". . .  the president lit the White House in the colors of the rainbow flag when the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage and I can’t recall him doing anything similar for working class white folk. "

Really? As I recall, and correct me if I am wrong, the White House is lit up in white pretty much all the time.

That was a pretty clear expression of the "zero sum" game the neo-conservatives have been selling to "working class white folk" for quite some time to get working class whites to vote against their own economic interests.

To wit -- Any degree of "equality" in anything that is earned by a minority after years of activism must come at the expense of a privileged majority.


Hey Camp, if the reinstatement does not go well you can always get a job with the UCP! They are always looking for people like you!


Bavius : laughable, you disagree with something that's obvious! Kind of invalidates any and all of your comments even more! And that's obvious  too!


Very strange that Alceste even when presented with specific sections of code, can't comprehend what he's reading.  It's explicitly explained in trespassing and criminal code sections.  And yet he still try's to obfuscate in saying that no laws were broken.

It's apparent that there is no willful attempt at ignorance on his part, there is a total blind spot n comprehension that all laws apply to all Canadians.

Is this caused by liberal nature or liberal nuture?

Someone who will save the life of one of their clearly expendable vermin cats over yours is not to be trusted by any other human alive on this planet. Even cat-lickers can't trust their fellow cat-lickers to save each others' lives when it comes right down to it. Truth is, they'd even rather that their own family and friends die (if they have any) than any of their deadly disease-infested cats. Sociopaths and psychopaths, one and all, right to their very cores.


Seriously, if you're operating at a professional level will you think of career coach may be helpful then you're probably not competent enough in the first place. If you can't manage your own career how are you going to inside an organisation? A career coach is a huge red flag to anyone hiring. I'm speaking from some experience as a hirer.


Sorry, convict--between you and I, only one of us is frantically filling up these pages with comments under a plethora of silly pseudonyms in a childish bid for attention.  That would be you.

It appears you operate according to the concept that negative attention is preferable to none at all.  Perhaps consider feeding your cats more if you're feeling lonely.


Floyd Prozanski is our state senator...or are you just having another fit of disrespect for the man?


Are you blaming American race based slavery on black folks? The "underground railroad" ended in Canada. You can't handle the truth about your heritage. Of course, being white you are the beneficiary of the white racism and accompanying violence needed for your privileges in American history. I should have not said history. The racist violence is still current events.

Hopefully she spends sufficient time in the pokey.


I wish that it had been Bernie Vs Trump. There is a fight I  would have paid to see. At least it would not have been the snooze fest that Hillary gave us.


The PRC essentially invaded and occupied the most peaceful country on earth. If the PRC wanted to be respected by the international community they ruined that chance 60 years ago by invading Tibet.


Thanks for your excellent posts. I like facts.

I suspect a lot of the turnover is because the 1% are older and closer to retirement age.


In other news, the ceasefire in Southern Syria, brokered over the weekend by the US and Russia appears to be holding.  Syrians are also moving from refuge camps back into other areas liberated from ISIS.

But I am sure this latest nothing burger will feed the voracious appetites of the never-Trumpers.


Surprised the broflake didn't go straight to blaming the Jews and/or Soros.

I guess the Nazis are moderating their rhetoric somewhat while they play their insincere "free speech" card, and hoping just enough people will be duped about them talking about "communists".

Remember, if these people get their way, there will be no free speech. They are not the least bit sincere when they whine about "free speech".


There is strong evidence that the frequency and severity of hurricanes and typhoons is increasing.

Increasing frequency is the straw man. Increasing the intensity is what is being discussed along with sea level rise combined with the storm surge.


Is Bernier turning into Trump too? How many Trump wannabes does that make? Pretty rich for Cory Hann to be saying that he won't investigate without evidence when he has evidence as to which campaigns got hit when those 1400 memberships were canceled but won't release it. At this point, my feeling is that lots of the candidates and the party itself have been cheating! This mess makes the Conservatives' problems very deep indeed, IMHO.


Exactly. In order to obfuscate and distract, Doug readily publicizes some attackers were "from Christian families". Any mention or explanation of the very real problems behind the actual fundamentalist superstition responsible for the terror and that Canadians are prevented from rationally evaluating and debating,  are not mentioned.


Be careful what you wish for.  Consensus is Canada's position will be weakened with 'tweaking' of the agreement.


I have been in hiring situations where we have contracted with basic background check companies, and for a few hundred dollars, it is amazing what comes up.

All verified.

And when something comes up that is shall we say questionable, it is highlighted/bolded/underlined etc., and frankly, in print, looks unsettling...

Particularly if you have alternative candidates that are relatively spotless..

Sounds like Ottawa either needs a new company that does it, or it need to get a company that does it...

It does have a way of doing background checks, doesn't it?

(wait a minute, there is the RCMP, CSIS, and a raft of other resources the private sector could not even dream of.....wow.....)


I don't think the Millennials are responsible for the vast majority of gentrification.  The folks who are generally are older with young children.  And we get already that Millennials feel entitled to have everything they want.


Perps? Stereotyping doesn't help. Either does blanket profiling. It just makes the pool of their 'suspects' so unmanageable they need funding to look inside a baby's diaper just in case. Aren't we against gvmt waste? The data results they deem suitable for public consumption show they have accomplished little for all the theatre. We aren't doing it smart, have little to show for it except a massive loss of civil rights. And that's not even talking about domestic surveillance. I guess KK would have blamed that all on the current administration as well. But as we all know now that's all hidden patriot act post 9/11. If the false flag theories hold any water then we've been conned into as massive redirection of resources in lives, resources and public faith in our gvmt as pearl harbor.


Let's have it out, civil war.  Racists obviously don't understand they lost the first one, may the streets run red with their blood.


I guess that would be the same as being the leader of the ndp.


Why waste time and money from the libtards in California. He didn't need them to win the election anyway. Rest of the country gets it. Libtard progressive policies toward sociilaism doesn't work.


A boneville? Wow what a loser..


All you have to do is Google the Defense and VA budget, Kon.  But go ahead and keep your head buried where the sun doesn't shine.


The guilt by association is a tricky thing. While I don't think all the people who voted for President-Elect Trump are racist, misogynistic, Islamophobic individuals they did vote for a candidate that courted those individuals. FYI, I know a large group of Christians that are hoarding weapons and ammunition, look for the NRA sticker in their window, it doesn't make them a threat.


wiliki, I'd like to kick yout bucket.


The state has a "ConocoPhillips employees steer Alaska oil tax cut bill through Legislature" problem

http://www.adn.com/politics/article/series-conoco-employees-help-ease-oil-tax-bill-through-legislature/2013/03/28/

But the legislature should cut spending on megaprojects, the LIO, gaming the per diem...but they don't actually seem all that concerned about the budget "crisis" they created.

This is what made me realize they created the budget "crisis" on purpose, as an excuse to tap the Permanent Fund, a permanent goal they have had for years...

From Official Election Pamphlet 1999
"Vote no and lose your dividend. It will quickly disappear and the Permanent Fund will shrivel in value. We no longer have enough oil production to produce the revenues we need to keep vital state services flowing. Even if oil prices doubled, oil production is half of what it was just 10 years ago and continues to decline every day. Cuts alone will not close the budget gap and will not save your dividend"


The thing that's being ignored here is that this pipeline also runs to Cherry Point in Washington...which has 2 berths capable of handling much larger ships.
Once Trump is in, I bet we'll see the idea of Canadian exports from Cherry Point floated.


Meadows has played Trump and Ryan beautifully. Any future consensus on healthcare now has to go through his so called "freedom" caucus. Acceding to their demands will lose the bill Republican votes in the House and ensure it has very little chance of getting to 50 in the Senate. Paul Ryan is a failure as Speaker. Now that his poorly designed, universally panned disaster of a healthcare bill has been pulled we will hopefully read less about what a policy genius he is. I love how the Republicans are telling each other that this is actually a brilliant ninja move by Trump because now when Obamacare blows up it will somehow be all Chuck Schumer's fault. Complete control of Washington and all they have are poor excuses for failure.


Life is not always fair. Something is better than nothing!

Two, read and research everything before signing on the dotted line. Includes buying your house, disclosures and loan agreements, car purchase agreements and credit card charges....(Dare I say duh to those?)


Quotes from the Mad Dog himself:
"I don’t lose any sleep at night over the potential for failure. I cannot even spell the word."

"Find the enemy that wants to end this experiment (in American democracy) and kill every one of them until they’re so sick of the killing that they leave us and our freedoms intact."

"Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet."

"There is nothing better than getting shot at and missed. It’s really great."

"The first time you blow someone away is not an insignificant event. That said, there are some assholes in the world that just need to be shot."

"You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn’t wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain’t got no manhood left anyway. So it’s a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them. Actually it’s quite fun to fight them, you know. It’s a hell of a hoot. It’s fun to shoot some people. I’ll be right up there with you. I like brawling."

