When will you people learn? Liberals are not loyal to Canada.
Nothing Liberals have ever done has benefited Canadians.
They create monopolies, increase taxes then use them for other pet projects, remove rights,sell off our land or give it away, flood us with other cultures and play divide and conquer with race, gender and religion.
They have no problem targeting children with propaganda IN OUR SCHOOLS!
They are Soviets in all but name.


I think the point is that restrictive gun laws don't work, and should be abolished.


Hillary doesnt care about women, or women's issues. She cares about her power and that is about it. What a hypocritical putrid human she is, to put it nicely.


You are wrong.  All most none have come true in the time frames that have been predicted.


Close enough.

Is Edmonton where Garland is confined?

Garland was convicted of butchering the grandparents & grandson in Calgary.

Within 24 hours of being transferred to his new home, the welcoming committee hospitalized him. This change in physical conditions should allow Garland to socialize more freely with his fellow inmates.


Actually, fish for a week in the sun does not have a strong smell. After a week, it is pretty much like jerky.
It is when it sits on shoreline going back and forth, or is not exposed to the sun, that it smells horrible.

Just correcting the fake news.


Birds singing, sun shining, clouds of tears gathering.  Zatoichi walking, domestikgoddez eating a pie, Dejain picking a flower, momo18954 bleaching the laundry, AreaSkeptic teaching class, hughe saving the treasure, and Silverhorn feeding the dogs. Now that everyone has a job, get to it.


you have it almost right Kc, except one small detail.  The general fund does pay into social security. It pays interest on the $2.9 trillion that the crooked politicians borrowed from SS. The interest on those securities is about $145 billion annually (5% of $2.9T).  So the general income tax is paying that interest. The social security "trust" fund consists almost entirely of these IOUs.  Thank you very much to both parties.  Bottom line, there is nothing trustworthy about the SS "trust" fund.  It's gone unless and until someone pays it back.


I don't get it, why don't they complete the citizenship paperwork and requirements NOW then?  it seems the responsible thing to do...


Had the NDP not had so much baggage from the past and if they were more friendly towards the interior she probably would have lost outright.  The fact the NDP couldn't defeat the party badly after 16 years of baggage says a lot about them.  Off course assuming they do form government, people will judge them on their record then, not how they governed in the 90s.


Have a problem with pragmatism, do you?


Keeping it classy at the GM.


STOP LYING.


Except that the article expressly mentions Bush's rhetoric in the war on terror as an example of a kind of worldview that is linked with Trump's. I certainly agree with you that now all convservative evangelicism is of a piece (it was actually a point I tried to make last week in response to your comments about the Catholic right). Nonetheless, I do not think the Spadaro article does a very good job of making these distinctions, especially when, as I say, it offers up Bush's rhetoric in its parade of horribles.


Manner of death will be declared a homicide, no matter whether we consider the guy a 'victim' or not.  Same as when cops gun people down - righteously, justifiably, or inexcusably because they are afraid (the recent Larimer County shooting of an unarmed young man) .. the deaths are considered caused by a homicide.


Reporting on and drawing conclusions base on only a small cherry picked number of those "facts" is just as dishonest as out right lying. I can tell you right now as individual who is fairly decent with numbers I can use facts and real numbers to prove you have a great company or one that is falling part, it all depends which "facts" I use.


"This is where the popular culture of that country shows itself to be far more sophisticated than its Commander in Chief, for this kind of cool is beyond him."

And with that statement, Russel proves beyond any doubt he is an irredeemable twit.


The 6,000-pound elephant in the room is Mina Morita's lawsuit questioning the legality of Tom Gorak's appointment. Ironic since she is the very one who recruited Gorak to the PUC in the first place.


maybe they didn't know about the vote due to lack of it being published


Someone tell me how this "tax" will reduce carbon emissions?  Especially here in Ontario, the polluters can buy Carbon Credits and not reduce emission.  If they really want to do reduce, they will have to make carbon reduction some type of law,


I do hope that Paul Romanuk does not get the Sens again. He seems to want to have an angle for everything & the way the game is unfolding is irrelevant. He should learn to just call the game. That's why they are called  play-by-pay announcers. Luckily he had Galley there to bail him out.
Keep Galley, lose Romanuk!


No worry Govenor Walker has another special session going so he and his Democrat friends have another crack at raising taxes and maybe taking what is left of the  PFD to further expend Government....For those of us now used to tightening our Belts and finding ways of doing more wit less another challenge....


Just glad that we have a competitive race for Gov.   Often we would get uncontested or weak challengers.
Quiet and Ineffective does not cut it in this day and age.  Perhaps our Gov will become a one term wonder like his predecessor?


