I'm guessing you've heard of Oregon TILTH, the state's leading organization promoting organic, sustainable farming.  They certify organic farms with on-site inspections, soil tests and tests of produce to insure organic standards of production.  You might learn a great deal from visiting their website.

Your comments regarding organic farming are totally without substance.  The agri-chemical industry is working very hard to discredit organic farming.  Fortunately, they are not succeeding.  More and more farmers are adopting organic methods of production, the supply of certified organic produce is ever increasing and the prices are becoming more competitive with produce grown on megafarms utilizing petroleum based fertilizers and chemical herbicides and pesticides.  The pollution of water tables and riverways with, especially, nitrogen and phosperous compounds result from overapplication of petroleum based chemical fertilizers is a widespread problem.  read up a bit on these issues....


Exactly


So then, what disciplinary measures will you be putting in place for your very own dep min who went out of his way to make sure that everybody blames the immigrants????


In fact there is a return to paper books....see SteveWilliams reply below...Indigo and Chapters have not increased the area devoted to non- books in a long time and over 50% of the store space is devoted to books and increasing -again.  In Toronto there is a renaissance of small bookshops - independent and focussed that are doing quite well and cater to those who love a real book,


Terrorist ban, terrorist ban, terrorist ban.


Angelo_vancouver ' putting the country's interest ahead of any ideological rants'  I completely agree!  It would be refreshing to see the same attitude by our political friends and neighbours to the south.


Being a tourist mecca this tragedy will touch many corners of the world. Trump's handling of this will face bi-partisan scrutiny. Saddest day in Vegas history.


Very well written article! As always I would like to point out that getting cheap natural gas distributed statewide will help create new economies and infrastructure to level out the rises and falls of a resource gutting state. We have a gigantic and awesome hunk of the planet here. Time to invest in our own precious metals bank as a backup to the Permanent Fund. By creating our own fully backed Cd's from a state owned by the people bank we can wrest control of our own economy from outside influences.


Good grief and good luck with that.  Who is going to run against him?  He has gotten more votes in the last 9 elections than any other statewide candidate or ballot issue........Dream weaver........  this oped sounds like rachel maddow, just a long list of pejorative words.  And if our intelligence agencies have some proof, why haven't they produced it?


Mr. Saunders points out exactly why Obama has been the best US president in at least the past 50 plus years.


Yup, anybody who has an opinion different than the extremist, paranoid ranting of this columnist must be a troll because after all, in the alt left world you either agree or you are to be silenced by whatever means necessary including calling them names such as "trolls". Why stop there, aren't they "deplorables" as well?


Again Kiszla misses the point to attack Trump and make a political point.  This is not the time or the place. It is a game, they are employees protesting on their employers time.  Yes, Trump should have stayed out of it.  Why can't we just have a football game?  I support the players right to protest, to do something positive, to make a difference but they should do it on their own time.  Besides, it is counterproductive.  It only alienates most of the fans, drops the popularity and, therefore, revenue of the sport which will hurt their own paychecks in the long run.  It is nothing more than well intentioned stupidity (by players and Trump). As to "A real leader tackles a problem head-on, face-to-face, seeking compromise that at least partially serves the end goal of both combative parties." that is one of those statement which sound superficially good but is really nonsense.  A real leader does what is right regardless of what the political outcome is.


There are people of many political stripes who comment here, both in the comments section and the body text. Why send something in? Beats me, lots of reasons, starting with courage of convictions and trust in public dialog. You can guess all day about what'll get approval, but you'll never know until you send something in.


Justin has filled his boots.  With gender fluid socks.


How can you possibly be that thick?  What we are dealing with now is potentially catastrophic change in an extremely short period of time; we now have these things on the planet called "civilizations", some of which will be profoundly affected.  It's not just about you and the cozy Ottawa Valley, y'know.


No kidding there's no review.

Why do you think those Chinese businessman are paying Trudeau and his gang cold, hard cash?

We don't have a federal government in Canada, we have a gang of fraud artists selling this country out.


Wrong. Fascism and Marxism have different goals but are two sides of the same coin. Both are statist ideologies rooted in collective suppression of individual rights through force of a totalitarian government, which makes them on the far left of the political spectrum.


I haven't seen nearly as many birds with deformed beaks in recent years as I saw 15 to 20 years ago.


I agree with a few of your statements. However, one could say that some individuals marry others only to find that their spouse has grown at odds with the original character whom they chose to partner with, so I don't understand the correlation to the original article. We're talking about her morals correct? Not her relationship status, right?

Speaking directly to the statement regarding my tidy little predisposition: Yes, the article fits within a narrative of morals over political leanings, and yes perhaps my statement was indeed naïve. However, I find it respectful for an individual to paint the picture as such and call a spade a spade. Media outlets pick up the rest and make it clickable. His statement, while factually consistent with some research regarding socioeconomic status, fails to correlate many other factors contributing to the issue. Success is not measured in dollars, and her choice to leave, while murky in intension, is indeed commendable based on the issue presented.


The religious right was triggered by the 1970s.  What a crap decade and what a sad degradation of American culture and society.  Roe was just part of the 1970s.  Brown (1954) might not have been popular with all conservatives, but the country remained prosperous and moral until the 1960 radical movements that led to the 1970s.


Well, the easter egg in the penultimate sentence was...it's [sic] own reward.


I agree.  I have never understood why people are allowed to deduct interest on 2nd homes either. People can buy an RV or popup trailer and call it a "2nd home" and deduct interest on the loan.  No, I'm not making that up.  I'm guessing the 2nd home deduction is because many Congress members, at one time at least, had 2 homes, one in their district, one in DC.  But that's another topic for another day.

We just can't afford to subsidize high mortgages and high local taxes.  We don't subsidize the entire cost of sending kids to college - that tax credit is $2500.  We don't subsidize the entire cost of raising kids.  We don't subsidize all of people's healthcare costs (frankly, the amount we allow for that deduction is too low, imo). We limit how much people can shelter for retirement.  There are many areas that the tax code allows some deduction in order to encourage a particular activity, but not unlimited amounts for people to spend on that activity because they can afford it.


Trump is rude, erratic and loathe to use or even recognize the truth. Leaders of other countries, both America's friends and America's enemies, have recognized this. There is very little chance that Trump will now ever be treated seriously on the world stage. The Trump administration is rapidly diminishing America's standing in the world. It's difficult to see things improving over the course of the next three years.


Or they could fake insanity to get a deferral, as the brave conservative Republican Ted Nugent did:

Ted, on his draft interview:

"I got my physical notice 30 days prior to.

Well, on that day I ceased cleansing my body.

No more brushing my teeth, no more washing my hair, no baths, no soap, no water.

Thirty days of debris build.

I stopped shavin', had a little scraggly beard, really looked like a hippie.

I had long hair, and it started gettin' kinky, matted up.

Then two weeks before, I stopped eating any food with nutritional value.

I just had chips, Pepsi, beer-stuff I never touched-buttered poop, little jars of Polish sausages, and I'd drink the syrup, I was this side of death.

Then a week before, I stopped going to the bathroom.

My pants got crusted up.

So I went in, and those guys in uniform couldn't believe the smell.

I knew I had these chumps beat."

Incidentally, there is no such thing now in the US military as a "draft deferral".

There is no draft.


Great article, bang on


I think you should personally tell this to the victims of gun violence. Tell them that you're sorry, but this is the price of freedom and that their loss was destined because the assailant would have just as easy wielded a machete or generated a fertilizer bomb.


The GOP plan supports the rich and powerful and increases the divide between economic classes.  There really is no such thing as "trickle down economics."  Reagan proved that.


Blaming "The Russians!" for America's "divisions" is downright insulting to U.S. voters' intelligence.

The voters reacted to their perception of real problems in our society. Russian propaganda  was not required.


Students mentoring students?  What's next, professors who have never worked outside of academia lecturing students on how the 'real world' works?  (Oops, too late!)


All these pfd letters are quite amusing with the election threats and whatever else they come up with. Heres the cold facts. Your pfd is going away. Unless the state starts printing money they have nowhere else to go. And dont give me that income tax stuff. There is not enough income to come within 10 percent of what is needed. Stop writing the letters and wasting your time


Easily as damaging as anything that went down in the good old Soviet Union.


Nice to see "Civility" is no longer a requirement.  Thank you.


Eric Bjerregaard, Your comment is about what Adrian H. said, yet you apply it to the author of the article.  You seem to be confused.


Just another example of the exemption voted by themselves to the Alaska Open Meetings Act.  Backroom legislative actions without open debate for the public to see them all in their glorious stupidity.  Open up all legislative meetings to the original intent of the statute and Constitution and see things change really fast.


I think your second point is bang on.

Now for your first point - i disagree that calling Doctors out in this thread means an irrational dislike of physicians.     I just counted the number of doctors in my extended family and it's 6.    3 specialists (2 woman, one man).    3 GP's (all men).    Nobody is complaining and nobody would change careers even with a tax change.
So who is whining?   Is it the Dr's who count their hours and conclude that nobody has it tougher?

BTW, I've also recently experienced the difficulties in finding a female doctor for my teenage daughters.   A growing %  of female MD's in family practice are part-time doctors.    It may be politically incorrect to state - but that is reality.    The system allows it (for men too).    When you start to hear complaints about being in dire straights and envious comparisons to imaginary Canadians who have pensions and benefits and only work 9 - 5 then it's important to point out faults in the current system.


