They love illegal invaders, they are okay with racist hate groups, they condone violent & destructive protests, they clearly hate the law, and they are okay with terrorist financiers in the White House, but all they care about is the false narrative about Russia. The Dems should worry more about fixing there individual states, and all of the problems their dictator caused in this country & let real Americans worry about international relationships & national security.


I suspect that "The Numbers" came about b/c nobody from inner Portland bothered to learn the names of the different neighborhoods. From wiki:  Argay, Parkrose, Parkrose Heights, Russell, Wilkes, and Woodland Park are in Northeast Portland. Glenfair and Hazelwood are split between Northeast and Southeast sections. Centennial, Lents, Mill Park, Pleasant Valley, and Powellhurst-Gilbert are in Southeast Portland


Dion has asked the Saudis to be careful about using the weapons we supply them. The next thing will be warning labels. Hard to believe how incredibly stupid some of the excuses are. It's all about money.


Cannot emphasize enough how we shouldn't punch Nazis in the head in Canada -- no matter how much that they seemingly are asking for it.

Not only because they cannot spare the few brain cells they have, but because our socialized medical system (and collectively all Canadians by extension) end up paying their medical bills.

Just don't do it.


The public is acutely aware of gov.ineptness in handling money. The public wants people who understand both money and the public interest and hope Mr. O'Leary might.


Interesting question !
Maybe the brokerage has to hold "extra" shares to cover this eventuality ?
Or buy more of them (even though they are falling ?)
Maybe that why banks with brokerages take such a hit when things go south...
I am a bit surprised to see that 30% of this stock was (apparently) shorted months ago...
I never saw it on RoB's (anemic) list of large short positions...
(Feb/17)
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/investment-ideas/eye-on-shorts-what-bearish-investors-are-betting-against/article34097461/
.
But then since they are too lazy to use "% of float" as a criteria, I guess a company with only 60 Million shares (20 million shorted) flies under the radar...companies like ENB,BNS with ? 800 Million shares would be listed (42 Million shorted)....
More great in depth coverage....
.
How was it still trading at $35 if 30% was shorted is pretty amazing...
Many mysteries.


So Canada with all this land and a relatively stable population outside of immigration will continue to go up in price. I hate my country. Any country that sells out its future from the kids, holds them hostage to it. Why not food and water? We live in the greediest country in the world - so much for any progressive reputation whatsoever. Our houses cost no more to build today than 20 years ago, so this is all orchestrated. It's not any better living here than 20 years ago, in any way. It just costs three times as much to get a house.

The government should be liable for damages. It costs hundreds of thousands to move to a different province. I moved out to a distant suburb because I couldn't afford to get in closer. I rent to find home. Now it's ridiculous. I can't keep up.  Will the US except refugees?

All this quantitative easing. All this money printing. It's ended up in houses in Canada. I'm suppose to borrow to keep up with it? Debt ceilings won't affect foreign mortgages.

Mr. Harder is off the mark. Being a sleazeball  seems de riguer for being a senator.   Like Queen Pamela of Cottage at lac wadena who will never be charged , she and Sen Puffster from the cottage on PEI will remain as Senators,  tho their eligibility to be senators for provinces they hadn't lived in for decades strikes everyone as odd ....save for Stephen Harper and former Mulroney accomplice and now Kevin O"Sleasy cheerleader....come on down Marjorie LeBReton.

And  sleazoid First Nations attack dog and non convicted rapist and thug who claimed per diems  for living where he wasnt really resident Patrick Brazeau. And who can forget secret committee document changers David Tkachuk and Carolyn double hyphen Olsen. And  those approx 38 other senators with questionable expense accounts, and Lib and Con party bagmen and others who use their senate offices to conduct political campaigns au contrare to senate rules and common decency.

Add it up, The largest senate voting bloc ..crooked.

Shar,
Your first thought is my final conclusion.  The simple truth is that if bishops still need to be told that the sexual abuse of minors is heinously wrong, or told how to "handle" such cases, or need "education" in these matters, the problems in the church go much deeper than "just" this scandal.

How could a man possibly rise to the level of bishop, archbishop or even Cardinal WITHOUT knowing, in the deepest fiber of his being, that abuse is wrong?  How could such a think happen even once in the church, much less so often that the church spends years developing training for them?  There is something so backwards here, so intrinsically terrifying, as to call to question the very nature of the church itself, as currently defined by the bishops.  They STILL seem to want it both ways: a recognition of the problem (along with plenty of "wink-wink, nudge-nudge" responses), coupled with absolute moral, ecclesiastical powers over the laity.  Accountability - "nah."

Perhaps.

Germany, Italy and Spain had to have their national socialist leaders for a while to learn that it was not the right direction. France had a mild brush with it under Vichy but that doesn't count I guess.


We should stay out of a nightmare region like this.

I feel that putting young Canadians in a place where many will likely die, is not worth Justins desire for some weird international recognition he feels he "needs".


It may be a coincidence- or maybe not.  But Toronto Dominion is calling in lines of credit.  I know one person who had a sizeable line of credit, and TD sent a blunt email saying that they had either to pay it off or accept a 4% rise in the rate of interest - effective in 30 days.

Is Toronto Dominion clearing the books to make room for this investment?  If so there will be a lot of people whose lines of credit are being adjusted in this way.


jgd777 says that once people get hooked "on the government teat it is almost impossible to take it back." (The key word here is "almost".)
Moreover, at some point in our lives, just about all of us will need a teat to suck on (e.g., Puerto Rico and Houston, as well as for police and fire protection, national defense, etc.). After all, isn't that why we have a government?
Say 'Yes'.

How difficult would it be for cardinal Muller to respond with a letter which acknowledges receipt of a letter and that it was forwarded to the diocesan bishop for his action?  Not doing shows  disrespect.


Dominus Iesus said that "the ecclesial communities which have not preserved the valid Episcopate and the genuine and integral substance of the Eucharistic mystery, are not Churches in the proper sense". That was seen by the Lutherans, among others, as a gratuitous insult.

McDonald's could offer the world's best coffee for a penny, but no one would want it. The brand is just tainted; when I say "McDonald's" you hear "greasy polyester deep fried Walmart". A trip to the McDonald's counter is something you get through, at best, but never something positive.

I'll pay the extra buck and walk into a nice place where I'll be treated half decently.


It's neither. It's a puerile attempt to evade facts, of history, philosophy, criminology, etc, etc, because the person's intellectual position cannot be defended on any of those. The shift to falsely claiming superior moral standing is the last gasp of the intellectually bankrupt.

The only relevant moral part of the argument is justified moral outrage, like mine, at such a blatant appeal to emotion contra reality.

The larger moral issue is liberty. What is immoral is to attack liberty using known falsehoods and misrepresentations while simultaneously claiming some kind of mantle of progressive enlightenment, when it is individual liberty itself that is the foundation -of- the Enlightenment.


Do you seriously believe that these tax changes were concocted at a round table of cabinet ministers?

This only proves how far left these media folks are that are really run by the Democrats.


I disagree - nobody will be refused - at least not at first.

We will get to fund government lawyers - and the lawyers AND accommodation for the penniless "refugees" - plus all the court costs, plus-plus-plus...

There will have to be a large turnaround for buses on the US side of the border, in order to accommodate the flood of "refugees" headed for southern Manitoba.

If anybody wants to see the future of Canada, look at what's happened in Germany, France, etc with endless waves of people just walking in. We're a small population country - what are we going to do when half a million people just "show-up" over 6 months to a year?


Yeah Jane, I'm in total agreement with shisaisama here.  You need to stop blaggarding discrimination like it's a bad thing.  You've been totally brainwashed by secularists like Martin Luther King Jr and Pope Francis and their unnatural pro-decency, anti-discrimation bias.
Discrimation hasn't always been a bad thing!  Check out this amazing God-centered, pro-discrimation quote:

"In short, the results of miscegenation are always the following: (a) The level of the superior race becomes lowered; (b) physical and mental degeneration sets in, thus leading slowly but steadily towards a progressive drying up of the vital sap. The act which brings about such a development is a sin against the will of the Eternal Creator. And as a sin this act will be avenged."

It comes from one of our greatest pro-discrimination, anti-secularist leaders!

I see. So the construction industry workers who earn money off of the billions in overseas cash flooding into Vancouver-region real estate, those folks are given a newspaper article to scream about the economic dangers of cooling Canada's housing market.

Please.

I suppose the next logical step will be to give air time to asbestos miners to scream about the economic dangers of banning asbestos, and to give air time to oil workers to scream about the economic dangers of solar power, and to give air time to fried chicken employees about the economic dangers of having plentiful hamburger joints.

Sorry, guys, but the billions of dollars of overseas money flooding in, it is up-ending the Canadian dreams of too many working families of buying a house. If fixing that means some construction workers lose their jobs, then it is long past time for that axe to fall.


