With all due respect Senator Green, one of my family members almost died due to inability to afford to get the medical attention for cancer due to the escalating price and cost of ObamaCare.

Furthermore the State of Hawai'i used to have the best model of healthcare before ObamaCare trampled on states' rights and further increased the cost and price of healthcare for everyone not just those in Hawai'i.

This pales in comparison to my premium skyrocketing from $238 per month for Blue Cross Blue Shield to $1,100 per month. I do not smoke and I workout regularly. I am not the only one who is being priced out of good healthcare. Repeal ObamaCare NOW. Do something better on the state level unlike ObamaCare which is corporatism at its worst.

Like local people used to say "Keep it LOCAL." Aloha.


Ya gotta be jealous of those Yanks.

They get an achiever like Trump and we get a dope head like Justin.
Their executive branch don't get paid while our cabinet is taking us to the cleaners .
They have an elected and representative Senate and we get a politicians retirement home.
They have symetrical federalism and we have 9 Provinces as second class citizens .

They are a nation under one flag and we are the Balkans under  12 flags.
They have hope.
We have despair..
They have Publicly funded CBS and we have a propaganda organ funded by the State .

You get the idea


Lets not forget how China took advantage of Obama with the Paris Climate Accord.    China can build as many coal fired generation plants, add more cars, etc. as they want until 2030.  At the same time China is selling solar panels to the USA after undercutting the American subsidized  manufacturers causing many of them to go bankrupt.

`Formerly` you were talking about dogs, which dog are you talking about.


I'd rather pay double for a Japanese one...


and let them rebuild the Romanov Empire?  LOL


I hate photo radar.....having said that, they should absolutely, positively, bring it back...technology is WAY better now and cost effective ....and ALL proceeds from it should be applied DIRECTLY to ICBC....for the sole purpose of applying it to RATE REVENUE........NOTHING else.


People confuse socialism with dictatorships and even communism. Socialism is what the world will turn into when the jobs are taken by robots.
Glorious capitalism is so cheap everything has to be made in commie china. Or billionaires might suffer.


Wow!  I couldn't make it through this string of comments.  Far too few have been deleted due to civility standards...


Maybe some target practice on moving objects is in order for our LEOs.


We as in" We Americans". Maybe I figured wrong, but don't we want something from the last decade other than the ability to chalk up points against political opponents in the US? We, the USA have sent people and treasure to this location for 16 years, something tangible in return would be nice.


After a respectful amount of time is given to grieve, family members who may wish to speak about this should be given the chance.

Unfortunately the world will most likely not hear their voice. The media will view this through the same scope as Merkle would view an outright apology.

Merkle's dead. Trump's wing of protection. You progressive jerks out there tell me who is the dangerous one.


For these reasons, Rep. Peterson's bill is supported by the Washington Association for Substance Abuse Prevention -- among many other organizations and individuals.


What Kent and Rempel have done is pure treason.  They are trying to turn the US against our government based on lies.  This is sickening and beyond unacceptable in this country.  I demand their resignations.  They would rather harm Canada than see Trudeau succeed.  The Liberals did the right thing and the Cons are putting out a campaign of deliberate misinformation.


Dear Emmett,
We have a LOT of work to do, and it will take a long, long time to reconcile the many ways that racism continues to divide us and perpetuate the social sins that happen every day.  But we are not doomed.  God is speaking, and we need to listen.  Fr. Massingale actually did list some steps that the Catholic Church can take (go to YouTube, look up  racism and the catholic church), but the more important question is what are we going to do?  We could pray.  Listen with an open heart and mind.  Read (e.g. "Just Mercy" or the examples below).  See the face of God in everyone.  Start conversations in our own church, family and friends -- for example, watch Fr. Massingale's YouTube or read a book about racism together and then talk about it.  Discern specific things our local churches can do.  You may have other ideas.


The killer was in his twenties and was a big boy that could have sought help on his own, or his family members should have helped him out.  It sounds like he was a drifter long before he joined the military for free meal tickets.


And that's why we have problems--there are too many people like you that like the laws selectively enforced. You're a scofflaw and a hypocrite.


Elise: I'm glad you admit that hiring "a million [more] social workers" will only minimally improve failing government-run services.  What you don't admit/answer is why you feel that the state should be the one to "provide resources to assist the families," and not non-profits, churches, and private organizations-- organizations who have time and time again demonstrated that they are more efficient, organized, and equipped to deal with these challenges.  What's more- you don't actually articulate what these "resources" are: care to give any actual statistics or specifics of services?  Like the government-run public school system, social work has now ballooned into trying to give countless services that it should not take it upon itself to give.  Government administrative burdens, bureaucracy, ever-growing restrictions, are money-sucking resource restrictions, and it is time for communities to give the resources to other organizations to help with this very important issue.


Jefferson did great things that more than offset his failings.

What "great thing" did Robert E. Lee do?  He was a superb general, but in the service of a noxious cause.


In fact, sociolinguists are far from unanimous about the fate of languages; with enough willpower and cultural attachment, minority/underused languages can flourish, witness the renaissance of modern Hebrew as a national language and the push for a renewed Irish language in the public square;
as the great historian Toynbee said, he didn't how History would end, but he did know that at the end  the Chinese and the French Canadians will be there. Resilience counts.


Corvus dba Ravn  dba Ravn Connect dba Hageland....

With stepped-risk transfer comes stepped-risk tolerances which then becomes increased risk tolerance ending with a bad aviation risk management culture....and multiple downed planes.


A hopeful development. Is the Senate bill Okaying PFD restructuring still alive or does it die with the session?


The cardinal should get out of the house and meet some transgendered people. The best thing the Church can offer is pastoral counselling which meets transgendered youth where they are and helps them work through their confused identity. An encyclical that would condemn gender theory would just be a cheap, easy response to a phenomenon which needs a response on the ground. Moral condemnations just reinforce the view that the Church is out of touch and has nothing positive to offer. Let's get the smell of the sheep.


Lol  He's "racist" too, so says someone who told someone who told someone else who just happened to hear, first hand, bits and pieces of a sentence Trump said.


Ahem, the dear lord was acutely instrumental in forcing the ANC onto us, the same ANC who now shows such lack of ethics that they dream up schemes like the free state farm where they screw their own people out of a livelihood just so they can steal from the taxpayer.  Not even the apartheid government did that to their own people, makes you think doesn't it? So, while it's quite fitting that the anointed one return and try fix his previous mistake, there really is no need to go on bended knee and grovel before his lordship for blessing us with his exalted presence..


No, no, no, no, no

Anything to do with carbon pricing and green energy was ultimately designed to destroy Alberta and Saskatchewan and strengthen OPEC with eastern Canada's dependency on their oil.

All these left leaning governments who bow to the UN and IPCC's pseudo science were warned about the economic reality when worshipping their false gods.  Now it's hitting Ontario? Say it ain't so!

Now we have a federal government mandating the destruction of our economy!

Canada's sacrifices will do jack squat to the world's temperatures.

Gotta keep fudging the numbers to argue it was a good plan . Keep fudging!


Well hey, Farrell is available. At least until a better offer comes his way.


I wonder who looted SA first, the Guptas learnt very well from the masters of greed and corruption and now they don't like it. Where is the apartheid loot? In Swiss banks, USA and UK.


Ok- that's funny.  Let's just hope for a Hillary  Presidental Interruptus.


Doug Lippay said: "What about Canadians owning property in other countries? You would think that other jurisdictions might retaliate?"

1) The biggest target of such changes is China, and I can't buy property there.

2) Far more importantly, you should ask Canadians under 40 if they care about being unable to buy property in other countries. I'd bet a vast majority would be just fine with "retaliation" as they struggle to find shelter in their hometowns due to a haywire market that has been entirely engineered by government policies.


Assets: ... her rental condo $327,500
Liabilities: Her rental mortgage $255,750

Own the condo with a mortgage or rent it? Please pick one and stick with it.

No other liabilities / debts were listed. If accurate that is a good personal finance situation, but apparently highly unusual.

A mortgage could be viewed as a form of Rent, if you take forever to pay it off, but calling it Rent is confusing. Most people use the word Rent for a non Asset place to live.

I find that the startling part about owning a mortgage free home is that the assessed value often rises by more than our Net Income each year. Wait for the next house market crash?

If memory serves me correctly in "The Vertical Mosaic" John Porter made the point that most Canadians made less than a "Middle Class Family" income at the time, and that folks who wanted to "own a home like my parents" somehow forgot about taking an entire working life to pay off a mortgage, and taking in boarders or renting out rooms to do that.


Not really seeing what your cynical, self stroking comment has to do with some jerk that had to skirt the system that is trying to keep out these invasive species and drive his trailer/boat into Green Mtn without going through the proper channels.  But, not matter how right you think you are and how terrible of a place this is for you, nobody is keeping you here.  Just go back on the same road that brought you here, make CO a better place and beat it!

"....attending school without shooting their classmates.."  what an ass you are!


Before the 34 years have passed, DIA will be asking to be "renovated" again.


As a young American I knew President Nixon was lying. As a middle aged American I knew President Clinton was lying. As an older American I have no doubt that President Trump is lying. In each case the partisans refused to believe it, nothing new here. The only problem now is critical thinking is at low tide.


What a publicity stunt


It would make a lot of sense for the Island of Hawaii to have two gun ranges, one in Hilo and one in Kona.  Did hunting on the Island years ago and a range in Hilo would be a very long drive from Kona or Kamuela to safely zero a rifle in Hilo.  Imua.


