if these women are allowed to wear their face coverings, why do i have to take off my glasses for licences and passport pictures.

Self absorbed cry babies never grow up...or leave mommy's basement.

Jesse “Toxic waste”? . Abandon the inflammatory nonsense, properly educate yourself on this issue, and adhere to supportable facts and evidence....and you might one day gain some semblance of credibility. . Steven D. Slott, DDS Communications Officer American Fluoridation Society

Well, in this particular case, the reporters spent months tracking down the victims, then a large amount of time convincing them to go public. Sorry but the passage of time doesn't change the facts. He (and he admitted it) sexually abused this 14 year old girl. She's legally too young for consent. It was wrong.

Or unbox another woman from eastern Europe.

I am a "war baby" born in 1942, so I have no memory of the Second World War. But, I have had the opportunity to meet those for whom Second World War memories were exceptionally strong. In the 1970s, I worked with a gentleman who took a holiday in France every June. I asked him why and he said he had been an officer who landed at Juno beach on D-Day and that he had to go to Bény-sur-mer (the Canadian D-Day war grave location) "to be with his boys". To me, he typified what "we remember" means. Ten years ago, my wife and I were bicycling through a national park in Flanders, Belgium when an "old man" motioned for us to stop to ask us our nationality. When we said Canadian, he started to hum "Oh Canada" and informed us he was alive then because his family had been liberated by Canadian troops. He also typifies what "we remember" means. Remembrance Day does not glorify war; it commemorates the sacrifice to our country of the fallen and the wounded.

I have not been "calling you names". I state that you support homophobia. I state that you are a liar. I also state that you believe that conservative bishops can do no wrong. Why do I say these things? Because you demonstrate, over and over, the accuracy of my statements. The only one of us "spinning" is you, Pandora. You don't like me speaking the facts, so you lie about them. If you want me to stop saying you are a liar, then all you need do is stop lying. It truly is as simple as that. But as long as you continue to lie, I will continue to call you on it.

Yup, it's all a big scam and everyone's in on it: the tire companies, auto journalists, testing organisations, such as Consumer Reports, and let's not forget the governments, of course. Thanks for letting the rest of us know.

Signing the petition is a no brainer for those of us who are tired of episcopal pomp & all the circumstances that go with it. Of course Christ would never have behaved as this bishop has behaved. As a returned, lapsed Catholic, still hurting from the backlash of conservatives and an eventually, shamed bishop in another diocese, I found the words to "All Are Welcome" very reassuring and the music soothing. Hearing Marty Haugen's hymn, "Shepherd Me O Lord" at a new friend's funeral touched me deeply. The only real complaint I have about the average repertoire of Catholic musical selections is that they are pitched too high even for practiced vocalists.

It would be irrelevant. And your sexualizing of this is offensive. And what if it is only an 'attention getter' -- in our western tradition of human rights, we have free speech. To borrow a critique used elsewhere, are you and your colleagues such 'snowflakes' that you can't handle speech you disagree with?

I would give anything to get a look at the Fishline's books. They are making BANK for a Foodbank. Poulsbo, there are other ways of helping people. Like JOBS, like LOWERING the ridiculous rents.Remember years ago if you were down and needed some bread you could just go get it. Now, paperwork, ID's,lines to wait in and Super strict "pricing" policy with the "FishBucks". I worked at a local Market, I KNOW what comes to the Fishline and I know the Hoops Fishline makes you jump through to get the food. Also, while Poulsbo doesn't want to be known for Pot, they can be Home to Breweries and all Viking Ave can be Fishline! The World's Biggest Free-Not-Free food bank! People will come from Miles...for the moldy old bread. So keep raising that money Folks and handing it on over...

<<That's because no such evidence exists.>> You might be the last person I'd consult on the issue. "Cross-Cultural Evidence for the Genetics of Homosexuality" https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/cross-cultural-evidence-for-the-genetics-of-homosexuality/

Streetcars are more efficient than buses in moving large numbers of people, and are more green to boot. If you don't like to stop while streetcars are loading and unloading, move the tracks to curbside, and eliminate the parking. Most of the pedestrians crossing and blocking intersections is because they have a green light to cross at the same time cars have a green light to turn. There should be separate pedestrian / car movement periods at intersections.

