So many people out there who actually believe the Fake News stating vaccines cause Autism, a host of other health related issues. Refuse to be vaccinated, have their children vaccinated. Later when they or their children come down with the preventable diseases, they whine about the medical costs.

And yes, there is a very, very small percentage of people who on their own, have a reaction to a vaccine. Just the way it is.


It's no mystery.  Extremists on the right are driving people farther left, and extremists on the left are driving people farther right.  In other words, we are polarizing each other.  Then throw in a good measure of ego, which prevents us from cooperating, as this would be seen as a sign of weakness.


Perhaps- but the question that ADN refuses to ask is, "why do they deserve all the credit, when thousands of people have contributed to the building and construction of the Alaska Highway?"

Pete Kelly says the legislature doesn't respond to orders from the administration! Well heck, they don't respond to our orders either! We need a balanced budget this session Mr Kelly and all you other obstructionist Republicans who apparently only take orders from oil companies and ALEC, oh and the Koch Bros.


Jay,

Kudos to you for participating in this forum.  Other than one other elected official which I won't name, you are the only one I can recall who does.  Sometimes the RG reporters participate and kudos to them also.  You may be a CC but you are also a voting citizen who can and should freely express their opinion.  Free speech my man, use it or lose it!


Harvey is now a cat 4 hurricane. This will be bad. No joke.


I'm sure Agent Orange would have lost the Electoral College as well as the popular vote, except that a surprising number of white women voted for him.  Which gets me wondering how much the average American is really bothered by the fact Agent Orange sexually abused women.


Think about how bad it would be without the EPA. You wouldn't be able to even see Denver. Rocky Flats would be a nuclear waste land, and pollution from the mines would be far worse.


uh, no...Johann.....Bush Administration may try to destabilized Syria but it wasn't until Obama and Hillary encouraged the rebels element within Syria to rise up did the Civil War began. Initially they were somewhat successful and Obama threw them some bones but as the Russians got involved, ISIS grew, the rebels were fighting a two front war.  You are trying to shift blame like most liberal Nazis. Simple fact is, this war started in July of 2011 after the Arab Spring. This movement was encouraged by Obama and by Hillary who was our Secretary of State. You may write pretty but your misinformation is what it is, misinformation. Go read a book on it and if reading hurts your brain, hit the youtube. Most people would just peeked at Wikipedia to know that you are full of it and maybe you should too. Perhaps you worked for the liberal media during your times. Your lies could be better. Sorry Johann.....let me know when your wooden nose stretch too far....I got a saw for you to borrow!!


I haven' met anyone who understands Pers in 20 years. Pers is not a funded pension.
It is leveraged financial scheme.  The actuary is not God. 8% is without  facts.  It is a fantasy.
It is for the airhead elite and other harlequin readers. The true Unfunded liability is over 80 Billion.  So, they borrow the money nitwit.  Interest compounds  exponentially. Do the math.


Cancel them all. Students go to college for the education.


Not more military coming to Hawaii, PLEASE NO. Where do all or these people go to live with there families? No wonder we have a housing crisis here. If they are to come here make sure that they live on base housing. It is time we think of a way to have the federal government move all there employees back to the mainland. It is a perk for them to live here at our expense. Think Edward Snowden, he could have done his job living in a bunker in North Dakota. I had a military man, retired , that told me that without the military here in the islands we would be "just another backwater". So be it, I can live with that!


Bribery is.


Hmm..."Jim Johnsen is a member of the Make Alaska Competitive Coalition's steering committee." Your credibility is in question. Do not suggest solving any of Alaska's financial problems with giant mines. Pebble....or anything involving Barrick Gold, BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, etc. as they have terrible records of civil disruption, environmental destruction, violence, the creation of government corruption in most of the countries in which they operate. Make them show that they can keep their promises to other countries in which they operate before they come here.  It does not seem right that the president of UAA belongs to this organization and I hope you don't belong to KRSA either. Build bridges not fear and destruction. This is especially important away from Anchorage.


Effective laws against fake news are unlikely. I think we need to include mandatory courses on critical thinking in high school and university.  If I was in charge every high school student would read Freakonomics and every university student would read Thinking Fast and Slow.


Why weren't women marching against Bill "Slick Willy" Clinton? He was a serial womanizer.


Connect the dots... Walkers theft of the PFD will have all kinds of consequence. Why should any Alaskan obey laws when the politicians don't. Hillary staged to win in a landslide. Higher taxes and socialism is about the only way to steal it back from them. It won't do us any good but at least the marginally rich will feel the pain too. We may even be speaking Russian with her weak foreign policy. If they won't share the wealth we will share our misery.


There is no feud.  Bannon and his super PAC are going after Rinos and the party base is right behind him.  No actual Republicans in a political sense are targeted.  Only Rinos.  And we know who they are.


The most adamant statements come from the most ill informed.


Less than the lazy union workers we have doing the jobs now?


It sure seems like he has a hair trigger...


I always criticize the Kathy...It does not mean that I dont vote for her. Honestly, I dont believe the conservatives who drive the nation from the church point. Religion has nothing to do with politics...Conservatives use the religions and drive the policy accordingly and woo the people and save the money and spend it on rich corporates....This is why I dont believe them. Liberals just tax the people and lure them back by giving some subsidies and loot the money in the middle. We have to choose the little thief instead of big thief. Thats why I will vote to Kathy.


You're correct, Seaotter.  The bigots and racists like so-called Al Askan, Kyle Craig, Kearon, and Obooba and a handful of others will soon rear their heads.  I'm going to ask ADN to block their bigot comments.


Not selfish at all.  I reiterate: they can bloody well clean it up when I am gone. We have spent much of their adulthood cleaning up after them. What goes around comes around. Some of it is stuff they left here,  and it has been stored for free. They will probably want the stuff or can sell it, so it's not like they will be uncompensated.


and she voted for Obama ...TWICE! so everyone listen to what she thinks...Not!

The difference JJ is that Hillary...and her records were under subpoena when she deleted them all and scrubbed her hard drive ...the woman is going to prison and if she is able to steal this election she will be impeached before she is sworn in


And yet voters approved $150 million Measure 98 without approving any new revenue sources.

Let's not pretend this is a politician problem. Voters are to blame as well. Where did they EXPECT that money to come from? The sky?


short answer - the looks
considering you got it for free no wonder you happy


Yes there are some good things about Obamacare but the main negative is the central government screwing with the individuals personal plans. Expanding Medicaid, a federally subsidies state pre-existing condition insurance programs and mandated major medical plans would have addressed the majority of the nation's issue and not a single existing plan would have been negatively affected. People could have kept their plan and their doctor. Instead Obama and his cronies had to go off the wall and screw with EVERYONE'S plans.
Bottom line Obamacare is the first step toward single payer, I know it and so do the Democrats/Socialist and that is the reason they will fight to death to keep that disaster alive.

*sigh* and this is when I really miss Uncle Dan Inouye. He would have come out with a sharp rebuke, and probably a denunciation of what the President said in his press conference. But he would have never, ever, ever declared that the current person sitting in the White House "not" his president. He understood that there is politics, the point of view of a president that might not be his own and the unity of the government.
Unfortunately, as mentioned to me a while ago, Sen. Schatz in his "titled" position is no Dan Inouye, no matter how you look at him.
Man, now I really miss the class and realistic sensibility of Uncle Dan.


Several people were denied entry for this reason just recently. American protections under the constitution apply to those already in the country, not those wishing to enter.


Nope, I did not "make this up".  I actually was asked to comment on the General McKiernan War Plan To Win Afghanistan while at Afghanistan in Command of A Joint Special Warfare Task Force Afghanistan "Independent" as I had been involved with Afghanistan since CIA Operation Cyclone, 2001 First Attempt CIA Operation Neptune Spear and the 2001 to 2002 Overthrow of the Afghan Taliban Government.  After General McKiernan was Relieved of Command by President Obama, I was asked to comment on the Obama War Plan To Win Afghanistan, identical to the McKiernan War Plan To Win Afghanistan, I had disagreed with both Generals, based on what the U..S.S.R. attempted to do during CIA Operation Cyclone, the minimum number of U.S. Military Combatants (Conventional Warfare Ground Forces) needed would be above a Million, and twice that number of U.S. Military For Logistical Support.


Winning and losing may mean different things to different athletes. But the essence of competition is ultimately that, winning and losing.

I’m not a bike racer, but I try to ride faster than the guy in front of me. I’m not a scratch golfer, but I try to beat my buddies for a quarter a hole. That said, I’m really trying to ride faster and shoot better, to improve my own abilities or overcome a personal best or simply do something I’ve never done.