Read the story. The shooter was radicalized via the internet after coming here. More native born Americans kill people than immigrants, so blocking all immigrants, while it might make you feel good, would not have a significant impact on the number of murders in the United States. Think more, write less.


Kim can kill off his whole country, but still it has nothing to do with Chinese. Chinese just do whatever UN allows to do.
If you want to fight with NK, you can go ahead, nobody will stop you. But the truth is, Canada is no match to NK in military.


Kaine's interruptions, his face-making, his generally discourteous demeanor was typical of liberals in such situations.  Kaine's acts were reminiscent of Biden's abysmal, immature performance in his VP debate with Ryan. Kaine acted like a little boy in need of reprimanding. I was hoping that Pence would ask him if he could restrain his childish interruptions & act like a responsible adult.


As egregious as our nation's past and present treatment of aboriginal [not indigenous ] peoples has been, one might have hoped that JT's speech might have seen him embrace instead the much larger and internationally relevant opportunity to address solutions to crises facing mankind such as protectionism, famine, civil wars, genocide, jingoism and rogue nation threats. Instead he portrays Canada as an introspective and unengaged nation with little of value to contribute to the discourse on global solutions. Pity !
The sooner we can find a worthy candidate to replace this simpering young lightweight, the better.


Ok....then how many felons, illegal aliens and others who have had no right to vote or otherwise lost their rights voted statewide? The fact is guys like Stoltze with his "hearings" on this issue and others would jump for joy to nullify the primary election. Reason, too many of their " fellow travelers" where knocked out of office and off the podium. They want a do over....Forget it!!!! You lost, live with it......


Fox, Drudge and Breitbart can scratch your paranoid itch, Larr. C-ya!

Yeah, Hillary's bad. I heard she killed 5000 soldiers and a couple hundred thousand brown people in the Mideast. Wait, that was the last guy. Never mind...


I am not suggesting who one votes for President BUT that you vote for someone. My father was a great man....and I learned a lot from him....including his Second World War experiences...which were horrifying.


If you want to focus on facts then try these:

https://grist.org/climate-energy/there-is-no-evidence/

Facts are the Climate deniers worst nightmare because they have no proven facts to counteract the ones that science puts forth now. Pay special attention to the following sentence in the story

"The following diverse empirical observations lead to the same unequivocal conclusion that the earth is warming:"

If you deniers can't deal with that then provide some factual evidence of the contrary. Please for once just do that ... but then again you can't can you


Roman Leverenz, “This is the price we pay for our freedom”, which liberal talking point did you get that one from in regard to the Second Amendment?  Don't insult the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives for out freedom and paid the ultimate price with you idiot talking points.  You should be aware they did just that so you could spout such trash without fear of retribution from the government you want to run all our lives.


Two words: Corporal punishment.


Put up or shut up.

What are your thoughts on the following:
1. Why did the head of the FBI and the CIA state on a televised congressional hearing that Russia interfered with last years election.
2. Why did Donald Trump's campaign chairman resign midway through the election campaign on allegation's of ties to Russia. If there was no real evidence as you state why not fight it?
3. Why did Trump fire Flynn over accusations that he lied about meetings with Russians. Again if their is no real evidence why would Trump do that?
4. Why did the Attorney General recuse himself from the probe into Russian interference in the US election.?
5. What about Trump's appointment of Rex Tillerson? Tillerson has deep ties to Russia including well-documented relationships with Vladimir Putin.
6. Our press reported that Russia also interfered in the recent elections in France.


Usain Bolt will always be remembered as a tremendous athlete and a true class act. Not so much for Gatlin. I look forward to watching Andre Degrassi mow him down once he recovers from his hamstring injury.


What has the Bureau of Land Management ever done to you??


This is a little ironic. If memory serves me correctly, according to prior newspaper articles, Home Capital is borrowing money from Warren Buffet (Berkshire Capital) at about 9%!!!! It is for this reason alone that I would not buy Oaken GIC's.


I just know this is the fault of the NDP.  Things were peachy under the Progressive Conservatives.  And if the crops get a plague of locust, or better yet drought, it will be god's punishment for electing communists.


When will regular tax payers get a voice. We sit back and get tax raped while our politicians run a social science project on the country. ..... i know sit back, shut up and pay your taxes.


Mark Cuban said he doubted Trump was really a billionaire. But, but, but Trump is worth more than Cuban...


Wait. Wait. Wait.  There was no Russian hacking.  Wait. Wait.  Wait. Obama failed to stop the Russian hacking.  Just how stupid are you people?


I hear often the arrogant bred ignorance of the NON-lyme believing world as NON-lyme Literate Communities and those like Concerned12345 expels. I assure you that this individual does not experience Lyme and is a CDC/IDSA/Lyme Corp. protocol driven individual. I will give him that at least he follows the rules as he was taught at the big U. Unfortunately Concerned12345 belief system is out dated by at least 15 years as Lyme sciences are making leaps and bounds only in the last 10 or 11 years. As for Johns Hopkins selling themselves as the first Lyme Studying facility in the country. I was getting my info very much from Columbia and others around world trying to catch up with this monster long before JH. I am not totally sold on JH being the first but as much of the facility does not think highly in the belief of lyme. Dr. Aucott seems to be well versed in it. Even though he is on the IDSA board that I feel has put us where we are at today in Lyme.
Tks Nova.

'Gaspard visited the embassy and found it to be working so well that he wondered if “maybe... my importance to the mission was over-stated”
Mr Gaspard' importance is overstated and I agree with him.


Technically you are correct


Thank you for your comprehensive and compassionate post


No need to pardon Arpaio, this will be overturned on appeal based on the Judge's violation of Arpaio's 6th Amendment rights.


Mr Kenney has made a big thing about freedom of speech on campus. Fair enough. But as federal immigration minister Mr Kenney blocked British MP George Galloway from entering Canada as part of Mr Galloway's North American speaking tour because Mr Kenney and Mr Harper didn't like Mr Galloway's opinion about Israel-Palestine and the Middle East in general.

Isn't that hypocrisy?


What happened?  Did they fly on different planes?  Hell, those two could have just rode their brooms.  Problem solved.


see:https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2016/carbon-dioxide-fertilization-greening-earth
It's already happening.
"From a quarter to half of Earth’s vegetated lands has shown significant greening over the last 35 years largely due to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change on April 25."


I love this article. Much better than that whiny letter written by Shawna Curtis about her Landlord selling the bungalow she was renting. Let's have a tenfold increase in the property taxes of the whimpering nimby's who object to the high rise and then see how they react.  The nimby's are just another example of a bunch of whoa-is-me sad sacks with an overblown sense of entitlement.


She is a like the rest


You confuse the difference between the past and history. History is the recording of the past and, therefore, it is subjective.


Have to agree.  I'd really like to know too what hotel would tell someone not to bring "those people" back.


Totally agree and many people do not understand this aspect. Fake jobs abound and when a citizen applies you are sealing the HR case to hire that foreigner.
 "See we have others that applied but xyz will work for 1.00 an hr."


You know if you all would some how work out a place where our people sleep at night in there tents I know that this town would not have to worry about our children n brothers n sisters would not be sleeping on the streets or bushes they just want a safe place to lay there heads n not get harassed I would challenge any of you that live in a safe place go do what they do every night n day n see if would be able to survive even for a week I don't think you could. So before you keep on judging our people try it once it's not a good feeling when you don't know where your going rest n not get put down or harassed every day take a long look in the mirror n say you don't have a heart then your not human .


You're right. I'm sure there's a very reasonable context in which someone stomps on the head of a wheelchair-bound person before picking a fight with a security guard. You should probably riot now.


Like how he rates women he meets he's a 1/2 minus.


Last full paragraph in this story is the mention I am referring to.   When they express hatred of the group, yes.


"Cohen confirmed Friday to The Washington Post that he has retained Stephen M. Ryan, a Washington-based lawyer from the law firm McDermott, Will & Emery"

And now perhaps Mr. Ryan should retain his own attorney.

Thanks for the job-creation, Donald!


You are so right Downtown Corvallis is beautifully presented and taken care of, a real pleasure to walk around,


Another example of spending money with the same rail contractor insiders to keep running up the costs to tax payers without any clear idea if it will ever even be used.


It's commitment, to shaking down the man, and gaining political power. And ultimately starting a race based country within a Country, and have the outer Country defend and pay for it.   LOL.


The ridership “raw data” also had math errors.


Because they can now see into your back seats. The Camera's have been lowered onto the concrete barriers for this. They had no trouble seeing into the front seats and reading your license plate from above, like at the red light camera's.


There's no doubt they will hammer him at every turn, but let's be honest, the boob has brought much of this on himself.


Journalism may well not survive but given the state of journalistic integrity, it deserves to die off. Hiring blatant racists- the right kinds of racists mind you- to promote identity politics is a long stretch from hiring talented journalists with some professional objectivity to make commentary on the state of identity politics and the society wide ramifications it holds for Canada. Racist activists pushing an agenda make for pretty lousy journalists but theyre a dime a dozen and with Coles entrance into the Globes stable of them, Balkisoon ought to be wondering where that leaves her. The Great White quotas might just demand someone has to go. Cole is after all just a bit more talented at the 'kill the cockroaches' schtick than her.


