I just listened to a montage of hate from the left vilifying  Trump for not speaking out quickly enough or using stronger language. But he did condemn the violence and promised a commission to investigate. Words and deeds.   The left didn't hear it because they're too busy screaming.   I also heard a montage of Donald Trump repudiating the KKK, David Duke and the   neo-nazi's  all from  last summer and fall.

 The left needs to take the cotton out of their ears and put it in their mouths. Lately, they don't hear so well and are speaking even worse than they hear.


Good one, Michael.


Do you have a reputable link/source for your claim " that a refugee family in BC was making $5300 a month tax free"?


The MSM is Fake News.  All I hear is whispers from the Swamp Trump wants to drain.  No proof the MSM says trust us, LMAO


You didn't vote for Trump, you voted for the ghost of Reagan.


Thank you Mr. President Trump for all your hard work. Happy Father's Day. Please don't listen to the hate from the left. They know not what they do.


Complicated: "consisting of many interconnecting parts or elements; intricate."

WOW. What an insult....


uuummm, ya. I see you prefer not to let science or facts get in the way of your opinion or "faith" as you like to call it. The bottom line is that in this reality facts rule. Supply some facts to prove your point and I will personally drive us both to mass on Sunday for the rest of my life.


You still don't get it do you? I just answered your question and you still think we need additional immigrants. So the solution you're proposing is to leave the existing US poor in the dust and let them rot and allow more bottom feeders from foreign countries to further add to the already full swamp? LOL


I've been reading about it in my paper copy. Guess you're not getting the right edition.


Populism is illogical? I think you're completely wrong about that. Common sense dictates that people who share common ancestry would work together for mutual prosperity and mutual defense. Canada's mutli-ethnic nature is engendering, slowly but surely, a vicious backlash against immigrants that will not be "chugging along" in a few years' time.


Haha!!!


Not to make light of Hamburg's troubles, but it sounds about on par with Vancouver's 2011 hockey riot. Not quite the end of civilization as we know it, in other words.


A lesson to be learned by the governments in their contracts. If companies require public monies there should be no bonuses, or bonuses that are agreed to up front. Not determined by the board. The government should have eliminated the dual shares. What about the corruption in Sweden? Is this not a factor on bonuses and management and board oversight?


Great accomplishment. Now his biggest problem will the the ever petulant people who run the Homer small boat harbor. Can you spell "bad attitude" . My Father and I had a boat moored there. The nearest plug in for the power cord was about 50 feet from our boat. We had heaters plugged in and when one of the employees snagged the cord, which we had pushed under the bullworks, with a snowblower, causing the breakers to trip and the heaters to go cold, resulting in expensive engine damage, we just got a ration of crap from the 'roids who work at the small boat harbor. There was even a tell-tale light on the cord which of course went dark but no one bothered to call us. Ergo, don't linger there very long.


Generally speaking the target for immigration is 1% of the population; and that target is usually not met in any given year.  Health care spending increases are now  2-3% per year, and through the last health accord with the provinces (over the last decade or so) it was 6% a year.  So I am not really following your logic, health care increases as as percentage are well above the increases in population due to immigration...


"As is his custom, he shied away from blaming foreign investors for Vancouver's huge housing-cost increases the past five years."

There's the entire problem, in a nutshell.

Vision continues to deny that foreign money is what is driving up Vancouver's real estate, despite glaring evidence and widespread public acknowledgment, which includes Canada's banks and the federal government

As long as Vision continues to trick young people into voting for them with the spin that the only way they will ever have a home is to let developers run wild, the cost of living will continue to skyrocket.

The reality is that the luxury "investor condos" are taking up all of Vancouver's scarce land, and leaving nothing for locals, particularly young people.  The evidence is before us all.  Three terms of Vision and rampant development and prices just keep going up.

The only thing that has moderated prices a little is the 15% Foreign Buyer's Tax.  This is what we need more of.


And you point is? Some things heal slowly.  If you really step back the World Crisis for lack of a better word can be tied back the America cultivation and encouragement of violent jihad Islam to use against the Russians in Afghanistan.  The world is still paying for that, and looking back we now know it would have been far better to let the Russians keep the pro Russian Kabul regime in place.  What came after proves it. Unfortunately the foreign policy thinkers in America are still doubling down in the destructive American/Wahhabi alliance.  It's tragic and lethal.


Again Rachael, you have zero concept of living in rural Alaska.  Your thinking "they" revel living in squalor says it all.


Given that the magisterium, papal primacy and infallibility are NEVER MENTIONED in the Bible, I said nothing about them. Just as I did not say anything about the designated hitter rule or L'Hopital's rule.

How did they get into the US in the first place?


Cook, et al.'s study is well designed and well executed.  The methodology is described, as well as are the bases for all conclusions.  Reservations are presented.

Friedman, the critic you cite, is free to conduct his own meta-analysis of the literature and his own surveys of experts.  Instead of doing this, he tries to pick at flaws in Cook's study.

Wow!  You mean a study has flaws?

However, all studies have flaws, which is why we use meta-analyses.  Read here for the results of other studies similar to Cook, et al.:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveys_of_scientists%27_views_on_climate_change

About the only study that does not support Cook et al., was a survey of people who worked for the petroleum industry.

Your guy Friedman is a lazy "pseudo-scientist."  He has done nothing original, nothing that requires the hard work of a climate scientist, and nothing where he can make an argument based upon data.

That's the quality of arguments you get by climate change deniers.


Sometimes being colorblind is a good thing.


Some whadaboutery for you - Canada deployed armoured personnel carriers against its own citizens during the Oka Crisis. The Royal Canadian Armoured Corps was deployed in the October Crisis.  I don't know which vehicles were used.


Wagon should be in one thing of its own.   A fire.


And taken completely out of context by the prosecutors.


Totally agree. Sadly, TE can’t block either. Of course, coaches could give them a chance by at least trying to find what they can do instead of continuing to do the same thing over and over again with the same results. Of course, that is what Elway has done with his draft choices of QBs and OL.


I'm sure they will continue now that they have your approval.


Did you read what she actually said in it's entirety?


Thanks for mentioning that fact. The reality is that the Bundy "revolution" failed miserably, though the Bundynistas haven't accepted that yet. No one in Harney or Grant or any other Oregon county ripped up their grazing agreement with BLM. They could only find a single person willing to say he would trash his agreement and ultimately he did not. As you say, it was a complete failure, though the anti-government movement doesn't seem to acknowledge the damage they've done to their "cause".


Boeing 737 MAX seems an obvious choice.


Yes, Just A Good Ole Boy, I've only read one comment from Joe Campbell 527. I'm basing my conclusion on just one comment. Regarding all of his other comments on these threads, I've covered my eyes (too scary) and not read them.


So much for the statement "free as the wind"! LOL!

For crying out loud can we leave good old Canadian anti-American sentiment out of this?  Wait, sorry I'm sure you are working on a piece to tell Yuri that a monkey and "dog beat him to it" ha ha.
His own countryman Alan Shepard also "beat him to it", he was the first American in space, Glenn was the first to orbit the earth.


If someone gave me $410 million dollars, I'd be friends with him too! This whole article is so phony. Is the purpose to draw sympathy for or try to reboot what the vast majority of Americans think of the fool in charge. Funny how some are now comparing Trump to Nixon. I've lived through both and the current is starting to make Nixon look good.


OK, how is someone able to siphon off that much cash from one place, even if she did it over a five-year period, and no one noticed a thing? They're still teaching math in K-12, aren't they?


Ok...  In your opinion, what should we say when something horrible like this happens?


That is what happens when you hire based on genitalia and not competence.


Why? Conservatives certainly didn't want the system changed.


The one thing women hate more than being talked about, is not being talked about.


