I have no clue???? As compared to your "bomb the h*** out of anyone" attitude??? Reality check brah!!!!


3 pipelines under Harper. The hope was a lefty government would be able push a pipeline to tide.
But NOPE!!!
Bye NDPeee in Alberta, Kathleen and then Junior 2019.
No Pipline Line NOOO Carbon Tax
Thank god for Trumps Key Stone "a no brainer "


yes, absolutely, OF COURSE i'd like to read the transcripts of the bush/cheney energy and/or war confabs, especially if those transcripts led to prosecutions for corruption and war crimes.

as for 'picking on hc'??

puh-leeze.

she asks for our votes but refuses to reveal what she says behind closed doors to one of the most influential and corrupt wall street powerhouses, whose employees pass back and forth between being regulated and regulator.
we are asked to vote for her without knowing what that vote actually means, what it will endorse, what her intentions are, what she will do with that vote.  we are asked to vote for what she will do without knowing exactly what she has promised her financial backers.

my dad calls that 'buying a pig in a poke'.

and yet you 'have no idea what i'm talking about'.

finally, just in case there is any confusion, dennis bernstein is not carl bernstein.

dennis bernstein's excellent 'flashpoints' can be heard on pacifica radio.


Google should run then.


The issue before the Supreme Court is not whether individual students will be accepted by the LSUC - it's whether TWU's possible future law school will be accredited, given the rules it says it will require of all students.

In fact, there is a procedure for non-accredited law schools to request that their students be assessed by the LSUC on an individual basis.  We don't know what the LSUC's answer would be because TWU has never asked.

The LSUC had a statutory duty to make sure that accredited law schools do not discriminate in their admissions policies.  This was the right decision, and the only decision they could have come to given their statutory mandate.


There has been very few roads built during my 60+ years in my state. It's about time. Open up some land!!!


Could you remind me, in what branch of the service Obama served?  How about his close friend, Bill Ayers, domestic terrorist, fill me in, okay?  Would you clear up some of issues I have with the $140 BILLION in gold and cash he gave Iran?  Thanks, I certainly don't want any bad feelings about an esteemed person such as Barack Obama.


The risk-benefit ratio of pursuing a career in medicine continues to tip in favor of risk:
1. Overhead costs of practice (the gross salary is not equal to take home pay)
2. Huge (and rising) debts for medical education. My tuition was 22,000 /year on average. It's gone up since then.
3. Opportunity cost (8 years of education without pay. For further training, I now live in an expensive city, and my salary is just enough to cover my cost of living)
4. No pension or benefits (for most of us)
5. My partner has had to give up his employment opportunities (further HUGE opportunity cost)
6. Risk of not being employed (hear about this more frequently now)

I think it's fair to save my earnings through incorporation. I need to make up for the opportunity cost of medical school, the opportunity cost of the loss of my partner's employment opportunities, a living wage during my working years, and a pension as a retiree. Income splitting makes up for the loss of my partner's income.


Seems in Vietnam and North Korea Soviet Union /  China were not afraid of US. Russia doesn't need to fire the missile themselves - they can get Assad to take the blame for US forces attacking them. Also, Putin wouldn't blink if a US bombed Russian advisers - S-400 would be in the air immediately.


As we approach winter, it may be cancelled altogether from a snowflake storm.


Well....this would have more credibility if netanyahoo hadn't stonewalled every attempt to reach a 2 nation solution and continued to build housing in the proposed palestinian state.  They hold millions of palestinians in an "occupied" status meaning demeaning military control, no freedom of movement, restricted access to medical care and employment, etc etc.  And then they wonder why some of the people rise up against them?  Its going to take international intervention to resolve this.  The UN set it up after WWII and now they have to straighten it out.


From: "Social Security: Summary of Major Changes in the Cash Benefits Program" at government website:
"..For most of the history of Social Security in the following decades, changes to the program were ones of expansion.. " and "..The types of recipients eligible for benefits were expanded over the years, and benefit levels were increased periodically. In 1972, legislation provided that, beginning in 1975, benefits would rise by the same percentage as the cost-of-living."  Yep, I've got the misinformation alright :-)


It is precisely because the Boy Scouts are effective in nurturing males that the feminists want to destroy them.  Thank God for Trail Life.  May they prosper and grow!


Here's what gets me on his assertions.  He alleges he did it because of "the Russian thing" not to impede the investigation but because he didn't trust Comey to do a good enough job.  So why did he try to lie to the American people by setting up Rosenstein as the ax man?  In addition, if getting "the Russian thing" done right he could appoint a special prosecutor.  He could have tasked Rosenstein with finding the right replacement instead of fabricating a three page lie.
These two things leads me to believe both of the reasons he's offered to the American people are lies and there might just be something damning in the FBI's investigations.  Of course, it's always possible that Trump just forgot to fire him a while ago and doesn't want to fess up about being a forgetful old man.  His tendency to distrust others doesn't help.


No, because they are Democrats they wouldn’t know a fact if it bit them in the ass.


I'm sorry you stated "Donald Trump has said some questionable things, and his behavior at times has been unfortunate. But he has not targeted Alaska's workers, or our economy, or our values, as his challenger has done." So as  a former Republican chair, this is very telling, you don't think Alaska's workers or values include Muslims, Immigrants, Mexicans, women...these  are all examples of groups he's targeted...but you look the other way because...?


"Still waiting for all that fancy "evidenced based decision making"...."

----------

That was just a ploy to trick gullible people into voting Liberal.

Make them "feel good" about themselves.

And it worked...hence the "gullible" part.


Friggin players disrespecting our soldiers who laid down their lives for our flag should pull their heads out of their a_ses. What the hell does our flag and national anthem have to do with their false narrative of cops out to kill black people.


Wrong.  It the fault of progressives.  And they've done a very good job because even liberals like you have been fooled.  Your words give you away.

As for evolution, it should be taught, right along with creationism.  Let discerning minds decide which theory is true.  Or don't you believe kids can discern?  Very condescending of you if you don't think kids can figure it out. (Looking forward to which non scientific liberal narrative you will use in rebuttal.)


The site – which is operated by King County’s Solid Waste Division – is now open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week. It currently is closed to the public on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

What does this sentence even mean?


I said nothing about selfish.  The right to produce food for the hungry is not selfish.  If so, the organic crowd is even more selfish because the food they supply costs more and deprives folks of needed assets.  There is no proven benefit of organic food.  You mention invasive spraying but do not define it.  I suspect that you would suggest that if any chemical substance can be detected with the best analytical methods, it is invasive.  Sorry, there is just reasonable basis for such belief.  In any event, there is no point in discussing this it is religion.


Thanks for writing this.  I will not engage with RockChalk on the topic of this election, because we are at impasse.  Apparently, he believes that people who will support a man who has spouted racism and xenophobia and who has gleefully admitted to sexually assaulting women are decent.


Your post is exactly the problem, senseless name calling.  You calling someone an Alternative idiot and liar with absolutely nothing to back it up other than rhetoric is worse than any of them.  You call names with no facts, nice job.


I have three neighbors who have blue outside lights and porch lights.  They are all police officers.  Springfield, Eugene and Oregon State Police respectively.

We don't seem to have a problem in my neighborhood with crime for some reason.

Do you think it could be those blue lights?


"I think if the writer is going to use his experience as justification to upend the Catholic Church, he should explain what happened." This sentence, to me, states the essential mistake in thinking at the root of the clergy abuse crisis... Victims and Survivors did not upend the Catholic Church. Perpetrators and Bishops and Cardinals and Popes and Priests and Nuns and Ordinary Catholics Who Turned A Blind Eye upended the Catholic Church. Survivors might be the only ones WHO CAN SAVE IT... Should we???


I have to admit, the more I see of Hillary, the more I like what I see. You may disagree with her on issues, but one thing is true: She has spent her whole life in public service. Can Donald say the same?


That a really ugly look at "public" education.  I went to a private, Catholic high school that treated with more respect.

She'll win a bundle, but her lawyer needs to change the venue from Western Slope Jesusland to a fair jurisdiction.


I am not suggesting in any way that we forget or minimize what was done to Africans who were ripped out of their lives and brought to this continent in chains under the most horrible and inhumane conditions; or that we forget or minimize what was done to their progeny. We must never forget so that if and when the monstrous, atrocious side of humanity ever raises its head, we can recognize it for what it is, call it out, and denounce it with words and with deeds.
But we must move forward. This nation cannot atone for the unatonable other than by assuring to greatest extent possible, the equality of opportunity for all our people regardless of the color of their skin.


I don't think this story is evidence of a witch-hunt. Changeover is pretty well routine for a change in administration. At least the outgoing administrators haven't spent the last few days shredding documents like the Alberta P.C.s did in May 2015 after losing the election to Notley's NDP. The Legislative Speaker had to order them to stop.


The "other side", meaning you and other haters. His sexual orientation is different than yours. Big deal. Grow up, please. Or is this "uncivil"? Prejudice and bigotry and hatred are some of the most uncivil behaviors on the planet.


