Ducksoup I don't know who you are but this comment described my thoughts perfectly, and had me and my friends laughing our asses off in agreement.


It's really our faults as Alaskans. We have continued to vote for the people whom.have got us here. Oil tax credits there where making billions what did you really think they wouldn't find a way to make those dollars. Please politicians have been and will be bought and sold. AND WE HAVE ALLOWED THIS AS ALASKANS.


Liberal ministers going to the border and wagging their fingers...that will stop them!


Thank you FBI, County Sheriff and State Police for removing this Anti-Government Militia with an intelligence operation protecting the people of this community.  We understand from one of the Militia member that was there that the man shot was charging law enforcement with his gun pointed at them.  There are many militias through out the United States that are heavily armed and willing to kill and harm others with their  Anti-Government stance, these are dangerous people with a mission that is driven often by extremist religious views and a commitment to over throw the United States Government.  The only rights they stand for are their rights to be lawless, they serve no purpose that is useful and they have no solutions to any problem.  Flint,Michigan has a militia group supposedly to help people but the motivation is to stir up hate and fear towards State Government.  The people don't want them in the community, don't need any help of the type they offer true of all communities.


As residents of Hawaii, most of us pay our share of taxes.  When I rent a car or truck, I, also, pay a "road use" fee of  I believe $4/day.  The fee structure needs to be changed so we don't pay the road use fee.


Russian Steel Baby!!!  Build that pipeline!


When we have ice ages because the Earth is further way from the sun, it gets colder, which causes the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere to decline.  When the earth gets closer to the sun in its orbit, it begins to warm and, on average, about 800 years later, the CO2 level begins to rise.  It's well documented in ice core studies.  Rising CO2 never precedes warming.  Ever.


Agree!   Start by pulling the nuts of the current assistant Chiefs.  All of them deserve to go into pasture.   They did notthing but watch when all of this was going down with Kealoha.


the BC Liberal MP for Burnaby may be facing a recall.


I once read in a BC history book that restrictions were put on Chinese immigration back in the day partly because of their unwillingness to follow this country's rules and regulations. They would look for ways around them if it was to their benefit.
Also, there were concerns regarding drugs, gambling and prostitution.
Sometimes, the more things change...


Although my circle of friends and colleagues are small, none have said they are in favor of an income tax.  If taxes are implemented a sales tax should be consider first.  A sales tax allows the end user some control.  Users get to opt in or out of payment based on their needs and desires.  There has been discussions on how to offset excessive taxing of the villages and smaller communities.  The poll by Rasmuson could be bias.  If I recall the foundations position from the onset has been an income tax.


No, you guys keep appropriating terms and trying to change them.

"Fake news" is garbage like Faux, Breitbart, InfoWars and tRump's twitter account.

WashPo, ABC, etc., as corporate and conservative leaning as they are, still have journalistic standards and try to adhere to them.

You guys just cannot handle the truth.


Nothing says "But I really want a job!" like a can of spray paint to deface some else's property and a few rocks to chuck at police.


"Who want to worship God with the child rapist organization?"

Yes, no doubt, all 1.2 billion Catholics -- the whole global church (including employees of tens of thousands of schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, clinics, etc.) --  are child rapists in your mind. No doubt, too, because criminal corruption in Nigeria is everywhere -- with public officials diverting public funds into their private possessions (affecting the lives of millions of poor people) -- all Nigerians are corrupt. And because the Protestant organization, World Vision, provided the Islamist movement Hamas with up to 7.2 million a year (for five years), all evangelicals are corrupt.  And, likewise, all Americans are slave masters because we allow 57,000 people to live in bondage, according to the Global Slave Index.  But does it occur to you: making the crimes of a few intrinsic to the whole is a bad principle? My God, my IQ is over 150 and I'm trying to make sense to you! God help us! I'm sure you mean well.


Thank you Liberal war room.... carry on, LIV on


Life,
WoW that is bizarre thinking!!


Doesnʻt AG Chin get it, he was wrong, the POTUS has the right to  ban travel. Give up the fight.
What ever your real political agenda is, I would never vote for you.


I've got no problem with the Russion people.  I do have a problem with their government and a much more trying ridged authority.   I doubt Oregon's libertarian wing like a super central authority.   But you aren'r from Oregon are you?  A you even American?


Most people don't see this as an attack on small businesses. Its an attack on some people abusing a tax loophole. What do you have against closing a tax loophole that in the end makes salaried people pay more tax as a proportion of their income ? If someone wishes to start a business well good for them! They choose to take a risk and are rewarded, but that was their choice. They should still pay tax just like the rest of us who made choices.


Justin got a mere 39% of the votes
9% were NDP voting strategically "Anybody but Harper"
that means 60% voted against Justin


Sure she had better hitting percentage but Mau was far more important component to the team's success than Granite ever showed in a whole season (you do realize Mau had double the digs of Grantor and a far superior all around game). When I say the BEST player, it encompasses all factors, not just hitting. In a lot of games last year, Grantor had a ton of hits, did that make her a best player that night? Far from it. See, all you limited knowledge fans have such a narrow perspective and go all gaga over a specific number and not the overall impact. Actually, I really have nothing against Grantor and wish her all the success, and agree with you that she will have a more "mature" game this year. What I'm opposed to are illogical "if" pretenders who engage in fantasy, completely separated from factual data.


Scum elimination.
Okay.  Just a thought... since we can't execute them and interest in castration (the oft best choice for some crimes) makes people squirm, how about we let this guy off scot-free and banish him permanently in the process?
Am I a crazy, sprinkled-cupcake and unicorn-loving leftist with a Bernie sticker on my bumper?  No, not hardly.
We should get this guy to pin-point each and every person that he bought from and sold to and then ship him off to his choice of locations other than Alaska.
The AST then gets warrants for each and every one of these people that have sold to or bought from him.
Investigate and clean out the community, shipping the criminals out to any location of their choice, other than Alaska.
(Make it an option... the criminal's choice to stand trial or move on to places warmer.)


Is that it?  You posted all that for nothing.  Don't quit your day job.  Or should I say day welfare, snowflake.


Question for the authors - did you look at Ottawa when considering this article? I'd be particularly interested in seeing its combined equity value of tech companies by region as well as its deemed growth based on the same metrics that were used for the purposes of this article. A sample of public companies with Ottawa headquarters include Shopify, Mitel, Kinaxis, Halogen Software. That’s not even mentioning other companies with a sizeable Ottawa presence (IBM, QNX, Entrust to name a few) or companies that you may not have heard about but probably will soon (Klipfolio comes to mind).

The technology scene, after being decimated, is once again thriving in Ottawa. Old talent remains in the city, acting both as mentors to new talent and divers of growth.  Investment capital is available and it is actively being deployed. The city has a lot going for it that is often overlooked. So the question remains, how does Ottawa stack up?


Excellent, thanks! Malema's is the better tactician whereas Maimane is a better strategist.


First of all, I'm not a liberal. I just resist simplistic thinking from any direction. But thanks so much for judging me. That's always so kind and charitable. But moving on...

The "Jesus never hesitated" tactic cuts both ways. He also never hesitated to lay down the law very clearly about things he considered important. So why then did he never say that women couldn't be priests? If he felt that strongly about it, wouldn't he have made it crystal clear?

In fact, the only thing I can ever recall him saying clearly about the clerical class is that his followers were not to have a paternalistic hierarchy like the Jews of his time (Matt. 23:9.) Sure took that one seriously, didn't we?


Schill Hall would be appropriate.


Of course, when I read this, I realize that nothing has changed, our PM's loyalties continue to be in question, notwithstanding the fine performance he put on with the new U.S. president (I'm sure he was coached for that within an inch of his life).  You cannot have a 'free' trade agreement with a nation so much bigger and whose values, whatever you think of them, are so incredibly different.  We've got enough trade with China, and God knows, we've got enough Chinese nationals establishing themselves in Canada (nothing reciprocal like that going on, for sure).  Enough is enough.

Although I'm sure the PMO is hardly listening....


Large, mostly empty portions of Colorado.


Hain should have asked for investigations against Rupert. He is the real culprit. He is framing Guptas for no reason.


* Inflation during his administration was around 62% - m.makana.h*
-
62% inflation rate? Not true.
Inflation during the administration of Ronald Reagan went down from an average of 13.5 in 1980 to 10.3 in 1981 and downwards to 4.1 in 1988. (https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/statistics/historical/gands.pdf)


Everyone needs to get off their high horse. This is not a left vs. hing, it's about the emotional stability of a man who should have been examined by a doctor a long time ago for his way of thinking.


Government MUST tax heavily any outside investor owning real-estate in Hawaii. This will curtail the high cost of housing for locals. Wait!!!....the developers are lining pockets of politicians who make the laws that is driving up high cost of housing/living. Will these lawmakers ever take a hardline against these outside investors?  Highly unlikely!


Oh, but the original voting laws required:
- free
- white
- male
- >25 years old
- property owner
Somehow they have morphed into anybody who cares to vote, regardless of citizenship.


