Sez you. La de da.

Good article. It's clear that the armed civilians saved innocent lives by pinning Whitman down. Today's more heavily armed police might be able to handle the same scenario without help from private citizens. However, they still can't be everywhere all the time. Armed citizens stop crimes thousands of times per year before the police arrive.

Donald see above discussion. All Alaskans are stockholders in their own assets. We have a chance to be more democratic than all other states because we can affect the board of directors (leg) and the chair of the board (gov) actions. The value of our stock has been reduced...thus the leg and the gov should receive critiques and repercussions.

To continue the point, Garner was NOT put in a chokehold. He died exacerbating his own physical limitations/ailments, caused by his own actions.

To be really fair, they should stop every car going 36 in a 35 mph zone. But I am glad they aren't completely fair. I'm fine with them picking and choosing a bit. They do this because while it is a law, few people know it. They also choose this because a driver not knowing this law can end up with someone else being killed. A jaywalker puts themselves in danger, as do bicyclist lawbreakers (I know, plenty of exceptions). But I like the general rule of focusing on situations where the lawbreaker puts others in harm's way.

Another form of slavery. Been there, done that. They are doing something with their lives: they're living.

Shouldn't this how business be conducted? Why the news?

Heather Meyer, earning her $25 an hour working for George Sorrows? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kehZYVtljCE

I do not think you know what are you talking about. 15% is Federal tax rate on net company income. If one is drawing salary he/she pays taxes just like anyone else acording to tax bracket. To boot if earning over 3K then Company pays CPP and individual pays CPP as well. That is double since he/she owns a Company. One can draw an income in form of dividends which is 8.1% up to 38K and 41% over 202K. Note that dividend is paid and taxed at this rate after the 15% of tax. One also needs to consider benefits before leaving regular emplyment. Yes, there are few benefits, writing off, mileage, company car, office space in your house, tools and so on. Dividends can be paid only to shareholders of a company. There are some ideas floating around about what some companies may do to avoid taxes, but in bulk most of them are tax fraud and evasion. Best thing I like, is that I do not have to listen to uninformed superiors, like the one who suggests incorporating, without knowing circumstances.

He is a wishy-washy fence-sitter.

Any decisions that Trump makes are made with Trump's best interests in mind. Not the US's.

I look forward to the day that the Prime Minister represents ALL Canadians, not just his activist causes. The next election cannot come too soon!

Preposterous nonsense unsupported by any facts. More hate dreaming by a Hater. You do realize of course that Harper was our PM in 2015 and Trump had already started his hate campaign..

"Housing affordability measures will be in spring budget: Ontario Finance Minister" ---------- How can a government that is endlessly increasing taxes ever claim to be implementing "affordability measures"? I keep thinking I'm going to wake up from a bad dream, but no such luck. I wake up, and the Liberals are still there, In fact, it got even worse, with Zoolander as PM.

ph lefty lib troll no one cares what bs you think about the conservatives, go back in your cave and stay there

Dinner and a movie?

#MAGA is quickly losing ground. #FAKE NEWS and #HILLARYLOST is their new cry. Lol. #BIGGESTWITCHHUNT, #LETSBERUSSIAFRIEND

It is very interesting to me a graduate of a Catholic Medical School, where I was taught in the 1960's that pedophillia was not a treatable condition, that so many Catholic Bishops sought out psychological treatment from a minority of psychologists who attempted treatment. Most of these "treatment centers" have fortunately been closed as useless. Some have admitted their mistake and attempt to treat other psychological problems. Yet Bishops even today use the idea that they were misled by psychologists. Too bad they did not consult with the women Catholic Social Workers trained in their own institutions about these problems. It could have headed off this scandal. Yet Bishops were willing to pay to keep these specially ordained men in the ranks. They were willing to stand up for their own clergy before they were willing to protect our children. Some of these same men are still powerful today. FIRE THEM NOW!! yes the shout is purposeful...

I don't trust the Liberals. They started with a lie (Less than a $10 billion deficit, Syrian refugees by the end of December 2015) and it continues. Also notice that briefing have almost disappeared and there is no embedded journalist with our troops as there was under Harper. Clearly, the Liberals are so arrogant they believe theirs is only valid opinion and we, the underclass, had better toe the line.