I have many dairy farms as neighbours to my farm. They aren't exactly rich. If we are overpaying for dairy I can't imagine the money is actually in the hands of the farmers. I don't see Benz's in their driveways. They don't have homes in Arizona or Florida. They work every day. I expect there will be 'for sale' signs going up.


And does anyone know the cost of decommissioning a nuclear power plant?   What do you do?  Cover it with concrete or cut it up and take its contaminated concrete where?   I've spoken with hydro engineers on this and do date, to my knowledge, there is no plan and no cost estimate.  Nuclear plants can't run forever and their systems corrode rapidly.

Anyone reading this have a link to shedding light on this question?

Cheers,

Someone may fix a gas engine and keep it running.  The only thing that will keep a used electric car running is new batteries.


As Bob Terwilliger said, "You may wish to vote Democrat because you think they are nice, but deep down inside you know you need the firm Republican hand."


We seek connections, meanings, a way to make sense of this world and the next.  What we value of our past and history as individuals and as cultures, we want to keep with us, and even on a subconscious level, those things we value or once valued shade and shape our searches and what we find, for good or ill.

If what we are offered does not satisfy our needs, real or perceived, we will keep searching or add in that which will in some way help us make connections and find meaning and solace.  Hard to connect when there's a chasm seen between the seekers and those offering something that doesn't meet their deepest needs, especially when those making the offer are seen as not understanding or caring about the seekers, focused only on themselves -- or even as enemies.

Claim rent on your income taxes? Really?
A person may not qualify for OAS or have it clawed back if their taxable income (which would include capital gains which are 50% taxable) rises above certain defined levels in any given year. This could occur if one were to sell somelong-held investments from their portfolio.

When something is given a negative label ("Cash for Access") and repeatedly painted as "corrupt" of course a survey will reflect that label.   It's no different than the old insult greeting: "have you stopped beating your wife?"   Done often enough and endlessly repeated and all of a sudden the implication becomes the "reality".

There is nothing wrong with charging a fee for a fundraising dinner.     We already have laws and rules to protect against "corruption".      So either demonstrate or prove the "corruption" or advocate that fundraising be banned totally and our politicians be funded from the public purse.       Because to pretend that $1500 is a magical number whereas $1000, or $500 is "ok" is the height of hypocrisy (and the opposition has done all).      Further, private meetings with lobbyists, or heads of groups representing block votes (eg: McVety) in return for agenda influence are not solved by any of this.

Did you actually listen or read the speech which Trump just gave to the South Korean Assembly?

If so, then tell us exactly what was "erratic" or "bizarre" about it.


I'm not sure Trump actively supports fascists, racists and the KKK, but he does believe that there are a lot of good people who march with them.

Which is sort of a distinction without a difference.


Ham, Yes utilities fall into the category of stocks that are deemed to be 'interest-rate sensitive' and so with rising rates there will likely be some depression of their price.

So it depends upon what your investment goals are as to whether you should take any proactive action.
If, like me, the overarching goal is to generate a stream of income then one shouldn't worry about short term price fluctuations. I don't believe that increased interest rates will have any major impact on utilities ability to pay their dividends. Ergo, I just look at it as a potential buying opportunity.


And what's the cost of not treating opioid addiction?
Crime, prison, and emergency rooms are a lot more expensive than treatment.  You're right - nothing is free.


It's more likely a sign of the pig we have in the White House and his pig Administration.

She has never been a spokeswoman for anything. She's just a celebrity who, like many other celebrities, thinks she has the right to do or say anything no matter how stupid or vulgar.
I don't have any desire to see this, but I don't think it can be a whole lot worse than some of the things I've seen about Clinton, Bush, and Obama. From what everyone is saying about it, I don't think anyone deserves to be treated like that, not even Trump.


All PERA employees should be rolled into a 401K type plan.  Problem solved.


My point still stands. Expansion has essentially not been geographic.

BTW Malley is one of the key people who interprets any situation against Israel. People who want to believe that a raucous democracy like Israel, with its own internal, over the top critics, is the aggressor vs. the Palestinians, ruled by corrupt dictators, yearn for this stuff.


This is Trump's chance to do something right. Historically, much will be forgiven of a president who handles a war, terrorist event, or natural disaster well.


Ciga---weed.  Lol


Not a lot of difference?

It is still often referred to as St Jean Baptiste day. And you know it.

In the same way, in Alberta, the term Victoria Day is hardly ever used, most people refer to it as the "May 24 Long weekend".

All three western Canadian provincial conservative parties - BC, SK, & AB - are in change with leadership races. I suppose the outcomes will tell us something. With Brad Trost mentioned along with Jason Kenny, well, Mr. Harper must be proud.

Wouldn't surprise me if there will be another big surprise just after the R Convention. Will separate himself from the R party? Will he disavow his connection to the R party and all that are connected to the R establishment? Will he say he is an independent and will run as an independent? Will he disavow any help or financing from the R party?

DT realizes he wouldn't and couldn't have gotten all of this publicity (free) to date, without being in the R debates. But soon, he will drop the party like a rock. He is about to pivot, but not the pivot the R establishment has prayed for. DT is a user.

Will the R party then contest his name being on all 50 state ballots with an R before his name?  DT has a lot more to gain (Bernie supporters) by publically and emphatically stating that he is now running as an INDEPENDENT, which most have said, he has always been from the very beginning. Talk about party politics getting out-sneaked. I think a lot of people, L & R wing, would love this tactic.


NO MORE BAILOUTS, LOANS and other crap. ALL governments must stop hand outs to business. You can NOT justify it on any grounds.  What is it with eastern Canada and their bailouts?

The Church has always taught that to receive Holy Communion whilst in an adulterous relationship is in itself mortally sinful. How can there be any compromise on this, it is either a sin or it isn't?
If the Pope is saying that under certain circumstances it is not sinful, he is changing a teaching, a doctrine of the Church. He has, through Cardinal Schönborn Archbishop of Vienna, insisted that there is no doctrinal change.
It is vital that he clears this up.


Good luck hitting that urinal Blanche.


Great idea, but unfortunately that means about 100 votes per state for some of the states, and those that want more votes will just subdivide their counties to get them...  (Imagine Kalifornia with 200 counties...)  ;-)


I personally love Gary Harris. Incredibly improbrd and skilled. The best is yet to come. He does have some holes in his game but unless you get significant value in return, you don't trade him. He's not a problem. He's one of the answers to winning.


Charles, Thank you, thank you, thank you for this excellent article.  This story is long overdo.  My wife went to the Wrangell Institute.  I can't begin to tell you how many times she has cried over her memories of this horrible place.

12 step programs have been shown not to work very well. Here are the things that I am doing:

1. I am not allowing myself to normalize a profoundly abnormal political situation.
2. I will not make excuses for inexcusable behavior.
3. I will amplify voices that are not heard as clearly as mine due to intersections of oppression.
4. I will remember always that civil rights are not negotiable. Not for anyone.
5. I will continue to speak out about injustice, even if it is risky or inconvenient to do so.
6. I will help people every way I can when I see them being oppressed.
7. I will work to improve understanding among people who are wiling to listen and do the work.
8. I understand that everyone walks a path to justice and equality at a different pace, and will do my best to help people along the path.
9. I will not be silent.
10. I will take care of myself as best I can so that I can be here for the long fight ahead.


Look I get that he was your friend but yelling at the world for voicing their speculative opinions won't bring him back.

The Parliament of Canada could, if it chose to do so, pass a law abrogating the decision of the SCC and then exempt that law from further Charter scrutiny using the "notwithstanding" clause.

Parliament can do anything and everything if it follows the prescribed procedures.


We read about these types of accidents almost daily either in Oregon or across the country. I would like to see authorities make it MANDATORY that before ANYONE can enter a wilderness area that they pass a test on wilderness preparedness, (possess necessary survival skills, are you physically fit enough,  proper equipment, navigation skills etc.). If you can not pass, then learn the necessary skills. If you do not possess the necessary skills, you do NOT belong out in wilderness and this includes HIKING Trails.