They were tranquilizing these elders knowing that major tranquilizers kill. The elderly are particularly vulnerable as their bodies can't heal or recover from the damaging effects. The drugs are listed as contraindicated in elderly and especially people with dementia, but most nursing homes try to collect bank by prescribing them and using them to knock people unconscious and incapable. The drugs increase suicide by 44 times&cause violence amongst those that take the drugs or receive forced care.

According to data/experts 500,000 elderly alone die annually from major tranquilizers like zyprexa, geodon, abilify, seroquel, haldol, thorazine, clozaril, respirdol etc. On average for young people 25 years is lopped off citizens life spans. Some die sooner than that others later, all because of the medications/medication induced injuries such as CTE/brain damage, diabetes, blood flow issues and blood pressure problems, muscle tightness/heart issues, etc

I didn't offer any thoughts, mearly facts and they certainly weren't offered up to try and make you feel better.

The only "thoughts" being offered here is the unsubstantiated fairy tale you're spinning about compensation to prop up your weak accusations.


Strong skills, weak character. Like for many, I bet, my recurring image of that kid is his standing start, water-to-his waist, jump up-and-out of the pool video. What an amazing athlete--- and what a waste, not just of an athletic career, but of a life.


The globe and their  fair comment rating is about to cost them a subscriber..  One more warning and I am restricted.    One more warning and I am unsubscribing.   Full Stop..


I was not aware that Apple had attempted to open a factory here in Alaska, nor Levis, nor Hanes. As their base here is minimal to non-existant, these corporations don't factor into the state budget.

The focus of this was discussing the effect on the state budget. Therefore, we need to look only at companies that do business with the state, or have looked at doing direct business with the state. In this case JPZ is correct in that we as a state give away a massive amount of potential revenue to oil companies under the false notion that exploration would stop if we didn't. Oil companies need oil to function, we have the oil, and they will continue to seek it where they can, no matter how tough it might be.


Consider that "youth activists are now considering "legal action" in response to the (governor's) denial." With respect, that is absurd. The students are pawns for L48 environmental agitators. I doubt they have a holistic understanding of the issues. They are systematically indoctrinated in these subjects and then become zealots. The governor was stupid for meeting with them in the first place and thereby providing media coverage.  In the picture look at the student at the far end of the table using his phone to record or picture the event. It was the governor's meeting and he should not have permitted that.


Now let me translate for people have brains, Dan thank you for writing this propaganda piece. People who cannot think crucially will actually believe the alternative facts you are spewing. They will actually still believe we are the fiscally conservative party. Thank you for trying to pin the bad decisions we made on the governor.


They typically are. After a defect causes the buyer of the components to suffer serious losses. Court cases ensue and the buyer has to prove that the supplier did not meet engineering specifications. This would remove that and put the onus on the supplier to manufacturer to the prescribed specs of the regulator.


Autonomous vehicles will sit in bumper to bumper going nowhere on a freeway just as easily as cars with a driver. They do not solve traffic problems.


Actually, that sort of thing is pretty common in the private sector. At least, that's been my experience over the last 30 years.


Our tax system in Canada is premised on the basis that we tax income and capital appreciation, not capital.  Estate taxes fly in the face of that. The one exception is the principal residence on which capital appreciation is tax free, which for wealthy Canadians is generally not their main asset; clearly not the case for average Canadians. As wealthy Canadians in Ontario (and frankly the rest of Canada) already pay a significant tax burden on their income (close to 54%), think twice before putting in place a system that would encourage them to take their wealth (income and capital) and move elsewhere. They certainly have the ability to do so.   Taxation and economic theory is very complex.  I personally am extremely proud of the differences between our system and say the US system which clearly favours very high net worth people. While the US has estate taxes, those uber wealthy people pay really expensive tax accountants to make sure they don't pay any of it.


Pass.  You go first.  You offer nothing in your comments but generalizations and mutual admiration of your like minded friends.


Chronic pain goes back to the dawn of time, and the causes remain much the same as they have ever been. Some sufferers drank a lot; some committed suicide; some became insane, some used opium or laudanum; in the parts of the world where it was available, some used cannabis.. It is only fairly recently that the medical profession has accepted that it has a responsibility to relieve pain rather than just to treat disease; doctors used to view pain relief as peripheral to their "real" job. It is only recently, for instance, that medical schools have begun teaching pain management.

Doctors would obviously prefer to cure causes of pain where that is possible; unfortunately, it is not always possible. Pain management is needed.

I think if I were Lisa, I would both look for another family doctor and report the present incompetent to his professional governing body.


That seems to be the CPC excuse.   i.e. That the "Liberal media" is at fault for forcing the CPC to act as they did.     I guess they think Harper really was that weak of a "leader".


stp1m: In relation to the more than 55% of Canadians who distruct government and media, I think the comment might in part be referencing an article that appeared in the G & M a couple days ago (link below).

heh, it's TheDonald's norm, history proves the Locker Room talking points. :)
TheDonald's on the football field tackling/blocking the Liberals lies and deceit, guess you haven't been to football games or on the playing field/bench to hear em. Being PC has no place there, lol, you can take that to the bank


The 297th BSB was utilizing already existing AK ARNG units and assets. The long range surveillance/airborne detachment have been up here since at least the 60s. As a matter of fact, the AK ARNG has given up more equipment over the years. The C-23 Sherpa was retired after heavy use in Iraq and the slated replacement, the C-27 was cancelled by the USAF. Which means all the flight support that was done way back when by Twin otters, then Sherpas for next to no cost is now done by the much more expensive C-130 and C-17. Yay, lets retire equipment, get rid of people and spend more money for less returns! Awesome. But getting back to units, what exactly can the AK ARNG be with very little heavy equipment?


Even Cabinet Minister Carolyn Bennett referred to Canadians as settlers, so this colonizers, settlers insult extends right up into government. We have to push back, otherwise we risk being the scapegoat for every wrong real or imagined.


...... starting with O'Really.


Once this gets out, people that have the means will shun Hawaii.  The business climate already is in the tank as the worst in the nation, now this.  Add to that the incompetence, massive fraud of the rail disaster, and politicians that do nothing but hang their foolish debt around our necks and there you have it.  Not to mention the traffic.  Soon Oahu will come to a standstill, and businesses will leave.  Then every problem we have now will be far worse.  The smart folks that can see 5-10 years out will start to look at the other islands, especially the Big Island where land and opportunity are in abundance.


Well, I can't help it.  See all the comments you relate stem from taste.  You want things done according to your script.  I don't particularly care about your script or any script.  I don't so much support Trump personally as I support the American process and the need to honor and respect those we disagree with, who follow different scripts.  I do have concerns regarding Trump on policy issues.  I am not happy with proposed medical care policy.  I am not happy with proposed tax policy.  I am anti-war and am not happy with new war engagements.  Etc.  However, I do not see any better policies coming from the democrats.  So you can fume about Trump's failure to follow your script.  Okay, you are a citizen (I suppose).  Use your vote as you see fit.  Do not expect me or others to put your script above alternative scripts or above policy.


You don't get it yet?  Alaskans almost universally hate the oil tax credits.  Get rid of them and you'd find enough support for the PFD bill.  Until you do that...stay at work.


Great!  The Donald will have his Russian pals install impossible-to-detect bugs in the Oval Office while posing as construction workers. That way, he can continue his treason even if he is impeached.


If The Leafs did sign Vesey last summer, there is a very good chance we wouldn't have seen Connor Brown with the Leafs this season. What a shame that would have been - Leaving a local kid with a ton of tenacity and desire and serious offensive ability off the team in favour of a US born player who's only out for himself....Brown has been my favourite young Leaf to watch this year. I hope he's here for a long time.


Snakes and ladders.  There are lots of snakes on top of every ladder of success.   Soon the defense lawyers (snakes) who only love power and money will take care of business.


Jack I think most tests are done by the manufacturer and then submitted to the government. I know the European tests certainly are that way.


Pandora, a massive onslaught is being waged against Catholicism by the forces of evil. I remember reading over 30 years ago in the UK Daily Telegraph, very establishment and no great fan of Catholicism, that the Catholic Church was the last bastion left standing against secularism. This was in response to Protestantism's capitulation to the Prince of This World.
As you point out, the battleground chosen by secularism is sexual morality and by a clever strategy aided by the media, they accuse the bishops of being focussed upon this when they are only responding to it: 'culture warrior' is a meaningless tag just as 'fascist' is when applied to anyone who is not a rabid socialist.
In the end all this would be unimportant except that so many souls will have been led to perdition on account of it, not just now but in the future when purely secular forces will all but destroy Christian morality. Sad to say, the worst of the forces of evil is the fifth column.


You cannot prevent the deaths of some of those 9 million without tradeoffs.


Haven't you heard the pundits, Germany's Merckel has a good working relationship with Putin, she's from the Eastern Germany and knows Russia, she does both disagrees and agrees with Putin. They have a talking relationship unlike the US,  Merckel can teach Trump a lot about Russia/Putin.


Calling someone delusional, crazy, et. al., are insults -- which by definition -- is name-calling.

My state of mind is not yours to diagnose.

Like I said, I don't call you, or any of those I disagree with, names.

I admire your tenacity.


