The article says its because Europe cuts their wood in metric measurements  which is what the the Chinese want. If this is indeed the only factor leading to a preference for European wood then it is shameful that the Canadian forest industry hasn't adapted rather than taking the easy way out by relying on the US. So much for innovative business!!


Agree. Lots of fake news out there. Hard to find the cure that actually works. Maybe that is their plan. Mass confusion. I could save everyone the trouble and just say what the cure is for the number one killer but that would be against the law.


I wonder that, too.  So I went to a Dallas news website. It must have 100 stories on it. I searched the page for "trump" and got one hit, but I couldn't find it even when I looked hard. Denver Post front page has 5 hits (3 stories) and they are all visible!

A case of the pot calling the kettle black, Boeing receives millions in subsidies in Federal, state and local tax breaks. Absolutely laughable Boeing would complain this over a measly 50 airplane order.


I didn't realize that O'Leary was mean spirited and divisive. Surely you must be thinking of someone else. I will grant you that he is outspoken and brash, but he is also a realist and understands our deficiencies and is not afraid to address them. I far prefer that to a feel good prediction about sunny days.


Maybe you should stop reading every single one of her articles?

Just a thought?


Kasich should talk - he went around HIS statehouse and accepted the Medicaid expansion like an idiot. Then had a hissy fit because Trump beat him. He's like McCain and Graham, the alt-left media always go to him when they want "... and Republicans agree with the left's lies..." quotes.  I wish people would stop covering this negative Nellie RINO.


As a gay person, I'm going to take the unusual position of saying that as long as the Holy Roman Catholic Church is teaching (falsely, IMO) that being gay is "objectively disordered and intrinsically evil" it makes perfect sense to have a policy statement barring gay men from serving as priests. I mean, why would any sane, self-respecting gay man even want to be part of an organization which teaches that?

On the other hand, I think it's perfectly obvious that the odious 2005 instruction is not stopping gay men from becoming priests, it's simply forcing them deeper into the closet where their sexuality becomes warped, their emotional growth stunted (usually at adolescence when they discover that they're gay) and then they end up molesting children. Same old, same old.

But I always have to ask, what about those with "deep-seated heterosexual tendencies?" I mean, shouldn't they too be barred for not being able to restrain themselves sexually? That doesn't seem fair, does it?


What none of these investigations has produced even a whiff of substance after many months.


That is what happens when you don't play by the rules and make it up as you go along.
You make big mistakes, but in the Presidency the consequences can be traumatic and far-reaching.


Has Heywood had a career..... what an odd question to ask!


John Doyle, that was positively poetic.  So, the OMDC is involved in making this kind of nonsense when there are so very many extremely smart and talented people struggling financially to contribute worthwhile and infinitely more fascinating content (which, in this case isn't saying much ...my Sharpie is more interesting than the inanity presented in any Real Housewives franchise....) Anyhow, where were we? Oh yes, why not make  REAL FILMMAKERS OF TORONTO???


Make that 619.  tick tick tick


Tobin is talking about 'blind faith'. If one wrestles with ones faith Tobin doesn.t want that person. Same as BXVI was/said.
Tobin wants pay, pray and obey. Nothing else
Hell-fire and brinstone.
My brother - a Republican -- says it thus: we were told we are sinners-sinners-sinners and put more money in the collection basket.


If you build it they will come. Its time to start scaling back the homeless assistance and invest that money into the criminal justice system so we can lock people up for longer than a couple of hours. The reason none of this exists in Springfield is because the homeless don't want to sit in jail for a couple of days when they break the law.


I'm not a liberal. I'm against policies that target religions. Christian or otherwise.

You said Trump did not call for a "complete shutdown of Muslims entering the country" I showed you that he did. You somehow think because he said "until our leaders figure out what is going on" or because of terrorism that it's okay to do that. It's legally not.


Kudos!  So needed (evidenced by many of the comments here) https://jasonjdotbiz.wordpress.com/2017/06/02/invisible-minority/


Two things: Gerson is a Left, Lib writer for the way too left leaning Washington Post.
Second, the WAPO is a newspaper that under the Graham family leadership prided itself and held a reputation for somewhat balanced journalism. Under its ownership by Jeff Bezos of Amazon, since he purchased the paper a few years ago, it has become less credible and has moved decidedly Left. What was once a great newspaper has turned in its' long-earned bona fides for circulation numbers.
Addressing the article, no president in my 60 year lifetime has made the US less safe, second only to Kennedy. Kennedy, you may remember, was sized up by Khrushchev in their Vienna summit as shallow and weak, which led directly to Russia moving missiles into Cuba. See below.

