1.  Call me in about 7-10 years when you see it again.

2. You are changing a very very small part of the atmosphere.  The not completely understood parts have a much larger influence.
As for the computer models used for prediction, world class experts say they are not credible.
I conclude that 100% confidence is not rational.


My question is the Wyland mural considered art? Or is it a commercial calling card for his retail art business?


If we ban all money, then why would there be a need to " Prosecute as felonies all government officials' fraud, embezzlement, influence peddling, incompetent and irrational policy making, and wrongful pursuit of oligarchical interests over public enlightened best interests."??? I mean, everything will be hunky-dory if we ban money, right!

While we're at it, why don't we ban all forms of government? That way, there's not even a tiny possibility of government corruption!


"Rebel Media"?  What a joke! So do  they think they are in Mobile Alabama? Or maybe Macon Georgia and not St. Albert?

And "lock her up" telegraphs their level perfectly. These are the type of people who think a stop light is an infringement of their liberty and that climate change is a Chinese hoax.

The white hoods and gowns must have been at the dry cleaners...


Or save even more by not buying anything.


Obscene.


lot of behavioural psychology at play.  Danny Kahneman, Amos Twersky and Richard Thaler are smiling!


amateur conservatives are greatly annoyed & flustered when trying to justify the imbecilic policies of their leaders. How is it you vote against your own interests year after year?


Where does it say the NRA is involved? Are you having difficulty separating the innocent citizens from the criminals, liberals screw that up all the time. Duh!


Firm as a over cooked spaghetti noodle...


davebarnes, very few of them are 'helpless." The ones I work with are leeches. I am a liberally-minded voter, and so are my friends. We all agree that women should not be having more children, with fewer fathers, on the taxpayers dime. I can't even imagine that makes sense to anyone.


Speaking of writing "filled with falsities and bigotries"....


So in other words, the Ontario Liberals secured the teachers vote.


I was glad to see this story receive recognition beyond "wow" emojis on Facebook. I left my earthquake preparedness kit with my roommate when I moved to the Midwest, but I'll be back someday, and I want my family to be prepared for the Big One in the meantime. Stop, drop and cover, Oregon!


I believe it's tradition that heads of state don't attend the swearing in of U.S. presidents.


Boots is getting grades lower than UKUleleBoo and wiliki. appears to be a lack of Brain cells and not a lick of common sense between them- Dumb & Dumber come to mind
as I read he posts


followed by the list of stupid rumors generated by said NY Times....   you really Believe their junk???   you must also love believing in Fox News
 crazy -


The youth portfolio belongs to the prime minister. This is an initial indictment on his performance. The young people who attended his press conference are simply exercising their democratic right. He was elected......the young people are part of the electorate. The young people are part of our collective voice. If someone wants to stand on ceremony and throw out the comment that they are not being listened to then maybe they need to turn their eyes on themselves and re-examine what might be causing this. Sorry to say that the common sense approach that I just described will be circumvented by supplication to the TTP. This is proof positive that our elected officials are towing the corporate line.....using our taxes no less. Oligarchy is the word of the day!
I do not represent anyone else except myself. I am only sharing my perspective and expressing my concerns as an individual who is witnessing a decline in the consideration for the electorate.
I still have hope and possibilities!


It's war, people get injured, what did you expect?


I'm taking a survey:

Has anyone taken an introductory course in Economics in which the professor did not explain the folly of rent controls?


wrong story bud


Juneau Chamber Of Commerce members are calling for a veto by gov Walker to keep all of the cash for a road to a ferry terminal.

Why would the state knowingly approve a project that will increase the state budget to the tune of $5 million per year at the same time that shrinking budgets have forced it to close maintenance road and airport maintenance stations across the state?


That's a paradoxical statement. Human beings are also animals. We sure aren't plants or fungi. So, what you mean to say is "Human beings come before ANY other lifeform."


You do not have to be married to have your hand fully up one's backside.


Very good point.  Doug may be too busy pursuing cases which shine the spotlight light on him...Or he's too focused on Maui Prosecutor (Dog leash case) lol!


And ? Even imperialist, capitalist running dogs ?


So illegal immigration is now legal. Very interesting.


Richard B. Spencer, a white nationalist who refers to himself as the “Karl Marx of the alt-right” and has called for “peaceful ethnic cleansing” for a “white homeland,” rejoiced on Twitter shortly after midnight, on election day.


This guy's an embarrassment all the way around.

That stated, will people stop insulting Alabama? I've been there many times and found it to be completely mischaracterized and misunderstood. It's a good state with really nice, hard-working people. It's nothing like any of these obnoxious, insulting posters would think if they actually went there for any period of time. I just don't like stereotypes like this. I don't assume New Englanders are all effete pinheads who haven't worked an honest day in their lives, so don't assume Alabama's full of jugheads, neither stereotype is true and they're usually offered by people who feel inadequate themselves.


As expected, Mr. Butts' ego got in the way of making contingency plans in the event that the new world order didn't follow his blueprint.

Stay tuned, more surprises are in store for him.


Here is a novel idea: how about enforcing law?  Instead of applying Hegelian Dialectics in most perverted way


KC Jackson, Lets not be narrow minded, most of the Native regional corporations and some of the village corporations have their corporate head quarters based there in Anchorage and pay their fare share of taxes and hires a lot of non shareholders and get paid well and put in voluntary work and donate to the non profit organizations in good faith to the community of Anchorage.


A mature pine forest must burn to renew itself. When it is not allowed to burn things like the pine beetle infestation occur. The fires in BC this summer consumed thousands of ha of standing dead trees. The worst environmental disaster in Canada, all due to poor forest management.

The trees around Banff have not burned in over 100 years. The folks in the city will have a coronary when Mother Nature sends in fire or beetles.

Logging can be a substitute for fire. Maybe they should put some horse loggers to work in Banff to make it more palatable.


Because as far as color goes, the dominant gene is the black gene and the child will not look white.  It is also because of a bias against blackness by some groups.  If a child has a certain percent of black heritage, they are considered black.  This is not at all unusual nor limited to black and white.  It is a way of preserving culture, hence a child with a Jewish father but a Christian mother is not considered Jewish.  Bias is not always about hating something.  It is about a love of something too.   That Obama was scarred says more about his lack of proper upbringing than about racism.  He should have been taught to love himself and his enemies and to overcome evil with good rather than vengeance.


Its become apparent that the fed share of $1.5 B is a diversion.  Like RTH eloquently stated above the common taxpayer has been hoodwinked.  The $1.5 B fed share "reason" that these crooks are using to keep the project going is just an excuse.  Like RTH said look at all the $1M condos sprouting like weeds in Kakaako.  He hit the nail on the head with a sledgehammer.


"...they are all Natives." Where do you get your information? Have you ever taught in the bush? I spent 7 years and out of 4 principals, only one (for one year) was Native. Just curious where you get the "all" from.


Richmond sold city land near the Oval, for development as high end condos, in order to help pay the construction debt for the Oval.  These units were presold overseas, and half of them sit sold, and empty.

This helped facilitate the attraction of Richmond's housing as a commodity, primarily for overseas sourced money looking for shelter, or speculation. 'If it were not for the Olympics and the city's need to raise money fast, it could have planned an integrated community on this land, with a mix of market and supportive housing, included much needed rentals.

Instead we have a ghost town.  2010 was a great party, but for Richmond the hangover continues.


It is interesting to note that the Globe felt it necessary to identify the pipeline as Kinder Morgan instead of its actual name the TransMountain pipeline. It is a shallow attempt to keep the owner/operator of the line's name front and centre for future headlines.


It is doubtful we will ever get that chance again.  And frankly, Hillary was a bit conservative so no real loss there.  While she would have made a better president than the Donald, the main difference between the two presidencies is that Hillary would not be under investigation so quickly.  I mean come on, barely a hundred days and already a special prosecutor has been appointed for the Donald.  What is going to happen when 300 days pass?


I have not changed any of my comments, nor retracted anything.

But if you live in enough of a dark muddled fantasy to think I have, I'm not going to bother any more.


What a sad and pathetic post.

Your 'hope' should be on the Trumpster to not mess this up too badly - like he did with the 'replacement' part of destroying America's healthcare process, and with his Muslim ban, and his picks for AG and Education Secretary and Commerce and Health and Secretary of Russi ... er, I mean "State".. Et cetera.


Seriously? If the white government had never forced the Kivalina-area residents to turn a seasonal hunting camp into a permanent settlement, there would be no problem. Kivalina's issue is a white government-created problem. The people would have wanted to maintain their way of life which was in harmony with the land, but we (white government) made them stop.


If you live near Markham, like I do, and are white, like I am...then you, like me, are the visible minority.  Time to look at moving further away from Markham and the rude asians referenced above.  One of the main reasons my family has to go to Newmarket or Uxbridge so we don't get runover at the stores.


The Environment Minister said in interview that the provinces must each have a price on carbon or a cap and trade process but that each province could do what it wished with the money collected.  Note that Ottawa has left it up to individual provinces to administer collection and bear the cost, just as BC does now.  Might this not lead to the provinces collecting their own income tax, administering their own costs and sending Ottawa what's left.  They could get the formula from Quebec, which I believe does that now?


She's a political hack.  I thought I heard PM Trudeau promise that things were going to be done differently.


I'm not sure I've ever seen or heard any from you that isn't a complaint or criticism.  Please enlighten us, if Alaska was led by Governor McLeod, how would you solve our fiscal crisis?


If the orange idiot could shut up, it would have been covered!!!  Trump's fault!!!!! (tm)


If Layla is going anywhere, it's someplace where she can keep a wary eye on those pesky Syrians she detests reading about.  Let's see... what country might that be?

