Well, it's not always fair but often justice is meted out to those who can be got. I have no problem in principle with prosecuting Cheney and Bush. Go get 'em. However, it seems more likely that in the class of mass-murdering swine, Assad is probably the one who could be caught and made an example of.


The information is out there if you look for it. Basically Rohingya militants (terrorists) have been attacking Myanmar authorities and killing their police and military in co-ordinated attacks. In retaliation the Myanmar military are raiding their villages to kill the terrorists they are harboring. The terrorists then burn down parts of the village and blame Myanmar  military to gain sympathy. It's similar to what is going on all over Europe (Islamic terrorist groups attack police causing police to raid Muslim neighborhoods)


I would hope that Calgary doesn't get the Olympics.  Then not get World Cup either.  Makes me laugh, both organizations corrupt, but most important thing, is that, as a Canadian, I want tax dollars spent for things Canadians need such as improved infrastructure.


Almost everything you just rehashed is not true , the usual biased one sided nonsense to fuel your ignorant readers daily need of extreme Liberalism. ( peaceful counter protesters ??? They were actually violent criminals and Trump called out the BS journalists and spoke the truth, a truth that doesn't fit in the heads of Liberals) You and your crew of non stop attack Trump fake news robots also said he had no chance of winning the election. He's not going anywhere for 7.5 years sweetheart. Isn't this a Canadian rag ? How about some coverage of your disaster of a child leader ? You know, the guy who invited the criminals of the entire world to set up in Canada. " Diversity is out Strength ! " That's what Germany, Italy, Spain and England used to say. You know what they say now ? : " Help ! Please help us ! My country is gone ! " That is real. Anyone with the means is scrambling to get out.


This appears to be the deceased driver's 2nd recorded offense.  Are you satisfied as to his penalty?


No I didn't and you lied to say that I had posted it more than once in this article of the topic. Do not even dare tell me what to do or what I can say. Your audacity to even suggest that you can is beyond pathetic, petty and unworthy of respect. You are a scam artist and you have the choice to skip over my posts.

Trying to control the message will only make it backfire ten-fold on you.


Hey Nick, better get some Valium, it's gonna be a long eight-years for ya there boy.


I liked him too. He was an engaging and charasmitic man. But he was determined to dismantle Canada, my country, to create his own, Quebec. So to me, he may have been a great Quebecois but, but not a Canadian at all, let alone a great one.


With tax payers giving the CBC $1.7 billion dollars a year, so Mary Barton can interview herself everyday, you can see why other media outlets are in trouble.


Twenty per cent of income in Alaska is earned by people residing out of state. It is a stretch to say we recover anything from seasonal workers, fishery workers and north slope workers. These people are taking our resources and not leaving anything. Sales taxes are regressive no matter what exemptions you may have. BTW the Cato Institute is funded by the wealthy, Ms Bell's benefactors have no interest in low income earners, or subsistence residents.


I knew this a year ago ...


Pervert?  Really?  Very fair of you, don't you think?  Glad I'm not a snowflake or I might demand civil comments...  No, I said it is for believers.  You are a believer, so it applies to you.  (You love to play games, but you are more of a believer than you think.)  You are right about one thing, Matthew 25:31-46 is the only part of chapter 25 that isn't a parable.  But we have to take the Gospels as a whole, and some parts can't be a command to the whole world and others a command to His disciples.  But what confuses me the most is your insistence that we are a secular society but you want us to act according to a biblical mandate.  And no, we as a society do not, ever, never, at no time, need to act kind because of a DEMAND.  You would be the first to scream to high heaven if a demand to act was placed on you.  So quit being a hypocrite and just debate the issue on the merits of your argument and quit speaking for others.


@jimetjules... exactly what is the purpose of your response.  As you can see from the reactions, perhaps you should keep your comments to yourself.


Trudeau Jr. should move Ottawa back to Canada and start doing what is best for the people who elected him. With Mulroney constantly telling him what to do globalism is destroying us from within.


Most would agree? Like them?

"Black-clad anarchists on Sunday stormed into what had been a largely peaceful Berkeley protest against hate and attacked at least five people, including the leader of a politically conservative group who canceled an event a day earlier in San Francisco amid fears of violence."

Beyond deplorable.

You suspect wrong. It had to do with ensuring cheering supporters as part of the negotiation with the Trump administration to bring him to Poland.


No regular citizen would be able to get a building permit by July 15th.


Nice story, nice family.  Puts the lie to the bizarre notions so many people have about each man being an island unto himself without community ties or obligations, the kind of notions that leave untold thousands of kids behind, necessitating government attempts to help, somehow, someway because there aren't enough families with the resources and/or heart to help.  I'm sure I'll get vehement responses about this being a private family doing good work by their choice and not an incompetent waste of money stolen from unwilling taxpayers.
I'm glad there are families out there with the ability and willingness to do as the Simpsons do.  We need more of them, sadly.  Still if we had a just and competently managed economic system which operates for the benefit of all participants we wouldn't have so many kids in such dire need in the first place.


The fact that the poplular vote was not in his favor has no bearing on anything.  That is not how the President gets elected.  So it means zero.


I have a question for Patty Murray, are you ready to vote for any legislation proposed by the Republican majority and/or for any judicial or Executive Branch political nominee? I thought so...bipartisanship for Dummycrats only works in one direction...


The Ministry is correct in enforcing such a regulation. Every child should be safely supervised. No difference from way back when to now. Parents unwilling or incapable of providing this should run the risk of it becoming public record. This would allow for the Ministry to take appropriate action in the aid of a child's welfare more quickly.
The author of this sad missive trots out visions of overbearing busybodies and scaredy cats, freak outs replete with administrative nose pokers, & anonymous
public morals keepers. Mr. Crook is characterized as a thoroughly modern parent
tracking his children,brimming with maturity and wherewithall, packing emergency cell phones all the while marching towards greater independence.. Free range parenting at it's best... In opposition to this you allude to the modern overprotective helicopter parent as infantilizing and smothering paranoids all in cahoots with well meaning authorities who appear as narrow minded twits setting terrible precedent.


And people seem 'surprised' when they hear that Alaska's political system is the most 'corrupt' in the country.....


It's unfair to make "traditionalists" a monolith.  To paraphrase Scalia, "I'm a faithful Catholic and a traditionalist, not a kook," meaning that it is not "traditionalists" seeking to damn people, only some who read selectively, just as it is not, I think, the position of "progressives" that there will be apokatastasis, or Universal Restoration but, again, only those who engage picking-and-choosing whom to read and what to quote.


I shall claim mine own soul over mine own brain anyday, Hire.

I have major problems with both of them.

Trump is a blowhard, misguided, leaning towards an uninformed and reactionary moron.

He is the champion of chosen ignorance, though to be honest, and he is honest, no matter how misguided, he speaks his own mind, and thought process, most often without any filters that should exist.

Clinton is much, much worse.

Why?

Because whilst Trump is a narcissistic blowhard that does not know when to keep his own mouth shut, and is a reactionary moron, at least he is honest within his own thought process, however wrong it may be.

Hillary, upon the other hand, is a calculating, pandering, and sociopathic entity, whereas she cares for no other individual save herself, and shall say, or do anything, to promote her own self, no matter who is injured, or dies, as a result of said ambition.

And that is the truth of it, Hire.

Her ambition supersedes all else within her own path, all inclusive.


Great article!


Yesterday in ca.investing.com, an article by BMO was published in which the bank advised it's clients to get out of bonds, especially the 5 to 10 year bonds, because the Canadian economy is about to achieve lift off. 2016 saw the best job creation and best economic growth in 15 years. Our cost of production is once again lower than the US.

Now I do understand that those people who are marginally employed and under tremendous pressure would naturally side with the haters (and I include Wente as one of them), however, you are wrong and the haters are wrong on this one.


No one is taking the orange-tinted man seriously after only 8 months as president.


Another "episode" of the Joe Show....disjointed comments are on the rise.


Nonsense the vast majority of the decisions these individuals make are not governed by the Constitutional issues. They are governed by ideology.   There is no guarantee the appointed know anything about the agencies they will govern.  That should be clear when Rick Perry is going to operate the Department of Energy,  Ben Carson HUD or a Department of Education appointment of a person whose qualifications are her family gave $ 200 million to Republican candidates.

So when you can identify how those relate to founding principals post again.


To clarify my position on immigration, I happen to be in favour of "evidence based" immigration policy that understands and addresses that our less than replacement birth rate and our high standard of living and the need for a growing domestic consumer market because we can only export so much (e.g. as a % of GDP, we export almost twice as much as the US) all point to the need for a healthy annual quota of skilled, productive,   motivated immigrants who will focus on contributing to our economy, adapting to our values, laws and culture,  and getting ahead rather than on trying to get us to adapt to them and scoring handouts.