No, but the silent majority voted for it. Just like for Trump.


"If you are going to state things as fact you better have them correct because there are those out there that know better."

Except, rick, you routinely dismiss the scientific consensus on climate change.

" However, the House also sent a clear message to the Senate that it shouldn’t “infringe on the privileges of the House” by amending financial legislation, "

So the Liberals just want a rubber stamp Senate?


Wasn't there a lady in Co Springs recently convicted of voter fraud by casting ballots for her two dead parents? The previous SoS investigated immigrant voter fraud and found 1 case in ten years of an immigrant voting (because the DMV told him he could). This is a non-issue, after the previous SoS spent millions of tax dollars investigating nothing, people are still claiming that there is fraud. Why?


"Morrison, a rare book dealer, didn't immediately respond to a request for comment left on his voicemail at home. He doesn't have a cellphone."

I not sure what the implication is here that I didn't immediately respond?  That I don't have a cell phone?  Is there a problem with that?  Has our culture sunk so low that immediate responses and not having a cell phone are unacceptable?

It wasn't too long ago that there was a public debate and controversy surround the wearing of ceremonial daggers. This is Canada, some customs from other faraway cultures just don't fit. Remember you ae a Canadian first and should respect Canadian values and Canadian culture which is rooted in modern western values.


Well, I hope your claim gets resolved soon.  Good luck.


I certainly agree with numbers 2 to 5. It's not progressive. I believe 2-5 simultaneously. Dunno what that makes me.  Except, maybe, more fascinated by the phenomenon and inclined to enjoy the time I have.


Singing "How the hell can we believe you, how the hell can we believe you, how the hell can we believe you, you lie you bliksem, you lie!"


I was sarcastically referring to the Govt Hill bears.


I've said elsewhere that I remember the 1950s.


I understand,
given how our elected officials have squandered our fortune on studying mega-projects that were never going to come to fruition-like the road to Juneau. On the flip side, we the Citizens of Alaska keep electing these folks, so we are to blame also.


The writer is a Tim Tredwell wannabe.  Just not quite as stupid.  Facts are is that most common people are scared pooless of bears and do not want them in and around Anchorage.  We don't care if only one person was mauled by a bear.  It will change your life, if you live, for the negative of that I can assure you. I would not give the entire population of woods pigs (bears are related to pigs) for 1 human mauled or killed.  Why not hang up posters of the scars for life that mauled people have experienced at all the trail heads.  Never happen!  This is very much in the liberal tradition!


Ah yes, "waiver" - the new euphemism to make allowance for a one-time violation of the law so that Republicans can get exactly what they want. First it was "alt-right" to describe neo-nazi white supremicists. Now this. What next?


Reminds me of the Vanity Fair where cheeto talks about Epstein being a good friend.  Just a few months before he said he didn't know him in Federal Court.  Note the prosecutor in the Epstein case never checked that or prosecuted his lie under oath.  Bet he has a nice condo to show for it.


Perfect example of how the Trumpinazi's are destroying this country.


Note Tony Keller's (the editorial writer) sympathy toward Obama, who allowed this entire genocide to occur.  Keller reserves his bile toward Trump for perceived ills, while Trump is not yet even President.  The Globe's front section is a sad caricature of the MSM.


This guy should be in jail already, don't tell me he hasn't yet committed a crime. Defrauding investors has got to be a criminal offense.
Where is Chin when you need him? Is he too busy meeting with $600 hr attorneys to discuss the next appeal of Trump's EO.
Seize his assets and pay back the sucker investors Chin. Do your job!


Facts are not a "vendetta" except, apparently, to Trumpsters who believe their leader's lies.

See Washington Post's database of 1,316 false and misleading statements by Trump in 263 days.

Do you have any facts, data, examples, studies, stories to support your accusations? Again you don't like government oversight and regulations are you old enough to rememeber what the rust belt and east coast was like before the EPA? Our nation is LESS polluted now than it was a half  century ago, and that is a bad thing? Again if you hate government regs you can move to Haiti or Somalia or India they have no Unions or government regualtion of industry.


I got no dog in this fight. But, the fact remains that the workers at the polls violated the rules concerning the distribution of ballots. There is so much ado about printing ballots in Native languages, but, no mention of untrained and/or unqualified election workers manning the polls. Of course the State wants to railroad the results through. Less work. Of course the incumbent wants a recount. Wouldn't you? Be honest now...
Had the Division of Elections ordered a do-over from the start, they would have saved the State a lawsuit. Of course, there's always the Boss. Yup. Byron Mallott, the Lieutentant Governor is the head of that division. Who does he favor in this primary?

Curiouser and curiouser...


Does the Canadian Muslim Forum have any association with the Muslim Brotherhood?


In case you haven't noticed there have been several thousand forced lay-offs, relocations and retirements in the private sector. We get it, the education folks could care less.
And what about that first year UAF engineering student looking for a part time summer job in the private sector, that isn't successful because there are none. But let's tax everything under the sun because we don't want them education folks to suffer one iota. We get it, it's all about greed and an absence of compassion with you folks. The children are nothing but a smokescreen attempt to hide this fact. Alaskans are tired of your old selfish arguments.


seriously-do the amish commit honourkillings upon women who leave the religion?


I think you know that most of the opposition to restructuring the Permanent Fund comes from those who object to the oil industry subsidies remaining in place. In effect half of every Alaskan's dividend check would go to finance the $700 Million in subsidies to the oil industry that would be doing the work without any encouragement because they make Billions of dollars pumping OUR oil. You know that the Governor proposed a balanced set of ideas that in total would have reduced the deficit almost to the balance point but you insist on playing the blame game by pretending the only idea put forth by the Governor was the PFD restructuring. In fact that is the only part of the Governors balanced plan that the legislature had the courage to cheer pick out and pass.


And yet probably 1/2 of my passengers are non-white.

It would be ever so transparent to reveal the actual votes, Democrat, Republican or Independent.

That may not be possible, of course.

It also would be transparent to see if the double-State votes were by transients just moving or by college students.


You didn't read the article: "The meeting with his Russian counterpart [Kirill] drew Francis deep into geopolitics, and led him to condone Russia’s foreign policy and critique the West’s in ways that have infuriated some of the Catholic church’s supporters ... The joint declaration issued after the meeting hewed close to the Kremlin’s positions on the conflicts in Syria and Ukraine."
When Sect. of State John Kerry went to Havana the week before, he met with dissidents and spoke about human rights. The pope did not.
An April 2015 article in Il Sole 24 Ore stated the Vatican’s assets - securities, commercial real estate and bank accounts - for all its departments and offices combined “by a conservative estimate” would be around 15-17 billion euro.  With approximately 400 citizens and 800 residents, that make the Vatican the wealthiest country per capita. The US gov't doesn't claim to be "poor for the poor."
Other world leaders ACT to address "social justice."


Technically the IMF and the World Bank are specialized institutions of the United Nations.


Co-signed: Naomi Davidson - Washington State. Not Alaskan.


You seem to forget there are so called "rights" that contradict each other. More than a  few  years back, a store would carry the sign "We reserve the right to refuse service to ....". The law then changed so that the customer had the "right" to service.

So "rights" of the private owner, were taken away, while "rights" were given to the customer.

So in effect, the government is the one who defines the "rights" of citizens down to the most minute detail. That might be more scary, then "if you don't like the store, or company to work for, go to another store or company".


We had decades to protect our grid and harden our infrastructure for an EMP attack, and no one in power did anything other than insure their own survival. The sad fact is this....Our globalist leaders want the majority of people to die so they can re-emerge at some future date on a planet devoid of most people. They want us dead!!! That is the reality....


And no one wants to butt into the business of women and their private medical decisions. If it involved a woman who wants to remove her leg, gall bladder, arm, spleen, appendix, etc--no one cares what a woman wants to do to her body.

The problem with abortion is that another human person is involved. That is where we have to butt in because we don't get to kill people and claim--it is none of anyone business that we are killing people--because the Constitution guarantees the right to privacy. The Constitution grants us the right to privacy--not the right to murder people. Apparently this reasoning was lost on the SCOTUS.  That--is exactly why over education from Harvard and other elitist schools can be a bad thing.  It can cause you to miss the obvious.


Except they start teaching it in 5th grade.


if Ottawa was overwhelmed, why not divert to other airports?


Not talking another 'kick the can' "deal", but the resolution of a conflict that has gone on (cold war ) for over 60 years. End the armistice, and get a peace treaty done is step one... Starting a hot war isn't going to solve anything and will likely make things a whole lot worse.


Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!


How much do you make per year?


RG:  "But Tuesday, Eugene police confirmed a new detail that wasn’t mentioned the previous day — the man found was dead." - kinda a big detail to not update.
                       WHY ARE THERE NO UPDATES FOR SO MANY STORIES?
rg:  "Attempts to reach Kucinski’s family were not successful. ) - Some how they never are for the RG..even when family members are posting in comments. Sounds rarely that the RG reaches out to anyone in the news - they just repeat some release. if you read carefully, the RG will give the source in kinda a back door way - the source may be at the end of the story. The whole article is quotes from a 3rd party  like the cops, hospital, u of o..
 when they say the party was unavailable, is there more than one phone call?

the RG used to be a much, much  better paper.  there is very little actual reporting these days...


