I have no idea where these challenges will go but I can feel the growing frustration that many Canadians feel with regard to 'First Nations'. While I believe there is still much empathy for aboriginals as a people, I believe that respect for the 'First Nations' leadership is dwindling rapidly. Their opposition to these projects does nothing to help most rank and file native people. It is simply a self-serving shake-down scheme wherein the few get wealthy and the remainder are relegated to the status quo. It is not good for Canada and it is certainly not good for indigenous Canadians.


"Package is OK; content minimal"  Thought that the other day listening to some stuff by Van Halen.

How Do you Know When It's Love: aurally, fabulous.  Lyrically?  Ehhh...

Same could be said for hundreds of "songs" produced over the last 20 years or so.  Make that, "half-century", 'cuz you have to include dozens of "dance" hits including the Contours' "Do You Love Me" ("Watch me now!") and Nobody But Me, the 1967--The Human Beinz, hit in which the single word "No" must be repeated 50 times, and in fact, becomes song's memorable background chant. Ahh, but the package!


I'd like everyone who told people they were in mortal sin because they voted for a pro-choice candidate to apologize now.


Isn't China persuasive enough? One would think they have the power to give ultimatums.


The "pie" isn't fixed in its size.  The example of not cutting spending is what the Ds did to Reagan in the 80s.  Both of the major parties stink. I can tolerate the Freedom Caucus (Rs) and that's about it.


I suggest that you read up a bit on the history. There is a mnemonic about the fates of Henry VI's wives: "Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded, survived." Henry VIII beheaded two of his wives, Anne Boleyn (on trumped-up charges) and Catherine Howard (on quite legitimate charges -- adultery by the queen was treason under the statute). Of the others, two were divorced (one for non-consumation), one died in childbirth and the sixth outlived him.

Henry actually had solid grounds for an annulment. His father, Henry VII, arranged a marriage between his eldest son, Arthur, and Catherine of Aragon. A few months afterwards, Arthur died. The king wanted to keep the Catherine's dowry (over a million in today's currency, which would have had to be repaid out of the Privy Purse). So he decided to marry his second son, Henry, to Catherine. There was a problem: Under Church marriage law, one cannot marry one's deceased spouse's sibling.


I'm waiting for Wynne to publish her book - "Election Buying For Dummies"  I can't believe this is still happening and allowable.  What a disgrace she and her party have become.  No sincerity, no authenticity.  Only what can I do to stay in power.  Shameful


according to stats Canada, 70% of Canada's imports came from the US.   And 78% of Canada's exports went to the US.


try calling HPD or state sheriff when you see homeless tents etc etc.  nothing gets done! NOTHING, fricken homeless setting up tents right in front of them guys drinking their coffee.  i seen it with my own eyes, at ala moana park, these park workers and don't do nothing. they just pick up rubbish around these losers.  if all our parks are closed at night, thank how come these bums can sleep in the parks,  because no one is doing their jobs.
round um all up with a homeless team and take drop them off at sand island.  the reason they don't want to go is they don't like listening or following rules/laws. many are druggies who are hiding and love to break the laws and give others a hard time. round um up, all mainland bums, send them back, locals bums send them to sand island. make them work, if they refuse then send to kahoolawe with water and leftover foods from fast food or restaurants.  they remind me of rats!!! yuck, we all work too hard to waste our money on lazy bums.


No surprises here.  Studies have always shown that those with college degrees fare better economically than those without.  More interesting was the stat that those who went to college out of state rarely returned.  But again no surprise as there are more diverse job opportunities out of state.

You give conservatives a bad name. Go away


That's the biggest straw dog I have ever seen! "the United States and all its emissions could disappear tomorrow.." Well of course if you start with that premise, of course bad things would happen, but some good as well, right? For instance, the single largest greenhouse gas emitter would be gone. The biggest war engine in the world would be gone, along with many of the wars that justify its existence. But that is an artifice you use to prop up your arguments, and it is fraudulent.

I don't believe the US feeds half the world, and I think that's an outrageous statement. The US has 4.3% of the world's population. Half the world is about 3.75 billion, or nearly 12 times US population. You are saying that 3.75 billion people depend on the US for food. That is not categorically true. Also, it's beside the point, the point being, that as either the worst or second-worst polluter, if the US does nothing about greenhouse gas emissions, it's game over for the climate.


It is simply about upholding law.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau worded it perfectly, in regards to their border, and unlawful 'migrants' migrating there, I think.

"Canada is an opening and welcoming society, but let me be clear. We are also a country of laws" Trudeau said..."There are rigorous immigration and customs rules that will be followed. Make no mistake."
http://www.dailywire.com/news/20015/canadian-pm-justin-trudeau-would-prefer-you-not-emily-zanotti#exit-modal

In my opinion, that was our mistake years before-failing to enforce our very good immigration rules and laws.  We welcome immigrants as we should of course, but until today, we failed to legally address all who are illegally here.  So here we are now.

Some of these measures are not bad IF they are reciprocol and consistent across the agreement. And if the US drops it's subsidies to farmers or we can tariff to the extent of their subsidies, then it is hard to argue with dropping marketing boards. On huge problem, the effective subsidy given to US aircraft and defense firms via all that military spending they do and the way they dictate interoperability. The question is, does Trump want fair trade or just US dominance at the expense of fairness? Odds are the latter, but if he can be convinced of the former, a reasonable negotiated agreement is possible under these parameters.


Why should I feel shame for something done by someone else 6,7 or even 12 decades ago?

It's the term they are urged to use in their handbook.  It sounds cutesy.


Some good points.  But you can point out crime with guns in any big city and the response by those who want stricter gun laws will be the same.  They will divert the discussion any way they can because "guns are the problem."  Chicago is the point of discussion because it has so much black on black crime that liberals don't want to talk about.  And so much murder almost daily.  BTW, if you want to offer a web site other than wiki, I will be glad to take a look.


This would have made international headlines if the situation was the other way around.


You're creating a false dilemma. The simple fact is that employers are hiring anybody who they can get. The employer may not provide health insurance and that may be due to the mandated types of coverage.


The Nats' average of 6.13 innings per start out of their starters is the best in the majors right now; they and SF are the only teams averaging six innings per start (and what good has it done the Giants?). More than half the teams in baseball fall somewhere between 5.5 and 6.0 innings average per start, with the Rockies ranked 8th overall (5th in the NL) at 5.6 innings per start. So while it's obviously good to teach young pitchers to pitch more economically and get deeper into games, the Rockies are nowhere near the point where this has been a major issue for them, in fact they're better than most right now. Everybody struggles to get through six innings these days, which is why bullpens are such a huge component in today's game.

Another bullpen arm to replace Ottavino or Dunn would be a huge help, it would allow everybody below them in the bullpen pecking order to slide down a spot and would push somebody like Lyles or Oberg out of the 'pen entirely.


If there were 100 guns in the house properly secured, a child would not be in intensive care.  A gun can't secure itself, a person has to do that.  The problem is, an adult didn't secure the gun.

This is a negligent parent issue, not a gun issue.  We're done here.

Grandparents and Grandchildren are not close relatives? What strange corner of the universe did this come out of?

In principle, this is the right direction, but there is far too much generalization. For example, someone with one DUI conviction does not necessarily "have alcohol issues". I know more than one person who have never had a DUI, but are falling down drunk a significant portion of the time. On the other side of the coin, I know people with a DUI that rarely drink and are never obviously drunk. Similar issue with restraining orders. They can be placed for numerous reasons, some involving violence and others not.
If we, as a society, start trying to place people in buckets regarding their morals and propensity for violence, there are bound to be countless mistakes made, not to mention the questionable constitutionality.


Settle down.  Nobody is honestly talking about eliminating our universal health care.  The talk is about improving it by providing some capitalism.  A hybrid system can work and it can be even better than we have now.  It just needs to be crafted properly and carefully to ensure that such a system improves for all, and that access isn't improved for some at the expense of the poor.  It can be done.

