The temperature reconstruction of the past millennium developed by Mann and colleagues Ray Bradley and Malcolm Hughes and published in 1998 and 1999 has since been extended and confirmed by multiple independent research groups.

Ironically, the only published claims that their methodology was fundamentally flawed came from Canadian economist Ross McKitrick and mining analyst Steve McIntyre, and their approach was deeply deceptive. Their R code, released after publishing a paper In Geophysical Research Letters in 2005, showed that 10,000 time series from randomized test runs were sorted by the degree of uptick at the end (M&M's 'Hockey Stick Index') and only the highest 100 (1%) used in their analysis and paper. Oops. Guess it was an honest mistake, right?

She is no different from her ex-husband. Same ideas, same words, same actions only different ways.
Here comes a free JZ. It is part of cultural behaviour.


Harry,
I do not hate anyone. I disagree with his disgusting actions and self-serving egotistical bloviating. I do not admire or trust his greedy and unethical business practices. As a disabled person, I do not appreciate his mocking disrespectful put-downs of my fellow handicappers. I find it hard to believe that people could support a man who proudly proclaims that he could get by with shooting a fellow human on a NYC street and  criminally grab a woman's private parts because of his celebrity status. I do not feel my response to his character should be considered hateful, but merely an opinion based on strong evidence. I hate what his disastrous tweet-filled presidency is doing to the future of our great country.


1000?600?
I remember seeing hanging lake when i was a small child. Yes it was absolutely beautiful.  I probably will never go back with that many people. I dont know how that many could not mess things up.  The lake is tiny but the real problem is that its so close to the highway.
Shame that tourists cant value nature like my parents did.


Trump should forget about Sessions and focus on getting Rosenstein's replacement confirmed.  It won't end well if anything happens to Sessions, and the ball is in the acting AG's court.  He's the one who did not put limits on the investigation, allowing it to be so broad it will drag out forever and end up with something with no resemblance to collusion.


I'm not a journalist, but I found myself snickering when I saw her getting on the plane with those shoes on.  Sure she changed later, but was it in response to all the criticism or did she intend to all along?  Guess we'll never know. [g]. It is a small thing, but....a very noticeable thing that is hard to button your lip and ignore.

 Truly  social justice mobsters should stick to what they are good at, playing the victim !!!


No implication at all...nor did I ever mention the word "greed."

This attorney has already made his move - he has stated he wants to have the Diocese declared "a public nuisance."

He needed a case to focus on, because the 2003 case was done and couldn't be reopened.  He needs this Bishop with his baggage and history.  All of a sudden?  A "repressed memory" case.

That doesn't raise any flags with you?


Should not look good for people claiming to support "local", right?


"City authorities say the policies help encourage residents of the immigrant community to inform police when they are victims of crimes."  That is nonsense.  What these liberals do not understand is that the sanctuary policy encourages more illegal immigration which places a heavy burden on taxpayers to provide them housing, education, health care and to incarcerate the thousands who commit crimes.


"Impressive?"
Adam Gotsis?
Yes.
We need Gotsis to step up and shut down opponents behind or at the line of scrimmage.
He's bulked up, good.


Can someone give me the proper grid reference to which window I need to throw the brick I have in my hand into?


We have already seen a massive spike in Mexican claims,

Good thing we had Justin remove Harper's Mexico visa requirement,

Yes we are now spending millions of dollars to process and deport over 90 percent of those claims.

Truly the Liberals priority's are grossly out of step with the needs of Canadians, when will they stop pandering and start making decisions that put CANADIANS IN DESPERATE NEED 1ST????


Fact: Many African-Americans voted for Obama simply because he was black. Hillary's not black so thousands of those voters decided to stay home. Deep down the Democrats know this was an issue that contributed to their loss, even if they won't admit it.


He dosen't care, he wants the young minds pliable so he can analize them.


Science isn't there yet? When is the last time u had a cognitive moment that was original and to the point?

Bloatus with the buttons, Gorge Washington , followed by a bj joke ...  you got paid for that garbage humor, Colbert.  Letterman or Leno would have sent that material back to the high school writers that composed it.


Really pisses you off  that a classy black man served eight years in the White House and he happen  to  be a Democrat.  Yuk, yuk, yuk.


Love those generalities, Windy. Keep 'em goin'. And the Dems are all Commie Socialists, right? NOPE - I don't generalize as you do. Teach tolerance, bro! Or does the end justify your generalizing means?


It is sad to hear Daniel Dae Kim is leaving. He is a perfect fit for the show. Although Grace Park is strikingly beautiful in person, the camera does not pick it up and her appearance and acting comes across as flat. I hope they replace her with a female with more personality and sex appeal on screen.

"Come where you can get BaltiMORE for your money!"

There you go, Baltimore Chamber of Commerce, you can have that one for free.


"OUTRAGE" in Libtard Land! President Trump (gasp) complemented a woman. Bring out the Snowflake smelling salts. Had Emperor Islama said it? Crickets!


Quebec City telling it like it is.

The Globe just cannot handle the truth.


I think Bladensburg can very easily deed the small portion of the land the cross is on to a private group, the American Legion for example. I think this was done in the case of a large memorial cross in San Diego.


There are others, even educated folks in Hawaii at the highest echelons of education who have said the same!!!


The dairy and meat industries for many decades have been very successful at lobbying governments in Canada and USA that their products are essential for human health. These industries when challenged on their nutrition claims become very defensive and immediately deploy aggressive communication tactics rather than simply letting scientific information (which they claim to have) do the talking for them. The expression, "the lady doth protest too much, methinks," comes to mind. It is impossible to deny the high correlation between the big uptick (and trending higher) in things like heart disease, hypertension, out-of-whack blood chemistries in wealthy nation populations where meat and dairy are heavily subsidized and readily available. It wasn't that long ago that the tobacco industry was allowed to promote its products as having health benefits -- the more you live, the more you learn. For the record: I am not a vegetarian or vegan and never have been.


Good for them. Enough already.


Should also add - that those hours are shared or exceeded by many so called high level professions - it just comes with the territory.    Eg:   Corporate law, or Finance and investment banking (in which I worked for 3 decades),      Of course people will joke that anybody could do this whereas medicine requires a highly specialized degree.     But with insight into both, I have to say that Doctors typically are terrible at multi=tasking, and when they talk about stress, it's a whole different concept of stress (more that they're simply untrained in dealing with stress) - very much self inflicted vs eg: deal stress with impossible counter parties or the stress of trying to trade a position in an unpredictable global market with your P&L directly tied to your compensation and future.     In fact, in my family we often joke as we look at each other and say "I wish I had gone into your field".


You think Lucy would invite the homeless to her quiet home above and away from the riffraf? Not that limousine liberal Lucy :)


What,training foreign people that could turn on Americans and not training Americans?????????
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????


Agree with all of those.  Although on #1, not by imposing higher minimum wage laws, but rather by enacting policies that promote economic growth and employment.

Supply and demand should always be the natural determiner of compensation level, not artificial price controls (price of labor, in this case).  But there are things the government can do to promote more demand.  And when there's more demand for labor than supply, the price will go up the right way (naturally instead of artificially).

#'s 2, 3, and 4 (plus a number of other policy changes) will automatically beget #1.  And #1 will beget #5, as the decision to automate is nearly always a byproduct of rising labor costs.


Actually, stating one's beliefs is pure First Amendment stuff.

It's passing lies of as facts that is slander or libel, these days known as defamation.  You know, like the bogus "facts" about the homeless in these comments.


Congratulations Jason. Alaska will be better with you in office.


So troops on the ground in combat is not combat and is safer than planes in the air which is why we pulled out our planes says fake news Trumpdeau.

The fight against ISIS is right thing to do, just wish Trumpdeau stop the fake news.


True, but my concern is that something will be developed and we might wish we had dealerships. Not having the Harly dealership is great though. I couldn't stand to listen to them buzz by all summer on test drives.


Nothing about a parking brake in the article, but it apparently wasn't set.  Bad idea, especially on an incline.


Don't stop there. Enter Palin and Parnell and the GOP Leg cohorts that enabled the biggest spike in recent spending. We need Walker and his line item pen, a new Leg with better priorities that won't be entertaining yet another LIO, and some real accountability in our representatives to represent US instead of corporate interests.
New blood. New ideas with stamina. New names.
If the Leg would update their PD rules to get paid like the rest of the SOA workers it would be a great start!


I feel sorry for you. Truly. What do you live for my friend? One day when you wake up and you realize that none of your precious dreams or goals have brought you happiness and peace, try opening up the Bible and see what God is really about.

I find it sad that in this age of science and critical thinking, so called "informed" people are so easily brainwashed by the world. They just believe the lies about Christians, about God, about their precious evolution. They accept assumption for fact. Do some research, you're a critical thinker I assume? Or do you just believe any lie you're told?

We didn't pray for the magical removal of Zuma like Rebecca Davis will have you believe. We prayed to ask Him to help His people change. Be more loving. Be like Jesus! So in turn we can influence people for the better and be a nation for Jesus!

Or do secularists not want people to be loving and caring towards one another? Would they rather we follow in our animalistic evolutionist behavior?


Labdrive, don't make the mistake of hurling  invective against the American people in total.
Reserve your comment to disputing Lazeelink's assertion as a standalone


I have a problem with making it easier for citizens to vote. So according to you I am guilty of backward mentality, extreme individualism, laissez-faire racism, and anti-government paranoia. That doesn’t sound very civil.