Before you point fingers at your favourite likely culprit, you should recall that three years ago Canadian electronic spies hacked the Brazilian Ministry of Mines and Energy. This was revealed through a series of slides prepared by the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC). Those in turn were part of the leaked trove of information provided by Edward Snowden.

Speaking at the time to the Globe and Mail, security expertPaulo Pagliusi said he was “astonished” by Canada’s hacking power.

www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/canadas-hacking-power-awes-brazilian-security-expert/article14850467/

So, two points. Don't angrily accuse other countries of doing what we have long been doing ourselves. And if you think that only the Russians or Chinese would be the hackers, you are probably naive.


lol lol lol lol lol lol lol y'all in Anchortown have had it so easy for so long your comments make me laugh. You don't have near the taxes the rest of the state has and for years your legislators have obtained state money for all your projects, roads, and more. Time to actually reduce your budget if you want even fewer taxes. You actually should be paying more taxes and getting less state money.


And you, like all of us, will find out when negotiations begin.


Well that's a nice attempted deflection but it has nothing to do with what I said.


That's true. Which means what, exactly? I am one of the 3%, with 6 rifles, 1 shotgun and 2 handguns. The chances of me using them for nefarious activity is zero, as is with the overwhelming majority of the 3%. So what do we do? Round up the 3% and submit them to scrutiny? I am also appalled by these shootings and don't object to a reasonable tightening of gun laws. But I'm not interested in banning or confiscating legal weapons held by the law abiding  citizenry.


So you think secession is legal?
Based on what?

The "...argument against secession centers on the language of Article I, Section 10, which declares that “No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation….” To proponents of this position, Article I, Section 10 unequivocally shows that the states which formed the Confederate States of America were in clear violation of the Constitution, thus invalidating their government and the individual acts of secession which led to it. Abraham Lincoln indirectly defended this position by declaring the seceding states were in “rebellion” and therefore still members of the Union. The Constitution, then, was still legally enforceable in those states, including Article I, Section 10."
http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/is-secession-legal/

Given the choice of Lincoln, or a kon man, I'll go with Lincoln every time.


It's par for the course and just another sad folly the state and our law makers have led us on. Chin is using our hard earned taxpayer money to support his own personal  feelings at the cost of current standing law and hardworking taxpayers. Sad!


LW: you are just wasting your time trying to reason with people like S Bellam and 907. Their one sided over the top left wing rants are out of touch with the real world. To make claims that the military is mostly there to protect corporate interests is as about unpatriotic as can be. You are well within your rights to be offended. These offensive people are really part of the problem. And never the solution. Ignore them, as they speak for but  a small number of Americans. Very small! The vast majority agree with your sense of being offended.


The only reason that Sanders polls better than Trump is that Republicans are holding back the information they have on Sanders' past history in hopes he is nominated. There are reasons Republicans have never stopped attacking Clinton and have not laid a glove on Sanders, and it isn't because he is Saint Bernie. If he is nominated they will spend hundreds of millions of Koch Brothers dollars telling Americans that Sanders supported the Iranian government in 1980 while the Iranian mullahs were holding Americans hostage.  They will tell us all about his support for completely removing funding for American defense. That was part of the platform of his party, the Socialist Workers Party. He was an Elector for the SWP that year. They will tell us about all his wacky theories others have referenced, but it is his past as an active revolutionary trying to undermine the US as we know it that will doom his candidacy.


Isn't the Wall going to be a run-on sentence?  The cost will run-on & on & On....etc.


If the Italians leave the EU, along with the Euro currency, and go back to printing Lira, they can recapitalize their banks by having their new central bank buy up bonds issued by the banks.  Such  bonds may even pay negative rates ( i.e. more money going from the central bank to the Italian banks after it buys their bonds).  This has the advantage that no taxpaper funds are used and no savers get 'bailed-in'.  In the past this would not have been done since it would have caused massive inflation, but since modern inflation is stuck close to zero there would be little risk in giving it a try.  Unfortunately, the problem will be existing debts denominated, and paid back, in Euros.  That will probably require a temporary fixed Lira/Euro exchange rate that will then be allowed to float again after the Euro debts are paid back. The EU is a mess, and disentangling from it is also, unfortunately, a mess too.


I did overtime studies of Anchorage police & fire years ago. I doubt much has changed since then. The amount of overtime that APD/AFD officers received in the past could increase their total annual compensation by over 30% on top of already generous pay scales. Muni overtime rules allow the most senior officers - those earning the most because of longevity- to get “first crack” at it.
So when you see police directing parking at events or other non-standard patrol duties, they are usually the most senior officers & are making a HUGE hourly overtime pay for that duty. Senior officers tend to start seeking a lot of overtime in the 3 years before their 20-year retirement timeline- because all the overtime they earn in their final 3 years of working is added into the calculation of the size of their annual retirement income. I have known APD/AFD people with retirement incomes larger than the incomes they received while working! has been true under Dem/Republican mayors both. Always.


I cannot put my finger on it exactly but I get this feeling that Trump's attack on the media is just a big "us versus them" distraction.  I just don't see how it has any direct affect on policy, domestic or international.  Like a bit of showman's misdirection.


Trump surely got his info on our immigration from Trudeau, he sure didn't speak to us Canadians about it.


It was a "private" business that was open to the public.  There are laws that protect anyone.  Tell me how this man choosing to use his religion as a reason not to serve someone, is ANY different than someone else using their religion not to serve a Jewish person, or a Muslim?  Or are you OK with that also?

How pathetic! Typical behavior of men who dislike any organization that encourages the education, independence, and confidence building of young women!


Wait till springtime when the flood will begin.  The US doesn't want these rejects for a reason.  I'm hearing a lot about Somalians in Minnesota, as if the ones in Canada are any better.   I'm not a bigot, I just know several cops.   FACTS don't lie.  Our crime rate would drop if we kicked them all out.


Oh, well, when and if it comes, it will be fast. I would not worry that much.


Much is written of Trudeau's trust fund, not to be confused with his Foundation, but it would be wise to understand where the money came from.  Grandfather owned a chain of gas stations, later sold to Imperial.  He has a good understanding of the business.

I think that the tiny house movement is a good thing , especially if it involves solar power, but for it to do well we are going to have to change our culture. When I was in grad school at UCCS back in the early 80's there was a consensus that houses should be smaller and use less resources, but what actually happened? Houses got bigger, used more resources, and local government made codes that discouraged smaller houses. Making them conform to existing codes or getting around codes is a short term solution. The codes should be changed to conform to what is needed.

It's fitting that "kuspuk" is misspelled "kuska" in this article as none if any of the delegates I'm aware of have any native heritage, and Republican politics is discriminatory towards all minorities, including Natives.  This is a disrespectful marketing stunt.


I don't share your vision of billion dollar lawsuits, though I know that lawyers go for the gold. I found a surprising consensus about the cost of malpractice suits among a variety of sources. 30-80 billion isn't chump change, but it's a rounding error (two sources said that) considering the gigantic cost of health care. I don't want to look it up again, but I think I remember for the US it's 18% of GDP. So 1.5% of that would be 0.003% of GDP approximately. Malpractice is a constant in health care - ask any nurse. One I knew told me that a mistake in filling an IV bag with the wrong chemical killed a patient's entire gut. Of course the patient died, we need our guts. This happens from time to time, and those who are damaged need money to live, or their survivors want justice.


If ur dead ur no longer sick - Rep. Tammi Wilson has the company of like-minded Sen. Mike Dunleavy who share the goal of methodically dismembering public education rather than strengthening it.


So you live with a goat on a mountain and that's it?


Jean Chrétien? That's the idiot that gutted the military and let our dollar go down to 60 cents US.


for years the us has tried to dissuade NK from developing nuclear weapons and the delivery of them via missiles and has failed miserably.  America is paranoid that only they should have nuclear weapons.  but since the first nuclear weapons were fired, many other countries have developed the capability, Russia, china, Pakistan, india.  while these countries have the weapons, they have not used it in warfare.  they all know the devastating effects of it and are reluctant to use them and even Russia instead of using nuclear weapons have only used conventional warfare.  so, is it so bad that NK have these weapons?  being a small country, can they really be a nuclear threat to any other country?  hence, actual facts show that nuclear nations will not use such weapons, knowing full well that they can be annihilated if they did so.  America should pull out of SK and let them and NK resolve their differences and become united again.  we failed so time to let them do it, as in Vietnam.


Melanoma Trump condemning bullying is like Mike Tyson condemning boxing.

If you think it is irrelevant as to whether we have an armed drunk wandering about, you have a totally different view of reality than I do!

I don't think that is what you are saying, but the word 'irrelevant' in your response is confusing for me.


It takes two to participate in the "exploit" party - if you line up to be exploited don't please whine about it later.


The Federalist reported:

According to Soviet documents unearthed in the early 1990’s, Kennedy literally asked the Soviets, avowed enemies of the U.S., to intervene on behalf of the Democratic party in the 1984 elections. Kennedy’s communist communique was so secret that it was not discovered until 1991, eight years after Kennedy had initiated his Soviet gambit.

From the KGB memo:

Picking his way through the Soviet archives that Boris Yeltsin had just thrown open, in 1991 Tim Sebastian, a reporter for the London Times, came across an arresting memorandum. Composed in 1983 by Victor Chebrikov, the top man at the KGB, the memorandum was addressed to Yuri Andropov, the top man in the entire USSR. The subject: Sen. Edward Kennedy.

