The genius of President Trump is on display again as he is using his position to destroy the fake, elitist and indoctrinated news in our mist and there is nothing they can do about it. Just like using a laser pointer to annoy a cat, President Trump is able to turn on the pointer, totally control the liberal news cycle, place the pointer at a wall and watch the fake news run at the wall at breakneck speed in an effort to point out that he has went to far. When the fake news runs into the wall they find out that the pointer has moved on they are left groping in the dark with the gnashing of teeth. It's about time.

For years Bill Maher, Colbert and their liberal news has been the bully in the play yard, pushing conservatives into the mud and selling their lunch money, destroying who they do not like running them into the poorhouse.

President Trump is the president. He will be there for the next eight years and he will have the House and the Senate majorities to help him.

Sad that they don't take into account the years living in the same home in Property Tax. There are a lot of people who lived in the same home for over 40 years. They can't go anywhere, they can afford it. There should be a point in time where owner/occupants should be given a fixed property tax for as long as they stay in the same house.


Best customer service I have ever received over the phone from a big company was L.L. Bean. Their call centre is in Maine, like their head office. Now that the Canadian dollar has tanked I can't afford to shop with them, but they are my first choice for high quality online shopping.


A total pinhead answer too, as if a gentleman his age would even be considered by APD.  What next, grandpa should join the Marines?  And really Mr Mayor, quit your parties' default answer of blaming the previous administration for issues that are clearly on your watch.


Regarding the bird killer Gutierrez, it's too bad his jail time wasn't longer.  I have kids and they did crazy stuff but they never "killed" defenseless living creatures for fun.  His TV apology was not sincere, he and his buddies knew exactly what they were going to do with the weapons they brought that night, and it's too bad they won't be publicly punished as well.  As a parent of an NYU alumni, they don't need a student like him, who doesn't have a strong moral compass.  He's just a follower.


Afraid you lost me, Sarasi. What difference does that make? I think NCR sacrificed what little editing ability it had when it switched from DISQUS to Civil (sic) Comments. I don't notice any less offensive commenting on the new site, and the quality of the articles seems to have gotten worse.


Bullpucley. At no point did he bemian corporatism; his comments werr about jobs that pay $100K, which is certainly a living wage... and as far as taking shots at polticians, the author's were reserved for.... liberals.

"Be careful what you wish for" is timeless wisdom.


Blackburn's claim was based on a lie. So, good for twitter.


What was the lifespan back then?


You trying too hard to be funny...#MAGA


The over representation argument comes in when other groups are "underrepresented".

The larger point was that in the US, white Americans were not being discriminated against. Their Ivy League enrollment matched their share of the population. There is a belief among many white American males that they are being discriminated against. The statistics don't bear that out.

What is clear that there is less discrimination for them. Therefore CEOs, professional employees, and even Presidents, are more likely to be female or minorities. But white males will still be over represented in the top for a few more decades.


Alaska is too small a place to hide!


didn't support either candidate or any others sounds like you didn't vote.


Great, then they can get high on the way to school!


You're right, enough already Hillary voters! Stop trying to pad the numbers because Granny Mao is losing!


Actually, not typical. The SoS could not personally create such policy, or at least could not in previous administrations. State is so understaffed now, who knows?


Ak - what do you want them to say? I find the fact he stabbed someone in the head because the guy looked at him wrong offensive. I don't understand why or how this offends you. Please explain.


It was Republicans who indulged in manufactured hysteria about bathrooms that led to their ability to steal elections.


I think now is the best time to invest in inorganic farming. That is, building robots.


No, they don't.


Wasn't talking to you, was I?


well i certainly hope you are not driving a fossil fuel car, and using methane, or using electricity from coal powered plants to heat your home in support of your ideals. since it is past time, to shut off all your electricity, quit using gasoline/diesel, and gas and/or electricity to heat your home and hot water and go cold turkey. ps: you can't fly in airplanes, ride in trains, or use public transportation either. and put a halt to, all space exploration also.


Men through the centuries have been the main road block to women's equality. It's clear men alone are not responsible for keeping women in their place.


Keep in mind that bikes don't up and operate themselves. Nor do they deploy pepper spray without human interaction. That and countless other things that require "our" say/action in the matter....much like the background check for those "fiendish" things you are scoffing at.


Maybe it's because you're humourless!.   I fly AC almost every week and their Reps do, in fact, make me laugh...

Like everything else we take for granted in Canada, we don't know how good we have it.


This comment (below) has already been censored once. The irony is so thick you could cut it with a knife...
It has already gone far beyond the university. After more than two generations of SJW teachers, lawyers, politicians and judges being turned out they are well entrenched in society. It may already be too late but if it isn't it soon will be unless the silent majority starts speaking up PDQ.


No should about it - it is all about politics.

I am well aware of s. 33 - my undergrad degree specialized in constitutional law and at law school several of my profs were constitutional experts instrumental in the drafting of the Charter so I am quite aware of the option.  However in the real world I simply do not see any federal government taking such action.

The Liberals have several times stated clearly they will not use the that power as they will comply with court rulings.

The Conservatives under Harper had a number of opportunities to use it and never seriously considered it despite the right wingnut fringe in the party setting its hair on fire.

Furthermore invoking s. 33 would require Canada to reject its international obligations and withdraw from various international conventions and agreements on refugees.  That will not be happening.

Besides the number of refugees in this situation is a drop in the bucket in the over-all intake of immigrants.


In terms of NAFTA negotiations, at present nothing is going to hurt Canada more than the  takeover of Vancouver-based  Norsat International, a Canadian satellite communications company,  by the Chinese telecom Hytera will influence the negotiations.  According to Just 21/17  G&M: “[T]he U.S Defence Department began a review of all its contracts after the firm closed a deal on June 23 to be swallowed up by Hytera. The U.S. military has contracts to buy satellite communications equipment from Norsat – technology that will now be transferred to China”.

Chad Pata, seen the news clip of fans waiting and getting frustrated.  I totally agree with you.  Amazing there wasn’t a riot.  The event organizer is incompetent and a rookie.  Terrible!


Thai Orchid is a personal favorite of mine.  The Tom-ka-gai soup is superb and perfect for a cold day. A group of us (construction workers) order it in the summer when it is rainy and miserable outside, and it warms you right up as well as being far more food than most can eat in one sitting.  If you haven't been to Thai Orchid, I would recommend it strongly.  Beware though, it is family operated and they often shut the place down for weeks at a time for vacations and such.


Recall that the Trump administration's claim with the initial executive order attempting to ban travel for citizens of seven majority-Muslim countries was that it needed 90 days to "improve vetting procedures". That was 119 days ago.

It would have been interesting, had the court not rejected the government's appeal based on the transparently discriminatory rationale behind the ban, for it to have requested a progress report on this from the Department of Justice.


Using three exclamation marks, when done as it was, is perfectly fine.  If you don't understand how it was used in this way, see my earlier comment.


The attitude of dealing judgmentally, harshly and mercilessly with poor and struggling human beings is the reason there are so many poor and struggling human beings.  Global warming can't happen fast enough.  This species needs a major kick in the rump, and it's going to get it.  Meanwhile, people, enjoy your guns and the unrestricted burning of carbon.  It really seems to be making your lives into things of beauty.


Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...it's a duck..and that's all this skanky government has done since taking the helm.  Liberals can't seem to help themselves going back decades.  Where's the oversight, where's the outrage, where's the ethical and moral integrity.  2019 cannot come soon enough.


DonInKansas again with nothing to offer but a fool's grin.  Look, Don!  I'm holding up two fingers.  (Don laughs.)


The lawyer explained already. Trump's tweet was a response to the *media report* not to info he has himself.


False equivalency. The Jews weren't meeting the Nazis in the streets with baseball bats and pepper spray before the Nazis began to inter them in concentration camps. Had they been doing that ... yes, I would have held them accountable for initiating the violence, but it still wouldn't have condoned what the Nazis did.

Why is it so hard to understand that there is no right or wrong side here? Both sides are entitled to an opinion and both sides are wrong for expressing that opinion in violence. Saying it's okay for one side to express an opinion, but not the other is as wrong as saying its okay for one side to be violent, but not the other. Because they both aggressed against each other, both are wrong and there is no right side in this debate.

The only right response to this is to condemn both sides.


No, that's not true. Please please I beg you read up on what this bill does. It is seriously slashing Medicaid. That's why everyone that relies on it is terrified.


Just what kind of doctors are these, exactly? Did they even swear the Hippocratic Oath?


A tale of a failed President, now at last he can return to his roots, the Golf Course.


In 2013  public support  was for a missle attack on ISIS not Syria and Assad (and Obam did that sending missles form Navy ships against ISIS targets) Both Repbulicans and Democrats were opposed to an attack on Assad. Obama's plan that he stopped at the last minute was for hundreds of missles directed at almost all of Assad's war making facilities and airfields and not just 59 missles directed at one airfield.  But Congress was opposed and Obama chose not to defy congress. Trump has chosen a narrow approach directed just at use of Sarin gas and he was very careful to say that. Assad and the Russians retain serious military assets in Syria. Al Quaeda and ISIS have just expressed support for the attack on Assad and Russia is making it more difficult to coordinate with Russia against ISIS but freezing communication. This makes the next step a diplomatic and not military.- Russia may not feat a limited strike like Trump's but it is better than nothing.