My first century ride (100 miles), it was a victory just to finish and, to be candid, rather emotional. The next one, I finished 20 minutes faster, and that was emotional too. Those were victories. Without that motivation, why pays your money and takes your chances?

“You must do the thing you think you cannot do,” Eleanor Roosevelt once said. Good philosophy.

If you’re not playing to win, however you define it, what’s the point?


Very true, Bernhardt is a "walking conflict of interest" to the big government oppressive socialist agenda and it's supporters which means he is perfect for the job.


The lawyers realized a gravy train was going to be demolished if this happened so the White Paper was left to collect dust.


Actually, in the hands of a skilled user, a musket could fire 2 to 3 rounds a minute. (https://tinyurl.com/y7jqulpv) As for barely killing a squirrel, they were used to kill a lot of soldiers.

Do you remember the quote about a house built on sand?


First, the disclaimer. I was opposed to Trump's election and I'm greatly concerned about what the next four year's hold with him as president. But...

Hope is about more than mundane politics. It's a personal, day to day decision to live the promise of the resurrection even when everything around us tempts us not to. For me, that promise doesn't rise or fall based on elections or regime changes.

As concerned as I am about the new administration, in my heart of hearts I know that who the president happens to be at any given moment doesn't really have a lot to do with the ebbs and flows of my life. I still love, I still sin, I still break relationships and I still try to mend them. Those are the things around which my hopes center.

As for politics and government and matters pertaining to the greater good, I will continue to pick my battles and work for justice as God gives me the light to understand it.


In the valley we are lucky to find someone willing to run against current legislators--all Republicans firmly settled into their seats. Democrats running against Huggins and Neuman, for example, routinely receive 20 to 25 percent of the vote. It's a vicious circle  Incumbency is too powerful.


Trump, not Obama, is the first real "minority president" - elected by a noticeable minority of even the voting portion of the people.  Bush could have laid claim to that mantel as well but it's truly and starkly obvious with the orange idiot.  He's done near irreparable damage to the democracy already and he hasn't even taken office.  I would be happy to have the electoral college save us from him since he so clearly doesn't represent the will of the people.


I don't believe you should have to pay for someone else's religion, but that's not the subject at hand.

This is about the choice regarding abortion. The US House hasn't said "No abortions", they said "we don't want to pay for it." Very different things. If the pro-choice people still have choice, and the pro-life people don't have to pay for someone else's choice that they cannot abide, is that not a middle-ground that can be started from?

I still expect vigorous debates on the issue, of course. But everyone has a little bit of what they wanted.


Are you sure it isn't how you were thrown off the bench?

When does the new Head Coach take over?  Why was she not at this game and spring practices?

This article is laughable. Ottawa failed Khadr? I would think a Canadian citizen fighting with a terrorist organization against Canadian allies is the one who failed Canada.

" THIS is how she repays him??"

Since when did an elected representative's job become an issue of quid pro quo? Murkowski was elected to work for what she believes is in the best interest of those that she was elected to represent. While I don't always align with her politically, I will give her credit for standing firm on what she believes is right for Alaskans, regardless of political backlash.


Sorry but evidence and science prove you are mistaken


Moran is an Irish name. Been around Ireland for centuries. One of them must have escaped.


No evidence? I didnt realize that many right wing cranks were part of the investigation.
There has to be enough evidence for the most respected law enforcement officials to continue the investigation. Then there is Trump's desperate behavior and those magnificent profits on golf courses. When this is all over my money says Trump's dirty Russian money was being laundered through them. Trump couldnt keep a casino open where people basically walk through the door and hand you money.


I've never seen a government spend so much blessed time with people who (one or two paycheques down the line) won't remember if they'd been given a raise or not -

"AL stands for the proposition that if remaining in objective adultery is the 'best one can do under the circumstances', that is an acceptable understanding of how to conduct oneself." Actually, that sounds quite like the sort of gradualism practiced in the church's pastoral strategies (notably by Paul VI in regard to contraception and by his theologian Jan Visser in regard to gay couples). Perhaps you would care to say how the thesis you quote should be differentiated from the latter? The trouble is that the Correctio Filialis folk give the impression that their critique bears not only on Francis but on the entire Vatican II Church. One of its signatories is a schismatic leader.


Economic recovery is a proven antidote to cultures  of violence.

Case in point:   The "Celtic Tiger" recovery in Ireland resulted in a big decrease in terrorism.   Why?  Because when there are jobs and the possibility of prosperity, people tend to put aside their grievances.

The federal Liberals continue to poll strongly http://www.ipsos-na.com/news-polls/pressrelease.aspx?id=7622. However it is interesting to note that, as the link suggests, their support has been "trickling downwards". It will be interesting to see what happens to this trend once both opposition parties have leaders in place and begin to provide a coherent and organised challenge to this meandering government. For now it is hard to hang one's hat on the Cons or NDP until we know who will be at the respective helms (If the Cons chose O'Leary they will lose. The LEAP manifesto makes the NDP unelectable). As for wondering whether the Liberals will conclude a trade deal with China by 2019, the answer is they won't. The deal with Europe took 7 years to consummate with a friendly counterparty. Who trusts the Chinese? Hopping in to bed with them ahead of an election would be a poisoned chalice for the government fraught as such a deal would be with human rights and market access concerns.


Actually, it is not a uniform Canadian health system anymore. The new different money agreements with Ottawa, has changed a solid  system to a new splintered Balkan style.

I don't apologize for this practice.  any, yes, I've met personally with about a dozen different individuals from this site.  I've very much enjoyed meeting them and having face-to-face conversations.  Some of them are folks who have very different views than I have.  We've been able to have interesting and enjoyable visits.  I make no apologies for reaching out to others to encourage such personal interactions, and I thank those persons who were willing , in turn, to reach out to me for our discussions.

Again, I'm always open to such a face-to-face discussion with you. Gary Crum

Roy Kamisato, The article contains more facts than just that.

Photo caption:  "A road leads to DuPont Pioneer’s fields on the North Shore of Oahu next to Waialua High School."

"Residents of West Kauai reached settlements last year with DuPont Pioneer for property damage caused by dust blown from the company’s fields."

"The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is investigating a complaint by Earthjustice that the seed industry’s application of pesticides on agricultural fields disproportionately harms Native Hawaiians."

"The EPA sought to fine Syngenta Seeds $4.8 million after several Kauai employees were sickened by exposure to chlorpyrifos in January 2016. The federal agency is also investigating separate incidents involving alleged misuse of pesticides by Monsanto and Syngenta Seeds in Hawaii."


The bar has been lowered until it is now sitting in a shallow trench since the election of President Manbaby. Republicans want that tax cut for their rich donors so bad they'd shop their moms to MS-13.


You clearly don't understand my position on this issue.  My hope is to save lives---not see them enabled to live a lifestyle that will result in them being another dead person on our streets. Tough love is needed---not enabling as we do now.  My solution will save lives---your solution , and that of others who think like you , is to continue to enable the street lifestyle , rather then really help them, which will result in more deaths.

"Science won't matter to the people against abortion."
.
Except the part where I said that science absolutely matters, and showed you- through science- that life indeed starts at conception.
.
What's more, you seem like you're trying to force a Leftist narrative on something where it doesn't exist. I never brought up religion-- you did. You want government out of the ability to choose for abortion, but absolutely don't mind them affirming that choice, or paying for it. .
It sounds like your identity politics is what is carrying your specious argument, not logic or philosophical consistency.


O'bamacare was NEVER supposed to be continually subsidized.  It was subsidized ONLY to sell people like you on the idea.  Have you forgotten that O'bama himself ordered POSTPONEMENT of the last increase until AFTER the election?  To HIDE the Democrat cost factor even longer.  Did you forget about that?

Since many have noted a majority are in favour, note that at one point a majority were not in favor of same-sex marriage and yet, Canada did the right thing when it came to minority rights.

It wouldn't be hard to poke many holes into the arguments in this article. At least the premise is correct that this is about immigration. The Globe continues to misinform Canadians on the issues. Immigration is what is suppressing GDP growth in Canada, keeping housing expensive, jobs go to newcomers instead of Canadian families, smart? Far from it. Decreasing quantity and controlling for quality are both absolutely necessary, nothing else matters. But it doesn't stop there. Conservative candidates are barley scratching the surface, and the less they dig into the issues, the further behind they fall. You can tell Kellie knows a bit more than the rest on the issue, because she is the one that talks more substance, even reflected in more quotes in the article. The other candidates somewhat wishy–washy, unclear about the economy and immigration, or their understanding is backwards in some cases. Canadians know the issues better than the Candidates.


