Photo choice for this article is spot on.


No, it's only bums.


So you know from your inside sources - FOR SURE - that the bomb was planted by a Syrian asylum seeker. You either are super-man or you recklessly spread false rumours.


Budgies? Nah.

Mocking birds! Parrots, perhaps? Vultures?


I suppose most Liberals are so used to lying about their real agenda, as evidenced by the numerous flip-flops that Liberals have employed, once securely elected with a majority, that it's understandable that they expect politicians from other parties to use the same lying, sneaky, deceptive and duplicitous standards when communicating with the public.

For what it's worth, I'm willing to give Scheer the benefit of the doubt on his promise not to reopen socially divisive debates on abortion or gay rights, as I've yet to see any evidence that he would betray his words to the public.  Harper kept the socially conservative wing of the party in tow for years.

Liberals, on the other hand, especially here in Ontario, have abused trust with the public on numerous occasions, so much so that the public has become trained not to trust a single word that they promise on the campaign trail.  One should remember that this doesn't necessarily mean that other politicians will be equally duplicitous.


This article is one of the reasons problems still exist.

1: the Vancouver market reached its peak in March 2016 the tax was implemented in August 2016, so the author is factually incorrect.
2: The Media as well as the government politicians are in the back pocket of the FIRE industry. Hugely reliant on advert $/political donations .(BC Libs,Global/post media are the worst offenders)
3: The "data" spewed forth by the RE boards is suspect at best and a complete fabrication at worst. Oversight of BCREA doesn't appear to include this important component in its mandate. Ontario currently has little oversight
4: CMHC (you me ) Is the risk holder for much of the lending
5: ZIRP (many purchasers have never seen "normalized rates") when they do UH OH
6:Speculation
7: The Harper Government goosed the markets the Libs are tinkering.

Reversion to the mean will be epic, never has a RE bubble been sustained and it wont this time


'
Trump mocked someone who was challenged,

…and his audience cheered him on.
.


Kap is a looooooser , never was nfl q.b. Talent, sell out on his beliefs  and now broke.  LOL !!!!!!  He made a mockery of himself .


The Courageous Bishops recognize that they can never say "mistakes were made" enough.  Fortunately, those charged by the Holy Spirit to teach morality now understand that maybe raping children is harmful to the victims.  Amazing how the Holy Spirit moves, so what was once unclear is now less unclear.


The title isn't too far from the Truth......


What a pathetic diatribe by Stephen Harper's former director of communications.

He claims it's in defence of religious tolerance but the only two quotes he can come up with don't even mention religion.

He calls Liberal assessments like: "somebody who has voted against every single civil rights advancement in the last 25 years" and "far-right social Conservatives" as "this kind of anti-Christian sneer."

To no great surprise, he then goes on to blow the familiar nativist dog-whistle: "you can get away with criticizing a Christian far more readily than you can for criticizing a Muslim."

Andrew Scheer might gain a few points by rapidly and publicly disavowing this kind of approach.


It's likely she only made the admission when she was offered the deal.  Unless they feel they have a very strong case, prosecutors will often take what they can.  In this case, the offer was probably that she plead to robbery in the first degree, a class a felony, in exchange for testimony against her codefendants.  Since that carries a mandatory open 20-year term, they likely said they would recommend release on parole after seven years, but the actual amount she serves before parole would still be determined by the parole board. They could make her serve closer to the full 20 years.


Recession when the stock market has been at all time high is an oxymoron.


The BC Liberals were moving BC closer to privatised health care and now is the time to stop that nonsense.


Thank you, Edgar Bergen Bannon.


I DO NOT AGREE AT ALL; the only and first project required is the construction of Energy East pipeline. There is not a Liberal in Atlantic Canada behind this (we elected 40 of them), nor east of Manitoba but "ENERGY EAST" is the highest priority infrastructure project in the Canadian discussion. It is equivalent to the seaway, railway it is essential, so all Canada has access to Canada Oil and unneeded Canada Oil is only exported at the world price (same for our natural gas). It is important to every Canadian, requires political will and leadership, the last two are totally missing. And do not bother with telling me about the NEB process, to me it is all code for doing nothing and a complete waste of time. It is like a business meeting where people say lets meet next week... and we all know what that means.. NEVER.


It seems racism is prevalent in your head


Really?  I get mailers from pro-life groups promoting the conservatives during every election, and have seen other similar ads from other groups before too.


This was exactly my thought on Charlottesville.  People are so anti Trump they deny the video evidence of antifa "protesters" physically assaulting with mace, pepper spray, clubs and punches.  These are the same people that rioted and destroyed property during prior protests.

A better approach would be to schedule the counter protest on a different day: ridicule the small group of racists marching and respond with a march 100x, 1000x, or 10,000x the size, but scheduled to prevent the group versus group violence.


Are you kidding me ?  When is the last time we had a major fire like this ?  When there is a major fire all units respond , as they should . that gives them more than enough to cover any emergency .  The simple fact is most of the time we don't need this many fire fighters .   There is no doubt our fire fighters do a good job and are there when we need them .  On the other hand . if they were so busy all the time they wouldn't have movie theaters in some stations and they wouldn't have time to use Municipal trucks and supplies to collect for the charities they choose to support .   It's perfectly clear from this story the fire fighters and their union have zero desire to cut the budget . If they won't help , then we need to cut the number of fire fighters. When the subject of wages comes up both the fire and police departments use fear as a tool to get what they want.  Just like our mayor---threatening taxpayers with the dishonest choice of choosing between plowing snow and police .


Sounds like you need to soak your head in a fresh bucket of deep ecology koolaide.


I see you have upset Alceste and his fellow travelers by having the temerity to resort to stating facts


This commenting system is an epic fail. I have it set to "Newest first" but what it shows is "highest rated." Reset to "Newest first" then refresh the page - it goes back to "highest rated"


Even though these tirades deserve to be ignored...

The book Ring of Hell by Matthew Randazzo does make reference of sort to possible mob ties on the part of the McMahons.  I wouldn't call it out of the realm of possibility simply on account of their historical base in the Northeast United States and the prevalance of the mob in many facets of business in that region.

Major media scrutiny of Linda McMahon's Senate campaigns shone light on her experiences working in the field of copyright law in the years before her husband started Titan Sports in the early 1980s.  Perhaps more than anything else, this is the key to their success.  They were able to navigate a changing landscape in the industry by pursuing that route while their competitors were still going after bread-and-butter business.  Sure, a lot of what they did was sleazy and possibly downright illegal, but most of the competitors they supposedly forced out of business would have fallen on their own accord.


The often stated adage of people moving to the Right as they age isn't actually true. People stay the same, and society moves to the left around them. Or, rather, people move to the left, but more slowly than society does.


Sorry son, I can see you're 20 ,but I can't sell you cigarettes because the LCBC has declared you're unable to make good decisions regarding your health until you're 21. Oh BTW, didn't you join the military just after HS graduation?

Nicotine is an addictive poison. It's derivatives are in certain insecticides. Perhaps the board with all its superior knowledge could endorse raising awareness about the roots of addiction and mental illness instead of a heavy handed, bass ackwards decision making possession of tobacco illegal to people under 21. Remember kids if you're 18 and defending our county you can kill and see friends killed, but you're not going to smoke that cigarette until you're an adult at 21.

I don't condone tobacco use...but I completely believe in one's right to choose.


I am starting to worry that it is not going to be cold too much longer. I have children, and grandkids. The left has nothing to steady them.


I encourage the Pilfering Governor to stop trying to force a new tax scheme down our throats.

The majority of Ordinary Alaskans do not want to be taxed so the Governor can give our $ to his special interest friends.

The majority of Ordinary Alaskans want our PFD returned from last year and our full PFD this year.


Well, it was looking like mutual admiration for a moment there... Trump and Kim are both pretty smart cookies, aren't they. Watching an historical moment in the making, truly amazing! It's like Hitler all over again.


Amazing how many heads one man can roam around rent free in.  Trump is this, Trump is that, all coerced by an establishment media manipulating emotions.  Funny, never once heard any of these geniuses discuss Obama's having banned certain Muslim groups at various times, the treatment of Cuban refugees at one point nor the fact something like 98% of the 'refugees' are Muslim while he actually turned back christian refugees.  Where is the 'honest' reporting on that? Does the left and their atheist cohorts despise christians to the point they are prepared to be subservient to Muslims?  Amazing.


Would appear Fukumoto was rewarded for switching parties.


And to think an ex-president told his followers to bring a gun to a knife fight.


Womanizers and sexists are not necessary the same thing.


Please forward the same comment to trump who hands out nicknames like a playground bully.


Well, no more or less than any other election.  There's ALWAYS an infinitesimal chance of any election being compromised, of course, so there's never 100% absolute certainty.  Maybe Obama didn't "really" win either.  Or Bush.  Or Clinton.

Kind of a silly suggestion on the whole though.


Ah, the battlecry of the Church defender!  Demand proof of the obvious, then debate the standards applied to the proof, then bicker about definitions.  The proof is in the open.  Point out the statement you claim is not supported.


The story says there is no charge to use the chargers=free fuel for the expensive cars and their well-off owners. No free fuel for a fixed income retiree and their 1982 Town Car.


What a smell of putrid hypocrisy permeates the airwaves of disgruntled liberal women afraid they may not be allowed to kill babies in their womb. Too bad it was not legal for their moms.


why could they not fight on the "front lines"?