Hint: it illegally occupies Syrian territory, which it claims to have "annexed", but which the whole world says is contrary to international law.


Congratulation to Mrs. Cogdell-Unrein!  Thank you for contributing by putting Alaska on the 2016 Olympics map.


Common sense dictates keeping the old building in use until ready to begin construction.  Why was it torn down so early?  There are logical steps to implementing a project like this. Get council and public input on design characteristics; hire architect; finalize design; put it out to bid , with specific penalties for contractors lack of performance or cost overruns. If a contractor underbids (demoliton of old City Hall cost doubles), they usually eat it in real life.  Use the building of our Library as a model to how to do things right.


This is the video:

Well, all the people who are too lazy to walk up or down the street to a controlled intersection or a designated signaled crosswalk will have a few more seconds to get across the five lanes of traffic.


Gross.


At no time do you ever have anything remotely intelligent to offer public debate. That would require intelligence. Neither do you know how to be a man, and man up when your profound ignorance is debunked by facts you cannot remotely refute. That would require character. What you fail to grasp is that you are the political twin of right wing Christians.


I'm talking about a condo, not a house.  I've paid $0 in maintenance during my 7-8 years living here (aside from condo fees which is factored into the $1,700).  Meanwhile, the value of my condo continues to go up month after month while my principal costs keep falling.


The most important sentence in  this article is the last one, regarding NAFTA.
Trump "would need Congress to approve rolling back its provisions, such as by putting tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods that are currently exempted."
Trump can pull U.S. out of the pact, but that is just symbolism unless Congress approves the proposed changes.
Mr. Blowhard was left looking pretty stupid when his "terrific" health care plan went down in flames.  The same will happen here. Both houses are non-protectionist free traders.
Trump said of his health care defeat: "Gee, who would have thought health care is so complicated?"
Six months from now, he is going to be saying something equally vacuous about NAFTA.


As far as much of the GOP is concerned, McCain is a RINO.  I get that it seems odd that they would decide that the isn't a "real" Republican, since he has been one since before many of those who denigrate him were born, but that seems to be the direction the party is going.  Hell, they think that Paul Ryan isn't conservative enough for them most days.


1st Amendment, yes, but it is always wise to keep your mouth shut over things you know nothing about. That goes for angry presidents and also for drama queens who are paid millions for playing a game.


The guy got the 30 days in spite of what our Democratic Bad Mouthing Congressional Delegation did. If Trump was half as bad as they say he is it would have been adios amigo.


If the military wasn't bleeding off 53 cents of every tax dollar to fund endless wars for endless profits we could afford to protect our own people.


Hope the cabinet gave Captain Crayons some coloring books for on the way to New York so he could keep up with his homework.

Nice to see the big decisions and direction for this gang of clowns is being given to someone who actually knows something about trade agreements.


You're not just drinking the Kool-Aid, you're guzzling it!


traffic cams are in use at certain intersections in anchorage, you just have to look up. and no i am not talking about the i/r things for the flashing lights.


It's not really fair that a writer (using their real name) should be barraged by anonymous posters using the misinformation tactics and ad hominem attacks on display here.

The G&M should move to a system like the CBC has that involves real names to get rid of anonymous postings.

Would somewhat level the playing field against the immoral and dishonest Trump supporters, at least.


Perhaps modifying the state of Alaska boundaries into 26 discrete areas will help.  The area of what is now "Alaska" will report to the federal governmint their own discrete needs.  Their own assets (oil) will be managed by the 26 new state governmints that will have direct linkage to their own constituents.  The railroad has already helped in this regard I believe by bisecting the state of Alaska for us into three regions:  North Railroad Alaska, South Railroad Alaska, and Railroad Bed Alaska.  (I don't believe it is that random that the railroad vehicle is featured on this year's election pamphlet).  Our current US congressman and the two US senators would benefit from being with a larger regional voting block.


Meanwhile, test scores plummet.


Carbon taxes will be a hot potato that will change gubbermints.  just like in Australia.


Statuary is the physical embodiment of glorifying someone.  That's the only reason statues are erected.  And I'm not sure that statues are required for history lessons.


A few years ago, a native guy tried to enter Ireland on a "Native Passport". A Native Passport was a gimmick "passport", made in 1967 as part of Canada’s centennial.  He was turned away at the Irish airport and he filed a human rights grievance against Ireland, claiming he was discriminated against. The fact the "passport" has no legal value was hard to accept and many natives were bitter their "rights" were being denied.  That is the level of delusion we are dealing with here.


You don't get it. The question is not really "Should divorced and civilly remarried people receive communion?"

The question is really, "How do Catholics know what Christ wants them to do?"

The official answer has been for almost five hundred years that the faithful learn the will of Christ from the Magisterium of the Church. Specifically, something that has been taught by all bishops ever since the time if Christ is considered to be known to be part of the original teaching of Christ, transmitted by the apostles.

So the real question is whether the Pope thinks this principle should be done away with; and if so, whether it's really a good idea to do away with it; and if so, is this something the Pope can even decide.

Everybody has sympathy for the divorced and civilly remarried. But a lot of people think abandoning a fundamental epistemological principle should not be done by deliberate obfuscation and ambiguity.


You want to talk about past presidents? Let's start with the Bushes.
And Obama merely put some existing laws into operation. Apples and Oranges.


Actually it's good advice for you too, Prog. You might try actually reading for a change.


I sincerely hope that charges were laid, particularly against those desecrating the Quran.


That's a good question. Probably because the press is lazy.
If the man and the woman in this relationship have no legal ties to each other, then the two children don't either.
But calling them step siblings is an easy shortcut to convey to the public that the 15 year old and the 10 year old have kind of, sort of a relationship between each other because of their respective parents' romantic and/or physical relationship.
In fact, I'd rate laziness as a sin of the press that's far more prevalent than outright bias.


But who will volunteer to pay more money for less utility like that.


I detect a whiff of optimism in this column, but Sarah K. may have a point.  As things are going now, Trump's unhinged statements about white supremacists, etc., will make it more and more difficult for establishment Republicans to continue to tolerate / support him.  It is at least possible, if not likely, that the GOP will have to act---probably by impeaching Trump---before the 2020 election (and possibly before the 2018 mid-term congressional elections).  When this happens it's going to tear the Republican party apart as Trump's core supporters exact their revenge; which is precisely why it hasn't happened yet.

Stay tuned.  This should be quite a show!


I agree with this article but am surprised the RG published it. (So soon no less.)


We live in Ontario and there is no ban in our high school. French fries and poutine are one of the few options offered. And quite frequently, if you don't get there in the first 10 minutes of lunch, there is nothing at all left.


Trump and the Pope together: Candidate Trump declared, “I will make absolutely certain religious orders like The Little Sisters of Poor [who the pope visited in the US] are not bullied by the federal government because of their religious beliefs" about contraception. The pope said: “Migrants should be treated according to certain rules, because migration is a right, but one which is highly regulated ... And if a country is only able to integrate 20 [refugees], let’s say, then it should only accept that many. If another is able to do more, let it do more,” he said. His Sect. of State Cardinal Parolin congratulated Trump: "The future leader has already spoken like a leader.” Trump and the Pope also agree on abortion and denying LGBTQI persons equal right.


It isn't the same. It's synthetically produced from coal tar like so many other medications. There will always be something therapeutically missing.


the dichotomy defined by the border is stark-
-
the American bias :  "Anyone can become a success , achieve wealth and offer their children a better life than they themselves  had"
-
The Canadian bias under the governments of Trudeau , Wynne and Notley:
-
"Punish the educated"
-
I miss Mr Harper


What's scary is while Siemian's play was awful with 2 turnovers (1 pick), he should have actually had at least 4 turnovers, possibly 5. There were 2 passes which hit the defenders right in the hands which were dropped, and another was almost as easy.


Based on current wisdom, she said it happened, so it did.


And only another 45 minutes to go the last three miles!  Awesome!


So maybe elaborate on the lies? This will be fun!


How's this now becoming a "mumpdemic"?  Who's bringing it into the Community?  Perhaps the State should add another tourist surcharge and have the cost of implementing a state wide vaccination program per the aforementioned.  Running parallel to this are we properly screening the incoming?  I would not be surprised that with the influx of off shore visitors that there will be a pandemic situation on the horizon.  In my opinion, we won't be proactive and have to go thru a fire drill to address by asking for Federal Funds to address.   In addition to standing at the trough for The Rail funding, Medicaid overspend $, etc.


Thanks for the "insightful" analysis.
If people with Progressive Psychosis say sell it's probably a good time to buy!


AK:  Your comment says more to pilot and air carrier indifference than Medallion deficiencies.  Medallion is an educational tool and useful to those interested in aviation safety and wise aviators and carriers value it.  However, taking the courses offered does nothing to insure the lessons are applied. You know, you can take a horse to water.....  Those that denigrate its value are the one's to avoid flying with.


Steelhead arise from the most adaptive variant of trout known- the bo. They're here because of a wide range in temperature tolerance.
But I sure agree with you about those g-ddam sea lions and the Portland micro-brew wienies who snivel over them. Those dead firs covered with cormorant crap on the Siuslaw's South bank stand as markers of their destructive invasion. It's a pretty bird, but I'm not all that fond of Caspian Terns either. Jumping through the many Obama administration hoops to qualify an individual sea lion as a pernicious threat isn't going to relieve any pressure. Sure it's mostly a human problem, but you get in trouble for killing humans, it's time to start killing rival predators. We'll burn votive candles for them or something, it's time to come to the aid of some close friends, for the present as well as the future. They can't have a future if crowded out of the present. Thanks WL.


