Oooh, I love it.  A sort of "I know you are but what am I comment".  Another missive from your kindergarten years.  Just so you know, smart people are absolutely not intimidated by stupid MAGAphant lapdogs who are willfully ignorant about what is happening around them.  I'm sure you've spent many years trolling and getting no response.  kind of like your idiotic baby-in-chief.  I love having you on such a short leash.  Keep it up, it really makes my day watching MAGAphants like you and your exploding head friends, as your racist, homophobic, fat white, leader spirals out of control (I assume you're probably a portly white guy also).  Of course you realize he has to keep you guys here, in Charlottesville, and West Virginia foaming at the mouth so that when he is out of office you can all retreat to some white trash community to make a new life with your fellow despicables.  Please more comments I'm really having fun.  I'm sure there are other kindergarten favorites.


You do realize that segregation of the sexes is not limited to Islam right? What about Orthodox Judaism? It's just as sexist. Come to think of it Catholicism is pretty sexist too.


Sorry SD, I do not agree with you.  Hillary had declared that she wanted a no-fly zone in Syria, which in my opinion would have protected terrorists and prolonged the suffering of civilians.  Additionally, and significantly, Hillary's arrogant no-fly zone would have brought us into direct conflict with Russia who would have in my opinion responded with nuclear force to the downing of  Russian planes by American jets.  Nobody gets upset about NK.  And yes, it is time for the US to retreat from paying for the world's wars.  Contrary to your suggestion about other countries arming themselves, we would likely see greater attention to peace and nonviolent conflict resolution.  They do not want to pay for their own standing armies.  Confrontation is fine if someone else is paying for it.  Trump's retreat from carte blanche funding of world conflict is better for all.  So yes, I think the "concerns" of the Hillary crowd are very very profoundly confused.


Why should the EPA have anyone go to a special interest group gathering?


As I said, you have bought into the idea that the stoics came up with, that sex must be "justified" by procreation. It flies in the face of the experience of the vast majority of married couples, who have sexual intercourse with no intention whatsoever of procreating. Indeed, most of the time, procreation is not wanted -- that's why people use contraceptives.


Finally!  This is the way to go, assuming the bad idea of rail is going to persist.  Tourists will be reluctant?  Well, maybe the hotels could adjust prices accordingly.  About time skyrocketing hotel revenues made it into local benefit, and off the planes headed to parts unknown.  C'mon legislators.  Get behind this.  HELP your consituents instead of helping who knows who.


For years Burke has trumpeted the authority of the pope, and condemned those who questioned that authority.  Of course, that was when he agreed with what popes were doing.  Today, Burke doesn't like what Francis is doing, so he now feels free to attack the pope.  Frankly, Burke's problem is a mix of hypocrisy and self-idolatry.  He doesn't practice what he has preached for decades.  As well, he thinks popes are right when they agree with him, and wrong when they don't.  He follows himself.  In terms of the Church, he's a 'fair weather friend' - willing to be part of the team when it agrees with him, and willing to attack the team when it doesn't bow down in awe before him.


I don't expect anything else from the loyal opposition.


Wait til Cleveland….It will be worse inside the Republican Convention than outside on the streets.

President Chainy?    I suggest you need to do a bit of fact checking before posting.  🙄


I worked for ASP in Willow for several years. The biggest problem is there are not enough rangers to check on this activity or empty the iron rangers. The money collected should be going to hire more personnel. If the fee booths are manned for more hours , the iron rangers aren't used, hence nothing to steal.


The last line in this article is pretty important: "Combined with his base salary, Mokrohisky should receive $235,690 in pay and benefits during the next year".  And all I'd like is to not have my pay decrease ....


I was just using it to point out how bad Catholic youth programs are.  Very few people formally date in high school or college now.  Yet Catholic social mixers seem to be geared to pushing kids into serious relationship and early marriages like the 1950s.

Here is another example.  When I was in high school, I was jealous of the Protestant kids got to go on mission trips.  We did not.  The Catholic youth group was geared toward middle schoolers and the young adult group was for people in their 30s who were married.  There was very little for people in their 20s who are not married.


You'd also have to be ignorant to think that further investigation of 'Trump collusion' is worth the effort.  What's really happening is the unmasking of all the underhanded colluding Madame Clinton was involved in with the Clinton Foundation, the bribery accepting, extorting, etc. while she was in office under the libby's favorite guy Barrack.  I'm seeing all the CNNs, MSNBCs, Vox's, Huffington Posts change their focus now that the real colluding culprits are being exposed as a result of the fictional dossier.  60,000 feet looking down, President Trump plain didn't have the time or the means available to him to do all the colluding that the Dems and libbies are suspicious of....the physical means just are not there like they are for the Clintons.   The foreign meddling here is clearly against the Republicans. I see this investigation going the wrong way for the Dems and the DNC.  That's what will end it.  Oh...and they'll keep losing elections as a consequence...


How unfortunate, my heart goes out to everyone involved. At least they were doing something they enjoyed and made them happy, as  terrifying it may have been.


One bit of Zuma's personal life that is very clouded is his time in Angola as ANC intelligence boss. What really happened in Camp Quattro and the other ANC camps? That story seems to be unknown and unasked by the Press.


The human enhanced pace of dangerous climate change is a reality and Canada has a valuable role to play in global efforts to reverse that pace.  Arguably that role is to illustrate by concrete action that a modern, advanced economy can materially reduce its carbon footprint without tanking its economic prospects.  It is the absence of proof on this point that is a major drag on global efforts to take more than token steps to address the existential threat currently posed by climate change.

Gwyn Morgan expresses the position that it vis essentially pointless for Canada to address climate change while too many of those convinced by the evidence supporting the climate change thesis are not prepared to develop sound concrete and workable models for transition to a dramatic reduction in net carbon emissions.

A well designed carbon tax regime can be an effective cornerstone for an effective middle course that would constitute the valuable Canadian contribution I describe.


Better checking in this one by these Buds. Good defence, always sets up good offence!  If these guys  keep  improving and working like this,  good things  are bound to come their way in the second half. Nice balanced game from almost everyone!  Hats off to McElhenny, pretty good start.


It seems like sticking heads in the sand is perfectly acceptable when the cure/prevention for serious disease is inexpensive.

Progress, my foot.  Profit and dollar signs are popping up all around this one.


I did request an explanation as to why people who find the Catholic Church's doctrines problematic remain in the Church.
If one was a Democrat would one join the Republican Party?


Just like they did Downtown, nothing!


It is a desperation move by a cynical and unscrupulous politician. It is as daft and tone-deaf as Cameron calling the Brexit referendum or Tony Blair allowing votes on loosening the ties between the UK's constituent countries.


Well, you know what they say: "jump in bed with Caesar and you're bound to get screwed - only not in a good way."


"The approach, known as the Philadelphia model, is considered the gold standard in police accountability."
By who? Had anyone in Canada, outside of activists, even heard of it before last month?


Yes.  Looks like the US military industry will be the biggest benefactor of his push for increased spending.  Good time to invest in the US if the sales go through.


It (the news conference) does speak for itself, its true.  But if you don't have the time or inclination, these articles sum up what happened quite accurately.


Bang on.  McGill is fumbling badly lately.


Thinly disguised presentation clearly government is giving in to Trump demand to increase military spending as per NATO guideline

Lets be honest and call it what it is..


Walker has been an absolute DISASTER. He's obsession with building a gas line has no basis in reason or fact and will lose the state billions. And now his latest obsession is taking money out of the pockets of the people (and the state economy) by robbing the Permanent Fund
and giving it back to the oil companies in the form of tax credits.  The Permanent Fund is not a piggy bank that can be tapped because the legislators don't have the courage to cut the budget or stop the $800 million tax giveaway to Big Oil. ANY CHANGES to the Permanent Fund must be in the form of a referendum voted on by all of the people of Alaska. At least we knew Parnell was nothing but an oil industry lobbyist. Walker, the so-called "independent" is nothing more than a naïve fool  and a tool of Big Oil.


The only real hate groups I see right now are the organized extremists on the left who hate President Trump.


What next?  Time to boycott NIKE


How is it ridiculous?


You are correct that sales tax doesn't cover schools or the RFA, but that is due to previous stupid policy choices, where  services of general benefit are paid for by specific taxes.  People who study political policy have been pointing out that this is an unwise way for governments to fund such services for about the last 300 years.  Right now, this stupidity of this with regard to school funding is being looked at carefully in the State legislature, and there is hope that it will be changed.   The funding of the RFA is a continuing scandal of bad government for which no good outcome seems foreseeable.    But your proposal to provide free water  would surpass the foolishness of the RFA scheme considerably, as consumption of water is NOT a general benefit, it is a specific benefit, and so specific funding is appropriate.     I am not familiar enough with the realities of sewage benefit (general vs specific) to evaluate if it would be a reasonable substitute for a tax incentive.