Rescue Costs can be tens of thousands of dollars.  Do you realize who pays for these rescues?  You and I and the rest of the taxpayers.   People should be held accountable and have to pay back their rescue costs..........

Read the Sign:  Pay back the cost of YOUR rescue fees.

OK, Gee, today, I think I will go out in the wilderness  and see how many times I can run out in front of a big ELK,  without getting GORED by its ANTLERS.    OOooooooops, the ELK got me.  (cont.)


Zuma will not resign. The ANC will not recall him, not before December anyway. So, the SACP and the ANC MPs will vote to keep this corrupt, self-serving and incompetent president in power? (Read between the lines and the official SACP stance is that Zuma must resign or be recalled by the ANC, and not that the Constitution should be used to fire him.) Human behaviour at its irrational best!


Trump is a real infantilist all right but this was in plain sight long before the election. Too bad that the Democratic Party brainiacs chose the wrong horse to back. Hillary didn't worry Trump, but Bernie did. Enjoy the next four years, and likely four more of the same after that.


A lot of information in this story. Good work Mx. Roemeling.

32 of them have shown their disdain for this country and its flag.
32 of them have shown their lack of intelligence for falling for, and spreading, the false narrative that started this asinine "protest."
And as a team, they have shown they do not understand business 101 by alienating the majority of their fan base.

And many are not coming back.

Oh, another one would be to ship the politicians and bleeding hearts oversees to explain the hardships and hazards of raising children and maybe also teach them safe sex.


If PGH Wong was being paid to monitor the construction of 9 rail stations, why does it cost $36 million more to monitor the jobs all at once instead of one at a time?  This sounds more like rail shibai.


Does anyone know if he has a status card?  Has he been dodging paying sales tax with it.  Does he live on a reserve and dodges paying certain taxes because he does?

Agirl:  Lucky Sperm Club has its benefits.  So, you are Thin, HOT  looking, athletic, Smokin Hot Body,  ALL reasons to carry a handgun because you are targeted by the Males who can NOT control their emotions or D * ^ K............

A 22 cal. handgun is a nice choice, and any handgun pulled and pointed at someone  is a Deterrent.   HOWEVER, unless you are a expert shot you can still be attacked.  There are many  reports of attacks where the person shot an attacker  in the leg or arm, with a 22 cal. and it did not subdue the attacker.  The PROBLEM is the 22 cal. does NOT have the KNOCKDOWN Power that a 9mm, 40cal., 45 cal. does.  If you decide on a 22 cal.  buy a semi-auto.  And if  you ever have to use it, make sure you fire until you run out of bullets.   I am not a fan of Derringers even tho they are cute and deadly.  As I stated in  a earlier post, the most IMPORTANT things when buying a handgun are:  1.  Make sure the gun FITS  your hand properly.    (cont.)

Trump says the democrats are copying his description of the plan as "Mean" because he felt the plan needed more heart.


They were reporting a return by week six on the mile high report.


This has been going on since computers were networked.  The United States is just as guilty.  If the DNC didn't want all their dirty laundry spewed everywhere, they should have taken cyber security more seriously instead of following in Hillary's careless footsteps.


So Scott. Who is funding your efforts on this? Are currently in the Navy? Formerly in the Navy and now on a military pension? If I took the same  position you take, than I should automatically dismiss anything you say if  the answer to any of the above questions is yes.


And you no doubt will make a similar correction to those who make such dismissive comments about Mr. Trump ( you know, things like "tRump"?), right?

I look forward to seeing that!


"This does not mean that courts can hear a case where there is simply a breach of trust or an obligation between a political party and its constituents, as when it fails to meet a campaign promise or undertaking, when a party is indifferent to its supporters to whom it promised this or that. These may or may not also entail legal obligations, depending on the character of the undertaking." Wait, is there not a case for false advertising? Or is that not a thing in South Africa?


Does a Hawaii taxpayer have standing to bring a civil suit against Chin for wasting taxpayer funds on this witch hunt?


Shiftless2......I doubt it remains to be seen as you stated. From day one of Trump's entry into the "candidate" race - responsible media throughout the US ran daily accounts of his pomposity, his outright lies, the phenom known as "truthful hyperbole", his sanctimonious claims of his business prowess and his inane claims regarding national security. Those responsible media outlets and reporters will in all likelihood continue to prominently expose and inform yet the legions of the hard core Trump indoctrinates will profess the fake news from the left concept and the idea that it is only the voices of the "losers" whining about the election result. This is where the counter claims need to be made - to expose those who decry the truth as being as dishonest at DJT himself.


Dialog about sexual ethics?   The Catholic Church continues to re injure victims.  Church leaders continue with their legal hardball and callous response to prevent justice for those of us who were raped by priests as children.  Most of the cowards in collars and parishioners stay silent to the obvious pain caused to victims by their churches duplicitous public actions.

This organization cannot even take proper care of those whose lives were shattered by clergy rape and molestation.  Why waste time "dialoging about sexual ethics" when you could follow Christs teachings and act with sexual ethics.
This organization is beyond hopeless!


These are the leaders that we elect based on how they are portrayed by the media. As a citizen, I feel foolish that we are misled by our own media, who seem to have become slaves to the wmc power.

Or is this that old Austrian canard where empirical evidence is not as important as whatever you imagine will happen because you think your imagination is logical ?
Everyone of your concerns are shown to be false by empirical evidence in hundreds of experiments over the past century. Even the very first one, done some 200 years, ago proved to be a roaring success - even though it's results got fraudulently altered by Malthus (he wrote the report without ever bothering to read the data it was supposedly based on - he just wrote what he imagined happened, and despite your dislike for him, his view of people was remarkably similar to yours).

You worry about people being willing to fund the undeserving. Yet all over the world - universal programs are more popular, more easy to defend and more politically resilient than means-tested programs - and cheaper too because you don't need a huge burocracy to do the means-testing. People like programs they benefit from themselves.


They even cheat in their own elections. Too funny.

The poor old Brits. Now lead by a lame duck PM who fronts a party torn between its dinosaur anti-EU little Englanders and a slightly more "progressive" faction. In the wings is an old socialist dinosaur as head of the Labour party whose views on most things apart from massive spending commitments are shrouded in mystery. May's bargaining position vis-a-vis the EU is now hopelessly compromised. The leaders in Brussels must be laughing themselves stupid....


"Of course, we have to take care of those who are hurt, but the biggest threat now is unmerited pessimism itself"

Can a columnist for The New York Times actually convince the Trump anti-Trade Agreement supporters or even the former Bernie anti-Trade Agreement supporters that he really cares about them?

Much less that he isn't just a shill for Hillary's multi-millionaire backers on Wall Street who stand to benefit the most from the trade agreement she supported until Bernie called her on it?

This sentence was clearly the afterthought in his column, so I think not.

The fact that his source, Robert Zoellick signed the January 26, 1998 letter to President Bill Clinton from Project for a New American Century (PNAC) that advocated war against Iraq.  That he was a former managing director of Goldman Sachs and was a strong supporter of both of the Bush Presidents and Mitt Romney will hardly endear him to many this year.  His ties to Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and Armitage are also a problem.


Civil disobedience ?Will you be protesting a government's right to develop its resources so that the money gained will benefit its citizens ?When due process has been followed and the letter of the law upheld , you simply become another law breaker when you interfere with any project.


Yeah, we need agenda free posts, like yours.


Spicer is just like the other sycophants Trump has gathered around him. He will say anything it takes to keep his job. Veracity is not a prerequisite for any Trump aides. He in fact "doubled down" today on the outright lie about Trump's inauguration being watched by the most ever. Trump had a problem with the photos -- nothing about the totality of devices, etc. He said the photos were fake. That has not been properly addressed and the press should PRESS Spicer on this. Does Trump truly believe the press faked this information to make him look bad?


