Nonsense.

Nels in summary Alaska isn't getting that deal, Governor Tony Knowles fail to carry through on a law suit to correct the current rip off by the fed's. Please review that case!

Does the Vatican have a position on alcoholism and the tendency of some to have this disease? How does the availability of Communion wine increase this disease? Given to children? Did Jesus drink wine? He was perhaps a Nazorean sworn to not drink wine (Acts 24:5 footnote “Nazoreans,” and Mt 2:23). In Mk 14:25, “I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine,” the word “again” does imply some previous drinking of wine, but not necessarily in that setting which was the Last Supper (also Mt 26:29). Maybe Jesus took some wine before he became a follower of John the Baptist, who did not drink wine (Lk 1:15) At the Last Supper Jesus offers a 'cup.' What was in it? By the way, Jews did not drink blood, so we know it was not actually blood. On the cross, Jesus was offered vinegar/wine which he maybe did not actually swallow -- texts not clear. Was this vinegar from grapes or some other fruit? Yes, wine would be a typical drink at Passover, but John has Jesus die before Passover NRSV

Last night the first 10 minutes was spent hearing emotional stories from mothers with children who perished from Fentanyl. 10 minutes!! This is called victim journalism and, no disrespect intended, is much beloved by the CBC these days because victims are plentiful, full of emotion, and the content is always predictable and no expensive investigation, verification or preparation is required. I had been hoping we'd get something more like the BBC world news or the PBS Nightly Newshour, i.e., a real news program. Instead, CBC has gone the other way, more into infotainment. Add to that the quirky jumpy camera which made me seasick. The assumption here must be that all viewers are getting their news online, so why spend any serious money on the evening news anymore? Maybe this is a good assumption, but I won't be watching this new whatever it is.

Incompetence leaves boat stranded with leaking fuel in Waikiki for almost a month. Meanwhile the reef gets crushed and fuel continues to leak. So much inaction by the State.

"Denver has a million issues more important than this, but they decided to focus on this one. It shows the lack of leadership from the elected officials." Are you really unable to understand what a citizen initiative is? Here's a hint: it's not pushed by official leadership.

Oh good. So when a right-wing nutjob learns that a leader of the right-wing nutjob movement is a pedophile, the response is not to reject pedophilia and that leader, but rather to embrace pedophilia and justify it. Conservative christian family values at work.

"The high regard and respect that other US soldiers held for the 442nd Regiment was related to me by a 442nd Regiment veteran who had jointed up with the unit as a replacement just prior to the end of the war. He told me that wherever they went, they were received very warmly by other US troops." Still incorrect, especially for those of the U.S. Navy (Pearl Harbor), that definitely hated the "Japs" of the 442nd RCT and the 100th Battalion. During UH Reserve Officer's Training Corp, 100th Battalion Patch, U.S. Citizens of Asian Ancestry ("All Orientals Look the Same") going on any U.S. Military Base at Hawaii or Mainland was asking for a Racist Comment (like "Remember Pearl Harbor F___king Japs", Washington State, Fort Lewis, Haole Colonel, Georgia, Fort Benning, Instructor E-8 ). During the Demonrats Save the Democracy of South Vietnam, the comment was you look like a G00k, sorry if we shot at you.

Here we go again. Another lawsuit at Denver taxpayer expense.

You must learn not to be judgemental of those who disagree with you. Just because one disapproves of homosexual activity does not mean that they hate homosexuals. The Catholic Church manifests this in its unceasing attempts to persuade people of the sinfulness of homosexual behaviour for the sake of souls whilst being in the forefront of those who accept repentance and the resolve to sin no more. Make no mistake, the Catholic Church will never, can never accept homosexual acts as anything but gravely sinful.

Yes, at least he isn't living of an inherited family trust. So far, Trudeau has been a failure.

Moore is the same so-called "christian" that said this, "“Homosexual behavior is a ground for divorce, an act of sexual misconduct punishable as a crime in Alabama, a crime against nature, an inherent evil, and an act so heinous that it defies one’s ability to describe it.” He claims it's the same as bestiality. Look up the rest of his nice "christian" comments.

LW1 - I feel your frustration, but know that it doesn’t reflect on you. It reflects on him. If people confront you about it, you can say “I wish he wouldn’t do that”. I know you care about his career, but at this point pushing will only cause him to dig in his heels. LW3 - How can it be “reasoned or logical” to offend your coworkers? These are people you have to see and work with every day. Are you trying to make life hard for yourself? People who are upset about “PC Halloween” in general: you have the legal right to dress up as whatever you want, which means you will not be arrested, fined, or thrown in jail. However you do not have the right to be shielded from social consequences. Other people have the right to feel offended and treat you worse as a result.

i'm looking forward to the vacant and decaying buildings! that will surely reduce rental prices!