I find that in life, things that are free and easy are often the things not worth having. And the reality is that voting is already easy. You can register online by typing your name and some other personal information. When the ballot comes around, you can color in a few blanks and put it in the mail. Sure, I would rather a voter spend some time learning about the repercussions of filling in certain blanks (such as the ones next to John Kitzhaber), but that’s not going to happen. And we will continue to pay the price for emphasizing quantity over quality when it comes to our voters.


Trudeau is a fake. If he cared about Canadians he would have paid $1 million a year ago as a ransom to the Islam people of the phillipines. That would have secured the release of a Canadian. He didn't pay and the Canadian was killed. He picks and chooses without any regard of the truth or its consequences. I have no idea how any Liberal MP cannot stand up and say this is wrong. They are overpaid as MP's and follow the  party boss. Don't believe them when it is time for the next election.


Your claim that "there were no civilians in Hiroshima" is incorrect.

The fact is Hiroshima was primarily a civilian target. The vast majority of deaths and casualties were civilian. The nukes caught hundreds of thousands of women, children and elderly people on their daily activities.

 The target was the t shaped Aioi Bridge in the middle of Hiroshima's residential district to maximize civilian casualties. The epicenter of the strike was mere meters from Honkawa elementary school.


Two independent WTO trade panels decided in the previous softwood dispute that our stumpage fees did not amount to a subsidy. The US ignored the ruling making it an unreliable and rogue trading partner.  Now if we go ahead with carbon taxes and the US doesn't does that mean they have an unfair advantage to Canadains.. do we start countervailing duties against their products? I really dont understand this dispute. It appears that the US needs our lumber... why dont we just raise our prices to match theirs so the money stays in Canada?


Maybe it is splitting hairs, but the Knight OHSU Cancer Center was a gift that needed a match to be given at all. If they didn't get the match, they would have ended up with nothing. Here, if no other money is put into the project then they'll end up with 1 or 2 buildings instead of 3, 15 endowed research labs instead of 30... but the gift will be given over 10 years no matter what. The UO is free to say they need X amount to fulfill their vision, but they are the only ones saying they "must" have another $500 million. Even the Olive article uses a relatively less emphatic word than "must" when they say, "what UO hopes will be a $1 billion effort."


Constitution says otherwise. If you don't agree with the Constitution there are plenty of countries in the world that don't have one, and you might enjoy living there.


Unfit for office.


Finicum was WHITE.

Finicum was AMBUSHED.

Finicum's hands were EMPTY.

Finicum was gunned down by WHITE COPS.


I believe that a liberal democracy must also be secular...


"Trump’s White House all but ignoring Spanish 𝙫𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨"

... is what this boils down to.  And isn't it just a faaaabulous strategy for ongoing success at the polls!


There isn't a guarantee that anybody else could match the price of the tariff inflated goods.   In which case the American consumer would just pay the higher price.

If it makes people feel any better, American corn growers (and I would assume soy beans, maybe wheat), have crushed the small Mexican farms and the 'way of life ' in rural area's.    Very similar to what corporate farms did to family owned farms in the US.   Ours  is much more vibrant economy with far more opportunity that what most Mexican rural communities have to offer.

Maybe the Mexican President puts a tariff on corn so his own rural communities can compete.  The Pres. Trump raises tariffs again, and Mexico responds.    Does anybody see where this is headed?

Does it make you feel secure to have an enemy across the border instead of a trading partner?


The bottom line is that the opponents of this don't Creswell turned into the Cupertino of anything.

The way this vote has been engineered to prevent any other dispensaries from opening in the city is also offensive.


You sound as intelligent as Maxine Waters


Yes, I agree with the pope's assessment.  If a theologian is too academically unearthly, he or she is no earthly good to the Body of Christ. They must, instead, deal with the realties that afflict us all.
I also like Francis's description of what a good pastor should be. What a difficult, balancing act! Kudos to those who manage to pull it off.


Whining and bitching about it in these forums will get us nowhere however if we flood their servers with emäils telling them off we might get their attention send the same email to Trudeau and his ministers I've already sent mine.


Sad, but I can't help but think Darwinism is real.  And children sometimes need guidance from parents.


Probably the same folks and means of those who fall for the Nigerian Prince scam.


Answer to Duali: Yes.  Just confirmed this by chatting with them.


Political Analyst ---

Scheer is dead?!!
Holy moly - now we have to face ANOTHER Conservative leadership race?

You must have received your Poli Sci degree from the same institution that handed Kenney something or other with his name on it.

(And US elite Delta Force solider, Speer, was never a doctor.)


Replying to zjab's non-sequitir:
.
Contrary to the misleading implicit assumption of your comment, it is not in fact all that easy to become Prime Minister, and it is fairly difficult to return to the private sector afterward.
.
Harry Truman's relative poverty is what forced the U.S. to face this problem half a century ago.
.
Alternatively, consider Ulysses S. Grant - greatest military hero of his time, and two term president.  No pension.  Dying from cancer. Racing to finish his memoirs so that his family would be supported after his death, because he was, essentially, a pauper.
.
More generally, it is usually difficult to win elected office at least twice and the job market for former MPs is pretty thin.  If someone has given up a career to run for elected office, I have no difficulty with their pension eligibility vesting after a short time, and the pension being fairly generous.
.
Otherwise only scoundrels would do the job, and we have more than enough of them, already.


And yet recent stats say prices are dropping in Vancouver...sure still overpriced but no longer rising and sales have fallen as well..... that is why most people disagree with you.


So everybody boycotting Spur are right-wing?  Typical from the media, stirring the pot.  We will keep boycotting, you can bet on it. https://www.facebook.com/BoycottSpur/?fref=nf


As I read the uncivil Schwab's claim of being "fair", I thought of Roger Waters, former bassist for Pink Floyd and all around creative genius.Waters is currently on his "Us + Them" tour. In all the press interviews, he emphasizes that the theme of his tour is "love" yet his show is actually chock full of hatred, pointed mainly at President Trump.  It's this kind of self serving propaganda that many liberals, including the uncivil Schwab, think is justified in the never ending pursuit of their agenda. Yes, Waters preaches "love" but only for the correct audience - everyone else gets the rubber hose treatment.  The same is true for the uncivil Schwab - every Saturday he posts a hate filled screed but pretends it's truth and fair at that.  And he's able to discover civility only when it suits his purposes such as when he does a dual column with the civil Larry.

Although, I must admit this particular column is more civil he still has a long way to go before we remove uncivil from his name


I don't think anyone would put Teresa of Avila and levitation in the same thought?


This is normal for her on reporting


What was negative or prejudicial about it, I was just answering Twakkies'. .... I really think Love-Muscle that you must explore your own conscience with your insults.... it's not intelligent, some may say childish.


Would you invest in choosing the right course?   Considering the risk of human climate manipulation on all of human civilization, its not a decision made lightly.    Conservation and efficiency are attainable but may not be enough considering positive population growth- which has slowed.  A higher level of commitment will help.


Life in prison will of course be considered for these charges!


That would be impossible and it also will be an act of war.


There are not enough 'good men and women' in Wash DC to have a baseball team....


[A broad range of experts and ordinary citizens already has written off its legitimacy, noting that it is led by and filled with some of the nation's most zealous proponents of the notion that fraud is a huge threat to democracy and requires new restrictions making it harder to register and vote.]
It's no wonder with this administration.  Let's take a look at the Environmental Protection Agency.  I want to highlight the middle part of that department's name, "Protection."  Pruitt, who is noted as perhaps the most active and successful appointee by Trump, rolls back regulations left and right.  All evidence indicates he is not accepting information from any sources other than industries that the EPA was specifically designed to protect the environment from.  Trump's selected men have their conclusions regardless of facts.

["One has to wonder what they're worried about," Trump said. "There's something. There always is."]
Trump will be releasing his tax forms tomorrow, right?


Yes. I agree with you.

An investigator for our attorney Edgar Paul Boyko, Benny Leonard, and I arrived between 4:30 and 5 am the next day.  The ride was just starting to be dismantled and removed from the fair.  We left after many photographs had been taken.  Some things are and were egregious.  The motor had been suped-up to increase speed.  Seat belts were the same canvas straps found on duffel bags with a d-ring and clip to fasten it together.  There were only a couple of intact straps on the ride.  D-rings, clips or both were missing and some straps had the ends knotted together and flattened by many riders sitting on them.  I don't know why the seats had been welded.  Whether it was for short-cut maintenance or not didn't alter that it was not a smart thing to do, considering the speed of the ride and the centrifugal forces involved.  I think the ride was called the Scrambler which scooted fast on the ground.  The State was involved at least as a certifying entity.


At $12.6B we should have whoever is president commission our rail system when it's completed.


You lost all credibility by stating that Chinese don't launder money when even the Chinese government announced the problem, just yesterday.


There are many examples of NDP incompetence.  Here is a more recent one: the NDP announced that they were looking at breaking the PPA agreements made 15 years ago.  Business confidence in Alberta was already near an all-time low and this announcement made it even clearer that Alberta was a risky place to invest.  Even Nenshi pointed out the stupidity of the NDP government.


Must be a drag not having any intellectual honesty.
Were you wearing your super cool antifa mask when you wrote that?
Lmaoooo


So now all Kenai Peninsula Borough taxes go up to pay for the lawsuits because the Assembly is so misguided? This is going to cost the Borough more money than we have and for what? So that only "christian" or the "right kind" of people can give a prayer that has no place in public office to begin with. Good lord what odd priorities the six members of the Assembly have. Religion over official duty will be their downfall but once again it will cost tax payers plenty.


