They don't know stef. They are repeating the MSM talking point. There is no tax cut. The plan actually removes the tax INCREASES that Odummycare had put in. But "tax cuts for the rich" is all you hear. Odummycare burdened the industry with regulations and tax hikes to the point where all the exchanges like the Hawaii Connector bailed before it could get started. Aetna was the latest casualty to end its coverage. For some reason the clueless seems to have forgotten that FACT. At least the Republicans are doing it out in the open,not like the Democrats, and the criticism is exactly what they need to hear. They need to keep going back until ALL parties are satisfied. It will be a long process, but something that needs to be done.


Do you laugh when you type, you should be


I'm not seeing where the authors used 'homohatred' in this article.  This is a perfect example of trying to shut down dialogue and divert comments to prove your own point that the authors are not requesting a conversation.  It is you who do not want a conversation on the topics of this article.


Fabulous. I hope  Alaskans will enjoy many hours in this handsome new wing. My personal dream is to help Ms. Decker bring over to the state Emily Carr's collection from  Vancouver since her vision of Southeast is so close to our own.


And WHY is the Toronto elite PC crowd so forgiving of this nonsense? Where are the 200+ comments condemning this arrest and vilifying this as a cultural misogynistic action?


Eight great years ahead.Thank you President Trump.


More Agenda 21 programming. The Globalists want to tax Canadians for our water and steal the rest.


There was a bill introduced last legislative session to create the "Alaska State Bank" as a public corporation of the state.

The Monarchy combines government and private as one as the key component of empire.  The government anoints and provides the military forces to aid the private financiers to loot the resources throughout the world, ergo, The British Empire upon which the Sun never set.  Continues to this day as the British Monarchy aided and abetted by U.S. military continues to serve the financial interests of global capitalism predominately the Oil Monopoly.  The British conquered the Middle East and its oil resources until after WWII when the empire ceded the responsibility to the U.S.  They just rake in the profits without the military expenses.  The only thing stopping the British from conquest of the Arctic in total was the natural forces of ice and cold.


"Don't jump off the cliff" is blackmail?


Trump's supporters keep saying they 'voted for change'.

They seem to have mistaken chaos for "change".

Sad.


IRT "Time to protect reef wildlife ... "  It is past time.  The ocean needs all of the help it can get!  I have personally contributed to the unacceptable depletion of near shore waters and now try to help as best i can.


Thank you for your positive review. I fear, however, it does not no justice to the quality of the performance. Jennifer Martin should be showered with praise for her ability, as Associate Director and Ballet Mistress, to support performances in the roles of Giselle and Albrecht that were beyond stunning. Both dancers were exquisite representations of the finest in classical ballet. The last time I saw Giselle was many, many years ago with American Ballet Theatre, possibly the premier American company. This performances was certainly as good, and may have been better. Eugene Ballet has often been in the forefront for quality of regional ballet. This performance was no exception and deserves the highest possible praise.


Totally Agree with Ursus F! The two coffin assault guys never left a mark on their "victim"! They threatened and scared him because they caught him trying to commit a crime of cable theft!! If you compare the cases, this minister should then get Twenty years jail time for assaulting three woman!!! SA law is racially biased!!


Don't YOU?


(Part two-a of two)  “Our soul waits for the LORD, who is our help and our shield.  May your kindness, O LORD, be upon s who have put our hope in you” Psalm 33 ;20 and 22) and not in Republican dominated health care proposals.  Or as Genesis 12:9 intimates, “then Abram journeyed on by stages to the Negeb.”  What is scary for freedom of religion here is that “Abram . . . took . . . the persons they had acquired in Haran” (Genesis 12:5).  The reason that is scary is some will use that to deny freedom of religion.  The Word requires interpretation by the Faithful as circumstances change from era to era.  That is why Hebrews reports, “The word of God is living and effective” (Hebrews 4:12), meaning love changes as times change.  “Remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye” (Matthew 7:5).


I'm not going to look up the facts and spoon feed them to you. "The Looming Tower" by Lawrence Wright is also a good source. What are yours?


Finally some common sense. Now if Quebec could take a lesson from it, we may end up with a much more united nation.


Tell me they're not going to give this "feminine hygiene product" his gun back, or allow him to possess anything larger than a slingshot!


Of course we've had terrorism here and linked to el Queda but they have nothing to do with the MOA right? As for your pointing out Dumboski's "Why were we the only ones pointing this out" I just found this comment at a national news blog called Talking Points Memo where they have picked up the story. Amy makes the big time with her racist, bigotry:

"“How is it a candidate pops up in the last Alaskan election, who is a member of this group, and we are the only ones who even mentioned it (or asked him about it) here in Alaska?”"

Pretty much says it all right there, doesn't it? read it again. And again. One more time. Catching on yet?

"Everyone thinks I'm fu$%^g crazy and delusional, but that just proves I'm really the only sane one who's figured it all out."

This s%^t is right out of Catcher in the Rye or something. "Phonies!"


Obscure  television  news anchors  like the  Global morning anchor, yesterday morning,  are sneering at President Trump, arrogating onto themselves the same fictional power that our pretentious Prime Minister believes he yields over world opinion.


Similar article, the one I am thinking of was from a few years back.  It pointed out that the original cleanup required digging up something like 6 or 8 feet of dirt from the entire site and the final product was more like an inch or two.  There was more to it than that, and to a degree it seemed like Westword had an axe to grind, so I was unsure how much to believe.


You really should see someone about your anger, its ruining your life, not that that is a bad thing in your case.


remember when you said there were no meetings? the rug just keeps getting pulled and yet you will deflect, distort and distract to protect a guy who cares nothing about you. bless your heart.


wynne 2.0,, say you consulted then just report what you want in the first place. oh btw, another broken promise!


Couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag.  My sides hurt from laughing.


I humbly suggest that the legislature address the budget gap and create a long-term sustainable fiscal plan, before worrying about sex education in public schools. That is a subject better handled at the school district level.


http://dailycaller.com/2017/07/27/irs-continues-to-hire-employees-with-performance-problems/

"The Internal Revenue Service continues to hire employees with conduct and performance problems, despite the agency’s pledge to improve hiring practices."

Will our august Congressional delegation have comments on the hiring/firing of IRS employees?  Or do their comments only encompass this issue?


Bro. Abbott,

When I was a child the Conference assigned pastors to churches and the church had little or no say in who they got. Sometimes we got someone who was a good match for the congregation and sometimes we didn't when when we didn't, that was a big reason why pastors got moved every two or three years. But where I am today, the conference leadership puts considerable effort into trying to understand the needs and goals of the church before picking someone who will be a good match and leaves them there for the long-term. It works very well.


Says you and a bunch of leftist sources.


Indeed. I actually do pay for the news I get from sources that I consider to be worthwhile, including the RG.


THEN LEAVE!


I think Sen Ron Johnson need to examine his brain...neurons not seem to be connecting properly.


I don't need to "sound" cool. I expect adults to understand commonly used acronyms.


voting against hillary had ZERO to do with her being a woman.....but it always is a handy convenient excuse.
Interesting and telling you care deeply about your country but not about our country.  As they say....words mean things


It goes to Irving in NB, which is no where near where the whales are dying in the Gulf.


"House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., pauses as he announces that he is pulling the troubled Republican health care overhaul bill off the House floor, short of votes and eager to avoid a humiliating defeat for President Donald Trump and GOP leaders, at the Capitol in Washington, Friday, March 24, 2017. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)"  Motley: Here's the AP caption to the photo of Ryan announcing the withdrawal of the AHCA bill.  Take a look at Mr. Ryan.  Read the account or any of the thousands of accounts on various sites.  You will note that "humiliating" is an adjective frequently used in them to describe the defeat.....I would suggest it's an apt adjective.  Were you upset when papers described Hillary Clinton's defeat as a "bitter defeat" or a "crushing defeat"?  I wasn't....those were accurate descriptions.

Mr. Ryan and Mr. Trump did, indeed, incur a humiliating defeat.  They both boasted of a "sure" victory and, then, didn't deliver.  That's the essence of humiliating.   Regards


Wow, 2-2 against a hapless braves team.  This is why they are not contenders this year.  Maybe they will become contenders next year but they still have not learned how to take advantage of an opponent.  17-3 was great until it was followed up by this.  Now that game and the opener they won are all but irrelevant.


No knock on Millsap, but he's 32. Whatever contract he gets is going to be an awful monkey two years from now. I'd rather they didn't splash on a guy like him.
I doubt they could get Porzingis without taking some scrub like Melo in return, or giving up a host of picks. But it'd be a heckova duo if they could swing it.


Denali Federal Credit Union let me put a block on my debit account so that an over-draft will not be approved. I never have to worry about over-draft fees, just passing on whatever I can't afford at the moment. Their credit card gives me "emergency funds" in case of some unpredictable event.


It may surprise you to know that all those contracted foreign crew are working on US owned longliners, owned by US citizens, who pay US and Hawaii taxes, and sell fish to Hawaii and mainland markets and restaurants. By law, foreign vessels and fishermen cannot fish in US waters unless they have a foreign fishing permit. And, none have been issued.