Same problem I imagine at Discovery Bay! So grateful we didn't get enticed into those two buildings at that time!


Native corporations are among the minority of companies subject to the state's corporate tax.


"How did we get here? "
The most truthful answer to this can be found in the brilliant Martin Warburg's writings: "........... incompetent, inept and greedy people who have been placed in office by equally ignorant, gullible and inept voters incapable of connecting the dots."


You cannot change what doesn't exist.


"We need to support Mexico beyond the $26,97 Billion sent there this year in remittances?"

When you say 'we' who are you referring to? I know I didn't send any money, nor did the government. So I guess it must have been you and your friends.


HOORAY!!!!!!


Something I don't like? Try something with lazy and "leapy" logic and that is prejudicial against a whole society. If he held ANY other position at McGill (Biology, Arts, etc), I don't think he would've had to automatically step down, but to be the head of a political science institute that promotes the "better understanding of Canada", and to claim that Québec is a morally failed society? Surely that is an untenable position, ESPECIALLY if advanced in a un-rigorous lazy piece of opinion journalism.


Israel is the light of the World, we have Torah to  enlighten our lives... "their is nothing new under the sun", "I am alone, their is no one besides me". Following a Jesus Christ or Yeshua is Idol worship(paganism in it's most deceptive form).

JPZ, Your view on corporate lobbied for welfare is valid and absolutely correct I am right with you on that. So JPZ you figure out how to eliminate big lobbied for corporate sweetheart handouts. It is past time and I'm listening. But just as bad is the intercity generational I'm entitled to government handouts mentality. And I will vote for whoever will give me more. These people pride themselves not by being productive and self supporting but by how well they game the system. JPZ we do need a security net for folks not able to take care of themselves. and most self sufficient hard working people are willing to pay taxes to help the incapable. A person who applies for public assistance basically declares themselves to be a ward of the state. Prisoners are wards of the state and are not allowed to vote. If you are a ward of the state on welfare then you should temporarily not be able to vote because you will vote fore more and better welfare. Just go to work and have a say.


Oh my gosh! I had completely forgotten about this, now it comes back in a wave. I was a kid and we had very few newspapers where we lived but it was HUGE news! Too bad they were unable to find any photos to go with the article.


Dave Reardon, great article!

This training exercise is such a cool way to kick off preseason for the Warriors.  I like how they keep a lot of Hawaiian traditions in the team.

I think the players will look back fondly on this experience long after their football playing days are over.


trubo69: I'm familiar with the area. I can't imagine the apprehension of kayaking between Disenchantment Bay and Russell Fiord. Its a narrow pinch, maybe 700 meters wide and all of the north pacific seems to come and go through there.

Ned: especially now, Alaska needs more exposure to science and wonder.


I'd feel far more empathetic about this decision if Beal had already been found guilty rather than charged. Developing policies related to violence and abusive behavior certainly need to be put into place - but why not see what the Court determines first?  What if he is found not guilty?


Just to clear a couple of things can't really go into much since the courts are still involved and although I support the 2nd amendment I myself do not carry I have been a professional security guard In Alaska for 15 years protecting complete strangers with my life if need be that because that's who I am. yes my neighborhood has had a lot of thefts prostitution robbery's break ins and on this day I had just finished a 20 hour shift went home to get a couple of hours sleep cause I was going to send my disabled mother some money via Western union which closes at 8pm so as I was leaving to do so I turned right beside my carport where are dumpster is and there was a guy blocking the road I kindly asked him to move so I could get by and he looked at me like he was lost so when he finally moved I rolled down my window and asked if he needed any help to which he replied my beef ain't with you its with Cody which I have no idea who that is so I then told him no one lived here by that name and


Drama queen.


Are you posting on the wrong countries news???


No surprise here.  Is there any project involving the State DOT that goes according to plan??
Sounds like certain individuals got to wet their beaks on this project  like the consultant and probably others not noted in this article.
Given this huge screwup by DOT leadership, Fuchigami and others involved should be fired or demoted.
There also should be an investigation by the State Attorney General or even better by the FBI if that is possible because this situation
appears to be more involved than just incompetence and stupidity.


What's a living wage? Dollar figure please.


So much here to think about.   I'd like to highlight something near the end of the article:

Fr. Reese ends the article noting that this particular issue seems to fall through the cracks when various advocacy groups look past their agreements and focus on their disagreements. THAT, IMHO, may well be the problem of the day in our society.  If one is a conservative, liberal, libertarian, Catholic, Black, Muslim, Jew, millennial or boomer, that's all we need to know about that person.  We stop there, discussion over.  The end result, we ALL tend to be fed a steady diet of fear.  No wonder so many in the Western world fear Islam.  With all this fear OF Islam, that same fear stokes liberals who fear rights will be pulled back instead of expanded, fueling conservatives who fear that liberals are giving away or spending our future, fueling even more fear that begets more fear....

These problems are VERY real.  I think Fr. Reese has it right.  The fix is to focus ad develop what we agree on.


Except I'm not.

Nah.  There is so much good.  Believe me.  Believe me.  Developing Alaska's resources is so good for America.  So good.  What a deal.
Just hoping that THIS ONE does not get green-lighted.  So bad.  So bad.


To understand Trump google  DSM 5 301.81      To understand why there is little discussion google Goldwater Rule.


If it were a serious enough of an event that threatened us and there was nothing that could be done do we tell the public to kiss your ass goodbye? Think about it seriously, then look at what actually happened and is happening. We know there were 3 complete melt downs. We know much of it went into the environment, both air and sea. We know they are unable to contain it and it is continuing to spread. This is the most dangerous element to life. Better to be sceptical and demand proof, action, and national release from the top.


If you argue with a gun nut, eventually they will utter a thinly-veiled threat about shooting you.   It's just the way they think.    The comment section of any online publication is full of such threats.

You can take comfort in the fact that gun nuts are much more likely to shoot their own family members, and then kill themselves when the SWAT team arrives.


So in essence businesses  employ people and people pay taxes.    Those business AND income taxes pay your public sector salary.    So they should all take a hit to keep your  public sector lifestyle rolling along?

See Ontario debt for your answer.


Well I'm sure the robot population is happy.  Not only will they have kiosks in every fast-food joint, they'll have robots making the food too soon enough.
Just wait til kiosks catch on in the already dying retail stores. There's already self-checkout in the grocery stores and Wal-Marts. To the high-schoolers looking for jobs: good luck! No one is going to pay no-experience workers $15 an hour when they have a bunch of boomers not quite ready to retire with tons of experience.
So yeah, this is getting right if you're trying to kill low wage jobs.  It's laughable that anyone would think business will just eat these costs with a smile. Actually, I'm not even sure it's laughable anymore.  I think it's malicious intent. These people *want* to kill our jobs and economy.


I hope the Hillcorp plan makes its way through the permit process and ends up being as good as it gets and they develop a very successful project with this new 10 Acre offshore project....and it out produces all estimates.  Alaska has the folks needed to make this project work and work well...


Too big to fail.

This is why I don't use cards from the "big" banks. Arrogance.


http://www.dictionary.com/browse/reactionary.     All the definitions I found said it was extreme conservatism and resistant to social change.   Other sites were much more complete, all said it was a conservative atribute.

But if read this as being against the status quo, you would be very right about both major parties feeling threatened by any emerging party or system that minimizes their power.


Check the title work on your home. Oil and gas mineral rights are listed in the title exceptions.


well done story, ms. garrow.  it's a good read.  i criticize the paper at times, and so it's only fair to acknowledge the good works too.


People on the dark side are the biggest liars, cheats, war mongering, corrupt hypocrites on the planet. They always,  always  are about their lack of power to control how everyone thinks and lash out with childish vulgar  insults. They are the polar opposite  of freedom of thought. If  you are right and Trump is satan that would mean God is coming soon. May your transition to the dark side be fully complete by then. Don't worry you've been 90% there all along. Hail to the chief.


Absolutely. It's a given politicians are not always honest. Lying about combat is unforgivable. He deserves to have the RSM march him down to face the wrath. Heck, I'd send him to Club Ed for a month  to show everyone he's subject to consequences as much as any soldier.


Totally agree.

Going by these threads nowadays, with thoughtful contributors gradually giving up, an innocent reader could think that the typical Canadian is politically to the left of Pol Pot.

And one other thing, I always notice that posters that insult others (see "bitter cranks") usually do an excellent job of being one themselves.

Score one for the psychological theory of projection, and lack of self awareness..


I don't find this surprising Sarah....we spent a lot on catholic university tuition and private boarding school tuition and our kids were less than thrilled with institutional church....they tended then and clearly are now committed to social justice issues on which they spend a LOT of time.....they are loving caring folks and they are raising the same...and the social justice principles are alive and very very well!

I think that the social controls that used to dictate church attendance to kids in my generation are simply not operative in theses kids...perhaps it's their levels of education (grad school and above) that indicate the intellectual problems with institutional Church, i.e. Misogyny, anti gay etc.. they are very very sensitive to what they perceive as injustice and lack of respect to other groups

Perhaps it's because the Church has not been offering helpful spiritual growth help....ie, the Ignatian Exercises, Centering Prayer et al ....instead rules and boring liturgy....


