Johns Hopkins and Fairfield Universities The mainstream GOP/RINOS apparently can't win at the ballot box; thus, they're seemingly grasping at any straws to deny Roy Moore the U.S. Senate seat opportunity that he won fair and square...For some inexplicable reason(s) the old guard Republicans [the GOP] apparently can't climb over/past the fact that Steve Bannon and his ilk, e.g., are the new strident integral voices and geopolitical policymakers of the GOP and this Administration. Fred Harden III AKA "GreyHairandGreyMatter"

The Spirit doesn’t contradict what it said previously...unless you have a different spirit talking.

"All of these deals are negotiated by professionals in every country before the politicians show up. " So why DIDN"T JT turn up when expected? Whose professionals got that wrong?

As per the first paragraph the double cask in this instance combines spirits matured in two types of oak American and European. So in this case they are blending spirits that have individually spent time in either American or European oak. So not every drop has seen both woods. But in other cases it could be the same process you described.

Growing up in the streets is never easy. Daily fighting for turf control causes a lot of physical injuries to one's face and head. Heavy price to pay for survival on the streets.

"....Paul Ryan is a morally bankrupt Ayn Rand adherent..." I am so very glad that there are others out there that recognize this about Paul Ryan. Good statement, Mountain Peaks.

meh. he asked. they said yes. sounds like he is just bowing to sjw pressure . it can't be a surprise to the women in the story ... they were familiar with his comedy which is pretty out there (to be kind)

All these creeps need to go.

Not at all. I think Dave's quite a good writer. Don't be so negative.

The TPP will be a total disaster for Canada. It will destroy whatever manufacturing is left in this nation and let in millions of TFWs to take whatever jobs are left. But perhaps that's the whole point of the TPP -- turn Canada into high employment, low wage, low standard of living developing country to please Trudeau's trust fund cronies.

So , as usual we get tied into an international trade treaty of which we know nothing; presumably big business was in attendance but no representative of ordinary people? As usual low labor cost countries included; malaysia and vietnam, I suspect the environmental and labor laws are not very strong but good decoration. Lets see.

And how many of your 'examples' are then found to be the ones in the criminal justice system at age 18 getting ready to go into the prison system because there were minimal or no consequences to their wild animal behavior prior to age 18? The society at large does not have to and will not ignore or facilitate the same kind of behavior by an 18 year old that the school systems do today. The real world is not a utopia. These hoodlums will be dealt with and prevented from continuing the same behavior after reaching age 18. 'Dysfunction' then results in incarceration.

Mr Harper was not connected to the world's rich and famous, he just went to hockey games and wrote a book about the game. Too provincial, we wanted a man with global presence, and we wanted to be charmed and to hear those sweet nothings that make us feel so good about ourselves, so we elected Prince Charming. And Mr Trudeau knows we'll always take him back, and the polls confirm it.

Your post sounds like sour grapes to me. It is our younger generation who see the merit in negotiating labour and environmental protections into our trade agreements.

There's a backlash coming, I sense it. Even citizenry who pay little attention to politics are commenting on what a farce this government is. And what a clown the drama queen they elected as PM is turning out to be. Junior has now lost the mass media - except the CBC of course - and once you do that, there's little chance of them returning to again write sympathetic editorial. It's just a shame that an election is 2 years away...ah well, at least a conservative government will be installed in Ontario in June.

Yes, my brother has some tiny little apple trees that manage to spit out a few baking apples each season. But please, if you can show me where the nearest useful fruit tree orchard is, please do. This woman's desire to have fruit trees treat all the ills of Alaska is ridiculous. She posts it on practically every article. Moose netting? Seriously?

What happens when Hezzbollah bombs the ammonia plant outside Haifa?

She has to do something ?! Right now she is a mere video PR front for the generals who actually run the place. She can say all the politically correct sound bites while it's business a usual. By the way - given the population density the value of life has no meaning in such Third World regions.

Well before this latest touchy-feely fiasco, I've longed for the days of the plain old newscast, when one very efficient and unglamorous anchor (George McLean?) would just get to the point. Somewhere along the way, the networks became convinced by the slick marketeers and their infernal focus groups that we adults couldn't bear a half-hour of hard news, unemotional and unvarnished, and that newsfolk had to be "personalities." Alas, that's the culture now. I've been getting my news for years, in the main, from radio -- BBC, CBC, NPR -- to avoid the wasteland of television.