This is an old ,and over used, argument. It pretends that Alaska is not being pillaged by the oil companies, and that they are concerned about the 700,000 residents of the state. Our state Government has NOT built any infrastructure that is not directly related to commerce, or has matching federal grant monies. The Republican Legislature has run our government like a failing business that they are pushing into bankruptcy. 40 years have gone by with a request for natural gas distribution to lower the cost of doing business , other than oil, for all residents of the state. Our Republican representatives see us as their customers base rather than constituents that they represent. The state's economy stops at the paperwork on their desks, and their secret agreements with oil companies. They sold thousands of acres of subdivision land to individuals, but provided no access or infrastructure to support the buyers.Unlike the work that was done for the oil companies, and mines.We are betrayed.


The Union was doomed from the start. Monetary policy cannot be a one size fits all.


There are too many people who either don't give a hoot what others think or believe "the end justifies the means."


The only "drivel" exists in this comment devoid of "fact" and clueless of the "racial oppression" in this nation justifying white supremacy uber alles.  Here is some "real" statistics:  Number of firearm-related deaths in the U.S., from 1968 to 2015 - 1,516,863.
Number of American deaths in all the wars fought by the U.S. from 1775 to 2015 - 1,396,733


There's class warfare for sure - and it's the 1% that's winning.


Re Bannon as Trumps chief strategist:  (we are very timely today)

..."The announcement has produced intense hand-wringing in Washington and sharp denunciations from political observers and strategists critical of Breitbart News's close association with the alt-right, a fringe conservative movement saturated with racially insensitive rhetoric and elements of outright white nationalism.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a hate-watch group, has accused Breitbart of explicitly embracing ethno-nationalism. After Bannon's elevation was announced, the law center tweeted several controversial stories written by Breitbart under Bannon's control, including a piece published two weeks after the mass killing at a black church in Charleston, S.C., last year: “Hoist it high and proud: the confederate flag proclaims a glorious heritage.” Washington Post today

Yes - inequalities do exist Broncos. They do indeed. Let's start to make it even shall we? Starting this week, let all National Fascist League players donate 75% of their salaries to organizations who are not as "equal" economically as the NFL is. Starting this week, let's "equalize" the salary pay band of the NFL to come down to national standards most hard working Americans live with every day. Ya think you're gonna see these players put their money where their "equality" mouths are? I don't think so. My god the hypocrisy of these people is unreal.

Due to Sen. Harry Reid eviscerating the filibuster, AND he was warned against doing it because it may come back to bite him, the Democrats have no leg to stand on when it comes to Trump's appointees.

That being said, many departments need to be eliminated - Education, EPA, Energy - to name a few. The VA should also go. Give every veteran a card, payable by the Federal Gov't to go to ANY hospital, medical facility, psychiatric or psychological counseling services.

Graham a RINO. LMAO No he just sees reality. The fact you called them says all that is wrong the modern conservative movement. If you don't fall in line 100% you are shunned.


Odd that people disagree with one the most basic, and well established, population statistics. In Canada the male - female ratio is about 1.06 boys to every girl at birth and drops to 4 men for every 5 women by age 65. Total ratio for all ages is 0.98 : 1

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_sex_ratio

Issac Asimov noted that there used to be a cultural incentive for males to drop out of school. In the past dropping out and getting a blue collar job and an income was sort of like becoming an instant adult man socially, but prematurely.

That attitude is a recipe for a lifetime of lower or no income in the age of Education Without End for most jobs worth having.

Trump is the best thing to happen to CNN since the OJ Trial, do you think they want that to end?
Has MSNBC ratings ever been higher? The media is not going to easily give that up. Trump created the monster that will consume him.


All tax credits should be eliminated.  If a project needs our cash to make it viable then that resource should stay in the ground.  Currently we are using our savings to pump our oil.  It is beyond foolish.  Going after the permanent fund without radically fixing oil taxes is just a non-starter.  Raising the minimum from 4% to 5% is hardly a fix.  30% tax on the gross value would be a fix.


His policies nearly caused another Great Depression.

As I understand it,Colo3, this initiative hasn't cost $53 million. Not yet.  It's timeline hasn't run out...still a good distance to go.  Shut it down now, save the bucks. Some indigenous people have given the government license to do so: they aren't happy. Want it to start again.

Ok...do so--under different terms and leadership.


I agree that Goodale & Garneau are capable. However, Goodale is already up to his armpits in portfolio rescues, and if Garneau still wants to lead the party the last thing he'll do is prop up the current fool.


Re the Nazis and Communists in the long ago world of Germany pre-1933, it's difficult to actually characterize the Communists as the ones reacting against the Nazis in the years of fighting and murder that went on in that country.  The Communists were already well established and agitating for revolt across Europe after the USSR was established, the Nazis arose in Germany as a nationalist alternative, fuelled by the rage many Germans felt at their humiliation after the WW1.

Analogies between that time and current white supremacists and the 'antifa' people are deeply misleading and the players a bit delusional if they're casting themselves in the roles of those long ago antagonists.


I am awaiting for some substance from you right wingers.  The terrorists who attacked us on 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia.  Trump's ban leaves out Saudi Arabia because he has business dealings with the Saudis.  The ban has nothing to do with terrorism.  Trump is throwing red meat to his racist voters.

Your retirement may vary.

I got a cold call from an IT recruiter asking me if I knew (my wife's name). They wanted to know because the person who replaced her (and the lady she job shared with) died of flesh eating disease with 4 months of retiring. The job share lady was happily retired and not interested in coming back as a contractor. My wife was interested, as long as it didn't interfere with her sewing and fabric art.

This is another one of those cases where, yep, the accused was guilty as all get out but the police had no business acting as judge and jury.
That's why we have safeguards in place-some of the police, (not all) are a bit thick. It doesn't matter what the fuzz think someone has done-they are not allowed to beat them up.


We do not need an income tax. It is the most unfair method of taxation. I will always oppose those who support it. The income tax was supported by Marx & Engels in their "Communist Manifesto".  A direct tax on individuals was opposed by our Founding Fathers because it is detrimental to individual liberty.

The "confusion" is due to their not liking or accepting what Francis said.


Man-slaying conquest of a kingdom bequeaths legitimacy when it is acknowledgeand affirmed by foreign powers. A bloodless coup acquiesced to by the last of the line ended it, also when acknowledged and affirmed by foreign powers. The big dogs of the world are those the other dogs recognize, and that's about it. What's new on earth is popular sovereignty of federated states under self-imposed written constitutions.  Thought madness, and considered doomed to fail by the world's man-slayer-descendent monarchs, our United States has become one of the longest-surviving continuous governments on earth.  We may sing of Kamehemeha defended by spears, and may also sing of the banner so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming.  Let's pray that the two lines continue in peace and prosperity with the leisure and knowledge to enjoy anachronistic arcana like this throughout our and our descendents' lives.


I was shredding old tax forms the other day. In my 1995 papers was a flier from the PFD office that came with our PFD check that year bemoaning a state budget deficit of $528 million. It noted we have a deficit "because we spend too much" and it noted we needed go do something NOW.  So 21 years later we did nothing but expand government, fund boondoggle projects, and spend money like drunken saillors. Here we are!

Instead of applying the tax to the amount paid in federal income tax, why not apply it to the adjusted gross income before things like the earned income credit and a few others kick in?  That way EVERYBODY could share in the fun.  If you earn enough to fill out a tax form (ie get a dividend) you get to chip in. If you want you can deduct PFD checks before you apply the tax. That way you dont pay state tax on the federal tax on money paid by the state. It makes no sense to give out money then tax us on it.

The tax will increase state spending by $15 million to oversee it!!


Yes they did turn down the federal government's bait and switch Medicaid expansion. They understood the financial risk their state would be taking by accepting it. The new bill would put the state in charge of how to distribute the Medicaid assistance as compared to the central governments requirements.
The Heritage foundations plan would have had little to no effect on the existing health insurance plans as compared to what Obamacare complete shake up and chaos it created. The word "mandate" is about tho only thing that Heritagecare and Obamacare have in common. it is "what" was mandated that make any comparison argument invalid.


This is very likely Trump's last year in office, so this appointee should not even be given a hearing.


They have to start throwing out these frivolous lawsuits, seems to be becoming an epidemic, and a goldmine for lawyers and the families who should really be hanging their heads in shame, not acting like victims.

Kalaheo is the guy lying. I have always validated the truth that I talk about. He's been lying since day 1.


You're history is correct but, if memory serves me, ended with the last Catholic European monarch. Since then, no civil gov't in the world has been granted this privilege by a pope. Zen's fears rests on a communist, totalitarian gov't having this power. What has changed in the last century is having a pope who wants a "diplomatic coup" in achieving a "breakthrough" with China.


I suggest you look up the definition of annexation.  It may not have been forceful but it was still annexation.  Besides...So what?  Is there something wrong with critics of how the process evolved?

U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 2, Paragraph 2: "He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to  make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments."  Is the Congress attempting to take the powers belonging to President Trump as described in our Constitution?  Wonder what the House will do on its vote next week?  I don't understand the Senate GOP, for they seem out of wack.