Agree absolutely Betty about comparing actions to words.  For me - still think it helps to know what our actual teachings are ... and who educates our bishops, cardinals, the folks in the pews ... about them - and question why some bits are so taken out of context and emphasized over the essence.

I know in Canada, because of the appointments of the last two - current pope has a very limited range of folks from which to choose.

Would love to know more about Vatican investments ... and for me that again raises a questions about Carl Anderson ... wasn't he on the "board" or whatever it is of the Vatican Bank for a number of years?

and he seems so connected with the "organizations for which the Council for National Policy is an umbrella" ... that that Italian Jesuit journal mentioned (the ecumenism of intolerance one)  ... but I can find no decent commentary on that one.

Have you got one?


I have an issue with it as well, which is why I'm posting about it on the news forum and not Facebook, as well as contacting reps.  Someone making $20,000 a year is paying a 5.5% tax while someone making $50,000 a year is only paying a 2.2% tax.

You say people should have their say when they vote.  I agree.  But if you're going to sack the existing system for paying for state services by making the poor pay more, then they should also have more say in government.

IOW, use the proper channels, both in gaining income for the state, and by voting, rather than allowing someone to dictate outrageous terms.


The populism that Trump campaigned on is fundametally at odds with conservatism.  Health care exposes this contradiction.  Most people want access to affordable health care and they would prefer if that access was delivered through free markets.  But if the markets can't deliver, they are fine at the end of the day with government intervention in the market as long as it works.  An ideological commitment to the free market in all situations regardless of the negative impact on people is what fuels the GOP civil war.


Not unlike the "liberals have taken over the country and are oppressing god-fearing white folk" movie some people play over and over in their heads.


Kevin, (continued)
Believing that through Jesus' suffering, death and resurrection, we are no longer prisoners to our sinfulness - we can choose not to continue to sin and receive Jesus in the State of Grace! A big part of trusting/believing in Jesus, is knowing that He freed us from the chains that bind us to sin. Once slaves to sin, we become obedient to God out of faith. We are no longer slaves to our sinfulness but rather we become slaves of righteousness. Jesus' grace drastically alters our lives. "And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires." (Galatians 2:4). Grace strips you of your idols and sinfulness, beginning the process of making your life reflect the righteousness that was declared for you on the Cross. Grace doesn't cover up the sinfulness in your life, it shines a spotlight on it and gently prompts change because of the price at which we were bought! (Continued)


Where's the personal responsibility in doing something that he KNOWS will get people in trouble (as evidenced by his statements you quote), and continuing that something even after people have died? Only unprepared people who are ignorant of backcountry dangers are responsible, not the guy who is luring them to their deaths?


Strippers at the capital - time to head down there with the cameras lol


In the 60's & 70's, there was a cannery on Airport Road. There were seagulls everywhere. The DOT used carbide cannons to scare away birds. The gulls would squabble over roosting rights on the barrels of these cannons & get "thrilled" when the cannons would go off!  JAL Cargo, on departure from 6L, sucked a gull thru an engine. They said they were going thru the USSR if Alaska did not do something about the birds! As I had worked in the Aleutians a few years fishing, I had learned seagull "psychology". So I told the Airport Chief, that I could get rid of seagulls. He said, "Do what you need to, just get rid of those "Fl**ying birds!" I checked out a shotgun, went down to the end of 6L, where a large shallow pond was &  a lot of nesting going on. I shot 5 gulls & hung them by their necks from strategically positioned  stakes around the area. Soon the air was filled with squawking gulls. About 30 min. later, no seagulls to be seen! That's when I found out what an "Environmentalist" was...


Well said Jim..


Canada has some democratic deficits, but in a multiparty system, it is not uncommon for a party to win a majority with less than 50% of the vote.

In a dual party system like the US, the winner should not lose the popular vote by 3 Million votes.

For any Presidential candidate to lose by such a margin and still be declared  the winner by the elecotal college is unprecedented.

The US is an oligarchy -- not a democracy.  The electoral college is undemocratic.  Superdelegates are undemocratic.  Superpacs are undemocratic.

The whole idea that the US is a democracy is a sham !


"A similar site has been running in Vancouver, B.C. since 2003. Since then, it’s hosted thousands of drug overdoses and no deaths."

You write this as though it's a positive. Just think, if those thousands of overdoses had ended in fatalities, there would be at least a thousand fewer junkies on the streets of Vancouver. Saving the life of a junkie can hardly be viewed as a success.


"9th Island"? What a pathetic term for local people to be associated with.  Legalized prostitution; legalized drugs and of course, legalized gambling.  Now we learn that anyone can buy firearms?  So do the mentally ill?


Eerily similar to 1930s German visages with one house slave reflecting the Old South Plantation reinstalled in D.C.

This is the second post of yours that left me speechless.  You believe in an interesting God.  You can keep him.


no the players were totally wrong you don't protest by using the national anthem as a stepping stool that is very disrespectful to this country so the players were wrong can't you understand that, protest in another way not kneeling down during the anthem.


Like Bethel, why has not the govern-mint entitled native corp already have a liqueur store already making a profit. They were set up to help the locals right? With so little alcohol related problems in the villages what a wonderful idea. Someone should supply them with the refreshments instead of forcing them to break the law and also forcing them to take their hard earned money($200 that they worked so hard for), which takes away from the food from the store the poor children need. The store will also provide good paying jobs I would think, not only in the villages but for the makers and distributors. But then again, most villages always have open jobs on the books, they just do not have the people to fill them as I guess all are working. Why else would there be so many unfilled entry level positions? Think of the increase in govern-mint social workers which will also provide many more jobs for those who do not live there and have to fly in on govern-mint money toalso support pilots.


He can't remember whether or not the grenade he threw killed the American soldier.  Odd sort of a thing for a sensitive individual to forget.

Didn't he wag at the Opposition vis a vis his assertion "that's why its called question Period not answer period, thusly defending the likes Polievre, Colandra, Dean Del Mastro et al, Not for me thanks


Now we're going to invade Syria, even though we don't really know who is behind the sarin attack. What's going on with our involvement in the Middle East? What is the motivation? It's not oil. Where is the national interest in these expensive wars?


I don't think in our current financial situation we'll be spending a million bucks a head to treat addicts who go right back to doing it after they're released.


Stop re-electing the incumbents if you want change.


When coming to a stop, always stop in second or third.  This is enough to provide some engine braking  without risking locking up the wheels.  Shift into first once stopped.  For short lights leave the car in gear with the clutch in but for longer lights or train crossings, shift into neutral with the clutch engaged.  This will prevent undue wear on the throwout bearing.


Also Bush's "religion of peace". I wonder why Bush was never called out.


That's the truth, anyway the new bridge over the inlet might be a Wasilla bypass if it's routed to Big Lake like it should be and get the train tracks out of Wasilla so the city can become a strip mall on both sides of the town.


What do you personally know about either of these attorneys? Could it be that you've been on the losing side? Yeah.


Good for our Alaskan Senators.  The Democrats are so sneaky.  The new rules they propose would not have stopped the Orlando shooter and they know it.  The Democrats use these shootings to push irrevelant legislation every time.  They are so underhanded and deceitful.  Obama's soft approach to Muslims is why this shooter slipped through the cracks.  If the FBI could operate without being hamstrung by Obama's rules to protect Muslims Mateen would have been under their surveillance.


So, a non-government lawyer promising dirt on a political opponent is a "conspiracy". Fine.

How about a foreign spy, with the support of an American company, two foreign governments? You know, like the Democratic party, Christopher Steele, the British and Russian governments, the peegate memo, and Fusion GPS? Isn't that a "conspiracy" too?


Jesus' mercy is about conversion to a whole new world view.  Conversion transcends forgiveness for individual failures by completely removing the filters by which a person has looked at life and through which they have made their choices.  Repeating mistakes becomes a non starter.  Restorative justice is a much closer understanding of Jesus's teachings than retributive justice.


Mike objects to gay sex because it's "icky". He thinks this justifies his fear and loathing of gays. He reads the gospel as saying, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself, unless the neighbor is gay. That neighbor you shall loathe."


No, just plain silly.


Brown made most people happy when he refused to apologise to Wynne. That would be like apologising to the person who just lied to get into your home, then robbed you while accusing you of being a homophobe for not agreeing with their actions. It just does not seem right to apologise to such an arrogant individual.


Real patriots love and protect their country's form of government. Ours is a democratic republic. Some Trump supporters are true patriots. And so are some of his critics. That's because some of Trump's behavior has been akin to nationalism, fascism and authoritarianism. None of that is American. Not yet. Ask any true patriot -- especially those who have fought to preserve our democratic republic -- and they will agree.


Then start a movement to amend the constitution. That is the only way to change the 2nd amendment. Until then, it applies, obsolete or not.


are you suggesting the that higher taxes will keep canadians warm ?


When did Canada get promoted to anything remotely the equal of the U.S.?
Really sorry to hurt feelings but despite the 5 or 10 negative articles you run here on a daily basis about the U.S., you are rarely mentioned in the U.S. media and are on no one's radar. Except in weather reports where Canada gets an honorable mention for cold fronts heading our way, no one cares about Canada.  You can do a dick dance of anger over it, but you are of no consequence to Americans.


I live in rural Ontario and recently bought a fully electric vehicle.  We still have the gas car for longer trips, but the EV is more than adequate for the vast majority of our car travel.  Love it!  If I lived in Montreal I'd take the train to Toronto.