Yes, that's the plan.  In the House, there are 48 members of the Freedom Caucus, aka the Liberty Caucus, down two since Mike Pompeo is now director of the CIA and Mike Mulvaney is now Director of Management and Budget in the Trump Administration.  That's enough to block "Progressive" legislation and hold the Republican Party's feet to the fire.  Since 2010, the GOP has been running on a complete repeal of Obamacare and passed 7 bills to do just that (when they knew it wouldn't become law).  Now that they have the opportunity to do it, they're getting weak-kneed.  If we can block what amounts to watered-down Obamacare, it will die on it's own.  Insurors are dropping out right and left and premiums are soaring.  The Freedom Caucus calls itself "The Conscience of the Republican Party," which has always stood on a platform of less government, lower taxes, less regulation, and more economic freedom.  The Freedom Caucus actually means it.  No bill is better than a bad bill.


The bishops just can't help themselves...  it's a default ideological itch that they are frantic to scratch no matter what anyone else has to say about how they've pigeonholed themselves in the culture wars.  'Sorta like General Kelly trying to get control of Trump's Twitter feed...  it's a lost cause when the principle character has no insight into what drives him and won't cooperate.


ValleyIsle57>  Just my  point of view from where I sit and listen to all of your punk ass excuses, have you any guts or are you a coward???  I am for one thing not sick and maybe a little scary at times, but you fail to see anything beyond your tiny safe haven.  Grow up and look around.  Do you care if any of the other countries condemn or condone what we do???  They could give a rat's ass, as to what will happen to the US in this situation.  Don't you know that the world basically hates the USA, and it isn't because of Trump, they've hated us for years and years.  I don't need any help nor seek any help, but you my cowardly friend, needs to go suck on your thumb and dream of all your phony love relationships with the rest of the world.  You are a fool.  Absolute FOOL.  Have a nice day.


"Morgan says he was paid 10 percent less than the white worker who previously held his job."

It normal for a newly promoted person to be paid less than someone who has held that position for a while.


Refreshing to see Larry Simoneaux, a native of Louisiana, support the removal of the Confederate monuments and statues, condemning their display as symbols of hate, bigotry, and slavery--not Southern pride and "heritage".


The difference is that here many of the leaks are sourced from intelligence material, including information collected through the NSA's spying apparatus (itself of dubious legality). Also, shortly before leaving office Obama enabled the sharing of surveillance material (including "incidental" collection of Americans' data) between some 17 government agencies.

When the undermining is done by the (illegal activity of the) intelligence/military, this is more than whistle-blowing.


So tough talk from Roehrig, soft actions.


Are you feeling OK?


When all young men - and, it has always been mostly young men - refuse the invitation to be cannon fodder for [mostly] old men, both PTSD and its primary cause will get eliminated. Meanwhile, let's treat the broken bodies and minds with the same kind of money we put into shattering them.


Why weren't these problems brought up by the condo associations or when the HFD inspected the buildings?  Oh, HFD doesn't inspect buildings any more?  Or, when the HFD does inspect, no one noticed or cited the owners?  Very insightful story.   Choice of living or dying based on your air conditioning bill.  Who would have thought?  Blame HECO for being too expensive?


Have you considered getting help for your delusions you pawn off as fact? Over planting, and not thinning while not allowing fires to burn, is why fuels have built up...something we are now addressing. I don't need to drive to Montana. If you were educated you would know central Oregon has a pine beetle problem because of these issues. we have spent a pile of cash to clean up the fuels on the forest floor in central Oregon, as has Washington state, where I once worked doing this very work for the state. Stop being a hypocritical tool. We need this renewable natural resource.


This article presumes the "sophisticated" interpretation of Catholic moral theology to be the truth, but yet it turns out to be a novelty when held up to 2000 years of Church teaching. Like most things, there are very serious misunderstandings on both sides, but yall seem to have forgotten that the Church is meant to safeguard the truth, not create a new one every 50 years.


Regardless of Trump's belligerance and bullyism, cooler US heads need to take control.  With Trump sidelined NK is not going to start a shooting war and the US would be ridiculous beyond pale to do anything that gets hundreds of thousands of South Koreans killed

N Korea is never going to give up what they have.  They dont trust the US (and Trump only reinforces that-who would want to negotiate with someone who is likely lying)
By all means mean a defensive shield that works but focus on talks.
The real threat is that N K decides that terrorists might provide hard currency for some nuclear stuff.   Then we are really in trouble.
Negotiations need to focus on making N Korea feel their future is secure (ie; end the Korean war) and on getting security around their nuke supply.
Evn Russia poses this same risk  I mean Pakistan has nukes and they live right beside the Taliban and remnants of AlQaeda


Let's assume that you are correct.

But if over multiple generations parents are unable to nurture their children, and if taking them into foster care is not acceptable either, then it sounds like a lost cause.

Am I allowed to ask whether anyone has thought of banning fire water from the reserves, or is that unconstitutional?


This is going to get really ugly for these multi-millionaire Champagne Socialists.

The Left Wing Elite are scared. Their unearned wealth is now at risk


Thank you Julie, that is something I can agree with completely. :)


God bless your wonderful mother!


Ya, there  is always a fight for other peoples morality.  Interesting to note that the highest incidence of abortions comes from the rather reactionary "just say no" group . So I stick to what I said, It should be up to the Woman and her doctor particularly when there is a threat of death or physical harm.  Some one on this board commented that I would allow abortion at term.  NO that would be birth, and yes births  most always occur when pregnancies  get past the first trimester.  It is just when there is a severe medical problem that the overly defined  terms  of when life begins does a lot more harm than good.  So a group of over active superego's feel they can sooth themselves by forcing others into rather dubious terms that are scientifically undefinable.   We see this group using authoritarian definition that harms souls rather than help them.


There are such people as educated fools. . .


British Christians should stop "wondering", and start living their Christian life fully in the middle of the world, never hesitating to pray in public..at meals, blessing themselves quietly but confidently,  that God in that moment is becoming more fully present to them and their guests at dinner.   Manfully, womanly.  Boldly.

Read the Acts of the Apostles.

Timidity and tepidity are vices not virtues.

And they should write well-written letters to the editor, based on natural law principles, attracting others to these ideas because they have in them an attractive quality:  God Himself.

The right to life
The right (and duty) to care for all children
The right to own and transfer property
The right to practice their religion
The right to fair treatment by the law.
The right to educate and make decisions about their own children.
The right to self-defend.
The right to EXERCISE rights.
etc.

And by the way, where does NCR find all these protest signs.  3 or 4 a week minimum.


Tens of Billions spent on the monarchy in England.

'He really is a bad man;'  ... are you about 13 years old... your 'thoughts' and wording would suggest so.

Suck it up and deal with it Mikey..... try a pacifier for the next 4 years.


Prime Minister Selfie isn't interested in governing. He's hired a lot of people to do that for him. He'll spend his time continuing to strengthen his brand. It's all he's ever done. It's all he'll ever do.


Not to worry, Daylight Savings Time is upon us and three months of summer break is just around the corner.  Sheesh, you just had a week off for Spring Break.  Man up dude.

I seem to remember that there are CO chapters of the BLM and Black Panthers.  Yes, I realize that the boneheads of the KKK have been around much longer with a sordid history of which I'm proud to not be a part of.  But if you're going to list hate groups in CO, these other "organizations" need to be listed as well.  Hate is hate no matter what color the person is that spews such vitriol.


It's a temporary issue.  Eventually people will accept them like they accept 'self driving elevators'.  I'm a lot more worried about some drunk crossing the center line and killing me, or some twit running a red light while texting.  Once people start to experience the convenience and safety of a self-driving car, they'll be broadly accepted.

Is Robert arguing for bringing guns into the the Republican convention or against it? And who are the "crazies who are hell-bent on destroying the Republican party" and how would delegates packing stop them given his contention that guns don't kill?


Work Farce, I taught my kids the opposite of this. I told them to observe hard-working, industrious people. Instead of fretting about the gap between the 1 and 99%, it has NEVER been easier to bridge that gap. As proof, the biggest achievers and largest companies in term of market cap. didn't even exist a few years ago. An education has NEVER been more accessible. Work a couple of years at any minimum wage job and you'll have the resources. My Vietnamese neighbours came here by boat in the 70's and are now part of the 1%. I guess they left you in your defeatist dust.


why encourage the cycle of welfare dependency by increasing the welfare rates??  Reward those who are productive and fund this economy, especially those who have created the jobs that has lowered unemployment to historic lows in BC!  This is how the government can reap sufficient revenues to keep the social safety net afloat - and in BC, they do it amazingly well, with so many balanced budgets and the debt kept in check.


We didn't pay for it.  Private money - Gates foundation etc.


You have to remember, Renzetti is not hurting or targeting the (fraction of a percent) of men who were responsible for their crimes over 100 years ago. Those guys are long, dead and buried and forgotten.

No, this kind of thing hurts the generation of boys not yet men or not yet even born - in other words, the innocent and children at that. Renzetti and her sisters are out for revenge on children. The wheels of government and legislation turn slowly, the effects often not felt for a generation, and the current governments efforts to focus on "gender -balance" i.e.: women exclusively will have little impact on the chauvinists of yesteryear. It will have a big impact on boys growing up right now. Who cares that women in Canada make up 60% of University students and earn more degrees than men (and have since the early 80's!), a handful of white men occupy top positions, so its okay to deny boys struggling in school any help, their great-grandfathers were a-holes after all.


