I have to insist it’s not even close to the same; it is the property owners money that the city allows them to keep, not the city’s money given
to the property owner. The city gets more tax revenue than before the development- it’s only a partial waiver - and often with an zero increase in city costs (no additional police, fire or administrators need to be hired).


No it was the Donald's fault.  He promised health care second to none but instead the republicans came up with crap.  The Donald failed in that he didn't push a single pay plan which would have fulfilled his promise.  He may not have succeeded but he would have gotten an A for effort.  As it is I just give him an F.  Eventually his base will realize him for the empty fool he is.


The Marine Barracks bombing, where we cut and ran after it, convincing the terrorists that if they hit us hard enough, we will just pack our bags and run away.  You mean that bombing?  And unlike most terror targets, it was a legitimate military target, the towers on 9/11, not so much.


It's going to be just like when big daddy Murkowski was elected governor, except on a national level. I can't wait. He was just like Trump.


.....and Orlando was certainly a powder keg blow out waiting to happen.  seems he had a trigger...or developed one because of the skaters.  racist name calling is pretty offensive.


Personally, I don't know why something like, 'prayer', has to be displayed any where.Does it make people feel better when they demonstrate their belief in public? Just a moment of time on your way to any meeting, should shake any cobwebs out of the head?


Yep, newcomers, how many states are you registered to vote in?


C:  That is an administration problem.  I would think those materials are essential and the principal should prioritize accordingly.


Why does the Globe and Mail keep calling them irregular asylum seekers when they are illegal migrants, it is sickening?!

This should be the headline:

I understand that some people want them anyway.  Would you settle for a hug?


Hillary Clinton did make Donald Trump possible. They are literally North and South Poles. Both are basically corrupt. Both are basically liars although I give the edge to Hillary on that score. Both are bombastic and prone to extreme exaggerations. I'll give the edge to Trump on that score. But if you stripped away their politics, they are both two peas in the pod.


Ordination of women is bad enough  but women as bishops is and will always be a deal breaker in the eyes of the RC church.  (Bishops can ordain priests you see - a double whammy).  My husband is Anglican and I am RC.  His bishop is a delightful woman, full of wit and humour, who has shaken up her diocese from top to bottom, reassigned old hangers-on and put the lait in charge of the direction they wanted to go, re: the church.  My bishop, on the other hand, hardly ever goes out of the city limits, refuses to follow the more liberal of the pope's commands, in almost 10 years has yet to visit his more rural parishes, is only concerned about having photo ops in the diocesan newspaper,  requires the common folk to come to him, etc., etc.  If everything else were agreed to except ordination of women, there would be no agreement - ever!  It is the dealbreaker, ergo of primo importance.


Pretty easy to find all of these people on Facebook. I'm surprised they didn't delete their accounts before they were arrested.


"....Susan Mauldin, who had been the top security officer, and David Webb, the chief technology officer, are retiring. Mauldin, a college music major, had come under media scrutiny for her qualifications in security."

WTH?  A music major?


LOL this isn't a movie dude.  Grow up.

Why would you want to take money away from businesses that employ people? Letting the company use the money to hire more people and give raises makes way more sense than letting the government take it and waste it .. taxed enough already


Sufficient evidence: witness (at least one) who witnessed all or part of the beating. Witnesses (2 or more) saw him dragging the body to the balcony, heard him utter "she wouldn't stop laughing at me".  Numerous witnesses saw him immediately after the murder and when placed under lock and key.
Aggravating circumstances - he beat her to death in front of at least one of the children, possibly more then one. Particularly cruel and devastating beating that last for a number of minutes, child (children) begging him to stop.
Mitigating ? Are you kidding ? Let's see......nope, NONE.
Excited utterances can be admittted into court, his "she wouldn't stop laughing at me" should be allowed in. not enough information regarding the evidence. If he did use a weapon (bunk ladder ?) and testimony confirms it and forensic tests prove it was used, and a witness saw him using it, then there is evidence.

How, I ask myself, and why, should I, as a lay person, be in the position of, in essence, demanding that someone, heterosexual or homosexual, who is giving to me and others a life of service, abstain from sexually expressing himself and finding this fundamental fulfillment and genuine, beautiful partnership in his life? It is like asking someone to chop out his tongue and gouge out his eyes, just so that he can be my servant. This is horrible, and it is a sufficient reason to detach from the lay-priest-parish paradigm.


"The monsignor, Francis said, "with a quip of healthy humor said, 'And some people say the church won't ordain women!'"
"healthy" humor"?
Yes, human foibles can be humorous. If the Church really did ordain women, that would be one thing, but the fact that it doesn't makes it quite another.
I guess that takes the humor out of the comment for me.


Must have been a good meeting since Exxon and Tillerson signed major oil agreements with Russian companies last year.


HSA JUST STOP.  We've lost all respect for you but still you hold our news hostage.  The people have spoken - we elected this man, and you're not stopping the changes that we're demanding.  The voters are coming after the stranglehold the state of Hawaii has on our necks next.


I am sure it can be arranged but only after you grease his palm.  You know pay to play.


Complete nonsense.  "Prayer mats" aren't queen size mattresses.  You revealed your real reasons in the post that the Globe deleted, and I'm not at all happy that the guy who  wrote that is working in our schools.


Aw it's so hard to watch your privilege wane.


One day .. duh


This is the same CIA that claimed "weapons of mass destruction" existed in Iraq, a patently false allegation which led to a war that took thousands of American soldier's lifes & cost over a trillion dollars of taxpayer money. And it doesn't change the fact that the Clinton campaign never disputed the veracity of the WikiLeaks. The corrupt Clinton campaign & DNC colluded to rig the democratic primary against Bernie Sanders.


Nonsense.

One of the points you are in denial about is cultural genocide and the attempt to demonize the South.

The North certainly had its villains from the psychopathic murdering terrorist John Brown to the genocidal Sherman and Sheridan.  The Yank troops´ anthem was "John Brown's Body."  The Yanks venerated the despicable Brown just as you, Zander and the rest of the politically-correct pro-genocide crowd attempt to whitewash the legacy of the awful war criminal, Sherman.

You fail to understand the obvious.  Lincoln rejected a key SCOTUS decision and settled law.

If you are interested in conscription then look at the NYC Draft riots and the way Yanks treated blacks.

In sum, you are of the ilk that won't allow 'Dixie' to be played now.  After a terrible war Lincoln had the good sense to try to start reconciliation with 'Dixie."

You are the sort of creature who started the war and now you want to cover up the war crimes of Sherman, et al.

Orwell described your kind in '1984'.

Spot on Cadmus...first the Feds crammed Obamacare down our throats and we're still finding out new ways it's screwing us, now our State government is jumping on the bandwagon!


I agree with the comment about ethics or a lack of. There's a difference between hunting and killing. I've also witnessed this several times with calves being orphaned and the grea hunters off with their prize.
Part of this problem can be attributed to fish and game and their inconsistent rules. You're not allowed to shoot a grizzly with cubs, but you can shoot a cow moose or caribou with a first year calf.
Giving Ahtna any control over management will be a disaster. Now the argument should be made that all property owners also have the right to manage fish and game on their private property too. So much for equal protection.
Myself and others who hunt in unit 13, have been threatened and harassed by Ahtna on state lands. This will only get worse now.
Until fish and game comes up with consistent rules and all individuals have to abide by the same rules, these issues will only escalate as we are becoming a divided nation due to special interests.

That could have been fixed had the legislature been as interested in maximizing the value of OUR resources as they were in repaying campaign contributions mr. Concerned. Why are you so paranoid as to not use your real name? Are you really all that important?


This is brutal, the consumer is being abused. If you are simply renewing your existing mortgage with no additional increase in the amount you should be free to shop around without penalty. This is bad legislation. It gives the banks an unfair advantage and they will hike their renewal rates, just watch. Good old Justin the Sunny Day Boy slips the Banks a nugget.


Everybody knows what Trump is, even his own children but they've got hundreds of millions in inheritance to consider so allowing his hands to rove around the hips and haunches area I guess must be tolerated. No, Trump bragging about deliberately walking in on the teenage girls involved in his pageants in various states undress, bragging about his habit of sexually assaulting women, no these kinds of things won't be going away. As for right-wing Christians, not Christians--there's a difference, overwhelming support for a candidate who openly admits to such attitudes and actions, well let's just say I have always been a fan of irony. That you state that such claims that anyone can easily find proof to back up bearing no semblance to reality is merely an instance of convenient amnesia.


"Germany has been killing Muslims since 9/11."