Tari Cabot: Do I understand you right that a pelt is worth more than a crippled dog?


Their "forts" are still standing on Nimitz, by Lowes. Hopefully they get razed, very dangerous for pedestrians in that spot.


yep, that South Park episode was funny.......get off the plane and you're local


"They were not required to leave the foreign service but chose to retire or resign for personal reasons, the department said."

That statement says it all. I spent 20+ years working for the U.S. federal government and can guarantee they wouldn't walk away from a permanent slot because a new boss was elected. Re-entering the work pool with a good possibility a Burger King manager position is in their future is career killing  move. Trump may be a partial reason or final push but they were  ready to retire and collect their pensions. Those not eligible for retirement moved on to other government positions.


Actually reducing the divided will likely increase the severity of the recession more than an income tax. That's because with a PDF reduction, your taking money out of the pocket of every man woman and child in Alaska, whereas an income tax will affect fewer people. An income tax will also tax out of state workers, who don't receive a dividend.


Well, I spent one winter in Glasgow, Montana, which is just over the border from Williston ND, with drifts to the top of a three-story barracks and at 37 degrees below zero and a 15 mph wind for a week in 1964.

 Not sure how relevant that is, but that's an answer to your rhetorical question.

As far as those pipelines under the rivers, there are thousands of miles of them all over the Midwest,

 And then there are all those in Oregon, including the one that brings the gasoline from Portland down the valley to the tank farms over by the railroad tracks.

Here are the 16,000 miles of Oregon pipelines according to the Oregonian:

http://www.oregonlive.com/environment/index.ssf/2016/11/post_50.html#0

That oil is going to be moved as long as it makes money to do so.  Pipelines are the safest way to do it.

Not without risk; there is no such human endeavor.


I agree with you 100% that most of South Africans just want a prosperous country that provide opportunities to all South Africans.

But just remember that South Africans still vote along the racial lines and both blacks and whites are equally guilty of this. So the shift to voting the opposition will always be marginal, even if Zuma is working overtime to destroy the ANC.


Nothing in the article about what skills Ambrose brings? Serious question: what skills?


whatever dude, you lefty's got your blood


Pope Francis really is rather slick. Love his "hand-off" of Card. Burke and the recent posters.
However, the bold decisive, pivotal acknowledgement of the full peership of women and men "...in the church and in the world", continues to elude him.
"Working out the details" might take generations, but the church does not have generations to address the de facto acknowledgment and rational consequences.  The majority no longer agree that women's "otherness" is "lesser" but, increasingly as peers and, yes, competitors. Difference means accommodation, not exclusion.
The diminishing numbers who retain the "traditional" view are misogynists, rote followers and radical fundamentalists. Criminally, our church belongs to the "diminishing numbers".  As participants in the diminishing number, the church is a contributor to and facilitator of the supression of, violence against and the sexual abuse of women "...in the church and in the world".
"We" must extricate ourselves from that group.


Cheapness of sex is only one part of why men are backing out of the very bad bargain of being with today's women. When you add up the cost benefit analysis of marriage and recognize how women behave in our gynocentric society that treats men as pack animals it's not even remotely worth the cost.

I was married but just made the break early and before the arrival of kids. Marriages have a very high probability of a wife initiated divorce the longer they go.  Once divorced there is an even higher chance that as a man you will be stripped of assets you built, income you earn, your children and your dignity.  Bullet avoided.

Our laws, social norms and institutions are now designed to cater to women, remove their need for accountability, and treat men as cheap and disposable.

Men, stop living to make your woman happy. Live for yourself.

Build your character, become a better version of yourself, find your own purpose and go make it happen. Leave the world of women behind.

Go MGTOW


On the slave front Michelle, it was part of the Polynesian culture to enslave conquered peoples. The Masters and Servants Act of 1850 replaced the Kingdom's "Kauwa System" of serfdom. The word "kauwa" is Hawaiian for "slave-class." Their slave-class, called the "kauwa", were filled with those taken as prisoners of war or their children. The kauwa were identified with a tattoo mark around the eyes, or on the forehead.
They were indeed slaves, but also much more than that was that they were often used as human sacrifices at the luakini heiau when worshipping the gods.
For the average person Hawaii was anything but paradise.


Citation please.


This is true. I had thought it was ~70% nation-wide and I thought I had read that it was around 60% for the Lower Mainland, but in just checking it looks like it's about half for the region. Still a very large voting bloc!


The Trump administration is weighing putting the Energy Department's budget for its renewable energy and energy efficiency program on the chopping block with a proposal to slash it by 70 percent.

Idiocy.


I'm pretty sure it wasn't Hippocrates. He was more into medicine than journalism, fake or not.


Jaded did not post anything hateful. LFT. Jaded merely pointed out that you were supporting Don Richey, LFT. Many posters disagreed with Mr Richey's letter - Jaded is just one of them. Jaded is spot on with every post.


Karl Subban is a wise man. My favourite quote from him is: "Your kids might not do a good job listening to you but they will do a great job imitating you".


Dec 11, opinion.  If you don't call the nationwide drubbing democrats took this year from top to bottom across the country a landslide, I don't know what is. As far as the electoral college, still a matter of opinion, not a lie
Oct 10 sarcasm/ jest.  I mean really, come on this is all you have?
No wall?  Again a matter of opinion, you have no way of knowing
As far as the others, again really? These are the earth shattering lies?
Basically you came up with nothing but opinion and insignificant conversational miscues.
This is why you lost.  Your side lies about lying, along with everything else.


Scotland's  has the lowest life expectancy for men in Europe and that includes the poorer eastern European countries. Their life style  is appalling, some Supermarkets don't even stock fresh fruit and vegetables because there is no demand.  Having lived in Scotland for many years but originally from England I would have been delighted for them to separate.
As for the territorial waters,  not as much belongs to Scotland as they think. Follow the line of the  the land boundary up - as is the way its done- and it cuts through the territorial waters they think is all  theirs  when they look due east.  Also North Sea oil is rapidly running out and at $50  brings in  less than half the income compared to the time they voted not to separate.


That may be the origin of the term "anti-Semite", and its modern English usage,  however, it doesn't alter the reality that Arabs are  a Semitic people, and the irony of Israeli Jews and others applying the term to Arabs


To kill our economy in order to meet the goals of a non-binding treating being ignored by the biggest polluters is madness.


We live out in rural Lane County.  We have friends, do business and spend a lot of time enjoying Eugene.  I was impressed with the Guard's editorial this morning supporting the EWEB site.  I actually think the Council just might give the EWEB option a serious look.  ...'bout time.   regards, GAry


I would because I don't need or trust your Nanny Big Governments with labeling people for me.  Or keeping my family fake "safe" from them.


Seems like you forgot that trudeau recently approved a couple of the pipelines you all had a big erection over, plus you will get keystone.

So stop whining for once.


Maybe we can put a wolf buffer zone if the park puts in a moose buffer zone where we can hunt moose in the park.  Sounds like a fair trade to me.  Otherwise it's just us giving to the park with nothing in return.


Far from it! but most of us have a life! And it will take a certain number of comments before the usual bots, zombies and other allies kick in.
As I mentioned before the Comey testimony
"patience is a virtue"
either learned early or with advancing age.
LOL


Go around it any way you want, however if Americans are hit first, they would do exactly what Trump said. If let say, China was hit first they would do the same thing, as would Russia, in both cases the enemy here at least in the past was the U.S. Then we have Israel and Iran. Israel has never acknowledged that they have nuclear weapons, but it has always been assumed they have. The difference here is Israel will never allow it itself to be in a position to be hit first, and will take a pre emptive strike.


All Catholic bishops need to be held fully accountable for sexual abuse as well as for covering up sexual abuse.  Bishop Dupre was not held accountable, and should have been.  Sad.


Right!
Money is everything and when we have it then let's use it to dominate.
SLAPP those people down with lawyers and friendly, like minded, journalists.
I hear ya brother, power to the rich!
We won't be here in 30 years so who cares.
It's all about now.


Good grief !  Wouldn't you think all those college educated smart people hired by Delta Airlines knew that bumping Ann from her seat that SHE PAID FOR would be noticed ?  Oh, yeah, the GLOBALISTS that run Delta don't think conservative women that think for themselves should GET WHAT THEY PAY FOR.  Conservatvie women are 2nd class citizens in the New America.


The Americans are proposing silly ideas; what Canada is doing is making it clear that there is going to be a quid pro quo. If they want us to give up supply management, then they are going to have to give up "right to work". The gender and indigenous people matters are explicitly stated to be aspirational and non-binding, hence  both valueless and harmless.


Agree with Yellin. Please tell us what you think Trudeau should be doing? Intelligent people understand that Trump is a thin-skinned egomaniac and act accordingly to get what they want.


Legalized markets (unless they are overtaxed) always undermine black markets. Notice none of this black market weed was going to legalized states...

If you are interested, you should consider taking a basic economics course. There are several excellent community colleges in the front range that offer continuing adult education.


Here is the best part

You know the Syrian refugee program?

Well guess who is insuring the refugees 10K a month from the govt and the taxpayer?
Yup

So follow the money
Here is how this works
Refugee comes into Canada
Refugee with family gets 10K a month from the Feds (taxpayer)
Refugee, with other refugees use 10K a month as salary on black market mortgage sites and brokers
Brokers get commission, CMHC (Taxpayer) holds bag.
Refugees hope to flip house for quick profit.
All the while the feds are funding the housing bubbles in Vancouver and Toronto by immigration.
That is what is happening in Halifax.
They are pumping these deadbeats into the region with all this immigrant cash.
The developers bought off the politicians, politicians pump the feds, circle repeats.

