not true?


War against terrorism should start with the US society and it's law. There are so much more American citizens victim of gun violence than all American citizens and soldiers combined that were victim of terrorist acts and/or who died on a battle field. Yet those who could change that still have their head in the sand. If Sandy Hook did not change anything i'm afraid this latest massacre will just be an other statistic.


Hit job by Trump.Lock Trump up! lock Trump up!


Despite all the melodrama and instability in BC politics, I'm rather satisfied with how things are playing out so far. Whoever leads and for however long, there will most likely be changes like those in the latest Liberal platform, resulting from the current opposition effectively holding the government to account. A minority government might not make any drastic changes but so what? The public service will keep the rest of the show running. This sure beats the inability of the Dems and GOP to agree on anything.


Who is they?  Mueller only at it for six months.


This represents two of the worst positions on the team. Production out of the tight end position has been terrible. Production out of the quarterback position is, well..., worse.  When is Denver going to have time to develop another young quarterback?  Siemian's confidence is shot. Osweiller has been damaged goods since Houston, and Lynch is long term at best. I see a trade coming at the quarterback position for next year.


Perceived threats against Gardner = Constients with tough questions. Lol, nice Gardner. You're really classy.


And what about holding over a year's worth of conversations with would-be developers of Kesey Square completely out of the eyes of the public? Ruiz likes to create plans for our city with wealthy developer and architects, and then present them to the council for a quick okay. When does the public get our say?  It's our city.


"... does not prevent the community to enforce those laws through community pressure ... a law that does not recognize a separation of church and state ... prone to create a parallel society ... their stated intention to transform the majority society's laws and culture ..."

Do you not recognize the irony? Every single one of those statements was also made about Catholicism, even by some of the Founding Fathers. Fortunately, rationality prevailed. I trust it will again.

At the end of the day, you can dislike and fear Islam all you want. That's your prerogative. But what isn't your prerogative is to codify that dislike and fear into law. Rational people will resist that if for no other reason than that protecting the rights of one group protects all. Once we give up that principle, the America we inherited from the founders will cease to exist.

I've said all I have to say so I'm moving on. Have the last word if you like. Peace.

That is not true at all - it does seem to be the meme du'jour for those who are pro-abortion, however.  A convenient misdirection, of course.

Most of us who are Pro Life are just that - pro life.  We recognize the sanctity and dignity of ALL life...from conception to natural death.  And work hard to dispel the ideas and culture  of "if it's inconvenient - get rid of it."

George Herbert Walker Bush will be remembered as the CIA field officer in attendance at, and in charge of, JFK's assassination.  Second in command:  E. Howard Hunt.

Silly man.  Rail can not fill 400 tankers , no matter how many times Albertans wish it.

Try to get the BC perspective.  We don't care about pipelines, so long as they don't fill 400 tankers which threaten 200,000 coastal jobs.

No tankers.  No one care about pipelines, build all you want.


What's trump doing about it? Nothing.


So, a couple of thoughts on this piece:
* So we should be following the rules of the UN and European Commission on the treatment of prisoners? When did they become the lawmakers of our land?  Just asking because the last time I checked, we were not bound with following the rules of another country or extraterritorial organizations.
* By far, this is not the biggest problem facing our prisons in Hawaii. Frankly, our prison system needs to see the upgrades and rebuilding of facilities that Gov. Ige advocated in his State of the State address earlier this year. Get the Legislature to start focusing on that first, and then maybe we can talk about attire issues.
* What about the families of prisoners in the mainland and what they have to suffer? Better yet, where is the article that says "bring them home, here is how".

Again, priorities....and keeping our eye on the big issues facing our prisons and prisoners in this state.

You are so misinformed. What is treasonous is that our OWN GOVERNMENT is secretly funding, training and arming the very terrorists - al-Qaeda, ISIS and others - who have declared war against the United States and who slaughtered over 3,000 innocent Americans on 9/11. That is treason. It is against our own constitution for our country to go to war with out Congress declaring war, yet the CIA has been doing it for decades while people sit blithely in their living rooms buying the pro-war propaganda. The interventionist wars in the Middle East have caused the deaths of over 500,000 children, cost the US trillions of dollars and led the dramatic uprise of ISIS and other jihadi terrorists. Tulsi is the only sane person trying to stop this insanity.


Gun-free zones are safe zones for armed criminals, terrorists and crazies.

Richard: Of all of your ridiculous comments, and the list is long, this ranks towards the top.  I know you're not a fan of informed opinions, but here's one:  The UAA team is excellent and their run should be celebrated. It includes many homegrown overachievers that have overcome injuries and other hardships as they doggedly pursued their dream. Their passion and their high level of play are inspirational, and they're extremely entertaining to watch.

Here's the difference between you and me - I know what I'm talking about.  My family includes a couple of NAIA National Champions (one an All American that coached D1 for many years), a D1 four year starter, and a D1 3-time All American that played on the National team.

My hat is off to the Seawolves. Your hard work and sacrifice got you to the highest level in the sport. You'll proudly (and rightly) remember this accomplishment for the rest of your lives.


Rick Perry's opinion is meaningless.


Before Mr. Singh parades his religious garb further in front of the Canadian electorate, perhaps he should read the comments that readers have penned to the article on Quebec's banning of face coverings. The overwhelming support for the measure by Globe readers - probably a fairly literate, liberal group - should send a signal to Mr. Singh. Canadians have pretty much banished Christianity from the public square, and, are in no hurry to allow religion back in different garb.


And the Democrats are FOR it!!??  Wow.  I am talking about shutting down NPRA which Hillary can do, or arctic offshore which Democrats have effectively done.


Nope.  Read the Chaput column in Catholic Philly!  Dave got it right.  No surprise!


Radir, learn that police officer is not the most dangerous job. Learn that danger on the job does not grant you special privileges nor eliminate regulatory oversight. You need a citation to prove that no ACLU lawyer could or would be a police officer. Plenty of cops have gone on to be lawyers. Even former prison inmates have become lawyers. Remember that blacks can't play sports.


You gotta admit, Trump sets himself up as a target. Even a more organized less gaff prone republican (John McCain?) wouldn't face this much controversy.


Glib comments and cute clown jokes from 'compassionate conservatives'. Guess you did not know the victim, so no empathy. Just another statistic.  Excuse me for being a little annoyed (but NOT OFFENDED).  Certainly could be bad drugs, but the murderer was coherent enough to throw away his glove and has a pretty serious criminal record.  Sounds like a wacko looking for a victim. Why are these people on the street, should be the question? Is mental illness a possible 'motive'?  (oh no, not THAT again)  Should CO have more funding for mental health?  No of course not, it is clearly not our problem and besides these people are degenerates who don't deserve to be treated, even if they are nuts. (sarcasm, yes)


Get rid of the stupid song and problem solved.


Why are the comments closed on the Bagdad bombing Globe?  Even with your new 'Civil Comments' group think, you still can't control the vernacular.   Consider journalism dead.  Go to Gab dot AI and speak freely people.


You're aware that the ASD is funded mostly at the municipal level, with a budget that has been growing every year despite a stagnant student body, right? This isn't an issue of lack of funding, but rather one of gross mismanagement. They can't even blame maintenance costs, as clearly looking at the last package we voted on, they bond that out anyway. So where are these hundreds of millions of dollars going every year, and why does the school board hold teachers like this hostage while blaming us? Lastly, why are we the voters not demanding answers to the above questions instead of taking the bait and blaming anything or anyone else offered up as scape goat by the ASD and ADN articles like this?


Yes.

"Safety first, unless you're too busy." That's what a co-worker said when the carpenters pulled the walls away and dropped a ceiling on my head as they rushed to dismantle a stage set while I was inside it removing fixtures. Luckily, it was a canvas flat and did no harm.

Safety is an issue when things are booming. You get more new people who don't yet know what's unsafe.

12 hours-plus is a standard work day in the film industry. The hours Mr Apa worked that day were the hours that the entire crew of 50 or more people works, 5 and sometimes 6 days a week, for the duration of the production, weeks or months. Things may have changed since I left it, but in 13 years in the film industry in Vancouver the only time the production ever mentioned paying for a hotel room was when no one could get home that night because the highway was shut down.  It would put a major wrench in the budget if even half the people in the crew said "I'm tired, I can't drive home" every second night.