So that means that CNN, MSNBC, Wash Post and the Denver Post are also considered trolls since they regularly deflect and diffuse bad news away from their chosen subjects.

JH, lying is different than not agreeing with your dissenting views.

I think you are trying to be funny (which this situation isn't funny) And an underage woman is called a child.

The GOP are doing all they can to hurt the average worker, I live in a red state with no income tax but the third highest property taxes in the country, 9k on a 370k house, the GOP want to eliminate the property tax deduction. They will add several trillion to the debt and will cut SS and medicare to cover the tax breaks for their donors.

Why are you equating "muslims" in general with islamist extremists in the case of the niqab, when I'm sure you insist on making the distinction in the case of terrorists? In both cases, these are not representative of "Muslims" in general, just of extremist, islamist interpretations. Many Islamic countries ban it in different circumstances. It is banned during the Hajj. Please stop defending extremists by equating them with "Muslims" in general. It is only worn by an extremist fringe that gives ordinary Muslims a bad name.

Is an acorn an oak tree?

Of course, there have been many sports people in the past who have excelled at different sports, some even becoming double Springboks (back in the day when all our sporting codes went with the Bok badge). Peter Kirsten, I know, was damn good at rugby (and hockey as well, if my memory serves, though he didn't play beyond provincial level with either, I think), as were many of his peers and forerunners in the cricket team. More recently, Herschelle Gibbs also played rugby at provincial level, IIRC, turning out at flyhalf for Western Province, before having to kick his rugby career into touch (yes, I also went there!) in order to focus on the Proteas!!

continued belonging to the ANC after years and years of 'shocks' paints you with the same brush. When will people like you realise that the ONLY vindication is to break away from the ANC as it has become and form a political party that is NOT the ANC as it is today. Aside of that you are one and the same no matter the squealing.

Boo hoo, cry me a river.

At the risk of feeding a troll. Let's pretend that what you say is true. By doing so, you're basically saying one of two things: 1) It is OK for Moore to foo around with underage girls, since Clinton did it, or 2) It is NOT for Clinton to do fool around with underage girls, but it IS ok for Moore to do it. I'll let you decide which one you want it to be.

Agree that we not name killers, even stop reporting tweets from their president Andy

You're a touch sensitive, Communica. You wrote: "... Gary and the Mayor want to continually perpetuate the myth of the backwoods Alberta (well certainly in comparison to anything in BC)..." The article stated: "... statistics show that acts of hatred and Islamophobia are on the rise across the country – and Calgary is no exception" and "... it's an issue here, but you also see it in Vancouver ..."

"We need to recapture, before we get to the issues, the common bond," says the bishop, ten seconds after calling half his flock "infantilized in their spirituality" and "people who like to tell other people what to do." Or maybe he meant his clergy. A bishop calling his clergy "infantilized" would be really conducive to common bonding.

Look, these are pretty strong allegations. People are locked up BEFORE trial when enough evidence exists. So ya you're innocent until proven guilty but not completely...this guy admitted it. That would be enough evidence to arrest him and force him to post bail. I think voters need someone who isn't tangled in a possible underage sexual assault.

They should. Both Clintons are despicable people.

Fascinating and beautiful, Jennifer. Thank you. I've always loved history anyway, and reading your report brought up a yearning to experience these places myself, and learn more about our foremothers in faith, and what they mean for where the Church should be, and could be, now.

Hannity...a liar covering for a pervert

and we are betrayed by people like you and the others that KNOW BETTER yet....

I hear that, it is so hard listening to these guys and you have to ask yourself do they ever look in the mirror and get over their blind thinking partisanship. Just sad and they don't have the critical thinking faculties to see it. Howlin' at the moon....

It is about time the world sit up an notice a new work paradigm that is accompanying technological shifts in the workspace towards self-responsibility and accountability

Many supporters of m-103 answer criticism by pointing to the idea that motions are non binding. Perhaps that notion facilitates overlooking the authoritarian language in 103. "The government should recognize the need [an imperative] to quell [forcibly suppress] ... hate and fear [thoughts and emotions]." If that is what you want the government to do at least be honest about it.