When Angelo Bruno was killed in Philly, John Cardinal Krol refused him getting a Christian burial. Bruno openly flouted the laws of the Catholic Church. There are consequences to our actions.


The one we "reject"? You are truly delusional. It is one thing say--as heretical as it may be-that a dogmatic teaching has "changed", but to say that you and your modernist brethren "hold to the true Catholic faith" is beyond absurd. Unless, of course, you mean the heterodox post Vatican II faith.


The intriguing question for me is how the true conservatives in Congress will deal with Trump. They know he isn't really one of them, but they also know that a president of your own party (even if in name only) is a precious commodity not to be undermined.

That's the weird dynamic of this election. Very few Republicans like or believe in Trump, but they're stuck with him. Do they follow him down the road of disaster, or do they grow a set and stand up to him?

The tension of the next four years won't be about liberalism vs. conservatism. It will be about patriotism vs. opportunism and how willing Republicans in Congress are to compromise both their principles and the good of the nation in order to keep the White House.


What "law" would that be?


Garbage man nobody is asking your opinion.  A lot of people obviously have the intellectual curiously to require facts before assessing judgment.  Quite obviously this isn't the Anchorage your desire with all white people, lots of bigoted churches and absent of drugs or alcohol.  But I got news for you because that ship has set sail. You're fighting a losing battle.  Sit tight in bayshore while the animals in East Anchorage keep fighting to live another day.  Your obsessions are only going to increase as you move further and further away from reality.

The idea is to try to project a trendline- anyone can look back and come out looking like a genius.

This economy is built on assets inflated by virtual 0% interest rates and no one, least of all the politicians and central bankers, know how to unwind them and let the market decide on the price of renting capital and the allocation of resources.

The key question is how much longer can the East Bloc style political interference in the economy go on bailing out big finance and free spending politicians.


So when tens of thousands of women in Canada protested against Trump (mind you, I support those women), would that be okay as well?

I thought the freedom of speech was not selective. I have had Iranian friends protest against the government of Iran. There was a time when regular Canadians protested against Apartheid, even though the Canadian government had a decent relationship with the South African one.

Does the home country's political rivalries apply to the UK? The French Presidential candidate (Macron) campaigns in the UK among French voters. Shouldn't that be condemned too? Or does it come down to Muslim countries should not be allowed to campaign among its citizens in a foreign country? American leaders (I believe) often go to their military bases in foreign countries and campaign there.


I love people who think they can somehow control everything. Good luck with that one

He offended them, after all, by trespassing on private property. The double standards of our legal system indeed makes a mockery of justice!


You need to READ ADN's anti-stalking and harassment policy.


Thats youre problem right there.  You want to live in the days when everyone got their news from the "mainstream media".  Thats hardly the case anymore.  You included "Associated Press, The New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, Time, and Newsweek" in your list and I fail to see how any of those are any different than the WSJ or NY Post or The Hill - all of which lean more conservative than liberal.

Stop playing the "the media is biased against conservatives!" act.  Its not real or relevant anymore - especially when we have Republicans controlling all aspects of government right now.

Just because you dont like the news, does not mean that its not real, or relevant or true.  Thats where this whole "alternative facts" crap came from and is whats a real cancer on our society.  Its like people who believe the world is flat are just expressing their "alternative facts".


Building apartments in Israeli cities and villages is not "cruel, criminal course".

Bombing Israelis and villages with rockets, sending suicide bombers and killers - is exactly "cruel, criminal course".

May be Palestinian Arabs should read Hosea 8:7. But likely they won't.


I would not buy anything from Nike, nothing physical and certainly not their propaganda!

How ironic that a multi billionaire is supported financially by teenage girls who barely make enough money to buy rice.


You and I


Look it up for yourself


What a prize this guy is turning out to be.


I am pleasantly surprised that NCR has not attempted to imply or express that capital punishment is an immoral sanction. Holy Church has always taught that a death sentence can most certainly be just.


Hater! Surely not ALL five?


Burn the assailant. This is unacceptable.


Him?  Are you sure?


Regardless of how it played out between Obama and the governor, I'm certain you'll cast Obama in the worst possible light. And your assertion that I think that eight (now 14) deaths does not merit a presidential visit is something you just made up.


Not to worry as by the time elections come up here the results of the Trump experiment will be widely known so could put JT back in power without much effort or not.
So watch the Trump experiment carefully and place your bets accordingly.


Disturbing to know that the animal will now live out its life locked in a room. Selfish pet people.


No, Rochdale68.  What's disgusting is that despite the seemingly endless death toll, nothing changes.


Look! Another scientist!


The gender inequality back then in the forces was not shocking, but now it is. I doubt there is no greater gender disparity than in the military. Why the brouhaha over women in STEM while never is a word spoken about the lack of women in the military? The Forces are in hurry to "genderfy" the top brass but where are the frontline military women ready to sacrifice their lives for their country like the men ?
It's 2017 after all.


Rosie losing his cool here - using long term fundamental metrics to argue for short squeeze which is technical in nature. Forgot to mention the known unknown - how much toxic subprime home loans sitting in the banking system?


Leave it to a cop and judge to increase costs to taxpayers. Ordinary criminals have nothing on government officials when it comes to imposing a cost on society.


Supporters. At least Trump will benefit (bigly) from all the grifting opportunities he gains from "winning" the election. Think more illegal scams like Trump U, with even more money involved and spineless and depraved GOP like Yertle and Ryan doing nothing about it.

His supporters? Well, it's not like his foolish tweeting and race-baiting will be paying their bills. And with Trump enabling the radical/faith based notions of governance, their situation is likely to get worse.

Tiki torch rallies defending statues of golden calfs, er, I mean, those that sought to continue slavery is not a booming industry. It's more like the last gasp of the Angry White Male that has yet to face its continued slide into irrelevance.


Just demolish the pool. Keep the facade and canon. Don't use any more concrete, steel, or rebars as they don't last forever. Build a magic island exactly like the Alamoana one. It was beautifully built and is still as new as the day it was built. Boulders, dirt, and sand are Nature's building blocks and it's free. Having a park would be excellent for private weddings, volleyball contests, exercising classes, suntanning, or floating around in the lagoon-like pool. Might add a Zippy's to help pay for maintenance costs or charge users, too. One thing you'll need to figure out is how to make more parking spaces for the increased users. Try widening Kalakaua Ave and make diagonal parking then jack up the meter fees to limit the traffic to more manageable levels. This Natatorium has been is disrepair way too long. Do something with it!


Cannabis has been around for THOUSANDS OF YEARS.  Its actually mentioned in the bible.  http://iahushua.com/T-L-J/MariC.htm


KHON2 said it was "she."  Witnesses said she was speeding and weaving in and out of traffic.


A naval facility will do many of those things but it certainly won't ruin a view that's already marred by abandoned and demolished buildings, docks, and lumber mills. If the waterfront actually had parks and shops and other attractions, I could see the argument. If anything, you should be grateful that people who are defending the country will be patronizing the town.


Jaguar, Aston Martin, Caterham, McLaren, Rolls, Bentley, Lotus.... all made in the UK. Most no longer owned by Brits, but still made there.

The Vauxhall Astra is also made in the UK, which is a bit of a black eye.

Nissan, Honda, Toyota also make cars in the UK, including Europe's best selling SUV, the Nissan Qashqai


The Register-Guard and reporter, Sherri Buri McDonald, are to be commended for ethical coverage of this deeply unethical affair.


Electing Trump is not a solution to anything unless you are very rich. Besides, Americans elected Hillary Clinton by giving her three million more votes than Trump. The Electoral College system is what put Trump in power.


I think it's a bit misleading to say that blacks are 4.1/7.5 times more likely than whites to have probation/parole violations, respectively.

From the report, those figures are based on the numbers of probation/parole violations as a proportion of the *total* adult populations of each group. On the other hand, if you look at the numbers of violations as a proportion of the number of people in each group *already on probation/parole*, blacks are only 1.2/1.4 times more likely than whites to have probation/parole violations, respectively.

Of course, this is reconciled by noting that the proportions of the black population on probation and parole are, respectively, 3.4 and 5.5 times the corresponding proportions in the white population. Whether this fact is symptomatic of systemic racism is debatable, but this article seems to suggest that the disproportionality is *because* blacks are significantly more likely to violate probation/parole than whites, which misrepresents the report.


BS Andrew !


No, not at all. I'm advocating the conference system take the initiative to modernize and become efficient while there is still something to fix. To borrow your house analogy, modify the offending rooms before they decay the whole house. One of the first studies about restructuring our layers was done in the 1970's.  The thought then was that we didn't need that many layers because of "modern technology".  40 years later, we are still structured the same way in the era of the internet, virtual meetings, email, texting, etc.  If one of the roles of the conference layers is to disseminate information, then continuing a structure that was set up before the telephone was invented is really crazy.

