For those who oppose the sugar tax: Why not demonstrate your opposition by boycotting the sugar product. You thereby cheat the government from the tax revenue that you oppose and benefit by improved health. That's what I call a win win proposition.


Where did I say that?  I said the cost of the insurance companies adds no value.


Don't you know that it is the laity's only job now, To have constant sex in order to  pop out gobs of excess male babies to solve our misogyny crisis (oops!  I mean vocation crisis)? Lay people should be doing this one thing, and not worry their silly little heads trying to lead important church organizations and depts.  - Just make those babies!!

Sometimes I think this pope is really different and able to make real changes and then he turns around and makes some horrible comment or hires some bland choice to cover a position that really might have made for a great example, demonstrating he is a pope with his ears somewhat open.  Sad these missed opportunities.  He really is just still not getting it.


I know what you mean, Nicholas. Fortunately, my doctors and the pain clinic I go to figured out really quickly how to tell I'm in genuine pain without me having to say anything. My normally perfect blood pressure goes sky-high when I'm hurting (from injuries received in a car accident).


Divide and conquer, right? Grow up.


Wagner Act of 1935?  Or the Taft-Hartley Labor Act of 1947, which amended the Wagner Act?  Or the Taft-Hartley Labor Act amendments of 1975?  Doesn't matter!

Reagan used it to allow companies to break laws during strikes, dishonored agreements, prolonged and/or prohibited strikes by his declarations.  Union protections and wages haven't been the same since.  The workers -- literally -- bargained away their rights out of desperation.

Whilst that was happening.  Lots of scabs (non-union scabs) were brought in to work for various companies, factories, mills, etc.  Most of the product produced by scabs -- was junk that could not be sold -- poor quality.  But the companies were willing to wait.

Companies spent millions and millions of dollars during that period of time.  The end goal was to reduce wages, and eliminate as many benefits as possible.  It worked.  Oh, and then start shipping our jobs, and their profits, out of the country.


Olie: when I saw the first replay of the hit, colour queens were still calling it a head shot. Looked like a good shoulder block to me. When I saw it a third time colour guys  and hockey experts were still  yammering about a game suspension because of a chin hit. It still didn't look like a head shot, to me. When you have a 230lb guy take out a 150lb guy, at full speed , of course it isn't going to look pretty! By the fourth replay, ref refused to call a penalty and they were beside themselves with excuses.  Sometimes, you have to wonder, who  makes this stuff up?


first cut that should be made is the salary of the greedy bstrd that wants to cut funding for the elderly


I fly to Seattle and avoid the criminal doctors here in Alaska.


Obama wouldn't condemn BLM, even after one of their supporters killed five police officers.
I guess you were with that--since it wasn't Trump.


If the capital were in Anchorage none of this would matter.


I am 72 years old and I despise rap.  Nothing is more irritating than rap singers doing their dirty words.  I hope they keep rap out of the fair.


Scavengers, preying on the poor.


Yes, I understand the premise but if the law is written so the average man can understand it, as it is required to do otherwise it is void for vagueness and a nullity. Then why do we allow judges to insert their own definitions thereby changing the intent of the law and thereby creating new law? A "case law" which was not created by congress therefore unconstitutional in my mind. The intent of our forefathers was for every man to be able to bring his or her grievances to a jury of his peers and both the law and the facts be judged. A judge should be a referee not an active part in the contest.


How do we end up with such inept leadership and suffer short-sighted decisions?  Oh yeah, vote Liberal.


I think history will judge Comey harshly not only for the irregular announcement about the investigation into the Clinton emails, but also for the (shall we say?) unevenness in his irregular announcements: why no announcement that there was already an investigation underway concerning contacts between the Trump campaign and various persons and entities in Russia?


We'd be better off using all the Climate change cash to better learn to adapt to these changes rather than spinning the hamster wheel tying to change the earths course.  In North Pole there are Petrified Sequoia Trees... Sooooooo. California weather was here at some point... Just don't tell anyone....


You have hit on a characteristic that is common with narcissists and it is related to my comment regarding an authentic self; they have no originality.  They mimic, mirror, and emulate others, adopting beliefs, activities and values of those they target, and they are dumbfoundingly skilled at it.  Their acting abilities are beyond what most people can understand, possibly because in the moment they believe themselves. One victim stated that they fake emotions better than ordinary people feel the real thing. It is regularly seen in abused spouses who have difficulty leaving their abuser.   The abuser turns on the charm, promises, goes on best behavior, woos, "love bombs," and ordinary people cannot believe that anyone who didn't really feel that way could possibly exert so much effort to lie.

Trump's voters are going to have difficulty believing they have been conned as much as they have, but they will.  Disillusionment is the only possible outcome to this disaster.


Funny
The words “terrorism” and “terrorist” weren’t used once in this article.
Also “crazed, lone gunman” was hinted at numerous times.


The reader's approach sounds good except that the buy / sell points are difficult to set properly. What if the stocks never retreat back to the "buy" level, or takes way too long to do so? Sit in cash, and use up your capital which is making below-inflation returns?

I have a friend who was looking to bail when the S&P 500 was at 1800. Now it is over 2300.


Yes the Manchester suicide bomber Salman Abedi had links to a Canadian-Libyan radical Islamic preacher who served as the imam of a mosque in  Ottawa, perhaps we should start there !!!!
Truly entering the mind of the left is an exercise in madness.

THOMAS HOMER-DIXON
"Canada must not give up the fight on climate change"
Tell you what Thomas, you so much believe in the carbon scam, feel free, you and all the 39% of liberal supporters to demand Justin, diminishes your personal earnings for as much as you can take, seat back and wait to see what effect your money will have in controlling emissions. I'm afraid 10 yrs. from now, you'll still be on the same seat, waiting for something to happen. But do not expect, the real hardworking canadians to fund your marxists agenda.


A feasibility report that is based on hypotheticals and projections is not a balance sheet, showing actual funds. If I recall, that same feasibility report also stated that in even the most conservative of situations, CSU would be able to service their debt via revenues from the stadium and the private donations. CSU made their decisions based on the most conservative estimates."The $220 million was 100% borrowed so therefore there are debt payments that include interest that started in 2016- where did that money come from." Again, I don't know how to make this any more clear, someone above me cited the exact text but it's right there in writing: " Bond payments (which would include interest) would be paid from stadium revenues and private donations (of which there is at least ~$60million)".


Where are the federal charges?


Everyone reacts differently to grief.  There is audio of Trump on a similiar call, and he sounded okay to me, not mean.  As for Johnson, I can't pass judgement on her feelings, it did upset the family and friends listening on speakerphone.  However, Trump's words as reported, were not awful, just awkward -- and I believe he meant well.  Again, everyone reacts differently to grief.

However, leaving aside the one call, in the rest of the Trump saga with Gold Star families, Puerto Rico, etc.  -- he doesn't help himself.  He needs to develop a thicker skin -- as his reactions to any negative opinion requires compassion, self-knowledge and a conscience.  He makes himself appear to lack all three.


Corvallis and McMinnville are off the I-5 corridor, and not served with major RR, so less accessible to those hitching, rail riding or on foot.
I lived in Corvallis area for quite a while, albeit almost 20 years ago, and as pleasant a place as it was/is, there are still places in the parks and outskirts where you really don't want to go alone or at night.


The Newfoundland Government has done as much as it can to CLOSE half of our libraries and cut funding to the remainder . So much for literacy in our province.


Yeah, the assassination of Dallas police officers.


There were no security sleeve folders for ballets at 9 AM at Kailua Elementary. Much confusion because people were not all properly directed to voting booth, so some decided to try to fill out the ballot while standing in the scanner line rather than lose their place. Only one scanner, so long line, 45 minute wait for me, to scan my ballot.


Agree Zoolander doesn't care. This is an affliction for all Liberals, they lack empathy and are selfish. How else do you end up charging charities for speaking engagements. Carbon taxes and other Liberal ideas always nail those least able to afford it.


That's not actually the point. But the residents of Boulder have been willing to tax themselves to pay for civic improvements and markets have responded with high real estate values. There are all kinds of towns along the Front Range. People can live in any one they choose.


They need to discredit this young lady.


It's a replacement airline.


I was on a business trip to Fairbanks back in March.  The University was hosting the Arctic Conference at the time.  They filled every hotel room in Fairbanks in the winter.  That provided jobs and money for the hotels, restraunts, cabs, airlines etc.  That put a lot of money into the community.  If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.


Take heart Hillary true believers.  Even if she comes in second place, she will still go to a special magical place.  I think it's called Leavenworth.


A rare good choice by Trump.

Wray has too much integrity to do the president's dirty work.


You're not a doctor but you play one on TV?


Selfish expedience is the clue to your question.


you just explained one of the driving forces of assimilation of french speaking people.  they have been taught to feel ashamed of their culture and language the minute a unilingual anglo walks into a room.  by constantly accomodating the anglo, who may or may not be a closed minded bigot, they have over time lost their language.  the siblings still speak it among each other in a private setting with no anglos around, but their children do not speak it at all.