This is why jug head wants them in.
I had coffee with one of these refugees who explained it.
If you are not postal you should be

Different angle:
The only U.S. brand to crack top 14 in Consumer Reports reliability rankings


Trump bashing, gotta admit.....he is "funny kine" and is earning every bit of the bash.


You should only tip on the portion of the bill before tax.  Tax is not a service or product provided by your server or the restaurant. Don't be a sucker.


No.  This is a moral and logical debate.  Murdering magnificent and defenceless creatures "for fun" is evil - and wiping out huge swathes of the food chain "for fun" is stupid, dangerous, and illogical.


The laziest and worst form of journalism in this country (aside from faux new lies) is the "both sides do it" false equivalency nonsense peddled by far too many in this country.


My point? It's pretty simple: Obama is the worst president ever. I think I made that clear.


Ohhh so you're not even a "partner" in the law firm you work for! LOL
Ok big shot associate, I'll let you get back to your sabbatical time off in fighting Trump! Don't forget to let us know when HitLIARy wins the election, we're all eagerly waiting for the election results! LOL


"Ontario’s plan: destroy jobs, save the planet"

----------

Actually, just the first.

Only delusional ideologues think the second is true.


There is a new, nearly miraculous device - the computer. It is hardly a bear to calculate taxes in Colorado. Tax rates for the 50 states would be a cinch. Local taxes are harder but no problem when it comes tax collection/distribution time either. It's not done by hand any more.


Most people read for the content of the article. Some people just want to keep a score.
Remember what the article was about? Krauthhammer is upset because we finally stood up to Netanyahu and his bullying tactics. Meanwhile, the world is collectively telling him to stop insulting humans with repression and land theft.


I have a cousin who is a PhD in physics and a climate researcher and he is a Republican and a conservative and he says many scientists are conservative-- particularly in physics, chemistry, and in climate change focused on "hard science" atmospheric, chemical, and ocean aspects of climate change and the modeling of these impacts (he jokes that the biologists are liberals). He feels that the evidence of climate change caused by human activity is too strong to deny and much of the climate change denial is based on ignorance. He suggests reading the following simple graphs that make the point: https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2015-whats-warming-the-world/


Farmers are struggling he says? It might be because the Conservatives sold the wheat board to Saudi Arabia.


I think the way "Rape Culture" is actually used is to describe all of society not just university campuses. You just hear/see it most often on campuses than in the real world. I agree campuses could bear the label of "Alcohol Culture" but then so could large parts of society.
I think it is could for women to take some self-defence courses. I do worry that TV and movies will cause them to believe that an average women can easily demolish a muscular man half again her weight. When I took a course I got the best piece of advice you could ever get - the first line of defense is running not fighting. After that I think women's biggest weakness in a fight is that most of us have never been punched for real and that first time it happens it shocks you so much you freeze. So practically the best advice I can give is: learn to run, learn to take a punch. And when you decide to run just leave your stuff behind - you can always get a new bag and new id.


Fine by me.  Way pass time to drain the oil swamp.  Bye, bye.


Bold move on Ige's part. He could be voted out of office because of this, but not by me. I'd like to see Congress follow his lead and raise the cap on Social Security to $250,000. Studies show this would create solvency for the next 50 years AND increase monthly average benefits by $65.00 that would help more low income senior citizens.


This will be hashed out in the high court. I know that this is not the end of it. Appeals are possible for a reason. However, I don't understand the way you frame your argument.
The judge is channelling the written law. The judge is not a supreme ruler, but he is an arbitor of the law.


No it does not.  This incident did not happen last week.


OK, I googled "George Soros dismantle the west".

Nothing.

So, please provide credible evidence.

She has had seven years to get her act together. Instead she just ignored US laws. Not a very good citizen or wannabe citizen.


Good luck with that given that the Libertarians and Greens were visualized and co-founded by the same person--my father--as public conveniences. In the US and most countries they work together on ballot access and many issues. I think they'll both be happy to improve by any amount and get into the debates.


It doesn't matter whether there was a lesser alternative or what he said about it. The couple certainly wasn't looking to buy generic cupcakes. Jack didn't serve them with their specific request because they are gay but he served others with the exact same request because they are hetero.  That is undisputed by the parties--there's no need for a red herring.  You may think it is important whether he sold alternative products but the Supreme Court doesn't.


The new pipe runs alongside the existing pipe laid down in the 1950's. What is the problem?


Finally somebody in the GOP with some BRASS to stand up to the buffoon sitting in the White House!


well since it is the lefties all but closing down free speech, he makes a point.


Can you identify the positions that have been added over the last 10 year rather than tossing out a number that tell us nothing.  It ridiculous to say cut back unless you know what you are intending to cut.
I have no doubts some of those increase are due to more miles of state roads, increases in requirements at the major airports maintained by DOT, and more people on probation.


I am not sure Trump worries so much about the taxpayer and about hiring American - otherwise he would not have his merchandise manufactured outside of this own MAGA!


This article is a puff piece. The blue Fox and Time out are alive and well. Both offer live music and limited "craft beers" The last of their kind in anchorage. If you chose to whine that live music is dead or your not getting paid enough then go out to a show that isn't at taproot. So much talent so little support.


"History is always written by the victors"
That may have been true back before everyone had cameras on their smartphone but Trump, like police departments around the US, discovered that saying lacks any truth.

"The campaign didn't end for [Obama] until 2014 when he finally gave up trying to do anything good."
Source?  I don't recall Obama running except for the year before his election and re-election.  Unless you are including his campaigning for other Democrats which is clearly a different situation from Trump who only campaigns for himself.


Mr. Mcdowall, Not at all clear to me how your suggestion differs much from what Francis Shelter, Bean's Cafe and APD's Community Service Patrols already provide.


These measures hurt the US in the long run. The mid terms will be unpleasant for the GOP.


I'm boycotting Trump Hotels.


Anything to draw attention away from your wrecking of our state, right, legislative Republicans?

LOOK OVER THERE, EVERYONE!! GAYS TRYIN' TO MARRY!!!


Agreed, but the process is usually triggered by a crime--a violation of a statute, federal or otherwise (that's why Ken Starr spent so much time on Whitewater, a legal matter in the State of Arkansas, so my citation is not "bogus").
But neither of us is going to move here, and it's lunchtime.  Signing off.


The sun is the ultimate factor. Without it there would be no climate, much less climate change, or Algore fairy tales.


"No country should therefore underestimate the power of the virus of nationalism to trigger a domino effect."

And there you have it folks. Nationalism is a "Virus" according to the unabashed globalists that are attempting to eliminate borders around the world in favor of the EU model where all nations will be considered "states" under the thumb of the bureaucrats in Brussels or New York.

Remember this when our government signs on to immigration treaties later this century that are designed to eliminate our sovereignty and take away our ability to control the flow of immigration across our own borders. We will be dictated to by the UN and other international bodies we didn't elect and told how many people Canada MUST accept according to "international law".


it goes BY the airport, not IN the airport the way BART does in SF or Sound Transit in Seattle.  Thank you SIDA....  We couldn't have it taking taxi fares now, could we...


Its time to turn parks into city and county run campgrounds....$10....a night per person...... And turn parks into low income housing......and tiny home spots for the homeless......the parks department cost the the county and the city over $12 million a year.......and that cost does not cover the cost of policing the parks.....for the  city and the country spend over $20 million a year arresting people in Eugene parks..


"I'm wondering why the worry level is so high now. What is different? No one can say"

I told you in summary what is different, and I gave you more than enough information to find out the details for yourself. I guess you're not interested in actually knowing?

Well if you are interested, google the following, and then read every link on the first page of search results. You're welcome.

Having the cash is great ... keeping or growing it is better. Here's my experience.

If you want a car, buy for the long run ... to keep your money.

I bought a one year old Honda Civic Coupe with 75 kms. at the dealer in 2009. I paid cash and I haggled ... remember YOU have the advantage and they will try every trick to get their price. Just show you don't care and are prepared to walk. They started at $23.500 and I got it for $20,000 ... had everything I wanted too and never a problem driving from Alaska to Key West over all kinds of roads.

Now that you have an economy car at a great price and high resale value proceed to the growth bit. At your age start buying dividend growth stocks. Over the past 30+ years that's what I did  Buy all of the following- CN Rail, TD Bank, Emera, Fortis, Canadian Utilities, Enbridge, Trans Canada, Telus, Power Corp, BCE, Brookfield Infrastructure, Canadian REIT. Reinvest the dividends, sit back and grow rich. It's slow to begin with but hang in there


It’s 2017....

Thank you for being you!

He's now rambling about the removal of Christopher Columbus statues, while Puerto Rico drinks raw sewage.  Way to focus on the real issues.  So much winning.


If there was ever a UCMJ case for capital punishment, this was it. Bergdahl not only avoided that, he also avoided prison time which, at a minimum,  should have been awarded, along with a reduction in rank to E1, forfeiture of all pay and a bad conduct discharge.


Just watch, the 1/3 black president will get caught up with Bill in Hilliary supporter Harvey Weinstein's scandal.

It might mean they're a cop. Lots of them wear masks when making a raid.