How convenient that you start the quote with the portion of the statement IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING: "In view of the PASTORAL nature of the Council, it avoided extraordinary statements of dogmas endowed with the note of infallibility..". Moreover, according to the translation I'm reading, you also misquote him: The pope said only the "authority of the ordinary magisterium", NOT the "supreme authority". You further misquote by adding the adverb "obviously" before "authentic". The pope never said "obviously authentic", only "authentic". You really ought to familiarize yourself with the degrees of authority attributable to the theological note the Church attributes to ach teaching.


Classless Canadian. In addition, conduct unbecoming of a team captain. The Ducks should strip the C from him.


You're correct, but that's apples and oranges. You're referencing overall crime, the other poster was talking about homicide. Our current homicide rate, while higher than the national average, is nowhere near the highest nationwide.

And, as noted, the risk of homicide is not evenly distributed within any given overall population. If you aren't associated with people involved in drug trafficking and gang activity, and aren't in an ongoing violent domestic relationship, your risk of being a homicide victim is very low.  Even in a city like Chicago, much less Anchorage.

Some fruit and particularly some vegetables just don't taste good to children.  As they get older some of these fruits and vegetables actually start to taste good to them.  I know this because my son had to have a "no thank-you" helping (one small taste) of everything that was served.  He has told me often how glad he is that we did the "no thank-you" helpings because a lot of the foods he didn't like early on, he now really likes.  For years when he was a child, he would only eat the vegetable corn.  Now he has a wide variety that he enjoys.  Same with fruit.  I think the key is to not force children to eat things that just don't taste good to them.  The "no thank-you" helping is very, very small and pretty painless so the child doesn't feel the need to rebel against it.


I'm not talking about the media. Yes, I'm well aware of the Assad, Puntin and Iran's unrealistic "expectation." That was the gist of my comment.

Thanks for this excellent piece.  Sadly, the over regulation of nuclear energy is not likely to be removed by the Trump administration.  The NRC was created by an act of Congress and it will take Congress to reign it is.  That is not likely to happen even with Republicans in the majority.  Congress is controlled by special interest groups.  The producers of natural gas, the petroleum industry, is a lobby more powerful than any other and they do not want to compete with nuclear on a level playing field.   Prior to the creation of the NRC the U.S. built close to 100 nuclear power plants in about 15 years.  The coal industry was the only significant organization opposed to nuclear at that time.   Now the petroleum industry will ensure the NRC continues its work.

I see no documents to substantiate your opinion. Obviously you have not been to Washington DC and studied our history. Yes, America is founded on Godly principles. That's why you can enjoy your freedom to speak  your opinion without any basis of proof.  We all must remember that Muslim is not a race of people but a religion. These wonderful people come from many ethnic backgrounds. They live in almost every nation on the earth and come to America fleeing from persecution. Can they worship along side Christian's in America? Yes, they do everyday. Muslims, Christian's, and every other religion have far more in common than those that insight hate and discord. We value and honor all life, every person is important, and there is allot of love that goes around.

Inner city schools have plenty of money?????  In what universe?
The suburban public schools that have good funding do very well by their students.  Inner city schools, with many poor children do not have nearly enough money to provide the services necessary.  Public schools in many parts of the country, which have significant working class poor populations usually do not have the funds (and often also lack the sufficiently talented administrators) to provide the services that the children need to succeed.


I feel strongly that the "thrill seeking" son was going to find a way to get in the news somehow.  Could have easily seen a story on how HFD personnel and rescue helicopters had to scour some closed hiking trail in order to rescue him.  Father probably would've blamed landowner, and HFD personnel for not getting there soon enough.


That would depend on whether Trump does something as great as organizing and inspiring a years-long series of marches, protests, and voter registration drives culminating in the end of racially segregated public facilities in the US. Now Dr. King is an icon representing racial equality, which is still, almost fifty years after King's assassination, a work in progress. So, King isn't just history, he symbolizes a struggle that is still central to our national identity as a "great melting-pot". What great, transcending national turning-point (and it would have to be for the better to compare with King's achievement), do you think Trump might inspire and lead?

And remember, Ronald Reagan associated with known members of the American Communist Party, and tried to join the party, in 1937. However, Reagan made no significant, essential and lasting changes to our country, as King did.


The political right survived 8 years of Obama's "insane executive orders".

I posted (to HUGE down voting) during that time - as the left was cheering Obama's executive orders - that this was a dangerous precedent, and that they should be very careful, because at some point, SOMEBODY ELSE would be sitting in the Oval Office, signing these.

Now, somebody else has "a phone and a pen" -  the shoe is on the other foot, and the left is howling.

Trudeau, too.


Regarding: "The court ruled that the administration's main argument — that the travel ban is needed to improve vetting procedures to stop would-be terrorists from entering the country — is at its "peak" when applied to foreigners who have no ties to the U.S."
- So, are these improved vetting procedures ready to go? Have those concerned been actually improving the vetting procedures while waiting for Trump to finish twitter venting about the judges and the courts?
- Improving vetting should not wait for grand standing in the east wing of the public housing on Pennsylvania Avenue. Better that improvements are continual and shared with our allies.
- If not, then the 2 executive orders where only political flim flam of a despotic nature.
- More important; the Chief Executive makes sure that there are enough resources to help integrate the refugees, asylum seekers, and immigrants into USA society with an understanding of the Constitution of the USA.

Just a reminder for everyone: the polls immediately following the conventions mean even less than usual. The conventions are intended to stoke emotions, and polling right after them picks up a lot of in-the-moment feelings that tend to settle back to a baseline a couple of weeks later.


"Kipchoge’s time didn’t go down as an official world record, sanctioned by the IAAF, due to variables like pacers entering mid-race and drinks being given to runners via mopeds."
"It wasn’t a road race, with runners completing 17.5 laps around the 1.5-mile Monza Formula One track. The Breaking2 project was held on the 63rd anniversary of Roger Bannister breaking the four-minute mile in 1954."

Despite the impressive result, it is not a marathon, but just a marathon-distance run. Bannister broke the record in an actual race, not a non-race special event.

"The country deserves better."

What the country deserves is its $305 million back. If Oracle is admitting culpability, they should gladly give it back, right? I mean, it must be all their fault, the R-G says so. It couldn't have anything to do with the Democrat controlled bureaucrats in the State of Oregon constantly shifting and adding requirements throughout the project. It couldn't have anything to do with the 20,000 page ObamaCare law and regulations that only Democrats passed and signed into law. It couldn't have anything to do with the Democrats ruling Oregon who were mismanaging the project and Oracle's performance. No, it's only the Republicans that are bad for bringing all of this up at an inconvenient time to purposely make the Democrats look bad. Poor misunderstood Democrats. Can't Republicans just understand that this could have happened to anyone? Didn't this happen in all the other states? Why are Republicans always picking on the poor misunderstood Democrats?

Axel, that's an interesting if only intermediate, suggestion.  The problem is, though, that you're working from the fundamental assumption that money is the answer to all of life's problems.  I'd suggest that we need to separate the problems of ensuring sustenance from the problems of satisfying our desire for a personally fulfilling, socially satisfactory and useful life.  There's a big difference between  "having a career", working for a living, and enjoying a good life.


Not every kid is carrying cash.  Or has a credit card.


Actually Richard, as of Saturday's count (and they're still counting as I write this) Hillary Clinton got 63,390,669 votes to Donald Trump's 61,820,845. That's 1,569,824 more votes for her than for him. The only way that Trump won was because he got help from the Electoral College (it's kind of like Affirmative Action). So if I were you I wouldn't be using your argument too often. 1.6 Million more Americans wanted Hillary Clinton to be president than Trump.