Ignored by the writer is the fact that one of the most vocal Walden critics quoted in the news at the time was the one who came all the way to Bend from the coast, which is about a hundred miles away from Walden's  Second Congressional District.

This is the nationwide pattern which the Democratic Party has adopted; to attend town hall meetings  held by Republican Senators and Representatives to protest their positions.

They travel both intrastate and interstate for that purpose.

The tactic proves nothing about the "anger" within any particular District; it's jut good political  theatre and makes sound bites for future campaigns.


I will NEVER adhere to the principles espoused by Sophocles AGAIN........EVER!!!!!!!


American Forces were 'in harms way' somewhere in the world every single day of 'Obama Nobel Peace Prize' eight years in office. He didn't just hurt folk, his policies ensured many were killed both abroad and at home.
Time will tell whether Trump's legacy will be a greater or a lesser 'tragedy'(your description).
Your single minded apparent hatred of a president only just in office makes you a left wing bigot.


What's in Sander's closet? Whatever there is you can be sure team Trump will find it and use it. You'll only hear about it when and if he's nominated.  Sanders wins in the polling now because he's considered relatively "pure".


I agree that we don't have much latitude, and eventually we will want to sell the gas.  Sell it to a power-plant on the slope, and run HVDC down the Rail-Belt ... and also to the mining companies, so they can afford to use the cleanest processes available.  A small-diameter gas line to Fairbanks would make gas there cheaper than shipping it in by rail from Anchorage.


I hope Kaepernick saved a lot of the millions of dollars he was paid during his six years in the NFL.  He will need it when he starts a regular job like most of us.


So what? Can you at least start speaking about the Church of the last 30 years and not the Church in 1969?


Eeyore is going back to the pasture.  I'm kind of disappointed actually.  The entertainment value was due to be legendary.  He figured out real quick he's a nobody outside of Anchorage.  You would have thought the last gubernatorial race would have clued him in.


Discussing tax law and morality in the same sentence doesn't even rise to the level of an oxymoron; it's just ludicrous.

I will take advantage of my over 65 tax benefit; I will take advantage of my mortgage interest tax benefit; I will take advantage of my homeowners' property tax benefit; I took advantage of the tax benefits of have two children as dependents.

I will believe that your 'ethics and morality' exceeds mine if you tell me you will not do or have not done all of the above.

Until then, the 'ethics and morality' of tax law is a ludicrous subject and not worth discussing.

Actually the farmers are more concerned that if the illegals go they will actually have to start complying with many laws other employers have to follow.   That would include all the record-keeping and paying SS taxes on what they pay to legal employees, unemployment, workers compensation.

The NCAA needs to be abolished . They are the ones with the offensive name . Forcing N.D. to change it's name was extortion pure and simple .  The NCAA is nothing more than a money grabbing machine that deals out punishment with an iron fist. Schools , with the power of today's social media , should work to eliminate the NCAA . Schools would save a ton of money and not have to hire so many people just to make sure the NCAA doesn't fine them.


Dennison is a Dan Reeves Clone, good enough to get close but...


Ho hum!

We are all from earlier generations of immigrants. This is not news. This is numbers being twisted by someone who is trying to inflame sentiment on a non-issue. Our earlier immigrants were predominantly from what is now the UK and France. The current wave of immigrants are from further afield, and are from the same places that our forbearers would have also discriminated against in those much-earlier settlement years.

Immigrants who come to Canada legally, from wherever, and create wealth and healthy communities should be most welcome.

The headline is just plain stupid. Who edited this article? It appears to be more like click bait than representative of the articles content.

Damore has apparently filed an individual complaint at the  National Labor Relations Board, the gist of which is that he was being discriminated against for trying to convince co-workers to change their working conditions.  He is apparently also talking about filing a second complaint with the NLRB for unlawful reprisal.

Not a "Human Rights violation", not "for being male", not "for being white."

The only class-action lawsuit on the horizon is one by women over gender pay gaps at the company.

Other than that, SirJohnSirJohn5, your comment is accurate.


And just who is living a denial? Michele the first person to admit this phony PC move by Obama on the
Arctic is Charles Schumer. Now as the radical leftist Democrat from back East he certainly can read these PC tea leaves. But your PFD is becoming worthless as Texas just hit another Williston Basin ocean of oil and it is nice and warm in Texas. The Keystone will get passed,  The Sioux tribe will not succeed in stopping the pipe in North Dakota, as there are already 9 other pipe in that immediate area and no spills.

All this means is continued lower prices for Alaskan oil.

Let me quote your guy Obama. "Elections have consequences" Now if you want to debate Barack on that one feel free.

This is an article on the implementation of CURRICULUM in the Ontario Public School System.

Your original post implied that private and Charter schools -not wealthy and privileged students- were superior to the schools of the public system.

Your link to the CBC article is making my point for me. -Thanks for that. lol

If your original post had simply stated the obvious, that wealthy and privileged people do better in school, and in life, than everyone else, I'd be in complete agreement with you.


If Trump can legally "obstruct justice" - which Dershowitz has explained - it does not matter what legal venue he takes.  You may like one more than the other, but that is not how the laws work.   He has the authority to stop investigations, fire, and pardon.

That is not a bribe and stands no chance in court.  Even if it was true as Trump did not say what you put in quotes, there is no plausible case.  Wink and nods don't hold up in court.  The judge is not a mind reader.


You are wrong and if you can not admit you are weaker then the drug then you will forever underestimate it. You can not control it if you use it.

VFJ is a wonderful program, but they can not act as an attorney on behalf of the victims. They can not file motions, be a party to the case, or argue points in court. OVR can. They are a free ATTORNEY agency provided to victims just like the public defender/OPA is for the defendant. Without OVR, the victim has limited help, with agencies that can only guide them through the process. These agencies can not do what OVR does as they are not legally set up to. OVR is more than a support office, they are legal representation with legal attorneys.

Hillary Clinton is guilty of handling classified information in a reckless manner.  As the State Department report said,  Hillary Clinton never requested permission to set up a private server in her home.  The report continues.  If she would have asked permission,  permission would have been denied.  Hillary Clinton destroyed emails without the consent of the State Department in her effort to hide her disregard for protocol and the safety and security of the nation.  Hillary Clinton is currently under criminal investigation by the FBI.

I'm sorry people "feel" mad. They should be mad at CSIS for messing up. That's what the settlement is about. Law agencies can't cross lines. Trust me, we want them not to be able to do that. Khadr apologized to the American family, was 15, suffered in obscurity for years, terrified, and is not a danger to anyone. The body politic is so confused and knee jerk about everything, honest to goodness, so irrational.


Seems like a reasonable compromise when it's one baker and one couple. But then what's to stop every baker in a town from refusing them? How this would play out in reality would be a return to segregation, with separate water fountains and restrooms for whomever a religious devotee deems unworthy of being with. Gross.


Unfortunately, I believe most of what Kathleen says.  This is why I probably will not vote for him in the primary.   I do however like his style and I think he is one of the few people who will bring out the truth about the Clintons.


And I will not back down on doing everything I can do to defeat the Liberal MP in my riding. I'm angry and I'm having success convincing a lot of folks who voted Liberal in 2015 to commit to changing that in 2019


I am a 35 year old life long Alaskan. I have seen the shift over the years as more and more "diversity" has grown anchorage. It's a little disheartening how we have changed. You will always have the staunch right and the indignant liberals on the far sides of the spectrum. But it seems like now if you are a conservative and pride yourself on working hard and have harnessed the bennifits of capitalism for your families then you are automatically oil scum raping our resources. Sad to say we have become a welfare state, with our ten person families moving in and getting "their" PFD checks. What happened to an Alaskan just being an Alaskan, hard working and not for big government. We are a resource state, always will be. I wish we would align our stance so that we are not such a safe haven for those non-contributing members that seem to keep coming in droves. I don't care what hate comments I will probably get, I miss the Alaska I grew up with.