You sure about that, chump?

Ancient pick up lines... If thou cleavest unto me thou shalt not be defilest and shall find favor with my God aka my member. Ye shall play on my organ and sing praises. If thou shalt refuseth ye shall be cast out and be called a demon.We shall be fruitful and multiply. If we cannot affordeth to feed our flock we'll call upon Ceaser to cast our demons out. They will find favor with their slave masters.

Allegations are not proof. The media should not be allowed to report on unsubstantiated allegations without proof positive.

Poor 64, you need to learn what communism is. Obama care was first proposed by that anti commie Nixon who then opened up trade with China. It was an attempt to prevent a single pay system from taking over.

Yeah, I make $97 per hour (over the last 40 years) and recently bought a Range Rover!

Good!! TPP is a disaster. All of these third world job exporting trade deals are a race to the bottom in wages and environmental standards. Millions of North American men have been made jobless and useless as the entire manufacturing sector is offshored to third world hell holes.

There you go assuming. So you think that all conservatives agree with those folks? So funny, what a sad little world you live in. And so happy you agree that you and the dems are a bunch of hypocrites.

He was a "true believer" at least until he resigned from Trump's team on January 5th 2017 "because of growing tensions over Trump’s vision for intelligence agencies."

I'm going to use little vials of your tears as stocking stuffers, Stevie. You're not part of this community. No one cares what you think. You have no influence. You're not good at your job. And you think you're going to run your mouth at me? I take pride in the fact that the likes of you don't like me. Lol. Keep it coming.

Oh lets not get ahead of ourselves there are plenty of dimwitted Canadians to vote for him again.

Did you know that the neighborhoods selected this alternative during the environmental study?

Idiot? Is that what was missing?

I don't think anyone is suggesting to not provide sex-ed. It just needs to be respectful of all views on the matter of sexual morality.

do as I say not as I do? . the entire editorial is based on questionable statistics that have been assumed correct with no review. And they have the gall to label those who disagree as stupid.

Does anybody have an idea what means hypocrisy? Or a Social contract? Every immigrant applying for Permanent Residence in Quebec while sending his documents to MIDI Quebec, has to sign a mandatory agreement on Quebec values with Quebec government. Then the CSQ may be be delivered if selected by studies, work experience, language proficiency. Any misrepresentation will invalidate the CSQ. What are this values? Take a look: The Québec state and its institutions are secular. Their decisions and actions are independent of religious powers.Québec has de-confessionalized its school system. Religious confessional instruction is not part of the public school. Fundamental rights and freedoms are exercised while respecting the rights and freedoms of others, public order, the general well-being of citizens and the democratic values of Québec.Ask any of them what they learned first, the duties or the rights in Canada? I think we have also rights and we are not displaying our religion by respect.

Motley: Most shoe stores carry a wide variety of sizes. They have discovered that "One Size Fits All" doesn't work very well. Dealing with students is just like that shoe store. A trip to the vice principal for a paddling isn't exactly helpful to a kid who is almost daily physically abused at home....and, yes, some kids are. A good paddling won't help a kid who is living with the trauma of a recent separation of his/her parents. A "swift swat" won't help address the PTSD of a child who has experienced sexual abuse.....I could go on for pages with more examples. Hopefully these are enough to make the point......helping dysfunctional kids is NOT a simple process and that "paddling" you suggest would be guaranteed to only exacerbate the dysfunction of truly disturbed kids. Gary Crum

Oh come on Gammie, you can do better than that. You are just mad because I pointed out a fact that the Duggers support themselves.

I witnessed a Kindergarten student throwing a desk and freaking out. When the parents got there they smelled of weed and were carrying their gigantic Monster Energy drinks and acted as though it was a joke. Punishment? My son would have got his ass beat in front of his entire class.....just as I would have at his age if I acted that way. Guess what I didn't act that way nor do my children. They have been taught since birth right from wrong, discipline, and MANNERS!

Call it a phenomenon or unintended consequence of government regulation: 1. government creates loan guarantee programs 2. makes it almost impossible to discharge a student loan in bankruptcy 3. promotes the notion that everyone should have access to higher education regardless of any cost/benefit reality With market forces removed, what do you expect?

Obama is only 1/2 black with no slave blood. He's magic!