Curious.  The GOP has been spinning a story since at least George the lesser that the Democrats, minorities, and illegal immigrants are trying to steal your elections.  Turns out it was the GOP all along.  That is the playbook: accuse your political opponents (or scary outsiders) of your own malfeasance and while everyone is distracted by the accusation, they'll stop paying attention to you...until you get caught


Why would white people be in favour of more racial diversity and mass immigration in Canada when our employment equity policies disqualifies white people from the many jobs designated exclusively for visible minority candidates?  Selecting racial minority newcomers to Canada for well paid employment over Canadians is stretching tolerance to the breaking point.


funny enough thatsa a trite little response favoured by those who deny science period and live by propaganda and opinion since science has yet to prove in any way mans carbon is increasing earths climate temperature!


Best read of the day so far, nice work IB !  Personally stay away from bus tours myself.


'Racism in South African Schools'...and here I was thinking that the author would address the fact that hundreds of thousands of black pupils are subjected to demeaning, inferior-quality education (inferior even to the claptrap dished up under bantu-education) in Q1-4 schools nationwide - an education so bad that it condemns them to a life of poverty and frustration without the skills or knowledge to compete in the modern world....but my mistake: that would require the ANC spokesman to take some responsibility for the ANC's criminal neglegence in education...instead he'll focus on the fact that the hyper-elite (who can afford St Johns) have been called horrible names!


"Kind spirited genuine Christians." Allah save us from them.

PS: To the excessively thin-skinned who keep voting this comment into the "Uncivil Zone": Because a comment makes you uncomfortable, or you disagree with it, doesn't mean it's "uncivil".

Perhaps she doesn't want to spend hours each day commuting and prefers to spend that time at work.  You can't fault her for that. I detect South of Bloor envy :)

Was the driver German or "German"?


Hello Middle,

Yakabuski writes political opinions on world affairs, which is why he shared, above, views on Trump and immigration and Quebec being different from the rest of Canada and so on. So contrary to your protest, this space IS appropriate to share political opinion (I will not dignify, with a response, your inappropriate quip that I somehow have "similar views" as the shooter).

Perhaps you would prefer what I wrote yesterday under "Mosque shooting victims: Six men who sought better lives in Quebec" (to see it, click on "Comments Closed):

"What a senseless waste. All of the people killed were hard-working contributors to the nation of Canada. They all worked hard in their neighbourhoods to provide useful product or teach useful courses or to improve things for those around them. They were doing exactly what all Canadians should do, and our nation loses them in the blink of an eye due to a man with a gun and a violent agenda. It is a disgraceful act that was done last night."


Because that is not what the law says. It isn't about matching face to ID card, it is about recognizing that the person you see today in the supermarket is the same person you saw yesterday at the hospital.


How will the Republican replacement plan fix any of those problems?

It will make things worse, MUCH worse!


“We have two leaks,” Trump said

 “You have the leaks coming out of intelligence and various departments having to do with Syria, having to do with all sorts of different places, having to do frankly with North Korea.

 And those are very serious.

And then, you have the leaks where people want to love me, and they’re all fighting for love.

Those are little inner-White House leaks.

They’re not very important.

But actually, I’m somewhat honored by them.”

DeepState Leaks Bad!

Even when imaginary.

Devoted Blobfish Leaks Good!


LOL, it's still Fake!


If you think the persons who work "downtown" live there, then you can never have heard of GoTrain.


Once again we have an airline disaster story short on facts.
I would guess there's confusion between "paid for a seat" ie ticket  and "paid for a seat assignment" as in seat fee.
Assuming the 18 yr old was booked on the flight and a seat fee was paid.
But he traveled on a different flight and we assume paid the necessary fees to change flights.
That's fine.
But when you do switch flights by your own choice the seat fee you pay is non refundable.
The seat fee is only valid for that person on that flight in that seat.
That original seat may now be empty - assuming Delta didn't resell it- but you have no right to use it.
Most major airlines have this policy and it's usually clearly spelled out.


With that attitude Christy, I encourage you to sign the petition demanding concealed carry in the capitol!

That is not what he's said. He wants a blanket 20% border tax on all Mexican imports to pay for the wall.
It's on everything the U.S. imports from Mexico.


So--for nineteen hundred years, the church considered pederasty a crime, and turned offending clergy over to the civil law. Then, with the stroke of a pen, Pope Pius XI, changed that. If Pope Francis be sincere, he will undo Crimen Sollicitationis, an unfortunate law of his predecessor.


Finally, to those who say that Amoris was unnecessary, that mercy's already known vs his repudiation of legalism & rigorism, that subsidiarity's already known vs hierarchicalism,
and that all he accomplished with his lack of clarity was the sowing of confusion, so, answer the godforsaken dubia.

Let me suggest that it was a lack of charity by the Dubia cardinals that spread more confusion as they failed to take the exhortation at its word, where it wholly affirmed all relevant dogma, doctrine, disciplines & canons, which makes it doubly wrongheaded of them to not otherwise construct the dubia w/the best orthodox interpretation, consulting Schönborn's synodal intervention and affirmative answers to the dubia.

There are far too FEW Dubia emerging & of rather weak theological quality for any to imagine they have empirical support that the ecclesial sky is falling, despite the radtrad Chicken Littles.

Time to move on from the Dubious Dubia, who now violate their old norms for dissent!


I have to say it: When you make bad policy, you're bound to rile up someone. My bet is the guy had nothing left to lose after the Republicans took his job, home and healthcare. My prediction is that this country is headed to civil war because the divide is getting so big between the Right and Left wings. The Right wingers have become so egregious as to think they can publicly use terms like 'snowflake' to describe the Left, and the extreme Left is actually trying to shout and bully anyone who doesn't agree with their viewpoints, i.e. recent incidents in Berkeley CA.


How do you think we will score 10 points? That's just crazy talk!


That was a decent and honorable thing for Pres. Trump to do.

--- And, every one of the conservatives here on Washington Examiner MUST do the same thing and publicly offer condolences.

The LIBERALS all over the internet were *immediately* out front and center offering condolences and apologies about Rep. Steve Scalise, and denouncing that crazy shooter.

You have NO excuses to make about this situation and MUST offer apologies and condolences for the dead. Neo-nazism and the KKK is absolutely indefensible.


Good grief milking the victimology cow never ends. Play Brenda Lee's song "I'm Sorry" in a loop for a year on loudspeakers over Ottawa.


You are right - it would be best left to scientists. Real scientists- not the ones that argued for how many decades that smoking is not bad for you. Real accredited scientists- not the ones deemed good by believers in other creeds or those more simply manipulating opinion while laying the groundwork for evading their accountability. Who do you think is going to pay the price if the science, the real science- is right? Is your buddy Trump going to look after you when the fit hits the shan? Maybe there's a whole bunch of realists - really rich ones- already preparing for a future with fewer people, a lot fewer- in a world reserved for them by laying the groundwork for efficient population control measures. That is an entirely unpleasant thought isn't it?


I would disagree.


Please let this CPC campaign be over swiftly and mercifully, with this buffoon sent off to obscurity.


Glad to see someone recognize that the mainstream media in this country are right wing. Far to the right of most people. Fortunately we have alternatives like The Tyee and the National Observer. These are far better written and researched than the Globe and Mail or National Post and provide a much needed tonic.


Keep telling yourself that...


Just shut down all gun manufacturing facilities forever.  The world is awash in guns.  No more need be produced.  Start with any weapon capable of more than one shot at a time.  Single shot only would eliminate the mass casualties of recent times.


"The White House, including the national-security team, was unaware President Trump was preparing to speak publicly about North Korea."


The only troll is Amira herself, trolling for Islam and for western civilization's submission to the Koran. Her hijab is the sign she handed her fate to Allah.  Giving up free will is just one thing Muslims ar expected to sacrifice for their religion. Inshallah .

Justin Trudeau lives in a fact free world on... pick one - the Prime Minister is guided by a shameless contempt for reality in favor of smug idealist puffery. Trudeau doesn't speak in substance, he prefers symbolic word salads that leaves even his staunchest supporters scratching their heads. Just look at his lobbying response, politicians get lobbied but don't pretend that ignorantly subscribing to a higher moral authority puts you above basic notions of common sense and rational thought, he has embarrassed himself and still doesn't get it. Trump is going to have a field day with Ottawa and the only leaders who are concerned about the impacts on jobs and the economy are treated with arrogant hostility - look at Trudeau's reaction to Brad Wall's valid concerns about the new carbon tax grab. Ontario has been sewered by 13+ years of short-sighted big government incompetence and now Trudeau and Butts are going to apply Ontario's failed strategies to the rest of Canada.

Poor TDM, must be keeping you up a night trying to figure out a way to excuse the inexcusable.


Should have ordered the industrial drum size!


Mr. Schuman obfuscates the issue.  It is irrelevant whether the judges involved have written or spoken so as to reveal bias.  All that matters is the action they have taken on the executive order and its justification based on the constitution and the law.  The judges can be considered progressive and political if they take action that extends the reach of the courts beyond traditional boundaries, i.e. gathers unto the courts more power than they had before.  Of course, the courts are assumed to have the power to determine constitutionality of executive orders.  But the constitution is silent on the rights of non-citizens, non-resident in the US.  Existing law apparently gives the President the power to set immigration levels based on security concerns.  The court extended its power by claiming the right to determine what is and is not relevant to national security, at task for which they are very poorly suited.