I am not in favour of cynical Liberal changes to our immigration quotas such as increasing the family reunification quota at the expense of the skilled quotas and watering down our citizenship requirements in order to grab the ethnic vote from other parties.

This is not "evidence based" policy but rather is "Liberal opportunism and shameless pandering" policy.


How horrible. My thoughts and prayers are with the survivors and families.


Lying has become the official religion of the right. The National Enquirer is their Bible. Are you enjoying the Frankenstein you helped create with your sophomoric pseudo-intellectualism?


NO apologies needed...you said what you meant...


Oh, "Silence" is about Japan?   I thought it might be about progressive Catholics who are fond of calling millions of Americans fascists and racists on the internet, but in  the real world,  keep Silence on how they think their neighbors are jackbooted cross burners.

Or about MSW's status.  Either one.


While I respect Mr. Chin's personal convictions, his position as US Attorney requires him to rise to a higher standard of conduct, beyond his personal beliefs. His personal traits may benefit his passion to do what's right but it should not interfere with his responsibility to prioritize what is best for Hawaii's people.

Chin's actions and statements clearly reveal that he was blinded by his own personal interests and saddly he has acted in a self serving manner and in the course of this, he has also insulted the people of Hawaii accusing us of being ignorant about the challenges of cultural diversity.  Chin should spend more time immersed in our communities to experience  both the good and challenges we face.  Mr. Chin, my advice is "no talk first. Try listen and observe first." It is amazing how much you will learn with your ears and eyes....and it will help you keep your foot from getting stuck in you mouth.  Aloha, good luck Mr. Chin.


Sorry, I'm not a Christian but an atheist so that doesn't apply to me. And yes, I voted NDP in the last election.


Once again Trump is reverting to running America like a family business. Having your son-in-law and the company lawyer devise a peace process doesn't strike me as a formula for success.


That would be a media sponsored Trump fight.


How long can we be fed this manure and being told it is caviar?

Thank you Gov. Walker for being the only legislator in this state brave enough to make the hard choice, knowing that this is whats best for Alaska, and not just your re-election campaign. This country needs more people like you.


This is awesome.  May the Holy Spirit continue to lead them, and St. Matthew's continue to be a beacon and an example of what a true and caring Christian community can be.


Ms MacKay,

You state that you are open to a testing-out of my proposed income tax approach to see if the result involves more good than harm for society.

Terrific. My prediction of course is that it would do more good than harm for society.


Mmmm...precious anchovies...


This is pretty classic.  The gun grabbers can’t make up their mind if they want to require gun owners to get insurance or prevent them from getting insurance.


I realize this is an article from last month but I just found it and really wanted to chime in. I was surprised that in 136 opinion comments not one person agreed with our Minister of Justice. While, I think a lot of the conversation on this board (and in Canada at large) could be improved through education on the historical and current realities of colonization, discrimination and stereotyping, I want to address one specific observation. I notice a lot of non-Indigenous people are making suggestions about things Indigenous people can do; however, might not we be more qualified to consider what non-Indigenous people can do to improve relations in Canada? As a white person myself, one easy thing I've found is to try to really pay attention to what Indigenous people are saying. The opinion piece by the  Honourable Jody Wilson-Raybould has some important messages for non-Indigenous Canadians that we would all benefit from paying attention to. I, for one, am going to give it a re-read!


I am going by what I have read on the Denver Post. It is great you are shopping wedding cakes.

If you get a business license, you agree to abide by state laws. I ahve said it to you before. Sorry you did not understand it then.

I went into a bakery today and told them that  have dual citizen ship in Austria and Germany and they flat refused to make me a Hitler cake. Even though they make custom cakes, no dice.

I went to talk to my lawyer and he said that no matter your national origin you can not compel a bakery to make you a Hitler cake. He said that was probably the dumbest thing he has ever heard in his life. I told him about a couple of your opinions and now he is now under his desk in the fetal pisition weeping.


Maybe the Queens representative didnt have that information available. Ignattief wasn't here long enough to let anybody write anything about him!


My sympathies for the owners.   In a prior comment, Re: lack of law enforcment.  Unfortunately I am not optimistic that 1) efforts will be made in earnest to apprehend culprits 2) If apprehend nothing will be done to hold culprits accountable.  In my opinion,  this is an unfortunate growing example of not addressing simple (?) crimes and  the  "broken window he theory states that maintaining and monitoring urban environments to prevent small crimes such as vandalism, public drinking, and toll-jumping helps to create an atmosphere of order and lawfulness, thereby preventing more serious crimes from happening." Just saying...


These student athletes are still immature kids that need some 'parental' guidance on a social and behavioral level besides learning to block, tackle, etc and maintain satisfactory grades.  That is why top Div1A coaches are paid so much because they have to be successful not only as on field strategist but also at times guidance counselor, father figure, boss,  psychiatrist, etc.  Coaches like parents run the gamut from authoritarian to permissive  with everything in between.  Just bothered to see so many off field catastrophes like players beating up girlfriends or disregarding warning signs and then getting seriously hurt.  These players who are given scholarships have made a commitment to be responsible and to be scrutinized in ALL aspects of their time as scholar athletes which includes not just when they are on the field but in the classroom AND acting responsibly on their personal time.  They are still kids who need some adult supervision.  Are they getting it?


Politicians like Democratic Senator Max Baucus of Montana were not in favor of a Canadian style health care insurance solution. Republicans were not interested in improving Obamacare once it was passed by Democrats only. 34 Democratic House members voted against the final bill.


....because it's Apple's 10th anniversary and Apple , I think, is seen as a more progressive /green company.
and Yes ....The obvious solution is not to disparage cell phones or an individual manufacturer but to develop better recycling technologies and standards, something that is perfectly achievable.
.....and this is the point of “symbolic annihilation"  the "consumer-industrial-complex" doesn't want people to be aware of the harm their consumption is doing , because they may curtail their consumption or demand that recycling be made compulsory and the costs be passed on to the manufacturers affecting their profits.


Quite the honor to have this very intelligent and skilled USSCJ visit our town.


No, they didn't want Trump.  They wanted anybody but Trump.  In the Repub Establishment's eyes, Trump is to the Republican Party what Al Czervik [Rodney Dangerfield] was to Bushwood Country Club in Caddyshack.


Ah, yes... a male person agreeing with another male person... why, this kind of agreement must have something to do with being gay!


At Least Trump built something tangible...employed lots of people and has successfully left his mark on this country ...almost all of it positive

Great - lets move on.  Canadians need to spend more time critiquing the bozo we have have running the country.


There is indeed only one right side, and the United States of America has voluntary left it.

Lawyers usually tell you  to pay up when a woman accuses you of sexual misconduct. The publicity from a trial with no matter how frivolous the complaint is devastating even if at the end you are acquitted. There are a lot of predator woman who know this out there.


Your statement has some truth to it. But perhaps not all in the way that you intend it to. While white supremacists would certainly prefer a president who has nationalist leanings rather than a globalist or "progressive", your implied conclusion that Trump and his supporters are of like mind or sympathetic with Neo-Nazi's is a part of the problem. The fringe has been increasingly active since the election of Mr. Obama, and while his election as well encouraged many to feel "emboldened" most people want to have nothing to do with the violent minority who believes that bad behavior will force the hand of society.


corrupt entitlement......disgusting


Democrats have given millions of US jobs to illegal aliens and are now importing thousands of young Syrian Muslim males who, under Sharia law, treat women like dogs, believe homosexuality is punishable by death, and that all "infidels" must convert to Islam or die.

If illegal immigrants can find work so easily in America, why can't young black males?  Maybe Paul Scott knows.

Why would any woman, black or LGBT vote for a Democrat?  Along with the Kennedy brothers, Bill Clinton is among the biggest womanizers in American history.


I agree.  The Argonauts last won in 2012 and 2004.  It seems that unless Canadian teams are playing American teams, the league does not count.

You sound like someone who's just bitter because you didn't get your feel-good gun control fix.


Those are the Canadian civil servants who bother showing up for work. The other 70% are busy talking to their lawyers filing racial discrimination suits, sexual harassment suits, human rights complaints, on stress leave, filing frivolous disability claims or undergoing gender reassignment evaluations while off work and on full salary and benefits. And they're all counting down the days when they can quit work and start collecting their full pensions.


The Daily Mirror! Wow, about as reliable as the News of the World (better known in the UK as the News of the Screws). The Mirror used ro be best known for its skimpily clad beauty early in each issue - a left wing version of the Sun chain.