Hey, guess what Toucan Sam, Carey Price is available, or going to be.


Have heard about logic.  If you price oil, nat gas, etc. above what the world will pay, they simply will buy it from someone else.   Your comment makes absolutely no sense.


This article shows a milestone in a special policy adopted in 80s , which recently started gaining more and more momentum. It started with TV shows, movies, books, reality shows, where men are depicted and irresponsible, selfish, childish persons. Look at pretty much every TV commercial,  how goofy husbands are, and  how balanced, smart, intelligent the wives are.  This propaganda got into people's minds. Both men and women  took these ideas as the truth about the reality.  People internalize ideas they perceive to be true.

This article very precisely shows where we are with implementing this policy.   I would call it SUCCESS. Society is degraded. Congratulations political strategists.

This is a good example on how people's perceptions can be manipulated and how targeted moral values be imposed on people.


I dislike the idea of a Netflix tax to fund Canadian content. My concern is that it would become a slush fund for make-work projects for bad Canadian actors , directors and writers. Canada has such a long record of producing junk. True, Canada has produced a bit of good TV but few good movies. Sadly, the good is hugely underproportionate to the bad. Quebec is producing good directors. Let's learn from them.


For certain people (I call them democrats), who want to be save the world with my money, the answer is always more taxes and spending.  Just once we should think about spending less, doing less, and heavens forbid, let people be responsible for themselves more. But these are smarter than the average folk (just ask them) and they know better how to spend my money than me.  Well guess what, KMA.


They have colleges in Kentucky? Well whadda ya know. I had no idea. I thought the place was just kindly old men with white goatees, fried chicken, and marrying ones sister.


Well no surprise that principal is a nut job.  DPS has additional nut jobs in management that David S. and Tommy B. ignore.  Hopefully Tommy B. takes the same approach when reviewing survey feedback.


Blah Blah Blah...we have only been hearing this nonsense for nearly 5 decades and what has been the result...no one is under water..First we were going to freeze to death now we're all going to drown because of rising sea level due to non existent "climate change"..which is it?


Thanks for,the misleading posts. Not one of them talk abut an abortion fifteen minutes prior to birth.
Scrambled back at you!


Spoken like a true blue blind cowardly snowflake....psh...


Vectum....LoL!!!

Always trolling rail fail stories.... are you Krooky incognito???


Um you realize that everyone living on the peninsula  rely on that road.  Its more important to Homer and Seward than the haul road is to Deadhorse.


Careful, victimitis - your 'classiness' is showing...


@Rick Tubania:  You say that rail is constructed primarily to help the lower income people, but does anyone know how much it will actually cost to ride the rail?  A bus pass on a monthly basis is a pretty good deal at $60.  Most of us know that the bus is heavily subsidized.  Also, most of us know that riding rail and taking 1-2 transfer bus(es) will definitely cost more than $60, but we have no idea how much more.  Do you think poor people can afford $100 or $120 a month instead of the $60 they pay now?  For some of the working poor, that $40-60 is the difference between having 2 vs 3 square meals a day or even 1 vs 2 square meals a day.  My point is rail doesn't make sense if those that need it the most can't even afford to ride it.  So my question to you Rick is what happens if those that need rail the most can't even afford to ride it because it's too expensive?


Yes.  Some have returned since, but that doesn't have a great overall impact on the diversity.


How is eliminating and all freedom a "plan"?


You obviously haven't been paying much attention to anything I've written on these boards. I'm a life-long, proud, un-reconstructed DEMOCRAT who has never voted for a Republican in my entire life.


TROLL


Possibly writing about when the road was constructed. Before that, it was railroad track and speeders were used when the train was not operating.


This certainly exposes the radical animal rights activists for what they are:  hypocritical bullies.   Sad to see news media like the Seattle Times and Register Guard backing their agenda, when it includes threats of violence against anyone who disagrees with their extremist viewpoints.


Nobody in their right mind would invest in Russia. It's economy is in a downward spiral, unemployment skyrocketing, inflation in double digits, and investment dried up. Those are only the economic problems, not to mention social issues (crime, drugs, alcoholism, etc.). There is also no rule of law and Putin is a brutal dictator who steals and murders and feels his right to attack other countries. There are no positive prospects for the country. This story looks like a plant by the Russia propaganda machine.


Aspirin. Hold it between the knees.


Is there any falsehood that could be uttered about the Trumps that would be materially worse than the reality?


Live within your means. IF you want to live in LoDo, be prepared for higher housing costs.  Duh.


This article reminds me of an old saying: There are Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics.

I just watched a news story on KTUU last night showing property crimes going UP through 2016. It was a study conducted in Anchorage and was accompanying a news story about a local business having been burglarized for the third time since it opened in middle 2016.

I've watched shoplifting explode at my work over the last year. We now have shoplifters openly taunting our employees as they walk out the door with a backpack full of stolen goods, knowing we aren't allowed to stop them or search them, even if someone saw them put items in their bag.

As for such as car theft, up until late last year I'd never met anyone who'd had their car stolen. in the last 3 months, 2 car thefts happened to people I know, and the 2nd car was last seen headed out of Eagle River going north. Friends who have lived here over 50 years say they suspect a chopshop operating in the valley.

The books ARE cooked, akstarzec.


You're missing the point; Kesey's celebrated for his fine novels, not his drug use.

Wall Street runs the country alright, into the ditch. They should be busted for driving the economy while intoxicated, which is lethal. There's no reason to honor that. Nobody was prosecuted for wrecking the economy in 2008. That's more than enough "honor."

And there's nothing contradictory about conservatives advocating legalization: if you are opposed to government interference in people's personal lives--which is a prime conservative position--then support for legalization is perfectly consistent with conservative values.


Motley, Did you spend time in China? I am impressed you know the phrase "iron rice bowl"


Just so you know "Pocahontas" is what Trump called that liar (and you know which liar) that went to school on an "Indian" grant, when she was 100% white .Talk about your cultural appropriation.


I don't understand how very intelligent people fail to reconcile Europe's experience with immigration and cultural segregation over the last 15 years. Is it a secret? Do we live in a bubble? Europe's laissez-faire attitude and political impotence in the face of growing societal division has empowered aspiring demagogues and left many countries on the verge of massive social unrest - it's not secret that certain cultures are hostile to liberal secular values - Trump's ham-fisted approach will most likely be ineffective in regards to national security but it's clear, based on Europe's experience, that stronger immigration controls aren't necessarily a bad thing. Certain cultures are fundamentally incompatible with freedom of expression (including religious satire), gender equality, and freedom of sexual orientation - these regressive traits are a threat to liberal secular societies - Germany recently introduced gender-segregated swim times, how "progressive"....


A fine piece from Canada's laziest armchair moralizer.

What could be a thoughtful assessment of identity politics turns into Wente's usual polemic about fringe groups ruining her vision of a just society.

Apart from a massive oversimplification (and biased reading) of what Marxisim and poststructuralism teach, the idea that subversive elements have 'infected' academic and social terrain is more J. Edgar Hoover than a Liberal defence of freedom of expression.

Let's also consider that her facile logic, scapegoating and small-minded rhetoric bears plenty in common with the words and convictions of actual extremists. I'd appreciate [any] facts behind the statements:

"He’s a white man, and therefore guilty."
"the steady rise of authoritarian [?] illiberalism on the left"
"power positions have been taken over by the radicals [?]"

Margaret's alarmism and condescension betray a lack of respect for difference of opinion, however wrong. We need more of that respect, not less.


This site IS NOT some legal forum. At the very least it should portray some sense of responsibility for WRONGS committed, and continue to be committed, by a large and wealthy organization that denies those they abused with the cover ups.

The cover ups are the worst crimes, worse than the abuse itself. The cover ups denied the child help. Many children are traumatized throughout life, however they heal quickly as adults help them cope. Even the worst trauma you could imagine will lead to a child to a normal life, if the child is helped early..

However, without the help, a child is left with a traumatized life with zero coping. A child left to cope alone is at the greatest risk to mental health and ultimate suicide. That's years of torture and ultimate murder.

Then again, we have people here who praise the church and bash SNAP. Yet SNAP actually helps the victims while the church denies the victim through its successful lobby efforts.


You don't arrest a movement...you shoot a movement.


Changing the rail from an elevated guideway (hereinafter EG) to a ground level design is not a viable option because it has many issues Mr. Wilson ignores.
To date, there are 10.8 mi of completed EG, from E. Kapolei to Aloha Stadium.  There is a 43-acre maintenance and storage facility completed & intended to support driverless trains running on the EG.
The EG rail system is designed with a third rail which provides power to the train.  This design cannot be used at ground level because of the danger to the public.  To construct the remaining rail at ground level, the entire train system would require a redesign (add cost & delays).  The 10.8 mi of third rail on the EG would be wasted.
The MSF facility has a control center to operate the automated trains intended to travel on the EG.  However, driverless trains cannot be used to traveling at ground level & deal with cross traffic.
The train contract would require a change order (add cost & delays) to redesign the trains & oper. system.