Good letter Mr. Beaudin. Here's what Mitch McConnell said in 2009:

“This is a very important issue. You know, we shouldn’t try to do it in the dark. And whatever final bill is produced should be available to the American public and to the members of the Senate, certainly, for enough time to come to grips with it… And we are going to insist — and the American people are going to insist — that it be done in a transparent, a fair and open way.”

-- Mitch McConnell, October of 2009

Please call Senators Murkowski and Sullivan today and voice your opposition to the Senates version of the AHCA that will take access to healthcare away from 20 Million Americans so that the uber wealthy can have tax cuts. Alaska will be affected more than any other state with radically increased premiums for older people and the loss of health insurance for tens of thousands more. Please call.


Decent human beings aren’t disgusted by people who are extremely vulnerable.
A pair of researchers conducted a survey on homelessness :

We know.


You can't use humour anymore thanks to Social Justice Warrior Stalinists on the left.  Did you see 11 people at Laurier University who were fired over a funny help wanted ad? It happened this week!

Humour has been killed by the SJW left and now they want to use it as a weapon against Trump? Ha! Too bad they constantly tried to outlaw anything that could be interpreted the least bit offensive by anyone.


Did you read the affidavit? I did.


Such a loser and fool is the infested scrotus. Juvenile and childish don't begin to describe the behavior exhibited on a regular basis. Those who voted him in still haven't reached the embarrassment barrier and likely never will.


Am I the only one that feels the 15% tax is too low?


I think the undeniable loss of moral authority came even more from the process than from the conclusion. It was, and remains, a process where:
a) Laity who know more were told they intrinsically know less. Not on THIS issue.
b) The Wisdom of Women was 100% excluded and dismissed. Not on THIS issue.
c) Celibacy was deemed more morally insightful than marriage. Not on THIS issue.
d) Intimacy blessings from the Holy Spirit attendant to a sacrament were cited and claimed solely by men who never even received that sacrament. Not on THIS issue.
e) Laity concluded that it's OK not to trust those who don't trust them. Yes, on THIS issue.


I read that listings in the GTA is up 35% to 50% since earlier this year.  Your lack of inventory "story" is very 2016.


It is rare for any politician to answer every single question from the press.  Trump actually did answer them, just not in a way that some would want him to.

Sometimes,  say 'nobody cares about this but you", at other times they say "maybe asking silly things noone wants to know is why your ratings are so terrible".  Or they could talk about that Monty Python dead parrot skit to explain that the american people already moved past that and that a dead parrot is in the end just a dead parrot.

It's mean to say so, but as long as reporters are not jailed, it's doubtful to see how mocking them rightly or wrongly as irrelevant violates the bill of rights for reporters.


Cat:

Certainly, I can.  Keeping the unsophisticated audience in mind, I'll present just 2 thoughts that quickly come to mind:

1. If you don't have the money in hand to buy something, I think it should cost you something to borrow the funds necessary to make that purchase. I recall decade after decade where a car or house had an added borrowing cost when you were shy the unfunded last 75% of the purchase price.

2. Savers and retirees very likely would prefer to hold/invest in fixed income instruments that paid a decent interest rate for using other people's money. I'm not suggesting rates last seen in 1980 -- more like 1975 or 1985. No; they will not like to think that they TRADE bonds -- just BUY bonds and hold them for the interest paid. Whatever happened to that idea?

Instead, what I see is HUGE government debt that is only possible because of ridiculously low rates. Further, what I see is a housing market where prices rise exponentially because money is cheap.


This world today just attacks everyone for every little thing! Should we Alaska Natives shame the kass'aqs for slaughtering cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, goats, lamb, etc.? Food is food!


Worth highlighting is that CCL believes its way of pricing carbon is highly consistent with long-time conservative values. The "fee and dividend" cited in the letter relies on existing free- market enterprise to reduce pollution from burning fuel. It is government-lite. The cost per ton of CO2 is phased in gradually, over time. The approach supports wise use of natural resources, and provides for future generations.

Interestingly, Presidents Nixon and Reagan were front-and-center advocates for environmental protections --and were  joined by both sides of the isle. It's time to revisit this way of doing the nation's business.

Mr. Hallahad presents where the CCL proposal stands currently. I'd like to ask if our island is home to conservative voters who, for whatever reason, feel uneasy about the planet's temperature, health and welfare, or even national security as it relates to fossil fuel dependency ... who would like to weigh-in and help guide CCL's bipartisan approach.


so you have zero suggestions on how to pay for your plan.  figures


Unfortunately there is no golden answer.  More money will not solve the problem.  That said, there has to be more available treatment.  Nine days is an eternity.  Drugs are such a scourge.  Terrible.  Praying for all involved.


Excuse what? What exactly is it that the Russians did that was so influential in the election? To the best of my knowledge all they did was hack the DNC and release some emails that showed some of the shady things that were being done. Is that what Hillary's so upset about? That the Russians let everyone know what she was doing? That seems like a pretty poor defense to me. "Yes, I colluded with the DNC to win the primary to the detriment of democracy... but no one was supposed to find out about it!" Maybe I'm missing something but that's a pretty ridiculous argument.


And how long before Trump insults Poland. Latvia, etc.


This is the best the Senate can do. They can remove someone from from a committee but never from the Senate. Why would they leave with no work and great pay? She is probably one of the better Senators anyway.


You are totally right!

At the beginning Hitler was a populist. Too bad it didn't end well.


Canadians adopted an individual quota system that ALL users of the resource are on. Canada rationalized their fisheries, kinda like halibut and blackcod in Alaska. After IFQs in Alaska you sold out Mr. Macinko  and bought a home for <$600k home in cash.  Please show us all the way to selling out.


What are you doing is what's called "moving the goal posts." 1st you make unfounded statements. When called on that, you say they're "opinions." When told they're not opinions, you pivot & say "Everything I say is my opinion." (wrong) You say "criticize my opinions" but get very heated when people do so. So you don't want people to criticize you. You also say yr views "won't change minds," so yr clearly just speaking to hear yrself talk, & not interested in any meaningful discussion. Yr very defensive and thin skinned. You sound like yr very young. Let me give you some advice. Yr opinion is not sacrosanct, & so you shouldn't get so defensive about it. And you shouldn't dimiss others' views out of hand as you do. Don't be so hostile & angry with others. It will make things go so much easier for you in life; you will find it easier to get along w/people, & they will like you better. That will help you in work, & in your relationships.


Awwww X don't get mad. I have allllll the time on the world to follow you!!!!!

Ouch - FCA sold 151,000 vehicles in Canada YTD in 2017. Toyota on the other hand has sold 101,000. FCA is second only to Ford in Canadian sales. My guess is you need to remove your rose colored glasses when driving by your Chrysler/Dodge dealership because they are selling a good chunk of product.

Why not do your homework prior to making accusations??? Wouldn't that be more prudent.


I'm pretty certain you need more recent case law.  I seem to recall being around the 1950's.

Does Las Vegas charge different taxes based on residency?  All tourism places hit tourist type activities with high tax, but I do not know of anywhere that the tax isn't equally applied to the locals.  I doubt Las Vegas/Nevada residents do not have to pay car rental taxes for instance.


It shouldn't be a binary choice.  As long as the BLM protests are mostly peaceful, then they should also be OK.


Radical Islam is like dandelions. You can nuke your yard but because your neighbor does not , you will soon be overrun again.  The best way to reduce that is not by continuously nuking your yard,   but by treating the underlying conditions (poor soil and environment) and ensuring the prospering of healthy elements to the detriment of opportunistic weed (Radical Islam) growth


It is unclear in the story. But I think this is land on the North West corner of the Federal Center that has been considered for development for some time.  Somewhat controversial as
"residential development" often translates into more apartment houses and congestion. Curious that there are no bidders.


Oh yeah! Lets embrace a full blown military dictatorship ruled by the Communist Party of China!

Being from the private sector and working with the development of personnel.  Individuals do stumble (we all did).  What I would focus on is to properly critique and seek to improve...which I believe will happen...give it some time.  The most important thing is if you stumble...pick yourself up...assess the situation and move on.  Keep the faith.  Akin to this, there are many chapters to an individual's life...one chapter does not reflect your entire life.  Just saying...


She ruined the health care system where patients wait for care worse than in a 3rd World country, ruined the province's finances. But one thing she knows - how to spend other people's money and show nothing for it. With her government it is not about results it is about spending.


So, we know about the woman.  She seems to have been acting normally.  Except, I'd like to know more about why she left the scene of the incident.  The man?  I'd like to know why he was in the roadway at that time of the morning.  He had to have been blind drunk with that much booze in his system.  Does he live around there?


