goaded.  motivated...driven to ...who "goaded"  the Directer of the FBI? ,the man who sits in the seat of J Edgar Hoover? a GOP who is about as supportive to trump and has as much faith in trump as in a hill of fire ants. they may detest hilary,  but she is a known evil as far as they are concerned.  with trump who runs rogue? there is no party affiliation to be gained as trump is unstable and unpredictable. simply, trump is an ignorant bully who can't be trusted. they see the GOP blown up along with trump when the house of cards falls. who motivated the FBI directer? maybe someone with the total lack of ethics and money to do such a thing as  bribe or blackmail..... to keep attention deflected from "other" happenings.  real news type things - not chewing on this email thing like a cow with a cud.


teachable skills?  Yes anyone can take and pass a course, however not everyone adopts these practices are capable of making these part of their style.  Some people live for metrics and the bottom line, at any cost.

That's a little better!


Hear, hear, Ms. Krueger!  My sentiments exactly, I don't remember any former President who caused so much uncertainty and fear for democracy.  Even Nixon had his good points.


I'll bet the smoking population of Canada is significantly higher than 15%. While I don't smoke and never have - almost everyone I do know who smokes gets them from an reserve or from someone else who gets them from a reserve. And those people aren't included in the stats. One guy I know gets a bag of 200 for $10, which I understand is about the price of a pack of 25 off the reserve.


Right, all because I don't  think that the country is going down the toilet, I can't participate, says a lot about you. Waaaaah.


Those must be some strong dykes...

Just because Jesus affirmed sexual prototypes in first-century marriage rituals in Matthew 19 does not necessarily mean that he simultaneously denied the existence of the continuum that is human sexuality. How else to explain hermaphrodites? After all, they existed during Jesus' time and the Son of God would most certainly have known about their existence.

As for Mark 10, Jesus was discussing divorce, including the fact that they who divorce commit the sin of adultery, a sin which Leviticus, every homophobe's favorite book of the Bible, says is deserving of the death penalty. Funny how you never hear about that part. Mind you, Jesus never said a single word about homosexuality, yet you cite as your "proof" of Jesus' homophobia his admonition against heterosexual divorce. I'm not sure my college logic instructor would give you a very good grade on that construct.


That is not what Comey said.  He was strictly referring to the DOJ - NOT Trump i.e. the Whitehouse.  Too bad, so sad.

That you believe the Deputy AG would somehow miss this "admission", yet your right wing bloggers picked, it up shows just how much you underestimate the people on the other side of this.


Off the top of my head, I can count 5 times that we have met friends or relatives that had lay-overs at DIA. We drove out there, paid for parking, and met them for dinner/drinks in the main concourse. Each time, we probably spent $100 to $150 in total. I would imagine that this is a fairly common scenario. That will be impossible under this new plan. So will meeting people unfamiliar with the airport as they emerge from the escalator. This could be a big deal for elderly parents or younger children flying alone.

Like you said, most people actually flying don't spend much time in the terminal. Ticket passengers don't spend much time there. They rush to wait in line at security, then go to their gate. The main terminal should be a more public space.

Obama, you mean.
He was Putin's poodle b****.


They're welcome to have their opinions of what the flag represent.  They can do what they want with it, too.  But, to me, I listen to what the person says and not some generalized opinion from someone else.

Kaepernick?  The guy's a fool, in my opinion.  He can kneel all he wants, but I won't respect his cause because I've seen nothing more than a personal beef and no sacrifice of his own life towards that cause.  I think I've read that he's starting to do positive things, but I'm unsure of that.  If I see it, my opinion will likely change.  A guy like Brandon Marshall is different, to me.

I, like some (many? most?), hitch my wagon based on hearing what the person standing up (or kneeling down) has to say, not some impression I make up about them.

Appearance matters only to the audience demographic.  One will be offended by Kaepernick, side with the President even though our own President worked his tail off NOT to serve in the military.  To me, that's disrespectful.


My thoughts:
If the Governor and Legislature gets an 'opening' to borrow funds from the PFD.....You can kiss the fund GOODBYE........  Once it is raided, they won't stop UNTIL IT IS ALL USED UP, AND GONE.........


I posted earlier that perhaps the Pope wan't to see if he was the opposite of Jesus.
The post got censored.


Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery...did God make us to enjoy adultery even though He issued a commandment against it?  Such fuzzy thinking.


Yeah, because Hillary respects the hell out of the women that have come forward saying that Bill Raped them, fondled them inappropriately, and "did not have sex with", right? Oh, not to mention dragging a 12 year old rape victim through the mud so that she could make a name for herself in the 1970s... Oh, wait!


One does not "respect" a heretic.


It is too bad Ricky Gervais is not hosting the show this year, and every year for that matter.  He was the entertainment quotient of the show last year.  I have not laughed that hard in a long time as actor, director, and producer, did not escape his acerbic humour.  He had a good run.


And warmer is better.


I think Yakabuski's actual point is defined by the following statement: "Mr. Obama was not born, experientially speaking, an African-American. He became one." Obama was raised by a white mother in a predominantly non-black (although still quite diverse) community. Does this mean he couldn't understand or represent the black experience, as some American blacks argued to be the case? Skin colour or apparent race isn't the sole determinant of identity. Perhaps all  multigenerational North Americans should take one of those DNA ancestry tests that are advertised on television.. Many of us are probably much more diverse than we might imagine. Genealogical research into my family's background has uncovered some surprising facts, including that we had a  great grandmother who was of Portuguese descent. Does diversity diminish and discredit identity, or enhance it? I think those who argue that purity is equivalent to legitimacy will in the long run be on the losing side of this argument.


I know, it is hard to figure out this mentality.

If CHRIST were here HE would might quote from Scripture in "for it is written".  HE might quote Genesis 3, Genesis 18, Numbers 30, Psalms 45, Proverbs 31, Ecclesiastes 7 or the many other related Scriptures.  Then HE might say something like "But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.  For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.  What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.".

Then HE might say there is nothing holding them back in their service, except their desire and humility to serve.  HE might say "deny yourself, take up your cross and follow me".  HE might say follow the words of my friends, not your friends and teach the children as stated in Titus 2, before expecting blessings.

The power-hungry money changers is a very good example also.

Yea kinda like 2016. That was brutal. Lol


I have read what you have written about Church history, and there are only two conclusions one can draw from that reading: (1) You are lying through your teeth; (2) you don't know what you are talking about. I chose the more charitable conclusion.


Always good to hear from our Americans neighbours. If you are so disgusted by what you see and hear, why bother visiting these pages? Or is it to show us the true shining light ways?  Like, why sells arms when you can embark on a drone campaign that will eliminate your enemies as well as those unfortunate civilian casualties, but hey, doodoo happens right?. Or maybe you are just another self anointed 'big fish' looking for a small pond to make waves in. But by all means buddy, post on, always entertaining to hear your thoughts on what we are doing wrong here in Canada.


Con men and embezzlers cannot rehab. They will always go back to their trade. Lock em up for life.

One poster here mentions about using the Mute Function.  The ones who use this function are the ones who can not ACCEPT the TRUTH.......They just want to RUN and HIDE...............


In light of Ms. Wente's excellent points, let's consider our three options for government at the federal level.  It's beyond obvious that both the Conservatives and the Liberals are bought and paid for by the 1%ers.  AFAIK, the NDP are not taking bags of cash from 1%ers, or rather the 1%ers aren't offering the NDP any bags of cash.  However, I still don't know if that means I'll vote NDP because I'm not sure the NDP has the wherewithal to put a stop to this even if elected with a majority.  To plug all the loopholes you'd need more than just political will.  You'd need an army of lawyers and accountants at least as devious as the ones who've been working for decades to hide away the fortunes of these modern day robber barons.  The 1%ers have had a big head-start.


The Globe gives posters sensitivity and civility guidelines each time we post. They should do the same for contributors each time they submit an article. I found this one to unsettling and insensitive

Of course, Canada should be more like say Norway..

There the government is inclusive, and takes everything into consideration, like the environment, gender balance exclusivity, the needs of the local population, etc.

