What I understand from what you say is:
You fight Nazis because you are pro-Jewish.
You believe Nazis are people who declare themselves Nazis.
They are different because they declare themselves different.
Nazi ideology is 'to be different'.
Alt-Right = Nazi.
If people do not respect your right to life, you do not have to respect their right to life.
Modern Nazis have the same doctrine as the original Nazis.

I think that is a fair summary and it has helped me understand many people with the same thinking as you. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you.

NOTE: The causes of WWII was not ideological. The Nazi ideology was tolerated and allowed to exist without any objection until 1939. The Americans only found Nazi ideology intolerable after Pearl Harbour - how strange. The Soviets allowed Nazism to exist until 1942. The Swiss, Irish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedes etc never had any problem with it. The Italians and Japanese joined them. As did the Hungarians and Romanians.


Get 'em, Gov!


Exactly.
This ain't hard. But, then again, the press can't keep writing more and more articles about this if we just said, "use commonsense".


I'm of the opinion that examining what made us who were are today, no matter how ugly or distasteful to those faint of heart, has ever turned anyone into a pillar of salt.


2016 was a bad year if you don't want America to be great again.

Too bad Renzetti's TDS led her to mar what might have been a decent column.


Just looked at the disagreement to my comment......hilarious, it is like the usual suspects are running in a pack today....lol......I feel honored they don"t agree with me, that means I am correct, and they are in damage control.


It's hard to understand who PDC really answers to. Its values, interests, and motives don't seem to be in line with those of the community they exist to serve.


You know she was here illegally, ... how?
American citizens, even ones born here, commit crimes all the time.


No idea.  Why don't you go to the police and press charges?

Don't blame you for dropping your stormfront defence, by the way.


Justin T  has substituted so-called WHITE Privilege with real non-White privilege


Wish he'd just stick to his Bill Allen type shticks. Oops, that' exactly what he' doing here...a typical NRA enabling corporate gun lobbyist, that has one thing in mind for their bottom line...blood $$$$ at any cost with his freedom to publish this trash.


Starting a sentence with 'Trump tells the truth' typically signals that a joke will follow.  Even his most loyal followers fully understand that Trump and truth can rarely exist in the same room at any time; they just don't care.


Barbara. Alaska much richer when Lesil's Gravy Train comes to an end?

Not very likely with another Lesil clone - Natasha Von Imhof - up at bat to take over that senate district.

While Princess Lesil's self-entitled and lavish lifestyle will soon be paid by the Rasmussen Foundation, if all goes as previously negotiated by their respective families, Princess Natasha's sense of entitlement will dwarf Princess Lesil and her staff's extravagant use of our public funds.


The "blind bidding" is a feature of the market here that is as bad as "gazumping" is in the UK property market.    Gazumping is so bad that it actually is a word that means "to swindle".

The practice of massively overshooting the list price on the first bid (by 20% or more) happens so much at the moment it's suspicious.   For example, does that so-so semi down the street in a catchment with so-so schools really warrant $220k over the asking price of $799k?

I also have been hearing of stampedes of people attending open houses and have to wonder if all are really interested in the housing market, or are there some people being paid (or otherwise incented) to create "traffic" and make people increase the amount they bid.   Some of the open house attendance numbers I've heard are so high they are ridiculous.   They aren't credible given how often there are on-line viewing options now.


We gave them lower taxes they still manufactured everything in China and Bangladesh. We gave them deregulation and they still hired TFWs over Canadians. We gave them free trade and they still whined and complained and wanted more.

We just don't trust businesses, their lobby groups and sponsored thinktanks. They act in their own benefit and so should we and the two do not coincide. They just want more, more and more and it has reached a point where they take more than they give. To **** with Tim Hortons, big oil, McDonalds and its TFWs and demand for even lower taxes for example.

Gas and oil prices are low these companies pull out. Simple as that.
That industry is the past. Let Canada look to the future.


However, the Penny Sparrow case is not quite analagous to Jordaan's: there was no dispute that Sparrow said what she said - the question was whether what she said was illegal. In Jordaan's case (and I'm not necessarily defending him, I'm only demonstrating the difference between the two cases) whether the act itself occured is under dispute.


Justin's success is based on hair, selfies and platitudes. Yeah that's much better. . .


If you are in a high risk group such as being over 65, you would be better served by getting the high dose version of the flu vaccine now.  Either do that, or get one shot standard shot now, and then a second one in December.


Some might say she had balls because she tried to unilaterally proclaim a new constitution!  Others might say she didn't have them, because she gave up without a fight.


6 yrs? What a joke, he is a menace to society and doesn't care about these vulnerable kids as long as they fill his pockets with money. This trial was a waste of taxpayers money, he deserves at least 20 yrs. Let's start holding these dealers accountable for their actions for once. Get them off the streets.


When bin Laden met his 72 virgins after his compound was raided by American forces under Commander-In-Chief, Obama,  he was asked who killed him.  Bin Laden's reply was,  " A community organizer........and (gasp!) a woman......they call her Hillary."   One of the 72 virgins asked where Trump was.  Bin Laden replied,  " He was working on a birther thing....whatever that was."


I trust the feds to manage Alaska lands and fisheries, especially on behalf of Natives.


The Canadian government is not noted for proactive management on the lumber file. When the Americans cannot build homes because there is no lumber, political hell is in store for Washington. If the U.S. decides to add a 20% levy on Canadian lumber, then the short term solution is for the Canadian government to intervene by creating a serious shortage,one way or another, so that the political pain would be a serious detriment to the 20% levy on Canadian-sourced lumber. One way to do this would be to put an equivalent levy on the exports, so the cost of building would shoot up. Fast. Also why should the Yanks get all the money? The levy could be used to compensate displaced workers, compensate the industry, stockpile lumber, etc. But by putting up the cost of construction in the U.S. their housing industry would suffer dramatically, and job losses would be on the table. Oh dear!


Critical thinking is important.  The interstates connected large populations to each other.  Same with the bridges.  The commerce existed before the infrastructure was built.  There is no conceivable economic activity that will occur between Juneau and 50 miles from Skagway that will make a $574 million payback plus the maintenance costs.  Up here we keep the "build it and they will come" myth going.  Rail?  I think the last time the AKRR was profitable was WWII.


Wow.
How did *your* comment get through the civility check?

And in answer to your question, however rude it may be: no. No, you may not.


I never said Kronke was cheap, I just said he was profit driven. Look at the Rockies... the Monfort's spent millions to construct rooftop patio bar and have been seeing markedly improved concessions and ticket sales since it opened with minimal impact on record (2017 being the exception).

Sometimes you have to spend money to make money. But in Denver, ownership seems to prefer spending on the carnival ride experience, instead of on talent and personnel. Both of them get butts in the seats, but only one approach produces consistent wins.

Tell me, just how is that big screen helping the AVs get into the playoffs? Or is it just intended to enhance the audience experience? Some owners focus on wins, some focus on entertainment - Kronke is the latter.


- sweet....


Why would I explain anything Trump does?  There's nothing in my comments that indicates I'm a Trump supporter.  You really should check your assumptions.


It was pretty obvious Nebraska will do well at home this season.


Oh boy our world has become troubling with people like this writer in it.

Is it just me or is there a never ending onslaught of Liberal ideals perpetuated on our population every single day of the week by media people?  Time to turn off and tune out if this is where things are going..


It appears as if you've won a frowny face. I know, that's insensitive, nobody wins when so many people have been enslaved through the centuries.


On the positive side of things for Natives is their birth rate is healthy and in fact the fastest growing ethnic group in Canada.


If you kill someone for trying to steal your property, you will go to jail.
If you kill someone that attacks you, you might go to jail.

You should control your blood lust and check into Colorado law before going and killing someone.


Canada needs a strong opposition.    The current CPC aren't it.


as a tax payer I'm VERY happy with actions taken by those like Chin, they're using their positions exactly as they should be for the greater good and upholding American values. the others you mentioned should indeed take lessons on good governance.


The Proud Boys have been tried and convicted in the court of mass media, and in the court of the federal administrative complex of two egregious offences:

1. Publicly disagreeing on policy issues with an Aboriginal group.

2. Being white males.

Everybody knows, you can do one or the other but it is an unforgivable offence to do both.


It defies logic.


Mile 106 on the Glenn you say?  Well, be right back.


NW Lynn,
Conspiracies are difficult to prove or rebut. For instance, Lincoln's and JFK's assassinations. Unfortunately, Trumpet is a master of conspiracy theories and his worshipers still do not believe Obama was born in the USA. so it is easy to convince them that California's voter security laws are allowing illegal voting by the millions. FOX news ignites their delusions regularly.
Facts and truth really get in their way. Again, your input is appreciated.


Why would China help?  They see themselves leading the world one day.   North Korea is a proxy state for them.  Let North Korea do the dirty work and let China reap the benefits.  They already have our PM under their thumb.


Medicare works great for me. No complaints!


Zapiro, if you haven't already done so, please create a cartoon around Bathebile Dlamini's comments that women get too emotional and therefore need male experts.


With no new supply we will see offshore buyers and rich immigrants competing with each other to drive prices ever higher.  Canadians will leave Vancouver and eventually Toronto; the exodus has already started.  Canada is one of the last truly liveable countries left on our overcrowded planet - that is why the rest of the world so desperately wants to immigrate here.  This will result in increased competition and higher prices for housing, health care, food and other resources.