More women work in retail, so comparing one to one jobs is not appropriate. Factor in danger pay, seasonailty, less job security and less transferably and the 'wage' disparity drops off. Do I have a number? No because no one is wiling to do a study thay address the deeply flawed methodolgical isssues. Also, none-wage earn time is not even factored in, only wage earning time! Its just a red herring that is used as a false standard-bearer.

Okay, the number of Americans who applied for a grant of citizenship rose by 70 percent in the 12 weeks following the election of President Donald Trump when compared to the same period a year earlier. Percentages are absolutely meaningless. If it was ten people last year, a 70% rise would be 17 this year, which is not very many. Stop playing games and give us the actual numbers. I think this is just another way the media is trying to make Trump look bad.

Adapt or die. Darwin is waiting for you!!!!!!!

I rest my case

Ellen Weintraub can go to hell, and the sooner she is packed off to that particular place, the better.

Both of you are wrong because George was an advisers to Trump and there are pictures of him sitting with Trump at the meetings. Manafort was running Trump's campaign for a short period of time and he was later removed. Trump is now trying to distance himself from these people by saying he didn't know George and that is a big lie.

And of course the writer did not mention SIR Royalty Income Fund.

Sorry Barrie, the title should read "Canada is placing bets on 'open science' to drive INVENTION". While worthwhile research, like your bike example, the (often US) companies are the ones who create the lucrative new product category and complete the INNOVATION. They are the ones getting the IP and reaping the economic benefit... Nice try though.

This pipeline has sparked an Indian movement that has been festering for hundreds of years. The thousands of people who have joined the Hunkpapa Indians are testimony to a larger problem. You will find nitwits arguing that a pipeline is the safest way to export the oil. The question ignored is, who does the oil belong to? I say that the oil belongs to the people. Nitwits say we have to move huge amounts of oil. Why, on God's green earth, why? We have a glut of oil right now sitting in storage tanks. Why not leave the oil in the ground for now, the best storage? Why drain every drop of oil from the ground in record speed? How stupid can you get? The Indians are the only ones showing intelligence and restraint in this situation. Many white people agree with them. The authorities say they arrested dangerous protesters. However, they did not arrest the security guards who brought in vicious dogs to bite people. How stupid can you get, Mr. Dalrimple?

Yeah but ... so? Any group of people who believe that their race, religion, whatever is superior and ought to replace and eliminate all others is a PROBLEM and I don't care what their race, religion, whatever is. Nazis, for example, are a PROBLEM. Nazis ARE bad guys, period. They have demonstrated (check out some mid-20th centry history, for example) that they are a MAJOR PROBLEM. Let's not allow ourselves to get sucked into observing that some people from non-white races are also racists and concluding that therefore Nazis have a right to do their thing. They don't! Nazis ARE bad guys, period.

Illegal aliens vote multiple times in our elections. Thanks to democrats, no one is allowed to check to see if they're real citizens or not voting. Democrats actively court felons and illegals as their main voting block, as well as halfwits like liberals. America is becoming worse and worse, thanks to them.

I guess the plus side is he didn't try to use anesthesia and kill his patients. How do people get suckered for surgery by someone like this? I suppose it's price.

Maybe the legalized weed attracted the weirdos?

Yup, but most voters don't. Elections are annoying, when they go against you, aren't they.

Congratulations on a well-deserved win.

I will be celebrating the anniversary of this attack by taking 34 bong hits of sweet cannabis flower which i purchased in washington dc

Why? The study was too flawed to be convincing. Fortune Magazine, hardly a left wing periodical, responded with a byline that said: "The Seattle Minimum Wage Study Is Utter B.S." ( http://fortune.com/2017/06/27/seattle-minimum-wage-study-results-impact-15-dollar-uw/)

SB 21 results in our dividends being redirected to the Oil and Gas industry.

Meanwhile millions of illegals continue to cross our southern border with impunity.

Teach your grand child not to look at people's genitals while in the bathroom. Problem solved.