Sorry Erin, I see you are an intern and are just writing what you are told.  You may not be aware, but it seems we have almost weekly upbeat articles about Chipotle this and that.  They really should have posted this in the business section instead of the front page, but again, I'm sure that isn't your call.  Good luck in your career.


Leafs short of 2 big minute blue liners of the Chris Pronger, Al MacInnis variety.

Capitals are a team that seems to perform in bursts. They are coasting and then suddenly step on the gas, but can only manage that for a two or three minutes every period.

At that time, good blue liners will help absorb and neutralize the pressure.

For now, Leafs need more discipline on giving up any powerplays and avoid any retaliatory penalties.


The conclusion that the sacraments are effective “ex opere operato” (from the work worked) was one of the results of the Church’s dealing with the Donatists.

Caecilian noted that  "the validity of the sacraments and of other such acts cannot be made to depend on the worthiness of the one administering them, for in that case all Christians would be in constant doubt regarding the validity of their own baptism or of the communion of which they had partaken."

The Church concluded that the efficacy of the sacrament is a result, not of the holiness of a priest or minister, but rather of Christ Himself who is the Author of each sacrament. The priest or minister acts in persona Christi (in the person of Christ), even if in a state of mortal sin.

The principle affirms that while a proper disposition is necessary to exercise the efficacious grace in the sacraments, it is not the cause of the sufficient grace.


A person using " to indicate a contraction truly doesn"t care!


It's not evil to use violence against white supremacists.   Our veterans passed the torch from failing hands to continue the fight as and when necessary.


more subsidy, increasing prices again...why do we all have to contribute to lawyers, realtors etc. already way to high income?


The ghosts of 120 Canadian kids who died on UN peace missions in the Middle East would disagree.


In Matthew 25:31-46, Christ tells us what we need do for salvation. One of these is "welcome the stranger". See also:

Exodus 22:21, "You must not mistreat or oppress foreigners in any way. Remember, you yourselves were once foreigners in the land of Egypt."

Exodus 23:9, "Do not oppress a foreigner; you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners, because you were foreigners in Egypt."

Deuteronomy 10:19, "You shall also love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt."

In the Talmud, a repeated admonition  is deemed particularly important. The Torah repeats it three times.

Jeremiah 22:3, "Thus says the Lord: Act with justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor anyone who has been robbed. And do no wrong or violence to the alien, the orphan, and the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place."

Running into the character limit, so I shall just mention that Ezekiel 47:21-23 tells Israel to treat foreigners as if they were native Israelites


Even Wiki has a different definition than Val, not sure where she is coming from, Mohammad is the last messenger of God and therefore inspired and infallible:

Islam is an Abrahamic monotheistic religion which professes that there is only one and incomparable God (Allah) and that Muhammad is the last messenger of God. It is the world's second-largest religion, and the fastest-growing major religion in the world, with over 1.8 billion followers or 24.1% of the global population, known as Muslims. Muslims make up a majority of the population in 49 countries. Islam teaches that God is merciful, all-powerful, unique, and has guided mankind through prophets, revealed scriptures and natural signs. The primary scriptures of Islam are the Quran, viewed by Muslims as the verbatim word of God, and the teachings and normative example

A Muslim is someone who follows or practices Islam - Wiki


Before addressing the format of the news it would be helpful if the CBC would address the rather obvious amount of self-censorship, ideological slants and "red lines" that has distorted far too many news pieces of importance to Canadians.

Fixing the formatting will do little to address what is a far bigger and more pressing harebrained muddle....


That's probably the most important thing for employers too.


"The Beatles, maybe."

Dylan, definitely... and Pavarotti.


Brooks is not, nor has he ever been a Democrat.   The problem is that most people have forgotten what a Republican used to represent.  I don't recognize much of the Republican party today.    Brooks can most certainly be a Republican and not support the mentally unbalanced Trump.  His concern is for the nation, not just scoring points for a political party.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Brooks_(cultural_commentator)#Political_views

Read it and recognize your bias.   I could also reference any number of liberal web sites that blast Brooks for his conservative positions, in particular social conservatism.

Brooks is a very smart man, but unlike some, also has the quality of humility.  If you read the link, you can see that his mind is not Shut and through his life has changed his opinions as he get's new information.   That's a sign of intelligence not partisanship.


HPD on every corner?  And who will pay for that?  Caldwell doesn't have money to give HPD because all the money going to da rail!


Eh. The state that used to belong to Mexico until the rednecks ruined it.

I like praying the Rosary with other people, especially with scripture incorporated into the prayer. I also like praying it alone, although when I do, I often use modern technology to facilitate my prayer: There’s an app for that; lots of them, actually. I also sometimes pray the Rosary with the late “Rosary Priest”, Fr. Peyton, by way of YouTube. (I love the Irish brogue.)
The Rosary is a private devotion; that’s true whether it is prayed alone or with a congregation of thousands. I am glad to have re-discovered it, and I do recommend it -- yet I am perfectly comfortable with the fact that it’s not everybody’s ‘cuppa tea.’


Bannon supported the indisputably bats$!t crazy criminal Roy Moore for the Alabama Senate.  Bannon's credibility (already very shaky) is now entirely shot.

We do not need that kind of crazy in Colorado.


Justin is ruining Canada


The state should stay out of subsidies for established industries. We should let the free markets work, government does a poor job managing these tax credits. Lets make a oil tax structure that gives us a steady income if oil is pumped, no matter the price. Then we impose a state wide business income tax, when oil companies profits increase they will pay more state income tax along with all other industries, and out of state contractors. Make the new tax structure fit on one page of paper. A raid on the P.F.D is not needed. The system is not working and stealing money form the poor , children, elderly, and disabled will not solve any fundamental problem.  Tax credits and P.F.D raid both socialist concepts for a Republican Majority to even consider.... just food for thought.


Please, can we dispense with this sophomoric argument? It is no more meaningful or relevant than an opposing argument that "if you don't respect a clean environment then you should stop breathing clean air, drinking clean water, eating uncontaminated food, etc."

Besides, the topic is pipelines to ship bitumen to China. It has nothing to do with our domestic oil supply.


I have quite a bit more than "high school biology".There are a few rare exceptions. But, for the most part, a Y chromosome defines a male. Transgenderism is a delusion. To encourage people to change the window dressing and hormones and live like the opposite sex is NOT going to allow them to BE the opposite sex. EVER.


Yes, mountains of debt have accumulated since 2008. I believe almost 40 percent more government, corporate and consumer debt in just nine years. Blowing asset bubbles seems to be central banks standard operating procedure. Canadians are leveraging up on inflated asset prices like no one else on the planet, so you are correct to ring the alarm bells.


This site really needs a "what the f@ck?" reaction/icon for posts like these.


Can the feds or the state clean up the bike path in pearl city?

There are tons of homeless and little children living around and under the overpass near the stadium. The trash and stench is unbearable which creates hazards for the people that use it. Most stay away from that area because of the rampant crime and drug abuse not to mention the homeless guys on stolen mopeds that drive recklessly. Not sure if it's state or federal land, but someone needs to step up and clean it up.


Amazing and sad how history is repeating itself.  I guess if Dad can destroy the Alberta economy, Justin feels that he can too.  However he is destroying the Canadian economy in the process.


Typical of Environmentalists. Construction jobs don't count as real full time jobs if it is in the Oil and Gas sector since the claim that few "long term" full time jobs are created. But if you build a building, bridge, road or dig a ditch, well, lets start counting those construction jobs.

Of course construction jobs ARE full time jobs regardless of what you build. How many people does it take to operate that overpass when it is done?


E.J. Dionne is perfect for the Washington Post, biased haft-truths delivered as actual news.


My first concern: Not 1 Federally Recognized Tribe interviewed.  The only one was Pearl Brower, whom has the same concern as me.  The idea is important, but I think both Western institutions of Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium and Alaska Pacific University really to directly involved Tribally elected leaders, not just nonprofit board members, CEOs.  Follow consultation protocols with Tribal Governments or they will fail as Tribal College.  Now, as a higher educational institution, APU Should develop a stronger relationship with ANTHC.  That relationship can provide space for a Tribal College in the future.  My guess, is folks are looking around 2025 as the start date.  The model at Lummi Nation with the Northwest Indian College would be another important one recognizing Tribal Authority in curriculum development.
As an educated (and many times overqualified ) Alaska Native person, the seeds for success in Education are in the Tribe, not the "Program".


" one-size-fits-all"?
 Honestly in all sincerity – it's a pretty childish and experience-void waste of digital space!


Thus passes the glory of the world.


In Hawaii we tend to ignore basic infrastructure:  Our need to have adequate public restrooms so that people can relieve themselves and sewage overflows as we develop luxury buildings in Kakaako.

Hawaii's tourist industry agencies want more tourists but ignore basic plumbing needs of the people they serve.  Bathrooms with toilets that flush, toilet paper, soap and water, and a means to dry hands are basics.  Tourism agencies provide  thoughtless oversight and place a strain upon available facilities when they do not plan for the most basic of needs.

If an airport authority helps the airport, great.  That still leaves all our other infrastructure issues of residents regardless of socioeconomic status.


ADN headline should read ... Gas Project Reaches a New Tombstone and not Milestone.


The hallucinatory effects of larium are so well known it has effectively been banned for SCUBA diving for a couple of decades - hallucinate underwater and you are likely to die.