Any warm-blooded animal, including humans, can become infected by ingesting oocysts from contaminated food or water sources, or even by inhaling them in dry areas where they have become aerosolized.  But none of these other warm-blooded animals can shed more oocysts.  These oocysts are microscopic.  Many, many of them could fit under your fingernail.  You don't have to do around spooning cat poop into your mouth to become infected.  A simple swipe of your hand across your sweaty brow after gardening is all it takes.

Humans and animals can also become infected by eating the undercooked meat of infected animals.  But those infected meat animals became infected by ingesting oocysts shed by cats.  No matter how humans or animals become infected, the original source is always cats.


I was first one to get him I punched him very hard in the face pretty sure I broke his nose and then another man helped me hold him down I asked another person to hold him after a while because I was late for am appointment pretty sure he got his I would have liked to have hit him more but he went down I couldn't beleive he hit that woman in the face anyhow someone should have done something earlier


Loonie value is a good indicator of how the world really sees Canada under the leadership of Trudeau. And for those of you who think that a lower valued loonie improves the competitiveness of our manufacturing sector, any benefit is directly correlated to the massive drop in your earnings expressed in US $. At the end of the day, you really need to look at your salary / earnings and net worth expressed in US $.  Our standard of living is in fast decline mode.


What are his bigot supporters going to do now?  I know, start chanting, "Lock her up, lock her up!" lol


Sorry Eugene Mission.  I will send a cash donation right now.  $250 - done


Way to stay on topic there, hodad.


No Pebble.

Not ever.


there's that "thumping" noice JJ mentioned.................I don't advocate censorship at all.... post the entire Bible if you like.. give it your best "sales pitch".... However, I must be honest with you....I really tire of people telling others they are going to hell because they don't "believe."  Almost every religion has fundamentalists....extremists who, like you, cite their religion's "book" to show that those who don't "believe" as they do are damned.  I know...you will say they are "wrong" and you and your Christian beliefs are "right"  they will counter "no, you're wrong and they're right!!"  It's been going on for centuries and has included wars and millions of deaths.  but, no, I don't favor censorship.....have at it.   Gary Crum


Hey Rochdale .... wasn't it people like you who used to say that the NDP would never be elected in Alberta. How's that going for you these days.

If you think Howdy Doody will replace Justin then I have some bridges to sell you in NYC. With the economy doing well (Best in the G7), unemployment low, Canadians with more wealth than ever , Howdy Doody will be routed at the polls.

You can go Blah Blah Blah all you like but unless there is some sort of un-earthed economic disaster then the best you can hope for is 2023 and even then it's probably a pipe dream.

I love watching your kind mouthing off about whats going to happen while the whole time ignoring economic indicators and that people rarely change things when things are going good.

Maybe you can get down and pray for some disaster to strike cause that's about the only way Justin will lose in 2019.


What's the ruckus all about?  Benson fits right in with the bigots and racists that  blog on this website all the time.  Every time there's a news article about Alaska Natives, the racists mob comes out and these people know who they are.  Benson sounds like he can't find his backside with both hands sober.  Good for the Natives that didn't tip him.  He wouldn't have appreciated the tip anyway.  Boycott!


But you still have the issue that the testing company is paid by the Navy.  How do you know the sample taken is the sample tested?

It's the same reason athletes will often take a second sample of blood to confirm the test.

And it doesn't even have to be monkey business - a mistake could have occurred on the first test

This isn't a test to figure out why your tulips aren't growing.   Water is life - I personally would do a second test.  But again - that is me and I don't live in Admirals Cove


I see your definition and raise you two: Terrorist; noun: 1. a person, usually a member of a group, who uses or advocates terrorism. 2, a person who terrorizes or frightens others...When are we going to stop making excuses for these American Terrorist...#MAGA


Hard to imagine a person less committed to Canada than this fellow. Let him stay in Boston and wreck a few more companies there.


Hypocrisy is supporting somebody who attacks the freedom of the press daily.  Or preaching the violation of constitutional rights of groups of people while whining about your constitutional rights.

Hate will be met with hate.


"It is the prerogative of a nation to determine who is allowed in and whether residents of certain countries are restricted or excluded."

Colin Kaepernick did not randomly choose the time of his protest.

"'I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,' Kaepernick told NFL Media in an exclusive interview after the game." (full story here: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000691077/article/colin-kaepernick-explains-why-he-sat-during-national-anthem)

He was very deliberate in choosing the flag and the anthem to protest.


When you need to loose money, forever, and ever, just call Juneau. The Alaska Losers Klub, and their scientific fact that all the oil dollars wasted on barbecued pork, could have bought another study, to study the studies.

"In December 1982, the Storch Corp. of Vancouver, WA completed phase one of the construciton of Alaska's first and last grain export terminal, a 584,000-bushel concrete elevator in the Port of Valdez. Phase two, the construction of the shiploading system, was never started, and except for barley handled during the initial testing stages, the elevator was never used. In fact, this $10 million venture was a colossal failure..."

Barbecued Pork, without LNG. It's tough to have to pay for Don Young's pig roast.

Look Art. The guys parents left Libya because of Gaddafi. His parents wanted rid of Gaddafi. NATO got rid of Gaddafi.

So your hypothesis is that while the parents wanted rid of Gaddafi, they didn't really want rid of him. They returned to Libya on their own after Gaddafi was gone but didn't really want to return. Their son went to Libya and got training from an ISIS affiliate because he was upset NATO got rid of Gaddafi, even though he was happy Gaddafi was gone. How many more bends in your pretzel logic do you have to blame Britain?


Bingo - it's a two way street and sharper minds can play this game as well.  Demboski started this mess; others will finish it.


And pass the ammo.


Shawn, I'm pretty familiar with your district and every democrat that has represented your district has been replaced by a conservative in the last ten years.
The liberals have gone on to serve on the assembly and the school district. You will note, Anchorage property owners were hit with huge tax increases in 2017, and the district is 12-42 million in the red. FYI....


Praising Donald Trump requires true intestinal fortitude.


And you are fixated on charitable hospitals and other non-government run organizations, to provide medical care to the uninsured. It didn't work before, it won't work now. Those "charitable" hospitals simply shifted the cost to paying patients, by charging them higher prices.

Would you be willing to give up your coverage and rely on charity?
Doubtful.


......an $80.4 million budget item.  How in the hell does guaranteeing that buyers won't sell the horses for slaughter cost $10 million?  Govt spending at it's finest.....


Just another republican loser afraid to back his president.  Maybe hes planning a failed presidetial bid.  Swamp thing.  Just another swamp thing.  Maybe you're going democrat.


Maher Arar, 2007 settlement $10.5 million
Ivan Henry, 2016 wrongful conviction court order $8.1 million

You may be thinking of the scale of damages for negligence, etc.  Remedies for deliberate Charter violations are much more robust.


Scott: The Montreal Canadiens are not just any team. They are the greatest hockey team in history. They are the elite of the elite and the Cup should return there now.


No surprise that the panel on ethics is having difficulty finding qualified candidates. Ethics is in short supply in Hawaii, along with honesty and integrity.


When you spend decades stoking peoples insecurities, resentment and outrage, etc. ? I was thinking the article was about the republican party and how Trump was caused by them and instead, he begins talking about the democratic party. Granted, not everyone in the democratic party, just almost every democrat in power at the present time. The republican party is still the grand old party of Lincoln. The problem is that as democrats have moved further and further to the left, republicans have told us that they will stop the creep to the left and after every election, our leaders do nothing to actually stop this leftward creep. In 2014, almost every senator and representative ran on stopping Obama and repealing the ACA. When they did not even try, many of us got angry, and now they will be dealing with Trump. That is the plain and simple truth. No journey to the dark side, unlike the democrats with their choice of Hillary. Now that is the dark side.


The real truth about all this outrage from the Democrat Left is,  these are all the actions they wanted to do to Obama and Hillary but did not do because of their own Politically Correct brain washed minds.
All these investigations were quashed during Obama Hillary era because everyone knew Hillary and Obama were colluding with foreign governments, were accepting bribes from Russia, were committing treason against America!
This is part and parcel of how Democrats work.  Lies, Deceiving, delaying, hiding, destroying evidence.  It is more proof Democrats are evil.  Democrats are led by Satan.
Democrats act at the same Evil level as Islam.


So you see two black men and not two men? What if the shooter was white, here we have no Black Lives Matter I see.


"Trying to justify or defend that set of positions is absurd Sans and you know it. You even say so in your 4th paragraph."
I did not try to justify or defend any "set of positions" anywhere in my post. Let's look at the important part again again:
"With that said, I agree the shop that sold the guns should not be liable in any way, nor should their employees feel guilty. They sold the weapon in full compliance of all applicable laws, so how a buyer uses it isn't their fault."
Let's also look at the paragraph that seems to upset you:
"For the record, I'm not a Democrat or a liberal or a gun-grabber, and I support gun ownership, but I'm not willing to listen or read any strawman nonsense.
What's wrong with that? I did not call for, or advocate, any new gun regulations. You propped up a strawman and I knocked it down, just like I've done here.


"It’s the Obama administration that was responsible for doing absolutely nothing from August to January with the knowledge that Russia was hacking into our election. They did absolutely nothing."

Can't deny those facts.

The collusion thing is another political Hail Mary to cover for the complete and total collapse of the Hillary White House run. Obama and the DNC dropped a few balls, and that's that.


When mental health care was deinstitutionalized some the savings were not invested in necessary community care costs.