Rules are for suckers.


Apologies like these are really meaningless. A lot of what happened in Newfoundland and Labrador happened before they were part of Canada. Governments apologizing for the actions of past government actions, could effectively go on forever. Of course this is political, as an apology doesn't really erase any thing that happened, and looks more like checking off the boxes then anything else.


Obviously high-paying jobs did not materialize, despite all hoop-la and the run-up to tax breaks.  Also, obviously, having it empty has not been a big burden for Eugene the past few years; good jobs are appearing as the economy improves.  Local governments could make a public statement that they will give tax breaks for a Lane County/ Oregon-based corp with jobs to buy it, but will likely not offer tax breaks in 2017 for other purchasers.  Broadcom paid almost nothing for it.  If they can't sell it, they'll still at least be paying property tax (please correct me if I'm wrong on that).  Let's see if there's anybody here in Oregon who's interested, particularly now that what Broadcom paid is well known.
Basically, I'm fed-up with endless move tax incentives for wealthy mega-corps.   Or, if only the mega-corps can provide good jobs--which is hogwash--then let's make an effort to have an Oregon-based outfit step up.  How it can hurt to try?  Be good for the Oregon/Lane County brand.


Henk, thank you for the compliment. I also thought it was accurate.... and of course, correct.

Kate Veh - the congress is taking action.  They are stalling, ignoring, and rejecting (by no vote) the left wing biased nominee from the left wing biased traitor in the White House.  And I support it and enabled it by voting the repubs in power. If you don't like this course of action feel free to get rubber stamp democrats elected.


870 is "a few bad apples"?


Because it's a racist stereotype. People of Hispanic descent have long been lumped into the manual labor catagory. Guess what? We're doctors, lawyers, school teachers, and virtually every other professional you may encounter in your life. Keep your racist remarks about mowing lawns and picking lettuce to yourself.


Way off base to be blame President Obama, Henry.  Sorry, lady, but you can't hide the fact that the high profile white cop/black deceased shootings isn't a myth but a reality.  We've seen videos of black people being shot to death with their hands in the air or laying on the ground face down.  Racial profiling has a long way to go before minority people can get pass the racial thingy.


The "real" problems in this country; I suspect those are not the "right to use any bathroom you choose" or that not all Universities have designated "safe spaces" (an oxymoron, waiting for a 'nutjob').


Of course I have. Life is all about being selective.
And you, for your part, have ignored more or less everything that I have written to you - preferring instead to quote random words back at me. Meaninglessly.

Dear Mr. Chun, What would be right, here is to take away McCain's special healthcare he and all the swamp get and make him switch to Odumbo care. And please stop with the hero stuff. I served too, but that does not give me a pass(to do bad things) or for him to then betray all his voters and lie to them. Remember, Benedict Arnold was a hero several times over and wounded and became lame before he became a traitor, too.


Were you there? Did you know for sure if I received it or another parent? Did you receive copies of the email? You are speculating. The media will be happy to receive the emails in it's full raw form. Let's make a full disclosure than come to a judgement.


That's a straw man. No one except anti-rail activists claimed the EIS stated rail was going to reduce congestion. Read the EIS. It doesn't say that's the purpose of the project. It does list other reasons, which include (1) having a reliable alternative that's affordable to ride and (2) transportation equity, that is, providing an option for people who cannot drive because of age or disability or  because they cannot afford to own and operate a car/truck. These people would not benefit from more highways, contrary to what Panos says.


You're right!  He got CAUGHT two times.  Wonder how many times he drove intoxicated but did not get stopped by HPD.


Didn't the negotiators just sign a confidentiality agreement? So why is Trump talking about this?


Dropping all sugar and processed food, as well as sugary corn fed meat and farm raised fish has boosted testosterone levels in a big way. Muscle mass is up considerably as well without extreme weight lifting.


I suspect that the republicans will walk back from the edge on this.  They're already looking at the 2018 races and they know that Trump has triggered an engaged opposition.  Every vote they make that hurts the people that voted for them will be used to bury them.  The republican congress is running scared.  And they should be.


That is typical Trudeau sentence structure.

I'm trying to understand where they get the idea that most students are clamoring to speak at graduation or that anyone wants to sit through a dozen speeches. I purposely skipped assignments in a class to bring my grade down so I wouldn't get a speech slot.


Contrary to what you have been told, not all residential school students were tortured.  Many were well-treated.  There are quite a few articles that support this, but they were drowned out in the pursuit of a political agenda.  The real torture was the attempt to abolish a culture within the parameters of a well-meaning institution.  We now know it doesn't work, but at the time, those involved really thought they were doing the students a service.  Stop comparing rez schools to the inquisition or crusades. Hardly the same thing.


I agree with findings,the only thing l would suggest on changing is when working with communities, work with high school personnel, many Tribal Leaders tend to judge and have much favoritism amongst those they serve, typical corporate  many tribal members tend to shy away from them, looked upon as  anotgwr institute that serves very few and only those they favor. Yours truly, independent , 1/2 breed born n raised amongst them! This too seems to be a problem lack of going to communities in promotion, send ruicruters in on a no incident visit, mingle with the people


Part Two:

#4. Kag1982: “I was thinking the Ordinariate priests, all of whom seem to be from snobbish academic sort of background, the Latin Mass Society, Damian Thompson, etc. It does seem like the Internets voices are mainly centered in the UK and that it is a class thing. And most Catholics in the US love Francis as well.”

#5. Tridentinus: “Ordinariate priests make up only a tiny proportion of priests in the U.K. and have enough problems with the Catholic bishops to be bothered unduly about what is going on globally. Orthodox Catholic websites are much more numerous in the U.S. than in England.”


Even in legal states there are officials that hate cannabis. They will do anything they can to show it in a bad light.


I should add that when business owners make a mistake, they may lose business ... possibly even go bankrupt.  I grit my teeth every time I hear about a public servant who makes some major mistake for which he or she is "suspended with pay" while the mistake is investigated by other bureaucrats. Governments have become too expensive and arrogant.  There are no specific credentials or relevant experience required to become a politician -- just win a popularity contest and act like you own the entire nation. This needs to change.


Chis that simply is not true.  Even the French President some 50 years ago told Senior, if you are going to be a member of the club you have to pay some of the dues.


How old were the posters and were the women local residents who have gone missing ? Or are the posters now the obligatory reliquaries   like the bones of saints or pieces of the True Cross in a pilgrimage church.


Trump did not leave the transgender policy up to the military. He blindsided the command structure. When he tweeted about consulting his generals, no one could identify who those generals were. They most certainly were not part of the formal structure, as the Pentagon stated that there would be no change in policy until the orders came through the proper channels, and tweet does not qualify. If that weren't chaotic enough, there was a nine minute gap between tweets completing Trumps train of thought, leaving the Pentagon wondering precisely what Trump was announcing.

Be a conservative. Fine. It's a legitimate political stance. Defending Trump is not.


Interesting timing.  Two nights ago President Trump sent out a tweet to the effect that he and Putin have been discussing returning Alaska to Russia.  It was largely ignored as more of his unhinged babbling.  But then again...


Toronto's transportation crisis is choking it to death.

$200 million a year from road tolls - what does that get you? One new subway station per year.  Problem solved in 30 or 40 years.

The city needs at least $2 billion just to get going on this.


They are white and "christian"


That's wright. Gives them cops something to do once marijuana is legalised.


Among the unmerited gifts of my life was Gregory's tutelage in Toronto.  His weaving the personal and social dimensions of faith together has had a lasting impact.

Once in conversation he offered an observation that has long helped me understand diverse pulls in the Church.  We were reading Johannes Baptist Metz, and he grounded that remarkable thinker's life's work in a personal question, offering a clarifying contrast.

Metz and Ratzinger were roughly the same age, raised in nearby Bavarian villages.  Their early social and religious experiences so similar, yet their life work so different.  The Holocaust set the question with which Metz has grappled ever since:  How was it possible that, in such devout Catholic setting, fervent, believing Catholics offered so little, if any, resistance to the rise of absolute evil in history?  Whereas Ratzinger felt deeply the loss of that peasant Catholicism in the face of modernity.

One of those concernss became Gregory's, too.


You're talking about personal income taxes

Business taxes are lower in Canada than the US.  And while income taxes are higher here, we get things like universal healthcare for it, where in the US amazon has to pay for employee health plans.

This sounds like an attempt to bring domestic politics into something where it isn't relevant.


Good start to turning the tide and getting what Alaska is due from oil and gas resources.


Yeah, as I said, good thing he started playing Hamilton instead of trying to run him out of town.


Note to Bill: my reply was directed at RD's whinging toward "They."


Who was the inspiration to those words that are cast on the Statue of Liberty, French artist who created the Statue of Liberty so that France could give it to the USA as a gift or did he consult with some famous or obscure USA citizen to create that inscription?

Also, times have changed and maybe someone should add, "but, not your terrorist that yearn for the distruction of the USA, it's People and its Way of life".