"Most people recognize that there are other challenges facing our culture that are at least of equal significance as gay marriage."  If this is all that is at stake - gays marrying, I would agree.  But gay marriage implies and opens up the door to many other situations such as children being adopted, business owners being forced to comply in a gay wedding ceremony (bakers, hall rentals, etc.), and same-sex sexual relationships as being acceptable, which , for a Catholic is problematic.  As far as Catholic teaching and Canon Law, Bishop Paprocki is not wrong in what he is suggesting, but perhaps somewhat imprudent as the writer accurately says funerals are about the grieving family.


So I'm overlooking the fact that only about 5% of Hillary and Bill's speaking fees came from big banks?

Zweli has actually given some of us sceptics hope, with his honesty on the weak leadership of Zuma. The easiest thing to do would be to act blind due to the role JZ played in grooming him. So let's be fair. As much as I think the MPs that voted for Zuma to go where patriotic, it's a dangerous precedent for the electorate to demand that MPs vote to dissolve the Government they elected. We could waste a lot of money, holding election after election. In that context, I understand the ANC wanting to get to the bottom of it. But the political reality is that the dominant faction (in the ANC) will abuse this process to isolate Cyril and that's not going to foster unity and continue to weaken the ANC.


If any decisions or entitlements are based on the color of your skin I thought that was racism and discrimination.


Remarkable, no? Mr. McKinnon traces the cause of the Syrian conflict to an apolitical young teenager scrawling some graffiti on a wall in Damascus. As the real contributing causes to that conflict are of the elephant-in-the-room sort, I guess the author dismisses them as being too obvious to be true.


I got the impression from Spicer that he wasn't a true believer, per sé, but rather a good Republican Company Man and thus towed the line.

You want good tax reform?  Take public sector pensions at 2x the highest marginal tax rate.  Let's see how much the uncivil service likes taxing and spending then.


Not to worry---with one tweet Trump fixed the problem.


The Emoluments Clause of the Constitution prohibits U.S. officials from receiving payments from foreign governments. Lawyers started warning about the potential for violations at Trump’s Washington hotel and overseas properties after he won the election, but the clause didn’t start applying to Trump until he took office on Jan. 20.

The Jan. 23-26 hotel stay paid by the Saudis likely a violation of the foreign emoluments clause.

“The problem with Donald Trump’s constitutionally forbidden foreign government cash and other benefits is not just that any one particular payment is problematic — it’s also a systemic problem,” said Norm Eisen, who was President Barack Obama’s ethics czar and is now part of a lawsuit accusing Trump of violation the Emoluments Clause.

“It’s another tile in the mosaic of unconstitutional behavior.”

The Republicans have not made abortion a litmus test as have the Democrats. There are quite a number of pro-choice Republicans, e.g Rudy Giuliani, Arnold Schwarzenegger, that have not been tarred and feathered and run out of the party on a rail. In this the Republicans have been smarter than the Democrats. The Democrats need to wise up if they are really serious about winning elections and if they really care more for the good of the country more than they do about their love affair with abortion and identity politics.

The Jays now have 6 at home with Texas and Cincy. Texas has been hot, Cincy not. It might be a wash, say 3-3.

One thing about intellectual integrity is saving actual quotation marks for quotes . . . not what you've just made up, Thuggernaut.

What Levant and Rebel Media already carry are the words of the judge in Levant's 2014 defamation suit:

"The numerous errors made by the defendant [Levant] also speak to the question of malice. Although he agreed in cross-examination that it was important to publish accurate facts, he did little or no fact-checking regarding the posts complained of, either before or after their publication. Nor did he accurately report what was taking place at the hearing. And, with one exception, when he learned that he got his facts wrong, he made no corrections."


Speak Out Seattle! is a citizen's group that is part of King County Initiative 27 coalition which, if passed February 2018, would make drug consumption sites illegal across King County.  We have faced an uphill battle because advocates have enjoyed unprecedented media access.  SOS agrees with the King County Opioid Task Force that access to treatment is needed, and we also agree with needle exchanges, because they are evidence based.  We would like to see them enhanced with wound care, counseling, and access to treatment.  Access to treatment is the number one problem.  Drug consumptions sites are ineffective at coaxing people into treatment.  69,000 injections in King County per day:  500 would be supervised by a drug consumption site.  NO to drug consumption sites!  Use our resources wisely.  NALOXONE distribution will save many more lives.


When I was young, I very much wanted to be a boy.  I even imagined growing a penis.  I grew up, and no longer think that way.  Children have no real sense of themselves until adulthood.  A gender reassignment surgery/therapy should at least wait until age of 18, or even later.


Rochdale - quite frankly your opinions aren't worth much. A Trump supporter is all you are and really the mass majority of Canada thinks this man is nuts and that doesn't bode well for the person who supports a wingnut.


Is it possible that His Holiness in his role of primate of a universal church, was actually NOT thinking of the issues which drive you good RC as expressed here. I raise the possibility he was thinking of the developing world, as well as his own Latin America, where clergy in the episcopacy have too often become part of the ruling establishment caudillo class and clericalism was sometimes rampant. Didn't I read a biography article suggesting Bergoglio was tolerant of "slum" priests who bent the rules while Francis was Archbishop in Buenos Aires?

At the risk of channeling the sarcastic shtick of "Kurgan", stop complaining RC for after all there are no more 20 year old cardinal nephews in Rome and no Cardinal running a court and country for a young king, or priests and Pope attempting to depose and inspire rebellion against good Queen Bess. Be happy they just like bling and hearing the-ahem-swish of satin in front of a long mirror.


whats this guy whining about. they got buttloads of cash and free land. shut up already


Governor [Doctor] Kitzhaber, You don’t have a job anymore, you must have plenty of spare time, why don’t you volunteer to help those less fortunate folks you pretended to care about as a politician?


No Fish, there is no criminal action associated with Russia influencing the US election.  Please cite statute that makes it so.  Even if Trump and the Russians had signed an agreement, I have been told that their is no statute that makes it illegal.

You may not like the notion, but that does not make it illegal.  Moreover, Flynn has not been indicted for anything, much less convicted, and thus if you are an American and abide by our constitution you must treat Flynn as innocent until proven guilty by a jury of his peers.

The visceral dislike of many for Trump allows them to imagine crimes where only distaste plays a role in their perception.


If Mr. and Ms Khan insist on playing along with Hillary and the democratic BS then I think they should expect whatever they get back. We have a Muslim problem and we have a black problem in this country. We don't seem to have a Philippine, Korean, Chinese, or a Samoan problem, but we sure seem to have the more than enough with the other two.
This issue has nothing to do with the sacrifice of the son and everything to do with Hillary using another prop to take a swipe at the opposition. That convention was stuffed full of props paraded across the state and I didn't hear a single one of them stand there and tell me WHAT THEY have done to change it. Not a single one. And Hillary, all she did was the same thing she and all her predecessors before her, both parties by the way, promise them the moon for their vote and do absolutely NOTHING. That folks is why we are in the same place after billions and years wasted.


It works in 37 countries with better care than the USA but our leadership is apparently too stupid to make it work here.


The Canadian Legion  also would'nt allow Chinese Canadians to be
members .
The Army and Navy Vets welcomed them and while I attended one of their functions was told by the Past President   the reason why there was a Chinatown Branch was  because of the prejudice of the Royal Canadian Legion at that time.  It was an enlightening experience and great dinner.

Only it reminds me of that thing in "Importance of Being Earnest," Act 2, where Miss Prism says to Reverend Chasuble, "A misanthrope I can understand; a womanthrope, never!" To which he replies, "with a scholarly shudder," "Believe me, I do not deserve so neologistic a phrase!"

I find no theological objection to what you say about God here, and what God can and cannot do. I wonder, though, what "wallow in error" really refers to, and also "fix things." With the historical record in mind, God seems evidently to have allowed countless varying interpretations of the original revelation to flourish; by criteria both other-Christian and non-Christian, many of these look regrettable, or worse. Worship that god, if you like. Fastening on the masculinity of God and Jesus, as the RCC does, is just an interpretation, based on a particular way of treating first-century realities. That's all.


"Yours is a war for representation. You desperately want to gain control over how various groups are represented. You want to remove a group's power to represent itself and expect outsiders to recognize, acknowledge and speak in its own language."