There were 3 whales - Tilikum and 2 females (Haida and Nootka, IIRC) - in the pool at the time. They generally didn't have a lot to do, though on rare occasions, they'd be given a toy to play with. To them, anything that got dropped in the pool became a toy, and sadly, Keltie Burns slipped and fell partly into the water. There is apparently some evidence that it was Tilikum who pulled her the rest of the way in, which is why he has gotten most of the blame, but all three of them were involved.


Spot on post. In fact as of 2016, Mexico's remittances reach record $26.9 billion ....

I agree. I cannot understand why the province directed UBC to form policy over an issue that it has no legitimate jurisdiction. Sexual assault, indeed all assault, is a criminal matter in which the person assaulted is obligated to report the alleged crime to the police for criminal investigation and, if the allegation is found to be substantive, to press charges against the alleged assailant. There is no part of this process in which the university has any role to play. Sexual assault is not unique to UBC and there is no reason whatsoever for the institution to be treated any differently than society in general.


Alaska doesn't have a revenue problem. Alaska has a spending problem.


People are always going to be selfish in their perspective, but expanding the monument is the right thing for the good of all.


Clearly Trump does not speak for US government policy so why is he there?


While being an emotive approach, this line of reasoning is weak. Furthermore, it also works the other way: until you have lived some time as a man, you have no idea what men go through (and incidentally, several high-profile transgender people have claimed that society treats them better as women than it did when they were men...)


...unless their initial hire date was before August, 1976.

Former Palin/Parnell chief of staff made out like a bandit with this PERS provision when Sean Parnell unwisely enabled Nizich to accrue his Top 3 close to and above $200,000 per year.


Thanks Trump.


The doctrine of Islam, as laid down in the Koran, is incompatible with the State, its right and
freedom. Such a thesis is an argument uttered in the court of reason and subject to public
discussion. No government has the right to ban the free and open debate of its citizens.


really?  And how many people keep an armed bear?


@ TDM
No, they didn't cite Washington Post, New York Times, or The Economist, or the runners up in fake news, Globe & Mail.
I haven't heard of zerohedge having a reputation for fake news. Also, it would be odd if they had such a reputation, since they are primarily aggregators of news from other news sites. Rather, I thin they've established a bit of credibility for accuracy.


But they could turn their economy on a dime if they wanted to! None of that messy democracy. Just like Trudeau's other BFF, China.


racist comment eh? your pals at BLM are the thuggy little dicks that say this stuff. but you don't want a supposed trump supporter to bring it up? wow, stupid much.


"He also told the Scots he would create 6,000 jobs, but the actual figure was 95 at last count."

Anyone that believed 6000 people work at a gold course......


A bit (?) of an omission in this article is any mention of the travails of Post Media. This is a great (i .e. bad) example of a leveraged buyout that makes money for the hedge fund while destroying the company. Should there be laws to ban this type of dysfunctional behavour or does business have a license to do whatever?

The crisis is in small communities without a local paper. There is no viable solution via government subsidy. It is not a solution to create a government subsidized news media monopoly in a local market.

Fake news is another problem. It has always existed; partisans 'know' evil when they see it! We have to have faith that people will eventually understand the false equivalency of science = hoax. Perhaps the comments on this article will provide some hope that this is possible! ; )


You don't know what is in the hearts of the Pope's dialogue partners, just because they nod their heads and are all sweetness and smiles around him. We already had the spectacle of the Imam invited to the Vatican to give a prayer in the Vatican and he prayed for victory over the infidels and publicly denied that God has a Son in the Vatican gardens. Would Muslims take well to the Pope proclaiming Jesus Christ on their "turf"?  How do you know how Muslims elsewhere view our attempts at appeasing them? Just because you see from your perspective, oh look how nice the Pope is doesn't mean others don't see it that way.

This is a classic black box  look at an issue that shouldn't be oversimplified. I get the GHG emission argument but they completely miss the swath of other environmental concerns related to oil sands  development:
   water contamination from processing, biodiversity of "reclaimed" areas, damage from inevitable spills, NOx....

The only Charade here is that the benefits of oil sand development outweigh the risks...


Yes, but the Globe wastes our time with fawning articles about never wusses all the time.

Federer was just dominant.


Trump the great businessman, when is the last/first time HE paid for something with his own $, on the expectation and demand someone else will pay him back...I don't think so! Easy to do with "other people's money"........IF this was his own....NOT GONNA HAPPEN>


Yes, I feel strongly that they're lame, and I'm far from alone in that opinion -- if you ask, you'll hear the same.
The Gateway is a dark hulking shell that doesn't fit on that corner. It's uninviting, drafty, and unused -- very far from a town square. Yes the Farmers Market is there, but it's awkward. Just compare it with other markets.
The Waterfront had a budget to work with, and the result is largely sterile and cookie-cutter.
It's not that either is absolutely horrible or worse than before, it's that they're both fully mediocre. There are details in both that work, for example the inlaid glass on the curving paths. But we deserve more creatively people-centric structures and spaces. That's far from what we got. IMHO.
I really hope the Waterfront Center doesn't become a cramped convention center, but instead a very people-centered inspiring and inviting space. And I hope for a very large, section-able auditorium that can fit the Symphony and bigger shows. What are the chances?


You have obviously spent too much time reading government acronyms!  I'm sure professional help is available.


Why? This is their business, whether it is unethical or not. Anyone can set up a "misinformation business" as long as someone would hire them. Sign of the times.


Watch batting practice the next time Votto is in town.  Votto spends it sending line drives according to where the ball is pitched.  Cargo spends it trying to mash the ball.

I'm continually amazed and astonished at the research being done in the Arctic. This story triggers my imagination like when I was a kid reading Jules Verne. Are there images taken by Ridgway that can be viewed online? Thanks for another great column, Ned!


Yet they claim to be a "Christian Nation".
I don't recall Jesus refusing to heal the poor.


The same could be said of Trump!!


klastri, Kamehameha is in the same category.


"Alba" - sounds like a near-epic-fail choice of a name. Boring! A public VOTE should have been held to select the critter's name. I would have voted to name her  " 'RANGY McRANGFACE ". Heh heh.


All DNA tracing can do is give some indication (probabilistic not definitive) of the origin of a particular pattern of DNA.

We know a bonobo is not a human, and we know people today are human.

What we do not know is where the dividing line is. Logically there was a first human.

Since God exists outside time and space, Adam and Eve could have been created, lived, and died anywhere without regard to any DNA testing.

This is an excellent example of a case where a theological truth is in no way contingent upon science. At best we can opine that there is no evidence of a prior unfallen creation in the record on this earth.


"Every government traffics in weapons. Ours is no different"

Now you're getting it. Next address your love for immigration, the more the merrier.


That's contradicted by the facts. First of all, Democrats have acknowledged the past and the party evolved to the anti-racist side, which prompted southern racists who used to constitute the Solid South for the party to migrate to the GOP, where the South now pretty much votes solidly for Republicans due to the GOP's adoption of the racist polices the Democrats used to push. If there are any remaining racists in the Democratic Party, the members will marginalize and push them out.

The Democratic Party of the 1800s, though, was the conservative party. They were not "leftist" at all.

Entitlements are not "slavery." That's just a silly remark, pre-packaged propaganda to demonize people who need help. Look at Ben Carson -- on public assistance and loans and public housing all his life until he made it on his own, and now he demonizes welfare. Bunch of hypocrites.


.... and its nice and close to the Nuke plant.

.


The facts of life are Conservative. Many governments, including ours, are learning the hard way.


My.  How peculiar.  This comment gets past the "civil" threshold even though it's message boils down to insulting others and yet my previous comment noting how it is uncivil and unhelpful did not?  What a weird filter.


I agree.

I would also suggest that rail be sold to a developer, carte blanche to build however it sees fit, so long as it follows basic guidelines for timeliness, capacity, safety, and route. The real estate, rights to develop the stations, tax incentives, and other inducements could be used.

It would still cost the city/state tremendously, and would almost certainly require significant subsidy, but it would rid the state of a project that it is incapable of managing, and pool additional capital, and limit everyone's future exposure to this unmitigated disaster.


They are not alone - they simply behaved in the customary local way. They got tripped up when they ran into Alex Silvert and now someone from the same department as his is going to defend them. How ironic. Can they afford a jury trial, as the federal judge himself was in a way complicit in the same old same old way of doing things locally as he was a US Attorney when it was going on and he knew about it but, hey, that's just the way things are. Everybody does it, so what's the problem. Call who you know and get it fixed.


St. Justin the Martyr (c. 100 - 165 A.D.): "It is of the SACRIFICES OFFERED TO HIM IN EVERY PLACE BY US, the Gentiles, that is, OF THE BREAD OF THE EUCHARIST AND LIKEWISE OF THE CUP OF THE EUCHARIST, that He speaks at that time; and He says that we glorify His name, while you profane it"

St. Irenaeus of Lyons (c. 140 - 202 A.D.): "…He took from among creation that which is bread, and gave thanks, saying, "THIS IS MY BODY." The cup likewise, which is from among the creation to which we belong, HE CONFESSED TO BE HIS BLOOD.