"... there was a consensus that houses should be smaller and use less resources..."

I hope that they all Take A Knee this weekend, I would much rather see the NFL die by suicide then death by a thousand cuts. I hope it will free up the air space for better programming.


Quite an illuminating comment, to say the least.

White dude??  What if a non-white, and made my comment?  Would that make it more acceptable?  What if I was Hispanic, would the city NOT rezone my property?

Is "Bree" too cute for you to be objective about?  You sound like you may sit there in the meetings thinking more about how to shelter her, then the work at hand, "middle-aged white dude."


They aren't, but they've got Congress believing they are, at least enough of them to keep the Green Energy lobby greasing their palms.


You have merely re-stated his claim. You have not answered the "why" question in my post, a "why" that was asked in the context of the items I listed out there.


Unfortunately now we have an administration that is hellbent on removing every restraint of business there is.  It will destroy us along the way.

You are right but and it is a huge but, nobody does except big ticket items...do you really think people is other states save tens of thousands of receipts for a nickel here a penny there to itemize. Sorry, but you are being unrealistic if you claim that happens. An income tax is easy to track, prove, and therefore to deduct.


Not when it tries to think for me on matters of natural law. It is free to make an argument, but don't claim that it has a superior ability in this area when serious analysis and science say otherwise. This may shock you, but I am as much a member of the Catholic Church as Cardinal Burke, Archbishop Chaput, Pope Francis and Jay Edward, as well their mothers. The Clergy can certainly Mass and say how it is to be said fairly unilaterally, but it is out of its league on sex, including imposing Continence on priests, which is an insult to human sexuality.


How much is this fantasy world going to cost? Isn't Toronto always whining about being broke? Where are they getting this money?


The censorship here is grotesque.


A poorly "planned" trip demonstrating a serious lack of foresight at the minimum.  Continuing this type of performance will only confirm that Rep. Gabbard is a legend in her own mind.


In short, "What have you done for me lately?"


Scary, right? Don't let kids see that picture before bed time!


This article is nothing but more fake news from the alarmist Associated Press. The billions already costing us can be applied to the carbon taxes that lefties governments collect to share with their friends.


So google guy writes a memo,  provides facts and the scientific studies behind the facts..  Feminist hack responds with emotional appeals.   Typical.


On May 9 I'll be good with whoever wins...as long as it is not Christy Clark.


Non residents shouldn't be allowed to own property here. That includes people who don't pay tax here.


" Maybe now he (trump) will see the futility of continuing to whine, tweet, moan and seethe about the whole non-affair."

HAHAHAHAHA!

Mr. trump and his Twitter habit prove 140 characters is more than sufficient with which to enable an individual to say a lot, but mean nothing. Twitter also offers the opportunity for an individual to significantly embarrass themselves in front of the whole world without needing to attach photos depicting nudity. It also enables those inclined to act impetuously using vindictive language to insult others need no longer be confined to a kindergarten school yard


How do you know for a fact those 25 news reports were factual?  Which 25 new reports in particular do you speak of.


I live in a part of the country where I've always (well, usually) enjoyed snowflakes. I hate to see them abused this way.


Great shot!


Islam was never a religion of peace, it was borne of the sword and so too shall it end.


So more people won't get stuck living their last years in some abyssmal nursing home waiting to die.


Interesting. So D6 was in a downward spiral driven by mostly white slum-lording? This is the first I'd heard of it. Not surprisingly, since we're not allowed to know that D6 was anything but sunshine and rainbows.

It's just one irony of revisionism that we can't attribute the blame due to whites for D6's demolition. Where are they in this restitution process? Another irony is that the requirement that D6 be seen as "wholesome" in order for condemnation of Botha to stick, depends on Botha's own moral logic, in reverse. The gross and patronizing implication being that if in fact D6 was a dirty slum, we might conclude that its razing was right.


it would be nice if SOMEONE that wasn't part of the process that has ruined this state would step up and run.


The reality is there's a Grand Canyon between the accusations and what actually occurred, so out of desperation they are trying to bridge the gap with the supposed "injuries" which happen in any football game.


What's this better place for a burger? Genuinely interested.


I wonder what the comments would've been if this had been an obituary.


Black-clad Leftist anarchists storm Berkeley rally, assaulting 5

Black-clad leftist extremists on Sunday stormed into what had been a largely peaceful Berkeley protest against hate and attacked at least five people, including the leader of a politically conservative group who canceled an event a day earlier in San Francisco amid fears of violence.

The group of more than 100 hooded protesters, with shields emblazoned with the words "no hate" and waving a flag identifying themselves as anarchists, busted through police lines, avoiding security checks by officers to take away possible weapons..........................

Get the truth,
Audit the Trudeau Foundation
Let's see who pulls the strings of the puppet


Does Sue Ballard have any reasonable chance? I can't make sense of this never-ending maze of lying, deception, and corruption, but it sure seems to me that she is the most qualified person to replace Kealoha. I have read the long list of  her incredible credentials, work ethic and undeniable integrity. Seems like a no brainer that she should have the job. Is it just the usual lousy politics at work?


Self-proclaimed "Christians," as opposed to real ones, tend to be more judgmental and consider themselves better than others.  If they were real, they would follow in Jesus' steps by trying to be more understanding and compassionate.  Real Christians are secure in their beliefs, and would find no reason to berate this post.


If you want a clear definition of fascism, look up its roots. Mussolini's fascists were specifically dedicated to anti-socialist and anti-liberal activities, and it was Mussolini's movement that coined the term.
The anti-liberal bias was meant as a foil to the idea that a voter could rationally elect somebody devoted to individual liberty over the superior owner of a business.


Hits the nail on the head and if people can't see the change coming and get behind it they are not thinking well. Unfortunately capitalism with all of the good it produces has to face restrictions at times.
The people are the government and the people get weary of excesses and so change is in the making.
When you see all of the things America's money is doing to enrich people and other countries while Americans struggle with health care expenses, being test objects for pharmaceuticals, for profit insurance companies, watch family life erode, watch senseless killings, waste time communicating with over complicated equipment while paying out the nose for equipment that billionaires tell them they need, pressing 1 for nothing, pressing 2 for if you know your parties number dial it now and etc etc.
Used to laugh at the Russians for taking all day to get a call across the country and have you ever tried to call Social Security lately? No, it's time for change.


getting your "news" from youtube I see...


A non-profit public university is not a business.   I've worked in both.   There are critical differences in mission and modes of operation.


Trudeau is out of control.


Not to disagree with your post, but Energy East won't help with any of that list except accessing new markets.

We produce 4 m bbl/day, but we only use about 2 m bbl/day, which is what we refine.  Energy security is not a problem -- really only BC needs another refinery for their domestic market.

We import mostly light oil to the refineries in Quebec and NB that can't refine heavy oil from western Canada.  Energy East isn't going to change the need for imports of light oil.

Most of the oil we import is from the US.  I don't have a problem buying several hundred thousand bbl/day of light oil from them when they're buying a couple million bbl/day of heavy oil from us.  We're the net winners here.

And by the way, as for value added, eastern refineries aren't just buying light oil from the Americans, they're also selling a couple or three hundred thousand bbl/day back to the northeastern US as refined products.


The other problem with a market solution is that you're not buying bananas, you're buying healthcare, which is a complex area where very few people have enough knowledge to make informed decisions. The other obvious problem is critical care. If you're in an ambulance, just having had a heart attack, are you really in a position to shop around for the best deal on a cardiac surgeon?


Well, you're right about the fake news. Back in 2013, Obama accused Assad of gassing his own people. The UN studied both attacks carefully and concluded that al-Nusra (Obama's beloved and well-financed rebels) actually did the gassing, although Assad might have used gas in a direct conflict with al-Nusra later that year.

We aren't talking about that ... that Obama jumped to a conclusion about the source of the gas and wanted to take us to war for it. Who gave him the false intelligence that claimed Assad did it? The same administrative state that told George W Bush that Saddam was seeking yellow-cake uranium.

Now Trump has fallen for the same fake news from the administrative state.

Maybe the problem isn't the politicians, but the bureaucracy that stays in place from one administration to the next and does not want to lose its power, so manipulates the politicians to do what the real rulers want. Bush, Obama, Trump, Clinton when she was secretary -- all fell for it.


Hence,  i see in a not too distant future, a new women's movement that will  request to have laws in place to force men to financially compensate women directly for bearing and caring for their children.

It never ends...


Yesterday, while watching the Global TV National News, there was an advertisement featuring children holding self-made signs depicting how and why we need to fight climate change.  The adverstisement was sponsored (paid for) by the Government of Ontario.

Kathleen Wynne:   Ha Ha Ha Haaaaaaaaa.  Now I have your children.


Can't wait for the season to start, new stadium looks gorgeous


The ARRC is not a State agency.


Climate change or not, an environmental shift did have a role in the decline in cod and increase in shrimp and cod stocks.  Starting in the 80s, the waters around Newfoundland cooled a bit which made the habitat more hospitable to shrimp and crab and less so for cod.  Now that trend seems to be reversing and shrimp and crab stocks are in decline while cod stocks are  recovering, at least in the more northerly areas.