Then it makes an adult decision that is good for the country as a whole, and sells the  oil leases, and moves full steam ahead with offshore drilling.

The entire Missour/Mississippi drainages are at risk from this black snake piercing the land and waters from North Dakota to New Orleans.  The oil is destined for foreign markets since the U.S. is awash with oil as reflected even in the manipulated pricing market.  The federal government and all state governments are responsible for allowing this threat to Middle American lives.  The permitting systems are so rigged for developers as to push aside any dissent; most of it occurring it out of sight of the public.  The Army Corps of Engineers has been complicit throughout the nation in its appeasement of every Oil Monopoly threat to land and water.  They have failed in their stewardship.  A national map of oil, liquid gas, natural gas pipelines reveals the extent to which the Oil Monopoly has hijacked massive areas.  Spills and explosions have occurred throughout the nation.  The emergency plans are paper only as revealed in the EXXON-VALDEZ, none of them will work.  All for Greed.


Agreed, AlbertD3. Lisa Raitt seems grounded, authentic and would be a good leader in the party's present capacity. People learn from mistakes. She has made a few high profile errors and seems to have moved on. She might work out a little like Rona Ambrose, only letting people a little closer.

who's his psychiatrist before he killed?  why isn't his psychiatrist and adult mental health division held accountable?  The State is a legal third party murderer just like the child welfare services.  HGEA and randy perriera should be investigated.


It looks like he gets treated well. 19 hour surgery, recovering well. Meanwhile my (Canadian) friend had to travel overseas to get his hip fixed - twice. I guess being just a plain go-to-work-pay-your-taxes Canadian is not as cool as being a jihadist murderer.


<"Leaving aside the whole debate about whether homosexual acts are intrinsically sinful in a way that heterosexual acts are not .... ">

Well, no, let's not leave this central issue to one side!

A person who dies unrepentant of willfully committed grave sin, with full knowledge and assent, is, according to Church teaching, facing God's judgement and eternal damnation. Their lives have been lived outside of God's grace and their eternity will be the same.

To offer a Catholic funeral Mass for a person known to be publicly embracing a gravely sinful homosexual lifestyle cannot but fail to give a false message to others that God, in His mercy and compassion, judges nobody and that homosexual sex acts are acceptable.


At lunch I went back and watched Siemian in the last game, particularly the last part of the first half, since that's where the bulk of the "wow" came from.  I saw some stuff that looked like improvement, but I also saw some stuff that looked like last year.  First two plays during Siemian's work were runs.

But, the next two plays were last year's Siemian.  First resulted in a first down, but if you look what Taylor was doing, he was wide open in that same area and it could've been huge.  I think on that play Siemian locked on Henderson (maybe).  First down, but opportunity lost.  Next play there was pressure, and Siemian ended up getting flushed and threw it away.  But, Henderson broke into the open in the center, and Siemian could've dumped to him, with a pretty open field.

Hoping the game slows down for him, cause it looks like with this team, the opportunities will still be there even on broken plays.
 Gonna be interesting, for sure.

The remaining question is whether JT has the humility to admit he's made a mistake and go back to the drawing board to do this right, or whether his hubris will drive him to reject all challenges.

Humility vs. hubris, for PM Selfie (or "egoportrait", as they say in French, which seems a highly appropriate term).   My bet is in hubris.


Stupid people should learn to wash thoroughly anything before they put it in their mouth, especially anything grown in a garden.  Maybe they are not stupid, but, ill-informed because their upbringing lacked proper education on basic hygiene.


why not? we got plenty money to give to Democrat cronies. probably come with 6 month warranty too.


You are forgetting the approximately $600 per child that the family receives, times four children is $2,400 tax free. Then a family of 6 receives FAR in excess of $710 per month, more like $2,000 per month. Add it up and the family receives approximately $4,400 per month, tax free, for being illegal aliens in Canada.  And they can't find "affordable" housing? My heart bleeds. I don't bring home nearly that much money per month after taxes and I work about 50 hours a week.

apologise - definitely
mandatory anti-racism training - probably (although I'm never clear as to how that is conducted, what its content, and, ultimately, how effective on a deep level); some might find it irksome, but that's not an argument against, just an invitation to parody all concerned (justifiably or not)

Jefferson Sessions needs the assistance of a competent lawyer to answer questions without further incriminating himself .

Trump's Attorney General is certainly not that competent lawyer.


Good call Failure. Trump was handed a colossal national death spiral- your argument is with the failed  aragount criminal candidate & her ability to underestimate the possibility of the monumental thrashing she deserved. I missspelled- feel free to share your flare for the obvious.


The Coq was paid off, so tolls were removed. Tolls that were paid for by those who used the road. Predominantly truckers. Port Mann and Golden Ears will now be paid for by everyone, even those who don't drive the bridges. Of course, there'll be road tolls once the Mayors have their say, and all those who voted against the bridge tolls, will now pay them another way.


Null, you are confusing homosexuality with pedophilia.


“I just posted the letter below. I wish that there would be more options for us to chose when we comment on other letters.”

What “letter below” does your comment refer to?   Why wouldn't you attach your comment to that letter?

The only “comment below”  I could find from you - referred to a guy who had been fired from his job for an inappropriate joke.  Totally irrelevant to the article.

Maybe “relevance and coherence” should be more options to choose.


Governments also hyper-inflate what they term a green job as well.

A green "job" could be something as insignificant as someone changing the toilet paper roll in a port-a-potty over the weekend at jobsite for those contracted to clean up all the dead birds killed at a windmill farm.

When somebody picks up a gun to fight for a cause, I do sometimes get worried. Yet I also realise that t took guns to stop some of the world's most psychotic dictators ad genocidal maniacs. What I admired bout Che was his ability to leave his comfort zone to join those who were trying to remove oppressive colonialist regimes. The sad thing was that he was as brutal in his methods as those he fought against....which made him no better.

"Hilariously, however, the very people who are right now cheering Candidate Trump's genius in not paying taxes are the very same people who seem to think a President Trump will somehow fix the tax code so rich people like Tycoon Trump and his rich buddies will have to pay taxes.

That's so ridiculously deluded I can't even come up with a mocking dismount without feeling like I'm picking on the mentally challenged."


Wow, if we are talking about “taking a short cut to the U.S. Senate,” I would think getting appointed by your father would be at the top of the list.

Real question:  Have you even read her bio?   She's lived in Alaska 30 years, and believe me:  There is a reason AFN didn't endorse Lisa Murkowski.

Pandas are cute and have nothing to do with a declining amount of visits to the Zoo. People are slowly waking up and see that Zoos are not to the benefit of animals and their rights. I have never taken or will take my kids to the zoo to tell them "this is how animals live". It is like going to a jail to see what people look like.


would you buy a plane from a manufacturer that is broke ?


Yeah. Horticulture and agriculture are both engaged in brilliant and fascinating science. It's getting better and more efficient all the time. Current methods are still beyond wasteful, though, and unless we can make crops act more like native plants (little to no extra water needed) I'm skeptical about the future of America's bread baskets.

I'm thinking the future of farming will likely be in tall buildings dedicated to the task, or using CRISPR to modify crops to grow in salt water. Either that or we need to pump about 1.5 times as much desalinated water as  the Colorado sends down every year, back up from the coast.


Any action in this regard would amount to censorship.  It won't happen.


If Sears had realized Amazon's potential back and the beginning and bought them out, this story would have been so different. Amazon saw the value in Sears' original sales model and went digital with it. Sears didn't and is paying the price.

The Rebel isn't news, it's a dolled up opinion page. Even on the rare occasions they send a reporter out it doesn't even try to be objective.

Case in point, Menzies' "generation Trudeau" pieces, what passes for investigative reporting - where he goes and asks ridiculous questions to young people then hacks together their incredulous replies in an unflattering ways.  It's not news, it's deliberately designed to incite trouble.


Bill Clinton also managed to become President in 1992 with a minority of American voters.  Nothing new here.

Well, of course...given that a majority voted them in.  it's not like they are directing withdrawals from your personal bank accounts, or managing your business, or engineering your new home, or making your payments for medical expenses, or being your aged parents' caretaker.  Your tax, business, and financial difficulties are due you.
 So, why wouldn't we love those that we voted for?  Unless we would admit individual stupidity, which most aren't inclined doing.