The way I see it, "immigrants" -- by which you seem to mean people of colour rather than WASP stock -- do the jobs WASP white Canadians are too darn lazy to do. When did you last see a WASP white Canadian running a corner store, or a dry-cleaners, or mopping the floors in a hospital? No, "Canadians" are too good for jobs like that. "Canadians" go to university and get semi-useless degrees just so they don't have to mop floors or drive taxis. But someone has to do those jobs, and unless WASP white Canadians are ready to step up to the plate, it'll have to be immigrants. And immigrants of all colours and backgrounds and religions, not just the palatable WASP ones.

' Murkowski voted against adequate funding for the VA. . She's no friend to the vet. . She only uses them as props. Her self-proclaimed 'support' is a disgusting sham.

Bagwan - Bill's niece in Dallas here -- just wanted to thank you for sharing this of my uncle.

Ms Wente writes "progressive left"....... oxymoron alert !!

Is that why you up-voted the guy who said it would be funny to see whites getting beaten down?

Forgot to include malpractice insurance.

Only 39% of Canadians who voted picked Trudeau. 32% of Canadian who had a right to vote did not do so. Do your math Trudeau has a majority in the HoC and can more or less act like a dictator for the next few years with only 1 in 4 Canadians having selected him as leader. Sad indeed. I am therefore quite sceptical of the polls that appararently say he has such a great approval ratings.

When you're honest you get banned by ADN site trolls.

"The savings go to offset the cost of uninsured patients, he said. In 2016, OMC’s uncompensated care costs were $4 million, Lewis said." Really? Our uninsured population would be covered by the tax emption status of most hospitals non-profit exemptions that are required to meet the value of their tax free exemption in indigent care. Audits show the vast majority fall way short.

I agree with Thomas. Comey will stand by his earlier testimony that there has been no pressure. The 'memo' is an obvious fraud and the NYT fell for it.

It's getting close!

who do you think will subsidize the damage done by climate change?

Crux has a much better written and more balanced article on this topic. https://cruxnow.com/commentary/2017/07/24/manichean-style-hatred-must-resisted-left-right/

Annoyingly yelling "GO DUCKSH!!" will not get you out of that drunk in public ticket.

This injustice simply CANNOT stand. We will not live in a fair and just society until white people have been punished for the sins of their forbears and reparations have been made to ALL people of colour for the centuries of persecution at the hands of Imperialist Caucasians.

You assume without proof, then build the case based on premises you have assumed, got it. What if you started from personal choice/constraints and worked from there?

Just like Sessions should get up to speed how the law works, you could benefit from a bit of reading how the separation of powers in the USA works. HINT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_powers_under_the_United_States_Constitution

"Silencers?" "Tactical gun?" "Grenades?" Sooo, literally everything you know about guns and gun owners comes from Hollywood movies. Got it. . You know, it's ok that you know nothing about guns, but you could go to the range sometime to actually meet gun owners-- they would probably be all too happy to show you and teach you about firearms.

It's really clear to me in reading these comments that people posting haven't been downtown on a regular basis since the dog ban. I live downtown(in the core) and it has changed dramatically. Much more police presence, far fewer loiterers, very few dogs, the yelling and screaming has decreased markedly, the park blocks are cleaner and in general there is a happier attitude of those who visit/live here. The issue of safety is improved through the increased police/red hats presence. I don't feel like I'm walking on red alert like I used to. Again, I live in the core of downtown Eugene where all the problems were occurring. It's a much different place. There will always be the mentally ill and street people/travelers who have trouble obeying the law but their numbers have decreased markedly. I would encourage people to visit downtown and ask the business owners how they feel about the changes. Every one of them I've spoken to appreciate everything that's being done.

First off blabber, I want to thank you for your concerns regarding the well being of our once beautiful, peaceful State. Your passion is powerful and you sound like you're twisted up in knots over the true loss of our State to greed, pollution and special interests. I've spent the last ....wait......since '88 trying to bring awareness to locals and all most were concerned about was buying and selling and the worship of the almighty $$$. The only way I could find piece of mind for an outright impossible situation is/was to withdraw. Take care of yourself. I care. l2g

Amazing. I can buy a house, a car, food, clothing. dental care and insurance, house insurance, bicycle, tricycle, tv, computers, furniture, flowers, vegetables and on and on and I can't buy medical care. Canadians would start a new standard by having health care in the private sector and a Guaranteed Annual Income for the poor. The poor could live like the rest of us

Trust me, the 71% of us with common sense that don't support paying a terrorist $10.5M will not forget about this when the next election comes up. In fact, we'll keep this front and center every day till that time comes. Not to mention the billions Tater Tot has given those muslim countries. That won't be forgotten, either.