I don't think Jim Stanford's words of caution seriously impair any industries' desire to expand but it is interesting to hear another viewpoint rather that the 19th century style full-steam-ahead, pedal-to-the-metal approach to industrial development.


Hi - In fact, 4J provides transportation to River Road only within the NEHS area.  Since this is already the poorest HS area in the city, transportation does little to dilute the poverty there.  A better system would bus kids from wealthier parts of the city to River Road, reducing the concentration of poverty there.

It is unfortunate that Islam is the only major religion in the world not prone to "chauvanism" and intolerance, thus making it a natural victim virtually everywhere it tries to simply coexist peacefully with other communities. Minding their own business, not trying to change or alter the fabric of the nations where they land. Peaceful. Tolerant. Enlightened.

Dougie has pointed this out repeatedly in his past screeds, it is unbelievable how people stubbornly refuse to see the light.


Look at the bright side. After a hundred years or so of being a third world country Canada will begin to be thrown scraps of employment because other countries will feel sorry for us. Call it cyclical..


Unlicensed day care facilities operated by unqualified personnel, a police department more concerned with protecting its own than the public and venal politicians more focused on posturing for national attention as supporters of a Sanctuary State than on constituent service.

What we need is to send ALL illegal invaders back and wipe the slate clean.  It's never been unfeasible to immigrate legally.  Why make it easy?
We also need to change the 14th so that any child born in the US is only a US citizen if BOTH parents are also US citizens.

Burt Neimeyer - ADN won't allow me to do a full fireworks display on the page, but you deserve it. You're absolutely right. We couldn't take another four years of Obama's policies, which is why voters rejected Clinton. It's too bad there wasn't a better alternative to her than Trump, but hopefully he'll surprise us. I was wrong about Reagan. I could be wrong about Trump.

Now, if we can get term limits for the House and the Senate, we'll be much better off.

With the background being a conflict so deep, confusing, and dangerous, Trump's travel ban is starting to look not-so-racist... almost like the ban was put in place against politically confusing, hot conflict zones??


“I could see this coming so I went to city hall to try to get a permit to hold a pro-straight event but was turned down,” he (Johnny Gallego) said. “Mostly I went down there to see what my rights were.”
Must have missed the anti-lgbt  part.  Think he wanted to find out his rights and guess he found out.  If I went there and found out it was a lgbt bar, my basic choice would be to leave and not return or to accept and stay.  Would I take to FB or Yelp to tell the world not to go there?  I think not.    Time people accepted where the best beer was or was not and move on.


What?


Pueblo, home of the heroes. The new way to say that is Pueblo, home of the hero-in (heroin). This place has tons of crime, corruption, drop-outs, teen pregnancy, more Mexican gangs than Longmont, murdder, stolen cars, drug dealing, illiteracy...Pueblo, home of the zeros.


If this particular mess can be limited to only diocesan priests, they will be somehow neutralized, whether that means they are laicized, or kept on in a "different capacity."

I think that there are scandals within scandals here.  At a higher level. This stuff really suggests a deep and disturbing mindset, one that is so much deeper than just some messed up teachings on human sexuality, or some abuse scandals.  There is something really crazy going on here.  For every group like this one, I wonder how many others are out there?  Why is it that Rome seems SO ADAMANTLY against rethinking some of its teachings on human sexuality, on women, on gays?  The pieces of the puzzle just don't fit...

When push comes to shove, so many of the bedrock virtues seem to be evaporating.  Francis cries for mercy, but has effectively changed very little on the abuse scandal...  He talks about compassion, yet Muller can state they won't even answer victim's letters...  What's going on in the church?


the offings of Club Islam......


Ditto for me.  Coldwell was not checked off on my ballot.  :)


In another three years Canada will not be in a good position economically thanks to Justin Trudeau.  We will be in serious trouble.  He is just bull dogging ahead with his carbon tax plan regardless of the cost to Canadians and without any impact evaluation.  Tax and spend is no way to run a competitive economy.  Our GDP figures need to seriously improve.

If the liberal government is  looking to the legalization of marijuana and the taxation thereof as an economic crutch, good luck!  Additionally, Justin Trudeau is paying absolutely no attention to the impact a Donald Trump presidency will have on this country and planning accordingly.


Are the homeless ever fingerprinted?  To check their identities?


Reported subtly to paint a different perspective.  The full context of Trump's statement is as follows:  "The U.S. has a 60 billion dollar trade deficit with Mexico. It has been a one-sided deal from the beginning of NAFTA with massive numbers of jobs and companies lost. If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting."

The RG seems to have left out the $60BILLION trade deficit.  Important don't you think?


“The week off was cool, everybody got to relax a little bit and take their mind off of what happened,” cornerback Arrion Springs said.

I am so tired of Helfrich being "disappointed" and players saying a week off was "cool"...how about "angry" or "furious" or "upset?"

Nick Saban after Alabama BEAT USC 52-6, “If you want to know the truth about it, I wasn’t pleased with the way we played. We need to get more players that can play winning football.”

But when your head coach is Mark "Everyone gets a blue ribbon" Helfrich and players have "cool" weeks off...well, you get what we see and no, those comments made by players after the game were not out of "frustration" but rather the "reality" both they and the fans witnessed ON THE FIELD...some coaches are in over their heads with their jobs and some players quit and / or do not care. Saban(and other elite coaches) make everyone "uncomfortable"...Helfrich makes everyone "comfortable" and the results speak for themselves.

From Mutikani’s screed one would assume that the US Fed targets the American CPI-U series. In fact, it targets the personal consumption expenditure price index (PCEPI), which was updated to June 2017 at the beginning of August. (The poorer timeliness of this series Is one of the drawbacks of its use as compared to the CPI-U.) The PCEPI inflation rate for June was 1.4%, down from 1.5% in May. The core measure most referenced by the US Fed excludes food and energy. The PCEPILFE inflation rate was 1.5% in June, unchanged from 1.5% in May. However, the US Fed also pays attention to a trimmed mean core measure, which has been tracking higher: its annual inflation rate was 1.7% in June, unchanged from May.


It must be tiring for both the Trump and Clinton supporters to be constantly having to defend the indefensible. For these two, honesty and decency are simply props to be dragged out or put away as self interest dictates.


Sorry, your "profession" failed at the national level. 57 out of 59 national newspaper came out in support of Hillary Clinton, yet somehow people are supposed to trust the national polls they all are associated with, most who had Hillary ahead and most who oversampled her supporters. People can read the email from Hillary's chief of staff Podesta giving instructions to their minions in the media about how to stack the polls in her favor. Just like the media prostrate themselves to Hillary's campaign regarding not only what questions to ask her opponents but how best to frame issues in her favor.

Sorry, no, your "profession" and its partner in compliance the media have zero, no less than zero, credibility in many households now. Expect more households to start crank yanking pollsters. Why? Because we are tired of being played the fool.

"I would plead with those who cannot begin to comprehend how those on the far right of Adventism think and act to remember that they are God's beloved children as well and to pray that God will somehow touch their hearts and lead them out of the legalism and demigogery that so threatens our church."

Well, Dan, that's a "pompus ass (donkey)" attitude, isn't it?

The other side is praying that your heart would be touched so you would give up your liberal antinomian spirit and be converted to the bible truth of male headship.

Some people are sealing their destiny for eternity. The unpardonable sin has a consistency that is easily understood.

See Matt. 12

If and when you call the work of God the work of the devil and in turn, call the work of the devil the work of God, you have reached a position that can not be remedied. Every effort and call to repentance by God is deemed the work of the devil. And every false spiritual manifestation the work of God. It's all over.


You've hit the nail on the head as usual, Mel, that's the rationale in a nutshell.

Be very, very sure that you do not vote yes on this bill, Senator.  We will replace you the next time you run if you indeed try to kill your constituents with this bill.  We will not forget and we WILL replace you.  Vote no, or else.


These refugees had a choice to accept the offer to come over back in the refugee camps.  I'm sure if they didn't love our country and want to work hard to further themselves in Canadian culture and society, they would have rejected the offer.

We should all wish them success to pull themselves out of the hellhole.  Remember a lot of them were highly educated working in Syria before the war disrupted their lives.  Our biggest challenge will be to provide education to their children to succeed in Canada.  They face the challenge of having lost a few years of schooling in a war zone.

Those jihadists prey on the uneducated by radicalizing them.  It's better for us to educate them before the jihadists get to them first.


I have reffed football. I have never seen 3 offensive pass interference calls in one game, much less on half. Look at the videos. One is called for a hand check, which is legal.