Airbus got paid $350 million to take over the C series. That's their 50% share of the $700 million of losses expected in the next couple of years that BBD must fund.

When the Caisse and BBD get bought out by Airbus, if there is a differential in price paid for their respective partnership interests, the next thing to fly will be lawsuits.


jeez it seems on these threads posters fear of foreigners was 80% what bad advice and wrong headed fear mongering.


Incredible admission.


Well, …..that was absurdity personified.


I agree.  Trump's crudeness and offensiveness are completely reprehensible in an American President, and we need to express that forcefully.  His juvenile vulgarity is a disgrace to the office.


Debate of falsehoods without the foundation of the existence of the individual who, supposedly, created them is moot.  No Jesus, no debate.  All subsequent such "debates" are merely exercises in circular logic starting with a false premise and supporting it with equally false facts.  He didn't exist; therefore any teachings and claims cannot be supported without identifying the true sources of their existence.  A whole industry of "scholars" has existed since the Roman Empire era to "debate" to falsely portray an original false creation.  Christianity is nothing more than a compilation of previous human-created religions from pagan to animus to one god(Jew).  All incorporated into dogma and rites to con groups into joining.  If that doesn't work, slaughter them militarily until the remainder submit.  The entire illegal legality of "Christian Discovery" created by another Pope to give judicial justification for the conquest of all others in the world.  The existence level negates all.


In the meantime I suggest calling and writing to our Senators and Representatives and asking them to promote renewable energy policy. There's little we can do as individuals. In the grand scheme of things, reducing our carbon footprint as individuals is insignificant. The bond needs to be broken between the federal and state governments and the fossil fuel giants. If we can get policy passed that cuts subsidies to fossil fuel companies and promotes subsidizing or exploring renewable energy, the economic incentive will be there for the technology to expand and we will reach a point where jets, and other vehicles can be run on renewable energy sooner. Vote against bills that would allow new pipelines/more fossil fuel extraction and exploration. Senator Murkowski is the chair of the Senate Energy and Natural Resource Committee-call her office and tell her that, as her constituent, you want to see more investment in renewables and that you think it would be best for the future of Alaska


I've volunteered at our local food bank off and on and let me tell you true: If SNAP gets cuts?  We're going to be busier than ever.  Our doors have to close a little early just to complete the line that's been waiting.  Next door we receive Meal on Wheels and feed up to 50 people MWF.   Elderly.

A lot of fragile hearts are going to just 'break' over the inhumane, insensitive mindsets POLITICAL bots are making.  GOP.  What do they truly stand for anymore?  They'll be remembered come 2018.  For these elderly?  Some of them can't reason as well as gone years; to be told you no longer can go to a friendly center and socialize and be fed...well they won't understand at all.  I fear many would just die on loneliness and hunger.

No I don't speak for black, I speak as someone who has watched the black families  being destroyed because of their victimization attitudes. I am speaking as an individual who has read about 70% of the black births are to single women. I have also read over 50% of the murders are being committed by 13% of the population (black population) of the country. I am speaking of the 27% unemployment rate of black youth. Each and every on these issues are somehow being blamed on "Whitey". Maybe it is time for the black community to look inwardly instead of blaming every thing on "Whitey"


Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, Youtube, Reddit, Instagram, Craigslist, even RG comments = well, truth be told, every word your type in an email or say on your phone, (I've personally tested and can verify this) is meta-data collected through PRISM for the EKS (Enterprise Knowledge System) in amounts you cannot fathom.  All recorded and stored ...ALL OF IT!

the fact that they call it "Enterprise" is an insult to all Star Trek fans :(

A lesson to be learned Mr. Roos, that if you're planning to kill someone of influence, you don't go spouting off about it prior.  At 62 yrs of age, you are probably just as angry at the rest of us at our own Government, and under our illustrious Nazi Regime Enabling Act (cough*) I mean our 'Patriot Act' (which is far worse) anyone can be arrested without charges and held indefinitely  ...thus, if he was a true-blood dissident, he wouldn't have allowed himself to be apprehended.

He won't be sewing dissent behind bars, were he will die of old age.


Link and comments on Twitter where they can't be "moderated"


Truth be told it's not a $300 billion deficit,  it's a $300 billion DEBT and climbing.  Wynne and co. have set up a death spiral of debt servicing cost increases that will not be outpaced, or even matched by economic growth.   Trudeau is now firmly immersed in the same Liberal fantasy of  government spending as means to growth and  fruit is there for all to see.    We're about to re-learn the hard lessons we learned in 90's and this time it will be even uglier.


It doesn't preclude anyone from discussing anything

It simply shows solidarity with the Quebec victims and condemns HATRED of Muslims.  Talk about what you want, it has no legal binding anyways.


Any bets on whether she appeals?!!


Nonsense.  Probably the majority of the voters voted against having cemetery next door to them.  If they had voted against having a MacDonalds  next to them would you have said they were USphobias?


I agree with your comments, when the next slowdown occurs it will bone crushing depression, the likes of 1929 or worse!


Half of Republicans want war.  What a surprise.


Indeed it has....And I look forward to you ceasing it.

CC is well aware of your antics, as you know, and I am assured by and comfortable with their responses.


Buried utilities...looks good but no guarantees. I live in a developed area with buried utilities and was surprised during our ice storm a couple of years ago that we lost our power. How could that happen when power lines underground we wondered. Learned it made no difference because the transformer was knocked off line. Long and cold 48 hours. So be prepared even if your power is buried. Aesthetic value you bet...practical, not so much.


Gary Taube$ can live his life as if it were perpetually Lent. I will put strawberry jam on my croissant from time to time. Let's see who lives longer.


The Corps of Engineers probably has the largest number of hydrologists of any organization in the world. Regardless, modelling takes time, and once the main spillway failure occurred, time was not on their side.

The underlying defects that led to failure of the main spillway, and the mistaken analysis of the erosion tolerance of the emergency spillway were the main oversights here. I have difficulty lodging much criticism of the current managers who were stuck in a difficult situation, on the basis that not every decision made turned out to be the best possible decision. There was too much happening too quickly to expect optimization. As it was, the response proved adequate.

Also, the Friends of the River group mentioned in the article has no credibility. I read their 2005 complaint. It has no relevance to what actually happened. Actually, the complaint contradicted itself in one of its major arguments, but the character limit for posting doesn't let me discuss that here.


What fascinates me is that the very people that promote these types of laws will pump millions to overseas charities to help homeless people there!


As U.S. Sen. John Thune, a Republican from South Dakota, told Politico, the strategy is, “Whatever gets to 50.”
There you have it.........Is it good policy? Who cares............it gets us to 50.


Doh! How could I have been so gullible as to ever having taken you seriously.   We need to have a new emoji for your comments, indicating you're just being absurd, and then attach it as a sig' to all your posts. It will save a lot of time responding to what you're doing, which is, essentially, trolling. Trying to provoke a response to words you don't intend to be taken seriously. I won't make that mistake again. And if the Indians should go home, when will you? l-)
Now, where's that mute button? Somebody please shoot me if I ever take "Harry" seriously again.


we could all do our part at preventing an oil spill if we just quit driving our cars and heating our  homes


OK. Clinton got more votes than Trump; the Liberals got more votes than the Conservatives or any other party. Agreed that riding boundaries result in seat numbers that proportionally represent the numbers of votes cast for each party but that's why PR would be a good electoral system, right? The Liberals not only won more seats than all the other parties put together (the definition of a majority government) but they also won more of the popular vote than any other party. Since to all intents and purposes there are only two parties in the US, the situation is not that easy to compare with the Canadian system.


So will you feel just as sanguine about the police tying up the roads for their interminable accident investigations when they are taking 12 or 18 hours to do what they are taking 6 or 8 hours to do now, and what they were taking 1 or 2 hours to do a decade ago?  Will you meekly spend the night in your car on the Glenn or Seward highway because the police have not yet documented every bit of metal and speck of broken glass after an accident on those alternative-less routes?


Geeeeee, wonder what an audit would find about our rail spending spree?

Will believe it when I see it....they need the money and it will be hard to put that ad genie back in the bottle. CBC should use the money to actually spend on hard news and not health stories and other lifestyle fluff that makes up their newscast now.


Hi Monica,
To be honest I'm not too sure who these people are except for a couple. But, sounds like they've had this up their sleaves for some time now.  Just waiting for the right moment, like vultures watching their prey. And, from what I'm observing these negative attacks on the good guys are springing up frequently, Fr.Martin for e.g. As a matter of fact our world is far from joyous...war, displaced and starving peoples, hurricane damaged cities, earthquakes, King Kong and MickeyDuck wanting to blast each other up along with millions of others.  Never used to be so angry, selfish and uncharitable.  Keep praying.


Only mindless attacks are being done by you in addition to your failure to understand where and where not the Navy has its major economic impacts. Nuff said.