Thanks, as ever, for the hemispheric update. The impact of these emerging dynamics will require a coherent response from our government and ourselves.  We will be called upon to look out for our neighbours and each other in the days ahead.


your dream come true, silencing all dissent.


Yeah, it is.  Look through the international frequency of radical Islam terrorist attacks...you'll see nothing basically before the 1980's (I think there was one in the late 1970's).  Then, Iran overthrew the puppet we forced into power on them, and it ticked them off.  So, the attacks started...a little at first...then grew in frequency slightly until guess when?  Our Iraq invasion.  That's when we pulled the lid off that can of worms, and it really uncorked since.

Again, like I said in another post to you....we wanted this war on terrorism.  Guess what?  We got it.


I still don't see why we need a city hall.  I have not seen any analysis about the cost of the scattered services in leased areas vs. the cost of a city hall that will only address a small portion of the needed space.  Indeed this may be an example of hubris not what is the most respectful of the taxpayer.

It is both the city manager and the city council who seem to be at fault here.  The city council has ultimate authority over the budget and these decisions.   They don't seem to ask the best questions and demand accountability.  The citizens need to ask for more business savvy people to run for  council.


Listen to Mr. Free Market who wants to increase the role of government intruding in the market with  legislation and regulation.


We applied for a family member.  We had a year to complete everything...and they keep throwing more forms and more $$$ charges at you.  If it wasn't granted in that year's time, then you had to start all over...same paperwork, more $$$ charges...ridiculous.  It's a money-making scheme.


Ironically, the closest President ideologically to Obama was Eisenhower (possibly the brief Ford).

Heck, even Reagan had more in common with Obama than he would have with the Trumpeteers.

(I'm making an allowance for the fact that on social issues all current politicians -- other than apparently wack-a-doodle Roy Moore in Alabama -- are significantly more "liberal" on these topics today.)


if a white student or professor had said the exact same words except substituting - muslim - black - palestinian - latino.... you better believe there would have been a human rights trial and conviction and dismissal.
So, I call bs on this as the progressive, left wing racist baiting thugs like this woman and the staff who support her pull this hypocritical baloney.
She should suffer the same fate as anyone who was white and Christian would for saying these hateful things.


Where is the State in cooling the promised 1,000 classroom?   All shibai.


Vance Joseph has lost control of the team.  The best for which we can hope now is that the Bronco "brain trust" learns a lesson from this season.  Don't let it drag on, like we did with McHoodie.


No wonder their stuff tastes so good!


Really?! PTSD from an carriage accident?! That is one fragile bride. C'mon. Soldiers suffer from PTSD.  Abused children suffer from PTSD. Talk about a 1st world problem.


Agreed - and my 2nd grade experience was over half a century ago!


When I worked for a property management company the attorney & court fees were something around $300. Which we requested as part of the judgment. Rarely did we need to call the sheriff, so it was unusual to have that, but it was around $120 when we did. So nowhere near $1000.

While some tenants were worth working with due to a history of rent payment, when you have someone who is constantly late, generates complaints from the neighbors, bounces checks, etc, you don't work with them when they are handing you a reason to evict them. And if they owe $250 today, in less than 30 days they will owe another month on top of that. Now we're talking serious money while we wait for a court date, which could be a couple of weeks away. Meanwhile you have a mortgage, utilities, & salaries to pay.

There are excellent reasons to start evictions as soon as there is any past due rent. Those who do intend to pay often come up with rent, late fees & court fees between filing and the actual court date.


Connor:  from a treatise from Osgoode hall and UofT
 "Embracing, governing and exercising authority
are  necessary  constitutional  actions.  Understanding  the  Constitution’s
fluid  state  of  being  is  also  necessary  in  regulating  governmental  prac-
tices.  In  pursuing  these  activities  the  Court  has  said  the  Constitution  is
organic and animate; in fact, the Supreme Court has repeatedly written
that Canada’s Constitution is a living tree."


Kaspaorof, the Russian chess wizard, says this is all done by Donald Trump's man-love, Vladimir Putin. "No one else in Russia has the authority to do it; this only be done at his direction."


And the true comes out THANK YOU, THANK YOU


This country just became poorer. Stuart McLean helped to translate our diverse country to Canadians. My family and I will miss him immensely.


Using your logic then the rest of the UAA operations should be funded by alumni, yes?  Would save the state gobs of cash.


Who's got the money and the impetus to open 1002? There is a GLUT of the stuff in the USA. What would be the point? By the time it's on line, oil will be worthless. No more oil wars!