He taught THE NEW SACRIFICE OF THE NEW COVENANT, of which Malachi, one of the twelve prophets, had signified beforehand: [quotes Mal 1:10-11]. By these words He makes it plain that the former people will cease to make offerings to God; BUT THAT IN EVERY PLACE SACRIFICE WILL BE OFFERED TO HIM, and indeed, a pure one; for His name is glorified among the Gentiles. (Against Heresies 4:17:5)"

And on

And on

And on.


His "personal" attorney during the campaign.  So what? This doesn't even suggest impropriety!  Liberal media just trying to stir up controversy and sell news meant to mislead.


Then don't do it.


So I guess those 228 law enforcement officers are just sitting around twiddling their thumbs right now. And why is crime in the country worse than crime in the city? And what is the point of a crackdown when the real problems are poverty, gangs, drugs, alcohol and unemployment? And overall the incidence of crime is declining. Why go gonzo on crime at the expense of other priorities when there is actually no need for it?

The truth is: this is all about the Wall government giving a big gift to SARM and its rural base to try to shore up bandage up its hemorrhaging support.

Wall doesnt care whether there is a real problem or not. This, like everything Wall has ever done, is all politics.


Among the misunderstandings
When Sears applied to stop paying INTO the pension plan due to bankruptcy, news  reports were that pension chequess FROM the pension plan were cut off. I don't think that was true but it was not clear from the news reports.

Underfunding is usually a bit of an exaggeration since a plan is underfunded if it does not have enough to cover the pension with all assets invested in bonds. In reality with half or more invested in equities it may be fine.

Almost every balanced portfolio would effectively be underfunded by this calculation as bonds will deliver less than the expected balanced amount.

When a company goes broke, I understand the pension assets must be converted to 100% fixed income which at today's low interest rates is almost certain to make the problem FAR worse.

Hey, that's original!


"...you seem to feel that a favorable partisan outcome should dictate the process"
Not even close. What I've been posting is that if you want all votes to count, then simply  count all the votes...and dispense with the Electoral College. It's the method of doing that upon which we disagree.


The liberals must hate this! That is one reason that I don't understand them.


Propaganda around the clock; yesterday in the court. We heard a very perturb side in the Ahmed Timol inquest, his legal representatives got it wrong; in fact they had represented the Timol's family poorer y; taken into considering, the facts before the first inquest that wanted to get to the bottom of how; he died in 22 September 1971.
The Timol's senior counsel had left or had failed to interrogate; his so called; what the state had failed to do "knocking door to door"; as they have done; looking for witnesses to come in and give testimony leading to Timol's dead-John Foster's police station.
Three question were asked by the presiding officer; and a respond from Timol's advocated; we have not dealt into it; but that's your head of argument entails.
As you said Timol; was pushed from the 9th floor; through a window; but a witness came and attest; that no window was open; how then; asked the judge; his caught wanting. He felt from the top of a building; 'JUDGEMENT RESERVED'

How many tax hikes during his reign?


From the article:

"....you’ll be asked to rate the civility of several other comments from the site — and then your own comment — before you’re allowed to submit it. This kind of crowdsourced moderation is a unique way to try to ensure higher quality comments ...."

Not necessarily "higher quality", but rather "falls in line with majority posters' opinions".


Harper had enough of a populist message during his tenure which was agreeably marked in message of fiscal pudence during the financial crisis and the subsequent nascent recovery.

Trump has changed the conversation to jobs, so called free trade and immigration by extension.  Our conservative party want's to retreat from the Harper era to something that won't reflect in a portion of the base that has evolved.

It is ok to not vote in federal election going forward. If your global view as it pertains to home is not represented-don't worry about being criticized with the usual arguments. It is about the only incursion one can  still say no to in this country.


Tilly, congratulations on living a life of service.

The story here is you better hurry and file your complaint within the time allowed, or the drones will be next, scanning your neighborhood without prejudice.


Totally differ.
What is needed is to Phase-in e-verify over 2 years and at the same time, help with moving towards robotics.
H1B needs to be constrained and then removed, and H2B needs to be slowly gutted. Like lower the number by 10-5% each year.

In order to have cheaper goods than the rest of the world, we need to AUTOMATE THEM HERE.


I have been living here since 2007.   i believe more than ever that Canada belongs to the world.
i approve of more immigration. Canada is very big and can have 50 times the population it now has.


"minority laden"
Racist and hateful much, gofastgo?


Yeah - do you notice how 'Islamphobia' sticks out? Systemic?

"develop a whole-of-government approach "

What is it - racism and hate crimes in general, or about 'Islamophobia'?

"Studies", "findings", "recommendations" - why single out a religion?

Wasn't a motion passed in Nov 2016?

Not "non-binding enough"?

I guess Kim Rues comment stands as a ok. So then, barack obama should never have been elected the fcking president, he is a creepy dictatorial POS. I hope he and sally jewell rot in you know where! This is an appropriate comment I believe, as Kim Rue has also spoken his mind, and his comment on Joe was ok by AK Dispatch standards. Thank you for letting me speak my mind freely. If the prez, bo,  had his way, we would not have this freedom. We would all be government drones.


I'd like to see how his campaign funds leftover after his 2010 campaign were spent.


Douglas, if you want to feel sorry for yourself, and cry and cry, why don't you do it somewhere else, so we don't have to listen to it. Go to a meeting of the NAACP and do it there,they will love you

"The provision of healthcare should continue to be provided by the private sector to maintain innovation and competition".
The level payments from the central government will not allow the private sector to maintain innovation and competition, that is the long range problem with single payer. Single payer will work well for the time being because of the infrastructure that has already been purchase and built by the private sector, however the private sector won't be able to continue on that track.


"Does it mean that we are anti-science?"
Yes.  And pro-cancer.


Marijuana grows like this are not normal farm crops. How many alfalfa farmers protect their hay with AR-15s?  The assault weapons have a dangerous range of 2.2 miles.Many businesses and schools are within this range including Harrison school, South Lane School District, entire downtown Cottage Grove including the police department.
Health effects from breathing the stench long and short term are unknown.
Water useage was not studied prior to issuance of permits.
State and county agencies have been remiss in their duty to provide due diligence prior to issuing permits for these activities.  I am warning all of you that live within two miles of farmland. This might not affect you now, but you are subject to the same stench we are along with falling property values and wells drying up. This is not right.
Contact your County  Commissioner and state legislators.  Demand that they reclassify marijuana so we can have some control over our neighborhoods. Please speak up now don’t wait.


Just to be exact, the flag is not lowered during "Retreat."  It is lowered during the following bugle song "To The Colors."  This ceremony is usually referred to as the Retreat ceremony, but it's two songs.  You stand at attention facing the flag/music during "Retreat" and place your hand over your heart/salute during "To The Colors."


LOL!  People who want to question her experience can just truck on out there and check tracks - then they'll know, one way or the other, and be able to talk from a truly informed position.


It's purely a selfish motive.


Trump is an incompetent fool who only cares about getting elected again in 4 years.  And this EO is stupid and incompetent.

BUT

Google thinks its the big wheel in the economy when its really not.  As Biden pointed out,  GM trimmed multiple times the whole of Google's workforce in 2008.   Google has great market capital and the zeitgeist but its not the driver of the US economy.

If we could only harness that wind for clean energy...


Well, to begin with, kenwoi, the Liberals never put UP a For Sale sign.  This is a private deal for a private company.  You confuse Canada with China.  Over there, yeah, government has a big hairy hand in all kinds of "deals."  That's because it doesn't believe in free enterprise (well, outside Hong Kong, that is.  Convenient, eh?)

Canadians do believe in free enterprise.  At least, MOST of us seem to.  It's a difference that seems lost on a number of save-our-security-and stay smiley-with-America Canadians, though, who desperately want the government to intervene in free enterprise...just the way the Chinese might do.


The Fair Labor Association (FLA) is funded by brands like Adidas (and formerly Nike) and therefore can't be trusted to cite and remediate labor violations found in subcontracted factories. If Nike is so confident about working conditions in its subcontracted factories, why is the brand refusing access to the ONLY truly independent labor watchdog organization?? Nike has a long history of labor and human rights violations and should be carefully monitored at all times like every other apparel brand. I'm proud that the UW is taking a stand for the hundred of thousands of garment workers around the world who deserve jobs with dignity and I'm proud to be a UW Alumni!


You are comparing human sex trafficking to car advertisements?


You shouldn't use the 'Q' word. Not nice.


Intersting points made here. If I smoked pot, the last place I would do it would be inside where someone else might get a contact high: that would be terrible, as people working in a pot shop, or congregating there don't smoke pot just like me. However, there could be smoking booths, vented to the outside, or the evil weed could be consumed in a nice drink make of herbal tea, honey, really hot water and tricomes mixed in. Then those of us who are still virgins could be in these horrible establishments with no fear of getting stoned. Imagine that!


I'm glad Trudeau didn't show. First thing he's ever done as PM that's beneficial for Canada.

The TPP is a horrible trade deal that will destroy the Canadian economy.  Canada should walk away from it permanently.


No confusion here. The alt-right's complaint isn't that the government is shutting down free speech. How could it be, when there aren't any examples of it? Rather, their complaint is that "lefties" and a left-wing media are shutting down free speech. I'm just wondering how they square that view with the fact that Breitbart News just did the same. If Breitbart's a champion of the alt-right and free speech, wasn't that a cowardly, backstabbing, traitorous thing for them to do?