This woman is part of a culture I barely knew existed - Russians in Persia.

None the less, quite the blend of religions, cultures, etc...

Smoking Joe. While I'm not a climatologists like you and your friend, I have lived in Alaska for over 60 years. And the last 4 winters have been totally different from all the over 56 winters I lived through. Lack of snow and no 20 or 30 below cold snaps for weeks is not normal. Yes, the planet has been warming since the last ice age, but the recent rapid acceleration of warmer temperatures doesn't fit into your theory very well. And I didn't want to bring up any facts, just my observations.


You did not explain how this actually raises maintenance costs for bridge or roads. You just make the assertion. One of the major things  you gloss over is that wildlife does not always deal well with intrusion.  The present agreement was worked out in concert with 10 states.

How does this agreement increase maintenance costs? Which wildlife is thriving? Coyotes - yep. deer - likely. To claim that these birds will be just fine is not born out. The environmental needs are not just where adult birds can live. If you bother to look, you will learn that it's a lot more than acres available. Habitat fragmentation and invasive species for example  are important factors the present agreement considers. This was not some "Hey - let's do this" thing. People who actually know what they are talking about worked together with state governments to arrive at a decent plan.

No projection, just facts.

Interesting that there are no initiatives on building resilience or - even better - antifragility. The latter is the concept that short term exposure to ideas that are challenging makes people stronger in the long run. This is analogous to the way that people build muscle or strengthen their immune system. It's fine to have resources in place, but we need to ensure that there are ways to prevent mental health problems in the first place.

How does it come "global warming" or "greenhouse gases" are so rarely mentioned in the articles about rising temperatures at North Pole? Moreover, il would also be interesting to refer to the Keeling curve which shows the steady increase in CO2 on Mauna Loa (Hawaii). It seems there is among scientists a fear of retaliation by the future Trump administration if they dare write such words. Unfortunately, climate change is not a "hoax". We can feel it in Europe with high temperatures never seen before.


To your point about how civility needs to re-enter the entire human experience, our very own Herald has taken a giant step toward that goal with the introduction of the Civil Comments commenting system.  Now if they would just do something about the decidedly uncivil local columnists, Schwab and Burke that they publish, we'd be even further down the path to civility.  But, of course, they won't. I have a sneaking suspicion that the Herald is perfectly fine with Schwab and Burke's output and they rationalize it by invoking the "Trump exception" which basically states you can throw all journalistic ethics and standards out the window when the subject is Trump.


"The proposal is a one-page outline"
Right.  That's not a tax plan.  That's a press release.  But no doubt it'll take the spotlight off of his completely ineffective  first 100 days, as well as the questions surrounding his Russia election ties.


Agreed...hard drugs and alcohol and very little in the way of mental health treatment are the biggest issues. Hard labor would take some gusto out of the repeat offenders.


Trudeau and his team should read Chapter IX of  'Democratic Government and Politics' by J.A. Corry and J.E. Hodgetts..  Among the undesirable tendencies of proportional representation the authors mention a proliferation of political parties: 'To establish the tendency of proportional representation towards a multiplication of parties, one could rely on the actual results in the countries of continental Europe that used proportional rpresentation.  For example, in Germany before the adoption of the list system in 1919, there were only half a dozen significant political parties.  When Hitler abolished all parties in 1933, there were twice that number of significant parties as well as a number of sects endeavouring to assert themselves as political parties. ' (...) The inevitable result of a multiple-party system is weak government....

Our Justin should realize that Adolf Hitler became Chancelor of Germany under a proportional representation system of voting.


The USA will be perpetually at war until it collapses


I asked how much we have spent on this so far and my comment was turned down. Was it not civil?


Yeah, and they dealt with it and that's why none were left for Bush to find.


Please cut all the negative drama.  We deserve so-much better.  I'm gaining respect for McCain.


I believe it was more like the proverbial loose thread on a sweater -- he was caught plagiarizing a speech about the Sandy Hook massacre, which then opened him up to more scrutiny and a more extensive pattern of behaviour.


Great column. Lots of fuel for the fire. Quoting that old Doofus Pape does NOT add credibility. His capacity to restate the obvious...now in 2 newspapers...generation after generation...is quite astounding.

Your stuff is usually really helpful in a world of histrionic analysts howling for attention.


The 'fake news' phenomena is not new. It has only become topical since the election of Trump. Media manipulation of the news has been going on for a very long time. The Liberal/left/progressive element benefited from it considerably. Now that is has been employed against them, they are filled with their characteristic self-righteous indignation. The fact is that media credibility has been severely damaged by playing to partisan consumers and the restoration of any semblance of public confidence is not going to be achieved by government subsidies. One has only to look at the fact there is far less public faith in politicians than the relatively low ratings for journalists.


Loren,

There are times when even a journalist has to forget any pretense of whatever and just write the story that's on your heart. Thank you for doing that.

It is truly unfortunate that this situation over the ordination of women has escalated to the point of requiring the NAD leadership to resist when they are used to things being done in harmony. To borrow a line from back in my days working with a community anti-drug coalition, I think they need to "Just say NO!" If that doesn't settle the issue, they need to be willing to stop remitting any funds to the GC until the coercion is stopped. Then watch and see how quickly the coercion disappears when those African unions that get a portion of their operating funds from North America find their money stream getting reduced.


It is tricky.  On the one hand, local people should be selected.  On the other hand, a well-organized local politician can be a complete bozo and still get the nomination because of a small core of fanatics at the local level.  That is how our riding got stuck with Rob Anders for years and years, in a safe conservative riding.  If anything, there should be some allowance for parties to bring in qualified outsiders, above and beyond having them sit as MPs.  In the US, you don't have to be an elected politician to serve in cabinet.


To the contrary, you have already lost.  Neither you, nor anyone, else has come up with a reason why women can't be priests.


Wow, a lot of words just to get to the point that we need to pay taxes!  Mr. Burke seems to forget that the ideas for the creation of the institutions were formulated and initially implemented without a tax burden, and that the funding of these institutions needs to be continually be subject to the public review.  No, Mr. Burke, taxation without limitation is NOT a good idea, and we need to implement more restrictions on taxation to insure that public funding does not become more of a burden than it needs to be.


I think she tweeted in defense of the legging "culprits". I still won't vote for her, though.


Turns out you don't have to go all the way to Afghanistan to find the Taliban.  We could have saved a lot of blood and treasure if George Bush had just invaded Mr. McCarthy's and Roy Moore's houses instead.


The City, under the Harris administration, made those renovations. Still taxpayer money but it didn't come out of the General Fund.

And HECO? They had nothing to with this unless you mean BWS who shouldn't have to deal with the stairs. Their job is our water, NOT managing tourist attractions.


The biggest problem the Honolulu Ethics Commission faces is that it is not independent.  It is under the mayor via corporation counsel, and it gets its funding from the Honolulu City Council.  It's extremely disappointing that the Honolulu Charter Commission has so far decided not to put any questions on the ballot that would make improvements in this area.


She ticks too many boxes to not be included.  Style over substance with this goobermint.


"many FN people have voted with their feet....a majority of Status Indians now live off Reserve...."

And in a handful more generations, this "voting with their feet" will likely and hopefully decisively end the self-segregation as young people realize that the world is a vast and wonderous place. Thankfully, there has been such a massive focus on preserving their culture that they will be able to choose whether to forego it or not.  All in due time.


"Once the champions of people who came home from work with hands dirty from toil and sweat, too many establishment Democrats went over to the dark side, taking up the cause of the well-manicured executives (think: Goldman Sachs) who write the checks and the mercenaries who deliver them (for a substantial cut, of course).

The lust for loot which now defines the Democratic establishment became pronounced in the Bill Clinton years, when the Clinton-friendly Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) abandoned its liberal roots and embraced “market-based solutions” that led to deregulation, tax breaks, and subsidies for the 1 percent. Seeking to fill coffers emptied by the loss of support from a declining labor movement, Democrats rushed into the arms of big business and crony capitalists."

the usa our largest trading partner, connected directly to 40% of our total GDP will not ratify squat, they will not create any such tax, they will support thier economy and we will lose!

Two teenage girls partying with an almost 50 year old man over (apparently) two different states, even when alleged sexual abuse occurred not long after they first met.   Hunh!


I am presenting facts, and those facts undercut your argument completely.

If a chemist, or a teacher, or an engineer gets advice from H&R Block..does that make them an H&R Block chemist, teacher, or engineer?

And if that teacher becomes a principal, and one of her teachers abuses a child does that make H&R block guilty by association?