See the REDMAP plot from the cons. There is no equivalence here.


Soft wood lumber the H with them !
They take it and make houses and sell them back here when they should never have happened
Don't move one inch and repeal the deal that they can sell modular homes to Canada,
That must stop


A lie. The US Jewish judge issued a lengthy dissenting opinion. How's that.
Furthermore, Morris Berthold Abram, an American lawyer who was involved in drafting the Fourth Geneva Convention, argued that the convention "was not designed to cover situations like Israeli settlements in the occupied territories, but rather the forcible transfer, deportation or resettlement of large numbers of people." How's that.


From the attorney's statement I can only assume that Mr. Shockley is the first honest con man; he operates a Ponzi scheme but out of some sense of morality refuses to profit from his illegal activities!


Sure you did:

Barrack Obama is from Hawaii.


Of all the things to worry about women deacons is probably dead last.  Do you not want support for aging priests?  Could a mere woman not baptize a baby, marry a couple?  Maybe even take the collection money to the bank.  Maybe even preach?  What was mary magdalene doing all those years?  What was BVM doing?  What were all those cornish pri cesses doing?  Trace the church back to england, and other places and you will avoid all sorts of a cruel, militaristic romish sungod religion.  We have followed the wrong tracks and need to backtrack..not only to england but certainly include it.  What was the church of joseph of arimathea?  Could there be a better person to get a church going?  Get unbiased historians, archeologists, genealogists etc. and search for the truth, which was twisted and truth carriers burned, killed, documents destroyed...get to the bare naked truth.


Exactly, but that would be too easy n they have to complicate things. It wasn't a natural death, it was caused by man n his gun! Therefore, help her with the hunt since her partner was shot. That can only be fair!


In reality, Mr. Buffett got some incredibly great (sweetheart) deals. He had cash available which several companies desperately needed. He essentially dictated these agreements. They were ones only he got. They came with a great deal more upside than downside.


and you are guilty of being a gullible fool if you believe anything China says.


You should have your car taken away. Because all sensible, rational people know that every driver was once a peaceable, friendly upstanding citizen. But....inside each one......lurked a MONSTER!!!!!! AAAAAAHHHH!!!
You hoplophobes crack....me.....UP!


That was Harper - how soon you forget that $170 billion in new debt!


America has refused to sign a peace treaty with North Korea ever since a truce between them was declared in 1953. They are still technically at war.  The North Koreans are virtually surrounded with overwhelming American firepower just twitching to be used. If the US wanted peace it would have had talks with NK a long time ago. Kim may be a brutal dictator but Donald Trump is a loose cannon controlled by the American war machine.


Arrogance and ignorance like that stupidly drives US gun politics.
Your calculations are off and your modification of a 20-round magazine is a straw man argument. Bump firing a 50-round-magazine-equipped semi-automatic firearm takes about as long as it takes to change magazines (have a look on YouTube and educate yourself about bump-firing). Five-round magazines means five-round magazines. Modifying a large-capacity magazine blocked at five rounds does not apply.
I do know what I am talking about; I have owned long guns and shotguns, I was a hunter, a reloader, and I have fired handguns and fully-automatic weapons. I am not anti-gun; I am pro-sanity.
Why add Canada and Mexico? Canada is proof that gun laws work. Mexico? Really?
Blowing about how much you know about guns while talking nonsense is childish. Carry on.


A 16 year old hip hop artist from Boulder, CO (I know the place well, as I am from there) is now an expert on climate?  I seriously doubt it!  Wonder if his documentary with Leo D. will include Leo's belief  that “global warming” presents the nation’s ‘biggest economic opportunity,’” as reported by Reuters.  I think it's really all about the money!


Now that's RACIST. And funny too.


She vacationed with a billionaire who probably donated to the Tory party of which she is leader, look up what conflict of interest means.


Very sad to hear of Don's passing.  His wonderful smile and laugh will live on.  If anyone can share details of a Memorial it would be appreciated.


It's too unattractive a word to have to do with God.


I'll go. We are using your car and your gas money........................correct?


“The UO protestors — about 15 in all — say they’ll maintain their business-hours vigil through next Wednesday, take spring break off and then resume the sit-in upon return to campus.”

It’s encouraging to see how serious these protestors are.

Chaining themselves to a 9 to 5 sit-in, taking only spring break off, then back to that grueling, agonizing 9 to 5 sit in.

Refusing food from their protestee’s, thereby subjecting themselves to an debilitating 8 hours without sustenance.

Bravo to their dedication and perseverance to the cause.

An inspiration to all protestors regardless of their cause.


I suppose making alleged crimes like first-degree robbery, kidnapping, burglary, impersonating a law enforcement officer, and sex assault "go away" is expecting a bit much for even a SHOPO shirt.  Now, receiving a warning instead of a ticket for driving 60 in a 45 zone, well, that's another story. . .


Hoping RG does a follow up.  Thousands of kids in foster care have been denied needed medical/psychological care by Trillium.  Didn't Jim Torrey consider himself a champion of the children in Lane County?


2020 - Keep America Great. You need typing lessons.


Well, Canada has a land border with only one country. So unless the refugees are already in the U.S. and not in some U.N. refugee camp in the Middle East, there is no choice but to apply from outside. Either that or pay (or enslave yourself to) some smuggler to sneak you in by merchant shipping or a flight, which has also been known to happen.


Are you kidding?  Taking the PFD and starting an income tax takes money directly out of the local economy and puts it in the hands of the government.  The same government that can't balance the budget and insists in paying big oil hundreds of millions to take our resources.  Talk about money leaving the state!


Such terrible news.. Fairbanks Lost one of the good guys. Prayers to the family and the Families of Law enforcement. Stay Strong and be safe..

You,of course, have every right to place your children in private school.  I'm guessing you've chosen a private school which reflects your own personal religious views of the world.  That, of course, again is your right.  You state "Truth and Fact have no place in Government Education."  In fact, it seems you're basing your perception of "Truth and Fact" on religious faith.  Faith, in fact (no pun intended), is belief without evidence.  Belief in the existance of God, god or gods, for example, is an article of faith.  Belief in the absolute non-existance of God, god or gods is, as well, a matter of faith.  Neither is based on any demonstrable Truth or Fact.

Across the world there are dozens of religions, many of whom claim their God is the only God and condemn all non-believers to hell.  Many Christian churches are among this group of religious exclusionary elitists.  Each of these religions condemns the rest of mankind to hell....what a compassionate world view....... gary crum


Well said, Jim Kowalsky. Many years ago I was lured to Alaska not only by the offer of a good job but by the possibility to enjoy the animals of the boreal forest in normal diversity and abundance.  The killing of important and likeable animals like wolves, removes all attractiveness from the Alaskan landscape. It is dead scenery and I grieve.


Is it possible there is some acrimony between the Taliban and the Haqqani group with Boyle and Coleman as a bargaining chip. Why would the Haqqani group murder one of his previously unknown children that was not linked to a ransom demand made to America or Canada. Reading between the lines a possible link to the Taliban and his presence in Afghanistan would cause the CIA to be very interested in him he would have been interrogated for months. There was no way Boyle wanted to transit via Bagram. The safety of Canada was the smart choice. He will never step foot in America again. In view of the Omar Khadr debacle the Canadian government and CSIS will treat him like royalty. A ten minute interview by CSIS in the presence of a lawyer followed by a walk out the door will be the end of it. As another poster indicated there is much more to this story than the Canadian public will ever know.


We don't know all the evidence that has been gathered. Mueller is doing his job.


It is true that "Any reasonable person would ask why on earth Trump would be mean to someone who lost a family member serving their country."  However, the claim that  "He wouldn't . It defies logic and basic common sense," fails miserably as a defense of his behavior because so much of what President Trump says and does defies logic and common sense.  That he once again has done  something that matches that description does not surprise me.


Will taking away parental rights fix these rare and unfortunate events? What about the 98% of parents who are doing right by their children? We have social services in place to deal with the other 2%. Let parents, parent their children. Judges need to stay out of a parent's business.


Most don't anymore. Before I bought my home it was all inclusive at my apt. Just before we moved they started charging for water, garbage and sewage AND raised the rent almost $200.00 a month. This was in a "low-Income" complex. From what I hear the rents have gone up steadily since and the rent for a 1-bedroom is about 1100.00 a month now.


'turn out to be'? He is already there.


Alive and well


The hours are also incorrect and they are open on Monday's as well. Not sure where you got this info? Something from 2014 when they first opened?


None of the right wing trolls do it seems


McCain needs to just go home. He is useless as a senator. We had an election. Trump won. The people have spoken. To constantly criticize Trump is to betray the people. Once McCain was a hero. No more. The term "traitor" comes to mind.


Mahalo Kupono for your hard work and making Hawaii proud.  Best to you folks in the playoffs!