Our organizational structure has, and always will be voluntary. Yet, it is operated as if it is mandatory.  It is the job of the "company" to produce a product that the "customers" will pay for.  If they don't, they will continue to disintegrate while lamenting the lack of support.


Seems Mr. Welch has his a few problems with civil discourse.

He calls Hillary Clinton a whore.

In this week's Eugene Weekly, he calls Carmen Urbina "right-wing tool."

As he feels free to use this type of language, perhaps Mr. Welch will have no objection to anyone who refers to him as a misogynist.

-- Paul


Quite frankly, it's impossible to know what's going on - until something actually happens.  That almost all the current terrorist activity is the responsibility of certain factions of a particular religious faith does meant that, bills in Parliament notwithstanding, those are the people our governments should be and are looking at to prevent the next attack. I suspect there's a lot more that COULD have already happened that we never hear about, but was stopped due this vigilance.

Of course, on the other hand, it's sometimes hard to tell who is profiting enormously from all these security measures, and how warranted they all really are.

And these of course are the twin prongs of confusion in our society today, and have a lot to do with the suspicion so many now have of authoritative statements about such things as national security.


Many natives really do expect modern medicine to cure them of anything. They think the doctor on the reserve can fix cirrhosis of the liver caused by years of alcohol abuse. They think there is a ready medicine for heart disease caused by smoking. They think the doctor should be able to fix broken bones incurred in domestic violence in just a couple of visits. They don’t want to be told to stop drinking. They tell themselves that if the doctor can't fix their health problems, its because the doctor is withholding treatment. After all, "They cure white people don't they". Many expectations are simply not realistic and pouring endless money into that bottomless pit won't change attitudes.


Mr. Stratton highlights the financial Titanic on which we Alaskans sail into economic ruin and contrasts this dooming scenario with a past Century Alaska Legislature levying a $10 and $30 predator control surcharge.  This to keep right on slaughtering bears and wolves from helicopters - wolves at $13,000 per kill in eastern interior -  in the perpetual never-ending barbaric holocaust tolerated by most Alaskans who know little or nothing and exuberantly executed by ADFG  nameless biologist-shooter lapdogs of the Board of Game. The tally is high and growing on the Great Alaskan Wasted Resources meter. This is wildlife slaughter at it's worst including of the iconic Alaska license plate bear, put into continuing prolific waste, shameless, damaging to Alaska's reputation as a wildlife wonderland, by our legislature, facing a pending crash. It is wrong, wrong, wrong, just as wrong as  it is out of tune tone deaf legislature who put the surtax into this deadend but endless predator control.


more myths from the myth man...........sorry wrong guy, but same story,  Fake News from john rice, aloha


Didn't a couple of candidates this last election cycle talk about bills should be no more than a page or two?


Do you own a tape measure Jeffrey?.... it` a device that measures distances. Now think....


As a former VPSO, I can tell you that it is a very big deal to law enforcement.  Fully 99+% of my calls were in some way related to alcohol.  We actively sought out bootleggers, and confiscations do occur, especially on felony-level importation.  I know of at least one now-VPSO craft that was foreited by a bootlegger.

The problem is that for every avenue you shut down, a new one crops up.  Shut down the bootleggers and new ones spring up to fill the void and in the time it takes them to get up and running, someone else is making homebrew.  That's because we have the same underlying problem that made Prohibition fail; the demand is simply strong enough to overpower the enforcement and interdiction efforts against it.  Without creating a totalitarian regieme that breaks the Bill of Rights in more ways that I can count, that won't change.


I'm a Vietnam War veteran, and use the VA system, now that I'm retired.  Used to be on Kaiser pre-retirement.

Personally, I haven't had a bad medical care  experience yet.  In general, the care had been quite good.  I like my doctor.  The nurses there are pretty.  ☺

However,  I have experienced annoying stuff, specifically an inconsistent phone answering system at the clinic that I frequent, i.e. the press "1" through "5" for ...routine, then subroutines; long waits; and full voicemail box incidents.  I've mentioned it to clinic staff, and I'll see if they fixed it when I schedule my next phydical.


In the Netherlands you are also responsible for the first 385 euros of health care you use. Maybe that keeps the numbers down....also you are supposed to see your gp before going to the ER.


"Snowflake" is an epithet used by people who can't frame a logical argument. Such people are ignorant.

Trump's collusion with the Russians in hacking the election hasn't been "debunked" in any way. That investigation is ongoing. Mr. Mukavetz has received his coaching from Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Breitbart "news" (lies), who all picked up the ball from a lie propagated by an alt-right blogger. Whether there was any collusion hasn't been determined. However, James Comey testified that Russians interfered in the US election with Putin's knowledge. Trump most certainly has many Russian connections going back years, and Trump's associates have accepted gifts and honors from Putin and his underlings.

Regarding impeachment, that is a political operation. The current House leadership wouldn't impeach Trump for any reason.


I was hoping you would mention the transitional technologies you are supposedly employing to heat your home. Sorry to inform you but they were all made possible by the "oil Monopoly". See if you can get the sun or the wind to produce the materials needed for those technologies. As for anti-Native American Rants,  my family was forcibly relocated from Tennessee to Oklahoma some time in 1836-37 under the Indian Removal Act of 1830. This is where my great grandfather died in a dirty reservation clinic. My grandfather was a decorated (bronze star, two purple hearts) WW2 veteran who fought for the Stars and Stripes to protect your right to mouth vomit as much as you do.  So do not pretend to preach to me about rants, rascism or anything else for that matter. Says me to you Dog feathers! Probably the only real difference between you and I judging by your intellect is the large chip on your shoulder.


I would like to expand on that a little bit...separation of power means the three branches of government, Legislature, Executive and Judicial, functioned separately and independently. If separation of power means top level official have to be disloyal to the commander in chief, our country will fall apart. Allie, don't let your personal hatred of Donald Trump impairs your ability to ration logically.


Petrows
You say (The word came down from on high to MSM). I am providing, obscurely I guess, an example of word on high coming down to the media. On high controls what is published on pensions.

Billions of dollars involved, and what is worse is the denigration of people, in this case public servants.


The large majority of people are dumb. Only about 25% of the population are relatively smart and only 5% can be considered really intelligent. Twitter just confirms this.


Yes LE, these only amounted to $57 Million. City officials like the rail better as it hides these small amounts behind $Billions.
But, now they can reissue the contracts to others that will do it again, and so can dip their beaks once again.  This State is completely corrupt.  Nothing but a legal Mafia.


For as the Gospels tell us, Jesus did not give a rat's ass about undocumented immigrants.


They collect their 'credits' differently...Massive contract increases and a better lock on their sector of the labor market.

Remember the contract with IBEW that Mayor Begich penned?


Take a long hard look.  It is triggered white males that are the biggest threat to the security of peaceful Americans.


Sorry you can't handle being exposed to a differing opinion, Snowflake. If you do someday find yourself confronted by a jerk who is "trying to ram his values down your throat" tell him to get stuffed.

Problem solved.


I hope trump puts the CAW out of business - dias is scared - he knows the koreans and japanese make better cars with more value - ford, gm, FCA are dinosaurs - nothing to do with fuel economy - they're just crap cars made by uneducated neanderthal union types - buy foreign - its the way to go


Who cares about 2003? Klein eliminated most of Alberta's deficit ten years earlier, in 1993 (fiscal 1993-94).  By fiscal 1994-95, Alberta posted a surplus.


These chemicals are bad news. They are related to solvents once used widely in dry cleaning and there were no rules about disposing of them. Many tons of them were just dumped for years. They do not break down and continue to disperse through the ground indefinitely. There are probably thousands of contaminated sites which are unknown and the cleanup of which would cost huge sums, even if any agency were undertaking the task.

"Canada, always femnist! Ha!"

Here's another fallacious false dichotomy, that a country is either "always feminist", or it isn't at all.

There is no dichotomy, only a continuum, and Canada is one of the most gender egalitarian, Muslim countries among the least.


I'm sure Mariota has his opinions but stays neutral. He has a number of lucrative sponsors.  They would be very disappointed if he took a knee while playing the National Anthem.  I don't think Infiniti was too happy with Curry.


Reuters wire. Keep yer pants on.


I am extremely grateful  for & perfectly satisfied with the service of the Round Towner & the driver.  I am disabled & have used this service for over 3-1/2 years, a couple/few times a week, & the service has always been exemplary, as well as extremely affordable & frankly, irreplaceable.  It sounds like there was miscommunication somehow regarding the wheelchair.  He is only one person, & would need to switch vehicles if there were an oversized wheelchair or special accommodation needed, & would need to know this in advanced.  Plenty of elderly & other disabled people I've shared rides with are also extremely grateful for & pleased with the service & the driver.  I have never had an issue sitting in the back seat, as this is where all passengers of the Round Towner always sit.  It has always been completely emptied, with exception of passenger(s).  He has gone out of his way to make sure I get where I need to, when I need to, despite being super busy & an essentially one man show.


