This is a very public article and no denials came from the Obama administration.    It shows that politics requires each party to demonize the other party, often with no facts.     It's politics that Trump implies President Obama hated America.  It's politics to accuse President Trump of loving all thing Putin/Russia, with no hard proof.

President Trump's situaion is a bit more confused, because he is clearly profiteering in his personal business, using his political position to leverage profits at his properties.   He's also hiding all financial information that might show prejudice in his political decisions that would enrich his private estate.   I don't think President Trump acted treasonously, he did, as he always has, acted in his own self interest without regard to his public responsibilities to all Americans (regardless of wealth).


I was talking about the magazine law.  What does that have to do with the magazine law?

Federal law already covers domestic violence.


“Vigils”, "thoughts and prayers" — all equally useless. Because, tomorrow, or the next day, or the next, some nut will get his/her hands on an AR-15 or AK-74 style rifle or semiautomatic pistol and it will all start again.


I happen to think that we are headed for a civil war, and that it will be caused by Trump and his minions.


NOT! Doan gots enoff intelligence, qualified, skilled workers in large numbers like China does. Pesky unions have caused the jobs to move overseas and across the border. We love the lower prices, Costco, and Walmarts. Shut out China and you'll regret it. The middle class will shrink into lower class because people can't afford the higher prices. Capisce?


For starters, Fr. Stephen Muth.


Getting to the gist of the story, 'THIS GUY IS AN ILLEGAL ALIEN' Period, end of story.  The length of time he lived here illegally, has nothing to do with his illegality.


In the parallel passage about binding on earth and heaven, it is the COMMUNITY that has that authority. While the proposition that Peter's authority to bind is inherited by successive bishops of Rome is open to dispute, the proposition that equivalent authority given to the COMMUNITY is inherited by successive Christian communities through history would appear to be beyond dispute. And the leap from there to the V2 concept of the Church as the Holy People of God as inheritors of this authority does seem a small step, provided of course one understands that Holy People to include everyone, clerics, theologians, lay.


Drumpf is the epitome of untrustworthiness. Go for Chinese free trade and forget this blight.


Not sure of the minimum age to fly without parental consent but pretty sure it's under sixteen. They don't know where she's headed? Um maybe where the plane was going for starters.

Yes, you have indeed got it "all wrong". Finally, some humility and insight. But no, the Holy Spirit has not "been remarkably unsuccessful in communicating" his will. He has communicated it with impeccable brevity and clarity over the millenia. It's just that institutional Catholicism, like insitutional ancient Judasism, refuses to listen fully.


Does it need to be pointed out that conservatives just are not funny.  There are more than enough people who would be willing to watch a late night comedic talk show with a conservative bend to it, but what would such a show look like?  How exactly is is going to be funny, or entertaining?  I can only name one conservative comedian, Dennis Miller, and he is okay but not great.  How exactly is Trump going to have a show that gives equal time to conservatives?  The ones currently out there (Hannity, Rush, etc) are just angry white guys who complain about everything.  But they are not funny, not even terribly entertaining.

What would such a show look like?


whoever wrote this was obviously not here in the late 1980s.. they make it sound like this location was in the boonies. maybe in 1969, not 1989. In 1989 this area just south of dimond center looked virtually the same except a few less lanes and a few less businesses..


CUA's disavowal of Theological College sounds like more cowardice.


"After all libs want complete control of your life." Where do you get this stuff? First off, what is "complete control"? Do you mean who you see, where you go, what you eat, how you poop, who you marry, what you salute, who you pray to, etc. Please tell me what is complete control.


"Border towns quietly mobilizing to help asylum-seekers coming to Canada "

So Plattsburg and Hemmingford are just two towns, for your information. I understand that qualifies the headline's plural reference to towns along the border. But headlines like this suggest that the citizen actions in the two towns highlighted in this article are part of a general trend seen across border towns along vast expanses of the US-Canada border.

Talk about dishonest reporting. The word "Two" in front of "border" would have made for a more correct headline.


Going back to the genesis of this article, I am glad to see that organizations like BIA are not so tone deaf to the atmosphere that this fire caused to continue their celebration.


Fyi... who cares about syria.... and I only read your headline


Why would he do that?  That would be dumb.

$20 TRILLION in debt and yet people still refuse to admit that we have an overspending problem and demand that none of THEIR stuff dare be cut.  (And usually not even cut, just increased at a slow pace.)


Nope.. to roughly quote JT " A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian, no matter how many lies they told on their application papers and no matter how loyal they are to the Taliban and Al Qaeda. "


Who is saying mass murder is okay? Even the proponents of the Democrat proposals, much less professionals in the field, don't claim they could or would stop any mass murders. Yet, admitting that, they are willing to throw due process out the window. So much for civil rights.

You assume your premise that gun control works to reduce overall crime or homicide rates, that happens to be false. Further there is zero evidence it can work in the US. We have 40 years of research that suggests otherwise.


I don't know why people find this so threatening.  I could see the school offering undergraduate programs that prepare natives to be land managers, mayors of small communities, health aides (including some dentistry,) prepare for law school, business degrees  and much more.  If successful, it will provide a community where leaders are developed.  I don't see non-natives shut out of anything up here. Natives, thru their corporations, tribes and social service entities are the biggest employers in the state.  Many, many, many non-Natives work for native businesses and organizations.  I assume the college would serve non-natives too.  It would be a big plus for Anchorage and for Alaska as a whole.


My kids have had "check your facts, check your sources" drilled into their heads.  I'm pleased to say that even when the false news confirms their opinions, if it proves false, they call it out.  We need to teach this to our kids from kindergarten on, especially in this internet age. Should be mandatory in every school in America.  Although I do wonder if the younger generations that have grown up with online access are just generally more savvy than their elders since they've been inundated with bogus information from the time they first logged on.

Senator Ruderman and Graham Ellis have been friends for over 30 years, and Mr. Ellis stumped in lower Puna for his friend, aiding in his election. Moreover, Mr. Ellis himself wrote the first bill (SB 2274) that Senator Ruderman ever ran up.  Mr. Ellis publicly admitted his authorship of the bill SB2274. This seems concerning since Mr. Ellis is an illegal alien and Sen. Ruderman knew it. Do you know that SB 2274 would have made Mr. Ellis’ non-compliant activities in Seaview legal? The bill was labelled as a green initiative, but it was limited to offering specific benefits to Ellis’ organization. While it originally failed, earlier this year Mr. Ellis appeared before the council to testify for an unchanged version of that same bill! When I use the word “hubris,” I mean it.


The writer's gloating suggests an ego at least as large as O'Reilly's.  I don't know whether the man did what was alleged but it is clear that in the court of public opinion he has been judged and found guilty. The allegations have not been tested in a court of the US Justice (?) system. The writer's other charges against o"Reilly are far over the top and reveal his own biases. I suspect he was weeping as the news of November 8 rolled in. Tough.

Thank you Professor Malone.


As usual, Margaret Wente hits the mark. It is refreshing to see that at least one journalist refuses to drink from the poisoned chalice of political correctness.


Excellent method to build modern safer highways.  Should be a first consideration.  Prolific numbers of these toll highways in Europe particularly if the project is costly and in difficult topography, areas of low density population.  It's that, or fall behind to third world infrastructure.  Try driving the highways/roadways of Mexico for comparison.


Trump L'Oeil: The Trials of a Two Dimensional Man in a Three Dimensional World


If Khadr's name was Patrick Fitzpatrck and he was accused of killing for the IRA, none of this would be happening. Let's be clear that bigotry - much of it carefully nurtured by the Conservative Party - has a lot to do with the public reaction to this situation. Trudeau did the right thing. The conduct of the Harper govt in the Khadr case violated Canadian law and Canada's commitments under international treaties. Harper was fine with ignoring the law. Trudeau knew that Khadr would easily win his case in court. He knew that the conduct of the Canadian govt was shameful. He saved us all a pointless, losing and immoral court case. I applaud a political leader who does the right thing even if it is unpopular. Leaders need to be more than followers.


So you don't attend Aces games is what you're saying?


That's the tax bill for only the Nkaaaaandhlaaa firepoool 'n all. He thought he would score. In the end he has a tax liability as if the money was paid to him directly and not in the scheme he employed. I bet you, if he knew it won't work, he would have tried to get the benefits in some more creative ways. But his downfall is his arrogance. His arrogance is his Achilles heel. Those opposed to him and his band of thieves and accomplices, should exploit that a little more to get the giant to fall.


I didn't say I was voting for any of them.  I'm certain that in November I will definitely vote Against one of them, however.

"Lesser of two weevils" is always in play for me.


As an afterthought you might be interested in looking into just how many militias currently exist. The Southern Poverty Law Center identified 334 militia groups at their peak in 2011. It identified 276 in 2015, up from 202 in 2014. Not to make you paranoid, or more paranoid than need be. Most, if not all of them are good people and nobody needs to know who they are or where.