Whether a belief is an official "requirement" of a religion in foreign countries or here isn't required in Canada. In our law - and this is not new: "[T]he freedom to undertake practices and harbour beliefs, having a nexus with religion, in which an individual demonstrates he or she sincerely believes or is sincerely undertaking in order to connect with the divine or as a function of his or her spiritual faith, ** irrespective of whether a particular practice or belief is required by official religious dogma or is in conformity with the position of religious officials. **" ~ Syndicat Northcrest v. Amselem [2004, SCC]

If the Pope is against nuclear weapons, the Vatican shouldn't have to build any.

There are currently weapons under development that will dwarf the capacity of the most powerful nuclear weapons. What will disarmament mean if someone actually deploys such a weapon capable of destroying the entire planet?

Wouldn't it be useful to this discussion if the censor or sensors on this site explained themselves to the author of a post when they removed a post? For example the post below had been deemed acceptable under 3 previous articles that had been written on this subject yet removed or censored under this opinion piece. The fact that it was censored re enforces my argument wouldn't you say?

Lesbians exist, too, you know. Anyway, flagged.

terminal defense is hard. boost phase defense is easier. that is why primary defense occurs near NK on naval platforms or from launch sites in SK.

What did you expect the major shareholders are unionists and aboriginals......love to see the salaries in that organization......do not ever invest in this company if you want a real return.

If they stink it up the network won't have the option of going to another game. They're stuck with it and so are we LOL

The upset wife should feel no reservations about unfriending her husband with his obnoxious trolling. There seems to be this unsettling notion that you can let it all out on FB, and that your so called 'friends' will be forced to accept/enjoy your glaring imprudence -- not so. Husband, brother or mother -- unshackle yourself from shameless indulgence. And yes, there is no question that your husband's stupidity will cost him business. Who could fail to realize this?

“Bribery”.....”trolls”.... . Liz, one day maybe you’ll realize that the only ones who believe such unsubstantiated nonsense are uninformed antifluoridationists. If you want to engage in intelligent discourse with your elected officials, you will need to begin acting as if you have intelligence. . As long as you continue to troll the comment sections with your ridiculous claims, you will be challenged by facts and evidence. Either get used to that or cease posting unsupportable junk and misinformation. . Steven D. Slott, DDS Communications Officer American Fluoridation Society

The pope is good at pointing attention away from his own mess of immorality....gay orgies in the Vatican with cocaine usage (fact), and worse, these same sort of priests are allowed to remain in the active priesthood while they are predatory abusers of boys, and some girls. These "possessions" are actually causing more daily harm than nuclear weapons.

"Luxury items"? Almost all food was rationed during WW II. I well remember going shopping with my mother as a 3 year old and her having to produce her ration coupon to buy butter.

The media still defends Bill Clinton against sexual assault and rape allegations and they did so for years while he was in office. It was only the stain on the blue dress that forced them to admit it.

Just because you're being completely disingenuous doesn't mean Costco wasn't an easily recognizable example of a business that uses buildings over 25,000 sf. It just means you're being disingenuous. Here, I'll give you one more chance to stop being so disingenuous by repeating my original post when asked how much this is supposed to cost, to which I replied: "$25-$35/sf by one estimate in a recent DP story. For a new Costco, for instance, that adds around $4 million." Perhaps you don't understand what the term "for instance" means in such a context. It means "an example of a business with buildings over 25,000 sf for which we can estimate the additional cost". It doesn't mean "the profit margin and success rate for every other business in Denver". It was a clear and obvious example of the COST of this new law, nothing more. Got it yet?

Funny a comment like that comes from a guy that considers Trump a demi-god and wonders why others can't see it.

I assume then you are actively lobbying for better transit and voting for the politicians that support it. Dollars should be moved away from highways to transit.

Thank you for your service, Rabbi.

Psychologists who study sociopaths and psychopaths will tell you a prime motivator is fame and publicity for these people. It's suicide by cop in a way that makes them infamous. The rise of the mass shooting follows closely with the rise of the 24 hour news cycle. Cut all mention of the perp and you will cut the frequency of these horrors. And on a related but different subject, the Texas perp was ineligible to own guns, according to US law. What would gun control have done to stop him? There already was gun control in place targeting him, and of course, he didn't pay attention to it. And in the wake of the rental VAN attack last month in NYC, there were more calls for, you guessed it, gun control. The willful ignoring of common sense and evidence by the anti gun lobby is staggering at times.