There are no barrios in the United States?  If deporting 800,000 DACA "dreamers" would free up 680,000 jobs, most are working at real jobs.  No, of course not every one is a college graduate (who, culturally Anglo or not, have trouble finding jobs).  But the facts remain:  they did not come here of their own choice, most have done nothing wrong since they got here, many only speak English, and Americans don't discriminate on the basis of family culture.

There is no excuse for putting their parents in front of the immigration line, but there is no a priori reason we can't put these youth on a path to citizenship.  This is part of the clean up of our immigration mess; it shouldn't be first in line.  Secure the borders, deport illegals, restrict the privilege of "anchor babies" to their immediate family, limit immigration to economically sensible levels.

THEN either deport the DACA "dreamers" without prejudice and let them get in line, or let them stay, as seems best.


Yes, it's Nixoncare.  They own it.  https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2015-07/uomh-nvo071015.php


Not signing this new law would have turned the management of wolves in Oregon into a political game.” Too late.

This has been a political game for decades. The cottage industry of attorneys on behalf of the environmentalists supported by the donations of those who support the return of prey animals to Oregon and elsewhere against the cottage industry of attorneys supported by the fees of cattle and sheep interests opposing them requires political activity when the Courts don’t do what either side wants.

“Science” is a tool which may or may not support either side on a given day.

In the meantime, the attorneys make money, the environmentalists feel good about donating and the cattle and sheep guys get to whine about all of the above while having coffee each morning at their local cafes before they go count the dead sheep and calves. It’s all good!


Did you actually characterize itemization as an opportunity? There is nothing that precludes the "opportunity", but if the increased standard deduction is substantially larger than the sum of itemization why would someone bother?


So it was the left-wing counter-protesters who were the masked violent group who attacked police?  What a shock.

(Isn't that sort of what Donald Trump suggested last week?)


There are no faiths that support ISIS.  ISIS claims to be Muslim.  There's a difference.

Paul Bernardo could claim to be Christian, but that doesn't mean every Christian is... well... Paul Bernardo.  There's a bizarre stretch of logic being applied here that many people seem content to overlook, and I'm not sure why.


No.  And neither is his buddy, de facto PM Butts, worth his salary.

Please get rid of Trudeau in 2019.


If he took a CHL class like I have, he is made fully aware shooting someone, even it it is justified will cost you at least 40 grand. That was enough for me to choose not to carry most of the time, unless. I have even heard menacing will cost you a fair amount, the teacher of the class said he had a friend who pulled his jacket to the side to show some guy he was carrying and he got popped and cost him 10k in attorney fees. NO THANKS, these people will antagonize you just to get you to do something stupid so they can cost you money.


Why didn't they shoot him and save us money, now money will be wasted to incarcerate this scum.
Money that could be used for more police officers, but not now.


Anyone who votes for the GOP should see a psychiatrist.


Might as well get used to it, dude.  Whenever she opens her mouth, embarrassment for those deluded enough to have ever supported and/or admired her will be the inevitable consequence...

Hmmm...at least 8 factual errors.  Below par compared to most Barkley-related articles.  3 per article is most common.


You've been saying that since November 10. Zzzzzzzzzzzz.


>> This is what happens when you live in a pro-gun and a capital punishment state.

Actually, this is what happens when people don't have the resources to provide for themselves, their families or friends.  It's almost like *someone* brought people to North America from Africa (and other places), forced labor, torched/hung them(literally), sexualized the women and kept a system alive as long as possible which would prevent their rise in a fair, just society, which *believes* in "justice for all".

If only there was a precedent...  showing how natives peoples had been treated in the USA(AND ELSEWHERE) beforehand...   hmmmmmmm...

This problem goes back millions of years before certain species, and is not hung on gun laws.  Look in the mirror back before guns were invented; what did we use then?

Hatred?  Survival?  Celebration?


Love the masks in that photo!  And those people are SUPPORTERS of Trump??  They look like they come off of a Saturday Night Live sketch.


I'm amazed-- no one has blamed Trump yet.


"Perhaps you could reference some of those preparations for us - Obviously NOT these Farmers"

Are you trying to tell me that farmers voted for Trump are NOW surprised he is attempting to institute what he promised? Do you think these articles lack credibility or at the very least, common sense? "I voted for Trump but now upset he is doing what he promised". Oh brother.


Author is a sweet looking individual called Barbara Kralis who writes for Renew America thinks the pope might not be Catholic. So you're in good company, Cael!


Therefore they would support President Trump's decision to withdraw from the accord and bring in some practical measures to encourage people to help the environment. The Paris accord is all about more taxes and more government, nothing to do with helping the environment.


RD had a bad sociology class in college, so he dismisses the entire subject of which he is quite ignorant.


Prof. Marrus's international reputation will remain intact. There will be no  metaphorical asterisk beside his name in bibliographies. The reaction internationally will be mostly resigned shrugs, a bit of sad head shakes, punctuated by eye rolling.

I await the 200 signatories' public denunciation of Prof. Marrus. I trust that they have the courage of their convictions.


Thank you for the quick response.


If welfare is an entitlement, look who is at the top. Alaska Natives don't even register on the scale…

As of July 8, 2014, the demographic breakdown of welfare recipients was 38.8 percent Caucasian, 39.8 percent African American, 15.7 percent Hispanic, 2.5 percent Asian and 3.3 percent Other. There are 12.8 million Americans on welfare, which is equivalent to 4.1 percent of the U.S. population.


No! No! and Heck No!
The olympics are a major money pit for the hosting cities, just look at recent hosts to see what has happened after all the happy athletes leave town.  We rejected it once, let's do it again!

I don't want to see my taxes go up to pay for a huge boondoggle like the olympics.


Oh great jumping horny toads. God is a myth, science describes what is real.


Great Read, thanks for your encouragement Sophie!  May you stay on target and hit those goals for yourself.  You look great!


Let's build a bridge, which we can suppose will last about 75 years. Providing that bridge is built where it is needed, it will provide increased economic opportunity for this generation and future generations. So future generations should help pay for it. That's why you borrow the money to build it in the first place. In this way, public debt serves a very useful purpose.


The racists clearly intended to provoke a confrontation. And the "counter protesters" didn't ram speeding cars into crowds, committing murder.


WI64,  support your comment.


I read that report. The top commodity is soda for snap, milk for non-snap.  However, the #2 commodity for non-snap is soda and the #2 for snap is milk. That doesn't mean snap people are spending all their money on soda. The greatest expenditure group for both groups is meat, poultry. In fact the conclusion of the report is that snap households spend in almost the same way as non-snap.


...and yes in your fantasy world real estate just keeps on going up forever

LOL


The Russian interference in our election is NOT a partisan issue....Outsider and others attempt to trivialize the issue by defining it as such.  It represents a foreign government seeking to influence and control our political system.  That's hardly trivial.  Senator Flake expresses his concerns for the welfare of our nation.  He is being condemned by Mr. Trump and his supporters for doing so..Senators Flake, Corker and McCain, since they're not running for re-election, have "enhanced" First Amendment rights.  Any Republicans who wish to continue in office don't have that luxury.  Speak ill of Mr. Trump and the right-wingers of the GOP will find someone to oppose you in the primary and spend tens of millions to remove you from office.  Hopefully, this "dam" will break at some point and GOP Congresspersons and Senators will join Senators Corker, Flake and McCain in voicing their concerns.  That will take real courage.  Gary crum


Yeehaw!!! I always go to Dickey's when I'm in Ft. Worth. Mighty tasty!


Uh...no.
It was a hypocritical Republican leadership that was out to get him for anything.
It started out as an investigation into Whitewater that turned into an investigation into whether he had sex with a willing young woman.
There's a lesson there for you a Trumpsters...

"is you republicans who love Russia today"

I can't find a single Republican that likes Russia. Please do share with us who the politicians are, they should be kicked from our party as they are not real Republicans.


No it does NOT exist everywhere and she is correct that they are not properly vetted, because they weren't! What you are doing is trying to make excuses to import people and let them commit crimes, that's disturbing.


This is clearly a supply problem.  Build more houses.  In the short term heavily penalize people who flip houses for profit.  Foreign buyers only account for something like 6% of home sales so I'm not sure that a tax on that segment is really going to change anything.


No, not true at all.  He had been kneeling for at least one game before anybody even noticed. if he was trying to upset people he would've called more attention to himself. He definitely was not trying to upset anyone.


What about all of us who used to live in the neighborhood but are all out in the numbers and Gresham area? Can u open 2 more? One in st. Johns area and one out here in gresham/Troutdale area...