Now we know the “Republicans” who first funded Fusion GPS’s investigation of Donald Trump’s ties to Russia (before seeing him win the nomination and thus losing interest.)

 It was The Washington Free Beacon.

 Wait, you’re thinking, isn’t that a news site?

Well, maybe, maybe not.

We also learn the Beacon turns out to be funded “in large part” by GOP mega-donor Paul Singer.

The Beacon reportedly frequently employs opposition researchers to drum up news stories.

 It did so in this case and was reportedly getting a lot of information about Trump’s ties to Russia.

But when Trump secured the nomination they lost interest.

From the news of this indictment, it looks like the Washington Free Beacon's efforts are paying off.


The Pontifical Secret is more complicated than that. It's the Vatican's way of classifying information. The reason it does that is because it's a state. Most states and governments have a classification system where there are things that are confidential and non-confidential the same way the American, Russian, Canadian governments have a classification system for things confidential.

In the case of the sexual abuse scandal, Pope John XXIII issued a document crimen sollicitationas which set the stage for the policy in which priests who were a part of a Church tribunal on sex abuse were sworn to secret. The policy was then changed in 2001 by Pope John Paul II.

All in all I do believe that all the documents around sexual abuse should be declassified so these criminals and pedophiles can be imprisoned. It's just not as simple as people think because classification systems with governments in general are complicated matters. Just look at Edward Snowden and NSA spying.


To disagree is not a licence to disrespect.  And he still beat Hillary.   What does that tell you?


Ty,
 I bet your right! I'm sure Walker looks forward to waking up everyday to run a state that is going broke and wondering what can be cut that will result in the least amount of complaints.


that's not the whole story. Yes, the trees/bushes create cover for elicit behaviors.  AND they are diseased, unhealthy, and in decline.  If you are spending the money to rebuild and redesign a park you might as well take care of the trees too.  Sounds sensible to me.


I was too. The EMX should never have moved forward without a public vote. And it didn't go before the voters because they knew it wouldn't pass.
I detest "We know what is good for you" kind of thinking.


What proportion of Canadian research funding actually ends up in the hand of "climate scientists"?  Do you count, for example, those who research the impacts of changing climate on fish stocks etc in those "scammers"? That the climate is changing is a basic fact. and figuring out how to adapt to it is pretty important. Understanding WHY it's changing is also probably a good idea. That you don't like the conclusions ... does not make them 'scammers".


That's a myth younger voters are less partisan.  I found politics of baby boomers more collegial as they may disagree but generally respect the other side whereas while most millennials are non engaged, those who are active tend to not just disagree with the other side, but hate them with a passion.


Mr. Halls was not an employee who was terminated.

He was a personal services contractor.  Under that contract, the contract could be ended, without cause, with 30 days notice.

That is what happened.

He was being considered to work as an instructor of some sort; that could have been as an employee or as a contractor.

No one has a 'right' to get a job; no one has a 'right' to have a contract in perpetuity, especially one that specifically allows its end "without cause".


Californians are a mess , unless something happens to them, its OK!


"It is why they express such deep and persistent reservations about establishing closer links with China, a country that does not respect the rule of law, or basic freedoms for artists, journalists, ethnic minorities and religious believers."

To be fair, disrespect for the rule of law, the media, and minorities were campaign pledges made by the president elect. We are going to have to get used to doing business with despotic regimes one way or another.


I guess I missed the boat.  First, as a person who has travelled to parts of the US where rail is a big part of moving the masses, it is successful.  But where's the audit Gov.  Did you forget that all of you are accountable for a balanced budget.  It seems so easy for each of you in office to just throw money around without thinking and finding out how to stretch the mighty dollar.  But to sit here and grumble as voters is a whole other ballgame.  Every 2 years no matter how made people get, they vote the same people in.  So, everybody, how about TERM LIMITS!  I've stuck to my guns and I have told politicians to their faces, I will only vote for you twice after that you're out.  Unfortunately, we have short memories of all the bad things and vote them back in again & again & again...  Maybe this is the wake up call.


It's not our money any more, it's Omar Khadr's money.


As I figured, you have nothing. Va Tech. Ever read his manifesto? Of course you haven't.

Now do homicides in general. Oh wait, that would destroy your entire narrative, wouldn't it?


I do not share your pessimism about the way new manufacturing and AI will reshape the economy. It is more likely that this will create far moe jobs than it destroys and these will be much better paid. But an open conversation on this and new ways of thinking to meet the emerging world are needed and I look forward to having this with people like you. That is a discussion the G&M should be fostering and that we should be asking our politicians about.


Pierre Trudeau rode around Montreal on his bike dressed as a Nazi. Now we have to rename the Montreal airport to something more politically correct, like Kermit the Frog International.


Seems to be the only one with an ounce of economic sense.


No, I don't mean 'slippery slope', as I'm not sure what the next step would be; it is already a broken promise, and loss of fidelity.  You're describing communal living, as in a group of people living together as family for the mutual benefit of all, not necessarily sexually bonded; potential new members are vetted by all present members, to fit into the whole.  Communal living can provide a stable, loving environment for children, and needed security.


What if they did investigate it and found it had no merit?  How do you respond to that?


Where did you see a conclusion nested among the questions?
The questions presuppose and imply the need for answers before making any decisions.

I agree NK technology is not fully developed but it is advancing.   Even if a limited number of ICBMs, for instance, are 'successful', the damage will be catastrophic.   I do not see an ideal course of action here but there are also massive risks with allowing the situation to worsen (NK increasing technological competence and inventory of nuclear weapons).

Thanks again for the chuckles.  You are certainly entitled to your opinion, as clearly evidenced by your numerous, much disagreed posts.  You make wild claims while being utterly unable or at least unwilling to explain how you arrived at your conclusions.  For example, the $2 billion in extra expenses you attribute to the federal and state lawsuits despite your heroes at HART saying it cost them ~$46 million total (see Professor Roth's posts).  Your opinion would be more convincing if you could explain how you arrived at such a figure, but you can't, can you?

Unfortunately for you, the only opinions that counted in Ms. Kaleikini's suit were those of the Hawaii Supreme Court Justices, and they were in unanimous agreement that rail broke state law by not completing the archaeological survey for the entire route before beginning construction.


for once i totally agree with their actions great job


Wavemaker - This is the problem with extreme partisanship like you so frequently display.  Instead of acknowledging the wrongdoing in the first example, you immediately find a Republican that you think did something worse.  There are plenty of example of elected officials on both sides doing illegal and immoral things, it doesnt really advance a particular argument if we each just go one up each other.


Obama's strategy was to claim credit for a "stable Iraq" that he inherited from Bush after the surge worked - that Obama was against.

Then withdraw all U.S. forces leaving an open field for ISIS to establish themselves and take over. Then run out the clock doing a  military dog and pony show until he could dump the problem in President Hillary's lap.

In the meantime invading Libya - another oil rich Arab country that never attacked us  and had nothing to do with 9/11 - as he criticized Bush for.


Well apparently Andre Picard believes it's entirely Ottawa's fault.


The prohibition against women priests has nothing to do with Catholic beliefs.  It is something written into canon law, and canon law can be changed.
It's not clear to me why you would think that this has anything to do with the core beliefs of Catholicism.


Less than 30% of Colorado subsurface contains mineral wealth and a large majority of that mineral geography doesn't underlie private surface.

Steve Heimel - It is very sad when ignorance is allowed to rule the conversations we have in this country. Thank you for trying to educate some people. As a northerner who doesn't believe in forcing others to cowtow to my opinions, I appreciate the effort to at least insert some reality into the discussion. The South lost that war, but in many ways the entire country lost it because a part of what motivated the Revolutionary War -- that yearning for freedom -- was stomped into the mud and we've never really gotten it back.