This side of the island needs an alternate route to go in and out, one that is not for emergency use only. The traffic there will continue to grow and the highway will deteriorate at a faster rate. Building an upper level maybe, like H1 over Nimitz....


Again, I don't care where Kap makes his bed and sleeps.  Just pointing out the holes in your argument.  Go back and read what happened during that time as you are having selective memory.

Elway and the Broncos wanted to Kap to take a pay cut.  He was getting paid that season about $16 Million in San Fran.  Elway wanted him to take a pay cut closer to $9 or $10 Million.  Since he already had a contract with SF that would pay him $16 Million, Kap refused.

Just like Brock refused to take a lower pay with Denver.  In fact Brock made it personal because he got benched by Denver in the playoffs for Peyton.  His feelings were hurt as was documented in several articles.  Kap just made it a financial issue.   Brock is getting paid $16 Million this season. Denver is only paying $750,000 out of that.  And we have no idea what Kap would accept right now as far as salary.  No team wants to offer him even the basic contract which is fine with me.  As he made his bed by getting political.


Berlin Wall.


They are the check and balance that protect against the "tyranny of the majority" Referendums aren't always the best way to write good law...

I don't think this law would get a whole lot of use...but there are going to  be bad cases where parental notification could be a problem....


Yep. The water pipe needs to go. So sketchy!


How would an expert linguist do that?  Using a computer or mobile device most of the text would be spell checked and corrected.  Also there is no specific traits to typed text especially such short pieces of text.  People don't tweet like they talk at all.  Anyone can go on Twitter and sound like a Trump.


I was not referring to the parents of IB and AP students in my earlier message. I was referring to parents, or residents for that matter, who criticize remotely.


I still hear people refer sarah palin as governor palin even tho she resigned the office...this articles smacks of haterism and a bit of racism. All the white guys who were president are still called that yet the black guy has to be questioned.


If I was to find a 100 lb. 17-foot python slithering around.
It sounds like a solid case of D.L.P. in Alaska.
And it would soon be terminated, with a 12ga.!


there was an article in the Globe saying the Americans wouldn't shoot down a missile heading towards Canada.
is Canada not on board with the US missile shield.


Yes, indeed, we are laughing at you whazzy. :-D


Some white man talking about racist and he doesn't have a clue.  Hopefully you will read these citations and educate yourself.  The prime factor to learn is people of colour and marginalized communities cannot be racist.  By definition.

You should not change lanes merely because of merging traffic.
Change leftward only to pass and only if you are not disrupting drivers in the lane you want to enter.


For those people who either have to or choose to rely on RTD as their primary means of getting around the region, there will never, ever be "enough" service. In a "perfect" world, a bus would pass a bus stop every 5 minutes, and another bus would be waiting at every connection point. Bus stops would be within a block or two of every resident and every business. Should we strive for better? Absolutely! But the only ways to have "perfect" are a) increase RTD's funding by tenfold (or more), b) have RTD invest in and subsidize small, autonomous vehicles, or c) do like most people, and buy or lease your own vehicle. Bottom line, and pardon the pun, there truly is no free ride. Transportation costs money. The ONLY question is how much and in what form should taxpayers subsidize any system or individual? Highways, streets, buses, rail lines & bike lanes are all subsidized by taxes, and the only choices are how much (more?) in taxes should be dedicated to moving people, and in what form(s)?


What are you talking about?


Google the recent article in the National Post "Universities should make people think, not spare them from discomfort"

It is about how the left has attempted to restrict dialogue so narrowly that free speech is almost impossible.

To quote:

"If you can’t speak freely, you’ll quickly lose the ability to think clearly. Your ideas will be built on a pile of assumptions you’ve never examined for yourself and may thus be unable to defend from radical challenges."

A perfect description of the intellectual "cul de sac" that results in shallow, thoughtless articles like this one.   The author is quite justifiably being taken to the cleaners in this blog.


Good news!  Justin just hired a guy (at your expense) to help him figure out when "immediately" will happen!

He's the 4th person hired to do Justins job. This latest addition was hired to help Justin figure out how to keep a promise!  He's a "deliverology guru".  That title also sounds like he's good at mixing you a martini while he simultaneously fleeces the taxpayer for $200,000.

It's 2016. Justin is also having the dictionary rewritten to better align with gender neutral and liberal friendly definitions.

"Immediately" is looking like it will fit somewhere between "fat chance" and "elections over sucker, you really fell for it?"


75% of the National Debt

was put there by Mulroney and Harper.

Harper was an execrable fiscal manager, with dismal results across the board, from balance of trade to GDP growth. On objective measures, the worst PM in 65 years.


As a millennial I have the utmost confidence in our detached home-owning boomer politicians to right this situation in short order. My cohorts, don't feel sold down the river yet!


I noticed that too haha too damn funny! Newspeak at its best


Or it could be "Yes, it was a dangerous mission, but your husband volunteered for it. He knew what he signed up for."

 Seriously, I think that the biggest beefs with the military deaths pretty much forever was the situation when the soldiers were kept in the dark about what's going on or what they are signing up for.


"And remember, our principles, including those surrounding race, are only those that before the French Revolution, every well-born person considered sane and normal."

Which principles from before the revolution?  Louis, the state that's him?  A society consists of kings, nobles, and peasants?


Obviously, you did not read the article


Years ago  I said that it would be a deadly idea to Overthrow U.S. Ally President Gaddaffi of Libya  a U.S. Ally since 2006, that would result in the Unnecessary Deaths of U.S..  Just like I said that it was really stupid to Overthrow U.S. Ally President Saddam Hussein of Iraq, after my involvements with U.S. Ally Iraq since the Iran Iraq Wars (U.S. Ally President Saddam Hussein of Iraq was the only Counterbalance to the U.S.S.R. Ally Muslim Nation of Iran.).

President Bush's Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Delegation when to Libya to Negotiate a U.S. Alliance Agreement, President Gaddaffi must have his Libyan Military "Aggressively Fight Muslim Terrorists", would keep the Muslims stuck fighting only at Libya, stabilizing the Entire Continent of Africa.

For many Years before the 2009 Creation of U.S. AFRICOM, we were redeployed from other Nations  to the African Nations.   After the Creation of U.S. AFRICOM we were still Redeployed to U.S. AFRICOM Operations.


Yes but in other countries the top judges are vetted in public. Here they are considered to delicate to undergo that kind of examination.


3.  Rather than engaging the alt-reich, the Church must stand up to this hatred.  I really believe the alt-reich should be declared un-Catholic by the Church like Action Francaise was and leaders associated with it like the Le Pens and Bannon should be excommunicated.  This hate is unacceptable and must be nipped in the bud.

At the same time the Church has to build up some sort of alternative to the scapegoating for the "Lost Boys" attracted to the alt-reich or ISIS or another form of extremism.  Institutions like religion are the only thing that can counter this and we certainly need some authentic ones now given how badly bruised are current ones are.  But it must be an authentic religious community where all are welcome, not the sex-obsessed American Catholic Church that is too wedded to money and power.


Oki's biggest mistake was not stealing $40 million.


I fail to see how waiving the GET for sprinkler installation is a bailout.


Keep telling yourself that.


Did the microphone work for the anthem? HAHAHA!


Kinda funny, that there has been no follow up reporting on this.


America's flag gets honored when America deserves to be honored.  As America has elected this thoroughly vile, putrid pig as its head of government and its representative in the world, neither it nor its flag deserve respect right now.


Trudeau made great promises for change.  Trudeau, single handed,  has removed (along with 28 other campaign promises) the most important promise of change in his election platform - the right of Canadian's to have their vote count...claiming he alone knew what was best for 35 million people.  Politicians must be held accountable for campaign promises - if not, such promises are simply lies.  Both Trump's and Trudeau's promises were carried by the weight of their votes and whether or not Trump can achieve his campaign promises, he is at least going to try.


Why, are you a shrink too,  Rowman? ...or just an actress/waitress that never made it, and ultimately lingered in university for so long that she ended up as a PhD specialized in a weird California pseudoscience called "feminism"?  ...unreal!


A dense naracisstic leader who puts his own interests and agenda ahead of the wants and needs of the people he is supposed to be serving?  I fail to see the comparison lol.
The reality is Caldwell won the same trump did.  A lack of viable options otherwise.  So you can try to blame the voters which they you should but don't forget it is not like they had good options to pick from.


No evidence? How do you fake a GDP? BC's economy is the envy of every province in Canada and Horgan is going to give fat wage hikes for his union buddies as he spends like a drunken sailor after 16 years of fiscal prudence - BC has the strongest economy and strongest balance sheet in the country - that's a fact. And Horgan's going to make greater Vancouver "affordable" - because it's not like new the 300,000 annual intake of new immigrants are moving to Toronto and Vancouver and it's not like permanent residency requirements just got easier.  Horgan siding with US-funded protesters threatening violence at Kinder Morgan instead of working families in Alberta struggling to support their families.


Same way you target massive schools of second run reds - by taking a look a the OTF and going just up inlet where the numbers were taken.  There was a Coho OTF that identified a huge school of coho.  Two days later ADF&G commfish put the fleet on the school which was outside the corridors.  Interesting timing, that.

Here's the fun question:  Given that we have at least 4 stocked silver runs in UCI (Ship, Bird, Campbell & Eklutna), how many of those fish were stocked silvers?  Cheers -


Why do you not like the fact that the cabinet cannot be bribed!
Are you a lobbyist?