The emails themselves instructed the addressees to delete -- dump emails immediately. The emails told us that Donna Brazil/CNN had been leaking questions ahead of time to Clinton. The hacked emails told us that the DNC was doing its damnedest to destroy Sanders -- using the fact that he's Jewish to try and discredit him.... Those emails painted a portrait of an ugly ugly crowd. Debbie Wasserman Shultz, Podesta, the Trumps, the Clintons are all despicable power-hungry people.

And lets not forget how much we all love Wikileaks when it releases ugly inside info about the US military. We on the left don't snipe about illegally obtained emails then, do we?

In the past, Hazardous Waste was only collected once or twice a year, and was a complete nightmare when it came to waiting lines backed up to Franklin Blvd.  That being said, the 2  day a week collection days give the Hazardous Waste Technicians a chance to process the waste brought in those days besides what is brought in from businesses on another day of the week, whom do not get this service for free. As for making an appointment to discard your haz waste for free, that's so you don't have to wait in line, and the techs know what to expect that day in advance and plan accordingly.


The Advertiser reported on  Internet II, last century.  Maui to LAX, "large video files" from USAF high-speed telescope to "HQ".  Maui had video of that space shuttle damaged wing hours after launch.  That was their job: ID stuff in space using a huge, high-speed telescope.


I don't like cardinals advocating via the media, especially when it is intended to undermine the Holy Father, but never mind, per my above message, the question is moot.  We are now in uncharted Neo Lefebvrist territory.


Part of the learning environment in school is how to navigate the social world. In the adult world, most of us have to associate with the general public, with peers, co-workers, our bosses.
Sending kids off to the library to learn might work for select few. Some kids need the structure of school to have any chance at all of getting an education. Involved parents who model exemplary social skills go a long way in achieving education and later success, but it is, unfortunately, not a requirement.


If it were that easy, someone, somewhere, sometime, would have done it.

BEE-ESS.


When Trump's lawyers met with him the firm had a policy that two would always be there because he lied so much. So  yes -get it in writing. And to compare yourself in the military with POTUS seems a bit of an over-reach.


The Russians, in their zeal to defeat Clinton in a desperate hope to remove the economic sanctions against them, have sewed a bitter harvest. Now relations with Russia are returning to those during the Cold War.   As far as Trump's direct involvement, perhaps the "smoking gun" will come if evidence irrefutably demonstrates that Trump's people were behind the otherwise bizarre (yet successful) effort to change the Republican Party Platform before the convention to delete party platform support of the effort to supply Ukraine with lethal defensive weapons.

I would not like to stand on a street corner in sub-zero temperatures all day. That's why I work and have done so for 40 years. Five days a week for 40 years, I drag myself out of bed at about 6 a.m. and get ready and go to work whether I want to or not. Sometimes drive to work with tears rolling down my face, but still go to work. And will probably have to keep working until I die in order to provide a home for myself. So to hell with these able-bodied men I see standing on street corners begging.


Billy Ray, please Google "madrassa" if you'd like an education on what vouchers could bring. If we open the "voucher" flood gate, ANY religion could petition the state for money.

You gotta pick your teachers, Billy Ray.


Having worked in the healthcare industry for many yeas I have seen the damage the ACA ha caused.  Significantly higher insurance nd healthcare costs, need to change Physicians and medical insurance plans and huge tax increases to cover the related costs and fees cased by ACA.  The faster we can get rid of the ACA the better!!


Not really when you think about it. Prohibition is very habit forming. Prohibition junkies have to keep getting their fix of feeling powerful so they'll eventually ban everything. If they aren't given treatment for their narcissistic condition they do horrible things like Hitler did. The only cure is to re-access draconian and unconstitutional laws and condemn the haters that write them.


Couldn't have said it better.


Yes, you are correct but the majority of taxpayers opposed ACA. They also oppose Trumps-I am among them. Not enough cuts to spending in it.


If Rick Perry wants to make nuclear energy cool again, he should talk about Thorium with Kirk Sorensen.


Thank you sir.  I'm just a proud American from a very very long line of proud Americans who were born into this world needing to be adopted, mixing pot style.  My father took a genetic spit test and boy were we surprised at our 'english' heritage : we're hispanic, german, english, norweigan, eastern european jew, greek, italian ... ;)  We know at least my great grandmother was adopted.  I'm certain from my upbringing that adopting lost animals needing a home pulls on this knowledge of background, both sides of my family always had adopted pets.  Who cares how one came into this world, what matters is surviving!  The USA is the greatest country in the world BECAUSE of our mixing pot of people, ideas, and freedom and liberty to do so once we find stable footing and handholds ... shelter pets are the best and I love that sooooo many Americans feel the same way.  Colorado, in particular, is blessed with pet lovers, shelter pets are flown and driven here from all over the country.  So cool


Junior still trying to garner the bleeding heart and immigrant votes, getting ready for 2019 ... what else he is good for ?


Lisa Murkowski turned her back on victims of violence when she voted against the Violence Against Women Act.  Her faux attempt to make herself look like she is working overtime on the plague of violence in Alaska is insulting.  She is one of the reasons Alaska is a predator friendly state.


Chrystia Freeland s living in a dream, as are most Liberals, if they really think that there is "no question" of separating Canadian, U.S. economies.

Historically, US politicians have always done what serves themselves best regardless of any treaties or agreements with other parties.

There is no honour amongst thieves or politicians.


Shared morality is always going to be tenuous in a culturally and ethnically diverse society. When 'rice bowls' are broken and/or status diminished scapegoats will be found. This can be papered over for a while by governmental edict, force or bribery, but this is only a stopgap. As long as 'the other' exists this will always be so.


Trump's supporters are abandoning him with increasing speed. That must have been on his mind as he was reluctant to alienate his white supremacist base.

GOP politicians, no matter what a buffoon they thought he was, had to embrace him when his base was at 40%. With that kind of fervent support, they just needed to find another 11% on their own to hold a clear majority.

When T-rump's ldiotic statements and lack of effectiveness bring his base down to 30% or less, his associates will jump ship. When will that happen?


Hundreds Gather at Trump Golf Course and Spell It Out: 'Resist!'

Local Indivisible group targets country club owned by the president to deliver message

https://www.indivisibleguide.com/act-locally/

With the national anti-Trump resistance movement continuing its fight against the White House and Republican agendas on all fronts, 200 members of a local Indivisible group in California on Saturday took their message to the  Trump National Golf Course in the town of Rancho Palos Verdes and aimed it at the sky: Resist!


Your argument so far leads to a false conclusion.  One of your premises must be wrong.

Major premise: Muslim Bans I, II, and III are terrorist bans
Minor premise: North Korea is a terrorist state
False conclusion: North Korea is included in Muslim Bans I, II, and III


IRT Cocket; I agree, Maui taxes should be spent on Maui. Saying that, Oahu taxes should be spent on Oahu.


Over emphasis on Green energy cost Dems the WH. We better start finding our hacking scapegoat when Canada elects its Trump.


owe, and by the way. For every black person killed by a police officer, there just as many is not more situations where a white person was killed by a police officer or a white person killed by a black police officer. Further, there are even more situations of black people killed by black people, when the police aren't around. Sure, you can find stories that fit your point, but I can do the same thing.

In this country, there are LEGAL ways to fight officers acting unethically. Refusing to follow their instructions and carrying on with what you are doing is not one of them. If he felt he was stopped unjustly, he should have complied and then seeked legal council after the incident. It is about personal decisions and how you go about handling the situation. I'm not saying he deserved to be shot. Time will tell. But it is simple, when in that situation, obey the cops orders and you will be fine. That's what I would do and what more people of all colors would do. Most end ok.

Too funny.  Sarge - the failed general - can't hold his own with a woman.


Really?  The mother of Pope Siricius [384-399], has her tomb marked as 'episcopa Q' [exists in the Basilican Cemetery of St. Paul's in Rome]

Theodora, the mother of Pope Paschal I [817-824] was an ordained bishop. [mosaic in the Chapel of St. Zeno within the Church of Santa Pressede in Rome].

Mathilda, daughter of Otto I was both a Benedictine abbess and the metropolitian [archbishop] of Quedlinburg [first capital of what is now Germany].  This information is in the Deutches Archiv fur Geschichte des Mittelalters 3 p. 36-70--trans. Edmund Stengel.

St. Brigid of Ireland was both an abbess and a consecrated bishop---[from the 9th Century---documents in Dublin: Dublin institute for Advanced Studies----trans. Donncha O h Aodha, 1978.]

And all of these were either members of the Christian community or Roman Catholic.  Our church's history is too long and convoluted to say "it never happened'.  Every year researchers are discovering more and more information ordained women in the Church.