Word.


Heard he has lots of d'oh!


Seems like much ado about nothing....clearly the term, island in the pacific does not mean the AG did not know Hawaii is a State. Our congressional delegation is frustrated that they continue to be irrelevant and lash out at the smallest of things.


James Clapper disagrees with the CIA assessment (guessing) and said so in testimony.But you trust Brennan a Muslim to make these kind of  determinations?


Voting no on 20 makes sense. The few proposals of merit can be introduced by councilmembers in future years for approval by the voters. What is important that yes votes and no votes are counted. Blank votes are just that, they do not count.So regardless, if you do not want something to pass, you have to vote no. If you want something to pass you have to vote yes.


Please leave you bunch of "centralists" and then we can replace you with people who actually represent the republican voters.


"Other than a few right-leaning news outlets, that went unreported."

Haha, yeah sure.


which wouldn't have prevented that tragedy.  White wall tires...

Why pass laws that don't address the problem?


Need a citation about how they were brainwashed. Or do you think they exalt when cops kill unarmed blacks?


Yes, grasshopper.....in every opportunity there is a danger and in every danger an opportunity.......With President-elect we will have ample opportunities for danger.....


Yes... those hundreds of voters all huddled together to keep safe .... it amuses me that the post would waste time on the story .. but they want to make the current admin look bad so .. there you go


Greenpeace should be fully responsible for first making and then promoting  misleading defamatory claims. To now try to justify false and misleading claims  as " subjective opinion" is not sufficient.  They willfully support the use of lawsuits and injunctions to halt other organizations actions. I hope they get their head handed to them to instil a senses of responsibility into the environmental movement.


A recent documentary, Becoming Warren Buffett, gave some fascinating glimpses into this brilliant but complicated man.

Certainly he ranks amongst the richest men on the planet. He has developed, (via his deceased first wife according to Warren himself) a social conscience and will be giving away almost all of his fortune.

He certainly won't be spending much of it on himself, as he is also a personal miser, in one scene he is shown ordering a bare bones McDonalds breakfast, to the penny, with the money for the breakfast placed in his car ahead of time, in exact change,  by his present wife.

To him, it is sport, blood sport, to see that Berkshire stock continues to  appreciate.

He extols the miracle of compound interest, plus time and careful research, as the magic formula.

But to him, wealth is a number - and the continued accumulation of wealth far outweighs any pleasure from spending that wealth.

Buy and hold is fine. You'll die rich, on paper.

And then, you're just gone.


I'll say it again, if an 18-year-old can go off to Iraq and die in vain,  then 18-year-olds are old enough to purchase tobacco products.  If Oregon has a problem with tobacco then ban it.


Meltdown? I'd say more like a liberation.


That is white fragility.


We didn't know (common refrain from Mr Zuma himself), but the signs were surely obvious?

783 charges of fraud and corruption were clearly not enough for Mr Ehrenreich.

It takes two to tango sunshine, if Shaik did it, so did our good president.  Which incidentally your organisation was complicit in installing after the fact.  Too late to plead ignorance.

The nation is now 'lit' and simply won't/don't believe you.


Voting?  That should start at 21, too.

It is a lot easier to get a divorce, sell a lemon and buy a new car, quit a bad job and get another, recover from a poor educational choice, or move to another clime - than it is to quit smoking - when you get addicted (as most people do) at ages 11-15.


Looks like Scheer and the CPC will just be an Alberta party.


Big new bragging rights for subsistence target shooters.


That's a bit of an overreaction.

I can point out several things from the headlines this morning that are far more disturbing.


"She lied, and lied, and lied, and then she lied some more. And we're not saying that under similar circumstances a person wouldn't be prosecuted, because we've done so, and for a lot less! But this one, we're gonna let slide because reasons."
- James Comey

"She's the most qualified candidate for office since any of the founding fathers whose ideology she's diametrically opposed to, which is why I ran against her in 2008."
- That idiot in the White House

I'm just eating popcorn as we circle the drain. Wake me up when the torches and pitchforks are ready.


If you would have READ my response, which is based on experience and reality, you would have UNDERSTOOD that there are MYRIAD delaying tools that prosecutors have available and which they use with wanton frequency. It's cute, however, that you cite to the statute, yet you don't rely on the annotations and cited case law within the same statute.  Since you can't, or won't, I'll just go ahead and do it for you.
People V Guenther 740 P.2d 971 (1987) - procedural tolling allowed for newly proffered disclosures (sound familiar?) after erroneous finding of immunity
893 P.2d 107 (1995) People V Vega - tolling allowed while the people examine evidence proffered for an affirmative defense offered by Vega
946 P.2d 946 (1997) People V Gallegos - tolling allowed as the INTENT to appeal effectively counts towards the tolling prior to the states appeal, even when none is filed
.... If I had more space, I'd keep going. See how your dishonesty (or inability) doesn't work. Facts v fiction - very :(


It was the first thing I said. It was ridiculous. Therefore there's a higher chance of sarcasm. Especially if it's a flippant, condescending remark. I simply returned serve in kind, then got on to my actual comment...Which was exactly 4 words for those scoring at home...ahem.

It also infers irony. Trolling the troll. At some point it's a righteous act. You just had a comment removed before it was posted and claim you deleted it...lol...I mean c'mon man. Sometimes a spade is a spade. Some things just need to be said sometimes. I try to keep it cool and not take things so seriously. I try.

Saying things like this as the first thing you say.

"Since when is telling the truth disruptive?" I completely agree...

See how that works?


Rural character...I didn't realize that the State of Washington had declared Clallam County a retirement community.
You selfish old Boomers will do anything to kill industry and growth here. Future -Shumture...tourism...who wants a bunch of foreigners here...

What's it to you if I AirBNB my home? I need a permit from the county now? All because a bunch of mouthy, wealthy seniors don't like the IDEA of a large bed and breakfast near them?

So the proposal is to make it near impossible for anyone to rent or build anything?!

Good job guys.


Apparently you also have too much class to learn basic English grammar. Congratulations. If you're a US citizen, yes, he IS your president.


Can I get one? Seriously. I don't care for Justin but I'd love to have one of these for my den.


John McCain.  Pardoned by Nixon with 33 other POW's for charges of treason.  It's on the record.


They cause you more trouble on these forums.


"Conspiracy of cooperation" is another way of saying collusion, but collusion is not a crime so it must be called a conspiracy for the window dressing of a criminal investigation.


Thoughtful comment, Jason.  Short answer: That's why there's a graduated income tax.
Let's apply your logic elsewhere.  To fund our enormous military, it involves taking from others.  To maintain our extensive highway system involves taking from others.  To keep our courts and prisons operating involves taking from others.  And so on.  The people who are benefitting the most from the system we've established - infrastructure, rule of law, security...should be the people who help the most keeping the system functioning.


Mush, It's an opinion, that's what a forum is, calling those two "meatheads" is pretty mild considering the circumstances. . You obviously didn't comprehend what I wrote re "walk on water", try reading more slowly for meaning. I'll leave the wishing to you.


When the history of America is written the appetite for illegal drugs will be cited as a major reason for our downfall. I doubt there's anything we can do about it.


there may be a war, but not a nuclear war.

little rocket man will fire a missile or two and then we shoot it down and just go in with conventional weapons and get rid of the dictatorship and put kim in his place once and for all.

the liberal media is doing the fear mongering to get viewers to read their articles.

"Wisconsin is one of five American states that border Ontario"

East to West: New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Minnesota. Those are the 5 states that border Ontario.  Wisconsin does not.... even in Lake Superior, Minnesota and Michigan own the part of the lake that borders Ontario.


If Trudeau, Chretien, Mulroney and the rest of the Quebec politicians hadn't given Bombardier billions in anti-competitive subsidies, grants, and never-to-be-repaid "loans," there would not be any grounds for these duties. Simple. Stop the cronyism and cooperative back-scratching between Quebec politicians and corporations like Bombardier.


I'm cautiously optimistic.  I remember all the hoopla and back slapping when Kealoha was hired and look how that turned out.  I would have preferred an outsider.  Hope she can clean up the damn swamp.


Only three words come to mind; hope, progress, results.


My experience  and more recent reports of Mackenzie Financial's performance are very much less than stellar. Frankly I'm more interested to read Gordon Pape's personal view  on "projecting the best investment returns over the next seven years"  than anything from Mackenzie.
I would be extremely wary of a team that comes up with the term "multiasset class intrinsic valuation (MACIV for short)" and rather than give it the light of day,  leave it "for use within the Mackenzie organization"


I am always amazed at serious incidents like  this leading to very minor charges.  In North Dakota, this culprit would be fried.  Resisting arrest in such an aggressive manner in ND has serious consequences.  Not out here.