I haven't seen anywhere that the President specifically called out Ms Heyer as antifa, BLM, or similar.  If her mother assumed Trump was talking about her daughter when he pointed out that there were violent counter protesters present, maybe there's a reason.  I have no idea one way or the other.

Our government brings in more than enough money to cover the infrastructure needs of having cities and towns outside of major urban centers. They have a spending problem and before people start pointing their fingers at the rate payers who buy these house that seem so detestable, they first ought to be pointing at our government and demanding they get their spending in order. Iv no desire to live in an apartment and certainly not just because our government has decided to plead broke on building and maintaining infrastructure to my family home all the while squandering money away on social welfare projects and vote buying schemes. Toronto has declared itself a sanctuary city and provides a comfortable life to anyone who happens to show up there. I'm not resigning myself to live in a box just because our government has decided to use the money meant for infrastructure on other priorities.

"They’re mad at the rich people who don’t seem to have to worry about sharing. "

Lee, the word "rich" is thrown around a lot in these kind of articles and blogs. Can you define what exactly qualifies as rich? Is it a dollar amount? Is it the ability to stay above water financially? Is it just getting by by living just above the poverty line, is it have an extra hundred bucks at the end of the month to put away for a rainy day? Is it not having a mortgage because you've struggled to get it paid off?......what exactly is the definition of "rich"

I'm kind of thinking the rich are people ripe for extortion by our elected leaders. Thoughts?

Sounds like American history ended in the 1950s.

Its laugh out loud hilarious to listen to a republican give a party history lesson...they always skip over the part where all the Dixiecrats and a whole bunch of other Democrats changed parties in the 60s. because Republicans opposed the voting rights and civil rights acts and the Democratic party mostly supported both. It isn't revisionist history, its history elimination.

No thinking person falls for this nonsense...but its pathetic that some republican still try to push the con. The republican party has for the better part of 2 generations been the comfortable home of the most bigoted and racist among us...and on that point there is no debate.

Those who oppose the Kinder Morgan decision are not really concerned about a hollow pipe in the ground. Rather, they have an ideological bent against the oil sands and see denying the construction of a pipeline as a way to meet their objectives. With all due respect, and I do respect their right to dislike the decision, they would be better off and more honest focusing on ensuring Canada meets its emission targets. THAT is the issue, not a hollow pipe in the ground


Yeah, like you were ever going to vote for Murkowski.  You've been criticizing her for months, Pepe.

Thou shalt spend thy money (not mine) on social programs and be compassionate even if thou go into deficit and debt
Thou shalt be politically correct, diverse, inclusive and not marginalize

"This week, the bill was clarified to state that it would not allow date-stamping specifically; leaving the door open for expiration for reasons other than “the passage of time alone.” "

And there's the kicker.

They'll still figure out a way to f  k us (their customers) but it will be in a more sneaky, subtle manner then an expiry date.


I thought vote buying is illegal


You need to follow the news.
Obama's no longer president.

Trump better start getting his act together and stop getting advice on how to blow up government by stiffiing the poor so he can give the rich bigger tax breaks.


Ah, football season.

1. Sorry, sisters.  There is nothing in the Catholic faith against the building of national infrastructure or the transport of natural gas, no matter how much you disagree with it.  It's not a religious freedom issue.  You'd probably have been better served by taking a different legal tack.
2. Painting the blocking of travel from certain Muslim-majority nations and others that are Catholic or atheist majority is not a Muslim ban... it is a travel ban.  As a consultant I see any number of Muslims from various countries (Pakistan, UK, Saudi, UAE, Indonesia) at meetings on a regular basis in the US.  These have no trouble entering the country multiple times.
3. I do hope that Mr. Perez and others are able to find a way to remain in the country.  While I'm against citizenship if your first act is to break the law, I am for finding a way to allow those who have otherwise been model residents a means of remaining.
4. Why is the Occupy movement against science?  Do they reject AGW as well?


It sounds like it is time to get rid of our dairy system, high prices for milk lead to higher prices for cheese. Dump the quota system, set a minimum quality for milk and animal care/treatment then let the market decide. Maybe include a cap on any companies market share so they cannot control the market and establish a new cartel.


No doubt Trudeau will virtue-signal Canada into insolvency.


Skip, read what I said. The law does not keep legal immigrants in the nation. It simply doesn't automatically strip away an affirmative defense in immigration proceedings. They can still be deported.


It should be a choice, not a mandatory program.


I think Mr. Kenney maybe the first leader to directly connect the federal Conservatives with the Alberta Conservative Party ( it was never a secret) despite one dropping progressive and the other adding united.
I find his advice to Andrew Scheer about leadership, bizarre.
I agree with him, that Stephen Harper was 'not terribly popular' as leader at the beginning; but he was worse than 'not terribly popular' in the end of his leadership of Canada.
Is this the path Mr. Scheer should follow?
Mr. Harper could not get a pipeline built in his own province,
remember Keystone?
Now Mr. Kenney threatens the new BC government with 'repercussions'
if it doesn't cooperate on pipelines.
Leadership requires diplomacy skills, Mr. Kenney.
We can't wait another ten years, while Conservative leaders get better than terrible.

What a load of nonsense, two hundred heavy trucks hauling water daily is hardly "clean". And Nestle's objective isn't to improve conditions for the working man, it's profit full stop. Bottled water is just another tax on the stupid.


Sergey Lavrov is a sophisticated, tough, veteran of world affairs. Rex Tillerson is a dated Colonel Blimp, wooden, artless, way out of his league.
Tillerson: "You must end your support for the Assad regime."
Lavrov: "No"

U.S. foreign affairs in the hands of the Game Show Host President and Colonel Blimp, what a joke.  Thank God they have Jared Kushner to lend his gravitas to the situation.


Sweet, here's my attempt: another example of government overreach.  Freedom ain't free.  Big government is killing jobs/the small town entrepreneur.  Supply and demand.  Don't tread on me.  Trump/Palin.

Status-quo is good for Canada, so it's so much the better if Trump doesn't follow through.

However, I believe that Trump can score an easy win if he cancels NAFTA but keeps/reactivates the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement.  Or tries to, if it turns out he doesn't have that authority as President (which most US commentators, at least at the moment, seem to suggest he has).

Who in the US will go to bat, politically, for free trade with Mexico?  Talk about a walking piñata!  Haha.

I think it's unlikely the Canadian government would withdraw from free trade in a pique over the US cancelling free trade with Mexico - nor would it be in Canada's interest despite some good reporting by the Globe and Mail on the disadvantages of FTA vs. NAFTA.


You would think that a Canadian research and analysis firm like Recognia would know CGI Group is a large Canadian technology company headquartered in Montreal.


If Ontario needs to make cuts, lets begin by cutting the salary of every Liberal MPP, starting with Kathleen Wynne.

You're the one that is backwards. Individual transporters will always be with us, regardless of the power source. If you want to ride your bicycle, or smelly bus, go right ahead, but don't expect everyone to follow your lead.


The only Trump supporter in Canada's tactics :

1/Use multiple anonymous names.

2/Post lies over and over again in ECHO chamber style.

3/Villify minorities and the poor.

4/When confronted with the inconvenient truth that Americans are far more likely to die as a result of their own gun or the gun of another American than a terrorist attack, go back to point #1

"Are the the authors making the case that the modern concept of nationhood status confers upon Indigenous peoples a separate set of rights based upon their own laws and legal traditions, and that the SCC has no status in Indigenous affairs...?"
That is exactly how I read the authors case.
In fact this could be taken a step further, that what we presently call the Government of Canada including the Supreme Court does not have a legal right to exist. And laws and legal traditions of First Nations control Canada.


Time to reduce demand by imposing an auto 20% withholding tax on all foreign wealth flowing into canada. This would apply to all wire transfers, suitcases stuffed with cash,intra company transfer,etc. Only once a party has shown that they have paid an 'equivalent' amount of tax to canadians  on said wealth would the get 15% back (5% held to administer and audit the system).