Justin Bieber has a real job.l and is far more good looking. He would be a good Canadian prime minister.

'This is Canada , we won't settle for just any deal ". Implying that other countries would. I am fed up with this smug , arrogant attitude on the world stage. We are fast beccoming the annoying kid who won't shut up.

The devil is in the details..stay tuned!

I guess you didn't notice that Trump supported Luther Strange. Typical knowledge level for the Democrat Party.

Eliminating the medical expense tax deduction is a horror of the first order. It's tough enough dealing with medical expenses without being whipped with chains into submission by the elimination of the medical expense tax deduction. These cruel Republicans just get even more cruel by the minute.

Agree 100%, what a mess. I liked the previous format a lot better, rotating hosts was refreshing, but this.... totally unwatchable.

.....why are we asking celebrities about their opinions? Why do we have media outlets focused on persuading the public using a celebrity comment? What does that say about journalists, and the media ? Should my friends and I start discussing the opinions of others and avoid discussing our own opinions? I think this behavior says a lot about what the media and the journalists think about us. Let's start asking disgraced ex-politicians what they think.......my but that leaves the average American pretty far down on the list of relevant opinions, doesn't it? Now you know what most media outlets think about you.

Alabama does not make decisions based on principles, the law, ethics, right or wrong....they are outcome driven regardless of the means by which they use to get there. They will bend the law, they will close their eyes to molestation, ignore unethical practices AS LONG AS they can achieve a certain outcome i.e: they will elect a pedophile with no respect for the law as long as their outcome is achieved. The outcome? They want someone in power who will make sure blacks will never be in charge of their state, they want someone in charge to make sure gays will never be treated like human beings in their state. It goes back to their lynching days where they would Lynch a black man without evidence just to appease the ignorant redneck populace. And the educated Alabamians are even worse than the mentally deficient, they perpetuate this generation after generation.

This is quite funny actually. Hoisted by their own petard!

40 WHOLE days? Wow - he's really gonna learn a lesson from this round of punishment. If he's not man enough to walk away (and he stated that that thought never crossed his mind) then he's not man enough to hold the position. Sadly, Denver residents will pay for this incident, too - and it should be the LEO.

Yeah, no means no dude.

Brilliant column. It should be posted on everyone's refrigerator for the next federal election.

Yours is the superstitious.

Here! Here! Mr. Doyle! I can't agree more. There is a flow and an implied hierarchy of stories in the single-anchor format that is lost in the cacophony of four voices.

"The fact that you disagree with I believe to be his correct assessment of abortion does not mean he should be silenced." FC hijacks the topic. You hijack the meaning of a comment. Wearying....

Not everybody's hurting, the huge public sector is now Canada's aristocracy. And they are intertwined with the Liberals.

No...spend, spend, SPEND!!!! Our part-time, ethically ignorant mayor NEEDS HIS LEGACY cemented!!!!!!

Well,I knew when I heard that "Frankie the Fraudulent" was wetting his Papal panties over a bunch of bogus "global warming" computer models that he had finally snapped one mackerel too many...par for the course for a renegade Jesuit who broke his vow never to seek the Papacy

LOL. No you have not heard everything. There is still much more for you to learn and hear, as there is for all of us. I was talking about the one subject. Me, I have only seen and learned only about a quarter of what I need to hear and learn. There is an old Johnny Cash song I like that I like, that has a chorus of: "When I've learned enough to really live I'll be old enough to die old enough to die" I am not there yet. Are you?

Because it's our only real port to access the Arctic.

I don't know what country you live in but in my Canada our elected officials do represent the people. Trudeau has gone to great lengths to include labour representatives so the fact that you do not know this makes me question the value of your input.

Not only have Trump voters shown their lack of intelligence, but by voting for Trump, they're openly supporting his support of open racism, sexism, tax breaks for the filthy rich, and Donald Trump's own admission of sexual assault of many women. Trump honestly has a large following of very twisted people, and it's disgusting that this has happened in our great country? How can this happen in America? What is wrong with these people???

Lol, he wanted to impress a first date?

as I read it. Their assests were frozen. idk it may be the inept STATE of Hawaii or the entity that sought to freeze their assets, maybe Chin should be investigating the collusion between the State of Hawaii and/or the entity that froze the Kealoha's assets and the Kealoha's. The pair must be in a better position, if guilty I assume they lose their assets and if they are exonerated they have no bills from the State of Hawaii supplied Lawyers?