Maybe the cats don't catch rats where you live, but they do catch them where we live.  I was concerned if my outdoor cat was bothering my neighbor so I discussed it with them.  They told me that after I got the cat, they too saw a substantial decrease in the amount of rats around their property.


Apparently, you missed the point of the remark...both Diogenes' and my own.

Sad, really.


anyone with half a brain could have predicted that caldwell's programs were only going to encourage more homeless and how many high school kids are now going to choose it as a career choice when they find out what  they get for free.


Still crying about Trump winning, tell it to the lefties Elizabeth, it's the end of the world.


And what makes it all the more obvious, and funny, is that you can click on all the sets of "agree" icons under the post writer's posts named "di-m0ndz"...

... and voila, the same pattern of timing: Every 3 or 4 minutes, like a clock in precision, in agreement with his posts, and from the exact same names as were posting "diagree" under my post, and in the same interval of time.

Gee, guy named "di-m0ndz", could you leave any more obvious a trail of bread crumbs telling what you are doing?

Wow. Hopefully they are not turning to YOU for advice on keeping things secret and hidden and not obvious, any folks in China who are evading Canadian income tax or are laundering money through Vancouver and Toronto real estate purchases...


Well, the "Russian dossier" should have picked this up, but I saw no mention.


Happily married man here. I waited a long time to do it. One of the reasons not mentioned here is the family court and legal system that incentivizes easy divorce and is wildly biased against husbands and fathers.

Why would you want to get married if a woman can leave because she's not feeling fully satisfied that month, taking half your stuff, and potentially, getting monthly payments from you for life as well?

The family court system makes the trust barrier even higher and harder to get over today, and incentivizes women to end the majority of marriages, often for fleeting reasons of life dissatisfaction, which are meant to be worked through together.

Not to mention, the financial incentives to lower and lower-middle class women for having children out of wedlock are higher than ever. Our perverse welfare system pats mothers to have kids without fathers, or to leave a husband if they have one. These reasons need to be mentioned and addressed as well.


This narcissistic sociopathic megalomaniac is gonna take us all on some weird  ride to gawd-knows-where before he's brought down.


trump won't make it 4 yrs. he is nero fiddling (or golfing) while D.C. burns.  and you're enjoying it?


Exotic ticks: Move it, mooove it, ahh yes.


In my opinion, the intent is the same as it was in the US, do discredit the political and electoral systems in a Western democracy. Russia and China both thoroughly enjoyed the fiasco of a twit like Trump winning and a far right lunatic in France to go with those in countries like Hungary and Poland are just the ticket to weaken Western Europe and the unifying, strengthening effect provided by the EU, flawed as it can be in some ways. Europe is far stronger united than balkanized.


Not this unsubstantiated nonsense again.  It's like Groundhog Day.


Mr. Frank endorses Berney Sanders, first off.

A choice between Clinton and Trump is no kind of choice at all. But let's be real here, Trump is a Fucking joke to begin with.


Just another great waste of somebody's money.  Interesting that the money scorecard gets press while the ideological scorecard remains blank.  But then again, this is America.  Money is the answer for everything.


I would prefer, personally, if the Latin texts reflected the best Theology we have today. The old saying about our prayer forming what e believe holds true.... And what we believe ought to form our prayers.

Perhaps make some nachos in the kitchen during the national anthem if kneeling riles you up so much?  Not as much drama but saves you from making a life altering decision to go without pro football.


Incorrect.  They can not use the banked sick days as vacation.  Though it is true that many do call in sick when they are not, or at the end of their careers get a note from their doctor and go on "stress leave" to use up those days at full pay and adding time for pension calculation purposes.  But Canadians are ok with that, they keep voting for pro-public sector union parties.


Look up the word "facile"... and maybe "propaganda" too...
So more ESL classes?


It's not up to you or your ilk to decide who gets his or her 2nd Amendment rights and who doesn't


"Spend August full-time in replace."

Great idea. It really shouldn't take long for you to finish your giant tax cut bill for the super rich. Just cut out all the parts that pertain to healthcare. Never mind that the vast majority of Americans are now against TrumpCare. I'm SURE they'll like this even better.

Looking forward to 2018.


Yet they refuse to ban driving, the actual dangerous activity. What gives? Just like than vancouver father who was told his kids cannot take the bus. These schools and the province should be going after paretns who drive their kids to school.


This is like Montreal every year.. but without the free salt.

Just lots of car accidents and broken bones.


Yeah, it is amazing how much those stoners have written in the version of the ballot they have in their minds....reality is, that wasn't what was actually written


HB 247 will run your oil industry out of Alaska 24/7, says Alaska's greatest oil finder Mr. Bill Armstrong!

AOGA says HB 247 is an Atom Bomb and many say will destroy Alaska's economy, says it's CEO!

Alaska long time oil and gas activist, Daniel K.  Donkel says, "Save  Alaska's Permanent Fund by using the Constitutional Budget Reserve that has over $8 billion dollars to protect Alaskans and to cover things like Saudi's oil market manipulation!

Saudi is trying to steal oil markets and if HB 247 is made into law Alaska will be handing it's Head on Silver Platter!

Foolish laws like HB 247 will be used by those who flood oil markets to flush out prey, like Alaska!


"alleged harassment by members of the drug squad"

There was noting "alleged" about it.  I was stopped and searched several times on the streets of Vancouver and Burnaby in the late sixties.  I was lucky nobody wanted to plant "evidence" on me.


This is not a pissing contest.  Many lives hang in the balance.  If there was a way to
eliminate Kim Jong Un and the political and military leadership, this would go a long way to
lessen the loss of innocent lives when war comes.


It feels like we are living in a classic 1930's horror film with the GOP as Dr. Frankenstein and guess who as his creation. "It's alive! It's alive!"  You know how the movie ends.


I am not sure where I stand on these two people they both seem to have an interest in helping the people. We all know it is easy to talk the talk What is troubling to me is the big hands the unions has  on both sides. I am still looking for someone to run who will pledge to take no union money. Union money means union control  Union control means higher coast for the people of Hi How much longer do the people of Hi keep doing the same thing expecting a different out come


Regression


Part 1) My healthcare was affordable and attainable under both Bush's, Clinton, and Obama, even during times of unemployment and under-employment.....and not one iota of that healthcare came through government means. Matter of fact, one of those periods of underemployment came when Obama first took office, and when our payroll checks came to us with a 5% FICA hit out of nowhere, HR told us it was mandates of the new administration and there was nothing they could do about it. To add insult, one of Obama's promises was a cap on pharmaceuticals; a big deal to our household since we deal with chronic auto-immune related diseases and those meds can easily swallow half a salary. Obama caved in to the pharmaceutical lobbyists and that promise simply disappeared. Who came to the rescue? The pharmaceutical company that made the drug we relied on; they accepted what pittance our insurance paid and wrote off the rest......


Assuming they're even different people. The regressive leftist echo chamber in these comments makes me wonder if these avatars aren't simply a front for the same anti-democratic apologists for censorship of freedom of speech.


It won't be easy selling Muskoka gazebos paying for labour and materials out of pocket.


Nothing except improvements in the economy, employment and world stature after 8 years of zero.


The GOP is merely responding to the 'reality' TV crowd.  We have spun this fantasy to the point that we'll sacrifice our country.  Whether Trump wins or loses, we are so screwed.


time for people like you to get a life


Well don't expect much after leaving people in the nursing home for at least 24 hours in waist deep flood waters


As Trump might say, 'I only hired him because I thought he was a principled as me.'

His decision to recuse himself notwithstanding, Mr. Trump, I'm sure he is.


How do you know the victim didn't threaten the suspect before? Evrything so clear cut in your world so id like to know please. You said yourself if you was threatened you woukd use deadly force. Im not saying thats the case here but how are you 100 percent for sure? Maybe the guy really felt in danger. If it was you, you would pull put and shoot instead of other options available


I thought I'd try a tin of their mixed nuts: ALRIFAI MIX CLASSIC, orange, 450g
THERE ARE SHELLED PISTASHIO NUTS IN THE TIN, the damn idiots. I'm lucky I didn't break a tooth. And I don't appreciate the HALAL animal cruelty either. It's getting harder and harder to go to these stores.


The net effect is an advantage to the candidate you would NOT be voting for.  For example, George Wallace in 1968 with 13.5% and Ross Perot in 1992 with 19% of the Presidential vote, pulled votes from the major candidate who was most "like" them and would have likely received the votes they received instead.  Preferential balloting overcomes this issue and gives a significant boost to those long-shot, third party/independent candidates.  I think it would help to address the stanglehold the two major parties now have on American politics.  regards, Gary Crum


Is this the same Ben Carson who fabricated most of his autobiography?


Lol wut? I can't even. This is so first world silliness.


it is time for ignorant sheep like you to get some mental help,, the NRA is a group that stands for freedom ,, they have prevented crime and stood for freedom.. you are a nut job of stupidity


I agree, Hillary will keep us flying..........ALL THE WAY TO THE SCENE OF THE CRASH!!


Oahure.com. The only RE site you'll ever need. Has all this and a lot more. Information is for everyone, and Bryn understands that idea. It's time for the outdated real estate purchasing model to be brought up to the 21st century.