People on the internet, eh? Whachyagonnado?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Becoming an addict was a "personal choice"? I trust that you have peer reviewed research to back up that assertion.


Fuck you.


Capping the Permanent Fund Dividend only impacts Alaskans, but a personal income tax would make non-resident workers in Alaska share in some of the burden of balancing our budget. Non-residents use infrastructure too.


It is unfair to even consider a property tax hike when voters never approved anything this absurd.
Take it to the voters to decide if the project should be scrapped.  I voted no to this project every step of the way and now property taxes are being threatened?


Acquiring donations or other items of value for an election, obstruction, and anything else discovered.

You seem to be forgetting that Bill Clinton wasn't being investigated for his adultery when the Monica Lewinsky situation arose.

Besides.....how many other presidents have you heard of discussing pardons just for the heck of it?

I won't say that there is for sure anything to the investigations, but 1) it is the Trump administration's fault that all of this is taking place with their lies and omissions (of course, I'm sure you're a fan of the GOP mantra "responsibility for thee, but not for me"), and 2) you seem to be adamant that there is no way that a guy, with a history of stiffing people, adultery, admitted sexual assault, and bankruptcies, could have possibly done anything wrong.


There is a concept in economics called "information cost". The cost to a student of obtaining accurate information about the comparative qualities of different colleges is enormous. A far better answer would be to simply ensure that all colleges provide high-quality education.

Hint: The way to provide quality education is to focus on the actual teachers. Administering a college or university does not require administrative brilliance; bureaucratic competence is all that's needed.


Mark Cuban said recently that Trump is interested in only two things and I believe him:  His image and his bank account.  By 'image' he needs to be adored or you are his enemy and by bank account, I mean he's after ours.
He cares a whit about running a government, it's just an inconvenient means to his ends.


what did you do in the war daddy??
i dropped my gun and a ran away
why daddy??
cause i'm a coward


Fair Tax Assessments

This is a story about tax assessments working EXACTLY as designed.


Nice ride...


Agree completely Shar! 0ne of the most interesting observations in this article is that from Gloria Steinem who notes that women's role in early child rearing has profound psychological consequences in our view of women. This monopoly of the role of child care may trigger powerful unconscious separation issues that are unresolved.


You win.  You're the funniest. It is sad when bad things happen to people.  So sorry this happened.  Criminal behavior can be avoided, but only with good upbringing. We have about 50% of kids these days who are raised by a single parent or grandparents or addicted parent or no parent. No guidence while growing up.  They try and make their way in the world alone so end up banding together for support.  I try to tell my grand kids and kids I talk to (as a teacher) in school not to put themselves in unsafe situations.  If it doesn't feel right, don't do it, get help.  And that's my point...there's not enough help, counseling, or guidance for kids these days.  And there's really no funding for help with all the mental and emotional disorders that can develop from not having "good upbringing".  It all trickles down from society not wanting to pay taxes, government not willing to balance the budget and no help for those who struggle.  Vicious circle of uneducated generations=high crime. Phew


Spot on . Trump's being screwed whether he realizes that or not.  And America's going to help him piss the rest of his term up against a wall trying to prove that Putin has him by the testicles.

That crap is so 'ennertaining' Putin might put him back in for a second term, so Americans can have some more .


In an earlier trial, the case was thrown out because the Chief introduced unsolicited comments damaging to the uncle of his wife .  After the case was thrown out, the uncle claimed he was framed by the Kealohas with the help of a select number of HPD officers. Complicit/conspiracy?


You don't know that, and taking the word of media-with-an-agenda isn't too bright.  If I was confronted with a citizen "waving a gun and sidestepping like a crab", I'd run too.  The CCW Cowboys MAY have saved lives -- but perhaps we'll never know.


The article is front and centre-not sure why my previous comment pointing this out did not pass the civility test..


I've never been accused of not speaking my mind here -- I regularly call Trump and his mob far worse than "deplorable." And "madman" is a term some of his own  dismayed countrymen and allies use for him, too easy to attach to foreign foes.
The point of the Kristof trip to N.K. was to humanize the alleged demons there -- and even their boyish leader, erratic as he is, who seems to have come to the obvious truth (since 1945): when your nation has nukes, the world takes you more seriously.
Even Trump's guru Bannon conceded last month, "...there's no military solution, they got us." But then, even old Steve expressed more concern than some of his colleagues for the potential casualties, "millions" in retaliation on Seoul alone. Or would those evangelical Trumpers, so sure of their rapture to come, claim that America might have to destroy the world "...in order to save it."


This will help lower prices as no physician will want to be known as a
price gouger.

Orthopedic costs are way out of line since most orthopedics formed a consortium.

Information is always good, as are informed decisions.


I live in the bush. Our non chartered customer flights ALWAYS ask about hazardous items. Especially because we need car batteries, etc. and they want to make sure such items are transported safely. Living in the "bush" doesn't need to mean "flying like idiots." This passenger should be in court.


Blumenthal 'damaged his reputation' by being caught in the lie originally.

You can't wet a river!

At least not on the same basic lie.

The actual minute details of him being a liar about his service 'in' Viet Nam are too miniscule to get him off the hook.


With so many comedians out of work.. why are you trying to be funny?!?!


we are not destroying anything. lets get you some education based on facts perhaps.


I wrote an OpEd, published in the RG, proposing that alternatives do exist.  Building the hospital was a mistake.  It was not necessary and, indeed, the money could have supported community-level facilities and services.  Democratic leaders in Salem propose compounding that mistake by continuing to operate the facility at $500K/patient.  Pardon a bit of tastelessness, but that is insane.

I proposed the current patients could be transferred to open beds at the Salem Psychiatric Hospital (they're available), and the JC facility could be used for the proposed expansion of female prison capacity.  House Democrats, including Rep. Fehey from our District, had no criticism of the suggestion........they simply ignored it.

The hospital will remain open, that  $50 million will continue to be spent, community-based mental health care will continue to be underfunded, and our legislators will continue to ignore public input.   IMO, that's rather sad at all levels.  Gary Crum


Easy, Trump often ( too many times) opens mouth and inserts foot. I don't need any media explain to me what he says, I watch him live and I don't need people like you or Trump himself  to explain  me "what TRUMP really meant" after the fact.  If Trump does not want to be "misunderstood" then he has the power with words the same as us to come across in what he claims he is really saying.  Most of us voters speak English here, we get it.         LOL


I remember Von, he used to be great... whatever happened to him?


Marvelous.  Thank you for these additions.


kag - who is to pay if they get sick, if anyone gets sick with a life threatening illness?  the point of insurance is the spread the risk.  If we spread the risk among all people, then the average any one pays is no more than the fair share of all the expenses.  In other words, rather than one person being financially ruined by ill health - the point of insurance - the cost is spread among everyone.  Break this down into smaller groups and the risk of catastrophic costs hitting someone in that group rises; when that happens that groups premiums skyrocket.  More, put "healthy" people in one group and "unhealthy" people in another group, and it is a foregone conclusion which group will have higher expenses.

By the way, I am also on Medicare and find it good.  I do have a Medicare Supplement plan; I have to hope my finances hold up so I can keep it.  If I can't it would not take long for a serious illness to deplete the rest of my assets.


TRUMP DEATH SQUADS™ are waiting for them with loaded guns...


Your post reminds me of a leader who felt that his people should go where ever he wanted. I believe his name was Joseph Stalin.


Since banks are virtually a protected monopoly in Canada with high barriers to entry for competition, it would seem a "no brainer" that the gov't who gives such a one sided advantage to the banks should side with the consumers in an attempt  to level the play field just a bit.  While we are at it, bank deposit insurance should be reviewed too.


So the payout would be closer to $15M+

Lump sum to a confidential numbered account.  Curious it wasn't small unmarked bills.


Because all of your mythical bond traders cannot all sell at once to some eager buyer? A concept yet to become a theory and impractically impossible in thereal world.  Unless the Loch Ness Monster wants to buy all of those sinking bonds.


Good article. I'd also mention that there is nothing wrong with learning the fundamentals using an a pellet gun. It's cheap, quiet and there are some (inhospitable) places where you can't shoot a 22 in your own backyard.


OMG these losers never stop.........who is going to 'come forward' next?   Russia had ZERO to do with Hilary's loss, and who cares anymore?.... sore losers that is all this is.


Haha I wish! What a world that would be to live in.

But far from the truth for me. I invite you to click on the link to my original article and peruse my site. You’ll quickly see plenty of things I’m responsible for (a career I’ve built up to earning a solid six figures, a growing family, a small business on the side). I’m just not that enthusiastic about being responsible for my home repair and maintenance, but that doesn’t mean I’m lazy.

Anyway, thanks for the laugh.


Yes, you can easily identify Dittoheads when they repeat Rush's words - Democrat Party.  He and Mike Rosen speak for pretty much all of KOA's "informed" listeners.  I have to get up and change the radio dial after Rockies games because they put the GOP hate propaganda on and it is disrespectful to others like me who wish to just be baseball fans and not political cannon fodder.  KOAs' Rush called me a monkey because I voted for Obama (the former black man in the White House).  I was just finishing up the post game show when the unpatriotic radio blowtorch thrust him on.  Unpatriotic KOA also purposefully cuts to commercials when the National Anthem plays.  It's more important to hear from their advertisers than to just be an American and hear the Star Spangled Banner.  Clear channel is not unbiased and plays programming that divides, not unites.  KOA has a pink elephant in the room (they hate the majority of the voters in the last presidential election) but want their advertising $$$.