No, it is better to hire someone who has a clue what is going on instead of a figurehead who doesn't have any idea what he is doing nor the damage he is doing to Canada.

He actually turned into a regular XI fanboy. Praised his autocratic regime, heaped praise on his abilities granted his as supreme dictator, he went all in with Xi.

Wow, he must've been brain dead if he didn't know football was dangerous..lol

Why is declawing inhumane, but spaying or neutering is not?

Should we start a list of "juvenile" names thrown out by the Trump crowd? Other than trying to distract the news from a moron president, they really have nothing but name calling...and of course....loud cries of Hillary! Hillary!

As were many who were ordained before that...and they were more "progressive".... Or are those who disagree with the Left the only ones to be considered "childish and immature"?

You just repeated yourself. And thanks for admitting that you are a bunch of hypocrites. The Dims go about their business by being reprehensible, yet point their fingers that the other side is reprehensible. Just so funny, and sad.

Stop posting this same lame garbage over and over. The players were outplayed and out matched. Just like against ASU, they Dline was worn down and once Moeller went out, the run D went down hill.

I would rather have a 'professional politician' than the pathetic amateur that we have.

You are aware of concomitance, that you receive the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord even under one form? I like receiving under both forms but prefer the EF and know I’m not getting cheated out of the Precious Blood. Maybe you have an Eastern Rite parish you can visit?

Trudeau did expose the ties, when he took bags full of our tax dollars and gave it to the CBC.

...all for the love of money.

You may get taxed twice. I, and I suspect many others, will not pay a single penny of tax...

More of the continued dumbing down of modern journalism. Hamstrung to the nth degree by their addiction to their own vision of a diversity obsessed, multi-cultural PC Canada; incapable of saying that Hanomansing was the best for the job even though he is clearly head and shoulders above the rest as a news anchor. Not enough be an accomplished hetero man of color, thats not diverse enough for the social engineering desperate CBC.

The Establishment is all connected, liberal, conservative, NDP. media corporations, political party corporations, etc. The Conservative Party thigh bone is connected to the Liberal Party hipbone, which is connected to the NDP backbone, and so it goes.... It was ever so. Remember Jack Layton said "Michael Ignatieff is Stephen Harper's best friend". Didn't you believe him?

Obama care or more properly, Nixon care, is hardly perfect but it beats nothing. This country lags the rest of the industrialized world when it comes to health care. We pay about double what other industrialized countries pay which wouldn't be bad if we were all in perfect health and live to be well over a hundred. Sadly we are not. We lag a lot of other countries when it comes to outcomes. We are the only industrialized country I know of that has held health fairs for its less fortunate. Not an efficient way to provide health care.

Yet the topic that was brought up was the Duggars, not quiverfull. Please try to stay on topic. Are you going to try to refute the fact that the Duggars support themselves? Oh that's right, you can't.

The talent drop off between Tom Brady and Brock Osweiler is similar when comparing the gold inside Fort Knox to the gold inside Danny Trevathan's mouth.

Sexual agression is bipartisan. I don't care which party they come from. They don't deserve the public trust. That's a swamp that needs cleaning. BADLY!

If after so many years in public life and many hard fought political campaigns for elected office is appears ludicrous that these reports can come out not especially at a time when the Democratic Party is fighting for its very existence. The entire affair seems a set up.

You questioning other's intelligence is hilarious. Anyone stupid enough to buy the NFL protest lie shouldn't try to match smarts with anyone else. But please, continue to spend yourself into debt to support overpaid children who are stupid enough to bite the hand that feeds them--I make a lot of money on foreclosed houses. Yours could be next.

None of this really matters. People are willing to forgive a progressive leader almost any sin before they will vote for a conservative of any ilk at the moment. Unless Mr. Singh ups his game significantly I cannot envision anything other than a second Trudeau mandate in 2019. Which is very depressing.

“In Friday’s statement, Blake emphasized again that he decided to switch sides after seeing civilians massacred by the “American military machine.”“ Americans are supposed to be sheltered from their governments bloody escapades(look! a Kardashian!).

Proof of paying tax in the country of origin is not that important. My concern is the broader market, not just the high-end. To manage our RE market we should impose far steeper taxes on non-resident buyers. If you are not a Canadian resident and you'd like to hold Canadian RE then you should pay 3 or 4 times the standard rates for property tax. Consider, if I buy a home in the US the annual taxes are much higher. Property taxes are used to cover more services in the US. It is too easy (read -there isn't enough taxation) for non-residents to purchase, hold and realize significant gains from Canadian RE.

