Your comment did not say anything about being on "the list".  Terrorists are trying to infiltrate and reek havoc everywhere in the world - heard about the attacks at Normandy church, Nice, Brussels, Paris?


CBC's The National gathers about a million viewers.

Wouldn't a simpler ordinance be "No selling of any product or service on public right of ways?"  Sometimes, the more specific a rule, the more people will try to find a way to get around it as, in this case, there is no mention of "WHEELED" devices, so it must be OK!


I agree, sir. When does the madness stop at renaming or reconciling at every turn?

Donnie - I have never said you were a big fish, but you are a representative of the State GOP, I believe as a committeeman. Thanks for the mention.

You were throwing Carnegie and Vanderbilt under the bus and comparing their evil nature to your list of political saints.  I am merely questioning your saints canonization and veneration.  I have no particular information about  or interest in the robber barons of the last century; the ones who currently own both the Democratic and the Republican politicians in power and those seeking the Presidency are my major concern.


luke.... how's about you answer a question.  The USA was just caught using white phosphorous in Iraq.  According to international law this amounts to a war crime because it was near innocent civilians....   What should happen to the USA Luke?   Should we ignore 'actual' crimes against people.    I know this will fly in the face of your trumpian logic but let's give it a shot shall we.

Teilhard did have doubters and critics for much of his career. But he was not formally excommunicated, nor were his books put on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. And in the 1960s there was a first enthusiastic appreciation of Teilhard by theologians. Note however that these have generally been the right-wing kind, who perhaps falsely interpret Teilhard to suit their own agenda, e.g. Joseph Ratzinger, Avery Dulles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Teilhard_de_Chardin#Relationship_with_the_Catholic_Church


Touche. I actually agree with you, and admit that I was wrong. Getting caught up in the moment is no excuse, and I apologize to the man I insulted.


The NDP has always assumed that government money is infinite and only needs someone kind hearted to effectively hand it out and thus solve all society's ills.

It is time that the NDP accepts that government money is most certainly finite, and that to be truly compassionate one needs to focus the limited available money on the most vulnerable in society.

Here's the hard part.  To take that leap, one would then have to accept that society's most vulnerable does NOT include public service workers, middle class families, Bombardier or Ontario's auto industry.  Government should instead focus on alleviating true poverty, seniors, children at risk, people with health issues, and physical challenges, for starters.


Peter M. Roddy,

TPP would have eliminated the tariff. Para. 4 says, "Existing tariffs cost on red salmon imported to Chili, Japan, Mexico, would have been removed according to United Nations Conference." This means third-world countries are still paying a tariff. Trump is right. These countries have polluted their waters and have horrible human rights records. Globalization should be stopped. They left their own countries because they needed work. I quote, 'Give us your poor, tired and huddled masses...." Now, lets get everyone back to work and can the idea for supporting communist countries. Great Pacific Seafood pulled out of here because fish prices were being leveled. Globalize Alaska's fishing industry for the sake of the fishermen at the micro-level, for the peoples' livelihood, not a state run incorporated fishing industry, who wasted and spilled a belly dump of fish this summer! Was that 10 totes? Also, consolidate departments. Fishing should be grouped with Dept. of Agric..


Now I am really confused! Your fearless leader announced last year that President Obama was born in the USA, and the whole scam was propagated by Hilary Clinton. So it seems you are a Hilary fan after all! Who knew?

Regarding the health care bill, it could have been MUCH better, but giving 20-30 million Americans heath care at all makes me proud, and I am sure it does you too as a compassionate human being. I can't imagine you would be in favor of the current plan to take it away from those folks and give a trillion dollars to rich folk instead.


That's OK.  You spent the last 8 years telling us what's best for us.  We'll spending the next 8 years showing you what's best for you.  Unless you happen to be one of those who make their living by gaming the system.

The Democrats are a coalition of bureaucrats, welfare recipients, and unions who use force and coercion to get money from everybody else.  The unions protect their own.

The Republicans are "the Forgotten Man," people who work for a living in the private sector (Small Business), who earn the money they make and who provide most of the jobs, don't benefit from the government programs, but have to pay for them.  You don't have to have a college degree to start or run a small business, but many small business owners make several multiples of what Phds with liberal arts degrees.  Who's smarter?  Only 26% of the jobs in this country require any college at all.  Why run up $200,000 of student loan debt if you're going to end up working for Starbucks?  How smart is that?


The Globe reporter Marcus McGee provided much to ponder, agree that payment for my subscription therefore is good value.

It appears that Joseph Boyden's cultural fluidity as a novelist crossed the line into Grey Owl territory.

Hey, got another question prompted by your own, KalleJ, and jjfarms1's comment about columnists Sheema and Shree.  Howcum no MALE Muslims giving us THEIR opinion?  Have I missed a guy or two along the way?  Seems we have a--what's the current phrase?--oh, yeah: a "gender deficit" here.

Reminds me of my thought a few nights ago, in the wake of the Paris Accord, when CBS news went off to Pennsylvania coal fields to interview a group of coal miners.  There they were, standing in a line at the tailgate of a big 'ol pickup truck: every one...a woman.

I guess "real men" don't go in much for all that talkin' stuff.


As if we needed more, here is more proof that Trudeau doesn't have a clue.  He doesn't understand the Canadian economy, he cares not for Canadians' prosperity.  His duplicitous carbon tax will erase any middle class income tax roll-back that he promised, and cost plenty more.

This knot-head of a prime minister will cost us all dearly by the time we get rid of him in 2019.  Just wait till he has to go toe-to-toe with Trump, when Trump is steering our largest trading partner's economy in one direction and Jr. is determined to head in the other.

Sunny Ways indeed!


Countries with higher gender equality are more prosperous because they are in the West, which is the most prosperous part of the world. It's fallacious to imply that these countries prosper because of gender equality.

But I appreciated the analysis of why men in some countries are raised to dominate.


He looks pretty good. Handsome fella.


There are people who condemn all rodeos, including the small ones in towns and villages everywhere in this country. The reason this one gets the most publicity, both pro and con, is because it's enormous and people know about it.


Please do share your extensive library of Liberal misdoings over the last year.
I'm sure you will even back them up with reputable links, also!


Because most "got along" with President Obama, even if they disagreed with him.  He treated them with respect.  Like you, Trump cannot "get along" with those with whom he disagrees.


Bob Mould was born and raised in upstate New York, however, so he's technically not a Minnesotan. /nerd

I'm not concerned with democracy. I'm concerned about liberty. These aren't the same things. In fact democracy almost always leads to less liberty. As far as human political institutions and power structures go, liberty should be our primary concern and goal.

You're concerned about the rich and powerful getting more riches and power. I'm not concerned about them getting more riches as long as they do it legitimately, morally and without special government privileges. Your concern about power is misplaced. Government is where power is vested. That's what attracts the money and those who want control of it. Look past the surface symptoms to the root problems.

"Or maybe you want to live in a society where the disparity of wealth is so great that people suffer."

That happens in countries where the state has the most power.

"Liberty does not exist when such disparity exists."

The more power government has the more liberty is at risk.


He's spinning the story in the hopes that Federal charges are not filed. A politically motivated attack can lead to a conviction on federal charges and severe punishment.  My guess is the lawyer knows the truth and is hoping misdirect the investigation.

Ms. Chong is indeed correct that Oliver Lee and his followers were vindicated-- vindicated, but sadly at the loss of so much life by both the Vietnamese and US and allied troops. There is an excellent book on what happened after the fall of South Vietnam to the rule of the Viet Cong about specific Vietnamese during the war and after the war. One story was about how people who fled the war and settled in the US, but many returned including a man who returned to head the Vietnamese office of Federal Express. And the story of the Vietnamese pilot who was trained in Texas and fought against the Viet Cong, but ended up strafing the South Vietnamese "White House". He became the head of the Vietnamese Airline. Today many US tourists go to Hanoi and what was once Saigon and now "Ho Chih Minh City".


Wow!  You sound *just* like a Reagan-era neo-con in this one, Hugh.  o_O

Donnie is probably still too stupid/racist/stubborn to do the right thing.

To recap, that would be:

1. Retract the BothSiderist narrative unambiguously, wholeheartedly and without any whining about the media or any other diversion.
2. Take the blame for his whipping up racists with his rhetoric, and promise to change his ways.
3. As gesture of good faith and show he means it, fire Sessions, Gorka, Bannon and Miller.

Anything less is not enough. The above would be just the start.

But who am I kidding? He's a racist child and will never grow up.