Another example of the current governing system instigated by the Republican Terrorist Traitor party led by Der Fuehrer Trump and his merry band of billionaire implants:  Kakistocracy - Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens.  All dedicated to the care and preservation of the billionaire elite at the expense of all other less worthy individuals in the society.  No service or benefit is to be allowed for anyone deemed unworthy by the racist bigots of the leaders of the Kakistocracy.  Welcome to the return to the 19th Century.


I suppose one might include the brutal U.S. invasion of Panama (1990).


Keep electing oil company shills -- if not actual employees -- and keep wondering why it has all gone so wrong. What's that line about the definition of insanity? And yet the votes fail to change it, cycle after cycle. Incredible.


At least the Conservatives and NDP investigate these types of allegations; the Liberals don't.

Why do you think you have any idea what "most Canadians" think? I have a big problem with Leitch's nonsense. The so-called "values test" is nothing more than a smokescreen for bigotry. I'm pretty sure that many Canadians (if not "most") see this very clearly.


Just like Hanabusa, always looking for the next higher step.


wonderful article.


"Screw da kids!  Save ar jobs!"    Please tell me that these protesters only concern is for the children and not just losing union control over a government monopoly.  In the private sector, these teachers would have to compete, improve, grow or be replaced.   We cannot let that happen to this protected class.

I'm getting used to these protests and they are getting boring.  It may be time to bring in the black masks and fire throwers again.


The party of obstruction, the corrupt Democrat Party, object to a jurist with the qualifications of Judge Gorsuch purely on political grounds. He will be confirmed, but they still insist on obstructing his nominee.  Did the GOP obstruct Obama's Nominee Sonia Sotomayor?  The Supreme Court needs someone to replace the late Judge Antonin Scalia, Neil Gorsuch makes sense, so the Democrats have a right to express their reservations, but now is the time to go to work and vote him in.


You are making quite a few assumptions about me. First, you seem to think I am a Christian. I'm not, just a student of history, society and religion.

Second, Atwood is talking about whole totalitarian societies, not small extremist sects, and in modern times, e.g. Saudi Arabia, not in Old Testament times. Most of the world was polygamous originally, and of course that includes ancient Jews.

Not only am I not ignorant about the history of monogamy, I made similar comments here myself many times. It actually came from the Greeks, which the Romans imitated, and we inherited it through the Roman Empire.

The Jews adopted it because they were part of the Roman Empire. Once adopted over 2000 years ago though, it became the norm in both religions, and the theology developed accordingly.

Meanwhile, Islam reduced the number of allowed wives from infinite to "just four", that was an improvement for women, but they stuck to 4, but men could have harems of non-wives.


It will be interesting to see if Nguyen and Shiraishi flip and agree to testify against Chief Kealoha in exchange for a lesser sentence and how many of the other officers who received target letters  will turn government witness in order to save their own necks....stay tuned as this case unfolds or more likely unravels for the Kealoha’s.......


More political grandstanding! Move along nothing to see here!


What did you think would happen? Trump would be elected and everyone would get a coke and a smile? The economy will probably tank and Trump and his cronies will blame everyone except themselves.


Don't forget Palolo Stream. There is a lot of trash coming down to the Ala Wai!


Most of them turned into terrorists, didn't they?


You may find that getting rid of Obamacare (mistyping the name makes you look petty) has an unfavorable effect on your premiums, but we'll see.


You had me up until "Christian society."

Canada is a secular state.


My point is that every time I see the media on TV, it's talking heads discussing issues or writing about issues that don't matter.  No one is clarifying:  What kind of a wall, what will it look like, will the present good fence be replaced or will you fill the gaps first.  Maybe we will get some answers from the Administration, tasked with designing and building the wall.  Instead it's journalists speculating with one another about why the President's objectives can't or wont be allowed by some happening out of fiction.  Lets get some facts and stick to reality.


Looking back into antiquity and rating bygone empires with today's goggles I would much prefer British rule to Roman or most any other empirial dominion.


Nonsense.  Give your false opinions to another Protestant.  This is a Catholic website.


tsk tsk tsk! tulsi tulsi tulsi!  why sista?

This is a very misleading study.  The definition of sexual misconduct includes every day talk.  A dirty joke, a complement taken the wrong way, or a comment that was heard wrong are all things that could be taken as sexual misconduct.  Both the study and this report make it sound as if 1 in 9 people get raped at school.


“The government intends to pay its debts and the debt ceiling will be raised.”  Is it just me, or is that the most scariest statement ever made?  At what point, do investors/credit rating agencies start waving red flags?


And that other tinfoil eater...lol


Doubling down on a rationalization with another one is not the truth, it's merely ignoring it twice because, well, you can't help it. Facts of omission: ran away, told no one. As for your so-called topic, the first casualty of war is truth, so that explains your contention that killing in war is murder. That's why the turnstiles inside The Hague never stop spinning.
Guns, when mishandled, can produce nasty, undesirable outcomes. We can all agree on that, correct? However, because we have no evidence that motley has ever shot anyone, his use of "My gun has killed fewer people than Ted Kennedy's car" is factual, too, despite your provocative protestations. Just ask Volkswagen.

THE QUAGMIRE HAS ALREADY BEEN CREATED BY HILLARY AND OBAMA AND KERRY. What Mr. Trump will do is beyond the comprehension of MSM who contemplate these issues with their Starbucks skinny latte.

Trump has real military people in charge of these matters and these are people who think a lot differently from the MSM scribe. You may be surprised at problems get solved when you have a government in charge that knows how to solve problems and even more .... that WANT to solve the problems.


CAN'T IMAGINE MY LIFE WITHOUT HER!!!

Good for you.

What is the CBC's larger agenda? My opinion is that it is currently very Conservative given the Board membership and the effect that it has had on the editorial policies.


I don't understand why, with your always incisive analysis, you're not on their staff, or, at the very least have a fat consulting contract?


Lawyers (and judges who are former lawyers) have a vested interest in keeping our revolving door justice system.  It is a never ending stream of clientele and money for them.

Harsh punishments that keep people behind bars and prevent re-offending harms their vested interests and only helps protect innocent civilians... which is always an afterthought of our system.

Job number one is seeing how quick we can get these criminals back on the street.  Bail, two-for-1 credit, 3-for-1 credit, ignoring mandatory minimum sentences, parole after 8 years for supposed life sentences.

The system is literally a joke.  If it was your loves one who was beaten, raped, or murdered would you want them back on the street quick in the hopes they have magically turned over a new leaf and gotten a new moral compass.

I read a ridiculous article last week criticizing the government for not spending enough money on food for the prisoners.  Apparently they too good for powdered milk and only AA cut beef.


Is Christianity, Hinduism and Judaism, tolerant and non-authoritarian?


Captain, another of your insightful and well expressed observations. IMHO your experience as a police officer gives you a valuable understanding of human nature. Thank you for taking the time and energy to share your thoughts here and in your other comments.


He should have no visitation with children, not just "no unsupervised visitation"


Good point.  Also, I have thought why doesn't each media outlet only mention the terrorist or killer's name once after follow up stories only refer to the event.  An example, the deranged Sandy Hook killer's name was mentioned numerous times.


Good.


Which part?

Re: people wanting to come - see the H1B program or visa requests.

This newspaper is very consistent at labeling all who come to America as immigrants and making no distinction between those who follow the law or who don't.


If you feed your plants, trees & shrubs composted Bull Manure, it makes them healthier & more resistant to the  Global Warming insect invasion that is on its way...


You can't make that claim when you leap to conclusions about cases based on conjecture in the media well before the investigation is over.


Obama has finally lost the plot.


I really, really wonder what would constitute sufficient evidence for the CMA. It appears to me that, having been forced to give up on Reefer Madness, the CMA has locked itself into this "insufficient evidence" position and is not even bothering to examine the evidence any more.


Who are the doctor(s) that prescribed all this stuff?


You overlook the massive blunder by Marks and attack the Governor who has consistently been correct about the gas line?  No bias there, huh chairman.

Wasn't it the Governor who vetoed (reduced) the spending of the incompetent legislature?  Yeah, thought so.


While the house is on fire this minister is discussing how to rearrange the furniture.


We don't have a democracy. That is mob rule. We have a republic, which protects the rights of minorities.


I wanna know.


I did not know name calling was allowed on here. I also did not know we were limited as to what log in name we choose. Wavermaker has accomplished his goal already! Kinda comical the way people react. This is just a comments section in a liberal newspaper, calm dowm and worry about the important things, unless of course, this is all you have....sad then.


There was no direct confrontation between US forces and Russian military in either Korea or South Vietnam.

Relevance counts.


All Canadians are losers to mass immigration.  From income to housing to culture, Canadians lose through mass immigration.


"Trump has on a number of occasions very clearly obstructed justice."

And you know that sitting in Newfoundland.


is this an ad for the Falun Gong cult?


I agree.  Though, in all fairness, that was a really big selling point for Trump during the election, wipe out everything President Obama and the Dems did.


Exactly what I've been trying to tell people but there's a certain segment of the population who are brainwashed to think crime is out of control because of what they see on the first 10 minutes of the evening news. Or the front page of the newspaper. It's no use arguing with people who don't use facts in their argument.


Do you understand the concept of "opening a door"?