Is this story supposed to make me feel bad? People are living off of a government subsidized program that fails them (big surprise) and then throw their hands in the air because they don't know how else to provide for themselves? If the government hadn't intervened with a welfare program like CDQ, the private sector would have taken care of this a long time ago. For the better.


Yes, for a brief stay.


Goes to show how phony republicans are.


Hey Sher, guess discussing inconvenient facts ain't for you?


I notice that, in different circumstances, the nomenclature applied to aboriginals changes. If it is land claims, anti-resource developement or government negotiations, the term 'First Nations' is used. If it has to do with social welfare issues such as mental health, suicide addiction or missing women, the term is indigenous or aboriginal people.


Finally.
Why does it take so many deaths to move legislatures to some common sense?


Something to accompany your wet T-shirt....a little bit of Linda Ronstadt.

The day I watched OSP use a roadblock to stop a non-violent protester, it reminded me of the 1971 movie "Vanishing Point".  When it was over, the crowd quietly and slowly dispersed.


Shibai-buster, What if it's the President who is jeopardizing America's image and safety? Would you continue to stand by the President?


I notice Rob Carrick that you don't mention Vancouver.  Where the rental vacancy rate is less than one percent.  So if you don't own, then chances are you are not going to find anything to rent either, let alone anything affordable because a vacancy rate of almost zero means landlords rule.

And the vacancy rate in adjoining Richmond, and the North Shore  is even lower.


I have no idea what point you are trying to make.  Does Trump charge admission to his rallies?


This is a very valuable comment.  We need to stop dismissing Trump supporters as racists and xenophobes if we want to understand what drives them, and how they could be brought back into the mainstream fold.  My perspective is that they are fed up with being branded as racists if they say something politically incorrect or express legitimate concerns about immigration levels or other controversial topics.  They voted for a guy who they thought could cut through the BS and "tell it like it is", even if he is in fact the most dishonest Presidential candidate ever.

Don't get me wrong; I think Trump as President is extremely worrying.  But those of us in the centre or left need to honestly confront the motivations of Trump supporters and understand why the alternatives fell short.


What planet do you come from thinking that memorization is the first requirement in math?


What's the big deal with the middle finger, everyone is doing it anyway.


So many things wrong with this plan. The most important being the current estimated cost will surely go up significantly. Next the amount of funding will probably not meet its expectations as already questioned. I'm also annoyed that the neighbor islands are being rewarded for their complaints. Yes, they don't benefit much by this rail project, but not many even on Oahu will. As for their share of taxes, they already get more GET taxes back than they contribute and it sounds like they'll get more TAT than they contribute. Ridiculous.


Oh, I don't know, Alaska is pretty good compared to some other states. Like anywhere, there are people who don't have the courage to live in a free society, but I don't think there are a lot of them here in Alaska.


One question: What happens with drivers licences, health cards, and other forms of facial I.D., and if a traffic cop wants to match the person with the face(is there one?) on the d.l.?


I think it's time for everyone to just turn up this this hilarious Vanilla ISIS Baby rap video on full blast.  http://bit.ly/1mZalfM  #VanillaISIS


Gee Craig, you sure glossed over your own admitted misdeeds. I'm thinking you're using McCandless to chastise your own young self. What do they call that? Projecting? Could explain why you're so angry all the time.


Wonderful morning news story. Thanks for helping me stick to my diet plan......


What still distinguishers Catholic schools are parietals. There were women’s and men’s floor or single sex dorms, sign-ins after 10 and guests were out by 2. While the rules agaisnt sexual activity were never enforced, they were still on the books. In graduate school, at American, there were no such rules and floors were co-ed. As for the student’s themselves, there was no marked difference in chastisty in either university (or Catholic U., where my R.A.’s girlfriend slept over most nights). Any ”Catholic identity” in this area was for show. I suspect it always has been. Prior generations simply had to be more creative in their fornicating.


It comes up now because he is running for THE UNITED STATES SENATE. How you can even wrap your mind around defending this pos is beyond my comprehension. Grown men coming on to teenage girls is wrong. Sometimes the girl isn't sophisticated enough to understand this, but the man should be.


Quit, baby, Quit!


The AARP thing must be a Breitbart fake news.


Richard, here's the problem:

All the republicans whining about pay-to-play with the Clinton Foundation seem like they just woke up and started following politics last week.

This is pandemic in major-party politics and has been for 30+ years. Its not okay, ever, and it happens constantly.

Don Young deserves every morsel of criticism as much as any politician who dishes out favors for political contributions.


..."Going forward we should be told if this is to be a permanent fixture of our immigration policy, which is, find a place along the border cross over and we will take care of you."...

Excellent question.

All you have to do is enter somewhere along the border, or anywhere along our coast, then you are entitled to the same process as if it were an official application. But at the same time you get to remain in Canada for at least a year until your case is heard, and then for years after as you go through the appeals process.


Obamacare is the best thing since sliced bread?  Wow, Ok  well the Republicans left it alone, so take that sliced bread and  start making  sandwiches...egg sandwiches that is,   from all the eggs cleaned off  the  Democrats faces


Yes, it's silly --- in fact, racist --- to portray Jesus as a white, rosy-cheeked, blonde Swede.  That being the case, how is it not silly and racist to get upset when Jesus is portrayed as being from the Middle East?  Some people turn themselves inside out to be victims.


I vote for the incompetence option. It appears the Liberals think it is okay to give billions to Bombardier but do not support small business creation.


never right hate machinists BS their way thru every issue, it's to be expected when truth is reported and of course those exposed get all bent. to point out any imperfections of normal journalism by righties is sheer hypocrisy, that side hates truth, it spoils their hate party and slows down the agenda of, oppression, theft, and destruction.


Thank you for your article Sr. Soli. Reconciliation where there has been so much fear, hatred and gratuitous violence for so long, will certainly require the abundant grace of God. It is nigh impossible to recover from civil war and to be reconciled from the heart because the fear and the pain is still there; thank God that in Him all things are possible. It puts our comfortable bickering and blaming into proper perspective.

Zoolander quote of the day in NYC, "How you shape the world will make the world we're part of!" I'm sure I saw either Blue Steel or Ferrari after delivering that gem. Not sure if the rabid cheers were for the comment or the pose.


The dog was released on his own recognizance.


As Ludwig is no longer with us, your narrative is unrelated to the story.


/facepalm at you confirming some of the key things I said.

If the bollards are too far apart then they will use a littler car and go between them.   The bigger vehicle is to deal with taking on the bollards not the building.

Two thieves generally aim for the door so they don't have to deal with clearing stuff.   If you take away the door completely they will deal with limited amounts of 'clearing stuff' to get at what they want.   They can and would 'create a hole' by ramming the side of the building and backing out or just leave the stolen hole maker in the building while they leave in another vehicle.    The I beam bollard you mention is very easy to get out of the ground with a push/pull and a semi decent chain or strap it's done.  You don't think the front door is the only door on these buildings do you?   Again as you described your bollard it's no more difficult to remove than a basketball backboard post.   In fact it could be easier.


there whole existence is built on the evil West


Anonymous or otherwise, let's keep it simple. People are dying, and we have the means to save many of them, at least in the short term. We can change things up later, but for the time being let's save lives.


Trump is as ineffective on the international stage as he is domestically. The Europeans probably realized it before ourselves so they are distancing themselves from him. Soon those Americans who voted for him will come to realize what they enabled. Hopefully, before he can accomplish much more damage. The Republican Party is morally and ethically bankrupt so don't expect them to pull our "political chestnuts" out of the fire.


Trump is a bully. All bullies are cowards. They are liable to explode at any time so as to create an impression of toughness.
Trump and Putin are on the same page, just like Hitler and Stalin were, initially. We all know what happened from there.
In the White House a groper and in the Kremlin a man who boasts about his nation's whores.
Connect the dots and be very scared.


What about all the workers that are left permantly disabled and pay a pitance and then forgotten?


Pretty harsh Dante1969.  There is inequality in retirement saving incentives/benefits for self-employed professionals.  RRSP do not benefit high income professionals.  You argue that it doesn't matter once someone makes over 220K and they should have no benefits or incentives to save and build a nest-egg.  That is your perspective and I can't argue against it - you are a socialist and you despise anyone that has a greater income than you.  You may be shocked to know that many professionals that make this level of income are good people who are a benefit to the community.  They also deserve to retire someday and maintain a reasonable proportion of baseline income as all retirement strategies recommend and target.  When I see "sweat and effort equality" I will agree with you more.   As many greedy rich people you so despise there are an equal number of useless lazy people looking for handouts.  Maybe you are one of them I don't know - I will assume you are not.


....Still waiting on that stupid wall too!


Lannam and MacIntyre are right to look at a variety of kind of taxes and fees together. But the claims about overall impact that they make here can only be properly made with some real numbers. I'm sceptical when they note that rate reductions won't be felt by lower income taxpayers and then they claim that the loss of tax credits such as the one children's art classes will be felt by that same group. The main benefit for that kind of tax credit usually goes to taxpayers who have discretionary income and a significant tax bill against which the credit can be applied. I think I'll wait until a fuller accounting is possible before passing judgement.