Many of the individuals trying to defraud Canada’s visa program are from the same socioeconomic groups or regions that once paid smugglers – also called “snakeheads” – as much as $70,000 to arrive illegally on Canada’s shores by boat, government briefing documents show. ======== Ok they are from Foken province, a place traditionally semi-illiterate farmers want to emigrant. Many gangs among their society and many restaurants, Chinese supermarkets are owned by them here.

How is this the lead story on denverpost.com on the same day as the worst mass shooting in US history? If you are the editor of Post webpage, you should just quit now... even if you were told to do this by corporate. Where are the adults in this freaking country?

bust the TRUSTS ..pay taxes like the rest of us !

Better check your stats, again. The last (and only) time the same sex marriage issue was put on the ballot, our state overwhelmingly said no in 1998. I believe it was ~73% of the voters who voted said no. Then gov Ben did the bait and switch/sleight of hand w/ civil unions. Of course it didn't pass until 2009 - 2012,but I'm pretty sure there were many Dems who made up part of that 70%+ figure, so your comment is inaccurate. Blaming the Republican party for Democrat party failures is called transference. Its a typical Alinsky tactic (e.g. Trump-Russia collusion, when it was DNC/Hilary/Podesta/Obama-Russia collusion). For your comment to be accurate, the issue of same sex marriage would need to be put on the ballot again, voted on again, and THEN the outcome would be clearer. Abercrombie railroaded it on us, despite public outcry against it. And a statewide vote, to boot (i.e. 1998).

You are sooo funny. :)) OK, and now.. what is your answer to my question? :)) BTW, in this article Le Pen (no firend of mine), has not said a single word against charity. Her only point was about the role of the state and government, and what are its primary responsibilities. :)) So ... and now, if you would care to answer my question....? :)

And the deterioration of the quality of Canadian auto journalists continue. The likes of Cheney, Laturnus, Whitney, etc would never mistake the M2 for a sedan, It's called a coupe. Sigh ...at least we still have David Booth and Graeme Fletcher.

Randall Wilson writes: "The Harvard Law School's Immigration and Refugee Clinical Program just issued a report..." ============ And who - exactly - FUNDED this report? Every time - every single time - as soon as you see who funded any piece of research, or report, or conducted a poll, you know EXACTLY what the conclusion will be without even reading it.

Yes I am and from everything I have read in scripture it is an accurate comparison. Sorry you disagree...? I don't think of your friend any differently than I would think of any other believer dealing with their own personal journey in following Christ. You keep using that word but seem to still lack a grasp on it's meaning... If my beliefs manifest into an intolerant attitude then that would be bigoted but again, I am having a hard time seeing that in my previous posts. There may be some of that in my mind but it's surely not where my heart should be and of course is not the attitude the church should have towards those it disagrees with. Thank you for the reminder to put my own beliefs below the respect of others. Do you ridicule your friend for his belief in "sky gods" and association with such a bigoted religion? Or do you save that for people you don't know trying to give a respectful counterpoint that you disagree with on the internet?

If down votes counted for anything Alceste would no longer be on here.

Freedom of speech is a fundamental right of a healthy democracy.

Also, for xtians that want to retreat into child-like fantasies about their god coming to end the world and save them, etc., I have a suggestion - get out of the way of those looking to provide real leadership for the future. Stop voting for fools or even just stop voting altogether. According to your eschatology, it won't matter anyway. So maybe butt out of worldly affairs, and let the adults run things here? You guys can spin yarns about the rapture and other fairy tales to your heart's delight.

Personally , I'm offended by the racist ANC flag , but I don't think that will make any difference in anyone's life. I got over that a long time ago.