Really, TomQuinn?  If Hilary had nominated an adulterer for this position, you right-wingers would be on it like it in less time than it takes Donald Trump too make a move on a married woman.


So Warren Buffett's kids can look forward to getting a paltry $650 million, can they?  That'll learn 'em to be self-sufficient.  The problem I see with those of us with money is that the kids are used to a financially easy life from day one, the whole family has it easy, so parents are not prone to all of a sudden say to the kids that it's over for them but the rest of us are still going to the cottage or on trips or out to eat every day or whatever.


Same old claptrap.


I understand why financially CU needs to play this game at home. But I'd still like to see it in Mile High every fifth year or so. That would really make it an event.  Reminds me of the Duane Thomas quote from many years back, "If the Super Bowl is such a big game, why are they playing it again next year?"

As for today's game, it's going to be amazing atmosphere when the teams run on the field. Hair rising on the arms excitement.


The most offensive part of all of this is the language being used by our leaders.  The entire issue has been caught up in rhetoric that is meant to sway opinion.  Most small business owners are not the "1%".  Most are actually middle-class.  They are not "cheats", are not using "loopholes" or "schemes" are not "avoiding taxes" and are certainly paying their "fair share".  It is people such as Mr. Morneau, of Morneau-Shepell who truly fit some of the descriptions above.  They must be laughing as they fly over in private jets, going off to tax-havens to count the offshore monies located in some numbered account set up by teams of lawyers and accountants.  All while the rest of us engage in "class warfare".  Agree with the changes or not, we are all being played.  Envy politics at their worst.  Shameful.


"no matter what is put in front of you regarding crimes committed against trans people you will attempt to minimize it away"

I'm not trying to minimize anything -- I'm trying to promote accuracy.

"The 21 trans people murdered in 2015 listed in the HRC report were recorded as single or multiple bias murders by the FBI."

Your source? The HRC report makes it clear that they don't know the motive in most of these cases, and complains that too few cases are reported as "bias-motivated" crime.

"As far as the man killed in Vermont just a few days ago authorities have yet to determine if his transgender status was a factor. They haven’t expressly said anything except that they were still investigating."

Actually, as the article I posted said:

"Police initially investigated whether the murder was related to Beede's gender identity. However, they now say they don't believe it was a motive and that the killing stemmed from a dispute."


Good one!  Was it a joke?


I would like to know if the small percentage of cases processed were chosen because they were the most clear cut and thus easiest to make a decision on or because they were the first 592 applicants.

If they were processed on an arrival basis then this information might mean something.  Otherwise it doesn't mean much.


Douglas was born  in Scotland and raised there and Manitoba. He didn't move to Saskatchewan until he was 25.


The Anglos that stayed must feel that they are living under a colony of seagulls. Things are not that good for Anglos in Quebec when compared to living anywhere else in the rest of Canada.


They deserve each other.


Tesa,

Many legislators rent a place to live in CBJ and share the expenses. Last session, Chris Tuck and Scott Kawasaki rented a condo in Douglas for $2,400/month (according to Tuck) and then shared it with two staff persons (each paid $600 for lodging). They split the costs four ways in order to lower their individual costs and KEPT THE DIFFERENCE! Legislators are given around $6,000 per month in per diem. What they do not spend in Juneau living expenses they get to keep. Ask Les Gara and Bill Wilechowski about their living arrangements in Juneau; they do something similar. Andy Josephson uses his per diem to pay a mortgage on a home he just bought.

Per diem based on actual expenses is good enough for all other state employees, federal employees, military members, and Conocco Phillips employees. Why do legislators arrange for themselves something much more generous?

EVERYTHING must be on the table. And legislative per diem should be on the chopping block to actual expenses.


Truturd is bully.


Bill:  I find motivation extremely important.  My favorite example comes from Own Wister's "The Virginian" when the Virginian wins a poker hand from the antagonist and the guy calles him a "Son of a B$#%%" (think of what Trump called the players).  The Virginian responds "Smile when you sad that."  The point is simple: If you are kidding and mean no insult....no big deal.  If, on the other hand, an insult is intended, it IS a big deal.

The "take a knee" players made it very clear no insult to our nation was intended.  To me that is very, very important.  To me, the real meaning behind a person's action is extremely important.  Gary Crum


Sarah Huckabee Sanders stood in for Sean Spicer while he did his National Guard stint.  Her performance was less than credible.  She insisted that the congressional investigators could adequately address the issues.  But, she failed to say that the White House would not cooperate with investigators.  She failed to disclose that the DOJ & FBI would exhibit Nixonian traits.


Colonialists have permanently damaged the psyche of the African. The mere cry of "foreign agent" by artful manipulators is enough to move the African to rubber stamp the destruction of his own livelihood.

''Your cute " rumor has it" statement is the typical liberal way of putting out untruths with out qualify it.'' I thot it commendable that the comment was qualified accurately, and the possibility certainly fits the guy's wildly immature temperament, but I can understand how somebody possibly unfamiliar with those qualities could easily misconstrue and characterize them erroneously. it's not like repubs in general do worse, or hate radio and FOX NEWS became a huge success by using the exact tactics you label as 'liberal'.


Here's the thing, Trump fired em! to correct the problem for this or another reason. Here's the question did Trump know his Staff was colluding with Russia? could be he fired them when he found out. These fired Staff members probably had some Russian info then used that info for an edge to get onto Trumps Staff, Who Knows? And the FBI is still investigating now trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together and maybe seeking if TheDonald had anything to do with ordering Staff to talk with Putin/Russia during the election. It's all assumptions now as the FBI has not come up with a finding. You Democrats/Liberals are conjuring up scenarios for now.
LETS wait for the FBI to complete it's investigation, but its a fact the FBI stated there was no "direct" collusion between Trump and Russia in the elections. But it's evident one or some of his Staff had direct conversation with Russia during the elections.


Sorry folks. FBI has already led the parties to believe there is not enough to indict. They suggested this orchestrated meeting to have the media splash it all over the news. Loretta's semi-recusal was planned out months ago.


Yow, I see that now. Unbelievable. The vehicle had to vault a railroad-tie berm first and go way up a hill. How could anyone not realize through all this that you're not stepping on the brake?


Just the White Supremacists emboldened by their leader to resurrect the 1930s pogroms of the New Hitler/Der Fuehrer  Trump and his National Security Advisor Herr Bannon.  Start with a small non-christian minority to appease the Fundamentalist Racist Christians following Judaeo-Christian ethics, expand to Islamics and all immigrants while imposing martial law in all Black urban areas.  The 4th Reich in full flower.


Stop trying to create a story that is going nowhere. If we expect to hold all governments to our standards, shake your head and it will rattle. The facts are many countries are not equipped to deal with our standards. We have seen the wonderful mess created by the Arab Spring, the true facts are it has taken us centuries to reach the democracy that we have today, and to expect others to emulate us is not realistic. I worked in China and elsewhere, and there is stability, compare this to Russia where democracy has declined into a Mafia run state. Pick something that really counts and stop trying to tag the Canadian Government to fabricated standards.


Considered by some, not by all. People have been saying ‘Happy Holidays’ as long as I can remember.

This is like claims that illegal rental suites and air bnb are essential to "helping" people pay their mortgages.

In fact it simply boosts the price of homes by the amount of the illegal income or government subsidised 2nd mortgage.

If you can't afford a home the government should not be throwing you a temporary life preserver to keep your head above water. Governments should be working toward making housing more affordable, not help to prop up ridiculous home prices.

Reads like a travel brochure with all the flowery words. I know that it appeals to some, and I'm good with that.  But I would have liked to know how the hunt went. Were  ducks and geese taken? How many and what kind? Mallards, Pintail, Widgeon, etc. Was it a successful hunt? Was it a hunt over decoys or pass shooting? I have been to the location described by the author on many occasions  and can say it is basically mud flats and not as romantic as described. But I love the flats and the time putting out decoys and working a good dog. And I really like bringing home a limit of Alaska waterfowl.


Overstaying a visa is not a crime, dill.

REALLY Katie, when a Politician makes a statement like this, “Oregonians deserve to know that their money is being spent wisely and that state government is accountable", I run, not walk to the toilet, because these statements make me ILL...........

PERS, $22 BILLION unfunded LIABILITY, she or whoever would have to sell the whole state  of Oregon to satisfy this liability, this liability will never be satisfied.


To Mr. Depp:  I don't care if the resident of the White House is a kangaroo, or a half-wit, threat of assassination is absolutely inappropriate.


