Nope. The DP is not an educational source. They have no such responsibility. We're not talking about 12 year-olds. If certain people aren't smart enough to know the risks of an activity, maybe they shouldn't be doing it. Or maybe they should. Not everything can be taught, controlled, legislated, etc.
If you read an article about a dangerous activity and think: "Wow, I should try that!" That's on you.
The thing that's missing from comments like yours is the concept of personal responsibility. Sometimes it's your own fault and NOT someone else's responsibility. | 0 | not toxic |

Jack,
Absolutely. I would never ask a person in distress if they had medical insurance before giving first aid or taking them to a hospital. I wouldn't ask if they were Christian, Muslim or Jewish. I wouldn't ask if they were a Republican or Democrat. I would help them, period. Sometimes you have to hurt those you help. Although they may be comfortable lying on the street in a certain position, moving them will cause pain, the end result is to get them well. Likewise, helping people to see the spiritual truth can cause some temporary pain. The end result though is even more lasting than the temporary help one can offer to someone in physical distress, as it can mean their eternal soul. Jesus said, "I desire mercy, not sacrifice"

HyperbolePhil,
I would challenge you to find that quote. I am pretty positive that I have never said the state bonding money is free. It is paid for by the entire state as an investment into court facilities that benefit the entire state. There is also a requirement for local funding match of a minimum of 50% of the cost. It will not be free for this county to have an adequate court facility, but we do have an opportunity to have part of the cost spread across the entire state just as other county courthouse projects are doing like Multnomah.
What we do have is an unprecedented opportunity to master plan our civic center and make good decisions that make the best use of existing space to minimize the need for new space if it can be done in a collaborative and open manner. I look forward to working with the City on finding the best and most efficient solutions to the needs of our citizens. | 0 | not toxic |

THERE ARE ONLY TWO QUESTIONS WE NEED TO ASK CANDIDATES FOR THE NEXT LEGISLATURE THIS SUMMER:
*** WILL YOU VOTE TO IMPROVE GOVERNMENT SERVICES TO LONG-TERM RESIDENTS BY FUNDING GOVERNMENT WITH INTEREST EARNED FROM THE PFD, & BY USING THE PFD AS A "SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUND" SIMILAR TO NORWAY AND SAUDI ARABIA?
*** TO FUND THIS CHANGE, WILL YOU VOTE FOR A 1.5% TAX ON GROSS INCOME; A CONTINUED SHARP REDUCTION TO PFD DIVIDENDS (MOVING GRADUALLY TOWARD ZERO) ; AND A REDUCTION IN STATE SUBSIDIES TO BIG OIL?

Eric Bjerregaard, Those studies are relevant to the topic at hand, which is GMO farming and its effect on the environment and public health. You don't live in Hawaii, but everyone in Hawaii who is familiar with this issue knows that the GMO corporations in Hawaii use chlorpyrifos in large quantities. Prenatal exposure to chlorpyrifos was determined in one study through umbilical cord blood plasma. Both studies were published in peer reviewed journals. Both studies show that chlorpyrifos is associated with neurodevelopmental problems. So much for your claim of an "impeccable safety record." | 0 | not toxic |

Run the rail to Middle Street and run buses (not trains) on the track. One set to Downtown and another to UH. Make these express buses with no stops between Middle Street and Downtown/UH. Run the buses one way in the morning up to noon and the other way in the afternoon/evening. If we can keep the UH bus on the freeway and not have to wind its way thru street traffic, even better!