In those days of mass immigration where there was virtually no vetting process, many good people entered and became good citizens.  That is why we in Hawaii have the surname like Asam, Ayat, Ane, the Cantonese words for Number 3, number 1 and number 3.  Anyway, that was a good thing getting so many good people.

But, there were also whole lot of bad people that were also allowed in, so, let us not forget that a sound and solid vetting process is a must and turning a blind eye could be the cause of some terrorist killing one of our family, friends, relatives or neighbors.


Hope that Sajjan didn't embarrass himself parroting the trope that "climate change" (manmade, no doubt) caused the Syrian civil war, as he claimed in a speech recently. What sheer idiocy on his part! Is there anything the science-illiterate government leadership, including the PM and all his cabinet, think has NOT been caused by "climate change"? Some defence minister! Blaming a non-existent problem for a hellish conflict. Is he gonna equip our armed forces with useless windmills? That makes me feel really safe, not. Has he heard of the Mail on Sunday's recent scoop with a high-level whistleblower's evidence that NOAA deliberately fudged its global temperature data report, skewed it hottest ever, all in time for the farcical Paris climate agreement? The Liberals' manmade climate fiction is making them look dumber and more more venal every day.


Sorry, but I'm just not feeling the 'love' for my conservative brothers and sisters in the pews after reading this piece.

Those of us who saw 'pastoral accompaniment' as integral to the gospel had to endure the indignity of being labelled "glorified social workers" by our 'obedient' brethren.
When we worked for Justice they accused us of acting politically, of being communists.
When we saw the young walk away from Mass we tried to make the liturgy more accessible to them. They called us tambourine wielding "Hippies."
And when we challenged outdated and at times, cruel Church teaching, they called us Protestants and told us to get out of 'their' Church.

We see now exactly how deeply they valued obedience, with the election of Pope Francis. From what I can see, it's not a virtue they valued at all.


Great. The circus called the Trump family comes to Canada. What a national embarrassment Trump is.


You. Are. Delusional.


Pure silliness by useless politician to grab a headline.

What next? Legislate making stink eye illegal? Bad manners? Giving 5 stars on Yelp to mediocre local eateries?

How about making a mayor that gets paid in taxpayer money give 100% of his time and effort to the people of HNL and not be allowed to hold ANY kind of side gig REGARDLESS of the remuneration????


Well stated Sherman !


Good morning, welcome back to the world from your long nap


" .. A Liberal Arts program used to be one of the hardest to enter and finish because the everyone was expected to study philosophy, languages, history, AND science and math. .."
My experience - never was and certainly is not now. The food chain of university graduation:
- The top grade 13s (my era) entered into the professional degree courses (STEM, law, medicine ...)
- If you failed there ( 50% did ) they went into the general sciences.
- After flunking these you got a BA in "arts" ...
The result may be obvious in our political establishment and media.


Yes, I disagree with the change. Chrystia Freeland has been fantasizing about the Russians overrunning big swathes of Ukraine beyond the Crimea and Donbass since 2014, so she should be the last person to approve of such a change.  From this it would seem we don't even have any insurance that our troops would stay out of the coastal area of the Sea of Azov under Ukrainian control. If there were to be any kind of Russian incursion, this is most likely where it would occur, to establish a land bridge between the Donbass and Crimea. At the same time, Freeland has done nothing to put restrictions on the training our troops provide, like refusing to train the neo-Nazi Azov regiment, although such restictions have been legislated in the US. Her maternal grandfather was a Nazi collaborator, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.


The house will settle for nothing less than a progressive income tax. The holy grail to stifle the middle class. They will sell their soul to whomever to obtain that dream. One step closer to socialism is the goal.
The senate shall hold steadfast to defeat socialism!!!


The illegal permit used to start construction without approval was sneaky. The lies, illegal arrest of the protectors, conservation and environmental laws were ignored.  Does sciences come before truth and  respect in any culture or anyplace?

Truth is number one.  Do we want to teach our children it's okay to break laws because it is good for education to advance in their endeavors? The problem in todays world is disrespect not only on Mauna Kea but everywhere else has caused more bad karma. If you are a person of any religious believe what is the 1st commandment? If you are not religious person what is the 1st virtue in your soul, heart and mind? If it is not the "truth or respect" then TMT is for you.

The problem TMT is not up front and denied the military has no interest in the project. It is commonsense a science project at this magnitude warrants for the most powerful laser weapon to be positioned 14,000 feet above sea level and 2,500 miles from the closes land mass.


Excellent advice, Mr. Keillor.  Wouldn't it be great if she would take it?


Japan has been prepared for some time and has the Rayethon anti-missile rockets on several Ageis class destroyers.  They have been training in Hawaii for nearly 10 years at Barking Sands.  The Block SM2 rockets are getting better and so are the Japanese.  So Japan is ready, too bad they don't have anything to hit back with.


Who knows, they could escape custody.


I wouldn't say just the Senate majority doesn't have a long term plan, neither does the House, an income tax is "Not" a sustainable long term plan.  I also still don't understand why the Gov took half of the PFD and it has just been sitting in an account and not spent.  The gov said he needed the money, why wasn't it used??  There is absolutely nothing wrong with Mike Dunleavy's proposed balanced budget and the House and Senate should take a re-look at it.


The State should not be selling addictive drugs. What they are doing is putting their approval on the drugs, they are promoting them as safe, good and Canadian.
Why not decriminalize heroin and sell it at the LCBO too?


I see a few of the comments here miss the point. Some insist that in an equal world women should be able to take insults just like men. Maybe they should.

But that's like saying al-Qaeda's problem is they use too much oil in their hummus. Maybe they do. But that's not my problem with them. Trump's problem is that he is he is going after social programs that will undermine people's well being. The Republican Congress was on the verge of passing the misnamed Better Care Reconciliation Act until the CBO pointed out that it will cause premiums to skyrocket and remove health insurance for 20 million people.

Yes, he is a nasty human being who takes pleasure in demeaning people and is a snob while pretending to be some man of the people. That makes him all the more cringe worthy. But what he is doing to the country is worse.

He avoids the politics for the petty insults because that's all he's got folks. He brings nothing to the table otherwise.


Except that is contrary to the published NHL policy on repeat offenders set out in the current CBA.  But hey when has the NHL ever followed its own policy.  You have read that right?


Ah - " the ruling class " ...
They only rule because we the sheeple brain washed citizenry VOTE FOR them !
I present the glorious example of Ontario ......


The Alaska Supreme Court disagrees with your claims.  Parental notification doesn't do any of the things you claim.


so basically the Bell Rogers oligopoly is dead Good one Liberals


Pretty lady, but that is FAKE smile. A good photographer waits for a REAL smile before clicking the shutter.


The only TNR program that works:  Trap, Neutralize, Recycle.


Alan Boraas and Clayton McDowell - Good luck getting that model in the US at all, much less Alaska.  The style that rules here is  "polar" opposite to that line of thinking.


And what makes Catholics so special that they deserve their own publicly funded school system?


Well stated, Mr. Chronis. The gradual diminution of Memorial Day - which I recall as 'Decoration Day' as a day set aside to tend to the grave sites of those who perished in WWI - and like other holidays, has been co-opted by the marketers and the masses who view themselves as consumers instead of citizens.


The man helped by the good Samaritan was a legal citizen.


I perhaps can see certain parts of the hearing or documents related to medical conditions being closed (HIPPA), but the entire hearing? That seems ridiculous.


I can tell you first hand, if you grew up in Eagle Park, Illinois you'd be singing the blues too. I grew up in the town next to Eagle Park, my town was all white, middle class with a sundown law. Sundown law required that black american citizens be off the streets and out of town by sundown every day. These laws were made illegal by the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Eagle Park, Brooklyn and Venice were the most desperate slums I have seen, a place where many were forced to live given the poverty of racial discrimination of the 1940's 50's and 60's. If you look at a map of Eagle Park you'll see it on the banks of Horseshoe Lake. Please don't let your imagination take you to Waldo Lake, this was a combination of waste products from steel mills, coke plant and city waste of various sorts. It was no natural wonder. I spoke with Slim about his home, he was always so positive about the place, I found that so uplifting given my knowledge of the place. He was a good man, RIP Slim.


Yes the Donald is a joke, but he is our joke.  What TV show will take him?  Rumor has it that he will soon resign as the investigation hits close to home.  Time will tell but I will miss the Donald as he is so pathetic.


Oh...a "free" concert paid for with our Federal taxes. Do you really think that's any kind of rebuttal to my point? These PR concerts by military bands are always free, and take place all over the country.
Is the Shedd being paid for use of the venue? Why isn't the concert in a public park, where I've seen similar concerts in other cities?
I love your attitude: "Here's something free, whether or not it's something you like. Win/Win...now shut up".


Good for her! Wish more people would voice their opinion like that.


“As far as the congressman and other irresponsible members of Congress are concerned, they have the luxury of saying what they want as they do nothing and have almost no responsibility,.. They can call people liars but it would be inappropriate for me to say the same thing back at them. As my blessed mother used to say, 'empty barrels make the most noise.’”