Do you seriously deny that all this applies to the "gay rights" movement?


I saw that quote and my first thought was that Sen Sasse was correct except to say that it isn't "Trump's" office, its ours...

Love seeks ever closer unity with the beloved.
What gets in the way of such intimate unity? (an intimacy greater than sexual intimacy).
Not letting go of one's pride...
perhaps, one's vanity..one's desire for mere human respect...accolades, the "desire to be consulted", etc.
one's "hurt" from 50 years ago being bullied.

Lots of things.

The interior life that Jesus seeks with each of us requires a lot of detachment from various things.

The moral law which is given to us by the Church..it is the interpreter...may have criteria associated with it.

Those aren't rules, but pathways to every closer unity.

Going on a good retreat..a good one...gives one time and quiet to "take up" these things in prayer with Our Lord.

Especially things that we have allowed ourselves to build "self-justifications" around.

Those must be opened up, and shown to God, as a child shows a nasty scab to his or her parent, asking for help.

"From 1993 to 1994, Schreiber said he met with Mulroney three times in hotel rooms in Montreal and New York and handed over envelopes stuffed with cash. The money, according to Schreiber, had come from a secret account he had created in Zurich, under the codename BRITAN."

Remind me as to who was the Canadian Prime Minister in 1993 again ?

Con outrage might actually be meaningful if it wasn't also strictly partisan.

"Inconsequential" = alternative fact


You sound like the typical government-funded blowhard guided by naive idealism and a contempt for reality, ironic that those who are net takers of government services are the most vocal proponents for publicly funded entitlements. "They" will pay for it, they always do.

Come on Motley, isn't there a part of you that would like to be young and crazy enough to ride a bicycle through a very packed store? Fortunately, there are few of us who would under any circumstances behave in such a way. Based on your description of his activities, Crowe is on a manic fugue. Indeed, he is lucky to be alive.


Sounds like she's already living a free life.  She has an apartment, a cat, a dog, can drive, with all expenses paid for by the government?  What crime can I commit and get the same deal?


It's always suspicious when any government wants to sell publicly-owned assets to private corporations, and it's never in the interests of the Canadian people. No corporation is going to buy an asset that isn't profitable, and if it is profitable, you have to ask why the profits should go to the corporation rather than to the Canadian public.


Good thing that homeowner had a gun in order to defend his property, family, and life from one of the mindless freaks that are there who may have done God knows what!


Walker and the Dems want more taxes, lower dividends, less industry and more wasteful spending in the Bush.

I trust the BC Green party, and Andrew Weaver the most, Mr. Weaver came across as knowing his facts, very sincere with some smart platforms including the focus on prevention in health care.  Which will not only help improve the quality of lives for people but save billions of dollars as acute care is far more expensive then primary/prevention.   The savings of which can be put towards helping seniors for example, and paying off the 69 billion dollar provincial debt which ballooned under  Ms. Clark.  I have voted Liberal federally but the BC liberals and Ms. Clark constantly mislead the public and misuse tax dollars for their own benefits ie. using BC tax payer dollars for their own ads. I do not trust Ms. Clark and she commits fraud ie. she says every year the BC books are balanced false they are balanced by transferring/stealing money from ICBC and BC Hydro ratepayers.   I know many people whom have voted liberal federally whom vote Green in BC.


May he requiescat in pacem and when he meets his maker may he have a really good explanation.


Thanks for this article, Denby. Much needed. We did try to say "Stop. Enough already" to the erection of a building  in our neighborhood with little redeeming grace-- except the prospect of maximizing income for its foreign owners, while blocking views, light and breezes for the houses right next to it. None of our questions or concerns merited thoughtful responses from Avalon, the developer of 7000 Hawaii Kai. http://www.civilbeat.com/2014/12/run-over-by-a-well-oiled-machine-in-hawaii-kai/  As we noted then:."The  Department of Planning and Permitting had given the developer the green light despite the fact that several conditions of the agreement on which the Neighborhood Board’s approval was based do not seem to have been honored." Apparently developers can get away with paying lip service to their "sense of place" and dispensing platitudes about enhancing the character of the neighborhood.


Bah, Canada doesn`t have the resources to compete with its more mature cousins in this endeavor. It would kinda be like some high school dweeb wanting to ask a babe from the school cheerleading squad to the prom but then knowing he`s got the voice of a prepubescent. Might be more realistic just to concentrate exclusively on making Canada a global hockey powerhouse. Even that might be threatened now with the Chinese emergence in the sport.


Was there a light at that crosswalk? Pedestrians are not supposed to cross, even in a crosswalk, against the light. Perhaps that's why the motorist was giving him a lecture?


Yeah right. His years of birtherism wasn't racialy motivated! Snort. And his hobnobing with Bannon and David Duke were just friendly chats. And his discriminatory actions start in 1973, when the United States Department of Justice went to court with a discrimination complaint against the Trump family business, which rented apartments across Brooklyn and Queens.
Next in the Trump record on race came a 1991 book by John O’Donnell, who had been president of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City. O’Donnell quoted Trump saying,“ Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys wearing yarmulkes… Those are the only kind of people I want counting my money. Nobody else…Besides that, I tell you something else. I think that’s guy’s lazy. And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks.
In other words, Tyrone, you are wrong. Trump is a proud bigot.


"electric personal motor vehicle" means an electric personal assistive mobility device that is a self-balancing vehicle with two nontandem wheels, designed to transport only one person, has an electric propulsion system, and has a maximum speed of not more than 15 miles an hour;

The state of Alaska requires electric bike riders to obtain at least a level M2 permit to ride. Riders must be at least 14 years old and have a parent or guardian’s permission to obtain the M2 permit. Any rider over the age of 16 can ride an electric bike with an M1 or M3 license as long as the rider has had an instruction permit for 6 months prior to being licensed.

Electric bikes may ride on roadways, paths and sidewalks unless it is specifically posted to exclude bicycles.

Our 150th anniversary as one of the great nations on earth, a country that has always been a democracy.  A celebration amongst men, women, and children.  A happy occasion once per year.

 And yet the Liberals and Indigenous leaders have conspired to make this a political event to make proud Canadians feel bad about themselves.   They have taken this one step too far that has the potential to backfire on them.


It would be nicer if Bridich can figure out a way to keep both Holland and Neseck after this season, and lock Marquez and Freeland into long term contracts before they get too expensive.  The two best starters he has are working for minimum wage.


There is a strong and bipartisan consensus...where is the bipartisan concensus coming from?   That's like saying everyone believes...who is 'EVERYONE" Who are the "bipartisan" folks?  It's like the kid that tells the parents, But Dad, EVERYONE is doing it, when they know two other friends who are.  Don't believe it!

The relationship between Chin and the Ige cannot be anything but amicable.  Doesn't the A/G serve at the pleasure of the Governor?  He is a political appointee.  What else would you expect from a political appointee?  Ige slipped in a $5M budget item into the A/G's budget for "security" that Chin didn't even know about, denied it came from Ige, (WAM hrg) but Tokuda called him on it. Tokuda embarrassed the A/G, and likely Ige. Tokuda gets axed for doing a good job...hmmm  That must be what happens when you are too good and not "political" enough.

There is a "swamp" (corruption) in Hawaii that needs to be drained as well.  I wonder if anyone has the guts to do that.


Archbishop Broglio' s job is to oversee ministry to people in the American military, not to toady up to political rulers.  He should stay out of politics.


What's ironic here is that if they were still mining there today none of these problems would exist.


It seems that one's right to freedom of expression stops short of endangering the lives of others by driving like a maniac to encourage others to read one's political statement.  The content of the  political statement appears to have been incidental to the conviction.

Zabel's conduct was neither as reckless, nor as partisan.  The hat's message, while imprudent for a judge to display in court, was tangential to the politics of the jurisdiction in which he serves.

Anyone who correctly predicted that election outcome should be forgiven for having overplayed their hand slightly when proven correct.  Being correct says very little about one's politics; rather it speaks to the sagacity of one's judgement.