Can you imagine if the Habs had have taken Rielly instead of Galchenyuk in the draft 5 years ago? The Leafs still need Dmen to this day, but they would be stuck with Galchenyuk as an anchor at forward -
 and not had a highly skilled talented young guy with a great attitude and leadership abilities for the past 3 seasons...(Lou would have rinsed Galchenyuk by now and cut his losses. Good luck Hab fans).


Also, little known fact:   the Carthusians invented the laughing face emoji.  I believe it was Brother Donald of Nollendorfplatz who came up with that.


She ran as a democrat too. even Trump would not want her.

She likes to quote the bible, here is one for her :
http://biblehub.com/james/1.htm
"But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind...........
Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do."


I'll play that game. If you increased the royalty rate from 12.5% to 50%, the only money the state would have coming in from oil would be the money the oil companies spend to dismantle their infrastructure and restore the landscape to whatever status state and local requirements dictate. Imagine how valuable all of that oil would be safely stranded in the ground! So valuable that it would never leave because the world would likely have switched to alternative energy sources that would never make AK's oil economic to develop again. Awesome!


The democrats have been losing elections for years because of their stance on gun control so why would the repubs want to join them? If any republican ever locks arms with the dimmy's  on gun control he's going to be political toast,besides it gives those hand wringing pants wetters on the left a bone to gnaw on so they dont use that time to champion some other issue or cause that may even be worse.Trump cant afford to loose the protection of his base by even listening to the democrats on gun control or he'd be abandoned left all alone and the demo's would finish ripping him to shreds.


I have a suggestion for Costco. Stop being so liberal on your return policy. I am so appalled at how these tourist bring coolers, swim fins, mask and even 1/2 gallons of milk back on their way to the airport. Really people!!!! Don't you folks have any shame in doing that??? Just because your done with your vacation doesn't give you the right to dump your USED merchandise back on a retailer that we rely on to keep prices a little lower for our families!!!


Always good to hear it from a local--and hear the background noise too. A network reported that one Montanan said she thought we should "suspend the 1st amendment" so the politicians could get on with the legislative agenda in "peace and quiet." While it's obvious that Trump has fanned the flames of media resentment and distrust, I'm betting very few Montanans would support these extreme views.


Absolute instantaneous obedience isn't even a guarantee you won't be executed on sight.

ACORN Fraudulent Voter registrations result in illegal voting.

2008 - The Associated Press reported Friday that the New Mexico GOP found 28 people who voted fraudulently in Albuquerque during the June Democratic primary by absentee ballot. "This is a bombshell. We now have undeniable proof that a significant number of fraudulent voters were cast in Democrat primary races for the New Mexico state legislature as a result of ACORN’s voter registration fraud,” said State Representative Justine Fox Young (R.-Albuquerque). “No longer can ACORN argue that their phony voter registration forms don’t translate into fraudulent votes. They do and today we can prove it.”


You must have firsthand experience in your own Brain I think...

"Have you ever drove anywhere after midnight and been followed for miles by the police?"

No.


Trump has the right to limit who comes into his country. I don't understand what the fuss is about. The UN cannot tell any country who they should take in.


I'm reposting this for fourth time, since some Trumpeteer must have repeatedly flagged my previous posts to be deleted. I guess they find easier to silence any opposition to their views than having a civil debate. Not sure on where my post was not civil, though....

When the SCOTUS overturns decisions made by several lower courts, that tells me that justice is not blind. And when Trump declares Qatar a terrorist country and a few days later sells them $12 billion in weapons, that tells me that his ban is NOT about terrorism either, but rather about something way more politically incorrect.

Oh, and let's not forget that Mexicans are rapists and bad hombres, your idol Trump said so. They will be the next ones he will be picking on.


Empathy is not alt left, caring about human rights is not alt left, standing up for people who are disadvantaged is not alt left, reparations and correcting injustices is not alt left. You can call it whatever you want, but if you stand with Trump and his racially insecure base, I don't call you my countryman, nor him my president.


You need to be reminded that Black lives matter.  Did I not just insult you, and call you racist?


It seems no party is immune to this as it is very reminiscent of "fluffy the cat" registered to vote for Justins leadership.

The LPC had irregularities numbering into the hundreds of thousands at the time. Dead people, pets, the same email used thousands of times...all signed up to vote for Justin.

Why? The DP has written full articles on the GOP candidates. Perhaps it upset you when those articles didn't mention democrats. I doubt it.


I'm laughing so hard I'm tearing up.. Uhh can I just say what you want to say?


Yeah, I can tell you where. The mothballed rigs on the North Slope can "pull oil" much easier than non existent rigs in an undeveloped oil field. They just need to be brought back on line. That's it.

The infrastructure is already there. The rigs are in place. The wells have already been drilled.

Hint: you don't know what you're talking about. Trumpster fan club?

Hi, T Rogers.  I'm a retired gent, no ties to real estate (other than the 5-yr. old 2,000 sq. ft. home I bought in BC this October for $399,000.)  I can hear gasps of amazement from readers all over the Lower Mainland.  WHERE did this incredible home price originate from??

Ans: Chilliwack, about an hour east of where you reside, T Rogers.  Just checked a couple of days ago, Royal Lepage features over 7 pages (PAGES, not listings) of homes available to you and anyone else for less than $400,000.  Have a look close to home and then...move up the Valley...


Yes, the NFA and wait for it gun-grabbers, its Canadian...


Alberta is actually quite centrist in that the Progressive Conservatives in Alberta are/were a big tent party. Its problems invariable happen when the Red Tories take control of the provincial purse strings. Then the Blue Tories take over to get the Treasury back in order.


There are some problems where just talking isn't enough...and as is too often the case, Russia has blocked any serious pressure on Assad to leave. This is the Russia 'little hands d' supports..who he admires as a strong man, or strongman. We have a state department in total disarray due to the payback for a stolen election...they both hated Hillary. It's sad to think of how quickly things have gone 'to hell in a hand basket.' Of course one can and should criticize the Obama team...they were too hands off after the lesson of the failed Bush administration's nation-building. At least Obama took charge, made clear and well-defined choices...consistency is the key, not bluster, to peace.
But now we have the absent Tillerson, 'Jared in charge', and who knows what else...can you believe the little d just learned that Assad is a bad man? Really? The pictures of dead and dying people is grotesquely shocking, my wife listened but could not watch, but we knew this...he has killed over 25o,000!


If you'd bothered to inform yourself before posting you'd know that Alberta coal is exempted from this action. Study harder.


What a clueless comment. Why aren't you asking after all this time why African Americans are still being subject to racism. Many Veterans and military personnel support this cause. Apparently you prefer racism still. Nice to know.

That's for the PMO to answer to... not Khalid.  All she's done is write a non-binding motion in Parliament and since then has received a steady stream of death threats for her trouble.  She doesn't have the power to compel the PMO to agree with her.


Hana Highway is sliding into the ocean, inconveniencing many residents and visitors, and there is a recent death of a youngster falling over the edge. Hana Highway is in the second congressional district. The representative's job is to get federal assistance for the State to upkeep Hana  Highway. And Hana Highway is a mere single example where a conscientious congressperson could be working on behalf of constituents. Her focus on issues outside of the second district, issues such as the nuts and bolts of infrastructure, is of concern because she was elected to speak for us. We did not elect her to serve as a some sort of ambassador. Why would we do so? We have a national executive with a Department of State and a Department of Defense. It seems she is trying to preempt them? Weird. Start fixing the Hana Highways of the second district....that is what we need.  Help the State and the neighbor island counties to do what is needed. That is her job.

The ANC has certainly been captured by the Zuptas.  A serious concern that arises, is what measures the Zuptas will resort to in the next elections to keep the Zupta ANC in power when they cannot retain the popular voite?  The prospect is frightening.