Sorry, you're way off the mark there. If you're going to criticize, at least get your facts right: (a) Assuris provides 100% guarantees up to $2K/m, (85% for higher amounts). If Assuris to go bust, the entire Canadian Banking system will also likely have done so. (b) There are no ongoing/trailer commissions, which is why many financial advisors don't sell them. (c) A $100K annuity for a 65 y/o male, with 20 year min. gtee, = $5.8K/year income for life. Like I said, not for everyone, but for some risk averse people they can make sense.
Meantime, if Trump & Fatboy in NK throw their toys out of the pram bigtime, your stock portfolio will be halved if you are lucky.


Lots of federal workers in Alaska between the military and other agencies.  Where does our delegation come down on this?


A useful reminder list of facts.
Unfortunately most voters do not let facts influence them and go instead for some unfathomable emotional response.


Great find Mr. Sessions! Your collection and your dedication to keeping your aircraft flying continues to impress me.

It's interesting to see a comparatively modern elliptical planform, enclosed cockpit, and sleek inline engines on a biplane, but then again, it is a contemporary of the Beechcraft Staggerwing.

I really like how sleek the wings are, enabled by the braced biplane configuration.


Someone in the upper echelon has definitely gone daft.  Maybe Bowlen is still calling the shots.


Any number of deaths in the workplace is unacceptable.

But what I find incredible is that since at present 9 out of 10 workplace deaths are men, we don't hear Justin Trudeau the feminist pledging that his government will not rest until an equal number of women as men are killed on the job.


The article cites the government's $637 billion debt, which is the net of its financial and non-financial assets, but its interest costs are actually calculated on its gross interest-bearing debt, which includes its outstanding bonds and treasury bills, plus its pension liabilities  (veterans' and civil service pensions). Moreover, it issues bonds and T-bills on behalf of itself and most of its Crown corporations. And right now, the average interest rate it is paying is less than 3 per cent (see its Fiscal Monitor at Dept. of Finance). The gross interest-bearing debt is now close to $1 trillion, so one can readily see how much how much the federal government's interest expense would grow on the basis of any given increases in the rates it has to pay.


As the holdings of many US companies expand internationally, the  vicissitudes of the US market are buffered. How is this factor built into this pessimism?


Isn't "anonymous NYT and WaPoo sources" code for "we make up the stories"!


I don't think the people should vote for any Congress Member who isn't prepared to eat their own dogfood and participate in the same plan as the public. In fact I think we should pass a law they can't have the golden package of lifetime benefits for a four to six year term at all.


Lets say I was somewhat upset that Canadians were excluded from contributing to the  birth of the Charter.

OK, if you insist.  Just as you say, 124 games to go, so important to win them all.  Can't afford any losses.


Just getting rid of Vancouver Island would make NDP governments uncommon.  If the Island was not part of the province it would be 42 seats BC Liberals to 31 seats NDP so actually a pretty solid one.  Even in 1996 the BC Liberals would have won a minority if the Island was excluded BC Liberals 30 seats vs. NDP 29 seats although you would have had 1 seat PDA and 2 seats BC Reform party so seeing on who those members defected to (Gordon Wilson is now a BC Liberal again, but did defect to the NDP) it would be 32 seats to 30 seats.  That being said that is kind of silly as it is part of the province although there is a party pushing for Vancouver Island to secede.


Enlighten us, Science Boy, will ya?


oh puleeze.  maybe there were fewer cases in the old days because kids were exposed and developed an immunity.  That is why Israel has far fewer cases than NA.  Stop with if it saves one life garbage


Morons like you is the reason why there is starvation and dire poverty in socialist Venezuela.  In your upside socialist world, GOOD becomes EVIL and EVIL becomes GOOD.


So what do we have now?

Americans elected a leader with breathtaking hubris who turned out to be a Neocon empire-is-great warmonger of the worst kind in disguise. He certainly fooled 175 million voters and much of the world. But America deserves Trump.

Up north Junior the supposed Trump hater suddenly become the kisser (you know where). I think its what he ate at the White House dinner. Or maybe he sat at the presidential desk for 1 minute for photo  op. The corruption of power gets to weak mind easily. I wonder which direction Senior is turning.

But there is more. Freeman the Ukraine Nazi suddenly becomes the Canadian Neocon after a quick lecture by T.Rex the dinosaur and Mad Dog of War.

Does Canada deserve these two? Maybe we should bring Harper the Zionist back.


You are making a mistake -
Judging History or people from 300 years ago by today's standards is well silly - and a mistake.
With the left there is never an end to revising history - "whitewashing" (pun intended) -
You may think a certain monument is wrong - the alt-left wants to write their own history and change the USA - They want to destroy Mt Rushmnore -(yes)
Get rid of references to Washington, Jefferson etc...
So they can then get rid of the Constitution - after all it was written by white slave owners -
Then they can create the Socialist Utopia - they dream of - ie... Venezuela-
That way they make the rules and you must obey -
A very sad future awaits us when Pelosi/Warren/Sanders/Schumer - etal take over.
Sad indeed.

GM does have a better shot at moving product with it's dealer network.


You have the disgraceful temerity to draw a moral equivalence between the Holocaust and the Jewish recovery miracle, and the Palestinian fourth generation, UN tit-sucking, Jew-hating refugee bullshit story. It's exceedingly charitable to describe you as a libtard.


dont forget mike harris!! LOL


Honestly, a lot of people have to, as we get priced out by higher and higher taxes, cost of living, poor infrastructure, and local government too beholding to developers, construction interests, and public unions to care about anything or anyone else.

And why do you think that’s so funny? I’d think if you weren’t a fake progressive, you would be concerned too.  Are you planning on moving because Donald Trump is president and both houses of Congress are republicans?

Why can’t DR Horton, Ala Moana Mall, and Howard Hughes pay into this rail mess instead of squeezing struggling local families. What is wrong with you?


Sounds like $50,000


The GOP is an empty vessel. They have not had a governing agenda since 1989, just the same old tired rhetoric. They have been the party of negativity and gridlock incapable or unwilling, or uncaring to address the problems of the country. All they've left is hate.


Perhaps they should try the Ontario solution to resolve the teacher's concerns.

Give them what they want....


Cruz is globalist fraud he voted for Hillary Clinton.


their politics has been an insult to the American people for a generation. They have zero control over their government. It is all controlled by corporate interests.


Not often.  I've lived here 20+ years and 2013 is the only one I can remember.  I think the Big Thompson one was back in 1976.  That is a pretty good run between major flood events.  Coastal areas seem to get something every few years.


Another Bogus story by the lying New Your Times


R&R must also believe that since Jesus chose only Jews as apostles, then gentiles cannot be ordained. Don't give me any bushwah about the two being different:, since the logic is identical: Jesus chose only members of group <X> to be apostles, therefore non-members of <X> cannot be ordained. The two differ solely in what is put into the variable <X>.

Also, by "faithful Catholics", R&R means "Catholics who agree with ME!"


In the interests of accuracy, could we change the headline to read "Catholic scholars overreact to Trump's election".  Professor Schneck's comments in particular were reminiscent of what Senator Kennedy said about Robert Bork.  The same cadence, the same unfairness, the same lack of Christian charity.


I guess that could work if they could come up  with enough $$$ to beat the incumbents... I would certainly contribute !!

Have you grown it before? I agree with the sentiment of avoiding pesticides - when you grow your own, you know exactly what you are getting. But to grow good weed is definitely not easy - it takes a lot of work, plants require constant tending and pruning and feeding, timing of harvest is critical, and proper curing and trimming is essential for a quality product. It's a specialty horticultural product and much harder to grow than tulips or corn. I really wish people would stop spreading this "marijuana is one of the easiest plants to grow" nonsense.


Ms Conway is the master of spin, double speak and alt truth. That is what is offensive about her. How she sits on a couch is irrelevant.
Perhaps more airtime should be spent on the actual repercussions of her role in this undemocratic regime and not on the minutiae of etiquette.


You lost. Did the right act this way 8 and 4 years ago? Suck it up and move on. Be productive in society, we will mail you your participation ribbon.


It is a sad revelation of overly competitive bravado when his task should be to ensure positive, long-term relations and scientific objectivity. Some form of sanctioned is warranted.


one party system , one party to blame,  very simple


Coleman comes off as a reasonable parent, angry at at their son in laws reckless behaviour.

Freeland and Justin come across as some touchy feeley do gooders who really don't understand what happened or why it happened.  They would come across as  smarter if they advised Canadians that if you are stupid enough to holiday in a war zone, you may get whats coming.


Unless you're advocating the death penalty for drunk drivers your comment doesn't make any sense. Or are you just trolling up controversy?


Actually, I am not a Modi fan. However, I have to accept the fact that he won an election fairly. A critical part of democracy is accepting when the other side has won, and being supportive of your government even if you disagree with them.


Please give examples of the "incorrect rheteric" being spewed by BLM. There are now so many proven examples of white cops "gunning down innocent blacks" that you cannot simply make a statement like this and expect to be believed by anyone except racists. And the focus of BLM is on the far greater number of black people killed by police than any other race. You're blaming the victims here. I would hope that BLM would inspire a similar movement among Latinos. But it is up to them to speak up for their own people.


I live in Mililani.  To you predators: you'd better be careful you don't try getting into my house or at my family.  TRYING to do that will be the last thing you do in your miserable existence, because you will NOT survive it.  Be VERY careful, I'm waiting for you.