Do Canadian Values include me having to work longer and harder to pay more tax to support those who would rather not work?

Those on the supply end of the tax train are increasingly dissatisfied by what they see as waste in government and overly generous social programs.  You want generous social programs?  Eliminate waste elsewhere in government and use that money.

We're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore.


I have never heard a coherent explanation as to why the Ontario government is determined to sell off public assets. What was supposed to be good about selling Hydro One???


Senator Bumpy would fit right into the Trump administration.  He could be the head of the Senate Committee to make Hawaii a Kingdom with Baron Trump as King.


When a whole string of responses from you are inane, then asking if you are on drugs is being charitable. The other possibility is what psychiatrists would describe as being stark, raving bonkers


so if I pay around 50% of what I earn in taxes and 50% of our taxes goes to health care and having worked for over 40 years with never having drawn EI...not sure what a knee replacement costs but am confident I have paid for quite a few.


Diasappointment for Murkowski's lack of leadership?! Not only yes, but hell yes!
Lisa's Lack of collaboration to address needed healthcare reform?!  Questioning of Liberal Lisa's solid support for planned parenthood abortion clinics?!  No kidding-eh Sherlock Holmes?!
Lisa Murkowski is useless. She has been in Congress for too many years.  With tenure and influence to address healthcare reform for MANY YEARS NOW, but without results! Not to mention her membership on Senate US energy Policy of which she is chairwoman. Her Democrat pals did not come through for her to date, passing a national policy,  but Lisa keeps putting out for them-stupid! No accomplishments at all, just obstruction for national progress on problem solving like her Democrat pals. Lisa is a rhino with zero accomplished for Alaskans!  DUMP LIBERAL LISA NEXT Election!  Alaskans deserve way, way far better!!!


they are the best


So it's an Idea, not a right.


Headline should read,"Most in U.S. don't think".


Just got yourself your first 'puter there old-timer( Or are you using the public library's)? LOL ( Laughing Out Loud )It's a common Internet acronymn used on forums like this one. Maybe get some elementary school student to explain it to you. In return, maybe you can show him how to use a rotary-dial phone or some other useful tidbit.


Okay, 25 years.  Now done with the emotional rush, who's gonna pay.  At 25 years, we are looking at $2 million plus for the sentence.  In my humble opinion a much superior sentence would be surgical removal of male organs followed by a 6 month jail stay to recover from the surgery and relearn how to use the restroom.  At the same time, the young woman gets an injury restitution of a quarter of a million dollars.

The old and tired massive jail term is a very expensive and bothersome approach to law enforcement.  It is primarily supported by those who make lots of money off the current system.


You had me until you said there is no comparison...  have you missed the first six months of demonstrations of this administration.  Rioting and destroying property because you lost an election is a pretty good comparison to the stupidity of racist.


Politicians propose, the market disposes.


Why are you making this about Harper?  Trudeau is carrying on with Harper's plan to reduce the health care funding this year.  Shouldn't you be all smug?


Look at his history on Alaska Courtview. He's had an angry and assaultive history for his entire adult life.


Way to go Dean Lapierre....another blatant and unnecessary testimony to IGNORANCE!  In case it went right over your head, that inspired, creative, defiant outpouring by women around the world the day after the inauguration was of historic significance. Women lit the fuse of change that will confound and leave in the dust the dinosaur opinions you espoused. Note "espoused", in the past tense. You may still turn the corner and make a real difference as yo move forward. We are pulling for you to do so, especially the women! And by the way, as someone raised by a single mother in the 1950's, I know what real courage is all about. I can smell disrespect a mile away and no one should have time for it.


Maybe stop propagating the tired old propaganda of the helpless, feeble black American who is passively waiting for a welfare handout like Pavlov's dog waits for a treat. Because this is why the GOP can't earn the black vote. The modern GOP has no intention of trying to earn the black vote. They're still getting too much mileage demonizing and infantilizing black Americans in order to court the racist, white backlash vote. Southern Strategy. Thanks for the polite if condescending pat on the head, though, GOP, as you dismiss 38 million black Americans and sloppily paint all with one obscenely wide brush.


Let's be honest here. The GOP efforts are not really about healthcare at all. When the ACA was created, the "deny Obama any victories at any cost" strategy was in full swing. They tried a series of power plays to kill it, and they lost. And ever since then, they have been trying to reverse that loss.
.
The problem is that many provisions of that law have become immensely popular, enough to make it impractical to eliminate the law entirely. They are stuck with a balancing act, trying to forge a "moral victory" that would let them say they "repealed Obamacare" without enraging their own supporters and the unaffiliated voters. To do that, they have gone from the rhetoric of repeal to one of "repeal and replace" with all kinds of wonderful predictions and promises for the benefits that replacement will bring.
.
They could have changed the problematic parts of the law at any time. But that would not give them their retroactive victory. They still lost.


We do have a voice and it's in the form of Justin's cardboard cutouts.


Remember when Climate Change was “Mumbo Jumbo”?


And Democrats did not until these current releases.....

Ahhh....politics.


The brutal military dictatorship of China is just a black swan event from imploding.


No, NASA's own data do not reveal this.

 - "Global Mean Sea Level: Rate of Change 3.4 (± 0.4) mm/yr

- "Ocean Mass: Rate of Change 1.8 (± 0.3) mm/yr

- "Steric Height: Rate of Change 0.8 (± 0.2) mm/yr"

NASA's data reveal consistent trends, having decades of data to rely on.

Science does not operate off of manini, all-or-nothing purity tests.  A year or two does not refute several decades, because no scientist only operates on outliers.

A body of decades of data indicate statistically significant, clear trends.  That's how science works.

Nothing else to see here.  You think that progressives believe in climate change because of Al Gore?  Progressives only agree with Al Gore because he's accepted science and reason, not because of who he is.  Conservatives seem to forget that Al Gore faced an intense primary challenge in 2000 from Bill Bradley.  And until recently, economic conservatives accepted science and reason, too.

..."The ranch manager kept the berries, which he told me he later sold for $4,400"....

Atthe very least, that ranch manage might have reimbursed these people their $400.00 they were scammed out of, plus their labor costs for picking the berries.


So a good example of how poorly the Marine Corp commander looks afters it's troops and their families. Really shameful!


907-----looking at all your posts you are not just a TROLL, but a very prolific one. Not sure why you hate anyone that you disagree with? Take a deep breath and count to 10, it works for me.


Electing non-politicians to office doesn't usually end well.  I tried to get hold of Rob Ford to find out how that went for him, but I couldn't reach him!


Park for Free?  Are you kidding?


How is abortion "essential"?  How is killing hundreds of thousands of innocent children a societal good?  Don't we, as Catholics have a responsibility to live in the truth and call evil by its name?  Doesn't that responsibility exist whether we are discussing abortion, poverty, family or immigration?  Are we not, as Catholics, called to transcend politics and humbly recognize and serve the common good by allegiance to Christ?


While drug use and illegal behavior should not be tolerated at the library, it seems many people commenting on the article are uncomfortable about who a "Public" Library is available for...the public!  I work close to the library and visit during my lunch hour 4 or 5 times a week to read.  Sure, there are tons of homeless folks there too.  I certainly don't feel that I'm more deserving to use the library than anybody else.  I think we need to accept the fact that homeless folks have just as much right to use public facilities as anyone else, including our great library.  Again, I'm not condoning any sort of drug use or illegal activity - those people should be removed right away.  However, not being able to take a hot shower every day or use computers for something that you don't deem legitimate shouldn't serve as grounds to deny service to members of the public.


The Don said all our generals suck. He's going to crown new ones.


nafta has done a magnificent job of eroding the middle class in both canada and the united states by hollowing out the manufacturing sectors, the source of middle class income since ww2.  and globalization has done a far more splendid job of ensuring the glory days of militant unions and the middle class of old never return.


you know who wants the dems in? The gun and ammo industry, they make more money off the "they are going to take our guns" cry then when repubes are in office.


Trump had it backwards.  Mexico won't pay for it.  Instead, we'll be paying Mexicans to build it since they work a lot cheaper than Americans do.


If the CSeries was a piece of junk...Boeing would have ignored...Now that the product is getting rave reviews...Boieng regrets not having done a clean sheet of their 737 line ....they are trying to fend off competition any way they can..


Agree she had experience. But how well have our past actions/inactions worked?  There is a new sheriff in town and he is willing to try something new.  I don't think his line in the sand will be mobile.


Perhaps thats true.  The fact is I am not president.  The Donald is.  Suckers voted for the Donald.  Did you know he had mental problems when you voted for this clown?  Pretty funny if you think about it. lol


It makes me laugh. That doesn't mean I agree with it.


If you get rid of Scripture and Tradition then the bridge might well hold. Otherwise not.


The Globe is very selective about the news it reports, being careful not to report anything that would cast a negative light on the sacred concepts of multiculturalism and globalism.   Being "pro business" does not make either "left " or "right". It simply makes it biased.


Why? Actually, those who support his juvenile tweets are worse than the tweeter and the tweets.


Brad Wall reminds me of Christy Clark's government,
Bragged about  balanced budgets but how?
A wealthy province. No rainy day fund.


Socialism. Communism. Gov makes you pay, but only if you work in the private sector. To many people on the wagon to few pulling the wagon.


60 million sold and empty housing units in China.