I believe that it is becoming apparent that the GOP ideology of Randian small government is a fraud on both a state and national level. They really have no understanding of government or governing and cling to such debunked and asinine policies like trickle down economics. From the president's "budget" to our GOP state legislators calling for greater cuts to state government, proof that they live in a fantasy world completely untouched by reality.


Thanks, Mike, it's that time here too.


Same here. I am saddened by each event but not sympathetic. We should of course make sure that this cultural aberration is not exported to our country.
I now avoid travelling to the US and only go there when obliged to for work. They seem happier when isolated. Eventually I hope that they will learn that tolerating the slaughter of innocents is not the ‘price of freedom’.


What about the drug companies making secret payments to the OntariOWE gov to list their drugs on the formulary?  How transparent are they there?

Okay. I give up. You are all-seeing, all-knowing, all-powerful. You're the smartest, most knowledgeable, bestest guy in the whole wide world!  Is that enough stroking Fred?  Do you feel better now?
Pathetic.


Sadly, once again, the potential definitive answer to the eternal question “Why did the chicken cross the road?”, goes to the grave.


Thanks for the 2 responses so my post so far.  What you picked out of my post was my minor whinge - 6 words -  that the cpc is taking forever to elect a leaders. That's what you found?

My main point was that the number of negatives  in the  comments point to a problem for anti-liberals.  Canadians are looking for positives. So in response - more negatives.
Thanks for proving my point, fellas.


Good luck Jason, I hope you make your brother proud. Lance was the greatest and I wish he was still able to compete.


To quote the author, this article is crapola!  Jones arrogantly writes "As a refresher, the equalization system was set up to ensure Canadians receive roughly equal levels of public services regardless of the province in which they live."

Well, lets review some facts:
- Quebec has massively less expensive University Education for Quebecers and People from France. If other Canadians want to attend those Universities, the govt increases the price by a factor 1,000% or more.
-Quebec has public daycare that is a fraction of the price of Ontario day cares and is publicly subsidized. (I cannot speak to day care prices in other provinces).

These are two examples where Equalization Payments and the Equalization System subsidize Quebec to ensure its citizens receive a higher level of public service then other Canadians - by using tax payer dollars from other Canadians not just Quebecers.

Not Quebec bashing, they have leveraged the system to their benefit.  Equalization formula is broken.


What do you mean, excluding the First People? Don't know if you noticed, but a high percentage of the homeless out there ARE the so-called "first people."

Certainly true that both sides do it (even back to Bush and Clinton).  But what we're seeing now is probably 3x what we saw 8 years ago in Obama's first year.

The more it's overdone, the more people are going to start rolling their eyes and writing it off as crying wolf too many times to take seriously.


The "oil bidness" filled the treasury looser, and has to the tune of 90 cents on the dollar for 40 years. But of course facts are something to ignore whenever it's convenient for lefties.


Don't be surprised to see Gorsuch's nomination withdrawn by the end of the week.


What a waste of money and there are plenty of folk who buy them to "celebrate" the 4th of July.....something that many know little or nothing about. Sorry but fireworks can best be enjoyed when put on by the local community..., beautiful and spectacular and a chance to learn from the "program" for those who don't know...what exactly the date represents. ((Heard an interview lately about American History with a young lady who is a college freshman - Q: Who is George Washington? Answer: A President I think, maybe the second one after Lincoln?))

Are fireworks disturbing...oh yes, especially when "lit" in June thru September - middle of the night, rattling the windows and freaking everyone out. Where oh where do they get the illegal ones that make such an extreme rattling BOOM sounding literally like a bomb.


It's a wonderful feel-good distraction from immigration, tax policy, MMIW Inquiry, deficit budgeting levels, the Kadr payment, etc. etc. etc.


Convenient for them. Look, I am under no such delusions that America is just the innocent police man trying to keep order, no one is wearing the white cowboy hat, here. But I'm not about to justify or excuse the other players, either. Saudi Arabia and Pakistan via the ISI conspired to create "the Taliban". PM Bhutto and her Interior Minister were personally involved, the later explicit in his support of Islamic Fundamentalists at a time when, due to Soviet collapse, the US was ignoring Afghanistan. I'm going to repeat what I said in my first comment: Pakistan is as culpable or more so than either Russia or the US.


Bail isn't a constitutional right. A right to a fair and speedy trial made up of your peers is I and the right to defense for yourself is. And you miss the point. If there is evidence of wrong doing and it's a slam dunk case open and closed then what is unfair for the accused? they're guilty and there should be efforts to get these people to trial FASTER that's the point, and to have people manipulating the system to stay out on bail and avoid trial is just as unfair. Do you really believe the majority of people are wrongly accused because that's how you sound? If they are innocent then they will have the B.S. behind them quickly. And just so you understand if it is against their constitutional rights then you are imagining something which I am not implying. How many accused have another run in with the law to any degree while awaiting trial, I'm guessing more than not.


What makes you think it went somewhere?  It's still actively being investigated, and they're building the case.  Be patient.  The racism thing?  That's the right's lame attempt at distraction.  Trust me; we are not distracted.


No doubt 777ER will have a complete game analysis..    So sad 777, your hope and prayers were not answered.  Can not wait until I get back from work to see what you posted.......     Yankees can beat Houston,   and will beat the Astros.


Huh?  You are totally out of touch with reality here.  The whole reason pride came into existence is to fight these things you speak of.  Most of these problems went away years ago.  You are just talking about things that don't happen hardly anymore.  Nobody is protesting the treatment of police in Canada.  This concept of blame the police is a misguided concept from the USA where it is totally misrepresented. Canada's real version of BLM is missing and murdered indigenous women, this issue will never be solved because they don't want it to be.  BLM doesn't want the issue to be solve either, cause then what would they do.  BLM is a selfish misguided movement and Pride is becoming this way also.


the difference it the constitution is the law and thus an originalist is making the rulings on the ultimate law of the land. It can be changed by constitutional amendment of course but that takes hard work and the support of the majority of states etc, thus knowing they can not get that support try to subvert the law by getting activist judges appointed.


Mark Twain said: “History doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes”.

It’s premature & excessive to brand the Trump phenomena fascism (or Trump & the contending factions in & on the margins of the GOP as quasi-fascist).  It is reasonable, however, to assert that:

1. Significant segments of US society are frustrated, anxious & angry with personal prospects & for their country & thus open to charismatic, deeply reactionary populism buttressed by violent measures & unrestrained by respect for legal norms;

2. Internal GOP dynamics rewards demagogues that can mobilize that reactionary passion; &

3. Thus, the shambolic Trump & GOP faction circus, the increasing licence they & their supporters give to police street violence & to exclusion & persecution of minorities etc. sets a pattern that could in the near future be exploited by a well led, clear-eyed, purposeful, truly fascist movement & leader.


Don't flatter yourself.  I'm not accusing you of being Trump. I'm pointing out that you have the same pathology as Trump.  An affinity for conflict and vindictiveness. And speaking of being childish, your compulsive need to follow me around to feebly attempt rebutting my comments makes you about as infantile as it gets.


Wow, RR, talk about mixing topics! Shannyn is writing about statewide politics, not national.  I guess you couldn't come up with another state legislator as wacky as Munoz so you drag in an ex-President? Desperate to put in your opinion?


New Orleans has incompetent mismanagement just like Detroit.


Perfect! Let them fight it out, and maybe they will spend less time trying to terrorize the West. I think this is great, and I think we have Obama to thank for it. What has 40 plus years of supporting the even more fanatical Sunnis brought us? It has brought us Al Qaeda, the Taliban and ISIS. These groups are all Sunnis. Loosening the grip on Iran under Obama, allows Shias to challenge American backed Sunni dominance in the region and makes them a more equal match, which is precisely what we want. Iran may make a lot of noise, but they are much less harmful than our neanderthal "friends" over there, the Saudis, Emiratis, etc. And, by the way Hezbollah is Israels problem not ours, and they deserve it.


These are supposed to be specially screened individuals who would not succumb to the acute stress to which they knew they would be exposed to as special forces .

While my sympathy goes to the individuals who were improperly screened , how about the screening process which permits these ill suited individuals to be accepted into SF?

Never said it did, but semi-autos can be good for defense as well as offense.

Well - at least you must admit we face you head on -

Not at all like you do, hiding behind laughing face emoticons and directing snarly comments behind the backs of those you attempt to belittle.


What are the easy fixes?


Yes.  Kasich or Rubio would probably be pretty far ahead right now.  The GOP base wasted a winnable election so they could have a tantrum.

Making the minimum wage an actual living wage would go a long way.  Every single worker no matter if they are flipping burgers or stocking shelves deserves the dignity of being paid enough to provide the basics.  It is despicable that the wealthiest nation in the world continues to permit massive swaths of their citizens to live like corporate slaves.