I fully support police opening files of sexual assaults IF they lay charges of libel and perjury against women who have lied and mislead the police.


But when the "saint" actually lies about what the "heretic" said, then he should not be extolled.  Cyril said that Nestorius denied the divinity of Christ. He did not.


There is also a little thing called the ALR along with very little land due to geography. Both those have a huge impact. I don't feel sorry for those who just want to flip and make a big profit. Long term home owners are going to make a big profit regardless. Long term stability for local residents and potential buyers trumps the few looking to make a short term quick buck.


Sure it is, just not in power of the Liberal sinking ship. lol.


The Comments attack dogs continue to march as their demigod flails wildly to find the most incompetent people to serve his fascist needs to destroy the U.S.A.  The only methods these miscreants know is violence and hatred.  Now, they can feel comfortable to disparage all who speak of peace and accommodation.  They focus on one word to snarl and spit with maximum vitriol as is their only response to anyone refusing to bow down to their dictates.  Hate and violent threats won a rigged election.  Clinton leads the popular vote by millions, but the ALEC Koch hijacking of state political systems canceled all possibility of sane governing at the national level.  The Old plantation South rose again to wreck the Republic and the Comments attack dogs glory in the possibilities for theocratic dictatorship.  One lone female columnist is selected to bear the brunt of the insanity that is now rampant throughout the nation.  Good Luck, America!


Rail has been promoted as concentrating urbanization urbanization along the rail line in order to keep the country country.  Everyone who supports rail should oppose this Haleiwa proposal, which would turn agricultural land into housing.  The silence of rail supporters on this issue demonstrates that the reasons given for rail are fiction.  The multi-million dollar rail public relations program concealed the real purpose of rail -- to make big profits for big moneyed interests.


Saw this story on CBC's The National last night, and wow!  The CBC said Franklin was just "retiring".  Today: good news!  She just decided to stop touring.  Recording studios would still appear to be on the agenda.  Excellent.  Rock On, Aretha.

A lot of studio time since 1968, but I will never EVER forget the impact "Lady Soul" album made on me--and still does.  Chain of Fools...Natural Woman...Never Loved A Man...Since You've Been Gone...   Number 84 on Rolling Stone′s list "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time".

Believe it.


I think to get to your 20% PERA employer contribution you need to add in employer  contributions for health insurance, etc. You still ignore the Medicare tax. Public employers contribute ZERO to anything but PERA. Why is that so hard to understand?


Ever read any history?  Have you ever asked who would run the commune?    Try Animal Farm by George Orwell as a primer on what might go wrong with your plan....


What happened to the good ole days when people fly peacefully? Now days a few screws are missing from their pathetic brains. Just throw them in the cargo hold with bread, water and a toothpick.


You know what is scaring me the "LEFT".     There is no limit to their hate, destruction of anyone who has a different opinion.   I'm so disgustd and tired of their hate.  Just turn on CNN, MSNBC, CBC, CTV etc. etc. read the Globe , Toronto Star, etc.  filled with hate.  This morning I'm just tired of it all, I'm going to stop reading, stop watching.   President Trump MAGA (Make America Great Again).  I will be on your side quietly.


WTF? Doesn't Hawaii have enough problems for jokers like Chin to focus on? Quit worrying about world politics and FOCUS dude. Why get Hawaii into this battle? Honestly, the knuckleheads that are running this state...


ISIS claims responsibility for attacks it has nothing to do with for the status it brings them in twisted minds.

The terrorist in the Manchester bombing could have been inspired by any number of terrorist groups.


There is no "kidding" when dealing with the devil. Fighting evil with evil seems to be the historic and only effective way to respond to mans (demonic) inhumanities to man.

Trust me when I state that I am not proud of the immediate reactions, regarding retribution, that come to mind when hearing of those who allow themselves to be led by the dark one.

I thank the good Lord every day that I am not in a position of authoritative justice, as there would be an astronomical increase in executions being carrier out on a daily basis.


You talk as though this were some sports rivalry where your team winning or losing is all that matters.

This is a HUGE problem with the state of politics in the US today.  I don't care if my elected officials are Democrats or Republicans as long as they are good people who care more about their country than about partisan politics or themselves.

But if all you care about is running up the score for your home team I hear a lot of complaints about RINOs.   Are you really winning if you believe the other team has infiltrated yours so deeply that you cannot even do the one thing you've been trying to do for the last 7 years?

If the GOP keeps winning like this they're going to split in two which might help separate the extremist right wing from the more moderate rational right wing.   IMO that would be a great thing for our country.   And who knows?   It might send the Democratic Party the way of the Whigs.   I'm sure you'd like that too.


Correlation is not causation. One would assume a drug company would pay a doctor to oversee a clinical trial or enroll patients by looking at who are the most experienced ones ie. had the most patients (which means the most prescriptions). They would not be doing this sort of work in a market that had gone generic so those prescriptions would be branded.

So they look in a non-generic market for a doctor with lots of patients to enroll in their study and compensate them for their time. That would then show that 'drug company payments mirror brand name prescribing' not because the payment influences the prescribing but the prescribing is what allows the drug company to find the right patient population to complete the final trials to bring a drug to market.


The Dunkirk movie I like is Their Finest, opening in a couple of weeks. (Saw it last September @ TIFF.)


So, you'll believe the poll that supports your own position, right? Ha, ha, ha.


A guaranteed income would complement access to marijuana to everyone over age 18 nicely.


If I was a retailer who offered Air Miles, I would do my customers and my company a favour by dropping the programme.

Those Air Miles are NOT free.   They cost the retailer money and that cost is pasted on to the customer.

By dropping the programme, the retailer could draw more customers by offer lower prices overall or on promotions.


Fox "news" is entertainment featuring playboy bunnies with tons of makeup , and that's why it has high ratings. They do not follow proper journalism ethics, such as legitimate sourcing, and are not an accurate news source. They are responsible for brainwashing our electorate and putting an immoral crook in the WH.


Smoke and mirrors to give the richest millions in tax cuts.


Have we reached peak hypocrisy yet? Not by a long shot as long as Islamic taqiyya is still a pernicious aspect of Muslim reality.
Taqiyya is the moral duty of all Muslims to deceive infidels in any manner necessary to further Islam and defend the name of Muhammad. It is as intrinsic to Islam as charity is to Christianity, or introspection to Buddhism. Islam is the only religion that has such a thing and it is hard for western minds to comprehend that such a thing is possible, much less omnipresent. What they mean by "peace" does not include coexistence, but they are happy to let us think it does. Allah will always forgive taqiyya.


Does anyone here believe she wrote this nonsense herself?


Please change your name to delusional or blind follower or anything that describes your state of mind. Uneducated media? He loves the poorly educated, right? The more the better, so he should love the media too, no?


Krauthammer evidently has an extremely poor memory, and has forgotten that the Affordable Care Act was a Republican idea.

The concept of placing for-profit health insurance companies between a patient and her doctor is the most expensive and least effective health care approach possible, and guarantees failure.

Stephen J. Remington


Wow- right back 'atcha "it is like you want to show off your ignorance."

Pretty certain they are protected under this "without discrimination or segregation on ground of *national origin*" - all they have to say is they are German, and Hitler is their design choice.
 "Businesses can’t decide against some clients and not others — at least not those protected by civil rights laws..."
And:  "A conservative Christian can tell a client that he doesn’t approve of their nuptials. He can make public statements expressing his disdain for same-sex marriage" and then must make the cake.
religionnews.com/2015/01/26/three-reasons-baking-cake-not-free-speech-issue/

The Federal Civil Rights Act mandates “full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations of any place of public accommodation, without discrimination or segregation on the ground of race, color, religion, or national origin.”

So the question is, do you not understand the words?


I think Tory is doing what is necessary for his campaign and, ultimately, for the city.  Sadly, populist types must not be given a reason to vote against Tory and for Doug Ford.  Ford would use a refusal as a "them against us" platform to whip up Ford nation against Tory. I would rather have a Ford Arena that another Mayor Ford.


Justin wasnt hungover- he was actually quite sick.  I talked to some of the meet and greet girls who told me he had a raspy voice and really wasnt feeling well due to a cold.  More power to him for powering through it.  I enjoyed the concert and so did my husband.


The Canadian designed Orenda engine never got installed, would have sorted that out.  The first few flying models used US jet engines.


"Cross said he was a successful machinist before the recession hit and he lost his job and home. He still remembers the day he became homeless: June 5, 2008."

8 Years later he still cannot find a job and function in society. He can however earn the nickname "The Mayor" among the homeless population, he can sue via the ACLU, he can converse well enough with the journalists interviewing him. Cross seems to like whatever life style he is currently living and is angry that people who have to put up with leeches like him don't want them around anymore.