You have, from a distance,  generated quite a set of "alternative facts" ...that would be wrong.   There is nothing "vague" if you have been paying attention and reading what has actually been said over the course of over 350 comments,  several from people who actually live here and know the real facts.  Speculation is not the same as knowing the facts.   But no doubt you will continue to believe what you choose to believe regardless of facts.


While your take isn't necessarily wrong (if a little scattered), I doubt Tillerson closed this out of a sense of hypocrisy.  State is understaffed and rudderless. I promise you that doesn't help those in certain war torn countries.

You want to a trial for the players of The Project for the New American Century?  I'm in, but watching our diplomatic arm crumble isn't going to help anybody.


DWLR will be an infraction unless it is during the active revocation period.  Let's say someone has a revoked license and never goes to DMV to get it renewed.  Now they get caught driving.  Currently they have to go to court and fix it or face suspended or actual jail time.  This ensures we have licensed drivers without convicting anyone of a crime (because it's reduced to a violation).
After SB 91 they will get a traffic ticket (infraction).  Sections 92 and 93 of the bill if you don't believe me.


I bet Pat didn't even go to the Trump rally. His canned response was probably written and ready to go even before Trump set foot in Eugene.


Sad to say elected bureaucrats are pandering to the unions, just adding more pension debt to the already breaking backs of taxpayers.

What they should be doing is following San Diego's lead where all newly hired city employees are covered by a 401k plan. This lets the city budget for its part of 401k contributions. Immune from spiking and unions always demanding more and more and more money but not higher work quality, more efficiency.

In the coming years pension costs will continue their explosive growth, taking away money from city core infrastructure requirements, where money really needs to go.

Just another day in the little 10th world of Hawaii Nei.


Scott, I am glad that you (and other road/traffic engineers) are willing to sacrifice more and more of your fellow Alaskans in the futile effort to prove your pet theories, only to ignore unique and specific local conditions that disprove those theories.


Pat, both I and my immediate family have been heavily touched by crime.  Criminals come in all shapes, sizes, occupations and backgrounds whether they're out in bail or in probation. My son was attacked by a guy with a record of violence, almost died and has been left with permanent disabilities. I've had numerous crimes committed against me. I know people that have been destroyed by the authorities.  Frankly, I think bring destroyed by the ones who are supposed to uphold the law is worse. And 99.9% of them are free as birds, having suffered zero consequences.  But that's me.


For a man with a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.


It is about time they investigate this organization. They have been on a witch hunt for years and responsible for ruining the lives of innocent priests in their quest for justice.


I agree about the G&M gotcha reporting in general, but this one seems to be for real.  There's no denying that she's a very well connected Liberal insider who was actively lobbying for the PMO to give her a patronage plum (recall that she tried for the Senate first).  IMO this is the very definition of objectionable patronage and would only have been worse if the person appointed was PM Trudeau's cousin or something.


Not really, the U.C. schools are very good. Rejected students would rather apply at some no name university in India, Asia or even in Cuba before wasting their money to attend UH teaching Libtard Politics at community college levels.

The Broncos didn't pass on Sloter.  Just like MIN and every other team in the league, they knew it wouldn't make sense to put him on the active roster.

MIN simply outbid DEN for his practice squad services.


I dunno about you, but I'm glad to see they'll be working diligently on the budget.  Just like the Alaska sludge.

CORRUPT TRUMP AND HIS BAND OF TRAITORS ARE SICKENING.

I moved to Seattle from Anchorage 3 years ago and I like it a lot better. Winters are not as bad, there is so much more to do in the city and you still are close to wilderness when you want to get away. The government functions better here, and the 'high" taxes aren't as bad as the cost of living in Alaska due to its isolation and brutal winters.  Ever since 2014 when Parnell gave away the tax revenue Alaska has been on a downward spiral, while Seattle is booming. I would encourage young people who are having a hard time in Alaska to move to a suburb city near Seattle. Its better here

Not everything has to be political, but 4 years with the RG has given me a better understanding of why conservatives would feel they are running uphill.

The RG seems to be acting with intention to publish more reports on free speech.   We've seen a couple covering campus complaints at various colleges around the nation.   It's not local, they don't have to print it, but they have been.   They've also been publishing more conservative politcal cartoons.    I wouldn't expect a total flip in their editorial slant, but you might look for signs of better balance.

Liberals are good at feeling guilt, appeals to fairness will work with some, personal insults will work with very few.  I'm not sure why you bite the hand that gives you so much access to be heard?

Trump is hurting with seriously inexperienced people.   I'm sure he's see them as a new path, but so far they just look lost- it should improve.


Scott writes well and has always been pro-sumer and positive.  But despite the bright-and-shiny tone of this article, I feel that there is a deeper, less optimistic story to be told.   I would have appreciated a more balanced article that weighs pro's and con's, for there certainly must be some negatives to any takeover.  I am optimistic that the acquisition is a win-win situation, as it is portrayed here.  But from the folks I chat with who know both airlines, the benefits to Virgin America fliers are slim to none.  I would still fly Alaska before I'd fly with the "other guys;" but I get this funny feeling that, other than new routes, there's not much in the way of improvements ahead.  I'd like to see the VA cutting edge philosophy "infect" Alaska Airlines, but that's not likely.  If VA could just fly a few times to Anchorage in the summer and show us what they're about (while they can), maybe we would vote with our pocketbooks which "style" we prefer.


It's also her hope that the Christian community will begin to see the refugee crisis and rise of xenophobia as a "perfect opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus."

Exactly!  If we call ourselves Christians we need to welcome these people in need.  If we turn our backs on them then we need to stop calling ourselves Christians.


What coup?

The Catalan members of the Spanish armed forces did not break away and seize power in Catalonia/ Barcelona with armed Catalans seizing control of government offices, the airports, the harbours...the only weapon used was a pencil to mark a ballot and they were beaten up and denied even that.


Unbelievable!


Brock university seems to be on the right track.  It is in the Canadian interest to help graduate education in socially important but politically sensitive fields.  The Turkish example is an important one.  The swing towards totalitarian regimes must be reversed.


When a company has access to a person's entire and up-to-date banking history (as well as other personal information) and is able to deduct payments at the exact same time that grants are paid, it is not an advantage of mere efficient processing. It is an advantage of operating with almost no risk. That is no risk of non-payment and knowing exactly when to stop providing any new services to a captive market (they have access to recipients at pay points and via cell phone). The contract CPS has with SASSA prohibits them from using the recipients' information for anything other than to pay grants.

It seems you haven't been following this story closely? For more details about Net1 and its operations as well as the repercussions of this for recipients, I can recommend the excellent articles written by the author of this article as well as Groundup and amaBhungane.


That is precisely what this argues. People should make their own choices, based on individual preferences, which are distributed differently.

Which may not align with a 50-50 distribution which makes the generalisation that unless there is 50-50 distribution, something is wrong.

Everybody agrees there are many women who will be interested and exceptionally qualified, just not as many as men, but that they should be encouraged, just like men.


Harriet Drummond for Governor! You rock, Good Woman!


From my perch on the left, I've never thought of Crisis as a "great publication", but I have thought of it as a good and decent one.  They may be at a crossroads with this issue and this writer.
For what it's worth: Although it has been a bit uneven over the years, I have generally regarded National Review as a great publication -- especially in the early Buckley years. Of course, I was a conservative then.  I was so much older then; I'm younger than that now. <g>

“A lack of an integrated health-care system, poor education by provincial standards and a largely absent community infrastructure are uniquely positioned against the backdrop of colonialism, racism and social exclusion….”
In my opinion, the coroner correctly identified the missing elements in the community needed in order to make it effectively functional, but to suggest the primary causes are "colonialism, racism and social exclusion" is rather disingenuous and a tepid interpretation of why isolated Northern reserves such as this one are in such a dismal situation. I would expect that there are enough well paid politicians, bureaucrats, FN chiefs and elders, and those who prospering from the "Aboriginal Industry" who can come up with a plan to help these people....throwing more money at this issue is not the solution either....it's time to stop the blame game and tippy toeing around the inconvenient truth....


Wait until the public sector pension defaults start to really roll.

The Dallas police pension is already on the rocks. Cops have been taking early retirement, and pulling their pensions out of the fund, because it's mathematically doomed.


It should be clear to everyone that there is no single problem in this matter. The factors involved are numerous and extend well outside the criminal justice system. Tinkering with the rules of evidence or retraining investigators is not going to fix it.

Mil-Spec Psychological Warfare upon US civilians by the lowest bidder? I hear Russian currency's been on a fire sale for quite some time. Why do we keep trying to put the spotlight on the place and not the actors far closer to home who were involved, engaged, and highly motivated in these brave new anti-democratic campaign tactics? If the Incumbent Establishment goes on talking about this farcically for much longer, why wouldn't we begin to conclude that they necessarily must themselves be somehow 'in' on these attacks against our liberal democratic and free way of life? This has degraded our dignity as Enlightened citizens and it has made us an International laughing stock. That's not on Russia. That's on wealthy English-speaking beast-clowns whose contempt for our Constitution is now completely unbound and dancing mockingly before us all.