This new development won't be what causes traffic gridlock. It is the existing low-density single family home land use that you moved there for that is already causing gridlock.  Building housing right beside schools, CKC, grocery (and soon other businesses) is how we attract people who don't want to drive everywhere. People who want to walk their kids to school, walk to the grocery store, ride their bike to school/work on the Cross Kirkland Corridor. Take the 255 into Seattle or the 245 to Microsoft or Factoria.

I have lived in both Houghton and Everest. With my most recent move I wanted to live in this neighborhood but the housing type I wanted did not exist.


Make sure you read this guide before investing in Canada! https://moneytis.com/send-money-to-canada


Well written article Lisa!  This fella was very lucky to get out alive.  I was reminded of the man who wanted to get away from it all and died in an abandoned bus.  Alaska is a very wild frontier.  Remote areas are untamed and can be very dangerous.  I staked 20 acres in the Indian River area back in 1980 but never built on it.  Had it surveyed and there it sits.  The state won't have to survey it.  Beautiful country about a mile off the Alaska Railroad.  You had best know what you are doing before you go out in the wilderness willy nilly wanting to do the man-alone thing.  I am very glad he survived, thanks to the bush pilots.  Good happens.


transgender all you want.....just don't do it on MILITARY time and on TAX dollars. you want to serve? then SERVE ! you want to become a man? or woman? ...get it done first THEN join the ARMED FORCES or SERVE first get out then change all you want.....


and insane.  i cannot imagine what those women were seeing and hearing when Trump is calling other women fat pigs. often , seeing his female "supporters" behind him at a rally - they were not model material. i remember one lady who was basically the stereo type of white trash right behind him during a televised tirade... i mean speech.  . made me laugh. she was obviously seated there to send the message that donald is for the little people.  i would have loved to have been a fly in the room when he watched the playback and saw these women - would have been a spew of insults.  missing teeth, unkempt hair, very overweight, wearing baseball caps - just his type.
  ,.. i think hilary was too polarizing and just the clinton name has stink on it , which is ridiculous to begin with. what was her husband s big crime? getting recorded in a crude, frat boy discussion   saying how much he likes to assault women? not like he gave the russians the ok to hack into our democratic process.


One of the selling points of Volkswagon beetles, apart from the low cost, was that the style didn't change much from year to year.  North American auto makers brainwashed a surprising number of people into thinking that there was something wrong with them if they didn't buy a new car at least every 3 years. Changing the looks every year was part of that, to make older cars obvious by their appearance, even in regions such as Florida or California where cars did not corrode from road salt.


Disturbing story. I hope the girls get lots of love and attention.


Sort of makes you wonder about Justin's agenda! Does he really represent the opinions of the majority of Canadians?


No worries, you can buy plastic bags in boxes of 500 for less than 2 cents per bag, then take them with you.

Far more convenient and less expensive than washing reusable bags and much less disgusting than unwashed reusable bags.


It is would seem that scientists still  exclude the possibility of Mind and Choice occurring at the molecular level before sentient life existed.

Or do atheists still have just as much  faith as the religious Creationists, that it all JUST HAPPENED? Do jigsaw puzzles EVER assemble themselves?

When something like Life occurs despite utterly huge odds against it ever happening, you may just be looking at a Miracle. So let's call it that.


Where there is smoke there is fire but who and what is going to be burned? The President as
Commander-In-Chief automatically has the powers of dictatorship. It is too late. America as we
knew it will be a pleasant memory. The buffoon many here are calling a moron and so on is
our dictator. He should be an old man yelling his bs out of a cage not running our country. This
is going to get really bad. Whoa. So many willing to overlook so much. There is a weird kind of
inevitability to this.


These statues and memorials are not about preserving history.  The history of the civil war is preserved more than adequately in books, documentaries and museums.  These statues and memorials are not the history of the war, but symbols of celebration for the men who oppressed and enslaved others, and fought to keep that status quo in place.

Your false equivalence is both wrong and repugnant.


1. AlexB2 got this right. All of the speculation over increased taxes on capital gains was not an advanced leak from the government but rather pure speculation which gained momentum inthe financial press from one columnist t the next. Making investment decisions (or in reality trading decisions) on some guess as to what might happen is more often than not, a losing bet. It's at best a guess and that is never a great plan. Congrats, Alex.

2. There are millions of dollars in Canada Savings Bonds, some of which matured many years ago, sitting in safety deposit boxes. Just something worth keeping in mind, particularly when it comes to older relatives who may have "tucked these away" and forgotten them.


The fish hatcheries are not the same as fish farms. The hatchery fish are not genetically modified, unlike farmed salmon. After release, the hatchery fish live their lives in the wild, unlike farmed salmon.


Then you double down, that's hilarious.


She makes more sense than you do.


Good point. The other portion of the question: why did the numbers on "only" football players come out. Should there not also have been a study based on non-football injuries. Obviously, there is a direct path to show trauma from football, but there are multiple factors that could cause CTE as well. Given that information, should they also do a study on non-football people to include many sports or other activities that could also influence this sort of trauma.


Canada, as a matter of government policy, surrendered it economic independence long time ago to the United States.
We can't even feed ourselves; most of what we eat and consume all year around is imported. Very little is grown or produced here and it's getting worse and worse by the year.
"Trade"  - what successive governments are trying to sell us, as a good thing - is essentially the export of raw/unrefined natural resources plus financial and other services, but very little Canadian designed and produced hard goods; even those are coming from foreign-owned branch plants.
Yes, Canada is a 'trading nation' but only because of its dependence on it.
Globalisation is the worst that can happen to a nation's economy.


The inmates were given food, makeup, crystal meth and special privileges for complying with sexual demands,

Or in some cases, perhaps

The guards were given sexual privileges for complying with requests for food, crystal meth and special privileges.


I don't know what set of facts you were looking at. Nothing indisputably establishes that he "[took] up arms." The only person who had alleged to have seen Khadr carrying a grenade was Mr. Layne Morris; he later recanted that.

The signed confession was coerced. Various judges at all levels of courts ruled so in 2010; and coercing confessions undermines basic Charter protections, and vitiates voluntariness/free choice.

You have: 1. a coerced confession, and 2. an unreliable witness who recanted his statement. How are you so sure of Khadr "[taking] up arms?"


Only if they're gay.


I am so pleased to of had this opportunity to do the art work. We had a great turn out. Met a lot very nice fans. So excited I could share my passion. Aberdeen Museum of History, what a great place! Kurt Cobains home town where it all began.


To be in compliance with state law, CCIOA, adds a lot of verbiage; the rest is common sense and good manners but some people can't manage those things.


You are a sad odious man barney.  Is it possible to send you back to the country your family emigrated from?  Not sure they would have you but haters like you bring us all down.


I can't imagine why the NRA suddenly went silent about lawful gun owners, can you?

Nice avatar btw.


Everyone that disagrees with Ronin006 is a nut job.


Several commenters have stated that the author is a part of the "FN industry" because he believes in consent over the lesser standard of consult.  That is incorrect.  He states:

"The UNDRIP language actually supports this lesser expectation – which, to me, offers a reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous interests that seeks to be fair to all. (Fairly enough, my view on this point has been challenged, given the ongoing debate on the issue of consent.)"

The author is writing that Trudeau raised the expectation among Indigenous people that the Liberal government would support the higher standard of consent.  That they are now backing down to the lesser standard of consult might result in damaged relationships with the Indigenous community.  It seems like a pretty balanced article to me.


I think the general population can be expected to pay, willingly or not, to meet the basic human rights standards set by the U.N.  Allowing 18 months of violation of those standards is the part I don't understand.  The court challenge should continue until the practices stop.


I am pleased to see that you now agree that Charmasa was fired for coming out. As Betty Clermont said.
And that, despite your earlier comments, there was no 'resignation letter'.
There has been no 'self-aggrandizement' by Charamsa. Quite the contrary. He has given up everything associated with being a Monsignor; with being a university professor; with being a senior official in the CDF. He has sacrificed the means to live, all the security which would have continued had he 'kept quiet' and lived a life of hypocrisy.
His coming out was an act of  total honesty.
All these things must be obvious to anyone with eyes to see, a heart to understand.
It is a mistake to leap always to conclusions that may seem obvious. Reading is important.
Read his own explanation ('La Prima Pietra', 2016). Read, for another example, his beautiful book about Our Lady:- 'Virtù e vocazione. Un cammino mariano' (2014).


If it is a right which comes from Man, there is a corresponding responsibility. That responsibility does NOT rest with the Federal Government. Per the 10th Amendment, powers not DELEGATED to the United States are reserved for the States, or the People. It's really clear language. No teaching has been promulgated by the Pope, as an ex cathedral teaching, that gov't is to provide healthcare. No teaching, no assent.


Malicious accusation and nothing more. No mention at all about how many millions of people Purdue actually help.  Millions of people the world over are very grateful they have access to functional pain killers that actually work and do the job.


Good words for an affirmed Conservative, but affirmed Conservatives don't need to be convinced in order to win an election.

Can a social Conservative provide enough vision to middle of the road Canadians to convince them to switch?  I doubt it.