Going to college is good but for many, not really necessary especially since the cost of tuition no matter where
is rather high and creating the problem of many have a large debt to pay if and when they do graduate.
The biggest mistake the Feds made was to underwrite the cost of college tuition via financial aid loans.
This had the unintended consequence of allowing colleges and universities to raise their tuitions and to
pay huge salaries to their teachers and administrative personnel.  Best thing the Feds could do would be
to end government underwritten financial aid loans and you will see tuitions and other related costs go
down drastically and the these schools of higher learning would have to really compete on the open
market.


No bulk export of water??  You think its is better for it to drain into the sea and become saline?  In case you haven't realized, water is a renewable resource that literally pours down from the heavens, as we have recently seen in Ontario where I live,  unlike oil and gas. Why in the world would you not want to sell it and put it to the use of food production  before it drains into the Pacific and is destroyed?


If someone is trying to sell you an old  rusty banger worth 50 bucks for a million because he told you there's only 2  left in the world and you pay the million it's not the sellers fault,it would be your fault for being so gullible.


An important and brave article surfacing what is not spoken of - thank you, Paul. It raises long-buried stories than lie behind the distortion of representation that has continued to fatally undermine the ANC in its years of government. I have often heard people ask, 'But where are the young ANC exiles from the student uprisings who should be in government now?'


"he wont kill me but he might hurt me really bad..." It sounds like she's been resigned to this behavior for awhile. This guy needs to GO. Get far away from this guy, lady. He very well could prove you wrong. Our "justice system" is so lax on prosecuting these coward predators. It makes me so effing MAD!😠


Obama never appeared before a committee?


So basically all people from Muslim countries can stay, while ones from Christian countries are sent away.  What a screwed up country we've become.


Seriously? Hypocrite much?


Move the  Capital to Anchorage, more legislators live there then anywhere else. Kito is always against the move from Juneau but do the math. The State will save a lot more in per diem by doing this.


Morrigan: The current president thrives on chaos and division as he is being investigated by his party.   Although he says otherwise, the president loves the media.


sir: there is plenty of stats to show that broken homes cause broken children. we can try and deceive ourselves about it, but until we face the truth we will continue to build jails, pay taxes to fund this mess, and turn kids out of schools that cannot care for themselves. the science is there for those that choose to educate themselves.


The only one talking about an "anti-Christ" is you.


It would probably raise the salary cap too much and most of the U.S. teams cannot afford it because the tv deals and tickets aren't nearly as valuable as they are in Canada. If there was full on revenue sharing they would like it.


Your post is evidence for the need of an additional emoji

'Disgrace'


So what do the libs want to change the name America to?


Immigration laws for instance; not "real" laws under the Obama regime. Hence why they do not enforce them. They're just imaginary laws meant to keep out Democrat voters.


So if I understand correctly, you're saying you don't care if global CO2 emissions are reduced as long as the Alberta oil sands are shut down .


I thought I had read similar info some years ago. They said BMD but the equipment on our soil was to be mssile launchers, clearly with offensive potential, operated by the USA. Not as advertised and militarily viewed as an offensive missile installation by Russia.


So...what is the problem?  Are those who need legal representation to be denied it because some don't agree with conservative Christians?

Until an article is offered here remarking about the many organizations who offer legal recourse to popular causes such as LGBT rights, for instance (just Google that to see the plethora of law firms!)...this story is merely click-baiting and agenda driven.


Although I totally believe in Native Sovereignty and that they should have the right to use their lands in what ever venture will help their people, I still hesitate, as I've commented before, to allow the federal government to become trustee  over Native interests. If gambling casinos bring needed income to the people, then it's a good thing, provided the corruption can be kept out of it. That's pretty much a pipe dream in any culture, though! At least there are a lot of Native Nations with enough sense to build those casinos rather than be the prudes that govern Alaska. We need to increase our income to help close the budget gap but we've not seen the slightest hint of doing that from our legislators.

All of the above aside, the federal government has held tribal lands and other assets in trust for decades. Many billions of dollars have just been lost, evaporated and no one seems to know where it all went. Trusting the government is not a wise thing to do in this case, in my opinion


why would a Mexican company stand to benefit the most when Trump himself has said that all supplies must be American


It's not ironclad, the Ak Supremes have hinted as much in past rulings.


Police officers accessing these record systems used to access registration information must have reasonable suspicion that there is a violation.  They cannot "just run any plate" without the aforementioned reasonable suspicion.

I have no reason to believe the officers have any specific beliefs.  I do know that the training is lacking and it is inexcusable for the department to not address something that should be understood in the academy, let alone past day 1 of field training.


Chong will probably lose but that's a bad thing for the Conservative Party and for Canada.


She was a druggie back in the day. I think she was doing Heroin. After all these years she still craves the lure. Sadly she may be dipping into Meth which is one of the worse of highs. Sure they found it in their belongings which doesn't prove them using it. Unfortunately they probably are. As you can see drugs don't care how old you are.


Now the CRA will have to determine whether Bronfman and other Canadians did anything illegal when they moved money offshore to avoid paying taxes.

I wonder why the rich don't want to pay the taxes needed to help their governments operate and provide the services and programs Canadians want and need.

By the way, I wonder how the investigative journalists got the information in the Paradise Papers.

If they could get it, why didn't the CRA and other tax authorities know? How come the tax authorities couldn't get it?

And if the rich like the Bronfmans and others have so much influence on our governments, I wonder why the rich let our governments run huge annual deficits and carry huge government debts so people have to pay more taxes to pay off those deficits and debts and so the rich have to find ways to avoid paying more taxes.


CRA should make sure that every adult resident or property owner in areas with very expensive homes has filed an income tax return and reported sufficient income consistent with the neighborhood. In Toronto, I would start with the neighborhood around Dunvegan Road. #126 was the former home of John David Eaton. One cannot afford to live in this neighborhood even on an income of $200,000 per year. CRA won't meet its goal by going after waitresses and handymen.


Retroactive dating.  Really.  Was this information provided to each candidate? This shows that an insider connection is key to winning.  Could the nomination process be any more opaque?


The way the liberals have gone about this it did not get passed by the majority it was forced through because nobody could stop it. But they better remember the next election will not forget. Canadians better thibk back sharia law has been tried before to get accepted.this tactic is not Canadian and wil make it a thing to be feared. Muslims who live here better realize islam is not a nice religion and there are many countries where there is murder and oppression going on. Muslims either speak up or you are playing a dangerous game.


Whatever it takes do it ASAP.


This is the Year of the Monkey.......and its certainly shaping up to be one of the better Monkey years on record.


Here's his approach to every issue: "We're all part of a big messy family, with function and dysfunction...can't we just have a pleasant dinner conversation?"

Here is RD's approach to every issue:  "I'm Opus Dei.  So must you believe everything I say no matter how false it is."


"Pandora, I stand amazed by your integrity and virtue."

Good to see that you and Pandora have found common ground.  Pandora is also amazed by her integrity and virtue.

Putin effectively owns the entire GOP,  now that you think of it.


I know.


Calm.

Didn't Hillary's "reset button' and Obama's "I'll have more flexibilty" comment  work?   I'm not sure I see the problem.

Haley has been quite vocal.

That's why Trump hired her...

Whiteaker has been dealing with this for the past three years. Most of the streetside group boxes have been broken into so many times it's a wonder they even close any longer. At least one apartment complex owner spent a lot of money buying beefier boxes that have stood up so far. EPD claims they put a detective on it, but there has been no sign of any progress or effort on his part.

Jefferson Westside has also been dealing with this for the past year and a half. Apparently River Road area is also having issues.

Basic things that civilized places have, like mail service and parks without human feces, are simply not priorities for Eugene's city manager. I guess the mail thieves aren't in his neighborhood. Apparently the burglars and car-jackers aren't either, and he's not exactly known as a man with any empathy.


I used to be pro life too, then I realized I shouldn't be pro life after realizing if abortion was legal back when Nancy Pelosi and Clodwell were conceived the US would be a much better country.


Agree.  Trump is mentally and morally imbalanced.  He is a threat to America.  His hatred for the poor and middle class, especially whites, is appalling.  The entertainment value of this fraud is nil.


La Canfora never "sat down" with Kaepernick for an "interview."  FakeNews.com at its finest.

It's just clickbait, Rage.

Besides, you seem to enjoy using Trump threads to discuss Trudeau.. How upset are you really?


Laurence Goldin, we Social Democrats don't care if Hillary loses to Trump. To us it's the same old thing. Democrats have been using the Left to their advantage for decades and Hillary should have thought of that before sucking up to the Right. Good luck in the General Election getting Social Democrats to vote for your 'guy'.


Ditto. How come?


Yes I've seen that first hand, I have two beautiful nieces strung out on that sludge and that is heart wrenching. So I do thank you for your synopsis. I think we all know that alcohol and drugs "themselves" are not diseases but the effects of long term use causes diseases. So thank you for helping me word that correctly so I don't have to argue with another commenter about car wrecks being diseases. :)) Now that we have that settled, good night. .

I got my eclipse glasses from the library yesterday...........more a souvenir than anything since here in Hawaii we'll only get a 36% shadow

The utter rigidity of their refusal to compromise shows they have given the burqa  power greater than human rights. They have made a false god and idol of the burqa and hijab.