If, as it does in Saudi Arabia and several other countries actual enforced civil law, Shariah  law includes death for being a homosexual, that rape can only be proven with the testimony of four (4) male witnesses, that it also takes the testimony of two women to equal the testimony of one man, that women are forbidden to drive, that female sexual mutilation is authorized, that being stoned to death is the punishment for adultery, that a woman cannot be out in public without a male relative,  etc. then Sharia law is totally incompatible with my values.

It is also in conflict with the US Constitution.

It is barbaric.

And that law is enforced in Saudi Arabia and Iran and by ISIS.

These are 13th century barbarians and it is reflected in their legal code and beliefs.

Don't forget, Ige was the head of Pihana Pacific, and he ran that into the ground.  His puppetmaster Ariyoshi even tried to sue the buyers for millions and they lost that suit big-time.  The buyers were able to turn the company around and sold it for hundreds of millions.  Ige was appointed to the Leg. while he worked for Hawaiian Tel as a lobbyist in a blatant conflict of interest.  Can't understand why Ige himself or people think or believe that Ige was a real engineer.  That is an insult to real engineers.


That too, but mostly that he won't be able to just throw people in prison.

CIA Captured Putin’s Instructions to Help Elect Trump


Folly upon folly.


Putin is a communist and not a fascist.  But you are correct in that there is very little difference in communism and fascism; both want absolute state power and no individual liberty or freedom.

Interesting that the Communist Party of the USA political platform so resembles that of the Democratic Party that the CPUSA declines to run its own candidate and always supports the Democratic one.


I bough a 100 shares of CNQ before Jan 2017 and will add oil to my position over the next years as banks become less appealing... like dividends as well but I do not by oil stocks between Jan and May so I am in wait mode to get some more..

Utah. 3 million people with an average consumption of 5 litres of alcoholic beverages a year.


but you didn't risk a penny in getting the oil out of the ground and still don't. The only reason Alaska has a PF, a CBR and a host of other things is because a handful of oil companies risked EVERYTHING to build the infrastructure it took to get oil out of the ground and to market. They still employ thousands of Alaskans, what you want is to have the oil companies shutdown and layoff those Alaskans. You want to talk about a nightmare, wait till that happens. It may be "our" oil but without the infrastructure to move it, it stays in the ground because the oil companies own the infrastructure. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!


Don't look at them.


Berman was the star freeloader greedy-and-selfish moneygrubber at the Manning Conference, where individual prosperity is seen as being Godly and it is only your own fault if you are poor.

Berman would prefer not to say that tax increases are needed because the Harper regime ran the government into the ground and tried to keep it that way with tax cuts, just like Agent Orange is doing now.

Berman needs to realize that the Gordon Gecko greed is good mentality is so 1980s...


The welfare and government funded programs are a democratic push. Not republican.

I applaud my Valley mayor. He's absolutely right. I doubt Walker has looked around at state operations in Wasilla. Where would he suppose we take these cuts? Our DOT is down. There's a handful of people at the DMV and F&G. What else? Snow plow drivers? Pretty sure we have just a few as it takes 2 days after snow stops for them to hit my road. Welfare office? Not many there neither. The program office is low on staff as well. Police and fire are low on numbers.

Walker has no clue what he's talking about, just pointing fingers and signing checks while simulataneously making unrealistic vetoes and reaching in our pockets.

Institute a state-wide 3% general sales tax, no cap. Property excluded. Present mileage tax to septic companies who transport millions of waste to a single-stage treatment facility which is simply dumped in the inlet. How about upgrade our treatment plant instead of building LNG.

Bell Pottinger did not "aid and abet". It was contracted and paid to do a job of work. All this article betrays is a failure to follow the money. Follow the money, name names and nail the culprits. Name the names.


It will no doubt comfort Donny, no matter how bad things get -- his premature and humiliating exit from the Presidency inevitable -- that he will always have his little online fan club, with its beer-drenched brown shirts and supremacist regalia.


Agree!


It is not programmed that way. Driving and actively avoiding collision are two concepts in automation ... I don't think the developers have given that too much thought, it makes things more complicated.


My strategy is plan A and B.
Plan A is noise.
Plan B is my .44 with 320 grain wadcutters.

Practice, practice, practice.

One more hate spewer who has no understanding of the issue whatsoever.


It is getting old.


I like those ideas as well. What concerns me is how trump thinks he can do it. If his previous comments are any indication we should actually be very concerned. How would he quell civil unrest? How would he silence detractors? Why do people assume our basic civil rights that are being bludgeoned to death will survive a trump administration? Today he asks Russia to hack us?! Seriously?! Wow.


Big money behind Doju.  Lots of engineering firms one firm gave 9000, broken up into 3 individuals donating 3000 donations .   private practice attorneys. Few doctors.


OMG haven't we gone over this a million times already. The rail structure is built for rail, not buses, not cars not trucks. Let's not confuse "Out of the Box" with decades old discarded ideas being rehashed over and over again.


Thanks for your comment.  The same post got rejected the first time as "uncivil."  To me, that implies abusive toward other participants in the discussion, which my post isn't.  Your word "insensitive" is better, since making any joke about a tragedy is going to have a shocking effect.  But it really wasn't "insensitive," either, because I intended it to shock.  Jocularity is a timeless reaction to tragedy.  You can find it in Greek tragedy (e.g., Prometheus Bound).  Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" is a classic of the genre.  For contemporary examples, watch some of Quentin Tarantino's movies.


Doesn't make any sense to keep enacting laws that can't/won't be enforced.


Just more special-interest pleading from London. Beyond the mandatory movement of regulated functions, there is no reason why London can't (at least try to keep) most of the deal-making functions there.

From the print edition: Carl Mortished is a Canadian financial writer based in London.


Really you think the American people need more government crack down ? I guess you don't mind licking the governments boots. No liberty for you .


It was a question.


Claims against the state and municipal government entities are subject to the Oregon Tort Claims Act and in state court are subject to the caps on damages listed in the law.  We currently have a $500,000 cap on non-economic damages on the books (Chap 18, ORS) so if the deceased had no job and no economic damages to speak of the claim isn't worth more than the cap ($500K).  In Federal court you could get greater damages and attorney's fees if you could prove some form of a civil rights violation.  Hard to tell where the potential claim in Bend is headed.


I wonder how much we're paying Trump to have Him use his own properties for "business?"


Some of those calling Lynch a bust also said Siemian was the QB of the future for Denver so take that for what you will.

Whether Lynch is a bust or not remains to be seen, but it's time to move on from Siemian who has proven to be as bad as many believed he was.

As for Elway, he needs to figure out why he and his team are incapable of finding good offensive linemen.


That's generally my philosophy, but a cup of cream cheese in the mashed potatoes?


The border wall is good as a symbol-- like the Statue of Liberty, but the opposite. But beyond that it is a waste of money. And that comes from border security experts working for the Trump campaign. Remember the campaign when Trump's experts explained Trump's wall as not a real wall, but a "wall" of electronic monitoring, ground penetrating radar to detect tunneling, drones, increased fleet of helicopters and boats (along the Rio Grande) increased number of special border patrol vehicles, and increased number of border patrol agents and facilities and roads along the border. They said these things would be more effective than a concrete wall and cost less. The wall they (Trump's experts) said would be extremely expensive because it would require road building to get construction material to the remote sites for the wall. The concrete and construction experts retained by Trump said the cost would be in the $20 Billion range-- same as a road from Seattle to Miami and back.


Yep. It seems the alt-right, with their attention span of goldfish, seems to want to declare this thing is "over" before it even began.

Ridiculous.


The PC movement is ripping the country apart.  Now PC advocates are getting a push-back they should have known was coming.

Not get me wrong, I'm all for being considerate, non-harassing, etc., but when PC advocates start rubbing it in everyone's face, then I'll push-back.  People are hurting their own cause and don't even know it.


Incorrect on many counts. You should not be allowed to borrow anything based on the mental capcity stress-test.


Islamic state is taking responsibility for it and patting themselves on the back but it's unlikely that they are directly responsible. It's possible they trolled the sociopath in Nevada on social media. There are crazy people who get talked into doing evil things that way. It worked for Trump. He went on twitter to talk people into voting for him and slanders people who didn't. It's a peer pressure/bullying thing.


And yet he's 10X the leader that Harper was. Go figure.


Please help fund this so that the story changes for those in need. https://www.gofundme.com/Temp-Transitions Thank you


The Boston Tea Party was unpopular at the time. So was the March on Washington, the Freedom Riders, the Montgomery Bus Boycott, MLK, and on and on. To focus on your discomfort with the protestors' method ignores virtually the entire tradition of peaceful protest in the US. It's certainly up to you if you want to disrespect their concerns for the safety of their families because you don't like their method. I don't see how that moves anything forward at all, but to each their own.


Oh, I read that amendment I believe you speak of. Tell me: Do you believe the Founding Fathers went through all of the trouble to amend the Constitution because they want today's people packing in crowded malls, airports  and nightclubs? Or were they wary of lingering British military oppression and wanted to ensure that armed American militias could still form and fight if need be?


Can't coach height.