It doesn't really matter, Sheer is nothing more than a placeholder awaiting the 2019 election failure, and the subsequent 2020 Rona versus Peter leadership contest.


Dann those oil companies for not paying their share for the past 50 years! And damn SB-21! It undid  decades of fiscal security!
(You wouldn't happen to be in the market for a bridge, would you?)


You have ZERO idea what you are talking about.  CO2 is directly responsible for temperature.  The CO2 saturates the oceans, the oceans cannot displace it, the temperature rises.  You are WRONG and have it completely backwards.


You ought to be, unless you want to be seen as dishonest.


To be honest of the three party main party leaders Mr. Singh seems to have expressed the most detailed policy info, certain in their leadership campaigns.  His policies might have been a bit light on details, but at least he HAD policies and had the described at a high level.

I'll grant Andrew Scheer a bit more time to pass judgement, but in his leadership campaign he was very light on policy and he hasn't exactly outlined much more since becoming leader.

As for Justin Trudeau, in his leadership campaign the grand sum total of all his policies, from immigration to economics to social issues was just a single sentence: "Hello, my name is Justin Trudeau".  That was it.  Since becoming leader of the party and now PM he hasn't brought out much more in the way of policy.


Yes, yes I am Anthony.  I ran my own business for several years.  My credentials speak for themselves.


If he offers anything of substance, that is even remotely achievable, it will be a first for him.  Not holding my breath.


Given that almost all population growth is "non-white"  and the narrow margin of Trump's victory the President will have to run better with either "non-white" or "white" voters or be turned out.


You're right.  The lack of remorse should figure into it.


Why carry a concealed  weapon ?


While I was not a Harper fan and like PMJT in a few ways, I'd be hard pressed to like any aspect of Freeland. I especially dislike her blind support for the Ukraine regime. This is an ugly war where we do not have to take side, at least not to this extent.


I don't think the military will trust Trump with the keys to the kingdom. There could be a coup or maybe the country will continue its journey to hell.


Mishandling classified material is a felony. Destroying federal records is also a felony. Hillary Clinton did these things - as FBI Director Comey presented July 5, 2016. HRC is a demented liar, and should be on trial for her numerous crimes. RyanC is a nitwit.


I see the position as setting an example of fact based Public Policy in the Throne Speech, etc.

So different from the Harper Dark Age and what we see spewing out of the White House these days.

Remember Harper raising the Annual Seal Cull Quota to show those pesky Europeans that they could not dictate Canadian Science Policy? That was the first year that the Gulf of St Lawrence was almost ice free. There was enough sea ice for the pregnant seals to haul out on to give birth, let alone for  Seal Cullers to walk on. They gave birth in the water. Drowned seal pups floated ashore all along the coast.

Remember Crosbie as Tory Fisheries Minister, deciding to keep fishing till nearly the last Cod?


Plb's work by satellite. They all work world wide. Make sure you know what you buying. Go West Marine.


Capetonians are being asked to limit consumption to 100 litres per person per  day.  Not a very challenging target and I believe likely to be tightened over the next 6months


Jagmeet Singh is one cool dude. I saw him on Rick Mercer's show. Sharp, well spoken and witty. Of course these attributes don't make him PM material but qualifications, experience and vision stopped being a requirement for this job a long time ago.

I think he is very attractive without that beard.


Kimura to tell the truth?  Does anyone at the HPD tell the truth?


Harassment destroys lives.


Pure hyperbole. But on a serious note, if anything the ND tribe's water will be safer now that the oil will NOT be travelling by rail and truck, as it does now.


Why not, indeed.

Pretty telling, isn't it?


Believe people.  Believe that corporations are there for you.  They only want what is best for you.  Do not look behind the curtain, there's nothing to see behind the curtain.


'“The lesson is we shouldn’t be fooled by good-looking Liberals.'
Jane Fonda

Funny. I was thinking the same when I saw you.


It certainly was a poor call on the Caps goal that was taken away. Freddie was hugging the Caps leg--no goalie interference there. He just distracted himself.


"Pray tell, whose side is this man on? When was the last time you had to ask that question about a president-elect?"

Trump is in it solely for himself, just as he has been his entire life. He has no loyalty to his country, no loyalty to his numerous wives and mistresses, no loyalty to his business interests which walks away from as they continually go bankrupt, no loyalty to the military which he dodged four times so he could chase skirts (resulting in four working class Americans going to Vietnam in his place), no loyalty to his business partners whom he invariably stiffs, no loyalty to his employees whose wages he withholds, no loyalty to anything. Nada. Nothing.

I doubt he's loyal to Putin, although he's certainly grateful for the assist (it works both ways; Putin has no loyalty either, he just recognizes a useful idiot when he sees one).

Trump is seventy years old. The entire story of his life is going all in for himself and nothing else. Why should we think he has changed?


I hope you're right, but I fear you're engaging in wishful thinking. Time will tell.


That would be very cool. I've heard/read a lot of people remembering the ghastly Quest sign and saying this would be an eyesore. I'm assuming the neon blue-purple color is added in these renderings for dramatic effect-- can't imagine there's a way -- or that they'd be allowed --
 to light it up like that 100% of the time.


Sounds like a white paper on how to get taxpayers to fund liberal business interests with a plug for massive immigration at the end of the paper.


For those willing to pay the sky high costs of government regulated and taxed weed to avert risk, some will go that route.

For those willing to pay black market rates which will be substantially lower, and are willing to accept more risk buying from unlicensed users, sme willgo ha route.

I suspect majority of current users will stick with the black market route, because they will be in position of legal weed after a black market purchase anyways.  Cops won't be able to determine where you got it from.

These whole legalization thing will only serve to increase costs for everyone, and increase roadside sobriety checks and the resulting charter rights violations and unlawful false arrests as police fumble around making purely subjective opinions on if you're impaired.


This is a non-story.


Of course he respects the Trump path to the presidency given corporate America doesn't give a damn about democracy and transparency.


$70k for sprinklers in new construction? Mac you're drinking the Chamber of Commerce KoolAid.  If you believe the CoC hype I've got some beachfront in St. Louis Heights to sell you. Gotta ask, you got back flow preventer on your plumbing or is that some of the stupid you can't fix?


Jeffery, I bow to you! You just said more in one paragraph than all our legislators have put on the table in 5 months! There could be discussion on each item but at least there's something to discuss. Thank you for showing them how it should begin!


Sorry. There are so many reasons to hate on CO Springs, I don't think this urban hunting thing would even make my list...


Bubbles,
I don't run from facts, I avoid 'opinion polls' because as the full description says, they are    " o p I n I o n "      polls.  Opinions change daily.  Facts remain the truth long after everyone has debated them into the ground.  It would be like debating  the law of gravity and who would hit the ground first,  by jumping out of an airplane at 10,000 feet, with no chute.. Might be an interesting debate on the way down, but in the end, hitting solid earth would still be one hard, unavoidable fact that neither could avoid. One of us,  would no doubt  hit first, while the other  might enjoy a couple of  seconds of satisfaction...


Now you have to research all of his cases, arrests and reports.  All of his cases should be invalid, all were illegal.


Why cant we just sell the name to the highest bidder?


It's never been easier to find out what the source of a piece of text is. So many people have gotten into the habit of not wanting to know the facts, which might turn out to be inconvenient, but they should realize that someone else will.


You can hope all you want. They are college educated (paid for by myself). And very successful!!! Karma let you down this time. To bad so sad ....
They are all conservative and laugh at this nonsense...  grand kids will be raised the same way.
Socialism sucks


You foolishly continue to claim that a shareholder dividend in lieu of subsurface mineral rights for landowners is an " entitlement ".What is ridiculous is the blatant ignorance you purvey with you lack of knowledge. You obviously have never paid utility bills in Alaska. We ,in some areas , pay as much as $8.00/ gal. for fuel oil to heat our homes. That equates to huge profits for oil companies from the very oil that we are supposed to share in the profits of through the PFD. So where do you get an entitlement , especially when oil companies are getting continued profits in the form of "credits", which actually IS an entitlement.


"The quality of the content just had to improve."

"http://www.libertyheadlines.com/study-fake-news-prone-media-emotional-boozy-others/?AID=7236

This is what I meant when in another article you offered, I related that the consumer would vote w/ their eyes and congregate towards the sources of info that THEY trust.  I found this article on one hand very funny, ironic, and somewhat accurate (the pool of those tested was too small and probably could not be replicated) in their description of journalists, in general.  Having said that, I know that there still are intrepid reporters who still desire to do a good job, report accurately, in a timely manner and in a relevant style.  Then I realized that however unbelievable some of the stories found in today's news sources are, people still are lazily retweeting, passing along, forwarding w/out verifying first.  Maybe w/ all this focus on bad journalism, it might compel the consumer to be more discriminating.


"At this rate and direction this nation is moving toward an American Civil War part II which could breakout about any day. ... the war will be between the Americans and Anti-Americans. " - Doggy

The "War of Northern Aggression" really turned out well for my fellow Virginians.

The same kind of musket-brandishing morons who led the South to war seem to have passed their genes on to some similar fools in Eugene.