This is a very misleading and confusing article.  First of all, the kid can't "commit" in any kind of official capacity to play for UO.  He is a freshman in high school and nothing will be official until he signs a letter of intent his senior year.  Plenty of things could happen between now and then, including Taggart leaving UO.

If the kid is good, UO will be happy to have him.  If he's not, Taggart will either let him down gently or bring him on as a walk on.  Since he's moving to Eugene, we can all show up and watch him play in HS and since we are all SO knowledgeable about football, we can decide for ourselves.  Either way, it's a non story designed to gin up more controversy about a coach that admittedly has brought some controversy on himself.


At least there was a happy ending.


exactly blow'd up reel good


Other presidents lied to either save their skin or to push through a policy that would have been unpopular had they not lied. It was very calculated.

Trump lies unconsciously. Lies come out of his mouth without forethought. He says whatever he wants with no regard for any basis in reality or fact. Good luck with that America.

The Democratic Party had an excellent chance to modify our immigration laws in 2009 and 2010 when they had a filibuster-proof majority in the US Senate, a strong majority in the US House and President Obama in the White House. Their inaction on immigration back then makes it easy to believe they like the screwed-up system we have today.

I was referring to young people my age who were being counted upon to pull the wagon beyond their actuarial responsibility (or get fined). The ACA is the reason that more people have insurance they can rarely use due to the ridiculous deductibles and unnecessary coverage they are required to pay for. The ACA 'tax increases' have devastated much of the former middle class in order to pay for the insurance costs of others, many of whom are unhealthy and/or being treated for chronic conditions they brought about due to their own poor eating habits and lack of exercise.

thank god the dolts that live in the comment section are so smart!!


Kind of different to find a Mexican supporting Trump like you do.  What drives you to support Trump so ardently when he targets and has said such bad things about Mexicans?


And soil. Simply put Houston has paved too much of its land mass, such that the water is concentrated into the flood mitigation/drainage areas thus overwhelming them.

Better would be tearing up unnecessary roads and parking lots and replacing with trees, plants and porous surfaces. All those malls and vast outdoor parking lots should be designed to absorb water not concentrate it.

Also Houston has clay soil which doesn't help.....

Basically a once in a centenary(millenia?) natural disaster meets manmade hubris and overconsumption/building.


So,Watson is back this week..Hmm..sounds like Trevor will be running for his life again.Wish Elway had enough sense to improve the o line,Joe Staley is BEGGING to get out of SF,would be an instant upgrade.Couple that with finding a replacement for that bum Garcia,and we may have a chance.Oh well,guess we will never know,Broncos are going to be playing golf come the post season..


b:  Oh, excuse me, I forgot you are the all knowing.........nothing.


It wouldn't raise a whole lot.  It's more of a principle thing -- that it shouldn't be just owners/users of motor vehicles paying usage taxes that fund roads while the other users of roads (bicyclists) get away without paying any usage tax at all.


Take no notice of John Hobson's definition. Creationism can best be described as, the religious belief that the universe and life originated through the actions of  God.
There is no single type of Creationism as you will see if you Google it.


As far as future PFDs are concerned, Walker appointed Angela Rodell to manage the fund who actually lost 5% on the stock market when the market did really well.

Overall the fund gained 1% compared to the average of 6%.

The loss in expected earnings amounts to 2.5 Billion.  This will affect future PFDs.

This comes at a bad time when Walker wants to take 5% every year, he appoints someone that only earns 1% ?

Rodell needs to be fired, as well as Walker who is either incompetent or on drugs that have made him misremember his campaign promises and former common sense.

After his plan to use the Permenent Fund to buy and sell oil tax credits so that small oil companies can game the system and make it easier for large companies to pay no taxes....I lost all trust and respect for him.  He is not trying to fix the budget, he is just as awful as the legislature.


mustbekidding:  I'm going to "flag" this post of yours.  The cruelty of using the developmentally disabled to belittle liberals, IMO, has no place in a civil conversation.  Gary Crum


Bush cutting taxes to the rich and fighting 2 unfunded wars had nothing to do with that?  USA ran surpluses under Bill Clinton and was on pace to pay off the debt completely by 2012.  Then W. got elected.  You want to cry about the size of the debt at least point the finger of blame in the right direction. Obama ran up debt trying to breath life into an economy Bush and Greenspan completely destroyed by not regulating Wall Street and the housing market.


.....or award you a Nobel Prize.


Using vast wealth to fund movements that won elections?  The horror THE HORROR!  Let's overturn Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. Tell Mitt Romney that corporations aren't people. Put the Koch brothers and Sheldon Adelson in jail for election tampering. Light the torches sharpen the pitchforks.


Judgement day? Like the Terminator movie? It appears The Donald and Rocket Kim will send us into a nuclear-ravaged hell, so your shoes won't be any better than hers.


Re: "Trump blames ‘both Democrats and Republicans’ for allegations"

God forbid he accept ANY "blame" himself, huh?

Reporters report. It's his own words and actions that often get him into so much hot water - mainly because there's no thought behind so much of them.


Snowflakes honouring truly brave men.  What a joke.


No idea what you're talking about, not my experience.  My kids all got their university or college educations and all have lucrative careers (engineer, electrician, mining industry) as a result of some practical and strategic choices and hard work.  A couple even make more money in their late 20s than I ever have.  Based on my personal viewpoint, if you're willing to ignore the media and your peer-herd you can do quite well as a young Canadian if you're smart about it.


It does ? How's that sales tax working out for you ?  Anchorage is at it's best after 7 pm , when all the valley people have left and headed back home to Crimeville USA .


The only way to fix it is to completely get rid of obamacrap and get back to how it was in 2007!!  Stop all welfare now.


If  Ms. Kathryn Borel's statement is true re: CBC -- then the CBC &  CBC Culture of both Management & Staff wear this shame as well..

These incidents took place on CBC property in the CBC working establishment & on CBC payroll time therefore -- CBC should be heavily fined by their own boss, the Federal Gov't for not providing appropriate safe working conditions which would enable an employee, be they male or female, to approach Human Resources with the confidence of a 'protected' employee when sexually interfered with or assaulted.

Again, CBC wears this -- & has piously hidden behind their long pointing finger aimed at Ghomeshi's insanity.

Obviously, Ghomeshi is emotionally disturbed which  implies that this guy needed intervention well before he was finally stopped.

It is all very well to pick apart the wasting bones of this man to rip him apart in the public arena;  but this man is mentally ill but is not a Vincent Li - who is now a free man.

Canada's CBC carries this shame too.


Central banks never raise or lower rates more than 0.25% at a time.  Markets need to adjust.

However if you read the article, you'd know they're looking at another 0.25% increase in October, and more in 2018.

Interest rates are a long-game


Mo, he is not trying to "destroy baseball".  What an absurd thing to think.

"Lets best players leave with no return"

The Jays offered Edwin more than what he got in Cleveland, and they were awarded a compensatory pick in the first round for losing him.  With that pick, they chose SS Logan Warmoth, who hit the championship winning hit for Low-A Vancouver while hitting .306/.356/.419.

"team up for the future by trading current players and getting younger and more prospects"

I mean, come on.


Sometimes courts decide to judge minors as adults depending on the heinousness of the crime but in this case the Omar is getting the full benefit of being fifteen.  There has been no attempt to determine what his actual state of mind was when this happened.  Did anyone talk to his friends in Canada?  Was he resisting his participation or was he looking forward to it?  I would have preferred this go to trial.


Well, yes, young Canadians are going to pay, that's true.

But the Globe's diagnosis isn't a bit off.

The problem: taxes are at a 60 year low, but it is politically impossible to have an adult conversation about (a) the level of public sector goods and services we expect; and (b) the corresponding level of taxation.

We have choked spending so ferociously that the production of public sector goods and services - above all physical infrastructure - is crazily far below optimal.

We have artificially suppressed public sector demand to such an extent that now, $1 in public infrastructure expenditure on transit typically yields $12 in private sector economic benefit.  That ratio is almost certainly an all-time historic high.