I can't speak for all school and school districts but in ours, in Western Alaska, the district gives *some* travel support for sports travel but the teams work their butts  off to fundraise the rest of it - the bulk of it.


One definition of deplorable is "deserving strong condemnation." When kooks, like Trump and other Birthers, spend years undermining the legitimacy of our President and then try to blame it on Clinton, a reasonable person would think they deserve strong condemnation.

Therefore they are, by definition, deplorable.


Not carrying water for anybody except the 138,000 of us voters who voted to get a gasline built in this state...with an export leg if it helps the economics (and it does if it`s a "common carrier" gasline.
We`ll see.
We couldn`t ask for a better team to work to bring a gasline home, and it`s been a long time getting here, with the producers eager to sell gas and our QUALITY gas liquids well into and beyond the next decade (now that it won`t cost them a bunch up front).


Maybe if the state managed their forests better these fires could be brought under control faster.


Soon under the Trudeau Liberals French and English will be replaced with Cantonese and Mandarin as Canada's 2 official languages as mandated by any China-Canada free trade deal, no worries since the Liberals will sell it to us as "they know better what is good for us then we do".


No wonder he hangs around so much, when the guys are showering ;)


"Anna Betty Achneepineskum, the deputy grand chief of NAN, said she has been trying to look at the lives of the young people who have killed themselves in her communities recently to determine if there are commonalities that can be addressed."
Come on Deputy, if you were less concerned about your political aspirations, and more about these kid's lives, you would be calling out your fellow leaders and their wilingness to put their political gains ahead of their comunity needs.


Don't get all giddy Globe and Mail, the CBC's vision of Canada is just as screwy as yours.   The deciding factor is usually which one of you closes your comments section first.


" I'll enjoy the changes without them." There you go.
At times, I too have been very critical of the way downtown has been handled. Used to work down there helping to maintain the place. Would like to see more leadership on the part of the City stating that you are NOT welcome downtown if you are going to trash the place, engage in selfish, obnoxious behavior, and not respect others rights to be there.  Cops have a tough job.
Some of the homeless often get a bad rap by being lumped into the crowd who are harassing others and making it unpleasant to be there. Too bad. I think that is one thing that is impeding more progress on the part of the community toward the "genuine" homeless.
Good luck with your efforts.


at least print this story in the Alberta  section.....I am serious. This is a national paper, is it not?


I think if baldy ran it would prompt a revolution in Canada by it's young radical population. I can just envision a roaring campfire in Muskoka  and baldy hanging from a white pine while his cottage is being looted and burned.


Who?


The article you linked to does not say there is a 30% annualized default rate.


Gotta disagree, OldAndShould.

I'm with you on "At this point in time..."  ridiculous overspeak, used often by those behind a microphone while their minds whirl away trying to compose their next thought.  However...

"having said that" is often a legitimate phrase, used to highlight what comes next: an additional comment that modifies the stance of the previous one.  "He was often impetuous, but having said that, there were two instances where he showed real restraint..."


Opus Dei doesn't decree or have a politics. Its "agenda" is focused on helping ordinary Christians pursue personal holiness and apostolate in the world (less focus on the parish):  How are we drawing closer to God in our ordinary day, how are we helping God by bringing souls closer to His love, etc.

It doesn't do protests and make nice flashy banners.

The formation given by it, however, might touch on how various attachments or vices or habits that we have accumulated in our lifetime could be keeping us from a closer and more lively relationship with God and others.

What resentments do I have, hold on to, nurse?
How does my pride drive my motives, interior monologue?
How do my preferences and tendencies try my wife's patience?
Do I seek consolation in technology (or in my reputation, or in my credentials, or position, or writing) or do I seek the will of God using the instruments that God gives me.

Or five thousand other points of growth.


Is it a coincidence that the majority of the commenters that found this comment funny are openly homosexual?
What does that statement, made by our blessed Mother to Lucia refer to exactly if true?  A family that consists of a mother, father and children, raised in the faith?  Marriage between one man and one woman?   Single parent households with children born out of wedlock?  The delusional thinking of transgender adults and children?  Divorced and remarried receiving communion in a state of adultery?


A cool half million of net worth...each...at 29. Welcome to the 1%.


The embattled Leader of  the British Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn   is a prime example of not taking note of  the concerns of his working class supporters by   ignoring their  opposition to his   unlimited immigration policies was having   in the country.

He and his wide eyed  idealistic unrealistic pronouncement with his Momentum Group of M.P's   have ruined the Labour Party hopes of regaining power.in the U.K.


several magazines would require a "change" and give a pause which might allow actions against the shooter.....  certainly, it beats those 30 to 100 round magazines....


race, ethnicity, disability, gender, age,  etc are physical characteristics of a person that cannot be changed.  But religion is a choice, just like a job or education choices or even spouse.  Completely different


Love the way Atheists defend their belief in the non-existence of God. Christians, Muslims and Jews are almost as fervent in their defence of an existence in God! Question is how many atheists would stand firm should so-called evidence emerge that there is a God? ;)


Yes.  I'm surprised absolutely nothing in this article claims such damage has been identified.


I wonder if the "fiscal certainty" the Governor mentions is payback for the oil and gas industry he so lavishly rewarded when he was governor of Alaska?  I see he is still attempting to reward industry.


Well, no matter his bombast, I think he's right though.


What a load of crock. You guys like him because you see him from afar, here we KNOW what he truly is: a feminist he is not. He is for the opressive sharia law upon women, he sees it as "a choice" women make and not as the political misogynist symbol that it is. He is delusionnal and live in lalaland.


I raised nothing, God made us with two sexes, and he made the world with reason.  The body of Christ is different from Christ's ministry of the sacraments within the liturgical priesthood, and not the royal priesthood that all baptised Christians are part of.

What is the point of making us like that, surely God could have steered the evolutionary process to only procreate in another manner.

Also why did God only choose men in the old testament?

Also most importantly when God chose to incarnate himself he did so as a man. Why not a woman, we see prophetess' in the old testament, why not come to us as a baby girl instead of a baby boy?

If a female priesthood is to be considered, then first there needs to be a separation of the liturgical priesthood from fatherhood, or more accurately the role of a husband.


Karl Rove and his Canadian counterparts within the Harper regime mastered divisive wedge politics so no sense in now crying about the Frankenstein that the Cons created.

The political wilderness is exactly the right place for Leitch et al for the next decade or more.


Oregon will become Oklahoma or Texas in the near future? I don't mean to discount your point completely, only to suggest that this might be a bit extreme. As fear of climate change drives people to think more sustainably, perhaps forestry offers a solution and not necessarily a barrier. Using wood, a renewable resource, to build future structures around the world is something we should all be excited about.


Good on you and thank you for helping to keep our rivers clean.


"The global temperatures have not changed in over 10 years"? I don't know where you got that idea. Have a look at some of the evidence: https://globalclimate.ucr.edu/index.html;
https://www2.ucar.edu/climate/faq/how-much-has-global-temperature-risen-last-100-years (including the comment   "In the Northern Hemisphere, where most of Earth's land mass is located, the three decades from 1983 to 2012 were likely the warmest 30-year period of the last 1,400 years, according to the IPCC" [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change]; http://www.theworldcounts.com/stories/Temperature-Change-Over-the-Last-100-Years. That's what I found with just a 3-minute research effort. There's more if you care to go looking.


Neither woman wrote the speech, they're just reading off the teleprompter. Looks like the Trump campaign hired a speechwriter who gets hired a lot.


You're right, they all voted Liberal in the last election and they are the reason the Liberals will be in power for a long time.


Beck served for 20 years in the U.S. Navy SEALs before her transition, and took part in 13 deployments, including seven combat deployments. Beck was a member of the United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group (also known as DEVGRU), a special counter-terrorism unit popularly called SEAL Team Six, and received multiple military awards and decorations, including a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart.[7] Beck told Anderson Cooper she wanted to be a SEAL because they were the "toughest of the tough.

Shortly after her retirement from DEVGRU and the US Navy, active DEVGRU members gave their support in person and among them one of the most decorated DEVGRU Team Leads from Seal Team Six's Red Team.

You missed the replacement therapy part of the article, didn't you? This beats all the other stuff they've got going on to wrestle with this problem, and it's a dayem shame that this treatment isn't part of the state's toolbox.

I'd be interested in hearing what your solution would be; can imagine it would probably violate a few citizen rights.

Exports ?  Other than raw resources what the heck do we have to sell ?
 Our manufacturing sector, through four decades of Liberal and Conservative government management, trade deals etc.,  has withered to what it was in the 1980's , with a much smaller population then.
 Asia , with no environmental standards and virtual slave labour makes everything for us now as tariffs have been slashed.
Now our government wants to talk free trade with China and with the likes of Vietnam through TTP.
   We're up the creek with a canoe made in China and without a paddle, not even a disposable made-in-China piece of plastic crap.