Trump needs no help in making himself look bad.  He does just fine himself.  If you've followed his career and/or viewed his television show you'd see the things.  He is who he is and has always been rather arrogant and bombastic.  He is a self promoter.  It just doesn't seem to work well in his role as president where you have to work with others and be ok with not always having things go your way.  Compromise and self promotion are tricky to pull off.
BTW, the economy tends to ebb and flow despite who is in the White House.  Changes take place over many years, for the most part.


ya, Lynch can go, and that way keep TJ

I suggest you read up on 'Muslim burials'...it's not about not having a 'Muslim Cemetary'...it has everything to do with their burial rituals. Honestly, you need to familiarize yourself with it, then you will understand WHY this accommodation should not be made!


Canada is not a Constitutional Republic as is the United States...Canada is parliamentary.  The two are not comparative.

The US is an international bully and needs its physical threat.  Of course, the US will not seriously consider disarming.  We are more concerned in making sure that other nations do not acquire our abilities to kill.


Who cares about some bears, I care more about the kid and applaud fish and game for doing the right thing. Can't be certain which bear did it so all suspect bears need to be put down. Gosh if human criminals could only be handled this well...


Trump doesn't care about facts, only whatever impulse entered his brain in the past five minutes.  He acts on hearsay and innuendo.  And all the yes-men/women he has surrounded himself just encourage it.


Unfortunately, it doesn't really matter what anyone thinks when money plays such a big role in politics. There is no voice for the ordinary citizen. IMHO developers own politicians.


B.C. Green Leader Andrew Weaver says Alberta should “get with the program” and move away from oil and gas.
-
Agreed
-
The first step should  be for Alberta  to stop shipments through the existing Kinder Morgan pipeline to the B.C. Interior and Lower Mainland.
-
Almost 90 per cent of the fuel for Vancouver and the southern coast comes out of that pipeline, either as gasoline or crude to be refined and the Kinder Morgan system also supplies  jet fuel to Vancouver Airport. . So Alberta has the power to halt all auto , truck and  air travel within or in/out of Vancouver.
-
And as most B.C. products going to the rest of Canada pass through Alberta noncooperation by BC invites Albertas retaliation against shipments of wine, lumber and scores of other products , in fact , natural gas producers in the B.C. northeast routinely send their product to Fort Saskatchewan for processing, and then bring it back for sale.

I applaud the more positive statements and suggestions in this piece, but I am disappointed to see the hyperbolic term "mustard gas of that wretched system" applied to the Indian Residential Schools. Like the attempts to sway Canadians' emotions by the use of "genocide" in describing the IRS system, Chamberlin's choice of words clouds and vilifies a system that was complicated, created and run for a variety of reasons -- some of them humanitarian, some fiscally driven, and yes, some self-serving and blinkered by colonizing attitudes. True reconciliation will not come from slurs like this but from rational discourse and a willingness to consider all the facts.


Quit your Facebook and your Instagram and you will be a happier person.  At the very least, remove or disable the apps on your phone so you are not constantly notified with onslaughts of garbage.

Time for your daily Goo Aid trumpettes. Open wide. Notice how trump would never sit before the press because he can't handle heat? He just yaddle daddle as he BS around the country.


The terms "racialized" and "visible minorities" have always been odious. Now that the majority (51.5%) of the Toronto population self-identifies as a visible minority, will the 2021 Census revise the terms to apply to the real new minority? The real problem is that the terms will remain just as odious in 2021.


The Canadian Media is an example of "very, very, very select Canadian content"   If all Canadians were welcome to participate in this industry now and before there would not have been the huge migration to digital.   This migration is only starting and the established media will have to get in the game or perish.  The CBC is well past its due date!


No doubt it's Clapper...Hillary's "17 US intelligence agencies saying it's the Russian's hacking her emails". Turns out, it's James Clapper, alone. Supposedly, Hilkary's favorite spook is as prone to conspiracy theories and McCarthyism as the rest of her minions.

Why would these investors be buying houses that they can't rent out because there's nobody to live in them? That doesn't sound like a particularly realistic worry. If they continue to build houses when there's nobody to live in them house prices will go down, which is exactly what we want.


I applaud you, I'm all for standards , morals and ethics. Hence, I'm staying!


It’s Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ job to parse Trump’s statements and highlight any possible positives, brush away any negatives.  He’s a grown man who shouldn’t need any more help.

When Trump says out loud that other presidents didn’t make calls, he’s generally saying they didn’t do as good a job of reaching out as he is now. The time limit for the “He’s not an experienced public official” excuse has long ago expired.

Btw, he’s WRONG about the others not calling. He frequently makes WRONG statements. Once or twice is to be human. Every other day is an ldiot. Would you disagree with that?

A classier statement would have been, “Sorry, I forgot to mention them in my speeches, but I’ll write letters and call the families, as my honorable predecessors all did.”

These events are all recorded. Why would you doubt the accounts, which will be easily checked and verified or disproved within hours?  Why do you believe any BS Trump says (hint, you can easily do a search on “fact check”).


Russia is a Western nation and culture with interests completely aligned with the West.  You can see that in two world wars, where the Russians were allies.  This dynamic would be true today if things actually got serious.   If you stand back and ignore the noise for a moment;  it becomes very clear that the notion of Russia as 'enemy'  is simply not true.  Google Putin's own comments on this topic - they are illuminating.    So you need to ask yourself and research, whose interests does it serve to demonize Russia?   It's a fun rabbit-hole.


Thank you Quinaults!


AKA CBC and their evil twin CTV


As much as I dislike Trump, my skin crawls every time I see/hear Hillary. I believe she's a lying crook with ambitions to reap millions/billions from being president.


Which verse of the bible are you referring too, there are three.

United definition: "joined together" politically, for a common purpose.

The fasci they formed were scattered over Italy, and it was to one of these spontaneously created groups, devoid of party affiliations, that . Fasci or Fascists were "scattered over Italy". HMM lots of dictators all over Italy.

Fascim definition:an authoritarian and nationalistic "right-wing" system of government and social organization.
synonyms:	authoritarianism, totalitarianism, dictatorship, despotism, autocracy; More
(in general use) "extreme right-wing", authoritarian, or intolerant views or practice.

You can argue until the cows come home but facts are facts.

Since your in the verse mood

 “He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her.”  You quoted this verse earlier and yet you have thrown many a boulder at Hillary.
and others. Do you live by the rule of the Bible or are you just good at quoting.


I am so proud of our Oregon delegates.   I felt very represented by the job you did.  If the Dems wanted to beat Trump in this election, there was one man who could have done it.  They silenced Bernie, and his supporters.    They lied, and cheated.  Democracy is dead.   Thank you for being our voice.


The best evidence of obstruction concerns obama and lynch.  The Dems continue to look silly.  Their obsession with resistance is making them politically irrelevant.  My advice to the Dems would be to get over their loss and to actually start leading, move forward.  The longer they cry foul for losing the more weak and disorganized they look.


I've been saying the same thing for years.  State very clearly at the trailhead there's a $1000 fine for graffiti, getting in the water/walking on the log, bringing pets, littering, etc.  Start charging $5 or so for parking, and all that should take care of the cost of a ranger or two to babysit everyone.


This hairball needs to be used as a batting tee.


Muzungu--who claims he's not a Trump supporter, although he backs every Trump supportive comment on ADN--hates Hillary Clinton for no reason. He's also the self-proclaimed "civility police," when he's not busy posting nasty comments about Clinton and anyone who supports her. But not his buddies.  Because the rating system on here has nothing to do with actual civility, he and his gang get away with it.


Each time I see John McCallum face, I think of the billions of dollars that he is costing Canada!

Anyone with a grade-school education can see Trump is a buffoon and a con man. But go ahead... denigrate the press when they report the truth, i.e. what actually comes out of Trump's mouth.


He cleared the tree's so women couldn't be pulled in there and assaulted and so drug users couldn't hide in there using drugs.  By thinning tree's police could drive by and monitor the park.   Liberals fought him over this. Even gardeners vowed to boycott .  Liberals and tree hugger's felt a few trees and personal freedom mattered a hundred times more than public safety.  Had he sent the police in liberals would have protested that too.


The conventioneers are too enamored of their own positions to toss all chance of winning the presidency out the window.   Even assuming any of their number would volunteer to be the sacrificial goat.

They may well dislike Trump; they absolutely loathe Hillary.

Your 'Rationality' is unlikely to overcome that.


...and let's not forget Timothy McVeigh and Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber.  These two were homegrown terrorists that ran our country's mountainside inflicting horror on innocent people.  No, our nation didn't have any terrorist before 9/11 or after.