It is an interesting debate. I'm certainly a strong supporter of property rights, but there is a balance that's necessary when you have many land owners in close proximity to each other because there is some spill-over affect. That's why we have cites/towns, and rural areas. The choice to own land in a city/town comes with the knowledge that property development will have more limits places on it (zoning) as compared to rural land ownership where there aren't nearly as many close-proximity neighbors. Now, while that is a justification for zoning in cities/towns, it's not an endorsement of extreme zoning limitations. I still favor only modest limits applied by zoning. Land owners still ought to have quite a bit of leeway with what they can do with their property. But there are some big things that warrant limits to keep character of the city/town intact.

Paul tells us Jesus emptied himself of his divinity and became a man like us in all things but sin. He wasn't psychic. More to the point, he likely wasn't concerned about the bread provided at the Last Supper. He had other things on his mind.

As long as we get value for $$$ spent on education BUT that does not seem to be the case. When the education system stopped teaching basic skills of reading, writing and math and jumped into social engineering they lost my support.

Muck - The Democratic Party had an excellent chance to modify our immigration laws in 2009 and 2010 when they had a filibuster-proof majority in the US Senate, a strong majority in the US House and President Obama in the White House. Their inaction on immigration back then makes it easy to believe they like the screwed-up system we have today.

Psssssssst: Vested interest. Of course. "Corruption"...hardly. When does any board of directors reflect a makeup apart from those who have an interest? Not a penny has been spent other than the $1 a piece per year for the board members. How in the world is that "corruption" save for in the mind of a manic?

incredibly irresponsible driving that put many lives at risk.

I would have been far more interested in a more introspective change in policy preferences and priorities than I am in a change in personnel. Since their election, the Liberals, and I am one, appear to be increasingly disconnected from the genuine interests and concerns of Canadians. They would do well to realign their policies and dedicate their time and energies to those issues identified as the priorities of Canadians.

...pics and film of Abe and JT from APEC summit says otherwise eh!...

Start building prisons? Whats wrong with Robbin Island for starters, thereafter Tristan da Cunha leave some shack material, they surely know how to build some sort of shelter

Re: "Trump knows China is the future." Is that why all his 'goods' are made there?

Um, did Hillary Clinton or John Kerry have significant experience running a large organization like the State Department? No? Were either of them experienced diplomats? No? (Sigh) I thought so....

Great more zombies among us? This is exactly WHY there is a drug problem and addicts. There is no control of it, the purpose of the addiction to heroin is that the user needs to increase the dosage over time, until an overdose does occur, because that is the actual addiction of it.

Scared of a lil crosswind?

They weren't "assault weapons". That term is a name fabricated by the media. Based on the information released so far, they were all semi-automatic modern sporting rifles, legally obtained, and legally modified. Fortunately, it isn't up to you to decide who needs what type of firearms. You are making a lot of assumptions about how many people would have died if he had bolt action rifles instead. Personally, I have no interest or use for the slide-fire stocks that he used. I've never seen the fascination with them, and I do agree that they probably shouldn't be legal. But as to the rifles themselves, there was nothing exceptional or illegal about them (as far as I know from the information released so far - that may change as more information becomes available).

But bike lanes are almost entirely on city streets and city streets are funded primarily by local property and sales taxes.

Not in Vancouver they don't. Most can't afford to live anywhere near the center of the city, especially if they raising a family. And there is only so many dwellings in the inner city too .... not everyone can live there even if it was reasonably priced. Funny how they tolled those bridges but not the one that was built across Okanagan lake connecting West Kelowna, Peachland, and Summerland to Kelowna. Why should that bridge be different. Like it or not we have a transportation system that makes our society run via the transportation of people and goods. Why should some areas be punished and others not. That's just plain crazy and insulting too.

1/2 Agreed, we are discussing issues prior to original sin. I am using Last Common Ancestor in the sense used by geneticists in developing trees of life. That perspective sees no discontinuity at any point in evolution, and most certainly does not entertain our specific religious problem of ensoulment, a necessary and irreducible discontinuity from our perspective. In imagining, in speculating, about a solution, I accept direct creation by Yahweh in the sense of ensoulment as inescapable, but see no reason to imagine the direct creation of the bodies of our earliest ancestors (which you seem to see as required?). Indeed, Yahweh directly creates everyone of us in the womb by a similar act of direct creation, of ensoulment of sexually reproduced biological matter. I suggest that once one ponders the equivalence of that first ensoulment and all subsequent ensoulments, each an instance of direct creation, then the starting point disappears as a problem. ...2