“We’ve seen nationalism distorted into nativism, forgotten the dynamism that immigration has always brought to America ... We see a fading confidence in the value of free markets and international trade, forgetting that conflict, instability and poverty follow in the wake of protectionism. We’ve seen the return of isolation sentiments, forgetting that American security is directly threatened by the chaos and despair of distant places. ... We’ve seen our discourse degraded by casual cruelty ... Bigotry seems emboldened. Our politics seems more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and outright fabrication.”

I never thought I'd see the day that I would so heartily applaud a speech by George W. Bush.  Well done, sir!


Look, on this issue, I am just a layperson, I do not pretend to have any special expertise...

... but off the top of my head, something looks messed up.

There is this sentence here: "China is the No. 1 global source of fentanyl because that country’s vast chemical and pharmaceutical industries are loosely regulated and poorly monitored."

Hello?

I think the way to address China's hopelessly poor regulation and monitoring of its chemical and pharma industries is for CHINA to step up the plate and get down to business there.

Look, shoot down my post all you like, but I think there is reason to be apprehensive about the RCMP tipping lots of secret information to the Chinese government in tackling the last stage of the process (the lowly drug mule getting here thrice removed from the production company overseas). What better way for the Chinese to get a front row seat of Canada's abilities and weaknesses in surveillance and spying?

Foremost, China needs to do better inside China.

Spilde's dictatorship started its ongoing reign of 'terror' about 3 months after she assumed the presidency. Examples include: 1. A manager received an invitation to attend & present at the highly regarded Oxford Roundtable on a topic that this individual was & is an acknowledged expert. Spilde vetoed the trip, 2. The same manager received the same invitation the next academic year & the result was the same, 3. Through an E-Mail vote, the same manager applied & was accepted as 1 of the management representatives to sit on the important College Council. Spilde, through 1 of her sycophantic women managers, cancelled the vote & called a new election. Needless to say, this individual sat that one out, 4. Spilde attempted to force this manager to help turn the then VP for Instruction and Student Services against another woman Division Chair, 5. Spilde sat on her hands, and thus allowed, Dr. Derek Mpinga to be harassed by staff, to the point, that Mpinga left. Is that enough granularity?

"Obama ran for office on the premise that he was a black man. He was not a woman and he was black. He had very little more going for him than that."

I'd like to point out that OBAMACARE is here to stay. Obama, being sorta familiar with constitutional law scribbled out the ACA and slid it under the noses of the SCOTUS and they said it was lawful. The entire altrightpubs clump swore it was unconstitutional. Based on whatever fox "LEGS!" had to say about it that day and the day after for years. I'd also like to point out that the "1st day" is long since past and OBAMACARE is still the law of the land. The altrightpubs were positive OBAMACARE would be vaporised once the altrightpubs were in command of all three branches. Their voters were positive the promise of "Root and branch" repeal would be kept. Nopers, lolol...That "non hero" McCain once again proved worthy of the moniker "hero". He took his thumb and stuck it in the oompa's  proverbial eye in front of all of America. 1-800 empire!

I might suggest Lane County should contract out the animal services to a private organization which would not be under the constraints of a union or having only one qualified person on staff who can provide the services. Since Eugene and Springfield seem like they are also not doing so well at this function, perhaps all three could combine their needs and hire one private service to handle all calls in Lane County. See if Cottage Grove, Creswell, Oakridge, Junction City and Florence also want in on the deal. The contract could be on a per call or per service basis, billed to the particular government entity responsible for the location of the problem, with bill backs to the citizen responsible for the animal involved, wherever possible. This is solvable with some co-operation.

Just to be clear, voting for Measure 97 will not help fix this issue. The revenue from that goes only to the State, not the counties. NO on 97.


Trump hasn't changed the office of the presidency.

It's fine.  It's patiently waiting for the next qualified and legitimate president.

I'm not a big oil supporter but why should they fund mussel control?  Why not charge a small fee right there at the boat ramp for the inspection service?  Why should a taxpayer who doesn't own a boat subsidize the guy with money enough to own a boat?  Again, welfare for the well-off.  That said there is an upside to mussels.  These little guys cleaned up all of the pollution in Lake Erie around Cleveland - that water is clear no and with no subsidies! I just wonder how nature controls these things in their native habitat?


To quote Researchers...

"$55.52 per barrel yesterday. At 569,000 barrels per day of TAPS throughput, that is $31.5 million dollars of oil leaving Alaska yesterday- or $11.5 billion dollars of oil per year."

That is still quite a bit of money.

Our 1/3 share should be almost $4 Billion per year and there should not be a budget crisis.

The problem is we are subsidizing expenses that are not audited.  We need to switch back to gross.
Alaska cannot afford this socialism/welfare for oil companies.


agreed


I don't care about any of this. What candidates did on the day before the election is entirely irrelevant drivel.  What you should have been reporting, for weeks now Mr. Herz, is where the candidates stand on the issues important in their districts and what their qualifications are.


What's contentious and not scientifically accepted is his claim that differences in gender are due to inherent and fixed differences in the brain.   You simply can't tell from studying adults whether their differences are due to biology or environment.

Damore's arguing that women are not suited to tech because of differences in their brains is just a way of saying that his female coworkers are biologically inferior without coming right out and saying it.  And at the same time, any woman who does prove herself highly capable is by definition some kind of freak of nature.

Women have pretty much had it with men telling us what we aren't able to do.  Historically, men have always been proven wrong.

Google isn't a debating club, and their HR people know more about managing HR than than he does.  They also know the guy's attitudes are poisonous to a functional working environment.  They don't owe him anything, except possibly severance, and even that's not clear.


Does this mean Canadians will be able to buy Irish dairy products for which they are world famous  from cows raised  year round on the the lush 40 shades of green  grass of Ireland
Not a chance.  We'd rather have it from cows penned indoors because of our  climate raised on artificial feed.   Canada is ill suited to producing dairy products,  otherwise why  do we need a 300% duty on imported cheese.

BEE falls solidly into the category of interfering with 'natural' economic processes.  I do not wish to debate its laudable aims or whether there is another mechanism to better achieve this but it is particularly onerous when it involves high tech projects.  Let's face it, SA does not make trains.  You could subcontract some of the wheels or chassis elements but we don't do the expensive traction motors and control systems.  Even then, those bits that you subcontract will be more expensive.  Let's look at higher tech examples: what happens when SAA needs new planes or CSIR needs a new supercomputer?  Yes, SA does make some sophisticated antennas and composite cabin structures but these would constitute far less than 1% of the price tag.  On supercomputers – zilch.
They only way BEE can be introduced into such a contract is as a rent seeker.  They add zero value except their BEE rating.  This is not even Economics 101, its Economics 001!

"Au contraire, Ms. Southey. Men have been subjected to abuse about their ineptitude, unreliability, and lack of compassion for years. Who are universally the buffoons in sitcoms? Men. Who are portrayed as so captive by their hormones that they represent a constant danger to women? Men. "

Just so we are clear, men as a class of people do represent a constant danger to women.

Roll Call, a paper out of Washington, D.C., reported an Alaskan woman affiliated with the Democratic Party filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission about that peculiar space in the Anchorage Daily News'editorial section - “Voice of the Times: A conservative voice for Alaskans.”

Jean Paal, 77, claims that Bill J. Allen, chairman of oil contractor Veco Corporation and Voice of the Times publisher is running a daily advertisement in the Daily News for U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski, but not reporting it as such. She points out that Allen himself and Veco are hefty contributors to Murkowski's (re)election campaign, and the Voice is "... essentially a paid-for 'advertorial'.”

das right palani,  should they have punished him and kept him in jail he would still be alive today,  although in jail.