Time to see Trump's tax returns.


"Currently licensed grow operations are geared to grow FIVE times the current legal market." Baloney, they are licensed by the state and inspected by the OLCC if they recreational, and the OHA if they are medical. The rest of your post is ridiculous. I don't give a rip about the issues in the state of Washington.


"Reported" by who? What "document"?

Why are you talking about Martin Luther King? Did Moore try to get in his pants, too? What is your point? Are you saying that its OK for Moore to be a pedophile if Martin Luther King got it on with a bunch of women?

The statues argument is the most baffling to me. Taking down statues of confederate traitors because they literally celebrate racism and slavery is not equivalent to taking down statues of a man who championed tolerance and equality. Even if your fantasy story is true about King, its not relevant to his achievements. The confederate traitors' statues are literally trying to rewrite history.

Basically, you are a racist who thinks that if a black guy does something bad, that makes it OK for Roy Moore to be a pedophile.


Good thing the vast majority of immigrants are economic immigrants then


The nightmare begins. What a loser!!


I am not yet convinced that pursuing a gas pipeline is a viable idea at this time. However, you make some persuasive arguments that I cannot disagree with. Making investments today for tomorrow's benefits makes sense.

I hope you will agree that Alaska does not have an efficient energy delivery system in place that can provide affordable, reliable, and long term energy for Alaskans across the state. If that is true, then the AVEC idea makes sense, as well as your position to invest in a gas line now.

Can't both ideas move ahead in tandem since one idea, AVEC's, gives Alaskans near term use of our stranded gas and the governor's idea of producing benefits from our stranded gas helps us further down the road ?


So the assembly gets to decide which religions are valid enough to be allowed free speech?


If the DOJ feels they should prosecute Hillary, Lynch, Holder, and Obama, they should do so, but why firing the special counsel?  Russia meddled in our election, and it is important to find out if they cooperated with American partners.


One of the biggest problems holding back health care in Canada is that, the moment anyone so much as HINTS at copying something that is working well in somewhere like the U.K. or France there is instantly a massive outcry of "We don't want a U.S. style health care system!!!".  As a result we can't change to copy what places like France or Sweden might have done because of problems in the U.S. system.

Obviously this makes no sense at all to anyone who spends a microsecond thinking logically about things, yet one need only read the comments above mine to see examples of this exact behaviour.  Somehow *ANY* change to health care is viewed as moving us toward that boogeyman of the U.S. health care system and, as a result, we're stuck with our poorly performing system.


Fact of the matter is the Ontario Liberals and the Federal Liberals are like a pair of Siamese twins.   They weren't happy leaving Ontario in a smoldering pile of ashes they now want to do the same for Canada.
Even if Meilleur was a good pick and qualified for the job she has already been tainted with her close ties to so many people within the federal ministries that picked her.  It is suppose to be non-partisan which is something she can't claim to be.


Nobody cares what your opinion is your not even an american, so go F yourself.


It's a good thing that NCR changed its policy on posting comments, otherwise, instead of the reasoned analysis we've come to expect, all we'd get is people hurling insults back and forth.  Thank God that didn't happen!


Well that's just silly. It's clear his top priority is selling Canada to China as fast as he possibly can.


We are living in a cesspool.


Which one's the moddah?


The dude was stealing from cars and got caught.


This is about saving her butt in the election next year, the fact it will be damaging to the economy is irrelevant the Liberals care about one thing and one thing only, winning on June 7th.  How about do what is best for the province as they need to remember all parties eventually get defeated and the longer they stay in power the worse the defeat is.  Losing in 2018 will probably be not as bad than if they end up staying until 2022 when the desire for change will be even stronger.  This is a policy about trying to shore up their lousy poll numbers not good policy.


Rona Ambrose is the right choice.  Smart, experienced, telegenic, very pleasant personailty, tough, bilingual and a woman. The next election will purely be a popularity contest, not a question of policy.  Zoolander wouldn't be able to put a glove on her.

God forbid the Conservatives select another over-fed, suburban, middle-aged and angry white guy in a boring suit.  May as well just stay home.


Bigotry? Vile Hate Speech? You are entitled to your opinion and bias against Donald Trump.  Reminds me of how in 1986 - after year after year after year for 6 years NYC failed miserably to build an ice rink.  Along comes Trump and asks Mayor Koch that he'd do it in 6 months.  What could Trump, a businessman do what the bright boys of NYC and even engineers could do in 6 years?  Yes, how could a businessman finish in just 6 months what engineers and bright boys of NYC not even accomplish in 6 years?  Yes. Except Trump built the ice rink in just 4 months, 2 months ahead of schedule.


This isn't exactly, Much Ado About Nothing, but it's turning out that way. Jospeh Boyden's ancestors had no written language, their stories were part of the oral tradition, much like Beowolf is the major example used in English literature classes of the English oral tradition. Later of course, printing was introduced, an Beowolf was written down.  Not so in the case of Boyden's ancestors.  To me Joseph Boyden has done more to educated Canadians about the people of the First Nations.  Good for him.  I give him the benefit of the doubt.  Now we should all put this mess behind us and concentrate on something more important: the outing of that imposter Archibald Belaney.


I drive a 2017  VW Golf Trendline TSI  on occasion.  I love this car and seriously it is as nice, possibly more fun,  to drive as my Audi TT.  The 5 speed manual is amazing.   As the salesman said and now I get it...its a drivers car.


This government is not about logic or common sense. Rather it's solely about symbology and perception. The perception that the middle class, the Trudeau buzz word, is getting something when they are not. Remember, it's sunny ways, but sunny ways don't pay the bills or help Canadians get ahead.
Two years from now Canadians will be mired in debt with an ever increasing tax demand from government. There will be less services but at greater cost. This is the legacy of the first Trudeau, and this one appears to be no different.


Yes, it will be interesting to see how it all shakes out.  I've been ordering online for ten years, since first injuring my back. I am very grateful to have it available.

Seems you're the only one who's infatuated with her.

Awww, you're smitten, aren't you?

Precious.


Wal-Mart is a bottom feeding parasite of a corporation that has left economic destruction wherever they go, that's why they are a "scapegoat".


Oh gosh that would be good if it were only "well over 1000".


True.  But, as this article "An Evaluation Of Kawaauhau v. Geiger" shows, it isn't exactly a slam dunk.

Did she 'intend' his actual  "emotional distress"  or not?   Or did she just want to scam him for money?  I'm betting she wouldn't get to discharge, actually.

I read this and then clicked the links to those stories and it leads to a very odd blog... the site (http://westieconnect.com/) looks completely bogus... and, it's Hawaii Free Press publishing this stuff (not the most credible news source).


But you've got a phone or some device, and the leisure time, to read and comment on here?  My Dad worked two jobs, plus overtime, to raise our family.  Try that.


"And bursting bubbles would put more people on the street and empty more homes than you or any deflater could imagine."

That's why governments have to adopt a surgical approach, particularly focused on employing tools that address the affordability problems in the Vancouver and GTHA regions. These regions are economic engines for the entire country and the lack of affordable housing is driving out young people, budding entrepreneurs and the creative class, thus undermining the longer-term prosperity of these regions and the entire country. Doing nothing about the problem is irresponsible as well as no longer being a viable option.


This whole thing for nearly two long years has become ridiculous. Watch Gavel to Gavel sometime. The talkers are vying to be the biggest Peacock in the room showing the teacher how smart they are. The rest just sit there "spell-bound" or more often than not just lost in the whole maze. The most ridiculous part of this is we all pay for it!


More lies from the lying trumpets so sad!!!!!😘


SWA operates the wrong kind of metal.  The 737-700/800 are too heavy and the CFM-56 engines take too long to cool.  HA has the right airplane for interisland flying.  The 717, as old as they are, is HA's ace in the hole.


You mean a population of free cash donations for people that have nothing to do with Canada?  It's fun to dream, but most of the time, reality bites you in the ass.


another biz bites the dust! this is truly sad that we're losing folk again to economic failings. best wishes on you new paths! 🐋


Cool. If you're going to rebuild out there, it may as well be as sustainable as possible. I wish you luck. I like Arctic Village's CCHRC-designed homes too.


Great hair though.


Boyden has been suspect but race is a very complicated issue in the FN world. I invite you to read the entire story about Boyden that was in the Globe on Sat.

Younger people think that things like arthritis aren't real. They think you are just being soft on yourself when you should be kneeling on a bed of nails. I wouldn't be able to get up either, at least not without quite a pause for everyone else.

- it re-established the French language rights (got it Anglo Canada ?);
-+ Catholic faith;
-+ French civil law...”
(It’s (almost) « a State into a State », oui ?)
It also began what was to become a tradition in Canadian constitutional history – the recognition of certain distinct rights,
or protections for Québec –in language, religion and civil law.
Justin Trudeau;
"...The Liberal party of Canada recognizes that given the unique character of Québec society, the Government of Québec has specific responsibilities. If my party is brought to power, Canadians can be assured that my Government will respect this reality and work with enthusiasm, together with your Government, to promote the French fact and the Québec culture, to Canada and abroad-
also, it's part of who we are as Canadians..."