Is it a magical cake with expressive powers?

It's up to the Republicans who hold the majority in both houses. In the Nixon mess, 11 Republicans saved the country when they decided the right thing to do, for the country, was to not protect Nixon from impeachment. In today's congress it would require two dozen Republicans in the House of Representatives and about 10 in the Senate, to do the same. The issues are clear as day, and growing every day. Will enough Republicans put country ahead of party? I have my fingers crossed.


The frankness and openness of this Pontiff is refreshing.


Alaska has a Youth Military Academy that's designed to reprogram dysfunctional youth.  Perhaps it's time to scoop up the homeless and put them in a Homeless Academy whereas they're run through a boot camp that'll awaken personal responsibility skills.  Just a thought.


Your right about "Quebec ban on face coverings a blatant violation of religious freedom" but it is about time the brakes were put on over religious freedom. The Quebec ban was for security to be able to identify people for Law and Order and should be right across Canada as Prime Minister Stephan Harper was going to do. There must be limits to Religious freedom when some extremist Religions people are not promoting a safe Quality of life and easy identification of themselves for witnesses of crime to tell police or employees to identify them for credit card fraud and many other situations where a good description of someone is very useful to enhance our Canadian way of life.


Thanks for proving the recent study that college educated liberals are the most likely to stereotype and hold prejudices.

Nope no truck and not stickers.

I have pulled my gun  in justified self defense. It Was on a police officer who was on my property in the wrong. No bullet holes here. Cops do not shoot willy nilly.


You're right about the memorizing part, somewhat, but that's all. Tests such as OAKS (?) are specific, very much so, as are all the other state-mandated ones supposedly based on core competencies.
Saying "abstract skills" measure intelligence is wrong: they are advertised as such, merely.
"Liberals" haven't done anything injurious to learning--- they've fostered and improved it since the Greeks. "Conservatives," by definition, resist improvements and harken back to the "good old days." We all know thar ain't no such thing, and never were.
Again, since you ignored it, Bush has done more to destroy learning than any modern president. And I'm sorry you disagree: many teacher organizations disagree with you about teaching to the test: they protest it.


I have 30+ years of experience behind the wheel in my own trucks and other vehicles that I have used on the job.  Probably closing in on 2 million kms driven.  I do not need to sit in moms basement and get all wheezy over stuff that I read on the internet.  Try reality some time.  It is far more satisfying.

PS lock the doors and keep your keys in your pocket.  That may help with your missing vehicle problems.


And once again, you intentionally miss the point of owning your own vehicle. Freedom of choice! You choose your time of travel, your route of travel, your companions, (or none), your music (or none) the cleanliness of your companions, all those things which are dictated by those who are attempting to force people to use a mode of transportation that those ‘in charge’ think is best. (Not the one that those doing the forcing use themselves, of course). Buses are for the ‘little people’.

LTD managers for example, are too important to use the bus to go about their daily business. They arrive at bus accidents in LTD provided vehicles, even though the bus routes could get them there. They attend meetings about the city using LTD vehicles, not the bus. They could plan ahead and use the bus, but that is too difficult for such busy important people. The ‘little people’ can easily do it, of course.

Mass transit is for the "masses" not the intelligentsia.  I choose to ride like my "betters".


Jonah you really believe Mr. Trump read the history of "American First"? But look at the outcome. Your father in law Paul moved to Fairbanks from communist Europe to avoid continual wars and Commie overlords, and thus you found the love of your life and married her.


John Bond: You may be interested in a video interview I conducted and posted back in May with Dr. Chip Fletcher, which lays out very clearly the implications of climate change on Hawaii. I'm not sure why others in the Hawaii media have been reluctant to amplify Dr. Fletcher's sane and passionate voice.

Awesome!! Congratulations to a great performance.


A set up to conflict.  North Dakota really does not have the police force numbers to evict safely.  They will need to send in 700 Federal Officers if this is to happen because by the time December 5th rolls around there will be 10,000 people in that camp.


The State's fiscal house is in such a mess, major re-consideration of the whole picture is called for, but the many trough-feeders will resist this similar to the way liberals continue to whine about the last election.


Subhumans continue to prove they will always be a burden on society while the lunacy of no assimilation by invaders proves the inferiority of hispanics

Excellent job by our State Department of Health to track down the source of the outbreak. We rely on thousands of government employees to keep us safe. This is not the time to allow politicians to pull the wool over our eyes and make the argument that the better way is to cut taxes and privatize public safety.


While I understand how badly you want smashed hard drives to be proof of guilt, the fact is, destroying (shredding, drilling, or smashing) old hard drives is on every IT (Information Technology) 'best practices' list. The same goes for smart phones, tablets, etc.
The goal is to prevent proprietary/sensitive data falling into who knows who's hands.
This has been standard practice ever since a number of companies/governments, 10+ years ago, were auctioning off old computers with the hard drives intact, and the purchasers of the equipment claimed ownership of the data.


Tancredo's nomination would assure another loss for the Republic party.


Trump created an empire and junior T. never even  ran a paper route. What sad PM.


You are quite mistaken. Members of the cabinet, such a Cabinet Ministers and Prime Ministers, exercise in addition to legislative power, executive power.

Executive power is the setting of policies and directing departmental budgets.

Furthermore, they are privy to confidential information, which could be of value in commercial and market transactions.

For example, if someone knew that the government has a plan to invest in a particular area, and had bought real estate there in advance at a lower price with this knowledge - or alternatively if they influenced policy to serve a region where they owned real estate.

If they knew that a decision would affect the stock price of a certain industry and shorted their stock position - also known as insider trading.

However, if their assets are in a "blind trust", then presumably all their investments are at an arm's length - and they do not know where their assets are invested and cannot influence the investment.


a more socialism is the last thing ontario needs


As expected, several persons have indicated that they disagree with my comment.

Fair enough.  However, I would be interested in one or more of them explaining in detail why it was appropriate, even commendable, for

1.  the Chretien and Harper Governments to aid the US Government to submit Khadr to a decade of incarceration without due process, including torture.  (Would this be appropriate if it were another Canadian minor or adult in similar or other circumstances?)

2. the Justice Department to drag out a lost cause (i.e. liability for damages issue) before the courts given that this (a) would be a misuse of the courts and of the Department's duty to the courts and the Canadian people not to abuse the judicial system, and (b) would waste the resources of the justice system and increase the amount ultimatly awarded Khadr.


and the Trads of his day killed him for it.


FS:  Yeah Frank I got it.  It is you who doesn't get it. So stay where you are and whine from afar because I don't care what someone who doesn't live here thinks about much of anything.  Got that?  Stick it.


RangerMC, Good idea to write L and R on your shoes.  But you should have gotten somebody to tell you which one the left one was and which one was the right one. You subsequently learned, but you learned the wrong thing.


Thank you for sharing.  It is a wonderful meditation on communion and community.

It sounds like the Board has subcontracted the management of AGDC to LNG America.  If so, just let them handle all the office issues and stop micro-managing the new guy.
It sounds like the new President isn’t a State of Alaska employee (not shown on State’s website).   So is he still an employee of LNG America that you have contracted with for management services?
Do any of the rules of State employment apply to Mr. Meyer?  Or is AGDC so separate that even though the spend public money there is none of that encumbrance of accountability and transparency.
Does Mr. Meyer have a clear context of the who and what responsibilities he has?
Please don’t wait till the next Board meeting on August 11 to clarify these directions and relationships.  A lot of us are really interested in you succeeding for us, but are feeling we haven’t been told the whole story.


I suspect that as labour price differentials decline and automation becomes ubiquitous, the economics of shipping widgets halfway around the planet will abate.


You say "meaner," I say "Less repressed by political correctness."  I, personally, am tired of having to be careful in the words I use when I speak.  I was starting to sound like Obama, searching for just the right word so to come off as non-opinionated as possible so as not to offend anyone.  He learned a big lesson from the politically correct tyrants early in his term when he mentioned "Jerry's Kids" during an interview.

Many people who voted for Trump were tired of being told how to think, how to speak, and who to like or dislike.  Talk about a lack of freedom.


You're doing good work!  Understanding Catholic marriage laws and how they mesh with civil laws is a daunting task and in many respects does not produce clarity, if only because it can't!   But whatever you can pick up by studying the history of marriage, particularly in canon law, will, I believe, give your collective efforts a big boost!  It's not easy, but I'd predict that you will learn a lot while you're having lots of fun!  The two CLSA commentaries on  the 1983 Code of Canon Law are useful resources, if not indispensable.


What I can't figure out is, since Manafort and Gates had been obviously laundering money for years, why in the hell would they take such a high profile risk of being discovered by working on a Presidential camapaign? Especially one where the guy running for President is so disliked. It doesn't make any sense. Just straight greed? They had to know some digging was going to be done. Seriously, it doesn't make any sense.


Regardless of whether or not that's a fair comment on the Globe, who else do you think is going to build all the housing we need?  Not going to be the government my friend.
If investors can't make an appropriate return they take their money elsewhere, development freezes and the market values continue to track up.


An amateur psychiatrist and doctor.  Impressive. So many of these graduates on this site. Must be a convention in town.


Good guy.
As a book, the bible has had more influence over western culture as well as other major parts of the world.


I don't know why anyone would consider Obamacare anything other than a dismal failure.


It was accidental.  The person was at home and thought that they were logged into their twitter account, not the DHSS account.  As stated in order to post to the DHSS account, first the person must create a personal twitter account.  The person was at home on their personal phone, which has both accounts accessible.  They were inadvertently posting from the DHSS account.