The tragedy is that many homeless youth are forced into prostitution in order to survive. The public doesn't seem to get indignant about that, they just don't want to see these kids in public places.

The people at the top of this corrupt organization sell off their stocks prior to the release of the information and they get away with it because politicians who don't believe in regulations allow and promote this type of activity or they would change it. If my personal information is used illegally, I will hunt down Equifax and make it very personal.


Interesting story. My dog eats poop on occasion.....I don't think I will use his palate to decide my food choices. But you can be different and that's ok :-)


Because it was levied against immigrants from developed western civilizations presumably because by being successful, they seemed threatening and untouchable with their superior spirits, culture,  and can-do attitudes to the nativist figuratively or literally inbred KKK sort who sought some evil way to take control, divide proud people and traditions of progress, and instead to tilt the civil playing field until it was a preposterously unfair enslaving mess of an artless framework of degradement, one that unduly targeted people for the 'crime' of participating in millennia of honored human culture and tradition.

It was all sold falsely in faux-moralistic terms, kind of like Nixon's sociopolitical war on minorities, liberals, and folks sympathetic to the expansion of minds and spirits. What, did these worthless dangerous wicked arrogantly good-contempting fascists think we were born yesterday or something?


My favorite thing about comments from all over the world?  It validates that not only Americans think they are smarter than they are, but people of all nations suffer the same egotism.  My favorite thing about the comments themselves?  Each individual thinks they are smarter than the person to whom they are responding. It truly is a farcical dalliance.


Measure Trump S&P to Obama record S&P first week.

"The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq took similar hits, dropping 5.3 and 5.8 percent, respectively, and fourth quarter earnings reports were on track to drop more than 20 percent over the previous year's figures. "


In Kentucky, you should probably ask for Latinos before Asians.


What an immaculate example of baseless inductive reasoning.

However, don't you know that "no" is exactly what a guilty person would say as well?

Sounds like someone just confessed to every any and all accusations against them ever. Sorry, no responses. That's double secret guilt.


The bigger question here is why was a 12 year old with special needs, out walking by himself?


Again, LOL.

Quantity is not the same as quality. Guess you  weren't aware that due the growth stunting effects of repeated famines during the 90s, the DPRK military had to lower their army's height requirements to less than 5 feet, basically leaving Lil Kim's with an army of munchkins.

Just how hard do you think Kim's slave army will fight when they're confronted with the much better equipped, taller, and very healthy South Korean troops (much less 6'-4'' corn-fed US Marines) after the South Korean and US air forces have complete air superiority in hours?

Only a DPRK shill could even remotely suggest parity between the DPRK and the US military. BTW. how's the weather in Pyongyang today?


Nothing worse than immoral science, except maybe scientific immorality.


What in the world does this comment mean?  Pl translate


It's literally where the diversity is.  Not a value judgment.  Fact.  Do you hate facts?


Traverse, Acadia, Enclave, all at least worth considering - more room, tow package, perhaps, Bose audio, way more value than any LR.  Same for the Explorer. Maybe the Globe could also mention whatever is made in Canada in such reviews.


The Mayor is putting bike lanes EVERYWHERE.  No more cars for his Honolulu.


What?! They decided to put aside their differences and move on! Oh for god's sake, it's like adults are running the show.


Chill spiderwoman13...and while you do, give us your definition of "due process."  I'd be interested.


I met Steve when he came to visit my babysitter once... Jenny Osterhout.  I had no idea who he was (I was a little kid at the time) but her brother sure made a loud announcement... "Steve Prefontaine  is here!  Steve Prefontaine is here!"  Jenny was a beautiful girl and could have become his wife, had it not been for.....


So BCers will get a choice, unlike Ontario.

Tgowdy, Lela Markham..actually an act of the Congress representing all.  "Feds" of course are only those carrying out the intent of legislation passed by the peoples' Congress.


Those Republicans need to be put on  hot bubble for setting on their duffs, over last   30 year, and kicking cans down the road, for the next  candidate to answer for.   Started with Ted Kennedy having much, too much, influence  on Republicans,  and issues  then, have morphed into real monsters now.     And  can is now too bent, to be kicked again.   Has to be solved, and too many  in both parties don't have a clue.


If everybody was wearing a seatbelt, how did one person get ejected?


As long as Rupert continues to operate his influence, our country will never get to see true welfare as he knows very well to control the trickle-down economy.


Good.  How many more court decisions will he have to win before people realize he's innocent?


You just made an excellent argument for veganism.  Maybe the woman in your story should quit eating meat, quit supporting the killing animals for that purpose and have the respect for animals and their babies that every mother deserves. What about those people who recently ate bacteria-riddled walrus meat, or the oysters that are killing people?  Mad cow disease, swine flu?  Chemicals in the water, air and ground (environmental pollutants) I could go on, but you get my drift. What about babies born addicted and/abused by their parents, suffering chronic problems and/or dying. Lots of those.

I've been around numerous cats my entire life - including so-called feral cats - and never once had a problem. Nor do I know anyone else who has, except perhaps those monsters who think dogs and cats make a good meal.


You're being sarcastic, right


Yup.

Keep intramural sports for which students pay tuition.

Any self-sustaining sports can stay.  Any sports needing heavy subsidization from the university system need to go. End of story.

And no more sports scholarships to out-of-state (or country) students.


Proposition 1 isn't intended to change anybody's actual behavior.  It's a mere culture war reflex by the usual suspects.


i didn't go there motley, but  i thought the exact same thing.  does that not scare the bejesus out of you?  it does me....    but many ways to say it came to mind and having kids, verbally creative kids who are competetive,  the possibilities are endless.


The Trump has NEVER had "our best interests at heart".

He just barely managed to hoodwink enough gullible voters into believing that he will do something positive for this country, but don't plan on them being able to figure that out very quickly.

"Trudeau cabinet shuffle about protecting crucial U.S., China relations"

In spite of currently being married to a person of Asian heritage, John McCallum is the wrong person to be our representative in China where "face" counts oodles.


What?  Hygge is just a subset of your identity politics religion, and yet you condemn it?  I condemn the postmodernist/anti-enlightenment thinking that has led to identity politics, hygge etc.


How much does the Canadian Tire golf club women get?


You're sick.


Take away their hunting licenses and make them drive the 5 miles to Safeway.


Not sure what is in the emails but, I'm thinking why would the FBI announce something like this unless there is something going on. I also believe we need to wait and see what is actually on the server before we condemn.


If you opt to not have the government intrude into your life and require health insurance, do medical providers have the right to tell you cash upfront for any and all services? If you are diagnosed with a major illness do insurance companies have the right to tell you no insurance until you are 100% done with the treatment/cure and you will not be covered for that illness again when you then attempt to get insurance?


Yes, now look up the definition of irony.


"Coghill described the commission's effort to block discrimination based on gender identify and sexual orientation as a "moral position" that should be debated in the Legislature."

No, no, no Coghill...I don't want you or anyone else using the power of government to jam your personal morals down the rest of our throats. If you want to personally discriminate against LGBTQ Alaskans, that's your business (though I find that reprehensible) but keep your personal "morals' to yourself.


Get rid of the Jones Act already! Enough of this Somalian high seas style robbery!!! It costs more to ship from the mainland to HI than from the mainland to first world countries like Japan or the UK, both of which are double the actual distance from the mainland than HI. It's no wonder no one from the mainland wants to deal with shipping anything to us and we have to pay through the nose for basic supplies!


Good gravy--

You can stop with the straw men already.

Obviously the Church grows and develops.  Obviously the Church changes.  Some things, however are not changeable. In other words--just because some things have changed, does not entail everything can change.


The Speculators expected tax cuts.  It is leveling because they realize this POTUS is not getting them passed soon.  Speculation is not growth.

Somewhere around 1/3 of all that Canadians consume is imported, from refined hydrocarbons to food products to medicine to building materials  etc.  Almost all of it is priced in US$ at the transaction level. A weakening dollar represents an erosion in real income for all Canadians. A weak $CDN means Canadian manufacturing companies cannot import vital components and equipment to improve productivity in their processes. So, a low loonie simply disguises declining productivity leading to a crushing of competitiveness even while their export product attractiveness improves as the dollar falls. This is a road to nowhere.

As for oil prices, the $CDN value for better or worse is intimately linked to the price of oil, even though petroleum industry is only about 9% of GDP.   There is a strong correlation between oil price and $CDN.  The main reason the $CDN is not below $0.70 is from oil being above $50.00.  That and Trump being a nut makes the $CDN a hedge.


Your ignorance is palpable.  Fights for freedom in WW1 and WW2 have NOTHING to do with the mistreatment of First Nations people in Canada.  These arguments are embarrassingly stupid.  Any endorsement for a "just war" would include something like ending racist ethnic cleansing *similar to what both Hitler did to Jews AND past Canadian Crown governments and their colonizing white settlers did to First Nations ... you know as in genocides during the Colonialist settler days in Canada! Try reading a history book you privileged white superiority, white massacre apologist !