Points well taken, Jake! But, we all need serious reflection. In context, The KEPLER galaxy research satellite is finding evidence of untold numbers of Earth-like planets in deep-space. Planet Earth is but a dust-speck in context of cosmic expansion. Evolving life on Earth is ever in transition, as the extinction of humankind is likely if not inevitable. It is insanity to witlessly accelerate species extinctions. Being petty and presumptuous is tragically silly and wittingly stupid. The truly 'religious' thing to do is to begin to respect all life, and do what we can to avoid accelerating extinctions, and, work to secure species-diverse life on Planet Earth. Our ignorant hubris is air in the hot balloon of pride, making more imminent the risk of epic popping. What's urgent is CHURCHES UNITED in common pursuit of well-being and Eucharistic sensitivity toward all life. We need to end the silly hubris of feel-good self-sufficiency and submit wholesomely to essential interdependency. Amen.

You are welcome to go ahead and live in such a thing...in the mean time, HEI isn't thinking of a small home windmill, but 5MW worth of industrial wind power on the smallest of the islands. Do you want it next to your house? And once that is in place, how many more to come? How do you spell Trojan Horse? When you scrape the soil with a blade in Hawaii, it never comes back. So the giant footing itself and the access roads to maintain it and the huge windmill, plus all the infrastructure required to get it all on site. Lets see, did they ever clean up the mess of dead windmills on South Point of the Big Island? Are they really going to be able to do that in 20 years or less when they crap out or become obsolete? By the way, my house is energy neutral to negative. I need no AC or heating. Solar heats my water, prepares my food and washes my dishes and clothes. How about you wind lovers? "Wind Energy" is a curse used by shills of NextEra and the HEI Executive Board.

In fairness to the actual (not imaginary) offender, he is just an ignorant child whose behavior is no worse than that of many other children three times his age. Now that the kid has admitted to the offense, he deserves another chance to straighten up and fly right---if not at this school, perhaps by enlisting in one of the services. (As semi-literate liberal theologians cannot seem to quit saying, " Let he who is innocent cast the first stone.") I do not tell lies, deface property or write vulgar hateful stuff, yet would be half tempted to pull a stunt like this to provoke reactions by those who are too impulsive and immature for their posts of authority, such as that three-star general. When people yapping off about "society's" "racism" get exposed for the idiots whom they are behaving like, that gives them reason to govern their emotions and catch up on maturity.

What dentist charges under $50.00 for a check-up ? Not in this age !

A leftist can say just about anything and some cranky conservative will something to complain about.

Pence is an ultra-right wing, arch conservative, fundamentalist Christian. However, he's not, as you say, Donald Trump. I don't feel Pence would be a threat to our country. I too would disagree with many of his positions....but, that's what the political process is for......Trump is a whole different 'ball game'.....IMO, (and I've said it many times) intellectually, emotionally and morally unfit to be President of the United States and is a genuine threat to the well being of our country. Gary Crum

Its an outrage to see Canada's birthplace left in such a state. If this site was in the US, it would be cherished and celebrated. We need to do the same here!

President Trump doesn't worry about poor people needing Medicaid assistance because Trump thinks poor people can always go to emergency rooms. President Trump doesn't worry about poor people in winter, because Trump thinks utilities wouldn't dream of shutting off people who can't afford to pay in the middle of winter. What is Trump thinking? That hospitals and utility companies make those costs disappear? "Health and Human Services Secretary Thomas Price, who contends the LIHEAP program doesn’t demonstrate 'strong performance outcomes' ...” I guess preventing people from freezing doesn't show up on Secretary Price's spreadsheet. Where is Charles Dickens when we need him?

“what is right”. well. that would be what we call a judgement call isnt it? in my judgement I don’t want to live in a society where I can’t aee faces My 2 million years of evolution has taught me how to carefully watch faces for the most important social cues of my life So, I think my right is to live in a society for which I am socially adapted. And I think there are way more of me ,than them ,so in my judgement I kinda think majority should rule. PS religion is nowhere in my discussion. if it was “ biker gang elects to wear “no face revealing” clothing” I’d feel the same way.