The effects on other nations' troops (and the US Peace Corps) are also well known. One of our SCUBA diving partners has a daughter who took larium in the Peace Corps and she has suffered serious mood control problems ever since.

There are safer anti-malarial drugs but they need to be taken daily. So far as I can see, the fact that larium needs only be taken once a week was the deciding factor in the US, UK and Canadian governments' decisions to issue it. Daily pills might be a nuisance; for a soldier; but lifelong mental problems is a far bigger problem,

Your neighborhood first...if you had little kids walking to and from the school bus you might have a different idea. I work downtown and deal with the "street people" way more than I'd like and that's why I live far from downtown.


I'm not sure the purpose of this hagiography other than to make bicyclists feel smug.
You could write the same thing about walking ... sense of community, low CO2 output per person, eyes on the street, etc, etc.
Well, congratulations.
So what?


> That’s why we have worked hard to cultivate a “no apologies” leadership style in our workplace.

So ... Instead of, "Sorry, I got to leave the meeting to catch the Go Train" at which point the woman (man) leaves in the middle of the meeting.

it's, "I'm leaving the meeting to catch the Go Train" at which point the woman (man) leaves in the middle of the meeting.

Sounds like a recipe for rudeness.


The U.S. standing has nothing whatsoever to do with my post. Stay on topic.
And if you think being number 35 is good then you must be Canadian.
Definitely a Canadian if you think a difference of 4 places in your ranking between Canada and the U.S. is enough to be a major part of your identity, such as it is.


jeez,stiff sentence for stealing string


Australia, NZ and many countries have a point system.
What will the condescending Canadians come up with now? Many Canadian professionals and highly skilled workers will now easily be able to work in the US with Trumps new immigration and low corporate tax reforms. Massive Canadian brain drain.


Sorry that I was not clear; what is the source of the current stat?


Independent minded people come up with ideas. They don't have tantrums like two-year-olds who have just discovered the power of "No!"


Would any judge in Ontario convict the Liberals of wrongdoing? Not likely.   No one likes the feel of cement hardening around his or her feet.


"The police are the people and the people are the police." There are benefits to professional policing but Robert Peel's Principles hold true. The duty of community safety is on community members, police are simply fellow citizens we pay to do what remain our civic duty full time.

It is authoritarian and contrary to history, and our heritage, to suggest otherwise.


Why so? The kneeling protests have been going on for over a year. Its just the bandwagon NFL fans who just found out about it recently...

Do you have a Broncos season ticket you want to sell me?


"There is one life issue that has not received the attention it deserves this election cycle: climate change."

The Republican bishops will never mention this because it doesn't draw votes for their party.


Regeneration?


Meanwhile, however, Trump is furiously twittering away, so monomaniacally engaged in shoring up his ego that he has neither the time nor the attention span to wreak the damage he promised to deliver as POTUS.  Coincidentally he is also frustrating the ambitions of Pence to replace Trump.


So, how does that work with trump's FRAUD case for trump university happening later this month?  Will he be in jail before the inauguration?  It's likely.


It would be better if Junior 'urged' his inept finance minister to cancel the tax increases related to the small business people.


I am hesitant to believe that Hurst’s line has changed much regarding impoverished communities in AZ, East Portland, or anywhere. wweek’s and Hurst’s apologist stance regarding the cost of living in PDX stands as proof that you value only what you can take from the poor (i.e. their culture, style, food, music, etc.) but that when it comes to their actual livelihood, you don't even bother. Your mission simply seems to be the first to rush to potential new scenes and take credit on reporting first so that you can carry that ol’ hipster line of ‘I knew it was cool before it was cool’. Congratulations on another expedition into the unknown, at least for those that thought East Portland was Gresham up until this point. No doubt bourgeois liberals will be rushing out to East Portland to slum it out before they completely take it over and sell their own high end versions of halaal meat, tacos, and binh mi sandwiches, while explaining the merits of the free market to the freshly displaced.


I had the opportunity to work with him...firm and fair. Always got the job done. Really wish he was given the chance to be AD @ UH. He would have straightened out that place.


I shudder at the prospect of newly minted graduates owning large slices of big corporations! Young engineering graduates require years of relevant on the job experience before they can become professional engineers. They require a lot more to gain sufficient experience before they are fit to do serious management of multi-billion rand corporations. This is not a racial statement. It applies to all young graduates.
Clearly the minister has a lot to learn about his job. Yes, we get experience when we learn from mistakes. But in the real world people who make big mistakes rightly get fired and taken out of the management system and their careers are ruined. The trick is to learn from the mistakes made by others. Unfortunately some folk prefer to barge on in blissful ignorance and make their own big mistakes. But then accountability is not exactly the ruling party's forte, so maybe the Minister will get promoted after wrecking the mining industry?


A few facts to add to a suspiciously fact-free Globe-alist "world reaction," especially in light of the deceptive graph on emissions per country in recent Globe/AP articles:
-China emits more than double the CO2 the US does. In 2015, China emitted 10,642 Mt of CO2, and the US 5,172 Mt. China emits more than 30% of worldwide CO2.
-according to the Paris agreement, China is not obligated to start reducing emissions until 2030 or later. China has a huge trade surplus (i.e. competitive advantage) w.r.t. the US and most other countries, on account of their manufacturing, powered mostly by coal, and Paris would increase this advantage.
-sea levels are set to increase by 2-3 feet by 2100 (not 30 feet "in the near future" as Al Gore claimed), and even if the US after pulling out of the treaty made no adjustments, this would make a difference of literally an inch or two by 2100. Of course, there will be adjustments thanks to improved efficiency, technology, more renewable energy, etc.


Just look at California if you want to see the outside influence of wealthy entitites when there is an initiative process in place.

The very rich Mormon church singlehandedly got an anti-gay marriage initiative passed.

In 1956 the oil and gas industry spent $5 million (a huge amount 60 years ago) to try and get special lowered taxes.

In 1958 corporations got together to sponsor the union-busting "right to work" initiative

In 1963 the movie theater owners got a bill passed banning cable TV via initiatve

On the other hand, we have the County of Maui where citizens frustrated with no action on the part of elected officials (many of whom take money from the chemical companies) passed the GMO Moratorium.

So I guess there is something to be said for the initiative process in these days of Citizens United where only a minority of legislators represent the people rather than their big donors.


How much is Chelsea Clinton worth?


A story of how good alaskans can be is accompanied by the usual hate speech from F Minshall.


"How to respond to terrorist attacks" ?

Stop obsessively reporting on them 24/7/365.25.


Getting smacked down by Ottawa always brings out the rationalizing and despair in Leafland.


Not a problem anyway. A lot of  folks believe the word is pronounced as Alaskins.


I wonder if Tory should push for a 5 to 10 % tax on foreign buyers. Not enough to scare them, but city should get at least some of the money.


As a remain supporter the speech has allayed some fears of mine, but I want answers on:

-What happens if parliament declines the deal? Still out of the EU but with no FTA?
-Remainers are still being frozen out. I want more remain representation in the process.
-Clarity on the transition process. Do we start with EU law and change sector legislation piecemeal? Or do we start with WTO rules and enact changes piecemeal? The latter is very damaging to the economy.
-Assurances that the UK wont roll over on non-EU FTAs esp. US and China. I want clarification that no deal is better than a bad deal there too.
-Will having soft border with Ireland cause single market by the back door (which the EU will not want)? Is a hard border an inevitable condition despite the violence it may cause?
-Tax haven; I want assurances that we are not going to penalise the working people (higher income tax like Ireland) at the expense of the corps or have to defund services to the point of privatisation.


A little kid is going to sew up all that hate, and anger, and bag it away?
Laughable.


Bombardier and the Liberal  government of Ontario.
Priceless.


I can assume the writer will not be attending the DISCHARGE show on June 3rd then?


When did poor Kevin learn that he lacked support in Quebec ?


Kind of desperate to shop lift at a store in Ala Moana. Or should we say idiot or bozo or druggie. Well all of the above.


I suspect that says more about the people that participate in the local GOP in Hawaii than it says about this candidate. You should understand that thoughtful people are more concerned about impact in the community than what a bunch of gadfly blowhards think.  Click on the smiley under your post to see who is pleased by it.


The Dreamers are the easiest to deport, but the least deserving of deportation.  As Republican Sen. Graham said, they have done nothing wrong. Even if you favor adding hundreds of billions to our debt to build a wall and deport all undocumented immigrants who came here as adults, that is no reason not to grant Dreamers legal status.


Yes, he is misunderstood, sniff, sniff so sad. I know liberals are out there going "Awe, what a poor soul he is. Shame on those nasty victims!".


We're so sensitive today that we're self-pitying.  The level of self-focus and of "taking offense" is troubling.  The death of hardihood.  The opposite of a robust people.  St Paul would take us to task.

So many people take offense today that larger and larger sections of the Gospel and St Paul's letters have been "short formed" out of the Liturgical readings!


Ask why would a terrorist leave his personal identity documents behind? That doesn't make sense. Why would you bring any documents with you if you were going to commit a crime like this? It's way too convenient.


David Butts admits that "government-imposed educational requirements could certainly pose that risk [of eroding judicial independance]."

It doesn't help his case that Bill C-377 is justified in requiring exactly that by saying problems still happen.  Not even when he uses the word "egregious" twice.

Perhaps if the federal government acted a little sooner in filling federal judicial vacancies, the judicial council's own education programs would be able to do the job properly.