Mathias: yes, you're correct. I used "legions" incorrectly as a descriptor of the Trump defenders here in the Globe comments. Truly, it is a unit of several thousand in the ancient Roman armies.

RE your assertion that "The focus on Trump and the histrionics around him are truly getting old. Yes, he's largely incompetent and reactionary, but what has he done, for example, that Harper hadn't done before him?"

To that, all I can say is wow. You may be the only person on the planet who would compare a crazy President to an average Prime Minister.

Forward your resume to Sean Spicer, stat!


Yes it is outrageous isn't it. And Trudeau is the chief cheerleader for those doing it. It may be time for this video of Trudeau to make the rounds again:

Your screen eliminates any company whose stock has returned more than 20% over the last year. Why in heaven's name would you want to do this? By doing so, you're simply removing from consideration many of the best investment candidates.
Would you really prefer to invest in a company with a 3.5% dividend yield that grows its dividend by 5% a year over one with a 5% dividend yield that grows its dividend by 10% per year?


Fox presents both sides of an issue. I can't understand why someone would find it interesting or informative to only hear one side of an issue. The press has special privileges but with that comes a responsibility to report the facts fairly.  The MSM unfortunately has an agenda and has taken sides. While to date there hasn't been shown anything with Russia that effected the outcome of the election, the MSM reports and speculates every day, while only Fox reported on the MSM providing questions to Hillary for the debates.  The MSM omits news not favorable to Democrats. Maybe you like what CBS has to say compared with Fox, but it's not reality; there's more to the story. At least Fox has an equal number of liberal/ conservative pundits on the air. You can't say that about the MSM.


No. Mr. Bley is NOT calling you or any other poster names.

He is characterizing Trump and his white-nationalist supporters in a negative way, which SHOULD be protected speech anywhere, here included.


The freedom to have or to do a thing axiomatically includes the freedom to NOT have or to NOT do that thing, else it isn't a freedom.

Therefore, freedom of religion is also freedom FROM religion.


'When one team of researchers interviewed fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders at an urban California high school, they found that more than half of them didn’t know pickles were cucumbers, or that onions and lettuce were plants'.

Anyone living in more rural areas would know chocolate milk doesn't comes from brown cows. Rural area are typically Republican voters. On the other hand urban individuals would be more likely to think something along those lines typically Democrat voters.
Common sense and logic!!


I hope that they don't use the same general contractor that was involved with the construction & delays at the on-going Union Station renovations and York University subway extension.


How do you expect to be taken seriously when you whine and throw a tantrum like a 2 year old?  Your POUTrage has about as much effectiveness as the Cleveland Browns have a chance of making the playoffs in any given year.


What is the point in asking me moronic questions, troll?


But not as much as he admires Fidel. The Chinese have shown a few too many troubling signs of being free market capitalists within the past few decades for Junior's taste.


Gsrys definition of 'troll' is anyone who dissgrees with his leftwing extremist world view.


Ho hum, not the irrational Brooks Spector again.


SteveVickRepoBoy, would it be too much to ask that you check with which gender(s) I identify with?
I would pay you the same courtesy.


President Trump denied the report...gosh, maybe because it wasn't true?  Loved watching Chief of Staff Kelly today, answering the press questions--they didn't get to first base with their BS nonsense.


Where does it state that this tax will fund schools?


Why has Gov. Walker killed the Alaskan smaller oil & gas companies and investors, no one except the majors can find and sell oil for a profit in Alaska and still with his veto he refuses to pay the small oil companies $600 million in earned tax credit with its $60 billion, it is 1/10 of 1%.

I feel the Governor makes Alaska looks like a crooked state, why destroy Alaska's worldwide reputation and attractiveness?

I am sure the Japanese can't be thinking about doing business with people like Bill Walker, I have heard they like honable people!.

It is like one of Bill Walker's law firm clients saying I can't pay my attorney $ 600 dollars owed because times are hard and I only have $6 million in my savings account.

I feel the Governor has stopped Alaskans like bidder's like Rick Wager of Fairbanks from bidding with the lease rental increase of 8,000% in DNR DOG lease sales and other harsh terms!

The DNR DOG has denied 8 for 8 lease extensions that harmed 8 smaller oil companies, why?


Why is Hawaii the only place with no predicted temperature increase?


A form of hazing back in the 60's was called "communist", in this game you were held down by a group, you were asked your name; no matter what name you gave, it was wrong and you, were slapped across the face and humiliated until you cracked. This brutal game was intended to graphically teach that communism was all about violent repression of individualism. The Communist Chinese are still playing the same old game and it seems our leaders want to play.


Trump’s budget plan does not make deep cuts in safety net programs; it simply is removing hammocks from the programs.


She also probably admonished you to look both ways, maybe even look both ways twice.  Too many kids nowadays are so self-absorbed and think the whole world revolves around them.


May God be with their souls and families.


Meh, they have great stuff, but I already buy it online.
Can't imagine driving across town for it..


An elephant is not mentioned in the article.

Mainstream media has failed (hello CBC, Toronto Star, Globe and Mail) to assure viewers they are receiving reporting that aspires to be balanced and objective.

Look, no kidding, when viewers realize, from everyday observations, the big media outlets are not giving straight goods, they will naturally seek alternative (often dubious) information sources.

Examples of media bias?

1. Selectively reporting protests. I favour liberal abortion access for Canada, but city drivers know anti-abortion activists hold periodic protests. The media ignore them - yet activists from Black Lives Matter (and various minority/gender groups) get covered all the time. Why so SELECTIVE?

2. The South China Morning Post investigating, YEARS before ANY Canadian journalists, the connection between Vancouver house prices and overseas money.

3. CENSORING away race/ethnicity identities with crime, EMPHASIZING them when good works are done.

Other examples, anyone?


It is hilarious to watch the defenders of tax "fairness" talk about how people shouldn't be using tax "loopholes" to pay less tax.  Unless they are hiding their money in off-shore accounts to avoid taxes, none of these "loopholes" are illegal or even unfair.

Personally, I make no-where near enough money to be affected by this, but I take every strategy in the book to reduce my tax burden as much as possible every year.  It is every citizen's right to use the avenues that are provided to us, and access to those avenues are what create actual fairness.

I don't begrudge rich people lowering their taxes owing.  They just do what every reasonable citizen does, only on a larger scale.  That is only fair.


Drain the swamp. The last thing we needed was obstructionism and personal agendas to delay progress.

The people voted in mayor Kirk. He has promised to continue what has been started against all opposition. (ben).

Souki (84) should settle in retirement while making way for a replacement with fresh new vivid ideas and solutions to our ever growing problems here in Hawaii. The man has served Hawaii and we appreciate his dedication.

We need new LEADERSHIP. Long overdue.


Oh for sure. They had me fooled all the way.


They had their chance to give their reasons. They are quoted in the story. Sounds pretty flimsy. Bottom line: the government can do whatever it wants and there's not a thing you can do about it, except take it and hope you aren't physically injured during the interrogation process.


No mention of how the Trudeau Liberals quietly reduced the maximum TSFA contribution from $10000 to $5500?
Another way the middle class is going to be hurt, not helped, by the Liberals.
Add to this the elimination of income splitting for couples with children, the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit, the Children’s Arts Tax Credit, the Education Tax Credit and the Textbook Tax Credit, and the coming carbon tax...


'Who knew that the healthcare was so complicated.."
DJT


She was not with her pod. They are in Iceland.


Only a few countries such as Russia and the US really ever cracked the technology for making “unitary” Sarin that had any kind of useful shelf-life. The main chemical reaction that produces Sarin creates 1 molecule of hydrogen fluoride, a potent and dangerous acid, for every molecule of Sarin. This residual HF destroys nearly anything the Sarin is stored in, and quickly degrades the agent.  The US and the former USSR made a huge effort to find a way out of this problem.  They found different ways to refine the HF out of the Sarin using very expensive chemical engineering techniques.

Furthermore, The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons inspections after Syria’s accession to the Chemical Weapons Convention in 2013 revealed a variety of fixed and mobile mixing apparatus for making binary nerve agents.. Syria either did not develop such techniques or decided it was far cheaper, safer, and easier to stockpile binary components for a “mix it as you need it” process.


How so? You're free to hike into wilderness anytime you like.


Well so do I, but that has nothing to do with multiculturalism in CANADA since those rules certainly don't apply here in CANADA.
In short, how well do Muslims integrate in CANADA? Is sharia law just around the corner?
And who is out to lunch?


Gonegolfing said "In todays business world"? Dude, this is the political world of which trump has no business.


Um, a crown attorney is not actually controlled by the Queen.


"contacts between Trump’s team and Russian officials raise questions about the possibility of mutual assistance"

This statement is the new era of McCarthyism.


Punished for doing the right thing.  90% of U.S. wild salmon comes from the area Pebble wants to destroy.  This is a straight up Midas decision.  Do you want everything you touch to turn to gold or do you want to eat?


Might is pretty open ended. I used to live in Winnipeg's west end neighborhood. Great part of town, close to many amenities and the airport. It's also very ethnic between Vietnamese, Philippino and African ethnicities which is excellent because of all the different restaurants but it is also becoming run down with crime. The crime is not from the Asian gangs it's from the Somali gangs fighting it out with the Aboriginal gangs.

My house was broken into twice as well as my car (3 times) so maybe I did have them over.