But because it is politically impossible to raise $1 in tax, the private sector foregoes $12 in income.

Insane.

Taxes are way too low to pay for the public infrastructure appropriate for our economy.

It is choking growth.

Cutting the GST was wildly irresponsible.


Typical. You ask for something impossible then complain when the authorities try something. The point is there can never be anything for nothing and manipulating market forces ends in tears. The long and short of it is that when people who have  nothing want somethingg, some one else has to pay, so the question is who pays and who benefits.
Take the whining about "richer areas" and Sea Point. Isn't it obvious that if you are getting something for nothing or highly subsidized you are not in a position to demand what other people are paying through the nose for.
The aregunent about living where you work makes no sense. Imagine every waiter working in a Mayfair restaurant demanding account ideation in the most exoensive area of London. Same applies to New York, where working people live in corridors and haven't got time to demand football pitches.
The difficulties the authorities have in finding solutions arise from the expectations and entitlements encouraged by activists and NGIs.


Trudeau would love this


While I don't think "we are competing with the Chinese, or something", the results of the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) studies since 1995 have consistently shown that in 4th and 8th grades, in both math and science, the policies, training, and curricula employed by Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, and the PRC, out performed all others. Whether one believes algebra (in middle school and high school) is generally useful, or not, whether one believes that an adequate introduction to schools mathematics literacy can be easily obtained by an on-line provider, or not, we can either learn from their efforts, or choose to ignore them -- either way, the next TIMSS data set is highly likely to again, for the third decade in a row, place Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, and the PRC well above Oregon's scores in math and science, measured at grades 4 and 8.


Chill out ThirdRock, your middle aged bias against intelligent young females is showing...


Whatever Neil lol.  I'm not anti gun control but to think you can abolish them from everyone, including criminals, is a fairy tale. There's no reason for law abiding citizens not to have them.  When you figure out how to make criminals follow all the rules, let me know.   Have a great Labor Day.


This clown has absolutely no idea what he's talking about, Ram U - he cites incorrectly, makes up ideas about revenue and it's sources. Don't bother anymore, you'll never persuade some goof with his head in the sand.


ditto for my vote - We need a "sad but true" emoji.


After reading the 35-page "intelligence report" it's difficult to figure out if it is genuine or a work of fiction. References to Mr. Trump's alleged sexual misconduct is tangential at best without any details. As long as the participants in the supposed sexual escapes are adults there's very little story here. Everyone knows Trump is a pig when it comes to women so nothing should shock the uninitiated.


Yes Akmk!  There are womyn and allies here who will vote for Hillary's vagina!


China will have to retaliate and US multinati will be first to suffer....


You should get ten years in prison just for supporting Drumpf.


And that's why the U of O needs such camps.

In spite of their best efforts, some of the people over there insist on thinking their own thoughts which do not meet the current liberal understanding of the way things are supposed to be.

Such errors in thinking MUST be attacked viciously and continuously!

0% chance I'd marry in Canada.

Thank the family law system.  Too risky losing half my wealth.

Almost every man I talk to who is 50+ all have the same story.
They had two kids, a great job/business, wife gets bored and has an affair, divorce court happens, they now lose 50% of their assets and get stuck with crippling child support payments of $4000/month.

Pass.


Shame on you.
Three people died.
Trump did not mention it in either statement.


1)Number bouncing around Twitter is 803,000 so that would indicate a still substantial drop. But I would take it with a grain of salt because I haven’t seen it reported from a reliable source yet.

2) They have tried it with the Grey Cup. It's marketed all November. Ratings do not come close to the Super Bowl.


Can you provide proof that they're Christian?  Actually many contemporary white supremacists subscribe to Odinsim.


Yes!  We've certainly seen it on this site, that many conservative Catholics consider Trump to be their "pope".


and lazy, entitled Americans won't do it.


Heh - I know!

Those leftist, nincompoop, tax-hiking, government-expanding, latte-drinking, sushi-eating, Volvo-driving, Walrus-reading, body-piercing, Hollywood-loving, left-wing freaks will NEVER be as good at identity politics as the right.

Got to love the wholey ignorant group that makes up the anti oil and gas crowds and comments.   They don’t know state law and don’t care to learn it.   They want to ban a product they are 100% dependent on and keep the price low on it at the same time.   And of course they show up in their gas guzzling vehicles from their heated homes to protest at a group of elected officials that has no say on the topic they theoretically at least want addressed.   It’s like protesting your trash bill by calling the electric company.


Let's proceed knowledeably and (religiously?) sensitively in a way that secures biology in context with man-caused ecological stressors. It is the intelligent and morally the conscionable thing to do to be informed in cause-and-effect factors as to environmental/ ecological stressors that threaten life on earth - what science and religion together compel in conscience.


Religion is the problem.


Welcome to Alaska ~ Nice People Out There in Cold Bay ~ Glad Plane Landed Safely ~ !


I suspect that this election has much in common with the one that followed WW1. Wilson wanted to change the US into a world power by signing on to an international organization, the League of Nations. He lost the election and the US had to wait another25 years before the chance came again. In the present election, one candidate is offering the US and opportunity to lead the world on a number of world changing issues. The other is offering an ultra-conservative America that rejects internationalism and retreats behind a wall in splendid isolation. Let's hope we don't have to wait another 20 years before a majority of Americans recognize that they need the rest of the world just as much the rest of the world needs them.


We already have street level mass transit. Its called the bus. And dedicated bus lanes wont work either. The last time we tried bus rapid transit the city council veto the whole plan because drivers were outraged at the loss of a lane of traffic. Ground level rail will not work.

Besides the public has already balloted on this issue. It has voted for elevated steel on steel light rail.


I think the articles expose a great deal of information regarding your company and your plans.  The dot.com reference was yours, not mine.  You use the term "anger", I would use "disgust."  One of the elements of the "American Dream" is the willingness to compete in the marketplace.  Your business plan involves the creation of a monopoly for your company...the antithesis of competing in the marketplace.  You suggest I would be "impressed" with your staff...attorneys, judges, real estate leaders and accountants... Actually, I was markedly unimpressed with the key roles of a man guilty of a "road rage" incident killing as a "security consultant" and a several times convicted illegal drug-peddler as head of sales...Surely the irony of those two individuals' jobs doesn't escape you.

To ascribe "anger" as the motivation of a person's opposition to your plan is to attempt to trivialize that opposition.  As I say, I'm not "angry".....I'm disgusted. I trust the voters will be too. Gary Crum


Trump is Bozo driving the clown car. Actually, he might be a passenger, but a clown nonetheless. I digress. BTW, Frum's autocracy piece isn't original. The people at Truthdig (e.g. Chris Hedges) have been writing about this stuff for quite some time, yet Frum gets the press. Check out Truthdig, Wente to get the real lowdown on the US politics.


Alberta's lack of economic diversity doesn't appear to be building confidence.


Accepted him ?  What about the last girl who didn't make the track team and had to stay home and was denied participating  because that spot went to a boy ?  What about the girl who finished fourth ?  She was there to race against other girls , not a boy.  This isn't an issue over life choices , but an issue over fairness in sports.   In today's sports we go out of our way to make sure athlete's don't use performance drugs giving them an unfair advantage over those they are competing against . A boy running against a girl is the greatest advantage possible.   And we are willing to lower our standards of fair play to accept that ?   That's not hope for the future , it's the opposite .


Trump is panicking because Jared and Ivanka were supposed to clean up this mess.  Time for some new Russian advisors.


At least!  And anecdotal evidence from the involvement of the former apostolic nuncio to the USA (Carlo Maria Vigano) in the (resolution of) the abuse scandals in the Minnesota archdiocese by way of ordering the destruction of relevant evidence strongly suggests that the percentage of cover-uppers is actually 100%, globally.


I work in the private sector and I've travelled to a lot of countries and have been to a lot of conferences and events paid for by my employer.  So, then, what's your point? That academia does what business does? The reason we go to these is for information exchange and making connections that can help grow our efforts and results. Only fools operate in an information vacuum in this day and age.


So a verbal threat is a reason to shoot someone?