Without Québec, NO CANADA !
Without Québec, NO USA !
False or true ?


Old Soul has an old mind.


I am quoting from a previous comment 'as a nation we prefer the politics of entitlement ... with zero responsibility.'  That is the kind of truth that stares us in the face. An 'overall' / general truth. The sum of the behaviour patterns of millions of people. But do all South Africans behave that way? I am not going to tell you how my family who came to this country from Germany in the late 1700s have always been productive and payed their taxes. That is not neccessary. Simple mathematics shows us that an entire population can not be non-productive (or depend on the economic production of others). If, per definition, there are no others. But this is pushing the argument too far. We know there are still producers of wealth. The worrysome fact is that the number of wealth-producers seem to be a dwindling.


Congrats to Concentric Sky! This is a great opportunity and a just cause!

Pretty tough to expand markets for commodities when every effort to build  the necessary export infrastructure is stymied by internal obstructionist screamers.

Time to put the Big Boy pants on and decide: are we a nation that will pay the price to stand on its own feet, or not?


There was already a tax cap.  The difference in the method of calculation doesn't amount to much, and actually encourages the assembly to tax to the cap to ensure maximum available the next year.


#FakePresidentCantHandleTheJob


The Ninth Circuit decision will be overturned by the SC. Eighty percent of their cases are.

From the Washington Post: By accepting the use of preelection statements to impeach and limit executive policy, the 9th Circuit is taking a dangerous step. The states’ argument is in essence that Trump is a bigot, and thus his winning presidential campaign in fact impeaches him from exercising key constitutional and statutory powers, such as administering the immigration laws.

The opinions clause in the Constitution is a protection for free speech. Candidates Left, Right and Center will chill their campaigns if this is allowed to stand. I believe the count will be 8 - 0 to reverse the 9th's decision.

Also. look at Arizona trying to curtail illegal immigration. The court ruled that Obama had the power as Executive to make immigration policy, not the States or the Judiciary.


I don't hold this as an absolute, but I do think there's something to the notion that 100 years in the development of a religion is analogous to one year in the development of a person. Islam, which was founded in the early 7th century, is going through something of an "adolescence" right now in terms of its place on the world stage. It's just about where Christianity was in the early Renaissance period.

It took a fair amount of trauma for the Church to finally let go of the expectation that it should play a central role in civil government. I expect the same will eventually come to pass for Islam. In the meantime, the best thing we can do in the West is to stay true to our stated ideal of religious tolerance and impartiality under the law. Otherwise, we lend support to what the Islamic hardliners say about us -- that our democratic ideals are just for show.


The Liberal's are putting themselves on the fast track back to third place status, If they don't follow through with that other big promise they made by next spring, I'll have to vote for the NDP instead next election.


The situation described in the headline is actually the perfect situation for Jason Kenney.


Look, some of us just want a candidate we can kick back and do shots of goats' blood with.

I am assuming a sequel is in the works, then?


You are clearly not getting this. To challenge a mistaken assertion is not to "shut down" debate, it's kind of integral to that debate. In reality, it seems as if you are the one attempting to limit debate by objecting to that challenge. Is your idea of debate a format in which you talk without interruption? Come to think of it, wasn't it you who had a habit of blocking commenters under your previous posting persona? That would be shutting down debate.

Keep in mind that this "debate" bit is only in the informal, popular realm. There simply is no such debate in the scientific community. "Debate" in science exists in a rather more formal process. And as that formal debate has existed for over a century, it is really pretty much over among scientists. That would be that whole consensus thingy. You would be hard-pressed indeed to find a scientist from that "side" that you advocate so strongly for...not because they have been "ostracized", but because they have been shown to be incorrect.


It is the Feds responsibility. They appointed themselves trustee and made First Nations wards of the crown. If you want to gripe about anything, that is it. it is 2016, the feds still impose that legislated racist relationship (Indian Act)  since 1870 that has been 'the rule of law'.
The Indian Act says that First Nations are not allowed to do anything on reserve without the Indian Agents approval.


Restaurants and hotels near the falls are already outrageously overpriced, and have always been much more expensive that what little is on the US side of the river.  One can only see the main attraction from the Canadian side, and that is not going to change any time soon.


In Lane County, over 100,000 (out of our population of 350,000) is on Medicaid. You can be above the poverty line and still qualify for Medicaid. The ACA expanded eligibility. In rural areas, it can be up to 40% of the population that is on Medicaid. We'll be hit hard.


Revolution?   What do you say to the part of the 1% who actually created their own wealth Doug?  My parents, a baker and a lab tech both scrimped and saved to send me to a private school.   I was lucky there but then my dad died early and I have and continue to work my tail off to just keep myself at the 0.99%'ile.   I'm one of those guys who makes what you would call a 1% income but I sure as heck don't feel rich.  HANDS OFF anything my mother leaves me and anything I leave to my heirs!


This article is quite biased against fossil fuels and for renewable energy and the Paris climate agreement. I agree that not many jobs will be added by fossil fuels extraction versus renewable extraction. But the cost of renewable energy is much much more than fossil fuel energy. The big job gains will come from manufacturing and industry due to the lower cost of fossil fuel energy. This will certainly give America an advantage in the future in manufacturing and industry using low cost energy  versus other countries that rely on high cost renewable energy, which means American jobs!!


Rest In Peace, sir. Your images shaped waiting rooms and offices in this town for a generation, and inspired many with the power of minimalism.


Cops: stop whining and do your jobs.  I’m sure when push comes to shove you would rather spend four hours sitting in front of a video screen reviewing tapes than 60 seconds being on the store floor during a firefight.


"...and living off other people's money. "

He will do well in politics, then. Do you think Obama, the House and Senate live off of THEIR personal accounts? LOL.


The best retirement project is to create a space to which you love and gardening has a way of creating smiles for all to enjoy


This idea sounds logical, but the problem is that the time they spend doing this time they cannot spend getting education/training or actually looking for living-wage employment.  These kinds of requirements make public assistance a trap for those in need.


We've seen it time and again, yet the ease with which a US president can wipe the media clean of criticism against his administration never ceases to amaze me. Just identify an external threat. Even the press that's hostile to the president has to along with it.

In America's polarized politics, media that's for or against the president alienates half the available viewers. But media that focuses on some claimed external threat gets everyone listening. All the president's bad news disappears, while his steadfast stand against some foreign danger looks like heroism in the public's eye.

I'm not picking on Trump here. Obama did it before him, and Bush and Clinton did it before that. What I'm pointing out is the myth of the 'free press' in the West. While the media may be financially independent from government, governments can so easily bend it to their will that effectively the media isn't free at all.


Well, they're calling it a homicide and they have a 14-year-old in custody related to this homicide.  And they refer to the 14-year-old as a suspect. That's some pretty significant information, I wouldn't call it a smidgeon.


I don't know if the government truly wants to implement this,but with all the articles mentionning the possibility of it, they are going to benefit from a windfall this year a lot of folks are preemptively cashing in some gains as we speak.
Obviously the true wealthy will not be impacted as he has parked his money in trusts and other tax shelters
On another subject, I am surprise that there is no talk of an inheritance tax.... maybe it is because Mr Morneau and Trudeau inherited their money ....


No, that's not true at all.  That's like saying cars don't accidentally get in to a wreck, that it takes a purposeful act of a human for the cars to collide.  If you are handling a gun, it slips out of your hand, you reach out to catch it, but hit the trigger on accident, that's one of the many possible definitions of an accidental discharge.


Too bad MSB also had the gall to add some special interest and inadequately vetted 'riders' on the Recreation Bond, too. That's going to be a mess. Voters were not properly informed.


Senator Dunleavy failed to answer a request to try to adjust how 40 year old bed taxes rules are implemented in the Mat Su.
Does the Mat Su really need a new visitors center in Palmer paid for with bed taxes?
Dunleavy calls himself a conservative yet supports spending on state dream projects.
Dunleavy is just another "professional politician" trying to go with which way he thinks the political wind is blowing and could care less about the people he is suppose to represent.


You could be describing the auto show, though it's usually in January.


Mr. Muavetz's letter doesn't even deserve an answer.  It's an example of the very weak efforts of the Trump supporters to undercut the tremendous support for Ms Clinton from all minorities.  Mr. Trump's most recent rant in Phoenix gives us some idea of the approach he would bring to the Presidency.  Efforts to distract from Mr. Trump's obvious racism and attack the Democratic Party's history of working to advance the cause of equal treatment and equal opportunity for all minories simply won't fly.


Drink!


Last one leaving Ontario, please turn off the lights.

Oh, wait...

This is nothing short of a national tragedy. McGuinty and Wynne should be in jail for what they have done to the province where I was born, lived/worked and paid taxes for most of my life.

My grown sons & I bailed-out of Ontario for Alberta over a decade ago, because we saw the writing on the wall.