And the numerous lies regarding same sex marriage (priest will be sent to jail for refusing to witness gay marriages!!!  It will destroy the whole institution of marriage!!!), abortion causes breast cancer.   Gay sex is taught in public schools!!!  All homosexuals are child molesters!!!  Etc, etc, etc...


I consider it accurate, not because of what section it's in but because of the facts that are presented in the article and the wording of the actual motion itself.

If you think this is somehow "fake news" and not factual then I find that alarming.


I think you're kinda missing my point and cherry picking that Chicago is on the list. There are many cities better than Denver for riding (I'm talking within the city). So forget US 36, most of the CC trail, most of the Platte river trail. If you look at Denver's bike network (somobody posted link above) the amount of true bike lanes is pathetic. Never mind separated bike lanes or sidepaths.


Yawn....zzzzzzzzzz. I'm pretty confident that our ultra-conservative state will continue to overlook this fools poor behavior and send him back for another 2 years of nothing only because an R is next to his name.

Having done some recent research on this, I have to say I was surprised to learn that some on the Left did push to get the mentally ill freed from what was basically prisons. But they didn't want them to go on the streets. They wanted smaller group type homes.
I don't see how anyone could have overlooked the role Reagan played. He did deinstitutionalize the mentally ill by releasing them without support systems. They ended up on the streets.
Do you now believe that? I can show you the history if you don't want to look it up. I remember specifically sitting on my deck in the 80s and reading about it in a Scientific American article.


I see that Charles has had my response deleted. So, here it is again: Coulter acted like a five-year old with a massive sense of entitlement. Good for Delta not to be black-mailed by her childish rants.


With the number of guns in the country, that's not a terrible assumption. Just another benefit of the NRA idea of freedom.


we'd be better off holding a lottery for seats in the legislature.

In every game this season as well as last, you'll see Sanders running free to the end zone with Siemian looking the other way. Ditto DT and others. The report we got this camp is that he's so smart and has learned the O so well that he knows where to go with the ball before it's snapped. The last time I heard that BS it was Griese-ball's 3rd season where all he ever did was dump it. It's what I'm seeing here too.


Every year I hope it is their last year and had ended before it began.  It is disgusting.

It just goes to show you, if you make enough money you can break all the laws.   Hallucinogens, marijuana, cocaine, alcohol, heroin, it is all there.  You can't smoke cigarettes in a public place, but there you can smoke heroin and eat ecstasy and acid.  Just once I would like to see them bust all those people "camping" out there that are doing the "set-up" for the fair.  Daytime is bad, nighttime is worse.  So much for police patrols.

There are enough drugs there to make any Narco squad elated.  However, it is hands-off, because they make money and we know cash talks.  It seems that any law they want to break is "fair" game.   Pedophiles run rampant at the showers.  The parents are often too stoned or whatever to take care of their children, who are often molested, injured or lost (daily).  I don't see how any of that is "terrific" or "a lot of fun."

I hope it pours down rain until Monday.


The timing in your reply is a bit off...she was caught criticizing the PM and then realized she was also in a  pickle and checked with the ethics adviser..seems to me this is common sense and the old adage..people in glass houses...comes to mind!

From article: "'My biggest worry is the status quo continues – and the potential slim BC Liberal majority continues to drag its feet on transit investment..'"

No foot dragging has occurred!!

Before the May 09 election-vote, BC's Prov govt committed to fund a full 40% of Translink's Mayor's Council's $7.5 billion Transit Plan, with the Federal govt, several months earlier- committing to fund an additional 40%...

... this instead of the traditional formula of each level of govt (cities/prov/feds) being responsible for 33% of costs...

Despite having to only find 20% of the funding required to pay for "their" $7.5 billion "plan", predictably, members of Translink's MC are pouting and preposterously claiming that somehow it is all the current prov govt's fault that their plan isn't being implemented...

Deranged.... Plainly out of touch with reality.... Or just dishonest politicking...

Where is the infrastructure spending?


Nothing unusual here, it's always standard procedure to play the race card, when things aren't going your way.  But if this player feels that strongly about his position, then he can devote as much off-duty time and money as he wants to try to improve the perceived problem..............and still maintain his high paying job by following the league policy.  Or he can quit or he can kneel and suffer the consequences.  Perhaps the six or seven figures on his check stub will help him decide.


I don't know what the proper paperwork involved might have been, but the intent to do so across the board was reported in the pages of this newspaper.


I have a colleague who had been travelling back and forth to South Africa for years on business who claims that the place has been essentially devolving into lawless chaos.  On his last trip they were carjacked and robbed at gunpoint and then later in the trip the person in the hotel room one floor below them was robbed and murdered by a man who climbed up the balconies.  He tells me that he has now refused to go back there.


The ADFG signed a 1992 agreement with the US Fish & Wildlife Service, a Memorandum of Understanding, to manage our federal wildlife refuges for natural diversity. Instead our Alaska Board of Game and lapdog ADFG  pursue a program of slaughter, chasing and shooting bears and wolves from helicopters, plus other means of barbaric mayhem  disrespecting  wildlife and savaging Alaska's claim to wildlife paradise. Killing cubs and pups in dens, and more, add up to anything and everything but managing for natural diversity. The1992 MOU has since even been renewed. The USFSS and National Park rules attempt to return ethics and stewardship where State of Alaska pursues a wildlife savagery holocaust. Shameful, repugnant and abusive in the extreme while ignoring the value of  keystone predators in healthy ecosystems, a lost principle.  Many Alaskans have  strongly supported  these NPS and .USFWS rules attempting biodiversity  while Alaska pursues wild lands game hunting farms.


Chocholate cake and a glass of milk?  Now, that's spooky.  Might scare people to death.


The NDP plan to eliminate MSP premiums, eliminate tolls on the Port Mann Bridge and Golden Ears Bridge, bring in a $10-a-day child care program (even though Quebec now charges more than $10 per day for their child care program), and Horgan says that they will empty out the "fake" BC Prosperity Fund to help pay for the NDP platform (if they win).

Once the BC Prosperity Fund is completely empty, where will the money come from to cover all of the NDP promises?  If the BC Prosperity Fund was created with revenues from MSP premiums, where are the NDP going to find money once MSP premiums are completely eliminated?

The NDP platform will likely produce deficit budgets.  Horgan can promise balanced budgets from now until election day, but I don't believe him when he says that an NDP government led by him will produce balanced budgets.

The reason I don't believe Horgan can balance the budget is that the NDP platform requires the emptying out of the BC Prosperity Fund.


And the state is booming. What's your point? That the same could be true if the Alaska lege was full of Dems? Well by golly you are right on the money if that's the spike you're driving.

THE JOURNAL OF GLOBAL DRUG Policy AND PRACTICE

A Critical Evaluation of the Effects of Safe Injection Facilities

Garth Davies, Simon Fraser University

Conclusion: Taking Causality Seriously

On the subject of the effects of SIFs, the available research is overwhelmingly positive. Evidence can be found in support of SIFs achieving each of the goals listed at the beginning of the evaluation. In terms of our level of confidence in these studies,the assessment offered here is far less sanguine. In truth,none of the impacts attributed to SIFs can be unambiguously verified. As a result of the methodological and analytical problems identified above, all claims remain open to question.

The sole purpose guns were invented was to win battles by killing the enemy.  The sole purpose continues to be to kill other living creatures.  That someone claims "self-defense" is ancillary, as that so-seldom happens.  Guns are meant to kill.  Period.


The loss of genuine non-combatants is tragic. Being caught in a war zone in the midst of combatants is a terrible fate for those who have no choice. It is obvious that the US military is making an effort to try and avoid these losses but it is also obvious that such losses can only be eliminated by stopping the attacks. This would leave non-combatants safe from the unintentional acts of the US and deliver them to the intentional barbarity of ISIS. Not much of a choice when you put it into perspective.

".........is looking to contract a private security firm next month to provide homeless outreach services and removal and storage of property in addition."

I can see a security firm taking care of the removal and storage of property, but they shouldn't provide outreach services.  We already have outreach people and they so far, haven't been too successful.  How would a security firm change the outcome?  On top of that, are there any security firms trained to provide proper outreach services?