I would like to see statistics about where these deaths occur (crosswalks, middle of roads, sidewalks, etc...). My experience in Toronto as a driver, pedestrian and runner is that "intersection etiquette" for lack of a better phrase is now dangerously missing. Some drivers view pedestrians rightfully crossing intersections as an annoyance slowing them down (Yonge and Davisville is one to watch to see annoyed driving). How many of us have seen the cars nudging through crowded pedestrian crossings. Yes, pedestrians need to be always mindful of what is happening around them, but the greater responsibility must lie with the driver of the two tonne vehicle to respect that pedestrians, regardless of whether the crosswalk light is white or flashing red, whether the driver is in a rush, has the absolute right of way at the intersection until the traffic light turns red. Biking on Toronto streets has become a dangerous sport. Let us not allow walking to become the same.

How many other profiles have you hijacked? I will keep after you until you stop taking other people profiles ( and mine ) or file a formal complaint with the Denver Post.

Indeed. Resources better spent if they were diverted to actual law enforcement to nail the junkies stealing cars and anything else they can grab from homes during this crime wave.

Courts all across Europe have ruled otherwise because they have different legal traditions that govern their judgements, pioneer, not because of it being morally correct or incorrect. And a ban is not the way to 'just stamp it out' if that's what you want. You're just encouraging people to take this as a symbol of their identity. Look at how effective the bans on kilts, tartans and bagpipes were....

Oh, you mean like the many rape/harassment charges against Bill Clinton? Yep, Clinton is guilty. And he continues to be idolized by the Democrat Party.

Jesus wasn't one of the most "popular" people of his day! But "popularity" is important for the secular-minded. Cupich continues to show weak tendencies.

Carrie Fisher really died, and that hasn't stopped those retreads in HWood from bringing her "back".

Moore is not Republican establishment? Hardee-har-har!

Maybe he had smoked too much pot and could not attend. oh well it means he can get another trip later and we the tax payers will pick up the cost.

Pot, meet kettle.

No. It is both. And poor infrastructure and inappropriately high speed limits and insufficient enforcement and not enough education. Yes too many drivers are a problem, but so are too many pedestrians. It takes two to collide. It is not an either/or. Norm Collins

Were the prime ministers supposed to show up to confirm that the trade ministers had an acceptable deal in place? If so, then if Canada was not satisdied with the deal, there is no reason for Trudeau to show up.

Gentle reader, please note: Rogue Catholic is a troll, possibly a paid troll, possibly a paid Koch troll, possibly a paid Koch troll wannabe, who showed up here during the Trump administration, while Steven Shea is a longstanding (and, if I may, beloved) member of the NCR commentariat. Who's this "we," Rogue Catholic? You may be a rogue, but as your avatar suggests, you may be Catholic only incognito. If not a revolving account.

More GOPe BS. Another fake smear.

You've, obviously, never owned a business.

But if a fetus is not a human being, then abortion is not murder. You take your opinions, and try to say that they are facts.

Did you even read the article you linked to? The closest it comes to your thesis is: "This work suggests that common genetic factors may underlie the expression of both." It says one sociological survey "suggests" genetic factors "may" underlie homosexuality. It's social-science-speak for "Oops, we spent a lot of money and didn't find anything our sponsors could use in their political campaign."

High School gladiator sports are the bedrock of pro football. I am not going to apologize for including this link, I am going to use it as a way to challenge the people who run Churchill, and Thurston to think about what they are doing.

Unfortunate as it is a fascinating culture but India gets unrelentingly bad reviews particularly from people who have attempted to drive there. Health and safety are the issues not the people, place or culture. Cheers, John Meyer

maybe it was take your kid to work day and the kids wrote the editorial?

Do you live here? No? Then what the hell do you care what Denver does? Mind your own corner of the world and let us mind ours. Thanks!

Yes, money (or the lack of it) speaks loudly. A tightly folded $1 bill in the collection basket should do nicely in Madison for now... or an empty envelope.