Your reply only proves my comment.  And you will indeed deserve the disaster of a Trump presidency.  The country, however, does not.


There is an element of truth to that...the statues of Democrat Civil war heroes were erected in the South as a way of giving a finger to the Republican winners of the Civil war.


Lotta 'Southern Heritage' there in Chugiak, AK, ya figure?
.
And what, exactly, is this Southern Heritage of which you refer? I've seen the 'Heritage not hate' bumper stickers but have yet to hear a reasonable explanation of exactly what this 'heritage' is. Mostly it just looks like a bunch shiat-stirrers expressing their impotent rage.
.
Again, though, I think it's great folks fly the Confederate battle flag! Lets us know who the traitors are!


Le Pen is spouting fascism, plain and simple, just the way fascist voters like it.


that's right?  we need a referendum to determine that.

Hey – even with all the hassles, isn't it great to have a snowfilled winter once again?!  :>)


Putin needs to invite Trump and Bibi to the Crimea for a Yalta Part 2.
Part 1 was FDR, Comrade Stalin and Churchill. These three great minds can divide the world so can
Trump, Putin and Bibi.
Israeli expands because of lack of living space, Russia has lots of living space well they need to protect Russian citizens from the fascist in Ukraine.  Trump will be the honest broker and deal maker that he is.


And what do they rule exactly?


"Sponsorships contracts and rider fees will cover most of the operating costs of the bike rental program."

Is that also the money that will cover the costs when the "Vandals slash tires and seats, and cut spokes" and trash the rental sites, too?

$15,000 here, $15,000 there.  Please count the graffiti damage in Eugene and then tell me this kind of damage won't happen here.  I'd like a morning chuckle!


Taxpayers did not make the promise for PERA to completely fail in their management of the funds.  PERA is the one at fault.  During great years they threw the money to retired teachers and begged for more teachers to retire early rather than saving this money for down years (which occurred only a few years later).  Because of PERA's mismanagement you are saying it is the taxpayers to blame?  I call your BS!


What did I write that leads you to think I "...can get in Trump's head to see what he believes."?
`
You say "He is Honest".
I say he is one of most dishonest people I've ever heard.
But at least we can agree that we both like honesty.
It's a shame we can't agree on what honesty is.


I had breakfast and lunch with three people on staff with Republican congressmen yesterday (I am on the East Coast and one of them worked for me). And I read the summary of the bill they prepared for their congressmen. Which is what all of congress did before they voted. They told me that a small handful of conservatives drove a few small but major changes to the bill which mislead to some extent the House Republicans,, including Paul Ryan. Ryan just said the following about the bill:  “We think we need to do even more support for people who are older and also more support for people with pre-existing conditions,” Ryan acknowledged. “The Senate will complete the job.” The changes made for fewer than 12 conservatives can blow up the bill in ways not anticipated when the Republicans passed it.


Huh? I don't understand your sarcasm at all, but being white, maybe that makes me stupid? Bicycle thieves? Even today, more than a hundred years after the first bicycle was designed, they have always been imported! So....?


You're lying of course, but that's what you do here.  The media is not driving the anti-Trump narrative.  The American people are.  Because Trump is a total failure as President, and he's also a Nazi sympathizer.  No one needs the media to see that.  Trump makes it very easy to hate him.  He's a loathsome piece of garbage, and always has been.


This kind of ultimatum has no place in world politics. Putin is a lot more knowledgeable about the situation in Syria than Tillerson and won't fall for the usual propaganda. And how about Trump making 180 turns at every .. turn? How can somebody like that issue an ultimatum (to side with them)?


Yakabuski, expert at everything has found a new apple in his eye.  Japanese PM Abe.

Guess he has gotten over his love affair with Clinton and finally given up and conceded that Trump actually won the US election.

Poor Abe.  Support from Yakabuski tends to be inversely correlated with political success.


Just like at every hatchery, making for genetic inbreds, it works exactly the same in any fish farm or hatchery. Many Fishermen have the exact same issues, the gene pool proves it. AIFMA APPROVED! Just change the name to BBFA.

Call em "Wild Caught" at ASMI, after being jacked off in a plastic bucket. These hatchery systems are disasters, always have been, always will be.

Darwin figure it out long ago. Artificial Selection. That's what happens to your farm or hatchery fish, jacked off in plastic.

So 15 year old, so-called Dreamers are taking jobs away from adults? Let's see that citation. If the job growth is so flat, childbirth over the ages would cause unemployment, the likes of which we have not seen. Show us that one too. Every year when all those kids who were born reached working age, they would be added to the unemployment roles because, as CarpaDM pointed out, job growth was flat. What's today's unemployment rate? Show us a source that has accounted for all these adults who can't have jobs because job growth is flat.

come on AP and SA bring it all out almost every senator and the  congress all talked with Russian ambassador's and other Russian officials, so sessions you told the truth when asked if you talked with any Russians about the election you said no, so you told the truth you were probably talking about other stuff like how is your family and just normal stuff, and along comes Pelosi, schumer and this gutierez  guy come out with all these accusations you know what investigate the backgrounds of Pelosi, schumer and that other guy maybe there involved with criminal activities go get um!  sessions.


oh, then I think you should be taxed.


It's not the most neighborly thing to do but maybe BC needs to have their flow of oil cut off for a month or so to give them a clear sense of reality about how dependent they are on oil.

Atlantic Canada was in a crisis when they lost their cellular network for a day. Just imagine losing something as vital as oil and its hundreds of vital refined derivatives for any length of time.


Barrack Huessin Obama is a president who hates this country. He is doing everything in his power to discredit President Trump.  Any report from the Cocaine Import Association should be held suspect when not agreed to by several other intelligence agencies.  Strange coincidence that this comes out just days after Georgia caught the Homeland Security making mulitple attempts to hack the Georgia computer system.


The liberals say "fairness"?
No, this is a clash between private vs public.
That money in the corp invested in GICs
2% return
The govt takes 1% in taxes (50%)
inflation takes 2%
The corp gets -1%

Thats the private side today, what more do they want.
The public side: indexed pensions based on highest years of income.

Where is the fairness today, even before Morneau initiates a tax grab????


All Presidents read prepared speeches from a teleprompter, ALL of them in today's world.  I hope he gets back on twitter today because he plays you like a fiddle and I think that's just fine.


I wonder whether Simone Cornelius has been studying much this year?


So in "performing their job" are they not required to actually keep the person alive? If he was not killed why the settlement?


"The whole top of Mauna Kea is Ancestral Burial Grounds,"

A comprehensive, respectful EIS (Environmental Impact Study) found burial sites on Mauna Kea are either at lower elevations or on the pu'us. There are no records of burials anywhere near the TMT site. The closest shrines are about one thousand feet or more away from the TMT site.

..."kapu to even talk about." This begs the question, why are you talking about it then? The idea that anybody follows the kapu system today is ludicrous. Men and women can't dine in one another's company? Women are not allowed to eat certain foods? Offenders face death.

As I've said elsewhere, the protesters' ideology and sovereignty agenda TRUMP their concern for our children's futures. Such short-sighted self-interest is truly sad. It most definitely is not Hawaiian in spirit or intent.


Ha! Any results that showed there were no instances of voter fraud would be deemed fake news by the right so why bother?


Liberals/Democrats/Trump Haters are really digging DEEP! lol


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

They have oil in the ground...true.
The countries exports are sanctioned ++
In fact however,this oil is probably why everybody is trying to win control of the region in the first place.


US oil production in 2007 was only 5 million bpd.  The US can theoretically double its oil & gas production again in the same way it did from 2008 to 2014 and it did this without any help from the US government.  If Mr. Trump's energy policy is one of removing all obstacles to oil exploration and production then this will happen.  A tax on imported oil will raise the price domestically providing additional incentive for US suppliers to produce more oil.  Of course if the US does apply a BAT, Canada could institute a countervailing duty with imported oil (US and others) but that will never happen as it would affect Mr. Trudeau's Quebec and Maritime supporters.


Well, MLB is not to be outdone. In addition to the old Take Me Out..." during the 7th inning stretch, they have added "God Bless America" as a response to 9/11 as well as the National Anthem at the start. More enforced patriotism!

Sports want to wrap themselves in the flag. A little bit of militarism for the crowd when the jets fly over as well. Now Donny John has has turned it up to 11 as red meat for his followers by conflating patriotism with standing the national anthem. What DJT and many who post here miss is the fact that protesting racial inequality and police actions is about as American as you can get. When people who write "They can protest but not here" seem to be saying is - I don't want to think about it. Besides, you make a lot of money. Again, totally missing the fact that players are also Americans and are more than their sport.

When has it been o.k. for the sitting POTUS to call anyone a son of a bitch for protesting? Oh - that's right - DJT can NEVER do wrong.


Why shoot up a job that you only worked at for 4 months? Not that time at a job has anything to do with apples. Just saying he was a time bomb... Freaking loser!


Gardner would trade his grandmother for an '82 Buick Regal if he thought it would get him one more vote.


The followers of radical Islam (ISIS, et al) believe that they will reap eternal rewards by committing horrific acts against the infidels.  They concentrate on that "ultimate reward" rather than recognizing the "earthly" harm they are doing to others.  They believe that , as you put it, "the good can and often does make up for the bad. "  Over centuries, Christian zealots have taken an all-too-similar approach as they "coverted" the heathen.  "Come to Jesus, or die."  Religious zealotry, IMO, has led to truly evil acts far too often.