When will the GOP find their spine, remove the scum in the WH and work to find adults for their party again?

I know most Americans would love to have adults running things again. Seems the only ones around are Democrats.


We do pay for it. And Earl paid for it. People paid for Earl's vet bills. Then there's the pattern of child abuse that follows animal abuse. Who's going to 'pay' for that?


Jim, read the article before commenting!

Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput used a weekly column to excoriate a “scheming” Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign for anti-Catholic bigotry on Thursday.

Thousands of hacked emails by Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta have embarrassed Mrs. Clinton since last Friday and revealed her key allies talking about ways to ignite a “Catholic Spring.” Documents obtained by the nonprofit WikiLeaks show Mr. Podesta and Sandy Newman, president of the nonprofit group Voices for Progress, mulling ways to end the “middle ages dictatorship” of the Catholic church.
Archbishop Chaput blasted the exchange, as well as another by John Halpin of the Center for American Progress that labeled Catholics “severely backwards” on gender relations.

The real issue is the damage done to the incentive to take risks, to challenge the big players in order to bring better prices and service to consumers.
Big L Liberals are about big corporate dominance that feeds their need to feel in control.  They'd rather funnel money to Bombardier and to Morneau Shepell, than incentivize the small business segment that creates 75% of new jobs and competition for big corporate players.
They're talking about incorporated professionals to fuel average voter resentment against above average earners, but what they are doing is building Venezuela.

Awesome work Mike. A piece everyone needs to read. Thank you!!


I can scarcely recall what I imagined the internet would bring when it bloomed a generation ago. But my speculation about an interconnected future did not include reading the real-time rage-tweets of a malevolent clown while he pinches off a loaf in the White House throne room, having been placed there by traitors, racists, misogynists and assorted goddamned nitwits.
Nope. I did not see that coming.


"Unconscious bias explains why the higher echelons of government and business are still so pale and male. It explains why women are still so woefully shortchanged in STEM jobs (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). It explains why we need to move even more aggressively to recruit women and minorities...

When Canadian STEM schools graduate a diverse blend of 50% females and males for 35 or 40 years then in 35 or 40 years take a snap shot of the workplace and I strongly suggest there will still remain statistical inequities between men and women but it won't be because the higher echelons are significantly pale and male...there will be many other cultural/religious/ethnic factors in play that already hold both men and women back.

If as Margaret suggests we need to "more aggressively recruit women and minorities" and Canadian STEM schools aren't yet graduating a representative mix of the Canadian mosaic, will immigration policy support largely STEM female & minority hires?


The comment section has devolved into character assassination. Good job, ADN.

He's talking about our tendency to anthropomorphize, and thereby obscure true threats. As a former resident of bear country (Kodiak), I concur 100% with him - probably the first and last time I ever will.


you are on to something....we could do a film about all the things that have been done to rectify injustice and show how it hasn't worked. After all that's been done the African American has failed to prosper. Self rule in urban areas has been a mess. see Baltimore , Chicago, DC, New Orleans, and many more. We can do a film on why three out of four black children are fatherless. we can do a film on why 6% of the population is responsible for 50% of the violent crime. We could go on and on and on..........


Lets make sure we get the facts straight. Powel used a commercial email account, not a private server in his home. Powell's email account was authorized by the State Department and secured by the appropriate government agencies. While Secretary, Powell received two emails from aides on that account that were classified confidential just last year. Condi Rice did not use email for personal purposes or for business purposes. Neither did Albright. Bush did not out Valerie Plame. Valerie Plame had not been a covert operative for well over 5 years so there was no security violation by letting anyone know she worked for the CIA. The email account you refer to was a political account at the white house and paid for by the RNC, not the taxpayers. No classified material on it. How many times do the Clintons have to fool democrats before they realize that they are being taken for everything the Clintons can get.


Bed and Breakfasts existed long before the greedy Mainland Hotel Corporations demanding that Bed and Breakfasts be made Illegal.    The Mainland Hotel Corporations need their $200 to $1000 per night charges for a concrete box so they can make big Profits for their Investors, Stock Holders while basically f__king the Locals.

At Many Modern 21st Century European Nations their Governments like Bed and Breakfasts as usually a Mom and Pop Operation of "Empty Nesters" that have a Limited Fixed Income, because they can by having a Bed and Breakfast make enough money to pay their Taxes, Property Taxes, and not become a burden by getting kicked out of their Homes of Generations, and becoming Homeless like at Demonrats Hawaii.


Are you suggesting that humans are exempt from gravity?

Or is "differs in kind" just code for "natural law does not apply to humans", meaning the ones you do not wish to apply?


Conrad Black got started early on his life of crime, by stealing Upper Canada College exams and peddling illegal copies.

House Democrats just introduced a “no confidence” resolution that questions Trump’s ability to serve as President.

This is exactly the kind of resolution we need right now: it includes a long list of objections to Trump’s conduct and holds him accountable for his inexcusable actions as President.

If Trump is determined to make a fool out of himself and embarrass the United States at every turn, we’ll support calling him out whenever possible.

Call and write to urge Congress to advance the “no confidence” resolution and hold Trump responsible for his actions.


Dear Minister of Twitter (aka chief Twit)

Some muddled thinking there, bud , to say that it is not government that is engaged in corrruption, but corrupt civilians that work in government is stating the obvious - like saying guns don't kill people, people kill people, using guns as a method or weapon.

Where is you evidence that the private security industry is riddled with criminals, and if this is true, how does this compare to the level that SAPS is riddled with corrupt people?

In the last 4 years, 80 of your own ANC officials have been murdered in KZN, yet not one single arrest and successful prosecution has taken place - why not?
It is not difficult to draw up a list of suspects - start with their rivals and those that benefit from their demise.

Stop blaming the public for the fact that your Police force is so useless at their job, and politically compromised.


First amendment speaks only about not jailing people for thier speech. (Congress shall make no law). Doesn't speak to any "right" to mouth off in private enterprise, private clubs or homes, churches, bars, anything. You are only protected from prosecution.

That point is made daily in an effort to educate the antifa and their ilk.
You should maybe make a trip to the public library and read the Constitution before exposing yourself as an illiterate buffoon.


All of the commentary on this seems to ignore the viewpoints of the voters themselves, most of whom simply want to see more jobs back in Alberta.

You could easily have urban ridings go PC and rural ridings go Wildrose, giving them a combined majority in the legislature and forcing them to work together (or face another term of NDP government).

Wouldn't that serve both parties right.


The Globe is anything but a National newspaper. It is and always will be a Toronto paper reflecting Toronto views.

Because they have an education and are doing work which requires thought and skill.

The PFD comes from the earnings of the Permanent Fund which was created by Hammond to keep the dirty politicians hands off of the money.

The dividend is meant as a check on corruption.

People, people, when oh when will you realize that oil is becoming less and less important in today's society?  Do you know how many hybrid and electric cars there are out there?  These comments of "our oil" versus "their oil"......don't you get it?  Oil is going the way of the dodo bird.  But I would guess that a majority of people on this board with positive comments about the TAR SANDS also don't believe in Global Warming..   Fine...it's a free country....just don't be surprised when 5 years from now you discover your investment in one of the TAR SANDS companies goes to ZERO.  Oh, an as an aside, no, I'm not a 30 year old living in my parents basement....I have a BAH, Ecxonomics and MBA in finance, have worked for over 25+ years in the investment industry, all on Institutional desks, traded FX, Bonds, and spend the last 20+ years on an institutional equity desk....you know...the guys that deal with, and sell the stock of these "great" oil companies......... imagine that...


It is the Taliban mindset which causes irreparable strife and discontent... and it the RC culture hadn't shifted away from imperial/triumphant mode the two might find themselves as strange bedfellows, albeit adversarial ones as both religions use (or have used) violence/coercion/perversion to bind subjects to their respective faith traditions and beliefs... a far cry from the essence of Christ's gospel message, wouldn't you agree?

Do you ever visit the RadTrad sites and observe the tone and tenor of some the commentary?  I appreciate that you are for the most part civil but the herd mentality I have seen makes one wonder to what length they might go to be rid of us nasty heretics (i.e., progressives, protestants, etc.)... this is the "sickness" which +Francis speaks about, a complete abandonment of gospel principles in favor of their cherished ideology.


With a comment like that, how can anyone take you seriously? Step back and let your school taught critical skills come in to play. You may not support Trump following clear-headed critical thinking, but you will realize your comment has no basis of fact.