Trump and Netanyahu are probably going to make issue #1 getting the UN to establish some sort of nice, temperate climated place with a golf course, a tax haven with NO EXTRADITION to either the US or Israel.

Or. . . maybe they're gonna come up with a plan for Peace in the Middle East. . . which would include creating some sort of nice, temperate climated place with a golf course, that would be a tax haven with NO EXTRADITION to either the US or Israel. . .


A story repeated 10,000 times across America


We care less and less with each tragedy.  We seem finally to have accepted our manifest destiny.


that was no ex cathedra statement. Besides, Francis revisited the issue, and wouldn't have done so if the statement by Paul 2 had precluded it. The statement by Paul2 is not binding on the church. He made a declaration but that is not an infallible statement and you know it, unless you think Francis violated an infallible teaching when he agreed to look into it again. I wasn't aware that you are now in the position of determining what is or is not fallible.


Definition of sedition
:  incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority


The apostles didn't write the Gospels.  The authors of those did have particular goals and target audiences.  Your praise of scholarship is misguided.  Jesus didn't preach praise of scholarship.  Aquinas is best studied to understand how the misconceptions and biases of the past can poison the thinking of the Church.
I note that you carefully choose what you wish to preach about, but fail to address a number of questions.  Here they are again so you can explain how your "orthodox" faith fits:
He was teaching that faith was inert and contained in a set of rules? Amazing. Did he provide the complete list of rules? If not, then how could he expect us to follow them? Surely you are not now going to claim the aggregation of rules, rituals, traditions and rites developed by the catholic church over the past 1900 years or so are required for salvation and represent "faith"?


Remember, 300Paul, this is public testimony. This is all for show and politics. The real investigation happens in closed session. Having said that, we heard today that Comey did tell Trump he was not under investigation for colluding with Russia at the time he said it, but gave a lengthy recounting of internal discussions that point to the fact that as head of the campaign he still could come under investigation. We now know Trump is under investigation for obstruction of justice by Mueller, and that Flynn is the subject of a CRIMINAL investigation, and that Loretta Lynch told Comey to "spin" the description of the Clinton investigation. So, some interesting things for those keeping political score.


No one is listening to Murkowski.  She went public against Trump.  And she pushed for selling US oil overseas, which is counter to Trump' s oil independence goal (US oil should be used in the US).  No one will be listening to Murkowski for the next 4 years.


Could you provide a source for that claim? I would b interested in reading it.


Say what?
Read your first 'point' about waking up at 3am and realized you have no idea.


The "moan" about clean audits is simply a uninformed complaint by those who don't understand the purpose of audits and who inherently are reluctant to follow exact accounting procedures and policies. Compare the lackadaisical attitude of many government workers elsewhere. I once had an appointment with a WC Government official. He was almost an hour late and pretended he had forgotten. Without shame or apology he said he had been doing his private banking. This was during office hours. The fact an hour of my time was wasted was irrelevant to him.  There's no moan from people like Zille when government workers don't do what they supposed to do and fail to deliver service.


Climate change must not be that big of a deal if they are unwilling to renegotiate. You'd think they would be happy to talk about it more if it was truly as dire as they claim.


It's not the main contractor Kiewit getting the extra money, they're actually losing money on rail and looking for the door.
An audit will likely show Parsons and many other campaign donors were paid billions for "consulting fees".


The CBC ran a report yesterday that had a link to the Senator's speech.
I would like to see a point by point response to each of the things that she raised. I am a history buff and would like to know about the real history of my country. Finding the real history is very difficult unfortunately as most of our published history deals only in the author's generalized opinion instead of a discussion of events.


While we're at it let's nationalize our construction workers and contractors who work on our roads and government buildings.  It's public money after all.


Star Advertiser removed this post...........I Just saw the new commercial where over 70% of Oahu residents support completing rail. Curious why these comments don't reflect similar. I keep getting reminded of the saying "If you have to ask how much something costs you probably CAN'T AFFORD it" (Legislature to the Mayor). And if the guy asking for the money responds "I dunno", and they keep plowing ahead, we need to all say "Aloha" to this great State as its been sold out.

How much did you risk?  How many did you hire?  Did you mortgage your home to meet payroll?  Did you share the losses in bad years?


So, you served your country just so when you watch football, you could watch people stand and sing the national anthem?  I thought most people who served our country did so to fight for peoples rights to do exactly what these players are doing.

I guess you would rather live in a country where it is required by law to sing and praise the country all the time regardless of whats going on in it?  I think theres a country like that actually....its called North Korea.


It was pointed out that I have a severe case of Trumpophobia. I thought it was just my disdain for a self-serving, self-aggrandizing, vindictive, ignorant, pusygrabbing blowhard. Trump has been busy selling his brand to foreign powers. I can't believe that anyone would believe that he gives the slightest sh*t about the average wage earning person. I find him disgusting. Thanks for asking!


So why is the State legislature having a special session to RAISE taxes to help pay for the $20 BILLION Oahu train to nowhere?  The city just took out $350 million in bonds to help pay for the rail project and including paying for the bond interest, like the Hawaii convention center was paid by taking out bonds, that $350 million is actually about $760 in total cost to Hawaii taxpayers.  Therefore an initial cost of $10 billion for the rail project just from Hoopili to the Ala Moana center rail station is in actuality an eventual $20 billion cost.  Add 3 people have already died running their car into a rail track column, not only because of speeding, but also becasue these oversized rail columns are way too close to roadways.  Oahu, especially in downtown Honolulu, lack the space to accommomdate these large rail columns for a train that is oversized because it is using an obsolete, inappropriate train technology used to transport goods like coal and lumber across cites and states.


If you are talking about Portland, I know people that were there on the ground.  Compared to how many peaceful protesters, the violent ones were few.
I only wish there was as little damage by "second half of second amendment" practitioners as there was by first amendment practitioners.


Working via a remote office in another country is not an issue - the issue is the way that the Premier did things.


"State statute prohibits appointments to the Game Board based on explicit parameters like geographical region or affiliation."

take a look at the bios of each board member, going all the way back to the inception of the BOG, and you'll see who runs the show.  same can be said for BOF members, past and present.  rural subsistence interests have always been underrepresented.


You really don't grasp the fact that TRUMP is the one being investigated...


If he'd left it at that, there would have been muted opposition, like when he cut the TFSA. What he has proposed goes way beyond that, affecting people who want to sell businesses, who want to leave their businesses to family after death, who want to save inside the company for retirement or future capital requirements of the business. He has been after the private sector like a pit bull  since the day he was elected. There are many people out there who still think that "this won't affect me" and many will be in for a surprise when the "unintended consequences" of this poorly and hastily written legislation becomes law.


Because mortgage insurance has been and remains drastically underpriced.  Look at the instant death of Fannie and Freddie in the US when their bubble popped.  The amount of money they had collected in premiums was a drop in the bucket compared to the payouts they had to make, and they went bankrupt instantly.  We are slowly raising the premiums in the right direction, but of course that does squat to fix the problem of $700 billion plus in guarantees that we have already made, with $12 or $15 billion in capital (or whatever the number now is...).


Awesome. Well deserved!


"For that reason, "nothing happens in vain" and no situation is "completely resistant to love. No night is so long that the joy of dawn is forgotten," he said. In fact, the darker the night, the sooner the light will come, he added."

Contrary to what Pope Francis said, there is something completely resistant to love: the Church Law orders for Bishops to cover up child sexual abuse crimes in places where the civil law does not require Bishops to report such crimes to police.


J_Lee, you get that 30% of 30% (the percentage of your restaurant bill attributed to labour, as the article states) is a little under 10 cents (10%) on the price of your meal, right?  So, statistically, you will only need to cut your dining out by 5% - good news!

You're welcome.


"once a tax is levied it will never, ever go away"

Your wrong DA. The income tax went away.
 Alaska used to have a state income tax until 1980 when we were flush with
"new" oil revenues.
We need it again, now that oil prices no longer support paying the 90% of state needs it used to.  Time to grow up and pay our way like every other state in the Union. And haven`t you ever heard of a sunset clause?
Spending our savings to continue oil subsidies like the republicans in the Alaska legislature want to do is DOA!


Your bias made you miss my point.  There is no evidence a non-meat diet is best for every single human, there are always outliers.


All of us here originally came from somewhere else, even the first nations. Use your brain.


"capitalism will be remembered as the most destructive adventure in the history of the world. Period."

Of course it will, when all the billions of people now enjoying unprecedented wealth across the globe fall back to Venezuelan and Zimbabwean poverty levels back.

Boozer:  I detect another effort to pick an argument.....a classic troll post.  I'm not interested.  regards, Gary


was not the earliest church at least simultaneously in Britain, led it is claimed by Joseph of Arimathea?  Was he or was he not involved with Phoenician ships?  There was all sorts of non-Roman transport going on, and I must say this is the first time I have heard of the trade commerce routes being part of being in Rome..not a bad idea of course.