That's the watertight reasoning we've learned to love here under your signature.  Nice and tight.


Woody's is not cheap. Burrito Azteca at Denver and Rosa Parks is.


Not for me to speculate but the late showing of Wonder Woman doesn't let out until 1:20.  Don't be so cynical!


Oops, I was wrong. To be like the herpes virus it would have to go away, and then come back. This thing just won't go away. It's more like the AIDS virus.


But why would you want to?


The irony. Your logic is completely backwards. People more likely to raise a confederate flag are those who disrespect our country. AKA all the supporters of these goons and their behavior.

Wonder what those NFL goons behavior would look like if they were on the front lines fighting for the opportunity live their dream in the NFL. Low intelligence, childish goons.


15% upfront sur-tax when foreigners buy and 15% withholding tax when they sell.
That would cool the market quick and let young Canadians of any ethnicity who earn an earnest wage and pay earnest taxes buy their first house.The Tories and NDP are stupid not to propose this to topple the govt


Fat fasciss! Teh systim!


Works just fine if you fall into the "low income" column. The reason the government is cutting back is because of funding. These programs are funded  with tax payers  $$$. There needs to be a limit on how long someone is eligible for housing IF they are not Elders or people with special needs. Programs need to make it mandatory for a JOBS program. It's a disservice to people to allow them to believe that they have no value or anything to contribute to their live. It's a way to control and they don't even get it.


You're misinformed.


Makes sense.


$15 million just to do an 'assessment'?And how many new 'public employees' will be hired for this?Brings back memories of her Pension Plan farce that costs us million$ for a few months of nothing.


From the information presented in the article(s) and the demeanor of the shooter as well as his responses it is clear the guy is actually well reasoned and stable. If you can't see that from his desire to make amends and work it out with the dog owner, then you must not be reading the same story.

If I was placed in the same position, I can't say for certain what I would do with a strange dog rushing my child in a seemingly unrestrained area. For all the guy knew, the dog could have been a stray that had taken up residence in the area.

For the record, I own a dog, and she can be unpredictable, especially around strange adult men, she snarls and snaps inappropriately on occasion and I am keenly aware of it. As such, I make a point to keep her away from strangers, and in all honesty, if she got out and ran at someone and they shot her dead, I wouldn't hold the slightest grudge, it would have been my fault, even though she is generally a good dog and is a part of my family.


If we are ever going to witness a black dog and white dog show,  we are about to witness it.   This new government in Washington will be the best fodder for comedy in a century.  And U need not a stage to have it,  it will happen daily in Washington.... Right in the White House... Right in the Oval office.


Dear G&M Editorial Board,

I appreciate that you usually wait until the day before a federal election to endorse a candidate, but is there any chance you could do a wee favour and write a little piece tomorrow, kindly urging our incumbent PM to not finish his term?

Sincerely,

The Middle Class


I hate to break it to you, but those jobs are never coming back here.  Most of us were smart enough to realize that last November.  This garbage tax plan of theirs is yet another pathetic plan to help stuff the pockets of those at the top.  Oh, don't worry, it will boost the economy and trickle down to everyone else.  haha.  Right!!


Very impressive. Thank you.

"Where is the physician who will impose a lifelong prescription for an (FDA unapproved) untested toxic substance (fluoride), without proven clinical benefit, on a patient he/she has never met, interviewed or examined and without an opportunity to treat side effects?”

“Such dubious behavior would extract appropriate censure from the licensing authority of the physician involved, on the basis that it is unscientific, unscrupulous, unethical, and therefore unacceptable."


"...Mr. Trump has vowed to rip up NAFTA if Mexico and Canada.."

Bunk

I have never seen or heard Trump mention Canada with regard to this. Trumps' focus has been Mexico.


You don't want this.  For maximum decrease of fossil fuel, we need to have PV on as many roofs as possible plus storage (e.g. pumped hydro or some such) and have everyone connected to the grid.  Not all businesses and tall buildings have the area to supply their own power.  And energy storage can be done more cheaply cooperatively.

If we make each house stand alone with regard to electricity, we'll have to oversize each home's PV and storage which is a waste of money.


active: "Which feature of this forum is bothering you? Delete or Submit?"

Neither.
It's the unethical re-submit you perform to run from responses when you lose an arguement.


Notice your the only one who "likes" your comment.


It would be interesting to compare test results by city - e.g  Vancouver vs.  Galgary.


How witty!! And original!!


Until "it" happens.


Again Neil, read for content. Nowhere did I claim "more guns" were an answer, nor that I am "ok with the status quo." I simply pointed out the fact that increasing the number of guns, and legal public carry, in the US does not correlate with an increase in the levels of crime nor violence nor accidents. In fact the correlation is inverse.

I've also noted that gun control cannot be shown, in 40+ years of US data, to have had any positive effects on our crime or violence rates. Thus, wasting limited resources on failed policies is asinine, particularly since we actually have solid data on the behavioral correlates to crim violence.

As for other nations, as you apparently continue to fail to grasp, your cherry-picked countries had lower rates than us -prior- to their 20thC gun control laws & that gun control cannot be shown to have modified their overall homicide & crime rate trends to any statistically significant degree.

But, by all means continue to expose your one-note ignorance.


"The Klan, the White Citizens Councils, and various other violent racist groups have been at it since the Civil War."

And all were Democrats.


You mean Hillary Clinton is a better choice.


In regards to the Canadian Forces transgender policy.....

It has no bearing. It's irrelevant in the Macro picture, because, let's be honest, the Canadian Forces is irrelevant in the Macro picture. We are not the ones keeping the North Koreans in check and ensuring South Korea's livelihood. We are not the reason Taiwan continues to exist as an independent country. We are not the reason Europe is not living under Communism, and why present day Ukraine is still an independent country today. We are not the reason ISIS is in full retreat.

In the main, Canada's military and foreign policy decisions are a moot point. Not so the American military and American foreign policy, even with Trump wanting to pull back.

So, the Canadian military can continue to virtue signal, can continue to spend millions on Transgender members and 'medical' marijuana, and occasionally is allowed to come to the ballpark and play catch with the big boys. But remember, our entire ARMY is half the size of the NYPD.


Looks like the dirty work are all done on the weekend.


EFC1127A, this is what happened at the debate:

Trump accused Hillary “saying in the ninth month you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb.”

First of all, this is a sensational lie. Of course Hillary never said such a thing.

Second, there's no such thing as an abortion in the 9th month. As many people noted here at the time, if a baby is removed from the womb in the 9th month the procedure is a C-section. Or, in some late-term pregnancies that experience complications, labor will be induced.

Hillary then made some very moving comments about the agony women go through who are confronted with serious problems late in pregnancy. For God's sake, try some empathy.

Since over 90% of abortions occur in the first trimester I consider them with no more alarm than spontaneous abortions ("miscarriages"). Actually miscarriages are much sadder, because very often these are pregnancies women greatly desire to bring to term.


I have asked this question from day 1----Germany/Italy/England/France were decimated and largely in ruins after the end of WWII and yet were able  to develop vibrant/successful economies in the years since--meanwhile Somalia,  Sudan, Libya, Yemen etc remain sespools despite foreign aid and in many cases sitting on vast natural resources (i.e oil-Libya)--why can't the people of these countries not take the example of the countries of  Europe and improve their own countries??


What are you talking about? The pipeline is 800+ miles long, with very little of it in Valdez.


Altercation is unlikely as both vessels were in a known traffic corridor. Both are equipped with collision avoidance systems.
Presuming the cargo vessel was in the lane, I'm left wondering if the navel vessel attempted to overtake the larger vessel; and came up short. The black boxes will have the answers to our question.


If police have a hard time detecting the apparent impairment could it be that these people are not actually impaired at all and are fine to drive but have marijuana in their system? Marijuana effects people much differently and particularly between a heavy smoker and occasional smoker. Why not just do a side of the road sobriety test? If they pass this doesn't it indicate a lack of impairment?


The author is right about two things: (1) a proper debate about this issue was never held; and (2) Canadians  were never asked whether this is what they wanted. Considering what the enormous social and cultural changes that have resulted, this is wrong!


Spruce RR has always been a nice hike except for the ticks, which are the worst I've ever encountered in WA. I think this is also the only place in WA where they've found ticks with Lyme Disease.

No biggy if you take precautions and check your dogs afterward. Always find a bunch on my dogs after a hike there. Ticks don't communicate disease unless they stay on you (or dogs) for quite a while (i.e after they're full or you remove them the wrong way).

That won't stop me from using the improved trail. Just something you have to plan for, just like anything outdoors.