You're woefully short on your understanding of MLK. First, he advocated "militant non-violence". He espoused the belief that violence meant the message was completely lost. Second, MLK consistently expressed the belief that people would be judged by their character and not the color of their skin.  All people. Finally, and most importantly, MLK expressed the Christian belief that people can change and find redemption.

Today, we have outreach efforts to gang members who kill, rob, and engage in unlawfulness. Similarly, people who embrace racist ideologies are morally lost. MLK always stated that people are morally equal. He believed in engagement.

Consequently, violence is always wrong. Engagement to bring people away from fringe elements should always be the goal. No one has a right to engage in vandalism or destruction of property because they mistakenly believe they're morally superior to everyone else.

Where in the article did it say that money went to the Russians?

Oh right,  it didn't,  you just lied about it.


most the legal immigrants here are engineers, doctors, professors, etc... Most of the legal immigrants in Sweden are refugees from war torn countries (I know this, I was one of them) Somalia, Yugoslavia, Nigeria, Turkey, Albania, Columbia, etc... in the 90s. I'm guessing its the same idea but different countries now.

Even the illegals here mostly come for the opportunity to earn money to send home, which is very admirable.

The birth rates minus immigration are negative in both countries (believe me there are socialist problems in the US too, look at Bernie's Vermont, comes in last in growth), so the fact that they shlep in immigrants to boost numbers does not mean much.

Re education, they still earn less, would rather earn 100K with no college than 50K with college. Plenty of debt still there: https://qz.com/85017/college-in-sweden-is-free-but-students-still-have-a-ton-of-debt-how-can-that-be/

It is not a question of whether the county can tax enough to give employees what they want.  Of course they can.  The question is what is reasonable pay.  This cannot be answered by referencing pay to other counties as all counties face zero competition or need to be frugal.  Pay should be determined by a combination of comparison with similar private for profit company compensation (real competition sets wages scale) and direct experience of how much pay is necessary to hire new employees able with reasonable training to do the jobs.

It is widely believed that county pay exceeds reasonable expectation for work performed.  If this is indeed the case.  We must not shy away from accepting a strike and waiting until county employees either accept reasonable wages or quit so that new and better employees can be hired.

This one Lane county voter suggests that the county lock the doors for at least one month once the unions strike.  Think of the possible park improvements enabled.


balance is good, but deceptive advertising and posturing by politicians is not to be encouraged.


If you're going to compare, you have to compare apples to apples.

Immigrant Hungarians or Portuguese or Japanese are nowhere near the # of Chinese immigrants. 0.5 Mil of 16 Mil is 3%. Is that the same figure of returning Canadian nationals for immigrants from other countries such as China?


This chick clearly is lying and wants revenge for making a stupid decision. Gtfo


It's not just money.  It's also policy. Punishment is a joke, sentences are too lenient.  Judges don't protect the public.  Halfway houses where criminals can walk away at will is a joke.  Prisons should be places that are feared, not plush hotels where you spend a little time between crimes.  The court system is too burdensome and needs to be restructured.  Courts should be about victims rights, and not focus on rehabbing the garbage of society that doesn't' t want to change.

if this is awareness month then a big discussion about the gaping lack of help for the mentally ill or those with other hidden disabilities needs work, desperately. it's much easier dealing with a physical handicap.. help with a prosthesis, wheelchair, cane, etc.  but that one person who is kind of a pain to be around, that is different or weird  - that alienates people due to whatever..how do you help them? how do you prevent john and jane doe from disrespecting the disabled person with intentional slights, snide remarks.etc?  my sister has a personality disorder and anxiety. being in public -  very agitated, it's very stressful for her - we  try to get her to engage with  people -. i've watched her work up her nerve to try to converse with someone out and about and the reactions she gets are amazing - they would never literally turn their back on , or ignore a blind person who stumbles.
 the fix must be education...it's won't be easy. not cut and dried and that's the real problem.


It will take time, but we'll get the accident number averages. If they replicate other similar designs, the new rate will be half or less.
I am impressed by how courteous drivers are. During peak hours I see motorists letting other motorists in, both from the right and turning left from the center lane across oncoming traffic. Those right turns into driveways are quicker too, as motorists can swing wider to turn and use part of the bike lane to exit traffic. Through motorist are using the center lane and barely slow.  Sure, like ALL streets with bike lanes on the right, there is a chance for a collision. But studies show that motorists and cyclists learn to expect each others actions.
Despite dire warnings, motorists are also using the center lane to pass buses. These aspects are keeping travel times down. Having driven it 9 times during rush hours, only once was it over the expected 30 seconds additional.
It's not perfect, but it's better.


The REALITY is that the state is subsidizing a declining oil industry , and increasing the cost of living for it's Residents . INTENTIONALLY .


problem is too distinguish the Real Gay from the Fake Gay
for Conservatives this is a problem
for Liberal progressive it is not because they naively think there is no such thing as Fake Gay


I believe the vote has been held, and Parliament has agree to go ahead. Many "remain" MPs voted in deference to the Brexit vote results.


I'd be much more interested in what a long time public defender or successful private defender has to say on this matter.  If I wanted to be lobbied by a prosecutor, who needs the cooperation of the police to get their job done......I'd be gung ho about this bit of fluff.


Disloyalty?  Who is she supposed to be loyal to?  A republican party that doesn't even know what they were voting for?  A party that is more interested in scoring points by doing something that. by their own statements is just "better than doing nothing?"  I rarely agree with John McCain, but he was right in telling the Senate that they do not work for Trump.  The Senate is not his employee, it is his equal.  Even Alaskans who don't agree with Lisa's decision should be able to come together to push back against bullying from the White House that tries to make OUR elected representatives crawl to Trump instead of listening to their constituents and voting in the manner they think is best.  I would be amazed that ANY Alaskan would think that this type of pressure and pettiness is OK.


Cox used to bark when he smelled fish. I guess he's got no business, so he barks wherever money goes. Why throw more money to an audit to prove nothing? Audit is supposed to follow through with some hints of problem. And when the invoices are not even ready yet, what can you audit on?


U obviously do not understand the difference between burglary and robbery.
This was a burglary by kids.
How many kids have burglarized a bank at night time?
NONE.
Why? Because of GOOD security that is required by the FDIC.

Otoh, dragonman was Burglarized because his security stunk as bad as a regular store. He did not have posts in the ground to stop cars from ramming through the front door.

I see that you have been booted once. You really need to learn some civility.


So, can the driver of a vehicle that hits one of these homeless people living on the medial (thru no fault of the drivers), sue the State for not taking care of what is an obviously dangerous condition?


I was just commenting on the idea that any increase in the cost of production will create an equivalent rise in prices, based on an actual recent increase in cost for me.

So, I agree that every step in the supply chain is potentially vulnerable to cost increases, although even if production costs rise it may not get passed on. On the other hand, 5% of jobs are minimum wage, and many of those are restaurant/retail, so the number of minimum wage jobs that touch a supply chain can be high (agriculture) to low (specialized tool construction).


we must be fair. The Rep.'s failed just as well as the Liberals dishing out the money till Donald used his EO power as it may be
just saying there's a SWAMP in Washington. They live in fear of losing their jobs everyday, how can one honestly work "for" the people li dat? Be a man of Conviction aka theDonald

Actually, given the tenants are big money companies, I am not surprised. I'm sure there were a lot a things going on behind the scenes that we're not aware of. But the DLNR need to be audited to ensure that they have policies in place and the resources to check on annual basis if there should be a rent increase. But the blame also falls on those above the DLNR who have not done their job all these years to check on their work and effectiveness. All staff in that department should be evaluated in that term.


clearsky
With a good propaganda machine the Truth can be buried. The Canadian media have that, so all comments by the media are suspect. Sad. There are, I assume, such good possibilities with the truth.


Sorry.

But I only asked you a question, I did not make an accusation.


Richard,
Republicans are perfectly capable of winning both the popular vote and electoral college. W. Bush did it in 2004, his father in 1988, Reagan twice in 1984 and 1980, Nixon twice, Eisenhower twice.

Oh and 4.5 million people in California voted for Trump, nearly 3 million in New York. If the EC were changed, middle Americans would have the same voice as everyone else--on person, one vote.


Way to stay on topic, Ken_Conklin. . . .


And supposing in answer to you challenging me for back up I had replied as you just have: "There is ample backup ... Just look for it".

You consider it civil when you dish it out, but anyone who dares to challenge you seems "uncivil" to you.

P.S. Check back previous exchanges between us. Which of us ended up having their commentary removed because it failed the civility standards? Here's a clue: it wasn't mine.