Steve -- take a breath! Today your posts are nothing but ad hominems. Now that you've grasped the fact that fluoridation has been defeated in Port Angeles yet again, I imagine you're feeling pretty upset with us local voters. Still, that's no reason to short-change your trollmasters by posting a flock of silly playground insults. Come on, Steve, pull yourself together. You haven't once played fake-scientist today, nor directed anyone to "ilovemyteeth.com." Here's a challenge: Try NOT using the words "conspiracy," "corruption," "nonsense," and especially "antifluoridationist," just for one day.

So Canada is part of a wide consensus of ten of eleven countries present. Who is the hold-out and why does the Globe not name that country in the same way it tried to frame Trudeau as the bad guy earlier?

"Canada had "screwed" its TPP allies...." No, just the vast majority of Canadians. Neoliberals will sell their Canadian subjects out in a heartbeat to please their Mandarin masters whose "basic dictatorship" that they admit to have "admiration" for.

I take it then that you are a libertarian? You have worked your way to great success never having benefited from any public service? You'd be happy to hand deliver your own mail, hire your own private security, set up your own monetary system, hire a private doctor, build your own infrastructure, deregulate the financial system? The reason we have government is to organize on a large scale projects that don't make sense on a small scale. There are roughly 40 adults on my block alone that each drive downtown by themselves in their cars. All leaving at roughly the same time. I'm merely pointing out that for $400,000 a year we could certainly have a more efficient way to get these people downtown. My hypothesis is that we could reduce infrastructure requirements, pollution, congestion, etc. Therefore net spending would decrease. Not all progressive policies are inherently bad. I support those that make long term sense. Maybe you need to check your own thought process.

Do not blame Nixon for this Obama care, because it never happened, blame Obama for this, and also anytime you have a government controlled healthcare its communism, so you better learn what communism is, this is just a start of the government forcing there healthcare on you or get fined, and this Obamacare is just a start of what communism is.

You point out 6 billion ounces of gold produced. When you put it that way, it sounds plentiful. When I say that there is only enough in the world to fill 3 olympic sized swimming pools it sounds quite scarce.

My biggest question in this delicate debate is : what do feminists think of the niqab? Why are some, who we assume are feminists, defending the right to wear the niqab, a symbol of submission? What do the women, who fought and continue to fight for equality in all aspects of life in Canada, think of this face covering from the Middle Ages? For me, the niqab is the negation of one’s identity. It is like telling people ‘I don’t deserve to show my face. I don’t deserve to exist.’ Practice all the religion you want. But I think Quebec is right to take action. There has been a lot of Quebec bashing on this file, but many other countries are taking action. Heck, even some Muslim countries are banning the niqab.

If you're referring to Joe the lifetime free buffet mooch, I don't think that's his father. Close enough though...Maui Sukkis are all related and come to Oahu to fleece HNL taxpayers...

Jesus wasn't popular. My---you've give us a new re-writing of the Gospels. The real gospels read: "Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and curing every disease and every sickness among the people. So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought to him all the sick, those who were afflicted with various diseases and pains, demoniacs, epileptics, and paralytics, and he cured them. And great crowds followed him from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan." [Mt. 4:23-26; Mk. 1:35-39; Lk. 4:44; 6:17-19]. Enumerate where Cupich 'continues to show weak tendencies.'

Yes, their bias and self-censorship is obvious. It seems the CBC news brass are all liberals or they are afraid of losing their government funding, or maybe both. Either way, it needs to change.

Barack Obama's skin color is an immutable characteristic. Trump's orange tint is a hilarious fashion decision born of vanity and comes out of a spray tan can. Obama was born black. Trump CHOOSES to look like a Cheeto. Not the same so they can't be compared. Making fun of Obama's skin color is racist. He can't (nor would he want to) change it. It's natural. Trump's spray tan is phony and obviously so. Leave it to a Trump stan to to claim victimhood status for the vain elitist billionaire spray tan demographic, though. LOL. Trump looks ridiculous, especially with his reverse raccoon eyes where the spray tan doesn't reach. Making fun of Trump's awful spray tan is no more out of bounds than making fun his foreign-manufactured Trump ties that reach to his knees or making fun of Hillary's pant suits. Terrible fashion choices are always mock-worthy.

Cruise ships and tropical resorts are bursting at the seams, things look pretty good to me.

Do you ever get the feeling that nobody is listening to you?