And now, Little Potato and Notley are targeting Alberta for the same fate. Notley is pitching the same garbage here as McGuinty was back in Ontario a dozen years ago. "A new, diversified economy - an endless steam of jobs based on the new green economy - and with cheaper non-coal electricity!"

It's nothing but lies.

All lies...


check spelling of ad nauseam


Deutsche Welle's Shamil Shams:-

"One year after the Cologne attacks, I stand by my argument that political Islam and Western liberal values are not compatible. I still believe that the migrant influx ultimately disturbs the harmony and balance of German society. In fact, 2016 has proven that German society and the European way of life have suffered immensely due to the government's "open door" refugee policy.

"More than 1,500 police officers will be deployed on New Year's Eve in Cologne to make sure that last year's assaults - when more than 1,000 women were sexually harassed by hundreds of young men allegedly of North African and Arab descent - won't be repeated. It is saddening and outrageous. It is proof that the German way of life - people's longing for fun and festivity - has already been compromised. The fear of harassment has taken over the free spirit of Germans, and I find it very unfortunate."


Doctors will be pleased. They face a higher tax rate so Trudeau can subsidize Bombardier which pays their executives in $US, sells airplanes to other countries at below cost, and transfers profits, sorry government "investment $",  to lower tax jurisdictions like Ireland. Sounds "fair" to me. The world needs more Canada. The Liberal version of Canada First?


If you want a laugh, go back and read Cohen’s jeremiad from March 4, 2016, “Trump is running against history” about all the reasons that Trump could not be elected president. Mr Know-it-all was very proud of citing his historical precedents for why Trump couldn’t win but being the Clinton bootlicker that he is, totally oblivious to the historical precedents that suggested Hillary Clinton couldn’t win. There has never been a presidential candidate who won who was guilty of multiple violations of the Espionage Act and fortunately that tradition was maintained. This no doubt accounts for the virulence of his contempt for Trump in this column. Trump has already made Cohen look like a fool by winning an election by a big margin election in the electoral college when the so-called expert said history was all against him.


I see, you are casting Assad now as "defender of the faith"? He is a war criminal. No "Christian" would support Assad and neither should any true Muslims. The "pipeline" conspiracy story lacks only wizards and quidditch for inventiveness.* The Assad family and its clan have remained in power in Syria since 1971 through murder. Their time is up.

more elitist snob liberal bs as usual, blind to the fact that a real leader has dealt with asad on his crimes unlike the coward in chief obama who threatened then hid in the basement doing nothing


Oxy-contin is. So are Vicodin, Demerol, and many others. Many people move to street drugs like heroin after they can no longer find a doctor to prescribe these medications. The doctor gets them hooked, albeit unknowingly; the street dealer reaps the windfall from that, and the taxpayers pay the inevitable consequences. These are the gateway drugs that marijuana never was.


What we will really see is probably the following:

- Sometime in the late summer/early fall Justin Trudeau will prorogue Parliament.  It is fairly normal to do this about halfway through a 4-year term.
- Once the new session starts the Liberals will lay out a (very?) rough outline of a plan to change the electoral system AFTER the 2019 election... should they win
- Some more study might be done and maybe some more paperwork but no real change will be implemented prior to 2019
- For the 2019 election the Liberals will, once again, promise that it will be the last election held under the 'first past the post' system
- Rinse, wash, repeat


Did you catch the news where some Sate Trooper said " we don't go after speeders on the hi way unless they're doing 75 or more."?


Just a comment that yesterday morning, CNN reported there were 2500 transgenders in active service. That night, it was 4000. This morning, CBC reported 12,000 and a guy in a dress in North Carolina claimed it was 15,000+ .  They're pulling numbers out of thin air.  Reason I post: dressing in a toga, costuming as an "Arab Male", dressing as Liza, Chér, Celine or Elvis, a girl in blue jeans and a t-shirt, or a man-suit and pants is NOT transgendered.  Choice of one's costume does NOT change one's gender, nor the bathroom/shower they're expected to use!


"Soft on crime."  If one of you good folks ever got arrested and charged, you'd fulminate about how badly you were treated by the police, who actually handcuffed you.  How nobody at the jail listened to your needs.  How exorbitant your bail terms were.  How your public defender didn't seem to care about your case. How the judge seemed bored during your trial and just wanted to hurry things up. How the prosecutor put on perjured testimony to convict you.  But, of course, you wouldn't be guilty, like all those cretins you read about here.


I deeply admire President Obama for executing bin Laden, and for his full support in usage of the drone.  This is a President who saved countless lives, as a result.


I departed business in a similar manner to you, made all GST/CPP/EI remittances and got out with my backside intact. 20 years, dozens of employees, built up about  $500K in retained earnings (little RRSP's) but ended up burning them up to pay out staff severance.

It's not about tax breaks, Rich. It's about the grievous notions that government will heavily confiscate one's proceeds from intense, risk taking ventures. Ventures which are vital to Canada.  This country has 5 million people who work in small business. Those entrepreneurs  have none of the  protection of the public sector or unionized private sector. You and I both know the inordinate risks business owners take.

I was one of a dozen speakers at a large private technology business function recently.  It was so encouraging to see that, upon a show of hands,  almost 100% of attendees emphatically stated they will NOT vote Liberal in the next election.  Upset within business is palpable, thankfully.


Bombardier CEO states "Hey, we are very confident that the Federal and Quebec governments will continue to pour money into this sinkhole we call a going concern.  That, in turn, will allow the company to pay the Bombardier's family its dividends, which is all we are really concerned about."


I really don't understand the importance of hand-written work.  It is the thinking and the analysis that is important.  Good handwriting is really not a predictor of intelligence or goodness or high moral values.


Canada's engineering and innovation in the oil sands has been world class, economically productive and vital for tax production.  Reclamation and restoration of these deposits is active, even aggressive in places.  The net CO2 produced per barrel of oil sands crude, while slightly greater up to refining is eclipsed by the CO2 production/per barrel of US sweet crude from fracturing when the huge amount of CO2 from methane flaring is added, never mind fugitive gas.

US gas flaring has increased from 100 million CU Ft in 2003 to about 300 million cu ft in 2015 ( a little lower after oil price declines till now).  In contrast, From 1996 to 2014, there was a 63 per cent reduction of natural gas flared in Alberta.
 https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/u-s-has-more-gas-flares-than-any-country/

So what do you want Dante1969?  Well regulated, productive energy from Alberta or hugely increasing oil+gas fractured across the USA leading to massive flared methane volumes? wake up!


Care to elaborate on your closing sentence Artie?


It's called dignity and people have a basic human right to it.


Sorry to confuse, the first Gulf war was exactly that, a war. I am lamenting the fact that our "leaders" have lied to us and taken us into repeated conflicts that we were ignorant of culture and langrage and have left our troops without the resources they need. Defining winning seems next to impossible. Before we went to Iraq the CIA warned about the three main groups and the three are still there and creating problems for the others just like they said would happen, in Afghanistan the Taliban are just waiting for us to leave as we support one puppet govt after another, just like Nam. There are plenty of tribal divisions there that prohibit a unified country.
In Nigeria the fighters from Mali pulled out because we branded them terrorists, they were doing a good job FIGHTING terrorists in Nigeria, will we have more losses? Is this our fault?

Time to take a look at all the small University of Alaska "satellite" schools across the state and decide if they are economic or not. Seems to me we could close those small and very costly endeavors and give each student a full scholarship and bring them to a main campus.


So yellin, you were on these boards rationalizing/defending Harper back when he was traveling on government business?


Voter, maybe you've never seen first hand the relationship Jansen and Tillerson (CEO of Exxon) have.  You would not see it in Alaska.  You'd have to travel a bit internationally to see it first hand.

The fact is Alaska is being bankrupted by the theft of our oil- presently $9.5 billion per year- free of any severance tax.  The $3.5 billion dollar deficit Alaska has will bankrupt our state as soon as the savings are gone.  A substantial part of that deficit is the $700 million in corporate welfare Alaskans will be giving Exxon, BP, and COP.

The business Exxon throws Lynden is enormously valuable.

Quid pro quo.

http://www.lynden.com/lyndenpng/

Voters know NOT to trust Exxon.  That is why Big Oil brings in surrogates to do the dirty work of misleading voters and trashing good Alaskans running for office.


As long as the practice of selling or better still, bartering women for a few cattle (that is "LOBOLA") is condoned and even celebrated, patriarchy and all that goes with it will flourish to the detriment of the female gender.

Some of the essential air service subsidies are needed for down the chain,  but they are definatleynot need in the Bristol Bay region or the Bethel area.  The Federal government is so stupid that they recognize Grant Aviation in the Dillingham  and King Salmon area as the only airline that flys to the  Bristol Bay Region when in fact its a crock of shit.  There are about 25 small airlines out here that are not federally subsidized and these little airlines provide 90 percent of all the passenger service.  Grant Aviation is getting paid extra to compete with all the little guys.  What a scam.  More wasted taxpayer money


Ethics??? Don't we have enough government regulation as it is? Just wait! Pretty soon they'll be trying to teach that anti-American, socialistic rot in our schools also.


sorry now comes the real par - governing.


Justice is often blind!