Walk a mile in their moccasins, then tell me they do nothing all day.


The organizers of the event should have seen this coming, given that a certain candidate has a long, well-known history of cruel, boorish comments. They should have had the wisdom to schedule something else in place of the candidates' jokes.


Joe Biden absolutely could do it - but shouldn't.
And Trump shouldn't run again either.
Both are too old.
Time to pass the torch to a new generation.

First off,  you can't learn English if everything is in Spanish for you: You live in a community where everyone speaks Spanish,  where you shop the Food Labels are in Spanish, Government Forms are in Spanish, the Police will speak Spanish, and you even have a slew of Spanish TV programs. You can't even learn English from your school age children because they're TAUGHT in Spanish!

Secondly, I don't know what makes these people so darn special that we have to bend over backwards for them. Nothing special was done for the Germans, Poles, Lithuanians, Italians, Latvians, Swedes, etc, etc, that immigrated here from Europe. Every one of those people had to learn English on their own, many going to Night School on their own time and MONEY -- no special programs for them. And their children were thrown into a classroom with American kids and it was sink or swim for them --- Learn English pdq or else.  And they DID!

If the Spanish speakers can't learn English they should leave, and pronto!


ask any trooper in private what happens with these " subsistence" caribou. the waste is incredible. in the spring, when they start thawing they just drag them onto the ice to float away. problem solved!!


Gingrich, Pawns?? are you reading the same article I am? And regarding " not running" how about Mark is a human being , why can't that be a reason to not trash him ?


They just slashed the armed forces budget, now they want to get us involved in a pointless war?


You don't live here, you just profit off of Alaska's oil. Go lay out in the Florida sun.

So anyone who disagrees with you is an apologist for bigotry?


Empowering the DOT isn't in the best interest of people, the problem being State agencies have the disconcerting habit of deciding the statutes regarding standards and code compliance don't apply to them. Dot has a building maintenance crew that likes to play contractor but without engineering or inspection. So then there are suddenly mysterious roof fan fires due to motors wired wrong and now the State wants to empower these people?, how about hiring qualified people and pay them a living wage instead.


How about this title: Losing more jobs to oversees countries seen as doomed after Trump victory.


Empathy isn't understanding WHY someone is upset.  That's just called understanding.  Empathy is coming to learn HOW someone came to have the views they have, however objectionable.  You can disagree with someone while still empathizing.

Chester obviously exaggerated.  But it's no exaggeration to say that Alaska leads the nation in superfund sites -- designated by the EPA as super dirty places.  And the reason we lead the nation in such sites is because of past military activities.


A great read, Ross Coen!


Talk is cheap and politically correct is meaningless unless you actually walk the walk.  Without knowing you personally we can only guess but without any mention of homeless Americans that need our help it seems the talk is hypocrisy.


One has to question how many Hawaiian fisherman actually fish in the PMNM?   My guess would be very very few.  How many of the commercial boats that fish there actually are owned by individuals who live in Hawaii?  How many are owned by corporations?  How many of the actual personnel aboard these vessels are US / Hawaiian citizens?  How many are indentured servants?  Where do the profits from this industry go?   Our legislators need to start standing up for the Hawaiian people and stop listening to the lobbyists and commercial interests whose donations misleading fear facts are swaying them from doing the right thing.  Senator Schatz is to be commended for taking the right action.


If you haven't figured it out,  here in Oreygawn,  Democrats have kicked the can down the path to insolvency withPERS for over almost 30 years.  Reining in ObamaCare costs and having a solvent state and local pension system are not going to happen.  Getting elected,  or re-elected,  negates any actions or movement to solve problems in this country.
There was zero sincerity in Republican votes to reform ObamaCare as long as President Obama was there to veto any bill that passed.  Having enough votes to pass legislation,  but not enough to over ride a veto,  means that Congress just danced and drank and fiddled,  and kicked the can down the road.  It has been no different in Oregon's Democrat led Legislature for two decades.  Democrat is the self serving party of government,  supporting government,  growing government,  yet under funding government because adequate funding and taxes would mean losing votes and maybe the majority,  so kick the can down the road.  Coward Government.


What a rude comment to assume people are lazy if they depend on their PFD.  Get a heart if you are short on compassion.


Didn't see your post before adding my comment above. Good read isn't it?


Jules
You love that auto industry story don't you?
As reprehensible as it was ( I would have let GM go bankrupt )
The loan has been paid back. So its kind of old news Jukes...
Its one time corporate welfare for GM , verses constant , around the clock ,  year over year, constant corporate welfare for Bombardier, a corrupt ,incompetent,  family controlled,  bloated ,  non competitive wasteland of a company.


4 CEOS Have Now Quit WH Jobs Panel Over Trump’s Charlottesville Response


It's all Trump's fault.


Wow...not long ago, you asked people to post civil comments. Nice example.


di-mondz, apparently desperate for approval, "Likes" his own comment!

You couldn't make this stuff up, folks.


Ms. Lange is the PRINCIPAL at Page school. She has a job to do just like all of you well, most of you anyways. If you were constanly late for work or meetings what do you think would happen? You would be fired! If you have one job to do you would be expected to do it not others. Ms Lange might be a good person, but that is not what this is about.It is about her lack of job performanse and experience. Her job is also about safety of the kids and by not doing her job, for example, not responding  when a student is blowing out while she drinks coffee with parents. Thats is not making the school a safe place. Now in my opinon  the principal should be at all school events/funraiser because it benefits the kids-your kids, but instead she is not there.Thankfully the staff and parents volnteer so your kids can have fun. It would not be possible without the Page staff and PTO members. So please think before you speak that's what we teach little kids.
It's not race it's performance.


"Besides, I don't know anyone making 100K a year"

You don't think that any Canadian makes $100,000/year?

Or if you don't know them it's not important?


I had the displeasure of meeting and listening to Bill Fulton several times. He came off as a hot head who loved to exaggerate. I would trust him about as much as I'd trust a thief with my car.


Trump is so-easily played.


You hit the nail on the head.  Reagan didn't just lower taxes on the rich.  EVERYONE received a 23% tax cut, and by reducing the number of tax brackets to just two, the middle class was squarely in the 15% tax bracket; much lower than most of them had been.
Unfortunately you can't get the progressives to look at the facts.  The Savings and loan debacle is one such situation that progressives like to lay at the feet of Reagan, but they fail to understand that the underlying problem that led to asset mismatch (the root cause of the problem) was raising interest rates in the late '70's coupled with legislation signed by then President Jimmy Carter in March of 1980.  (That's not an indictment of Carter and Volcker - they were trying to get inflation under control). The fallout began while Reagan was president, but not because of Reagan.


Take your anti-war hero anti veteran garbage and put it where the sun don't shine.


WHAT is with the hair?


"Hope Trump succeeds in getting the US economy going cause our government sure as hell won't."

I would genuinely put more hope in JT to get the economy going that Trump, although I fear both are more likely to precipitate a recession.


What an idiotic posting @shopaholic.  Move out of the state if you don't like it here.  Get a real life !!!!


"How long before....?" Was my question way back when everyone was waiting for the outcome of the recount. Well, no tears being shed in this house.
As far as "smart" goes, well it all depends how one defines "smart". She has a really tough time with the truth, has minimal compassion for anyone but herself, never knows when enough is enough — even as far as resigning goes.
Being good at politics, hmmm she sure is/was the proverbial embodiment of "How can one tell a politician is lying? Her/his lips are moving!".


It was the NDP that brought in medicare in Sask and forced the issue federally. These days the NDP is more to the centre than it used to be.

And yet, somehow so many people allow themselves to be convinced that the NDP are scary.

And Tommy Douglas is still revered. Talk about cognitive dissonance...


No fair.
DeMarcus Walker, "the quarterback menace," is a bona fide player.

Exactly. Government funding for independent media is the very antithesis of a free press - or free media. Real reporting - unclouded by opinion or bias - is not likely if the very body that is being criticized is a funding source. I wonder how far the Washington Post would have followed Watergate, if the Nixon administration had been a major financial contributor?


I laughed when I read your comment that section 7 is the "one section of the charter the progressive left detests."

So many decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada prove this wrong.  Just two examples that made right-wingers break out in spots are:

1.  Singh v. Minister of Employment and Immigration, 1985 - the one that held that "everyone" includes every human being who is physically present in Canada and therefore covered by Canadian law; and

2. Carter v. Canada, 2015 - the one that said those suffering intolerable pain had a right to physician-assisted dying.


Cowards.