Doing our bit is required on two levels. This article deals rather nicely with the sufferers and is asking us to do our humane bit on that level. The other level, of course, is to help replace those who are not governing us effectively; those who fail to effectively encourage wealth creation and who allow the wealth still being produced to be squandered. That is the important level on which to do our bit. | 0 | not toxic |

Sid and Larry, Here is a partial list of what President Trump has accomplished in 6 months.
1.) Withdrew from TPP
2.) Re-instated the Mexico City policy preventing money going to foreign non-profits that perform abortions.
3. )Freeze on Federal Hiring
4.) Nominated James Mattis Secretary of Defense. Confirmed
5.) Protect whistleblowers in the VA
6.) Signed a bill, "Buy American, Hire American"
7.) Signed a bill nullifying President Obama's anti-gun law
8.) Nominated Neil Gorsuch to Supreme Court. Confirmed
9.) Withdrew from Paris Climate deal
This is a very abridged list. He also signed 36 executive directives that did not require Congressional approval.
I can see how some of these actions might have Sid spilling his coffee, but Larry, come on! I use to read your column. Almost everything Trump's done, so far, should have you grinning ear to ear. I agree different ideas and opinions can be exchanged with civility and people do it right here every Saturday! | 0 | not toxic |

A homosexual male ordained to the priesthood confects valid Sacraments and can live a life of holiness but a homosexual orientation impedes a priest from relating to the Church as Christ does his Bride, akin to a homosexual man married to a heterosexual woman.

Yoh, remember that paper surplus of a few million dollars in the final months of the Dosanjh NDP administration.
It was based on a pipe dream of collecting from California for providing power from the Burrard thermal generating station during the Made By Enron Power Crisis.
California decided that BC Hydro PowerEx and TransAlta were part of Enron's fraud, and demanded US $ 3.2 billion in fines instead of paying. BC Hydro got away with paying a bargain US $750 million to make it go away, and was stuck with the bill for the 100s of millions of natural gas it burned to generate the power exported to California. Enron drove up natural gas spot prices by creating unnecessarily congestion in gas transmission lines.

Yes, the A.C.A is in fact the problem---For ignoring the realities of the current marketplace. Insurance is not health-care: The law itself is a band-aid that addresses very little, especially rising health-care costs; now we have steadily rising insurance costs as well.
If insurance companies are going to put themselves between Americans and their health, and use that position to repeatedly soak ordinary citizens to preserve their profit margin, then yes, they need to go: Single-Payer is the only viable option.
For those of you whining about "incompetent government," it's a far better use of public funds than bombing the hell out of third world countries, and making more enemies, geometrically, with every drone strike.

John McCain, who ran for president against Obama in 2008, was born in the Canal Zone. Ted Cruz, who ran for president in 2016, was born in Canada. No right-wing media or Republican politicians attacked either one. As the editor writes, "birtherism" was a tactic whose only intent was to discredit the presidency of Obama. It was dishonest, it was contemptible, and it worked, to a degree, among the rubes. Now the target of birtherism is Hillary Clinton.

"No jurisdiction has ever taxed their way to prosperity"
I guess you have no knowledge of what FDR did in the US and how progress income tax created the golden era of capitalism, not to mention the Bretton Woods system.
It still amazes me that the bottom 95% still buy into neoliberal economics. Please remember what the great Alan Greenspan said about the collapse of the US financial sector. He said he did not know why the market failed at regulating itself and admitted his assumptions were wrong. I submit that the belief in a free self regulating market is a myth. There are all kinds of so-called distortions. Many of which are created by the free market fundamentalists themselves.

Capitalism is a great way of generating wealth. But it doesn't necessarily distribute it very well.
There was an interesting series on PBS, 'Victorian Slum House' (will probably be repeated) in which they tried to recreate the lives of the very poor in London during the Victorian Era when there was no income tax, health and safety laws, minimum wage, compulsory education, etc.
In short, the government didn't 'interfere' with the workings of the free market.
The poor for the most part got poorer and the wealthy for the most part chose to ignore it or assume 'the poor' were responsible for their own plight. (A study in the latter part of the century concluded most poor people were in fact working hard. But their wages were very low.)
Karl Marx, observing all this in the 19th C., concluded that capitalism would be overthrown when a tiny portion of society ended up owning virtually everything and the vast majority of the population found themselves living in abject poverty. | 0 | not toxic |
The Irish bishops had a window of opportunity to be really honest and upfront. That's what this Pope wants. Sadly, even before departing for Rome, they said they would not be raising the matter of optional celibacy/married clergy. It had been put forward by the bishop of Kilmore following a diocesan synod of clergy and laity. I had hoped that the bishops would have had more courage to raise this issue knowing that Francis will at least listen and won't be scandalised. Unfortunately, it may be another ten years before they get that chance again. A very crucial ten years given that the average age of Irish priests is now nearing 70 . | 0 | not toxic |