Football is destroying itself.  Not by the players who chose to protest against Blacks being slaughtered by our police but by the constant pursuit of profits by the NFL.  A football game is 60 minutes.  Longer if it goes into overtime.  But it takes generally now 3 + hours for a game to be completed.  Disgusting.  Soccker is so much better.  Less predictable too.


To be honest, I am scared what team chemistry be now, we lost a great playmaker. We started well because of him and McKinnon, langeskog

Lose the phrase "in my day".  Stop sneering at people who don't follow your dress code.
When you get another interview, try not to show your snotty and condescending attitude. What is with the comments about trimming the crust of people' sandwiches? Who cares if the corporate culture being different from the way it was "in your day"?  I know what I am talking about. I am older than you - by a lot. I get interviews and I get hired for temp positions (which is what I want).  However, I know that if I walked in with a chip on my shoulder like you have, I wouldn't have any success in finding a job, and neither will you.


It's called genocide if it was deliberate.  I don't think it was the government's intent to kill the Native children, although that certainly was an effect of these schools.   The stated purpose of the residential schools was to break Native children from their family's culture (kill their culture) and impose the English culture on them.


So someone who actually works for a living is compared to someone who has millions due to his birth?
Stay on topic, we're not talking about Justin Trudeau.


The tiny houses have toilets, showers and places to sleep (many floor plans). What would be gained by turning the property into an RV park? The neighborhood would prevent it (zoning change would be required, and would be blocked). The Whiteaker neighborhood has 20% homeless owing to suggestions like yours. Put some trailer parks in the south hills if you like, but we want code-compliant housing, which EVE is.


Good story Mr. Rollman, mahalo!  I was walking down Bishop Street the same day and saw them taking off the letters.  A worker was banging one of the letters and all that 70+ years of dust fell out from behind the letter!  Yes, the only constant in this world is change........

When have I done so? Used the Scripture to justify racism or apartheid?

It is not racism or apartheid to acknowledge governments have control over their borders and have a responsibility to the people living their already not to take in more people than they can accomodate.

One can always tell New Canadians as they don't understand sarcasm, humourous insults and take things literally. They also don't understand that attending a university does not always result in a degree. You've been here for decades but still can't fit in.

Remote reserves have outlived their viability. Nobody hunts and traps for a living in 2017!! Get over it. Move them to larger centres where good education and the prospects of employment exist. The only down fall would be some laid off chief and councillors and a few INAC employees.

The anti-Ukrainian sentiment expressed by our Russian friends here in their comments is not exactly surprising.

You should see how Russian nationalists are trying to rehabilitate Stalin's image in today's Russia. Can you imagine a "St. Iosef Stalin" ikon after all the Orthodox Christians that monster killed? Probably not, yet here it is:

ADN, this is a repost of one written earlier and was deleted for no other reason than it went against your liberal agenda. I challenge you to delete it again.

Hillary was given a meaningless verbal by a republican appointed justice department employee later appointed by Obama to the Fbi. You see, it is important for two reasons. One, there is no difference between the two parties at the establisment core, they are one and the same. Bush appointed rhinos and Obama will have too after he's out of office and we see the true color. Secondly the best rats are hidden in plain sight, turn an appointee into a sleeper tucked where you need it. We see the accepted incompetence daily, the VA, the IRS, even HLS. And that's not mentioning some other depts. So yes the fix is in with contributions from both parties.
The rules and laws are to control us, the people. They do not and will not apply to the top and those that make them. We are sheep, thrown crumbs.


By any math, a crowd of 6000 supporters in Montreal is more impressive than a little online club of 6 detractors. There are millions of people throughout the world who want to remind themselves, after six months of the loud alternative, what a President of intellect and dignity looks like.
All the Trumpers can do is gripe in their usual bitterness, making sure to look the other way while their silver-spoon hero runs his sleazy family business openly from the Oval Office.

I remember talking with Wally Hickel (1967) about building a railroad to Deadhorse.
We can now do this for much less $$ in a much smaller footprint than we think, if we think beyond the old heavy-rail standard in the initial stages of construction. We have new types of rail-bed ballast which is cheaper and of superior strength and durability compared to crushed rock. We also now have amazing tunnel technology which is rapidly getting cheaper to use... it's not far-fetched to think of subways in Alaska... a hi-speed subway from Kaktovik to Kotzebue under ANWR can unlock amazing amounts of stranded resources.
...a smart engineer knows if you eliminate the guys wearing neckties, the job can be done for a reasonable cost without headaches.

Alaska has become one of those miserable places where 1000 old lazy bigshots wanna sit behind their desk in the bored-room and watch 100 young guys do all their work for them... not a healthy lifestyle.


Saunders intentionally missed the liberation victory celebrations  in the streets of Aleppo. so he could write this fact challenged  piece of fake news.
He also  must have just read the Brookings institute new report rewriting the history of regime change in  Libya. It promotes Libya as a  credible and successful model. of change.
The fact however paint a different picture of misery and criminality.

If animals could vote, they would tell us humans to but out, you have no idea what life is about.


Jesus's similarity to the Apostles in image and likeness is greater than God's likeness to man in image and likeness.  Your inability to point out the error in what I said is patent in your empty remark.  Go ahead, show the error.  I would welcome the correction, if you can think of one.


We would be better served if Canada paid the 2% of GDP to defense that their NATO treaty commitment obligates them to.  They're one of the worst violators, relying on the US to protect them.

Canada also has the highest immigration rate per capita in the world, and it's becoming a serious problem.  Lots of low-skilled people on welfare who don't assimilate and reject Western values.

"I have two questions for her. "Do you personally, on a personal level, Hate Trump as you stated, and if so why so? Or do you dislike his policies, which is an entirely different animal?""

Trump's character is simply unlikable as a human being (my opinion from afar).  Most of his policies stink as well (assuming you can figure out exactly what they are).


Ludmilla, Ludmilla, I would love to continue this conversation with you but your preoccupation with "catechism" rather than "religious education" suggests that it is actually fruitless.


Bautista has been a bust. Nice to see that he of such swagger has been humbled.


At the moment, it would seem that the Knights of Malta do not accept the Pope's authority to investigate their actions.
Interesting times.


Right-wing privileged males tell me who to hate and Left-wing privileged males tell me who to love, but they're just different sides of the same con.

It's simply about power -- who has it, who wants it, and who fears it.  It's wielded in politics as a means of disguising itself as the real problem.  'Fear them, no, love them!' but above all don't look too closely at how we manage your life to your own detriment.

If you don't love who I love you're a racist and if you don't hate who I hate you're not racist enough.

No wonder so many people are angry and antagonistic toward one another.  Divisive politics never made anyone's life any better.  And yet it's all we are ever offered.  Us against them.  What a mess.


...and with the high cost of the lease "we decided to move on".


" that will change in BC"

GO Away Troll.

The Insurance Council of  Canada used to have a paid troll who kept posting anti ICBC rants in usenet groups like bc.general, without identifying himself as a paid PR liar. One time I called his bluff and checked out websites offering car insurance quotes in Alberta and Ontario. Both were much higher than my ICBC Road Star rate.

I get the ICBC Road Star safe driving record discount.

You also need to consider that NDP, Social Credit and BC Liberal Governments used ICBC to finance highway and road safety improvements at high accident locations, Road Side Breathalyzer testing, and Red Light Cameras. They also off load the cost of Driver Registration, Vehicle Registration, and issuing not only Divers Licences, but BC ID Cards / BC Service Cards onto ICBC, paid for with Insurance Premiums.

Doing away with ICBC appealed to the Socreds and BC Liberals, but will never happen. Sort of like Romneycare, turned out to be much cheaper that way.


Sounds like the Troopers are gonna have some explaining to do.

No.  I mean the standard every-day garden-variety of Bigotry.

"Bigotry is the state of mind of a bigot: someone who, as a result of their prejudices, treats other people with hatred, contempt, and intolerance on the basis of a person's ethnicity,RELIGION, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic status, or other characteristics."


Muslims excoriate us about alleged Islamophobia, but we should bear in mind Islam's entrenched xenophobia, homophobia, misogyny, anti-Semitism, Christophbia, Europhobia, Americanophobia,  iconoclasm, and even Islamophobia against each other. Ancient tribal wars of extermination between Kurds, Shiite, Sunni, Wahhabi, Druze and other Islamic sects like ISIS, Taliban and AlQuada are the root causes of all the civil war raging across the Muslin world.  Already, Muslims have tried to blow up some of the great historical monuments of Europe, including Notre Dame in Paris, but we are not to speak of such things lest we offend Muslims.

Former PM Steven Harper had to face actual death threats from Islamist Muslims in Canada  twice but.... shhhh..... lets not say anything about it.