Harriet, Coalition this majority that, we don't care. Just put all that aside and tell us your plan. My plan in order of priority. First State government cuts and cuts to funding for city governments.  Regulatory agencies heavy cuts because we have regulators regulating the regulators. Then cuts to subsidized housing AHFC and business subsidies AIDEA and similar offices need major reductions, the feds and banks have programs. Whole departments could go away, we can't afford them. Next welfare cuts to heating assistance etc. Next Inform the oil companies that we can no longer afford drilling subsidies and faze them out. Start a 5% sales tax so every one who comes and goes pays. Cities keep the 5% tax if they do away with property tax. Next establish a State Tax Cap. Last discontinue PFD checks and use only the earnings of the PFD to fund state government under the cap and earnings can also go to infrastructure. We all benefit from docks roads airports trails broadband water sewer ect.


Right?  Who would have thought?


Sad to not see any Alaskan seafood fish in here.  Lack of skill by local restaranteurs, or just a foreign palate by the food reviewers?  Either way, a shame not to see.


Maybe the Chinese own the Globe too.   Who knows what to believe anymore with Mr. Selfie and crew.


If "racism" is all you have going into 2018 and 2020, good luck is all I can say.

That's so completely played out at this point, no one is listening outside of your own echo chamber.


So how long does it take for training to get so bad that this starts happening? Is this possible to get this bad in 8 months or was it 8 years (Trump/Obama)?  I know I saw the USAF radar techs go from component level maintenance abilities to not being able to find a bad circuit card. That was over a 23 year period.


No , but the guy that started the whole thing is squealing, trying to get himself a good deal. You right, the cops that knew should have reported him. Their failure to do that coming right back at them, even if it was only weight room talk meaning guys just shooting the breeze while working out. I know a guy that got a great deal for squealing , the guy that convinced his partner to kill the cop that was the only witness against them Troy Barboza.  We had him in witness protection and protecting him, most disgusting duty I ever had. Williams was just plain stupid.


And still no coverage of the rioters at the UW physically assaulting, beating, and tossing paint-filled glass balls at members of the public who were exercising their right to see Milo whatever his last name is?
Pretty weak.


Matt 5:5  Certainly more authoritative than Orwell.  I would say that guax is definitively uncivil and trollish.


Not guilty is innocent.


The largest nation controlling the euro to its benefit is the greatest threat to the global economy by the exporting crisis and inflation. It must sell, sell, sell, and not buy anything or face imbalance! It is difficult to see how Canada can benefit. The UK, voted to leave for good reason. This oxymoron for a union is undemocratic, non transparent, and failing.  Shame on our politicians.

Never mind being sued, our government will also subsidize drugs costs, amid our already overburdened health care to, just to protect drug giant's patents. How many people know this or would vote for this. Deals are in secret, for five years!

This is a horrific deal handed down by the business biases conservatives, under the guise of free trade and not free trade. Trump was right to impose a 35% tariff on German cars with their unfair surplus than extend exploiting North America. No wonder populism is all the rave!


I wonder what foreigners Donny hired? Was it the rapists, drug dealers, and criminals he talked about?
Donny the loudest clown in the circus!


This mayor is the worst thing that could happen to tax payers in dealing with the homeless.  The more of our money he throws at the problem the more homeless move to Anchorage.  Let's spend zero for a year and see how that works out, most of the bums will move to other places.


Saying Trump is a hardworking president  is like saying Melania is a hardworking housekeeper because the staff keeps Trump Castle  spic and span.


Couple years from now, people will be voting again for another slate of wannabees, Would people vote out their "sugar daddies", especially those with seniority, those that bring home the bacon.


Seems to me this would be a moot question if the legislature quit playing politics and protecting their campaign donors by doing their job and implementing a long term balanced fiscal solution w increased revenue and judicious cuts.


Would that be the 9% rate that Harper planned, that Trudeau promised to match, then cancelled, now using as lipstick on a pig that still stinks?  Trudeau totally deflected a question on why he wouldn't announce something net new about the tax reform.  Likely because there is nothing substantial to announce, other than to exploit the tax code to push his gender agenda, and more convincing small business owners that they should just use their RRSPs instead of tax incentives that had been in place for decades.

Trudeau needs to be gone.  It doesn't matter if Morneau resigns or is backbenched or stays.  Trudeau and Butts are the root cause.


"They're passing the cost of health care on to their customers," Ranf said. "They have to."
This is not actually true.  Salaries for health care providers (mostly doctors) are well above average and way more than their counterparts in the lower 48.  Some doctors make more than 1.5 million/year in Alaska.  They don't have to make that much money.


Best comment here.


"..........ANWR drilling is all about free money for the oil companies."
Actually, it's all about promise of panacea for Alaskans which bring votes for the next election.
It is a ruse now, and always has been a ruse.  The Refuge (look up the term "refuge" - nothing in there about $$$ for profit)  has never had enough to make the U.S. energy independent, and never will.  It's all darkly laughable now, with a nationwide oil glut, while exporting oil.  Distribution and corporate supply/price manipulation will drive the cost of your gas at the pump.  If you think we've got a glut now, wait until we really start the flow of Canadian oil sands crude to Texas.
Renewables are gaining ground day by day, and will make fossil fuel energy obsolete by the time your grandchildren enter the job market.


What drop in prices? Must have blinked and missed it.


"....I have not [lied]. I have misspoken one time – well, not one time, a few times.”

Funny, when I was younger my mother and father always told me they were the same.


Despite the mayor's dishonesty, the legislature is going into special session to raise taxes to fund the rail because of the mayor's incompetence.

Amazing, shouldn't he audit come first?


James, you are controlled by government media. I said big government, not just Wall Street. This includes Big Pharma, the legal drug dealers that are responsible for overprescribing OxyContin, resulting in the heroin epidemic when oxy's became too expensive and demand was too high.. oh, and they spend millions of money to make sure that marijuana stays illegal..

Cut to commercial. Are you depressed? Take this pill. Do you feel like you're not quite a man? Grab a Budweiser! "Trump hates Mexicans and doesn't respect our vets."- paid for by Hillary Clinton.

Hey, where is the fact check for when Sen. Kasich said that Trump and Pence said that Mexicans were bad peoples? cause neither one of them said that.

Now watch as they quote something out of context while simultaneously saying that conservatives have taken Hillarys quotes out of context.

This message is brought to you by Snickers. Hungry? Why wait?


The governments job is to properly manage the economy.
We need a balanced budget. It took many years for Canada to balance the budget after Pierres spending spree. Now look at Junior.


Bill, no need to go low and small by hurling pointy little invectives: "such a big word for RD".

Please refrain.

You would not be wrong to put "Ph.D." after my name, but no need for that.  This is not an Engineering journal.

I'm sorry if my use of that word caused you to make a trip to the dictionary.


Also, Mr. Carrick doesn't mention the yields or returns as to his suggested bond etfs. One would think these data are important for investors to consider.


I have to agree with this.  Obama got stuff done.  Trump can't seem to get it in gear.


Sure miss them. too. So much fun seeing all kinds of young folks you didn't know lived here. Loved seeing the colorful hippies and everyone is dancing. Laughed at the people running and sliding in the mud created by the water fountains. Would be funny to see how the younger generation would dress up for a Crater Festival party. I forget the bands. I think one was Flash Cadillac. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have another one next New Year's? I will go for the photography and video taking.


The existing system was designed to accommodate two groups, but also to accommodate a society where there was students in abundance, and there was always more children than parents. The inherent duplication of effort that happens in any parallel system always has higher costs, but as long as the system keeps growing every year, no one cares.  Now, it's not, it's shrinking, and quite frankly, it's never going to stop shrinking.

Right now, there's a board here and a board there where Catholic schools are out soliciting for public students to pad up their totals. Fast forward 20 years and every Catholic board in the country will be in this situation, and most Catholic boards will be on the edge of closure.

All this ruling does is speed up the inevitable, or more accurately, stop the Catholic boards from engaging in a long, slow, costly rear guard action as they fade from public life.


What you were implying is that they are high crime because they are Democrat strongholds.....and, now that you have been debunked (once again....are you even trying anymore?), you're changing your tune.


"Does he have tax payer funded health insurance?"
Of course he does, as do 44M enrolled in Medicare. As a retired military member he is entitled to free health care, either from the VA or Tricare insurance. He also has Medicare which the member pays a small amount  but primarily funded by then taxpayer.
You may be insinuating he has free health care because of his status in government - he doesn't. All of his insurance benefits have been earned.