You are comparing the costs of premiums, to the cost of running a hospital.  Premium costs went up because A LOT more people have healthcare now than did before and that now includes a lot of people with a lot of pre-existing conditions.

Again, the fact is, charity health costs that hospitals pay under Obamacare, have gone DOWN.  That is a fact.  Sorry if that does not fit in your narrative, but thats just what it is.  What that specific hospital charges for its services is dependent on that specific hospital.  Unless that hospital is in a group with set expenses (like Kaiser, for example), your medical costs could be very different depending on which hospital you go to.  Saving $2million in "charity expenses" does not all of a sudden mean that your ER visit is going to cost $50 less than what you were paying before.  Thats not how it works.  The fact that you think thats how these things work only proves you just gobble up GOP talking points and dont do any research on your own.


The souls in Hell are definitively lost...as Jesus told us not everyone who says “Lord, Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven. Of course, someone will claim “we didn’t have a tape recorder!” but they never say that when it comes to Jesus’ more comfortable sayings. It’s troubling that folks want to make Francis more merciful than Jesus.


Niagara, he is many things, the catcher of aspirations cast his way, the straw that stirs the drink, the cheese that grates . . . but especially the latter.


Talk about a picture speaking a thousand words here you have a shot of a Trump supporters gathering of what, a dozen people?, out of a metro area of roughly 300,000 or so...yeah, that speaks volumes all right.


Why would he condemn BLM?


You can fight Social justice all you want... Just don't use our tax dollars to do it.


Hey, look who actually did a tidbit of research. Gold star, GBA. But if you don't play, why do you care how fools choose to be parted from their money?

Good to know you've also cracked the "marketing" code. That way you won't end up with a shiny, new Lexus under a big red bow in your snowy driveway after falling for that old sticker-price gambit.

For the record, I was merely noting your enigma en fuego quality. Congrats on that big win.


Oh what a tangled web we weave when we conspire to deceive.


Yeah, because up to now there has been a real epidemic of stolen laptops from the TSA.

Does your tinfoil hat set off the metal detector or do you take it off before going through?


I would think insurance plays a role here. If I'm an insurance company and an NHL player comes to me for a face related claim (lost time injury) while not wearing a visor that would have prevented it, I'd be very tempted to say "No." Perhaps it's in their policies and they already pay a lot more to ensure coverage.


OK. I get it:

UH needs more students in order to gain more tuition money.

UH gives scholarships (which cost UH money) to increase enrollment of people who do not pay tuition.

No wonder why we have problems at UH.


The goals were simply to make Harper look miserly and mean spirited. Now the Liberals look like the incompetent fools that they are.


Any civil liberties class includes Roe. You can't get out of law school, or even a decent American Government program without studying it. As for Roe, you can't count. It has one vote to repeal, two if Gorsuch agrees. Your myth that repeal is possible is fraud or delusion. Read Scalia’s and Thomas’ concurrences in Gonzalez v. Carhart.


In May vote out the corrupt BC Liberals led by real estate industry slave, Christy Clark. Prospective buyers should be boycotting this toxic housing bubble, not seeking to inflate it further by capitulating to rampant greed and manipulation by society's lowest of the low: realtors and the cartels they serve.

The latest bribe by the BC Liberals to ensnare first-time buyers into a lifetime to indentured servitude should be vigorously denounced, but the media is too craven and in thrall to the cartels to tell the truth. At least the article interviewed a couple of experts who warned about this grotesque bait-and-switch being perpetrated on mostly financial illiterate buyers.


Except the rumored TV network is in the works as it has been, and it lays the groundwork to continue Fox in a sharper vein since Fox is becoming more mainstream as time goes by.


Sadly, some people will never be financially stable. Should poor people be banned from procreation? What if you aren't financially stable until you are too old to have children? Not everyone can afford to freeze their embryos. What if you are financially stable, but then lose your job, or get sick, or your spouse dies or leaves? Should your children be taken away from you? Casting that kind of judgement, denying child bearing to those you deem unfit due to economic status (often tied to race, education, etc.) leans dangerously close to eugenics.


What was that some of you say in here? You don't wanna have to pay for those that won't work? You know, the ones who sit around all day and collect that free state money? Those ones?


I would disagree with the Register-Guard even if they made recommendations that agreed completely with my own. I did not disagree with their right to make recommendations, only their self serving interest and lack of objectivity by doing so. I would prefer a newspaper that refrains from being a naked purveyor of influence in their reporting and even opinions, as it undermines my trust in their objectivity. Back in the day when we still went to the polls to vote, I would see people carrying the R-G's recommendations with them, sheep that they were. The R-G does it every election, and not as a service to anyone but themselves because they know many lazy voters will fall for it. If I (or anyone else) were to present them with an op-ed list of my recommendations and ask them to print it in the same edition, do you suppose they would? If not, why not? That's right, it might diminish their own influence, and that matters to them. Shameful journalism.


And again, another brilliantly incorrect assumption about me.


My point is that knee-jerk support for a position is unjustified for anyone who isn't just  bleating with the rest of the sheep.

In this specific instance, fraud in at least two or three Democratically-controlled urban areas is not impossible.

There are few Democratic saints and few Republican saints.

I remember when Nixon was told not to complain about the Democrat's Mayor Daley machine 'voting the graveyards' because an investigation would reveal that the Republicans had 'voted the graveyards' in downstate Illinois during the same election.

"God and all the angels" are with no political party.


Apparently contemptuous condescension was also developed in a publicly funded university setting by someone who was right in the room where several people were making their Nobel prize winning discoveries.


Uhh, you sound so upset and irate, so while he golfing and ignoring PR's suffering, what are you doing about it? Or is it 'other people's' responsibility and yours is just to complain.
Oops, sorry, didn't mean to criticize..just thinking out loud. Sorry...


Well there you go.  Russia committed crimes against our nation and attacked our Democracy, but they've assured Dolt 45 that it won't happen again.  Putin and Donny, two of the world's most honest and trustworthy people.


Do you drink while on the computer.  I am at a loss to explain your comments otherwise.


They would be upholding the law. The U.S. is a safe country and these people entered Canada illegally. Send them back.


Sheri,

Ever noticed all of the large, beautiful trees throughout the City of Eugene as you go about your daily activities?  Many homeowners will not hire a professional arborist to assess the health of the large trees residing on their properties.   Unfortunately for some, they found out that large, beautiful tree near the power line in the back yard wasn't so healthy when this freak ice storm passed through the area and their tree toppled over onto the power line .  In addition to all of the trees, some of the power lines could not handle the extreme weight of the ice and came down.

 Don't blame EWEB crews for your power not being restored yet, they are working their behinds off as fast as they can to get your power back.  Also, in order to work safely, they have to get rest, too; working in freezing temperatures in the middle of the night fatigues the body much faster than working in temperatures normal for this time of year.

 I do hope your power is restored soon,

Gladys


I find it odd that UA would ignore the Capitol Report dated June 12 that states “The second
Language item expressed the House’s intent that any general fund budget reductions or reallocations at the three universities not exceed the percentage of reductions made at statewide administration. This language was adopted by the committee." http://www.legfin.akleg.gov/BudgetReports/LY2017/Operating/CCMotion/ConferenceCommitteeAction6-10.pdf See page 10.

In today's BOR meeting the following was shown to be what UA actually intends to do is to completely ignore the Capitol Report which was adopted by the Operating Budget Conference Committee.  Sounds to me like UA Statewide is on their own program and would rather eliminate or reduce the educational capabilities of UAA, UAF, and UAS instead of reducing their own budget the way the house intended.

(In Millions)
State Allocation $317.0
Program & Service Reductions $6.0 (1)
Statewide $.6
UA Anchorage $2.3
UA Fairbanks $2.7
UA Southeast $.4


If only getting a gun was difficult in this country, live in city housing in Toronto or have contacts it's  not a problem.
59'dead, the bodies are still warm and the swamp is playing politics- truly disgusting.
What ever happened to giving blood to help the injured !!!!
Bunch of  left wing freaks.


Take that to heart next time someone presents you with a video full of purported Hillary Clinton lies or any other slander you may hear from the right wing machine or the Sanders supporters who are having a tough time conceding that their candidate did not win the delegate count or the popular vote this go round Andi.


This new dubious repeal effort of Obamacare is yet another scenario provided by the GOP in their seven-year quest to undo the last president's most notable accomplishment. A health care plan needs to have universal participation in order to spread the financial burden among the widest population of the insured, lowing premium costs for everyone. Up to 16 million Americans could be left without insurance by 2026 under this new Republican scheme. A "skinny" repeal is really a desperate ploy served up by a political party lean on really innovative ideas.


Except...she's not "being investigated" at all.


"Out-of-touch Liberal elites vacation on exotic islands and hide their millions in offshore accounts while hiking taxes"

Ya right, who's gonna buy that?  Obviously fake news, 100%, all the way.


I think that illegal immigrants would be granted a fairer trial if they were incarcerated in their own country by their nation's laws. They shouldn't be allowed to play the race card to get out of trouble when they commit crimes. Our empathy for immigrants often reaches an end when they come here for the sole purpose to "make a better life for themselves" by stealing or otherwise harming legal American citizens and disrespecting our country.


Mr Berkowitz this is just the beginning from what you support and you call it the Boogeyman.


No substantive rejoinder? No surprise there.


Mazie will never concede her seat.  Like D.K. Inouye once said "never become a lame duck". But Chin going back home [mainland] would be a great idea though.