Jeannette Bishop's letter was typical of those who rail against the NRA because they see it as some mindless, monolithic entity that exists for the purpose of putting at least one firearm in the hands of every American. There's no debating or presentation of fact that will alter their position.
And then there's Ms. Bishop's last sentence implying that those who are members of the NRA are somehow sexually inadequate; typically this implies that  they have small penises for which they compensate with firearms. I wonder how and if this applies to NRA member who are women?


He was also part of the black market ohia trade operating out of Puna, around Pohoiki road. Look around in Kona and see all the ohia log lanai's and other uses of ohia logs for their decorative appearance. These Mosha cult groups around Pahoa are also into smuggling different vegetation in, from places like Australia. It might have been something as innocent as bringing in some potted eucalyptus trees but Rapid Ohia Death started in a 1-mile radius of Pohoiki road over 3 years ago. It could have been contained but DLNR decided to just observe. It was funny/sad to see Ohia Rapid Death start showing up in Kona and nobody seemed to notice it was being spread by transport from Pahoa to Captain Cook via Highway 11. Ellis was cutting down ohia from State land to use for things like horse corrals, jungalows, fences, lanai posts, etc. It is easy to figure out who the partners were, just look up Hardwood businesses in Pahoa, there are at least 3. Where is there hardwood in Pahoa? Oh, well.


I agree with you about double standards. I see plenty of that, from both sides, on these boards.

The wrinkle in this case, though, is that the order apparently claimed, falsely, that the Vatican supported the firing. That invited a corrective response from the pope. It also implied that papal approval was important.

The Knights went all in on this hand. You can't blame the Vatican for calling them on it.


This looks like trying to make a bus out of a 46 year old Buick and a 9 year old F150, again.


One might ask you the same question with a name like yours. Did you just create that to become a Trump Troll.


Michael, you worked for the Democratic Party so your insights are important. I hear that there are five other super delegates, other than the one who has come out for Bernie. Who are they and will they also follow the lead of the super majority? Hillary and Bernie each have specific policy histories and policy initiatives. You do Alaska women and men a disservice when you assume that they are guided merely by gender. Your also do a disservice to both Hillary and Bernie.


That's the funniest thing I've ever read.
Christians all the time say they are born Roman Catholic or Methodist or Episcopalian or Southern Baptist, etc.
It's just s way for you to selectively decide who is a Christian so that Christians are never wrong. You're the walking advertisement for "No True Irishman".


I don't think you do have a deep understanding.  You merely look for evidence that fuels your pessimism.


The F35 is the right air craft if we care about Canada's ability to defend itself and contributing to NATO... which will outline Trump...Maybe we will get it for the wrong reasons now, but better than getting the  inferior Super Hornet.


Re The Cassandras Are Warning Of Nuclear Doom – So Why Doesn’t Canada Seem To Care?

A very good question.
  Why no peace movement to stop these endless evil wars pushing the nuclear clock to midnight?

  War and the huge profits made by the military-industrial complex are the root of all economic and political evil. Thus, after 16 years of war, originated and perpetuated mostly by the West's economic and geopolitical greed, we are burdened with such disasters as voting in elections for the least of the evils. As well, we are burdened with leaders stealing the wealth of our nations from the people to bestow it on billionaires.
  The US has spent 5 trillion dollars on war, war, war while everything in their country deteriorates.

   Think the media isn't the enemy of the people?  The unthinkable has become mandatory. War is good and sexy; peace is worthless.  Canadians need to snap out of their self-deceiving illusions and start turning our values around.


For the cost of a two-year degree at one of the satellite campuses the state could send a student to Harvard for four years, all expenses paid. Does that make sense?


Ya, sorry, but this is out of order. The correct order for investigations is, Benghazi, IRS, and oh lord, there are so many I am having trouble keeping them in order in my head too. Anyway, once criminal proceedings start on the others, we can schedule investigations on this trivial matter.
Not that I actually think it its trivial unless compared to some of the real issues.


And I watched his speech as well as coverage of "the whole thing," which is why I know that while you may have watched his speech, you don't seem to have listened to what he actually said.


This whole story is odd, unless the upset den leader is Marble's brother or employee and the Cubmaster is her campaign chair. Sounds like the council is looking into the allegations and will hopefully find out the facts. All we have are assertions by a mom, and having spent a few years around Cub Scouts and their parents, one as a den mother, I'm not going to assume we have the entire story, or that the expulsion is actually related to the Marble meeting or video.


Surely as a CHRISTIAN, you agree that we are all created in Gods image,Shisaisama, so you are discriminating against God in your narrow interpretation of a flawed book called the bible. Seems like the Hale Koa should cancel this event at their facility.


I can't think of any. Dead popes do nothing except cost the church money.


Horrible disease,   my condolences to the family.


who benefits from the profits?  Eugene or the ralphs?


The really important statistic that is missing here is quite simple:

Far more youth are in university or college.

That is why there are a lot fewer people working but the unemployment rate stayed the same, because people who are school full-time and aren't working or looking for work are neither "employed" or "unemployed".

Other than that yes, those university-age youths who are not attending school full-time have lower paying jobs.  It turns out there aren't as many jobs for people with only a high-school diploma these days, which I don't think is all that big of a surprise to most.


Twenty years ago I made up my own sets of 15 (3 sets of 5) mysteries. I sometimes have prayed or meditated on these with or without the rosary.


Clinton leads by 12 points......


The loudest lament in the radtradisphere has been that 1) Amoris lacks clarity, ergo, 2) Answer the Dubia. They cite apparently conflicting implementations of its guidelines to support the claim that it's confusing. And they want the Pope to not only answer the Dubia but to explain the inconsistencies.

For starters, I doubt Pope Francis would want to back track and thus undo Amoris' work of overcoming the infantilization of the laity or subsidiarity approach to church polity.

This is to highlight how wrong the Dubia are in so many ways. To respond to them would 1) be a reversal of his trajectory of subsidiarity over against their hierarchicalism 2) uncharitably expose their category errors 3) dignify the premises of their interpretation, which ignored the Ignatian rule 4) dilute his leit motif of pastoral accompaniment, which repudiates hierarchicalism, legalism, rigorism.

As for "inconsistencies" in canonical applications & implementations of pastoral guidelines ... contd


You've drank too much of that alt-left kool-aid.


Is what i don't understand though is last month we used cashloancity.com to borrow $200 which saved us from being late on our credit card. If we would have been late they would have charged us $39 which would have put us over our limit and would have doubled those fees. The payday loan itself wasn't even close to those fees. As long as you use a legitimate site and pay it back what is the problem?


Anchorage needs surveillance camera system in major intersections. ASAP


stupid corrupt and economically inept, liberals empowered an idiot , conservatives and canadians are going to enable a real business leader who understands the economy


The Chinese do it too

Exactly, China is a dictatorship that is responsible for horrible atrocities against man kind, any less  of a thought process is painfully ignorant.  Trudope had his reality check with his  bozo  coment supporting Castro on an international stage , yes NO Davis either!!!!

800 hundred billion a year in trading with USA, 80 billion with China - their is no end game hear. America must work, like  it or not they are still our biggest trading partner by a long shot.

Go Trump and go Key Stone, the hell with the Marxist pig.


If we widen the subject to Oregon taxes in general, then this works, and wouldn't it be great if there was a major article about how Oregon taxpayers subsidize the wealthy logging industry?  Probably not going to happen, though.


While I am not a fan of our Prime Minister, in the interest of all Canadians,  I would like him to have success on  improving Canada's dismal economic outlook next year. However, I suspect he is incapable of this and the line of "He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches.” by George Bernard Shaw applies to Mr. Trudeau. He should have remained a teacher.


Anyone who is chronivally broke and desperate is more likely to commit a crime.

Don't you read the papers?


I can't think of anyone who would remember any posters posting " we will win the cup this year or this is the year or any variation of a statement like that. Because you made it up in youre head. Sorry but wrong again.!..


Liberal Tantrums have gone to fantasy land.

There is zero "racism" in this topic.
There is zero "evidence" except that there are those who will say and do anything to put negative light on the administration.

The divisiveness in the US is the Liberal media and Democrats. They can't discuss anything except calling people racists.

The Globe is just a mega horn for Liberal media.

"Betsey Ross Wright (born July 4, 1943) is an American lobbyist, activist, and political consultant who worked more than a decade for Bill Clinton in Arkansas.[1][2][3] She served as chief of staff to Governor Clinton for seven years. As deputy chair of the 1992 Clinton presidential campaign, Wright established the rapid response system that was responsible for defending Clinton's record in Arkansas and promptly answering all personal attacks on the candidate.[4] During the 1992 campaign, Wright coined the term "bimbo eruptions" to describe rumors alleging extramarital affairs by Clinton."


Not challenging the idea, but just did a quick google. Per at least one "find cheap gas" site the price in the Valley is about a dime per gallon more right now, $3 and change versus $2.90 and change. I think most people prize convenience more than a few cents savings, so going out of one's way to find those savings which may not add up to even $10-20 year may be more trouble than it's worth.

Without commenting on the tax itself, the math may work out. I dunno.