Every single claim of Rep. Bill Johnson is a myth.
1) Cutting the business tax rate to 15% (from rates "up to 40%")
First of all, most all businesses pay nowhere near the official top rate of 35% (not 40, Mr. Bill!  Why lie about something that anyone can look up?).  Much more typical: ATT paid a tax rate of 8.1%; Boeing paid a tax rate of 5.4%. last year.  A few companies (with bad CFOs?) certainly pay 35%.  I have no particular objection to lowering all businesses' tax rates to the same 15 or 20% (with no special deals or loopholes for anybody).  BUT, the cost of those cuts is estimated at $2 trillion in lost revenue.
See http://www.marketwatch.com/story/trumps-15-corporate-tax-rate-could-cost-the-government-2-trillion-2017-04-25

What's going to make up the income shortfall?  You guessed it, raising either individual tax rates or raising the budget deficit.  There isn't much else.  I wonder which of these Mr. Bill is for??


There were some good "diverse" (read black) movies this year. There were NONE last year. There were also some ok "white", movies. When white meets black and the blacks had an empty basket last year..."who d'ya think they gonna vote fo Willis"??


How about some rent controls, specifically capping the allowable annual rent increases? Denver is a great town but I had to move away because I could no longer afford my unrenovated 1993-built Centennial apartment with increases averaging 18% every year for three years running. Allowable rent increases on existing leaseholders should be held down to something reasonable.  Barring tax increases rent should be capped at no more than the preceding years rate of inflation.


What the numbers say is that vote suppression works.

For Hillary Clinton, or any Democrat, to have won, the combined total of the Democrats + GOP votes had to be at least 130 million votes.  The total is currently 128.5 m.  If it had been 1.5 m more, Hillary Clinton would likely have won.

Across the US, roughly 120 m eligible voters did not vote.
Yet we focus on tiny numbers: In critical states, key groups of voters stayed home, as the article points out.

Also, in 2012, 3rd party votes were about 1 m.
In 2016, there were about 7.6 m.

If even 1/5 of the extra 6.6 m votes had gone to the Democrats and Republicans, Hillary Clinton would likely have been elected.

As a tactic in vote suppression, getting voters to vote for no-hope 3rd parties is just a good as getting them not to vote at all.

Those 3rd party votes were Hillary Clinton's undoing.

Are the 7.6 m who cast those votes happy with themselves now?

Shame on them.
And even more shame on the 120 m who didn't vote at all.


In fairness to Lady Gaga, it's got to be the first time anyone's sung Woody Guthrie at a super bowl half-time show. ("This Land is your Land", not mentioned by Russell).


You are correct.  The state and local agencies should never have been allowed to underfund their contractual obligation to the retirement fund.  Years and years of underpayment have caused the UAL to grow.


I think you just proved all my points.

I'm not a Muslim but I'm sure one could step in and give the same sort of theological reasoning for why the vast majority of Muslims do not read those violent verses literally. And, you can't make special pleading for the terrorists who blow up abortion clinics.

The fact is that the vast majority of Muslims are people like you who treat their religion and faith as a source for good in their life. They are well-meaning people who promote peace and love above any of the darker aspects of their religion's texts or history. The fact that you can't see that is the problem.

Another fact is that Muslims are often the target of violence from people who view them as potential terrorists. Muslim's are also the biggest target of terrorist organizations - by far. So when you say a Mosque opening up increases the chance Jihad shows your utter fear-based bigoted outlook on a major world religion.


Someone should do a study of how many recent accidents were by carriers under medallion AND under the new Polaris CMO boondoggle.  I would bet....all.  Coooncidence?  Nawwww - blame the pilot and the 'safety culture'.  The FAA is all about 'risk transference' anymore- not oversight.  They would prefer to sit in the office and talk hunting camps and collect that 6 figure salary and per diem.

The FAA and Medallion can't help alaska flying but what's the next step?  They are trying to push into spreading to Hawaii....that's the newest coolest thing for them.

Any guesses as to why?


All he and the half a dozen or so other rabid trump supporters have left is trying to deflect the story onto something else.  They quite literally have nothing left, nothing.


Free stuff for all!


YA RIGHT.


$550,000!?  Peanuts.  Why haven't the feds indicted the insurance companies, hospitals, doctors and drug companies that have stolen $50,000,000 or more from Alaskans via inflated medical costs?


Businesses were closed on Sunday to placate and reflect the values of Christian churches.


What part of misleading judges isn't contempt.


"Barring a miracle oil rebound..."
It's a matter of when not if there will be an oil rebound. It has always gone up and down.

"At one time, fairly or not, women were seen as more intuitive, sensitive, protectors of virtue and honestly, helping to control the baser instincts for power(money, sex, violence) that many men show. I think we've lost some of that balance. But there's no reason that men can't change their behavior(more empathy), if we expect women to change theirs." Thats about the one thing agree with you about. I hold men including my son responsible for their actions. Men are responsible for their part in getting women pregnant but i am not willing to make men responsible for women who choose to excluded men from the decision when they do get pregnant. We either come together and make both people responsible or let women have complete responsibility which feminism has taken from men and put on women. You just cant have it both ways in my mind. If its your body your choice then you accept responsibility. We need to teach people self control and not do what thou wilt.


unteaching


That was sort of what i was thinking. Everyone saying its someone else's responsibility. Then i was wondering, Is there a rule that prevents them from bringing in porta potties ? Would the state/city require a special permit or something to do it ? Maybe that is why its not happening.


I live in the borough about a mile outside the Soldotna city limits. I live on a dirt road (with potholes) and neither my nor my neighbors properties have addresses........ So what was your point?


Well great, that's why they weren't arrested.  But how stupid do you have to be though to protest against the very things that give you the freedom to protest? Sure, you can do it, but it's senseless.

So clearly they're at least stupid enough that they'll drive away their paying customers who don't go to the games to hear their opinion, but to watch a game, a brief moment of respite from politics.

Hi sir, I'd like a cake that says Happy Birthday.  No, you get cake that says You Suck. Awesome business model.


In other words, you are against traditional America!


Will be interesting to see how lawmakers deal with having to build levies, lochs, and/or  dikes like New Orleans in order to protect all of the development they have allowed in areas like Kakaaako.

Another consideration is who is actually using the water. When the conservation warning went out in CA some years ago, it was found that the general population only used around 2% of CA's water, and the rest went mostly to ag/industry. Cutting 20% from the 2% of users was mostly useless.


Hope?

I hope this is the end of secret negotiations to peddle our economic sovereignty down the river.


this is a really valid issue that  needs addressing. i personeally feel that there is enough wealth in this country to support reasonable health care to all. with one really big, ugly, tough to take caveat.  we cannot spend an inordinate amount on certain populations. first are the prisoners. they deserve the same healthcare as others...but when did gender reassignment become a necessary health care covered in prison.infamous killer richard speck was transitioning to women to the point he had fairly large breasts - courtesy of our taxpayers. i don't want to pay for pedophiles and other heinous sex offenders who are going to live out the rest of their natural life in prison, getting old. why? our goal is to never have them on the streets again? so why not skip "B" and go right to "C"?
 2 are people who are not going to come out of a coma. heartbreaking, my sister's grandson is in a vegetative state and it tears up the family - there is no closure and it's expensive to the taxpayer. cont


Just the ADN trying to perpetuate the AGW propaganda.  Reversion to the mean is likely.  It's going to be cold for the next 4 years.


I enjoyed reading this! I am a Vegan in Alaska but I also live in the bush. Our stores don't carry many options for produce. Usually potatoes and oranges. Sometimes they have apples and lettuce but that is pretty rare. Full Circle is a huge blessing here. Reading this was super good to here as I will be in town for the summer and it's so nice to know that it is easier out there!


The RG text has been changed. I like your version.


My comment shows up here, but I've pasted it below in case you're curious.

"more explicit terms"? Mean-spirited, pejorative, and ignorant of the diversity in the homeless population all come to mind. We can help our fellow citizens without disparaging them.


There must be an error in this article, who can imagine Bell or Rogers wanting extra money from its customers???????


The Flemish pass is very deep and is in rough waters (think the movie Perfect Storm), but has the potential of the largest reserves. So expensive exploration wells are to be expected. Suncor (Petro-Canada) tried exploration there, but bowed out after a couple of 'dusters'. Now they are in a joint venture with Shell in the Shelburne Basin. Big risk, big potential wins, but that really is what the oil patch is all about. Same thing happens or has happened in the North Sea.


Yes, sadly and seriously.  I'm as pissed at Trump as anything else.