Why would you use your own money to buy an inferior econocoffin when for a few dollars more you can buy a useful vehicle.


You may be missing the distinction between heat and warming. The geothermal contribution to the Earth's energy budget has not changed (to cause warming) and is negligible to begin with...measured in mW/m². TSI variations (again, they are only changes that apply to warming) have had only a small impact on warming over the duration of the instrumental record with the lead up to the Modern Maximum ~1960. TSI has actually trended lower since the mid 20th century while the most significant warming has taken place.

So, not geothermal. Not the Sun. And there are no other natural factors that have played a role in long-term modern warming. In contrast, we have the known, empirical attenuation of OLR (as per your last reference) resulting from anthropogenically-sourced increases in atmospheric GHGs that explain all of the warming of the last half century. Modern warming has been virtually 100% anthropogenic.


I guess I was talking more about AQN and EIF as I never followed AW.UN until now.


Are you going to cry for the whole 4 years or is there a time when the tear ducts will run dry? lol


Sorry, Don't buy it for a Second.
How about some actual evidence?

Growth does not equal better standard of living.
In fact by almost every measure the standard of living is declining in Canada!
So, I would say mass immigration leads to declining standard of living!


Half the story - the internal forum existed long before VII.  Guess you never heard of the *old* moral manuals or even Thomistic moral theology.


All this extra expense, while ridership is declining.


No he wasn't a felon. The driver of that truck was working when the driver of that car, in a high speed chase with police, veered into oncoming traffic and hit the truck head-on. The driver of that truck was working safely and did nothing wrong. The police knew they were in big trouble, liable for his career ending injuries and brain damage (He's in a coma). So they went to get his blood in hopes they could find something like Prozac or Marijuana so that the police would be exonerated. Pure fishing expedition and highly illegal search and seizure.


Although it was originally reported that the driver of the car was a far right sympathizer it’s now been confirmed that it was indeed a Democrat Party member and Antifa terrorist drove his car into free speech advocates in Charlottesville Virginia this morning.


The Right to Inmates having Koran's in our jails are in the U.S. Constitution and our Bill of Rights?

The turd soup of the trump tide...hmmm. As we used to say, 'who ever smelt it, delt it.'
Of course I hope he has some good conversations...required enrollment in of of three national insurance plans created by non profit or public benefit corporations, with one simple form to file, and of course a public option for those in the low income category, paid for with a 2% increase in payroll taxes, and Medicare starting for those over 55% so the more expensive folks are covered outside of the insurance pool. Better than anything proposed by the GOP.


O'bama supported murdering babies.  O'bama lied about being able to keep your doctor and premiums not going up.


The loose talker in office now is the only one we can blame for today's escalating tensions with NK. You're simply regurgitating the same boogie-man rhetoric that your favorite biased media feeds you.


I live in Melbourne Australia where the majority of domestic housing is sold by auction. We get a bit tired of seeing our young first home buyers battle against droves of predominately Asian ''investors''--prices are out of control, and Sydney is even worse. I fail to see any advantage in allowing foreigners the opportunity to purchase domestic housing. It makes people cranky, damn cranky, and I'm sure the people of Toronto and Vancouver would fully agree.


Please encourage the CPC to run on this platform in 2019


Corporations may have their part, but rest assured, the arrogance and wasteful spending of public monies politicians use for their own political partisan gains plays a much bigger role in any anger.


Dear Truth Challenged,

The Board had no idea about that letter even days in advance as you can see by the date compared to the emergency meeting date. it also was concerning recent request to help pay off personal loans by Commissioner Handy so I do not know how we could have foreseen his actions months in advance.


Why ? Acknowledging a creation without a Creator is pretty illogical. Unless you choose to believe something comes from nothing, and the law of thermodynamics didn't apply for a long period of time. Equivalent to believing a frog turns into a prince and rabbits come out of hats.


Ferguson's frivolous lawsuits are an apparent pandering to his base for a run for governor at an enormous cost to the tax payers.  This pandering is why voters have turned to non-politicians like Mr. Trump.


It's interesting that Canadians don't hold themselves to the same standard.


"And another of your objections is that there is no cheap, junk plan available under ObamaCare".

This right here is why many people object to the liberal agenda. Liberals do not know what is best for everyone else. PERIOD! There is nothing wrong with a young individual being of decent health, purchasing a catastrophic health insurance plan and pay for any medical needs out of pocket. In fact in my opinion it makes good financial sense. Try this with Obamacare and the government is going to fine you.

There are some good provisions in Obamacare and can be included in a new reform. Addressing pre-existing condition would be one of them. These are the issues that could be worked out if the Democrats would agree to complete redo. There are 2000 pages in the Obamacare bill and 10's thousands of rules and regulations connected to Obamacare. It needs to be repealed and start over.


Apparently you missed... it's all over this comment section. This article, and any other article about anything LGBT, triggers them to crawl out from under their rocks and whine about other people's genitalia or bedroom practices, or whatever else is bothering them about "those people" that has zero impact on their lives. It is creepy.


Being quoted by Ms Moore!?

One more thing to cross off my bucket list.


Sitka is doing fine.  Wrangell is doing well.  Ketchikan is doing well.  They are all facing challenges like every other rural community in the country because the global economy has changed.
In Sitka, the pulp mills cut all the trees that were economic to harvest.  You can't get blood from a stone.  If they cut all the trees, then there aren't any trees left.  If you don't change and adapt, you get left behind.
In a time of complexity, simple solutions are just fantasies.


One thing we must all keep in mind when dealing with aboriginal issues is that the aboriginal people themselves are never to be held responsible for any of their problems. To question this premise is blatant racism. It's the Federal Governments fault, it's the Provincial Governments fault, the RCMP, local governments, the courts, etc. on and on. Everyone but the Aboriginals are at fault!!


No one thought about warning these people about the fire-drill?

No one thought of having an assistance program to translate the refugees' documents?

No government hustled to get lots more language teachers ready in time to handle all these new arrivals?

Sigh. This is the kind of thing you would assume government experts on resettling refugees would include in their plans...

Not the refugees' fault, the government's for lack of planning.

My sincere sympathy to these poor people who trusted the people in charge to know what they were doing.

That being said, the taxi driver with doctor or engineering credentials has become a cliché. Not every foreign diploma is equivalent to our own.

Dad an MP at time of the "Arrow." Had this Dief-Arrow anecdote about kids meeting PM in his office .
"Dief stood over by the window and – as usual – picked the two prettiest girls from the group for a photo opportunity. It then became a photo shoot for the Chief and some thirty kids. He then gave a ten minute talk, with the teenagers hanging on every word. When he asked them if they had any questions, they leapt at the opportunity. While this went on for almost forty minutes, somebody kept coming and looking in the door anxiously. Diefenbaker repeatedly waved them away. When we left his office, we could see three men sitting in the anteroom. They were not a happy trio and the one with a rising red face was Crawford Gordon – then the president of AVRO Canada. The decision to cancel the Arrow was vital politically and the biggest news event for a couple of years. Ironically, while those executives were in Ottawa for a crucial meeting, the Chief preferred chatting with high school kids."


Oh my darling 420.  Did your dispensary give you a higher THC or are you being.....'nasty'.  Either way and tither whither.........you're off subject.  I'M NOT THE SUBJECT OF YOUR PETTINESS.

What about all the companies that do provide stability and well-paying jobs as a counter-balance?  Maybe it is people are a little resentful of all the public-sector unions that have been shamefully bribed by government with sweetheart deals the regular taxpayer has to foot the bill with income tax, high electricity rates, new carbon taxes and all  the other taxes? And maybe the deals government officials make with foreign countries in the name of globalization so the rich can buy products more cheaply?


Perhaps, some Americans need to see how bad things can get before they realize how good they had it before.


Here you go AGAIN Waveyboy. Stop telling us that the Government won't and never has tried to take guns away from the Citizens!

Anyone who self inebriates to non compos mentis in a bar should not be there in the first place.

At some point, you have to take full responsibility for your behaviour .

Otherwise, in such cases where the inebriate hasn't a clue whether sex was consensual nor not or indeed who with, there cannot be a defensible legal case.

Case closed and onto more important legal issues


"Oregon’s political leaders largely condemn Trump’s immigration order"

I am shocked! Shocked I say!

Do we even need to read the story?


Oh fess up, Paul.  If the Juneau legislators had been republicans you'd find a way to claim that they needed the same per diem that the rest of them were getting.

Face the facts.  The legislators have been wallowing in excess per diem for years.  Is a 75% cut too much?  I don't know.  But they certainly should not be getting any higher per diem than other state employees.  Every legislator should have to pull their belt a couple notches tighter, not just the Juneau ones.