Heck yea it's poverty wages. In Iraq it came out to about 12/hr as an E5 in combat zone.

I don't think they should reinstate the draft because these soft generation we built ain't up to snuff. I think it's better for volunteers. There are not a lot of things worse than depending on somebody who doesn't want to be there and doesn't have your back. Can't force a brotherhood bond on somebody, just doesn't work. That's the key ingredient to success in battle.

I'm all about people getting education however they can. I see nothing wrong. Serve the country, get an education. Hell even a house...if you think the VA is giving disability benefits liberally...nah, they deny more times than not and it's very hard to deal with them and a lot of vets simply don't get those. I'm glad for the GI Bill...I'll walk with my masters next week. Semper Fi.


We did not miss it. We just hoped that he would be able to tell the difference between a TV show and reality.

We are still waiting to find out if he does appreciate the difference.


That is just an asinine statement:
"Trump is giving this nation back to the people." FIFY

Unless of course we define "people" as Trump and his family.

I can't understand how there are still people who believe that unregulated capitalism benefits anyone but the unregulated capitalists.


If you are NOT voting FOR Trump, you are voting for Corruption. No More Clinton's in the White House! Please watch Clinton Cash ~ Follow the money... It's FREE on YouTube. What the Clinton-Bush Foundation did (or didn't do in this case) for the people of Haiti is disgraceful.  They are as crooked as a dogs hind leg all at the American Tax payers expense.


"Now, I suspect that you do not know Ratliff and I further suspect that you do not have the evidential material before you. Nevertheless, in the end you proclaim that a life sentence for him works for you."

Well Outsider, one could make the exact same argument about your own stance regarding this issue too.   You get upset every time a man is arrested or sentenced to prison for abusing a woman or child.   Do you personally know all of these convicted sex criminals?   Can you vouch for them as being really good people?

Both of the charges that he faced were easily traced to him by the police.   He paid for the motel rooms with his credit card, and his phone was used to post the sex ads.   Are you claiming that someone else used his card and his phone without his knowledge?   That would really be quite a stretch.

Yet, you have a fit here over his sentencing, as if some sort of terrible injustice was performed.


Mueller mueller 😛


Why is it any of your business ?  Do you concern yourself with all the liberal billionaires or the social media liberals using Facebook, Twitter, etc. to further their causes ?

Like most left-wing frauds, guys like you have double-standards galore.


Good comments RG!

Indeed, Gov. Brown's politically correct Social Action Team stance appears divisive, financially risky, even elitist... especially for rural Oregonians. She is putting the well being of Oregon's rural timber dependent counties at risk as they seek renewal of federal Secure Rural School and Payment in Lieu of Taxes funds.

Most rural counties in Oregon voted for Trump, like Douglas County where Trump was favored nearly three to one over Hilary.

Brown should begin acting as a governor for all Oregonians and not just urban "liberals".


Friend, perhaps the "some of them that stand here", and who "stand here" now, are people of conscience who have, in a real world sense, a sense of where they have come from and where they are going? The moment of "standing" is in the here and now; the ever authentic sense of conscience speaks to place in the here and now -- that is, how we are Christlike, Eucharist to one another -- so it seems to me.


And where does it say that consent was NOT given? When did I ever say it's okay to have sex without consent???

Two people have drinks, perhaps at a bar or in a dorm room. They both start feeling uninhibited because...surprise!...that's what alcohol does to you. They start flirting while waiting for their next drink. HE makes a play (because that's what society expects) and either verbally or non-verbally suggests they have sex. If his come-on appeals to her, they both willingly end up somewhere and do the deed. Next day she's sober, and for some reason regrets having sex with this person...maybe she's already taken, or perhaps he simply sucked at it. So to make things "right," she pursues legal action.

Up until the "legal action" point, hasn't the above scenario happened to you? No? Perhaps you're too pure, and that's fine. But I guarantee you this scene is repeated countless times every night across America. Now tell me, exactly WHERE in this scenario did the woman NOT give consent?


Look at the area on google earth. Looking at the area involved and the bodies of water i.e. lakes and rivers the change on a human scale may be noticeable but on a geologic scale not much to speak of.


"look what the U.S. did in afghanistan, syria, pence warns north korea"....

well pence, though this may be somewhat beyond your comprehension of world events and the natural order of human behaviour but  psycho kim jon has already seen the criminal acts of aggression the americans have been responsible for around the world in afghanistan, iraq, lybia, now syria, fully arming the saudi's to fight their proxy war in yemen, and then iran is next on tap.   i mean, pence, perhaps instead you could tell the world WHAT exactly AMERICA PLANS TO DO WITH THE EXTRA $54 BILLION IN DEFENCE SPENDING.  improve health care, education?


no they were not the story of the inauguration,, friday was trumps day fully, today the day after was the day of this stuff, i feel sorry for people like you that seem to hate


It’s called a “vote of no confidence” and it would be nothing new for a city plagued with corruption and malfeasance. Rene Mansho. Nestor Garcia. Rod Tam. Two of those three city council members resigned in disgrace. The other one was “promoted” to the Hawai‘i State Legislature. All three were involved in key decisions on rail transit. Just another day in the nei.


A year?    It's going to get longer.     I'm not sure what it will produce honestly, I've tried to say out of impeachment talk.   I don't like the man or his policies.   I most certainly now carry a strong bias against the President, a bias I think he's earned to never trust what the man say's.     He's a salesman selling what people want to hear, but he's delivered nothing of significance in terms of legislation, while alienating more of the developed world with his personal arrogance, and apparent disinterest in facts.

Doesn't matter what I think of the man, the question at this point is if he has created a crime and would that rise to the level of impeachment.

People can dream all they want to, but the law and evidence will be the final jury.    Best outcome I've seen so far is at least people are watching our government a closer.   I that continue's and grows during non-elections seasons....... oh wait, does that exist?


Political Commentators are 'entertainers' just like Trump was; they just don't get paid as well!

Well, except for the ones on the right end of the spectrum, of course!


If he's getting only 3.5 stars on Yelp in Washington, D.C., one of the best two or three cities in the U.S. for restaurant dining, he may as well close anyway. Over half of Yelp reviewers give restaurants 5 stars. Or he could make his restaurant better.


Thank you, Alex and TG&M, for an intelligent, informed and sensitive review of what sounds like a striking - and thoughtful - memorial.  Certainly worth another visit to Ottawa.  Too bad the National Arts Centre has recently been "condo-ized"; the two structures (the NAC designed by a Polish/Jewish/Canadian architect) would have nicely complemented each other.


And she would be an entirely different woman, and probably not in a good way.


Indeed. Trump has such a thin skin. It's sad, he's so far out of his depth.


Bush's move to imposed national standards and testing on US schools was a good idea that exposed poor performance and lack of standards which then made it impossible to measure performance. It was defeated by conservatives and teacher's unions who then attacked state standards as well. The current secretary of Education under Trump has also fought standards since they interfere with religous teaching and the charter school movement which she supports. Charter schools have struggled to meet standards. Too bad the conseravative political climate and the constant resistance of the teacher's unions has beaten down measurement of educational performance.


Plus a the little detail of NO EVIDENCE.
Yes who could forget when the big question from the establishment was how Trump and his ilk were going to handle the loss !!!
Truly if I was a Democrat or a supporter of theirs I would just simply crawl under a rock and fight a another day but Nope they march on with media support.

…and that's only one of your misguided convictions,

Lets hope that "witness" is in protective custody...


Way to go, Johnny M. BTW - I'm glad you have first rate health care to help you in your moment of need. Too bad you lack the awareness of the irony in that.


Never any good news about the dangerous Ewa Beach.  Ewa Beach is the new Waianae I am told.


I trust the state to build and operate a pipeline about as well as they built and ran the Delta Barley Project.


STOP using my name!


I have worked for the federal government and various MUSH sector employers in Ontario for over 25 years - in my experience well funded unions, gutless leaders & politicians plus binding arbitration have produced comp & benefit structures that overpay low-skill jobs by 20-30% and underpay comparable professional positions by 20-30% vs. comparable private sector positions.


Not with with the amount of debt our provincial and federal governments are carrying.  A 2.5% up-tick will sink Ontario.


If you were a wildly cynical Democrat and were hoping that President Trump would go to Puerto Rico and say a bunch of things that make him sound awful and racist, you really couldn’t top what he actually did do.


why of course it is. killy lost so we need to get rid of it.


Depends on what you mean by "conservative". Many give that noble bent a bad name.


Don't confuse the half wits with hashtags crowd with facts.


And yet another great, proud moment for us Alaskans to have quite literally 15% of the state's population show up.  This never gets old, as an Alaskan lifer myself that can still fondly remember doing the same in the 60's on my dad's shoulders.  As a contrarian cynical buddy once said, all politcs aside this is by far the best display of taxpayer money at work!  Simply the best of the best.


A321neos are assembled in Mobile, AL. The A321neo has been outselling Boeing's 737 Max 9 by a margin of 5 to 1.