Foolish and unnecessary.  All genius had to do was decriminalize, not legalize.  the difference is enormous.  But that would mean giving up the opportunity to tax weed and profit from the misery it will bring to families.  Just wait.  Watch the next generation of whacked out kids unable to compete in the workforce.  Heck even now, with our well paid and protected education professionals in Ontario, 1/2 our kids can't count !!  Soon they won't be able to think.

Are you sure that is you, Al?  NOW you are supporting choice?


Yes, I see the reign of God in "becoming one flesh."  And I read your article where you speak eloquently about the effects upon children of parents who have been excluded and deprived of hope because of the indissolubility of marriage.

In your article you say that such parents who humbly approach the Eucharist should not be denied communion, but that only God can discern and provide mercy.  You reason that this preserves God's law, by which you mean the indissolubility of marriage.

I agree with your conclusion that divorced and married who humbly approach the Eucharist  should not be denied communion.  But I would not go so far as to enshrine indissolubility, comprehensively interpreted to cover those whose marriages fail for whatever reason, as God's will.  Granted, the church has taken indissolubility as God's law.  I think that is a mistake, even an idolatry.  It is better to hope for indissolubility.

For my view on "let no man tear asunder" see my response, below, to EFC1127A.


Under NY law this would qualify as a misdemeanor of sexual abuse. However, 30 years places it well beyond the statute of limitations. No sexual acts took place according to Rapp and he left. Rapp acknowledges he's been told be a lawyer he has no case worth pursuing.


Trump was 'talking Hollywood talk' while in Hollywood and describing some very sad Hollywood realities with Billy Bush. Trump  has since apologized for that comment   at one of  last years  debates.  I heard him.  That's good enough for me. Bad comments don't make the whole person bad.  In the past that used to be  called "throwing the baby out with the bathwater"   In Trump, I see as good a man as anyone can be in this world, who is flawed, but his deeds have shown where his heart is. That's why I continue to support him.  Like King David in ancient Israel, he'll never be able to build any temples, but he still remained a "man after God's own heart".


In the Vatican,  such consideration can take hundreds of years.


They also have the art of packaging down pat. ;-)


Republicans recruited the racists that compose the GOP base. They finally have their leader to follow. Their greatest achievement in life is managing to be born white. They are angry about losing the white privilege they claim does not exist. They think they are victims. They are just victims of their choices in life. No one is forcing them to live in coal country. No one is forcing them to be high school drop outs or having children out of wed lock. No one is forcing their relatives to become drug addicts. No one is forcing them to live in depressed rural areas. They are the only demographic dying younger. They are killing themselves with their behaviors. I would pity them if they weren't armed and think killing minorities will solve their problems. They are more likely to use their guns in a murder suicide of their loved ones, than stopping a mass shooter in a mall. Being ignorant is not a good plan for success in the 21st century.


The only problem with your assertion is that your "leader" is anything but.  He's a skirmisher who's  good at anarchistic disruption of established rules and conventions, but he's absolutely incapable of leading anything.  His single successful accomplishment, the Supreme Court appointment, was as much the work of Congress as of the president, and in any event was much less radical than Trump promised.  Right now, he's pretty well irrelevant as far as implementing any coherent agenda.


S:  For "some people", yes.  For most people - no.  Higher education to include the trades pay better than lower or no education, period.


No, we're the community deciding how we want our own community to be and work and look.


Note to your editor. I have been a G&M subscriber for 40 years. I don't know who is responsible for determining "civility" but I think you have gone too far. It seems that you simply  dismiss remarks that you don't like. Not impressed.


Look at it this way. How much do we subsidize medical care for those affected by emissions? (Hint: a lot.)


Records: trillions in the stock market, GDP, lowest Jobless, Lowest foodstamps, NFL standing, Obama & Hill wire tap, Uranium One, eMail Server, ObamaCare Repair, and we just caught more DACA kids smuggling illegals, and a supreme court judge, Repaired global warming cost, hillaryGate. Trump for 3 terms!


Layla: And they do.....regularly.

Answer this:  Why do you think this decision to allow more intervenors is a bad thing to have done?  You apparently think it was, and I'm curious to know why.

I see a judge who felt that he could improve on his early decision about which intervenors to include, and that this would make the court process as fair and complete as it should be given what the case is about.

when marginal tax rates exceed 50% (as they do now at the highest bracket), it ceases to be taxation and becomes theft. how can half of your income not represent one's 'fair share'?


Let us consider that the victim was so intoxicated as to be unable to defend herself.  Cigarette smoking was once a social custom that killed millions.  We learned and stopped allowing ourselves to be bought by big tobacco.  Alaska bleeds with alcohol related crime.


My sonhas ADHD and dyspraxia. Do you have a professional helping your son with his issues? If you do engage that person as an ally. Also the school can be helpful. Get your son an IEP and encourage your husband to go to the meetings.  He could learn something from your discussions with the educators.  Also, tell him if he wants your son to grow up calm and rational he needs to model that for him. ADHD is tough on self esteem. Yelling and belittling him will only make that worse.  Create tools to help him with organization and engage your husband with the effort.  It will be better for your child. Consider that parents often have the same tendencies as their kids.  Learning about it could help you both manage life better too.  Good luck and God speed.


Obviously not, Richard.


Delray you should be thinking, a giant glass tank from "Sea World"; the "cookie jar" might be too small for all the dipping hands.


Possibly, but if witness ID suspect  with dreads hair style, nitrates on his hands,  if his clothes were recovered at residence and contains nitrates, his violent history, and he no alibi, then he is a strong suspect . Lets see who his attorney will be. His friend already admitted that he did the assault a week before shooting. He told media that he made him cut his hair after being arrested for assault to teach him a lesson OR was the hair cut immediately after shooting.... wonder if PD is in possession of hair.


Just what has trump been successful at besides pulling the wool over so many eyes? He walks away from contracts. Half the time no one is paid. If he's a billionaire like he says, why isn't he showing us all his taxes? He said he would at the beginning of the year but now, nope. He takes no responsibility for his words. He denies saying them even though there is video with him saying exactly what he denies. If progressives liked lies, like you said, they would be worshipping at the feet of trump.


Never heard of her doing anything so she won't be missed.  You would think with all the corruption going on here she would have been in the news.

Thank you for your thoughtful article.


Most of what I've seen in OCP's publications is not what I would call .... Music fit for a King.  Exactly who are we trying to please here, yourselves  or the Lord. Garbage, Garbage, Garbage.
No wonder Catholics can't  or won't sing.


''Ontario to table first balanced budget since the recession on April 27 ''
Wynne hasn't sold the table yet???


It was easy to see that he was talking to his dad. He was at home by all accounts. Of course he wants his dad to do something. He is in the Cook Inlet Pretrial... he is desperate. They are hardened criminals inside the CIPT. He is amongst the worst of the worst. His life is in danger. If he is innocent then he is in real danger. He has a broken arm? This may mean he is also in pain and in jail that is no joke. They don't let you enjoy pain pills in prison.. trust me.


OK, now both the Senate and the House need to arrive at a compromise.  I'd suggest at this point that the governor do what he does best, which is keeping out of the issue.  His lame attempt at a "compromise" budget was anything but a compromise between the differences for the two legislative chambers.


Mr. Lopez, so, Trump cutting NOAA's budget by 16% has nothing to do with funding?


Unless there were items of value, I can't imagine wanting them back.  Would seem like torture.


Trump has been actively trying NOT to win the election since he won the nomination.  He simply does not want the job in reality.  He never did.  This is a very effective reality TV stunt designed to increase the fame of a TV celebrity who probably is in financial trouble.  It wouldn't surprise me if Hillary and the Dems are involved in this presentation.


Who else is not hearing the slightest criticism? I could list a number of ethnic and political groups.


Not that much snow here this winter.

Besides, I actually know how to use a shovel without having to call in the army for help.


I don't think anyone is mocking the choice to live in villages. We just don't want to hear the whining about not having the amenities of the big city. I would love to return to my hometown of Haines someday, but as I get older I realize I never will. Don't want to be that far from emergency healthcare if I need it. As a young person I lived on a homestead with no running water or electricity or plumbing. Sure never expected anyone to provide those luxuries for me!!! It's about choices. If I had to go live in a village now I'd save up my money and get myself an incinerating toilet. No outhouse for me. And I wouldn't expect someone else to provide it for me. CHOICES. By he way, please quit mocking my city by calling it "Los Anchorage."


My comment was removed. Apparently you cannot use the non politically correct term aboriginal. I will try again. You could overlay similar statistics on the number of aboriginals in prison or the number of missing or murdered aboriginals. The aboriginal leadership has a serious problem on their hands that they need to address.


Basic economics has long proven that coal is not coming back. Natural Gas which is far cleaner will continue to take the place of coal.  Trump knows this, he is simply fulfilling an election promise and feeding red meat to his base.

Solar and wind will continue to increase market share, if there is a business case it will be developed. That is the strength of the Americans.

Competing with the slave labor rates in China will be no more or less difficult than it was before Trump pulled out of the Paris Accord.