How liberal is it to allow men to force women to cover their heads? Ah, the old liberal petard again.

Mike . Because you are woefully uninformed about the facts of fluoridation does not mean that the public health doctors you reference, are as well. You need to consider the fact that that they know what they are talking about, whereas you obviously have no clue. . Steven D. Slott, DDS Communications Officer American Fluoridation Society

Yep local candidates have unlimited funds and resources to spoon feed lazy and apathetic voters. Seriously, I agree candidates need to make a good faith effort to contact all potential voters, but it is the voter's responsibility to do due diligence.

When one feels a compulsion to obliterate any allusion to a thing one is supporting, it's time to reconsider one's support of the thing.

In my opinion, you are incorrect - so reflective of many Canadians who have little knowledge of our history - the war did have a significant impact on Canadian society. There was also rationing of foodstuffs and clothing and gasoline in addition to luxury goods - in fact, the production of civilian motor cars ceased entirely. In addition, over 10 per cent of the Canadian population served in the armed forces, an even higher percentage portion of the male population.Hundreds of thousands of women entered the work force in non-traditional occupations, including 50,000 in the armed forces. All working age Canadians had to register under the National Resources Mobilization Act and societal controls were under the War Measures Act resulting in the internment of thousands of Canadians. German submarine attacks in the Gulf of the St. Lawrence resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Canadians....do some reading prior to submitting further comments....Jack Canuck PhD Canadian History..

This is rank anti-Semitic junk.

A rationalization about child molestation using a fairy tale about virgin birth is absolutely insane.

Indeed. Why would someone do that? Why would he have done that 2 times prior for the Alabama Supreme Court? Why didn't these women come forward then? Notice that all the GOPe scum are coming out against him as if this were planned? Can't have someone who will clean up the Senate getting in there.

Nonsense, Madison is a beautiful town with a world-class university and terrific summer recreational facilities.

Nowhere in the Holy Koran is face-covering mandated. Westerners (almost always liberals) who claim or allow claims of religious interference simply display their ignorance.

Transit is overpriced and unreliable. I would never take public transit. As for people with their cell phones and walking, unfortunately you cannot legislate stupidity!

LOL. It's the nature of scientific research to be tentative and provisional.

So, the leaders of various countries were scheduled to meet, but Justin did not show up? I can't believe that Justin would forgo any opportunity to have his photo taken!

strictly speaking, your profile has not been hijacked

Couple things: A tale of 2 games, Wild gave up 2 flukes to Your Leafs and lost that game despite clearly being the better of the 2 teams, next game get the benefit of 2 disallowed goals and get the win. The breaks even out..... Then, the game is in Mtl, largely french-speaking. Now, I understand that most of the refs are anglophones, but if they're Canadian, they had french classes in school, they know basic french, certainly familiar with hockey french, so to speak. Would not expect said anglophone refs to talk in french for a disallowed goal, but for sure there's gotta be a ref somewhere who could announce a penalty in french. You know, penalite Canadiens, numero quatorze, deux minutes pour trebucher. I mean, how hard is that to do?

make them sell there house, they burned thru so much money these last three years and now the public has to save them. doesnt sound right

I have decided to file a formal complaint with the Denver Post. There is a person who has decided to illegally use my avatar and profile. These are his posts on this thread: "I completely agree with State Auditor Jim Ziegler, he speaks the Truth." "Every day I wake up thanking Jesus for Trump"

Rik . “We can only assume these ‘public health doctors’ are not influenced by gifts from the fluoride industry” . More corruption/conspiracy nonsense. One day maybe you guys will wake up from your blissful oblivion and realize that you are your own worst enemies. . Steven D. Slott, DDS Communications Officer American Fluoridation Society

Justin failed to show? Yeah this working for your country stuff is boring.

Odd they wouldn't come out when he ran for the Supreme Court, which is a much greater danger to people's freedoms than being a Senator.

Are you kidding!. For the 70% who do not itemize, thus, not affected by these deductions, it means paying 4k less in taxes on average per year. The standard deduction doubles meaning the first 24k is not even taxed then the next bracket is 12% a drop from the current 15%. Need to do your homework instead of drumming to the likes of CNN and the other alpha soup news channels.