Out-of-control public expenditures on salary and benefits have already put the squeeze on capital infrastructure projects like state roads and highways, schools and airport and harbor maintenance.  One not-so-secret joke is that state government is in the "business" of providing patronage "make work" positions, and only provide government services as an extra. You wonder at those folks who you see walking in and around the Downtown Civic Center area, wondering what they actually do throughout the day. Hmmm


I'm sorry you're having trouble remembering your initial post. It contained both your claim that something adjacent to another thing is the same as being in that thing (the opposite of adjacent) and that 19th and Downing is "downtown," which it isn't.

Maybe I just know Denver streets better than you do.


The effect on others of a collapse in the housing bubble isn't just that their houses decline in value. In fact this is the least of the effects. Far worse will be a tightening of credit for everyone, responsible individuals and corporations and irresponsible ones, those with top drawer  credit ratings and those without, thanks to the presence of billions in bad debt on the ledgers of financial institutions.  Business credit has been readily available for the last few years, but business investment hasn't been slow, in part because our provincial governments have been working assiduously to increase business costs and decrease business investment. Just think of what will happen when business credit isn't readily available.


The researchers found only a minuscule probability... blah blah blah... therefore inferred that the events in question could be attributed to human-caused climate change.
..
Gobbledygook.  The next part of this BS goes something like this:  "Humans, since you are the cause of everything that happens to the weather patterns we need to control you and make you ride bikes and take buses and behave exactly like us, the people that care more than you.  Prepare!  Prepare to come into line or we will smite you and crush your car that is too big and move you out of the house that is too big for you and make you stop eating foods we do not approve of.  You must speak as we do and believe as we do or we will belittle you and protest you.  You WILL come into line with the correct way to think."
..
For those willing to think for themselves, here is food for thought:
If there were no humans, what caused the end of the Ice Age?


RESPECT is gone in this country thanks to the liberal NUT JOBS.... Never in my life have I heard so much HATE, ATTACKS and B$ from the media and the LOSERS of the last election.  SICKENING !!


With the number of other legislative initiatives that the government is working on (and no, enacting this change does not mean it's a top priority for the government), I don't see that the government is focusing just on sexual orienation in any way, shape, or form. But individuals such as yourself are more than welcome to stop concentrating on it.


"Socialism: From those who have, to those who need."

Which has nothing to do with safe zones, protesting, or professors (allegedly) offering extra credit to do so.

In other words, you threw the word in where it didn't belong.  That's why it was said that you don't know the definition (which, BTW---what you just spouted is end stage Marxism, not socialism).  But, I get it.....you have it in your mind that UC-Berkeley is the only public university.


Like has been said many times .... those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.  I think we have a responsibility to know the whole truth .... even if it makes us uncomfortable.


And just one other thing - would you want to employ people like these at your workplace? Can you imagine the havoc and criminality at your workplace when things don't go their way?

Entitlement culture. Bottom line.


Media tells us the "working" class and unemployed who rarely vote came out and actually voted for Trump.  How do you broadly describe these people as "ignorant" and also White Privilege?  Media also tells us 70% of black Americans are not raised by their fathers.  Government took them away with all the subsidies and special programs that ultimately replaced Daddy.  Instead of ranting and raving about someone else's ignorance and privilege, all people should work on themselves to make his/her life better and raise his/her children to be responsible, caring adults.  Identity politics is not solving anything.  No one is perfect.  We are human.  So life is a challenge to improve our lot, together.


Not by Executive Order at all. Congress makes laws, including trade agreements. The Executive enforces those laws and can propose and sponsor bills in the House, including one to abrogate NAFTA.


They were built in the 1920's, when "Birth of a Nation" was filmed and the Klan had a resurgence (including a Denver Mayor by name of Stapleton)


I work in tourism David, not oil. Yes I supported SB21 and don't regret.

And the PF? It's nice to have isn't it? The very reason it was created was so that it can be "raided". No?

Good to see you back on the threads. Your posts are amusing.


Retired boomer here with happy memories of A&W visits with my parents, brothers, and sister when we went to town on occasional Saturdays. During my oil patch career I would often hit A&W for quick, tasty calories when working near smaller towns in rural Alberta. The onion rings were always my personal favourite A&W menu item.

Fast forward 30+ years to a recent A&W visit. I had a Papa cheeseburger and an order of onion rings; cost was about $13 - not inexpensive. The burger was packaged such that most of the cheese melted and oozed onto the wrapper; very messy to deal with. The burger was much too salty for my taste. The onion rings were just as I remembered from my childhood - absolutely killer! But, they were outrageously expensive. My little bag contained precisely 7 individual onion rings. For $5 that is what is called price gouging.

Marketing to hipsters is all well and good but in the fast food business it is all about the perceived value for price paid. I give A&W a fail.


Don't look like it, it was listing about 45 degrees to the right, kinda like some of the comments here;-)


We get to comment on death in Trump's America, but the comments about the Islamic  terrorist attack in Edmonton is closed. Islamophile politics  treats us  like children when bad things happen in Canada.


"Kevin O’Leary doesn’t have a clue how the country he hopes to govern one day operates."

That may be.  And in a future column, Mr. Mason, please do "go on" with regard to "this man’s idiocies."  Wouldn't be a waste of my time to read it--and I assure you, not a waste of your time in listing them.  One of your readers might be Mr. O'Leary himself, so you'd not only be doing G&M reades a service, but perhaps the Conservative party AND--who knows?--the country as a whole.  In fact, I believe you have a DUTY to do so!

Re: Mr. O'Leary's blunt assessment of the Alberta government--well, what would you expect from a Conservative? The candidate might have chastised the federal Liberals for that wad of cash they blithely handed to AB a few months ago.  If I was premier of Saskatchewan or Manitoba, I'd rightfully squeal, "Hey!  We're suffering here, too.  Where's ours?"

There's probably lots our PM still has to learn--plenty of G&M commenters would agree!  That's what advisers are for.


Only the losing side demands the rules be changed because they can't win the game as it is currently constituted.

Your comment puts the lie to the oft-made claim that , "Election system reform is only about making every vote count."  It is very clear to see why you promote election system reform; it's to influence the outcome to your liking.


we should have done that!!!!!


Oh, they'll be un-masked. you can take that to the bank.  The Feds are on them like flies in a barnyard. Their insurrection and disregard for law and order, inciting violence and riots. Oh yeah, their days are numbered.


Post your source of President Obama permitting (let alone even knowing) people to use the term "nigga" in the White House.  I know with certainty that President Obama wouldn't allow it.


The " I want to blow up the white house"  f bomb filled rant by Madonna, the car burnings, the constant warnings about neo nazis and Hitler on MSNBC and by speakers at the March, the constant talk about the now tiny and irrelevant KKK on CNN and no name white supremacists, the lunatics running to be the DNC chair, one of whom said " my job is get white people to shut their mouths" ... these things are NOT helping. Not one of the tens of millions of women or men who voted for Trump is going to regret their vote seeing these people on stage.


No, it's not the best government can do.  It's the best the Dems and Repubs will do, because instead of taking care of the troops and citizens, they pour the money into wars for profit and wall street.  And the blame lays squarely on the shoulders of the big party voters.

In a voting republic, the masses get the punishment they deserve.  Problem is the rest of us have to suffer, too.


I support Tulsi Gabbard no matter what she does. She has more courage than any other member of congress, in my opinion, and she truly cares about the citizens of this country, especially our service members.


The "Five Eyes" alliance (plus Israel) collaborate all the time...
"Three separate intelligence sources believe that former President Obama veered ‘outside the chain of command’ and employed British surveillance agents to conduct surveillance on Donald Trump’s team prior to the election, according to a legal analyst. "

"Judge Andrew Napolitano revealed on ‘Fox & Friends’ this morning that the sources spilled the details to him as the controversial case continues to dominate headlines."
“Three intelligence sources have informed Fox News that President Obama went outside the chain of command,” Napolitano said. “He didn’t use the NSA, he didn’t use the CIA, he didn’t use the FBI, and he didn’t use the Department of Justice.”

“He used GCHQ.” Napolitano explained.

... Plausible deniability indeed.


I appreciated the warm weather and so did the wild berries, the grouse and gardens. Thank you Mother Nature.