We experienced the same when Obama decided to disengage on the world scene and after he reneged on his "red line" in Syria, then came Crimea and the South China Sea by Russia and China.


so getting yelled at is worthy of a police call?
really ?
out


Are you talking about Barrack Obama?


Please for the love of GOD! STOP WAKING ME UP EVERYDAY WITH YOU RUDE AS HELL DELIVERY DRIVERS DESTROYING THE PEACE AND QUIET WITH THEIR NOISY, NO EXHAUST HAVING PIECE OF SHIT, GREEN MINI-VAN WITH PLASTIC FOR A REAR WINDOW. I HAVE WRITTEN TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE NOISE WENT AWAY FOR A WEEK THEN COMPLAINED AGAIN, NOTHING! CALLED AND TALKED TO JOHN AND HE SAID HE WOULD TALK TO HER BUT, HE GAVE ME A NUMBER TO CALL BECAUSE HE KNEW NOTHING WOULD GET DONE. HE WAS RIGHT! I FINALLY HAD TO CHASE THE DRIVER DOWN AND SHE SAID, "IM GETTING IT FIXED THIS WEEKEND." WELL ITS BEEN OVER A WEEK AND SHE IS BACK AND IM ABOUT TO LOSE MY MIND AS NOONE WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!  please stop the noise! fix the van! fix the van! fix the van! fix the van!


Whatʻs the problem homelessness or the cause? Speaking to issues of police jurisdiction by befuddled cops is ludicrous. The physical evidence that incriminates both city and state governments is appalling. Your article is less than what I expect from an experienced journalist such as yourself.  Better luck next time.


hey Justin - Canada is diverse but you only support chinese and muslims.  Why is that?


You got that right, Davis, 90% success rate of filing for bankruptcies and the other 10% making FAKE donations to veterans and using charity money to pay off his legal fees.  Gawd knows what else Trump has done that the public won't know about until after he loses the November election.


What an awful article and I am being generous calling it an article.   No depth,  no value.   Can you say FLUFF!


12 billion in high-end cars is nothing compared to the trade in Euro financial instruments done in London. Meanwhile, I don't think Germany can do a bilateral trade deal while it is part of the EU.,


Bernie Sanders doesn't owe Democrats an apology.


Did you have a real point to make because your post doesn't make one?


The idea that Obama killed the middle class is incredibly ignorant and anti-Obama rhetoric based in partisan talking points of no merit. Automation, Computers, Outsourcing and Global Competition are killing the middle class because firms make their money overseas (like Trump) and Americans would rather buy poorly made products multiple times rather than quality that costs more but only has to be purchased once. Wait 'til China reigns in its crappy processes and starts making quality, tell your kids to learn Mandarin; this century belongs to the Chinese.


So far the republican congress is okay with the trump kakistocrasy - As far as trump's compliance with the Emoluments clause goes, we'll likely have to await the outcome of the lawsuits - However, it wouldn't surprise me if in the interim the republican congress goes ahead and sanctions a trump kleptocracy - And no - I for one am not looking forward to a President Pence.


I fail to see the problem.


People should easily comprehend that touching someone, as we tell children, in the area that would be covered by a bathing suit without explicit consent is sexual assault.  Taking advantage of a person who is impaired by drugs or alcohol to the extent that they cannot think coherently to consent or not is sexual assault.


I am aware of a situation in rural Oregon where a family donated land for a school. Eventually the school was closed and the district wished to sell the site. It is my understanding that the heirs of the donor were bought out. I thought that was the law and the district had to do that if they wanted to sell the property to someone else.


Pretty much thinking Tridentinus can speak for himself without your interpretations.....


Ironically, the self-styled activists who continue to persecute Mr. Furlong are guilty (no pun intended) of  having the same type of  mentality as Donald Trump, someone with whom I doubt they have much in common, given his "grabbing" comments, etc.  People with this mentality argue that  legal processes and decisions are only legitimate and should be respected if they are decisions they agree with. Like Trump, these people choose to regard unfavorable court processes or decisions are as rigged, biased, or racially motivated (e.g. Trump didn't trust a Judge of Mexican ancestry to give him a fair hearing).  This degrades respect for the courts and replaces it with mob rule, where justice is whatever the mob says it is. Whether you are a social activist or an intellectually challenged American politician, the presumption of someone's innocence until PROVEN guilty in a court of law, is fundamental to a free and democratic society and should always prevail.


Must be something in the water in DC. Vanita Gupta head of the DOJ civil rights unit is demanding that the police departments hire drug using convicted criminal non-citizens as officers to equally represent the constituency and percentage of that ilk in the US communities.