And yet Congress passed the bill anyway and Obama signed it.
Lay  100% of the blame if you want on the insurance companies, but if the bill was so corrupted by them from its original intent why did Congress pass it and Obama sign it anyway?
Didn't they read it?


Honestly there were better solutions other than decimating the trees.  Can't you think of any?


You BlackCloud need to go back to bed, you got up on the wrong side.


This is a great relationship building exercise.


We do get immigrants from G7 nations.  Go look at the stats - easily available.

FYI - our largest source of immigrants is ASIA - not the middle east.

Again, go look at the statscan reports.


Russia invaded Crimea, Ukraine, Shot down MH17, and committed war crimes in Aleppo.  That's before they go on joint exercises and give military assistance to North Korea and Iran.  I have to wonder where the GOP and their supporters have their head right now.  Pull it out!


Guess what brown.. if your car went airborne you were driving waaaayyy over the speed limit. Fact. There are no such potholes at lake otis and tudor. Nice story though.


Well, ain't that a bitch!  There's justice, and then there's justice, if you get what i'm saying winky, winky, nod, nod. (Apologies to the Flying Circus folks).


I think you're making my point for me. Owning a gun or having it on your premises won't make you safe, and in fact, makes you a target for robbery. Either that, or you're just confused.


The only disagree on your post comes from a Larry Davis.  I wish I knew what he disagrees with.


I give your post about five more seconds ...


It already is the case that if you start taking your pension early, you get a lower annual payment. And let's face it, the people taking it early, like the people who keep working, tend to be from the upper income brackets or to have secure pensions as teachers do. I find it puzzling that we are working with actuarial tables instead of doing the obvious. Canada had an advantage over places like the US, in that the largest age cohort was born between 1955 and 1965. They were in their thirties and forties when Foot's Boom, Bust, Echo came out. Ten years ago it was possible to make defined benefit pensions compulsory for companies over a certain number of employees. Much more of the aged population would have been able to support themselves in the coming years.  Even now, that age cohort has between five and fifteen years to work. The government could sell units in a defined benefit plan as an alternative to RRSPs, with large employer participation required.


You realize it is possible to collect and analyze data for both private and public health expenditures?


Oh, come on, howler. It is obvious to any thinking person that "immediacy" reveals an important truth about one's true feelings. You can hire an ad agency to create "content and meaning" any time. The fact that Trump had to be forced into being specific speaks volumes.


I agree that BOC has not much room to raise rates. I felt the same even before they started the raising cycle. All that "growth" story in Canada is fake.


Say all you want, but Skov is trying to "buy" the election with insider money.  It didn't work for Juan Carlos Valle, and it won't work for Skov.

I live in Ward 1 and have already voted for Emily.  Skov is too arrogant, and thinks he knows what's best for everybody else.


He's well qualified to write on this topic.

He's a PhD candidate at University College London's School of Slavonic and East European Studies, a Senior Fellow at the Legatum Institute (UK) and a Research Associate at the Institute For Euro-Atlantic Co-operation as well as the author of a series of scholarly works on the European far right and illiberal tendencies in Central and Eastern Europe.

And your qualifications are?


Fish:  Are you saying Prostitutes and Porn people DO NOT use WEED????   I beg to DIFFER...........


For those that hate increased employment and funding for school districts and roads its an absolute nightmare.


Saw the film "Radical grace" on CBC here in Canada. Really inspiring and interesting story. I admire what Sister Simone Campbell and Sister Christine Schenk have done in their work. And lets not forget Sister Jean Hudghes who tragically passed away who the film was dedicated to.

I agree with this article. Pope Francis has certainly taken steps in the right direction and is doing the best he can under the confines he's operating under to make the issue of women's rights a more prominent one in the Catholic Church.


Well, in fairness, it was a government run school, and in addition to providing the bike itself, time was made to talk about care of the bike, safety while riding, and other related subjects.  So the government is in there along with caring people in the community.  The school is a logical connection point to kids that would benefit.


While it's debatable to suggest there is equivalency between the referred to acts, impugning the Post's role in fostering debate is entirely off base. That's exactly what this cartoon does, presents one view. It may or may not represent that of the Post's editorial board, which offers a variety of views on its pages.

My only issue with the cartoon is its attempt at illustrating hypocrisy. There is nothing inconsistent with shock at the destruction of antiquities and opposing heroic depictions of national traitors, men who by the way lost not only on the field of battle but also in the court of public opinion.


Good for Judge, but if he played in a different city, for a different team, not many would even notice.

Ryan Zimmerman's having a very good season as well for the Nats, snoozers.

Freddie Freeman, who played for Canada in the WBC, likewise, prior to his going on the DL.

Bryce Harper, Michael Conforto, Mike Trout, as always, though on the DL now.

And then there's been some pretty great starts to the season from a few of the pitchers, too.


It should work if Jughead & Eco-Barbie say so.


Except that's the kind of thing anti-abortionists say.


All good points, of course.  Unfortunately, the individual to whom the good comments are directed is impervious to such advice.  He is not a serious man with, unfortunately, a very serious job.  He shouldn't have the spare time to make tweets of any kind, for example, let alone be guided by whatever may be implied via such a de facto half-baked medium.

We seem to be in an environment where decisions will be based on feelings, the need to bully, the absence of reflection, games of one up man ship, thin skins, and the application of unethical business norms in a completely different arena called government and international relations.

I hope, but am not confident, that the procedurals blunders associated with the Muslim ban will result in a more considered approach in the future - Trudeau's trip benefited from the pasting the Trump administration got last week.  Let's hope we have a fast learner in Trump.  We all have a stake in this.


That ill conceived Juneau Road, like the Susanna Dam, the railroad to no place, the Ambler Road & other mega projects benefit only the big construction companies & BigLabor - & should never have begun.

Robin Brena laid it all our in simple terms. We MUST return to an ACES-like tax system to receive appropriate compensation for our oil. Google, then read his stuff.

The Obscene Pipe Dream is no more than an expensive nightmare & should be defunded immediately. When the market is right, BigOil will build the LNG plants at tidewater in the Arctic, build the tankers & take the LNG to the Orient markets - when the market is right.  Alaska should make good deals to maximize our take on all natural resources at minimum risk. We sure don't need an environmentally destructive pipe line.

We don't need to encumber the PFDs, let alone the PF. And we should demand full restoration of our PFDs. Otherwise, we're allowing BigGubmut to rob us in order to pay others.


Yeah, when will those men get it?? Conservative women want to be mugged by thugs with actual guns concealed in their jacket pockets not a pointed finger or a banana!


Right back at you.  You don't love this country; far from it. Re polls - afraid they are in real Americans' favor.  As for the stock market, it was good before the Orange Stain took office.  Of course since the hypocrite who whined that Clinton was in Wall Streets pocket because she gave a speech, now has hired some of the worst, bottom of the barrel players to be in his dysfunctional cabinet  We'll see how long whatever little bump there's been since his inauguration lasts.  At any rate, we'll all be back in power soon enough and thus time there'll be no nicey nice


Great work, folks!

ACLU, our check is in the mail!


I present to you the most boneheaded comment of the day!


the kneehawks  got a new kneeler


As a huge fan of Laudato Si and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin it has renewed hope that our Catholic Church will join the Universal call of saving life on planet earth.   Together with modern science and the heart of natural family planning there is so much more the Catholic Church could magnify rather than let lay dormant.   Life before birth and after birth seem intrinsically called for in Charin's Universal Consciousness and overlaps with the real vigor and heartbeat of respect for God's creation that could contrast with the present denial and lack of leadership America is taking with regard to conservation and especially man made climate change.    It is deeply immoral to side with delay and deceit and the present fossil fuel loaded Trump government being turned into a branch office of multinationals like fossil fuel industry and banker backers.      Since we put the most into our one atmosphere and we have the most to gain by leaving behind our selfish and reckless competition we can.


If it was not for help from the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP), I would never have had the courage to speak up about my own sexual assault by a Carmelite priest. I am deeply grateful to Barbara Blaine, Barbara Dorris, and David Clohessy for supporting me and all the other victim/survivors of clergy sexual abuse. It is unconscionable to me that these church leaders are allowed to be above the law. They have no children of their own and they do not seem to value the innocence of children. The good priests and bishops are afraid to speak up, since they would be marginalized and victimized by their brother clergy. I believe that the majority of the leaders in the hierarchy do not have a personal relationship with Jesus. They are told to be obedient to the pope, not to Jesus, so they do not know Jesus as real in their lives. They ignore the command of Jesus to protect the innocence of children because the popes ignore Jesus and demand conformity to man-created rules.


The County has an enormous area to cover, over 4500 square miles, so kudos to them for their efficient services.

The City, however, is significantly smaller, but somehow less effective at their policing. Could this be related to how the Mayor, Council, and City Manager enable the criminal activity? methinkso...


So will members of the Alaska Royal Majority legislators be winging their way to the big Republican shindig instead of "working overtime" and getting a budget done?   lol


Canai,
This is why I liked the program in NM. They realized that the majority of people being repeatedly admitted to the hospital were also the same folks who used the ER on a repeated basis. Most had mental health conditions with medical issues, many were from the homeless population, either had a substance abuse problem or mental health problem. Once identified,they were encouraged to be part of the program where a nurse practioner does home visits on a daily or weekly basis. The program does a lot of advocacy, problem solving, from helping homeless to find housing, get regular meals, insure they get their medication, to any other need that they have that affects their health. If they find that the person is a veteran, they help them get hooked in with using VA services and benifits. With this program, a decrease in hospitalization, a big decrease in the "frequent flyers" at the ER with over all improvement in health for the patient has occurred and a saving in time and resources.