Can anyone blame NKorea for developing missile/nuclear technology in face of such aggressive bullying?  It's a matter of survival and the only means of deterrent.


Funny that they should dare brazenly mention an "unconstitutional exercise of authority by the executive branch." The irony is strong with this one.  What will do they when they discover that their wrongful illiberal anti-democratic fever dreams of power are illegitimate and that they always lacked The People's consent to rule much less abuse Federal government structures to culpably attempt to subvert our democracy, lives, and our destinies to their depraved evil illiberal anti-democratic anti-humanist regressive sociopathic-theocratic pathological ideologies. These subhuman clown-beasts dance and gyre disturbingly. They fart and belch our their raucous sounds of contempt for all that is decent, true, holy, progressive, or good, and we are not amused.


what do you mean
The 10,000 scientist who say climate change is the biggest tax scam of the 10th century

that group?


Well from the article it says the borough pays more for it's own operations than it does for schools.  That seems rather odd.


Right, just as the Vietnamese retaliated on Christians attacking Buddhists by sending Buddhists suicide bombers on American soil...only fair!


Except this charge is so out to lunch, its pathetic.  The Donald should keep his mouth shut as just garbage comes out of it.


Think back! The toilets were in separate "rooms", not stalls open at the top and bottom. Big difference.


I would never make light of alcoholism in the priesthood, which is, as you say, a very real problem, just as I wouldn't make light of the very real dangers of drug abuse.

The issue is the double standard that says recreational alcohol is fine but recreational marijuana isn't. The only difference, as far as I can tell, is that alcohol is an acceptable part of our culture -- especially within Catholicism -- and pot isn't. When abused, both substances can be destructive.

If the bishops want to teach about the virtues of moderation and temperance, I fully support them. But when they stray into trying to influence public policy on marijuana while fostering a culture of recreational use of alcohol, they lose me.


Why would you attempt to try to defend the indefensible then (and failing miserably, I might add)? I'm talking to anyone who is trying to pretend that donald is normal, socially acceptable and competent! He says stupid things, literally, every day, and you don't need a transcript to know this! The media is not "fake," they are simply doing their job, and that is to cover the laughingstock of the world. I can't help it if the must gullible amongst us insist that he's always right. They have lost their minds. And no, I haven't judged anyone. I'm simply pointing out the obvious - donald doesn't need folk to defend him. He's wrong. All of the time.


Trevor is playing great and it's awesome to see him get the recognition he deserves.

However, the MVP so far of this very young season is Mike McCoy.


So! Why isn't everyone making a big deal about this like EVERYONE did when Jimmy got ran over by the truck??!! I don't see any videos from the hearing, I don't see a #justice for this lady, I don't see anyone doing a gofundme account for those children! So,  killing a women in front of children Is okay now! But killing a man at his birthday party on river (which I know they were under age drinking) is okay?


Harper brought in useless tax credits for wealthy Canadians buying their votes. The Liberals will lose these votes,so you should be happy.


Don't tell the Demo rats! Let them keep running him!


America rewards its government officials and top business executives for poor performance with everything ranging from a 5% annual pay raise to golden parachutes worth millions and even billions of dollars.

Japan, by comparison, has a long tradition of honor and so poor performance by its leaders can result in the resignation of the CEO, top management and board of directors or the Prime Minister and his entire cabinet.

The glaring difference between these two societies is that one has a deep-rooted sense of honor, duty and personal responsibility and accountability for one's actions,

can you guess which of these two nations lacks a deep-rooted sense honor, duty and personal responsibility and accountability for one's actions ?

here's a hint: ITS AMERICA ! ! !

There's a saying in pidgin which is apropos in this situation, "auwe ! da buggah no mo' shame !"

#noPayRaiseForPoorPerformance !


If such a lawsuit had merit, it would not be necessary to crowd-fund the lawsuit. I don't agree with the SPLC that Nawaz belongs on its list, but the facts it includes on its extremists page are recitations of claims made in any number of publications and are also found on his Wikipedia page. Their opinions are protected by the First Amendment. To me, crowdfunding a lawsuit comes across as a grift -- which, it would seem, would be counterproductive to Nawaz's stated goals.

Is Maher, a man who holds himself out as a defender of free speech, a guy who has himself been the subject of frivolous litigation, a guy who magnifies every instance of campus speech intolerance, no matter how extreme the speaker, as an opportunity to lecture liberals, really on board with this lawsuit?


Like Jesus's Life, every human life is an iteration, a 'sending forth' (missa) of life; in Jesus' Words we too are instructed "as I have done, you also must do".
The sacrificial aspect of every life is a commemorative necessity of Eucharistic participation enabling the vital spectrum of life on Earth in transformation, in transition.
Our individual lives are transformational events of Eucharist, iteratively commemorating and re-enacting the unity spectrum of life inside the Naturalis Sacramentum Ordinis - the Words of Jesus re-echo conscionably and inclusively in self-reflective consciousness.
The Mass, in its last words of commission, speaks to us personally about our own lives, "Ite, Missa est". We are "missa".
Individually and personally we are included and commissioned in Eucharist. It's what every second of our existence is about! Inclusion allows for no isolationist rhetoric, as in the arrogant dominion cult of male pretense. Mother Earth is inclusive of all life.
ITE! MISSA EST!


A normal corporate CEO would have been fired by the Board of Directors long ago.

Trump has no business acumen beyond just being the owner of his own inherited family biz. There is -- literally -- no one to say "you're fired."

(Indeed, the circus of mismanagement and dysfunction we see now explains exactly why Trump repeatedly failed .... at running a casino -- where the odds are always in the house's favor!!)


More likely, we'll see increases on taxes for working women to pay for the children of non-working women.


We are waiting Mike. It's almost 5:00pm in DC. Still nothing Mike.

Trump can't fight the women because if he tries taking them to court there will be all kinds of discovery and we will all find out even more about the Orangeman.


Special Counselor Mueller is  putting the squeeze on Gen Flynn.   He is squealing like a pig, and that's what I was told from reliable sources.  Don't mess with the G-men @ Squiggy VeryFakeNews......aloha and mahalo


Sometimes I wish I was back in 6-12 school. I would be pushing teachers' and administrators' buttons as hard as I could vis à vis constitutional rights.
As an atheist I hate the John Bircher inspired "under god" part.

It took two years and many Freedom Of Information requests to get the numbers so don't whine because they don't fit your anti-woman prejudices.


And just to keep development affordable, the President killed an Obama era regulation that said when we rebuild Houston (or any storm damaged area) we do not have to worry about doing anything to try and prevent damage in the future.  Lets just rebuild to the old standard so we can rebuild it again and again and again just as long as development does have to pay for any preventative measures.


"As you begin to understand the immense impact of this unprecedented political victory in your nation, please understand that the conscience of your country was touched and moved by heavenly grace. If the results had been reversed, poor and compromised judgment would have led this nation into its demise. So, once again, I come to thank each one for accepting the grace of recognizing good over evil. We can move forward now together on the same path of victory. Human rights from conception to natural death will be championed. ISIS will be identified and confronted. Your Supreme Court will return to a God-given orientation. Much more will be accomplished which has been torn apart by far left political support." AMEN!!!


Although already noted it needs to be reiterated. There is no such Bill or Act, it is a simple resolution by Parliament with no legal impact. It has no relationship to hearings or investigation by the federal or provincial Human Right Commissions. Saying it is so doesn't change those facts. People really need to learn how legislation is enacted.

" it's not the place of government to engineer people's lives and decisions "

ALL government's engineer people's lives; That is the point of Government.

Thaler's point is that IF you decide a problem needs to be addressed, you should structure the process to best achieve the result, simply throwing money or building bureaucratic rule often doesn't work.


As a retired,  former TD employee I am saddened by these reports.  Didn't happen under Charlie Bailey or Ed Clark.  There press release response is totally inadequate and tone deaf.  I sold all of my TD stock this morning and I am researching moving my investments,  wife's RRSP, our TFSA's,  Lines of Credit, Credit Cards, etc. to Meridian Credit Union.  Sounds too much like Wells Fargo to me.  Good bye,  Bharat.


Pools are much more densely used by waste producers - humans in the case of pools - than lakes are by fish and animals.

As for toxic waste, pick a clean lake and it won't be there in any dangerous quantity.

"One examination of data from the Clery Act, which compiles information about crimes committed on or near college campuses, found that in Utah and Colorado crime rates actually increased in each state after campus carry was enacted. The study shows that, since carry legislation passed in Colorado, the rate of forcible rape increased by 25 percent in 2012 and 36 percent in 2013. In Utah, campus rape increased nearly 50 percent between 2012 and 2013. By contrast, sexual assaults nationwide have been decreasing each year by approximately 3 percent. To be sure, this data doesn’t prove that allowing guns at universities and colleges in Utah and Colorado caused those crime increases. But it does refute the idea that more good guys and gals with guns are deterring sexual criminals on campus."


Stephen Paul'o you got it!  Sumed it up for me!