Single payer universal healthcare would also be quite helpful with homelessness.

Bernie 2020!


You put in time and effort to respond to my boring comment and twit-ishness to reach the wrong conclusion resulting in you contradicting yourself, and you present as a Canada hating Putin loving troll.  You may want to work on that or sweeten your disposition.


I will jog your memory, Washington Times January 14th 2015 Soros gave 33 million to the BLM and support groups already established in the Ferguson riots according to his most recent tax filings of his non profit open society foundation and millions more since than probably even to these counter BLM and other protesters in Charlotesville  and anywhere else that will have riots so Soros is paying these groups to riot that's where there money is coming from there is your proof look it up and read for yourself.


But it appears that you have learned nothing on your own.


3 returning sophomores? The ILH won't let you play varsity football as a 9th grader. Which is a good idea.  Back when I played, 1970s, I don't ever recall a 9th grader being on a OIA varsity roster. Who knows when they started to allow freshman to play varsity football?


some real truth to this comment


Try to think of one.


You're hopeless Boots, you still got to see his tax return like you wanted and now you dilly dally that you aren't satisfied after seeing his tax return. Maybe you want to check the Donald's stool sample to make sure he didn't eat Russian cow meat?


Why do some people feel compelled to distort and create gross caricatures of other people's points?

Do they have that low an opinion about the general reader's intelligence that they think those  readers won't immediately see their caricatures as an amateurish, low information, neuronally-tepid way of trying to score points?

I just don't understand these people.


"Accident"???

I was taught many years ago - in a local news organization - that "crash" is more appropriate usage.


An average full-time ASD employee makes about $62,100 in annual salary. The benefits package for that employee is $28,800, making that employee's total annual cost to the district around $90,900.http://www.asdk12.org/budget/understanding/

I put little to no stock in civil cases. The American tort system, especially when weighed against other governments tort systems, is waaaaay too loose. I've always been suspicious of the fact that many accusers will, even in the near absence of SOL, bypass the criminal process and try to circumvent the much shorter SOL's in civil cases. It smacks of monetary greed and rumor often carries more weight than truth.


Okay, she gets all twenty votes and the opportunity to speak at the republican convention. Maybe Trump will invite her to the White House when she takes control of the Hawaii national delegation.  A nightmare.... why?

Funny how suddenly freedom of the press is somehow a bad thing.

Fact is, Obama was the target of the alt-right media (Fox, Brietbart, etc etc etc) for eight years. Where was your caterwauling then?


This initiative concerns me on many levels.........first, why is the only location available one that is owned by the group who wrote the initiative? Second, I'm worried about how the ordinance would allow pot wholesalers and processors to potentially locate in Creswell. Even if it was only in commercial and industrial areas, wouldn't this be a potential  conflict as well, since One Grov already had 2 farms East of Cottage Grove with 40,000 plants? Do they already own a place where they can "process" their plants if this is passed? And wouldn't having processors in city limits cause our town to smell like marijuana? Third, the article made a reference to the town Apple was "born" in. I don't think I want our little town to become the "Apple" equivalent in the marijuana community. Forth, the article references large sums of money that could be generated from tax breaks. In theory this sounds great, in reality, however, how much goes to the community? Any statistics on other towns?

If there was a crime, then the police would presumably have acted.

The senate rules are pretty clear, it has to be a crime, treason, bankruptcy, perjury, or failing to meet property requirements.

I do not really buy this cult of "room-cleaning" or keeping only those items that "sparks joy". Usually, a disorganized living space is a symptom of the owner's unmet basic needs like healthy diet, medical need/disability, social needs for love and companionship, a sense of security. Humans have a hierarchy of needs.

Often we point fingers at those whose space is untidy and yell "GET YOURSELF SORTED OUT" but this is equivalent to victim blaming and punishment by assigning busywork. My evidence comes from reading Victor Frankl's book Man's Search for Meaning. When Frankl was working as a doctor in the typhus block he "...was responsible to the camp authorities for keeping the hut clean. The pretense at cleanliness inspection was pure torture than hygiene when more food and a few drugs would have helped."(according to the author's own words)


Would be nice if you could say why..

E.g., do you support Assad?  A corrupt Muslum terrorist?  Or why do you say this?

tip: complete thoughts go a long way...


no-one addresses the fact the tarriffs are justified. The lumber, we provide crown land at no cost, the US has to rent/buy whatever.  20% tarriff. Makes sense government subsidy.... Next.. The government again subsidized massively a private company, stacking the deck against an american company.. Sounds reasonable and likely as well.  Just show us the math and we can confirm what's true.   All we do is hear half facts, and conjecture, then people fight about it.  Let's simply demand actual facts, not guesses from government.

And here is my bias that I don't think I can overcome. I don't believe any woman freely chooses to erase their identity in public. That it is a product of a misogynistic culture they've been socialized to believe in. You've also named my biggest fear, if Christianity is a minority. What if the majority want us to wear this garment? That it has become normalized in our society. I believe it's okay to have minimum standards in society. We have a social contract when we're in the public sphere. For instance, we're not allowed to walk around naked. We've all agreed that is a minimum standard in the public sphere. The opposite, to cover yourself so completely as to negate any and all identification, perhaps also goes against the social contract? In my opinion. I cannot help but see it as a garment of oppression and misogyny.


The country protects free speech, all the way around. This however is not a free speech issue. The government isn't involved in refusing to book this white nationalist conference. A private resort made a business decision. That's how freedom works. Free speech does not require the general public to step aside and listen to it.


"Illegals For Hillary" I wonder if "Idiots for Trump" or "War Starters for Trump" would also be removed using whatever criteria Lydia uses to determine "civility".  My guess would be no.  Do any sanctimonious hypocrites out there want to use the moniker and test my guess?

Lydia could have at least changed your moniker to something that reflects your sarcasm as opposed to something that reflects being pro HRC.   Even better, instead of changing your moniker, Lydia should have contacted you and told you the moniker will have to be changed by xxx or all comments will be deleted.

I am beginning to despise civil comments.


Vote for the Curz amendment, which allows OBAMAcare to remain in place, but allows insurance companies to offer other policies without the OBAMAcare mandates on coverage and give We the People the right to choose.


Seriously doubt they will.  Airbus doesn't need to bury them now.  Airbus now has controlling interest in an advanced aircraft design that beats anything they can put on the market in that category.
The biggest drawback for sales of this aircraft was the concern that Bombardier may go under and no longer support the aircraft.
This is no longer an issue.
If Bombardier looks to go under, Airbus has first dibs to scoop up the remaining interest in the C series for peanuts.
The C series will remain strong with Bombardier or not.
Airbus has already won.  Boeing lost.  Bombardier may get some of the scraps.
The deal is too sweet for Airbus to hang them out to dry.  They stand to make a lot of profit from this aircraft now before Boeing can catch up.


Three observations
Interesting and surprising Quebec City is not on list of top ten high earners; perhaps not good news for Quebec NHL team aspirations.
Surprised at gap between Montreal and Toronto . To think they were "even up" at one time. Wealth and true value creation in Montreal would help our Canadian economy.
Resource industry wealth creation. I read some of the comments that would say " this is an aberation" , that since the oil price collapse , this chart probably looks different ( Vancouver back into third spot?)  but its hard to deny that resource industry is an important piece of our Canadian wealth creation pinging right down to T-4 income .

I'm highly skeptical that O'Leary would win a general election.  He is too much like Trump, and most Canadians abhor Trump.  There's also the fact that we will have the opportunity to watch Trump screw up left, right & centre well before the next election.  Getting rid of the ACA will rub Canadians the wrong way, and will shaft the working poor in America.  His meddling with Dodd-Frank could well unleash another recession, and his first major initiative -- this travel ban -- has been shot down by lower courts and when it makes it to the Supreme Court, it will likely be shot down there, too.
However, it is possible that Trump policies could do a lot of damage to the Canadian economy, and if that happens, well, few sitting P.M.s have survived bad economies during elections.
Like many people I was quite surprised by Trump's win, but at least in Canada we will likely see the train go off the tracks and take a step back from naive, arrogant, loud-mouthed populism.


Yes, there may have been $3 billion paid out in 'vaccine court' over many years.  Someone with critical thinking skills though recognizes that without vaccines, if something like small px were to swing through again, the costs could effectively reach 25% of the US economy (~ $17 trillion) per year. But anti-vaxxers instead always prove they are (at least) a brick short of a load.


One thing for sure – the DA does not "represent white interests".