Its called living life.
Maybe I should shop at Savers or Goodwill too, because everyone else is too stupid to get a better deal than the regular Malls.


Thats why this POS needs to go... he is ONLY for big money and big Military... he gives two squirts about people of this state, it is only a job for him.  Time for him and all his group to go...one way or another.


You are absolutely correct!
Obamacare is designed to weaken and even destroy the private insurance companies. Forcing those companies to cover all of the government requirements, and pre-existing while keeping their premiums low and affordable is an impossibility. It was designed to collapse with single payer being the only other option available. There is a video stating that exact sediment by Barney Franks.

"Then in early 2011, More was convicted of sexually abusing two of his female students. He went to prison and began staring down a 12-year sentence.

But he didn't forget his passion for singing."

Seriously? I'm sorry. A man who has sexual relationships with 15 and 16 year old students half his age while married and expecting a child? I don't even want to hear his human interest story. I have no sympathy for this creep. My stomach is turned by this being offered up as - I hesitate to use this term - a "feel good" story.


I recently heard it stated that Trump doesn't comprehend right or wrong, he only understands winning and loosing. That mind set doesn't belong in our government.


IF we accept your premise, then you only make yourself irrelevant by commenting on Canadian newspapes


The income tax will die in the Senate. I have made sure of it. The House is wasting their time.


Inflation at 1.7%? As Mark Twain said there are 3 types of lies: 1- lies, 2- damn lies and 3- statistics. No way inflation is at 1.7% with housing up hundreds of thousands in the past two years, since Poloz's 'surprise' rate cut in 2015 - for no good reason. Poloz should stop checking his indexed defined benefit pension plan statements and do something useful like signalling a small rate increase asap.


You could have a point there. The NFL and the Broncos are full of criminals who are rarely held to the same standard as poor offenders.

This is a good time to start the change. Bring "Blood" thru DIA in handcuffs.


Good morning

Did you know on this day not one member  of the NRA killed or wounded any one. Its the same stat. year after year after year.

cheers


I'm too young to have lived through that draft and Vietnam, but it doesn't take being old to be angry at the way Trump mocked McCain's service. So yes, I realize many people had deferments. My anger with Trump on this is the fact that he had deferments AND he mocked those who had the guts to serve and sacrifice. Combined, it shows how hypocritical and morally bankrupt Trump is. I don't know how veterans can support him - he's all talk and lacks respect and humility.


there is never going to be enough 'justice' for david. but now we need to move on to protection of the rest of society. these types of people do not deserve to ever be turned out on to the streets. i don't know what kinda bleeding heart liberals can justify threatening the health and well-being of the rest of society by giving these guys (and women are just as bad) another chance. life in prison with no parole is the only sentence plausible or acceptable.


Locking them up for life is only cheaper because nobody will dare control the defense bar's racket.   And for the record, I'm not a death penalty advocate; I used the same tools and rules to take people's jobs and did it before skilled arbitrators and ALJs, not twelve morons with driver's licenses, and I won way to many I should have lost and lost too many I should have won to have much faith in the adversarial system to do anything irrevocable..

Probably in South Eugene, but so what? His points are still valid. I live in North Eugene but regularly travel to the Ridgeline trailheads to access some of the best hiking and natural settings around, it's worth the trip. I feel very fortunate to have that available in my "backyard", most cities do not.

Yes, weed has been great for everyone since being legalized.


Right. Let's not have any maps. People traveling across the country? Just head east, you'll figure it out. The old Alaska is dead, my man. Time to embrace it or else go on being a grumpy old koot.

This is insanity. This pipeline has been around since the 60's with little incident. Surely investing in the system can only enhance safety. When this project is done it will be entirely benign, and many times better than oil-by-rail.


Not heard of the E.U. the biggest trading bloc in the world?


Most people could stomach these Liberals speaking on behalf of the Muslims.  What is of concern is their lack of interest in the treatment of Christian groups like the Coptics, or Yazidi, Kurds, or African Christians in places like the Sudan.  Where was the outrage over Christian women and Children being thrown overboard by Muslims while migrating to Europe?  If Liberal want to start banging pans, it would be prudent to speak for everyone.  It would shut me up for one!


plus assault with a deadly weapon


Q:  And yet in all these intervening months, how much evidence - - evidence mind you, not mere assertion, lies or innuendo - - has been unearthed that the Trump campaign had anything to do with Russia ….. or any other foreigners for that matter?

A: Here’s a hint for the mathematically challenged: the amount of such evidence is best described by the integer the lies EXACTLY half way between positive one and negative one on a number line.


Yes the election of the Donald was a huge mistake.  Don't know what you mean though by his losing on NK?  That is still going on and probably will never be resolved.

He has relinquished world leadership to China and Russia which will probably end up not being good for the United States but that could work out to be for the better in the long term.  May end up being disastrous too,


1. The only alleged 'no-go zones' I've actually been in are in Paris, one of which was next to my hotel last time I was there.  Lots of people on the sidewalks, men and women, night and day.  I agree with what Fox News wrote in its apology.

2. My experience mirrors this excerpt from the Washington Post article you cited:

"Not according to the Los Angeles Times, which, like many news organizations, sent a reporter into this zone after the Paris attacks. “Despite its tainted reputation, Molenbeek is not a place that seems especially threatening,” writes Patrick J. McDonnell. ..."

3. Despite this, I'm sure that people who equate hijab-wearing women with  terrorists will continue to believe in and post about this myth.

4.  Nobody has even tried to justify a claim they exist in Sweden, which was what the original poster wrote, and to which I had replied.

Carrick neglects to mention the company also made it difficult, in ways that seem possibly fraudulent in the legal sense,  to even redeem ones points. Their site was programmed to hide from you items your own points qualified you to buy, and instead would show you out-of-reach, unbuyable items one didn't have enough points to acquire. This sounded like an illegal sc*m, fraud.  I vowed never to use my Air Miles credit card again after the A.M. program started these shenanigans. The Corporate Board should fire executives who came up with and/or okayed these deplorable policy ideas. The company's belated about-face does not change my mind. I shall never use my A.M. credit card again except in an unlikely emergency when my other credit card is unusable or gets declined for some reason. Bye bye Air Miles.

Unfortunately, nothing.

Everything I look at looks expensive.  I am convinced we will see volatility going forward (not necessarily a crash or correction), so I am just waiting on the sidelines.  (I have been burned in the past by buying too soon so I am trying to be patient)

If the Fed raises interest rates, I am hoping to see some opportunity.

I am hoping to pick up some AQN or add to CHR & KWH.UN.

If we had a full fledged crash or strong correction then I would look at adding to PZA, KEG.UN or SRV.UN.  I also would consider buying back in to AW.UN under $33.  I also want a position in BMO (I would then have positions in all the big 5 banks) or even add to a position in EMA.

Just as a note, HOT.UN, RUF.UN & AQN pay their distributions in $US, this wouldn't be a reason to buy them, but is a consideration.

Russian Greens slam Stein for cozying up to Putin: Your silence on his crimes ‘silences our struggle’
In a video  posted to YouTube (see below) last year, Stein thanked her supporters for making her trip to Russia possible as part of a conference sponsored by Russia Today, where she sat at a table with the Russian strongman.
Speaking about “basic human values, human rights, around the need for international law,” Stein criticized a “U.S. policy of domination” without once mentioning life under Putin.

TO ALL THOSE DISSATISFIED WITH CHOICES IN THE UP COMING ELECTION, JOE MILLER IS RUNNING AGAINST MURKOWSKI. This is very good news. AND you have another Putin lover hopefully on the ballot, Stein. Talked with Putin about Basic Human Values and Rights with him.

Things are starting to look good for the Conservatives.


Niggers on knees get killed!


WOW, do i really get to comment now. AMAZING!!!


"What happens at the end of the year?"

Since the only way to make money pouring into the GC's coffers is to maintain the Unions'status quo, nothing will happen after one year.
Unless someone finds a way of taking the control AND the money from the Unions altogether. Then, "grace"will no longer be extended to the Unions.


As usual, the state is just useless handling the homeless problem. The got a homeless czar who gets paid six figures with little results. All he does is gives BS solutions which doesn't work, so cancel his position. Throw the homeless onto a barge and set sail into the sunset. Perfect solution.


Paul Reed must be a youngster and, therefore, can be forgiven his ignorance of decades upon decades of history where the Russians desire domination over the West.  Poor Paul.  However, being a youngster, his education on this topic will come with time.

Thank you.  its the most I can do to not only keep the comments civil, but to get rid of simplistic comments that are interchangeable according to the subject.  And, as I wrote in my initial reply, I don't expect you to be the only one to adapt and adjust.  I will do my part by not crusading against liberal thought.


Yeah 'cause non-political events are never made political.  At what point would you make a stand Joe Dick?  For example, would you be happy to receive recognition in Pyongyang from Kim Jong Un for your body of sterling G & M comments?