"What is our connection with Nigeria and Yemen"

Belief that all humanity is created equally?  Is that not part of "YOUR" so called "WESTERN VALUES"?
You must believe in some twisted mutant version of "Western Values" not very Canadian.

Take a back seat Haters! See how it feels for most of us Libertarians...Thanks to Sarah for being honest throughout!


Rosicrucians, Illuminati, they’re all in it too

Assuming the Masonic star chamber gave the approval...after reading Nostradamus, of course...


I think you missed both the point and the boat, polar bob.


Has anyone heard of the 4% rule? It says that you can safely withdraw 4% per year without depleting it. So guess what? If the legislature withdraws 5.5% and pays a $1000 dividend they will deplete the fund in less than 30 years. By 2046 the Permanent Fund will be gone! This senate proposal is a bad idea.........Here is my idea for anyone interested - Put ALL STATE REVENUE AND SAVINGS into the Permanent Fund raising the fund to around $70 Billion. Then pay the State 4% of the fund balance every year which would be $2.8 billion based on the current balance as I have laid out. In years when the fund makes more than 6%, after giving the State their 4%, then inflation proof the fund and distribute the remainder of the earnings as a dividend to the citizens. My approach will keep the fund healthy for decades to come. Of course, Alaska citizens will experience the pain of a greatly reduced dividend and the State will have less to spend but in 30 years we will still have a Permanent Fund!


I too puzzle. Hadn't known anything about the "warning system". I may have only noted two posts as "uncivil" - and they really were. It is my suspicion that when our resident fundamentalists happen upon your comments they auto. tag it. There are enough, I suspect, to manage that.
I for one do NOT want you gone, any more than I would a Steven Colbert or John Stuart.
If you are excluded and "they" stay, then CIVIL is not a friend to any of us.


Multiple secular papers have covered it; But the NCRs, Reporter & Register, whom you expect to give coverage,  are largely silent.  Bill Donahue of the Catholic League has brought it to public attention with his claim of fake news; at least he's banging a drum of attention about it.


Hi Anon, I posted about this piece earlier! I find it plausible, so I'd be interested in counterarguments. Zunger's case is built on information in the public domain from credible sources: Reuters, CNN, the Guardian, and so on (but then, that's the stuff of conspiracy theory!). The facts seem pretty stable. That leaves the analysis, which focuses on three elements:

1) the immigration executive order, attributed to Steve Bannon, that created confusion and chaos, sucked up media oxygen, and destabilized checks and balances;

2) the small number of powerbrokers in Trump's inner circle;

3) follow the money.

I'm again reminded, as I've mentioned several times in these threads, of the monumental import in 1933 of the intrigues of a small group of political actors that led to the unlikely installation of Hitler as Chancellor. Before the usual protests arise, I'm not comparing our present situation to the Weimar Republic-Third Reich. The point is: a cabal can change the course of history.


Your understanding of the alt-right is laughable. They don't believe in totalitarianism, they believe in the opposite, a TINY federal government and freedoms for everyone and everything you bilbering idiot. And the talk about the right is fighting the left; idk what to say. Have you seen liberals starting fights and shutting down cities in WA, Cal, OR, TX? O right, I forgot, you're a liberal and don't do research.


If the percentage of white employees in the city workforce is comparable to the percentage in the general population then there isn't a problem. It sounds like more bureaucracy (bloat) to assuage liberal guilt over living in a wealthy, predominately white city (while prattling on about "diversity" and "inclusivity").


If and whenever Alaska Natives want what's already ours, we have to go to court. There's no such thing as 1 team, 1 fight for us.


Trying to put your biases into someone else's mouth only demeans you, not him.


The US has turned a blind eye regarding this problem for decades and then some. Trump is trying to address the issue. You can talk about any link in the process be it the Illegal immigrant, the employer, or the enabler. They will all be affected but perhaps Trump will make a border a border instead of a vague concept.


Hot dog restaurants are about the level for the GTA.


Ashly K. Garcia is right. Fasi was a visionary on rail. He proposed a shorter route but probably knew West Oahu was growing too fast and would soon need rail.  He could extend rail to Ewa later. But by the time rail has been started it actually needed to start from Kapolei.

Doing nothing cost us. That's the nature of investment.


....sounds familiar....

LOL


Of course, there are differences, but are there sufficient similarities to allow a comparison?  Yes.  Lougheed understood the basic concept when he created the Heritage Fund.


Opus Dei is the total opposite of what Pope Francis preaches and stands for. It is about power, money, control, and self righteousness. In no time made its founder a saint and its successor "blessed". Along with the Legionaries of Christ, supporting these two groups were JPII's big mistakes.


I have a sneaky hunch Trump is being set up.  This story came out on a Friday with the World Series happening.  Ten days is a long time in campaignville.  Once Trump sang the praises of the FBI and how things are not so corrupt after all.......was all they needed to hear.  It was like the set up during the debates when Trump was asked about sexually abusive behavior.  The smart guys know not to ask a question unless they already know the answer.


I question the wisdom of the Globe's editorial team with respect to publishing this article.   It violates Mr. Khadr's privacy when he is in a vulnerable state and incites the craziest form of trolling.   300+ comments for this article?   Really.


You know, for the life of me, despite all of the explanations that I get, I just cannot understand the deep-seated problem that these people have with gays.  One would think that greater societal acceptance of the idea of a range of sexual expression would make these guys feel more free.  But it seems to have the opposite effect.  It makes no sense to me at all.


President Trump may be anti-abortion but he is pro Capital Punishment and torture...is that respecting life?


Our government seems to think negotiate = capitulate.  Our leader takes selfies, theirs takes our resources, economy and our future.


What hotel was she found dead in?


Hm, very good point.


No problem the 31% cut to the EPA and their bogus climate program will pay for it with money left over


So......socialism was not ALL bad?  :-)

Go on, outrage manufacturers, make something of this too


Interesting story. Funny how XC skiers like to kick everyone out of every park they use so they can have the trails all to themselves and yet claim to be environmentalists. Then you look at the effort here with helicopters, a groomer, snow machines, housing, etc. Real environmentally friendly and  lowering the carbon footprint of that sport.

The next time some elitist skier complains about the sound of a snow machine they should ask themselves how noisy this arrangement is.


Last nail in the coffin? Canada has made it harder to buy a house at the same time the Chinese get serious about capital flight. This can't end well. The fallout will be worse than housing... even if it just slows. People are so over levered consumer spending will be anemic for years. Sunny days no more.


Perhaps Mr Couillard could ask the premier of Newfoundland when Québec can expect the return of Labrador which was STOLEN from Québec by a foreign nation (England) and given to a foreign nation's colony. All of it/the theft done with the Canadian government's complicity, with the Canadian Army and Navy failing miserably in their primary function; defending the territorial integrity of Canada and the Canadian provinces


Still trolling the account of someone else, I see.


find whoever did this and put a bullet straight in the back of his.. oops i mean find him but make sure he has an attorney and is given a fair and just trial by a jury of his peers.


As an addendum to my above post, in the early 1990's, following the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russian historians, having unprecedented access to the former government's archives, published the Soviet Armed Forces battle plan in the event of war against the NATO forces.  It called for:

1. An "immediate pre-emptive" nuclear strike on all NATO bases in West Germany AND on the six largest cities in West Germany, none of which possessed even nominal military interest.

2. A simultaneous warning to Great Britain and France that their homelands would be spared an nuclear attack only if they were to "stand down" their own nuclear forces.

3. A warning to the United States and all NATO forces that the "limited nuclear phase" had ended, that the "non-nuclear phase" was still in force, and that "nuclear retaliation" on the part of NATO would lead to "generalized nuclear war".

With the "putinization" of the Russian Federation, said archives are no longer available.


I'm betting on the women, collectively, to vote for Clinton.  They are the majority of registered voters. They have voted in greater absolute numbers than males in all recent presidential elections.

Women are the one sub-group who, all by themselves, can control who is elected. If they do, then the issues of  reproductive health choices, unwelcome sexual advances, equal pay, and spousal abuse will be well on the way to being dealt with.


At the rate that the Conservatives and NDP are sinking deeper into irrelevance, Trudeau now looks a shoo-in for 2023 as well as 2019.


Sarcasm isn't a logical fallacy; I've not satirized your person. However, you trying to smear me as being a narcissist bent on impressing people (the whole "I'm sure that you are proud that you are the smartest person you ever did meet") in order to dismiss my direct responses to your questions and comments about eminent domain and Aurora's behavior is yet another one of your ad hominem attacks, like the "crybaby" one you attempted earlier.

Anyway, thanks for the logical fallacy refresher and for the banter. If you see me in Aurora formerly Turkmenistan once we get there, I'll buy you a beer. I'll be the person obsessively gazing in the mirror with a proud, impressed look on his face yet oddly crying at the same time.


Better talent in the starting rotation and the bullpen is obviously the biggest factor in the 2017 team's performance. But I also think it's evident that managers matter more than many baseball fans like to acknowledge. The team is playing with much more confidence this year - as if they're actually supposed to compete for the NL West title instead of just being a sideshow for the Dodgers and Giants.


The good news is, no one believes the CIA anymore.


It can't possibly be related in any way to the illegals living in the state.


Anyone who hunts grizzly bears for the trophy is not a complete human being but some kind of subhuman excrescence that gets a thrill from killing not for a purpose but for its own sake.

Let's ban this barbaric practice for good.


Mr. Trump can do nothing to bring back those jobs. Unfortunately there are going to be victims as manufacturing shifts away from established local industries. These people shouldn't be left for the scrap heap when billions of tax dollars can be wrung out of the financial industry to provide re-training and guaranteed income. There has to be a leveling out of the wealth generated in segments of the economy that are doing well to support those being left behind. If things get too unbalanced can anarchy be far away?


