Dave - I have to admit that I do not like your advice column. For the most part, I find your advice tone deaf and out-of-touch. This advice though - for once - was stellar. Right on the money.
I see this happening all the time. Glad that you are broaching it here and making it known that these feelings are actually a "thing" with almost every couple I know. | 0 | not toxic |

The idea of Alaska, indeed all Alaskans, as the "owners" of our resources is not wishful thinking. It is rooted in federal law...

If the county was named after Joseph Lane, and we decide to say that it was named after Lois Lane, then in reality it was named after Joseph Lane and we are just fooling ourselves.
If we are repudiating Lane, then we need to change the name to something completely different. And that will probably cost tens of millions of dollars.

I have to admit, I don't understand the need for separate burial grounds for ANY group. It seems to me this speaks to the larger, fundamental question of what kind of society we want, say we want, and the demands we make about, desire for inclusion. This seems to me a contradiction to claim, demand, want, desire inclusion on one hand but in death we want separation? What does it mean to be inclusive? I'd certainly be interested in understanding this issue more - because I suspect the reason for the vote might be a bit more complex that just not wanting people wearing Muslim garb in their neighbourhood? I hope anyway.

Agree, Just what I said, violent ones. Of course that means both sides. As long people clearly understand that means literally all sides get charged and/or banned equally. KKK in Anaheim is very peaceful for example. They are a non issue but have a message many do not like. Can't ban people because you disagree with their opinion.
The anarchists, most hiding their faces, attacked the 6 Klansmen. They are NOT peaceful. They could and should be banned from congregating now and in the future.

This is a ridiculous law suit that should be quickly dismissed by the judge. The labels on the packaged Kona Brewing beer say it is brewed in Oregon, Washington state, New Hampshire and Tennessee.

This meeting, which didn't involve anyone from the Trump campaign until it did, keeps adding more Russian participants, including a former Russian secret agent.

The Reds are a bad team with a dangerous lineup--that was a gritty win.
Saying that Jon Gray worked "slow and deliberate" is like saying that molten lava is a bit warm to the touch. For only the second time all year I got to watch an entire Rockies game uninterrupted, but that's almost four hours of my life that I won't be able to get back! A game that long should at least have more than eight total runs or 8 1/2 innings.
Final thought: I wish the Rockies weren't pushing quite so hard for Mark Reynolds to get that final All-Star vote for two reasons. One, they are being obnoxious about it and two, if Reynolds actually makes it that would give them five All-Stars which is a heck of a lot for a team that won't win the NL West. | 0 | not toxic |

Hi, nelson.
You may be right about "foreign money is now moving on to our smaller cities..." But a lot of other people are, too.
1. Frugal, middle-class immigrants. BC's immigrant population is declining. The newcomers are moving to the more affordable small-town prairies.
2. Canadian-born caucasian homeowners cashing out from the Lower Mainland are taking their new wealth and moving to places such as Abbotsford, Chilliwack, and--yeah--Kelowna, B.C. In the east end of the Fraser Valley--wow, the home construction on the slopes just outside of Hope is unreal--you rarely see an Asian face. | 0 | not toxic |

Everyone makes mistakes. The trick is to learn from them before they do much harm. She didn't. She was already going through programs that were telling her that behavior is dangerous. She didn't listen. That is no longer a "mistake".

Pretty simple. Learn quick and behave with respect for others first. | 0 | not toxic |
Your analysis is full of horse puckies. Harper left Trudeau 2, repeat, 2 balanced budgets and within six months Trudeau changed the last balanced budget into a billion dollar deficit.
Trudeau also lied through his teeth during the election. His "under $10 billion" deficit that will fix itself is now north of $25.1 billion, $2 billion greater than forecast in March of last year. His excuse? The economy is growing slower than expected! Isn't that what the deficit was suppose to fix? Remember, unlike Harper, Trudeau is not facing the largest global recession since the 1930s. In fact, he is not facing any recessions and is still running multi-billion, multi-year deficits.
Clearly, either Trudeau, Butts and Morneau can't add the cost of all their expensive promises or they purposely mislead Canadians on the costs.
Second, Trudeau is also lying to us again on replacing the Canadian fighters simply because he knows that in any fair and transparent competition the F-35s would win. | 0 | not toxic |

This where we kind of disagree. I wouldn't go as far as calling guns a hazardous product. I would instead say that a gun shop that doesn't adequately secure its merchandise should expect this type of thing to happen. We force homeowners who have a pool to have a fence that is a certain height to keep kids out as pools draw kids like magnets. Gun shops do the same for criminals. The end result may be the same in the semantics of our disagreement, but I find that the all guns all the time folks will argue the "hazardous product" bit while ignoring the rest of what you have to say. | 0 | not toxic |

His point (and alluded to in the column) is that stock splits by increasing liquidity among retail investors results in greater demand and ultimately higher share price.

It's his assumptions and direct use of the word everyone that doesn't strike me well and spare me the semantics spiel as I know how weak of an argument that is and it only promotes more of the same kind of nonsense comments like his and now your's, as in " We all know [what he meant]".

It will take a Solomon to solve unit 13 moose hunting, the BOG, from my perspective, seems to be anti subsistence. Many seem to be graduates of the R. Arno AOC which is the AK constitutional side plus whenever possible favoring the APH whom enjoy an income from harvesting the peoples resource.
The AK native communities in unit 13 historically shared resources, not everyone was a great moose or caribou hunter, some folks had a site where they could utilize various fish for human and the small dog teams. That is different than the present legal culture, I can remember one fellow that kept getting arrested for harvesting white fish, "over his limit". The current law did not take into consideration that many in that village used to participate and the resource had survived for thousands of years, same with steelhead which were harvested in the fall as well as under the ice in streams where they spawned.

Sher,
You wrote ‘No one wanted to invade Western Europe, because till the 17th century it was too poor.’ Tell that to the Ottoman Turks who started invading Europe in the 15th century and the Arabs before them.
And again, ‘The same reason people only emigrated from Europe till the 20th century.’ By the 1800s, Europe was richer than either China or India thanks to the Industrial Revolution. As a result of increases in population, Europeans left by the millions to settle, and develop, vast lands in the Americas and Oceania, that Europe opened up. Today’s North America, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand are the result of this huge migration of about 40 million Europeans. | 0 | not toxic |