What about Catholic  prelates telling us we can now disregard those 10 commandments?


TYPICAL left ...haters


“Canada has always done more than its share in NATO and we will continue to,” Trudeau said.
------------------------

Trudeau lies
Canada's share is 2% of GDP but Canada spends 1 %

so by what logic can Justin say
more than its share
"more" would be 3 %


I think we need an explicit definition of "Christian" here.

Let us remember that the statues of Lee and Jackson date not from the Confederacy but from the apartheid times of US "Jim Crow" laws.

Given Jesus said something like you will know my followers by their "LOVE" ... to me that needs to be the criterion used to determine is something is consistent with our faith ... as well as our actual teachings.

To me ... these legalistic approaches merely help to promote the agenda of those whose interests are served by the likes of the Council for National Policy and all their dark money affiliated organizations.


This paper's headlines constantly abuse the word 'indigenous'.

The actual meaning of this headline as written is:  "Woman’s death in custody exposes  policing issues originating or occurring naturally in a particular place"

I doubt that's what they intended, but illiteracy leaves them stuck.


General Lee DID speak out against slavery... then proceeded to fight for it. while the era he lived in was different in many ways, he still understood slavery to be wrong so I'm not sure what you're getting at. Furthermore, I'm fairly certain the word "treason" means the same thing now as it did then.


JF,  I see Sanders more like the McGovern wing of the democrats in 1972.  Sanders missed his opportunity for real change when he declined the Green Party's invitation to lead their presidential ticket this year.  He had an opportunity to have an immediate impact and make the Green Party a viable third party and attract folks from all parties (republicans, democrats, and Libertarians) who see the status quo as leading us into oblivion.  Much like what Gary Johnson and Bill weld are trying to do with the Libertarian Party.  Bernie's decision was opportunity lost for us all.


We common folk and academic community talk of competition as though that's how the big boys and girls play in the job market. Note: Big boys and girls do not play in the job market. It's not about competition. It never was! The secret to their "success" is not by competing, but by combining. We are lured into this belief, indoctrinated, that we must compete to be successful. That concept is way, way wrong. The concept is destructive. The concept is neither a reflection of our existence nor of our culture/s. Animals compete. Humans combine. If you can accept this alternative concept and real premise, then, we can evaluate whether a salary over $200,000+ is "fair". The day is near where definitions are clear, easily understood, and practical. When resources are appropriated through power and control by the few, for the few, there is no other way to our own salvation but to strip away the layers of irrelevant education and learn/share as our ancestors had done. Hold fast family/friends.


Start with AntiFa.................. they pose as left wing, and are violent thugs.  They are associated, more or less to the Dems in the USa, and the Libs in Canada.
Can you justify their actions ?


I agree completely and think this type of data gathering should be a Vatican priority.   There is certainly enough money to get this done, even globally.  (We progressives may be in for a cold shower, but I doubt it.)

Your INTJ friend....


Since McCain made the comments in Italy I am commenting in Italian to explain McCain to Italian.: "Sto' figlio di miniotta e uno che ha perso la meta del cervello al cancro, e ancora amaro e vindicativo perche il Presidente ha detto di lui: un eroi mio cazzo, eroi non si fanno prigionieri. Per altro si e presentato alla Presidenza nel 2008 ha raccolto pocho piu di 40% dei voti, se deve dire : non ho riuscito e sto bastardo senza esperinza politica ha vinto, sono mortificato ancora di piu.


Hey Delta Dag, at least Hawaii has some aloha spirit and culture. The only culture in Orlando is found in yogurt !!!


Great article, thanks for the link.


I am curious what percentage of the Ontario population will benefit much from Marijuana legalization and availability in retail outlets? If it is more than 5% it would blow me away. There has to be much more important legislation that we can concentrate our attention on. Quite frankly I think it is a waste of time.


My neighborhood association, Arnold Creek, came up with a different way to restrict who can vote on Association matters.  To be eligible to vote, one has to attend a meeting within the preceding 6 months (of the vote) and annually thereafter.
To me, organized attempts - like these - to limit who can vote on Association matters calls question to the concept of why neighborhood associations exist in the first place and whether they are still relevant or representative of all the people who live within their boundaries.
For one, I think the City should only recognize (and/or potentially fund) the activities of Neighborhood Associations that are inclusive and have adopted by-laws that do not restrict who can vote in any material fashion.


Good points.

It's also bizarre that the authors wrap their argument in concerns about women entrepreneurs.  I think the current slang for that is a false flag.  In fact, maintaining tax advantages for personal corporations will benefit everybody who owns one, male or female, while doing precisely nothing to help the vast majority of self employed women who aren't incorporated.


I have seen 4 so far. One of the neighbors thinks there might be 6. But some might be neeighborhood cats who have scented the cat food we leave and have it on their radar to show up when fresh food comes!


Well, the easter egg in the penultimate sentence was...it's [sic] own reward.


Traders all three of them. Hell and brimstone on them. Fraud is fraud and the light of the day is on them,


...and don't let Papadopoulos be overshadowed by Gates. This whole trump campaign is a cesspool of collaboration with Russia dating back to at least the DNC email hack. The Statement of Offense on Papadopoulos is pretty damning.


This is the Liberal way, it has never changed.


This hubbub makes mockery of a serious situation. Since when did it become sound foreign policy to only meet with allies when trying to bring peace to a war? The phony concern about "meeting a murderer" reeks to high heaven of political motivations against Tulsi personally. Everyone sees it for what it is but the people pushing that meme. With such blatant political opportunism obvious in the flimsy rationale behind the attacks on Tulsi, you would think those who promote it would be embarrassed to look so obviously insincere - travel expenses to Syria? Are you kidding me? What, you think it's a resort of some sort, Club Bomb Shelter? This whole situation would be funny if it weren't actually true. I fear for the mental health of our Nation if things have come to this level of mendacity by even the alternative press. Who can we trust to report the truth when so many writers have become captive of political shenanigans for one reason or another? When do we know - real or fake??? Hm?


Charge a fee for each inquiry, and pay a moderate royalty to the person searched.


That event has always seemed dangerous to me as well. I've seen them running in traffic with their purple shirts on both Coburg and Gateway streets. I've seen several close calls. It's not safe and it's blocking traffic.

This editor has nothing to apologize for.  He is correct.  The trend of today's CanLit is boring , predictable, and blankets Canada and Canadians as bland.  The editor fell on his sword deferring to the curse of political correctness, and the likemindedness that this festers.  Sadly he succumbed to milquetoast weakness as he was likely pressured to do.


This is not funny.


Anchorage regulations state that Government Hill has to sign up for garbage service.  As a new resident of Government Hill I reluctantly did this, our past residence in Spenard did not have this regulation.  We took care of our garbage via transfer station and recycling.  Much more cost effective and did not have to pay for a service we rarely would use.  Anchorage waste did not offer any information regarding bear proof containers when contacted. I may have missed it but did not see it in their Web page.
It is a wasted cost for us to pay for garbage service pick up, have to worry about a can getting blown around or a bear related issue, and be charged for it if it goes missing.  Also to pay for this service when not able to use it due to frequent travel.
I understand that overall the good of the community is to have a quality garbage pickup, it would be nice to opt out, as long as one followed good practices with their garbage storage.
More options regarding garbage would be helpful.


Come on! Almost 900 pages at 150 bucks? This isn't an accessible book, it's a library resource. I know it's anathema (so to speak) to publishers, but this should have been accompanied by a companion volume in the 300 page range for public consumption.

Gotta say, though, it is a kind of kitchy rebuke to the Twitter era.


Not strange for the thinkers among us who understand that some of the countries are considered allies in one fashion or another. This also proves Trump is NOT the Islamophobe leftists make him out to be! Go Trump!


Christians ignore the Old Testament. They left it behind several centuries ago. Christians have had the Reformation and Enlightenment to drag them out of the primordial muck of antiquity. Muslims have had no such reformation.  Muslims continue to follow the Koran literally.


Spot in sir.


Both of those are the trump I know .... so sad.


I'm glad Obama is going to release the report before he leaves office. Trump will try to sweep under the rug any evidence of Russian interference in the election.