You've left quite a bit in these forums.


A copy of black's law dictionary is on reserve for you at the library, Mr DD. The case you refer to is not a federal case, apparently. A person of your inquiring and open mind might enjoy google scholar, which links to many many many other cases that an intelligent person can learn a thing or two provided they were willing to let go of a little hate.


I think in the end this was a vote against a dysfunctional legislature that failed to come to grips with a huge deficit. There remains however a lot of denial out there- from the folks who think all our fiscal problems are the result of SB21 to those who believe we can simply cut our way out. In the end serious consideration of the Governor's plan is needed and legislators on all sides being straight with voters on budget realities and  the consequences of simply running through our savings. We are not going to reduce the budget by 70%. We are not going to raise sufficient revenue solely by taxing 3rd parties. Oil revenues will never again pay for 90% of state spending. The permanent fund is where the money is at. This is why it was created in the first place. deal with it.


Kevin O'Leary likes to compare himself to Donald Trump (god knows why) and he's somewhat correct. Both of them are raving narcissists, which explains why Mr. O'Leary is his own favourite topic.

There is no Political motivation whatsoever.
We just want our son to be happy :)


Having a sense of sympathy for this woman and for the plight of the homeless and mentally ill are not mutually exclusive.  No one said this woman is in the same predicament as the 24hour a day homeless and mentally ill. Everyone has a right to be out in public places without being accosted by anyone for any reason.  Also, I think the "middle class", as you put it, are paying their fair share of taxes. How the money is being spent by the local, state, and federal governments is what needs to be addressed.


I heard on the news that Florida doesn't want him.


Trump didn't belittle the Muslim who spoke at the DNC convention.  But he did question the way the Muslims treat women which does not conform to our standards.  Good for Trump.  Japan doesn't permit Muslims to enter the country and outlaws the Koran.  I don't see anyone trying to get rid of their Japanese cars over it.


In fact, shouldn't the SA publish the polling source, etc.? It seems like all of the people I know think it's a mess, but they have "given up" on derailing the train project.  The general consensus is " that's not how politics work in Hawaii".  It will be interesting to see if the Feds become involved.  It's a lose-lose situation for them. If they tacidly "approve" the project, they in a sense own part of it. If they reject the project, Dems can blame the failure on the Feds pulling their funds.  Either way the City Government and media, working hand in hand, have a target to blame. Very sad situation.


Time for thousands of athletes to be Alaskans and do outdoor winter sports, like cross country ski racing.


This article talks about LSD and flashbacks does it not?  You also are clearly hallucinating about some Hugh Glass person.


You forgot to mention the hilarious incident where the North West Premier's (his name escapes me and is of no interest to me anyway) blue light brigade forced that of the Botswana President off the road.  In Botswana.  Apparently the President didn't have his lights or sirens going, so how was the premier to know?

The arrogance of these people is beyond belief.  It's bad enough that they treat their own people with such contempt, but how embarrassing to learn that their self importance knows no boundaries, or borders.


BC Liberals are nothing like the Ontario Liberals.

BC Liberals were formed when the BC Liberals, Social Credit and Reform Party merged.  They are nothing like the Ontario or Federal Liberal Party.

Even the party colors are red and blue, instead of the standard red.


the press squandered any credibility with the false accusations that have amounted to nothing on Russia collusion and obstruction - Trumpenstien is playing the media like a second-hand guitar and they bite on everything - he has sidestepped the big shooters with Twitter and demonstrated their inherent bias when covering someone who doesnt represent their values - all u lefties dont seem to understand that a great many people dont take ur word as gospel and they disagree with you on many points - how do think Trumpenstien got elected he ran against all of u and that and got him the big chair - hardest part of eating crow is getting past the feathers for all u lefties lemme know how ur personal journey goes - eating feathers that is


Trump has the Fake News so twisted in knots there is very little left they can say that wont make them look like lying fools. Truth cant be stopped.


Here in Dearborn MI, at the Friday sermon the Imam was rhetorically asking about Trump. "Who gives him the right to do what he is doing".

"You". Deadpanned a listener from the back rows. How right.

Stop whining folks. We in the US put him there, or at least did not do enough to stop him from being elected. For the next 4-8 years we have to grin and bear it.

It is not Trump who is to blame. We have a system that has slowly rotted for over 200 years now, too old for the modern world. But how many are willing for a new Revolution? Few I would wager.

The problem in not Trump. It is us. People get leaders they deserve. The same goes for Canada. Having worked on campaigns of no less than 25 Lawmakers to Ottawa and Queens Park, our system is no less rotten than here in the US.


Here are 2 sources for the funding: The Alaska Gasline Development Corporation bucket of $121 million or the GabbyPac bucket.


Reading comprehension fail.


Jeff Schmitz - Your argument does not make any sense; we should not cut any state employees since it will not eliminate the entire budget deficit?  In reality every state employee we cut reduces the budget deficit and helps the people of Alaska.


This is proof that President Trump is right. We don't need to join the Paris global warming deal. Our local officials are doing what the Paris agreement wants and the nation doesn't have to pay for the rest of the worlds freeloaders.


It's not about "how to run an economy", it's about how to win votes and be in control of the cookie jar. For a while anyway, until the whole lot comes crashing down.


"Breaks silence"?!?  WTF?? He started tweeting about it 4 hour ago, just a few hours after marchers and opposition protesters started to clash.

Good God, WAPO, you're becoming a poorer and poorer excuse for what's called 'journalism' these days with each passing article.


How does it feel waking up every day looking in the mirror and sticking your tongue out at yourself, hemorrhoid?


That's why we have more violent drunks now who scream at people and commit random acts of violence than we did 10-15 years ago. I don't think we're evolving in the right direction. Maybe the drunk homeless folks are peeing everywhere because they believe it will snuff cigarettes. Yup that's healthier...not.


Keep Trudeau at home. That's how Harper handled it.


I wrestle with this question every year.  I know that my son is intelligent and rational.  I know that the belief in Santa is completely the product of us nudging him in that direction.  He is smart enough to question, but we provide the right incentives for him to continue the belief.  I was not fully sure until around his age, and the news was heartbreaking.

I struggle with this question because I know that the belief in Santa is no different than the beliefs he will be taught in school (particularly high school civics).  The belief in government (politicians are hyper-moral and hyper-rational beings, above society in some vague and indescribable way).  I raise my son not to believe in such nonsense.  I tell him the truth about government (just people with power who have convinced others that their power is legitimate and that all of this is somehow consensual because it was written on a piece of paper by people who are dead now).

Should I tell him the truth about Santa?


You may well be right Western Woods, although the wording of the article could be interpreted in both ways - and there are no quotes used for that statement, so I wouldn't assume the words came from the MCFD.
Having said that, why would the British Columbia MCFD refer to a supposed Ontario law?


Awesome story! Life is about perseverance, and Coleman is such a great example.


The BLF is becoming more and more like the AWB everyday.


Tekton, perhaps take your computer or laptop to get fixed. It would appear that 'th' is being added to a lot of words you are using. Any decent computer shop should be able to resolve the problem for you.


The killing of Jordan Edwards by a police officer is a clear case of police over-acting that lead to a death.  That needs to be addressed for justice for young Mr. Edwards family.

But there was also another attempted cover-up.  All those who participated in the attempted cover-up need to be fired.  I don't even know if it is a crime for a person who witnesses a crime to lie to the police about what he/she witnessed.  But to any extent a non-police officer is accountable for lying in the same situation, then any other officer present who lied should also be charged.

Covering up wrong doing is endemic to institutional culture - that sense that it is important to "protect one of our own" and to protect the reputation of the institution.  We see it everywhere - God knows we see it in the Catholic Church.  But this cover-up mentality, this lying and evasion that puts others at risk, that has to end.


I wonder what he thinks a drug test would show?


At Best Buy there is a selection of Chromebooks between $200 and $500. $200 per computer for administrator salaries. Plus there should be a volume discount to help pay for computer administrators.


I agree that journalistic integrity in the United States has collapsed so far to the point where comedy shows are more informative than news organizations.  So I'm glad that you were able to pick up on the fact that Jon Stewart is a comedian.  +1 points for you lol.

Mocking is in the eye of the beholder. I was quoting Boethius.


I listened to Tom Anderson's radio show this morning.  Anderson minimized the efforts of Assembly Members who supported Jones.  He ridiculed them.  When Demboski mentioned Gregory Jones's religion,  Tom Anderson piped,  "Religions matter!  Religions matter, what if you were a Scientologist? " (he mentioned another religion buy I don't remember it)  Anyway,  he brought this up as a matter of questioned a candidate for public office.  Never mind the Constitutional guarantee of Freedom of Religion.  This is not about conservatives vs liberals.  It's about right vs wrong.  Demboski and convicted felon Anderson sure are making America great again.  Let's get that list of advertisers.