Using your supply and price equation, it must be dirt cheap to purchase a home in China, thus affording all workers a place they can afford to buy.

But that has not happened.

This is  what happens when you commodify your housing, which is what is occurring here on the west coast.  Entire condo projects here continue to be marketed overseas, and it is estimated that the city centre of Richmond has a 47% sold and vacant rate, and many other areas of metro Vancouver, especially around transit hubs, are 25-30% sold and vacant.

Supply and demand can work, should work, unless of course housing has become something else. A commodity. A safety deposit box.  Lumber and bricks only for speculation and profit.


a_r:  Setting aside your righteous indignation, when Frank appointed her was that illegal? You know it was not so what's your beef? If you really cared you would push for legislation to change how a senator who does not complete their term of office is appointed. But that would take action not just whining.


She pushed issue that were in violation of the contract. Are you a PPS staff member?  Maybe you need to talk to more than just a few people about her performance on the school board.


still didn't...


"white guys".....you mean "jews"?


Fire the lying, crooked cops.

If the shop didn't want his business, they wouldn't have sold him the muffin.

Also release and exonerate everyone the crooks have ever accused of a crime. The lie about muffins for no reason, they will obviously lie about everything else too.

You Can’t Argue With Stupid
By Nancy Greggs
It’s true. In any political discussion, you can educate the ill-informed, you can make some headway amongst those with common sense. But you can’t argue with Stupid – and you’re wasting your time if you try.
And Stupid was out in force this week.
Hate masks personal insecurities. Not all insecure people are haters, but all haters are insecure people. Hate elevates the hater above the hated. Haters cannot stop hating without exposing their personal insecurities. Haters can only stop hating when they face their insecurities.


Does anyone edit these articles??  It sure doesn't look like it!  What a mess.


I don't disagree with you (I put "known" in quotes).  I'm only commenting to Dennis that, in my experience, "...the Islamic conception of Allah..." isn't as he suggests it may be, that is, gender-less.


I also agree. I have been in the US for the past four months and I have not seen discernable levels of 'chaos and confusion'. The MSM seems intent on provoking those elements but life is going on in normal fashion in spite of these efforts. No one is protesting against Trump in spite of their skepticism about the man and most concur that, for better or worse, he is carrying out his promises with alacrity. The daily episodic self-righteous indignation of the media that accompanies breakfast is forgotten by lunchtime and life goes on.


I know the legislators have family and/or friends who swear by their character. I only know them by their actions direct effect on my life indirectly. They have either purposely or not, put Alaska's economic present and future in dire enough straits they ask for the PFD every part of investment to balance the check book Republicans have had control for years. So I may not be allowed to cuss blue monday, but I can unleash my greatest disfavor in these legislators  total blind stupidity in business management. They gave the dam farm away to traveling snake oil tinker. Get it back. The End.


More what? Keep campaign promises.

I guess this is why he "got" more.  Everybody did.  Thanks Mr President.


If you read more about the many combatants in syria you will see the Kurds are leading with the most to gain and the most success against daesh. The Kurds were cut out of land allocations when the British Empire vacated the area. Post Colonial Wars are still being waged. And the U.S. Commander in Chief just tossed in a thousand plus Marines and Rangers in country with heavy artillery facing four other armies in the region, two of which they have no clear rules of engagement. Who knew the Middle East was so complicated?


True but a selective truth. If they were so high minded you'd think they might release something on the GOP or do you think maybe the GP is pristine? Being manipulated by selectively presenting or suppressing truth is still being manipulated.


Chuckle! Of course there is another city on the Accela route, Providence, that has another Tobin.


Hello?


The word "chief" evolved via Latin, French and English/Scots. A chief was the head of a clan in tribal Scotland; a chieftain the head of a branch of the clan.

That nobody bothered to look this up before making such a bizarre move is quite bothersome. Further, it's clear that they couldn't have consulted with FN people, who the TDSB is supposedly trying to "help", or they would have found this out.

Embarrassing.


Rambutan, would you please provide links to prove your first and second claims?


Martin writes that political partisanship had not previously reached the point of gunfire terror.  How soon he forgets.  Gabrielle Giffords, Democrat member of the House of Representatives from Arizona, on January 8, 2011, just a week into her third term,  was a victim of an assassination attempt near Tucson,[at a Safeway supermarket where she was meeting publicly with constituents. She was critically injured by a gunshot wound to the head;[ a total of thirteen people were injured and six others were killed in the shooting, among them federal judge John Roll and a 9-year-old child, Christina-Taylor Green.


The major and biggest cause of suicide is mental health depression so they say.  The causes of depression are numerous and solutions require therapists and doctors and pills.  Phone calls and face time are proven successes these days.

Solutions also require change .

It seems perfectly acceptable and normal to have Chinatowns and little Italy's and Polands and Little Indias in major cities everywhere.

" if you build it - they will  come ".

It's time for the "tribe nations " to ask for different solutions.


There is an appalling lack of knowledge out there regarding "the bond market"
You are not helping matters much here.
You have not discussed yield versus loss of NAV
You have not discussed GoC versus corporate,US Treasuries or high yield
You have not addressed duration,or laddered bond funds.
You have not clarified how groups of bonds are bundled into a ETF.
You have not discussed inflation adjusted bonds.
You make no reference to the (widely available) "forecast" for GoC bonds,US Treasuries etc etc
You have not discussed the "antidote" to bonds in a rising rate environment;resetting preferred shares.
(PPL.A just as an example up 25% in the past 8 months)
Perhaps most importantly you have not alluded to how "bond like equities" (T,EMA,BCE,ENB etc) carrying a 4-5% yield will tend to trade in sync with the bond market itself.They are all down in the past 6 months...just as most bond funds are.


The long term solution is not to hand out bread and circuses.  The goal is to make these
people self supporting to the extent possible and to help them get there.
Otherwise, all you are doing is building a permanent underclass who believe that they
are supposed to be provided for.  You do this and you are creating a mob who will
eventually turn on the rest of society and think nothing of it.


HPD is one of the most corrupt police forces in the nation, IMO.


>"...the symbolism of a woman stretching out her hand in a desire for Communion, only to be degraded, dictated to, and sent away empty seemed like an apt ritualization of our experience."

So sad.  So true.  To complain about a lack of vocations and the numbers of women walking away is rank hypocrisy from a Church that treats the "other" sex like lesser beings in whom God has no real interest and  with whom he would rather avoid contact.


If tomorrow "illegal" were defined differently then my views would be different. My views are based on the law. I just want people to obey the rules like everyone else does, or should. Without rules (or without people obeying the rules) we have chaos and that is what we are in now. I'm not saying the laws are all moral but that are what is in place and they need to be followed. If they change and "legal" is redefined, then those laws are what need to be followed. Yes, "legal" and "illegal" are arbitrary terms that have been applied in various ways across history but they have set definitions at this point in time in our country and for the sake of order and short-term consistency they need to be followed.


Seems ironic that McDonald's is trying to bring traffic into the stores while at the same time driving away families with severe food allergies. Since our family has a child with a nut allergy, we won't be visiting McDonald's again.


Not nearly as "convenient" as it is for the shooter.


Lie! Trudeau always supported Keystone (including as an MP), even in front of Obama.


What an utterly astonishing and necessary article. Thank you.


Sorry about all that because that is one of my favorite shows.  I live in Central Point, OR and would like to know if the treehouse was completed and where was it built and was it 2014?  I believe I would be living close to the build.  Thanks, Rose


Entitled to his entitlements. Remember that from the last Liberal government? They look after their own and don't care about anyone else. Canadians everywhere should be ashamed.


To continue ..... Some folks never have been taught or were exposed to a life where word choice was an option not a neighborhood dialect. And when some did learn some have decided well in your face with it.
Again, another area for dialogue and reflection together for some time to come. Now time to reread Huckleberry Finn and some of the other banned books. Bowlderlization and old school  Catholic versions tried to stop the use of these words . I don't think it worked though I understand the thought process. You can't control life and who we are both the not so great and the very great.


It is clueless and ignorant to think lack of money is what caused you to be clueless and ignorant. As huge amounts of cash poured into the schools results plummeted.
Perhaps the reverse could happen. Cut the funding, teach the basics and let teachers rule their classroom rather than abide by rules from afar.


Ha Kalmia, personal insults are disrespectful, my response was not discussing dumbing down the editorial, but actually going for higher ground, 4HS


And to be honest, this is the problem i would like to be solved. I hope the voter id laws are put aside by the SC until we get resolution - it is the only fair way and also will exert the pressure needed to get this done.


You make some good points.
But the mere fact that a person is in a war zone, under constant stress and possibly experiencing others trauma, if not his or her own, is traumatic in itself. One doesn't have to actually experience combat in order to be traumatized, whether in a war or out.


Refiloe, you are a brave and inspiring person. It takes immense courage to challenge traditions, but they certainly need challenging desperately. Very few things are as harmful to society as arbitrary and discriminatory traditional practises, so thank you for starting this conversation. I would like to propose a new tradition for all tradition-based societies: Review your traditions once every 5 years, using your current level of intelligence and understanding of acceptable practises.


O'Malley is a careerist who is really only concerned with his upward mobility and not so much with victims of clerical abuse. He is a "wagon circular" in my view. Sad.