Nothing wrong with selling oil to China especially when it will decrease their CO2 emissions and reliance on burning coal.


The cell tower affecting Nikki and myself has had a few technical issues and has been switched off a number of times this year.  During those times at least 40 of us in the neighborhood have slept better . On the day that it is switched back on we all started to feel the same symptoms again.


All of us demonstrate independent thinking.  My point is that the black conservatives I listed don't agree with the liberal narrative of what is racism and how much of it is there.


How is Trump to know that Puerto Rico is part of the richest country in the world  ?
There is a reason he only lasted one year at the University of Pennsylvania


This long, costly, time consuming commuting travesty is a relatively new phenomenon, at least from my 60 year perspective. We chose work and chose to live close to our chosen employment when choice was an option.

The after tax operating cost of owning a car is simply a stupid, wasteful and a disgusting, environmental, degrading practice that won't stop until government and employers feel the pain of the cost currently borne solely by employees. Tax deductible costs and a painfully, high, tax free, mandatory, commuting allowance will be the beginning of  the solution to the problem. The silly little carbon tax on gasoline is merely a tax grab, nothing more.

Until then, government and employers couldn't care less about grid lock, your cost, waste or the environment.


The Alt Right (allies of Trump) are noted by the Southern Poverty Law Center for their association with hate groups, neo Nazi, white Supremecist, anti gay, Klan, et al......the NOM has been so designated in the past as have many of its associate groups, one of which was heavily involved in the Kim Davis deal with the USCCB....

In a follow up link I will note who in the Church leadership has been associated with these groups, as recently as 2015.


Wasn't this article covered a week ago in the Globe?  Filling space?


Can they help us in Kaneohe and Kailua for relief from helicopters which actually shake our houses. These seem to all be military aircraft flying at low levels. Also, there is a drone which starts in the morning and sometimes goes until 11 PM, circling, diving. Plus a jet which does the same thing, hour after hour. Complaints to MCBH and FAA evoke no positive responses. These aircraft could easily be higher and more out to sea.


I'm just curious..such a high number of DACA. I don't know how this system works but were they never offered or qualified to seek citizenship during their years in the US?


Rumor has it, yes.


If they are manipulating their currency (and it would be a slight effect if any), they are mere pikers vs China.

As a Bernie supporter, I held my noise and voted Clinton because I knew Trump's history and that of his running mate.

Women, people of color, LGBTQ, immigrants (documented or not), the non-religious/non christian, the physically impaired, those with chronic illness, those who like to breath clean air and drink clean water, the environment, science, wildlife, and our planet earth all know that Trump is by far the worst of two evils.


Roscoe - your comment reminded me of this quote from Alexis De Tocqueville -

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy."

Democrats are the majority in Oregon and most public employees are Democrats.  In 2010, M66 (tax on evil Corporations)  & M67 (Tax on the evil rich)  were advertised as the cure all for public funding.  Now they want more.  It has to STOP.  Oregon has a spending problem called "PERS", not a revenue problem.


There is nothing in the indictments that proves Russian collusion by Trump nor anyone in the Trump campaign or current administration. Matter of fact there is nothing in indictment that proves anything, they are still just accusations.


Actually, no.....Obama didn't act so antagonistic or childish towards McCain or Romney.  Come to think of it, I can't of a president in my lifetime that needed to act so childish about/ towards the person they defeated....from either party....at all....let alone 10 months after the election.


This means Horgan has just been given at least a couple of years to govern. The BCLibs aren't going to pull the plug anytime soon, without a leader.
Lots of 24-hour flu among the BCLib MLAs when important votes come up, methinks.


They should be cracking down hard on heroin and other hard drugs now that the funds have been freed up from pot enforcement.  Too many people dying of heroin use.


Funny to see Hillary and the dem power brokers have built a 10 ft high fence to keep the Bernistas out while Hillary and the elite are being protected by armed guards.  Meanwhile no fence to keep illegals and terrorists out of the USA and trying every means to take your guns away and take away the second ammendment.


This is the end of the european union,it will be gone in a year or 2.


Mr.Adams you understand the Quebec motives very well.
Personally I do not see a few hundred people wearing those headscarfs.
I see here a continually tested secular culture. Quebec wants to be secular and you said the reasons very well.
BUT for the very first time immigrants are testing the charter of rights to gain concessions on diverse subjects.
For the first time a group of immigrants simply does not want to fit in but wants to impose his will on the people who let them in.
We are in the first inning of a long , well organized and well financed crusade. This community does NOT accept our values and our secularism.
Quebec is especially vulnerable because of its french language, also spoken by muslims from Morocco, Algiers and Tunesia.
In the long term we will have 3 solitutes. The French, the Anglophones and the Muslims.
NEVER before has an immigrant minority done such a rejection of the people who took them in. WE are infideles and they could not car less about our secularity.


Delaire betrayed his soldiers, betrayed the UN.  and betrayed his country in Rwanda.  A hero only to liberals.


RCMP coming for the CHRISTY CLARK  BC  LIE berals

....it's about time.


Welcome to Trump land, where nobody is allowed to say anything critical of the Orange Groper....


Well, so they're not "silenced." They are quieter. I bet if they were quieter, people would not have started running quite as soon. Bigger, tighter crowd for longer. More dead.


Cool! You ought to write a book. Maybe call it "Tua Nonna Rosso (Your Granny is a Commie)"


Like him or not, no one has ever accused Comey of making a false statement. The same cannot be said of Trump, who has made false statements more frequently than most baseball umpires have called strikes. Trump will be remembered, less than fondly perhaps, as the president who turned the White House into the home of the whopper. Trump has next to no credibility. Comey's testimony will, however, for good reason, be believed.


I look forward to watching what happens as Trump and the Republicans take all of the PERS whinger's Social Security and Medicare away.

It'll certainly be well deserved in some quarters.


We were better off when people would go to the ER. Tripling premiums and quadrupling deductibles and then forcing people to buy it when there was suppose to be a large savings is..wait for it....a complete failure.


The developed countries are suffering through Progressive Disease. Ontario is the prime example.


This crime wave in Anchorage is a result of public officials, Mayor Berkowitz and the Assembly not having the WILL to enforce the LAW!
Instead of enforcing any ordinary standards  of civil conduct by the vagrants, homeless and nerdewells occupying the Downtown Square next to the PAC, they resort to spending our taxes
on useless site modifications.
WRONG!

Simply Enforce the laws on the books!

Credible reports describe unprevoked beat downs on residents along the park strip!
This, open drug use, public intoxication, defacating in public (yes that occurs) are all  a breach of  civil norms that must be stopped, but are not enforced by the current admin.
They will complain of constraint by legal threats by the ACLU and others.
TOUGH!
Thats their Job! Taking on and defeating the scofflaws and their Allies
Our officials must work, take tough stands to earn that high salary and cush pension!
Its time that our elected officials do their job!
Show some guts Berkowitz!

I doubt this claim will be successful. Courts assess damages based on real financial losses.

Not being able to sit with the rest of your family does not incur a financial loss, just an inconvenience.


My house has appreciated considerably over the last 6 years.  I'll be selling probably within the next year but I don't plan to fund my entire retirement from it but it will allow me to live for a couple of years without drawing down RRSP income.


Rex stunk like dirty feet.


I agree with Earlydog.  19 Days. I like your Doomsday clock! Time to make Russia great again.


That was my brother and his wife that passed in that accident.
"I suppose" after your insensitive assumptions that I come find you to fill you in on the details of that accident and I bet you show me what "fleeing the scene" looks like.


I followed MSW's link to the video "A Disgrace to the Chair of Peter", and the pope in question referred to as a disgrace was Benedict IX, not Francis. Benedict IX reportedly raped and murdered men...I would hope all Catholics would find such a pope to be a disgrace to the Chair of Peter.  CM gets a lot of criticism that it puts its head in the sand over some of the problematic things Pope Francis says (unlike One Peter Five). CM goes out of its way to avoid reporting on Francis. Of course NCR would be fine if Voris made this video under the papacies of John Paul II or Benedict.

I think MSW was being misleading and disingenuous in his characterization of this video as an attack on Pope Francis but rather ultramontanism. Does MSW subscribe to the theory that every utterance of the pope is infallible and magisterial or does this only apply to popes named Francis?


Pam, I would like to remind you that Linda Lingle could have vetoed the "home rule" bill which allowed for the get increase to fund rail. She did not. She is first in line when discussing accountability for rail funding.

"Mr. Trump cares about the environment about as much as he cares about marriage. If we ruin this one we'll just get another one."

Equally accurate.


How's he going to make a deal with the Democrats when he can't even deal with his own party?

Hey Richard,
When you worked for the Muni as a garbage truck driver, and received over $128,000 year in salary and benefits, did you complain that you were overpaid?

You were.

I'm assuming the move with Day is probably an indication that they expect either Watson or Stephenson will be able to play on Monday night after missing the Chargers game. I guess we'll see as they hit the practice field.


Writing this article without addressing the fact a US President with strong ties to right wing fascists recently stood idly by while white supremacists coincidentally decided now was the time to stage very public demonstrations is lazy, stupid, or malicious.