Why is any country staying in a structure as vile, harmful, hypocritical, authoritarian and corrupt as the EU?


What a pitiful, plaintive commentary on a once proud profession.
One wonders what children learn from this charade.
Taxpayers learn (again) that education-industry officials and union counterparts are far more interested in getting money than in educating students.
Taxpayers may have to learn how to fight back through disenrollments, property-tax strikes, picketing, information campaigns until a forensic audit of school-district finances and management practices is commissioned.
Teachers may have to help by blowing the whistle on every bit of fraud, waste, and mismanagement they can document.
Anchorage's education-industry problem can be fixed, but it --will not-- be fixed by pouring more money over troubled waters or by trusting the present management-union-school board cabal to make things right.
What say you, Gentle Readers?


So ... when are men going to stop wantonly impregnating women, and start insisting they get to marry a woman before having sex?  And when are men going to start insist on sticking to only one woman and refuse to be dragged into back allies and ravished by all these sex slave fems?  When are men going to stop treating women like sex objects


"Everything" fit into the taxes when I was younger. It seemed to be an objective in those days. Now, our fiscal policy "saves the world from financial meltdown", so the directors of it are afraid to do what is right, all while skimming their own from the top. And the bottom. And in all places in between. For themselves, and, (choke), certain others.
When I was younger parks didn't need to be maintained. It was the strangest "hike" I ever hiked to walk on wooden planks for the 3 miles at La Push. Novel, but why? The ground below was fine.
But then there weren't disposable diapers then either (a metaphor).


KS also has a decades long history of opposing everything and anything to do with gender orientation equality.

From a 2008 G&M article, she is on  record as opposing the use of books in schools portraying gay couples,  and she advocates a declaration of rights that students not be taught that homosexuality is normal.

I am proud of my kids accepting attitudes, and that they are easily able to see through ignorance. One of their friends was disowned by his mother when he came out as gay, and that lesson in injustice did more than anything else to impress upon them fairness, tolerance, and compassion.

Stand your ground in Langley.


What is it that prevents you from comprehending that the officer's DNA was left on the revolver when he removed it from where the heroin dealer placed it and unloaded it?  Are you simply ignorant of the multitude of ways DNA is transferred from a person or does your agenda prevent you from being able to reason?


Agree. No sympathy for Russia.


This gray area is my point. I do not think you "jut ask" as somebody has said in response to one of my posts. And I'm no Trump either (despite my first name). I like and respect women. Sometimes you're not sure about her wishes, but are sure about yours, so you try some sort of overture. If it fails, you've got to drop it, but unless you're unnaturally aggressive, the overture ought not in itself to be sexual assault.


They were called the tar sands by everyone until Madison Avenue was brought in to sell them (with their massive pollution and dislocation of the Canadian economy) with a renaming strategy.


Lol. What utter nonsense.


So what you are really saying is that the American school system has failed.  The high tech companies can't hire Americans?


I call BS Tony,
The raised growth forecasts from the European Union have helped sentiment, but it is the return of the Trump bounce following a lull which is pushing markets higher again. The president’s positive meeting with Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe has helped the upbeat mood, while mining shares are benefiting from the prospect of Trump’s infrastructure plans.


you still did not read the article...your responses are becoming nonsensical...you are losing it dude.


Yup. Denver Post figures if you do not qualify for subsidy then you can afford to be gouged.


Al Gore also won the popular vote so that is twice in just 16 years that the EC has saved this nation. OR? Were you suggesting we should change the way we pick our president?


but it wasn't at an elementary school, or a church, or a private resort.  It was in a public setting, which, be definition, means an open forum.  She wasn't trespassing or uninvited.  Maybe it wasn't the most ideal of settings but did they mayor avoid her prior to this?

We see too many politicians these days who avoid conflict because they support policies which are not at favor with their constituents.  While her actions may have not been welcome by those who wished to watch the pageantry of Lei Day, the real issue is whether her actions truly & legally amounted to disorderly conduct.


Hi Mike, like you I also pity them who can't think for themselves. Unfortunately your latest post is right out of the GOP playbook we both have. Thinking and repeating aren't the same thing even if you want it to be.


Much better to turn baggage claims into shooting galleries than to inconvenience you.....


OMG! Gang of IDIOT DEPLORABLES.
Why am I surprised.......


If more politicians and Canadian people come out to denounce The Rebel and specifically how that activist group pretending to be journalists, covered the  Charlottesville debacle - we will at least have one positive story to tell from it.


If I recall, the Republicans had little if anything to say in the ACA bill. Didn't they get a copy of the 1000+ page bill a day of so before the congressional vote?

In looking at the actual bill, there is so much referencing to other laws,  regulations, etc., that it's easy to see the bill was  long in the back room before it was rolled out to the light.

Wasn't the house speaker in such a hurry, she make her famous quote about having to pass the bill to see how it worked?


Oh my gosh...just how many Pizza places are here already????? Guessing we all love our Pizzas  and have our favorites...What are yours???


Well, since everyone knows all employers are only driven by greed and hate for the poor, they will have one employee go on part time and only called in to work during the busy shifts.  Or put all three on part time and no  benefits and shuffle them.  Or just  charge more for the hamburgers.   Or they might do both.


Well said Renzetti!
Can't help comparing what is happening now to what happened at the birth of Christianity. When Jesus was about to be crucified all his male disciples, tail between their legs, denied knowing him and fell in line with the alpha male at that time- the roman empire. It was the women who had the courage and guts to stand up for what they believed and stay by his side during the crucifixion.

Gotta get one of your coven mugs :)
-another "Sister from the North"


He will never represent my views and for that I am extremely grateful. I would hate to think of the kind of person I would have to be to have Donald J Trump  represent my vies of others and the world. I prefer Jesus Christ.
I only hope the republicans put country before party and vote to impeach him if necessary.
His lack of ethics, morality, humility and his connections with Russia scare the hell out of me.

Not sure what I can't "grasp" according to you. I see republicans and Trump repealing ACA and leaving millions without insurance, changing education fundamentally, destroying Medicare and Social Security as we know it.
He is there to enrich himself and his wealthy friends, that is what he does and he has left plenty of evidence over the years  if one cares to see it.


Assimilation? Yeah, we have noticed that Conservatives best function 'as a gang."


That certainly isn't working well in D.C., but, yes, your point is important.


That darn Henry Ford and his dastardly assembly line!  Look what he started.


Rick, the transit system costs $11.00 a day to take, wake the heck up.


AGAIN how the hell is a Province that can invest 1.3 BILLION into a private company a "have not" province?   This BS has got to stop.......it is criminal.


Yes, you should try it!
I saw nothing and heard nothing to indicate that the Republicans had something to offer.
The ACA was destructive and failed to do what Obama and Nancy P. assured the population it was going to do and not do.
The lies and myths, what Obama and Nancy told us, are good examples of dishonesty.
I also listened over and over again to Republicans telling us they could do better, telling us they would get rid of ACA.
Those were lies and myths too.
That is my opinion and you have your opinion and is all they are, opinions.
I watched most of the voting and debates eight plus years ago just like I watched it this time as well. I based my opinion on what I saw and heard not what I was spoon-fed by the media.


What is the difference between the two state option and the current situation? Israel would still be surrounded by its enemies. Israelis and Arabs/Muslims would live in violence.

What is the difference between Israel being built on a strip of sand starting in 1947 and Israel being built on 1/48th of Texas starting in 2017? Israelis would be surrounded by friends. Arabs/Muslims would be living among friends. The $38 billion scheduled for arms could be used to help finance the move.

Arabs/Muslims and Israelis would be living in peace.


"Confusing? Not really. Such is the basic double standard that is the essence of propaganda. I am referring, of course, to the current siege of the city of Mosul by the government forces of Iraq, who are backed by the United States and Britain and to the siege of Aleppo by the government forces of Syria, backed by Russia. One is good; the other is bad."

Playing politics with the grieving mother of a fallen soldier makes you proud? Baseless attacks on a woman who for decades before she entered politics was a close friend of the family of the fallen soldier makes you proud?


Ahhh - the ole catch and release fishery on the Seward highway!  So enjoyable - but ya can't use treble hooks.


Oh, for crying out loud!

 A 14-year-old could have hacked Podesta, because it wasn't really a hack, but a phishing scam. A 14-year-old couldn't have hacked DNC, which is a completely different beast.

 Why nobody highlighted this? The whole hacking thing is rapidly morphing into something that it isn't, and both sides are not helping!


If he had (or does, after Trump takes office) release truthful information which puts Trump in a bad light, he will become a hero to the Dems and anathema to the Repubs once again!


seriously funny.  America needs more of a family that is corrupt, political animals, who will do whatever it takes for personal gain, at the expense of anyone else?  That is what America needs?    Ok, don't give me , "well, now you've got Trump, see??"  That is not an argument. There are good people out there.  The problem is, the likes of Clinton, Trump, etc. will destroy good people because politics is a game now.  It doesn't matter on policy, what matters is "my team won".  Same in Canada. Is Trudeau, whose ONLY claim to fame is his father was PM actually qualified to lead a nation. No, he was elected because he looked and acted nice.  AND because political machines were at work, to ensure "their guy" got in.  He's in, now THEY benefit.  We need LESS Clintons and there ilk (ON BOTH SIDES).


Trump is a classless buffoon with no leadership skills.
He keeps dumping on soldiers and his clueless followers cheer him.


seems pricey for a guy who gets about 0.6 ppg


You jumped in on a reply to a post that teachers were ‘living in poverty’  with this gem.