I don't care what you believe....that's your business.  However, if a religious person justifies either an evil act or the acceptance of tragedy as the "wish" of god, you lose me.  Mr. Trump claims to be a "Christian"...I ask "Can a true Christian be as self-centered and uncaring as Donald Trump?"  wow, I certainly hope not.  I try to live by the Golden Rule..."do unto others as you would have them do unto you."  ...secular humanism works..  Gary Crum


I look forward to reading the entire interview. I've always admired Martin Scorsese for his ability to tell a story. Even his most violent films have a strong morality about them. He always shows the consequences of personal choice in a compelling way.

I would take exception, though, to Scorsese's suggestion that he didn't have a true vocation. He most certainly did. It was to be a filmmaker.


I fail to understand why the medical fraternity doesn't more carefully consider the existing evidence that nutritional deficiency is at the root of a lot of postpartum depression.   In particular, vitamin B12 deficiency likely is a significant contributing factor.

Using drugs like Prozac to address this amount to using a coat of paint to fix a rotting fence.  It's purely on the surface.   Drugs like Prozac don't deal with the underlying biological and biochemical issue.


wow what a nothing burger.

 why wouldn't Comey
let's move on as there is nothing here


Government should focus on making Canada to prosper and not waste our hard earned money for "global" nonsense. Get our people educated, create jobs for them, educate our aboriginal population and get them our from poverty. Get skilled and educated immigrants if needed from Europe i.e Germany and get them to organize our country to be productive. We need to replace our current government asap.


Bankish ,this is on free side of G&M , Ms Won is behind the pay wall most often , but she never produces anything worth paying for. I wish the G&M well ,but they really need to send someone to Data Marketing (Nov.20th) to learn how to run a newspaper with just Ad's (and make money) or they could just Hire Me!!!


It did!  Perhaps this is a new beginning for the G&M.


I notice that no trump supporters are denying that they are lying. The best they can do is point out other peoples lies. Doesn't say much when your argument can be won by a 5 year old.


We've gone from having to hunt and kill our own food, to purchasing it at the grocery, to having people bring it out to our cars, to having people bring it to our house..
This cannot be healthy for a civilization full of omnivores..


Headline:  "UO official to speak about Knight campus at Eugene Chamber event"

Article:  "Eugene-based Summit Bank on Wednesday reported a nearly 14 percent increase in third-quarter profits."

That Headline person has found a new and different way to screw up!

Who are the 'Editors' over at the R-G?

Does anyone have responsibility over the Headlines?   Could someone be assigned to read them?

Maybe the person who wrote the article might care what they say?  Chelsea?  Ed?


The fans are not stupid.  Until all of the NFL follows their own rules and gives this nation and its flag the honors it deserves, flan attendance, and thus NFL profits will continue to drop.  If you want to have a real impact show some respect for the nation and God that have given you the freedoms that you do not apparently appreciate.  But for an act of God any or all of you could have been born into a terroristic third world nation where if you even blinked incorrectly you life would be forfeit.  I am not saying this nation is perfect but what you are doing is deceive and done more for money than anything else.  Fans are not stupid and you shall be paying the ultimate price for your own stupid actions.  Leave politics to our elected politicians and play ball.  We are not there to listen to your solidarity and incessant whining.  WE PAY YOU FOR SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT AND NOT YOUR POLITICALLY MOTIVATED VIEWS.  Can it be said any plainer? Grow up children you are adults now.


Yes I do know it, I was being smug. This has to do with practicing religion, which I hope you will do. My religion requires me to love my neighbor, not rally against them and shun them from my house. I have my own sin's to worry about thank you very much. I just don't like seeing my religion (Christianity) used to publicly humiliate other human beings regardless whether I perceive their lives as sinful. We are called to look inward at the planks in our own eyes and avoid pointing out the specks of dust in others.  Seeking to make the lives of others miserable is an even greater sin.  Jesus spent a LOT of time teaching us that lesson.  He spent very little time talking about sex. Let's put it in perspective.


"Societies destroy themselves by being xenophilic as history has shown us."

Does it really? Then you'll have no problem pointing to the numerous historical examples of societies that have destroyed themselves by welcoming immigrants. Then we can compare that to the great number of obvious examples where societies have continued to prosper with immigration. Standing by...


Poor "Eddie" boy, he thinks so well of himself, but all for nought.


Having Tuckerman Babcock leading the party shows how far the Republican party has slipped. To see him attacking union workers shows his lack of morality. He and fellow republican crony Bruce Scott probably took more compensation during their tenure at MEA than any union lineman. They had no qualifications and definitely not going out in any storm to restore your power.


So questions were "rigged" to weed out the scientifically illiterate. Who knew that science was so much a priority that it would extend to Miss America. God bless (Miss) America.


GREAT  INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM BY THE GLOBE & MAIL AGAIN!!

I don't know what you guys are drinking, but keep right on doing it.  It is so refreshing to see this kind of investigative journalism because it cuts to the heart of the issue.

Family trusts better darn well be part of this tax reform or Trudeau will be sent packing for a very long time.


As the old timers used to say down in the Ozarks when I was growing up - "You can't talk your way out of what you behaved your way into"!


Hear hear I say, hear hear!


Key to Liberal success is making Canadians feel like they too are just regular folk while really being a celebrate driven party, out of touch with ordinary people and a big part of the ruling elite. Liberal faithful buy into it and strangely still hold the fashionable anti- American sentiment while their leaders spend a lot of time in the U.S..
Getting Americans to like us is not a bad thing and I give Trudeau credit for that. This can only help future trade negations.


Puhleeze.....This is sick and obscene. So glad we moved to Montreal after 30+ years in Toronto. This is exactly the mentality we fled. Get real, TO.


I've these posts and it looks like there are
an awful bunch of cowards in Canada. Time
will come when you will need Americas help
and guess what. We'll let NK use you for their
demonstration purposes. We in America have
the ability to isolate and defend our borders while
kicking out lowlife.
So long, good-bye, as kim will fry you.


Dividends help with the high cost of kids. No one thinks another kid will make them more wealthy through dividends. It just doesn't calculate. I have kids & it only helps. Fact of the matter is our budgets are partially structured around the dividends. It was ripped away from us on short notice. This caused many of us to come short on bills, food, fuel. Everyone is entitled to an equal share, if you don't need it a donation option is on the application. We want it left alone. If it goes away in 20 years our kids will be raised & they will raise their kids under a new form of budgeting & they will have time to prepare. We need our stolen share from 2016. We need it now .We are pissed to say the least. Stop giving oil companies billion dollar tax cuts, you know who you are!


Great. I though I got rid of stupid Canadian Content when I cut the cord.  Now I have to subsidize more third rate productions through my Netflix subscriptions.

Take a hint guys.  If you have to legislate something to make it exist, then it probably shouldn't exist.  Let the market decide.


Actually, what I find most compelling about our Liturgies is the interaction between celebrant and the congregation.  It is the participation in the responses that draws me into the prayers.  I find that much more present in the NO liturgy.  I always found the Latin Mass to be dry and off-putting.


How do you feel about the senators who were appointed today?

How do you feel about the new supreme court justice?


Citizens United has our politicians doing much worse than mere begging!


I would think dying of any kind has always been a relief to the health system.


Really? Have you ever been to a real Cuban hospital? I have. I was born under the Castro paradise. You just repeat the Castro lies about Cuba.

Check this out:  http://www.therealcuba.com/?page_id=77

Personally, I am very glad Castro is very dead.


I learned to not repeat my mistakes. Imagine if I had erased my memory every time I made a mistake. Wouldn't I have doomed myself to keep repeating them? In the past, groups were mistreated. Learn it and know better in the present and future. Is that not more constructive than censorship, revisionism and pretending?


I think its funny you posted a serious reply to my obvious tongue-in-cheek list of "Conservative solutions".  You suggest im "under the impression" of something when im not.  You also suggest that I got my "solutions" based on information listed in the article, which again, I didnt. The "solutions" I listed are pretty large "talking points" for Conservatives on many issues and if you are unable to see how they relate to the article even in a somewhat jokingly manner, then you might need to play a little catch-up on current events.

But, since you seem unaware, you might want to look into this:

Exactly.


How is it unconstitutional to attach conditions to federal money? It is in fact done all the time. How is it unconstitutional to require States to comply with federal law to receive federal funding? This too is a long standing practice.
What kind of crackpot attorney are you? By your logic the federal government under every president has committed unconstitutional acts against the States.
Again, it's not the executive order that is the problem, it's who issued it.


Why would anyone expect anything else that what is said above ?


"Really? How important? "
Oh brother. So to you the level of importance and when they were erected is the key. Got it. Funny stuff.


So you saw where those 100 amendments were virtually nothing of any importance, and the most interesting part was if the Democrats could have come up with than extra vote in the Senate they would have gone too.
How many democrats amendments are there in the AHCA?  None I hope!!!In fact I hope the passage of Obamacare and the way it was done will go down in history as what not to do when drafting a bill that effects 1/6 of nation's economy. There is no telling how long it will take before the self-centered arrogant politicians will pull their heads out of their butts and do the right thing.