To All,
.
Yesterday I was penalized by Civil. I can only post twice in a 24 hour period.
.
According to their software, I am guilty of “continued biased voting.” In other words I was not voting down comments “the right way.” What a bunch of nonsense. What some people might view as offensive was OK to me because there were no threats or personal insults. I’m a reasonable and rational 56-year-old man, but I won’t let an a computer censor me.
.
I think the problem with Civil is the ability of people to vote negatively toward a comment they merely disagree with. If you say something snide about Trump, his fans might claim you’re not being civil. If you say you like him, others might censor you because of that.
.
The Denver Post has saddled you with subjective punishment. Are you OK with that? I’m not. I’m going to “deposit” this twice a day to rub their noses in it, and I encourage you, the reader, into doing the same. Don’t let them force you into being a spineless clone.
.
Speak up.


This is kind of like the polls today... You say one thing for public consumption or pollsters, and you do something else when they lose focus or leave!


Trump has never blamed legal immigrants -- he supports them.

(Illegal immigrants aren't technically immigrants, they are uninvited lawbreakers.)

Trump has never blamed Muslims per se; he has blamed Muslim extremists who kill Americans.

Anyway, Trump has never, like Hillary, denigrated the American people.   That is, he has never called millions of Americans "deplorable."

Nor has Trump denigrated religious Americans, as Obama did when he said millions of us "cling to religion."

Glass houses my friend.


Branden Hummel: I guess I didn't explain my point well enough. Mega Taker Buist claims that it was the 100 foot setback that forced the trapper to make his set deep in the woods, too deep for the dog owner to find his family member before he died. Buist is arguing that, had there been no setback, the owner could have found his dead dog closer to the trail. Which is certainly a convenience to the grieving owner /s=


I will vote for Clinton and I am not a Democrat. I saw her as the First Lady who a partner to her husband instead of just "arm candy" and had a voice of her own and took as her "projects" as First Lady such important issues as healthcare for all instead of decorating another room in the White House. I saw her pounded non-stop by the GOP for her views. Clinton went on to become a elected US Senator for 2 terms, one of the 2 top candidates to run for the US Presidency in her party, lost, and put that  aside as she showed her loyalty to her party and took the job as Secretary of State from the man who beat her to the nomination. As Secretary of State Clinton was in the news for the taking down of bin Laden but mostly she stayed under the "radar" working hard for YEARS until the GOP felt a threat from her to run for president again and they pounded her again. When the dust of politics settles Hillary is the last man "standing" (woman) as her enemies write books and appear on talk shows.


Wow Globe...starting strong in 2017: two per day!

I agree...fake news are being picked up by MSM and given plausibility: remember all those "islamophobic" attacks that were never corroborated or reported to/investigated by Police?


Apples and oranges. Explaining trans identity through biology is as silly and pointless as explaining climate change through psychology.

Experts on both subjects affirm their respective validity.


I guess most people won't sit by you?


"consumer Commie"?????

I rest my case.


Would this have been your plan for WWII?


No more than Hillary, the Democratic Party, and CNN did.


O'Leary's "angry man walking" act is getting tiresome. The fact that he doesn't seem to know what he is talking about seals his fate.


Donnie, is that you?


Ottawa?  drain the swamp..


Meh.


This is unfortunate. He made a mistake.  If he'd been under the influence, he probably would have been sent to counseling and put on paid administrative leave.


I don't think voting machines should be connected to the Internet.  Download the data a few times a day, and store it in a secure location until the polls close.  Why make it so difficult?


And this is an important point in relation to COER: As a nuclear assault weapon, the A-3 during that time period was an important cog in the U.S. response to the Cold War.  NAS Whidbey in the 1950s and early 60s was one of only two A-3 wings in the nation.  It was a huge carrier-based jet, the largest to fly on/off an aircraft carrier.  Big, loud engines flying over Oak Harbor and Coupeville during the height of the Cold War and the Vietnam War - much louder than the current Growler over-flights.  COER claims health risks from jet noise such as hearing loss, anxiety, cardiac issues AND students in the area who can't concentrate and their academic progress is severely affected?  Well... COER's president, Ken Pickard (as well as his sister, another COER member) grew up in Coupeville and went to school there during that time period.  Where were their complaints and claims then?

Ukraine is practicing discrimination against its Hungarian speaking minority. Hungarian people have been living on land that is now part of Ukraine for over a thousand years. Ukraine is taking away their right to their own language by forcing assimilation. What the Kiev government is doing would not be allowed in Canada or in any country in Western Europe.

Nail on the head Garrison Keillor, but I, of course, would like to add one more thing.  For those who have said we need to make our government more efficient and run it more like a business, let me submit that business is an oligarchy at best.  At worst it's a dictatorship.  Welcome to the new, very efficient, America.


You do know, don't you, that a historic neighborhood designation does not limit the interior of homes? There is a pretty strong market for historic homes and nothing to prevent remodeling the interior, so I don't actually know what you're talking about here.

do you have the convictions of your position to share with us the name of the church in which you worship?
does your entire congregation believe as you do?
do you not see the latent racism in your comment?


This was years ago but ADF+G mostly got out of the hatchery business. It all boiled down to money, apparently the budget folks couldn't get money from the general fund to benefit the commercial and sport fisheries. The state, at that time at least, didn't get any funds from the fishermen or women, I think there was a 3% tax that went to the local govt.
Nice to read another fact filled article by Ms. Welch, whom I have been reading for all the many years I have been involved with various fisheries and hatcheries. bruce


You make accusations without any bases in truth, that is false witness, like when you accuse me of working for CI.  Your soul is red with hatred, and risk your own soul friend.

The devil was never after those children, but those souls who burn with hatred afterwards.

Remember that the church can't send people to jail, it can't prosecute.  Victims need to go to the police. You can't blame the church for not imprisoning offenders.

Again, remember Judas Iscariot, he was hand picked by Christ and ended up being a thief and a traitor.  The devil didn't want Judas, he wants to embroil as many souls as possible with hatred.  If the disciples ended up embittered with hatred towards Judas, then the spread of the message stops.  Fortunately the Holy Spirit's power of love and forgiveness heals.

I pray you sole mission isn't to spread hatred of the church, it will not end for you.  We know the church will have an apostasy when Christ returns, and he then takes the church into heaven.


Imagine standing up for science and not for a Superman who apparently was able to do amazing things in Israel 2000 years ago but not so much anymore.  I for one am glad that someone had the guts to speak out for rational thought.


.....so, when is the BLM community of West Indies ancestry going to do the same for the LGBT community? You *are* aware of course that the Black community has a long standing hate for Gay men, and that being gay can mean a death sentence in countries like Jamaica or Trinidad? In fact we have many refugees from these very countries who fled on threat of death because they were gay.  When will this "major cultural shift" happen? When will BLM "recognize, own and apologize"?

(Of the 77 countries where being gay is illegal, 33 of them are in Africa, 10 of them are in the Caribbean - you've got some apologizing to do)


And these terms are broadly defined in the public law that was talked about. Whether or not they are even working under the terms of any public grant was not a part of the article.


Of course not.  We're talking about sharing the roads here, not making them car-excluded or bike-excluded.

Although there are some of both (some roads like high speed freeways are bike-excluded, while dedicated bike paths are car-excluded).  But for the most part we're talking about roads where both are allowed.  Cars often have to scoot over for bikes, and bikes often have to scoot over for cars.


typical coward left wing argument, demanding someone prove a negative, well thats not how things work loser, it is up to the accusers to prove it exists and to date there is NOT ONE spec of evidence to do that on trump and russia!!


The Senate that voted for this legislation are composed of the same legislators who campaigned on the promise to "get the government out of our personal lives".  Help me understand how to understand this?


I don't live in Thornton, so this isn't really my fight, though, I live and use that intersection almost daily.  Have the people who are pushing for Top Golf been down to the one in Centennial?  What an eyesore!  That one is in the middle of an office park, where is belongs.  Yes, there is I-25 and a Wal-Mart there, but the rest of the area is homes.  I'm not sure people realize just how ugly and distracting this thing will be.  Good on Thornton for adding a few hundred minimum wage jobs and some tax revenue, I guess.


I actually think the RG article's focus on the headline was not the conclusion at all.  They did have very clear ideas and Eugene-specific solutions including ideas dealing with the rain.  The presentation was very optimisic and prescriptive.


What an excellent program! Hopefully more associate teachers will be able to get their degrees and more young people will see the importance of getting a teaching degree and giving back.


Steven; "Every abortion drama has three main characters . . ."

Yea and we " heard stories" about you also. Grow up idiot


Which turd smells the best ?


No matter what, it is not a very good beer. I've tried many times, just to support a local business, but way to filling and didn't taste great.  Oh, and thanks to Farmer Dave and Klastri for the good information.

And yet all of the Republicans showed up for Obama's inauguration! They did not boycott him. They showed respect.