If the money I work hard for to support my my family is taken from me and given to someone else I have every right to worry about where and what it is spent on. My money was used to purchase this building so I am concerned and rightly so. They are doing, as you say, a decent job because money is taken from me and paying them to do the job. Can I use the building I paid for to have a non native elder lunch or a graduation party? The building is not theirs really, it belongs to the American Working People.


Did Clinton or Obama fake a foot injury four times to get deferments from the draft? Trump can't even remember which foot it was. Clinton was busy being a Rhode Scholar across the Atlantic and Obama was not old enough to be drafted.
Trump claims he loves the military & vets unless they are POW's that got caught (McCain) or a gold star family that doesn't agree with his views (Khan family). And most do all if it's his time to serve his country during time of war and have Daddy find a Dr to fake his bone spur claims.
What a sorry excuse of a leader....


Seems the two Asian actors wanted better pay parity to the two Caucasian stars.  They could not reach a deal and now they are leaving.  Sad, on several accounts, the show won't be the same.  The question is, will it remain as good?  If not CBS management lost on this if the show’s ratings tank.


Wow!  Nice comment Gerald.


Very poorly coached team.


Geez, did he pee himself as well?


The photo tells us more than this calf is destined for your dinner plate disguised as a veal cutlet in the very near future it also points out don't get hung up on articles in the Toronto Globe and Mail. Not only did the journalist confuse what the picture represented but the editor too. Ignorance ( not malicious ) on display :-)


“I don’t have any equipment in here that I would say is drawing a lot of power.”

Well, not exactly.  He is running a lot of refrigeration equipment which is very motor intensive.  Look at his bill to find a power factor of 82%.  Hydro will hit you hard for that.


I haven't checked lately, but I think there is relatively little about the shenanigans of P9 at V1 written in English. Hans Kung wrote the forward to an excellent book on the sad history that got translated into English from German, but that book was not the author's primary work on the topic. The primary work is still only available in German.

I nurse the fond but faint hope that one day in a century or two, V1 might be recognized as illegitimate on the premise that that council was not "free." The freedom of a council is a moving concept through the millennia. One expert on the councils compares V1 relative freedom with that of Trent, and V1 just doesn't measure up.


My sincere condolences to the friends and family of this young lady.


I will continue to call him "Trump", he doesn't deserve any respect. In private his name will be prefaced with an epithet not allowed by Globe posting rules.


No, Elizabeth, all the major, national news outlets do polling work, to inform themselves and the public. We're talking NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox News, CNN, Bloomberg, Reuters, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, everyone. And no, they don't just survey their viewers! The work is done by reputable polling companies, and whether you choose to believe it or not, is hardly ever slanted per the conspiracy theories we read about here.


And when anything stops changing and growing, it dies.


Republicans want the ACA to fail, and President Trump has the authority to collapse it entirely, so that people will beg them for a solution -- any solution.


Why is it called the Freedom Caucus? Or did they come up with that name themselves?


Anyone who is outraged by the government position, needs to replace Catholic with Muslim and see if they feel the same way.  It's amazing to watch but you can see them try to talk out of both sides of their mouth on this one - a right and acceptable for Catholics becomes unCanadian and "them trying to take over and force their backward religion on us" for Muslims.


C'mon, he won't last one more year.  Impeachment is on the way.  Even Ford had his powers taken away for being a drunken, lying, imbecile.


Oh course Trump would admire Saddam Hussain's policy for dealing with terrorists and dissent. Trumps proposals of lots of torture, going after family members, and massive indiscriminate reprisals, are taken straight out of Saddam Hussain's playbook, and have long been the tactics of murderous right-wing dictators, many of whom Trump appears quite publicly to admire. Metaphorically, they are similar to his cut throat business practices, except as President, he could actually torture and murder people. Heady stuff for someone like Trump.


As a retiree, it does not sound like much at first glance, but given my actuarial lifetime it equals a 9% reduction in total. More if my wife or I go longer. The last cut was roughly 1/3rd. Can't do anything about it...


Just another rant of the GOP to change the current focus on health care & the Russians. The GOP has been trying to get Clinton since he became president in the 90's. They will not be running for office again. Stop wasting money.


The only way an impeachment would happen is if the house and senate are controlled by democrats. The republicans will never move to impeach one of their own even if they don't like him. The same could be said for democrats. Politics in america are now at a cross roads to either loyalty to the party or loyalty to country. Clearly party is winning out at this point.


Thanks, Western...you've got it.  And the truth you speak is true of EVERY genre.


no i know reality bud, the leap manifesto is a sick twisted bunch of bs society is rejecting ..now i know cristy is a crook on raising funds, (as all libs are) but unless you are ready to vote conservative and start a new direction, you have no choice, the ndp will all but ruin the economy


I am available to join the Canada team. It is good to get a crack at this usless agreement, now can the Globe reporters cover the 41 things a Canada First strategy makes necessary for Canada. Why 41 well it is best when dealing with a bully that mine is bigger than yours. I would like to start the process immediately.


You are welcome to give as much of your own money to these companies as you want.  So is anyone else.

But handing out other people's money taken by force is called theft.


My other concern is 'what' is included and how long the news stories remains front and centre.


So glad that our military is "protecting us" by injecting huge quantities of pollutants into the upper atmosphere. Quoting from Forbes:

- The U.S. Department of Defense is the single-largest consumer of fuel in the world.

- Jet fuel accounts for 71% of the entire military’s petroleum consumption.

-Capable of sustaining supersonic speed without afterburners, the fighter jet [F-22] gets an estimated .4 mpg, depending on conditions and speed.

-At current oil prices, it takes more than $30 worth of fuel to deliver one gallon of jet fuel to a plane in flight.

Complete the rail from the east Kapolei station up until the middle street transit station. Operate the rail for 4 years. Keep the rail CLEAN AND SAFE. No filthy people, vandalism or men exposing themselves. This is very important for continued future ridership (random marshals riding along). During the 4 years plan for a section of the rail that runs to Waianae. The rail would be most beneficial to the west side of the island. Traffic is terrible and it might be able to help families over there save time and money commuting to there jobs in Kapolei, Waipahu and Airport areas. Also property is cheaper so acquisition wouldn't be nearly as costly. Run the rail for another 4 years plan last section to Ala Moana. Hopefully down town property values go down in that time.


If the unemployment is rising, that's a bad thing. The more people looking for work is a bad thing.


No it won't.  My guess is you have never owned a business and met a payroll.

With specific commentary to the Native Hawaiian caucus, her actions and subsequent obfuscation and half-hearted tepid apology, reflect an antithesis to the values of most any native culture--that is to say-- humility.

For Native Hawaiians, this is embodied by ha'a ha'a. Ha‘aha‘a is the value of humility.

Ha‘aha‘a teaches us to groom our character with a humility stemming from the utmost of respect for others.Summarilly, it promotes the self, but only with modestly and great measurement, while humbly being open to growth learned from others.

Ha‘aha‘a helps us understand that no individual is bigger than the whole. Moreover, it gives great reflection and deference to all the people and actions  who have walked before you and the attendant sacrifices they have made.

E kala mai, but her actions are all about her and border on the exercise of sulfurous hubris that comes when the self it at the primacy of the value system. From a cultural system, not very Hawaiian at all...


Not that I give a twit about them, but they should look inward, at those on the team that are more concerned with how to disrespect our country, than do what they are paid to do.  I remarked a year ago, 'get rid of Marshall now'.  If there are those who think I'm wrong in my thinking, fine, what do you watch the games for?  Protesting, or sports?


Huh? You should be applauding the Israelis for once again exercising incredible restraint in dealing with a violent mob. I will remind you that the Temple Mount (which, contrary to the brazen historical revisionism of UNESCO, is the holiest site in Judaism), was the scene of the deliberate murder of two Israeli policemen and the wounding of a third only a few days ago.


Dilapidated equipment, drunken sailors canceling multi-national exercises, procurement corruption, a military budget among the world's lowest, regular reports of sex harassment scandals, shopping for a peacekeeping mission and coming up empty handed except for the headlines and now this guy.
There is no valid reason to not sack him since he's lost the confidence of many of the people he leads as well as his counterparts around the world and to justify keeping him because he 'apologized' is laughable.
His biggest asset is his diversity.


Just a bit on the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, the last iteration was passed on December 31, 2012.  So, the IRS has only been able to check Trump out for 4 years.  If criminal activity was found in that time, it would have been referred to the Justice Dept. for an FBI investigation.  Which is what is being investigated.  BTW: you still have not addressed what you think of the Grand Juries and subpoenas.  More 'fake news'?  That, should concern most Americans --- but not you --- obviously.


I wonder why the review for Sheets was delayed until closing weekend.

Their wives, mothers, and daughters are killed in numbers disproportionate to the rest of the population and you call their expressions of grief and concern "bellyaching." Be happy you have no cause for similar grief. And be kinder.


Will Seattle Weekly update this when the guy is arrested? With the license plate so clearly visible I wouldn't think it would take too long to arrest the driver as accomplice, and track down the gunman.