"English is spoken by about 400 million people." That number is WAY low. Wiki pegs the number at 1.1B. The number of people who's first-language is English is around that 400M number, but far more of the world also speaks English than that since it's the main language of international commerce and transportation.

$10.17 per gram equates to $ 280 an ounce. right now online i can buy 8 different strains for $165 per oz, delivered in 2 days by canada post. source: potcargo.com does the gov't really expect consumers to pay a $115 premium? risible indeed! this Will not get the drug trade out of the hands of criminal gangs! it will have to be a price that makes some form of sense. also, there is no way producer's costs are $ 8 /gr. try $ 2 gram source ://www.odc.gov.au/sites/default/files/modelling-cost-medicinal-cannabis-dae-1609.pdf a working model of $6 per gram tax in would work: $165 per ounce $2 tax $4 to producer. this is why we can't has nice things...

Since at $1.00/gram, an ounce of pot will cost more in taxes than what you used to pay a drug dealer in the late 70s for 28 grams, drug dealers have nothing to fear from the legalization of marijuana..

At some point the tax has to be moved to THC content. Otherwise there will be incentive to buy more potent varieties to reduce the tax burden. Also, there would be other products (oils, edibles) which the current tax is unsuitable.

Poor Steve. Writing comments in the local paper where one lives is not trolling, it's citizenship. But writing the same few comments over and over again, hundreds of times a day, in fora all over the English-speaking world, but only on one topic -- THAT's trolling! Got a mirror?

So, to be clear, you are in favor of pedophilia. That's where you stand right now. This comes from 4 different women with no connection to each other and no monetary or other interest, some of them trump-voting conservatives, with 30 different people corroborating various details of their stories. Nobody has come forward to say that any detail was not true. Its possible that they are all liars, but its very very unlikely. Its also simply the fact that these radical conservatives who rant hate speech about minorities and women often ARE perverts. The most outspoken homophobes often wind up being the guys that are paying rent boys in bathrooms for blow jobs. This thing with Roy Moore sounds utterly plausible.

The Millennial and teenage fawners are thinning out. And the international backlash is just beginning. First Japan, now Australia, and then one by one countries will slam him in the press. Justin will attempt guest appearances at events with the likes of Bono and Shakira, but the cheers will have turned to jeers, as the crowds chant "Trudeau Go Home"

How many of these guys are a jew? Count it for me please....

Polly learned a new word "infantilized"..

The Trump fought his own "personal" Vietnam war. Quote: “It’s amazing, I can’t even believe it. I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world, it is a dangerous world out there. It’s like Vietnam, sort of. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave solider.” Trump said this in 1997, during an interview with Howard Stern, when asked how he avoided contracting STDs from the women he was sleeping with. Stephen J. Remington

The end result of a failed witchhunt led my millionaire, elitist politicians on minimum wage workers who get a discount chicken sandwich at work and small business owners working 100 hr weeks in favor of turning a blind eye to multi-millionaire tax cheats and dodgers using offshore bank accounts and accounting sleight of hand. How shameful.

Well here go the GOP and RINO Republicans, sentencing before proven guilty! The are just disgusting to me.

A dollar a gram is extortionate. Tobacco sells, in 200 gram cans, for forty cents a gram including all taxes. Taxes, and prices, for marijuana should be roughly comparable.

I'm well aware. Hopefully by pointing to the lack of enforcement of our campaign laws some people might awaken from their stupor and realize they've been relegated to being no more than unwary drones, pawns in a rigged game.

He's not exactly the sharpest cardinal the Church has ever had. He may be the most sensitive.

There's nothing inherently bigoted about the philosophy of secularism. It permits the private belief in and worship of any religion. As my father, who remained a devout Catholic throughout his life but was also a secularist, used to say, the most positive social development in post-WWII Canada was that we got over religion. I can't imagine how it will do us any good to reverse that progress.

The HFD's position that there' nothing that can protect anyone safely, from any major fire. Even sprinkler systems are not 100 % safe. The City should recommend using all available safety measures and products, to save lives. The City Council members and Mayor Caldwell need to learn from mainland cities which have the same old safety issues. San Francisco, Napa Valley, NYC etc.

If the pope dissents from all his predecessors, that would be an example of a papal dissident, no?

It is actually misogyny

One is regulation of conduct, and the other is regulation of thought. It requires that someone adopt as a personal principle a desire to promote diversity, but does that mean you don't license people who don't like diversity or think having to promote it is a bad thing? You can't compel thought. If you want to have hiring quotas, say so. If you want diversity data collected, fine. If you want applications with the names removed to avoid potential discrimination based on names, then okay. But that's all action. It's different than requiring someone think a certain way or force them to declare that they are in favour of something. It's totalitarian, and not okay. If you can't see the difference between those things, I just can't help you.