Assistance eh?  You have proof of this?  Comey actually is now being proven to have run a corrupt investigation into Hillary's server.  The libs have it all confused, Comey was in it for Hillary.  But why are we talking about her?  She lost and she's just trying to drum up money because the money flow into the Clinton Foundation has dried up.  When you have no influence to sell, the money stops coming in.  The Libs better get Michelle ready to run because she is the only candidate they have, and she's completely unqualified.


I was working with a Tsimshian guy once and I commented that in Oregon, where I'm from, a lot of the place names are the same as in SE Alaska. "Yeah, the southern border used to be the Klamath River" he said. What's funny is I always felt the Klamath was the border between Oregon and California too. How many speak the language in Canada?


No such thing as an "ex-felon". Once a felon, always a felon. Only job a felon can get in this state would have to be a politician!


I consider Kellyanne Conway to be the High Priestess of spin.  Her ability to explain Pres. Elect Donald Trump to the people of the U.S. has quite a lot to do with his becoming president.

In this age of twitter and soundbites, when most citizens rarely read a newspaper article, not even online, her ability to manipulate and justify the most belligerent comments made by her boss, Donald Trump, make her a real asset to such a determined opportunist.

We do not need her teaching like-minded Canadians her tricks.  I hope Alberta's far-right Conservatives don't give leave of their senses for a dream of "Making Canada Great Again".  Their time in the sun was a moment in time and will never return (not to the same degree anyway--no matter who leads their province or our country).

Don't punish all of us because you're resentful.


Totally agree. Here's my retort to this oke:

Trudeau views the world as his stage and he never passes up an opportunity to perform. He is standing front and centre, his lips are moving, and the platitudes and vague staements can be heard between the "uh's" and "ah's".


You may have had trouble getting beyond it because it is not credible on its face. I will gave the pope the benefit of the doubt and allow that someone actually told him that story. But whether it is true? HIGHLY unlikely.


You should work because you want to not because have to. A successful retirement is largely based on having interests beyond work and staying physically, mentally and socially active.  Many choose not to continue to work (at least at their current jobs) and to redefine their lives. I found several great guest posts on the site Retirement And Good Living by retirees who are sailing full time, started businesses based on hobbies, RVing across the US and New Zealand, backpacking across the globe, volunteering with various organizations, retiring overseas and more. It gives you a good perspective of the possibilities.

This is a mistake. Tearing down part of the human history of the area is a loss. Put up a sign that tells people they are using at their own risk - just as they are in the rest of the forest. Even better would be a public-private partnership to restore and preserve some of these structures so that people could continue using them. We just need a little bit of creative thinking.

Why did you ignorantly say the Constitution lacks a provision without reading the Constitution before commenting?

Yes there is something in the Constitution that says the federal government must build and maintain an interstate highway system. It's in the Postal Clause. Article I, Section 8, Clause 7, empowers Congress "To establish Post Offices and post Roads".

Too bad you're too lazy to make the effort, especially citing "only 17 pages long."

You also imply that if Congress passes an unconstitutional law, it's okay to pass more of them. That defeats the purpose of the Constitution and a federal government with powers that are "few and defined."

As for your other ignorant and incoherent statement, if Congress can "only" do what the Constitution specifically says then limited government, state sovereignty and a Constitution that serves its correct purpose. If we don't have a Congess to pass laws, who else would they be passed?

Scott, very informative article.

It shows the difficulty in futures trading.  You need to get both the direction and the timing correct.  It looks to me that if the price is currently being driven by the futures market as you indicate, than this means that we should eventually see the price of oil increase to reflect supply/demand balance.  The investment in production has been much lower the past 2 years as the price of oil has been declining.  Eventually this will have a large impact on world production and with demand on a steady but slow upward climb, inventories will drop.  I see US shale being able to fill some of this void with fairly quick turnaround, but it won't be able to make up all production that is being lost, especially in those long time frame and expensive deep water wells.

This seems to me like a good opportunity to pick up some solid low cost, well financed producers that have seen stock prices driven down due to concern about the recent drop in oil prices.


Hmm, Tabatha... can you comment on things Canadian please.

There's a world of difference between saying "something someone doesn't like" and insulting a woman who is with you.  For example, "I think Trump is an excellent candidate (that's something Mr. Capri might not like) and "lady, you're a real dyke" (that's an insult).  I don't know exactly what was said, but it notes it was a homosexual slur.

Certainly, Mr. Capri should not have touched the man....in today's world, you're just going to pay a price for such an act.  As I mentioned in another post, it's too bad the woman who was insulted didn't step up and slap the man herself.  I'm 74 and for all the years of my "youth", if a man insulted a woman, he was likely to get seriously embarrassed when she slapped him.  It reads like this guy deserved it.

Would she have been charges with assault? Maybe, but can you imagine a guy filing an assault charge against a woman whom he insulted and gave him a well-deserved slap?  It'd be rather embarrassing, wouldn't it.


Lorne also seems to forget that when there is an increase in unemployment from a crash in global oil prices, there will be an impact on personal income tax revenue. He doesn't seem to be aware that unemployed people pay less income tax than employed people. Or that persons who lose work might return to their home province or go to other provinces in search of work.

Yes, even a Sunshine Girl with breast implants is more factual than anything Lorne Gunter has ever said or wrote.


I think Pence only had a 40% popularity in his state...dropping out of the gubnatorial race was no great sacrifice....I suspect finding a Trump VP might have been a bit challenging and there was Pence...very available....


The irony here is that Marx, who wrongly believed the Russians wouldn't adopt his political-economic system, nonetheless pretty much pegged it when he said the rulers and beneficiaries of the advanced capitalist states would jettison patriotism except when they needed it to whip up impoverished masses to fight their wars-for-profit.

And so we see it happening.  And not just with Trump schmoozing Vlad the Derailer and saluting the fat Korean kid.

Both parties have sacrificed US interests on the altar of Israeli interests since the Truman administration.  AIPAC operatives have been on-hand at every presidential inauguration since to convey the new CIC his marching orders from Tel Aviv (except POSSIBLY Nixon's, and they jumped on him with both feet to bail them out of the Ramadhan/Yom Kippur war in '73).  Hillory the Blood Countess has promised to outdo herself in groveling before her Zionist idol.  That's why she'll be the next president, with the Republicans' blessing.


The below article talks about the nearly 67% of healthcare that the federal government already controls (and advocates for single-payer). About 48% is the three large programs.

http://www.pnhp.org/news/2016/january/government-funds-nearly-two-thirds-of-us-health-care-costs-american-journal-of-pub

As you are well aware, not much in Washington is open...

I'd like to rant that free-market is the solution and socialized medicine is the problem, blah, blah, blah but the federal government already controls national healthcare and that is not going to change. Stepping forward (yikes, I sound like a progressive) to single-payer seems to me the only viable solution. I just want the funding sources to be honestly stated and if the costs exceed estimates (shocking) then where is the additional funding coming from.


Trump and a few members of Congress are pressing to open the Arctic Refuge to oil and gas drilling.

Don't let them!

Send a message to Congress today: Tell them not to allow Arctic Refuge drilling.

Tell Congress you want the entire refuge designated wilderness just as the most recent refuge plan calls for.

Years of public opposition to drilling in ANWR show the public clearly is not in favor of drilling.

Tell them you're an Alaskan and you don't want drilling.

Angela Merkel has been a great proponent of multiculturalism.  Unfortunately, the massive influx of migrants to Germany had no real intention of becoming Germans.  Instead, they expected to remain Syrians, Turks, Pakistanis or Moroccans, but with first world incomes and benefits.   Within this  patchwork of parallel societies reside groups of people with values that are inimical to those of the host country. Radical Islam is the most visible example, and incidents of terrorism, mass sexual assaults and other crimes are some of the consequences.  If it is allowed to flourish, it could within the next 20-30 years destroy the traditions and integrity of many western European countries, including their economies.


Does anyone think it's odd that terrorists want to kill Trump, but they didn't want to kill Obama?


Articles have said the concrete floor of the Arctic Blvd. location was not strong enough to support the new printing presses.  That's kind of a big (and very expensive to fix) deal.


considering the terrorist reality it is a great move


Tampering with evidence --any crime--has specific criteria that must be proven. I doubt it can be proven in this case.


The above commenter is Dale Wilson. Again, using the PDN comments section to spew hatred and spread lies.


He did not say that, the Clintons keep trying to say they are for the little guy and trash the rich. Well, they are the rich and use the same tactics democrats have been using since the 50's. Make noises about punishing the rich and then take good care of the rich with tax laws and regulations. Of course the ones they take care of are the ones who donate money to the democratic party. If you are paying attention, the democrats say one thing and do the opposite.  The FBI asks to investigate the Clintons and DOJ says no. As Rough cut asked, does it get anymore crooked than that?


I feel bad for these bishops, but worse for the people. The bishops were trained to be managers of self-supporting small businesses and pastors of large flocks who would come to them if they just kept their doors open. Now the businesses are no longer self-supporting and the large flocks have many choices. These poor guys don't know what hit them and, worse, don't know that downsizing just manages the problem for the short term, but eventually drives a stake through the heart of the church.