It appears the killer in this situation broke several laws.  What makes you think more laws would have prevented this?  If someone is hell bent on killing a bunch of people, then they will kill a bunch of people. Although this was a horrible thing that happened, we need to keep it in perspective.  The media likes to play on our fears.  In Chicago this year alone over 1000 people have been shot and more than 700 have died from shootings.  The majority of these shootings in Chicago are from hand guns.  In 2017 under 100 people have died from mass shootings.  So if you do the math, 7 x more people in Chicago have died from HAND gun violence than from mass shootings and this is just ONE city in the US.  If it was about keeping people safe, the Left would go after hand guns, not "assault" weapons.


“Putin & I discussed forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit so that election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded … and safe." -- Trump, Sunday morning

“The fact that President Putin and I discussed a Cyber Security unit doesn’t mean I think it can happen. It can’t.” -- Trump, Sunday night

He'll have to start putting his shoes on backwards, because not a day passes when he doesn't have to walk something back.


No one has yet explained what was tasteless or offensive about it, it was about an anachronistic title and whether it was still relevant today.


The story writes itself.

Whatever goes wrong will be Obama's fault.

Whatever goes right, DJT will take the credit even if it had nothing to do with him.


No. I was shown a silly comment to judge while posting something else. I responded to the silly comment.


Taby's articles are always infested with the crazy left.
it's the only place where they can find tranquility these days.


As anti-tax, anti-Federal government as most residents of Colorado Springs are (I know, I live here); what are they doing taking gub'ment handouts?


Geez Paul, and YOU complain about my "vitriol"? What did I write, Paul? I wrote that our nation would be far healthier if everyone had health care, as in every other civilized nation and in many second and third-world nations.  Is that vitriol? If that's ideology, it's far more compassionate ideology than yours. And yes, people who think they "made it" 100% on their own are blind to reality. As anyone can plainly see by walking among the afflicted and deranged downtown, what goes around comes around. It affects us all. Your job depends on others, including the subsidized, to make your paycheck.

I'm on Medicare and Social Security because I paid into those programs all my working life, minus military service. I also have supplemental service which has gone up 100% in six years, and part D, which has gone up 150%. In addition, thanks to Bill Clinton, I pay 100$ a month out of SS into Medicare.

I don't need subsidy, I subsidize my own SS and Medicare. Others aren't so fortunate.


Sauri: You're probably correct that most of the unauthorized migrants now crossing the border into Canada who had entered the U.S. on visas will eventually be determined not to be refugees. But that's not the point. While pursuing their refugee claims they will be eligible for costly social programs and services and will strain an already underresourced refugee adjudication system. And even if denied status will they leave Canada? Many probably won't do so on their own and I understand that Canada's removal record isn't stellar.


Reaching for a questionable quote that someone put in his book, 30 years after supposed incident, without any other verifiable source is a make a wish come true for some.

But one quote of LBJ's that is verifiable is what did happen, when he put down his pen after signing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law, Johnson said to an aide "We have lost the South for a generation".

He was a bit off, time wise. That will probably take, your 200 years.


The two foundational “principles” of the Alaska Legislature is: spend what we do not have and pay what we have to private companies in cash and tax credits to create an illusion of a healthy economy.

If all tax credits and cash subsidies were eliminated, then would no company be willing to invest in production to bring to market natural resources from our state?

Our $3.5 or is it $3.8 or $4.2 billion, BILLION-dollar deficit, is very principled and has resulted in spending more than $15,000 per person in the state and paying private companies to “earn” their company profits.

How much more principled can you get?

Failing grades for fiscal responsibility and sound economic policy go to:  Rep. Cathy Munoz, R-Juneau, Rep. Jim Colver, R-Palmer, Rep. Tammie Wilson, R-North Pole.

Passing grades to: Rep. Dave Talerico, R-Healy, Fairbanks Rep. David Guttenberg, D-Fairbanks.

A nod of respect to Rep. Lynn Gattis, R-Wasilla for her principled stand on state employee pay raises.


Sheehan is terrific.  She is the smartest member of that board by far and by far the best qualified.  WE need more like her on boards and commissions.


Thanks to Trump, we desperately need more vegans.  Encourage all of your friends to go vegan.  During the coming zombie apocalypse they will become your lawful prey.  Vegans - weak, dumb, slow and easy to catch, but may be deficient in some nutrients.


. . . but if not, then DEFINITELY assign additional investigation by Mueller (or another special prosecutor) of Trump's relationship with Weinstein, and the facts Trump observed, heard or PARTICIPATED IN, that gave rise to Trump's being "not surprised" about what is coming out agaisnt Weinstein.

Trump's acknowledgement of a relationship with Weinstein, acknowledgement of knowing things sufficient to form a belief, understanding or opinion about allegations, and his former explicit descriptions (with approval) of conduct that is similar to allegations about Weinstein, HAVE to make everyone at least wonder whether Trump was a witness, participant, or after the fact receiver of descriptions of Weinstein's conduct.

p.s.  Thanks lespark, for opening this important issue up.  Without your comment of questionable relevance, I wouldn't have been able to organize into words the troubling buzz Trump's admissions had caused me since I saw them on VIDEO.


1) Why is so important that the train get to an upscale shopping mall favored by wealthy tourists and owned by a tax exempt real estate trust?

2) Shouldn’t  the luxury shopping mall be paying for their own train station?

3) You are falling victim to the “sunk costs” fallacy.  Chasing massive expenses with more money is not the act of responsible government, it’s the desperate act of a compulsive gambler.

4) What has Mr Caldwell and lying rail cheerleaders ever gotten right?  Even this THIRD bailout plan didn’t get a chance for the ink to dry before the Mayor was back asking for even more!! Did you even read the story above?


I see the main stream media and the Republicans war on the VA is paying dividends.  VA gets as good or better health outcomes than does private health care and the people who use it are more satisfied than those in the general population.

She sounds like she is pretty free already.  I'm not sure what would change if granted parole.  Maybe the diversion program limits the number of cats and dogs she can have.


Im sure that's the kind of misinformation you love us to believe so you can get your italy-styled proportional representation in BC. Sorry to burst you bubble with some truth but the NDP campaigned on a referendum only before any electoral reform. No we did not just "have it".......


1. gas taxes dont come near to paying for roads now.
2. Per KM taxation. Already being tested in Seattle.


I dont. I treat my dogs and cats as though i know for a fact someone is just itching to put a pellet or bullet through them for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I don't know who Peter Singer is. I'm closing on 50, Disney channel didn't do it.

I have morals, values and empathy for all life, these are not "stupidity" Fred.

...An outspoken devout muslim telling ME equating dogs to human children is pathetic and stupid?
morals aren't found in a book, you have them or you don't.


It's about time someone came up with an out-of-the-box solution to ease the situation.  Online and evening classes, what a novel idea (said sarcastically).  This should've been done about 10 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!


Woohoo! BIG scandal!

Is that all you got? It's laughable.


It's like Trump is enjoying himself in the midst of others' catastrophic losses.
Because he is.


Very much a socialist response. All of the items you support, like it or not, are forced upon you, you get no choice. In a truly free society you would be upset if you were forced to pay to take care of someone else's children, but the logic of "free" escapes you I am sure.

The editorial's conclusion tells me that the only way that we are going to get any answers of substance on how things are with the project is to put the City on the hot seat in the hearing rooms where this request will be heard out.

Great, so we need our reps in the state to grill the reps in the city for information that the City and HART should be providing, anyway, to the shareholders of the city - its residents and taxpayers.

I suppose...after all Iran Contra and Watergate were not fully exposed until the US Senate opened up special hearings on the issues, in which the truth came out. Perhaps the State needs to do the same thing?

I LOVE glass beach in California!  I tell anyone traveling near there to go check it out!  Incredible! 😄


I agree.  I was thinking of the smaller churches, and you are correct, corporate churches have no hesitation in wielding political power.  The tent revivals have gone corporate, and there are indeed many charlatans and parasites.  To put a limit on their tax exemption is an excellent idea.   Not sure how that can happen for awhile, with a reality TV star in the WH.


Actually Justin broke his promise to avoid any perceived conflicts of interest and transparency.


"More to come."

Don't bother, what's here already has all the hallmarks of fake news.


The Duffy trial was pure harper vinditiveness and an attempt to frame the misuse of Conservative Senators for party purposes as sins by the appointed rather than the appointee. I agree with the rest of what you say.


I'm shocked.   These are probably the same legislators who support the Affordable Care Act but are totally against Obamacare.   Gotta stop that Bill Walker from accomplishing ANYTHING before his first term ends.   We take that federal money there goes Alaska's sovereignty.


The bill was written by Monsanto lobbyists.  Reason enough for a NO vote. Thanks Bernie and Jeff.


It will cost Americans and legal immigrants over 700k jobs. There are ways to get legal status. Their parents and now them continue to thumb their noses at US law.

Thanks to you, I will never again be able to look at an image of Trump jr. without  thinking  Jethro.
Damn you!!


Way to go D  I come now your gone. You don't take nothin above eight. Good luck.


I learned how to get wealthy from Trump, part a sucker from his dollar and use other people's money to pay off your debts and call it "charity".  I wish I knew that 50 years ago.    But I did find something more obnoxious than Trump, his over paid for portrait.


If you've read the article above, you'd see you're flat wrong on the facts. As one person interviewed said: "People are going to march on the capitols. . . They're going to do whatever needs to be done to get her out of office, because she does not belong there."

This is not what happens in a country like ours, where elections are decided by the vote. This is what people do  in third world backwaters like Ethiopia, Syria, Libya, or Niger - countries where the rule of law is only symbolic, and the transfer of power is accompanied by mass violence, which inevitably leads to the collapse of all civil society.