The wealthy are always going to be better at find tax loopholes than the rest of us. It is worth their while to hire experts. Indeed, the wealthier they are, the more money they can spend on experts and still come out ahead in the end. I think a simpler tax scheme with fewer loopholes would be beneficial to this country. That being said, I don't blame the wealthy for doing everything they legally can to minimize their tax burden. Taxes are always onerous. I certainly do everything I legally can to minimize the taxes I pay - it just isn't worth my while to hire experts.

Before addressing the format of the news it would be helpful if the CBC would address the rather obvious amount of self-censorship, ideological slants and "red lines" that has distorted far too many news pieces of importance to Canadians. Fixing the formatting will do little to address what is a far bigger and more pressing harebrained muddle....

"I live in fear," co-plaintiff Warda Naili said at a news conference in Montreal. "I don't know what will happen when I go out. I don't know how people will react because of this law." So take off the veil. It's just a piece of cloth. I'm sure it's a principle, but not all principles are good or important.

Your post reinforces why no one considers you an individual with even a remote sense of economics. The price of oil drives activity despite ridiculous tax incentives. It makes no economic sense to pump oil when the price didn't cover production. Now Jared Kushner and his buddies in the House of Saud may be trying to jack that price up with their maneuvers, but that will have far more effect upon the impetus to produce than Gov. Walker, your reviled unions or Backbone.

Aloha - Island scAir. R.I.P.

But didn’t the baby-in-chief promise the MAGAphants, during his campaign, that he would get tough with China. Seems all that tough rhetoric was just another ploy to rile up the racists in his (now dwindling) army. Really funny to see him now suck up to China and cede world leadership to them. He just doesn’t realize that China will do what they want and pretend to include the clueless Donald in their plans. Must be a conspiracy by the democrats and Hillary to make him look weak.

Is JT the worst Canadian PM in the last 50 years ? Without a doubt.

Nicki's money will lessen the charges and reduce the penalty. After he gets out the cops will shoot him, and the kneeling will continue. Special justice for special kinds of people.

May I make a correction? Headline should read "Trouble in Middle Class 'Paradise' for Justin Trudeau". Life for the lower 40% has always been limbo at best, h**l, at worst, and the barbarians at the gate for the upper 60%.

Thank you.

Let’s all really enjoy Rthurs unhinged comments here. He’s really losing it. Fun to watch. Typical Rthur post: uh, duh, Hillary, oops, yah, uh, duh, democrats, I know you are, but what am I, you are ,uh, best president ever, um,um, duh, #MAGA, Hillary, democrats. Best new thing is encouraging people to jump off the Pali. Gotta love republican insanity for some morning humor. Go Rth, Go Rth. Really love his writing style for emphasis “diluuuuuuuuusional” - taking his cue from a teenagers textin style. Okay, bring it on, can’t wait to see what you say about this post. I’ll be waiting, but have to work (unlike you) so I probably won’t see it until tomorrow.

So we agree on the palpability! That's how agreement is eventually built.

Huh? No mention of Israel, KSA's closest ally?

If Francis is concerned about the health of Vatican staff....what about the health hazards associated with gay sex (including depression, AIDS, suicide) and cocaine use among Vatican staff?

More to the point, what kind of people are these kids hanging out with, if their supposed friends steal things from their parents home? The letter writer needs to pay more attention to this aspect of his/her children's social life. These visitors don't appear to be "all great kids". They need to be weeded out.

Has your opinion changed today?

Drug companies exploiting the sick and the old like hot dogs and apple pie.

Not only the passengers and the airline people, at approximately 1330 hours yesterday the contractor working on the "new" commuter were told to go home. Your talkin about masonary people, carpenters , electricians , etc.....they are our of job until the state decides on what to do.

Which is, in itself, an insult.

I very much appreciated your article. What an appropriate time to write about people serving in our military and our country. Sounds like Omega Hogan turn into a great American and proud Warrior. Thanks for writing the article Dave.

Newsflash: Yes, there are in fact laws governing pedestrian behavior. Car drivers have to obey rules, too, but they are only effective in promoting safety if others also obey the rules. There are only so many things a driver can focus their attention on at once. I both drive and walk, and we need to accept that if someone wanders out into traffic, they're responsible for themselves. There are rules for a reason.

Excuse me. Is it feminist to support the right of women to cover their faces in public?