I don't think we need to overly worry about the folks Trump picks as his advisors.  Remember he said, "I consult with myself" and "I watch lots of shows"?  Finally, "Only I can do it."


Save that overthrow into triple coverage DT streaking wide open on your DVR. It's almost impossible for me to imagine Lynch's developmental curve kicking into gear during the season enough to outpace Siemian. The only way he sees the field (barring injury) is if the season is lost and they want to give him some experience while preparing for an early pick. A few key injuries to positions without a lot of depth -- LB, DL, OL -- and this could happen, but I don't see Denver losing too many games because of Trevor.


Speaking of needing a job, just where does one go after he's deemed too odious for Fox News? Is Breitbart hiring?

Good thing O'Reilly still has his "Killing" series of books to fall back on. I have a suggestion for the title of his next one: "Killing My Career in Television."

Here in metro Vancouver everything is based on the value of the land and it's potential to have a large new luxury home built on it.  It makes no difference if there is a tear down on that city plot, or a 20 year old house.

The valuation of my perfectly liveable already fixed up small older house  about $46k,  Yeah.  BC Assessment knows it will be torn down.  Meanwhile my land is valued at 1.8 million.

Cross the river into the City of Vancouver and you can add another million to land costs that house that "tear down".

Yep when a storm like this is bearing down on you common sense and just plain decency is what is needed. Political grandstanding is more than silly - its dangerous. Of course some people, mostly those new enough to Florida think this is a big joke. The 10,000 who failed to evacuate the Keys were either naive or just plain crazy. I think the politicians failure to order an evacuation in Houston borders on criminal. Ours was the largest in US history and it was on three 4 lane Interstates

One of my closest friends of the last 45 years who was home in Orlando was in bad really bad shape died the morning an hour after the storm passed. He was a retired fire department captain and EMT. I really think he held on long enough to see his family safe and then when his last involvement in a rescue was complete he left us to join God and rest. As I type this tears are streaming down my face - My selfishness over losing a dear friend but he was suffering so I am glad his suffering is over.


Yup, here is the opinion piece on the election.  Is it about the future policies of our country.  No, of course not.  The democrats apparently have nothing to say about the country's future so instead they manipulate the PC wannabes into intellectual degeneration going in circles on PC religious issues.  It is really pathetic to see liberal Americans dancing around their salvation tree of Political Correctness centered on Sex.


What exactly would you like him to say in this situation?  "It's okay, Kim...do what you like.  Threaten the US and other countries.  We will not stand up to you"?


That's right, as the peace prize president he increased 2 Bush wars to 7, annulled habeas corpus through the extrajudicial killing of American citizens, failed to close Guantanamo bay, did NOT stand with protesters as promised, prosecuted more whistleblowers than all previous presidents combined, and deported more immigrants than all previous presidents combined.

Being well-spoken and photogenic does not make up for these crimes.


I am saying show me a church where there is a female pastor and growing healthily......


Aka more Vancouverites will live with thier parents?


Bill Clinton's economic conservatism did not occur in a vacuum. You will recall Newt Gingrich's "Contract with America" and the fact that Republicans obtained a majority in Congress in 1994. Obama is also an economically conservative Democrat and also faced a Republican majority in the House. Progress will be made when the Republican party is fully repudiated and the Democrats take over the political center. The Republican party is showing its true colors in Donald Trump. With the Republicans, you've got a range from "weapons of mass destruction" Dick Chaney to "deport all the Mexicans and Muslims" Donald Trump and their followers range from misogynist Christians to knuckle dragging white supremacists. Mentally stable Americans really have only once choice--making sure the Democrats win so that the Republicans LOSE. To not repudiate Republicans would mean that Americans are a fundamentally defective people--like Republicans.


It would help if they didn't drill all night long so people could get some sleep. It's really obnoxious.


And you think that if they didn't get free note pads that they couldn't buy some at the dollar store?

What is the value of a note pad?


I hold at the moment a somewhat contrary view..... too many students are not fit, academically, to be studying at university.... they are barely qualified at Matric and struggle with the lingua franca of most university study.... reading and writing ACADEMIC English ... and conversing, in English with their lecturers and peers. Too many too studying the wrong things... we need quality graduates in Engineering, Science, Technology, Accountancy, Commerce, Medicine etc people of use to our Economy and employable... not more BA graduates!
The same might be said of some of the so-called academics.... not limited to SA I might add, as there a great many dodgy academics enjoying an undeserved life-style in say UK or USA.... and many students studying something totally unfit for purpose and qualifying them to work as say, in McDonalds... at great cost to themselves, family, or their Government.

This time of year too, there is increasing unrest.... closer to exam time some say!


I think there is a lack of funding for many print media that makes that level of competence and supervision very tough to meet, including those who know this stress in the company.

With consolidated ownership on the world/national level, the public runs the risk of very filtered news that favors elite power/wealth interest.   Small papers like the RG are losing audience to those who have a broader medium to work with.

Did you watch any of the Bannon interview the other night?  There is much I dislike about the guy, but I found myself agreeing about the 'sell out' of both parties to special interest.   I think he stated the party design as a Patronage system -  and I have to say that is very much my own opinion as well.  It's 'pay to play' in most countries and it's no different in the United States.

I try not to hatefully condemn individuals that are trying to do good work.  Bannon uses a very broad brush to tarnish the innocent, he offers few solutions.


That's absolutely amazing to me that you would compare a situation in which an alleged victim calls the head football coach to report allegations, wholly unsubstantiated and lacking in verifiable credibility, to advise him of her situation, to what happened at Penn State. Furthermore, the 'victim' requested that the head coach not punish the assistant coach, nor report his activities. McIntyre, against her wishes, immediately reported the allegations, all of which were purported to occur off campus, & none of which implicated Mr. Tumpkin in carrying out these acts in his capacity as a university employee, to the Athletic Director, who then immediately reported this to the chancellor. Clearly, we must have read a different Kizsla solutionless 'whine-fest,' & I'm guessing that you can't point out where, in either report, even the slightest hint of bad faith or impropriety occurred- both report indicated that there was NONE. Substantiated, multiple on-campus child-rapes vs 'she-said'


It's not really a valley, there is slight terrain that does shelter the calving area just barely enough to make a difference.

I'm going off memory from the Duhbya attempts to exploit ANWR 12 some years ago. I read about the proposal and sent letters to my representative, I can't remember who. Look at the track record, reckless fracking has ruined ranches in Colorado and everywhere. The Deepwater Horizon debacle and the Exxon Valdez spill indicates a bleak outlook for the caribou and the Gwich'in.

The primary issue is ANWR was supposed to be in perpetuity, Trump's rampage through every liberal sacred cow is the issue.  Global warming and the essential tact of leaving this huge carbon sink intact is part of the issue whether the LTE writer brings them up or not.

Trashing one of the very last pristine and vital areas for gasoline is irresponsible, shortsighted, greedy, and proud. The very idea that our convenience and habits take precedence over this last wild place is obscene.


You're silly.


Will you still be thankful when they leave Settle?


Hello G&M!!!!  Waterton is burning to the ground today and not a mention in your crappy paper.  Sometimes I wonder if you are aware that Canada exists west of the 416


Excellent comment.
I agree with you about the mother: Not enough is known.
And your 90 days sentencing comment is spot on.
Senior deputy district attorney Patrick Freeman said “Those who attempted to hide him from justice share blame”. If that's the case, I wonder why the dad wasn't charged with anything.
Is the dad blocked from seeing the child?


Navy could start moving work to their facilities in San Diego or Bremerton unless the Nei gets its act together.


The polls said consistently -- from beginning to end -- that Hillary was leading in committed voters.
They were correct. She got 3 million more votes than Trump.


Dongbu has paid a great deal of money to the victim due to Kimura's drunken negligence.  Should Dongbu's shareholders pick up the tab for Kimura's actions?  Well, they did.  Now Dongbu is trying to recoup expenses from the responsible party.  Sounds reasonable to me.

Maybe the reader might ask 'Did the victim have a long-term disability policy?


Yeap, Trump loves his anonymous sources, the ones who told him 1.5 million attended his inauguration speech, and the ones who told him about the 3 million illegal voters. Those were "good" anonymous sources---never mind that they're fake!


I don't know much about the Dept. of Transportation's bump rules. Just look at the whole thing with common sense. If the passenger did not cause a threat to the security of other passengers or crews, removing him with EXCESSIVE force that caused bodily harm is outright wrong! You can offer him more compensation; or upgrade him; or rebook him on a later flight; or simply choose another more agreeable passenger. Whatever happened is totally uncalled for. United handled this situation badly and so was the Airport police. By the way, where is the captain during all this?


He may not have given an absolute number but he certainly said on a relative basis (to Obama) that there was an issue and then preceded to analyze the root causes for the smaller crowds incorrectly.  There were now magnetometer stations, Obama had the grass protectors, etc.