Once upon a time many years ago, I knew a kid who loved to race his car down the Likelike Highway.  He once raced with a 1949 Ford Coupe, Flathead 8, all rusted and passenger side door had to be tied with a rope.  At best he would lose every race to the newer and faster cars, but it was all guts and no brains, those days.  It wasn't until one night he hit the curb and spun around two or three times ending up facing the opposite direction.   Scared the living crapo out of him and now he is older and much more mellow a person that drives no faster than 60 at the most.  Live it and learn, lucky to be alive today.  Cars that are confiscated should be sent to the metal recovery place where they grind up the whole car.  If they need transport to get to work, catch the bus.  Break the law willfully then pay the price.  Otherwise drive with respect for others and drive safely.  Live to see what life has in store for you, good and bad.


Keep in mind the pay raises for those in the trenches and golden donations for those at the top.


So what ?


They used the term descriptively, not prescriptively. Naming white supremacy is not the same as being a white supremacist. Surely you have to see this.


More click bait journalism.


I have no problem with holding retained earnings in a company.  But pay should only go to people who work at the company and wives and especially children should not be able to get dividends.  Full stop.  Full disclosure,  I also own one of these companies.  I don't give money to my family to lower taxes and never have.  In this way all of the taxes that are payable are eventually paid,  just like an RRSP.


There's a slight difference here. The Republicans are saying that they will not approve any nominee Obama puts forth, and that he should do the "right thing" and not even nominate someone.  Voting against someone based on an ideological difference is entirely different.

That's a wee bit harsh...

But his constant claims of being a feminist are shameless pandering.


Form a crown corporation, Government-funded, Government-mandated "investment bank" to stimulate funding of "projects" and:

Throw in a $218 million per year Government funded "Invest in Canada Hub" fund to stimulate the bank's business?

Good grief, have the Liberals not learned?

Canada is not a third world banana republic where the economy is controlled by tax-payer funded, government-dispensed pork fed to their friends!

No, no, no!


That's a possibility, but not necessarily the case.  If Dad makes enough for everyone to have a generous helping, but kids take double a normal helping, & worse, take a couple bites, decide they don't like it, & trash it, that's a problem. And yes, we are in a social group where this very thing happens.  Our host will cook several racks of ribs, the rest of us bring side dishes, plenty for the entire group.  But there are a couple of kids that will pile their plates to a ridiculous level, eat a few bites of some things, and not touch others (I have seen one kid try it, says "Ewww!" & that's the end of anyone else trying theirs) & leave a piled up plate on the table while they head off to play.

There's no problem with people eating, but there's no reason they should take huge amounts before everyone has a turn, and there's nothing wrong with teaching kids to take a normal amount to begin and come back for seconds after everyone has their food, and they know what they like.

The Rox should offer Holland a 1-year deal only, and not a multi-year contract, and that also goes for any closer they try to find through trade.


Pedophiles defend pedophiles.


It is becoming more competitive, no question, but we need to look at it from a macroeconomic perspective.  The dentists still make close to a 40% margin and with the bankruptcy rate of under 2%, Canada is probably the best market in the world to be a dentist.  In the past dentists were able to be very successful with the "if you build they will come approach".  In the big cities the dentists need to approach the idea of opening their practice the same way as any other business owner.  In a more competitive industry there will be some dentists taking short cuts while others will work harder to provide a greater overall patient experience. At the end of the day, the dentist who takes care of their patients will do well.


At a childrens' party to boot. Morons.


This is beautiful. Thank you Mayor Berkowitz and First Lady Mara Kimmel.


I like your first sentence but her waffling was simply a knee jerk reaction to the 16% in the polls. I also saw one that had her at 13%, approving the tolls would put her in single digits


The AP uses the term "Muslim Majority countries" because the greatest percentage of citizens in the countries are Muslim. Your source is discussing not the percentages, but the absolute number of people in the world who are Muslim. For example, China has more Muslims than Syria although most people in China are not Muslims. See  http://www.pewforum.org/2009/10/07/mapping-the-global-muslim-population/ ,
I believe the AP term is still misleading because the seven countries in the original order were chosen during the Obama administration for enhanced security measures. It is unlikely the Obama administration selected the seven countries because they were majority Muslim countries. The new Executive Order ( https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/03/06/executive-order-protecting-nation-foreign-terrorist-entry-united-states ) provides the history of the countries being put on the list, including the Obama Administration's reasons for each individual country.


"…given that Clinton was heavily favoured to win in all pre-election polls."

Uh, Thatch, that IS the reason they intervened or haven't you been paying attention? They wanted to change the channel and that seems pretty obvious to most thinking people.


I don't know what you're talking about re Alberta, but reporters at Trump rallies during his campaign were in fear of their lives.


The joke is that Canada, with it's low paying, no training available, low resources, one or two customers, risk adverse, tall poppy syndrome, old boys network infested high tech companies actually think they matter compares to similar American companies.

The problem with Canada is the society's mentality - risk adverse, slow moving and that will never change.

Canada should stick to its core businesses: water, wood, oil/gas and of course, the best industry of all - immigration.  Cause smart people LEAVE Canada to REAL companies.


If they get training to actually do the teaching part, that would great, if they would do it.  :)


Dem' government people should tax foreign customers of Chinese restaurants. That way more Chinese food for us locals at better price, especially us service workers...wah wah wah.


Christy belonged to the corporate forces of YES. Thus, a cost a benefit analysis was not in her best interests. She pulled the BCUC from performing their duties because she and her corporate sponsors didn't want them to turn it down again.


No where to be seen,  and  certainly not on Prime Minster Trudeau's visiting list a the  G.20 in Hamburg.


It is a sad situation.  He was released from a mental institution the day before he killed Ms Little.  He should have been kept there until they knew how the pain medication would affect the anti-psychotic medications, IF he was taking the medications!

"Clallam County Superior Court Judge Christopher Melly ordered Bonner to receive involuntary medication to restore his competency Sept. 15."
Would he voluntarily take the medication if he's ever released?


If Jordan and Egypt donated it to the new Arab state while they had it, there would be no dispute now.

Jordan and Egypt donated these lands after they attacked Israel, lost these lands to Israel and then decided to donate something that was not theirs.

International law labels these lands Israel's but politicians call it "illegitimate". Including Russian politicians, while still keeps Konegsberg and consider it fully legal.


$3,600 a month for two children in an unregistered daycare is hardly subsidized childcare. This is the going rate in Toronto.


It's no longer necessary to defend, deflect or spin what passes for routine Chinese behavior.
You're not going to change anyone's opinion and the bar for what is expected of China is set so low that there is little interest in China's latest insult to one's sensibilities.


The Beluga, outside of Cook Inlet, are harvested exclusively by indigenous Alaskans and Canadiens; subject to prohibitions and quotas in a effort to protect the species and preserve area customs. I can't speak to the practices outside of North America.

Most news outlets in the USA, the UK, and in Canada do not base their writings on facts, but on geopolitical goals. If saying something might provoke a public reaction that aids furthering their geopolitical or ideological goals, then most news outlets will say that thing, even when it is entirely false, defamatory, and leading to great injustice and prejudice against the target.

The former Technical Director of the NSA, who designed the NSA's data transfer systems, and who wrote much of the NSA's own spy tools that they now use against foreign governments and USA citizens, Bill Binney, has resolutely asserted that the "hacks" were no hacks, but leaks, and that calling them hacks is entirely ignorant of what hacking is, how it works, and what traces it leaves behind.
Also, a large group of current and former USA intelligence workers have signed a public appeal stating that a forensics examination conclusively proves that the DNC wasn't hacked, but accessed by a DNC insider & leaker.


Well they got this one right. I just watched 2nd Browns preseason game first quarter only (last one he played), and Brock had two drives in it, first possession was on Giants 39, they made 10 or so yards and his pass was blocked and picked by JPP. Second drive started on Brown 30 yards, and they made 1 first down before they went 3 and out. In both drives he constantly overthrew receivers and was close to throw 2nd pick. Oh yeah, we got a steal in this one...


Years ago Jim Musselman's first company JM Petroleum was the largest purchaser of crude oil from Anadarko.  We used them because they were the best run and an honest operator.  Jim Musselman was a hands on owner.  He sold that company and has found and developed oil reserves all over the world.  Based upon his history he will do a good job in Alaska.


SHOULD THINK ABOUT CHANGING THE NAME TO CANADUH-ARM


The 'infighting' you allude to wasn't really so much infighting as it was that the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs in 2013 decertified the village's governing body, and on appeal from those ousted leaders, the Interior Board of Indian Appeals upheld the bureau’s decision.
The 'horrible infighting', as you call it, was in fact, the request from the village's new sanctioned tribal leaders who asked U.S. District Judge Ralph Beistline to enforce a Nov. 4 ruling that ordered the former leaders to stop presenting themselves as Newtok's governing body.
As for your charge that there was embezzlement and misappropriation of funds, where is your evidence for your wholly evidence-free unfounded charges?
You called the people of Newtok 'undeserving'.
I can tell one thing from your comment, ….you deserve no respect.


Save it share blue guy...Hillary was far more entrenched than Agent Orange.

One of these days (when your income/perceived security doesn't depend upon it) you'll open those eyes and see the  common threads linking a majority of things we both detest.


Ignore the polls

During the Brexit vote and the American election we were admonished to look the the polls, look at the polls. Polls  are never wrong.: Trump is go down in flames and Brexit will fail.   Polls Polls Polls. But now ignore them.