Still, my dad and I talked about it for a while today and feel like we need to send a message. He wanted to burn all the tickets for the year, I wanted to sell to some good friends who happen to be Raiders' fans. This is our compromise. Not watching the game on TV either. I don't buy a lot of Bronco gear but I won't burn my TJ57 jersey or my SA27 either.

Good thoughts about donating to vets or kids. Probably won't happen as empty seats are the idea here. We'll see how the season goes and where this protest goes. Didn't watch the game yesterday which felt weird. It sounds like I didn't miss much.


Poor guy walked right into a bad situation with a woman he wanted to spend time with! People are crazy!


Sadly, I'd bet most on here aren't aware of the scam you're referring to.


The best device to take to the woods is the Garmin Inreach. You can set it up so someone can find you even if you are incapacitated. It can tell where you are within a few feet. I never go off the grid without it. Works everywhere on the planet.


I agree with you about taking directions from Pelosi.
Anybody that does is worthless.
But, I see it kind of like taking directions from trump,McConnell, Ryan, mccarthy, palin, etc.
All of them are absolutely horrible and do not care one whit about our nation.
They are busy taking care of self and their close rich friends.


Whew!  You are on an intellectual roll!  Keep the 30-year old Limbaugh (another fat slob) epithets coming.  I love to walk down Memory Lane.


trump is no different from Hillary...he is a freemason and all for the new world order. We are getting same stuff


Thank you for your reminder. I think we'd both agree, however, that our catechesis and especially our liturgy continue to be grounded in a theology of atonement for sins: Confiteor, Kyrie, Credo, Agnus Dei and the narrative of all four Eucharistic Prayers.


3 weeks ago Stephen Paddock walked into the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas, opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle converted with a bump stock, and killed over 50 people.....
And you are worried about some athletes taking a knee prior to a ball game...
C'mon people...snap out of it....!!!!  Are we really not better than this...??? Is this really our thing in America...???
We are cool with mass shootings because of the Second Amendment...but taking a knee is uncool....It is just not rational....
God how we have lost our way...!!!


Lock him up!  lol


Trump only gets upset if the attacker is not Caucasian, or a white supremacist. The history is there. It's easy to see. He just wants to boost his racist base, and politicize these events by non-Caucasians in order to pass his racist agenda.


Hope for the best. Plan for the worst.   That's a fair summary of "Repeal and Replace" system we are presented with thus far.

Seems unlikely they have a plan ready as the ACA was technically a 3rd draft bill. The first two drafts kept getting voted down by Republicans forcing them to re-craft the bill over again. But the thing is, each time they finalized a bill, they tasked the CBO (Congressional Budget Office) to crunch the numbers and make sure the numbers added up and I see no news about any bills or proposals being sent to the CBO. If they really have a bill, but see no need to send it to the CBO, then Republicans are basically getting ready to screw over 30 million Americans who gained access to health insurance from the ACA.


They can jail all the illegals:) Works for me.


There should be a great business opportunity for hydroponic U-Grows, similar to the U-Brews that we now have for beer.  Back in the day, I brewed some very nice IPA in one of those.


This was censored?!

Glad I was able to rebut before it disappeared...much more satisfying.


This is not an editorial but a dilettantish harangue. Who appointed the G&M scribes to sit in judgment over the US government when they cannot find it in themselves to do an equivalent job on our own?


Well bless Jackie, Linda and the staff of Island County Human Services for working hard to find ways to best allocate these funds.  I know how incredibly hard this staff works to bring direct services to people.  It appears however, that once again, bureaucracy is managing to get in the way of support to those most in need, the very youth who the dollars are directed toward.  My father was a white collar Production Manager,  at Boeing.  He used to jokingly refer to himself and his peers as pencil pushers.  It appears that pencil pushing at the state level are keeping these funds from doing the good they are intended to do.  Trusting that Jackie and her staff can get past this.


Is he implying that Clinton and Obama are Jews ? They are both globalists.


Those diary people!!  Always writing!!  Be bold Bernier!  You got this!


PERCEPTION...
COMPASSION....and
SPIRIT

These shepherd virtues are often scoffed at in the name of  alleged "higher" attributes, say: CONFORMITY, CLARITY, ORDER.

As Pope Francis said recently, we can lazily take false comfort in black and white rules OR we can also be open to the risk of learning from His tremendous gift, "the flow of life." A new pro-life message, maybe?

Clearly, Archbishop Quinn surprised folks when he opened up himself to perception, compassion, and spirit experienced in the flow of life, and eschewed the minimal expectations from on high to "just get those uppity Vatican II women in line...for their own eternal good of course.."

Thanks, Ken.


Best to let a judge decide what is necessary and fair in this case. We don't want to negatively impact operations of the only Blood bank in the state.
Taxpayers may end up paying to relocate the blood bank but that may be a fair and appropriate way to handle this claim. They aren't just any business or landowner, the entire state depends on them and that should be reflected in how Hart deals with them.


I am one who is.

Approving the sale of raw dairy products will open the door for production of raw milk cheeses and additional economic opportunity for local agriculture. Requiring a label allowing individuals to decide for themselves whether or not they wish to buy the products is preferable to an outright ban.


And speak English.......ironic?


Doesn't make sense. Young bulls need the time to mature and breed so their genetics are out there. Game regulations aren't thoughtless, and before they existed a taboo did on taking young bulls. Sustainability is the priority.

Not exactly. Most industrial climate change emissions are the result of nonenzymatic oxidation. A key feature of this form of oxidation is the formation of toxic compounds, from carbon monoxide to dioxane. A reduction in climate change emissions will help reduce the poisons in our air locally. I'll take that as a by-product any day.


Margaret, it's pretty hard to argue against doing "something different" when "something" remains undefined.  Have you any suggestions?

I am heartened by the British resolve in both London and Manchester to carry on as normally as possible in the face of tragedy -- and sickened by Corbyn making political hay out of it.  He has spoken out against increased surveillance in the past, making him a hypocrite as well as an opportunist.

Terrorism is notoriously difficult to stop.  The cells are loosely organized, if at all, and there is usually little warning that a tragedy is in the works.

Heightened vigilance is, of course, required.  So is prosecution to the full extent of the law for those found plotting attacks.  I don't think even civil libertarians would object to a closer than usual eye on any group known to be hostile to the status quo.

But we must never give in to the temptation to become a police state, intern people based on faith, or act outside of the law.


This is all good. I applaud the administration, now act on it.


Absolutely.  Watch the Truth about Unfounded to get an understanding about false accusations.

So enlighten me how the USA isn't a bankrupt country?  except for of course the Government can just print money


You have the freedom to hate America all you want Danny.  Hate on bro.


Billy Ray, you know that repealing Obamacare doesn't repeal Big Pharma or doctors unions or for-profit hospitals or attorneys or insurance companies, right? And you do know that Trumpcare actually benefits all of those groups more than Obamacare does, right?


...."It's people choosing irresponsible  behavior".... Ha! Got you!  Of course pot is inanimate. But, once you have chosen to consume the inanimate object, even with INTENTION OF USING RESPONSIBLY....eg. I am going to smoke a couple puffs and then I'll stop. That is a choice of using responsibly.  HOWEVER  once having consumed your mind IS alterd. Period. Losing all inhibitions you no longer have a responsible mind. You choose to forgot your previous responsible choice and therefore act irresponsible SOLELY BECAUSE OF THE DRUG. So in essence it is the drugs fault. Of course that only applies to the addict, eh ?  And never pot ?  I've known of girls sold for an ounce of weed.


We can all play politics and blame "those other guys" for the issue.  Goodness knows, we've been doing that for decades......hasn't worked out real well, has it.

How about, instead, working together in a non-partisan fashion to actually address the issue in a constructive fashion.  We need to look at both sides of the equation......revenue and expenditures.  Should we increase revenues....that generally means "should we increases taxes?"  If so how?  Then on the "flip-side" , Should we decrease expenditures?  If so how?  A few friends on the site will chide me for stating the obvious.....they're right, it is obvious.  Since it's so damn obvious, how about doing it.  It won't be easy......on both sides, revenue and expense, any actions large enough to make a difference will "gore someone's ox" and every special interest group will be there working to see it's not their ox.  Dust will fly and, when it settles, we see that can.........kicked further down the road.  Gary Crum


There are internal mandates in China to clean up their pollution.  They understand the problem.  I work with vendors in China, and I see the changes in their manufacturing.

Go blow your "China is evil America is great" P.R. smoke up someone else's tail.


I guess now we need to change the name from Bear Creek to Chicken Creek!