The challenge that Island Air had to expand its operations and become a true second carrier in Hawaii was formidable. Not only was it going up against a entrenched carrier of which they received preferential treatment in gate space at HNL, but also, internally, the airline's business DNA had some very serious flaws. Combine that with the prior reputation of the airline in being unreliable and always delaying/cancelling (even though they really did improve ops in the last part) and you see all the hills a weak airline needed to climb in order to be seen by creditors as a viable, vibrant airline worthy of investment.

I guess you'd rather have Harper back and any old deal would do as long as he got a deal - it didn't have to be good for Canada.

It's too early to tell if this means something positive for Alaska. It does read better than a headline that reads " Absolutely No One Wants Alaska's Natural Gas".

Wow, Margaret, the truth hurts (sometimes more than others)!

I'm a Democrat and the guy must go.! DRAIN THE SWAMP...

Allisa I continue to pay attention because I thoroughly enjoy exposing antifluoridationists for the dishonest fools that they are. Please do continue with your false claims and personal attacks. You only reinforce exactly what I have been saying. In terms of seeking credibility, you, like all antifluoridationists, are your own worst enemy. Steven D. Slott, DDS Communications Officer American Fluoridation Society

I can't believe people would shame those who let down their hair once a year with a goofy costume. I think it's good therapy and I bet some form of occasional play-acting exists in most cultures. It's good to laugh!!! I myself don't dress up but I applaud those who are spontaneous enough to do so.

What a bunch of crybabies whining about Amy's reasonable response. I didn't comment on the original post that asked the question, but the thought in my head for the guy wearing the Indian shirt would have been: "So, what's your costume? Are you a person from India?"

Ah, here we go... I was waiting for you to attack the results of this vote on the basis of turnout. Remember, Steve -- our "civic leaders" were elected by that same small percentage of registered voters. Are you saying they have not won their offices? I think things might work differently in WA State than in North Carolina -- here, we call it democracy.

Political correction nonsense gone far too far!

1. If it's a matter of who the law society goes after, then disproportionate focus on the non-anglo group could indicate either discriminatory treatment by the law society or else that one group is more prone to receiving complaints (justly or unjustly). 2. If non-anglo named lawyers are getting more complaints from clients then it could be (a) that they're worse lawyers and conducting themselves worse than their anglo peers and so garner more complaints, (b) this group is more likely to be complained about because clients are acting on their prejudices, (c) this group attracts clients who are just more likely to complain, or (d) some combination of the above. Frankly, the non-anglo named lawyers I've dealt with are more likely to 1. Not be native English speakers and run into language problems, and 2. Tend to have gone to out of jurisdiction law schools that were inferior to Ontario law schools. I'd say I've had disproportionately more issues with non-anglo lawyers while practicing

He was living in a gated community in prison too. What did he do at the casino? Scare people by the very sight of him? Casinos can be rather arbitrary.

I think the initiative is confusing and has many potential loopholes. The solar panel part may be taken care of in the definitions of available roof area since they are renewable devices. There are many unanswered questions about how effective this measure will be and there should be concerns about the measure actually having negative environmental impact. People should Google ‘green roofs in arid climates’ to see some of the data and concerns. I find it annoying when people want to make public policy without careful review of data.

This pricing scheme will not have a negative effect on the black market. The prices in the article are in line with current street prices. Black marketeers need only drop their price by a couple bucks a gram, if even, to retain their sales.

Costumes are fun. Just don't be an imbecil about it. And Halloween is not "just for kids." Plenty of adult stuff to do. Don't be the office cranky lady.

What about the 30% of us who do itemize. We don't matter?

Because they allow a few dissenters to create the illusion of impartiality. Next question?

In Canada the evidence shows that elected officials do not represent the people. They represent special interests and are governing to benefit their special interests. Canada's "elected representatives" do not care about Canada or Canadians, only themselves and their special interests.

These people all know full well what 'allegations' are and what a 'hit piece' is and the politically motivated timing of it all could not be any clearer. Any potential argument that they could make to defend their position in this blatant, joint character assassination effort between Democrats and RINOs is insufficient. These people should be forced to step down or be thrown out of office. They've declared Moore guilty without trial or evidence. If it wasn't clear before, it certainly is now. These traitors to America's 'innocent until PROVEN guilty' justice system are unfit to hold their positions.