The country just keeps moving backwards, while we bicker.


I agree with you. I have attended every town hall meeting that Micciche has been at, and after every one the reality of what has happened is quite different from what he said, and assured us, would be happening. It is smoke and mirrors and whoever believes these Senators at this point is just not facing reality.


How is the United States working out?  Stagnation is affecting the entire Western world.

And Europe's problems revolve around the use of common currency that doesn't work well for both advanced and non-advanced countries within the EU.  Nothing to do with PR.

"What grew out of the surviving democracies of Western Europe and North America after the Second World War has expanded to include scores of nations, on almost every continent, committed to broad principles of democracy, justice, human equality and international co-operation, around shared projects of prosperity, sustainability and security."

LOL.

The difference between the West's liberal mythology and its perpetual drive to the right wing is like day and night.
  Nice idea, though. The world invested a great deal of hope in these United Nations ideals, back in 1949.


Do you still have your kitties, Roy? If you do, you're feeding them meat.  You can't make "vegans" out of them.  What was that you were saying about "hypocrite"?  Aren't those innocent herring, capelin and anchovies that go into your cats' food "sentient"?  All those little fish were trundled aboard a factory vessel and sent down a conveyor still flopping into an OVEN, Roy!  Just to feed your CATS!  What was that you said about "boiling alive"?  Who are YOU to judge?  You don't wear sanctimoniousness well...


So what? The meme you and other here are circulating is that the Communist Party endorsed Hillary. Hence snopes's disclaimer that "The Communist Party of the USA did not endorse Hillary Clinton, but did encourage members to vote against her rival, Donald Trump."

I actually did watch the video and concluded the KKK guy was nodding out on heroin.

I grasp your point. Unfortunately, it's ridiculous, as has been demonstrated several times over in this thread alone. Meanwhile, you're a nasty piece of work, and I've nothing more to say to you.

The major hick up with giving Juneau unaccountable access to billions of cash, is it will be same as years past.

Get rid of bulk union votes, GCI interference and oil lobbyist. Then talk to me about more money. Juneau is like a OCD shopper. Closet full and still buying. They are idiots in action. They send the bills for government to us while money leaves the state.

Trump is a fool and an immature adolescent catering to other immature adolescents. Of course he should have stated that white supremists and Nazis are evil.  That stated, there's a little hypocracy going on here. The  left has indirectly (and probably directly) sponsored violent mobs in response to speakers, as an alleged organic movement due to claimed police misconduct, etc.  That's every bit as evil as what these jugheads did in Charlottesville.


Oh come on, this is OPNET and Clallam County sheriffs office, deals within deals, schemes within schemes, just let him walk out that revolving front door now and get it over with, we all know they're going to let him off anyway. Clallam county sheriffs office do a proper investigation, lock up a bad guy, do the job we taxpayers pay them to do .... why surely you jest! Keystone Cops at best, just look at the way they botched the Port Crescent Trading Company burglary in Joyce, several people told me the reason they intentionally botched the investigation was to protect OPNET snitches as they have done in the past. $15,000 I lost in that burglary and I cannot get a simple investigation by Clallam Sheriffs dept. I want my tax dollars back that I paid for police protection and investigation of my property. Benedict, you should be ashamed of your deputies, I know I am.


Not at all Rodney - I am suggesting that these so called priests, exactly became priests, because it will afford them the freedom and luxury to be paedophiles at will or use and abuse women.  They certainly did not do this IN the name of Christ - but they used it to commit their crimes.  Does that make God evil or man evil? It is disgusting what has happened throughout the centuries under the banner of religion (mainly under RC rule) But please lets be fair, what about  Communism (an atheist ideology) who wiped out MILLIONS of people, imprisoned, tortured because of their religion & non-compliance to(atheist) ideology. But this is always conveniently forgotten! Do you even know what is happening in places like North Korea, India and many other Muslim & secular countries right now?  CHRISTIANS & other non-compliants are being persecuted, killed, jailed & tortured daily! Read the Red Holocaust - 60M+ people killed by Marxism, that exclude the rapes and other atrocities!

Come on Wasilla! I think people who have been quietly and successfully using tiny cabins to benefit themselves and society are simply being iignored! What about me? I lived in a very tidy 8x12 cabin for an entire year! I saved 10 grand doing so and was able to afford to buy my first home with that savings in the early 1980s!  Over time I built that wealth and ended up purchasing a very large farm in Point Mackenzie with 22k sf! I went from working on a farm to an owner. I could have not acheived that by being a criminal and paying high rent. Open your eyes Wasilla. Alaska will benefit by allowing innovation to thrive. Remember those Alaskan pioneer mansions? Tiny cabins settled this land! Bob Ross is likely spinning in his grave!


Jim Cook , Sean Martin of POP and Kitty Simonds of WESPAC have spent a lot of time feathering their own nests.  Enough profiteering, resource exploitation and human labor trafficking.  Their is no honor is your conduct.  Shame be upon you.  Thank goodness for knowledgeable scientist at NOAA and the Department of Commerce , international leaders on the environment, informed politicians Schatz, Hirono and IGE,, media coverage and courage, Pew Foundation, native Hawaiians, cultural and religious leaders, activist Ritte, Aila and Thompson, the food industry and Sam Choy, environmentalist and concerned citizens for putting up a fight. Now, Mr. President Obama needs to sign the executive order to expand the monument.  Apo is upfront on this issue and looks like a straw man for the profiteers.  Cayetano, Aroyishi and Apo you have all given up a lot of good will and respect.  Each of you are finished as community leaders. Your words are shallow and you are either misinformed or delusional.


Jeffery, I'm a little confused. You site corporate tax and corporate income tax. Aren't they the same? And 31.5%? No state has a rate that comes even close to that. And we are the 3rd highest. Iowa has the highest at 12%.


Trump didn't help any. He just let congress do whatever and he was just waiting at his desk with a pen. He should have been out there to help his party even if they had to bring in the Dem.  Pack your bags Donald and take the rest of the family back to New York.


Joseph Boyden is a wonderful writer. Just as Archie Belaney was. There are similarities between the two. Both had been raised without the influence of a father.

I'm all for forgiving Boyden his deception, if he is willing to own up to them. If his friend's defence in The Walrus is any indication, Boyden doesn't want to admit anything. One who knows no shame cannot expect forgiveness.

I grew up reading the Norse sagas as that was my heritage. The sagas, like all literature, is all about who we are. They give elaborate genealogies, just like the ones in the Bible: So-and-so begat so-and-so and so on until we come to the present.

Joseph Boyden needs to tell the story of his own family. And he must stop hiding behind vague words about ties and connections when what is needed is great-great-grandmother or grandfather. If he's descended from Thomas Boyden of New England, he needs to say how.


If you paid attention to what she has done in the past, especially to Bill's old girlfriends and others (secret service) she didn't like. Her treatment of classified emails (she didn't understand because she slept through the briefings) then totally lied about. What has she ever done to make us trust her?  She and our failed race baiting president were the ones talking about nuking things as if it were something THEY were likely to promote.. Trump isn't stupid why would he blow up a zillion dollar enterprise??


This was all soft-ball, I have spent many months in the US, they have no ax to grind against Canada. When they do think of Canada which is rare, its like we are first Cousins and Canada is a great friendly country to visit. While NO fan of the Justin, the planing and ground work paid off  and it played out well.


I agree actually, my gray hair has gotten grayer, and my blood pressure has gone up, since Nov 8. I gotta let this stuff go. Worrying about Trump starting WWIII is out of our control. What happens, happens.


"mentally"

Oops.


"And what does believing his easily-disproved lies say about his supporters"?

That is what bewilders me. Many of my friends, who are in the 35% who support Trumpet, are very critical of any democrat who makes an outlandish statement only occasionally and yet Trumpet is not held accountable for his constant lying. And he never apologizes or asks for forgiveness. Don't they care about the disastrous impact this behavior has on our great and constitutional country's future? We must demand the TRUTH from our government leaders, and when they fail to perform as public servants, not dictators, we must peacefully and constantly resist them.
It is so hypocritical that he slanders the press for fake news and doesn't recognize his own lies.


I was surprised that Shaw did not pick up some of the crumbs in the recent BCE-MTS deal.  The government was desperate to force BCE to give free stuff to a 4th wireless provider. But Shaw dropped out, and they had to find some other non-player (Xplornet) to be the beneficiary of free stuff.  Shaw dropped the ball.
This is what happens in  family-run business.  Shaw needs professional management instead of a family member at the helm.  But won't happen as long as the old man is still the Chairman of the Board.

Really?  Who is banned?  Only Muslims.  There's an exemption for Christians.  The US already has a 2 year long process, perhaps the most rigorous in the world to screen refugees.  There is no comparison to Europe where refugees streamed across borders without controls.


I don't blame the wealthy for trying to minimize their taxes.   What I find offensive is that out of one side of their mouths Trudeau and his cronies say that small businesses and doctors are not paying enough tax and then they ensure their extremely wealthy country club buddies are protected from any meaningful reform.