Shame some don't realize that Obama is no longer president and also that the Donald had promised he would release his tax returns.  Face it the Donald is just a liar.  Liar liar pants on fire.  lol

And Obama's old records wouldn't reveal much.  Who cares if Obama got a C or an A 20 years ago? Donald's tax returns might reveal how much he owes Russian interests among other things.  Come on Donald, fulfill at least one of your good promises.  You are fulfilling promises that will make America rotten to the core.

There's no mention in this article about these 'men' saying they were a family and that they were there to get a degree. Well, so was the woman that was raped. The police should be ashamed for not taking this to court. Poor babies lives will have to live with their expulsion while this woman will have to live with being raped by a dozen men. How tragic for them.


It seems a bit odd that he's not on leave pending the outcome of the criminal investigation.


I never mentioned the boycott, because it doesn't really factor into anything at all. You may consider those who hold a different opinion than you "immature" -- that's your right, of course -- but that is hardly speaking from a place of maturity either.

"I would much rather support an American corporation."

We agree on this. Even better, I would much rather support a local business whose profits are primarily kept in the local area.


I'm confused. Didn't the Tories introduce the 67 eligibility criterion and the Liberals reversed it? And now the Liberals want to bring in back.

And I thought the Liberals campaigned on deficits to pay for this kind of thing.


Wow. So much hatred and anger from someone who says he wants a "caring and compassionate" president.  Something's wrong with this picture.  It all starts at home K.  You will never change anybody.  But yourself, maybe.  So try working on that anger and hatred.  Just saying...


Oh, Chad, you are a naughty boy, this thread is definitely designed as emotional click bait.

EV batteries are fully recyclable, and unlike the lead acid batteries in gas cars, are completely non-toxic and do not contain any heavy metals.
An EV battery contains around 10 kg of recyclable lithium versus the 10,000’s of kilograms of gasoline that is burnt by a gas car over its life.
Contrast the minimal impact of battery production with the numerous waste streams produced by gasoline powered cars, which include: all of the toxic by-products of mining, extracting processing and refining the fuels, the tonnes of emissions produced by each gasoline car each year, the billions of litres of polluted engine oil, transmission fluid and coolants resulting from servicing gas powered cars, the contamination from underground fuel tanks, pipeline leaks, train and truck accidents, the groundwater impacts of fracking, the pollution of the oceans from spills, ballast water and oil well blow outs, etc.
Oil production is clearly orders of magnitude more toxic and harmful than batteries.


Oh wait, that can't be another shooting, let alone a home invasion, in south Anchorage, which is supposed to be one of the safest places to buy a home.  Glad the homeowner survived the shooting.  Anchorage residents can't even go to bed at night without someone prowling through the neighborhood to burglarize.  Geeez people.


I thought that maybe, just maybe , you would have a concern for the inidividuals Trump has slagged on twitter -just because they disagree. And what happens if a Trump supporter decides to self investigate those people and  something untoward happens?  Donald doesn't understand he is no longer an individual - rightly or wrongly he is the President and as such his words -even if they are small and only made up of 140 characters carry weight

I'd love to have seen the squealing if he'd taken advantage of our historic opportunity. Oh well, maybe NEXT time the Republicans run the car into the ditch we'll not waste any time compromising with them.


Do they know they need defensemen?


Yeah, I am sure those guys in Hawaii get a lot of glacier practice on Diamond Head


The laughable thing is that they don't allow services like Uber for safety reasons but in the meantime companies like Oregon Taxi can take 1+ hours to show up, have horrible drivers who hit on women (and men), and vehicles that are on the verge of breaking down.

You can't eliminate bad people everywhere but overall I think Uber has a better and safer service.


The Donald has been forthcoming on so much, I can see why Allie says what she says.  Say, do you think the Donald will ever be honest and tell the truth for a change?  I don't.  Allie is correct in saying that the Donald has no plan.  All it takes for the Donald to prove Allie wrong is to release it.  But it probably will be released at the same time his tax returns are.  In other words, don't hold your breath.


Build a wall!


As one who tows an RV trailer behind my truck I will simply say that at 55 mph in a 55 mph  zone I am not hindering traffic. It is complying with the traffic laws.


It's curious--  the focus here is on the need for more boats, more planes, and more soldiers when recent experience shows we are most vulnerable to cyber-attack. If we really are so weak and vulnerable to physical attack, are the Pentagon and Congress so clueless that they see no reason not to advertise this to the world?


Are you sure there's not an extra "O" in the first name of your log-in?


Consider Trump's decision to call the president of Taiwan in the context of China's recent diplomatic snub of Obama. The American President arrived on the tarmac in China in Air Force One for a summit and was greeted by... not much. No senior officials, no red carpet, not even a stairwell to disembark from the plane. Obama had to use the folding stairs built in the plane to exit via the back door. This from a country and culture that values protocol as much as China represents a very deliberate insult. Trump is replying in kind, and putting China on notice that his administration will be very different than Obama.


A government intervention is/was needed.  Canadian residents need to be able to afford to buy or rent a place to live.  Foreign capital used to monoplize housing in Canada should not be allowed.

What was going on in the GTA housing market was a market failure; something had to be done.

Now, what is a reasonable price for a house in 2017? Would a 4 - 6% year-over-year price increase be considered reasonable? If that is the case, if one pays about 80% over the 2005 sale prices or about 60% over 2007, that should be ok. Paying for a property that has increased in value much more than those percentage increases would be too much and bound to fall either in the short-term or plateau in the long term.

You got that wrong, Bristan.  The oil belongs to the state and therefore the money that's received from the sale of the oil also belongs to the state.  Be happy that the state has provided residents an annual PFD for the past 35 years.  It's time to  give back to the state to pay its bills.  The state can giveth and taketh away.

Lighting along Chester creek: so they can see you jogging and load their gun quicker

Lighting in Valley of the Moon: so they can aim their handguns better at night

Muldon community gathering place: so you don't have to do drug deals in the Walmart parking lot

Inclusive playground equipment: how is a equipment designed for a paraplegic going to be any fun for 99 percent of the users?

More importantly how pathetic do you have to be to try and raise our property taxes [once again] by guilt tripping us into thinking kids are crying in front of non inclusive playground equipment because we aren't paying for your workers to do the city's nonessential busy work?

As far as I am concerned your activists do the trades a diservice with this type of pandering!


If you mean low oil prices yea, blame Obama.


I disagree with the author's reasoning.

President Trump didn't ban immigration from countries because they are Muslim majority countries. He banned immigration from specific countries that are known terrorist breeding grounds. And more to the point, he banned people from those countries based on citizenship, not religion.

For all the upset directed at the US right now for these (temporary) measures, I haven't seen a similar outcry directed against Saudi Arabia or other wealthy, Muslim, gulf states that could help these refugees, but aren't. I wonder why?

Thoughts?


Before we start killing the homeless my I suggest starting with stiff penalties for giving street people money on the streets . When that doesn't work add another law making it illegal to sell liquor within 5 miles of a school or church. Ok, there's still bars but that makes the booze so expensive it's sure to cut down on public drunkenness. Maybe just try one law that is directed at curbing the problem instead of another sb that , by reducing penalties only increases the problem. Start by eliminating the drunken panhandles from our neighborhoods that camp out behind the liquor stores.Next, we go after the drug addicts. Or just maybe we elect people who can see what the current government has done to us. Mill tax, income tax, sales tax, federal tax, more tax, more tax, more tax!  New government is our only option. Stop voting for these same people. When ask which do you prefer,a new  income or sales tax, tell them a new government. For starters, stop voting for oil company employees .


I am all for the pipeline decisions but it is more than a stretch to connect them with consumer sentiment


Never said or even insinuated it's their fans alone who use drugs.  That's more your bias of me showing.  Reality is that many of the "harder" bands attract those crowds (mosh-pit types).  Been to quite a few of the concerts, and one reason I started avoiding them is simply because of the fans.

Good luck to this area with this concert.  My guess is it's gonna be a mess.


Constrast the down's syndrome example with the other candidate who would see no moral issue with destroying that child in womb and call it "mercy." That was the choice.


Inspirational!  This Great Man of God takes time out of his busy schedule to offer us this teaching, although it wasn't really directed to the laity, but  how fortunate we are to receive the crumbs that fall from the bishops' table.  I look forward to the future now that the Man endorsed by the Bishops will be President and will begin enacting the Christian policies he so often discussed, with the sincere approval of the Men the Holy Spirit chose to lead the One True Church.


The comments section appear to better reflect how Canadians really feel ...the pollster should be held accountable for the accuracy/inaccuracy of his comments.


'Crowing that Harper didn't get pipelines built when, it was the "progressives," that stonewalled every project, is much the same".