When I was 32, I’d bought and sold two houses and bought a third, prevailed over a national homebuilder in a purchase contract dispute, risen to a position of prominence in my chosen profession, won a handful of industry awards as determined by industry peers, was managing my third and fourth brokerage (401k, IRA) accounts, served in an advisory role for two education-related organizations and knew my way around local government bureaucracy enough accomplish specific goals without declaring myself a victim of “the system”.

In short, I wasn’t some babe in the woods without a clue. Nor was I part of a seven-figure business concern and an adviser to the president, but there aren’t many of those.

For all we know, Jared Kushner may be a fairly sharp character or a charlatan – or both. But it’s not outside the realm of possibility that this 32-year-old kid (I’ll give you that, he’s a kid) to be in his position. If that's all you have, look deeper for something to complain about.


As evidenced by the proliferation of sanctimonious people.  You know anyone like that?


This friend could probably use some positive influences. And why would a parent try to shield a child from such experiences? That's part of a fuller view of the world. I'm surprised Mr. Eddie went so far as to remove his son from a school.

Businesses that under report sales happen in every industry. Anecdotal evidence is useless hearsay.  I have relatives in Colorado and they very pleased with the situation.  Over the last few years law enforcement has lost a lot of credibility. The foundation of your arguments is quicksand.


We'll never know if Bernie could have beaten Trump because it didn't happen. And the reason it didn't happen was he lacked the appeal to minority voters that Hillary had.  And she beat him rather handily -- 57 percent of the primary votes cast to 43 percent.

Personally, I would think that in a Bernie-Trump race, the right wing the right wing would have painted Bernie as the revolutionary love child of Josef Stalin. Then who do those "angry rural voters" vote for?


Donald Trump needs to experience some disappointment very soon in his Presidency, react to this as best he can and learn from the experience.

There is reason to think that responding to setbacks (something that all persons in public life must experience many times in their public career) is, to put it delicately, not one of his strengths.

He needs to develop a thicker skin and a willingness to recognize (if only to himself) and accept with some dignity occasions where he has (perhaps with cause) failed.


What intolerance?  To be communist left progressive?  History lesson:  US, CANADA, Australia, New Zealand, all founded by Western Europeans.  Talk about a closed mind.

What's with this WEIRD overzealous privacy protection of people that aren't citizens?

Seems like a simple solution would be to ask a person when they are arrested.  If you commit a crime, it seems fair to forfeit your tourist anonymity.  If the criminal isn't a citizen, and they aren't here on vacation with a passport, you call ICE.  Wouldn't you?  Isn't that the reason they exist?

I would expect that treatment in any country I visited.  I also wouldn't be shocked and flabbergasted if I were stopped in traffic, and they asked for my passport.  But I don't have anything to hide either.


Doyle seriously think a guy like Trump... With his billions and thirty years in the spotlight is actually some sort of "outsider"... He's as much a part of the system you decry as anyone else....


Nobody represents legislative disfunction and failure better than Coghill and no group of Alaska voters is more responsible for legislature disfunction and failure than the voters in this district; voters who keep sending Coghill back to Juneau year after year after year.

That "I'm a praying man" thing is troublesome not because I care in any way shape or form about Coghill's religious preferences but because he aggressively uses the power of government to inflict those preferences on the rest of us. And that redistricting scam by Coghill's party was another example of republicans trying to rig our election system in their favor because they don't feel they can win on a level playing field.

In any case, Republicans have been in charge in Alaska for decades and their leadership has been an abject failure. And nobody represents republican failure better than Coghill. Let's hope the voters in this district replace him with Luke Hopkins.


Only Trudeau can explain his actions that are contrary to expert opinions.  Canadians are still awaiting transparency and openness from Trudeau.


Violet, not sure if I am being serious or not but I think there is a point to what I offer here. I take issue with your sentence: "The faction that controls the Church is at one end of the spectrum".
There is a psychosis of priesthood. Clergy, particularly the top-end, attempts to take itself outside, or even above, "the spectrum" of gender and they/it suffers the consequences - and- it is offed on the institution, the mission of Christ, on us.
A tiny example: IF there were a Natural Law as they conceive and impose it, then a celibate priesthood is as intrinsically evil as is, they claim, homosexuality. If, natural law is really the intelligent reflection and reasoning that precedes from experience, perception, judgment of what is real as held in demonstration and consultation as normal then it includes acknowledgement of what is "outside the norm" to be as real as what is within.  Even in this scenario, celibacy and homosexuality are "outside the norm"- equally evil or equally not.


Bicycle registration fees could just reflect the same portion of the cost that bus or train tickets represent. And I think that bike lanes cost more than you think. Some lanes take up whole lanes of traffic, removing fuel tax revenue from those lanes. Others are dedicated lanes that are built in addition to the regular road.

But that is beside the point. You said that bikes lanes should be looked at as part of the overall picture. I agree completely. In that case, you can't single them out for special consideration. Otherwise, using your logic, since I have multiple cars, I should be getting my light rail tickets for free since I am already paying taxes with my cars. Trust me, I will gladly accept that $9 per day in savings on train tickets.


Keep your darn kids out of them, then.

As the former AEA President, I know exactly how much control we have over city and state government.
Trust me....it would be way different if we did.  Yes, we're kind of organized.  We have a lot of members that share some common interests.
The term "fleecing" is an interesting term for people that get up and go to work every day to earn their checks.  For all the lavish payments we get, we have to go out of state every year to recruit people to come stand in front of classes of 35 and sometimes more than 40 students.
If we're so good at fleecing, why isn't there a line of people waiting to do these jobs?


walaau808>  I like what I post so why can't  I like it?????   It's the truth so why not???  What is your problem with what I like and don't like?   As you can see, I do take offense to your distasteful comment and I am backing it up.  Why post something that is dumb and irrelevant???  Lots of the posters here do like what they post, don't you check it out?????  I do think it is somewhat funny like LARRY01 thinks, but truth is the truth.....


Hi, coal guys, Donald here, what do you think of the Paris accord? Really, where the sun don't shine.


As I read this a few thoughts came to mind, first, why does the GOP dislike tax credits when it helps PEOPLE but love them when it helps Corporations? Any GOP voter please feel free to answer here, Richard Rhyneer, Racheal Steavensen. What is there goal any way? Is it simply to repeal the law? Is the goal to drive down cost? Cover more people? I don't see and vision, any cohesive plan just any thing but the ACAl.
   Meanwhile I wan to point out that Trump said during the campaign I saw it with my own eyes, EVERYONE WILL BE COVERED, he said that.  Here is the real stickler, the GOP has had 8 YEARS to have a plan waiting, 8 years of telling us how bad this law is and now when they are in charge, crickets. It is one thing to say no for 8 years it is another to govern....


The RG encouraged voters to reject the only tax proposal on the table. Good luck getting something better from the legislature. It is not possible to pay for needed public services without taxes.


The problem with the Editor's position is that Trudeau already defended Bronfman saying he is confident that he followed all the rules appropriately.  At this point, should'nt Trudeau be saying "CRA will investigate and until such time that it complete's his investigation, Bronfman will pause his fund raising activities for the Liberals".

I mean, given Morneau's complete personal screw up with his own taxes AND Trudeau/Morneau painting their small business tax grab as a "fairness" measure and then backtracking not even being clear about exactly what and when - Shouldn't Trudeau the Politician and MP know when you are looking at Billionaires like Morneau/McCain or Bronfman.

It really is a question of Fairness even more so when all the money is one based on Inheritance and not hard work and initiative like small business owners.


Economic policy is more complicated than that. Regan had the second highest government spending as % of GDP of any recent president, 21.6% of GDP. Second only to Obama and not by much. He nearly tripled the Federal debt in dollar terms and as a % of GDP it went from 26% to 41%. Household debt almost doubled during the Regan administration.

Inflation during his administration was around 62%.