“So as long as experienced teachers with masters degrees and national board certifications fall above the poverty line - you think they're being paid a fair wage?”

That certainly implies to any reader that you agreed with the original posters contention that teachers live in poverty.

I think the teachers salary schedule should be looked at but the teachers union and a VERY large group of teachers insist on being treated like unskilled labor where they all get a step increase or no one does.   If teachers were evaluated on their merit and paid based on their evaluations like Douglas County implemented great teachers could be at the cap of the salary schedule in 10 years rather than 30.   They could be at the mid point in 3 not 12.


You can see a laundry list of ADN's biggest troglodytes by hovering over the star next to Richard Corbeil's comments.


Mr. Reeves, Cancer?  This is a list of the American Cancer Society's known and probable cancer causers.  Fluoride is not on the list https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancer-causes/general-info/known-and-probable-human-carcinogens.html

So we know that part of your comment is blatantly false.  Beyond that, please cite one documented case of any human being who has ever suffered any physical harm by drinking optimally  fluoridated water . . even for as much as a lifetime.

I would also be interested in seeing a reference to the lawsuit that would have naturally  followed from a citizen who was intentionally poisoned by his or her local government, and physically damaged in some way.

(btw, In the U.S. more people enjoy the health benefits of optimally fluoridated water than any other place on the planet.  There are also more lawsuits than anywhere else in the world.  McDonald's was successfully sued because its coffee was too hot!  Show me the lawsuit of harm from fluoridated water.)


My view is that the bi-national dispute panels should not only be preserved, their mandate should be expanded. At present, the dispute panels only hear appeals from domestic tribunals. They should have original jurisdiction, entirely displacing domestic trade tribunals.

I note that our government is too polite to say that neither Canadians nor Mexicans can count on getting a fair hearing in US tribunals, which are extremely biased in favour of Americans.


Where they all government jobs? News reports on CTV's Power Play said to run PM Trudeau's office alone is 2.5 times higher then what it cost to Run PM Harpers office. I think you can probably extrapolate these type of increased costs through the whole government sector. Numbers can be deceiving.


And by the developers, union bosses and rail contractors that OWN him.


Still no word on whether Tag is trying to hire Steve Greatwood or not.  I would think he would be a good fit.


Congress to Trump: Please send us all documents relating to Michael Flynn's hiring, activities and possible connections with Russia.

Trump to Congress: Hey, here is a HUUUGE new Tax Plan me and a couple of  buddies whipped up just this week!

Stephen J. Remington


As usual, Dick, you, place this out of context.  The USSR was being defeated in part to the arming of Afghan tribal forces willing to take the fight to them.  bin laden was on the receiving end of this support.  bin laden went off the rails when the Americans established a base in Saudi Arabia within proximity to Islamic holy shrines, or that was the excuse he used to begin his reign of terror.


If you think our P*ss*y Grabber in Chief is interested in preventing honor killings, I have some beach-front property in Montana you might want to buy.


Looks like we're going to see some climate "skeptics" demonstrate they don't believe in water pollution and non-GHG forms of air pollution either.


So when was slavery "always" a sin?


"I wish somebody would grab his phone. But it seems to take the press' mind off what he's really doing."
That pretty much says it all.


We should be worrying in Canada at the decline in freedom of speech and debate in politics  ( immigration, values and even housing crises, aboriginal affairs, health care etc  without labels being hurled by the left at those with opposing views- this leads to a decline in civil debate and leads directly to the rise of leaders like Trump) and also in our universities where differing views and ideas should be freely expressed without certain groups crying they have been offended to shut down legitimate debate and discussion- this is insidious censorship.

We should also worry about the decline in investigative journalism- why did it need the Globe and Mail to shine the light on the unsavoury aspects of the Vancouver Housing crisis while our politicians played deaf , dumb and blind. Another example is the Liberal funds for access to Ministers scandal- well done Globe and Mail in being the last newspaper standing funding investigative journalism.


Seriously, I ask for scientific evidence of your claim and you provide this article which starts out with an update that calls the claim suspect? It is time for me to end my discussions on this site.  It is not good for me spiritually.  Good Day,  Mike Eberl


Small minded of you...


How about we send you back to school and learn some simple numbers. How many white people have given up their lives for you to enjoy what freedom you have left. Let's see we will need the casualty list from the Revolutionary War, The War of 1812, The Civil War, The Alamo, WW1, WW2, Vietnam War, and the Korean War. Now kindly add up all the white people from every war that died for you... How many??? 1 million, 20 million? 100 million? Damn sure more than a 1000 black lives supporters.


One minor correction, ENSTAR is now owned by AltaGas, a Canadian company, which was represented by Enron's former FERC defense attorney when it got those "Cook Inlet Renaissance" incentives passed in the legislature.


Clearly the Denver Post is a liberal rag I wouldn't deem good enough for the radioactive trout I pull from the S. Platte. Do you have no shame DP? How dare you tell us the President is lying liar who can't stop lying.


Well, that's one week under his belt.  Call senators Murkowski and Sullivan.  Call Rep. Young.  It really does make a difference.  And, while we're not quite there yet, research the 25th amendment.  It appears this man may be unfit to hold the office of President.


Drugs are the root of most theft.


No there isn't. Do you still believe Iraq had WMD? Where did you hear that from? We, the people, don't need your 'opinion' about who tells the truth, and who doesn't.


Proof, please. Simply saying so doesn't make it true.


Wow, you have really suffered.  Mind telling details about how liberals have oppressed you?  I sure you have some awful examples.  But I doubt you've read any Ken Kesey.


Was his job to promote his views on diversity?

Unless his job was to create memo's like this - he deserved to be fired.


You mean the guy, who is "beloved" by the Bank of England ?   ;)


Preet's bio on Wikipedia has an excellent summary of his many accomplishments. My favorite is the conviction he got on the once powerful NY State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver for public corruption.


I voted Trump, but as long as the protests are non-violent and do not disrupt business all power to them. This is their right and privilege to protest. They really aren't doing anything wrong in a legal sense. It's completely ok to protest a fair election, just as it's completely ok for anyone to criticize them for doing so. My family immigrated from the USSR, people truly do not understand what a great country America is. It's not too long ago my parents were afraid to even say "I dislike the Soviet Union" for fear of being kidnapped by the secret police and forced into slave labor, or even death. Trump isn't going to make America great, because it already is.


Ah, well, I am a great and sublime fool. But then I am God's fool, and all His works must be contemplated with respect.

MARK TWAIN, letter to W. D. Howells, 1877


YOU must be one of those "weeds" Maggie Sanger was talking about...... Mule wipe!


I didn't know that Rachel Notley was somehow responsible for the low price of oil that has caused Alberta job losses. I would also suggest that people working for minimum wage are not against a raise. Furthermore, if anyone wants a new pipeline to export more Alberta crude and create some jobs they had better get used to the idea of a carbon tax to make the pipeline politically viable. Two pipelines have now been approved to export oil through BC. This is something the PC's failed to do during their tenure so they don't have a leg to stand on.


All Canadians are able to attend yes if you register your spot in time

And as per the previous article, 100% of the cost is paid by corporate sponsors, not taxpayers.


I don't disagree that drivers are at fault in a majority but your statement that pedestrians use the streets by right and drivers by privilege is ridiculous.

Roads were built for vehicles, not pedestrians.

Certainly pedestrians need training.  Constantly telling them they have the right of way and they're entitled gives them the idea they no longer need to keep an eye on their surroundings.

Right of way is correct but assuming all will honor it is asking for trouble.


The vitriol against Hillary ought to be difficult to explain, but it isn't. It is yet another proof of the bloody effectiveness of negative advertising. Madison Avenue taught us how to persuade people to buy stuff, and the politicians have proved that it is just as easy to sell us a huge wad of slander.


Not necessarily.  Some places make it a practice not settle to discourage lawsuits. The State of Alaska operates that way. Merit doesn't matter.


Medicare is a single payer system, and it's VERY popular with seniors.

A single payer is unpopular with insurance companies, because it threatens their profits. They contribute big buck to the politicians in DC, to prevent one from being enacted. They brainwash voters with scare stories about health care rationing, when we already have health care rationing based on ability to pay.


Making a brave statement with no repercussions since the writer is not  to seeking re-election.


Largo Wales does not "trust" Sound Transit at all. If you watch the most recent city council meeting she says this multiple times. I have to wonder, by her making it so very clear that she doesn't trust them, will we ever get the parking garage with her being mayor? I think not.


Or is it, as long as he is a D we could care less what he is for or against.


He tried, but ran out of time (the CBC and every assorted public-service trough feeder put up enough "resistance" to their long-overdue haircuts) that and his Nixonian personality and governance style didn't help.  Hope we're all enjoying these sunny days.


Besides not ever being allowed to fly again I would pressure the NTSB to file charges against him for filing false crash reports and charge him with manslaughter for the death of his passenger.
This is beyond pilot error. Being overweight and flying a Ryan Navion, which is a low wing aircraft with poor visibility for "sightseeing" shows me that it wasn't about a safe and fun flight seeing trip as it was ripping off someone and not caring even about their safety or lives. Don't ever let him fly again.


Where are all the 2nd Amendment people now, screaming about gun confiscation?  I suspect that holding two thoughts at the same time, denial of gun rights and use of a DEA schedule I drug, caused brain freeze.  In my opinion persons caught using cell phones while driving are at least as great a threat to life and limb, since cars kill about the same number of people every year as guns do.  Oh that's right, cars don't kill people, people kill people.