Feminists are failing women by not speaking out against burkas.  So tired of the argument that it is their choice.  If your husband and family tell you are a whore if you don't wear it where exactly is the choice?  My husband is Muslim and former refugee from Muslim majority country and he thinks burkas are ridiculous. This is not an issue of freedom of religion it is an issue of women being treated equal to men in public.

Too bad that is Trump's post factual world it is impossible to be snide or sarcastic. There are some people who will read this and think you are serious!


While there were certainly issues with Clinton, to call her corrupt and a liar without recognizing the blatant ignorant untruths uttered by Trump is the height of partisan self delusion.

Alaska is making waves with these accomplished skiers an UAA president was going to cut the skiing program? This is potentially what sets UAA apart. Improve student housing, market UAA to other regions and attract more skiing students. Congratulations to Andrew Kurka and other achievers!


Interesting piece rich with accolades about rural Alaska while glossing over the economic truth. The truth is virtually all Alaskan rural villages operate without an economic basis.  They are wholly dependent on government subsidies of one form or another. Decades ago we called that welfare. Nothing has changed other than the name. Power cost equalization is a case in point.  How many urban Alaskans would like a subsidy from the government called travel cost equalization?  Same for bypass mail. In the L48 there is a name for towns without an economic justification for existence. They are called ghost towns. In those cases people moved on to a new economies and life continued.  On the other hand we provide Alaskan villages with an economic crutch that masks the dismal truth. It is unsustainable without more welfare.  Meanwhile the villagers learn nothing about a work ethic and and economic self sufficiency.

You were thinking that's a defense of your deflection?

It's not, but that kind of thing was expected.


If it was your oil it would be stuck in the ground, because the current laws keep Alaskans and smaller oil companies from finding selling oil at a profit, your part time major oil legislators made sure of that. Only the majors can profit from Alaskans oil.

Change the laws so Alaskans can drill and profit at long last!

You don’t know what you are talking about.


Sounds like a personal problem, see something that triggered you?

…..get that insecurity looked into.


Wow you write about unreasonable bail without mentioning the state and federal constitutions which are violated every day in the courts by judges and they get away with it.  The second violation of both constitutions is when judges require a "third party custodian". The bill needs to get rid of that requirement forever! It is unconstitutional.  Period.


You hear of these kind of tragedies, such as a newborn killed by the family German Shepherd, or, years ago in my son's neighborhood a toddler lost an arm to the neighbor's pit bulls. But the owners assure you the dogs are "Just a big old baby!". Forget that! These dogs have SHOWN that they are aggressive. Precautions can and will be taken, if it were my child. I don't understand why any family would have those aggressive breeds with young children.


Has always been an undercurrent of hardness against immigration since 911. The question is if the government will ever admit it and the press report it. Because so far they report it as a function of the "alt-right" and it most certainly not exclusive to the right. But all we hear is..."um. Uh. Um. Diversity is out strength".


Nice try but Khadr is being compensated because the Canadian Gov't did not give him access to due process and allowed him to be tortured. He is also a child soldier by the UN definition. Harper and his predecessors messed up big time for totally political and racist reasons. That is why we have laws.


Er, for some reason there is a photo of a supervised drug-injection site at the end of this article.

Odd it states there is a "Naxolone" kit on-site when the drug Is Naloxone.


"We have been told...."  you mean we have been told by the fake news outlets and talk radio hosts? No, we should not believe them.  That is irresponsible to the truth.  In fact, CarpaDM, "we" have been told nothing of the kind and the smoke is getting thicker and now Mr Trump is talking about firing special counsel.


In my opinion, as a Canadian Forces  (CF) veteran, I find the apology and compensation totally unacceptable.  I will reserve my sympathy for the families of the 158 CF members who died in Afghanistan and the 1,859 wounded CF members.....these Canadians who served their country are each deserving of $10 million payouts.


So what else is new.  The Obama DOJ from the start was one of the most corrupt and immoral in the history of the DOJ.


You have an odd idea what a compliment is.  Thank god my daughters were brought up to be equal to their partners, not pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen but able to spot bargains at the supermarket.


Not to those whose moral compass and self-preservation instincts haven't been compromised by drugs and PC.


"leaders such as Robert Stanfield, Stephen Harper, Brian Mulroney, Bill Davis, Peter Lougheed, Joe Clark and Jean Charest knew this"
Putting Joe Clark on the same list as Stephen Harper undermines everything else this spin doctor says.
And Jean Charest a "leader"?
Not the title I would assign him.


Andrew Jackson should note that because of this structural change in the labour market there is surely no good reason for the Bank of Canada to continue to pursue a 2% inflation target. We can have decent growth and a low unemployment rate at a lower inflation rate.  In fact we have been doing so for at least the last year.


This target can be met by enlarging the indigenous studies and black studies departments, as well as the other fringe departments.
This is why I stopped financially supporting my university. I hear the same comments from from others.


Actually unlike you I serve my country honorably.  I happen to be a Vietnam vet. What war did you fight in MF.


This line should read:  "My father-in-law is as conservative as they get and a retired research chemist who (helped) bring AZT to the market.


Agree completely. I'm waiting for the national party to step in and slap the Alaska chair.

Hatchling: Crimea remains illegally occupied by the Russian military and some local thugs/collaborators. No civilized country recognizes the Russian occupation of Ukraine's Crimea. Did you miss that fact when you were getting your daily briefing?


RT Dennis, with all due respect, you obviously majored in minor hair splitting. Your referenced "Media Bias Fact Check" presents a one tiny study of Voter Fraud, when there is WIDE SPREAD evidence of large numbers of illegal immigrants and others who have taken the time and effort to not only fraudulently register to vote, but also the time and effort, when they perceived their actions will be uncovered, to withdraw their registration. The numbers of KNOWN withdrawals, here in Colorado, have been reported (see McReynolds article) to be tens of thousands.

You conflate the two, as if Voter Fraud were only perpetrated by "individuals". Without the assistance and enablement of the biased Party and election machinery, comprised of more than one person, (in the vast majority of cases, a Democrat governor, Democrat legislator and Democrat County Election officials), the task of "Voter Fraud" would be much more difficult. The actions and intentions are identical, change the election results!


Questions are only 'unbiased' if they're worded to support your bias, eh?  "Have you stopped beating your wife?" questions.  Asking Trump how he felt about the accusations would be fair [w/o the biased- assumptive - modifier phrase]- and indeed has exposed more of his misogynistic attitudes - note: rather large % of sexual assaults are maneuvered or timed to be committed w/o witness, because they ARE crimes.  But I somehow doubt you're able to understand what's wrong with misogyny, or sexual assault, or the social pressures and stigmas that so often prevent unbiased investigation of such crimes, especially when committed by the rich or 'social elite' against the 'lower' classes -


"On January 29, 2010, the Supreme Court of Canada released its much-anticipated decision in Khadr v. Canada (Prime Minister), 2010 SCC 3. Though the Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal ordered the federal government to request Omar Khadr's repatriation as a remedy for breaching his section 7 Charter rights, the Supreme Court declined to go so far. Rather, the Court unanimously held that although Mr. Khadr's rights had been violated, it was for the federal executive, and not the courts, to decide how to best provide a remedy for that breach."
Where is your "pay-out which was based on judicial findings"???


Well, that's out there, isn't it Blankeny?   Thousands of people can't possibly be protesting because they refuse to accept Trump's campaign platform of nuclear war and nuclear proliferation, sexual assault and open contempt of women, deregulation that allows the wealthy to do as they please without any responsibility for the suffering their "freedom" to exploit causes, racism, denial of climate change, and many other social ills and insanity.  They're just protesting because "they lost."

For an appalling number of Americans the truth is always negotiable and expendable, especially when the truth is that they are small minded, bigoted imbeciles whose greatest strength is their numbers and ruthlessness.  Pride in ignorance doesn't begin to cover it.


I got to try Linux once. It had been put together by Boeing and forced down the throat of an organization I worked for.

If you were not a high level, knowledgeable, computer programmer, it was useless.

It was not user-friendly.    Fortunately, this guy named Bill Gates came out with a user-friendly operating system about the same time and the Linux thing was killed for the organization.

That one worked fine for computer illiterates such as  myself, Word processing, Spreadsheets, something called 'Dynamic Data Exchange".

It worked and was almost intuitive.  You didn't need ten years of "if-then" training to make it go.  And I had actually learned some stuff called Fortran IV at Duck U and Linux was still too much trouble compared to the thing Gates stole for very few bucks!

`Re medical tourism. Wiki offered: A McKinsey and Co. report from 2008 found that between 60,000 and 85,000 medical tourists were traveling to the United States for the purpose of receiving in-patient medical care.[65] The same McKinsey study estimated that 750,000 American medical tourists traveled from the United States to other countries in 2007 (up from 500,000 in 2006).

Just to clarify a point. 15% is just the number of Americans that do not have private health insurance. I believe as I am sure you do, that all Canadians should be covered for all their needs, not just health care. I believe the best way of achieving that is to have a Guaranteed Annual Income FOR THE POOR. Then the poor can live more like the rest of Canadians.