When equipped with an auxiliary fuel tank, the recently announced 737 MAX 10 has a range of 3,700 miles, which can't match the extended-range A321neo LR's claimed 4,600-mile range.


HanabataDays, it does not mean Delta gets paid twice.  Since the person ticketed for that seat did not show up for boarding, there would not have been time for Delta to re-sell the seat.  It most likely was filled by a Delta employee flying standby.


I'm all for women going topless.  And could we get some more and better pics please.


"held at the Canada Christian College after introduction of motion M-103 in Parliament. As the camera spans a boisterous, overwhelmingly Caucasian crowd, a middle-aged, bespectacled woman comes into focus. Grinning, she raises her right arm in what appears to be a lingering Nazi-salute. Four Conservative leadership hopefuls appeared at this event."
---
There you have it: Christians, Caucasians, Nazis and Conservatives lumped together by the proponents of the motion.


Ask yourself, how much confidence do you have in our State Dept of Health.


Exercise of any kind is therapudic for any disease!!  I have MS and if I didn't get on my treadmill and train, I would probably be in a wheel chair!!  I know that it is nothing like the big "C" and I contribute to fund momograms for people who can't afford them and do mine every 365 days!!  Thanks for sharing..  Dee Dee is awesome to share her experience😍.


Indeed!  How can Canada have a "free trade" deal with a country that pollutes, arrests, and harvests organs indiscriminately?

Trudeau is way more dangerous than I feared.


Seeing how nuts this game is... Holland holds the option for next year. 1 month ago it was was a foregone conclusion he would opt out and the Rockies were screwed.  Fast forward to now, he could very well exercise the option and the Rockies will be screwed...


"Excess candy bars" ???.....no such thing in my house, sad to say. Anything left over magically disappears in a day or two. And then just as magically  reappears around my middle.


Not big deal or significant for neither side. But, Chinese outbound investment is drying up quickly:

Not sure if it is something cried or celebrated for?


While we're still laughing at Frank's post to you, you should also note that "no religion" doesn't mean "atheists and agnostics," - that encapsulates those not reporting a specific denomination preference.  Which in case of Chicago should be taken as "Catholic- light."  Ever been to Chicago? It's a Catholic town and its Catholic influence is undeniable.


President Trump said he issued the travel ban to protect our country from terrorism.
However, Judge Watson found that the latest version of the travel ban contains "internal incoherencies” that undermine its rationale for protecting national security. Some countries appeared to fall below the security criteria that were used to evaluate countries, but these countries weren't included in the travel ban.  The incoherencies make sense when you understand that the real purpose of the travel ban is to pander to white supremacists and other racists.


It's hard not to like Kevin ..... for the self-inflated gasbag clown entertainer that he is. As a politician, not so much so.


The U.S. Should do the same thing. Good for Norway, protecting their citizens first & foremost.


It is unfortunate the majority in the House and Senate do not have the intestinal fortitude to be facing the problem head on.  The result will be to force the voters to take whatever retaliation is necessary to replace incompetent members of congress.  It will be complete chaos  until the 2018 election as the result of the majority's choice to allow this to   continue.


We need somebody to look out for the welfare of the country.  That somebody certainly isn't Trump.  The kindest thing I can say about him is that he is in woefully over his head, and he knows it.
I am a life-long Democrat, so it's not likely that I would have voted for any of last year's GOP candidates.  I would have been unhappy if any of them had been elected, but at least I wouldn't have been horrified (and afraid).  I could have slept at night if Jeb! had been elected, or Kasich, or Rubio, or even Cruz, confident that they wouldn't blow up the country between midnight and 6:00 am.  Not so with Trump.


Very sweet!


"Canada’s economy grows as resource-sector rebound continues"

"Canada is sending a record amount of oil to the United States, filling pipelines to capacity and threatening to push more crude into rail cars. U.S. imports from its northern neighbour jumped 17 per cent to 3.46 million barrels a day last week, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said Wednesday in a preliminary report. That’s the most since the agency began collecting such data in 2010.

Exports have surged as Alberta recovers from wildfires that disrupted supplies earlier this year.

Astounding...............

all this economic activity generated by an industry that is a national afterthought - in a small province of little importance

just watch the economy roar when all those Eastern green projects like solar panels and windmills start to come into play...................


"Basic rule - freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences."

Actually, that's precisely what it means ... as a general principle.

It always blows my mind away how many people fall back on the strict legal interpretation, so that they can justify mob behaviour that shutters expression, justify organizations other than the government shuttering expression, etc. When you work that hard to justify cutting people out of public life, you're no free speech advocate, not in any fashion.

I don't care if it's Pinochet shutting down newspapers, the Church hauling Giordano Bruno off as a heretic, a local cable company threatening a lawsuit against former employees to keep their nefarious business practices off the record, or a Twitter campaign trying to cost someone their job because they expressed an unpopular opinion.  If your goal is to not to express yourself, but to shut someone else up ... you're a censor.


450 members, where's their own stakeout?


Continued from Part 1

These are just two examples along with their continued fixation to build trails within the Front Country without consideration for human/bear conflicts (which we had in 2016 - where the NPS response was highly suspect).

One shouldn't have to question NPS but in Denali's case I do, due to their past & current history. The question is: is it better to starve NPS of funding within Denali to better protect Denali from NPS & their continued desire to domesticate, partition, & degrade the park?

It used to be that Denali was considered a Wilderness Park & that we (meaning the entire Denali community) took great pride in that; unfortunately & apparently, NPS no longer shares in that view.


Its a choice to do heroin or not do heroin. Everyone knows how terrible it can be.....unless you live under a rock. Everyone know how addicting it is before they chose to use it. It is a choice.


Maybe the ex-husband hacked her Facebook account.  Five days in Germany?  That's like going to another country on the other side of the planet.


Why I may have expressed it differently, you do not need to convince me of the "disaster" that Donald Trump as president poses to this country and the world. Furthermore, Donald Trump's values and what I know of the way he has lead his life is the antitheses of mine, my family's, and what I grew up thinking this country was all about. Given this guy's personal behavior and lack of knowledge about this country's history and form of government, it is beyond me as to why anyone would think this guy could in any way, shape, or form make a good president, regardless of how much they disliked Clinton and the Democrats. And as to what psychological issues this guy deals with, God only knows. That said, all I'm saying is we best not get at each other's political throats to the point that we forget those in this world who would lay waste to us all - Trump supporters or non-Trump supporters alike.


Comrade Trumpikov says nyet nyet to you Koolaidcat


Bullshit Nanos Poll again. Stop publishing these slanted question polls done and paid for by Liberal Party


I'll ask a question I've asked here before on this topic: identify the last time a "liberal" Justice broke with fellow liberals on a case involving some red hot issue & voted with a conservative majority? Yet Scalia protected the rights of flag burners, Kennedy saved Roe & legalized gay marriage, & Roberts saved Obamacare. At this point, I really don't know what liberals have to complain about from GOP nominees.

As for the charade of these nominations, I'm fine with punishing McConnell, but let's not forget that it was Joe Biden & Ted Kennedy who made these hearings the truly appalling events that they are. It's time to go back to the old method: end the hearing charade. If you complain about the campaign-esque fundraising that now occurs (for nominees of both parties, Sen. Whitehouse), then end the campaign-esque features of the process. I'll won't hold my breath.


Your story really hit home with me as I have followed Willie Taggert from his days at Western Kentucky. My best buddy's daughter is on the coaching staff, at WKU, USF and now Oregon. We have had the privilege of getting to know the man and his family, not just as a coach. We have been in the parking lot at Raymond James Stadium waiting with his family for "Coach T" to come out. His dad, as well as the entire family, welcomed us with open arms. And I mean open arms because you were going to get a hug. Willie Taggert doesn't forget where he came from, and shows humility and compassion towards everyone he meets. I only know one Division 1 head football coach, and I am proud to say it is Willie Taggert. He sets the example every day how you treat people, regardless of their background. I will see the Ducks fly high because they have a leader.


The pound will head below a dollar as hard Brexit starts. The UK carries the most debt in Europe and needs to do whatever it can to lower this debt load: the easiest way to do this is to scare the pound down below a dollar. It is important to note most British multinational businesses make their profits in dollars and their debts in pounds. It is in their interest to see a strong dollar vis a vis the pound.


Strangely so many in the left are always asking for diversity but they don't want diversity when it comes to political viewpoints.


RA:  Refute it?  Refute that you claim to know what is spiritually, morally, ethically and environmentally best for all of us?  That is a ridiculous statement.  Don't criticize?  I thought you were the one always telling people that you are entitled to your opinion.  I agree that you are, as I've said previously, but so is everyone else.  You seem to be even more sensitive today to criticism. You seem to be getting more and more irrational.  You  OK?  Maybe time to get help as countless others have suggested.


ADN, why do you allow these racist comments?


That incident in the 1990s was at Kukui Plaza across the street.