He did give absolute numbers for the number of transit riders which were shown subsequently to be incorrect.

The guy will have to quit his job if he wants to have any sort of post-Trump credibility.


Bologna the schedule has been delayed because of frivolous lawsuits by rail opponents. It's also caused the cost of rail to go up. Opponents of rail should blame themselves.


Then how is it, that in the first three centuries of Christianity's existence that the Eucharist was celebrated in Home Liturgies and that more often than not, had a female presbyter.  Afterward, the Christians gathered also ate dinner together---prepared often by the presbyter---a woman of the household.  It was only after Christianity became accepted and later became THE state religion, that churches were built and the presbyter became priests and all male.  This is the early history of the Church, which the hierarchy won't honestly discuss with people [or admit].  If they did, they could not continue to insist that males only can preside at the Mass.

Jesus ordained NOBODY.  Nowhere is it written that Jesus anointed anyone---never mind just men.  No where in the Gospels, does it state that Jesus gave the Twelve the mission to celebrate the Eucharist.  Rather they were to preach the Gospels and baptize all nations. [Mk. 16:14-18; Mt. 28:16-21;Lk. 24:36-49;Jn.20:19-23; Acts 1:6-8]


I agree with you.

The article mentions other Canadian banks looking to go into/expand to the US for growth, but it doesn't consider what it will cost to achieve growth.  The cost to acquire US financial institutions is high and the CAD isn't anywhere near par.  The best time to buy US banks has passed.  The ideal time would have been when the CAD was strong relative to the USD and American financial institution stock values were beat up by the mortgage meltdown and US recession.  Sure Canadian banks could start from scratch and open up their own banks in the US but it would take a long time to achieve any level of scale and the competitive landscape in the USA makes it more difficult to capture market share.

I own the stock as well


To be clear Bremmer absolutely despises Russia

so he will see conspiracy wherever he looks

This was more of a sidebar than a meeting since it took place during dinner but the Globe via Bremmer are making this out to be an "official" dialogue no doubt divulging state secrets.

cum grano salis

look for updates on entertainment tonight


Are you like five years old?  Bye bye, Babbles.


LW1--MYOB. That's all


Affiliation? Actually education is the correct term. That is why Joan's comments can be trusted. She has education and integrity. Sure is nice to have reliable folks around. Kinda like the fella that pointed out that over 90% of the weight you claimed was water. Have you apologized to him yet?


Trudeau urges Canadians... is that like the tweet where he urged the border crashers to go through regular border crossings where they could legally be turned back? Trudeau is a bad joke and unfortunately the joke is on Canada and Canadians.


Guns are a legitimate hobby down there and no one keeps count how many you have.  Canadians can probably build large collections too, not sure we have a limit.


Standard crime related reporting.  No mention whatsoever of the number of "perpetrators" captured as a result of the expanded testing.  No reporting on differences in priority given to the rape kits.  I can only guess, since the reporter chose not to inform, that rape kits that are important to ongoing prosecution are given high priority and given immediate testing.


I'm not saying this is or is not a problem but if it is, wouldn't the best way to address it be to analyze the awarding of past grants to determine to what extent such biases exist?   Surely, the documentation exists to do this.  To state there is bias in the awarding of grants based on percentages without providing contextual details is too simplistic.  Provide us with examples please.


Okay looks like this is a nut case running around. Supposedly under probation to seek treatment under a probation officer. My question is where was his probation officer? Aren't they suppose to keep track with their perps? I'm not sure how it works but one just needs to look at his past record to know that he should not be on the outside looking in but inside looking out.


The big one to watch is what comes from the New York State prosecutors’ office.

Mueller has been working with them, as a president cannot pardon state charges

If nothing else both Manafort and Flynn have admitted to not registering as receiving payments from a foreign government.


I didn't miss anything. But just for you,
*****
I get so tired of people who want state funding for private religious schools screaming "that's bigotry against Roman Catholics!" Vincent Carroll used to play that card all the time.
Ms. Raleigh, please show how, in 2017, the Colorado Constitution's restrictions on using public money for sectarian purposes -- the so-called Blaine Amendments -- are being used to disparately impact Roman Catholics.
*****
Do you feel better now?
I do not want public funds used for religious purposes.


During a public meeting I asked a bishop how long it took to train a priest. He said 7 years. I said that during the War a Lancaster bomber pilot was trained in 6 months because that was an emergency. I said that we have a great emergency now and that a person with a degree could be trained to be a teacher in 12 months. I could not see that the training needs of priest and teacher was that much different. We have a mighty emergency regarding priesthood numbers now, I said, surely the training should be minimised as soon as possible. The bishop could not reply.  I was amazed.


One of the great Presidents.  You should ALL be thanking him for the job he is doing.  Put him on Mt. Rushmore.


You have no idea what his intentions were. The fact he popped off a few rounds at the workers and the police means that his intention was not good-willed.

The power company has the legal right to trim/cut trees in the power line easement. Or would you rather the trees grow up to destroy the lines leaving you with no electricity? I have the same easement on my property and I have no issues if they need to cut to maintain service.


I'm baffled why the MSM isn't referring to the "new" healthcare bill (Trump's destruction of Obamacare) as Trumpcare.


At what point did it become cool to defend white supremacists? And why is it that only white people (mostly men) do it?


Sure. Lock us down like North Korea or Cuba. Here is a compromise. If I tune into CTV, then I get Canadian commercials. If I tune into CBS (or whatever U.S. network), then I get U.S. commercials. Deal?


I would like to see a reference for the scientific 'guarantee' that sea levels will rise by 2 metres in the next 85 years.  I have found some predictions that might occur but they seem to be based on the most extreme climate model results, far above the average of the models.

Articles on current and recent (since 1950) sea level rises estimate a worldwide rise somewhere between 1 and 3 mm per year with no rate acceleration over that time.  If you use the upper rate for the estimate you get a sea level increase of 25.5 cm over the next 85 years, about 1/8 of what Ian Brown says is the minimum sea level increase.  This is still a concern but far from the scary scenario laid out in the article.

In his chaos statement Mr. Brown associates Toronto with various coastal cities in a concurrent flooding scenario even though Toronto is more than 70 metres above sea level.

Overall a passable piece of scare fiction.


Tax money shouldn't be going to farmers not to grow crops.
Tax money shouldn't be going to weapon systems that don't work.
Tax money shouldn't be supporting corporate welfare.
Stop ALL that spending and the we can talk about cutting the pittance we spend on the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.


The problem is not the so called " living wage", the problem is government forcing people to support the governments charity of choice, at gun point.

30 days !!!


We have a small trade surplus in goods due largely to oil which the USA wants and needs.  This is more than offset by a larger surplus the USA has in services.
These are not "alternate facts" or  "fake news"!
Trump has a solution looking for a problem.


I did not notice in the article that the children were from Iran. Can you quote your source? Or are you just blowing off steam?


What a lot of gobbledygook.


Totally ironic that Alec Baldwin, host of "Stump the Chump", was recently on Saturday Night Live playing the role of Donald Trump better than the Donald. Meanwhile Sarah P. gets a consolation prize by finally revealing what those notes written on the back of her hand during her YP run said. Golden nuggets??? Whaaaa???


So a comment without a single 'Like" is the Highest Rated.


The "projects" were one of the governments attempts at affordable housing. Large swaths Ghetto areas were raised and replaced in many major cities with high rise low rent apartments these were called the projects. Within a decade most had fallen into disrepair and there was little difference between the new buildings and the ghettos they replaced. As a result "the projects" became a euphemism for ghetto, it is in that context I use it. Kaepernick and Flynn are in positions to do more than just not rise for the National Anthem. Kaepernick because he has money he could use and influence if he personally would spend the time in the "projects" to work to provide opportunity and mentoring to so many young men that need it.If he truly believes in the "cause" he could do so much more than sit on his ass. Flynn is an elected official, he can introduce laws and ordinances to make sure whatever he is protesting never happens here.


Behold, the face of evil.


Business owners should NOT be allowed to 'hide' behind numbered companies, especially where they give rise to 'shells'. Some may be donors to political campaigns or cash-for-access fundraisers. Tax fairness is essential, but politicians don't understand business or self-employment.

Mr. Morneau's comparison of incorporated professionals (who earn their livings by selling their services & hiring their staff, paying for office space & equipment while providing their own benefits & retirement plans) to nurses, police officers or teachers makes NO sense.  Public service union positions negotiate for higher wages, benefits & pensions. No public service employee worries about costs at work. I'd be very surprised if any full-time public service employee earned the Canadian average income of $49,000, and their generous benefits and retirement packages keep many on the payroll despite performance.

Mr. M. should NOT pick some numbers & IGNORE other large gov't costs in his 'comparison'.


It will be just like Ontario then.  Both Premier Notley and Premier Wynne Mill need to dust off their resumes, as they will soon be looking for work


Wrong.  I would only 'gut' one third of it.  The remainder would continue to generate revenue.  Future generations will still get to live in a state with a very low tax burden because of the revenue from the remaining $35 billion funding operations.