Under that system taxpayers would be providing help for about 15% of the population, not 100%. I suspect that provinces could handle that on their own .


Accepting people as they are is one thing.  Rationalizing and justifying sin something all together different.

I also want to point out the irony of your statement about God passing judgement: I though you liberal dissidents were supposed to be non-judgmental and tolerant. Now you are calling for God to pass judgment on someone--simply because you disagree with them.  What happened to non-judgmental tolerance?

Oh--right---non-judgmental tolerance is only for those who you like and agree with.


According to the article, daddy said all the football team rock throwers were  willing to do 'community service'.  I didn't find a follow up article.


Start working at home with Google! It’s by-far the best job I’ve had. Last Wednesday I got a brand new BMW since getting a check for $6474 this - 4 weeks past. I began this 8-months ago and immediately was bringing home at least $77 per hour. I work through this link, go to tech tab for work detail. +++++++++ http://www.22moneybay.com

“When a person crosses the border in an irregular fashion, it’s not a free ticket to Canada,” he said.

I beg to differ, Mr. Goodale should provide number of migrants sent back to back his "its not a free ticket to Canada" claim.


Of course, complete silence from Gas Line Walker on Stevens’ 12 million dollar LIO real estate shopping spree.  The Anchorage LIO is a lightning rod for Walker’s governance (or lack thereof).  So you’d think he’d speak up and tell legislators to get in line and get into the Atwood building.  But no.  Heck, Palin would be screaming and screeching about this and shutting it down, just like she did with Frank Murkowskis’ private plane.  But not Walker.  He’s huddled somewhere with gas line consultants trying to figure out how to finance a $60 billion gas  line that makes no economic sense.  Walker is detached and oblivious to what is going on around him.  Worst governor ever.


This is not the traditional trapping if all the trapper is catching are peoples dogs or bald eagles.  Good.  Shut 'em down.


Maybe you don't remember just a year ago when the Access Hollywood tape was released and about a dozen women came out with allegations of groping/assault by tRump. He's been outed as a sexual deviant and harrasser, too, and still accidentally got "elected" to the WH. Why are you failing to speak out about that?
tRump is your guy. You own him. He violates all of the morally superior attitude that conservatives have been falsely hugging for years.

I am not sticking up for any brand in particular, I am aware that Toyota has had big problems with their Tacoma frames being garbage. Asides from that model Toyota models resist rust like any full line manufacturer, when you see cars on the road with rust it always depends on how much winter driving, how often did they wash it, what type of rustproofing they have, how often do they apply it. That being said in my personal observations I see more Chrysler products with rust than any other manufacturer, and they seem to start to rust out earlier.


no, it does not.


Let's be clear...as Mariners fans, we know this much: there is no floor.


The garages are empty because people are too afraid to use them.  Surface parking is more open and a lot safer.

This sounds so familiar. I had almost exactly the same experience this past April 2016. By June my gallbladder was gone and haven't looked back. I didn't realize how much of my life was being driven by the fear of getting sick from eating and the how my gallbladder was just causing a general low level illness all of the time that had become my everyday normal. I'm glad I had the surgery and glad you are feeling well too.


Yes.  America has the resources to provide clean water, food, shelter, health care, and education to every man, woman, and child in the country.  But that is not the case, because your 'Christian charity' turns out to be not so charitable.  It is time to be honest with ourselves and provide minimum human decency.  This goes for the entire world as well.  If people had adequate food, water, shelter, education, and health care, there would be very little need for war.
There would still be war, due to religious and political ideology, but it would be much less driven by human need.
You just personally like to have people worse off than you.  It feeds your ego.


The Liberals are in major damage control mode.


"Why is this the second article in 2 days from Alice trying to debunk fake news? Is she worried about something or feeling guilty?" THIS WAS DEEMED INAPPROPRIATE WHY?.


Unless Jagmeet Singh wins I think the NDP's in for a terrible shock in the next election. In more ways than one, every other leadership contestant has completely abandoned the average Canadian in their efforts to win the support of Quebec, First Nations', single-issue interest groups, and other atomized groups.  Singh is the only leadership contestant who actually appealed to Canadians and whose platform, for the most part at least, is quite appealing to the average Canadian. Guy Caron started strong addressing economic inequality with his Basic Income, but sold out to Quebec with his comments on the Quebec National Assembly vis-a-vis the Charter, Charlie Angus is laser focused on First Nations issues to the detriment of all others, Niki Ashton lost the moment she referred to herself as an "intersectional eco-feminist." I feel the NDP has simply lost its true identity as the defender of lower to middle class Canada. Represent their interests again as a whole, and you'll regain my vote.


I would like to see how they are going to force me to engage a real estate agent to buy a property.


Then why won't trump show his tax returns? What's he afraid of? That he's not the billionaire he says is? Or maybe who he does business with? Or how little he actually gives to charity? Did you know your hero is bringing in 78 foreign workers to work at his golf club in Florida? Boy, isn't that making America great?

Thank you.


Another red herring. What does this have to do with MAID and physician compensation?


The bible is clear about a woman role in church. Now if it is political correctness your after then you should get into politics. It amazes me how someone is elevated in position in the church without some basic knowledge of scriptures.

1 Tim.2:11 A woman[a] should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;[b] she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 15 But women[c] will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.


Washington Examiner  2013

"To see how meaningless the career-vs.-political distinction can be at the IRS, consider the case of Mark Ernst. He was H&R Block's CEO as recently as 2007, but when Obama took office in January 2009, Ernst joined the IRS as a deputy commissioner and helped craft new regulations governing tax preparers -- H&R Block and its competitors. How did this not violate Obama's revolving-door rules? "Mark Ernst is a civil servant at the IRS," an IRS spokesman explained to me. "He is not a political appointee."

But Ernst had spent decades in the private sector. He came in with the new administration. His stint at the IRS lasted less than two years. And he certainly was political: Federal Election Commission records show he contributed more than $49,000 to federal candidates and political action committees. His donations favor Democrats.

So, being a "career civil servant" doesn't mean you're making a career out of the job, or that you're not political."


This is a "fake news" story. Tenants don't need lawyers because they don't have a case. (Its a simple matter of "no pay, no stay" Furthermore the Judge will take care of their legal rights if at all possible. I don't know if reporters have a duty to be unbiased but it seems they have forgotten the adage that there are two sides to every story.


That's just a slogan to RATIONALIZE foolishness.  Timothy Treadwell on wheels.  Still foolish, still irresponsible.


OIA agrees to have 4 less team?  Once again the public school kids get hurt


Actually, it was politically expedient thing to do:
1) HoC is in summer recess - maybe they will forget by fall - fat chance!
2) Trudope is over in Germany. Very little Canadian press over there to drill him.
3) Payment from the government was quickly done. Probably the fastest payments ever made by a government since AdScam!


I get the decision here. It's just a matter of enforcing our laws. The laws are there to keep order and safety in our country.  The people should protest the law of protection of an enemy combatant's rights,  not the enforcement of the law.

Playing devils advocate though, cannot Khadr and his terrorist family be sued in civil court for treasonous acts against the state?  Is there no monetary punishment for their crimes to go along with Khadr's prison sentence?


Ho Hum. All incoming LEGAL immigrants should follow this:
In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American ... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag ... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language ... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Human trafficking.  Criminals that should be stopped by the government.  Disgusting... week after week we are told of the plight of the trafficked victims and the violations of federal and state law.  Nothing is done.  Corruption is the only word that fits.


Yeah, sure, bring in more muslims, they are the best, peaceful and most civilized, they gonna inject trillions of dollars to vigorize our economy, :(

Exactly. If you compare the actual numbers, as opposed to imagined alternative facts, enough homes are being built to accommodate the population increase. Not exactly the kinds of housing that some people prefer (detached houses), but enough in total. Of course, the supply is not enough to accommodate the speculative demand; it never is in bubbles.


I have to be opposed to these PC movements that want irritating things to be removed from view.  I have to be opposed otherwise I could never show my face in public.


I agree this a thoughtful article, and may inspire more people to think about how we got to this point.  I think it's a good thing the 'working class' is paying closer attention, even if they are blaming the wrong people.  All of us need to pay more attention, and demand from our government a clear plan for ending the economic insecurity which plagues so many.   One thing is certain, if we don't stand together and speak with one voice, nothing will improve.  That is not a political opinion.


1. And this affects Canada how, exactly?

2. Canada has more issues with governance than the USA, can we have some reporting on that? At least can we see the latest shirtless selfies?

Really, 200 posts on something that is irrelevant to Canada...And don't tell me about the 27 people in Canada who may or may not be actually affected by this..


No more than the satirical performance art of Trudeau, Obama and Clinton as they pretend to be "leaders".


Note how ONLY western nations get suckered into this "refugee" shell game nonsense. The UN "convention on refugees" was the biggest con ever laid on the west.