And given the extensive use of lynching - extra-judicial executions - by the Canadian state against First Nations leadership from the very beginning of the national journey.  From theTsilhqot'in Chiefs, to the execution of Anayitzachist,  of Louie Sam, etc,  the Canadian government - cheered on by the Globe and Mail - has always loved to "hang 'em high".  Perhaps a writer more aware of Canadian and Indigenous history might have avoided such an clanger of an image: surely good clink-bait; but also indicative of poor reasoning and great ignorance.


Ok this is an ad but it is unpaid ... for years I ran snows in the winter and endured the twice a year swap and then I read about the Nokian all weather tires and tried them (first set was WRG2's) and they are quite good in the snow and acceptable on ice. These are put them on and leave them on and not all season but all weather and have a winter rating.
My son just switched over to them on his Acura MDX and loves them. Not cheap and they do have a higher wear rate but no spring and fall switch. Previously I had Michelin X-ice and before them Blizzaks so I am doing a decent comparison to a couple of the best snow tires on the market.

The patent on Malarone expired in 2013 so it is no longer expensive. Malarone is not effective in all types of malaria so cannot be effectively used everywhere. (It only takes 30 seconds of googling to confirm your claims - you should really do that before spreading misinformation.)


They'd be reacting to it.  As Ben Franklin said, when the Constitution was signed, "You have a Republic now, if you can keep it."  As another famous quote goes--inscribed at the entrance to the National Archives, "The price of freedom is constant vigilance."  We will have to apply the rule of law very strictly and carefully, to ensure that we do keep our Republic.


You have missed his point entirely. I would suggest you re-read this editorial more slowly.

The Oilers looked tired and the Sharks draw penalties like no other team in the league.

Why are so many comments in here suddenly disappearing?


Such disrespect for the transabled. Surely their time will come?

"Gender dysphoria" is as much as socio-political term as it is a medical one. The term is used in preference to "gender identity disorder". DSM-5 introduces the term "gender incongruence" as a better identifying and less stigmatising term. The cause of this condition is as yet unknown: it is psychological or psychiatric in origin and not physiological.

Are you so cavalier about the mutilation of genitalia as you are that of breasts? Perhaps you agree FGM should be permitted if a child or young woman wants it for religious/cultural reasons?


Read the Feds criminal complaint document with this SA story.  The feds subpoenaed cell phone records of all involved and they have call records between the Kealoha’s and the cops indicted when all of this mailbox theft and manipulations were going down.   Also goes to motive.   All these arrested cops or former cops had NO reason to frame Puana and ONLY the Kealoha’s had a reason to fabricate this elaborate fake mailbox theft and pin it out Puana, Katherine’s relative.  All that is left is for the rest of the cops to flip on the Kealoha’s and testify against them on the content of those cell phone conversations and how either Louis and/or Katherine instructed them to frame Puana with their mailbox scheme.  Feds have these cops dead to rights on multiple felonies like fabricating evidence, perjury against federal investigators, etc. and they have to decide if they want to do hard time in federal prison, including the threat of spending many years in general population...


Charlie, your first comment made me think you believe we should only teach our kids in our own language.  Certainly, we are doing a poor job of teaching basics.  Our graduation rates are appalling.  We need to get serious about change.

But foreign language immersion programs do not detract from our success (or lack of it) in those areas.

They are a part of our overall solution; they are not part of the problem.


It is ironic that those who label others, who hold a different opinion, "fascist", act, and some even dress like the original "fascist" "Black shirts" of Benito Mussolini.

But as Joseph Goebbels noted,  telling a lie long & often enough, some will believe it.


For the same reason that her Palace Guard evaporated and her Ministers and Police were hiding out with a Gatling Gun in the jail across town the night of the Revolution of 1893. There was no way they would die for her.  Then two years later when she with other conspirators came up with a plot to overthrow the new Republic Government with a population of 40,000 Polynesians she could only find 175 to take part.
No.  Two years after the new government had been established and was working well the people had now had a taste of Democracy and had no stomach to return to the Monarch model.  A model under her and her brother that was nothing but constant intrigue, corruption, and fiscal irresponsibility.

Read all about that night in Lucien Young's book "The Real Hawaii", published in 1899.  You can read the whole account on line just search the book's name, pages 177-193 pertain to this event.


Good for America! I was hoping that the robust nature of their constitution and law would withstand the test.
However, I do wish that media would stop conflating 'immigration' and refugees'. Those are 2 very different things - one is a measured program to bring new people into a country, while refugees are people fleeing for their lives to live in a new country.


And then communism collapsed


The shift is to later start times, not earlier start times, as the article incorrectly states.


You offer no evidence to substantiate any of the assertions you make. For example you say that the Natural Law is outdated yet you offer no explanation as to why. Why should anyone simply take your word for it?


The State has sworn to preserve and restore the Native Hawaiian culture, defined by the pre-contact status under King Kamehameha. This is the State's definition. There are two people here who don't seem to get it or want to get it, but Native Hawaiian and native Hawaiian are defined by the State. (Upper Case) Native Hawaiian is some one born in Hawaii with 50% direct ancestry to the ohana alive at the time of King Kamehameha, or 50% blood quantum. Hawaii is very different from the Native Americans because they had census taken from almost the beginning. The Ancestral Ohana Names are well documented. For now, verifiable ancestral heritage is the most used, DNA only starting to be used. (Lower Case) native Hawaiian is anybody born in Hawaii, with accompanied state right, without 50% blood quantum. The State often announces they are only in stewardship of these lands until they are returned to the Native Hawaiians. The top of Mauna Kea is Ancestral Kanu'ana Aina, kapu to even talk about.


Why do you assume that most Canadians hate their jobs and want to retire?

Of all people, the poor would be the least likely to want to retire early since they would not hav been able to save enough money to travel, etc in their retirement.

Retiring from work only to stare at four walls is not very good for mental or physical health.


The final judgment, the rapture, et al are myths.  When we are judged, it is us and God. No cast of thousands.  The main thing in our lives, by the way is finding God in the poor, the uneducated and the gay.

Wills is an accomplished scripture scholar.  His Greek is better than most.  It takes intellectual strength to read sources you disagree with.  Sadly, he is afflicted with the gift of prophesy (not soothsaying, but speaking out).  That is never convenient.


Dear Mr. McLeod - the game was played in Baltimore!
Early season jitters cost the BJs this game - Donaldson misses a grounder to third; Pillar and Carrera watch a ball drop between them for a double.   Embarrassing.

No.

Do you have anything, anything at all, intelligent to say about my post?

Did I get any of my facts wrong and if so what were they?

I wish Trump's children would persuade him that he is not physically up to the stress so he could retire to a sanatorium somewhere...

I think you missed the part where Canada's high tech CEOs think Trump will be good for foreign recruitment here in Canada.  A better destination for the best and the brightest, whether they wear a Niquab or not.

That might mean more competition in the short run for Canadian High Tech Grads, though if we become a major hub of activity that won't be an issue.


The last swamp was too small...and had too many peasants...


What do you think happens when demand increases and supply stays the same?  (prices rise, its called inflation)  What is your answer?  More highways?

Fact remains Oahu has a major problem when it comes to mobility.  The mayor has tried to address this with mass transit and bike lanes but what would you do?  It is always easy to be so negative and critical but what would you do?  I suggest anything you would propose would just maike the situation worse.  We really need to just get the system built.


When I got my car back I noticed they put the right side tires on the left side and vice versa. The ingrates refused to put the tires on the right way again.


My tolerance for pious drivel has evaporated.....intend to call it out every time I see/hear it from now on....


Lol speaking of Saudi Arabia. Take a guess who the geniuses at UN just elected to the woman's rights commission. You truly can't make up this ass backwards thinking from these jokes. Calls to Ottawa to prevent this disaster will go unanswered by our prime minister I suspect. Can't get a seat on the UN by standing up to them.  I'll be patiently waiting for a g&m report.


Insurance coverage might be a killer.


Sorry, but U.S. credibility was shot once our voters elected a clueless, racist, sexist, incompetent, narcissistic reality show host as our president. Nice job Trump voters.


Depending on the situation, you don't have to be mean and rude all the time. Actually, Trump should learn from Clinton or Obama, keep a smiling face while stabbing you at the back. LOL!


Hillary Clinton: not a terrorist but the #1 choice OF terrorists, Libyan rebels, Iranian Mullahs, ISIS, Big Finance, Big Pharma, Big government and the Political Class, BLM (proven racists), illegal immigrants, and of course the anti-white/male ambiguously guilty self-loathing liberals.


Nations and civilizations have a right to maintain their cultures and belief systems.
If the Pope feels so strongly about this issue, then why doesn't he give to the refugees the empty convents, schools, seminaries, and churches, all over Europe, due to the collapse of Christianity, so they can live in dignity.
He doesn't do this, does he?
The Catholic Church should also have to pay taxes to help support all the unwanted and poor children born because birth control and abortion isn't available in so may places around the world because of the Church.
The pope needs to start walking the talk, and stop telling others what they must do.


The Democratic governor offered to rescind the order if lawmakers agreed to consider the issue when they return in January, but GOP leaders rejected the suggestion.


How old are you That's Lifer?
A cantankerous old man or an ill educated six year old?


Hope they enjoy being raped in prison themselves.