No.

Even without new party leaders for the CPC and Dippers, Trudeau is tanking.

Trudeau is less than a zero.
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
✘  A liar who has betrayed the Canadian people, broken all his promises,-- and now this one that was so central to his "Real Change"..

✘  A reckless binge-spender imposing carbon-taxes on the fuel that vulnerable Canadians need to keep their children warm and get to work.

✘  A pay-to-play crook who still hasn't stopped Liberal fundraisers that are just a cover for influence-peddling.

✘  Endangering Canada's safety with immigration from terrorist countries. Lax security even in the Trudeau Liberal cabinet. How was someone with false passport application information made a minister? And then, from Maryam Monsef's Wiki: "According to The Hill Times, Monsef was named President of the Queen's Privy Council in Canada although it was unclear at the time whether she had been sworn into that office.[23]."

Just sickening...


It is reasonable for employers to have the right to demand high performance levels at work.  It is not reasonable for employers to have any control over employees when they are not on the clock.  I have no personal stake in this since I have never consumed marijuana; however, liberty and personal freedom demand limits on the power of employers to control employee life when not being paid.  To get real about this matter, the drug test should be abandoned since it cannot tell whether the employee is impaired.  Instead, a performance test based on mental cognitive and motor skills could be employed to directly test for impairment.  Such a test could be completely computerized and take just a few minutes with the computer keeping a performance history of each employee and noting deviations from standard performance.  If the employee is found impaired, then the employer has a legitimate gripe.


You have no idea what those quotes really mean, and you're unable to articulate them. Got it. I guess the good news is how much time you have on your hands to learn!


The math of estate taxes is not 'a talking point', it's just math.


Agree: it smells the same only with added new dimensions related to globalization and financialization. It will implode at some point but that will be different than last time. I suspect with the current orthodoxy, the government will quickly step in and backstop the housing market and then print and inflate to get it growing again. The damage done to the Canadian economy in terms of savings and salaries will be epic but the government will consider it worth it to keep the housing market afloat. I have seen this game play out in many other countries.


He got McCain so worked up by that he forgot to reaffirm Russia is evil.


Well put Paul, I would rather watch Trump blow smoke out of his @ss than have Hillary blow it up mine.


What happened to journalism. Someone starts a story based on rumour and untruths. The story gets picked up by mainstream newspapers, which are then used as source material for further stories. Unfortunately, or fortunately farmed salmon are not dying off in europe because of sea lice. Prices are not going up as a result. Prices are going up because consumers in Asia seem willing to pay big bucks for their salmon and this is pushing up the price elsewhere as salmon is diverted to meet demand


Thomas?  There isn't a member named  Thomas.  You probably mean Thompson.  Wrap your mind around this concept:  every year the budget is different.  Do you know that this year there have been tens of millions (if not hundreds of millions) that have been shifted from UGF to DGF?

The legislature doesn't have a filibuster provision. . .that only exists in the United States Senate, and even there only in floor proceedings.


Can you name 1 QB that has 71% completion in the worst game for that franchise?


Considering we all live on this one tiny planet without another one close to jump to it's simple. Either we get along or we all die together cause we can't get to another planet, that has the basics to survive. So get rid of politicians and learn to take care of ourselves and learn that a neighbor is a life line in times of trouble. Politicians, with political correctness, want  us to fight, argue and hate each other to serve their own ends. Divide and conquer!


Hope he can stomach the sandwich.


I am not GFPG, but I offer an idea. It would probably be allowing some already ordained "permanent" deacons drift over to ordination to the priesthood. These would be stable middle aged men and this would be their 2nd career. They all will have good track records.  The selected candidates would not have young families, thus avoiding the PK (preacher's kids) problems with other churches. Their assignment would be diocesan.


“She’s a very loving parent,” Gray, who babysits for the family, previously said. “Those kids are well taken care of.” Except when giving toddlers access to handguns.


yes, and fully agree. Public funds, public audit


Anti vaxxers are ignorant deplorable people that are causing this. Vaccinations should be made mandatory. If not jail time and fines. This should be a non starter.


I'm not changing the topic at all Motley.  The man has face personal defamation that in every way makes assumptions about his character and his loyalty to his country.    It was headed by the inane Trump 8 years ago and his birther claims.   It had zero to do with policy or political positions, it was questioning his loyalty to his nation based only on the 'oddness' of his name and for some the color of his skin.   It was personal, it was about character, it had zero to do with policy.

Please don't try to sanitize the personal and vindictive comments of Trump.   And while policy is very important to me, character will be the constant of the next president, no matter who it is.   That's not much help for Clinton either.

It's a terrible frustration for me.    I have never felt so little attraction to either candidate in my voting life.  Nothing will get me to vote for Trump.  Jill Stein and Gary Johnson are looking better every day.


> The uproar from Mr. Trudeau’s political opponents on Friday was predictable.

Wow. G&M is having a field day with this one.

First there was "outrage" over the fact that the Trudeau government approved a couple of pipelines.

Now there is "outrage" over his comments that the oilsands will eventually be 'wound down'.

And I didn't bother viewing the video of "outrage" by Thomas Mulcair as, quite frankly I can't imagine 'Prime Minister' Mulcair thrusting the knife into the only sitting (and relatively popular) NDP premier by refusing to build pipelines.

Honestly G&M, if you want to cut down on 'carbon emissions', it's hard to see how you are going to do it with ever-expanding oilsands production. Maybe we can see an editorial on this sometime.


Yeah sure, hockey is so popular the Aces tanked! Bitter much or are the strategies in soccer to hard for you to grasp?


Westside of Portland, hmmm, interesting, do the parents living on the Westside have leverage to make this happen that other neighborhood lack?


I agree with this article.   Why do the MSM ignore the AntiFa and the racist left?


And you can be sure that armour piercing bullets, large magazines, and gadgets that increase the gun's firing rate will sell like hot cakes.


Bill Walker and Byron Mallott are hazardous to a sound Alaska economy and politics.


Look at the comments from the right here, as every day -- more petty shots at Trudeau, more denial of climate science, more cheer-leading for Trump. Yet they're so touchy about being criticized for their willful backwardness, and flag comments here that cite it. I thought they were proud of it.
Good luck to the CPC this weekend dealing with this mob.


Why are Canadians of colour absent from the boardroom, management and staff of The Globe is a far far more relevant (and of course politically embarrassing) question.  If allowed fair representation and inclusion, then we would definitely see a far far less bias for war, business, and of course, political correctness (i.e lip service about cultural diversity, etc etc etc).


Someone block my post calling Parker a false prophet. JESUS spoke it first of latter days. Blocking me wont change my opinion or the Bible's words. Scared of truth?

She acted like she had no clue to the crimes her son's were up to and then turns around and says she was asking for them to be arrested .
And fails to mention the robbery and kidnapping both boys did just this last spring .In his statement to the police he only told two people about the murder his mother being one of them .
The only true statement the mother made is if her son did not kill frank David would be here today .


Haha, hmm. Both common sense and the cold hard numbers in this paper point to -> more people being able to see a doctor for preventive care = better health outcomes.


America's founding - both the "pilgrims coming ashore" phase, and the "British are coming!" phase - was one part tax rebellion, one part belief in the superiority of local governance, and one part desire to establish a devout, Christian, "city on a hill". Those may or may not have been Conservative notions at the time, but they are what paved the way for the nation's success between that point and today, and they are fundamentally most in line with the values of the Republican party and the Conservative movement.

A movement that seeks to overhaul or supplant the values on which our country was founded, with cautions incessantly against loving our country too much, which seeks to make our country just another face in the crowd of nations....is, fundamentally, not a movement that can ever be labeled as patriotic.

I did not feel the comfort that I needed to understand how someone who has shown himself to be a bully, who capitalized on hate and fear, who attacked women could be elected President.    How do we teach our children that bullying is wrong, that hate is wrong, that disrespecting women is wrong, that lying is wrong when the President of the United States has exhibited these vices?  Yes abortion is a terrible thing but I believe that to support Donald Trump because of  his alleged ( Donald Trump is an opportunist) stance on abortion while ignoring all of  the other things he has said and done is a great injustice.  Further,  his values are not the values in the Gospels which we Christians are supposed to exemplify.  Since 53% of Catholics supported Trump and since some bishops and clerics encouraged them, I do not think the Church is going be a healing presence.  At least it was not for me this morning.