Regan's first act reduced taxes. His second TEFRA--while not increasing income tax--was one of the largest tax increases in history. Regan's own administration estimated that taxes were 19.4% of GDP while the historic average was 18.3%.

Regan was not a free market economist. He followed the same Keynesian strategy that FDR and LBJ did. He just painted it better.

And this isn't boiler plate liberal nonsense but comes from the libertarian Mises institute and you can find similar analysis from FEE and many others. Regan did not cut taxes.

The way you are putting it makes European culture an equivalent to vague pass-downs of native ways which as is well documented by early white settlers (St Mary-at-Hurons ?) where at least in part quite brutal.

We ought to stop with that false equivalence as well as the rather pompous one of "Truth and Reconciliation" which is an insulting appropriation of a name that is related to one of the truly great tragedies of the past century or so.


I can accept that both Clinton and Trump have an appetite for personal power.    There are some very different reasons on why they want that power and how they plan to use it.

Example:  We know Clinton's life habits to work for children.   We know that Trump brags about his sexual prowess.   Hillary wears an ugly pantsuit.  Trump wears beautiful women as an accessory.    These are clear choices in personality types.    Hillary is inclusive of others.  Trump likes to be the focus.

We all have our personal bias that attracts us to different types of people.     I have personal values tilted toward compassion, empathy, acceptance, forgiveness,  (and lazy streak with a tendency toward compulsive habits when left by myself).   I'm neither proud or embarrassed, it is what it is.  I would never run for a public office.

Write on LFS!


Trump got 40 minutes of microphone time; Hillary got 39. He got more time than she did but he is still crying over being moderated, just like a loser.


So a special tax that clawed back PERS payouts that hit the state median income wouldn't hurt that many people, eh?  Sort of like a special tax on CEOs?  ;-)

Thank you for digging out those stats, btw.


The cost of gender re-assignment surgery is a drop in the bucket compared to the taxpayer money spent on other thing, such as Viagra for servicemen, $40+ MILLION a year. But raging hard-ons is "National Defense," right? Your "it's the Defense budget" argument is asinine.


We no longer trust the corporate media because they have plainly become shills for a certain political  agenda. We knew this for a long time, but the way they shilled for Clinton was so over-the-top and obvious that it destroyed what little credibility they had left.

When we see that the media starts reporting, not hiding,  some of the inconvenient truths of our time, like issues relating to migration, certain religions and cultures,  corruption at the highest levels of government, etc etc.  maybe a modicum of respect might return to the professional.    Until then, they are nothing but presstitutes.

Well, why is it impossible to find where to comment on this proposal? Looking for links to BLM comment forms turns up nothing. Is there actually no need to comment? Are we just supposed to snipe at each other on this page, and ignore our rights to say what should happen to our natural resources? One thought: Oil will not get less valuable when it stays in the ground. It is the richest source of concentrated energy we know of, and the easiest to acquire and refine into usable energy. Why not keep some for great needs of the future? What is with this oil greed and short sightedness? Time to innovate, old horse and buggy advocates.


How about referring to the person by their name?  That would avoid the problem of "do I refer to that individual as zi, or they?" and potential for assignment to sensitivity training.

First name use would also solve whether to address someone as mister or misses or zhi'es or theyes or what ever. It would just be "hey, X" or hey, Y".

But if that isn't good enough and preferred pronouns are still required, then can one more be added?  It would just apply to me and my preferred pronoun is "whamalama".  Thank you for your understanding.


I don't believe there is a law against receiving information, regardless of its national source.

Criminal justice is largely a matter of control -- not merely of convicted criminals, but of others such as political undesirables, including minorities.  Criminal justice reform is thus seen these days as an erosion of control over the political destiny of this country as we have known it.  That's also what this election cycle is mainly about!


Your memory serves you well.  I and several other Alaskans attempted to place a voter initiative on the ballot to end the use of DST.  We were well received and did gather thousands of signatures but lacked the funds to overcome the obstacles placed by the Legislature.  Unless you have a organization in place state wide or can spend big money to  hire folks to travel to collect signatures you will simply run out of time within the year allotted. You effectively have only one  summer season to get this done.   They won't allow online signatures (but they will allow you to apply for a PFD check online). They won't allow LIO offices to collect signatures (which seems like a perfect mission for an LIO). Each signature booklet requires  a complex validation process that must be perfectly executed or every signature in that booklet is invalid.  It is rigged system and the legislative process won't work because money can purchase a committee hold on any bill to kill it.  That is the reality.


The Gülen Organization has been renting U.S. Democrats for years so I guess if this is their move then our "prez" will ignore them.


It just shows how thirsty the league is for what is perceived to be a franchise QB. If Oakland didn't sign him,  the rest of the league would have lined up to do the same.

I am beginning to think that Trevor might be hearing footsteps due to the porous right side of the line. They really need to scheme better to get Watson some help as he is just not getting it done.


Relax? After the endless wringer Trey put Hillary through? Not likely. But, after every rock has been overturned, every fly on every wall examined and cross examined, my guess is that Trump will be found guilty of only stupidity. Which, perhaps unfortunately, is not an impeachable offense.


Katies father and brother:  At one home, police arrested William David Goodright, 51, and his son,
William Richard Goodright, 18.

The elder Goodright was charged with four counts of possessing a
controlled substance, two counts of manufacturing or delivering a
controlled substance, and one count of delivering a controlled
substance to a juvenile.

The younger Goodright, a student at Willamette High School, was
charged with one count of possessing a controlled substance and one
count of manufacturing or delivering a controlled substance.
Loaded guns and $6 thousand in cash were confiscated.

People of Hawaii, wakeup!  The powers that be (unions) have decided that Tokuda is not playing ball and needs to go.  It's time to raise a public outcry over what is happening to Tokuda.

as you know, being whatever sex you are, in that "male" or "female" persona....the opposite sex IS different...physically, of course, but psychologically too.  I have not heard many men sit down and say "i am just gonna sit down and have a good cry...doesn't matter what you say or do, i'm just gonna cause I wanna.  it'll make me feel better"  the last sentence probably heard from mom..."make you feel better." +++
 it's not crazy, or whiny, or hysterical.  i'm not grieving or sad....it's just emotion.   I have laughed so hard as to set off a little crying riff, chuckling also then. a few female friends & I have laughed about it -  it's probably hormone driven and bet happens now to jenner  - gets teary eyes sometimes... before treatment he wouldn't have. ultimately, being a woman is not solely defined by being a mom...having children, breast feeding, pregnancy.  all the traits one admires in another, and the style of exhibiting them probably define male and female as well as body parts.

Sure, and the NDP and Greens can put forward a speaker. Then hopefully BC can get on with another election because the NDP/Greens coalition has the economic acumen of a clown shoe. Seriously, have you read the Manifesto? It's embarrassing - free stuff for everyone and a contempt for BC's resource industries, it's pathetic. Who will pay for this? The Green/NDP Manifesto is catered to public sector unions, welfare recipients, and law firms specializing in first nations land claims. Every one else should expect their taxes to go up because bridges don't pay for themselves and neither does $10/day childcare. Instead of focusing on jobs and the economy, BC is going to challenge Canada's constitution by opposing a project that helps Alberta families struggling with an economic downturn. Instead Horgan is siding with US funded protesters threatening violence. BC has "had" the lowest unemployment in Canada and they are putting big unions and David Suzuki in charge, good luck with that.

The US authorities ordered  the deportation of this man back to his home country  in 2011...they likely had good reason to do so...he promptly arrived at Canada's door claiming politcal asylum....he then carried out an attack of terrorism in Edmonton.

Surely the fact that the USA was deporting him to Somalia was a red flag of sorts.

Canada's authrorities seem to be extremely naive and gullible....surely the safety and security of Canadian citizens  should have been paramount.