No surprises...Justin is simply built for success.  He's excelled in every endeavor he's undertaken including his school work, believe he was a 4.0 student as well.  He has been blessed with an amazing family and support network including amazing Coaches and Teaches who absolutely loaded with quality, high integrity, hard working people.   With all that he has going for him,  he is genuinely a great kid  who doesn't has his nose in the air and no, I'm not related, just proud as heck of this amazing young man who will excel in something more important than football which is life....though he is an amazing FB player.


Stunning! After last night, they showed no sign of fatigue. They instead took it to
#13 Utah throughout the game - a total team effort. Onward to the NCAA's!


Wow, sounds like somebody was always picked last to play sandlot football with his buddies


if the democrats want to win they need to

1) Stop being pro-illegal immigration and start promoting legal immigration instead. Get tough on illegal immigrants who murder people. Instead of finding excuses or justifications. Promote legal immigration and stop encouraging or excusing illegal immigration.

2) Stop with the social justice warrior nonsense. This is just becoming attacks on free speech and killing the exchange of reasonable ideas that promote a country to grow intellectually.

3) Related to #2... but stop searching for things to be offended by

4) Stop hating/disrespecting the military. Even Obama warned his side of the spectrum to stop doing this in one of his final interviews.

5) ISIS/Al-Qaeda and Boko Harem are NOT your misunderstood friends. And everybody knows that All Muslims are not terrorists. But be realistic about the threat. and make this CLEAR to the public you feel this way

If they did this... then the Republicans would have nothing to stand on and would lose


All in all, it sounds like the folks in Nome where a heck of lot my civil and friendly then some of the committers on this article.


they are NOT ideologues, they are arrogant self taught amateur yahoos.


Watch out for Zika, Danny Bay.


Conscience is about personal situations. Challeging teaching because it is divergent from reality, scientific or otherwise, is prophesy.


Says the guy who can't distinguish 'then' --a conjunctive adverb and 'than'--a comparative adjective.


As long as united PC & WR keeps it together there will be a huge success in less than 2 years. All that has to be done is to keep the ship steady & make sure it stays united (if it actually does unite).

Even without union chances for NDP look bleak - they are trailing right now at #3 in popular vote after WR and PC.


I only wonder before this unfortunate decision was made if it was considered to simply add space for more letters.     Perhaps an extra page once a week to clear the back log of 250 word articulate letters.      I find the letters page is one of the most interesting in the paper.


A 23 year old who deliberately posts that type of comment should be held accountable.  Youthful foolishness?  He is not a 12 year old kid - he is an adult.  There are other ways to challenge someone when you disagree.  Freedom of speech is one thing but when you think it is funny to deliberately post a death threat that has the potential for serious consequences.  Regardless of how we view Mr. Traini as a public figure, telling him he will be assassinated should NEVER be something we overlook as simply youthful foolishness.  The daily news tells us how often these threats are signs that something could have been prevented.  Glad it was reported.


Boy - you just can't shut these two up, can you?

Maybe go take another vacation Obamas - I hear the Aga Kahn has a nice place.


first the senate has to be controlled in the majority by democrats and the way things are going none of us will be alive to ever see that again.


Colleges should not be supported by state and still gouge students every year with rising tuition. They are not paid for unpopular thoughts. Same as news anchors giving opinions instead of sticking to facts and let us decide what to accept. Keep the thoughts to themselves and teach skills. Thats the problem with colleges today, they are more interested in pushing opinions and their agendas, students in streets protesting crap instead of class.They are there to help prepare students for their fields of work they choose to support them in the real world.  Who wants to pay for opinions. Just because a person gets a professor job doesn't mean students/parents need to pay high costs for their opinion. Its school,  a change to get a degree in a field of the students choice. Opinions don't get degrees and students shouldn't have to waste their time listening to some pontificating teacher's opinion on the class or world. Why buy books when teacher is giving their opinions as education.


Deal with it as it happens.  As and when the Dumpster lowers the US tax take we can follow suit.  The US is so far in debt at present after 15 years of non-stop war we should be able to out do them in tax reductions.  Sure our national debt will rise but not as fast as theirs.  If he is to believed, the Dumpster will start many such races to the bottom so why try to anticipate it?  Better to wait and see what he actually does and be quick to match it.


Looking forward to the next prov election in ON!  wow oh wow.  Libs: 2 seats


Just a reminder re education and textbook deductions. While they are still allowed for the 2016 tax year, they are being eliminated in 2017.

I don't like how the word "racism" has come to be equated with "racial bias". Back in the civil rights era, there were plenty of racists. These were people with a willful ideological belief in the supremacy and separateness of the white race, and a political agenda to implement and perpetuate it through legal, political, and institutional means. While such racism as an ideological belief is surely not dead, I believe that it has greatly declined.

But today we are willing to call someone a "racist" when they have an unconscious racial bias. And indeed, the studies cited in the article show that that includes almost everybody. I believe that this is an unfortunate cheapening of the term "racist". I am not saying that we should not fight unconscious biases, only that there is a big difference between such biases and racism as a belief.


Well... there is really only one way for Trump to outdo himself now, and it is really precisely what everyone has been afraid of since the beginning of his candidacy for president.


It would be sweet for Trudeau to escape investigation, you say?

Why? Is he above the law?


Mr. munger is justifying violence because he doesn't agree with something.  Sad, very sad.


Your claim is false. The Caledon firefighters are unionized. They're members of the International Firefighters Association, Local 4686.

That means that while Mandy Gould enjoys the protection of the IFFA Local 1068 in Brampton, she's jeopardizing the jobs of the union members at Local 4686 by doing their work for free.

EVERYONE has the choice of whether or not to be a union member. If you don't want to be a member, take up employment in a non-union environment.


Ok correct me if I'm wrong here.  But have native Hawaiians really existed in these islands for millennia?  How can you prove that it wasn't just the last 700 years?   I don't mind being wrong, but just wondering about your statement.
My second point and once again, I don't mind being wrong if I am.  But over this "mellenia" or what ever time period, wasn't the idea of a unified Hawaii government across all islands was just a small fraction of history where kamehameha I basically bullied his way through the islands often by bloody take over of the native people of those islands that fought to be independent of his rule?  So it is not like the American take over was he first hostile take over of the people that existed here for over this "mellenia" was it?  Correct me if I'm wrong, but your picture of history doesn't quite tell the real story to me.


Another entertaining game.  Matthews almost got the hat trick.  Again, when the game is on your stick, you need to bury the chances.  Price played well and came up big as he is known.  Progress is never a straight line as the Leafs are illustrating that concept.  Fun to watch a meaningful game between the Leafs and Habs this late in the season, something that has not happened in a while.


liberals.....hypocrites who truly practice the politics of division


Well, the Russians and Chinese don't seem to think it is a myth, although I will grant you that the newer versions of the GE and geared turbo-fan engines appear to be improving.

Still, the Americans, and everybody else has nothing like the engine capability of the Russian planes, nor the range, nor the thrust.


PMINZ: I don't know about "thousands" but yes, I agree.  SHOPO will love the idea and the cops will like the overtime.  Still cheaper in the long run than what we do now with these sweeps and the cost to the damaged infrastructure, public health and the quality of life.


When her daughter died at 2PM, , there were no or only a few white supremacists there at the intersection.  The KKK, racist crowd had already dispersed around 11AM,  much to the disappointment of the left wing mob.  It was a mix  of young radical students, leftists, Antifa goons and anti Trump protesters with baseball bats, shields, helmets, facemasks, dressed in black, fully prepared to engage in mindless violence.  Most of the damage to the car was from the antiTrump thugs with baseball bats. The car crash was completely despicable, but they were not humble pilgrims in search of world peace. Trump was correct to identify the violence from both sides. But as they say “One man's terrorist is another man's Antifa.”.


Driver's responsibility is safety. Eyes on the road. The most dangerous thing most people will ever do in their lifetime, is drive a vehicle. If you want to view scenery, be a passenger.


Just ban any Rally, and allow free speech to be expressed via the University media systems. The Uni has an obligation to stay nuetral on all issues.  It is a forum of free expression and debate.  To pick and choose who can express certain idea makes them hypocrates.  It goes against the premiss of any University and its very diversity.  Ban them all or allow them all.


You cut costs by eliminating overhead.  Healthcare insurance is 100% overhead costs.


Well, the establishment media declared Hillary Clinton a winner too, way before the election, so we'll see....


deflection? you act like a parrot that repeats things without thought. My post is about the staggering shameless hypocrisy of the left, and how once again it is only evil if anyone else does it. I am intellectually honest to a fault, it is evil when any one does it. Therein, let's put on our thinking caps like in 1st grade, and answer me this grade school question: what logical reason would I have to deflect from that which I say is evil for anyone to do? here's another grade school question for you to consider: could it possibly be my point wasn't to deflect, but drive home the point it is evil when everyone does it, and let's stop this double standard you always puke on this board?
 There will be attest this Friday Mr. Teacher


But the characteristics being profiled are not causative of crime. And, voila, you have what is known as racism and racial profiling. You're a slow learner.


Yep - a clue that his own egocentricity may surpass even Donald Trump.


Isn't it odd that every picture printed on these pages of our President is a bad one?
Not really. Never would have done that to Hillary. Just hate that the Dems lost the election.