If there were an armed uprising by the "deplorables," you'd be in for a rude surprise. We folks with a modicum of intelligence control so much more of the economy, that you'd be crushed in short order. Just check your Civil War history books.

Go on Trump, you can admit it, you'd be much happier back on The Apprentice. Nobody would question your decisions there. You were judge, jury and asshole boss there. Surely that's what all that stuff about Arnie failing in the ratings was about. Go on, you know you want to, resign. It's easy. Bannon would let you use the big boy desk and pen set again.


Legitimate Mexican refugees?

Now there is a true oxymoron!

YMMV?  Your mileage may vary?


The same was said of Jesus when he taught and preached to the multitudes.


"Justice Camp also publicly apologized for his conduct, calling his “knees together” comment “unforgivable.”"
If he himself calls his conduct 'unforgivable',  why does he expect to be forgiven?


Yepper any time abc and washington post do a poll I am sure to take that to the bank.  Want to bet the number of never Trumpers, and left wingnuts they ask far, far exceeds anyone else.


How can we be ashamed of our history when such a staggeringly small percentage of our population know anything about it?

And how can expect people to learn it when on one side we have laughably sanitized versions that ignore events and graft imaginary 21st century values retroactively and on the other side we have people insisting that nobody in the past did anything wrong ever and that it's heresy to suggest it.

We need healthy does of objectivity.


Trump's admiration for Putin should be clear to all.  First he is envious of Putin's ability to wield absolute control and the power to do whatever he wants- whenever he wants..  Second he is extremely respectful of the way Putin has used his position to become extremely wealthy.
The Trump Presidency will continue to be filled with 'Executive Orders' and conflicts of interests in business affairs - but Trump will leave the office many times richer than he is now.

To those people who were supportive of Trump before the election because they expected him to 'moderate' once he became President I say 'Ha, Ha!'.  You should have been paying more attention to what the City of Toronto went though between 2010 and 2014.


A lot of people, but not me. I'm a consistent civil libertarian. Liberty, like life, has some risk. "Safety" is an illusion not supported by reality, and attempting to have it provided by government will always fail -and- result in a loss of meaningful Liberty to boot.


While there may be some truth here, only time will tell whether something totally nefarious has occurred!  I would suggest to Milbank, that DC has been the product of wheeling and dealing and paying off one's friends/supporters for may decades now!  Whether your friends happen to come from Wall Street or the millionaire/billionaire class of leftists hardly matters!  This is why it is so important to vote for honest congress people who actually believe in representing ALL their constituents and not just their donors!  That is the only avenue for the people to control out of control federal gov't.

Perhaps Milbank needs a reminder that business and humans don't need nearly the number of "regulations" that the gov't passes and then funds (giving more of their pals permanent jobs, pensions, and benefits!

I'm guessing the ACLU only defends the illegal immigrants. Had she snuck in across the border and been picked up in a CPB sweep, I'm sure the ACLU would be all over this case.
I'm still trying to figure out when exactly illegal immigration became a civil right.


It is not "right wing" and it is not "racist" to say that Canada must carefully screen all immigrants, including refugees, before allowing them to settle in Canada. "Diversity is our strength" is an excellent example of the "fake news" regularly produced by Canada's self-styled progressives. It can easily be shown to be a false premise. Canada's enviable prosperity and freedom were built by immigrants from Europe.  Over the last five decades the majority of immigrants have come from countries (e.g., China, India, the Philippines) outside of Europe.  "Our strength" has been that we have, until recent years, been able to productively and peacefully integrate people from diverse cultures into the Canadian way of life.  However, in the last decade peaceful and productive integration has become a problem for immigrants from several countries (e.g., not China, not India and not the Philippines).  Naming these countries would likely result in this post being deleted.

Who cares what Conservatives think? Just ignore them, after a while the muffling sound goes away.


But Jesus didn;t merely speak about a married man leaving his family, did he?  He also addressed other things about marriage -- such as its indissolubility.  Why do you fail to acknowledge this?

And what on earth does a man clinging to his wife and not allowing outside influences to affect the marital bond have to do with whether gay marriage is Christian or not?  You are full of knowledge that you have no idea what to do with.  It might be better for you to learn car engines inside out and stick to that.


Eric:  boy, I'd love to look back at things a year from now and say "Eric, were you ever wrong!!!"  I'd love to be able to say "We were all wrong about Trump.  He really has united America and he's done so much to improve the live of working class Americans,  He really has managed to improve things in the Middle East.  He's really taken steps which improve our public schools.  He and the GOP controlled Congress really have made significant improvements to the ACA and our health care system. We're really "going places" with infrastructure repairs and improvements and tens of thousands of new "family wage" jobs.  I'm amazed but his Presidency has really improved race relations in our Country. ....and look, the crime rates have gone down across our nation.  He's managed to convince Putin to quit expanding Russian control over Eastern Europe and securing their greater influence in the Middle East.  .despite our misgivings, he's really doing all those things he promised."  What are the odds


Most of Trump's adult children either work for him or actively campaign for him and other Republican candidates. They have put themselves in it.


I agree with the core concept of this column, but this is simply a matter of money.  We are funding 4 school boards in Ontario - English Public, English Catholic, French Public, French Catholic.  Crazy, and too expensive.

“The administration’s detailed plan to regain control of the nation’s dysfunctional immigration enforcement policies while moving our legal immigration system to a merit-based model that includes a return to more traditional levels of immigration is an enormous win for American workers, national security and the nation as a whole."

Texas actually has the death penalty too. Should AK also adopt this to insure SB91 works?


He looks like a bit of a weasel. Maybe he can offer to take a lie detector test and the police sometimes use to suggest (albeit not prove) guilt or innocence?

Natural gas prices tanked during the recession, yet Xcel energy kept asking PUC for increases and got them. So they never passed along the massive savings.


Again, Trudeau does not initiate the selfies.  He is asked by people to be in their selfies.  If he didn't agree to she selfies, he would immediately be labelled as rude and face criticism from the opposition parties.  (Damned if you do, damned if you don't)..


It is a grand plan, get the inner city vote, get the poor impoverished minority to feel like they are hopeless and instill yourself in power.  Then let the lowlifes kill one another off.  Anyone that thinks Hillary had any interest in helping her poor friends succeed was drinking DNC koolaid.  Bill Clinton only wanted two things from them, their votes and their young girls.  The Democrats have been setting up generational genocide for years, now we are seeing the fruits of their labor.

What will it take for the House to deal with a cold shot of reality? I agree the public is highly divided over the funding issue. But that is because the socialists keep peddling lies to the public. There is no free lunch. There. I said it.


You have a wild imagination.


This is what politicians, particularly Democrat politician, never factor in any money legislation, HUMAN NATURE. People will find ways around keeping more of their money. This is also why we have so many redundant laws, because individual get around one poor law, so the fix that law politicians create a new law, that at some point way well be found to get around it. Laws on top of laws, on top of laws, on top of laws. This also shows that fairness never works, because what maybe fair to some, is never fair to all.


Investigations take time.  I remember how Fox and such would breathlessly report on any nugget about Hillary and the Benghazi investigations. Investigations that by the way turned up zero about Benghazi but instead information about her use of a private email server.  Be patient, the odds are that these investigations will turn up something, it may not be what we are expecting, but something.

Western Woods, wrong, wrong wrong.

People like convenience. That is why pizza deliveries are popular and netflix films are popular and online payments for bills are popular.

Emergency Departments are EXTREMELY convenient. Open 24/7, show up whenever you want, complain about anything from the wax in your ears to the common cold.

Problem is, Emergency Department care is EXTREMELY expensive.

Guess what, Western Woods? If a take out pizza cost 250 dollars, and if there was a 100 dollar fee for every online transaction, and if netflix cost 200 dollars a week, guess what?

People would bake their own frozen pizzas more, people would mail in their checks in stamped envelopes, and people would go to movie theaters more often.

Thing is, we do not charge 100 dollars or even 50 dollars as a co-pay for emergency care, so no surprise, it gets overused by Canadians en masse, costing the system a fortune. Charge a fee to stop misuse of it, to get people to use urgent care or family docs.


"clerical implausible deniability"

Good one.  And without doubt it has wide application.


The evidence that "unregulated, unsanitary 'clinics'" caused any significant number of deaths is slim indeed. Generally illegal abortions were done by physicians after hours or in private clinics.

Murders, robberies, and rapes have always occurred and always will occur.

We still have laws against all three because all three are offensive and immoral and not conducive to a decent just society.


Railfan, he's got a ways to go before he matches his mentor on this.

Bring back squatting rights. Just find a empty house and take it!


I am hopeful that a new, wiser, more humble man has emerged from the reality of the presidency.  His wanting to salvage some good parts of Obama Care is one example of a leader.  Remember, to be a great leader you must be able to follow!  I believe Trump has been tripping over his ego for a long time, and nobody dared to call it what it is...a weakness!

Alyse Galvin should be "screaming" about the lack of student achievement instead the overfunding of public education. The $50 BSA increase will not result in any increases in academic achievement. Money down the public education hole. Re Tam Agosti-Giseler--your school board should budget for the "worst case" and then you will have the flexibility to manage the work force. Use your head, not your emotions.