Brian Boutwell has based his academic career on investigating genetic ties to criminal behaviour, a field of study that has historically been used to "prove" non-whites are inferior. Similarly, Shelby Steele is a conservative with numerous publications promoting his view that African-Americans can make a lot of their problems disappear if they would only stop stop feeling sorry for themselves. In other words, these are not the people I would turn to when quantifying racism in society. Yet they feature prominently here.

This is really a terrible article and viewpoint, even for Wente. To the Globe & Mail: do you not see how this impacts your reputation? Shame on you for providing her a platform to promote this drivel.


Congress can impose sanctions-- the sanctions against North Korea are an example. The President can veto the sanctions, however. So the question is if the President does not veto this bill or if the veto is overridden by Congress does the restriction on the President changing the sanctions stand as constitutional? It would seem reasonable that it would stand since the President's veto power was overridden by Congress (or waived by the President). Powers over foreign affairs are divided between Congress and the President and also shared and I believe sanctions are an area they are shared-- via the veto power and via the requirement that the Senate approve certain Presidential measures.


Mother of course NEVER mistreat their children like fathers do.

It appears that the proposed changes will impose a high cost on those owners that left money in their corporation.  What if this money was left in the corporation to help it weather a downturn? To take advantage of a business opportunity some time in the future?  As seen repeatedly, in a downturn companies that do not have cash reserves are at severe risk of failure.


A so called "refinery" that carries with it long term financial and product guarantees backstopping its "success", all courtesy of the taxpayers of Alberta.  Who wouldn't have embarked on such a project knowing full well their risk and any loss would be picked up by the Government of Alberta.?


He was wearing a mic on his lapel, seated on a bus where there were nine other people (staff and such)!

I respect John McCain as well. He has managed to turn his 165K yearly salary into a net worth of $21M as a "public servant". Not too shabby.


Mr. Koplin I, too, share your concern about Presudent Trump. It would be a YUGE shame if he was kept from re-entering the United States for something petty like disrespecting grabbing a Saudi princess by the pu$$y...


Especially on cable news, this point resonates. Less supposition and more facts are needed. ... Incremental stories, though, sometimes are the only way to get a story developed and out into the public view. So I wouldn't necessarily disparage the small stuff, which can eventually lead to bigger stuff, a la Watergate, http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/watergate/part1.html. ...


Awesome facility and even better people. If you want to improve and challenge yourself both physically and mentally Crossfit will do it.


Most mutual funds in Canada are of the variety that are sold primarily by advisors. It follows, then, that flows into and out of fund are mostly influenced by the financial advice industry. Accordingly, the 'behaviour' that is observed in flow data and any analysis thereof reflects - again - largely the influence of financial advisors on a large scale.

Based on my observations, investors tend to do worse if left to their own devices over time. I have seen how the involvement of an advisor adds real value for people. But we also can't ignore that my calculations of investor returns in that older blog posts also don't reflect all that well on the industry that claims to offer positive behaviour modification as a key benefit.


While government employees and other freeloaders hand ME the bill for THEIR increase. One of these straws......


Justin Trudeau is useless.

Canada is cooked, and all because we have horrible leadership. Nothing but a bunch of political dimwits with zero vision of where the country should be heading.


Well, Nick, I am actually glad you are a bit defensive, because women have been on the defense for quite some time now. I'd wager centuries.

My charge of sexism is about the overt (the diminutive "saucetress" in comparison to the descriptors for the male counterpart in this article) and inherent sexism that comes from that diminutive. And it stands. This is sexist. Is it a "little" sexist or "very" sexist? Who cares about the degree of sexism. It. Is. Sexist.

If this review had stuck to talking about the food and hadn't minimized the female working owner of Red Sauce in deference to one of the male owners of Pizza Jerk, this wouldn't be an issue. Instead, the writer made a rhetorical decision and it was a sexist one.

And if you think "mistress" is "equivalent" to "master" in terms of what words actually mean, you clearly don't understand what "diminutive" means. Also: Ms. Magazine is not named the shortening of "Mistress." I promise. They are reclaiming "Ms." on its own terms.

I think that there are many people who would be happy to work if it was available. The days when you could support a family (the necessities).


I dont think you realize how much space they're asking for. 8 million square feet. Park Meadows Mall is under 2m. Any idea where to get space for 4 park meadow malls in RiNo?


Yeah, that one they did on Watergate was exactly what you're talking about, eh?


Never bet against Britain.


You realize you are assuming they don't do such inspections now, right? That's my point, calling for "more" inspections assumes without actual evidence that either none are being done or the current ones are inadequate. A valid argument, or even an informed opinion, require those implicit assertions have proof behind them prior to being taken seriously.

It's just logical reasoning. Why does it seem so hard for so many?


''We will make the necessary investments in our military, to not only redress years of neglect and underfunding, but also to place the Canadian Armed Forces on a new footing—with the equipment, training, resources and consistent, predictable financing they need to do their difficult, dangerous and important work.

We owe this to our women and men in uniform. We will not let them down, Mr. Speaker.''

This was good to hear, but we also need to redress years of neglect and underfunding in Canada's Foreign Service, which is actually part of Ms. Freeland's department.


You really believe this, or are just a fear monger? Who will take care of our Kapuna? Our working families will be homeless! Without a $20 billion archaic single route train, that takes it's riders to a high end shopping mall, our entire island economy will come crashing down. The farther we keep building this monstrosity, the greater the debt load, the more difficult to hear voices of reason.


Sometimes delusional people invite it. First with a smarmy alias, then with a post.


Don't buy Trump products, but don't penalise The Bay who are in enough financial trouble already.


How about also raising the taxes on the businesses that send money/ profits out of state, Why should the load fall on the
working people to help them keep frisking the state. They prospered too from the good times only fair they help during
tough times.


Agreed.  This and other articles still haven't addressed the policy and how it has spiralled out.  Trudeau won't be definitive either and the media isn't demanding him to be.  Classic case of saying things when they're easy and running when you are called on it.


And from Castroville it's only a short hop to Gilroy--garlic capital of the world.  Put those two together and you have one tasty feast!


Desperate Rob Anthony, who is exhausted, knows nothing about criminal law! Keeps talking but everyone ignores! Sad!


Republicans have a big problem.  The energy czars -- Koch brothers -- who fund the republican cabel have completely convinced their gullible base that climate warming is a hoax for their own selfish purposes.  Of course, everyone else in the world -- including most republicans -- realize that climate change is real and dangerous.  But if republicans acknowledge the obvious, they have to admit that they have been deceiving their gullible base.


No thanks to "Lisa the lying liberal". We now have a fantastic opportunity to clean up our failing school systems. For too long the criminal syndicates known as "teachers unions" have controlled our education system. That's why we are spending more and getting less. It's time for a complete change in how we educate our young. If I could go back in time, my children would have never seen the inside of a public school. I am very excited that Ms DeVos can start cleaning out the swamp and getting our children back on track to a good education.

Reducing the Transmission of Blood-Borne Viral Infections & Other Injection Related Infections

"Self-reports from users of the INSITE service and from users of SIS services in other countries indicate that needle sharing decreases with increased use of SISs. Mathematical modeling, based on assumptions about baseline rates of needle sharing, the risks of HIV transmission and other variables, generated very wide ranging estimates for the number of HIV cases that might have been prevented. The EAC were not convinced that these assumptions were entirely valid.

"Trump was touring the Museum of African American History and Culture, and according to witnesses he noticed a stone auction block on which slaves would stand and was moved to say, ‘That is just not good, that is not good.’
I haven’t heard that kind of eloquent enunciation since the Civil War novel The Red Badge of Dang, That Is Messed Up."
---Stephen Colbert

Trump knows maybe 50, 60 words top.

He uses maybe 10 of them to get through most days.

Trump has achieved what no other has done before, he's like a master of dysfunctional illiteracy.


Back at you, Dick. But, I'd still attend a dance with you, as an American. Just sparring now, right?


More than likely he had a drug problem. I wouldn't be surprised if reefer was part of it. Seems like folks needing a fix will resort to almost any means to get high. How he will handle reefer withdrawal in prison is something that cannot be answered at this time.

Margaret misspoke.  The actual quote was "green fields" as in green fields development.  All the useful farmland, and more, is in the greenbelt.

But, as the developer pointed out, with all the rules and regulations it is impossible for the market to react to the changes in demand.  Consequenlty, the planning horizon is around 10 years and Wynne did nothing to correct this problem.


Nice use of buzz-words, such as "Voodoo", "turbocharge", "tremendous", "forward thinking" (LTD already used that, which failed), etc.  What is the connection between Kesey Square, a single entertainment event in 2021, to concluding with a claim of several thousands more workers in new well paying jobs.

How does your plan for Kesey Square translate into "thousands (of) more workers in well paying jobs?

"...thousands of years"? Exaggerate do you? I have probably read more books than you have seen, but since leaving the legal field, don't find much use in reading opinions by Supreme Court justices...I would rather read actual decisions on court cases. Since I don't attend the University of Alaska, I rarely use their library. Additionally, since I was responsible for urinalysis for the Coast Guard in the 14th District before I retired, I think it is probably you who needs the analyst. You have simply picked the opinion of one Republican who wrote over 100 years ago and still are living in the past rather than advance to the present and plan for the future.