The problem here is that our federal government still considers possession or use of marijuana to be a felony.  So we are still putting people in jail for smoking a weed that has never been shown to cause much, if any, harm.  In addition, our federal government is making it impossible to do good research on any medicinal properties marijuana and its complex of cannabinoid chemicals might possess.  This is government stupidity and the law is a type of donkey.  Does no one in Congress or the Administration have the simple courage to fix this?


I worked for years near College and University and regularly saw what I described. Do I believe my own eyes or should I believe you, Darren X2?


They need to stay out of the street when we need to drive through town. When actually stepping into traffic, shouting; they should each be cited for being a hazard to traffic.


"Gay said he stuck his head around the corner and saw a slender man in a blue track suit running southbound on West Street holding a gun."
That was the truck driver with guns, so it negates the possibility that this was an accident due to medical condition.


No complaints about he purchase price of a house. Pre-existing noise, military aircraft been flying years sharpening aircrew skills, moved in knowing this and now complaining.  Please move elsewhere.  Thank a soldier and sailor on your way out of town for giving you the freedom of choice.


Seeking information is not collusion. Fishing is not collusion, either.


We all do to varying degrees.  But when one wishes to establish objective FACT to the degree humanly possible, it's necessary to evaluate processes/characteristics relative to same as OBJECTIVELY as possible.  As a prominent biologists (whose name, unfortunately, has escaped me over the years) once said, "Anyone incapable of saying 'I don't know', or 'I was wrong' is incapable of doing science."  Guess that leaves you out.

As for "civility", I've offered to engage in mutually respectful dialogue with you.  More than once.  You have consistently refused.


This is why I come to NCR.   Classy, thought-provoking articles, written with a warm and charitable Christian tone.  "Bromance".  Lovely.

I don't expect the reading fare to really be that taxing intellectually, a spiritual uplifting either, given the writers assembled and the editorial agenda,

...but the tone makes the absence of these other things worth it, yes?

No jabbing.

No biting.

A bit unpredictable in perspective, yes?


Why do I get the impression that Canadian Politicians get a free pass to lie???
If we had similar rules of procedure as the US, we would watching a long line of Liberals getting grilled in a congressional hearing rather than Jeff Sessions.


I agree wholeheartedly.  It has gotten out of hand and people have gone rabid over a hunk of metal. Their fear is palpable. They almost want to start something, just to prove their wretched reasoning. How different are our mass murderers than the Middle East's suicide bombers? In name only.


The editors were probably too busy carrying on Aile's legacy of harassing and abusing their co-workers.


Dan Marino, Terry Bradshaw and Jim Kelly all scored 15.


Do you really think that is how it works? More people (competing for the limited amount of affordable housing) = more affordability?  What are you smoking Jomo?


Well, he said it. Even if he went into Time Square and started shooting people and you saw the video you would make excuses for it. I take that back - even if you witnessed it first hand you would ask what they did to provoke it.


Someday this-what a person's religion is, what they choose to wear- will not be a topic of discussion. We are working towards it,slowly but surely.


True.  Most scientific literature I've seen that is intended for the lay reader calls them "genetic anomalies".


There is a high probability that in the near future those dazzling petro-emporiums in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Doha and even Riyad itself will become the Gulf versions of Mosul and Aleppo.


And the point is neither have you, and that is what hurts. Trump is step by step dismantling the Obama legacy and doing every thing he can to fulfill his campaign promises.


The Libs should show clear leadership and sign on to the missile shield program for the good of the country. In fact this should be a bipartisan effort. The Martin Liberals erred in 2005 to say no to the plan. Its only fitting that they own up to it, and fix the mistake.


"Ross added that OPEC would target an oil price of $60 per barrel as anything above that could encourage rival production."

Rival production means fracking.  It's fracking that's decimated our economy up here.  That's what disruptive technologies do.  Someone always loses.


I'm not sure where your concern that I believe the military starts wars came from. I whole-heartedly believe that wars and conflicts are political and that's the essence of the problem. We are absolutely on the same side there. As for more on benefits please see my rely to Jeffrey.

If by chance you have never worked with a severely emotionally disturbed, predatory, and/or brain damaged child or adult-I assure you that my life has been at risk. It comes with the territory, yes my choice-however I did the field to work with, not dominate, those needing assistance.

We learn by talking things through, thanks for your views.


What a gong show.    Why have these ethics probes if in the end nobody knows what to do?   The guy should have been shown the door long ago.    The process is a disgrace.     And a two week break in March?    Do any of these people actually work?    He was married and had time to seduce a 16 year old.....makes one wonder.


The Vatican probably loathes their presence there and views them as an American fifth column inasmuch as Mormonism is strictly one of those entrepreneurial religions that spring up like weeds in the USA. From what I've read of it,admittedly not much, one can have serious doubts that they are even a Christian religion. I once had a client who was a Mormon, from the Ukraine no less, and he was decidedly odd. It takes all.kinds, I suppose, but I will have nothing to do with them.


If they managed the Sahara , they'd  run out of sand.

2. Even if it did apply, the law is unambiguously clear that airlines have to give preference to everyone with reserved confirmed seats when choosing to involuntarily deny boarding. They have to always choose the solution that will affect the least amount of reserved confirmed seats. This rule is straightforward, and United makes very clear in their own contract of carriage that employees of their own or of other carriers may be denied boarding without compensation because they do not have reserved confirmed seats. On its face, it’s clear that what they did was illegal—they gave preference to their employees over people who had reserved confirmed seats, in violation of 14 CFR 250.2a.


Congress has known about this for years, it proves the government cannot be mommy and daddy.. Along with that but we allow china to build one type of transformer that takes 8 months to make.. Why do we permit a foreign country to do that???????

Yeah, except the Democrats have had the last 8 years to do something about these ills yet their failure has resulted in a Trump election.  Explain that.


Part of the difference in price from 5 years ago to current is the return of capital.  There is the yield component, but on top of that, laddered funds are returning some of your capital over time.  If you bought the fund 5 years ago, I guarantee you that your Adjusted Cost Base is less than $20.
If you are worried about price declines as interest rates increase, buy actual bonds. If you don't have the capital or interest in doing so, stick with a laddered corporate bond.
There are lower cost alternatives to CBO, but I still hold some of this.

Barrie - perhaps you could phone up the politicians and ask why they started negotiating in secret when taxpayers were outraged at Ken King's original NEXT proposal? Why they aren't giving taxpayers a say or choice on the arena, the Olympics, etc.? One Councillor had the temerity to say that taxpayers elected him to make the tough decisions - not true, taxpayers elect them to make the easy day-to-day decisions and expect to be consulted on the big decisions. Ask Calgarians how they feel about their property taxes having gone up 50% over recent years during bleak economic times.


I've never mentioned my biggest struggle.

Scripture and the saints tell us that it is pride.

I think most people find that when they aim to belittle this or that particular person, they themselves feel a tiny bit of elation, and then sadness.


Statistics and solid evidence is not something the left believes in. They go by touchy-feely emotions.


Do you ever understand the crux of the matter? Show us a citation where someone is saying there's no difference between a loud mouth and bomb.


I just spent 45 minutes talking to Andy Baker about this.  I have been down below, in that gully, several times.  If memory serves, there was *another* burn barrel down there, and a place where it looked like people had camped.  It was close to the water.  I assumed it had been used by a trail crew.  Right at that spot was a "private property" sign.  Did the fire start on private property?  Mr. McDonald gave me the impression the fire started miles away from there. //  This is starting to get frustrating.  I think perhaps you could do a follow-up piece, Mr. Wohlforth, and just lay out some facts.  How can we avoid similar events in the future if we don't even know how this one happened?


Amnesia? "I won" was Obama's explanation for not working with the Republicans in 2009 and then, for the rest of his presidency, complaining about the Republican obstructionism. As for the press conference itself, it was informative, entertaining  and classic Trump, in all respects.


We need more snow Cleaning Vehicles, we no need more cops we can take care from the bad guy's.


DOT Harbors say they are unsure they can accommodate a new shipper, but the fact is, the same amount of cargo is being brought into Honolulu; it will just be divided among more carriers. DOT's reply begs the question about their [in]ability to objectively evaluate and support port interests, or more importantly, their allegiances to existing shippers. Why again are they fronting $850M for a new container terminal? (Reposted from https://www.facebook.com/Port-of-Hawaii-Friends-of)


Should be a great game.  As a CSU Alumn it was exciting to see CU do so well last year.  This may finally be the year that both schools have great years - it has been a while.  Unfortunately for the Buff fans out there the Rams will take this one since they have a game (and a "W" under their belt already).  Should help the Rams get into a bowl eligible school in the near future if they have a great season - now that they have the stadium.  How about a good clean game with no injuries and no drunken brawls.  No teargas.


Depressing darkness, freezing cold (have to actually plug your car in), when summer finally comes for a quick 2 months you get molested by mosquitoes.

But yeah, other than that I did enjoy growing up there.  I'll still take SoCal any day for the year round 60's and 70's, beaches, mountains, best restaurants, etc.


31% increase of the past superintendent. No cash shortage in ASD.


The comment about genocide caught my attention. Is there any proof of this? Are they referring to the time when Algonquins asked Samuel de Champlain to use his guns on the Iroquois? If so then Canadian natives are also guilty as they forced the hands of the white men.
  Trudeau says its okay not to celebrate Canada's 150th but I don't agree. If you are Canadian you should take part. Are they part of Canada or not?


This loophole disappeared years ago.  If you give children shares, any money they receive via dividends can only end up in a trust now.


I see. Thank you for taking the time to respond.