In this country, religious laws and customs are always subordinate to the law of the land. Reasonable exceptions have been made in the courts for certain religious practices, but always on a case by case basis and never in situations where the public was put at risk.

We need not worry about Sharia. What we should worry about is the paranoia of those who would limit the freedom of religion of those of whom they disapprove. When, in the history of this nation, has that ever worked out well?


That's what I said, Roland.  The decision to lay charges should be solely based on evidence.

But what is occurring now is that police are often making the decision not to investigate sexual assaults based on their subjective beliefs about the validity of the complaint.  The result is that the evidence is never even collected.


They'd be further ahead to abolish the Conservative Party.


Speaking for the pedophile community, this discussion board should be a safe space for everybody, including us.  Sure we're different.  So what?  Differences are what make our country great!


So true!


You keep defending this by accusing CNN etc. of publishing "lies" and "fake news".  And yet, you seem to accept Brietbart as accurate reporting even though they have published such warped and factually baseless stories such as:
"There's no Hiring Bias against Women in Tech; They Just Suck at Interviews" and
"Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy" and
"Racist, Pro Nazi Roots of Planned Parenthood Revealed"

If you actually believe the trash you write, you need help.


Jason, I will miss you my brother, former employee, and friend...the drugs, spice, and lifestyle finally came for you like it does for many on the streets of this lost, evil, and brutal city...i told you many times there was only three ways out of the lifestyle jail, sobriety, or death...it breaks my heart that it was death in the end...you will always be part of my family and we will always miss you..."Rest In Peace" my brother... remember there is always a place on the crew for you....


would make sense your post except you omit the glaring fact that Mayor Ford had a lot of personal demons that no one knew about until the scrutiny of the mayor's office shone down on him. He didn't just start smoking crack because he became Mayor.


Murkans need to stop rewarding their fatties.  Being overweight is a problem -- not a cause for celebration.  For example, your current POTUS has got to be pushing 250 lbs.

Eat too much, spend way too much time on Twitter and watch too many sports instead of participating in them and you too could be POTUS even if you lost the popular vote by almost 3 Million votes.

End the insanity !


Probably none. Cocaine isn't nearly as bad nor does it kill like black tar or meth do. All it did is disappoint some party animals from having another crazy fun weekend. LOL


Athletes have every right to refuse to be used as political pawns by sleazy politicians.

However, you seem to have conveniently forgotten about a Boston Bruins goalie skipping a White House visit in 2011.


At what point is it going to dawn on people that Trump is just carrying on being Trump? Being president just gives him a bigger stage to Trump from. The tweets aren't some master plan, they are Trump reveling in his millions of followers. Pundits say that as president, Trump must learn that words have consequences. Is it not clear that Trump cares about only one thing, and that thing is self-aggrandizement? He keeps every magazine cover he appears on, regardless of the story. He was against outlawing CFCs to save the ozone layer because non-CFC hairspray didn't work as well. Now he tweets baseless accusations and forces his administration to burn through dwindling credibility like kindling backing it up. Trump is incapable of exiting his illusion of being smartest, most handsome, most knowledgeable man on earth. When the noise surrounding his collapsing presidency gets to bothersome, he fires off another few tweets and holds another rally, the better to bask in deserved adulation. Sad.


He did report it in the memo. Duh. And then you go blah blah blah.
We'll see how the American process plays out here.


Happy New Year, C.

After 40 years of being a Bronco fan I'm out and they won't get me back.  I haven't missed a game for the past 18 years but its over now.  I have better things to do than watch a bunch of spoiled millionaires play a kids game.  Green Bay and Chicago played last night, which a week ago I would have watched.  I didn't last night but heard about it on the radio this morning in which they talked about everything but the score.  They didn't even say who won the game and I still don't know.  So that's what the NFL has become, a freaking soap opera and not about the game of football.  So NFL Owners and Commissioner you played with fire by allowing this to go on so don't complain while you're getting burnt.  As sad as it will be watching the sport I loved being a part of as a fan for the past forty years I will enjoy watching them get exactly what they deserve.


The Dutch are controlled by the amount of taxes the government takes from them. Here in the US we would not only be controlled by the taxes but people like the ones I mentioned would also use that control for social engineering. I am sure it wouldn't be long before gun ownership would be determined to be a health issue.


Its appears to be the hype of The Pet Rock all over again....and again...and again..


Very well said.


I sure hope so, and then suggest charges or costs against the advocate groups. There has to be responsibility for their actions


There was no "conservative" who could have go elected in 2016, Cruz was being eaten alive by the left, and the right, the senate hates him, Rubio is no conservative, kasich is a dem. Jeb, the rino favorite is and was boring as hell, he and Hillary practically agreed on everything. President Trump is the only one who had the message and the strength to fight back against it hall, and thank God he did.


"The man fired multiple shots, striking his friend in the leg. "

Actually...   it DOES say he shot his friend.


We've reached critical mass in forcing the Democratic party to deal with its left, and we've done it without corporate money and against the opposition of the corporate news media. Sanders has proven that you can run for president without taking money from the rich. That's a remarkable achievement. He's forced Clinton left. If she wants to win in November she had better give us something, because I think it's going to be close.

If she wins she had better govern more from the left, because otherwise her party will face an even larger movement in four years. Look at the age split in the primary votes. I'm old, but the future is clearly left of where the Democrats have been. And Sanders did win in Oregon, which says something about the future of Oregon politics.


Good riddance, I say.
Never to be heard from again, I hope.


Just like what is happening in North Korea. Eventually the majority of normal thinkers will say that the time for strategic patience is over - this prayer thing ends now!


Apparently, Clinton agrees with your comment, considering what became known yesterday about her admitting to having both a public and private position on issues that may not be one and the same - and also agreeing that as she is one with "big money" she is out of touch with the people she is trying to get to vote for her.

No wonder she doesn't want those transcripts released....and has John Podesta so desperate.


ok time for a reality check, harper was a socially closed leader, no Karisma but over all he managed to keep canada doing pretty good compared to all others after the crash. yes he added a lot of debt which he should of stood up to the minority government on but the economy did pretty good too, lots of jobs. when he obtained a majority he began to cut the deficits down significantly without raising taxes. now that by any measure is not easily done, any fool can raise taxes.


What are you gonna bet? You've lost your soul already. The problem is brazeness for drugmoney, gangland wannababbees stranded here beyond the edge of the rreal world. Got locals riled up. They won't stop even if you think you know what their 'demographics' are, they are daring the system and want to go out in a blaze of glory for $200 bucks, a sweet rush, street martyrdom.
Your concern for demographics helped make it become real.
You made this happen. I blame your kind


Few bucks?  Still up 100 USD in the last year.

They'll be fine, just like all the rest.  They are all too big to fail and live off government contracts and get bailouts whenever needed.


Noam Chomsky was saying in a recent interview that comparisons of Trump and Hitler were OTT because Hitler was an ideologue. Trump is a nothing, he cares mainly about himself.

That may be the case but, as you point out, what about the people he chooses to appoint?


Aloha Adam,

Grand Jury's are used by the State also and child abuse would  be a State charge.
I want the cops and prosecutor to be charged with conspiracy and obstruction of justice for protecting the Ramos Family from prosecution of child abuse.
 The original abuse charges are too stale for action and the prosecutor has created the Ramos Family with the "Who Done it" defense.
 This left aside; you are correct.

What is surprising is that South Africa produces so few medals.  With its climate and large sections of its population having social life centred around sports clubs (in the old days mainly white and Indian, now much more mixed) it should clean up.
If less money went to SASCOC and more to the clubs I am sure things would improve.
Mind you, in places like Durban, the ANC has actively worked against the sports clubs, so I do not see that happening.


The Wall Street Journal 4/21/17 "Global Warming Policy Foundation - Prominent climate scientists tell U.S. Congressional committee that climate science isn't working, but can be saved by a 'red team' approach. A group of prominent US climate experts have told a Congressional Committee hearing that climate science is dysfunctional, beset by bias and groupthink, and is using a profoundly unscientific approach. Speaking before the U.S. House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, Professor John Christy told representatives that 'consensus science' as practiced by much of mainstream climatology was 'not science' at all, while Professor Judith Curry explained that 'self-deception' had got the better of far too many climatologist."

"Both concluded that there had been a wholesale failure to use the scientific method in climatology, something that only could be put right by the introduction of official 'red teams' - groups of eminent scientists, who...." Google to read the rest.

Relations with Mexico
More, ad nauseam

What will do after lunch?

The President is a psychotic.


I'm sure the Vision/Rennie/developer machine will try to convince us that the homes need to be knocked down to increase density and add housing.