And the same applies to Obama and the Republicans - right?


Despite the fact that Trump is a "useful idiot" for the Russians, he is unlikely to be removed from office even if found to be conspiring with the Russians because he is also a useful idiot for the GOP establishment.  With few exceptions like McCain and Graham, today's GOP places more importance upon party politics than the best interests of the United States.

"A refugee must claim asylum in the first safe country" is the refugee policy of the Eurozone. Australia is not part of the Eurozone. If you are traveling by boat from Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan or Somalia, about the only international waters you would possibly pass through before getting to Australia would be India and Indonesia.

Bravo GM!
The arrogant union president is doing everything he can to ensure his antiquated union organization remains in power to counter the market-driven world of manufacturing. His best friend (Ms. Wynne) is not going to be able to save him this time around.

GM has lots of options and can close Cami in a heartbeat. Job security? What does Jerry think GM is - a government bureaucracy where accountability is meaningless ? He had better clean up his act or his union membership is going to realize the age of the union is headed for the history book. GM has the capability of sending a valuable message. The other car manufacturers are watching.

Wake up and smell the coffee. People will buy GM vehicles no matter where they are sourced from. Especially if the cost of the vehicle isn't hampered by electricity costs.  Unifor knows this too.

Sorry Jerry: your organization is becoming meaningless. Quickly.


Anyone who isn't going to be part of the current do-nothing Legislative Majority has my vote.


So STEALING private property is for the "common good"? Sounds like Communism to me.


Is there not something inherently repugnant about this practice? Would it be okay if sports arenas, movie theaters and other venues adopted this policy? I understand that companies like to maximize revenues, but at what cost? Shouldn't there be a law against this?


The teachings of the church evolved.  They did not spill out suddenly.  The questions that the Church has discussed for centuries, the divinity and humanity of Christ, as well as questions that emerged a few yeas ago.  There were two hundred years between the councils of Nicea and Chalcedon in which to discuss the theology of Christ.  If you have the idea that every question was solved immediately by some foreign person, and that any kind of discussion of our faith is a sign of
unfaithfulness, weakness, or relativism----there is a real difficulty to that kind of understanding.

A different atmosphere has to be created in which people can understand what's REALLY central, and what is new.  And lets not have the same criteria imposed for the new issues as they have for the issues that have been discussed for centuries or millennia.


Do Toronto Island residents pay property taxes on assessed values resembling other similar Toronto residents?


I think it is yourself who needs a more reliable teacher.
The  ouncil of Trent on the Sacrifice of the Mass.
"CANON III.--If any one saith, that the sacrifice of the mass is only a sacrifice of praise and of thanksgiving; or, that it is a bare commemoration of the sacrifice consummated on the cross, but not a propitiatory sacrifice; or, that it profits him only who receives; and that it ought not to be offered for the living and the dead for sins, pains, satisfactions, and other necessities; let him be anathema."
The Masss is not a "re-enactment" it is the re-presentation of Christ's sacrifice on Calvary.
The Council of Trent specifically taught this against the Protestant reformers who like you claimed the Mass was not a sacrifice but merely a memorial meal. If you disagree, show any teaching of the Church which contradicts the doctrine of the Sacrifice of the Mass.


Pence is not only "seasoned" but he has been in the oven too long and is well done.  Pence comes with a lot of baggage and is so out of sync with the Donald there will be lot of confused voters. LOL


You obviously have no clue what you are talking about Bubbles!


To be honest, economics aside, if downtown, Capstone, and much of the construction in the University district is indicative of the aesthetic direction Eugene is taking, then I may end up relocating myself.


Keep wondering, you stone-cold cretin.


These are public records. You can look up any Colorado voter on the internet.


I take it that you have no objection to underwriting the employment cost of companies who pay low wages when their employees are forced to rely on taxpayer funded social supports to make ends meet.

Since the working poor have to spend their money a minimum wage would put more money in circulation and drive up demand with minimal effects on inflation.

A guaranteed annual income would be a better solution and the ongoing debate over minimum wage levels would disappear.


Judging by the march in San Diego, it looked like the same audience that shows up to the usual feminist/LBGQT/black lives matter protests.  If you want to be taken seriously, probably best advisable to not wear a vagina costume.


Of course a gender-based budget falls short, it only addresses half the population.


You are 100% wrong again.  Retail interlopers without a plan are the biggest losers.  The biggest winners are technical momentum guys. This is supported in HFR and other hedge fund data sets.

the other winners are HFT traders...High Frequency guys with the lowest latency, sitting on bids and asks.  Micheal Lewis wrote a good book on the topic called Flash Boys.

I understand you are well meaning, but what you say just ain't right.


Pogrom???
To call 46 people arrested and released a pogrom is a mockery. Why is it insufficient for media these days to simply report the truth and count on readers to know what to make of it?


He sounds like a nice young man but his choices with major programs on the mainland were slim.  I think he did the right thing given those prospects.


Where exactly do these "facts" of yours come from debtfreezone? Put your sources out there and then we can debate them.


Just Google "sky lantern" fire and there are some clear cases. Don't know if it is worthy of banning, but it is what it is.


Thanks for the stupidest post I have read in months.
With absolutely no evidence you have slandered the Auditor General simply because her INDEPENDENT findings match the INDPENDENT findings of the Fraser Institute.  This, of course, should be no surprise because the AG has access to the full hospital records whereas the Fraser Instituted surveyed the doctors involved in providing care.
I was wondering how the left was going to duck the fact that the Fraser Insitutue's report was effectively verified by the AG and now I know, by slandering the AG.


Only one killer, one too many - a "very white" Québécois, racist, misogynistic and intolerant, born in Quebec. The young Mohamed El Khadir has NOTHING to do with the killing of 6 innocent persons. Violence is simply inexcusable.
My best thoughts are with the grieving Muslim families.
Regards.


Jim Crow laws, yes.


Excellent post! But that is too common sense for the cry-baby snowflake left. He beheaded a total stranger then started to eat him, but of course it wasn't his fault at all you know, the poor baby was sick and can't be faulted to killing another human being. What, you want to put him in jail, what kind of alt-right trump supporting fanatic are you? He should be treated kindly, with kid gloves, he needs, no he DESERVES millions of dollars of treatment, not a jail sentence.  Sarcasm incase the dim witted left can't figure it out.


Where's the calculation considering a wholesale re-write of SB21, including ending of oil tax credits?  These 2 issues would be the greatest ones in resolving the deficit.


Thank you so very much. I appreciate all your hard work to keep our beaches beautiful. I love beachcombing and it always breaks my heart to see garbage taking away from the beauty of Alaska.


Very good read and spot on.  When they write contracts around the globe for $2, $3, $4 per barrel of oil then get $25-$35 per barrel in Alaska you know our legislature is in the bag.  Citizens write legislation most other places but not Alaska, here industry writes legislation.  Whom are they going to support.  Term limits anyone?


The transition team knew that Flynn had been acting as a foreign agent for Turkey during the campaign. The transition team knew Flynn had contact with Kislyak before the infamous call. Today we learned the transition team knew Flynn was under federal investigation for that Turkey work during the campaign.

The transition team allowed Flynn to become Natl. Sec. Advisor.

The folks on the transition team have some 'splainin' to do.

Guess who was the head of the transition team.

If this goes where it could, Pence should be toast along with Trump. And hopefully Ryan loses his post when the Freedom Caucus and the Alt-Right throws a shit fit over all this.

Mr. Heinbecker is trapped in the 1960's.
Germany is no longer any threat to its neighbours. In fact, it leads the EU in immigration and is a strong promoter of human rights and freedoms and has been for many years now. The EU has morphed from a security union into a bloated, bureaucratic org. interfering in its members trade, immigration and Gov't policies. Brexit was a logical response to it.
NATO is not obsolete, but Trump is correct when he states that member countries are not pulling their financial weight and that NATO has ignored the terrorist threat.
Trump's criticism of Merkel allowing 1.2 million refugees to immigrate to Germany might seem harsh, but there have been incidents with some of them and even Merkel has apologized for that decision.
Finally, there is no mention of Obama's weak responses to Russian and Chinese aggression during his Presidency, which is the main reason why Putin and Xi Jinping have been able to dominate and intimidate their neigbours.


POTUS Biden will put the US back


From the article...."She does say she was offered her manager's office in which to smudge, but found it unacceptable, as it was someone else's "personal space" and was not a place others could use. "


Or maybe you are wrong, ever had that cross your mind?


IF the Russians did hack Hillary's emails from her UNSECURED servers, they did  us a HUGE favor.   Those hacks PROVED that Hillary was a liar and a cheater!  We owe them big time!