It was the pacifist Eileen Egan who first coined the term "seamless garment" to challenge those members of the pro-life movement in favour of capital punishment. It now covers issues of migration, arms control, war, poverty, global warming and the environment. A Catholic can rightly exercise prudential judgement on these issues but_not_on_ abortion. Progressive modernists do justify abortion because the world is not as it should be and claim Catholics in America who vote Republican are not really *pro-life* because of this.


In 2019


So true.  Does he even know there are French Canadians outside Québec?


Christie has the political instincts of a rock. Hard to believe that he was once touted as the next great Republican hope.


Unfortunately, most of the rail systems operating today face enormous costs for unfunded maintenance backlogs. In addition, most systems are experiencing declines in ridership. I know of no city where criticisms of rail systems go away once it is built. Fixed guide way transportation systems have limited scope, in that it serves a narrow corridor of customers. It is not a question of what would happen if nothing is done, the question is, "Is there a better way to relieve congestion?" The answer is, yes. Bus Rapid Transit was among the alternatives to rail. Busses go almost everywhere and can run with much tighter headways than trains,  thereby, moving more passengers at a much lower cost per passenger mile. Train systems are incredibly costly to build, operate and maintain. "That Vision Thing" is going to costs us far more than building this thing.

We have a history of illegal immigration in this country as well.  WOP, a disparaging term for Italians stood for Without Papers, basically they were illegals as well.


Or maybe we don't want to handle the truth or just someday we recognize why many people dying for bullying others.
And some others not even to talk about it.


Look, I am a devotee of Dr. David L. Schindler, one of the foremost theological critics of the American conception of the human person, politics, the state, religion, economics, just about everything you can think of. I have NO issue at all with critiquing the parts of American Catholicism which ally themselves to a value-voters, pro-free market, pro-American democracy for all worldview.

Nevertheless, the Spadaro-Figueroa article sweeps literally every American Catholic who does not align themselves exclusively with Francis' view of the Church and the world in the same dustbin. It's wildly off the mark.

Reality check: Pope Francis and the folks condemned by the Civilta article are TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN. As much as they want to claim that Francis seeks to disentangle "spirituality" from civil affairs, his actions do not line up. He uses the papacy as a political bully pulpit. Lest we forget the influence held by Card. Parolin nowadays in Rome. Premier Catholic political office.


"Advocates say those services would be cut in the latest rendition of the Senate health care bill."
The "advocates" will say whatever suits their agenda, but are they saying the truth?
They got their 15 minutes of fame, complete with photos, courtesy of the DP.  Happy now?


Hats off to Sens in finding a way to win and push this series to a seventh game. Despite the fact Pens had the better scoring chances, they simply couldn't close the deal and let Ottawa hang around too long, then the inevitable happened: Sens hit on two goals and Pens only  mustered for one. After a blow-out, stuff like this usually happens. Lets hope for a good one, Thursday night?


So you are saying Joe Miller is a Socialist? How about Bill  Allen? Sarah?
I believe you are.


or Pearl Harbor


Siemian's not good. Not even close. And the sooner the Broncos figure that out, the better. And no, that actually DOESN'T mean that I hate him and/or don't wish that he'd play better.
The throw BEFORE the (first)pick was worse than the throw on the pick. DT was double covered, bracketed over and under, and he shouldn't have gone to him on the pick, but DT also gave up on the rout, or it MIGHT have been a completion.
But the play before we FINALLY had Charles out in the open field, COMPLETELY by himself, and Trevor crapped his pants because there was pressure about five yards away and closing.
This defense, and our OK running game is going to be wasted if there isn't a drastic change in our QB play.
He'd be an ok BACKUP. And he seems like a GREAT guy and teammate.
SERIOUSLY?! He just threw the pick six.
Can people PLEASE quit pretending that he's a good, maybe ELITE, NFL QB, & that anyone who has an objective & accurate opinion of him either hates him, or secretly hates the Broncos?!


Typical left-wing rhetoric from The Denver Pravda!


Even some large tech companies with HR departs have a "frat house" environment... and it's intentional! They setup open-concept offices with billiards tables and host pub crawls after work, all in an effort to make work "fun". But it backfires. Not only is the "frat house" environment a problem for many women, many men leave once they "grow up". Consider these facts about Google: the median employee leaves the company after only 1 year, and the median employee age is in their 20s. Google is not unique in those statistics.

Personally, when I graduated I thought cubicles were "lame" and so I worked at a "fast and loose" startup. But the novelty quickly lost it's luster, and I grew to appreciate the professionalism and steady hours of a traditional work environment as my personal life and family life developed outside of work.


thats a lib for you, all is lost, government is the answer, man what an ignorant loser you are, anything can come back with the right set of policies


Not only robbery but also assault as well......


Homeless for three years while living on federal land in a miners cabin, I had no plumbing, sewer, or electricity. I kept my site clean, worked odd jobs, and had no free meals, medical care, or urban housing. I didn't loiter, panhandle, or harass, women in downtown. I didn't break into cars, homes, steal mail, deal drugs, rob, or murder. I have friends who are "homeless" and live to the same standard.

There is good reason why many who work all day and invest in community are reluctant to have camps in their neighborhoods.

Three days after release from jail a prior convicted transient murders a woman in her home. This murder last year and two recent murders by "homeless" or "transient" people in Eugene are  well-justified reasons many citizens resist "homeless" camps in their neighborhoods.

Crime and violence increase.

Not all homeless people are violent or criminal. However a disproportionate number of them are when compared to Eugene's population. It's why many are "homeless".


I remember Harper being criticized for trying to change his image by wearing a blue sweater.

For once I think he should keep twitting.  It expresses his true feeling, stupid or not.  It expose who trump really is.


It is my experience that Americans often don't know history. When I was a graduate student, I taught an undergraduate course in the history of religion in Europe, and pointed out the parallels between the killing of Stanislaw Szczepanowski, Bishop of Krakow, by Boleslaw of Poland and the killing of Thomas Becket a century later. I said that history can repeat itself. A student said, "Once as tragedy and once as farce." I asked if he knew the source, and he didn't, nor did anyone else. So I gave them the opening lines of Karl Marx's "The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon", "Hegel says somewhere that history tends to repeat itself. He forgot to add, once as tragedy and the second time as farce."

I wasn't surprised that no one knew the meaning of "Brumaire" (a month in the French revolutionary calendar) or about the coup d'état on the Eighteenth Brumaire of the Year VIII that put Napoleon into power. What did surprise me was that no one knew who Louis Napoleon was.


Pete says, “Because you are a football player you should be grateful and shut up?..."  “It is not about denigration of the flag, the country or anything that stands for. It’s not about that, at all. It’s about trying to get your feelings out and your ideas across,”.  This article reports HOURS were spent Saturday before a decision was made as to what the team was going to do while the National Anthem played.  Russell said it was a quick decision. It truly is sad the players AND coaches think the world-wide observation of DISRESPECT for the flag and anthem is  "...about trying to do the right thing."  Surely, you might think there are other avenues these players and coaches could better use to try to get their concerns & thoughts out than DISRESPECTING their country's flag and National Anthem.  No one is trying to silence them!  Players and coaches should be GOOD role models for our young people. Many saw the little league team of 8 & younger being shown what to do... Very sad indeed.


Hancock's proposed EO fails the U.S. Constitution and existing federal laws. His proposed EO makes clear that illegal foreigners have substantially more rights than U.S. citizens. If a U.S. citizen in Denver County Jail has a federal detainer, they're handed over to federal custody. The EO threatens termination for any Denver employee who dares to act within the Constitution and applicable federal laws?

The idea that Hancock wants to take city taxpayer funds to facilitate legal representation to illegal foreigners is priceless. Whether the costs are direct or administrative overhead costs, Hancock can't take city taxpayer funds for illegal foreigners.

Supremely ironic that school starts this month in Denver but the Mayor and Council don't care one whit about the U.S. children who attend city schools. U.S. children are second-class citizens in Hancock, et al, warped sense of duty. Funds for illegal foreigners, nothing for Denver's children. Hancock's moral barometer indeed.


Continued.

1. Ms. Perlow has not gone after and prosecuting clear police misconduct such as the state trooper who kicked a clearly surrending individual, breaking his clavicle and rib after "accidentally" running into his motorcycle. That trooper was promoted.
2. Continuing a duii diversion policy, regarding delayed testing of urine, that potentially forces innocent people to enter diversion. The issue comes up with marijuana alleged duii cases. Defendant denies smoking any marijuana within the last week. After field sobriety tests and later a drug recognition evaluation, officer says "I don't believe you" and arrests the person for duii. Now, you need to realize that every DRE in the county has made a mistake and called impairment when there was none at least once. At the end of the evaluation a urine sample is taken for confirmatory testing. The testing process can take 1-6 months to complete. Urine is typically not tested after a person enters a plea or enters diversion.


Does the math work? A $2 billion public subsidy raises the question of why pay it. The answer rests with the economic benefit of having an NFL franchise.  The franchise draws fans and promotes the city through sports media. It’s nice to have for NFL fans but San Diego’s loss will be a gain in LA.
Funding the subsidy through a hotel tax has merit. Vacancy rates will decrease for accommodation around the stadium. Bars and restaurants will also feel the hit. Liquor taxes and sales taxes from these businesses will decrease. It would be interesting to read a report that tries to estimate the economic benefit of the annual tax revenue for each of the Leafs, Raptors, and Jays. The $2 billion price tag in SD was for a stadium that would have been for civic show piece lasting a number of years. If the math works then there should be taxpayer support.


Thank you for proving my points!  Always!