Gorsuch is clearly extremely well qualified for the position on the Supreme Court. His confirmation will merely restore the balance on the court that existed prior to Justice Scalia's passing, as there will again be four conservatives, four liberals, and Justice Kennedy who tends to be socially liberal and occasionally conservative. Democrats should save their political good will, if indeed they have any, for the next time in case a liberal justice dies or retires. That is when they will need it because that is when there would be a true swing in power on the court, similar to last year when Obama nominated a liberal to replace Scalia, threatening to swing the balance to liberal. But if they want to burn political capital for nothing this time around and risk losing several more seats in the Senate in 2018, by all means do it!


It is a colossal waste of money on an unprecedented scale and this pipe dream must end. If Exxon and BP and ConocoPhillips will not build it, the walk away.   Quit being irrational.  Cut spending and grow the Permanent Fund to $100 Billion.  That will protect Alaska long-term.


You actually have far less in common with Eastern Orthodoxy as a working model of a church than you think you do, and this is because you look at them from the outside and not as a member. In any case, there is next to zero interest in most Orthodox churches in getting together with the Roman Catholics. That is just a fact.

What a bunch of morons.  Ok I understand if some misdemeanor person was in a halfway house for some petty garbage.  But an accused rapist with a history of charges and walkaways?  Yeah that's freaking bright.

Facepalm; here's when you have one hand that has absolutely no idea what the other hand is doing.  Why anyone with a violent felony conviction or charge would be sitting in a halfway house is just plain stupid.

Note "violent". I don't care if some fool wrote bad checks and ended up with a class c felony & is sitting in a halfway house.  Or any other non violent, non destructive felonies ... But attempted or otherwise rape, murder, arson, assault, burglary, etc  doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that you should keep them behind BARS!

Are you telling me that it would just be too much work, time and $ to figure this out before sending them there? Seriously?


Yes,   HRS Penal Code section, there is Trespass 1st and  Trespass  2nd and Simple Trespass but if I remember right it refers to private prperty.  I think real target are  protesters,  all protesters to include UH.

Alaska needs new leaders so run for office and join people like Russ Millette that wants to give Alaska's oil wealth back to the people and not those in Government that sells the people of Alaska out with things HB 247 and SB 130 and SB 21!

We need my 77/7 Plan that I used to replace SB 21 in 2013! Please Google it.

I was rejected by the leaders then but everyone can see I was right with my 77/7 plan!

The state has a plan to kill oil companies with HB 247 so it is time to vote to distribute the Permanent Fund and all the land with mineral rights so the people will have the power and not these leaders that abuse it!

It is time to give Alaska back the Alaskans and drill baby drill so the people will control the next 19 billion barrels of oil and not those kind of dishonest leaders that sell Alaskans out 365 24/7 just like HB 247 has proposed, tell your leaders to vote against it now!!


Oh the guilt!   No mention of how many white eyes were relieved of their scalps.


Is the printing press the same one that is located right next to the Frontiersman on the P-W highway?


No, argyle5663, I rather enjoy debate - one reason why it's frustrating to see the 'emoji only people' who lack the intellectual courage to put their actual views on record.  (I note you haven't actually done so either, choosing to rely on Neil MacDonald instead.)

My comments about ignorance and the weak-minded was aimed at people who  started out believing M-103 actually did create new crimes - and there were many then and remain lamentably many today.  You may have noted that the original post I replied to had claimed "Bill M103 only protects one faith."  That's ignorance.

I don't have time to go through each point in MacDonald's column, but he seems to have neglected Ezra Levant's malice, ill-will, and reckless disregard for the truth - and those are the words of the judge who ruled against Levant in his last defamation suit.

MacDonald's chicken-little column also ignores the strict limits placed on hate speech legislation - criminal and human rights - by the SCC.


All your comments are created out of sound bites. If you could form a rational argument you'd be taken seriously. Anyone arguing against free lunches for children by using the quote you used is demonstrating what is wrong with this country. The fact is that the child is trying to learn to fish. You just want them to do so poorly, therefore you have a lower class to look down upon.


I think you are better off returning home to Zimbabwe. Crying for a work permit that will never come is a waste of time. By now you could have started something innovative in Zimbabwe instead of trying to stay on in someone's country. I lived in RSA on a work permit for a good 10 years, but then realised that home is best and am now back "home" in Zambia and working and doing all sorts of things, like farming and teaching journalism at a local university. So, really Meli Ncube, pack your bags and go back to Bulawayo or Harare. You will NEVER regret it. By the way, after my 10 years in Mozambique, and then 10 years in RSA, I spent a further six months in your country (in Mutare) but left before my 3-year contract and Zimbabwe work permit expired. I am happy to be home among my similing fellow citizens !


You have a very odd idea of how the stats are generated. The government does not keep track of who buys tobacco. Mainly, they find out how many people smoke by asking, and secondarily from medical information.


Dear Mr. Sweet - he didn’t go “directly to the people.”  He lost the popular vote.  He won the electoral college but more American voters voted against Mr. Trump than voted for him.  That’s called “going directly to the people?”  On what planet?  Why doesn’t he go directly to the people on the wall funding?  Why doesn’t he go directly to the people on repeal and replace?  Why doesn’t he go directly to the people on his failed muslim bans?  These are all glaring failures of your outsider friend.  He needs a big win before mid terms and it won’t come from cannibalising his own party.


I've had this discussion with an SJW friend, and I appreciate her perspective but it is also way off in the clouds.

Not everything needs to be legislated, nor should it be.  Certainly pronouns should not be legislated.

The word "they" already has a definition and although you are free to try and redefine it, you can't expect others to do so.  I am much happier using new words like ze and hir rather than trying to redefine an existing word.

The discussion about the exact pronouns that the person would like to be called is really quite irrelevant.  I am a man.  I am called he and him. I have had no say in this, and frankly my say is irrelevant.  This is what society expects to call me and it would be stupid to fight that.  We just need neutral pronouns for those that don't identify as a gender, and they need to be accepted by all of society, not just by those that don't identify with a gender.

Yes, New England waters have been over fished for decades. Ban trawlers and get bycatch rules changed and soon. I've never understood while coastal fishermen haven't sued the over bycatch and that it's wasting a crucial food resource. Just charge extra for bycatch. Figure something out that will stop the dumping of perfectly good stock. Every concerned Alaskan should attend NPFAC meetings, see schedule at http://www.npfmc.com


If the Tax Credits could only be recouped AFTER production starts, that would be a simple tweak to the new/current, exploration supportive, tax program.  In other words, the companies would be awarded tax credits for development and could use them against the royalties and/or owed taxes once the drilled wells are producing (monetize the exploration).


..."Finally, I would very much like to live right next door to President Trump. What an upgrade from 1360 square feet!"
 would you hire him? would you want him to work for you?
   you would choose to be his neighbor because he is wealthy and has a big, failed hotel,..i mean home.. to live in -     assuming you would be rich too.  Not because of who he his, but what he has...makes perfect sense and speaks to what is valuable to you.
 i'll leave it at that...


and how does that solve "votes for access" or any other consideration for access?

Try to think like you're actually a "Conservative" vs some know-nothing who fancies themselves as one.


Would not your doctor have a responsibility here? If one's sight has deteriorated because of cataracts, or one's arm is mending from a fracture and is in a sling, that person's doctor has a duty to report this to the authorities and one's licence to drive is suspended,  I believe..


I never read anything about "all he checks in is a gun and ammo."   I agree with the rest of your comment.   I think that he might have been trying to get "home" to Puerto Rico.  The cabin pressure  might have disoriented him and caused a psychotic episode.


The issue is not what they are paying now, but how much will their taxes be cut. And when you consider the cut in rates, cutting the Alternative Minimum Tax, cutting the corporate tax rate, and cutting taxes on things like law partnerships and medical practices, construction, and real estate companies, those not really rich but in the top brackets will get cuts like $100,000 for a married couple and even more as income rises. So we are cutting the taxes of upper bracket taxpayers by hundreds of thousands per year. This forces the cuts for the middle class to be small-- so you get a reduction of $600. If we want the economy to grow we need to get more money to the middle class to spend and consume so we stimulate more investment and job creation. Corporations have the biggest cuts, but what effect will that have if the big corporations are already paying 0 to 10% instead of the current 35% rate and using their cash to buyback stock instead of investing and creating jobs.


This is Muslims doing what Muslims do.  Why do they expect anything different from Islam?  Do they not look at history?


Excellent points by other posters

Why do governments continually try to re-invent the wheel instead of copying the best?
Especially in transit where Canada is definitely not a leader.

Why do we keep focusing on cash from ticket sales as the sole benchmark for successful transit projects?
Yes, subsidies are an added expense but what about the other 'profit' indicators?
The experts claim congestion costs the GTA billions each year.
Does the UP help reduce that?
Are there less vehicles on the road?
Has travel time been reduced?
Is the UP service a key selling point for convention and tourism business?

Look at the whole package and then decide if the UP is a white elephant.


The problem is that the " someone " doesn't exist.  The place doesn't pencil out.  It's time for it to be torn down so that what ever goes in there generates more tax money to help pay the cities union workers.