Ahhh...yet another problem solved with alcohol and guns.  Good thinking!  /s


This mans criminal record had nothing to do with the news story.  Some ADN writers have a perchance of including gratis criminal histories to fill out their articles.  Thankfully, by law, they can't include anything that is not public information ... but there should be a law against cheap shots!  I'm not defending the guy, I'm just against yellow journalism.


There are ways to compel the required documents without granting immunity. These should be tried first. The question of whether the Fifth applies to documents as well as personal testimony is not completely clear cut.


"...Why was Trudeau smirking throughout?..."

'cause Butts told him this was a commercial for the new season of his reality show "House of Commons", and Trudeau didn't quite see how this related to the usual script he reads from...


A friend of mine voted for Trump because as he puts it, Hillary should be in jail and only Trump can save the middle class.

Today, that same friend when asked what he though about Trumps nominations for cabinet positions responded with, 'well I haven't really been following things since the elections...'

Ugh!

Silly people did stupid things and now they aren't even paying attention to the consequences.

But the silver lining is we will have four great years of SNL.


"Because it's 2017..."  Women killers can walk free.  The judicial branch of this country in shambles.  "Because it's 2017..."


Regardless if my statement isn't 100% accurate, what was 100% accurate (and was my full point) is that it is NOT the taxpayers fault.


Typical, social/liberal logic.  The same mis-informed logic which career politicians have burned into the weak minded peons for years.  Basic facts:

The Federal Government was formed to work for the People of the Nation and was granted 'only specific' powers.  The State Governments were formed to work for the People living in that geographic area of the Nation and all powers not specified to the federal level were reserved to the state.

The Federal Government is not an entity unto it's self!  It is owned and "Funded" by all of the People!  The Federal Government spends "your" money!  State money, Federal money, it is all our money!  There is no free lunch!  Unless you work as a pusher of papers in a government job, producing nothing but more paperwork for other non productive government employee to shuffle.  Non productive jobs cost money!  Personally, the people would be better served at the local level where intelligence and common sense reside.


Yeah .. drain the swamp right into your basement apartment you moronic fool.


No stars for that pile.................


Lol yall are funny. Yea Sloter moved the ball pretty well but against 3rd stringers of one of the worst defenses last year. Maybe he moves up to 2nd stringers because paxton looked terrible (overthrowing, underthrowing, happy feet, not reading defenses) but its one preseason game and if it was based on this many GOATS would have been called busts. Just relax. If he ears it in practice he will move up. Next we will hear that henderson should be number one because he broke a big run. Relax. Lets not forget the lone TD was against a blown coverage. Im with VJ on this one ... not starting any drama over one game against 3rd stringers. I wanted it to be siemian but siemian is so siemian. Reminds me of Orton ... can show some flashes here and there but will never wow you. I'd hoped he would take the leap ... he still might. Its early.


Bring in the  Canadins! Backwards, docile and speak English.


Gossip about Leteng has been swirling around for the past four years. Even after Leteng was forced to resign (yes, NOT due to gossip about a mistress, but YES about the more recent allegation about money), there has been no explanation at all. How far are the allegations true? Who knows. An investigation was carried out by the Bishop of Bandung (secretary general of the Bishops' Conference), but we do not know its findings. If all bishops who used diocesan funds for family "resigned", I wonder how many would remain in Indonesia. In my humble estimation a good half of clergy lead healthy celibate lives.


On the other hand, Caldwell is now in lala-land, blaming others besides himself for the biggest disastrous project in our history.


If Trump's reasons for firing the FBI director were to impede an investigation, then no, he can't just fire him.  Based on the article and other things I have read, the firing may or may not have risen to the level of obstruction, but other actions may have.  We got to watch years of investigations that resulted in the blue dress, years of investigations that turned up the email server, and years of investigations that led to Nixon resigning.  Be patient, nothing may come of the investigation, or something may actually be there.  As I have said in numerous other posts, I'm betting that Trump had little to nothing to do with any collusion with Russia, but his actions in relation to the investigation are what will bring him down.  These things take time.


"We’re going to need scientifically sound, legally defensible tests for impaired driving caused by pot use."

If we are going to need such a test, then we have long needed such a test. A reminder that we lack a roadside screening device and legally defined blood concentration thresholds for a medicine cabinet full of legal and impairing substances, including OTC medications, cold remedies, tranquilizers, sedatives, sleep-aids, painkillers, anti-depressants and Marinol, the legal, synthetic THC pill.


No, it did not find its way into the bulletin. An unapproved group created it and distributed it in the parish.

The bishop incorrectly states that the parish did it, and that has since been clarified.

The actual material the parish distributed was in the October 30 bulletin and it complied with the bishops' guidelines.

I spent some time yesterday trying to run this down and found the parish website was down. While the parish website was down, Google archived the page at

http://ic-sandiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/346150BUL161030.pdf

and the alleged material was absent.


Has there ever been a moneymaking scheme that didn't make the leaders of Denver and the Denver Post salivate?


If you think any one should be in power for decades I would question your sanity


Only 12-percent of American voters, Trump supporters all, want dreamers deported. 12-percent. That likely includes most of the KKK, Neo-nazis, Trump and his kids, and White Nationalists. Putin's illicit vote is probably in there somewhere.


Can we ever knock down the walls of the wealthy ghetto?
Yes. Line them up against a wall and shoot them in the back ofthe head. It's what all communists like you really want. Admit it: it worked in 1917 and in 1949, so it can work here in Canada. Viva La Revolucion.


I don't think Trump is a racist. I think he's an amoral opportunist who will exploit anything or anybody to get what he wants. And since what he wants is largely made available to him by supporting white nationalism, voila!

To be willfully ignorant is bad, but to exploit the ignorance of others is worse. In my view, Trump is worse than a racist.


The phrase "economic migrant" is being censored by the Globe. Only the word "refugee " is allowed to be used by the Globalist anti-nationalist media. Obey! Follow! Submit! Adhere! Comply!


Do we have a MLB who is halfway decent so that we can cut Marshall?  Since getting his contract, he has been awful.


You've missed spoken.  What you meant to say was "I strongly believe healthcare should be an entitlement"


Sorry en, I don't agree with you about the media.  If you are truly interested in media balance, look back over 6 months or so of editorial opinions in the RG from the editors and all the out of town columnists that contribute.  Count pro and con relative to Trump.  The American people only differ by a small number of percent Trump vs HRC.  If you check you will find a media bias/polarization far far beyond that of the American people.  So yes, the media plural comprise a special interest group with predominantly homogeneous opinion that is out of line with that of the American people.


Look deplorables are already defending him raising money on the blood of other Republicans.  Well keep it up and I'm sure you will sow more fundraising opportunities.  They can't even conceive they could be responsible for ratcheting up the hate while ratcheting up the hate.  I guess what the GOP has just can't be fixed.  Sad decline for the GOP, but hey they made a few rich guys richer.  They sure as heck are going to screw every Colorado farmer this year.


If they would spend our money as if it were theirs, I truely believe our state would be so much money in the black. But, they pretty much don't need to be responsible for the way they spend it. Simple as that, folks.


The personal glider part is perhaps "easy" ...

“Nazis are a lot like cats. If they like you, it’s probably because you’re feeding them.”.  J. Oliver


Gentrification is defined as the process of renovating and improving a house or district so that it conforms to middle-class taste.  Who is it that gets to decide what “middle-class taste” is?   And, from my perspective, many of the newly-built mansions represent something higher than middle class.  Regardless, it is the job of the city government to control the construction of these homes through its zoning, building and permitting departments.  I think the city could do a better job of assuring that the new structures conform with the existing appearance and character of the neighborhood, instead of allowing something that sticks out like a sore thumb.  There will always be gentrification and neighborhood improvement.  These just need to be controlled properly.


"Will we heal a centuries-old culture of sexual abuse?"
Centuries-old?  Has there ever been a time, has there ever been a place, where women were not demeaned, abused, belittled, assaulted?  I would love to be educated about such a culture, if one has ever existed.   How is it that in the twenty-first century we still have to send our daughters to college knowing that there is a significant chance that they will be sexually assaulted during their time there?  The "radical feminism" much maligned by some in the Church and elsewhere is just the willingness to look all these ugly truths in the face.  And yes, Sister Christine, we do thank God for strong women and good men!


Mom Tay says, " . . . sorry she taught her daughter to be so polite." How can anyone deny such compelling testimony? That, folks, is as good as any smoking gun. Case closed. The end. Give the money to the poor; it's a victory for women around the world. (Pardon me while I barf)