Or Charlie Sheen saying he wants Trump dead?

Or Larry Wilmore saying he want to suffocate Trump?

Satire like that?


Don't trivialize an important issue with citations that support your opinion. Do you have proof that the topic is fallacious or overstated or insignificant? I am applauded, but not surprised that you would misdirect my informative article on my journey concerning this topic.  'Am I my brother's keeper' is not concerned about minimization or academic handling of troubling issues, but hearing cries of hurting people and personally responding. Go look in the mirror and get busy helping over writing rhetoric of passing by on the other side  (Luke 10).


Great letters to the editor today fellow travelers.  Thank you Rudy Wittshirk.  Thank you Thomas Crowley.  Thank you Frank Keim.  Thank you Keith Muschinske.


Au contraire.  Burke and Pell are the ones who are being unfair, still, and urgently need to check back in with reality.  The Catholic church is long past the Thirteenth Century, as well as the 1950s.  They have chosen to remain men of mediaeval privilege instead of preachers and teachers of the Word, in union with Jesus and Pope Francis, whose Vicar he is.  If they truly feel that the Catholic church is a "ship without a rudder," as Burke has publicly stated, and propose to CORRECT Francis' Amoris Laetitia, they shoulf resign, immediately.  Such an act would not be unprecedented, even in the twentieth century of the Christian era.


Idiots on both sides and the rest of us are at risk.


Careful Roy, Sue sounds like she may have a 5th-degree black-belt in snappy come-backs.


It's hard to pin down Trump. He is a chameleon who says whatever is necessary to win whether it's in  poor taste or not.  He used to be a Democrat.


Sure about that? My economics textbook said the opppsite almost twenty years ago when taxes were a fraction of what they are now. An article in this newspaper within the last couple years outlined how tobacco taxes were paying for infrastructure in I believe it was Saskatchewan. 9.50 a pack at the reserve! How many obese or promiscuous or other various risk takers pay extra taxes to compensate for their sins?


Excellent retort Mr. Sines!

Mechanical failure was ruled out, said it in the article.  The fact of this situation is that she hopped the curb and ran over a pedestrian. I hope she thinks about that every second of her life.


Mr. Smith, fish know no borders. Like many fishermen who fish from San Diego to Nome. Even salmon are non-residents of the State of Alaska. They swim upriver, spawn, and then again leave. It's worked the same for thousands of years. And yes, fish sold today by these fleets, are currently being sold for the lowest inflation adjusted prices, ever before seen. That's what happens when the State could care less about the ex-vessel price. Sam Cotten offered to sell Bristol Bay Sockeye, in a rigged state bid system, for 15 cents a pound in 2016. Brilliance, from a Sharecropper. Yes, the bulk of the oil industry, is also based in Texas, with a comparatively low value high production expense product, and also has never been anything to base a who State economy on. Did you not read Jay Hammonds Diapering the Devil, as adjusted to the economy of Venezuela, that Alaska almost matches with perfection. His writing begins,"It all started with fish." The bulk of reality is, NONE, A.R.R. approved.


It's evident that the NPVIC has bipartisan opposition because it's a bad and unnecessary idea. If paula thinks Burdick and Courtney should face challenges in the primaries, she should write papers in Portland and Salem, because people there aren't going to see this letter. Rather than finding a Democrat challenger, people in those districts should just vote Republican.


The Anchorage weekend off to an early start.


The GOP owns the house, senate the and the president.  Including the DOJ.  If she broke the law, there is absolutely NO REASON They cannot prosecute her.

The only reasons she hasn't already been indicated if because either:
a) they know there's no case
b) they are purposely letting her off

Take your pick, but you can no longer blame Obama, Comey or anyone else.  It's all on the GOP now.

I had, and still have, scoliosis, a spinal deviation. That was noted by a doctor at the induction center in Chicago, but it wasn't cause for rejecting me. However, depending on how well one's parents greased the skids on the local draft boards, a kid with good connections could get a 1Y classification. Even assuming Trump had a bone spur, it was his connections that got him declared unfit for service. Meanwhile, every kid off the street with an IQ over 70 got sucked in as cannon fodder. Inner-city black kids were inducted in huge drafts that had the effect of ending urban riots.

Trump got out because he was privileged. Clinton, a Fulbright scholar to Oxford College in England, got out because of talent and a 1S. Trump had no such talent, he was a privileged rich kid whose father had local connections.

I have a lot of friends, most of whom didn't serve. I have no resentment. What's done is past. What I want now from our president is competent leadership. That is what's lacking.

Mr. Bellegarde, Canada would like nothing more than to see the indigenous communities thrive and see themselves as a part of this country. However, the convoluted patchwork of an un-unified confederacy has often been extremely obstructionist in allowing this nation to prosper and ergo, provided the needed assistance.
You cannot start every single negotiation with a stand off posture and the guilt card played straight off the top of the deck. It won't work with voting constituents nor the MP's they represent. And when you invited Hugo Chavez up here to pressure our government it made many furious.

Ironically, Roy Anthony's post (above) validates the truth of his pseudonym.  What he chooses to overlook is that the bears evolved here.  The cats didn't.  The bears are native wild animals.  The cats are highly destructive, invasive domesticated animals placed here by human agency.  Another bit of wisdom from Mr. Heinlein:

"It's long been known that one horse is faster than another.  But which one?  Differences are crucial."

Dear Congressman,

I agreed with Dennis Galon on his post, but I also agree with this one as well. It's a tough issue.

You are using words the meaning of which you don't understand, statutorily or under the common law.  Larson, properly under either, attempted to do his duty as a citizen by merely following Tallman to assist in his arrest and was assaulted multiple times without striking back. Only after the third incident did he present a weapon in an attempt to -deter- another assault. Tallman then deliberately chose to attempt to assault an armed, older man rather than using his youth and greater physical ability to flee and was justifiably shot. There's nothing "vigilante" in that fact set.


I don't (generally) have a problem with someone who's using two sets of equipment at once - but that's assuming that they're supersetting or whatever.  If they're really working out it won't take them all that long to finish.  It's the guys that do an incredibly light set on one machine.  Sit around for five minutes.  Do a light set on the other machine.  And repeat that are the problem.


sarcasm right?


Well, they are saying the same thing about jobs going to Mexico, but you're correct, thinking of Caterpillar moving the train jobs to Indiana was it?  Oh, and $34/hr reduced to $18/hr doo de doo pure coincidence... but US companies turn around and do the same thing paying Mexicans lower by an even greater margin.  I find Trump's pronouncements on this entirely disingenuous when you consider his own businesses and where they are, but it's certainly good rabble-rousing rhetoric.  And not like the Clintons weren't familiar with similar hypocrisy.  The problem for East Canada is that resource extraction and exports is better for West Canada, we being less dependent on manufacturing jobs.  Kinda ironic when you consider the whole Canadian Milch Cow ideology this country is built on.

It has been my experience that most Americans don't want to know history in general and American history in particular. The truth doesn't make them feel good. Most don't want to know their heritage of violence and cruelty they benefit from. On the positive side, younger Americans tend to have more compassion and empathy for folks different from themselves than their elders.


The GOP should make their health care to be a single payer system and to provide low cost or free health care benefits equivalent to what the US Senators and US House members enjoy. And, please don't include tax breaks for the rich.


Common Sense, thank you...that's exactly my point.  I strongly believe the public should be aware of this aspect of the discussion which never, ever gets brought up in these kinds of articles.  And which people like STO clearly want to silence.


Construction in Hawaii, can only go so far, before there is no more land to build on.

At that point in time, all construction will go vertical.

We currently have highrise buildings because of variances.

After that, we will have skyscraper buildings.

Will there really be affordable housing?


Joey, you do not understand my argument.  Insurance companies do insure healthy people with the promise of protecting them financially and medically if they become sick.  They are betting that you will not become sick.  You are covering your health and finances in the event that you do.  Insurance companies have countless mathematical tables detailing risk for people with life style habits, pre-existing medical conditions, weight, age, marital status and everything else they think will effect the policy they sell.  They will price the policy (or not) according to that information. Young jogging females are a better risk than fat old men who smoke.  Life insurance and auto insurance work in similar ways.   Obamacare turned this upside-down.
The government has no pool for pre-existing conditions.  Medicare is an insurance policy paid by workers until retirement who are then forced into a government health care system.
I think there should be separate government subsidies.