The avowed White Supremacist gets thrown under the bus by his fellow ideologue.  Precious.  Time for a Revolution.


For someone that claims to hold a Masters degree you sure seem pretty dim. Maybe your education was in Libtard feminist studies in the 13th grade equivalent education at UH?  LOL

Allah is the Arabic word for God, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Christians also believe in God, right? LOL


Anarchists and communists are hardly representative of the "people"

Cannot understand all the fuss, just another Liberal being a Liberal. The corruption and malfeasance endemic to this party are its core values..


I probably don't know enough people to have heard Trump's kind of repulsive boorish talk all that much. Trump's implication that most men (all "real" men?) act this way is among the worst insults I can imagine. Having taught middle school, when I would hear a nasty or derogatory comment about Mexicans or girls or gay people or Asians or even some other student, we'd stop the class and talk. And talk, and talk. About civil rights. About each other. About how we are all different and we need to protect how we treat each other. It has to be very clear that this is not acceptable in our school and society. One point is that getting this straight is more important than covering the class material. Similarly, among adults, when this kind of talk happens, you have to say that's not acceptable, that's an ugly way to think and talk, and then leave the group. This is standing up for what is right.


It was a "state sponsored riot". The Charlottesville Mayor, police and civic leaders "green lighted" the violent confrontations. They facilitated the riot by the police arraying themselves on three sides and letting the mutual combatants engage in hundreds of cases of felony assaults. Hundreds. The abject lawlessness was designed to serve the most morally bankrupt purposes. To foment public violence as the "Resistance". We also note that virtually no one was arrested. Scores and scores of people engage on the most reprehensible violence and it's just another day in Charlottesville. Or Berkeley, CA. Or Chicago, IL.

Now the WN, KKK, et al, had their social media moment. Rather than allowing the nitwits to march, in accordance with the lawful permit, the 1st A, and SCOTUS case law, the political leaders chose violence. If I don't agree with someone's views I can physically assault them? We reap what we sow.


It just comes pouring out of her and she can never back it up.


Not Henry Rono, but that's some very solid running.


In other words, you couldn't.


If you're looking for cookbooks that "went viral" before the internet, and are still used by millions today, I can think of three others: "The James Beard Cookbook" by James Beard, "The Joy of Cooking" by Julia Child, and of course,  "The Escoffier Cookbook..." by Auguste Escoffier


YOUR NEWSPAPER WOULD BE SOMETHING HITTLER WOULD LOVE, ITS FULL OF HATE, RACISM, FAKE NEWS, SHIT AGAINST THE WALL. WHY WOULD YOU KEEP BRINGING UP HILLARY, WHEN WE WILL SOON HAVE TRUMP INDICTED, WILL YOUR PAPER ASK HIM BE ACCOUNTABLE , HELL NO. YOU DREAM OF A ONE ORDER NATION, AND SOMETIMES WHAT YOU WISH FOR IS NOT ALL THAT YOU ENVISION. YOUR PAPER MAKES ME SICK.


I missed the pun, but Hydrogen fuel cells are the wave of the future. There is a large investment going in. Toyota and Amazon are two examples. Fuel cells can power homes, farm equipment, and all sorts of specialized machinery.


"Clark also touted previous promises to eliminate (the) unpopular msp,  cap bridge tolls at $500 annually... and create a new tax credit for people living in communities that are dependent on BC Ferries."

The Liberals are promising to cap bridge tolls at $500, however they have not said that they may well tax all crossings to make up for the lost revenue. Some pay less, and some pay that never paid before.

MSP premiums were raised by the BC Liberals past the point of equitable fairness (considering politicians and public sector workers have their premiums  employer paid). The BC Liberals may well eliminate premiums, but no guarantee this will not be made up for by an income tax levy similar to Ontario.

Tax credit for islanders dependent on the ferry.  Define dependence, will this apply to Vancouver Island or just smaller Islands?  And of course tax credits are of little use to the lowest of earners.

Don't cast your vote because you think last minute promises will save you money.


A pathetic and laughable defense.  I am a Thomist myself, but Thomas also was against the Immaculate Conception.  The question that needs to be answered is, "Are you changing the Church's magisterial teaching on the reception of Communion for those who are not married and engaging in the conjugal act?".  There is a Thomist answer for that, but Francis avoids it.


OMG, will the trumpster EVER stop LYING?
He is mentally unstable, in a very dangerous way.


Recognition goes both ways.


When the moose have just had their calves dogs need to be on leash.


We have a chance to pass better laws than that.


But Cassandra, for years you have made it clear that you hated the Conservatives.

Are you now saying that if the Conservatives did something that it should be emulated by the Liberals?

What happened to Real Change TM? Was it all a big lie?


That's true but the current influx would have happened even without welfare states. All western countries are facing it regardless of how the welfare system is set up.


This incident shows how Israel will compromise
but the Palestinians are extremely stubborn
never move an inch in peace talks
even though they are the losers of 3 wars they started in 1948, 1967, 1973
the losers want to dictate terms - since when?


Whatboutism at it's finest.


and so it begins..... so many fires burning for the Libranos and so little time before the election


Yes, Kaleo, mindfulness practice, movement-based therapies and progressive increase in activity level over MANY weeks is often necessary before safe and sustainable return to full-functioning following significant injury. Pain is best controlled when tissues are maximally healed. Until then, we need an intact (undisturbed) pain response to guide our activity and sense our tissue limits in real time. Over-riding this with quick-fix narcotics is a prescription for delayed healing. This impatient, short-cut approach often costs health plans and employers far more in the long run due to poorly healed tissues, scarring, increased reliance on expensive health care (Dr. visits, meds, injections, tests, surgeries) lower job performance, intermittent mental clouding, irritable and depressed mood, chronic pain, and addiction. It is a sad reflection on the U.S. medical community that this has become our standard of care and contributed to misery, mortality and exploding health costs. Very Sad.


Fuel has never been more then 30% of the cost of any of my F series trucks.


Why do you need to bring your racist bent here?  NOT COOL!


Fake News - Vets have come out w/they do not approve.


The same in principle would also apply with driving a car to work. There are definite risks involved any time we get into our cars and out in traffic. People die every single day from all kinds of automobile accidents.

Still, it does not stop us from using our cars to go out wherever and whenever we wish. We all recognize that the benefits of using our automobiles far outweigh those risks, even though there are indeed definite risks.

Blood transfusions are absolutely no different! Yes there are risks, there is no denying that. But when a human being finds himself in the position of needing one, at that point in his life, most likely the slight risks involved are far outweighed by the benefits.

In many cases, it even means life and death.


Tom, I have deep relationships with several charismatic Catholics who bring a very special gift to the Church. My faith is more important to me than my politics and I find support for my political beliefs from my faith, just as you do. Faith is the more important thing, though. I disagree with you strenuously when you write that liberals don't vote on moral issues; we do, taking health care away from millions of people, some of them little babies, is anti-life and the repeal of Alabama Senator William Steagall's significant legislative accomplishment (Glass-Steagall), which came about because people's well being was threatened by Great Depression, was a terrible assault on hard working Americans,which Mrs. Clinton was complicit with. Liberals are generally moral and we vote on moral issues, just as our conservative brethren are generally moral and vote on moral issues. And your perspective is valued and unique. We are blessed to have it and better for it.


there are a few Lib apologist's on the board defending this foolishness.
they probably work for the civil service using all their sick days and retiring on a not so well deserved pension.


“It is amusing, the degree to which the teacher in the photo appears out of her league,”

I'd prefer the death penalty but life in prison is the next best thing.


That's hilarious!


I'm not surprised.  The 8 is barely a 7s and given the price differences and how good the 7 still is there is little reason for consumers on budgets to pick the 8 over the 7.

Re the X, I'm not so sure this will work out for Apple.  besides the fact their production and availability numbers this year won't be up to whatever mythical demand they are anticipating, the cost just seems too high, and the incremental technology just seems to little, for them to make up the difference in new X handset sales.  I've been a fast upgrader since the first colour blackberry, but in this case don't see any reason to update to the 8 or X from the 7 even though I have a carrier credit available (particularly since even with that credit it will still cost like 1k to get into the X with enough memory.)


Not surprising that you would feel SFI was "on the right track" here...
LOL


Another irrelevant hypothetical.


No quibbling from me about whatever shortcomings there might have been with Peter Mansbridge. Overall, he has always been a consummate professional .  The National has always been the best TV newscast in North America ( and also the UK from what I have seen) in terms of presentation and reporting.
However Mansbridge's retirement is likely the end of an era. The major evening  news format has become outdated. No-one wants to wait for a set time each day to find out from one figurehead person what is going on at home and around the world. The 24/7 News channels are much more relevant to people now.  So kudo's to the CBC for looking at a different way of delivering the daily news. I hope that includes seeing the CBC break more stories that matter to all Canadians.. The taxpayers deserve it.  Right now it seems like the Globe and Mail is doing most of the work in that department.
Enjoy your retirement Peter! You deserve it. You have served all of us very well.


"Anti-nuclear friends of mine remind me that several simultaneous melt downs could release enough radiation to dramatically reduce human birth rates and populations."

Problem solved.  Malthus wins after all!


Yes good points on the back up catcher.  But the fact that the Jays had a revolving door of back ups that ranged from  horrid to terrible to garbage shows they knew they had an issue which they failed to address.  They signed Salty, got rid of him, brought him back and then dumped him again.