And a concerted effort to eliminate vegetables in our diets.

93% of dead people had eaten vegetables at some time in their life.

Coincidence?

Not likely.


Dead at 33 years old, gone forever and his killer is sentenced to 11 years less allowances then set free to go after someone else? I don't give a good crap what this guys problems are or were at the time of the incident, he deserves to spend the rest of his life imprisoned or if we were really lucky, a hangman's noose. Where's all the sympathy for the dead guy or his family?


I was about to tender the same observation.  Native children are at the mercy of the social justice warriors in government and in native administration.  Also, religions are given a free pass even when their beliefs and practices may cause the death of their children.  Jehovah's Witnesses would rather their children die than be given a life saving blood transfusion.


CNN thought they were invincible in pushing their 'fake news' agenda. With the alleged firing of reporters on the 'Russian' fantasy - this is just the beginning of their demise. Sponsors will begin pulling their ads.

Instead of reporting factual/responsible news to the American people they have turned to retribution to achieve their irresponsible goals. Over 90% fake news reporting ? Who in their right mind would turn to them to get the facts?


And those that KJU didn't speak for are now dead, as pointed out by the other poster😉


Maybe Mr. Trump has a different side than the one he has consistently put out front.  But, given his limited knowledge of world affairs, and his affinity the ultimatum approach, this may be another empty vow.


Politics of division by our failed PM , following playbook of Obama Canada charter of rights and freedom is based on democratic principles or equality and freedom of religion , speech , et al No one religion or group can be singled out as entitled and outside the the charter and above all others Govt should be bringing us togather not dividing us as this motion does ! But then again we are talking Lieberals


The question you have to ask is why wouldn't he do everything possible to avoid public scrutiny since it was clear that at some point he would be asked about his finances.You would think that someone in his position, would have a reasonable idea of what would be expected of him when he became Finance Minister. There are any number of people who post on these forums and regardless of their political bent, who know what should be done if you are going to serve as a cabinet minister. Why wouldn't he know ? The simplest thing to do would have been to find out the bare minimum and then go way beyond that, and avoid all problems. Morneau was head of a major financial enterprise, surely he could have figured that out, but apparently not.

"Her life story can speak to the modern age unlike so many other saints."  Well said, Shawn.  That was one of my reactions, too.  I was inspired by the faults because it made me realize that we must do what we feel called to do in spite of such faults and short comings.  I'm sure that the saints of old had their faults and sins but the biographers didn't tell that part of the story.  Today we tell all.

First of all being homosexual, does not imply one is a sinner, it is the actions, in thought word or deed, that can be sinful.

So the "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or rohibiting the free exercise thereof" part of the Constitution becomes a target to force a point of recent law. That is "approve my life style of else", rather then going to another store, for say a wedding cake..

It becomes more of you must not only tolerate a life style, but approve it, & that in the long term, does not help..

One more thing. Look abound, & see even in families, a majority can make life miserable for the minority, or any place there is a gathering of people, white brown, gay, etc. That song goes beyond race,  real or perceived gender.


Of course people on the far right don't like equality, racial, gender, sexual, or otherwise. But if you want to minimize racism in yourself, one effective way is to suck up less so that you feel the need to kick down less.
  Honest. Try it. You might like it.


Put on your thinking cap and consider that these countries are in a state civil war battling terrorist forces of Islamic extremism and/or are openly hostile to the U.S.

I wasn't sure about adding this. But it comes under the title "something funny that requires further investigation." I looked into this price differential. And the appropriate comparison should be with WTC, Southeast Asia oil and What HECO pays for oil. When I compared the price differential between the benchmark price West Texas Crude and SE Asian crude there was no noticeable effect on prices. Japan does not have to buy crude from SE Asia. It's actually easier to transport it from the West Coast of Canada, but it can also come from lots of other places, like Russia. So the real question is why does Hawaiian electric pay so much more for refined oil from local refineries. When I was working on the merger I formally requested the contract but was ignored. I suspect, from the behavior of the HECO price series, that these contracts contain some formula that is a multiple of the crude price. Which makes me all the more suspicious of governor Ige's decision to abandon LNG.

Prove there isn't any Santa?  Prove there is a God.  I think people could pose the same position toward religion as your comment that there is no Santa.  How do you prove there is a God.

First, it is illegal for a private clinic to charge the public system for a service if they also charge the patient for the same service.  Either you are all in or all out on a given case. The public reimbursement doesn't cover the cost of running a private surgical clinic - this is normal because if a patient is operated on in a public hospital, the hospital receives lump sum funding to cover this so the surgeon isn't assuming these costs, so they shouldn't get extra for costs not assumed.

I hate the "jumping the line" statement.  The government is deliberately limiting the amount of OR time so surgeons cannot handle the patient caseloads.  From a professional point of view, can you imagine how unsatisfying it is to have a 2 year wait list of patients you cannot help because of bureaucratic nonsense?  Surgeons are trying to find a workaround for this and governments are letting them because they don't want to pay for what is needed.  That's why the clinics aren't being shut down.


Is there any difference between hatred based on centuries of abuse, dehumanisation/daily indignities, discrimination and one based solely on skin colour?  Is it reasonable for blacks in South Africa to hate whites?  Is it rational for blacks  who lived under slavery and jim crow to have hatred of whites? Do you think when white men hung black men in the south for fun, it is rationale for the latter to hate.  Do you think when whites accuse black men of rape, kidnapping murdering their family(Susan Smith, Sue Artman, Charles Stuart, etc,. then turns out they murdered their children; lied about rape) that hatred of whites is rationale?  Do you think it reasonable for FN to hate whites/clergy?  These people have every reason to hate because of what was/continues to be done to them BUT THEY DONT; they quickly and willingly forgive.  Yet when they speak up for their rights, people like you label them racists? BLM message is BLM TOO, not just yours...and good for them for saying enough!


Donald's campaign is in meltdown mode. He is down 15 points in the polls. Republicans are deserting him in droves. He has a BIG mouth, and spends more time attacking Republicans than he does Hillary.

The Washington Free Beacon has shown nasty, anti-Trump propaganda is no different than Hillary Clinton's evil tribe.  How disappointing.  I've added TWFB to my list of trash magazines I never buy - only read on occasion at the check-out in the grocery store.  Is there no honor left in the political arena?  Apparently not.  This past year for conservatives is has gone down thanks to Mitt Romney, Bill Kristol, Erick Erickson and now the Washington Beacon.  No wonder no one trust the media - both sides.


I wish it were true but no way will Canadian politicians listen that the public wants drastically reduced immigration, so demand for housing in major cities will keep increasing.


Boulder eliminated panhandling on the Pearl st Mall; have a look today at the composition of visitors to the Mall. Mostly visitors, who quickly look for the nearest exit as they are surrounded and harassed by the panhandlers who now dominate the space. No local taxpayer goes anywhere near the Mall any more.


Rest easy tonight, Denise.  Trudeau will soon gore you with his shiny new tax on everything.  It's all fun and games to write moral suasion like this, but see what you think when that Latte costs 16 bucks because the cup and beans have embodied energy from their distant travels and the water had to be heated with Kathleen's massively subsidized solar power.


The attitude whereby humans will drive themselves extinct anyway no matter what US does.


The founding fathers made sure the military was controlled by a civilian because war traumatizes people and affects judgement.  The subset of paranoid flag defenders shows why.  The field protests were never an insult to American veterans or the flag, but a call to our better selves as a complicated culture of many many different types of people.  Yes, vets deserve thanks for their service.  But Trump is using red meat to manipulate people into becoming rabidly angry so they don't notice his lack of leadership in getting healthcare fixed or anything else done in Washington.  Governing requires compromise and serious work, not insulting everyone and bouncing from one job to another while getting nothing done.  Some of Trump's supporters don't understand the complicated 21st century.  In fact we need every immigrant engineer we can get to stay ahead of the Russians and Chinese.   This is not a Casino game, surviving and flourishing requires adult judgement and hard work.