We have private road service LRSA. And we are plowed within hours of any snowfall, then sanded and in the spring they sweep the sand and fill cracks as well as clear ditches for drainage. All for 1/2 the mill rate of Anchorage bowl. So our private system works great!  Hilltop ski area.


pps,  Nothing I'm saying has anything to do with Christians not being "perfect."   I'm talking about history and evangelical and fundamentalist Christians being delusional about having the only One True God, and the Word of God.  I doubt you have experienced the horrors I'm referring to.  But you should be able to honestly look at the violence this "Christian" society has inflicted on the whole world for a really, really long time.   It's the history that real hate mongers like Richard Dawkins use to denounce religion. I don't do that.  I don't hate religion. I love religion; I love Buddhism, too.  I would like to see Evangelicals got over worrying about God and everyone else, however, and put all their focus on themselves living up to Christ's example.  It's a full-time job.


In this case it was a convicted rapists head. So... let's cross that bridge when/if we come to it.


It's great that he cares for his dogs. It would be even better if he cared enough not to put them in danger in the first place.


Red Cross.


You do have to study the laws,rules of road and pass a test - otherwise known as drivers education - in order to obtain a license. Also - not to be picky - but the primary purpose of a car is transportation, where the primary purpose of a gun is to inflict injury and/or death. Why? Because it's a deadly weapon. See the difference?


Please for the love of GOD! STOP WAKING ME UP EVERYDAY WITH YOU RUDE AS HELL DELIVERY DRIVERS DESTROYING THE PEACE AND QUIET WITH THEIR NOISY, NO EXHAUST HAVING PIECE OF SHIT, GREEN MINI-VAN WITH PLASTIC FOR A REAR WINDOW. I HAVE WRITTEN TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE NOISE WENT AWAY FOR A WEEK THEN COMPLAINED AGAIN, NOTHING! CALLED AND TALKED TO JOHN AND HE SAID HE WOULD TALK TO HER BUT, HE GAVE ME A NUMBER TO CALL BECAUSE HE KNEW NOTHING WOULD GET DONE. HE WAS RIGHT! I FINALLY HAD TO CHASE THE DRIVER DOWN AND SHE SAID, "IM GETTING IT FIXED THIS WEEKEND." WELL ITS BEEN OVER A WEEK AND SHE IS BACK AND IM ABOUT TO LOSE MY MIND AS NOONE WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!  please stop the noise! fix the van! fix the van! fix the van! fix the van!


The 'Nyets'....year six and NEVER won a playoff game and not making the playoffs again! lol


Don't you already have enough traitors working on Capital Hill?


"Stop insulting those who do not want women to kill the children in their womb"

Here's the thing...I am Catholic and the Bible very clearly says "Thou Shall Not Kill" and that pertains to people all over the world.

Our current American foreign policy is killing millions of innocent people...Babies,children,mothers... are being murdered for corrupt reasons with our tax dollars.

If Christian Conservatives spent as much time fighting against that blatant violation of God's law as they do fighting abortion,perhaps more than half of our tax dollars wouldn't be spent on killing people in other countries.

Then we would have money to take care of people in our country,veterans,disabled,Babies! and their mothers.

Sometimes people don't want babies because they can't afford them.  If you want women who can't afford it to have their baby, then give them the help they need. Without judgment.(remember Jesus?) End the wars, there will be plenty of money to support Americans and even cut taxes!


So....
somehow that ameliorates cheating on your spouse?  Because two women didn't divorce cheating husbands?
No problem with the woman who was the liason between mobster Giancana and claimed to abort the President's child?  Marilyn Monroe?  countless others....but that's okay in your world?  No problem because Jackie wasn't dying - just suffering miscarriages and a stillbirth.  But that's okay???

No problem with lying to the world, relying on the definition of "is"?  or the other women who came forward......

Sad.


Canadian Railroad Trilogy and Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald....two of the greatest
stories Lightfoot put to music.


CNN doesn't think, there are absolutely NO brain cells available in their newsroom.


Even better, send them North to see Denali, or East to Valdez.  No bridge, and we get a third the traffic.  If only.


Wrong side for a decade is a bummer eh cdn


You chose to be offended. Stop watching.


Hugh Segal was most and foremost Bill Davis' factotum. And the mantra of that duo was "if we don't do anything about this today then maybe we will never have to do anything about it".

Not 'great' conservative or anything else!


Good for the kids!  I hope they never lose the desire to have their voices heard in elections.


Glad to see Andy doing so well!  I remember when he announced he was battling cancer and that was a battle he was going to win!  Hoping things are going well!  Best wishes with the show to all the comedians!


"...homeless people or service workers at mall businesses could be affected negatively by the ban."

Aren't they already negatively affected by smoking?