Wait until they start doing body cavity searches and then  open your food bags.


What BS. Why? You're like all Trumpettes: Expecting everything to be spoon fed to you. If you have a question about the veracity of statements in an article, do some research.

Hitler may have repented - I personally am a big believer of "deathbed" conversions, the end of life is designed to be humbling. As far as judging we are to make judgments with a righteous perspective.

The only politico in PR that appears upset it the DEMOCRAT Mayor of San Juan.  From the pictures showing her at news casts she looks like she is going to the opera and not participating in rescue or relief efforts.


Cory is a rubber stamp. Lap log loser in 2020


Agree.  Homelessness is visibly worse/more prevalent.  Just because an ultra-liberal mayor in the office, does not make it right to lie about the situation.  Reminds me of Mystrom, who's solution to every problem in Anchorage was to plant more flowers and rename Parks and Rec to Parks and Beautification.  PFD's have been cut, money to the bush has been cut, the economy has the brakes on, less jobs ... this winter will see a new record of homeless people looking for shelter or dying from hypothermia.


This is just another example of the City's dysfunction. They spent thousands of dollars on "bulb outs , that the area business and community did not request , instead of just doing the basic maintenance and sanitation of parks and streets , the simple stuff. As for Caldwell's promises , "On time , On budget." was one of his utterances.


More top down, and side to side, policy confusion.
Imagine being an ANC branch in Parys trying to make sense of these "proposals".


It sounds like Archbishop Chaput holds a sectarian, Novatianist ecclesiology.  He wants a church of only the pure, the catharoi.  What if all the folks he wants to throw out were necessary for his salvation?


It will be interesting to see if the next reassignment of seats in Parliament reflects the ongoing movement of people from rural to urban areas. Big cities have been under-represented for many years, and rural areas over-represented. It's time to recognize that Canada is an urban nation, and to start investing in the urban infrastructure that will make Canada more competitive and efficient.


Not a racist?  He tried to discredit President Obama by saying he was not born in the USA.  Called Mexicans murderers and rapist but some are good people, didn't reject support from David Duke and claim he didn't know Duke.  And yes, David Duck is a republican and supports trump.


Glad he got the prize but, as he's a man, I don't doubt it completely flew over his head that he was getting the silent treatment.


You're right.  EVery single article trashing Trudeau in post media and even at the G&M is pure and balanced and accurate and worthy of an article.

But obviously not ones that are critical of the Bostonian

Right...


LeDoux's district are really going to love her when Anchorage adds the muni's tax on top of the state tax!


you forgot the middle class.
forever RUMP.


This explains exactly why Trump got elected.  We are sick of being used as a piggybank for the rich and the undeserving.


And you brag about this...why??


Your remark, sir, is juvenile and inane.


...and the powerful road block which keeps birth control from proliferating in somalian society  is religion.  contraception is bad is pious circles.  it keeps the flock count down if promoted.  so keep the faith but find another way to solve your starving problems according to the holy "C".


Ummmm, the NDP isn't in power.


Kenney does not need the help, Notley has sealed her own fate many moons ago.  Time for her to dust off her resume as she will be out of work soon


International assistance should not be directed toward 1/2 of the population needing assistance.  Whatever happened to treating all people equally?

Justin certainly knows who will support him in the next election.  If he gets 80% of the woman vote and 80% of the immigrant vote he doesn't need to worry about men at all.


Bernie also split the Democrats and they are also suffering from similar issues.  But they also don't have an agent of chaos (Trump) actively sewing dischord and disruption.  Bernie towed the party line when the time came (although many of his supporters didn't).


Mr. Pahs: "People" aren't choosing which laws to follow, the local authorities are choosing which enforcement actions to prioritize.

The police cannot enforce all the laws. They don't have the resources, so they must decide which ones are the most important to enforce and which ones are less so. If a police officer is trying to stop someone who just sped through a school zone, they aren't going to stop mid-chase and ticket someone for littering. Given that immigrants, whether documented or not, have much lower crime rates than US citizens it makes sense to not focus on them.


Religious liberty - in American law - certainly allows allow people to express their opposition to certain groups by withholding their services, banning them, or labeling them. The government, however, cannot perform these acts.

One cannot bring an action against someone for speaking out against certain groups unless that someone advocates some other illegal act such as assault, in which case the offense is advocating an illegal act.

Some of our Anglophone cousins in the Commonwealth go further because they lack a First Amendment and/or presume to be able to regulate religious beliefs and speech.

Oddly the very ground for Obergefell v. Hodges, privacy, is the primary basis for the freedom of association that underpins the American view of religious liberty.

Here is another enlightening case.  A worker who was injured was not rehired by a restaurant. The Admin Law Judge recommended that the Commission award her $101,000 in damages.


Capitalism. What role does capitalism play in the slaughter of 100 million plus Natives in this country, so illegal European aliens could steal their lands and resources? What role does capitalism play in America spending $trillions of dollars so a few pasty faced balding old men can have blood money profits off the backs of Natives?
As a Native I see this Forever War on Terrorism as self created by America for the profits of a few. We spend Trillions to invade and occupy countries, we spend the lives of thousands of our kids in foreign lands being security guards for the international oil companies, and then the terrorist attacks  come on as a result of American actions.
Think I'm a liar... Type What Role Does the CIA Play in Creating Terrorism? Maybe do a one more and type "Study links low intelligence and low IQ to conservatism and prejudice". It explains the mindset of white America.


Surprised Cassandra from Ottawa and the rest of the Trudeau groupies/party hacks aren't here telling us this is part of continuing witch hunt by the G&M, all the while squealing like teens at a One Direction show about how honest & refreshing Trudeau is.


Murkowski knows that if TV cameras followed Senators around then everyone would realize awful they are at heir job. She is therefor truly appauled by any trend that leads to more visibility into how government employees spend their time....


JT is PM, get over that. We got over Harper and Lyin Brian being PM. This too, in time, shall pass.


Hillary did win. The polls were accurate. Two million more people voted for her than voted for her opponent. He is only president because of an archaic Electoral College system that doesn't properly reflect the population.


I'm right 98% of the time. I don't worry about the other 3%.


You and I both know that dental fluorosis affects the low-income and non-white populations at twice the rate as the white population, so when a privileged person sees a lot of stained teeth in poor communities or among the First Nations or Black populations, they dismiss it on poor hygiene or other excuses, but they are wrong. It's the result of poisoning during early childhood by fluoride in tap water. Plus this is the leading indicator, adolescents. Additionally, those who can afford it will get veneers or crowns to disguise the damage on those teeth that show when they smile.

Trump won the election due to the fact that people were fed up with the Clinton
crowd and passed on her. Brings us back to the saying " better a Devil you know

We have already seen what happens when police get involved. Not good.


I predict BC will take it into the ditch just like Alberta did.


"Here, however, is another question and it isn't rhetorical at all: Why do we as an electorate let them get away with this? Why do they pay no price at the ballot box? Why do we do nothing?". Yes, do something, but not something that just appeals to the emotions but something that actually works. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/i-used-to-think-gun-control-was-the-answer-my-research-told-me-otherwise/2017/10/03/d33edca6-a851-11e7-92d1-58c702d2d975_story.html?utm_term=.44f56c7225f5


The gospels portray Jesus as encountering the Syro-Phoenician woman and the woman at the well of Samaria In both cases he is portrayed as showing discrimination.

We should open our homes and hearts to others because it's consistent with our Christian and American values, and stop trying to remake Jesus in our image.


We'd be a lot better off if most of human life dropped dead tomorrow.


Slow drivers in the left lane get people killed all the time. The self-righteous attitude of I "have a right to drive the speed limit in any lane I want" are selfish, self-centered idiots and can be ticketed for impeding traffic.

Nothing has changed.  Obamacare (ACA) is still fully in effect.  The House has proposed reform to the existing healthcare plan not "repeal and replace".  Furthermore the proposed reforms have not passed the Senate.  So pull your heads back, nothing has changed!  Hopefully a plan that will provide better healthcare for all will emerge.  That is what we want, right?  Regardless of who proposes it, right?


Totally wth it.


I strongly suspect that great teaching to administration might be following philosophies of some educrat. Great teaching to students means being interesting, clear, and fair. And also returning marking in a reasonable amount of time.


Nice piece. Strikes me as the right way to go.


They will bump up the prices... in the end consumers are going to pay. So one way or the other american people are going to pay for it.


Nazi sympathizers are emboldened by having Trump as POTUS.


Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes and eventually, yes. Cultural Cleansing is a process, so there's also schools, airports, hospitals, streets, lakes, hills, valleys, gullies, gulches, passes, mountains, rivers, streams, creeks,etc.


OMG...now that is the typical lib response, isn't it?  Comparing catching an extra fish to violating the sovereignty of a country...

I worked in China for eight years, I have literally thousands of Chinese friends, great people and most of whom would love to come to the US and live.  Ya OK if I open the back door to all these folks? You know there are only 1.4 billion of them. If not, why not? Using your inane rationale we should just turn our backs to the laws of our republic and allow every one, with their families, to move on it.