Hey Trump voters / Republicans, are you all ok with using socialism to clean up this mess from Harvey, or should we let the free market handle it? Just curious.


Scotch is good - it gives the drinking age right on the bottle.


Unless the public sector is making a product and selling it; public sector employees are being paid by the money private sector workers pay in taxes from the money they earn from private sector companies that produce and sell a product. All the money starts in the private sector, unless our state government is printing it.  Which I'm not aware of.


Doubling down on your racism after it's been factually pointed out.

Seems you can't face the awful truth of your own racism.


Don't kid yourself.  Almost all of the "funding" is taxpayer money.  Plus a bunch of money for "overhead" that goes to the owners of Cook Inlet, but is not considered "profit", but is just as green and buys just as much.


Well, just don't sit there tell us who issues fake news.  Of course, you will name the press organ, quote their so-called fake news, and most importantly of all, show absolute proof not just afinger point.  Be aware that you will be libel and other goodies if you foul up.  But you started this - so now finish it!


Problem with doctors - they are encouraged by drug companies to not 'heal', but prescribe. This one just took it to extremes. Problem with medical industry  - this guy will just go to another state and start it all over again. Who cares if he surrendered his license here. He has another one in AR and will most likely get another one in another state. When people start to realize we do NOT have the best health care in the world and it's NOT just insurance companies, but doctors and hospitals that cause our health care costs to rise, then things can change. But people are so brainwashed that it's all the insurance companies and lawsuits to blame. It's not. It's doctors like these and there are LOTS like this one. My guess the majority.


I think this is a wonderful story and yet I have seen it three times now. Why can't we see the same repeated story about the good things that happen in Alaska Native villages, instead of when something goes bad? The ADN needs to adjust its performance and perspectives. All I ever read about the Alaska Native villages is when something is wrong. Let's be fair.


I am shocked that anyone would approve of and condone and incite lawlessness:

"So if you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of 'em, would you? Seriously. Okay? Just knock the hell — I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees. I promise. I promise."

Correct. I just meant to point out that we have the skill sets and desire to apply for dollars for such services such as mental health and addictions prevention and treatment; these services, without us applying for them, would just end up in other hands outside of Lane County (with us taxpayers still paying for them).


Liberals and ethics ?  Talk about a dichotomy !


He wouldn't even talk to charities for free let alone on his own dime.


have you ever taught and graded a lecture with hundreds of students while working sixty hours a week on a federally funded research project?  He was being paid entirely by the Federal government to do the research, and UAA was basically getting a class taught for free.  Here's how research works:  you get hired by UAA as a research professor.  they don't pay you at all.  you have to go out and get a grant from an organization like the National Science Foundation.  UAA takes the entirety of that grant into their coffers, and pays you a stipend from it, as well as all of your research costs.  the rest of the money (approximately 58%) gets taken by the university for "Facilities and Administrative costs".  He is effectively paying the university to employ him.  On top of that, the NSF expects a product in return for all of that grant money.  That peer reviewed paper is his sole contractual obligation.  the people who actually pay him have no lecture requirement.


"A phalanx of bicycle police officers..."

That seems redundant to me.


I don't know what you would accomplish questioning Hillary when she and Bill are pathological liars.  They simply cannot tell the truth about any subject matter.  Remember, Bill was disbarred for not telling the truth.

You assume way too much from the information available. No wonder it's all wrong. You did get your sermon in though.


Most produce regularly tested comes up negative. They even test some produce at swap meets. These are isolated incidents. Voluntary compliance is succesful.


Not a platitude but a fact of the nature of being a compassionate human being.  When a person vilifies another it is that person who is filled with anger and hatred and who suffers.  Give it a little more thought.


How would you address the amount gun deaths in America?

As if Hillary Clinton owes anyone her acquiescence -- or should care about the irrelevant views of the online trolls and spiteful Trumpers or even weary Democrats who wish her to disappear. Just go away, they insist? Easy for them to say.
She might indeed have been the first female President of the USA. And she did win 3 million votes more than her crude foe, a fact that irks him and his fans still. If anyone has the right to protest Russian or FBI influence on Trump's behalf, it's her.

"As long as they don't understand what they are dealing with, they won't be able to come up with a plan to counter it."  This is a true statement about current congressional leaders and our nation's Affordable Care Act.

I disagree with your first statement.  As long as Steve Bannon is in charge of our country, both parties can only trust that our branches of government will check Bannon's thought process putting our due process among other rights in grave danger.  Finally referring to members of two parties as "right" or "left" dismisses Americans in both parties who understand and respect leaders with a voice of reason not fear and lies.


Updated information has John Robert Neumann honorably discharged from the Army, not that it makes much difference to the dead or survivors.  It is, however, consistent with a generalization of him as one who had minor scrapes with the law, but whose misdeeds or crimes did not rise to the level so that his employer or law enforcement was especially alarmed.


Who will clean up the G&M which endorsed both the BC Liberals in 2017 and a Harperless Harper Party in 2015 though ?

Done with ya' !

Thanks for the memories....


If this were a program that started, say, 10 years ago, I would be much more pessimistic on its success due to the biking infrastructure that we had in this town back then. But with bike paths built, and more to be installed, along with the establishment of new communities that are more favourable to a program like this (Kakaako and the Mod/Beatnicks that live there) there is a chance.

Now whether the pessimism that many derive their pleasure in this town kills the program over the positiveness that both the HBL and political leaders are giving to this, we will have to see.


That statement from the Jan 6 is exactly what I mean. "The US Intellegence Community is charged with monitoring and assessing the intentions, capabilities, and actions of foreign actors;"  And in the end, all they could do was give estimates of confidence, which a few times differed between agencies, that somehow pointed to Russia. If there was evidence, Trump would have not been allowed to be President. Obama would not have allowed it. The second statement, "it does not analyze US political processes or US public opinion" is confirmation that the belief that Russia somehow influenced the outcome of the election is just that...US political or US public opinion. No sly form of dishonesty.


except governments are not having children and should not be covering the cost of child care. that is the responsibility of the parents

What a wind bag talk about an empty barrel nanny babe is the biggest of them all, maybe she can borrow a few of the "I want to be a cow girl" hats and then they can be twins.  Amazing how big a jerk she can be.


He was arrested in California. The DA's office just couldn't re-arrest him here in Colorado. The judge said he need's to hit the rehab, and hire a driver. He thought the judge said hit the girlfriend and set the tire on fire. One way or another he's gonna hit the pokey if he keeps this up. Dude, go to rehab already.


Under his reign and CDOT - average transportation is WORSE in colorado. could argue could be worse but his results are pathetic and typical of gov bureaucrats


A friend of mine was showing me around his new SUV. When it came to some of the convenient"cool", but hardly necessary bells and whistles, he was genuinely surprised when my response was "meh." My dinosaur station wagon , now 14 years old with 124,500 km on the clock, has computerized fuel/engine management and door locking. The latter is now screwing up as I can no longer open the rear doors with the key fob. At least it still has keyholes on the driver's door and rear gate, unlike the Tesla parked next door.


It's a dingbat hipster issue.


People have a right to self-definition, as do gender groups. There is no Bro Code (and the actor whose role invented it is gay).


As the Health Care legislation debate in the US Congress demonstrated, Trump is incapable of either negotiaton or compromise.


A 95% full-time jobs percentage hasn't existed for thirty years so that's your first lie.  The average full-time job proportion for the past thirty years has been 80% under ALL GOVERNMENTS.
Your second lie is Harper's achievement on jobs.  Statistics Canada has the answer:
Out of nine governments studied, the Harper government finished LAST in job creation, last in exports, seventh in government debt, second last in personal income growth per capita, in business investment, in youth employment. All indicators were measured using annual data from 1946 through 2014, as obtained from Statistics Canada and other public sources.

You miss my point. Unwise and foolhardy, sure. Deadly? That's a bit of a stretch. If you said "can be deadly" I'd buy it. Sure, along the same lines parachuting out of a plane is deadly... there no room for error. My point is vessels of that size are designed to handle that type of storm. They don't want to be caught in them, and a wise captain would steer clear of them, but when they do they tend to survive.


They don’t give a damn about college kids trying to get ahead in life.

Trump’s budget would cut the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, which would hurt middle-class and low-income kids who study to become public health doctors, or public interest lawyers, or do other good works.


The Child Behind the Eyes was not supported by the state Down syndrome group due to the offensive, outdated language.  A representative was there for the panel discussion afterwards to clarify the "then vs now," but local parents refused to endorse or partner with the production.