On the injuries thing, this team got off to a garbage start with a full and healthy line up.  Once the injuries started, they had an excuse for the lousiness.  But the order of events is important.


GROSS


The Alaska pipeline traverses a wilderness lacking in people.  The environmental costs continue to mount from both ends.  The EXXON-VALDEX in one event literally destroyed an ecosystem for the short term and continues to destroy many species.  The pipeline was monitored throughout the building to require the safest possible construction by government oversight and environmental activists.  Government monitoring provided more jobs than the pipeline. Many spills including the explosion of one station occurred soon after startup and continue to occur as more workers are jettisoned to monitor.  One rifle slug punched a hole in it.  The DAPL is accessible throughout by roads and in highly populated areas.  Rich farmlands abound and all depend on water.  One spill could be disastrous as none of the safety factors built into the AK pipeline exist in lower 48 pipelines.  Multiple spills and blowouts have occurred as safety is secondary to profit.  ND oil is toxic and highly flammable.


If the criteria for Cooperstown was perseverance and hard work, Rusty Staub would have been a first ballot Hall of Famer, but I stand corrected, he is in the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame only - not Cooperstown.

Believe Carter wanted to go in the Hall as a Met.

Dawson definitely wanted to go in as a Cub.

Raines should probably ask to go in with the Yankees or ChiSox.


Would the jesus allow the souls of the corrupt politicians, who are bribed to cause suffering to the less fortunate, in order to bring continued richness to the well monied, to go to their paradise in their heaven? How about the souls of the people who support the corrupt politicians? What kind of christianity do the evangelicals believe in if their beliefs are completely 180 degrees opposite of what their icon jesus, believed in? What kind of heaven do they go to when they die?


The city was never "financially stable" with you at the helm, Dan, and I see you're as delusional out of office as in.

I commented on the topic of Radical Islamic Terrorism and Muslims in a very civil manner and you chime in with a vicious, nasty attack on my person.

I'll say a prayer for your hate filled soul, eric.

It is not in America's, or Canada's, interest in providing drug cartels, who now essentially run Mexico,  easy access across the border.


"Some half baked and completely false conspiracy that had nothing to do with any actual John Podesta email that had been released?"
You were given a citation that demonstrates to the otherwise and yet you continue to maintain that the two are not connect or "nothing to do with?"

"I expanded on Joe Smith's point about the hysteria of the left."
Let me see if I understand you correctly.  You admit that what you said is not _directly_ related or "does not derive from" what Joe Smith raised but is related and thus is not a straw man argument even if, it is at best, tangential to his point?

I'm sorry.  I cannot take you seriously as it seems you 1) continue to try to maintain a position that you have been presented record evidence is unmaintainable; and 2) You continue to raise irrelevant arguments like "Obama's administration lack of concern."  You seem eager to discuss any manner of tangential issue but the ones raised, ie. you have every intention of not staying topical.


Far and away the most expensive government program in Canada is health care.  The Canadian system is costly, inefficient and performs poorly. Many other countries, including Germany, have better systems because they permit the private sector to provide primary health care, while in Canada it is illegal.   Why not an article about how the German health care system is better than Canada's, and what Canada can do to catch up with Germany?


JoeC: In this case, the management of the Board of Game, is handcuffs. Protection is a kind warning.


Maybe rather than moving to plug leaks, T-rump & Company could concentrate on not doing/saying anything 'leak-worthy'.

I grew up in Nome in the '50s. I never saw any such signs.

From me: 1953. I never forgot that sign in a Front Street restaurant window/front door. I never will. Dad was a Corrections Officer at the old Federal Prison with Bonn Davis and Jim Oksoktaurak. I was 10-years old.
And we weren't allowed in the Nomerama Theater either. You must have a selective memory about the racism and bigotry there, the worst I ever seen in my life.


yup...no surplus at all..just massive state debt


Why don't we let Ms. Clark say what she will about herself?  She stated publicly on a radio program that she considered it a compliment to be referred to by a crude, vulgar acronym for a mother who is considered to be carnally interesting.

Couth she is not.


You want to block the people who don't belong here from coming in??

So does most of the U.S. and Europe.


Big BS on this comment.  There most certainly ARE fractivists involved in writing and getting this on the ballot.   They show up all over the north metro area regularly spewing lies and trying to scare communities into banning oil and gas.

Quit lying and trying to present this as anything other than what it clearly is.   It is yet another illegal attempt to ban fracking and oil and gas operations by a small group of activists.


These numbers are fake news. Trump told us so last year more than once. If you can't believe President Trump who can you believe.(sarcasm)


I'm glad the police are taking that stuff out of circulation. That is some nasty weed.


1. The bus stops at the next stop when you pull the cord.
2. The bus driver goes the speed limit in my experience.
3. Cash slows things down. I'm glad the driver doesn't have to try to count out change for everyone who gets on the bus with a $20 bill.
4. People Mover doesn't hand out bus passes at Beans Cafe.

And finally, the bus system is a good back up if your car ever breaks down or if you ever get tired of trying to find parking downtown. Kill the system and no one has any alternatives and has to drive. Then we get to listen to you complain about traffic. No pleasing some people.


Not too long ago a number like that would rattle the markets, but what's $20B for the printing press these days?


He forgot to thank the guy who found his ball on the 13th. :-)


Glad it all worked our.


They don't have to continue to support them. Just stop buying tickets and paying for cable TV.


Ah, a juvenile ad hominem attack!

You're really elevating your game.

Perhaps your most impressive post to-date.


But you voted for Trudeau who is racking up larger deficits faster and not during a recession and besides Harper had a minority and the deficit spending was also voted on by Iggy and Layton who also wanted even more spending during the recession. So what is Trudeau's reason for his non recession spending. Chris, project for example Trudeau's $30 billion 1 year deficit over 9 years (how long Harper was PM) and you are up at $210 billion with no balancing of the books until sometime in the 2050s. Harper deficits through a world recession are bad but of course Trudeau's deficits not during a recession are good, too funny!


"probably" being the operative word.  Gun owners are a special class.


When you make a claim and don't back it up with proof, it is absolutely necessary. Apparently this is too hard for you, so we'll assume you're just making stuff up.


Yikes!

I only know about it from NYT articles and my older brother

But it is used as an example, and who doesn't know about Bill mazeroski


I would rather see the "average period of enjoyable living" life expectancy.   Canada is the worst in the OECD for degenerative disease rates, and this would pull down the "average period of enjoyable living" number, but not the "life expectancy" number.

I'm into seeing people who are alive enjoying their lives as much as possible.   Improving our approach to degenerative disease prevention and management would play a big role in that.


Frank Colitivito, I agree with you on many things.  I was against SB 21 and offered the 77/ 7 plan that Ken Alper liked!

What will help the smaller oil competitors? HB 247 is like the baby and the water, save the baby! The CBC is  smart!

The oil glut is “a real emergency” and that is why the oil companies provided most the Constitutional budget to protect the state’s main income getter from emergencies like this Saudi market & price manipulation!

Use this CBR fund to save the oil and gas Indusrty that HB 247 is trying to kill!

It will kill Alaska’s economy and shut down TAPS and cause the people to lose all the Permanent fund in a few short years!

Not one Alaskan or smaller company has found and sold oil at a profit, do you see a problem with that? Help Alaskans and smaller oil companies fairly compete and stop the big three monopoly & the CBC!

The DNR increase leases terms 8,000% to keep the smaller competitors out for the majors, what can we do?


Really? Well I believe that Ukraine is an independent country and should remain one. I believe that most Canadians would agree with that. Where I disagree with Freeland, and the current and former federal governments is in their steadfast support of the current bogus Ukrainian government and its unwillingness to embrace its Russian-speaking population in the East and South. At the very least, our government should be making its support contingent on a more inclusive approach by the Kyiv government. As to Crimea, forget it, it will stay with Russia of which it was a part until Khrushchev moved it from one SSR to another for purely political reasons internal to the USSR. Nobody is going to fight a war with Russia to get Crimea back into Ukraine, it's just posturing.


".... lifts the veil of secrecy from these political events, requiring them to be transparent, open to public scrutiny and reported to Canadian..."

Sounds like something that should be implemented for all the grants for fn's, so the members of the tribe can find out where their money is going and why their services are falling apart..

oh, wait.....


You and Trump have a lot in common.


Sorry sport, but I had nothing to do with the tragedy in Vegas and, as such, have no reason to "fork out some compensation". You want to blame someone?


Depends on weather and what face of the mountain one is on vs. nearby signals mainly from ski resorts and towns.

Yosemite Valley had 4 bar reception last time I was there 12 years ago.


This situation points out the inefficiency inherent in the Initiative Process.  White the right to petition the government is an essential right, the initiative process has been compared to adjusting a wristwatch with a sledgehammer.  It is woefully unable to deal with complex social issues such as this which should be addressed in a deliberative process which was provided to Alaskans by their Constitution.   Seldom do groups or individuals resort to the Initiative process when there exists a functioning legislature; however when you have a "do-nothing" legislature (like guess where) that refuses to deal with the public's business in an open forum of debate leading to a final resolution of an issue,  you can expect more of this.


I read that the charges go back to 2012 and 2013 regarding tax and money laundry issues. I’m not surprised when you can go back to unrelated events if you are given such a wide latitude. Mueller should be fired not focusing on the Russian issue and wasting taxpayers money. So far, nothing on Russian collusion.