A perfect example of the problem with international hockey.  Because there is essentially no parity, most of the tournament is a waste of time.  If they want to have real competition, then they should force teams to qualify and only allow the top 8, or even top 6 would be better.  Out of that they can round robin down to a top 4 and have the semis and finals.

Then there might be the potential for worthwhile hockey to watch.


It is the laity, not Cardinal Cupich and Archbishop Chaput, who are living the conditions of AL.  They (the laity) will consult their well-formed consciences and do as their consciences direct them.  As well they should.  No confusion there.


IMHO, there is no team in the Atlantic division that is a sure bet for the playoffs next year.  Some of the non playoff teams will likely be improved - Tampa Bay for sure and maybe Florida and Buffalo.  You are pretty optimistic re the Sens young players who may well be good some day but today are just prospects who are totally unproven.  But you think all the Leafs young guys who have proven they can play will fade.   Not a chance!


Trump simply does not care.
"I am president, and to hell with all of you".


The political climate in Myanmar is very fragile. The military still rules the country and allows Suu Kyi to be in government at their pleasure. If she pushes too far she will be back under house arrest and the country will be under martial law again. Don't judge her too harshly she has already paid a high price to advance progress in Myanmar.


Some proof that there is no such thing as pay-to-play in the party of the wealthy ruling class, would be if Hillary and Bill were to keep being paid over 200k per speech by the likes of Goldman Sachs and UBS now that their political power/influence has be diminished.  If the market value of a Clinton's speech plummets now, then the pay-to-play conjecture can be reduced to a fact.  The same goes with the pay-to-play foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation.

Simply stated the problem with the Democratic Party's platform is/was: You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.  The Democratic Party has been having problems fooling folks lately.  Let's see if the Republicans can do a better job of fooling us!


How low can you go?

Elisa was and is still such an inspiring person. Without her bright light in this world so many more children would never even stand a chance with the sanfilippo diagnosis. Having been blessed to get to know the Linton family and watch Elisa grow up and inspire SO MANY people has been an honour for me. Every March/April , for over a decade, I have been humbled to be a part of the annual Sanfilippo Children's Research Foundation Gala and every year that we hosted one it got bigger and better and we raised more and more money for research. This year was especially hard since there was no gala, and there was no Elisa. I know she is still here, shining on all of us whose lives she touched and I am sure that her family feels her warmth in the darkest days. Elisa and her family are truly the most wonderful, caring, giving, and dedicated people I have ever been blessed to meet and my life would not be what it is now without their inspiration and love. Love & support to the Linton Family <3


It would be perhaps helpful to your readers to know who writes these interesting pieces, including paper it appeared in or will soon appear in.

And do you think posting a link dated 2009 referring to mortgage foreclosures in the Philly area proves .......? You do know we are talking med expenses, right?

I realize you are uniformed and haven't the slightest idea of U.S. law. Setting up an irrevocable trust is neither "easy" or cheap.  And if a court determines it was initiated to solve an immediate crises such as a looming foreclosure it can be nullified. You have to plan and make the proper arrangements far ahead of any catastrophe. So please - pedal your erroneous info elsewhere.


So now it's appropriate to ridicule an opponents physical disabilities? Classy.

There isn't any official document from Rome that states "It is impossible for a woman to be ordained a DEACON."  If you can find one, I will give $100 to your favorite charity.  It might as well be a Million Dollars because no such document exists.


They do, but those costs are harder to put a real number on.  The costs of incarceration are pretty easy.  ultimately I would prefer to find a way to rehab these folks so they aren't habitual offenders, rather than keep paying to put them in jail, over and over and over.


There's no question that this year's event was corrupted by Trump's boorishness. The question is, can it be dialed back in the future or is the genie permanently out of the bottle? I hope the dinner can be returned to what it used to be. Yes, the white-tie, fat-cat part of it is a little gross, but the bigger picture for me is that the event served as an important release valve for the body politic.

Historically, the Al Smith dinner came at a critical moment in the campaign. It was an evening for setting aside inflammatory political rhetoric and letting the candidates engage in good-natured ribbing, perhaps even a bit of self-deprecating humor. It was a reminder that, despite their political differences, both sides were, first and foremost, devoted to the good of the Republic.

That's a goal worth preserving, regardless of all the peripheral nonsense. I hope it can be recaptured. If not, that's just one more sad part of Donald Trump's political  legacy.


That's right, Clark, when you're feeling the wrath of public opinion change the subject and attack Hillary.  Whoot, whoot!


The great part about this is that the US is not part of it and will gradually be more and more isolated.  Another win for the failure President.!!!!!


So what would you call a person who supports and would vote for a serial liar, thief, conniving, hateful, dishonest, despicable, disgraceful, sexual predator enabler?


Well, he's dead, s saying it to his face is no longer an option. Also, how was this insulting in any way or form?


CA all but publicly invites illegals to vote.


I recall Obama, requesting input, action and decisions regarding the health care act. The republicans refused to assist, or support ANY part in the decision making process as he was trying to work to get health care accessible to the American people. If, this new revised health care is so great, than the politicians and their families involved in the repealing of this act should have the same health insurance coverage.


The overall declining audience for late-night talk shows.  Sure, Kimmel may be doing well compared to the others, but he is the best in a declining market, and he lags far behind the historical highs of Carson, Leno and Letterman.


Obamacare is the convenient whipping boy for everything that's wrong with the American health care system. Before Obamacare, the price of healthcare was skyrocketing. Its passage slowed the increase. Has Obamacare forced the drug manufactures to raise prices by enormous amounts? No. Has Obamacare forced employers to push ever more cost to employees? No. These things happened because our health care system, largely still in the hands of private companies, is totally broken. Not every insurer has pulled out of the exchanges. There are success stories where insurers  have strong networks and generally better understand providing healthcare for the sick as well as the healthy. The private insurers that pulled out had for years been cherry-picking members by denying anyone that has any health problems. They had never developed expertise that would even to allow them to correctly price their own Obamacare plans. The Medicare story is entirely different - now with record low cost growth.


" But Trump, who rarely admits he’s wrong(...)" Problem is , he's almost never wrong, and most likely he's not wrong on this one either. His critics have much, much more to apologize for.


" . . . it has to conform to international law and treaty."

No, it does  not.  Canada is a sovereign state, not subject to any "international laws," unless we choose to be so.  The Geneva Convention on the Refugee wrote the conventions and protocols currently in use in 1951.  A lot has changed since then, but we as Canadians are expected to be handcuffed in our ability to respond?

We need to set out made-in-Canada refugee and international transient laws that suit and protect Canada.  We owe no duty to anyone or to any other country that takes precedence over our duty to Canada and Canadians.


Interesting that you then must logically regard your average armed law enforcement officer and beat cop, as well as all the men and women of the U.S. armed forces, not to mention the vast majority of U.N. peacekeepers protecting refugees, as people who "live in fear."  I would also insist on regarding anyone who cannot recognize and properly use a common tool as both pathetic AND ignorant.

And pray tell, just what does your past employment as a paperboy have to do with the price of tea in China?  Why should we know or care?


For SPLC, a "hate group" is someone who holds views contrary to those of Morris Dees, Joseph J. Levin Jr. and their fellow fundraisers. Anyone who attributes any other authority to it is simply brainwashed.


Ah, feel that SUN. . .


Maybe; however, the only "swing"  he needed was those notices of layoff to State Employees.  Article 2, Section 17 of the State Constitution sets the time limits for the Governor to sign a bill or allow it to become law.  The Article speaks of 15 to 20 days depending on circumstances.  In any event the clock is ticking now since the appropriation law passed recently.  Apparently the Governor believes that he can somehow line item veto all the money for wages except for that next 30 days before the notices must be sent.  Political backlash notwithstanding, good luck with the logistics of that tactic just in the timing and having then to recall the legislature to appropriate the money back  that he vetoed. So then he hires an outsider for that ungodly amount of money while wanting all Alaskans to accept a 50% cut in these recently large dividend amounts.  Finally, he tips his hand by even talking about not wanting all his legislation this session. The Governor may have no "swing" left.


Was the same stock answer not given when he bailed out Bombardier who executives subsequently patted themselves on the back with bigger bonuses?


If indigenous visual artists don't want to be assimilated by mainstream culture, then I guess we should take their works out of galleries and return them to the anthropological museums where they can be displayed as artifacts.  As for the performing arts, perhaps First Nations performers should stick to pow wows and drum circles rather than mainstream theatre and dance companies – and pop bands like The Band, for that matter. Absurd? Yes, of course.


Old stock American - do you mean ojibway or African slave?


Yeh, the industry is really hurting. BP’s CEO got a 20% increase last year making his compensation package worth 19.6 million. I guess we are expected to help pay for that?


So you are in favor of the rich avoiding taxes that you and I have to pay. Smart! uh, but then again...


Government ownership of this program was one of the options looked at.  I am SO GLAD they decided not to go that route.  Government does not manage projects like this well.

Just a point of clarification – funding for equipment for Bikeshare Hawaii did not come from the government.


https://patriotpost.us/articles/51312

"We don’t need a citizenry made up of constitutional experts, but how can we expect voters to make informed decisions if they know next to nothing about our system of government or their rights under the Constitution? How can we as Americans ever hope to protect our cherished rights if we don’t even know what they are?