The reality, of course, is that the homes are knocked down to build huge ugly monster single family dwellings that will largely sit unoccupied and reduce available housing to locals.


Well Layla, likely because Trudeau doesn't practice the kind of divisive politics we've seen from others who are often the more reactionary types. I expect he believes, as other rational, intelligent, people do, that the attack is not only the barbaric murder of innocents but an asssult on the open, tolerant, pluralistic nation that is modern Canada. And that we, despite our differences, stand together against this kind of hate, intolerance, and savagery.

In your case however, you're just trying to score partisan points. It's small yet sadly typical.


These guidelines are not in the US Constitution which grants POTUS the ability to grant pardons.  So what we have is a nonissue given that the US Constitution is the highest law in the land.  It grants the President the "power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment ."

There was an article in Sunday's New York Times about Jeffrey Gundlach, the new "Bond King" in the U.S. (replacing Bill Gross).  Gundlach is both brilliant and has been extremely accurate in his interest rate calls over the past 20+ years.  His most recent call?  he believes the U.S. 10 year will have a 6% yield in five years.  Canada can try all it wants not to follow suit, but at some point we will HAVE to begin the long awaited rise in interest rates.  What TD and RBC have recently done is just the beginning.  And how about the stats in Canada about 1/4 of homeowners have less than $1000 in the bank?  Or how we are now much more in debt but wealthier as well?  Really?  Based on what?  Housing prices,?  Which can't go up forever, and which people can "CURRENTLY" barely afford with rates where they currently are.  Don't forget, many people have lines of credit, and those rates aren't set at a fixed five year rate.  The days of cheap money are gone, and it's time to pay the piper!


Some, yes! I know you weren't directing your question towards me, so I apologize. London, a place where I resided for a few years, is not use to terrorism, at least not 9/11 level terrorism. They have taken a zero tolerance policy, if you will, on any acts of terror. You could sense that they had become fed up with Muslims. I know, not all Muslims are radicals. I beg to differ. I spent 23 years dealing with the Middle East and the EU, and through these experiences, yes, some/many are radical "barbarians"


The "Progressive Left" that panders to the twisted needs of the LGBT Front is not received with open arms by Traditional Russians. Well isn't that just terrible? The problem is discrimination based on sex. Not the way or who or how or even if you have sex. Like Atheist and religious rights of others were is the balance of Justice? Where is the common ground for LGBT in Islam? So what the Russians may or may not had Intrest in our election. Just like the politicians twist the Narrative around at the AFN gathering. All things for all peoples, no losers!  The News is nothing more than a different form of entertainment and what is their own personal self best interest? Ratings! The price they can charge for Comercials!


Heat, water, warming, cost savings, and its good for the environment. You watch that and the  only thing you took away was lighter paint could help but not even equal the proposed solution?


I think he is looking through Francis to his future beyond...


I hope this is the same guy that rifled through my car off dewbery and Dimond.


The Democrats kept watering the ACA down to try and get the Republicans on board.  It went something like this:
Democrats: Hey, so you don't like single payer, but you liked the idea of an individual mandate, so how about that.
Republicans: sure
Democrats: so, we took out single payer and added the mandate, can we count on your votes?
Republicans: Nope
This went on and on.  So the lie that the Rs had no hand in it is exactly that a lie, just one more in a long series of them about the ACA.


CNN ? Yep I'll get right on it!


"Please explain how does allowing bikes improve the wilderness?"

Please explain how banning bikes from areas that I have ridden for 25 years and are now a Wilderness Study Area detracts from Wilderness?


What a load of useless tripe SARAH KENDZIOR.  The guy has barely been in power a few hours and the sky is falling with your predictions of your physic powers.  You lost, get over it.


I'm not familiar with whether it out-competes native ground covers or dies out over time if not maintained, but if it spreads outside the lawn and takes over the surrounding area, that would be invasive.  It is a matter of degree, of course.  A clear example of invasiveness is the purple vetch that spreads in large patches, completely covering the ground, without any help from humans.  I'm not sure if merely surviving qualifies a non-native plant as invasive, or if it has to actively displace and/or harm native flora and fauna.


Maybe so. But he still had to go. No one trusts him, right or left. That's not good for an FBI director.


Finally, some reason is interjected.


So, 1 poster says that the game was over after 18 seconds, the remaining 59 minutes, 42 seconds to go, in other words, 99.5% of the game left to play, of no consequence whatsoever, don't even bother playing it, you get down a goal after 18 seconds, this team, he knew, he could tell, no chance, done like dinner.

It was over.

After just 18 seconds, that poster, he knew.  I guess in much the same way Reggie Dunlop knew about Hanrahan's wife, I can just see said poster screaming, "I know, I know!"


Early this year, I had a nice long chat at a party with a medical marijuana producer in the Ottawa region.  He had actually taken a leave of absence from his government job to start up the operation and see where it went.  The conversation ranged widely over many scientific, medical, operational, and policy topics.  I was very impressed with his knowledge and professionalism.

The good news for many is that marijuana and derived products will be legitimate.  The complicating news for many is that they will have to be *demonstrated* to be legitimate.  If it is going to be a consumer product, it will need to meet the same standards for consumer safety we expect of everything else, from baby cribs to meat.

I'm just wondering when the first product recall will occur and what the public response to it will be.


Chin is a Liberal hardliner. How come he never sued Obama for using the executive order to pass the affordable care act? I hope he's not for making Hawaii a sanctuary state.


"But, because Mr. Trump may do so in the future, Mr. Sessions isn’t answering questions about conversations with the president."

And who knows how Trump may describe those conversations, right, Mr. Sessions?

That's an incredible vote of non-confidence in the President's truthfulness.


Thanks Governor for stepping up and being the adult in the room.

And where is your plan McLeod?..   what`s that?..  you don`t have one? other than spend our savings?......  that`s what we figured.   Your venomous baloney you spit out betrays you great anger at not getting that state job I heard you applied for.


Out, What the author also did not report was the fact that 13 of the 39 positive tests (not sure where 41 came from) were for samples taken prior to the date that any spray had been applied that year, meaning the exposure was not from areal spray. In addition, no objective investigation of potential exposure paths was done for those that tested positive. Add in the fact that there was no chain of custody documentation of the urine samples and that Dr. Barr is the sister of one of the subjects included in the study against all scientific study protocols and you get a what amounts to a junk study.

If only our PM made as much effort to intervene on behalf of the Yazidis.

He managed to bring in 25,000 Syrians to Canada in 2016.

For 2017, the goal for Yazidis is 1,200 people.

Something seems off balance.


Trudeau will finally be forced to appoint Marc Garneau to a top post, probably finance. Garneau is the man who should have been PM but was overlooked for Trudeau's toothy grin and his appeal to stoners and  millennial females.  Ya get what ya vote for.


That's socialism for you.  When presented with evidence to the contrary, double-down on the bet.


In truth, as in any institution involving and engaging the public (i.e. the people), you ought to have proper fitted person’s in the field. If that means law enforcement, psychologists, child protective services, foster care, etc.

The truth is agents/entities/institutions already exist. Real authentic persons enrolled in the particular area’s specializing in child protection ought to be working in an office of the Church. Does the Church get clergy to do the payroll for Diocesan staff? Or does She hire an accountant? Does She merely turn religious into mere teachers? Or, does She hire qualified credited persons who teach? I am not opposed to religious teaching. And even Pope John Paul II and Vatican II encouraged religious to earn/gain their credentials in what particular field they were working in the Church. Likewise, have real persons from actual Law, Psychology, and those who have worked in areas regarding protecting children. They should do the training.


Icon:  You can bet there are millions of Republicans across the nation shaking their heads and asking themselves "how could we be so damn stupid??

They should have remembered the story of the frog and the scorpion.  For years everyone who could read or watch a little TV should have known what kind of man Donald Trump is.  He made NO effort to hide it...he regaled in it.  He boasted of it.  He paraded it for all to see.  He made millions being himself on Reality TV.  The Real Donald Trump is and has been "right there" for all to see.

It seems that, indeed, the scorpion has stung the frog...... More and more GOP leaders are running away from Trump as far and as fast as they can... Down-ballot candidates are cancelling any joint appearances and withdrawing even "lukewarm" support of Trump.  VP Candidate Pence, looking forward to 2020, has condemned Trump's comments and is "praying for his family."  ...that's not a good omen.

The GOP is trying to say "Hey, HE'S NOT REALLY US!!"


Hug your loved ones every chance you can. They can be taken from you in an instant of insanity.


Where should the junkies go?


