"Canada’s economy grows as resource-sector rebound continues" "Canada is sending a record amount of oil to the United States, filling pipelines to capacity and threatening to push more crude into rail cars. U.S. imports from its northern neighbour jumped 17 per cent to 3.46 million barrels a day last week, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said Wednesday in a preliminary report. That’s the most since the agency began collecting such data in 2010. Exports have surged as Alberta recovers from wildfires that disrupted supplies earlier this year. Astounding............... all this economic activity generated by an industry that is a national afterthought - in a small province of little importance just watch the economy roar when all those Eastern green projects like solar panels and windmills start to come into play...................

At Soviet time in Russia we had a joke: In the TRUTH (main Communist newspaper, called PRAVDA, translation from Russian - "truth") there are no news, and in a NEWS (another major Communist newspaper, called IZVESTIA, translated from Russian as a "news") - there are no truth. Since that time nothing was changed. There are no independent journalists at all! In any country - Russia or US or Canada. Who pays money - those order a music. About Ms. Freeland grandfather....

WOW. That's not at all what is going on. Way to misread a post and apply trendy buzzwords. Want to read his post again and try again. There's some truth in what he says, and you should really make a better attempt to extrapolate that truth. Have you looked at foreign tuition? It's usually 4 to 5 times as high as domestic tuition, sometimes even higher. Do we really have to explain to you WHY colleges and universities would prefer to have students paying $10-20k per semester verses those who pay $2-6k? Not everything is a conspiracy theory. You just have to look at simple economics to understand what he says is going to happen to an extent (maybe not as widespread as he says, but still a problem, none the less)

When one considers, that even since the beginning of the Enlightenment in Western civilization, many of the West's greatest scientists were also people of faith, her statement against faith is profoundly uninformed. To be a scientist and a person of faith are not mutually exclusive realities. Only a simpleton or an anti-religious bigot would imagine that to be the case. An impressive resume is one thing, but in her case the best it bespeaks is capacity, clearly it does not bespeak wisdom or real intellect.

This is a very misleading and confusing article. First of all, the kid can't "commit" in any kind of official capacity to play for UO. He is a freshman in high school and nothing will be official until he signs a letter of intent his senior year. Plenty of things could happen between now and then, including Taggart leaving UO. If the kid is good, UO will be happy to have him. If he's not, Taggart will either let him down gently or bring him on as a walk on. Since he's moving to Eugene, we can all show up and watch him play in HS and since we are all SO knowledgeable about football, we can decide for ourselves. Either way, it's a non story designed to gin up more controversy about a coach that admittedly has brought some controversy on himself.

The US has turned a blind eye regarding this problem for decades and then some. Trump is trying to address the issue.

Good comment. Perhaps the coaching staff knows how to get them to the next level (Charles and excepted as they already played at a high level) Perhaps they just needed to surrounding cast.

Good column. It's very clear that the goal of people like Steve Bannon is to discredit honest journalism and to create a world in which facts are malleable, where people will give something from Breitbart the same credibility as something from the New York Times.

Ignorance: to be unaware of or to not have true knowledge regarding a subject Stupidity: Having the knowledge but refusing to accept it. As I read these postings, it is evident that there are 2 certainties regarding these postings: 1. Most of you have no idea what scripture actually teaches, making your statements based on ignorance. 2. Some of you have rejected the truth of Gods written word and refuse to accept or seek it. That's your choice. Why than, attack with growing malice, what you don't accept? It makes little sense. The whole of the Gospel is to love God and love people. Remember, "Christians" are imperfect people. True Faith is exactly this. Work on yourself, love people, love God, share faith. There are both good and bad in every "culture." Why is it that all Christians are lumped as "bad?" So.....under this logic...Mother Theresa was a racist, bigoted, homophobic bible toting hypocritical follower of Christ. The logic doesn't add up.

Congratulations on your propaganda art of smearing and confusing. Caldwell is Hawaii's Trump. I never entertained & have NO interest in an income job from Mayor Djou. I am a concerned citizen interested in seeing good government work for the people. I cannot stand corrupt PAY to PLAY officials like Kirk Caldwell. On second thought: Mayor Djou, can I have the job of Mr. Ray Soon, the resurrected Chief of Staff to Mayor Caldwell? Mr. Soon is paid $125,000 a year to smooth relations with the City Council. Mr. Soon is also allowed to manage his own personal company concurrently. As I see it, Mayor still have plenty of problems working with the City Council. I've attended more City Council meetings than Mr. Soon. Or, how about those special jobs used by Mayor Caldwell? Those bogus positions on paper (about $50,000 to $100,000) but actually acting as personal PR political hacks for Caldwell? I could be a quick study on smearing and disinformation and move your podium all over :=)

Just to be clear: Employer (that means taxpayer) contributions go to 22.15% of payroll, with an automatic increase to 24.15% if PERA's optimistic investment return assumptions turn out to be wrong. This means either cuts to other education programming that benefits our kids - sports, activities, AP classes, social/emotional supports, etc. -- or higher taxes via Mill Levy Overrides, since more state funding for K12 is unlikely to be forthcoming (due to competing needs for more infrastructure spending and rapidly rising social safety net costs). This additional taxpayer money will go to teachers who, thanks to TECDA, can't be fired, no matter how poorly they perform (if they are in a union school), in a state where chronic teacher absenteeism is rampant, where we are told that more than 95% of Colorado's teachers are effective or highly effective, but where less than a third of our kids graduate college and career ready, in a system on which taxpayers already spend billions.

...And name calling is the last stop for those who have run out of logical arguments. I have not called anyone here a "denier" and I'll assume you'll never call anyone a "leftist." The frustration felt from those who have accepted the scientific consensus stems from their feeling that the planet is headed in an unprecedented direction (due to human causes) and yet there are still many who balk about doing anything about it. The world is not about to end, they feel, but the human habitability of it "may" be ending. At the very least it definitely headed toward uncharted territory for us. So when people claim they think nothing is happening, or we couldn't have possibly caused it (what a joke!), it is alarming that they are not accepting of the very same science that brought you computers, cars, energy production, modern medicine, etc. What is the downside to pushing for cleaner energy? Heaven forbid we actually clean up our bedroom, so to speak.

They have been "in the vanguard" because the civilian leadership has been able to enact their social engineering ideas on a captive audience whose personal rights and beliefs are subordinate to those of the civilians. The larger society can resist change because they are free; those in the military are not. When someone like Mr. Ash sets a policy, no votes are held, no 'public input' is sought, no 'stakeholder involvement' is asked for or desired. Personally watched That for 22 years.

A further example of Trump's great hiring skills as if his incompetent cabinet isn't enough. The good news is, the best attorneys wouldn't represent him, so he's stuck with legal representation that will likely make Mueller's job of evicting Trump and family from the Oval Office even easier. If the 2016 election is proven fraudulent, a do-over is called for; preferably with paper ballots and a paper trail on which to rely after which each and every one of his appointees should also be removed -- a fresh start for a legitimate president.

There was no insurance for healthcare when I was growing up. When insurance lobbyists approached the government the taxpayers were assured that insurance companies would not "interfere" with the care needed. They dictate your care now. If you don't see it, you are in denial! I also remember the response from our compassionate healthcare industry. It went something like, "in order to make up for the cuts insurance companies are getting for our services we have to raise rates and increase incidental care". Now you know why you have to be referred to a specialist. Because the insurance company created an obstacle and your doctor figured out a way to make a profit from that. Nobody cares about your health. You are a mark to be taken advantage of. That all goes away if we socialize medicine and it will cost less than what you pay out of pocket now. Cut out the middleman and bring back healthcare professionals who care!