Next she will demand the cops hire murderers and drug dealers and importers as cops to match their target audience of cartel clientele. Heck why not, many who like to comment here don't agree with current hiring practices for either APD or AST, so maybe gupta has it right

 I forgot DOJ already tried this in New Orleans, Lousiana and wound up with a lot of cops killing drug dealers and doing robberies but at least the hire met the DOJ profile forced on the departments.

Seems Ash Carter has the same water system.


The trade deadline is tomorrow.  Let's not delay, some team out there must have some use for Vance Joseph


And thee very worst of all, do not match her bigoted anti-white-poor biases.


Kira girl is spot-on.  It was not justified.  I hope that Hawaii does not become  another victim of untrained or undertrained security, police or sheriffs waving guns around.  Mainland cities have really suffered from this.


Contract put the health care stuff, but don't privatize anything justice related. That's one of the few legitimate functions of government, and the incentives are all backwards for private justice systems.


Lock ANWR up for good.


Hey "There it is", there it is NOT. Typical weak criticism that is not only anonymous, but also superficial, incorrect and of course, no supported by any facts. Try going to the USCG, USN, Red Cross, Catholic Social Services, Governor of Puerto Rico,  FEMA, NASA and many other web services, you may get some more accurate information. Put down the chips, turn off CNN and MSNBC, your judgment may be fading.
Have the guts to identify yourself, take responsibility for what you claim. BTW, why are you not complaining about the efforts in Texas or Florida ? Because the ADN (alias pawn of WA. Post) has not published any trash ? Or is it because things are going well enough down there ?


Wynne/McGuinty.....your dynasty is about to crumble, one more debacle on your plates to deal with....how will they spin this one?!   Don't forget about the architect of the Green energy act too Butts, who is now up at the PM office.


Good for you Edmonton. If you win the series you'll get the privilege of playing against a well-rested Ducks team. Just consider it a gift from your friends in Calgary.


First nations must know by now trodeau  has a forked tungue


First, an MBA program needs GMAT, not SAT scores. Second, he transferred from Fordham University. Here is the link:-

http://fortune.com/2015/08/14/donald-trump-wharton/

The article also mentions that he doesn't release his school records, though he has claimed to be an Honours student (though his name wasn't there on the honours list). It also says he lied about being first in his class.

Political Fact checkers have found that 75 percent of his statements during the campaign were lies. I doubt Trudeau could get anywhere close.

Trump never went bankrupt - true. So why doesn't he release his taxes, like all candidates have for the last 40 years?


The church's charitable works include running hospitals and feeding the poor.  That is called building the Kingdom.


So he is a misogynist but he is good on refugees..  Okay then.  Why does he get a pass on women because he likes refugees?


I am one person, and am not hiding behind any other avatar.  I pay my subscription to the RG, and am free to post what I want.  If you want to threaten me, let's meet face-to-face to discuss like real men.  Just name the time and place, and I will be there.


Indeed, her weak agenda has been overlooked due to the Trump Circus. Although Hillary presents herself as the most Presidential, she will NOT bring change and we can't risk more of the same. Much liberal direction and philosophy is classicaly oppositional and traps voters and fleeces the country, i.e., Bernie. Think about it..nothing says your standing up against greed like banding together to demand free stuff. Really??  OR the entrapment of the poor with more free stuff, keep them dependent, mildly comfortable and in trade "we" get their vote and promise to keep the free stuff coming. Entrapment, not help, pure and simple. With Hillary we get more of this goofy crap and a poor economic and foreign policy to boot. I am voting Trump. Do I like him..no I cannot stand him - he will be a hugh embarrassment. I am voting for his "list" and putting my faith in Pense, the Constitution and the Congress to keep him "busy" while carrying out work on "the list".   It's what we need DESPERATELY,


Offensive is in the eye of the beholder. If one is offended by some costumes, either stay home and hide, or simply rise above it. Maybe direct your concerns towards something bigger, like child abuse, youth homelessness, increasing taxes, or fake news.


I have been  a party to many hiring meetings and never has the idea been brought up to hire a woman so we can pay her less.

On the other hand I have heard the idea that young women are more responsible than young men and therefore less risk.

My personal opinion about wages is we need to teach women to negotiate better from a young age.


Sorry, Venezuelan's got themselves into this mess, let them stew little longer.

China is on the hook for $80 Billions, and all the useful idiots said that the whole experiment was to show a "better way", so let them show it.


It appears you'd feel more comfortable in a more socialistic country.  However, you don't have to wait much longer because we're headed that way.  Just be patient.


I lived through it, I've done bad drugs and I've got my act together.