Everyone knew Trump was a con artist; he was elected anyway to deny Clinton and the Washington establishment who felt entitled to power.  Message sent.  The Dems have to spend some time in the penalty box for the mistake of nominating a self-entitled Clinton.  They'll choose someone different next time; and if the Republicans don't likewise, the Dems will probably win.

Interesting that your reporter goes to the trouble of mentioning that Diabetes Canada receives funding from manufacturers of nonnutritive sweeteners, but does not appear to have bothered asking whether the University of Manitoba’s George and Fay Yee Centre for Healthcare Innovation or the individual researchers who conducted the study received direct or indirect funding from the powerful international sugar lobby.

I"You mis-state an opposing view either competently or incompetently. "

Using words such as incompetent generally occcur when those with opposing views realize they have no argument to make.

You also stated that these victims are rsponsible for their own loss of life, yet on the other hand you suggest the police provoked them into engaging in illegal behavior that caused them to give up their life.

If they are truly responsible for their actions, (you clearly stated they were), then they could not be victims but crimnials.  If however you are saying that the police provoked them into bad behavior that caused them to lose their life, then the full responsibility of the assailents would come into question.  However you would need more than just conjecture and biased opinion to get others to listen, as you have made it perfectly obvious that you hold a grudge against the Kent Police specifically,  including the rejection of the courts findings  of their innocence.

Whatever happened to the pair of tall Croatian players  who came in one season and helped Kaimuki won a state boys basketball title back in 93?


I observed the trial and this news article takes the actual testimonies out of context and excludes testimony and actual evidence in favor of the defendant.  The CPA firm who is the alleged victim confirmed that the four complainants owe $1.7 million.  The sole detective in this case was a former patrol buddy with one of the former partner's husband.  Police favoritism again.

Burnt,

  We seem to have our own serious intolerance, serious resentment, and now, like you say, they've devolved into a free speech problem, thanks to the crappy changes in comment format and childish emoticons. How does it feel to be treated like a child? I don't like it. How does it feel to be censored by my fellow posters? When the Establishment is challenged they always smack down the most vulnerable powerless people like us. Sad.

  I have no idea who is nixing my comments. I've been quite outspoken here these last 11 years. Often disliked by liberals and often disliked by conservatives so who knows?
   One thing, though, conservatives call liberals "left wing" but they are not. They are right of centre. I sometimes feel like the only left winger left in Canada. Just because I support workers and don't support corporations. That's what left wingers were in the 1960's and that's the way they need to be now - to bridge the gap between middle and working classes and rein in the 1%.


Are there going to be new roads or a functional mass transit system in place before this happens? Do our leaders not think about such things beforehand? I recently drove from northeast Denver to DIA, boarded a plane to Vail and got there faster than if I had driven.

CAE...  we agree!


Boots, ordinarily I would be with you on the idea of assisted suicide but I have some serious fears with the way our political system is evolving, not just republicans and democrats, but fierce partisans who refuse to bend or show any common sense. The drug war, declared ridiculous by no less than National Review 30 years ago, has reached the extremes that people with chronic pain and their physicians can no longer take a vacation, because they have to see their doctor face-to-face for every tiny amount of narcotics that ease their pain. People in constant pain without relief will be much more likely to wish to end that pain by all means necessary including suicide, so we make it easy to obtain that? Why can't we enable them to have a more comfortable life rather than just killing them off??!


You do not have your facts correct in the Dreyfus case. Dreyfus was accused of being a traitor based on the barest of circumstantial evidence and was prosecuted despite evidence to the contrary. Snowden freely admits his actions as being one of so called "conscientiousness", sacrifice a few for the good of the many.


I don't think so. It's the boom and bust cycle of the resource "economy" that tossed thousands of Alberta workers into unemployment. The "economy" is what we do; if we do something sustainable, that's what our economy will be. Shutting down the tar sands is not a matter of "if," it is a question of when.

Mahalo Barry!  for putting Hawaii on the map


History is made as Hilary Clinton becomes the first woman presidential candidate of a major party. BBC News here notes that of 50 US newspapers only 19 had photos of Hilary Clinton on the cover.  Why?

The photo for this story is a "cut out" photo of Hilary on a sign;  the front page of the RG has a photo of two Hilary Clinton supporters embracing; and back page A10 has  photos of BILL C. speaking and of CHELSEA C.  smiling with  wealthy hubby Marc M.

But on the day Hilary Clinton broke the political  glass ceiling, THERE WAS NO PHOTO OF HER IN THE RG.*
Why?
(*there was, at least, a sketch of her on the editorial page.)


Ask him or look up his past columns to check.  But you really need to remember that Trump won the presidency, HRC is now a private citizen, and it is Trump who will be scrutinized from this past Friday forward.  I mean, you forgot Mitt Romney's lies fast enough and were relentless in your demeaning, and even fabricated, commentary about Obama.  So now you complain, Martin Nichols?  Get real.


So we shouldn't just #WeBelieve?
Perhaps they didn't do the necessary probing because they exist in a culture, work culture and more broadly, where expressing disbelief in an accuser is now considered unacceptable.

The problem is that any dog can be "registered online". There is no official registration for such animals. Having your dog "registered online" means nothing. Also, anybody can buy the vests and patches. Anybody. If a business claims to be a registry and that they need a doctors note to register you and your animal... the business is lying. You are also sending such dishonest people a note from the doc telling what your disability is.

The "high density" plan is a scam.   It is just a way to maximize Developers profits

70% of the units are small 1-bedroom/studios.
60% are not occupied by the owner - i.e. rental or AirBnB.

For a family - heck - a couple - there is very limited options on the supply side.   Much of the starter homes in the 416 - bungalows - are tear downs, and replaced by luxury units.

So the 5% foreign buyers will have a massive affect on the supply-demand curve.


Sigh. Google Elliot Spitzer and Dominic Strauss-Kahn if you honestly think this sort of thing is limited to Russia.


Probably the usual team of non-guoy comedy writers. Durant's mother was laughing.


I'm glad you mentioned constitutional rights.

Our Constitution's second amendment is a long-obsolete prescription for arming and training the late-1700s citizen army of a weak collection of agrarian states.  It has no relevance in today's vastly larger and stronger urban society with its professional military.


Sorry, you already burned that bridge.


well said Robin


Never.


This story's photo of Mr. Khan's outrage seems especially silly now,  given the 2 major Muslim terrorist attacks today and Trump's electoral victory confirmation.


jimbob -  what difference, at this point, does it make?  Obama would not interrupt his golfing vacay for a national tragedy.  Donald Trump made Obama and Hillary both look like heartless lazybones.


"...with a long list of spending curbs, including in public healthcare, social services, drug treatment and corrections"
These are of course ideal places to cut, people who would use these services are not all that good at complaining loudly. Having said that, I'd be willing to pay another 5 or 10 bucks a month to NOT cut these services. It will be interesting to see what effect a new Admin in Washington DC will have.

Well said, there are a number of investors holding 2,3,4,5,10 real estate investment properties. They constrain the supply and hold on as prices go up.

The higher the prices go the easier it is for investors to bully the average buyer with large deposit and all cash offers.


DT always has some sort of issue...


Nonsense.  Ages ago, when I was young all the topical information the internet provides today was provided in the daily newspaper (which I delivered).  In those days, teachers and schools stuck to apolitical instruction.  Note that these "kids" issued a press release last Friday.  Nothing you can say will lead me to believe that these kids knew about press releases.  This was orchestrated by adults, most likely teachers.


Its the racist Democrat left trying to rewrite their own inexcusable racist history that continues to this day


If NCR had accomplished nothing other than its reporting (and commenting on!!) the clergy sex abuse crisis, that would have more than justified its existence.  It's difficult to imagine how that crisis would have unfolded in the absence of the persistent, courageous work of NCR reporters and editors.