This is why Trump and his minions are dangerous to our democracy. These aren't patriots - these are alienated losers with guns, wholly and totally ignorant of history and world events.


this i.e. outdoor equipment such as true offroad Jeeps & RVs, along with military and maybe company vans, are the 3 real areas where I expect gas/diesel to remain as part of serial hybrids.  I think for all but company vans, that series hybrids with MULTIPLE smaller eng-gens makes great sense. At this time, things like company vans, like for plumbers, where they transport lots of tools and supplies, but then sit for hours or even days, should remain as plain old ICE for a long time, until EVs become truely cheaper just to own. At this time, Tesla EVs are cheaper to own due to better economic efficieny (i.e. electricity is much cheaper per kwh), and teslas now have the best resale value of any cars going. Shortly, as major car makers switch to EVs, they will be forced to do decent EVs and not this junk they currently do (bolt, i3, leaf, etc are pretty much $20-25K junk that costs ~30-40K)

If you truly believe that, then why doesn't the CPC do the same thing?

Stevie, your comment that "if she were white" she'd be treated differently, is <i>classic</i> racism. Offer some evidence, or don't say it.


Agreed, I would like 'freedom from religion and beliefs' to be included in our Charter


The sooner, the better. Even his own party has turned on Trump, and it's just a matter of time. His few supporters that are still around are white nationalists, Vladimir Putin, and a small portion of the uneducated voters who supported him in the first place.


I met a nice young woman at the Verizon store yesterday named Aween.  I asked her what kind of name that was, and she replied "Kurdish."  She said her dad is serving in Iraq in the US Army Military Intelligence as an interpreter, speaking Kurdish and Farsi.

How many millions are you willing to see slaughtered by sectarian violence in the Middle East before you say, "Enough?"  Does it not affect you because they aren't white people?

William F. Buckley was asked by a reporter if he agreed with the policy of non-intervention.  He replied, "I categorically reject it.  We could have intervened in 1930's Germany with a small application of force.  The cost of waiting is measured by 45 million lives."


I truly wish that someone would carefully define and describe, for me and others, what "academic freedom" means, why it is, seemingly for some or even many, of such high and even ultimate public importance, and why it is so important to faculty members.

Dr. Potter's article was an op-ed piece, at best an interesting perspective of his emotions and views on Montreal and Quebec society. It was not a well considered, nor a fact based, nor a peer reviewed, academic paper. Given this, his writing the paper, and the subsequent criticism, has nothing to do with academic freedom. It, simply, had nothing to do with being an academic, unless one presumes that being an academic allows one to offer opinions on anything, no matter what evidence or experience one has.

My best understanding of academic freedom is that it has somehting to do with the freedom to wisely choose and pursue one's research; but, it comes with an equal responsibility to be thoughtful, fact-based, and peer-reviewed in carry


Boy, you're a Klansman straight from central casting. ..


Wow, almost failed the test. I said two test posts were civil, but apparently they’d already been deemed not be. One more and I’m out.

Again, this isn’t so much as the “community” judging certain foggy standards, but a test as to whether you agree with someone else’s standards.

And I don’t know why they wouldn’t be considered civil. In one, the post refered to someone else as “dum dum.” I guess that’s the tipping point, a meaningless and made-up word isn’t “civil.”

Great system.


Or, cut off potable water to KM and friends that they so desperately want.  Can there really never be compromise when big money isn’t in the picture?


Firstly , gutting is your spin and debatable and secondly cutting bureaucracy does not always result in deaths. You "know" none of these things. They are simply a reflection of your demented POV.


Good thing media has no bias and your publication has not attempted (rather clumsily) to shill for Clinton at every turn. Blah ,blah ,blah indeed


It was weighted heavily towards location and number of trails.


CU1 has gotten so bad that they ask "how was this money earned?" Every time I deposit a check from my employer.  I've gotten to the point of telling them it's none of their business.  That reply seems to work considering I've been a member for 20 years.


Thank you, Vicky, for your article and your support of this family.


Heaven forbid we have one more male minister in the current 15/15 male/female cabinet. What a sorry excuse for a cabinet selection.


It is a constitutional matter that the Liberals want foreign governments/foreign currency to own Canada's infrastructure.

The blatant atrocity of the money laundering in Canada and the cover up of even KPMG is not only sinister - you are ruining lives.


More ignorant posting on your part.  You don't understand how the judicial system in Alaska works so you wave your arms about hysterically and keep typing.


When the men are killing other men over $120 worth of marijuana, where, other than a cage, do you propose to put them?  The two involved in today's news already were already on probation and one in a drug program.  You have room in your house for them, perhaps?

The U.S. debt to China is $1.157 trillion, as of September 2016. China' debt to the US is 843 billion.  Trump is reckless.


Next, the journalists will either a) told what questions to ask and/or b) start their question by praising Trump's effort thus far like the absurd meeting yesterday.


Nearly 75% physically present because they "had to be" at a time when many believed it was mandatory and there would be h*ll to pay if they didn't.

Mentally, emotionally, spiritually present?  That would be what matters, I think, not another check on the attendance list.


Just enforce the existing Federal Law and untie the hands of the Border Patrol let them do their jobs and refuse Mexicans access to court for trespassing on American ranches and let ranchers use trespass laws to keep out illegal invaders.


A cause-and-effect relationship has been proven to exist between fracking and earthquakes.  I suggest you especially check with Oklahoma, where they frack unabated.  It even occurred right here in the city of Denver back in the '60s, when they pumped nuclear waste into the ground, in the same manner as fracking "water."


The guy plays 1 tournament after a 1.5 year layoff and after several other tournaments with back problems and you right him off. I wish you would just report the facts about a sports event and let us make our own minds up about what it means. Bill Baldwin


what about value for money and the competence of these teachers?  Pretty sure that will will be an eye opener.

The airy fairy, lack of hard facts and scientific analysis is a hallmark of the social justice warriors, teachers unions and usual activists.  No better than creationists.  OISE is not going to give you any real facts, because they were the ones pushing full day kindergarten without any analysis of cost or standardized evaluation criteria.


Perhaps that act should be overhauled so there is consistency in law across Canada?

This is anything but political grandstanding - it's about the disparity of results between police service units. Goodale is doing his job - are the police doing their job consistently? Why are some for thorough than others? Is there a particular reason for say the York region to have such a higher number of cases that are not pursued compared to the City of Toronto? An investigation might show there are common attributes between complainants - is there discrimination of any kind involved?


As in any major political crime, two questions are paramount: cui bono, and who had the technical capability to penetrate Iranian security at these very important institutional targets.


I worried about the Canada I love

Oh, Boo hoo...

Another lecture from an entitled academic?

There is no racial discrimination in your little (made up maybe) story.

My first name, while rare, is from classical literature, yet it gets mangled all the time. I routinely get asked if I have a short nickname they can use when ordering something. I learned life is easier if I say John, Nick... I actually have fun picking names.

Go find a real cause to write about. When you are chief resident at UBC you don't get to complain how badly this country has treated you.


Russia didn't annex the Crimea?
Wow...


Sounds like the protection needed to keep the Pebble Project from ruining salmon streams is being done away with, too bad for all the BB fishermen and women. Not sure how EPA works in AK , does the Fed EPA give permission to the State EPA? If so I would bet the Fed can take all regulation back at will and tweet in new regs, after of course getting the maximum contributions from the owners. Trump will probably want to gild most of the White house anyway as that's what his house is like and what a great connection to the working class of America. The workers of course may not see any streams but can expect to see much new alpine type mountains in all directions, good luck with your groundwater.
Really nobody lives on the Pebble prospect and why would anyone want to live in West Virginia or any other coal site, we still need a nuclear waste site and Duke energy has all those ash waste pits. What is coal country anyway, 25% of America? We can import "food" cheaper than we can grow it


Safeway has the best donuts and are very reasonably priced.


You can't be much more proactive when you're already sending out multiple warnings to the landlord and voicing your concerns.
It's not like they live in a house and can just DIY fix whatever's unsafe.


Lemonade was another level of art. Adele realized that in her acceptance speech. But alas, the safe choice (which was also a beautiful album) won.


It's hard to compete when our government taxes us to death while ignoring all the overseas "residents" who should be paying taxes here but don't.


That's the kind of argument segregationists made in the American South. "If you don't like getting discriminated against, don't go to that university/school/hotel/restaurant"


They should hire on new people to just emts, not firefighters.  The "old" emts can stay. If increased costs are associated with increased medical calls and firefighters rarely actually fight fires, why hire more?


Their biggest expenses will be greens fees, restaurants and of course Michelle's designer frocks.  Barry is going have to write a lot a biographies and give a lot of speeches for Goldman Sachs.


“list the harm to our national security that Hillary has done?”

Her deliberate attempt to avoid the risk of FOIA exposure of her commingling govt and foundation business by processing classified, encrypted traffic IN CLEAR TEXT on her home brew server in the basement of her private residence, - - instead of on her protected government equipment - - risked hostile intelligence service breaking our highly sensitive crypto codes on ALL traffic.

How serious is that? For years Navy warrant officer Johnny Walker had been selling crypto codes to the Soviets then in January 1968 they got their hands on crypto HARDWARE in the spy ship USS PUEBLO (AGER-2) captured by the DPRK. From then on they could read highly sensitive traffic in real time, including orders to our submarine USS SCORPION to surveill a Soviet at sea exercise on her way back to home port Norfolk: armed with this advance routing information Soviet anti submarine forces ambushed and sunk SCORPION.