Columbus was basically 'lost' in the  largest sense.   His accomplishment would be more 'monumental' if he had had more of a clue as to where he was!

And he was continuing the European conquest of the non-European  world which had been going on for several centuries by that time.  Holding him to our more effete standards of behavior some 500 years later is ludicrous in the extreme.

History is history.  People like Selina Taylor need to learn from it and get over it!


"If, however, the Liberals pick up one or more seats in recounts, that will render the almost 60 per cent of B.C. voters who did not pick the Liberals irrelevant, with 40-some per cent of those who cast ballots holding 100 per cent of the legislative power. First-past-the-post has got to go."

  Exactly.
    Add the 44% who could not honestly hold their nose and vote for the least of the corrupt corporate parties, and you have some 80% of BCers who did not want the illiberal "Liberals".
  Add the underage ineligible to vote but who predominantly would not have voted for "Liberals" and you get about 90% of British Columbians who want the "Liberals" out of government. We are the largest  discounted oppressed majority in Canada.

Wake up! You've missed a couple of decades.


Good.  So we shouldn't have US Catholic dioceses praising religious bigotry.  You agree with that, yes?


IRTValleyIsle57, they must stand at "attention".  Nothing to do with the military and all to do with respect, for some 2 minutes and 15 seconds, as the National Anthem is presented.  Imua.


Sarcasm right?

If not, do you seriously believe that this sad breathtakingly puerile “I hate Trump” tantrum is what passes for journalism?


Oh, please.
This is what a working President looks like.

Not surprised this is coming from a paper that has proved itself to be a big huge joke.


I'll reread your comment when I encounter you arguing with Mike AA, Steven Shea, PetrusRomanus2, or one of your other buds and respond more positively.


It can be inferred from the welfare clause, just like "offense" is inferred from the defense clause.  Also, there is no mention of a right to privacy, though most interpret various clauses as providing that.  There is no right to marry, but courts have recognized that marriage is a portal to other rights.

"Murderous drones, and disastrous toppling of Libya?"  You would have been livid if the President had not done everything in his power to defeat our enemies.  Do you also complain about his mission to get Osama binLaden?  Funny how you folks rant about the "liberal" NY Times, but quote it when it serves your purpose.

Our country has a disastrous records as "sadistic war-maker," indeed.  Consider yourself outed.


I believe the thread you're looking for is found at Oregonlive.

They'll be more than happy to play with you.


Great, Canada is already governed by an economic imbecile in Trudeau.  Now we can have people who can't scrape up a refundable $1,000 wanting to run the country.

I think the judge is incorrect.  Signatures are required from 100 individuals.  If those who sign think so little of the wannabe candidate's policies and reasons for running that they won't contribute a refundable $10 each, then the "frivolous candidate" threshold has been met.


That is SUCCESS to Cladwall.  That is $400K more to pay off a contractor to the build the useless bulbouts that no one wanted except the homless and now another $400K to remove them!  Cladwall for Gov!


typical left wing bs again eh miller, he is clearly talking about the land slide majority winner in college votes mr trump, hey pal, now tell us how trudeau having one with less than a majority of voters is legitimate now? come on!!!!!


Interestingly much of rural Arkansas just outside Little Rock - Bill Clinton's home town - is sad looking and dilapidated, much like as described in this article. However as the Clinton foundation pours millions into Africa, not a dime form Clinton's charity is spent in America's own backyard. Paul Theroux described it well in his book 'Deep South' where the living conditions he experienced in that part of the US was as worse as what he saw in his many travels through the poorest parts of Africa.


Canadian government should just give into the Americans and increase stumpage taxes ...........
This excess tax could be rebated to Canadians and not to American exports
..............It could be called "Trumpage stumpage"


Funny how opinions can be so different.  I appreciate Russia's efforts to aid the official Syrian government and considered America's aid to revolutionary factions in the country to be suspiciously imperialistic.


It should be noted that the Alberta Court of Appeal upheld Judge Camp's original decision to acquit the defendant of sexual assault.  Judge Robin Camp made no legal error; his mistake was using politically incorrect words.  For that, he has been hounded-out of his job.  Basically he's a scapegoat.


actually, when you run for office, are a member of a political party, engage in fundraising for that, and/or base your image and your existence off your political pronouncements, you are in fact a politician.  Just parading around saying you're not a politician amounts to absolutely nothing---And believing it amounts to far less


The entire Republican platform consists of two words, "Obama bad".


Israel has no choice.
For its own honour it must turn its back on ungrateful America.

You're obviously  suffering from post-election denial.  Get over it.


"but it was Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government this spring that approved the export of the combat vehicles despite Canadian arms-control rules warning about sending weapons to human-rights abusers."

So despite protests by Cassandra and her fellow travelers that is the Tories who are responsible it was in fact Trudeau and his Liberals that had final say on this and they chose money over human rights.


"It's basic human nature to congregate with people you have more in common with. Not sure why some people keep trying to fight basic human nature."

....an argument every white supremacist -- oops, white segregationist! --  makes.


What is the price of righting a wrong & exposing the truth. Deniers of the truth & Americans in general like to only focus on the so-called "good" that America does or brings. Americans do NOT like hearing of all the evils that it has done the world over!

NEWS FLASH! Karma is coming...

Is anyone else tired of paying the rescue bills?


well done - wishing you lots of success!

Fact.


Economics 101 teaches us that as the price rises the demand falls and visa versa.  Pretty simple stuff.  If a company were selling just about anything and had excess supply and all forecasts are that that excess supply will continue to exist into the foreseeable future the obvious answer is to REDUCE prices in order to increase demand.  So why have the shockingly incompetent Liberals continued to increase the prices (i.e. decrease the demand) while they have excess supply?


Insurance companies would certainly benefit from your proposed system, but I'm not sure anyone else will. Shifting the medical expenses for chronically ill patients from Obamacare to Medicare won't lower those expenses, it would just change how you pay for them. You, as insurance customer, might not pay, but you, as taxpayer, would. That would be one way to get more young, healthy people to contribute to their medical expenses.


I have never heard so many stupid comments on an article. You wanted it legal so live with the rules


CHOOT EM!!! There's plenty of bears out there- If ya gotta kill one in town to protect our place on the food chain; then so be it. Stop whining about the 'poor bear'. Aint no different tha killing a pesky mosquito...


Wow!  Strike One for the good guys - and there are several of them in this story.  Thanks to each of you!  Alaska Strong.


It would appear that this is a very good program that not only includes using multiple reliable references but also hands on data gathering to reinforce the information.


simply because you have cancer doesn't give you a free reign to distort my point about pain. There are two ways that some people respond here..."exception proves the rule"...and "my condition proves the rule". 2 for 2.

Read Salvifici Dolores to better understand the proper Christian understanding of pain, which is at great variance from your view.

There is a spectrum of pain & Church teaching accommodates all points in the spectrum beautifully.  None of my points depart from this teaching.

Some forms of "ordinary pain" (getting up, common colds, twisted ankles,  applying exactitude to finish a job well, sore necks, stiff backs, tingly fingers from stenosis, etc.) are perfect examples where a Christian can brace up a bit, & draw closer to union with Jesus in that moment of pain.    Offering the little pain for reparation, in thanksgiving, etc.

It takes a bit of practice; but the intimacy with Christ is dear.

More extraordinary pain can be managed with prudent use of pallitatives


net is closing in...big fish to be snagged pretty soon...waiting...


Has anyone ever said NO to this man?


"Almost all of their traditional lands are already heavily logged, but they have managed over 15 years to reach a series of agreements with the government to set aside nearly two-thirds of the 13,000-square-kilometre Broadback Forest."

For scale, this is a little larger than the GTA, and 0.5% of Quebec's surface area.


In Alabama a man has been posing as police and has been accused of rape. So yeah I would not trust some random guy on a motorcycle.


You realize Trump is running as a Republican not a democrat right John? Or are you trying to rewrite history.


what is sick and delusional are nut jobs like you , if people like teachers had guns perhaps they could of stopped that sandy hook before it started you ignorant idiot,, you are the totaly sick delusional idiot


Harper knew nothing.. Thats why he's stuck at Lake Louise at this time drinking tea with Allison.


How police actions are there in a year ? You cite one or two very unfortunate accidents and try to create a pattern out of them,  this is utter nonsense. Does anyone on this site take any of your posts seriously ?


true in sick delusional haters minds like you lunatic,


I believe thats the disease of the left.


Thank you. And yes to wanting, insisting on a "responsible government, balanced budgets, lower taxes and regulations, and a GDP growing at 4-5%, and they'll vote out every Establishment Republican up for re-election -- the same people who opposed Trump in the primaries -- to get it."

Absolutely yes. You can count on me for that.


You live under a rock. Stay there.


He was FIFTEEN feet away while simply carrying what THEY thought was a stick, and for that the officer felt such FEAR he decided lethal force was necessary?  And they wonder why people fear and despise themselves?  Unfortunately it's a cinch this will be his claim in court, and of course this murderous cop will walk free.


I already answered them and they have nothing to do with Trump. Pay attention and quit shifting subjects. I've read what Trump has said and sir, if you don't think Trump is is a misogynist, a liar, xenophobic, and a hateful racist, then you have a serious problem. "If you really look at his comments...", "Women are dogs", "just look at that face", "Mexicans are rapists", etc. Now answer my question - why do you support this behavior?