Who does this little pipsqueak Bibi thinks he is to lecture the President of the USA?  Americans should remind this little fascist how many Americans went without basic healthcare and infrastructure investments to give his country $30 Billion a year in welfare handouts so he can steal more Palestinian lands.


You need mental help.


I agree with all of your comments, but boy I get nervous when opinions are so one sided.  When everybody is on one side of the boat, eventually it tips.


Thanks for the comment. I do understand that there's an interest in keeping aspects of an investigation private. I have a harder time understanding why the DOE cannot say whether or not the educational assistant, whose name I don't know, was exonerated, or even when the investigation was concluded, much less general questions about their process. Educators, including those who are falsely accused, certainly have a privacy interest, but one could argue that the public has an interest in assuring that such investigations are thorough and fair.


Please, G & M, don't make these  wrong changes to the way readers post comments.
It was perfectly good the way it was.
These new changes make commenting too slow and unwieldy.
Further, the emoticons are silly and childish. Showing the names of those who disagreed will increase personal vitriol.
The best thing about comments was thumbs up or thumbs down because that way a person knew if his or her opinions were popular or not.
  It's now difficult to find if anyone has replied to a post.
Receiving an email notifying a poster that he has received a response was also an excellent feature.
  The best features have been removed, replaced by bad ones.
   Many readers have now left this website, as shown by the large decrease in the number of comments posted in this Letters to the Editor page.
  Please cancel the changes. They are time-consuming, childish and ridiculous.
  I question the intentions of the G & M in making these frustrating changes.


Old, I was focusing on Rieder's implied contention that the only alternative to high-carb diets is a paleo one, which is obviously not the case. I just grabbed the first site that popped up, I'm sure there are better ones out there. Dairy is obiously also going to contain animal fat( unless you go non-fat), and avoiding processed foods is best. If you believe a Paleo diet is "very healthy", I'm not going to try and talk you out of it, but you may want to do more research.


Great article Dave! Totally outrageous what the OIA is doing to these kids!!


OMG, sounds a bunch of lib dems with nothing better to do.  Hope they look at themselves first before grumbling about someone else.  Get a life.


There's an easy fix that fills vacancies, is fair to candidates and empowers the electorate. When a vacancy occurs after the statutory 100-day period, too late to allow the voters to decide, authorize the city council to appoint an acting councilor to complete the remainder of the term, but bar that acting councilor from running as an incumbent in the next election as a condition of accepting the temporary appointment.  Then, in the next election, the voters can elect a new councilor on a level playing field, without some candidate enjoying the unearned advantage of incumbency.


I guess trump's campaign strategy of "GRAB THEM BY THE P***Y" was not the best idea after all...


The morning comedy was on time today.
The more I look at how this person writes the more I think he was trained in Moscow


Elderly, Lower-income & Homeless (including many Working Homeless) often don't have an App & $$$ for a fancy phone !  On Windward - many parts of our Bus System does not work well. Often the GPS does not work. Buses can come 5-10 minutes early.  Yes ! People get stuck standing for an hour- in the rain ! At times the Country Bus #55 is only scheduled every 45min-1 hour- then its late.  Kahalu'u #65 Bus comes every hour on weekends, etc. On Windward, transfer points are a problem too: #55 stops a Hygenics Store in Kahaluu at Kam & Kahakilli. But people then walk 1/2 mile down Kahakilli to catch the #65 !!!!   Often people who want to work two Jobs, can't because the Buses are so bad on Windward-North Shore !  Often 3 times late to a Fast Food Job and U R Fired !  Up our Coast U can't walk 3 blocks and get another Bus. A good Transportation System is Key to Reducing Poverty - and Homelessness  !


It's easy to be a "good christian" when you can just sit around and condemn those who are born different from you. Nothing required except to mimic the pharisee who thanked god for not being like the tax collectors.


And do you actually think the Flames are going to pay "90%"--if you do I have some property in "Swampbush" Florida that you can buy


NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!     The whole lesson of the US disaster is that when the government regulates the financial sector, and GUARANTEES that depositors will get paid, regardless of the idiotic loans made by said financial sector, depositors are not careful, and banks don't care about loan quality.  Why would they? They get paid on volume, they bundle crap loans into MBSs and sell them to UBS, or they keep the loans on their books, but cover their butts with fed-backed mortgage insurance.
Just make it clear that unregulated means "not bailed out," and if investors then want to fund such firms to chase high returns, hey good luck to them!
Please google CountryWide, IndyMac, Washington Mutual, or 100 other dead lenders in the US...


Not in that sentence.


I think this article misses a few more salient facts.
US mid-west farmers are living a boom in exports of soya beans and corn to.....CHINA....
Farmers were aghast when Trump wanted to end China trade.
Subsidies already destroyed the Mexican corn farmer; that's from whence those illegals come.
During one election phase, Paul Ryan, (R),(brought up a bill to thwart outsourcing of manufacturing (which had gone to China), he aced off against Beohner (speaker and fellow republican), whose riding represented farmers. So, it gets complicated.
Ryan's Bill never got anywhere.


I like the design of the flag and the colors. Sorry to bust your soapbox, Gary.


Can someone please explain why so few governors, mayors and business leaders defend Paris accord after Trump’s rejection?


What an arrogant horse's behind Kat Pratt talking about people who disagree with her - "I get it about once a day usually and some of them get more confrontational. Maybe some not maybe as not educated as that last gentleman, and there's a lot to learn,".  She is an example of why the French used the guillotine for elites.


Nick, doing a quick Google search came up with the following most corrupt politicians:
1.President of Indonesia
 2. Ferdinand Marcos	President of the Philippines
 3. Mobutu Sese Seko	President of Zaire
 4. Sani Abacha	President of Nigeria
 5. Slobodan Milosevic	President of Serbia/Yugoslavia
 6. Jean-Claude Duvalier	President of Haiti
 7. Alberto Fujimori	President of Peru
 8. Pavlo Lazarenko	Prime Minister of Ukraine
 9. Arnoldo Alemán	President of Nicaragua
10. Joseph Estrada	President of the Philippines

But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assumed you meant US politicians:
1)Boss Tweed
2)Ray Blanton
3)Budd Dwyer
4)Edwin Edwards
5)Spiro Agnew
6)Carroll Hubbard
7)George Ryan
8)James Traficant
9)Randy Cunningham
10)Huey Long

Still no Hillary...

Now maybe you were being sarcastic, but when you state outrages facts it makes you sound uneducated and hard to take seriously. Just like Trump.


Democrats absolutely need to get over it.  They lost.

Instead of crying about it, they should work on how to defeat him in 4 years.


Anybody who actually believes that it was Kim Campbell, and not the legacy of Brian Mulroney, that led the PCs to the greatest defeat in Party history is either woefully ignorant of Canadian history and politics, too young to remember, or a flat-out liar.


Or a few drunk lesbians.


PS. I just learned that the boats are American with a crew of foreigners.  Sounding more like slave ships.


Why, in the first place, are sensory deprivation practices being implemented in our city jail?


Excellent news!


Just this morning I heard Colleen Hanabusa say on the radio that the legislators in DC have the very same Obama Care medical insurance that everyone else has.  There is no special health care for elected officials. Just reporting what she said... no, I don't believe it either.  LOL


1.)"That’s not the definition of homosexuality. " - I said
2.)"It_is_not." - You said
3.) "It_is_a_definition_of_who_is_at_risk_for_abusing_children" - You said

1. & 2.) Then we agree. Why are you arguing then?

3.) The male/female adult is at risk abusing children? Or, I imagine you mean the child is at risk being abused? Because, the subject doing the abusing is the adult, not the child. And thus wouldn't, I imagine mean what you mean/intended to come to that conclusion. The error is in logic/reasoning. You have your argument outlining a direction to the conclusion you do not intend, I believe. So, can you refine that statement?