Either wealthy need to may more or they don't....   But stop treating hard working small businesses differently from wealthy well connected liberal friends and donors.


"We banned machine guns in the 20's."

We did no such thing!  Fill out the ATF forms, get the FBI background check, pay your $200 tax per machine gun and you can own one, too!

As of February of 2016, there were 490,664 legal machine guns in private hands according to the FOIA letter from ATF.

We don't yet know if the apparently automatic weapon(s) used in this massacre were legal or illegal.

Either way, this is the first mass killing in the US to use an actual automatic weapon that I have seen reported.

My current car came with a heated steering wheel as a part of a package (heated rear seats etc) - so I got it by default since I wanted the rest of the package.    Previously, I never would have thought of wanting a heated steering wheel.     Now, having used it for a few years, I will always want one in any future car.

To explain - it's kind of like heated bathroom or basement floors.    It sounds like a silly luxury but once you actually install them and walk on them, you'll think they're the greatest thing.


GBA, I wrote my comment to KP, before I saw your comment.  But, it is really a quick timing point.  I've watched MANY times, and Trump moves his hand out of the way just before the FLOTUS is snatching at it.


Apparently so, but perfect timing for my new innovative device to replace the timely task of urination and defecation with a mobile, minature Aeration chamber and settling tank.

You voted for corruption and criminality to take power at the highest levels of our nation.


What you need is a majority of people committed to your objectives Lynn.   Once that happens, I think we can trust that history will provide us with a candidate that falls close to what would be your majority viewpoint.

The reality is that neither end of the political spectrum has majority support..   They  sustain themselves with a sense of self-rightousness in their cause.   That does not win elections.   Ultimately its action, not ideology that will move the nation forward.   We need 'universal' messages that stands seperate from political populism..

I support your writing Lynn, you do a great job finding a 'heart' viewpoint when the group might fall into political head butting.   Yours is the voice of those of seldom heard.   You do a service to those who lack power.  Write on my friend.


What kind of a country would this become? It is like going back in time. What will this country have to offer for women like me who truly love belonging to it but are ashamed of such acts by its leaders?

You like that free stuff, don't you, grifter.


That is sad. The last person who did very well and was just a normal person is Bill Clinton I think. If we pull together, accept that President Trump is our president, and help him, the rewards are ours. Not his. A healthy strong unified America must be our goal. It certainly is not the goal of foreign countries.


The best part "for me" is in the way they listed the names of the contenders, seeing Putz-ulu as the last is quite appropriate. Had this guy been selected Chief then HPD would have gone back even further into the good ol boys style of doing business.  We escaped a close one...thank god

You are correct, the 2002 Charter has been very effective.  People constantly point to it as evidence the US bishops have changed their tune and no longer cover up abuse to protect the church from bad publicity.  In this it was probably an inspiration for the commission, which was intended to serve a similar function: provide the appearance of doing something, while engaging in the same old conduct.  A better approach might be for the pope and bishops to actually do what Christ would expect of them and stop engaging in the evil of protecting child rapists, even if that means bad press.  But, instead of being disciples of Christ, I guess they will remain disciples of the institution.


No, LM. Have an honest debate about them and then do the right thing voluntarily.


These criminals are becoming desperate to keep themselves fed at the trough of public funds.  They are incapable or rational argument.  All they can do is hurl what they have been shown to be guilty of back to their critics in a vain attempt to distract  attention from their evil deeds.  Jail, Jail, Jail.


A FRIEND OF MINE WAS DEPORTED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO .

THE LAWYER WAS CAUGHT FALSIFYING PAPERWORK FOR A CLIENT SO THE INS
ROUNDED UP ALL OF HIS CLIENTS , REVOKED THEIR VISAS AND DEPORTED THEM

IN BOTH CASES , HE WAS WORKING AGAINST OUR COUNTRY .


He's been gearing up for a war against Shi'ite Muslims in Yemen and Iran, maybe Lebanon too.


Clay,
Interesting that you mentioned the question about government support when jobs disappear due to innovations such as robotics. In Hawaii a legislator just introduced a bill to try to get a law if not a discussion going about that very real scenario. What I said, if you go back and read it, is that the working poor voted for Trump because of the despair they feel at working hard and not being able to provide a better life for their families then what their parents had.
Trump hit a cord with those folks, no so much because they are racists or a bunch of ignorant bigots. They are scared and frightened about how they are going to provide for their families.
Putting honest thought to the scenarios you mention is something that should be happening. Encourage more people to return to farming ? Provide educational opportunities for robotics now ? Look at the technology of the future now and implement programs NOW to empower people for the times that are a coming.
Survive Trump.


looks like we got us a couple of color blind rocket scientists.


Sadly, your perception of reality and reality don't square. Did you know that trees don't make the wind blow?


Thanksgiving means more this year because we as a United Nation have shown what the United State is created of.  We are a country of immigrants, blended, woven over time to be who we are.  Our voices speak out, that is what Freedom, what this Country core is, let the Voices be Heard. Franklin Roosevelt said this, "Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended  from immigrants and revolutionists."


Not sarcastic at all. You'll notice that instead of responding to each falsehood, I simply urged everyone to actually follow the links, read the articles, watch the videos, for themselves. This is because most people don't - and they take as true any article that provides links, reasoning (falsely) that if the author provided links, his assertions must be true. But if you follow the links for yourself, and read/listen to what is actually said, you'll find that they do not back up the narrative of the author.   I know that in some circles it's "hip" to denigrate CM and MV, but I have found that most of the people who do so have formed that opinion based only on someone else's opinion - they have never investigated the media for themselves. I did, and I fact-checked everything they said for a long time. I found them to be truthful, faithful, and thoroughly, authentically Catholic.


That is why the license is really a regressive tax:  it is most affordable for those who put the most miles on it.  In reality,  the license  ( tax)  is just a way to employ more people,  take their mandatory union dues for greasing Democrat campaign skids,  and an almost guaranteed Blue State Democrat vote.  Perpetual Political Motion Machine.  All you need to do is add more money each year to keep it running.  Thus,  gains in income and taxes are never enough to maintain a government whose cost expands faster than the economy.


Death.  It means death.


Sympathetic to an "ism" - how quaint.


Most people say: "is it true or did you see it on CNN".


Perhaps we could again respect the words chosen and spoken by Our Lord Jesus Christ at the Last Supper. Jesus pronounced: "Take this CUP" and not "this chalice" which the self-appointed Roman Vaticrats apparently considered a great improvement over the words  deliberately spoken by the Son of God on the eve of His ultimate Sacrifice. Following Vatican II, I clearly recall being deeply moved at first hearing the actual words of Our Lord during the Consecration. Perhaps time to respect us (we the Laity) and stop relying on brainwashing embellishments when the original is much more powerful in its authenticity.


The fleecing of the public started in 2008 and continues under Caldwell, the least trusted Mayor of all time.  As a business owner I pay hundreds, monthly in additional GE tax and it's ridiculous that there is no fiscal responsibility or accounting for a project long out of control.  The city bet the farm on this,now $10B project and it's likely that there will be nothing left to ever do anything but rail no matter where it's stopped because of the operating costs.  Those that where in charge and responsible should face criminal charges of theft for this complete rip off and we can start with Mufi and Crooked Kirk.  We are way too small a populace for heavy rail and socially too dependent upon cars to get around.  Unlike Europe where the public grows up on mass transit, we are a society heavily dependent on the car to get from place to place.  We do not like to walk, or ride bikes.  We drive.  HART doesn't want an audit or to provide numbers because it will reveal the sad truth.


Trudeau is nothing but corruptions
lol, this scumbag and his father praise the murderous/dictator Fidel Castro. "Trudeau government allowing huge deal with Saudi Arabia despite human rights abuse concerns" - the left are full of jokes on them!


Actually, what Jesus said here (John 10: 26) is:  "You do not believe because you are not my sheep."  Besides inverting the phraseology, you have also inverted the meaning of the message, the better to fit your polemic.  But your polemic does not fit this passage, and is also at odds with Jesus' Bread of Life discourse (see John 6:36-39).


Jeffrey is spot on. bill proposed a "solution" that he knew would not pass in the legislature allowing him to blame them for everything and ensure a tough election for incumbents.

Why? A whole new group of clowns down there might agree with his one and only agenda--the big gas pipe dream! he couldn't get the current legislature to fund his $65 Billion debacle, so he's trying to get them booted out and lean on the next group. Freshmen legislators may not be as inclined to take on the gov.

bill reminds me of Mel Brooks in Blazing Saddles--incompetent and hell-bent on building a project. I think he should wear a suit jacket with "GOV" painted on the back.


In the 11th Century Islamic mathematicians gave the world "zero", and still do.


Those of us who live in Vancouver all know that foreign ownership is far more than 6%. Even the media is reporting on this. Too bad corrupt policitians like Christy Clark backed by developers continue to turn a blind eye to foreign speculation and money laundering through real estate. THe median income is around $60K and with housing far over a million on average it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that foreign influence is driving the market. Where did BC Finance Minister Mike Dejong get the money to buy 8 investment properties in BC? No corruption? lol


What Is Groupthink?