You may not appreciate the gift of living in the greatest nation God created and understand that you won the jackpot by that...but, the vast majority of us do.  We can only continue our existence as such if we don't kill the golden goose. That goose is only so big.

As for compassion, I see more of it from my conservative friends in action not the words that libs love to spout.  No comparison.  Libs are all about telling others what they must do...


Give ol Donnie Teabags some credit. He hasn't even been at it nine months. Even so, he's already managed to inflame white supremacists into murdering Heather Heyer and maiming numerous other peaceful protesters. All pretty impressive if you consider that, unlike KJU, DJ Butt Trumpet is not supreme dictator of an entire nation and - at least for now - he has to opperate around those other weak, low-energy branches government and their looser statutes against homocide. Point being, our comb-over-in-chief is an amazing super-classy guy who is tremendously creative and super-high energy and always wins at all things. He won't let a baffoon like Kimmy JJ outdo him at anything, especially the murdering of people he dislikes. Stop being such a touchy snowflake and give Trump a chance, he'll top Kim in good time!


yes it is...starting with believing is biased towards believing...the investigator then has to work against their bias to reach neutral or an opposite position based on the gathering of evidence...starting with not discounting is neutral...the investigator has no starting bias to colour their view...they then merely allow all the evidence to shift them away from neutral towards believing one side or the other


ItsMe - When you say "have noticed" you're voicing your opinion with which some may agree and others may disagree. I have no problem with ADNs "leftist" bias - any more that I have a problem with Fox News "rightist" bias. Both organizations enjoy the protections of the First (and greatest) Amendment. My problem is with the nature of discourse in (so-called) Social Media in general. I've spent decades working with older forms (such as distributed email lists) in which participants actually found and focused on shared purpose and got stuff done. Like creating much of the Internet that you now use. And I've seen how mature people manage conflict. This "vast wasteland" includes many people who are wasting their time.


Mr Pipeline says; keep buying utilities.

Meanwhile BCE keeps dropping....down 42 cents on a good (market) day...
To me this is a bad omen....like a black cat, or something.


The Globe should be ashamed of itself for publishing such a one sided obviously bias story without listing all the facts, but pushes their agenda. This story makes no sense, and if it were true the Crown has recourse against the judge and would be pursuing it. I want the news not some swayed version of it. It is a shame that a paper that use to be so trusted has become so bias, and it shows. The Globe is now not much different than the National Enquirer, but at least the Enquirer knew what it was all about.

And as for blocking comments that the Globe does not like, but are respectful, please cancel my paper subscription, I will read the and pay for the Post.


First Blair/Bush.  Now May/Trump. British lapdogs coming to be patted on the head. Good boy,  good girl.


Foreign investors are ignoring Calgary and Montreal because, unlike politically correct Vancouver and Toronto, Albertans and Quebecers would quickly show them how unwelcome they are; if faced with the potential disaster that was allowed to happen in Vancouver and Toronto, politicians in Alberta and Quebec would most likely react with policies that don't harm their citizens.

The general public doesn't benefit from foreigners parking their cash in Canadian residential real estate, and the Christy Clark,  Harper and Trudeau governments should have reacted to that danger long ago.


Everything's relative. My grandmother's family burned furniture to stay warm during the Depression; she considered the neighbour children rich enough to afford going to high school to be spoiled rotten.  I met someone who won the 6/49 who complained about wealthy Hong Kong investors buying up the property in her neighbourhood.


I agree: but it won't happen until or unless the Republicans begin feeling, or fearing, repercussions at the ballot box. We need leaders who can rise above strictly political concerns in favor of the country. McConnell and Ryan are cowards; they've forfeited any claim to integrity, still less to courage. McCain has waxed and waned, but the trajectory of his career has always leaned toward integrity and courage; we need that from him now more than ever. Romney spoke the truth about Trump during the campaign, and then groveled to him in hope of becoming Secretary of State. He'd have been a good one, and I even believe that it was the desire to serve honorably that caused him to grovel to Trump. It was, however, a horrendous mistake. Trump neutralized him, neutered him, emasculated him -- invited him to dinner and served him his own testicles. I don't think Romney has a credible voice now; I'm not sure he ever will again.
Yes, I think the impeachment apparatus is being cranked up.


Another Craigslist hookup.  Wow.  Amazing what people will do to get a little attention.


In 1954, US SCOTUS case Brown v. Board of Topeka KS overruled "separate but equal" from Plessy v. Ferguson. The Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964, Voting Rights in 1965, and Fair Housing Act in 1968. The Vocational Rehabilitation Act was passed in 1973. Women's Suffrage in the U.S. was 1920. It was 2015 in Saudi Arabia. Just to note.


It all comes back to Trudeau.  He promised change to so many, yet he has either failed or knowingly sold a package of lies.  Whether you liked Harper or not, at least his position was clear.

It's high time to get rid of him.


Nvidia???
Nvidia has built "the operating system of AI" and have spent 10 years creating a powerful toolbox for people that want to put AI to work right away.
Analysts that have done real studies on AI say that Nvidia's competitors operate on the fringes and will require 10 to 15 years to catch up.
MIT has just vote Nvidia "the smartest company in the world".
Wishful thinking is what leads to so many stories like this to pretend that there is competition. Makes for a better story.
Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Netflix, and Google all highlight that, in high-tech, it is "winner takes all".
This is why Nvidia's share price keeps going up in surges.
Best return in the market last year and an unbelievable earnings report in August.
The new, 12 times faster,  GPU card should get a double boost in sales this quarter due to postponed purchases.


As I have repeated many times in many ways over many years, the State DOT launched a "tele-commuting" pilot project more than 30 years ago, and believe the first telework site was located at the Mililani Tech Park.  I have since made modest, but not exhaustive, attempts to find out what the results of the project were, and if at least an analysis and findings were published.  But it may not matter in the sense that formal tele-commuting did not expand as a government-supported effort.

My point it this: I think almost everyone would agree that at least most desk jobs in urban Honolulu could have been performed from suburban work sites and/or employees' homes as long as 30 years ago, and even more types of current and future "work" could be done without the time, expense, and aggravation of a daily commute to and from town--along with all of the other lemmings who continue to subject themselves to the same daily ritual of self-abuse.--con't below


Her ministry also purchased a number of very high end electric and hybrid vehicles to drive around Ottawa as a signal of how green they are.

Teslas, Porches and a Mercedes if memory is correct.  Maybe a Prius or two as well.....


By the time they would even hypothetically break ground on these things, self driving cars, busses, and trucks are going to be in full effect. 19th century solution to a 21st century problem.

Listen, I've ridden the trains in Europe and Japan, and they really are special. But it's just not where the US is going. Good news: Private industry is hard at work on a solution!


Now, that's a high-calibre pun.


Before we talk about Donald Trump as an example of political transformation, we should consider his absolute failure legislatively. Trump failed to produce a new US health care plan because his proposals were rejected by an overwhelming majority of Americans. Trump is a populist without a population. His election margin was narrow and was simply the result of chance. he would not be re-elected today. Republican senators have learned that they have little to fear in crossing Trump


The rural roads program is providing that.

Let's discuss China. They have 20,000 kms of high speed rail. Canada has 0 kms of high speed rail, India has started work on building a  500 km high speed rail line.

What do you say to that?


Enough with the childish name calling. Are you seven years old?


How about crooked Hillary and her Husband Bill, URANIUM 1  deal, which also included Obama, Mueller (the former head of the FBI, about collusion with Russia.  This was before Trump had them on his team and two years earlier than when he actually ran for President and won.  Also Loretta Lynch, Susan Rice, Eric Holder, Podesta, Wasserman Schultz, Belize and Jarrett.  Did I miss anyone?????  Tony Podesta reisigned fromhis own company today???  Ring a bell with you Chimborazo??


nope, the divider in chief has a monopoly on that, easily...


“$1.4-billion to B.C. over the next decade for home care and mental-health programs... a new five-year, $65-million federal program to respond to the ongoing opioid crisis.”

What a smart and efficient way to disburse taxpayers' money. Productive Canadians don't even have access to a primary care physician and have to crowd ERs (the most expensive way to dispense medicine) to get much needed diagnosis ad care.

That's what free stuff gives you: a ticket on a waitlist to nowhere. The probability to experience a health glitch in life is very high. Don't count on your country or province to be there for you if the glitch is severe. You will be left to fend for yourself and if you don't have the financial resources to get care in the US, you'll end up dead on the street... I guess next to the addicted folks who will get care instead of you.

Bravo Mr Lake and Dr Philpott (Dr? Really? She has a PhD?). What an amazing way to get the healthcare priorities inorder.


I agree with you. Bernard Lonergan wrote that Geniune Religion is Love. In parishes that stress Church Teaching focused on rules and doctrine that fosters judgment and dualism, I can understand the stimulus to flee. Meanwhile, parishes that focus on the teachings of Jesus, involving inclusion, caring, sharing, service, and forgiveness are attractive and inviting, and nurture spiritual growth to change and support our lives.
Buddhism has also discovered Love as the key to Enlightenment.