Rather than keeping an eye on those in power and making sure that they’re protecting our Constitution, we’re blind to what’s happening in the halls of whatever that branch is that makes laws. One of the consequences of our hyper-political mindset is that those who do know what’s in our Constitution often take advantage of the masses by proposing ideas that are clearly in violation of that same document."


Yes!   I notice too much people driving have their heads down....I suppose reading cell phones OR they've got them stuck to their ear.  I HATE cell phones.  I go shopping and folks are so busy on their phones they don't pay attention to where they are pushing their carts!

Hey CUE?  I'm reading a great book you might read and we can discuss: Democracy in Chains by Nancy MacLean.  SO excellent.  Take care.  Just came in from Eugene and man!  The air is horrific!  Take care everyone!  l2g


Well they pretend no one knows what they doing, keep with the lie and trate everyone else like morons ..


Lol, this is the same type of wishful thinking that got Trump elected in the first place. It's not an analysis, it's a wish. Trump will come out of this unscathed as he always does. He can pardon for any criminal charges/convictions. He's using the system the establishment set up better than they ever did.


Why does it need to be judged differently than the massacre of pigs, cows, chickens and many other animals.


Only 2 lead articles on government incompetence today. The bomb has shifted our focus back to the common enemy - well done, Mr Trump. And in the next act, President Trump will blow the....


" threat assessment " That is truly pathetic, even for Cory Gardner.


NAFTA is dead. Trump is playing us for chumps. And there is nothing any Canadian Prime Minister can do to prevent it, and nothing we can give up to avoid it.

And some of you really, really need to wake up.


The Republican Party cynically and deliberately embraced a strategy doomed by demographics. They serve their wealthiest supporters in using the politics of division to pit bigots, Christian fundamentalists, rural residents and the less-educated white working class and lower middle class against blacks, Hispanics, urban residents and the educated middle class and upper middle class.

If the GOP even has a soul to buy back, it's rancid. Time to spend a decade or two in the wilderness rebuilding a party fit for the 21st century.


Historians piece together what they can, and what they have found is that transgender people have existed for thousands of years, however they can. But if the word "transgender" and treatments for trans people won't exist for 1000 years, and there is no paper, how do you get a suicide note to confirm the reason someone committed suicide? You can't.

There is an assumption that because we can recognize medical conditions / differences better, they are somehow more prevalent. They aren't though -- they are just better recognized. Many transgender people know they are different but needed the Internet to learn what they could do about it, as there is a huge stigma against them.

And when I say brain bathed in testosterone, I am talking male levels -- voice dropping, hairy face, etc. If you're a woman and that was happening to you, it sounds like you would be more than a little uncomfortable. Otherwise, why would you transition? Or if you're comfortable looking like a man, why change?


Yeah, if you can get the food to the mouths that need it.  Didn't work too well in Syria.


you're a idiot, fucked up, shit faced liberal asshole!


The complete fools bit is what scares me each day I read the news.


Columnist Valpy has written a thoughtful, persuasive piece about the increasing disconnect between  political insiders and ordinary Canadians.

PM Trudeau may not be Stephen Hawkins on steroids but even he can read the polls and election results and discern he is swimming upstream in policy responses versus what the folks who actually pay the bulk of the bills actually want.

But while the PM is awake to current opinion and trends, much like his father he believes he can drag the people kicking and screaming toward his vision of Utopia, a vision that makes him uniquely Yesterday's Man  in terms of what first world citizens want in terms of economic growth, job creation,  trade, taxes, public finances, immigrants who will assimilate and contribute, security and national identity.

I am reminded of Walter Stewart`s Trudeau 1.0 bio "Shrug".  The chapter on "participatory democracy" was titled "I'll Hold The Bullhorn and You'll Listen".

The apple didn't fall far from the tree.

Pity.


It would purchase a whole lot of dead birds, an unsteady unreliable source of electricity, tons of toxic waste when the equipment is made and when it needs replaced.  The proof of it not working in Alaska is right there on Fire Island.


You might want to learn more about the wilderness act and why it came to be.  Of course, Mtn biking was not a form of recreation then, but even if it had been, it would not be consistent with wilderness.  You might want to learn more about silviculture too.  Selective thinning has failed to work time and again over the last 100+ years because it is not a panacea for all types of forest.  Designating more wilderness is not always the answer either, and, as you note, it restricts existing uses like some forms of recreation.  But do you Mtn bike in the proposed Crater Lake Wilderness?


The whole point of the senate is to not be elected so they are not under any pressure to pander to the public.


I’m sorry, but the APD is primarily concerned about job security, not facts.


Sean Elbert,

I'm sorry the mere presence of our flag and the tradition of singing the National Anthem hurts you so.

Why do you hate America joe?

Maybe you should move if it's so bad here?


How could we hear any good about Rep. Tulsi Gabbard's trip to Syria, with corporate media using it to smear her? Again she made it clear she went to see past the news we get, and look for ways to peace. She works on issues with bipartisan help and the committees listed in this article.  She communicates her work and progress via emails, social media, ad her website, for those who truly want to know how our Congresswoman is helping.  https://www.votetulsi.com/latest


Has a little ways to go yet, but yeah your spot on uhh that will not be a good thing if it heads up the canyon that direction- yikes!


In order to make money the state decides to sell dope.  In order to keep civility, the dope selling state now has to invest in regulatory measures to prevent societal collapse.

what, last remaining wild salmon run? really? what is that salmon run that runs up the copper river? are you saying that that is not a wild salmon run?

you are wrong, it will last year round when they getting fully developed. mining companies are not in the business of working part time. they will spend the money to develop the infrastructure necessary to mine all year, 24 hrs/day, 7 days/wk, 52 wks/yr. mines of this size do not play around. the only limiting factor that i can see will be energy, like the fort knox mine in fairbanks, they will be forced to utilize diesel equipment until they can get enough electricity to run electric, meaning smaller equipment. the big stuff is all electric. you are absolutely right one day they will be gone, but not in our lifetimes or our children's.

some mines build their own power plants so they don't have to buy the local power, they generate their own.

FYI, fire separation walls were always a basic requirement in high-rise buildings.  All openings in the designated fire separation wall has to be at a minimum one-hour fire rated including entry doors.  Installing security doors (louvered or screened) and propping open the fire-rated entry door negates its purpose as a fire barrier.


If cold is 10 c then fine start and go but if cold is -10c or worse then the guy is full of it. When ice cold meets red hot bad things can happen and we all don't have the luxury of idling along until the car warms enough to bolt down the freeway or on a  highway at high speeds. Even punching it out onto a city street with heavy rush hour traffic with an ice cold engine is asking for problems. Sorry bucko but your advice does not apply in all circumstances. Maybe you're one of those guys that is lollygagging along the freeway  at rush hour causing chaos with everyone zipping  around you because you're gently warming your engine while sipping your mocha chino.


Where are the sane? Where are the politicians urging summits among the nuclear nations to disarm from this madness? Americans seem to have become used to impending disasters...which are ignored and/or denied...like climate change. Of course there are those who welcome our destruction...like the Armageddonists who have another, unseen and invisible realm all cozy and ready for occupancy as their private and exclusive bomb shelter in the sky. But mainly, there is too much money in the military-industrial complex...which feeds on the fear spread by "statesmen" such as Sen. Dan Sullivan. The political parties have purged the sane from their ranks And the populace is so confused it can't figure out that our missile defense system likely couldn't even stop a sputtering North Korean missile...if North Korea were that stupid and crazy to lob a nuclear-tipped one our way. Sure, "It's the economy, stupid"...but with these larger (and therefore incomprehensible) disasters...no economy...


Could anyone picture Ontario ex-Liberal Premier Dalton McGuinty being appointed to a plum diplomat's job by PM Stephen Harper? Well, Harper appointed ex-BC Liberal Premier Gordon Campbell High Commissioner to the UK, a nice, cushy, prestigious diplomat's post. An  appointment that tells one all one really needs to know about the BC pseudo-Liberal Party: It had Tory Stephen Harper's approval as he viewed BC pseudo-Libs as allies of his Tory gov't.  Some "Liberals". Conservative wolves in Liberal sheep's clothing. Good riddance.


It is understandable and commendable to want to destroy the structure of the F.B.I.'s 2010 largest underage organized philantrophic slavery network convicted of the Mann Act along with Shriners Hospitals supplied captive children in over 192 lodges and shrines of all rites. Study New York Supreme Court Judge Till and the many investigations that uncovered over 36000 child rapes and ALL the identified rapists being protected by all levels of law enforcement.

Your numbers are wrong and you know it. No one believes you, no matter what you throw out.
More gun ownership corresponds with more gun murders across virtually every axis: among developed countries, among American states, among American towns and cities and when controlling for crime rates. And gun control legislation tends to reduce gun murders, according to a recent analysis of 130 studies from 10 countries.
This suggests that the guns themselves cause the violence.

except for the fact that jobs growth under trump has been lower than under Obama.


I bought my Vancouver home for 1.1 million in 2011. It's now "worth 1.7m". Convert that to USD and it's only about 1.2m, a gain of maybe 10% over 5 years (USD and CAD were approximately at par in 2011 when I bought). If I had put my money into S&P500 instead, I'd be much wealthier. (If I had bought with cash, it'd be worth about 3.2 million CAD, excluding dividends.) And I'm not even counting the property taxes, maintenance, mortgage interest, etc which would add up to essentially what I would have paid for rent.