The A*ss-backwards connotation that "protection" is wrong is exactly what bank fraudsters do.
The great depression occurred because banks were deregulated, after massive unemployment the governments brought back regulation and then ALL of our countries flourished and had a middle class.
The 2008 crash happened from deregulated banking practices under the Bush Administration and "protectionism" actually protects you from having to bail them out for their fraud. Add further, we used to have a bank capital tax, that was removed and replaced with the carbon tax. Let's bring back regulation and tax the banks and stop all the fraud. | 0 | not toxic |

Nobody's tossing anyone over to the side. The problem, which many refuse to acknowledge, is hatred against both. I have no idea why a tolerant person would be opposed to what these two human rights advocate wrote in the Globe:
"Canada’s record prior to the war was to deny refuge to Jews fleeing oppression in Germany, Russia and other unwelcoming countries. We’ve already lived through a “none is too many” immigration policy; we must avoid unintentionally reinventing that shameful past.
"Yet, many have reasonably argued that when it comes to Muslim refugees today, especially from war-torn Syria, the anti-Muslim rhetoric falls dangerously close to what Canadians heard in prewar times."

The far left has taken a natural occurring situation, global climate change and turned it into this crisis (man-made climate change).

This is why the man-made crisis was created in the first place.

Interesting to watch Trudeau play the business card.
While sticking it to small business (aka "The 1%" allegedly) in the form of tax hikes and heaping opprobrium on hard working people across the land, Justin simultaneously tries to position himself as the champion of Canadian industry by supporting Bombardier vs Boeing. Bombardier, helpfully, is in Quebec. You know, that province where Energy East was just canned because it would cost Liberals votes? Bombardier also happens to be a bastion of MIDDLE CLASS employment (in Quebec), the guys JT and BM claim to care/know so much about. Objectively, I can see the merits of confronting Boeing. I can also see the cynical smoke screen that our mascot, erm I mean PM, emits in his efforts to play up this dispute in the face of his government's assault on small business. Message: the right business is one that relies on the feds/provs and can threaten unwelcome lay-offs around election time. Self-reliant small businesses? You're on your own. | 0 | not toxic |

What the counter-protesters/Antifa don't realize is that they did exactly what the White Nationalists wanted. One of the people that organized the rally said afterwards that the entire point of the rally was to get the left to come out and protest, proving their point that "white men are being marginalized in the United States". It was a planned recruitment tool for their party/organization and the lefties took the bait. Had the lefties remembered that while they disagree with this particular group, the group has every right to say what they want under the First Amendment. It wouldn't be any different if Muslim men held a rally saying America should follow Sharia law (which makes women second class citizens and allows/encourages the killing of LGBTQ people). You can disagree with them, but they have every right to say it as long as their not acting on it at the rally.

Even though I never owned HCG, I followed the story the moment the OSC laid charges. I felt it could be a great learning opportunity for myself. (I don't, and never will claim to be the world's best investor)
I even referred back to the Canadian Securities Course text to find out about 51-102.
Unfortunately, HCG was a great company. Why the board chose not to disclose the issue with their outside brokers is beyond me. It really wasn't that big a deal. But they broke the law and the moment the OSC laid charges all confidence was lost in the management and the board. I also agree with you that the OSC shares some blame for taking as long as they did to lay charges.
That is also why I read comments from commenters like you, Sandia, SFI, Sniktaw, Bazz, Ancientalso etc. These people have a lot of wisdom they are willing to share.