Can't begin to count the number of times reciting the "multipication" tables backwards has gotten me out of a jam.

Good


That and she was after a selfie and a free Come From Away program from Justino.


Tbss;

Maybe Trump should move to Venezuela. Or Russia. Or anywhere but here.


Well it is good that they are speaking.  I just hope the Donald doesn't try to shove his weight around.  Suspect it would backfire almost immediately.


Maybe they don't expect to become millionaires as in the US?

But as you mentioned, there is also the matter of culture, i.e. is there a large proportion of readers, are writers respected, influential, etc.?

Intellectual life is more important in Europe than in the US. Or at least, it was...now even in France its importance seems to be declining.


Exactly! Progressives should be very happy with a Carson appointment, because I don't think he has the knowledge or personality to undo in four years the damage that has been done by the neo-Marxists. It will take him that long just to get up to speed. He's much too nice a person for the job that needs to be done.


So FUBAR ~ !

There's no Brady without Belicheat. Thats one hell of a football mind. It'll be interesting to see what happens to the Pats when Brady retires in like 5 more years. His QB picks have gone on to do jack, Jimmy is up next for review.


I have no idea what you are talking about. I doubt that anybody has any statistics on the breakdown of that crowd of 500,000 people. I believe that there was going to be a a march here too but it's too much to expect the Globe to report on that.


How many times have you posted this or similar comments? Dozens? It was wrong the first time and reposting it multiple times won't magically make it true.

The U.S. is claiming a significant carbon sink due to large areas of the northeast and southeast U.S. regrowing forests that were clearcut or cleared by burning from the mid-1800s to the mid 1900s. Pennsylvania, for example, was almost completely stripped of trees in the 19th century; it is now heavily wooded and its second-growth forests are still not mature.

A similar situation does *not* apply to Canada. The technical term for this process is 'afforestation'. I make no assumption you'll bother to look it up and educate yourself.


How does "Ferchrisakes...let it go" not meet civility standards?


Running away from London?

What are you prattling on about?

The population of London doubled about every 50 years from 1600 to 1900, and that was in spite of an occasional plague here and there.

Hardly a city victimized by people fleeing, as you pretend.

And by the way, during the period you name, it was the Dutch, the Irish and the Germans who emigrated to New York in numbers hundreds of times higher than folks from London.

Do you enjoy typing ignorant prattle? Are you kind of like Donald Trump, you make up alternate facts as you go along?


Build it in Manoa next to Mayor Caldwell's house and run the rail to there.  Be ready in 2025 you hope!


OK Tim, then Coupeville will NOT be making money from the Navy.  Are you happy now?  I'm sad.

OK Tim, when Coupeville businesses fail, will you be happy?  I'll be sad for Coupeville and mad at ME I failed to communicate.

OK Tim, if this was about noise abatement, then why ZERO concern from so many who protest the Growlers and OLF for the SAILORS getting the jet noise daily in the course of their duties?


Mr. Abbott,

I'm not going to engage in name-calling as you apparently wish. I am simply going to say that I am witnessing the opponents of WO making themselves an embarrassment to the work of God by the scriptural futility of their arguments, by drawing unfavorable publicity to God's church and by making it harder for the spiritually weak to learn how to apply spiritual principles in their lives. You and others like you are driving people out of the church whom I have worked hard to bring into the church. So I wish that you would value the salvation of people whom you have never met above your own ego and stop your endless arguing because, while you think you are defending God, by arguing endlessly about a minor and transitory issue you are in fact doing the work of Satan. You cannot convince me otherwise because I am seeing the results.


I did.


You might ....but I wouldn't.


Only a "brain damaged" person would go to North Korea and try to steal a propaganda banner.


Trump's negotiation over NAFTA changes will be a disaster. Its just started and I look with interest at this business world which still believes that this man can effect positive change. Just watch lemmings because the Donald will blow up in your face.......Canada needs to repel as much as possible this dismantling disease. Bad pre-1930's recycled protectionist ideas will lead your business down the sewer........this is like revisiting a time when even Hitler had popularity......indeed, pre-1930's.....and yes there was a stock market crash in 1929.... enjoy!

"Bishop Paprocki is only upholding the teaching of his Church...", and (as someone stated here just a few days ago), he and his ilk should do more of it so as to continue the slow-but-steady demise of imperial-styled Catholicism (a/k/a triumphalism).

Shameful! OHA does nothing but infighting! Sad that so many native Hawaiians are  living beneath the poverty level,on the beach,and homeless, whilst these board members receive salaries to do nothing but acuse each other and money grub. They are disgusting and full of crap! Let's be honest and call OHA what it really is OHG..Office of Hawaiian Greed.


The candidate which receives a majority of the Electoral votes (270) is to be the next President of the United States. Nothing more, nothing less.

The REAL problem is all the High End $$$$$$$$$$ luxury condos/houses they are letting be built!
Now we have lost Ward Warehouse, the old International Market Place, and other affordable shopping & living areas to the upscale, outrageously priced stuff that is taking away all the good, affordable housing here on Oahu, and all of Hawaii!
Seriously, WHO among the local, working class can afford a condo for $700,000 plus!
Rent prices are through the roof, and not very many are available! (Thanks Air B&B and others!)

And then the City wonders about what to do with all the homeless people that are living on sidewalks everywhere??? Is anybody Home in the Government????

Government IS THE CAUSE of the homeless!
 Demand they make companies build some REALLY AFFORDABLE housing instead of the multi-million dollar units!

They should let the homeless pitch tents at Honolulu Hale and the Capitol Building, and all the other rich, upscale neighborhoods!!!


so is Muellar the magnificent paying attention? DUHHHHHH

“My idea of a perfect government is one guy who sits in a small room at a desk, and the only thing he’s allowed to decide is who to nuke.

I'm sure if it was a Dem in the white house you'd feel the same way right? Doubtful.
Face it...Comey didn't kill the investigation so Trump fired him afraid of what it might uncover. He said he was going to be presidential, unfortunately he meant like Nixon's second term.


"Finally can I put in a word here for a return to actual journalism and reporting on issues nationally and internationally that are of interest and concern to Canadians."

There are links to  at least 30 'non-Trump' news articles on the main page you could be reading, not counting financial, sports, entertainment, etc. And yet here you are.


Murkowski, Sullivan, and Young are not leaders. They are chickens, too fearful of losing their jobs to uphold basic American decency.


That seemingly came out of nowhere.


Accusing  those who question Muslim immigration of racism and shutting down debate will just inflame the situation and make people more fanatical.
If they can't reason with others many will stop being reasonable.


Sure wish you'd tackle that issue of the Star-Advertiser airbrushing the "finger" photo. That's editorial distortion!


In August 2014, the Globe published a very good editorial titled; "Are Native Leaders Ready to be part of the solution?" Apparently they're still not ready.

"We should be repulsed by the conditions on many reserves, and equally appalled by the evidence of rampant child neglect and abuse that has been documented in many of these communities for years. But simply throwing money at the problem will not work.

If political leaders in Canada truly want to deal with the issue of missing and murdered aboriginal women, it will be a painful process involving lots of hard questions. Sacred cows will need to be smashed. And nothing substantial will come unless the native leadership are full partners in the process, with all the accountability that comes with that. They may want to think about whether they want that level of responsibility."

Well, if clarity is your goal, I think it is only right that you acknowledge Trump has been crystal clear in his desire to focus upon "Christian" refugees, from the Middle East.  It would require some serious mental gymnastics to conclude that his actions are not focused upon Muslims.


T\Based of what has been seen of Trump's appointees it looks more like a Revolution Against Culture.  Stephen Bannon make Michael Moore look like a GQ model by comparison and somebody needs to teach Trump how to tie his tie.


Shouldn't be difficult for them to pen that in, I would hope!


a recent study concluded that 82% of people who use the word fascist do not know what it means .....and 30% can't  spell it correctly.

What magic number of dead was that, I wonder.


In TorontoGTA too many drivers have a conditioned knee jerk response to hit the gas and close the gap as soon as someone signals a lane change, as if a car moving in front will cause them to be late to wherever the they are  going.   Best thing to do is keep moving to take the lane and make the gap closer  hit the brakes which then causes an accordion effect all the way back.


Hal---you don't think it's his native intelligence? 'Cause I see the skills he used to make millions, and lose billions, in his daily actions and discourse...he lies, he's child-ish, quite ill mannered, needs a time out from his Mom. And by all accounts this is his MO. Shouldn't he be rich? Did God choose?


The left-leaning media must be going absolutely crazy given they can no longer completely control the message.


Eliminating carbs and doing activities you don't like - is not sustainable.  You might be able to do it for a year, or two...but both will eventually crack - because they are no fun.  Find something you can sustain instead of the miracle quick hit. Reducing (vs eliminating) carbs, and adding in more high intensity components to your routine is smart, but "ditch to ditch" miracles never work for the long term.