Glad to see an arrest. But let me get this straight. After a year producing nothing, someone outside the department provided info to detectives leading to the arrest. "Up until Saturday...the suspect was unknown." Glad the detectives were there to answer the phone. I'm happy as well that justice seems to e coming for these two deaths. I only hope that this same "patience" in policing will be shared with KPD patrol officers for them to likewise use their "training" and intelligence to give sufficient time for things to work out appropriately instead of escalating common street crime to a quick conclusion using gun violence to enforce laws, resulting in preventable deaths.


The author is dreaming. There has been plenty of provocation over the last 60 years to put an end to the Norks. The USA could have defeated China in 1953, but instead we turned wimp all of a sudden. China! A bunch of savages with guns that couldn't shoot straight!  The UN could have completely isolated Nork but, no, we all sold our souls to the oodles of cheap Chinese slave labor, to which we are still hopelessly addicted today. And the Chi-coms absolutely forbid messing with Nork. Hell, we are even too afraid of China to recognize Taiwan as its own nation!

So, no, there will be zero attacks on Nork unless the Chi-coms allow it, and I can see no good reason, yet, why they would. Trump could probably figure out an incentive, but then we trade fear of Nork to increased fear of China. This is why no deal has ever been struck.

We ought to say screw it and call China's bluff; but our leaders are even bigger weanies today than they were in 1953.


All smoke and mirrors. I think they realize that it's much more profitable to build million dollar condos for non residents. Beautiful ocean front or ocean view properties will rake in millions with no regard on how it will affect the island or it's economy.


Trump does not have a conservative alternative to the Affordable Care Act; the Affordable Care Act itself is the conservative alternative to a single payer plan that would insure everyone (Medicare for all.)  What came to be known as the Affordable Care Act, or colloquially, Obamacare, was percolating at least since the early 1970s when President Nixon proposed, and Sen. Edward Kennedy opposed, a plan that was very much like the ACA.  Trump and his allies in Congress will likely be able to repeal large parts of the ACA -- but obviously they have nothing with which to replace it; they never did. The result will be that millions of people will have no health insurance.  As a result, the rate and number of abortions will increase -- no matter who Trump appoints to the bench or what legislation is passed or what executive actions Trump takes or rescinds.  The 'pro-life' folks bought a pig in a poke.


The garbage truck operators are like "the Bus" drivers, they are on a strict schedule for pick ups on their route; as for the number of accidents occurring, it could be a lot worse, than it looks like on paper.  Unfortunately it does not look like either City hall or the City council are going to do much to change the inherent problems in the system, as they are not being held personally liable for those accident payouts, it's all passed on down to the tax payers! City and State governments are not inherently designed to operate efficiently.


So you do oppose everyone other than professional politicians in political offices.   I suppose you oppose teachers on school boards too right?   Lawyers in office.   Judges that were lawyers etc???


Hello Idon,

Your first claim was a drop of about 10 percent, your second claim is a drop of about 20 percent - what is your next claim going to be, a drop of 40 percent?

And on what planet is there a Vancouver where the average house price is $878,000?!?

It certainly is not planet Earth, where Vancouver houses sell for about twice that.

You have decided, for some unknown reason, to focus in on prices during the month of January in multiple years (a curious choice, given that volumes sold slow to a trickle with bad winter weather), but okay, fine, January it is. Detached house prices in Vancouver in January of 2017 were at 1.47 million, and in January 2016 were at 1.27 million (website below, with graph). Um, some price drop, dude!

Look at BOTH graphs, SAME thing: The drop is ONLY over six months, and we are only about 8 months post peak - so you CANNOT know the year-year change!

In his 1970 State of the Union Address, Nixon proclaimed the new decade a period of environmental transformation.

Shortly thereafter he presented Congress an unprecedented 37-point message on the environment.

Whats wrong with the disheveled meth addict look?


Great only 9000 more to go.


There used to be strict lighting equipment and usage standards that all cars and drivers had to follow.  The first (and for a long time, only) crack in the dam was the new rectangular headlight bulbs in the early '70s.  But other than the newly allowed shape, the rules didn't change.

Now with the advent of LED vehicle lighting, the design is whatevah can.  Make your lights look like evil shark eyes (or teeth).  A spectrum as blue as you can get away with.  Improperly aimed and focused (as the study demonstrates) for actual safe driving; way too bright at least half the time, set at a bad height -- for the sake of design, not safety.

Why?  Because regulators are letting 'em get away with it. Gotta fix that.

Used to be that cars could have four headlights, but the extra two were separate high-beams and were illegal to use when following other cars closely.  Suddenly the extra two are down low like foglights, big and bright as headlights and all four are always on.  Wassupwidat!


Scaramucci take things easy bro,you just entered trumpzone,soon you will be out of trumpworld.dont for the emails you wrote bushing Trump,it's just a matter of time before he fires you


Will this be filed under the section of Hawaii State Statutes heading of "We've decided you're too stupid...."


How about the panty-waist Governor ordering that all Muslims living in the State of Alaska report to JABER for immediate relocation back to the Mid Eastern country of their choice ?


Hundreds of Nazi scientists were brought to work in the United States under "Operation Paperclip" after WW2. Apparently the U.S. only has a problem with Nazis when it suits them.


if BIKI stations takes away parking spaces, program will not succeed there, I would not be surprised to hear about BIKI vandalism. the City takes away one full lane for bikers, now he's doing away with parking stalls to fit the BIKI bikes. Thomas Square, Ala Moana Beach Park, now this! Maybe a good way to keep his mind off Rail!


So Majority of charges laid in Canada’s largest marijuana dispensary raid will not go to trial, a horrible use of very scarce court judicial resources.
Arrested in TO these days means wasting time in GTA jails like Milton & possibly tying up courts out there as well.
Meaning friends have to drive out there to see them as no TCC Subway & some visiting the SuperJails take a new route home giving them new territory to tell their associates about the vast opportunity of B & E that they haven't thought of before driving up local police costs.
Sadly a fellow we've been following was told by the AG's office that a Will for his Mother didn't exist in Milton records but a former JAG lawyer now Judge ignored that information this year when he didn't allow the fellow to cross examin the Estate lawyer who is either acting swarmy for himself &/or the Executor brother & his Wife who works in the Law Industry in Nova Scotia as they present a Will saying it was the Mothers?

Wow, that's quite a bit of bigoted, prejudiced, racist sentiment against your fellow Canadians right there. Besides, there are plenty of people with concerns about immigration who live in cities.

Like every other developed country, the Canadian economy has changed drastically from a largely agricultural one, to an urban service economy, and some places have been left behind. Are you a Conservative then, ready to blame everyone who doesn't have the "entrepreneurial spirt", the "get-up-and-go to raise yourself by your own bootstraps, etc., or just when the people are white and rural?

Immigrants historically came here to work the land, they worked on farms, and there was no safety net. Today they all cluster in the same three cities which are already doing well, not going to the hinterland, and they get the full safety net as Canadians almost right off the bat, and those services are better in cities. Attributing the success of large cities to immigrants is simplistic.


This administration appointees (commissioners and directors) are there to protect the mayor.  Ethics has nothing to do with their actions.

Unfortunately the actions of the commission to put Mr. Totto on leave, staff shortages and budgetary cuts by the Corporation Counsel have undermined the position Mr. Totto holds.

Mr. Totto's responsibility was to question and use the resources of his office to investigate wrongdoing, even if it is the mayor's cronies.  These cronies include development, construction and unions...all related to rail.  The plantation mentality and decision making based on friendships and political alliances are what local government is about...

Sadly...I doubt that Mr. Totto will continue on.


Nigeria should be the pariah of all nations. Yet JT continues to support Nigeria's economy by importing their oil, rather than utilizing oil produced in Canada. Does our PM have any morals or values? Apparently not.


I think the point is that it's NOT "genetically wired", but societally constructed and imposed.