You can take your $25K and invest it and continue create your own revenue stream of $1000 or more in perpetuity.  Or you can blow it on a new truck.  The choice is yours.  It's called personal responsibility.


Exactly! DNA speaks volumes.


The ugly American! Never been so true.


There are genuine mystical phenomena, although their supernatural nature is an open question.
Ask your doctor to give you his honest, uncensored medical opinion on the other question.


You miss my point.
I did vote for Bernie, stood in that long line to listen to him, and I get the downward spiral of a lot of lives.
But I also watched Eugene and Lane County make a conscious decision not to invest in a public shelter system. It had the money but spent it elsewhere, and instead kind of "block granted" its spending.
Well, now there is a real need for a massive public shelter, and no money. That has little to do with Trump or Sanders.
And as far as Trump not being the status quo candidate, that is incorrect. He is the status quo, living in billionaire style in his golden castle profiting from tax break upon tax break, in fact apparently not paying taxes for decades.
Anyone who voted for him expecting a miracle in the way of taking from the rich and giving to the poor is delusional.

Hey, how about we just get a Republican this time.

Thanks for the Corker Amendment. Good Riddance.


Russia scrambled a Sukhoi Su-27 fighter jet on Tuesday to intercept a U.S. B-52 strategic bomber.
B-52 carries only "friendly bombs", like the ones they used in Vietnam, among other places.


Great idea! Then the City has no money for new projects. Can't imagine anything wrong with that idea.


IF, college admission is based on the most qualified applicants, Asians will be the primary winners. I wonder how this action will impact that. Personally, I support the idea of diversity which may sometimes mean admitting a less qualified minority.


The right thing to do is apologize.

He should also apologize to Canada for having tortured the country with the malarkey he started.

And apologize to the family of his victim.


Your post was deleted by monitors!

See immature child , posting such complete stupid and hate based nonsense is being deleted and makes you as usual the laughing stock. Now, how about you grow up and debate the story as an adult just for once.


For those who were fortunate to hear Hilary today, it was a "no notes or prompts" display of serious problem solving and strategic thinking which has been sadly lacking for ah, yes 101 days.
Leadership by sloganeering just doesn't cut it, especially when the roulette wheel Trump uses to create his next guess is fickle, and he can't get passed his first flame out on any issue to date.
The US is a big, complex machine and it needs all the resources at its disposal to come to grips with a multitude of problems confronting it. It doesn't seem to be responding to the stimulae it has received so far from the new administration.


A lot of people have posted making a link between the famine and overpopulation as some sort of latter day Malthusian solution.
Numerous studies have linked family size with poverty. An ongoing civil war is hardly a situation ripe for economic advancement.
A more robust response to Al Quaeda and economic aid is the logical response, not creating some sort of hell on earth and guarding it like the Nazi rabbit warren in Watership down to prevent anyone from leaving.


Seriously? Using that logic then Richard Nixon would still have finished his term and maybe been re-elected. It took years to follow the evidence to the conclusion and it will take a good deal more time to find out about this case. Martin's job is to look at the facts, interpret them and raise questions about what they might mean. It's not just reporting the facts; no news story ever is.


Why doesn't assemblyman shut up about who gets a discount..Maybe he be dumb ?


The Bishops do listen and hear, but due to the volume of their own awesomeness, they may not hear anything else.


"It is a crime to cross the border other than as designated by immigration officials, but there is no separate crime for being unlawfully present in the United States," Chin said. "...it’s easy for such individuals to run into separate criminal problems even beyond their method of entry, such as filling out an employment eligibility form to get a job when they aren’t eligible to work. Unlawful presence is not a crime. It is a civil violation. You don't go to jail or receive any other criminal punishment for being in the country illegally — you get deported." http://www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2017/mar/15/florida-conference-catholic-bishops/being-united-states-unlawfully-crime/

So it appears to be illegal to cross the border without authorization and for filling out an employment eligibility form when not eligible. And over staying a temporary visa is also a civil infraction. You seem to be making a somewhat semantic point.


Educate and train one lab or the whole state?  I'd say prevention of the spread is a priority  which start by confining it at the source which is the big island. Training the state to prevent it from coming in should be first  and eradicating or confining it, a priority of equal importance , done secondary with outside funding from private entities affected financially ie. : hotels , restraunts, farmers, etc. dirated to the lab.


You had a chance, but you fella's decided you wanted the ***** grabber as your leader.    Don't blame anybody  for the  foolish choices  that you made.  I didn't vote for the liar


What are the "crazy low levels" of cesium found in krill and squid, and other lower food chain levels that cold water anadromous fish depend upon?
I have caught chinook covered with sea lice and bellies full of squid, meaning they were in salt fewer than eight hours ago.
How do these smaller critters assay? Do these harmless currents also bring fewer of them? We are in the midst of a miserable return of salmon and steelhead.
Isotopes, blobs, acidification, washing machines, cruise and freighter ship crap, hospital waste, dead Asians, etc.....it's getting nasty out there.
Maybe not presently for your average 300 pound American screen watcher, but it'll catch up.
I don't believe anybody anymore. Neither the alarmists nor the professional soothers.


Time to remove all the Old Blood and bring in the New Blood. Clean the swamp!!!


" You can apply that reasoning to anything humans are doing here, driving, building houses, working, mining, fishing, running, hiking, skiing, skijoring, climbing, and on and on."

Yes you can.  In fact you did.  And WHEN you did, I pointed out it constituted false equivalency.  And it still does.

And what you repeatedly ignore are two types of activities that apply to your fad-sport which DON'T apply to the other activities you mention.  If you travel rapidly through areas in which there are visual barriers preventing you from seeing at distance you are INCREASING the probability of an adverse bear encounter beyond that of those other activities.

You churn out a lot of words.  But in doing so you don't respond to the arguments which refute you.  Quantity doesn't equal quality.  Don't tell me, let me guess--attorney?


Many experts think the case would be close because the president does have a lot of leeway in immigration. But if a policy is seen as having a religious test, that could run afoul of the First Amendment in the eyes of the justices. In the campaign, Trump openly called for keeping Muslim visitors out of the country. As president, his executive action is not explicitly against Muslims but would apply to people coming from six countries with mainly Muslim populations.
US District judges Watson & Chuang even stated that Trump's campaign rhetoric of banning Muslim were used as grounds to halt the ban.
"Donald J Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States."  I guess like "wire tap" should not be taken literally, this statement shouldn't be taken literally either.  Just like "Mexico will pay for the wall?"  Dummies!!!


HELLO.  Its called 'propaganda' and its not illegal.  As much as it is disgusting.
Russia, China and yes, the US are experts at it.
Advertising for/against a nation, party, candidate is done everywhere all the time, unfortunately its seldom truthful.
In fact, its the US that champions 'freedom of speech' allowing all kinds of libelous statements to stand where in other nations they would be sued.
btw: Trump Won because of the undemocratic 'electoral college system', as he got 3 million less actual votes than Clinton.  Not 'majority rules' in America.


True, I should have done like the enlightened who got their news from Jon Stewart.


Have you no sense of shame?!  The Terrorists in France killed 400 people since 1970.  Americans killed one million Iraqis, an additional half a million were killed by American sanctions.  Firearms in America killed 1.5 million since 1968.

Have you ever cut open a pkg of these little carrots and then stuck your nose right in the opening? Bleach! They are bleached to keep them bright and fresh looking. I love veggies with a side of Sodium hypochlorite.


This is good as Trump can't preempt the disclosure of the sludge that will soon be flowing about his election campaign's tactics. Pardoning Manafort would be a losing proposition for Trump and would probably turn a few more elected Republicans actively against him.


Technically she's Trump's third lady.


BAC, "objectively (though arbitrary) measurable impairment," and observable physical impairment are different things.

People who try to drive while they are actually physically impaired due to marijuana will be caught the same way people who try to drive while physically impaired on any other substance are caught. Their driving creates reasonable suspicion for the police to pull them over and conduct a field interview. While there isn't yet a "breathalyzer" for pot, most people create the required probable cause for arrest, where a blood draw for pot can be conducted if necessary, long before the police have them blow. It's used to confirm what the police have already observed.


Tit for tat?


Correct Rob.


This is an important group.  I'm not familiar with details of cases they are working on currently, however, they have done some very good work to free innocent people.   It's not glamorous work, however, it's crucial work for ensuring civil liberties are given due attention.

I hope they can establish profile without over-the-top fundraising.

Cash is always the preferred payment for businesses that want to avoid taxes and for consumers who want to avoid paying HST.  However,  this Square payment option is a low fee convenient way for customers that don't have cash to pay.  I'm not really sure why there is suspicion that businesses who use this are not reporting taxes correctly, it wouldn't be any different from people who are using other services for credit/debit card transactions.


You still have not answered my questions, or do you have the intellect to?