...and ? Where's the rest of the heads on a pike?


Let,

If you read the background of this story you will see that the payout was due to a law suit. I am reminded of similar stories out of the US in which persons of questionable character received big payouts as settlements of law suits for reasons similar to Kadhr's.

In those cases racial discrimination or police tactics were typically the issue. In Kadhr's case it is all about how he was tortured by your military forces  in Guantanamo. If your military had not tortured him he would have gotten nothing.

So before you start complaining about what we do up here in Canada you should take a good look at how your military treats prisoners. Kadhr was not the only one tortured in Guantanamo. From what I read torture was, and probably still is, considered acceptable treatment for prisoners by your government.

Torture is unacceptable regardless of the situation.


It seems that you have drifted wildly off the original topic of the 1801 appointments here Paul. But, since you brought it up, I’ll take the bait.

The press habitually mischaracterizes controversies in our federal judiciary as progressive liberals versus conservatives or Republicans V. Democrats.  In reality the fundamental debate is over how much authority unelected judges have to set public policy and all too frequently, IMHO, make law under the rubric of a living constitution.


Emmm ... remember you are a contributor to this site.


Privatization of air traffic control, in essence means allowing the major airlines to have their way with control of all major airports and airspace.  If you like their approach to virtually all other aspects of air travel, this is what you want.  If, like me, you believe that all the corporate genius at United, American, and virtually all our major airlines are brain-dead to anyone and anything but the bottom line, then this is not what you want.  Trump, as usual, paints with a broad and inaccurate brush, in describing our FAA air traffic control.  If
you are unhappy now with air travel, why would you give control of the entire system to the losers who are responsible?  We have the finest air traffic control in the world-  now.  Can it be better?  Always.  But privatization= major airline control.  Bad, bad idea.


Same people saying the same crap, over and over...


Yes, and after every contact visit, you are completely strip-searched and anal and under the scrotum searched.  The only thing that inmates usually get during a visit are drugs mouth to mouth and they swallow them right away.


When Always Changing Elected Representatives clash with their Staff, Staff is suppose to resign.

As example, look at the mismanaged City of Palmer, Alaska and how many "managers" that City has gone through due to the elected officials having no clue on how to plan, budget, manage tax funds.

Alaska cities and borough's have a long record of simply looking  to hire staff as inept as the POLITICANS that are elected by the voters.

There are reasons Alaska can't balance the State budget!
Unalaska is a microism of what is happening throughout the State of Alaska.
You reap what you sow Alaska.


I get it.  tRump is not a Hitler.  But he is an oaf, rude, crude, misogynistic, xenophobic, racist.  His own words and the examples of how he treats women are enough to set my teeth on edge - and he regrets nothing.  In other words, this is not a man who can move this country in the right (or left) direction except by divisiveness.  It does take someone with some principles other than making money to really lead people in a way in which they learn to get along, to form and respect the idea that we are a community, that we do have to respect each other, find common ground.  I don't get that from tRump.  He acts out of a win/lose paradigm, with nothing in-between - and he will make "deals" that let him perceive a win even if they create great harm for others.

I think that Hitler grew into his role as mass murderer, built up his own paranoia so that he could see nothing but the answer to kill, make war.  tRump is not a Hitler but I fear he has the potential.


"... natural resources should be owned by the people ...  (and) everyone has healthcare ..."

Also true of Cuba (for several decades now), and increasingly true in Venezuela.

In the case of Cuba, in the Bad Old Days hundreds of people died every year trying to get out of the place.  In Venezuela, people are
beginning to go hungry, according to the BBC - even though "the people" own the largest oil reserves in the world.

The picture may be more nuanced than you realize.


Market stats undercut your argument.  Time will tell where the market is really going as truck drivers come into the majority.

Discrimination is reducing, whether for women or minorities. What I argue is that it hasn't completely ended yet.

A lot of my Chinese colleagues who were laid off moved to China into senior positions. They were high taxpayers, and their move back to China is a loss for Canada.

People use meritocratic and non meritocratic filters during a layoff. I have seen completely useless people survive several rounds of layoffs due to their connections, looks or other non job related factors.


Good, all incumbents need to go.


I didn't say "something better" on purpose.

Our choice was two very flawed candidates. I don't read a crystal ball, so I don't know what we will experience from a Trump presidency.

What I do know is that Hillary had a past full of evil, and I didn't want to cooperate with that kind of person.


Most universities have conservative departments and conservative campus clubs so not everyone is left wing.  True certain departments lean more left but that is more for arts degrees.  Business is often fiscally conservative while science is usually apolitical.  Those with degrees also tend to earn more than most thus lower taxes as opposed to more program spending has a lot of appeal once they graduate.  It's only when parties on the right go off the deep end on the hard right college graduates turn heavily on them.


Looks like he's got a problem with social justice as well.


"It's estimated that tax revenues will now be in deficit of $3-Billion dollars as a result of their incompetence "... all this when GDP growth is FIRMLY positive?  even the most ardent tax+spend lefty  would advocate for running balanced or surplus budgets in times of positive growth.  Thank goodness for the USA economy.

"Trudeau, just not ready".... oooohhhh, those words are really  starting to sting.


If you toss out most of the letters in your alias, you come up with "Airhead". The middle classes are still there, but they suffer from wage stagnation loss of union manufacturing jobs going back to Reagan. That's right, this has been going on since the 70's. "The Wall" would be a very expensive waste of money, and ejection of our Central American workers would cost our economy and revenues trillions.
You are a partisan, nothing more. Also, you want to cut 20 million Americans off from health care. How crappy is that?


Nothing was "stolen". That's a worn out shoe.


I am so glad to see an article like this. As a society, we completely romanticize alcohol and it's time we address it. I drank heavily for over a decade before I decided to face it head on. Alcohol poisons lives, whether we are prepared to admit it or not. We make all kinds of excuses for this poison to continue abusing it. It relaxes us, it makes us more interesting, it's our way of dealing with stress.....yeah right. It actually doesn't do any of these things. It's all an illusion.

If you have a problem with drinking and are having a hard time with it, read Allan Carr's book "Stop Drinking Now" and prepare to have all of your perceptions about the effects of alcohol and quitting alcohol changed for good.

Willpower doesn't work when it comes to quitting drinking. This is because you think you're giving up a friend, instead of your greatest enemy. Changing your perceptions about alcohol and the damage it's doing to your life changes everything.

Read the book!!


Good for Ralph Goodale. The remark by M. Doucet was totally inappropriate for a Canadian speaking in a public forum, recorded or not. An implied threat that an extra-judicial killing would be a just punishment is the height of careless talk. If he has voiced the general sentiment of the intelligence community then it's no wonder spy agencies need watchdogs.


Actually, no, there is no compelling evidence it ever worked in Vancouver. The pricing trend was already in place before the tax was announced, a pricing trend that may have related to overseas millionaires realizing simply that they could get more bang for the buck in Toronto than in Vancouver.

Indeed, the compelling evidence that it would not work in Vancouver came from Hong Kong, which tried similar measures years ago and found the same result: The house prices did not budge meaningfully downwards.

Look, once you have established your new equilibrium, it is stuck there, unless your government makes the muscular move of demanding an income-tax based recourse (show us your Canadian provincial and federal income tax returns, and if you do not have such records, your property tax is automatically 20 percent of house value per year).

The foreigner tax was a farce. Far, far more money has been coming in over the years from investor immigrant programs - ie new Canadians.

Go read Christie Blatchford's article, from this Fri/Sat's National Post, on this case. You might come away with a different opinion about what went on with the judge and the accuser.


It's called the "She Wee" or "Go Girl", designed for female athletes and soldiers in the field. This response was meant for Jaded Jade, I apparently hit the wrong reply icon.


U get a lot wrong, U of Tyee Club booster.
PK and Moos started to have differences over the track coach at the time, who didn't even mention. Both coaches deserved to be fired.


It isn't just based on the definition of the word unfounded (which I agree should be precisely defined) but also on the assumption that all crimes should have the same rate of "unfounded" which on the face of it is ludicrous.


Notice how they resigned?
See if anybody at Fox or Breitbart is forced to resign when they can't back a story up.
Comet Ping Pong comes to mind...


yes, but God loves masses said by priests with many buttons on their sleeves more than masses said by guys with plain cuffs.


Why did this man have a gun? What are we as a society doing to prevent people like this man from obtaining a gun? Why are we allowing the NRA to spin any discussion of gun law reform into a second amendment debate? How many more must die before we finally figure out that what we are doing is not working?


Antidentite.


Sure there are some more legitimate industries which are not in violation of Federal Law that this newspaper can hype. Why do so many people "need" drugs? Or why do they choose to take them ? Are they lacking something and need something to anesthetize the pain of being unfulfilled and/or bored ?


Occasionally it's frustrating that we can only up-vote a comment once.  This is one of those occasions.


Because any black person who supports Trump is racist, or something.