With great regret, I stopped shopping for the grandkids at the one good local kid's toy store in our small town when they (the kids) were very, very young: entering the store introduced customers to two aisles. One was all knowledge- and action-based stuff, in all kinds of colours, and the other was.....pink. With home- and child-minding stuff.

It's 44 years since I joined the women's movement, and honest to heaven............


Wish you had more compassion. You seem to have only hate towards people who have a different opinion. May peace be with you.


The Luddites were fighting the industrial revolution,.  This is the information revolution.

“In the 1980s, eight per cent of new jobs created in the developed economies were in entirely new occupations, from call centres to computer programmers. In the 1990s, only 4.4 per cent of the new jobs involved newly invented occupations. In the 2000s, only half a percent did." And "about half the remaining traditional full-time jobs in advanced economies will be eliminated by automation in the next 10 to 20 years." -  Gwynne Dyer


RE UH and Autonomy.  In a mild way, the Leg backed away from trying to run the UH, in violation of the State Constitution.  The absurd and micromanaging budget provisos of last year, transferring the College of Ed to West Oahu, etc. were explicitly rescinded.  The Leg declined to over ride the Regents with a tuition freeze.  The Promise tuition offset program for lower income students was put into the budget without the leg trying to second guess student behavior and needs in a pilot program.   New chairs appear to appreciate and respect the UH a little more.


He should be impeached for being a “do-nothing” liar.


Good to have some with the cajones to expose the kabuki theater that is our legislature.


Actually I've witnessed government workers who worked as hard as any I've seen in the private sector. Yes, they're not in the majority, but it happens. The majority work at a slow but reasonable pace. The problem is that I've also seen government workers doing absolutely nothing. I'm not saying very little, I'm saying absolutely nothing and they're allowed to keep their jobs. When most government workers first start their jobs they are met with co-workers who advise them to work at a slow pace or be ostracized. Some do some don't.


Where in the original treaties does it say anything about funding health care?


I he had asked for a case of scotch instead of a peek at her privates would that be harrassment?


"Public service journalism" is a huge misnomer -- a euphemism.  This is simply a new way to get the general public to help pay for leftwing propaganda.  People like Pierre Omidyar and Civil Beat are going to inundate us with their opinions hoping to persuade us.  They will do that as a hobby, which they have every right to do.  But now they reincorporate as a tax exempt charity, meaning that they and their "donors" can write off from their taxes every penny they spend to spew their propaganda.  Taxpayers must make up the difference to pay for the welfare state which Omidyar et. al. are pushing us to approve of.

The tycoons of do-gooder big government think they know what's good for us, and they want to make us agree with them, and now they make us pay taxes which they no longer must pay so that we can have the privilege of being bombarded with their propaganda.  Now these tycoons all over America are getting together to cut costs and share their propaganda.  How wonderful is that!


Of course, it was an anti-Trump march, given his bigoted remarks and his threats to civil rights! The one in Ohau wasn't the only one. It was held worldwide. The Republican Party should take care that it does not become the equivalence of the Nazi Party, given the support Trump has gotten from the far right groups such as the KKK.


If you have the strength and stamina to ride a bike, you should be able to lift it up into the train car.


The RCMP doesn't charge the briber and the result was two criminals walked.  The prosecution couldn't charge Duffy with accepting a bribe because they didn't charge the person bribing him.  If the RCMP had charged Wright, they could have charged Duffy.


If the Canadian $ goes to 85 cents, there will be advantages and disadvantages.  The biggest disadvantage will be Canadians who live near the border will go on a spending spree in the USA. Canadians who make $10 000 to $20 000 more than people in the USA for doing the same job, ie teachers, firemen, policemen and public servants will cross the border to buy America goods and services.  I know - I have friends and relatives who do this when the Canadian $ is high.  Am I a moron?


That's ridiculous.


Yeah. A couple of people (Australian) I've talked to who have been there for business say that they make it pretty clear what you may and may not do. A wise person takes them at their word and does as told.


not surprised that more women than men voted on this one.
The games that Trump/GOP are trying to pull on women is horrendous.


If you need a "link" your already not paying attention to the reports. Stop drinking the kool aid Sue


Yeah, a 'crazy person' who just happens to hate Muslims.

That's known as the craziness of xenophobia and it's whipped up by Trump's call for violence against others.

Your attempt to make excuses failed.


You mean 44 years of prosperity. Retirement in the bank at 51, two kids through university and now working professionals with their own homes, healthy grandchildren, supporting elderly MIL and we used to donate rather generously to a few chosen charities but since the NDP (I am now unemployed...business is not really interested in growing right now?) we have rolled that back to under $500/year.

But please do not worry for us here in the west. 2019 is coming and I hope we will remember our eastern "friends". I know I will....


Yeah, I notice we never hear about Karluk Manor, no glowing articles about how successful it's been, etc. etc. Now, why is that, I wonder?


Why don't you tell us all about Obama's cabinet picks and compare and contrast them with Trump's ? I mean, you know so much, enlighten us.


Saw the Sandhill Cranes fly over Anchor Point today


So high GDP growth rates and low interest rates hurt the middle class?  Please, enlighten us with your incredible intelligence and show us how those things hurt the middle class.  Stupid liberal.


it's the Liberal Media. Printing articles from untold sources
Sometimes they get it right. Not saying TheSA got this right or wrong, idk


Obama does have a less developed sense of right and wrong than a child molester does. So I wouldn't put it past him, but not until after the election when he is a lame-duck. At that point he has nothing to loose and the voters can't take it out on the democrat nominee


another B.S. scare story by this rag.


If the earth was flat, my cat would have knocked everything off.


Rivers Need Water! What will EWEB do to offset or mitigate the environmental impact of removing this water from the Wilamette? Fish mortality and water temperature and turbidity is already a problem, and removing 1% of the flowrate, although small, could have consequences that have not yet been realized. I hope the Macauley family trust holds on to the land and challenges eminent domain with environmental logic.


I'm a lawyer. The Criminal Code makes a very clear distinction between uttering threats and actually committing violence. I'll go with the law, thank you.


the Ontario liberals are ONLY true to corrupt power at any costs! as for social progress if anything they are social regressive with the alt left now gay agenda wynnie is shoving.

Um, it's one of several dozen stories in the news. I know this is hard to believe, but news organizations can actually cover more than one event at a time.


And that is exactly the point, he was, by definition, not a child soldier and not a solider at all. He therefore was entitled to none of the protections that the mandated for Prisoners of War.


You nailed it. It's really Trump.......


And then using more cliches.


Thry were suppose to lay off 15,000 but stopped at 14,00 hence the bonuses.   What a freaking joke.    Trudeau is a puppet.


There were 3 kids total, only 2 were hers. The older boy was not hers


Left or right back pocket?


Apparently you are ignorant of the fact that during World War 2 you 'intered' thousands of Japanese Americans.

What exactly makes you think that the US is the shining light on the hill? Because it isn't and never has been.


Are you saying that a rock through the window means selling Kesey square is the right thing to do?


Good riddance.


Whoa! Someone's been reading Breitbart and confusing it with a news source!


Then lets start deregulation with the big dog, Defense dept.

You do realize regulations serve a purpose? FAA is the poster child for regulations, rules and regs are there for everyones' safety. Otherwise we would be flying blind. Literally.


That is precisely what is annoying people....the singling out of Islam, above all other religions,  for protection.  What that swipe at the Rebel was,  I don't know,  I guess they don't agree with you,  and consequently are bigots!


It is time for the working tax payers to put these obstructionists on a rail out of the country.


If you're trying to make a case for Hillary going after those women, you've got a steep hill to climb. It simply doesn't exist, save in the quaint notions of Trump supporters. Trump in fact, ironically, said in 1998. in an interview with Chris Matthews on August 28, 1998, “Paula Jones is a loser, but the fact is that she may be responsible for bringing down a president indirectly.”

She accepted $850,000 to go away, after her case had been dismissed by a lower court and she appealed it, with the assistance of the Mellon-Scaife financed Arkansas Project.