Is it not perfectly clear that it's to explore several levels of truth simultaneously, with great intelligence, wit and imagination? If you find her wit confusing or frightening, well, you can always skip her column.


Good, dear, good.

I'm waiting for the Internet not to be flooded with comments from paid oil industry funded denialists so people are free to talk without the usual suspects from the peanut gallery interrupting and censoring.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/aug/02/climate-change-to-cause-humid-heatwaves-that-will-kill-even-healthy-people


All of Trumps stated comments are planned that way to upset the criminal progressives who have turned out beloved country into a criminal, broke, 3rd world garbage dump where we must compete with scavengers from their foreign  cesspools who we own nothing.  Their highly vaunted cultish dream of peace, has given us not peace, but violence in all the cities and the country.  There is a lot of time for peace, because there is little good work.  There is no fantasy of love, just the progressive hate of you and me who are just normal Americans.  Diversity, Tolerance, and Inclusion are code for divide and conquer.


Again, you are just making yourself look bad now, ma'am. You have no proof, never have. You just regurgitate whatever you see on Facebook or Twitter. Surprise, surprise, those are not sources of information. They are the safe space for people such as yourself that like to think that they know something, but in reality are only validated by other like minded simpletons. No actual thinking is required, because in just 140 Characters or a picture with some words on it, you learn what you need to "know".


Mitchell, I think you missed the point.


You are correct. I believe there are many variables at play. There is certainly such a thing as mental illness but community and social context, isolation or cohesiveness etc. play a huge part also.
In Canadian big cities we have had tremendous cultural upheaval with heavy doses of social engineering. I don't believe it has been good for mental health in general. In short, community and societal context can help prevent or exacerbate mental health issues. Which is something they don't really address; as if people are just some in vitro specimen.


source?


I have an old friend who is positively brilliant on many fronts. One day he said to me, only half-jokingly, that the world is roughly divided into thirds: Hindus, Muslims and Christians. Between them, he went on, there is 100% agreement that two-thirds of the world is going to hell.

As Motley noted, his numbers are a bit off, but the message still holds.


Two words to explain why what she did crossed the line from parody to a threat against the POTUS:

James Foley


looks like you are the only one confused


Can you think of a better time to challenge the wealthy on their priorities.  A large audience and support from all Christians across the spectrum should be forthcoming


Notice how Ed's examples of his unfair elections are all right wing.  No mention of Trudeau and Notley getting elected with less than 40% of the vote.


You're speculating that nothing is wrong and that an audit is not needed.

I just hope people get jailed if fraud is conclusively found.


I'm not an O'Leary supporter, but her letter can only help him.

Maybe that her objective .


I am currently reading a book Foundations of Economics, A Beginners Companion, by Yanis Varoufakis

It is an economics text book which attempts to give a more balanced understanding of economics than the liberal neo classical one, which has been fashionable for some time now.
At the end he has a chapter, The curse of economics.

In it he begins with the following…
Economics can seriously damage your character! An experiment has been done as follows…

The experiment’s structure:

Two players are asked to choose between (1) acting ’aggressively’ and (2) acting ‘cooperatively’.
They choose simultaneously and without knowing who they are playing against.
They are told that their rewards will be determined as follows:
- If you play aggressively and your opponent co operates you get $10
- if both of you cooperate you get $5
- if both of you act aggressively you get $2
- if you cooperate when your opponent acts aggressively you get nothing.


It's their house...


Yes, the author of Matthew conceived of Jesus as the Second Moses, and this passage is consistent with that image.


So,
#1 Andrew Scheer purports to be a conservative
#2 Conservatives are strong believers in free speech.
#3 Andrew Scheer just came out against free speech on university campuses.
#4 Virtue signalling, identity politics, enviroNazi policies are not conservative values.

What balance does Scheer have to strike.?
Is he  conservative, that values free speech.
Or is he not a conservative, willing to throw free speech under the bus to pander to the fools that spend their time virtue signalling, playing identity politics, and killing all development in the guise of saving the world.


Notice the pattern; this always happens in organizations, where 99% of ppl are totally okay with something, then on person -- 1 single whiner! -- starts to complain.  Then, like a house of cards, everything needs to change.

I think we've all been in some kind office/church/institution/organization where there was that one person who just had to complain even though everyone else was fine.


Just substitute the word for any other minority for "rich", and you will see just how much like a hate-crime that this really is.
Just that now it's OK to hate people for being rich.
What a double-speaking woprld we live in.


"HRC and her mishandling of this has really given her a major problem I do not wish to get involved in, despite the best efforts of her team to drag me in."  Colin Powell, quoted in Politico.

“I didn't tell Hillary to have a private server at home, connected to the Clinton Foundation[.]  [T]wo contractors . . . took away 60,000 emails[;] she had her own domain.”  Colin Powell, quoted in Politico.

And yes, Hillary would be more competent . . . more competent, even, than Obama --- in taking this country where it should not go.  Trump is unsuited for the Presidency.  Clinton would be worse.  I, unlike you, don't have the hubris to call this anything other than my personal opinion.  But one thing is sure:  She will take this country where the Founders never envisioned us, and where no Catholic should feel comfortable.   Yes, yes, I know.  Of what relevance are the Founders anymore?  And some "Catholics" will feel very comfortable with her.


How were they taxed? It's not their money.


When Dems had the presidency, house and senate, they passed Obamacare.  When Reps had the presidency, hourse and senate, they can't pass Trumpcare.
What were you saying about disfunction?


This is a BIG if. Now, he VPSO found evidence stashed from robbery, he was watching the site where kids party, out of all village residents these 3 men came calling.  Humm.  Question. Did he catch them at spot where cigs were stashed. Hands on? As for one crying? If they are young, family may choke him. He is facing serious charges. Then again VPSO should have could known them or ask for names and birth, then let them go as he was told. Leave it to Superior. So what went wrong?


You are exactly correct.  The $38M discussed in this article is federal GRANT funds, fully eligible to subsidize the sale price of homes built to low income families.  The problem isn't money, it's dhhl, it's terrible leadership and a complete lack of understanding what these grant funds are for.


agree


doesnt sound like PATH is transitioning anyone. Homeless population increases monthly (as do unfilled entry level jobs - majority of the new homeless is able bodied people aged 20 to 35 wanting everything for nothing).
Where does all this money the government gives these programs go (im confidant that with the progressive leadership its not someones slush fund - buying ferraris and swimming pools)


Trump moves toward the middle.  Narcissistic capitulation to find new enablers.

Will this ultimately lead to his impeachment?  As he moves further and further left, do the Dems protect him?

In the coming days, he learns that his narcissistic needs in the short run (adulation) and long run (avoiding total ruin and isolation) fare better by appeasing Democrats.

He went to the edge of the abyss trying "meltdown".  Now he's moving to the left as his secondary survival instinct.

My view is that he was damned if he did, damned if he didn't.

VERY interesting times.


Notice that his 'net neutrality' discussion doesn't say what net neutrality is. I generally support Mr. Trump, but he's wrong to support ISPs that want to charge you based on *how you use* your bandwidth, vs simply *how much* bandwidth you use.


This article is borderline incoherent.  The 'Who' and 'Why' needs a healthy dose of journalism.


Ummm the Yazidis include men and boys, not just girls and women. Why are they talking about only women and girls being brought over? Are boys somehow disposable (we already know the answer to that concerning men)?


Big Oil, Nat Gas, Nuclear ... ALL PERFECTLY CLEAN IN BOTH EXTRACTION FROM THE NATURAL WORLD AND OUTPUT VIA ENERGY PRODUCTION ... love the red herrings you guys always fall back on, soooo easy to knock out of the park.  NEXT ...


Please count what kind of jobs are employing.  You will find a huge amount of people working for contract agencies because corporations have cut back and seldom hire full time employees.  Are they counting the illegals and foreign workers too on contract?  The contract agencies in turn give NO BENEFITS or at best poor benefits. No vacation time off paid, no 401K, No heath insurance that is affordable.   Yes, people are working but what for?  Certainly not a real job.


Never mind then ... I like cynical.


No other reason to work on the holiday.