Groupthink occurs when a group values harmony and coherance over accurate analysis and critical evaluation. It causes individual members of the group to unquestioningly follow the word of the leader and it strongly discourages any disagreement with the concensus.


Americans would be smart to just stay home, now the Islamic terrorists will be looking for Americans in every place they go, and I would expect to see a huge increase in the lone wolf ISIS terror attacks in America.  You voted for Trump and did not think of the unintended consequences.


I guess they only show up on DP posts but clearly not in the WH, Senate, Congress, Governorships, and State Houses. As an Independent, I've enjoyed watching the epic implosion of the Demos. Just a morally bankrupt horde. America's Mujihadeen to be sure.


Justin has been friends with the Aga Khan long before he was an elected official.  Why can he not enjoy the use of a helicopter owned by a long term friend.  Being PM shouldn't preclude having friends and being allowed to take  vacation.  Btw, I am no fan of Justin's but this time I just don't see the problem this time.


After the media coverage and issues over the past 8 years I would sue too, he's not threatening to sue over what they are saying but rather over what they are not saying. And just because there isn't enough of this info going around look up "Dhimmitude" and it's placement in "Obamacare".


Yep it sounds like the spoiled brat who is forced to apologize but doesn't really mean it. His tweets reveals his sinful soul.


Contracts can always be broken or renegotiated.  Ask Donald Trump...


No, it's those on the intolerant left that are the problem.


Sambo 42 (Sambo?????? Is this the U.S. circa 1917,when my Detroit,Mich.-born mother,who would have been 100 Wednesday,was born???),Mr. Trump,who was a sleazy (and racist,look up some of his dealings in his apartment complex) "businessman" before befouling the U.S. White House,is fully consonant with an era in which Mr. Simpson may yet capitalize on his notoriety.


Ho.  Local bruddahs have been testing pakalolo and effectively and efficiently grading it for choke decades already.  More cheap and easy for let them do it.


This is just a very nasty letter.  There is a Katie Lynch who is the Co-director of the Undergraduate Adviser Environmental Studies;  Environmental Leadership Program, which makes this letter suspicious.

https://envs.uoregon.edu/reference/staff/

Since Emily Semple's campaign seems to be picking-up momentum, while Skov's is flat-lining if not in decline, is this letter a desperate move by the Skov camp?   And was it written by Skov, who solicited one of his colleagues to submit?


Just need to bring some context to the SPUR branch in Rietfontein. If it is the branch I am thinking about then the drop in revenue cannot be totally assigned to the boycott. I have lived near that Spur my whole life. That Jacaranda Center where it is located has always been a frustrating place to visit but people kept on going there because they had little other options. The parking is the worst you'll find anywhere, the store layout is totally unpractical and the roads surrounding it is always congested. Coupled with this is current refurbishment work on the center which makes the experience even more frustrating.

Blaming the 45% drop in revenue wholly on the boycott is inaccurate and only fuels the motivation for Front Nasionaal. Maybe Morne Brown needs to look at the actual business case of the location of his store.


It keeps the market way more stable/balanced than Toronto and Vancouver. Not such a bad thing after all.


Where do you see "religious" and "traditional" in my comment? Point it out!

Don't try to "think" and tell me what you suppose I think. I wrote clearly what I think.

Or is it your custom to imagine, and/or project personal mental images into what you read or observe?  Is this your approach to objective reality? Do you equate it with your personal presuppositions, desires and mental images? Scary stuff!


I've been saying for years that blacking out games shrink the fan base. Young kids that never see a game will never be interested. The older crowd that used to watch on TV have a sense of loyalty to UH. No exposure means no one cares. UH always had marketing problems


I guess the opposition to Trump prefers not to even have a chance to have a voice at the table. I doubt Kalanick would have been much of a voice, but responding to your "discomfort" in this way accomplishes little.


Guess it's time that we should all just move on...what a depressing article. But, I don't see it happening the way you have portrayed business in Alaska. Just last September/October there was definitely an uptick on several entrepreneurial business fronts...whether that uptick keeps moving, I'm not sure. Yes, gone are the copious number of slick financial brokers, less slopers are traveling from Idaho or the Kenai Penin., instead real business is beginning to take root that is not driven by overinflated fuel prices or excessive public funding.


Read the story about the  camel in the tent.


I see the interested parties are laying the groundwork to make the  argument for paving over the greenbelt.


Nobody is advocating the extermination of the white race or men.

That's the lie they use to radicalize the simple-minded in support of their chauvinist ideology.


because "simple stupidity" may be the biggest danger of all.


Nope.....Russian bot.

The prospect of all those bankers, MBAs , financial advisors , etc scrambling for a job , and potentially cutting each others throats to get those jobs ...... I dunno...
Just doesn't bother me somehow.


Jeanne Foy - Big cuts in government spending will cause a recession?

And you don't think big cuts in the amount of money people take home in their paychecks won't cause a recession?

Economic ignorance on display.


I don't need to. You know exactly what I am talking about if you've read as much as you say about Officer's and their training.


Pretty different situation, since most people with immune issues or illness avoid the cup.


The claim of persecution will be against their home country, not the USA.

Whether or not they are Convention Refugees will be determined by the Refugee Protection Division for those eligible to make refugee claims.  If they are not Convention Refugees then Canada is not obligated to offer protection.

I recall the two vessels arriving with Tamil migrants claiming refugee status from Sri Lankan persecution and the same allegations of them being economic migrants was being made.  And the result?  Most of them have been determined to be refugees.

There is a loophole be exploited and the law skirted but it is the government by the  Safe Third Country Agreement exploits a narrow and technical loophole in the law set out in Singh v Canada (Minister of Employment and Immigration), [1985] 1 S.C.R. 177.  That case held "everyone" in Canada has s. 7 Charter rights (and that includes person illegally in Canada.  Technically a person at a Port of Entry is not "in Canada" so back to the USA.


I am so sick and disgusted with all of our politicians. Please remember this session of do nothing and scare people to death or losing their jobs and state shutdown. Vote them all out and start over with people who can get the job done and work together for what is best for all Alaskans. We need a plan for long term fiscal stability not based on using up all our savings or on the politicians getting re-elected. They have put our bond rating at risk which can cost of millions.  We just keep giving money and do not hold our legislators accountable. If we ran our private sector  business's  like they are running the states business we would be out of business.


Many of your doubts would be put to rest after a short test drive. I recommend it.


Prime example why you should categorically vote NO on all judge retentions.   Alaska always retains them with about 60% yes'.
Turn them over until we get decent ones that enforce the law and the will of the people.


Wouldn't that be something to have a bear rug hanging in the room you shot the bear in?!

you may be right, but if  Morneaus attacks small business and professionals , let him go after family trusts too. At least then he has some credibility

Never understood why that should be a bad thing. Why can't a rich person be a liberal?


You are correct it was the NUMMI plant in California that was with Toyota.

That being said, the plan for the plant was to move to a more Japanese build process, and If my memory is correct they didn't unionize at the beginning until GM had purchased the entire facility.


Joe Bellm should have been in prison a long time ago. He is one of those criminals who will never change.


If the Baker family entourage at the Register Guard thinks "conspiracy theories" are about Finicum and Malheur, they are missing the big picture for all the pixels... "Conspiracy theorist" was a term coined to ridicule the people who questioned findings of the Warren Report. Yet info about Kennedy's murder remains classified top secret?

Former Press Sec. Robert Gibbs admitted on live video that he was ordered to deny the drone program existed, when news of the program was public already. He joked "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain." How many times can known liars be caught lying before even the truths they tell are suspected as lies? Crying wolves.

These kleptocrats drag a long train of abuses, ranging from war crimes, Imperial regime change hegemony, to poisoning and genocidally murdering it's own citizens. The RG believes it can put lipstick on monsters and present us with beauty queens. No information will ever be enough to cover up for the crimes of Imperial USA.


Nonsensical!


All women want to talk about on the news/talk shows is Weinstein, Weinstein, Weinstein, Weinstein.  We get it! Now, I heard a male celebrity claim that Weinstein touched him inappropriately or something. If he has a lot of money, he must have molested me too.


I can't get past the first paragraph: this word "cadre" - the year is 2017, not 1917.


What an entirely heartwarming story; love of many kinds, despair and rebirth. Thank you Julia and best of luck to a brave, brave woman.


There's no question that the POTUS has broad constitutional authority to ensure the safety of the USA and its citizens. However it's completely unjustified for the Trump spokesperson to say that the judiciary can't rule on that order. In fact, it's precisely their job to rule on it if the order is challenged.

The reason why the order was challenged wasn't because it's a treaty or human rights violation. It was challenged by the states of Minnesota and Washington on the grounds that the order contravened states' financial rights. And in fact, it's clear that Trump's order would have a financial impact on some states. The legal question, however, is whether Trump's power to prioritize national security outweighs the rights of states to control aspects of their financial independence. I suggest that, especially given the temporary nature of Trump's order, that the final decision will be in his favour.


Good move,old school baby, let the parents tell their kids, it was a total waste of money, winning again!