Believe me, if it was discovered too much money was appropriated to these agencies, there would be no special session this year to rectify that.


The city is is just side stepping and walking softly around the problem.  It's a people problem.  I'll still stay away.  What their doing won't keep the problems from going away.


It looks bad because it IS bad.  What kind of person uses moves burial remains for the purpose of being a roadblock?  I mean literally, it's being used to block the road.  And Kealoha Pisciotta is trying to justify this as ok?


That our national anthem has somehow become part of the multimillion dollar entertaiment industry that is called the NFL saddens me. A childs game that has little meaning past high school is somehow equated with patriotism and loyalty? It's big business designed to make money for millionares.  For me, it "shows an arrogant disrespect for those kids and the millions of others who have served this nation, from Valley Forge to Afghanistan, and on all the bloody battlefields in between."  You want respect for the flag and the anthem, start by eleminating them from sporting events that have nothing to do with honoring those who have served and reserve them for moments of true importance for our nation.


There you go again . . . pulling me into a conversation that I was not part of.  You just can't resist.  Get that chill pill.


Doesn't seem news worthy at all.... a walk by, offence taken, a brief discussion, ten minutes of milling around quietly and then leaving. Has the Globe become infiltrated by the CBC? Somewhat disappointed to the apparent over reaction by the military before an investigation into the matter took place. Good ol' "guilty until proven innocent."


Mark my words. They will have government stooges driving around looking for such wood piles and then will be taxing it.


Hmmm. Protests in every major city across the US within 2 weeks of inauguration... not off to a good start.


All knew, the oil cartel on the slope, the Governors and the AOGCC, that it was a bygone conclusion that at some point in time (we are there) "gas exploration development and export" would be more beneficial to the state fiscally than oil for the larger tax base it would allow to flourish, and for continual improvement of our 1950`s infrastructure in measured beneficial and affordable phases..that also has a "value" that is probably more valuable to the state than the taxes we derive from the gas.  If we don`t fight for ourselves with and through a good Governor like Walker, how will we ever stand against graft and conflict in government like that that pervades the majorities on the second floor in our capital?   I`d rather we go down fighting rather than just, in fear that they leave us, let them have our oil and gas for nothing in production taxes... let alone these subsidies the Conoco caucus sold us...  just like they sold us the Taj....


I think so.....just haven't seen any data on the subject. Apparently doors wouldn't shut, water seepage etc....

I personally would have preferred a renovation of a neighboring church and the money saved used to keep inner city schools open...and other charitable acts...don't see the cathedral as necessary or even attractive.

And the 200 million cost along with 60 million in settlements....the bond market loans that must be paid down or better yet, off....

The whole thing is just pathetic.


Still believe in global warming!?? Our President knows what he's talking about.


Oddly, you are still finding Hillary Clinton guilty despite being cleared in three Congressional inquiries.

The case against Trump builds every day.

Drip, drip, drip.

Be patient, Grasshopper.

.


That's just the problem. The Trump cabal are amateurs. They have no idea how to govern. At least Reagan had eight years experience as governor of CA.


Trust funds and off shore money are where the real wealthy people hide their money.  Trudeau and Morneau have no clue what middle class is nor do they care.  It’s much easier to vilify the doctor who works 100 hours a week and is close to burning out or a small business person that dared to invest within the corporation so they could have a decent retirement(soon it will be only teachers and public servant who will retire comfortably). The liberals want class warfare to play to the progressive/NDP voters in Quebec and the Maritimes to keep their majority and that’s all they care about.


Talk about backstabbing.  That Kadri has all the tools,  dirty player, diver, total lack of a human being.  He will have his day..  He will hit the wrong guy in the wrong way..  And yes,  no suspension.  That should have been a 5 spot.   Ur Laughs should have had 6 points out of the west, got 3.  Not performance.  Far from a good team.  And Matthews,  what is he.  Hasnt done a thing yet to note.. 4 in the first game, what since.  Laine making him look like an ordinary Joe.


The only people disrespecting our country are racists, slave owners, modern day Republicans, dirty cops, and those who are so indoctrinated as to think not saluting a flag is disrespecting the country. And the only people confused are you and your ilk.


no

double no in montreal and ottawa


Meanwhile, in another discussion to the target of relentless harassment you post:

“You're a lot like Trump. Can't ignore anything. Everything is of equal value and must be responded to. Tweet Tweet.”

Your sense of outrage is somewhat selective.


Nate, I am with you on the Federal Drug Laws, or any Law,  HOWEVER,  it is reported here that Old Soul has a severe medical condition and uses stuff the Government states is illegal for medicinal purposes.  I believe in cases like this that there are exceptions.

If the Government was serious and would enforce the laws on the books the problem would be solved......Unfortunately, when our Government says NO, it usually means, YES.........


'Those who believe they are accountable to God alone are the most dangerous people on the planet. They're really accountable to nothing but their own pleasures and prejudices."
Those statements contradict each other.


Now We Have a Road Map to Trump Campaign's Russia Collusion
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/07/now-we-have-a-roadmap-to-trump-campaigns-russia-collusion.html


This reminds one of the lyrics from a song; I have friends in high places.


Irony is watching people try to apply law to lawless situations.
If your friendly neighborhood coke dealer who is also your friend (of sorts) shows up late at night unexpected and starts fighting with you to the point you kick him out. Does that equate to SYG?

 If he goes to his car to grab his gun and comes back up to you talking smack and you shoot him because you're pretty sure he's going to shoot you does that follow a train of logic?

If his cousin who WAS at the scene disappears all a sudden and they can't find any of his gun money or drugs does that make the cousin an accessory in his death somehow?

Please give me the logic in this situation, because I'm not seeing how you can apply the law is on anyone's side when dealing with criminal activity. No matter what the situation for the shooting.  The drugs & felon in possession has him screwed.  Yay he lost one charge just to get screwed on all the others - yup no win situation. Meanwhile dead bodies pile up kids grow no dads


Throe (daughter of a conservative journalist---sorry)


UO Spokesperson Tobin Klinger claims it's long-standing practice to treat OA's like faculty; but this conveniently overlooks a HUGE difference: OA's can (and are) routinely and easily "non-renewed" (a.k.a. "fired") from their positions all the time—sometimes (often?) with little legitimate reason other than not getting along with a superior. Try doing this to a tenured faculty member (even one who wears blackface).


If Robert Mueller does in fact gets the straight story on the "Russia hacked the election" fabrication, he'll discover that the DNC/Podesta e-mail leaks that were published by WikiLeaks came from a disgruntled DNC insider and not the Russians.
I don't doubt that the Russians have cyber experts that frequently hack into U.S. government and business computers, but it's highly unlikely that they had anything to do with the WikiLeaks e-mails that may have influenced the election.
Think about it logically..... If Russia did have those e-mails, and if for some reason they did want them made public to embarrass Hillary, they have a perfect method of exposing them in their state-owned RT.com.  RT.com has a huge audience. They wouldn't need WikiLeaks.
Further, Julian Assange (WikiLeaks) has stated that the e-mails didn't come from the Russians.  There's no reason whatsoever for him to lie about that.


Gee if we cut troopers like that they wouldn't be able to investigate bootlegging in Bethel, at the same time the town in opening up liquor stores.  Tragedy.


Thank you for that link.  It had not previously sunk into my obviously confused brain that Palestine as a "nation", at least the huge West Bank,  is a group of disconnected enclaves.  It appears the only contiguous land in which a state could be formed based on the wishes of a majority of the people is the Gaza Strip.   The Oslo Accords did not make a Palestinian state possible - perhaps it made possible disconnected city states with local popularly elected government - but not a national government.

I do not see peace coming out of the moves by the Trump Administration - and fear fodder for those prone to violence in a Middle East that is already in turmoil.