"It took modern feminism to change that.Ah yes, the "ism" and the "ist" to the rescue."

 It was changing social mores over a period of time, not people yelling.


Continued from above... Anyone who has taken a class in stream ecology learns that evolution has selected for aquatic organisms that recover quickly from disturbance, as streams are subjected to periodic catastrophic events. Floods, debris flows, extreme  drought, and disturbance associated with wildfire are regular players shaping invertebrate communities. Invertebrates recolonize by drift and reproduction by aerial adults. Fish, returned to streams within days after treatment has ceased, thrive and show tremendous growth because many invertebrates do remain and reproduce. Reduced competition from reduced numbers of fish means the returned fish show impressive growth and healthy reproduction. These projects have been ongoing for decades to restore native cutthroat, Gila, and Apache trout in the West, and brook trout in the East, to name just a few examples of the use of rotenone in native species conservation, and instead of devastation, we have protected populations of native fishes.


Just, whatever.


Maybe there should be, but after living here for a long time, it's just become something of a known thing for Alaskans that outside criminals will try to hide in Alaska.  It's getting a lot harder for them, though!


if only we had train service running btw WY-CO-NM. didn't they have a proposal out there for this to become a high speed rail corridor?

hate to deny the family the chance to view this thing, but cannot imagine a 6 hr return ride being much fun for any of us.


You forgot the anarchists.


No emotional framework.  Straightforward cost benefit analysis.


As for the blaming one party or the other issue. Both parties were dead wrong in dealing with this miscreant and his family.  The choices for Canadians at the ballot box remain atrocious. We remain in an era of complete leadership incompetency from the Mulroney GOV on. This is the current crisis and number ONE priority for all Canadians.  We need competent leadership with more than bilingualism as the asset. This bilingual, failed drama teacher never had the experience or character for this position. Period. A Canadian population reacted in a collective fugue to vote him in because our choices are not viable. And, this trudeau moment is definitely our trump moment. We need proper laws to impeach and to recall incompetence from Ottawa or even Toronto (ford nation) when rampant incompetence rears its head. How does this pmo feel Canada? You voted him in.


...White House:  Trump's condemnation includes "white supremacists, KKK, neo-Nazi and all extremist groups"...

True. Everyone except haters acknowledge that.  However the Anti-Trump Faction considers President Trump, and those who voted for or support him, to be on par w/those aforementioned Organizations.


The Mastery Learning Model has been researched and implemented in various forms across North America for over 30 years.  It is good model.  But as with any model of teaching it requires a great deal of work by teachers who will diligently follow its precepts.  However, it appears that there are many other factors in the Shanghai system which suggest that transposing these methods to British classrooms will have the same mediocre impact that the model has had in North American schools.  The North American experience has been plagued by a lack of mathematical background by teachers, inadequate provisions for cooperative planning among teachers and lacklustre adherence to the principles which undergird the model.


These political leaders can be arrested I would not put it past Jeff Session to prosecute them.


Alaska has always been about money though. It started with furs, then went to gold, then fishing, copper (the Carnegie fortune was made at Kennicott), then logging, then massive influx of federal defense dollars for the cold war build up,  then came oil (which eclipsed them all). My family came here in the late 1940 's and from what I've been told from great aunts , uncles, etc, they cam here for economic opportunity, not to "live at one with nature".


Who said anything about Russians? Its Putin whos the problem. And no one cares about him participating in our "marketplace of ideas". Its his participation in our elections and his grooming of and leverage over our current president thats the problem. The sad thing is while hes an annoying problem for us, hes far worse to his fellow Russians whom he readily imprisons, tortures and kills for things that are universal rights such as disagreeing with him, being gay, Muslim or a minority. Many of the trolls he uses to flood our social media with have been coerced by him into doing so, often by threats to them or their families. Perhaps instead of reinforcing their oppression by welcoming them to our participate in our message boards you should instead be looking for and fighting for ways to welcome their defection from a violent totalitarian dictator or better yet trying to end that dictators evil reign. But youre right, those things you mention arent treason, theyre just stupid and mean.


Are you a Stoner?  It sure would appear so, from your handle of 420.

.


This is good, this 48 hr rule is a stain on our ability to control our police force and the attempt to rid our city of it has been going on for years.  May the COAB finally succeed in doing something, that would be good!


Why are you concerned that Russia and China are not screwing with us?


and yet now all we see is the left yelling insulting, making threats, just like nazi germany!


Why did Trudeau decide to settle anyway?  If Khadr was poised to be awarded even more through the completion of court process, then why would he agree to the settlement?  Trudeau should have just stayed out of it.


So what's exactly from this administration the new excuse ??.


This "service duck" stuff is so much crap.. Service dog is an animal trained to provide sight for the blind, one trained to perform necessary functions for handicapped, not some stinky little (insert specie) critter who's owner thinks it's cute to drag around thru resteurants, grocery stores - and yes - airlines.. If your mind is so screwed you can't live without a comfort animal - get a teddy bear


I am voting against every incumbents out there. None of them deserves an another term. Not one! They should all be jettison out of the airlock! (I am sure Starfleet Command will not be happy about all these floating bodies 250 years from now!!)


And yet Florida, which is also subjected to a high salt environment in addition to being hit by far more hurricanes than any other state, ranks number one in road quality.


I'm surprised that the mayor ratted out the drunk.  True, he didn't give a name but it could have just said that emotions were high or something like that.  Of course there's no excuse for being drunk at the meeting but now it becomes a personal attack.  Hold yourself to a higher level Mr mayor.


Not true.  Everyone needs a good laugh in their day.


the 3 million votes came from California's 10 million illegals who got to vote.

Get your fake news facts straight amigo.....


Harper's consistently ruinous judgment continues to cost us. This time: $10M. Too bad he doesn't have to pay it out of his own pocket.


Every thing you folks disagree with is 'fake news". Funny.


By now the developers should know the bureaucrats strategy. Delay, delay, delay.  It costs the builders money and it costs the state nothing. The governor is a master of doing nothing, he's been doing it his entire political career.  This will drag on forever.


From Day One, Trump was anti-immigrant. So where was Vasquez et al when the USCCB video, “The Right to Religious Freedom,” showed a clip of Hillary Clinton while a voice-over intoned that “the government is stopping us from practicing our faith”? Or when US bishops made numerous public pronouncements critical of both Clinton and Tim Kaine? Trump won the highest percentage of Catholic voters (52% ) for a Republican candidate since 2004 as compared to 46% of popular vote. The bishops are closing the barn door too late.


Hi Bob. Tell me more about shipwrecks and drill platform disasters. Mind if I add that the Trans Alaska Pipeline is still doing fine after decades of use?


No, you would be deflecting.


No, it was to distract people so they wouldn't notice how stupid she sounds.


I believe trump campaigned on secure borders, improved economy and better healthcare.

Facebook, fat, drunk, stupid and welfare we all part of HRC's platform and she lost


Man, you guys still haven't figured out the difference between prediction polling and opinion polling, huh?


What a puzzling poster you are. You comment as an avid Trump supporter.Are you Canadian?  If so, I am completely flabbergasted as to why anyone so fortunate to live in Canada would find  Trump so appealing and defend his actions to strongly.
Please help us all understand why you do this.


Like in Philadelphia, Pa.?

and black market weed comes from mexico, making the example extremely relevant
until marijuana pushers can use modern banking, and the supply comes from legit farmers, and the sale is legal at the federal level - it will continue to be a crime-organization dominated industry with deadly results


Great article. I agree with entire article. I'm sure those who don't work will dislike it because they want those of us who do to pay more.


Um... He is trying to distract you from the NYT coverage of his rather spectacular conflicts of interest. Very similar to his shrill tweets about Hamilton just as his $25M fraud settlement was announced.
 Ignore this. Go back to the violations of the emoluments clause.


Never to early to get the message out there. I am READY for 2017!


this is a major reason why we need to be welcoming refugees by the boatloads, many of them are are skilled techies with brain power far above millions of those residing in the US who are crying for brainless Muslim bans, bogus $Trillion walls, and destructive deportation.


Sorry to tell ya Glenn but your proposing a way to get yours and eliminate others.  The Zobel case clearly is the law of the land.  You should read the finding of the court.


It is unacceptable that 33 of 53 Alaskan police departments have declined to comply with the governor's request. We need those police departments named so they can hear from their own community about their department's incomprehensible decision to devalue this evidence and obstruct likely prosecutions. Are we a third world country where the culture (and police) consider rape "the natural order of things?"


Prosecute the Bast_____!


Having re-read Lela's post, I tend to concur more with your interpretation than I did originally.  The fallacy is that the US had "freedom" before the Civil War.  Certainly reflected in her repeatedly expressed "Gone With the Wind" views of the Antebellum south.


the CAF is finished with this disgrace of a soldier.


This is my best friend you're talking about, who always yells at me for driving too fast. He was intoxicated and walking at night, in dark clothes in the lane. Her life is now completely traumatized by this accident that she will have to live with forever. So, Show some fucking human decency, instead of parading your idiotic logic on the internet you twat.


Right!  For 7 years they've said that they would retake the House, the Senate, and the Presidency (in 2016), and they haven't.


"Caldwell also testified at the meeting’s start that the FTA “will allow nothing less” than building the full 20-mile line to Ala Moana Center. During a later exchange with Sen. Gil Riviere (D, Heeia- Laie-Waialua), a prominent rail critic, Caldwell acknowledged that it’s still not clear whether the federal agency would accept a scaled-back version of the project as part of rail’s recovery process."