You are too funny!  Gay men do nothing that straight folks haven't been doing since the beginning of time!  We just do it better!


Actually, there were two plays like that.  About the only drawback to Bolles is if you have a guy who can run past the QB and around the tackle to get at the QB, Bolles will fall behind.  He's not slow...he's a tackle, and keeping up with a fast edge rusher most tackles can't do.  As he matures, he'll learn how to jam that edge rusher 75% of the time.

I watched Bolles' play closely for the first half of that game.  The guy is a beast.  Unfortunately, he gets blamed for things that aren't his fault.  The commentator said the run was unsuccessful going to Bolles' side because one play got stopped at the LOS.  If you watch, Bolles actually was doing his job, and it was Janovich who failed to pick up the rush coming around the edge.  Not sure what Janovich was thinking...he ran to the right around Bolles and to the second level.  Not big on that Jano guy.  Anyway, Bolles does his job 99% of the time.  More than one can ask of a LT.


The Governor has a role to play regardless of what the legislature does or does not do. Stop the kindergartner blame game. The Governor could have cut so much more including all the money for the gas line and all the advisors he thinks he needs. He has proven he is ignorant of basic economics so maybe he should listen for once.  He should stop hiring people and start cutting the budget.


I can see that police forces and emergency crews might need that money to deal with a potential increase in impaired driving related issues.


Agree with "NCR certainly does find the good articles."  Sometimes imperfect, but still worth a read.

I'm no apologist for Zwartz.  The idea that the Australian bishops were "enraged" when Pell tabled the Melbourne Solution is ridiculous.  As another poster has pointed out, Ipswich <> Toowoomba.

That said, "unmoved by the complaints of those he steamrolled" is fair comment.  It could be modified to read "unmoved by the complaints of those he steamrolled, or tried to steamroll."  The latter category would work better for Anthony Foster and at least one other Australian, who took Pell on and won.


I guess we first need to agree on the definition of "grifter", Dejain.  ;-)

Candidly I was thinking of Madame Hillary and her 6-figure speeches to Goldman-Sachs etc (see e.g. icon's note above about the $230 million that
B&H have pulled in, since leaving the Whitehouse 'dead broke')  :-/

Another supreme irony is that you can easily Google up DT quotes where not so long ago he claimed to "... identify as a Democrat ..." (!)  So
it seems that we can use him to represent the pathological symptoms present in both the major political parties.


"No, no, just trust us," say the Liberals. "We won't tell you why we approved it, or what safeguards there actually are, but it'll all be fine! The Chinese told us so!"


You would have loved Hitler!  He sent the gypsies to the death camps!


Thank yo for sharing this experience.  When my time comes I hope it is as peaceful and so full of love.


Canada is a political reality. The people of Canada are committed to it's existence. Aboriginals were mistreated in past and that is obviously part of the political reality. Canada is not, however, going to founder because aboriginal discontent. The ancestors of present day Canadians did take control of the land mass and of it's original inhabitants through means which were often of questionable in principle. The fact remains, however, that while today's non-aboriginals are willing to make reasonable amends for the past injustices of their forefathers, there is nil support for relinquishing control over Canadian sovereignty to aboriginals. The concessions that perpetuate the notion that an aboriginal state can exist within the state of Canada or that aboriginal rights can be different than those accorded non-aboriginals are being increasingly resisted and resented. Non-aboriginal Canadians view aboriginals as fellow Canadians whilst government is encouraging separate 'First Nations'.


Change your name to Wyatt Dung!!!


I read on MSN earlier this week that his poll numbers have begun to rise due to his handling of the hurricanes and N Korea.  Of course that wasn't widely reported.


nope. Cry about it some more,  won't you?


The 2016 renewal of the inflation-control agreement was deliberately designed so that the Bank could point to the new core inflation measures to resist making interest rate hikes that would otherwise look inevitable.


Actually this is great news for the Liberals.  The NDP just relegated themselves to perpetual 3rd place.

Lets face it the NDP is only a party of perpetual opposition.  Always meant to be the backup bridesmaid, never even the bridesmaid let alone bride.


bs, same as klastri, what are you going to do about anything except blow hot air out of your a..


I would have preferred that in conjunction with PFD cuts, we modify oil taxes in order to get the oil industry to pay its fair share. In other words, I think it necessary to do both in response to our fiscal problems. That said, I support Gov Walker's veto of 1/2 the PFD funding simply because it was essential that the governor do everything within his power to stabilize our finances. In any case, the legislature left him with no choice.

I also support Sen Wielechowski for following his conscience adhering to his principles despite the political blowback. Again, it would have been much preferable to address our fiscal imbalance through a combination of additional revenues, use of some PF earning and adjusting oil taxes. But as usual blocking the to road to fiscal stability is the rigid ideology of the republican majority.

Not rooting for or against either side here so I'll give kudos to both Wielechowski and Walker after the legislature left both men with few options.


The man's "suicide" might have been in the news. It might have been all over the news, so the rest of the press would get the message. People who knew him, and his fellow reporters would have known what really happened. I can't imagine what it would be like if American reporters started "committing suicide." Our free press is essential to our free democracy.


Great article. My first trip over the Alcan, as it was called at the time, was in the mid sixties, years before any pavement or chip seal. I have made the trip dozens of times since and every time it is a new, unique and exciting adventure. I have many fond memories of those trips and hope for many more of those memories on my horizon.


It doesn't matter if you have a neighborhood refinement plan or special zone. Whiteaker has both and they say no stacking of social services or homeless encampments. Look where Wht is? Overflowing with both.  The City treats both refinement plans and special zones like parlay in the Pirates of the Carribbean. When the city feels like it, its a rule, when they don't feel like it, its more of a 'guideline'


Of course you are bigoted and cynical. We are talking about murder (generally most foul) and you play whataboutery (all other murders) and avoid relevant comparisons (Timol etc) that would make you consistent about your "maths and facts"; (not sure what "boving" is by the way); that is cynical and bigoted. Now you try and sneak in accusations about lieing; really cynical about murder. It suits you to infer the protest means taking SAPS away from other areas - what about state supported civil defence or more and better trained SAPS on the ground? Murder rate a thousand times higher - do you read what you hysterically dribble? Shouting it doesn't help, really.  Then admit - there are no reliable statistics about farm murders, your broad view is diluted by your inconsistency.

You won the debate - it's murder; I am not debating, just exposing your callous attempt to divert to dogwhistle racism etc. As I say, I think it demeans you. Of course you can criticise; so can Manyi and Mbalula.


Ige is no environmentalist even though he beat Abercrombie due to their votes. Remember Carleton Ching. The truth is that he isn't honest enough, or smart enough for the job. Maybe someone should primary him next year?


This episode will serve as the swan song for the arrogant, term-limited governor and along with BridgeGate, will be what he will be remembered for. Additionally in 2010, he made ham-headed decision to kill the proposed replacement project of the over century-old Hudson River tunnel, which is a lifeline for his state and constituents.


Lock this lady up now.  Quit treating her like someone who committed a petty crime.  My god she took a child's life and now thinks nothing of violating the terms of her supervised release.


To the Editor of the Daily Maverick .... Please give us a better grade of article than this crud. More of these will affect your own readership.


But nothing (as events have shown) stops there from being a change of circumstances after closing an investigation either.
It doesn't hold water.


On the subject of disposable vehicles.


Aloha, I just uploaded the city's May status report and posted it below the story if you want to take a closer look at the numbers. The city is working in conjunction with nonprofits, HUD and the VA — it's a joint effort with both federal and local funding.


you dont get it, our lower price is NOT because the usa says so, its because that oil is heavier and farther from customers markets, thus priced at a further discount to WTI. to offset the customers higher costs to get it to market. you want full price, first more oil pipelines directly to tankers is the best step. Oil is not priced by government either, its traded. what you want is for government to impose YOUR will on a free market, no thanks they tried that, communism and socialism like in venezuela failed.


A slowing economy is the time when governments inject finances, not take them away. Too bad Harper didn't believe that.


Once again somehow one of the largest fortune 500 companies. The Native Corporation has gotten a huge control over an industry. As natives applying as a small business by putting a patsy in charge which got the original NANA corporation in trouble, they will get special treatment. The only good thing would be that they would fill the PFD and pipeline.


Our family went and had an AWESOME time! We look forward to next time! We spent the day walking the neighborhood and got some wonderful deals!


Poverty is by far the biggest driver of abortions. Lift people out of poverty and you will reduce the prevalence of abortions. Can't understand why conservatives (of both the political and religious variety) don't realise this.
Your comment: "We also need to fight against a system that encourages dependence on the government for living" is straight from the conservatives' hymnbook. The majority of people on unemployment benefit would rather be off it and be at work. Of course, the more sensationalist  of the media outlets will regularly trot out a family who have been living for years on benefits but they are the exception.