Trudeau has been doing so all along. As soon as Trump's initial stab at a travel ban was rolled out, Trudeau immediately responded to the chaos with statements that refugees were welcome here, and that Canada did not believe that barring them from entering a country helped neither security, or the people. He basically ridiculed Trump without naming him. He's been doing it since Trump took office. It's called subtlety.


Catch 22 indeed. Who wants to shoot a moose 200 yard away from your 4 wheeler, when you could drop one right in front of your freezer?  I imagine a tow line to drag it out to sea afterwards.. But even then you don't know where it'll end up..  The author should think about discussing how to resolve this rather than fear mongering. Me and a friend almost flew out there to see the Polar bears.. They cold sell tickets to glass boxes to be right up next to the GUTPILE.  They could use that money to pay for Bear Patrol.


<Most Catholics who voted for Trump did so because they fell for his racist fear campaign and not because of abortion.>
But those who were gullible enough to vote for him because of abortion, or who persuaded themselves that Trump was serious about "healthcare for everyone", were duped.  The rest -- the racist base -- used the code, "It's the Supreme Court", to sanitize the filth of Trump's racist campaign.


Lying seems to have worked well for Donny throughout his life... up until now. Is he even aware how many Republicans now believe he's a lying Russia puppet?? If he weren't guilty, he wouldn't keep trying to stop the investigation. Thinks he's still on his stupid show where he could boost his ego by firing people.


Maybe you are right because liberals attach viciously, conservatives, with so much of hatred! Most conservatives protest the evils, taught by GOD, with love, not with hatred. We do want to make a difference in these peoples lives, if we can turn one person away from this evil we would feel we have won a battle!! GO TRUMP, wake up conservatives, who dare no speak up against this 'abomination, to GOD, LGBT!


This was a game for the ages . One of the greatest high school football games ever played in Alaska .  While the best team won this game , it's only a title on paper.  Small school Soldotna would beat Bartlett any day of the week.  They are clearly the best team in Alaska . There is no comparison .


I concur with others that this is a good article. But so what - those of us who understand and respect the words and the writer are the kind who would, are we not? Preaching to the choir comes to mind - and I do NOT say that to diminish Henein.  But if anything shows that to MANY people facts don't matter -it's Trump in the Whitehouse and Spicer and Conway shamelessly spinning.

How to reach the people honestly scared and who think everyone's out to hoodwink them and that the  falsehoods they hold are in fact, truth?

I understand FOX news is still running with the story that the Quebec mosque shooting was perpetrated by a Moroccan Muslim.


You should re-read Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations. Smith argues there is one class of entities we should trust less than government: rent-seeker businesses. It is imperative for the government to protect against their monopolistic tendencies, and those tendencies have never been stronger than they are today. Who opposes Net Neutrality? Only rent-seeker ISP's. Who's against environmental regulations? Again, rent-seekers. They complain about regulations making them uncompetitive when in reality, it is their poor business decisions.

If you're feeling up to it, I also recommend all of Kenneth Arrow's work, which provides the mathematical underpinnings of the invisible hand. He proved the free market provides the most efficient welfare allocation, but spent the rest of his career showing there was no feasible way the free market can provide healthcare - only the government can do so in a fair, efficient way.


Meanwhile, payback is already moving forward from this administration.

[The director of the U.S. Treasury Department’s sanctions office lobbied lawmakers to water down U.S. sanctions legislation on Russia.

I could not have been sexually derisive, as I do not make such comments.  I say derisive things about some women, but the things they say to provoke my derision have nothing to do with their being women, whom I usually like, but rather with their expressing the ridiculous ideas of radical feminism.  Don't confuse the two.


Keep it up Senator. Good job!!!


My pronoun is oogliboogly.


Well said.  This would be a most-timely case study in any PoliSci course.  Better yet, teach it in Social Studies in high school so kids can understand the consequences.

The payout is a great example of how messed up our country is. Khadr is now one of the richest people in Canada thanks to our f**ked up laws. The federal government should be apologizing to Canadians for having laws that allowed Khadr to come back into Canada even though he was not born here. They should also apologize to Canadians for having a supreme court that puts the rights of refugees and immigrants ahead of Canadians who were born in this Country. Laws should be in place that make it easier to get immigrants and refugees that commit serious crimes out of Canada for good. If a 15 year-old is intelligent enough to build roadside bombs he should not be considered a child. Khadr should have been left at Guatanomo Bay.


The State seems to hire a lot of computer expert firms that mess up State computer projects.  Maybe they need to review the method they use to procure these firms.  Failed projects cost the State a lot of money and time and seriously inconvenience the public.


.... AND where are with Dlamini paying  legal fees etc for her crass and stupid behaviour.... waiting still on the Constitutional Court.

I've worked at the Platinum, Alaska fishery plant for the last two years. I was shocked how much fish we were all working on, and thought, "No wonder families cannot over harvest as much fish as we can like how my grandmother would say." or "No wonder fish and game monitor with their water planes on the Kuskokwim river for (non-open hours) because of how much fish goes through here to be shipped off to else where." I am personally happy each family this year, who are working hard on many fish as they can to save for the winter and to feed their families, because this is the way it is supposed to be years before civilization came. Quyana for reading!

Isn't it rather ominous that water is being diverted, ie sent downstream to the metro area, rather than compromise the old dams that are holding back vast bodies of water?

The increased flow may only exacerbate the flooding problems in the short term, but I wonder at the catastrophic implications of any loss of integrity on these overloaded dams.

These are perilous times. I'm hoping things stop getting worse and start to get better for all the families in distress under the ravages of the storm.


Russiagate was about things far more significant than any potential future role in impeachment.
1. Preventing a diplomatic reset with Russia. Deep State, Israel and other interests have too much invested in the current demonization of Russia to allow it to be set aside.
2. House training Trump. The message was clear, play ball on foreign policy or we can do a Nixon on you and your team. Looks like he got the message.
3. Diversion away the real reasons that the DNC/Clinton campaign lost.

US electoral politics is as fake as a WWF match, the same promoters own and manage both teams. And Trump is the perfect foil for it. Now, "Lets get ready to RRRRRRumble!!!"


Greedy?


and who share electricity generation, transmission, and storage infrastructure in smaller, more decentralized, more autonomous, and community-owned non-profit networks-- which use newer, better, and cheaper micro-grids and nano-grids, and ever-improving capabilities and declining costs of ever-more decentralized small-scale generation and storage techs--to mimimize their vulnerability to the greater risk, inherent in a more traditional centralized grid, of system-wide failure, due to:

acts of nature, or

routine and/or extraordinary technical operational problems, and/or

intentional system-wide disruption (by hackers, terrorists, criminals, and/or hostile foreign government entities)

while also reducing their energy costs as much as possible by eliminating the need to generate a guaranteed profit for HEI shareholders and executives, forever and ever, Amen ;)

Americans, in general, lack curiosity about the planet.  Perhaps our culture is too engrossed in the latest version of Bubblewitch or Angry Birds.  Certainly Facebookers are in a mental fog.


I specifically defined that basic value as so basic, even religious conservatives take it for granted, not something controversial. If it is controversial, it isn't a basic value. Neither Roman Catholics nor fundamentalists believe women should not interact with unrelated men, in public or private space. Men and women have interacted in "church socials", country dances, banquets and dinner parties, the market, etc. for the last 2000 years. No one argues about this, no political parties have fought elections over it or debated it in Parliament, etc.

In order to get to a place where abortion rights can even be argued, we had to have a society in which women were interacting with men in society as a matter of course.

The notion they shouldn't is to prevent any possibility of "illicit sex" happening in the first place.

And although I never claimed we are "swamped", numbers is a different issue.


Absolutely not!  The Canadian dollars value is a powerful lever through which we can encourage economic growth in downturns. Just as has been seen in Europe, the common Euro has impeded many nations ability to adapt to economic downturns. If we had no duties, Canadians could avoid paying HST by purchasing items from the US and it would hurt Canadian business tremendously and Government coffers. If we eliminated borders, guns from the US would easily get into Canada and other criminal issues would abound. In other words, your suggestion would make thinks simpler, simply a disaster for Canada.


In a sense it is a comparison.  The article says "The health care bill Republicans have pushed through the House would leave 23 million additional people uninsured in 2026 compared to President Barack Obama’s health care law".  The word "additional" means it probably is bad.


Regarding the difference between the two it all comes down to your Effective Marginal Tax Rate (EMTR), which is to say your total taxes PLUS clawbacks of government benefits.  This tells you what the NET benefit is of the next dollar of income you earn (or, perhaps in a real-world example, "What would be the net benefit of working this extra shift that would pay $100 before taxes and clawbacks").

If your EMTR is higher today than it will be in retirement, RRSPs tend to be better.  If your EMTR is lower today than in retirement, TFSAs tend to be better.  If your EMTR is the same now and in retirement the tax benefit of an RRSP vs. TFSA is exactly the same, though I prefer TFSAs for their flexibility.

The tricky part of this, of course, is calculating your EMTR.  Taxes are easy but figuring out all government clawbacks now and in the future is not an easy task.

An example of ways in which the Canadian immigration system is vastly superior to the American in attracting HQPs, i.e. highly qualified personnel in the jargon of the Canadian government. Spouses and partners of foreigners hired into permanent positions with work visas also get work visas. (We are not talking about temporary foreign workers here )  In the US this is not the case, and that is clearly a huge burden on many couples. I assume the council knows this and its members explain it to potential hires.