You started this round of bullying with claims of trolling.  You always start it, and then add your insipid smiley faces, which we know is a subtle form of bullying.

No problem.  I'm not afraid of you - but I am bored.  So.  Your comments are flagged.  If you don't stop harassing me, I will report you. Again.

Have a nice day.


Yeah, well, covfefe on you!


Yet before supermarkets were invented, there were dozens of small specialty stores like butcher, greengrocer, fishery, bakery, all of which had low overheads and either produced themselves what they sold, or had direct suppliers. Or else, they had their own small booths in "real markets". I know of one in Vienna, Austria, the. Naschmarkt.


You got your facts wrong.

Native status is no longer determined by when a woman marries a non-status male. That was scrapped in 1985.

If a native marries a non-native, native status can now be passed on to children and grand-children. But then it stops.


Thank you, Father.

I don't think Kaepernick can help.  Nor do I think another vetern QB will help in this situation.  The 2 game recovery time would be too short of a prep period for the vet to get up to speed and be a factor.  I would think Sloter would be a more inspiring replacement should Siemian go down.

My advice, based on 45 years working numerous jobs, is never to quit, no matter how bad things are, until you have already been hired by another employer.   The primary reason for this is psychological.   When you start a new job you naturally feel optimistic about the course of your life.  If you are unemployed, you feel depressed.


The foreign aid comes back to the West. Switzerland kept billions of dollars of Nazi gold, jewish assets (which were not claimed by their dead owners), etc. Drug money from Colombia went there too.

The Swiss have been doing this for decades. The only time they stopped is when the US clamped down on terrorist funding.


Used to buy full synthetic oil at Canadian tire for $14.99 to $19.99 5 litre jug oil filter $4.99. and changed the oil myself. Now jugs of synthetic cost over $60 wow.

 Now that I think of it I want an EV now.


Current retirees aren't taking out any more than retirees were 30 years ago in real dollars and in many cases less -------what you get is a function of years of service and salary and contributions from both employer and employee are a function of salary and should have (and often will have) been adjusted up over the years to keep plans viable over the life of the plan.  As you note, your contributions are rising but for most plans that didn't just start recently. (Retiree extended health benefits, when they are part of a defined benefit plan, which they often aren't and probably shouldn't be, may be a different matter. ) What has changed is that the actuarial models are inadequate in the light of the  low rates of return for, and scarcity of,  "safe"  AAA investments that pension plans, for obvious reasons, need, including the low interest rates of the last 7 years which amount to a massive transfer of wealth from savers to borrowers.


James Murdoch , CEO of 20th Century Fox , has made it clear that the positions trump has chosen are completely unacceptable , fair and balanced.

Donald Trump is a petty, vindictive, racist ignoramus and pathological liar who resonates powerfully with the base of the Republican party for the simple reason that they are, in the main, petty, vindictive ignorami who have been trained by decades of conditioning via Fox News and Hate Radio to mindlessly accept as gospel any comforting nonsense that comes from the mouths of pathological Republican liars.

I don't know how many different ways we can say it.

A = C
B = C
Therefor A = B.

Trump is the Party and the Party is Trump. How much walloping-them-in-the-head-with-a-shovel does this has to be before the media will start speaking of our national political disaster in those terms?


Good Question, anyone have an answer?


If a company doesn't pay a "living wage" then why work for them? You can say NO to the wages offered and move to a diff job right? Walmart didn't get "rich" because people didn't like the wages, they got "rich" because they offered cheap as junk stupid people purchased and because min wage laws. If you think your time is worth $8.25 an hour and take a job offering that whose fault that? Not Walmart. If Walmart offered 200 people $8.25 ad hour for a job and 200 people said KMA, guess what Walmart would then offer?

The chart appears to be a 2 week chart rather than a 3 year chart.

Regardless, I believe that this is an attractive REIT.

Another small cap REIT that may be of interest to REIT investors seeking robust yields is PRV.UN (yield on this one is actually higher than NXR.UN). A big plus in my opinion regarding PRV.UN is the very seasoned management team - it is the former management team of CANMARC REIT which was built up to a substantial size before being acquired by Cominar REIT for $1.9 billion in 2012. Their April 5, 2017 Investor Presentation is worth a read (plus more due diligence, of course).

Regarding; "What is wrong with vacuuming and cleaning if done in love and service??"
- No doubt the married male deacons are well versed in vacuuming, dishwashing, diaper changing, etc..
- Those men who entered the deaconate as vowed celibates might be lacking in the fullness of the meaning of service, unless the parish to which they are assigned takes them well into hand and assists in their edification as servants.


Individual anecdotes about better or worse off are irrelevant.  Important are more general results.  We find ourselves faced with massive health care costs.  Wages have stagnated.  Ever more manufacturing jobs flee to Asia.  Our savings earn zero interest meaning they lose value every year.  The national infrastructure is said to be in decay.  So many goods in our stores come from China that we truly are slaves to it.  Imagine a conflict where they applied sanctions.  Our store shelves would be empty.

Better or worse requires detailed evaluation of the average American's situation.


Any chance our governments could take a portion of these increased profits and use them to provide better care for our seniors? No? Oh well. Enjoy your private jets and luxury yachts, CIBC executives and shareholders.

Since turibles are much less in use these days, it would appear this condition has life-long lasting effects from early exposure to incense. The open question, in my mind is whether the disease is triggered by all incense or just the generally horrible stuff  the one used to find used in the Catholic Church? I hypothesis that quality incense is innocent. and it may even be the quality incense is very less objectionable to those who are aroma challenged.

Further research is required.


FFRF radical? Geez. They aren't.


Commenter, you mean "SPRINGTUCKY", I LOVE Homer.


The primitive horse species went extinct in the Americas at he end of the Pleistocene...11,000 years ago...at the same time as the Wooly Mammoths, Wooly Rhinos, Dire Wolves, Cave Bears, American Lions, Spotted Hyenas and the American Cheetah...numerous species...went extinct. The domestic horse now running free in the "Wild West" are feral, but the exact same species as an Arabian, a Morgan, a Shire or a Shetland.
As for your assertion that the horses live in harmony with nature...that is not true in most HMA's. "Harmony with Nature" would mean that the horses have a predator that keeps the population in balance. (like the African lion keeps the zebra in balance) Only a couple of HMA's have any large predator that does that: a couple have Mountain lions that will kill foals, but most HMA's aren't Mountain lion habitat.
Scientific facts, as stated by the National Academy of Science, is pretty clear. People can read abut it here:


The author misses a critical point.  When Canada made cannabis illegal in 1923 there was no scientific evidence that it should be made so -- none ... there was parliamentary debate at all ... no rationale -- with the stroke of a pen, the rights of millions of people were removed.  In 1961 there was little evidence too.  No government anywhere should have the right to take away the rights of its citizens to a plant without damned good reason.  And today -- the bulk of evidence clearly indicates that cannabis is much more benign then many other legal substances  -- and actually has many medical benefits when used intelligently.   In fact, freshly picked cannabis is NOT even psychoactive (many do not know that) and taken as a nutraceutical in smoothies, has huge health benefits for the human
endocannabinoid system and has put into remission many illnesses such as rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune disease.   Look up the work of Dr. William Courtney in the US on U tube!


You may well think that but it's not Catholicism. The Commandments are not guidelines or ideals to be aimed for. And it's the deposit of faith these Cardinals are defending. Conscience isn't "supreme"; the Truth is. Not even Pope Francis is teaching that.


"Jacqueline Hinman, chairman and CEO of CH2M Hill Cos., a Colorado-based engineering company that manages projects including light rail in Toronto ..."

And we all know how well this project is going ... too funny.


"The antifa group is known for covering their faces."   WOW, I wonder where they learned to do that.


They could have built a tunnel?


As has been pointed out, the income figures have risen significantly but are still not as high as in 2007. If you think about it, incomes were going down significantly from 2008 through about 2012, 2013. They flattened out about that time, not going down but not going up either. Republicans took control of the house in Jan. 2011 and began reducing the annual deficits. Harry Reid and the democrats in the senate then shut down almost all legislation, so almost nothing got done. Then republicans took control of the senate in Jan. 2015 and the amount of bipartisan legislation getting done increased significantly. It is also obvious that business confidence in the government has increased with republicans in charge of the congress, as the economic indicators have shown. Once again, republicans are responsible for improving economic numbers but will never be given proper credit. Just like the 4 years of surpluses that Bill Clinton took credit for.


That's not what the complaint says. It's parkland. The course is a dump. I live a mile from the course and never play there, because it blows.

Not to mention, people against the project are basically telling the lower income neighborhoods to go f'ck themselves over some trees in city park.

And my point still stands. There are many detention basins constructed in parks. Happens all the time. DOesn't mean it's not still a park.


If true, that would certainly put DT in a spot, having to ban Muslims AND semi-automatic weapons (WMDs).


that blatant liar is John Horgan.  He has promised to spend so much money on unbelievably economy-destroying ideas like $10 childcare, massive expansion of the social service and teachers, buying renter voters with $400 handouts, eliminating new bridge tolls, cancelling clean hydro project site C.  He is either lying because he won't deliver those items, or he is lying about the amount of massive tax increases and deficits he will have to impose on the hard working taxpayers.  He is also lying saying he will end the kinder morgan expansion - he cannot legally do anything about it.  A vote for NDP will mean we will see our debt-to-GDP and unemployment skyrocket like it did in every province where the NDP has had power!