I've almost finished "Chasing the Scream...." by Johann Hari, a real eye opener re our "war" on drugs.  The same guy who led the "war" on booze ( Prohibition) needed something to do when that flopped, so to justify his government job so he became the first "drug czar". Here we are some 80+ years later, no closer to "winning" than we were back then, worse off in fact.


upon leaving office, the Obama's went on vacation in the south seas on a 454 ft yacht owned by David Geffen along with Bruce Springsteen, Oprah and Tom Hanks....the yacht cost 590 million dollars....the standard fuel usage for a 70 m yacht is about 500 l diesal / hour ....and Mr Geffen's is twice that

upon returning home the Obama's purchased an 8200 sq ft mansion with 8 bedrooms and 91/2 bathrooms in D.C for their family of 4

so when Mr Obama says : “In Paris, we came together around the most ambitious agreement in history to fight climate change,” “An agreement that even with the temporary absence of American leadership will still give our children a fighting chance.” I make the assumption that the leadership vacuum started right about the time Michelle yelled to him from 400 ft away with the engines purring and a copy of Washington upscale real estate in her hand ..."hey, Good Lookin, ...pour me a drink...our offer's been accepted, and Ivanka and Jared are just down the street"


Refusing to cooperate means guilt.  So the states that do not want to comply, next election, get people out there to watch their election workers.  When they do not follow the rules,  charge them with aiding and abetting voter fraud. Even stupid people do not want to go to jail.


I will not sow the seeds of hatred, intolerance and divisiveness that these anti-democratic rioters do.

The electorate and democratic will of the people has spoken, it crushes my soul to see just how anti-democratic and intolerant liberals have become.

Don't give into the divisive left wing hate.

It's tearing the country apart and democracy loving and freedom loving humans need to rebel against this intolerance.

Don't let these fascist Muslim hating bigots win.  Liberal progressives don't support religious faith.

All people have a right to exist, even those that don't agree with left wing dogma.

Just frightening.


Trudeau spending like a drunken sailor again. We will have a trillion in debt after his second term is up, yes he will get a second term since the tories elected a right winger who has ideas from the dark ages. It will take Canadians 8 years to realize the country is heading to bankruptcy.

"PORT ANGELES — The North Olympic Library System has added an online newspaper archive featuring scanned issues of more than 20 different discontinued Clallam County newspapers dating back to 1886."

For anyone interested, here is the Alaska Supreme Court opinion in this case: http://law.justia.com/cases/alaska/supreme-court/2014/s-14750.html

Bull. Some of us made sure we went to school to make sure we got into a CAREER, not just a job, that had health insurance as part of our compensation.  I did it while I and my spouse worked full time jobs, raised our kids, and went to night school in ensure I could get into a field where that was part of the compensation package.  Anyone who really wants to work at it can.  It's just easier for most people now to expect it handed to them.  There are those who have real disabilities but there was already program for that. They are not the majority with their hands out crying "no fair".


Beans you wrote "Then there is the Medical services fee of about $2,000 a year."

  Everyone pays for universal heath care in Canada in some way.  BC just keeps it separate while most provinces just include it in their income tax collected. I don't know which is best but universal health care isn't free (except for low income earners) in any province or territory.

It's kind of like Trump -- you can say anything you want, regardless of whether it is based in fact.  If people give you facts, you just talk over or around them.


The sad fact is that American science has withered along with things like American manufacturing.  Today it is more important to have gender equality in science than gender-blind brilliance.  To those not involved in research, this is not obvious.  To those of us who are, the writing is on the wall.  The torch will be passed to China and other emerging nations who value results rather than process.  At UO, mediocre mostly irrelevant research leads the pack.  Although there is no clear indication that Trump intends to cut back, he might as well.  UO research produces very few results.


No, it's not "our decision," Jason.  Not mine.  Not yours (Unless, arguably, you're a majority shareholder in Norsat.)  Not Canada's, either.  It's NORSAT's decision.  That's the way free enterprise works.


I was watching the news 2 nights ago and they said the cause of the fire is still unknown...


Charlottesville police have reportedly issued warrants for the arrest of Christopher Cantwell, a white supremacist prominently featured in a Vice News documentary.

Cantwell is wanted for his involvement in the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia last weekend, where a counter-protester was killed when a man affiliated with white nationalists allegedly drove his car through a crow

The warrants are for illegal use of gases and injury by caustic agent or explosive, the Boston Globe reported.

Cantwell posted a tearful video on YouTube earlier this week after apparently learning there were warrants out for his arrest.

Comment of the day from Financial Times readers' comments:-

"Brexit has to be scrapped. It was a stupid idea to begin with and the more we labour under the fantasy it is happening and try to force it to happen, the more we make ourselves look stupid."


I know this mans brother.  And he is a high school public servant.  Looks like good carpentry skills run in the family, great work.  Most people who aren't skilled enough or passionate enough to achieve an accomplishment like this will always settle for a single wide and a job that they are unhappy with.  Hey Sam, my son has a TBI.  Your brother was his counselor at Phoenix High School in Phoenix.  We are moving soon.  I would love to have one of these on my property for my son.  Right now he will have to settle for a single wide.  But when we do decide we need this, I will definitely be getting ahold of you for some ideas.  Good job.

Is this record broken because of marksmanship or gun technology ?  That would have been nice to know why this specific riffle/gun can hit a target 3 kilometers away.  Do the bullets have retractable wings and a guidance system?


I guess what is trivial and what is not is in the eye of the beholder.


Yes, Trump gave a platform to those "who felt excluded, silenced, forgotten and left behind." And if they were the only ones he gave a platform to, I'd be fine with it. But he also gave a platform to those who have always had the deck stacked in their favor and don't want to share, those who rail against the browning of America, those who think women should stop whining and let men objectify them, and those who believe that freedom of religion applies to their religion only.

Trump supporters are not all victims. Some of them are victimizers who want to keep victimizing with impunity. And Trump not only gave them a voice, but whipped them into a frenzy. As long as we're recognizing truths, let's name that one too.


What about longitudinal studies?


I had hoped they were happy and maybe worry about going back in 100 years time but never works as well, my ancestors never went back so who cares. Are they getting enough to eat, kids doing OK in school, what family was left behind... real stuff, instead we talk about the incorrect birthdate whish is easy to fix.


Richard's comment is very true.. I don't see names like Joe Smith, Mike Nelson, etc...Always names nobody can pronounce that bring their "values" here. Good riddance to them and all like them. I'm sure Richard didn't steal 10-20 cars while he was over there and shoot at police. People need to pull their heads out of the sand.


Alaska prisons require outside sources of money.


The washinton POSt /adn just made our scientist look like a bunch of fools. Are these the people we are suppose to believe concerning science? What a joke. Thanks again adn for confirming why Trump will be at the helm soon.


So typical.  The government spends $180 billion to cover 6 million through the VA... and spends $170 billion to cover 20 million through the ACA... yet you complain about ACA.

This article proves that our government would sooner look good on the world stage ( U.N. ) by bring in refugees than looking after our own first !
I see our government giving huge amounts of our tax dollars to everybody but us !
If you,re public service you don't have to worry - but if you're trying to make it on your own you're screwed !
Let's see more of Canadians First !


Your hilarious Sarge! You have been boasting about "8 great years" and now your saying that you hope he can make it to 2018! Come on! Won't you make your mind up!!!


Cut the 1% For Art program, cut the AK Aerospace Corporation, disband the AK Gasline Development Corp ($12million and 26 employees), cut the AK Performance Scholarship Program, cut the Power Cost Equalization program (nearly $1 billion), reduce funding to AIDEA and Alaska Energy Authority, eliminate the Department of Labor & Workforce Development and the Department of Commerce & Economic Development; any necessary functions could be transferred to other Departments, reduce the “vacancy rate” for the entire State government; this will cut the number of funded/vacant positions which provides surplus funds to the Departments, fund K12 schools directly, not school districts; this will ensure that the needed dollars actually go to the classroom where the real education occurs; it will also reduce the bloated bureaucracy in some of our school districts. Just a start but more than you and the legislature have done.


"I thought Texans were supposed to be independent minded, self sufficient peeps. You don’t need no stinkin’ SWAT teams. :^)"  It's not Texans complaining for the most part.  Too many Yankees and their offspring migrated here when their own economies collapsed.


Mr. Trump's core problem is that he comes from a business background which is strictly heirarchical. When the CEO says do something, underlings are quick to respond. If they do not respond, they are moved out.

Politics is completely different. Politics requires the politician to create alliances, to find solutions to complex problems.  You do not achieve political goals by issuing executive orders, or alienating competing players. Trump's failure to recognize these differences will likely prove to be his undoing.


Well it seems the "editorial board" has come around to my way of thinking. President Obama, because he couldn't get his own party when it was in the majority pass any immigration reform,   by executive order, made up a special name and program for about 800,000 mostly young people brought here as children.
But, the program has left them in a sort of limbo that President Trump now wants to clean up the mess from. The only way he can force the hand of Congress, on both sides of the aisle, is to declare the program to end in 6 months.
This way both parties are responsible if there is no legislation passed to help them.  No one wants the blame for not creating a clear path to citizenship for these mostly contributory young folks that by no fault of theirs were brought here.  The far majority of these young people are over the age of 18. Once becoming U.S. Citizens they can visit any out of country family and return without a problem. Eventually applying to bring some here if they wish.