Cadwell is a professional certifiable liar. He has been from the start. Yet, here we are poised to throw him billions more. Ten years of the GET will produce more than he's saying will be needed to complete the project, which of course he is lying again saying it's only $10 bilion. This is why the city doesn't want the forensic audit, it will show billions more needed to complete. The Leg should also demand the city's plan to fund operation and maintenance...where the heck is that plan? Rail is looney tunes people. You wanted it you got it. Suckers.


Come, come James. It is easily determined from the wording of this article that the driver of an RV was naked and spilled recently purchased hot coffee between the thighs while attempting to change the Lynard Skinner CD playing in the overhead compartment. (sarc)


It was a biker hit... the white guy shot up the mosque since the Muslim men who were inside were undercutting the bikers by selling low grade OC to old age homes. Thus the biker leader sanctioned a hit on the Muslim guys inside. Nothing was race or terrorism related to that shooting.


It's a "berthie" not a "birthie", goathairie.


Everywhere, HOLY SPIRIT INDWELLS, and we all do well when we intentionally link to Grace Harmonics, male to female, female to male. In all its forms, intentional terrorism/ dissonance/ violence is diabolical, antithetical to The Divine. Trimorphic Resonance is the Wave of the Future, as in the past. http://www.secondenlightenment.org/godlikenessatwork.pdf


And your repeated claim that the residential schools were on par with the Holocaust shows just how deep and thorough your understanding is of either.


Even without the reference to the MP your comment would be nixed.


Um, he was referring to the grammatical error, which was corrected last night, so clearly someone at the R-G super-duper vised it. Hate to see you waste a perfectly inappropriate rant.


It's hard to negotiate in good faith with someone whose negotiating mandate can be summed up in 10 simple words.

So the kid shot two blocks away in rino, then walked into our neighborhood and died conveniently can be ignored... 🤔


So WIKI (socialist) has complete articles about made-up words. OK.

The criminal regime of Israel is a disgrace, and none more so than Netanyahoo.


Care to add some significant and credible evidence to this claim? Otherwise, it's empty and unwarranted. But if you would like to elaborate, please do ...


Just goes to show that the republican party runs on hate.


Bottom line is, we voters have to step in to make beneficial changes. Legislators (lawmakers) feathered their personal beds with little scrutiny by the public, but for now, Thank Goodness the issues are getting attention.
We need to reduce the power of the Leg. to grant themselves benefits. Public should be just that - not self-service.
HB44 is crucial to put some teeth in the Leg.ETHICS RULES. Then, with open meetings we have a chance to slay the real dragon in the pantry -BigOil.
Many things, like the obvious FRAUD of the AncLIO, collecting per diem while in Germany (McGuire), shipping massive freight home on the public $ (Olson) trips after being "dis-elected" (a bunch of the bums) should be made criminal, then investigated, prosecuted, etc.
 No more blind eyes by Legislators to crooked deals done by other Leg.- members of the Legislative, Aristocratic Brotherhood (think CBClub)
And curtail the Gov's ability to waste $ on that obscene Pipe Dream.


I suppose that if the Conservatives agreed with Bernier, then they would have chosen him as leader.


Given the number of non-white people who cross into the U.S. every day, from all ports of entry , the lines will be gettig very long and they will have to buld new facilities to hold them all, if your idea of skin colour was the only reason for her being detained.. The Globe will have to create a separate section in the paper for the hundreds if not thousands of daily stories that will appear, again using your logic that this was simply colour. Did you ever wonder why they let the dozen two dozen or whatever it was pass on through ?Didyou even bother to think that there might be something else at play  here. No, like a whole lot of other people you rished to judgement without even knowing the full story.  I hope you are not on jury duty anytime soon .


Hover shoes?


And if he would have covered it up and hid it from the American public to protect Hillary this would be ok?  When people found out and they would they would have burned down the FBI and DOJ to the ground.


areu: 2 points. First - it's the cpc that has to change most - they're the party that needs to catch up on votes. The Liberals are doing just fine.  So maybe fix the cpc problems first?
Second - where did your comment about 'treason' come from?


You might not agree with it, but there were lots of laws in the US that were, more or less, inherited from the Brits and their laws based on Christianity.  For example, anti-sodomy laws are of Christian derivative and were in every state up until 1962 when the sex perverts started lobbying for sexual freedom.  There is no reason Constitutionally why, with a conservative Court, all of the SCOTUS decisions that were legislative in effect on such issues couldn't be overturned on the basis of separation of powers.


He doesn't need to expressly bring up the failures of SB21 to make the point that many of it's principal components do not work for the benefit of the State of Alaska. ACES could have been revised rather than completely done away with and replaced with the giveaway known as SB21. Whether or not the industry is profiting is something we are not allowed access to hence Mr. Brena's call for more extensive auditing of the true cost/profits of industry. They are not going to leave the state when they are intact making Billions of Dollars in profits with infrastructure in place and paid for many times over.


Except, I am willingly having a conversation with you which demonstrates interest. I have stated that I condone and support their actions thus far which also demonstrates interest. Finally, I've also analyzed some other potential options they chose not to engage in and said clearly that I support their current choice. This demonstrates concern. smh

Listen, I come from a military family and most of my friends are military/former military. I appreciate that you are trying to protect their honor. I just see the sacrifices made by our military as much more than your narrowly focused view. I do not see taking a knee or both knees as disrespectful. I do however think that booing over the national anthem IS disrespectful. I come to this conclusion because only one of these choices is reasonably disruptive.


Absolutely disgraceful policy.


Oh Concetta, I wish you could turn super powers on to pedestrians as well: the ones who hop out between parked cars and expect you to stop on a dime, the ones who dash across the crosswalk as the light turns yellow and long after the walk signal who stop traffic from clearing the intersection, the ones who never look up from their phones to see what traffic is doing around them, the ones who literally blend into the background but expect to be seen, and on it goes.  I'm a both a pedestrian and a driver and neither side is without their faults in this.  Both could use more common sense and respect for the other.


don't care I'll be long gone. so you will you for that matter.


It's so hard to tell these days.


These are the factors related to EMF effects on biological tissue:
- Frequency - Cell phone frequency ranges are far below the threshold where they cause tissue ionization damage.
- Energy/power - again far below thermal damage threshold.
No statistically significant effects have been demonstrated in many such clinical studies.
On the other hand - don't stick your head into a microwave oven  .-)


Interesting.  So, a racist white baker could simply reject making a cake that has wording or imaging honoring Martin Luther King?


If only it were a fair system where we could save on taxes.
It is a fact that union workers make a good wage, have amazing benefits, and early retirement that many of us cannot afford. Please be thankful that you have a good County job that many of us would dream of having.  Many unemployed and immigrants only have access to free healthcare and these services. Our elderly parents and the average worker cannot even utilize these clinics unless they are unemployed or have many children living off the system. We would save a ton of  taxpayer money If half these clinics and services were shut down.


Just like Greenspan and Bernanke,  Carney kept this low interest rate policy in Canada, for way too long. The debt got out of controll and savers were constantly panished. This did not change in Canada even when he left for England. All these folks are plain irresponsible fools not worth listennig to. Although IMHO it is likely too late to increase the rates now,  serious damage had been done.


You just had to hate it when the truth from Podesta was revealed!

 Her own words with the 1% about one public position, one private position.

The DNC backing her instead of Bernie during the Democratic Primary--at least that one got the head of the DNC fired.

Her getting advance information on debate questions.

David Brooks, OPB broadcast conclusion:  "Parity of sleaze" between her and Trump.

I disagree, of course; she is clearly sleazier; but she has been devoted to sleaze for over 30 years of political dealings both on her own behalf and on Bill's behalf, (particularly her attacks on his bimbos) so she should be better at it than him!


How is it “unamerican”?  The military police should do just that.  It is illegal and an act of sabotage to point laser at military craft.  Who would do such an act?


I didn;t say she did.  She does provide insight into BLM and others who think the way she does.  In the aggregate, they do have significant influence on many blacks.


active: "Your numerous personal attack comments are civil?"

Don't you know?


Their offensive personnel would struggle against Alabama.


Not saying it is a good strategy in either case; just pointing out the there is an equivalence. To me, and speaking only for myself, the GOP is the party proclaiming government doesn't work and then elect folks like Gardner and trump to prove it.


You wouldn't walk up to Mike Tyson and say, "Hi, former Champ". You would call him the Champ, because once a champ, always a champ. Being titled the champion is a legendary feat. That is even more true for the title off POTUS. There is no danger of Pres Obama enacting legislation because of this time honored tradition. Moreover, the current Pres is in the news or on Twitter every fifteen minutes. Sadly we all know who he is. And we all no Barry O is no longer the commander and chief, no matter how often we use the old title to refer to the legendary man who held the once legendary office. We're not in danger of the house of Obama taking over because of popular opinion. If that were possible, the buffoon currently in office would have already been overthrown and replaced. This gripe is petty and hardly worth utterance in the sort of backwood, uneducated circles where such an obvious tantrum-like complaint might receive cheers, let alone the national conversation. Get some focus.


The sheer numbers of gun deaths and injuries in the U.S. should be enough facts for everyone to logically agree there is a problem, but obviously, facts and logic mean nothing.


I guess there's nothing different between a newspaper in Hawaii and the President of America...#MAGA