I'll give it to you straight motely - as a racist, white supremacist, neo-nazi, etc., you don't have the cojones to stand up and admit it. It's quite clear to the forum that your claim of "independent" is phony. You're an ongoing insult to humanity and deserve the labels of a hateful, cheap shot jerk. Using my daughter in your creepy sexist posts is disgusting and that abuse I will never forget.


It's really unfortunate to see so many here so eager to claim some imaginary ideological high ground while there are probably still victims fighting for their lives.


You are missing the point. There are enough Canadians that are bigots that it warrants M103 as a start. M103 should eventually have the same weight as those who utter anti-semitic speech or actions.


Trudeau is a little schoolboy compared to the sharks in Trump's cabinet. Best be careful when talking trade war. 80% of our food comes from the US.


Looks like the Pell news is not the only thing hitting the Holy Father's desk this morning.

This news is even closer to home, one of his curia lieutenants.

The police broke up a drug/gay sex party in one of the residences this week.  A monsignor working for the CDF has been whisked away from the scandal.

Smoke has definitely entered the Church.  Maybe James Martin will write about this story on his blogs.


What is wrong with the men out here anyway.  Bizarre


You should also have talked about crony capitalism re the Alaska's Future group initiated by GCI. Check out the crony capitalists there. Also look  at the crony capitalists that supported Medicaid expansion, AK State Hospital and Nursing Home Association. How about the many nonprofits that would not exist except for funding by the State govt? Crony capitalism abounds in AK


Mr. Flake may be a fraud.....check Brent Bozell - News Busters.  Some say Mr. Flake is a RINO - Republican in name only, a fraudster.   Never trust what you read research journalists opinions they are not always right !


You just learn to dislike Trump and his goon squad, and 60 million people who showed who they really are under cover of a vote--  arrogant, world bully mentality, women in the kitchen bare foot and pregnant,  and white supremacist lean more and more every day.  Everything you have always disliked but knew it was still around.


There has been speculation that Austen was poisoned (perhaps unintentionally) by arsenic or other heavy metals.   Arsenic was used in paint, for example, and so exposure was common.

Based on the alternative diagnosis of Addison's Disease (adrenal gland disorder), the fact she suffered from cataracts, and also her death at a relatively young age, my guess would be vitamin b12 deficiency was the underlying problem -- possibly, but not necessarily, pernicious anemia.    Also, pictures of her often indicate very high colouring -- another telltale sign for some (but not all) people with a genetic predisposition to problems metabolizing b12 or pernicious anemia.


Yeah, "threatened" would be more accurate.


I don't care if he did meet with the Russians (and/or Putin). I hope he did. Such an alliance is preferable for most of us to those with Britain and Israel.


One of these days we will have to alter our constitution if we ever wish to grow up. We cannot continue to hang on to mommy's apron strings, let us be our own country.


E-mail your MP's about this. Tell them we should be imposing punitive import duties on Chinese goods
entering Canada and disallowing any  Chinese control of strategic industries.
If it weren't for Western and Japanese  corporate interests transferring manufacturing (and technology) to China for the subsistence wages and  lack of environmental and workplace health and safety regulations they would would be a  lot less aggressive then they are now.


Here's what your argument boils down to:  The family isn't really being broken up, because the kids can (a) visit papito a couple times a year or (b) tear themselves up by the roots, give up their entire world and go away with papa.

And if they choose not to jump when your whip cracks, why, it's all the kids' fault.

Those kids, amirite?

You never actually raised any, is what your comment says loudest to me.


Hey Old Soul - One question (and only one) - WHOSE YOUR DADDY ????


I am lucky enough to have owned one of his bikes for over 25 years......
Meanwhile,this is a great story,well told and  with a lot of lessons in it :)


Japanese nationals or Americans of Japanese or part Japanese ancestry?  The samurai code was killed off in Japan in the Late 1800's. It never existed in Hawaii or the US except perhaps in the minds homegrown ninja and action movies.


That "small patch of skin" is disproportionately inflicted on those of lower income.
Ayn Rand would have loved it in her own salad days. But when she was dying of lung cancer, friendless, FDR's (that Commie's), Social Security must have given her pause.
As it should you.


These guys aren't interested in a debate. I heard Yonela Diko on the radio a few weeks ago. It went round in circles because facts and logic are seen as optional.


St. Pope is not "redundant" as much as it is "incorrect."  One may not wish to confuse, for example, Pope St. Alexander, with another St. Alexander.  A "rule" about dropping the title in place of "Saint" or vice versa works well enough if one is a close contemporary of the saint to whom reference is made (or if there is only one by such a name) but it is certainly not "redundant" or superfluous to have the two referants in every case.


And to think, I had high hopes for our new coaches, specifically McCoy, Musgrave, and the new line coach.  Unfortunately, I see a lot of the same from last year.  In fact, I see worse than last year.  How could we dis-improve?  What the heck does Matt Russell do?  How can we continue to have bad picks at QB?  And how is it that we cannot fix the o line?  Next year, sign 15 FA left tackles in the hope that ONE will work out.


Just more sicko Repugnican garbage from the Mop and Pail.

Don't know what Ronnie Ray-gun ever did to join the ranks of Mahatma Gandhi, Jesus Christ and Martin Luther King Jr.'s in a columnist like this' eyes.

Another 5 minutes that I'll never get back.

No real news in Canada to report on today, I guess.


Come on, we all know that politics at the riding level is all about the popularity of the nominee sprinkled with a healthy liberal doze of good old fashioned ass kissing. pure and simple


If Trump denies anything,

that only confirms he did do what he denies.

It's a surety.


If you really believe the Holy Ghost protects Councils from error, why should it matter?


IMPEACH Donald Trump.  He Is a Babbling idiot !!!!!   He needs to put up or shut up.  He cannot prove any of his assertions, or give information that supports his claims.

NOT FIT TO SERVE !!!!!!!!!!!!


Crawl back under your rock, Harry, and take your belief in mythological beings with you.


26% of Catholic Latinos voted Trump! Wow.

Anyway, I agree with your larger point.


What it is, is a great idea.


Don't forget HOPE, please. How often God writes straight through crooked lines...


The goal of the left is to provide Healthcare coverage to citizens and non citizens alike.  You know this and that the argument is that it is a "right".  Do not take every point so literally as to miss the entire point.


The untold story here is that Trump tweeted rather than placing the traditional, respectful and diplomatic phone call to Macron after Le Pen, Trump's white-nationalist favorite, lost. To tweet rather than make a personal call between heads of state was a childish act of disrespect and sour grapes.


Look to the country of New Zealand for your answer. A country that brings in mass revenue from their accessible   wilderness.


And some people are entertained very easily.


Yes, an excellent question. What will happen to our state economy? The PFD reduction will be roughly $1000 for each of roughly 700,000 state residents. That's $700MM removed from consumer spending each year in this state. That sounds a lot like a deep recession if not a total depression.


Surely this is due to habitat destroyed by wild fires and logging.  Where else are they going to go.  Add to that bears, bobcats, the list goes on.  A sad state of affairs for them.


60K of people use transit along that corridor

20K use cars

Now, who's getting in the way of whom again?

Streetcars ARE the traffic along that route.


If Denver Broncos considered fans cynical last year just wait.
No one is safe.
Let's crack a few eggs.
First, if DeMarcus Walker invests in being a "quarterback menace," he better get with it. If he wants to make millions he better start concentrating on football and not buying his mother gaudy items.
As for Derek Wolfe, maybe he's learned to channel his mental health issues. We all know he's a loose keg and not really as good as he thinks he is.
Incidentally, that brings us around to Domata Peko. He's supposedly a heavyweight anchor the Broncos plan on dropping at the line of scrimmage to hold the opponents running game.
This is just my cynical/jaded/jaundiced opinion but Peko ain't worth a pack of Pall Malls cigarette butts. Sure he might lend leadership skills and show others how to prepare.
But, when all is said and done, Denver will see Peko planted on his butt.
Too little/too late/too old. Washed up and ready for the spin cycle.
Denver needs defenders not a bunch of whineabes.


I think there is a very good chance that Brown may very well be the equivalent of a President Jimmy Carter (A very nice guy but completely lacking in leadership and political savvy).


"Augafa will join the Warriors for training camp, which begins on Aug. 26."  That date can't be right. The first game of the season is on Aug. 26.  Maybe training camp starts on July 26?