This is perhaps the most vicious example of "catch and release" imaginable. Catch and release these poor individuals so they can serve as a never ending source of employment across the spectrum from drug dealers to judges.   I would ask how much did that lady pictured pay for that meal?  What did she do to earn it?  Does she understand the concepts that effort results in reward and that self discipline (including avoiding drugs over lunch)  protects one from hazards?     If she is mentally incapable of functioning in society than shouldn't she be institutionalized to protect herself and the general public?  What actual good is accomplished by "warehousing" her in an enviornment of law enforcement and social welfare that doesn't end the cycle of behavior that is the source of the problem?


Hate to rain on your parade people.  I just sold my house, paid 202,000 some 25 years ago and just sold it for 860,000 and damned if I'm prepared to allow this deal to be screwed up by the Wynn govt and her whiners.  Toronto and area is a world class city and should have world class property prices.  We have been under priced property wise for years, time to catch up with the rest of the world.  I will be moving my close date up to counteract Wynn's move and then facilitate a relocation to a province where Liberals are an endangered species.


Well, the Clinton Foundation has an "A" rating from Charitywatch and their financial statements are online (tax returns, Donald?). I like the fact that the Clintons use their wealth to help others instead of buying another gold-plated shoe rack.


Yeah you tell 'em brother, wait, What did Assad do to America??? #MAGA


What is with this constant reference to finishing last a season ago?  Hey, Your Leafs were trying to not win.  They were doing everything possible to lose games.  Remember?


.

How much more convincing do you Sheeple need ?

Read any of the numerous "Grand Jury" Investigations of this corrupted institution.

They(pope, cardinals, bishops et al) are the faces of  a Cancerous Institution filled with Criminal Heretics of the highest order which have hijacked a faithbased teaching that goes against their sick minded thinking.

It amazes me to see "you are all still wallowing in this cesspool".


The choices are either Guantanamo or a trip to the Vermont -Quebec border where he can be turned over to our RCMP valet service.


Seems like powerful doctors lobbies won over 15 million salaried Canadians who subsidize these rich people so they can enjoy tax breaks
Perhaps 15 million salaried Canadians should get together and send 15 millions emails to Justin Trudeau to allow us such tax breaks


Ned: In two consecutive posts, you list information that contradicts each other. In the first one, you indicate the Pincer Creek farm lasted 23 years which is close to 25 and then in the next one you are citing they will last only 15 years.  At least be selective in what information you are going to use to support your points.


one problem is the racist aspect of awards given specifically to one race over another.


I'm curious.  Can you identify the "government solutions promising equal wealth to everyone?"

For the life of me, I've never heard of it before.


Hooray for the entitled of the world!! Someone to look down on us all and ignore the problems of inequality while simultaneously benefiting from it!

#wheresmyhossenfeffer!!!???!!!


Not really.


Strange how people move and morph throughout their lives. Bill Stoltz I suppose like so many others is no doubt a "fellow traveler." I remember when he was Rep. Sam Cottons-Democrat legislative aide.


We had a birth at Sacred Heart (at the old location) that bordered on malpractice.. It ended with a nurse cutting my newborn baby's foot with desk scissors, removing her ankle tag without looking at what she was doing. She had to get stitches.. as a newborn.. It was a HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE experience, start to finish, everything from pushing formula, refusing to give lactation training, moving us to a shared room so they could have the single room for a 'potluck', broken blinds, freezing room, disdainful nurses and ambivalent treatment..
It culminated a few weeks later with me having to go back for a post birth hemorrhage (retained placenta) that almost cost me my life..  Never, ever again.. I never heard from the nurse who cut a dime sized piece of skin off of my baby's foot.. not even an 'I'm sorry'.


It must be warm in Florida this time of year.


Look - I'm not arguing that he was not mentally ill. I'm just saying that his goal might not have been any message - start the revolution or whatever. This was the highest profile event possible with the conclusion of suicide.


Great job again Chad. Without CB we wouldn't have investigative journalists in our state.


Poor decision.  Let Nature takes its own course.


There is a lot of competition for academic positions, and multiple candidates having essentially equal qualifications occurs frequently.  Deciding between them on the basis of race or gender is racist or sexist.


There is a bike path around most, if not all, of Kapiolani Park.  Here’s a map of the area.  http://hidot.hawaii.gov/highways/files/2013/02/BikeMapOahu-5c_HonoluluDetailWaikikiKahala.jpg

As I recall, in some places the sidewalk is right next to the path, so if you were on the sidewalk, then it’s possible you could be cited.  If you’d like to contact me with more details, I’d be happy to try to help you figure it out.


WAIT!  I thought Y2K was going to kill us all.
Are these the same experts that said 90% of us would die because of the Y2K computer problem?  Remember? Jan. 1, 2000, All the power companies, hospital equipment, banks, airlines, water treatment plants, rail roads would all shut down and not be able to boot up again.  Within days people would be fighting hand to hand for food.