Women who complained about the Clintons were paid $2,500 by the campaign, Roger Stone and Breitbart to appear at the Trump rally. In one of the cases, that of Kathy Shelton, Hillary unsuccessfully tried to refuse the appointment to represent the man whom she had accused of rape, despite Shelton's unreliability as a witness and the lack of physical evidence in the case.


In the eight years President Obama was in office we did not enter into a new war.  I guess if your definition of groveling is diplomacy and measured response I will take it. Trump's gut level rhetoric is not well thought out nor does it demonstrate a strength of character. It illustrates an impetuous bully who resorts to threats instead of intelligent discourse.


Globe your system is a failure
the liberal war room is busy flagging comments repost
Vaughn like his old bud Glen Murray used their size and aggressive behaviour to intimidate smaller people, notably women. I'm sure he wouldn't have tried that with Shelly Glover
and
Vaughn like Murray only went after those physically smaller than them to intimidate. You will note that neither tried that bully tactic with Rob or Doug Ford, why do you suppose that was?

So Macron was elected a month ago.  He has done nothing but declare himself a god.  No really he did that.   And has saved the French economy, and culture from all of the problems that they were facing.   He might just be the pagan god Jupiter.


Nice!
Just remember that now days people pee pee in the pool, they think that is ok, sick people. On average, a pool holds 6 gallons pee pee, have fun!


If it wasn't for ignorance we wouldn't have representative government. See: Congress; Juneau; the voter.


No it is fact.


Canada is a large cool/cold country and like many Canadians we need to heat our home for at least 7 months per year.   Like many Canadians we live in a rural area with no public transportation and we must use our automobile to get to work and shop.   I suspect for Canadians with access to public transportation that the cost of the carbon tax will be passed on and added to the fares.  Electricity costs in Ontario have become punitive and now the cost of carbon taxes will be added not only to heating and transportation costs but to any item that requires manufacturing and/or transportation including food, clothing etc.    If bankrupting Canadians will reduce carbon emissions then governments are well on their way to achieving their goals.


Lock her up right, wing nut Michael, enjoy.


I'm told this has nothing to do with the price of oil but is simply a problem of oil taxes and subsidies.


We need an investigation to the very close political ties between trudeau and the cbc.

Have you noticed the only serious journalism from the cbc about trudeau, is about the socks he wears?


Public schools are controlled by locally elected school boards, not unions. The reason that teacher's unions skew Democratic is that Republicans, as evidenced by Devos, constantly disparage public education.


She has been asking for it for awhile and now she's getting what she deserves. Also, Is she afraid of water. I have read that she smells so bad she attracyus flies. When she was in the White House the White House staff couldn't stand to be around her because she stunk so bad. What doesn't she take a bath?


They gave their opinion on a bunch of other stuff, why not reference the law ? Your response is utterly shocking, they have all those case law references in that ruling, and not one of them actually references the law, and you say that could not have been a factor ? Shocking

I am old and mostly liberal. I subscribed to the Anchorage Daily News my entire adult life until last fall. The new ADN had some time earlier instituted the robotic censorship that has the arrogance to restrict comments. I wrote and told them that if they didn't rectify that I wouldn't continue subscribing.They didn't so they can thank this "Civil Comments" effort to prescribe political correctness and conformity. I am not so liberal as to be correct in my remarks for Rogoff or any other reader and certainly not for a computer.


By their own actions the protesters have proven they do not respect the rule of law.  This is not tribal land.  There is very little chance that any reroute of the pipe line will happen.


I happened to meet LeBlanc at a Red Cross fundraiser a while back and had the opportunity to chat with him. He actually mentioned that the old strategy of responding to fires was to roll everything you've got at them, and how he was changing that or continuing to evolve the department into a model where they send a couple smaller units to the scene and as they get closer and get additional calls in, they roll more and more based on a gradually improving picture of what's happening on the ground. So as the small units get closer and the smoke is still black, and more calls are coming in from people freaking out, the more likely that they're dealing with something serious so roll more trucks.
Coupled with hearing him talk about this response strategy and the above article on management discipline, I think the city is lucky to have him in that position. Seems like he's doing great work and asking the right questions.


Yup there it is the folks, the entitled are on a feeding rampage.
 It's not enough to have an indexed pension, unlimited sick days, early retirement, gold plaited health care plan, 8 plus week vacation days, accumulated sick days, personal days,double time and half , endless  job security, elevated hourly rate over private sector counterparts , public union representation, 37.5 hour work week and on and on and on .

I will confess that its left is "less extreme" than its right. But it is far to the "left' of the traditional Democrat Party. And they are full of loud words and the  insistence that nobody other than them should ever be listened to. Anger from coast to coast. I like Bernie Sanders and I like listening to him -a very sharp man. But the "young" who are his most dedicated followers are loud and dismissive of anybody who disagrees with them - sometimes including other Democrats. Yells and screams. And they are battling against a "yelling and screaming" Republican Party. America is screwed up.


Finally some justice for the families of the victims who have waited much too long.


Go Bows!    First, it was NORM CHOW who destroyed the brand of UH football. Coach Mac was loosing it, but he had not done nearly the damage that NC did.  Glad to see Rolo righting the attendance ship.  50k sellout for BYU at the end of the season is not beyond reason if we keep winning.


No shame on Natasha Imhof for not knowing the financial workings of her husband's business.  As a spouse who is benefiting financially from her husband's shady business practices, how is Imhof going to be able to know how her fellow Republicans in the capital are handling the state's fiscal affairs?  In Imhof's household there truly is a Santa Claus.

I can't wait until Trump threatens to put a 20% tax on iPhones not made in the US and what that will mean to the 50,000 Foxconn employees who assemble iPhones in China.


Let me explain a simple concept for you - just because something is "history", doesn't mean it deserves a statue in the public square.  For example, King George is most definetly part of our nations history, but we don't honor him with statues do we?  The 9/11 hijackers were also a big part of our history.  Would you be equally concerned with someone toppling a statue of Mohammed Atta?  and if someone did topple such a clearly offensive statue would they be erasing that history?


He can surround himself with as many generals as he wants. Congress is building their own "wall", around PGPOTUS. Should be interesting to see how badly they're going to screw up the next major agenda item...taxes. What does General Kelly know about domestic policy? This has something to do more with djt keeping his own taxes a secret.


Yeah your side has been calling it "collusion" for an entire year and acting like it was the gravest threat to Democracy ever.
So are you ready to confess you over reacted because you were upset you lost?


I have said nothing about Williams.  I have said nothing about Obama.

I have only referred to our local racist and that based only on his actual comments linking NFL fans to racism.

Your attempted deflection away from the local racist fails.


Reality is subjective in your universe, so why do you care or bother?


thanks Justin. now I feel great that most of these people make more than my wife and I because we are seniors.


As I said in an earlier post... Sure, there have been a few incidents of Trump supporters engaging in violence. But the vast majority of violence prior to the election and since the election came from, and is coming from, the anti-Trump side of the fence.


It seems every time the word "infrastructure" comes up, our governments want to plead broke yet theres no shortage of money when it comes to their pet projects and vote buying schemes. The taxes are meant to pay for infrastructure first and foremost and this seems like a very worthy cause that just about any taxpayer could get behind. No money for sick kids yet Toronto fancies itself a 'sanctuary city' and actively promotes itself as some refugee tourism hot spot where claimants are just another sector of the tourism industry, that we pay for? Give over


Instructions for families ia to buy a dna kit at the drugstore (don't have that company process the kit as it is too expensive and will not put their dna into the general population for comparison) and contact ftdna.com for an overnight delivery of their dna kit which also uses cheek swabs.

Tell me the last time a government committed to doing something that they succeeded?


No problem at all. I agree. Your "I find" is based on your experience in the arena and it must be honored, respected, valued, and appreciated. I also place a high regard on the "awesome" value of learned liberation based on your experience.  Thank you.

I hope you allow others to say "I find" based on their discernment and experience....and their pain, abuse, imposed unworthiness, absence of intimacy, and self-doubt that brought them to valid conclusions far different than your valid conclusions.

You emphasize the question, "What is best for my family?" That is the right question. Please trust others to also ask and answer that question.