Your post is disgusting Chimbo.


Oh please. The Clintons declared a long list of gifts when they left the White House. Some of these turned out to be gifts for the White House renovation rather than the Clintons. So they either returned them or paid back for their use when the status of the items was clarified.

And you wonder why "the left" isn't in a tizzy about this incident? Maybe because it looks more like a case of some flunky listing gifts that weren't gifts rather than your description of the Clintons purloining White House items.

If you want criticisms to be taken seriously, they need to be something other than desperate fantasies.


The tree cutters in BC who masquerade as energy leaders weren't able to get LNG going despite 7 years of hype under the Liberals.  They missed their chance due to a lack of knowledge and competence and now will watch LNG terminal expansion after expansion coming out of the US, Africa, Qatar, Australia.
This was an energy group that said their big advantage for LNG was that it was "Cold" in BC.  LOL.

You know, cold, like all the major LNG producers worldwide (US Gulf Coast, Qatar, Australia, Carribean, Africa...)

Baffoons.


That's pretty lame.....


It's her distorted idea of symbolic measure. But a picture of the white house is printed on the back side of the U.S. twenty dollar bill.  So as an alternative,  she could have stood out in the middle of a crowd and ripped up stacks of twenty dollar bills - it would be just as symbolic, but with her own money.


.
He didn't say anything even close to what you postulated.


Jeez, I'm not sure if I agree or not.  Try writing something a little easier to comprehend.


Another one on how the Dems appear to be all pro-choice without once acknowledging that the Pubs appear to be all anti-choice.  And then saying how narrow the Dems are.

Here is the deal, MSW.  You have nothing to offer because you are entirely anti-choice.  You offer nothing on which a middle ground could be found because you don't believe there is any middle ground.  Ms. Perez is no more or less adamant in her position than you are in yours.  Guess what, you can still be a Dem without supporting abortion -just realize there are other issues on which Dems are far more pro-life than abortion.

I might have some sympathy if you supported real solutions to the greatest cause of abortion - unplanned pregnancy.  But you are also opposed to mandatory coverage of contraceptives in health insurance and funding of contraceptives for poor women by government.  Do you really think that women have nothing else to do but bear babies and that sex has no purpose except procreation?  Silly man.


No kidding Elotro, it's exciting to watch the Broncos develop this. Now the trick is going to be taking it on the road and see if the coaches can stick with the game plan if they happen to trailing in the score. That's a big if. Seems to me that modern NFL games are mostly a chess match using big guys to tire each other out to be able to turn up the "juice" in the 4th qtr. So keep it close and keep focused about penalties, continue to tun it down their throats, use your defense for field position, and THEN think about Siemian doing his thing. I've seen enough so far to be able to think Siemian and the offense can put up points in a hurry when the pace is in Denvers favor. Just don't let him drop back and wander around haha. He's a sharp kid, just let him play at his style and don't over coach him. Patience is the key especially on the road. Field goals can add up, the home runs will come off the play action when the other team is hurting and sick of defending the run I'm certain.


Precisely why services such as these should be in the public sector. Some folks may hate unions, but the unions would be rioting in the streets if this were placed in the public sector. That doesn't mean that dollars wouldn't be removed from direct patient care to fund translator positions, but at least members of the public would have much more say into endeavors such as this.


Question: How do you think the cuts to the University budget and staff compare to cuts the Legislature made to its own budget and staff (and perks)?

I have no idea what he's talking about nor do most people, I'm sure. But what I do know is the NFL has an odious reputation of ignoring brain injuries and violent crimes by its players, especially against women, all in the pursuit of ever-greater profits and has no business lecturing anybody about anything. And besides, football is boring as dust--especially the American version.


Back to the bear issue - when you visit the park, take the time to get educated about how you should interact with wildlife.  It is not all about YOU, many people save up hard for their once in a life time trip to Denali, and to have everything closed to them is a shame.  In fact, take the time to learn how to interact no matter where you are - it will make the experience better for everyone.


I just love this article. The things Wynne is saying cant write itself. She is doing exactly what they hoped, keeping it alive in the media. Its like a suspect who knows they are guilty keeps talking and eventually says what they are trying to hide.  Keeping the record destroying theme alive, priceless. Using Liberal party funds to pay legal fees. This isn't the PC fault. Its actually the Liberals fault for doing it for them.

Exactly, these university-educated researchers seem to be unaware of the concept of human adaptation when the environment changes.  Of course the kids will just stay up later.  But I guess it provides work for more "researchers" in the future when this ends up not working.  And of course it's all about the kids, no mention of what this does to the adults that work in the schools, the effect it has on their lives to be out of sync with the rest of the world.  Seems like these days it's important to teach the kids that the world should accommodate them, it's the "system" that must change if the schedule doesn't personally suit them.


The republicans in congress are incapable of governing on their own.  President Trump will have to forge a coalition between democrats and moderate republicans in order to get anything done legislatively.  He will have to get rid of Bannon and the other extremists in his administration first because they will sabotage any attempts and moderation and compromise.


slow down!


But what a waste of time...  maturity level reminds me of a kid who ends the game by threatening to take his ball and go home.

Chelsea Clinton 😳


I'm sure he will sue the airline for something


Oh, so you're advocating that employers no longer provide health insurance to their employees?

Do you walk the walk on that?

If there were no "community rating" and 'guaranteed issue,' only healthy people would be able to buy health insurance. Sick people would have to go without, because no insurance company would want to cover them.


Trick play, like Statue of Liberty, where the RB hands the rock over to the WR, who runs by the other RB, hands him that rock, who runs for daylight and a TD. Great way to get Booker & Jordan Taylor involved, and/or Henderson & McKenzie. But don't do this at the Broncos 24 yard line, for Heaven's sake.


OK we need more condos, too. But the only way housing can be a “wealth builder” is if the building of new housing is restricted and supply constrained. Millennials can not afford the existing housing stock precisely BECAUSE it has been a “wealth builder” for previos generations. If Millennials could afford the housing, it would not have been a wealth builder for those who came before!


This would apply to the execs of lot of corporations, who seem free to rip off Americans.  We are SO screwed.

if your teachers had any moral compass, they would take a paycut.  Unbelieveable greed.  Who can blame them, that is all they know.


Trudeau is using tax payers hard earned dollars to push his social agenda without any consideration at the cost to future generations.  It's understandable that the liberals will install their feminist social policies in Canada however it's inexcusable to use our tax dollars to push this agenda around the world with reckless abandonment.


Trump supporters support him because they wish they didn't have to face life's bump and grind responsibilities.  That's their American Dreamer.


That's bull, and you know it.
Straight white males have the same rights as everyone else.
You just don't like the fact they can't discriminate against GLBT people (in 20 states), they can't block GLBT people from getting married, etc.

The "good bishop" might discover that those who comprise his "flock" are not sheep but human beings with wisdom, understanding, knowledge, etc.

The headline on his long boring article, "Let's be honest," illustrates the lack of respect he has for those who do not share his views.  Would he be willing to take a lie detector test on his claims?

He says:  "And despite a few colorful characters and occasionally eccentric behavior (sounds like most families, doesn't it?) . . ."

Fatuous.  Insulting.


Four police officers for a town of 1000 seems like a lot.  Anchorage has 420 cops for a city of 330 thousand with a million visitors a year.  That works out to one officer per 1000.  Maybe the police quit because of being bored or maybe they are given duties that are not really police duties.


These words are becoming Trump's hallmark "The president did not immediately offer evidence to support his claim." Just throw out a disparaging remark and claim any questioning of it as fake news or an un-American left wing conspiracy. His rabid fans eat it up.


When a terrorist who is Muslim screams "Allahu akbar" and commits his violence in the name of Islam, the lefties tell us the terrorist does not really represent Muslims and we must not assume that all Muslims are nasty.  Now here in this letter we have someone filled with hate claiming to represent Trump.  And Fukumoto then extends that to blame all Republicans.  So come on lefties, apply your same logic to this nutcase.  The fact that some idiot invokes the name of Trump does not mean all Trumpers are like this jerk, and certainly does not mean Republicans are like that.


You must know of a different Tommy's than me. Crazy talk.

I first heard Bryson play at the Saturday Market in Anchorage about 8 or 9 years ago, and was blown away by him! I hired him twice to play at events, and with that he gained new fans who lined up to buy his CD's. I have a couple of his signed CD's, and listen to them all the time, and miss seeing and listening to him since I moved away from Alaska. I am very happy for his success!!! You are amazing, Bryson!

Govt needs to control rent like in Montreal.  Landlord needs to inform new tenants of previous tenants' rent.  Landlord can then only raise let's say 2% according to board guideline.  This way landlord has no incentive to evict tenants using excuses such as N12 form (for self/family use) or renovation.
Landlords have been using those excuses to evict tenants in bldgs built before 1991, then apply new market rent which defeats purpose of rent control once the lease is up.
Landlord Tenant board will see tons of evictions in this hot market using those excuses if rent control is not like Montreal's.