Treaties are made to be broken. I feel no contractual obligation to an agreement signed by a foreign king generations ago. Neither are we a fiefdom of the UN and its unworkable  Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Just like NAFTA can be opened and improved, so can the treaties. Canada needs to become a republic, rewrite our constitution so that a middle age woman can't skate away after sleeping with a 14 year old boy, millions are not given away to terrorists and all of the treaties need to be modernized for the benefit of both signatories. And B.C. needs to step off and let our country build the pipeline.


Since there are two Republican women Governors and two Democratic women  Governors, perhaps the first woman President will be a Republican!

 I certainly can't see anyone with half a brain selecting Kate Brown as President!


Unfortunately, NOV's just need to be appealed by the dog owner and the Muni Admin Hearing Officer will determine that AC/Doyon didn't follow procedure because they cut corners...you know, to maintain their profit margin.

Also, were on there website can you submit complaints? The complaint process isn't clear or intuitive. Forms are burried deep in the website and not user friendly. (Fax or drop off a form...really no way email a complaint) They do eveyerthing they can to convice you to go over and have a BBQ with your neighbor and talk about the dogs.

Oh and if you happen to record the chronic noise AC will request that you drop it off the recording on a CD,Who the hell records to CD now days?  Absolutely no way to provide them the digital recording via the series of tubes we are all connected to. People are getting frustration becasue the onus is on the everyone else but the dog owners.


always vote looser.


The Liberals can't function with identity politics and speech repression in the form of political correctness.
One can only imagine what the Liberal party would look like with out its public union base.
Simply put Justin is a status quo puppet who lied to get to office.


Yea, but, he almost won over the waha mayor.


Yes, and he also was declared "uncivil" by the SA.


Brian, I know it's standard in your profession but I doubt that Robert Crumb expects an apology. Borrowing his style looks more like respect.


As I said, it's hard and I understand that you are confused, when even the New York Times admits that you are.


Ah, the often stated Democrat rant "cut oil taxes".  Well that is certainly part of it but as usual that is where the Dems stop.  Develop and advocate a comprehensive budget resolution (you will have to cut some of your pet programs) and then perhaps people will take you more seriously.


A couple general rules of thumb here:

- For younger and/or lower income people without kids, TFSAs tend to be better.  They pay little tax and receive few means-tested government benefits now, but will likely pay more tax and/or receive more means-tested benefits in the future

- For parents with children RRSPs tend to be better, especially with the new Canada Child Benefit.  The clawbacks on this can be pretty steep and there are often Provincial and/or municipal means-tested programs for parents as well

- For older workers and/or higher income people RRSPs tend to be better.  Older people tend to be close to the top of their earning range and pay a high rate of tax


Yeah, your poor, poor dentist. Little lamb can't get the 2018 SLC huh? Maybe he can just upsell a few more wisdom tooth surgeries and mouth guards. Or, maybe he could work Fridays?


An excellent player, good to see years of The Oilers turtling finally paying dividends.


he may be intelligent and honorable but he does not know how to read the law correctly.  it is totally absurd to say that the word "qualify"  pertains to the qualifications of the appointee - why would anyone appoint someone who is not qualified?  that phrase in the hrs refers to the process, that following the law, the appointee would be qualified to serve.


Sadly this will continue to happen as long as we live in a society that puts more importance on property than how we treat each other. Nobody wins when there is no legal consequences for betrayal. Be excellent to each other.


Maxime was way too French for the west anyways......   sounds harsh and I do not claim

we already pay too much on income tax, I am retired and disabled and get no breaks, no wrong way my friend!


It wasn't just a caste marker in India. Muslim invaders from Central Asia, Afghanistan and Iran prided themselves on being superior to the darker Indians. During the Bangladesh Civil War, the lighter skinned west Pakistanis looked down on the darker skinned Bangladeshis (note that Islam was involved, not the Hindu caste system).


The material impact comes when oil is spilled and our water and air becomes toxic.

I have no issues with the goals of this agreement, which are laudable, however you know that this is simply going to be a larger, and far costlier version of the clean energy fiasco that has crippled Ontario.

I for one have no problem helping feed the homeless with my tax dollars, as I know that I myself am always only a paycheck or two from being one myself.

I don't dispute the "basic science of climate change".  What I do dispute is man's effect on it.  And my opinion is no less relevant than yours, because you don't know the answer either.


On Under the Influence today on CBC Terry O'Reilley cited a survey that showed more people tune in to the Super Bowl to see the commercials than to see the game. The simultaneous substitution was intended to allow viewers to see what they want, while replacing American content with Canadian content for the less interesting part of the broadcast. Maybe we should consider keeping the American commercials and replacing the Super Bowl with tape from the last Grey Cup.


The only thing driving home prices higher in Canada is pure speculation. Both domestic and foreign "investors". Plus our governments local and provincials are hooked on (land transfer) taxes and fees like crack. So far we have not heard a peep from the opposing political parties. In Ontario, Conservatives are thinking that they will simply win based solely on the hydro issues and other scams committed by Liberals. Hopefully, Conservatives at Federal level will pick a sane leader. They are not asked any questions on housing crisis going on in this country in their debates. People are being pushed out further and further from where they work. Govt talks about protecting the equity of baby boomers. How much equity do they need? I see this as a transfer of wealth - from future generation to current/older.  Millennials will never be able to afford a house. If they buy one at these insane prices, they will be paying the mortgage forever. Sad part: It sucks so much money out of the economy.


The ironic thing about all this intervention is that it frequently fails to achieve American objectives. Often the newly installed dictator grows comfortable with the security apparatus the CIA has built for him. He becomes an expert at running a police state. And because the dictator knows he cannot be overthrown, he becomes independent and defiant of Washington's will. The CIA then finds it cannot overthrow him, because the police and military are under the dictator's control, afraid to cooperate with American spies for fear of torture and execution. The only two options for the U.S at this point are impotence or war. Examples of this "boomerang effect" include the Shah of Iran, General Noriega and Saddam Hussein. The boomerang effect also explains why the CIA has proven highly successful at overthrowing democracies, but a wretched failure at overthrowing dictatorships.

So here we go again. I read the comments and I am once again confronted with the fact that so many of us 'settlers' believe our own propaganda. Canadians love to believe we are helping. Helping to give an education, to take children away from bad places.  It was a government policy to kill the Indian in the child that began with John A MacDonald. The idea was to, by the 'rule of law' make people white.
I would like to ask anyone how they would cope if their own children were taken from them and then to consider how we would be effected by having generations upon generation of children stolen from our families. The 60's scoop was just a continuation of this, except this time the provinces were given jurisdiction to take the children, change the birth certificates, hide the background and make people white. So were are talking about 8 generations. This is our countries genocide, our shame. Until we understand this and stop thinking about how we are 'helping' will stay stuck.


Civil Beat simply isn't leveling with its readers why the editors and reporters keep dumping on Gabbard and making her look bad.  They really haven't come clean.  Readers are in the dark.  It can't be the Hare Krishna thing or the Bernie Sanders thing.  My best guesses are either her criticism of Obama's foreign policy or she used to date CB's founder Mr. eBay and he never got over her.

Our "leader" drained the swamp in favor of people who are even more swampy than the people they replaced. There is a cure for our president and it does not include debating with people who support him. They will not be moved by any argument based on factual observations. Debate with supporters of this president is futile.   Those of us who don't accept the new swamp must OUTVOTE the opposition-early and often. Talking to them, or you, is a dead end..


You often disparage what you believe to be "right wing" media...Yet you offer as proof a quote from a site aligned with CAP, and make no mention that it is a strongly "left wing" biased site.  It is a blog, not a news site and is questionable in some instances, failing some fact checks.

No surprise LNG in BC has gone nowhere when you look at the environment created by the BC Liberals.  Fossil fuels were bad and BC residents must be punished with a carbon tax for burning them.  BC Hydro must build a $9B hydro dam instead of a $1.5B gas-fired power plant.  Even gas-fired Burrard Thermal, the only large power plant in Greater Vancouver must be shut down as an emergency standby plant, leaving the city reliant on hundreds of km of vulnerable transmission lines.
Then suddenly these same Liberals declare LNG as "clean", and promote its export carbon-tax-free.   Never mind LNG is far dirtier than nat. gas, due to the tremendous amount of energy (and consequent emissions) required to liquefy it.  All this energy goes to waste as the LNG must be regasified before use.
No matter, BC will punish residents who buy high-efficiency furnaces to heat their homes with gas instead of coal or oil.  The hypocrisy is astounding.  Any surprise there is resentment about LNG exports?