There's apparently no statute of limitations for criminal sexual assault in Alabama if the victim was below the age of consent, 16, when the assault occurred. According to one source, linked below: "Alabama gives prosecutors a lot of time to file violent or childhood sexual abuse charges. The criminal statutes of limitations vary depending on the severity of the offense. The criminal statutes of limitations include: No statute of limitations: rape, violent sexual abuse, sexual abuse with the threat of violence, and any sexual abuse of a victim under the age of 16 . . ." Roy Moore could face charges of child molestation even now, almost 40 years later. https://www.legalmatch.com/law-library/article/alabama-statutes-of-limitations-for-sexual-abuse.html

The story is evasive. It says that about one in a thousand pedestrian deaths in the period from 2010 to 2014 are blamed on the pedestrian being distracted by an electronic device, and then seems to skip over a few steps and prescribe remedies premised on the assumption that most care/pedestrian collisions are the driver's fault. The first problem is the time period that data covers. Smart phones, and smart phone addiction, have become quite a bit more common since 2010, and awareness of the distraction issue is likewise fairly recent. The odds are quite high that many older distracted walking incidents were classified simply as "inattentive pedestrian" or some similar catch-all. Likewise, I expect the fatality rate from distracted walking increases significantly each year. Let's have the truth. Of all car/pedestrian collisions, what percentage are the pedestrian's fault? My impression is that pedestrians are at fault significantly more often than drivers are.

Hilarious. So what you’re saying: “NO, it’s that idiot that copied my idiotic statement.” I’m so relieved to know that the idiots are arguing about who came up with “stay off the booze”. Like Trump thinking he came up with “bat sh.t crazy”. Really Hilarious. Did Hillary put you guys up to this to divert attention from her emails?

Thanks for offering ideas, jaybe. How do we define a "non-resident buyer"? Currently, a lot of untaxed money, including off-shore money, is put in the hands of a "resident" buyer. That's how much of this capital circumvents "foreign buyers'" taxes. We should certainly define "resident" more narrowly. I'd be in favour of banning RE purchases by anyone in Canada on an international student visa, 10-year visa, or TFW permit. That said, what's to stop a Cdn. citizen or PR from accepting untaxed money from a "supporter," buying RE, cashing out later, and splitting the tax-free profit with said "supporter"? In many cases, the "supporter" would reside off-shore. That's one consideration I was trying to address in my proposal.

Just call me Nemo: I don't know. Politicians turn up, usually, to sign the deal and make speeches. Some are saying Trudeau's no show was a tactic.

Russia ha no alternative all season warm wate ports - we do !

Who signed a deal? Sounds like cultural issues and the auto sector, the contentious stuff, got put off until another day so that 10 out of the 11 nations present could release a positive-sounding communique! One country present didn't even agree with the "broad consensus". A deal is a way off yet.

Bravo! Thanks for this article. Your opinion needs to be reiterated often in every MFA class.

Nice, well thought out reply. Anything else? Those labels are so overused, they meaningless.

That isn't why I rejected her; I figured that Trump would steal less than she and Bill and Chelsea and the entrenched Democrats in the bureaucracies would! I mean, the Democrats had their trotters in the trough for eight years; it was time to let some new pigs at the swill!

Incorrect about the Globe last election, it said Harper has to go but supported Cons - as that was impossible, that's an endorsement of Liberals.

Isn't this what Alinsky teaches ? Hold people accountable to their moral standards for they can never live up to them. You make him sound like a Bill Clinton kind of guy but your elected Democratic congress agreed Bill should remain in office.

Maybe they could get the big red chair from the Graham Norton show.

LOL. What's ridiculous is your attempting to justify juvenile name-calling of US presidents. And your hypocrisy. Thanks for helping confirm it.

China produced nearly a third of the total global CO2 emissions in 2015. Cutting that number down with natural gas benefits not only China, but the rest of the planet as well.

Thanks! Luckily, with a socialist hometown newspaper, I get plenty of practice.

Liberal anti gun "solutions" are unconstitutional, ineffectual, and unenforceable.

Isn't it funny how people who rant about all things "PC" are the ones throwing literal tantrums over the smallest things? Also, hockey player =/= Canadian. Does this really need to be explained?

Go get 'em ladies.

You're right, C.T., but Trudeau won't ever get fairness from the old Harperites here. They come only to gripe, don't spoil their fun.

And that is being unfair to the excellent teenagers who work at Dairy Queen

So you're an advocate of jailhouse justice? Kind of UnAmerican, don't you think?

Not too bright are you?

I see you’ve given yourself a laughing emoji. Who does that? CAUGHT!