No Bob, both you and the ADN, Wapo, etc. can and do say anything you want no matter how out of touch, wrong, poorly  informed or off topic. It's just tiring, Give the new prez  a chance.  He won for a reason.


Not quite sure what this 20 % means. Middle class households pay 13% (Ontario HST). Property taxes payroll tax and excise taxes are not income taxes. I'm not disputing the fiqure but I wonder if it has any meaning on its own.


There is a reasonable expectation of security that was being met here. Driving a vehicle through a doorway is not something that is easily guarded against.

Better question-what do you propose should be the punishment for those caught and convicted of these types of smash and grabs, like the kids caught in the other case? Are you for extremely harsh mandatory sentencing?


The ontario economy in jobs is so far down from when they were first elected never mind the crash in 08, they own the mess we are in and are doing nothing but more harm to our jobs and economy every day. we have had very low can dollar and still cant turn things around here while the ROC seams to be doing just that such the ontario liberals being the most corrupt and incompetent government in our history owns our mess


Guess it's only WWE, tractor pulls and Nascar for the trumpians from now on.


Because it's a big name possible stealing should be swept under the carpet ?  What's next---you think it was ok that another big name got busted with drugs at the airport and he should have been given special treatment as well ?   With every new day we are seeing the Iditarod and everyone involved aren't the good people or hero's they are portrayed to be.


Please. Republicans, where they are in charge, are just as corrupt as Democrats. Our problem is single party rule by Democrats, with no one watching them. The best thing we could do would be to oust Brown and turn over one House of the legislature to the Republican's. Even then, my inside observation is that you'd still need to watch them like hawks. The Largest newspaper is worthless as the Fourth Estate. The RG does a fair job, but needs more reporters and money.


She does have a point.  If Americans were better educated perhaps not so many of them would have fallen for the Amway scam that helped make her a billionaire.

Talk about elite.  Do you think this lady has EVER gone through the TSA body grope at an airport?  No.  She gets whisked right through security to her private jet.  Has she ever personally done a load of laundry?  Of course not.  Worked till midnight at some crappy job on her feet dealing with rude customers?  Dream on.  Education?  Her kids, if she has any, went to the finest private schools out there - never rubbed elbows with kids like yours.  And they'll grow up to be billionaires themselves without ever having earn it.

Welcome to the new America, little fella.  Did you dream for one instant that Trump was going to change that?  Sucker.


Obviously the jury agrees with you. When I watched the video I took into account the amount of adrenaline  that would have been flowing through me if I were the officer and believed he did not necessarily want to kick the rider so hard. Had he wrestled the man to the ground and broken a rib would you feel the same?
Either way the state should have settled this long before it went to trial - a trial lawyer once told me that big firms settle with big firms but fight with small firms - as the state did in this case - making it prohibitively expensive to risk losing for a small firm.


You're a f-----g idiot like your moron of a president. Just can't let it go no wonder your wife,left you or is about to. No common sense plus decency equals loner.


As I have stated many, many times before...

"War crimes" are joke. International justice is dead.

No one who's truly responsible for their megadeathcrimes will ever be brought to justice--Bush, Bush, Putin, Assad, Kim, Xi, Trump...none of them.

"War crimes"? 'Tis to laugh (sadly, to be sure, but 'tis to laugh).


Charge the US significantly more for hydroelectricity and water.


Yeah nearly 2 million CanadianS are out of work and youth unemployment is at 27% maybe you should learn math, read and stop being an ass. The temporary foreign worker program needs to be abolished and the TFWS *sent home* ON THE COMPANIES DIME.


Really?  I've never heard those before.  Seriously, do you have any original thoughts, or are you just a mouthpiece?  Your comment is nothing but one, big cliche taken from chapter 21 of the handbook.


I wonder how 'African' the countries bordering the Mediterranean really feel..... perhaps though Dik-o should ponder on why so many people don't trust the ANC, least of all in the W Cape.


Trump is a super dumb ass mental case who will get all of us on this planet killed, or do it himself. Please white folks, come to your senses and choose another Great White Hope. We (brown and black folks) mean ya'lls no harm


Well, the extra level of insult is that not only is your spouse having it off with someone else, but with ...one of THOSE PEOPLE.  Plays into a few stereotypes about black males, too.


Oh great.  More brinkmanship and sabre-rattling from the party of peace and love.

Even if Russia did release the information to Wikileaks, I think that the population had a right to know about the corruption inside the DNC.  Any good journalist would have done the same since Watergate.

None of this hyperbolic outrage changes the fact that the population was pretty well-informed when they made their choices at the polling station.


Why are we trying to stop people from using cocaine?  I hear it's something they like.


The Anti-Trump Faction is dragggin' that chain across the bottom in a futile attempt to find something that isn't there.  Once again they will fail.


That is easy to say when ARE " from afar" What about thise losing thier livelyhoods? After eight years of being unable to work I finally found a reason to get out of bed in the morning-the clay studio at the community center. With time I could have perhaps made a living at it. As it was, it was somewhere to go and because of this I just happened to be in the right place at the right time and found an employer who was willing to work with my physical limitations. I lost that job to Amazon; not presumably, actually. No one comes to the store, they only buy off Amazon so they couldn't afford anyone to work at the counter. It was a huge disappointment but at least I had the clay studio. Well, now that is being taken away too.

Many people have a good reason to complain. It is not just about the noise.


It is true that 'getting pregnant' always involves sexual intercourse.  Conservatives are not content with restricting abortion, they also would restrict contraception and education about how one becomes pregnant.  Insisting that a female can always control whether she gets pregnant is very ignorant.


The ethics commissioner should ban Khan from dealing with the Canadian government. Khan should receive no more money from the Canadian taxpayer. This is blatant corruption and another Trudeau lie.


You must not be good at math or not making much money then. Check out Mr. Money Mustache, you'll see that with a 50% savings rate you should be able to retire in 17 years.


You can justify this if you are a fat white overweight bigot, or it seems like it anyway from the looks of these two, lol


You're not interested, you're just here to speak up for your hero and king Obama. I'm sorry if the truth hurts but from a guy who once said he would "unite the country" he's done the absolute opposite. Come out from the basement and look around a bit Ivan!


Is ADN finally interested in WTF's really going on, with the oil giveaway?


I think you need a better understanding of the law.

If your house was broken into and robbed, and the crook was never found and prosecuted, do you really think that means you weren't the victim of a crime?

Or do you think there should be a different standard for victims of sexual assault -- that we should deny there was a crime unless someone is convicted?


This precedes Trump so your argument is invalid.  Also, it wasn't just one guy. Do you even watch football?

And if it's not such a big deal why don't they just stand the hell up instead of bringing politics into an arena it doesn't belong in? Just play f**king football.


I love this man


It was just weeks and days before the election we were told there was no way any hacker could infiltrate our ballots to the extent they would have any significant affect on the outcome. So why now are so many losing their minds about that very possibility? I can't say I'm excited Trump is the Pres-E, but I am so relieved HRC isn't.


I share this view.


Let's stop being so judgmental here. Who among us hasn't done the same thing? And more than once!


That's pure awesome!


It is a shame that Ms. Hanabusa made the decision to move ahead with a run for the CD 1 seat when there is so much that needs to be done at HART. As I stated in a previous post, I am disappointed that she didn’t choose, instead, to continue to serve at HART Chair until the issues currently surrounding the multi-billion dollar program were resolved. This lack of commitment to complete a job is weighing a great deal on me as a resident of CD 1, as well as as a voter who is evaluating Ms. Hanabusa for this job. The editorial should have been written where Civil Beat calls out Ms. Hanabusa to complete her task here before finding another job to do.


Coming soon to a neighborhood near you. . .


Excellent point. The former deals with facts and salient details; the latter leans on supposition and speculation to embellish a preferred narrative. The second is not quite William Randolph Hearst vowing to "furnish the war" -- itself an apocryphal tale to some who study media manipulation -- but it still provides a convenient foundation upon which to act for those so inclined. History in a hurry has a way of taking truth as its first hostage.


Good advice Denby.  Thanks for pointing out where flipping the bird originated.  I can remember working with a lot of young people  when  the " f  "word first became part of everyday language and  being so annoyed at the overuse of it in ordinary conversations.  I felt that there should be a guide or thesaurus  on when and how to use it.

Must admit that I use the word  occasionally when driving, but that in itself can sometimes be a combat like situation I suppose.


"There’s a reason that news sites’ comment sections are second only to YouTube’s as the most stereotypically awful places for discourse on the internet."

YouTube is one of the few bastions of free speech left. So sad to hear you're moving away from such a novel concept. But then the Denver Post has always been far left of center.


sierra club sold their soul to the devil with the bright shirt


Big amount of people. I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes and put on Metformin on June 26th, 2016. I started the ADA diet and followed it 100% for a few weeks and could not get my blood sugar to go below 140. Finally i began to panic and called my doctor, he told me to get used to it. He said I would be on metformin my whole life and eventually insulin. At that point i knew something wasn't right and began to do a lot of research. Then I found Lisa’s diabetes story (google " HOW EVER I FREED MYSELF FROM THE DIABETES " ) I read that article from end to end because everything the writer was saying made absolute sense. I started the diet that day and the next morning my blood sugar was down to 100 and now i have a fasting blood sugar between Mid 70's and the 80's.


And there is just no market for them.