Ontario landlords: don't be too greedy, don't start screaming, you had too good on the backs of renters many of whom are going broke.
Montreal landlords do well and renters there do well too.

Toronto and Ontario is downright unaffordable.
Retail sucks, and people are complaining about cost of onions !

Since they stole MY money they are criminals. Since they stole YOUR money they are also criminals. They have zero right to make any financial decisions for Alaskans because they have stolen from every single Alaskan whether they chose to apply for their PFD or not. They are thieves.


I agree with this. One day I'd like to be able to stop asking patients whether they have private drug coverage. One day I'd like to stop seeing people in their 40s or 50s with no teeth because that was cheaper than routine dental care (well, maybe that's still unrealistic).


Why the fine? There was no "intent" to deny the 911 service.


I do not wonder why she received millions more votes in CA.  No need to wonder.


In this case it is the latter.  The MSM knows that the biggest whiners are the hard-left and by leaving it "up to the community" they get the controlled narrative that they want while also being able to wash their hands of responsibility or blame.


It would be informative to see research about the effects of prohibition on substance abuse in towns and villages. I have had students in villages ask me whether pot or methamphetamine is safer and that they lean toward trying meth because it is the easiest substance to acquire and they want to experiment (alcohol being more expensive than either of these). In other villages, gas huffing has caused terrible ripple effects because it is easily accessible and very cheap.
Prohibition seems like a great option when you ignore the reality of black markets and the underlying problem of the attraction to substance abuse in ALL western communities. Is there a corporation interested/doing this research?


That's the same problem with the LGBT people.


Yum. I love Filipino food!

Lucky kitchen is fantastic and I also highly recommend Kubo at Benson and Minnesota (in the strip mall next to city diner and across the street from the new LIO/old Wells Fargo) for a more upscale Filipino dining experience. You won't regret it!


Lane was the first territorial governor right?


Good thing all the big problems are solved.

So, by your logic, if knives are as dangerous as guns, then we should just send our military to battle with knives.  We could save a ton of money on defense spending.


He didn't. He was actually presidenting so he spoke to them remotely. https://youtu.be/FWNyp_-2D78

LOL.  I tend to agree, except I seriously doubt this is 100 percent VJ's choice.  If I was Elway, I'd almost be afraid to start Lynch. John's street cred is almost zero right now, and anyone who thinks Lynch can right the ship...well, I want to know what they're having. It will just shine the spotlight on a very bad #1 pick.

The dog is required by law to be on a leash whether you are on a bike or not but to ride a bike with a leashed dog is dangerous and unfair to the dog . . .


If that would have been about the previous President he would be labeled a racist, his career over, his movies pulled from Netflix, and if you owned one of his movies or watched one YOU'd be a racist.  The DP would be hosting Pirates of the Caribbean DVD burning parties in the parking lot and any attempt at an apology or attempt to categorize it as a joke would be met with score.

But alas because it is a flaming liberal threatening a Republican the "I was only joking" apology is not only accepted but propagated by the liberal media.


While I am all for gender equality and female empowerment, and would not balk in the slightest at a woman president, it would need to be someone worthy of the highest office.

And currently there is a dearth of women who fit the bill, while on the other hand, there are multiple examples of women who should not be let near any levers of power more important than those on a candyfloss machine:
Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma (Sarafina II scandal)
Bathabile Dlamini (Sassa and CPS outrage)
Faith Muthambi (SABC debacle)
Dudu Myeni (SAA's slow-motion air-crash)
Tina Joemat-Pettersson (dodgy sale of SA's oil reserves)
Lynn Brown (take your pick from Brian Molefe, Tegeta or any other scandal related to Eskom and the Guptas)

And let's not forget from a few years back the highly praised Manto Tshabalala-Msimang (Aids and ARVs scandal)

All of this, despite not even naming the small fry involved in things like the travel vouchers disgrace, or paying for family holidays out of the public purse!


The Russians stole it.


Actually - there are revelations that document this connection.  Given Burke's historical behaviors, it is not unreasonable to assert this.

http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2016/11/16/cardinal-burke-threatens-formal-act-correction-pope-francis/

Some obvious errors in Burke's statements:

- sacrament of marriage, etc. was not formalized in the Church until the 13th century and later (so much for his *forever* marriage statements)
- note that he fails to refer to scripture
- note that he fails to references the synods - only his opinion is proper
- both the theology and practice of various sacraments have developed and changed over two centuries
- suggest what we see are four self-absorbed Promethean Neo-Pelagians


The reality, that no one wants to talk about is that with global warming Canada will have the most habitable land. The US population will be forced to migrate north. The Canadian population can not stave off a large US migration. Since Canada has the most valuable land, the US has no choice but to protect us to protect their future.


Trump has appointed Peter Navarro to a key position in the administration requiring expertise on, and an ability to work with, China.

But, as is expected with a Trump appointee, Navarro has neither.

Instead, as expected, Navarro has a long history of China-bashing.

In the world of professional economists, as is to be expected, Navarro is considered to be the crackpot's crackpot.

Navarro has been Trump's economic advisor.  That explains a lot.


Idiotic people interjecting their equally idiotic and clueless opinions into commentaries are disruptive too. Some people have no manners.  Behavior like that should be condemned.

Don't go on an EMS ride, I hear the mortality rate is high.


I guess I am also free to pay the administrative costs of the IPP myself as well and have no security other than I work for every dollar (not a DB situation at all).  The costs to run it are over 5K per year.  There are other complicating factors.  So not really the same thing - do fed employees pay 5K per year in admin charges to have a pension?  You seem to have overlooked all the other examples I gave.  I don't have an issue with pensions, I think they are wonderful and more people like doctors should have them.  We are public servants according to most canadians we just dont get the benefits - that was my point.  To give us these fair benefits would bankrupt the system.


Sorry - The fact remains that land use issues are related to growth in the area and not a forum for ethnic comments.
First Nations are concerned with land use - not "Little India" or at least they should not be.

Still thinking you are speaking from the perspective of a bigot to have even brought ethnicity to the table.

People are people - The developers in the area (far and wide) are abusing their political connections to abuse the land - It really is that simple.


This is infuriating! I want Obamacare GONE! YESTERDAY! NO one except the poor and the very rich can afford the ACA. There's no excuse for not repealing this garbage. I don't care about other people's problems, I have enough problems of my own, & I want this garbage law gone & my deductible to go back to being affordable like it used to be so that I can actually use my health insurance without going broke.

Why does your evidence-free claim make you so upset?


There's a Catholic church in my area that completely turned its fate around when it began exclusively offering Latin mass.

https://forum.musicasacra.com/forum/discussion/9237/amazing-story-of-st.-annes-parish-in-san-diego/p1

There's confession offered not just every day, but at every Mass, and the lines to the confessional are always long.   The pews are usually full for every mass.   Hard to imagine a more vibrant parish.


So Noel Kent thinks that nobody would be alive on O'ahu if a nuclear weapon explodes at Pearl Harbor?  I guess he doesn't know that thousands of people living in Hiroshima and Nagasaki survived the 1945 bombs.  I guess Kent never heard of the Ko'olau mountains, which shield the Windward side against a blast at Pearl; and he never heard of the trade winds, which stop the fallout from affecting Windward.  Kent is an arrogant UH retired professor who thinks Manoa and downtown are the only places where people live.  He needs to get out more. The fact that there would be survivors of nuclear war is an "inconvenient truth" for Kent.  He wants our leaders to be so afraid of war that they will let the bad guys take over the world while we remain passive.  Hey robbers and rapists:  go to Ken't house; he will give you whatever you want without a fight.

Gee - cooperating with Russia on Cyber hacking.......sort of like our own Trudeau Liberal government cooperating with China, eh?

"China has signed an agreement saying it will stop conducting state-sponsored cyberattacks aimed at stealing Canadian private-sector trade secrets and proprietary technology."


Yes, they are the ones doing just that. Collectivism and tribalism are well-known conservative traits.


"On the winner creek trail" is a pretty broad area. Which part? Near the gorge? The tram? Upper winner creek? How far from any trailhead? This information could help people out in attempting to assist.


Have a look at the economic numbers.

They are all improving under Trudeau, after an abysmal Dark Decade under the CPC.


You may get burned by the markets - by getting back in now.
  Now selling after a crash would just be bad advise, buying when markets are largely over valued, also bad advise. Being in the market long term is the best approach, through the downs and ups as markets always return from to pre-crash values and more. With the recent heights the markets have soared to they should feel comfortable holding cash right now. Not to say there isn't any solid investments to be had, preferably dividend  paying companies as it eases the pain during market corrections.

PS-What sandia2007 said.

Oh he says that in 2015, however was interviewed AS THE PM saying that a carbox tax will be implemented and it's ON CAMERA via the CBC.


In a lot of cases, this is cultural expectations, not real tech difference. I.e. this is like people from, say, Spain that come from houses with no central air conditioning or dishwashers complain about the lack of multicookers or low Internet speeds in Canada.


Nope