So far ten readers agree, and one, Want2bfree doesn't.  You've got to admit, she's consistent. Consistently wrong.


The oil companies are dropping and canceling leases in the Arctic offshore areas and Lisa comes up with this.  What a crock.  Grow some spine lady.  There is no sensible company that is going to explore the hardest, toughest physical environment on the planet that has a concurrent set of protections for it when there are far easier and reliable prospects on shore.  It simply doesn't pass the laugh test.  And add me to the "Minority" that opposes Arctic offshore drilling at all.  On shore accidents are nasty enough and it is still not a slam dunk to contain them.  Offshore cleanup or containment would be a nightmare.  Macondo showed what a drawn out mess can happen and they had everything in their favor.


Pervert!

Oh... "TAPAS". Good question! Lots of places have done small plates (Belly, for example) but the last time I ate tapas was in McMinnville.


This "glass is 1/2 empty" article undermines a teachers attempt to do good for their students.  All of what Andre says is true, however this forced activity only does good for the students in so many ways.  Why bash it at all?


Since the book was released, I know of NO bishop or religious superior in the U.S. endorse it, with the exceptions of the original 5.
Do you have evidence to the contrary?
Please share it.
I'd be interested in hearing about it.
Really!


So he is as much a reactionary as Muller is.


In the case of Ms DeVos. She is super wealthy. How is the fact that she spend a lot of her time and wealth on passionately improving outcomes for poor kids a bad thing?


Actually, it is most often the right-wingers here who don't want facts to confuse them.  How else to explain all the excuses for the Trump team? I wonder if you googled GPS Fusion.  How about Magnitsky? I found the sites and connected articles very informative and disquieting.


I agree that Trooper should have been fired.  I suspect Monegan did to.  However, the union would have filed a wrongful termination suit against the state, and that Trooper would have made a ton of money off being fired.  Is that what you want?  The union has rules on how and when Troopers can be fired.  If that state doesn't follow those rules, the employee ends up winning, even if they suck.


Everybody loves lip-service.


So happy you feel "solace" as you mutilate or kill your prey, and then release it.


Real estate markets rise and fall on sentiment.  If everyone believes prices will rise then demand exceeds supply and prices rise.  However if everyone believes prices will fall then everyone wants to sell and no one wants to buy.  We are already in a market where people with average incomes can not affort to buy.  And this is in a market with near historic low interest rates.   It is at the point where any small tug on the rug could topple the whole market.  And the scary thing is that years of price increases can be erased in a very short period of time.  Panic only occurs on the downside.  It doesn't take a lot of research to figure out what can happen.  Just read about real estate in a market like Florida in 2008.


Good thing having a gun in the house kept the family safe.


Your defense of spraying poison on food is absurd. Where did you get your quotes? No citations, just scary words design to bolster a dead end position. Just how in the hell do you think human got this far, long before Monsanto and Dow chemical starting profiteering on human health? Humans grew on soil for thousands of years without poisoning the food, the soil, and our bodies. We grow and eat our food without the deadly chemicals that slowly poison the body and we wash our food before we eat.
Your choice to eat poisonous chemical residue will show over time...cancer, birth defects,
neurological breakdown in the brain. It's all so short term profit oriented and the health of consumers doesn't matter.


So dumb. And entitled!

OK,, A plan,,,how about some throw down notes –
for us simple people ?
I never seen so many people “gaming the system”! pdk

(Sell Juneau or lease it out) Close down government to essential services only;  Then come here to Anchorage and let us all gather up and review essential services in detail; And a ZERO based budget review-audit-education of 3 state agencies by random draws

Identify Drivers or Causations of problems:
1.Move Capital NOW or charge Juneau for the their costs to us.
2.Rapid Recall by internet petitions with true voter names (my Alaska) and “by will of the people” grounds for recall.
3.Term Limits for all elected officials
4. Centralize all expenditures for tracking purposes
5. Secure PF and PFD against any more bank heist gangs or;
 cash it out along with the PERS and TERS to all citizens
6. Decouple all public employees unions and go to flat hourly wages with no health or other benefits or investment plans


The term "orthodox" is just as biased as 'conservative'.  Are they a cult---like "orthodox Jews" are?.  The term "heterodox" implies that 'anything goes'---which is not necessarily what liberals believe.  Liberals are not arguing with what is stated in the Nicene Creed---which defines the basics of what we as Christians believe.

In the 'marriage/family life teachings' of the official church since the 1930's, it is both the 'manner' and 'area' that liberals oppose---most of which are focused solely 'below the belt'.
And it is the fact that those who 'lay down the law' are 'professional eunuchs' whose only REAL experience of married life was when they were children still living at home before going to the Junior Seminary at age 13/14.  Most of these cardinals have no idea how to even approach a woman as an equal [as in married life].


Maybe you might consider the possibility that we Trump-voters wanted nothing more than a good Supreme Court Justice, and to stop further Democrat-caused damage to our country.  Anything else positive that Trump might accomplish would be 'icing on the cake' (which I'm still waiting for).

You have to admit, Trump isn't actually getting anything accomplished, mainly due to opposition within his own party - which I am totally fine with.  Gridlock is better than more regressivism, I mean progressivism.


Beautiful story to remind us of our own roots and how we got here, those who came before us.............. And where are true destiny lies, eventually.


The ONLY way I would ever "Buy" into new user fees would be if my Income Taxes were lowered by at least $10,000.00 per year, otherwise, no deal.


Still haven't found your burning story on the R-G site, although, like guestsquared, I did find it in my print edition when I got around to reading the comics.

Why you should accuse me of being 'dishonest' for not finding one of  your favorite hot buttons is a mystery to me, by the way.

Perhaps anger management, less caffeine, some tranks?


Let's see now, on another front page Globe article a Dalhousie Muslim  woman is being held up as a hero by those same liberal voices that Wente talks about. The Dalhousie screamer demands the right to say:
"#whitefragilitycankissmyass"

in regards to her giving the finger to Canadians celebrating this nation's 150th birthday.

Personally, I support her right to say that.

However, try substituting the first 5 letters with something more to the point of Wente's article, and see how long the Globe censors let it stand.


That's a pretty long drive, but in what other MLB park could you could buy bleachers seats for $2 then sit just about anywhere ?


Wait a minute.  Trump stated he will "Jail" HRC, he is threatening to use torture on our enemies and declare their families legitimate targets of war, and will deport 11 million undocumented immigrants.  I think there is reasonable comparison between Trump and Castro.


the real issue is that Harper government gave them a blank cheque and the abused it and know we are finding out when the real culprits are retired and out of the picture what do the Conservative think that they can get away with this i think not.

time to bring the gentlemen back for answer to the charges of espionage under the cloke of security against the average joe blow all over Canada shame now the Liberal will have to clean up Harper mess.


One of the largest challenges facing the country today is the fact that many Americans have saved little or nothing for their future care or retirement.  Mr. Dunleavy would do the same and have Alaskans spend every last dime of our collective savings to continue payments to oil companies.  This is not a way to the future!  This guys focus on guns in schools and other nonsensical topics while Alaska's economy and savings are dwindling shows he not fit to lead us anywhere.


If Conway said it, it has to be true .............


Give me a break!!! Kathleen and her ilk have done more damage to Ontarios economy than any form form Automation

The ragging left has NO regard for inconsequential people, it's their ideology that matters!

Yes Green energy cost, high taxes and government that spends more time working against business has chased away industry period!!!!

Yes we allll know small business is a tax shelter for the rich, keep it up Marxist  and Canada will soon have its own Trump.


How nice it would have been to have a notice about it, prominent as this after-the-fact piece....


Adjust the rates for the chronically unemployed (those who have given up the chase.)


Thanks Rob,  A very balanced opinion on the issue.
Any investment option, or advisor option, needs to be evaluated on the value you are getting.
In business we say that "a good accountant will pay for themselves", the same goes with investments.