There are laws that are rarely enforced by HPD such as our litter law, speeding and smoking in prohibited places.  This law, like many others, are "self-enforced".  Pedestrians would be accountable for an accident if using a cellphone whereas now it is solely the motorist.

And how many times over the last few years have we seen world oil demand increase by over a million barrels per day per year?

There are numerous studies that point to the shale basins having increasing difficulty maintaining production declines and continue growing production at roughly a million barrels per day per year as the volumes grow. While the shale plays are vast the sweet spots they have been high grading make up a small portion of the reservoir. Sooner or later these companies are going to have to grow production from cash flow and still provide investors with stock appreciation or dividends, something that hasn't been occurring during $100 per barrel oil let alone $48.

How many times have we seen NJP give his own comment a like? It has been pointed out to him/her on numerous occasions that everyone understands that you liked the comment otherwise you wouldn't have posted it.


Without health issue, hard for clergy to get retirement in the RCC.
Many dioceses force 'em to stay till 75! Priests are coming down the aisle in walkers, and some just sit at altar. Pathetic!
Interesting Card. Wuerl has reached 75 but will stay on as being a cardinal in WDC is a top shelf position and what would come if retired? Seminars on EWTN? No staff and servants and evicted from his sumptuous digs
In many diocese when one leaves, dies, or has catastrophic illness & has to withdraw, the diocese's food chain is highly disrupted.  Hence, the drive to fish in foreign waters for bits.
Good news is that more sane America RC males are not digging this unnatural life.
They are finding life, a real one, on their own terms.
Now PD may find more time to focus on his writing and by withdrawing will perhaps be able to distill more spirit from his experiences. Ad multis annoys!


Yes, classical capitalism did tend to equilibrium (the invisible hand of Adam Smith) but modern capitalism has many additions that minimize risks  (such as contracts that guarantee profit, like in the case of the Gautrain) and/or maximize profit (monopoly, price fixing, outsourcing to countries with cheaper labor rates).
Neoliberal capitalism wants top make the entire  world governed by a single capitalist economic entity and is heavily loaded with brainwashing propaganda (dogmas)  and politics to make countries accept it.


I wonder how much people he killed before joining the military??? Now that would be a story...#MAGA


To keep the record straight, Bill Clinton was impeached (it means formally charged, the equivalent of 'indicted').  He had a trial in the Senate, and was acquitted.


Interesting comment from the President of the P.I. nation. I do wonder what would compel him to say it.
But on the bright side Vientiane is a "wonderful" place for the summit. Just ask any Moung people.

Elway is not going to give up on his 1st round bust for at least another two years.  He should have cut Stephenson and signed Ricky Wagner.  He makes some goofy decisions.


Maybe if our "betters" stopped telling us that we are all racists for not wanting to accept 13th century ideas as morally equivalent to our modern secular society, people would just get along better.


Just another example of the total stupidity produced by this Republican Congress.  Sort of like debating what color to paint the living room, as the wildfire approaches the back lawn.  Talking about making 'assault weapons' harder to obtain is not irrelevant.

Glad you asked, Senator Schumer.  You do!  And you and your colleagues also allow the IRS to write its own rules,  publish them in the Register,  and they become law unless challenged in tax court,  successfully.  Congress writes the rules,  the laws.  The Executive interprets your laws,  Senator, and publishes the administrative rules,  which can go far,  far astray.   The courts, including now associate justice Gorsuch,  rule on their legality under the US Constitution.,  when challenged in court,  as a part of the Appeals process.    If you don't like the SCOTUS interpretation,  their opinions usually provide an easy path to re-writing the law to conform,  after which the courts usually reject appeals.  And,  boy oh howdy,  can Congress write some really bad law,  doozies,  as it were,  and that comes from pure partisanship or overblown comity,   and down home stupid.  Not unlike allowing former Senator Reid to change the filibuster rules in the Senate.  Paybacks are sure and nasty.


Yes, a local crime rag with all the other stuff the Wash. Post sees fit to print.


There's the post of the day, folks.


That 25% rebate is in response to the problem of high prices (caused by rich green energy contracts) created by the Liberals in the first place. A government can only use taxpayer money because that's all it has.
Government - a disease masquerading as it's own cure.


hodad, what do you call those Christian lynching parties in the South. They were home grown terrorists inflicting horror on innocents: black men, black women, black children, and black pregnant women. These fun Christian terrorist people were around since before the Civil War.


Yes, we ain't don't have been enforcing dem laws for decades now. <--Ribbing your grammar a bit - forgive me. :-)

You are correct though.  We have been enabling illegal immigration for decades.  It is unfair and immoral to now simply turn our backs on those who have put decade long roots in our country now and deport them.  Time to change the law and go after those who hire them illegally.  First, we need another AMNESTY (such a dirty word to some people - I think it is a beautiful word).


“If a motor vehicle is within the intersection waiting to turn right – blocking the cyclist’s path from the bicycle lane to the other side of the intersection – the cyclist should wait until the way is clear before proceeding through the intersection.”

“If a cyclist is passing them, cyclists should pass them on the driver’s side,” DiCicco said.

Presumably, Mr. DiCicco would use the same sarcastic tone referring to "Scotty" beaming things down with the cyclists I encounter regularly who fail to grasp the two rules of the road above.


My best experience at McNeill River was staying behind at the cook cabin while the standard permit holders went to the falls.  I was able to hike, observe bears and just enjoy the experience without being told what to do constantly.

The experience at Brooks Camp does not, in my opinion, harm bears or otherwise damage the environment.  You can fly over to the camp for the day or for several days, come and go from the falls as you like, hike and generally enjoy the environment and the bears.  The staff provides a good orientation but are not heavy handed.

I really do feel that McNeill River Sanctuary has both benefited from individual long-term management and suffered, as the experience becomes rather idiosyncratic and rigid.


Regardless of cost, the so called 'Pardon' will still not get you into the USA.

OK, so now maybe they can explain how they can tell the FTA (Dec 1, 2016 report) that GET revenue will grow at 4.3% per year while the state says the economy will only grow at 1.6% and UH says the growth will be less than 2%.  GET revenue and economic activity are directly correlated.

No more puling numbers out of thin air to justify balancing numbers on a spreadsheet.

I live in a rural area.. I have done everything I can do to lower my electric power consumption. My bill rises as my consumption lowers. Ancillary charges -delivery, etc, are more than the cost of the power I actually use. We were encouraged to save power by shifting loads to off-peak hours. We did. Hydro One was losing money. They applied for a rate increase, and got it. We were penalized for doing exactly what they asked us to do.  It's absolutely no exaggeration to say that many people - especially those on fixed incomes - must choose between heat and food. That little rebate gift that Wynne decided to dole out to the rural dwellers will be eaten up by the carbon tax. As I write this, it's -20C outside, and dropping. There's 2 ft of snow in my backyard.  If Wynne wants to come and stay with us, she'd better bring some heavy sweaters. She,ll need them.


Mr. Robinson:  Many conservatives in Congress have long held the views about race expressed by Mr. Trump.  As a majority, they are finally able to chip away at those hated civil right laws and please their wealthy donors, and they are working diligently on that.


Your comment reveals your lack of knowledge and awareness, ie., you're seriously under-informed, or worse, choose to ignore the evidence. Which is it? The volcano 'story' is a red herring by the way, already dealt with in the scientific literature, but what is truly bizarre is your wood boat straw argument.

It's clear that most of the people writing about this topic have never run a small business. I do and I recognise that the most important condition for encouraging a small business is that the financial rules remain predictable. The economy is doing OK so leave the system alone. If we know what the rules are now and for a good distance into the future, we can conduct our businesses accordingly.   In this particular instance, "reform" isn't progress, "stability" would be.


Actually Ms. McDaniel tens of millions of women (and men) rejected your extreme radical agenda and we now have a republican congress, president, and will have a conservative majority in the Supreme Court. Put your positions out there and win some elections and you can legislate your extreme radical positions. The proof is at the polls no?


I think some of the "findings" of Shuman's report miss the point.  The lion's share of costs in the study is "$142 million in state and local taxes that would be collected if military jobs were converted to civilian jobs."  I guess we could go to Boeing and say we'd all be richer if Boeing didn't take any tax incentives.  The fact that the State is happy to give Boeing a "deal" so the State can benefit from Boeing's presence seems to have escaped the argument these people are trying to make.  Further, just look at the retired military that live on the island BECAUSE of the Navy's presence.  You could also make the chicken/egg argument of "who was here first".  Regardless, we need to work toward a symbiotic relationship and appreciate the need we all have for each other.  Sure there will be annoyances across the isle, but the reality is, we all need each other.
