The RCMP obviously disagree with you. Wright committed the crime of bribing a Senator, a felony under Canadian law. He didn't do it out of the goodness of his heart, or because he loves taxpayers so much, but in order to hush Duffy up and avoid a scandal in the PMO.

Again, let the investigation take its own course unto fruition, and once completed, should said officer be deemed culpable of murdering a civilian, no matter the stripe, do not throw the book at them, but the entire library. As always, pigment of ones skin should not matter, as unto the officer doing the shooting, or the victim, receiving the shots, no matter the commentary afterwards. A very simplistic question within this, or any other LEO shooting, is thus. Did the officer within question murder the victim, or act within self defense, regardless of the pigment of either's skin? Should the officer have committed murder of an innocent victim, he should be charged with a capital offense, and sentenced unto death, themselves, period, as they represent law enforcement, not law execution. Should the officer in question, or any other officer, and/or their own vehicles have had cameras upon them to record said episode shall show the truth of the matter.

“Don't you get it , except for some of you liberals , people want him to be our president..” Wrong! Most of the people who voted did not want Trump to be president.

Wow, lau lau you so eloquent. No alcohol addicted member in my family, They all died already. One member liked alcohol and cigarettes at the same time. He did good only one domestic violence and one DUI and he had to get a special insurance policy. Several weeks back I met a "long time no see" cousin while I was at Costco. First thing my cousin asked me, " eh, your brother still drinking". I said no "he died already". I told her why, you never know he died. She replied, I no read the paper. Then I told her it was cremation and private services. Her reply was "must of been fast". I told her no took a little over a week. She then told me no cuz, he must have burned fast, We just kept talking. I have no problems with drunks. I let the cops take care of that. I never learned Ebonics in what country is that spoken. Drunks should rule the world. I would not mind. Billy should win his criminal case and run for governor, That would be cool.

You are missing the point. When he murdered my cat, he got probation ONLY because he agreed to 45 months in prison IF he broke probation. He broke his probation terms by possessing firearm(s) and marijuana. That is why he's going to prison. Also, rapists should get more than 10 years. What would be an appropriate punishment as far as you're concerned?

I think people might be a lot more concerned about this "Russian interference" if there was any evidence that they actually did anything other than reveal secrets being kept by the Democratic party and Hillary Clinton. No one has found any suggestion that they actually hacked any vote tallies or even so much as created some falsified statements from Clinton. All they did is reveal things that Clinton and other Democrats had said that they didn't want people to know about. Why did they only do so for the Democrats and not also for the Republicans and Trump? Who knows, maybe they figured that Trump was saying enough bad things in public that they didn't feel the need to dig though e-mails to try to discredit him? To be honest though the e-mails that the Russians supposedly released didn't reveal much and it is tough to imagine them having any impact at all. Mostly they just said the sort of things that were widely known publicly.

How is one supposed to ask, for example, who is behind this editorial, when it is unsigned?

Police officers accessing these record systems used to access registration information must have reasonable suspicion that there is a violation. They cannot "just run any plate" without the aforementioned reasonable suspicion. I have no reason to believe the officers have any specific beliefs. I do know that the training is lacking and it is inexcusable for the department to not address something that should be understood in the academy, let alone past day 1 of field training.

Ms Ferrari: You illustrate one of the sad states of today's world.......COMMON COURTESY ISN'T. I walk our dog down our country road each morning. When we hear an approching vehicle, we stop, our dog sits down beside me and we await the car's passing. I wave at every driver. All but one will always return a wave...it's such a simple, neighborly little routine and forms a bit (yes, a small bit) of a bond between us. The same is true for your walkers and other riders. A brief "hello", a smile, a wave, a "head nod", are all relatively painless motions and promote a friendly, neighborly "passing relationship". If that "common courtesy" were a bit more common, the world would be a better place. If you should ever ride over Hall Road, please be sure to wave as you pass my dog and me. I'll wave back and my dog, well-behaved hound he is, will continue to sit by my side. Keep greeting those folks. Maybe some individuals will read your letter and be more friendly, regards, Gary

Fair enough; I think a well stated opinion is always valid. I still think, though, that the act of a solitary madman is aberrant behaviour rather than terrorism. In my mind, for the term to be legitimately applied, the perpetrators need to be working toward a long term goal in a planned fashion (albeit a misguided one in almost all cases). The reason I am a little nitpicky about the whole thing is that it seems inaccurate to use the same term to describe Al Qaeda or Isis and a kook like Alexandre Bissonnette.

“It’s easier to buy a joint for a teenager than it is to buy a bottle of beer. That’s not right,” Mr. Trudeau told reporters. “We know by controlling and regulating we are going to make it more difficult for young people to access marijuana.” *** The PM is trying to put the furies back in Pandora's box. He has utterly lost credibility on this matter and is paying lip service to a serious problem entirely of his own making. He has no strategy to prevent this from happening.

Produced water COULD be as clean as well water (a different type of produced water by the way) or it could be toxic. Produced water is defined as the water that comes back out of the well. If you weren't so insistent about selling your lies you would know this. And we know you forgot to mention that oil and gas wasn't the issue that most people were rightly worried about with the floods of 2013... It was all the raw sewage released into the water. It is nice to see you replace your lie with something closer to the truth regarding benzene near I-25. Normally you say 1000 times the safe limit which is an immediately lethal dose of benzene. But when its obvious you are a anti oil and gas shill with no concern for the truth and absolutely willing to lie to spread your message its shocking that anyone believes you.

I fully support free speech and freedom of peaceful assembly, it's just a bit ironic considering the US is still a free country (as demonstrated by the hundreds of thousands if not millions of protesters on Saturday).

Thank you for this article, Beth. The decision has caught a lot of people off guard and I know quite a few who have already been impacted by it even outside of the UAA system. People are now having to finish their degrees elsewhere to be able to continue with their skiing (and taking their tuition money with them), being forced to look for new employment and feel that they have been kicked out of their own home. We deserve a much more involved breakdown of the logic behind the decision. It seems like an extraordinary waste given the many ways that the skiing community continues to give back to us as Alaskans, and the ways in which it draws attention to our state from prospective students and competitors from the lower 48 and around the world.

Think about a concert. The organizer of a concert is generally required to get a permit so someone is responsible for liability and other costs, and so public safety professionals can assess the risk of the event regarding staffing.

What's the incentive to work this out? They get paid more if they don't. You know you've reached a compromise when both sides walk away upset. If our elected officials think we're upset about our PFDs, our schools, an income tax, etc., wait until we get a chance to vote since our State government seems to be taking measures-of-success from our Federal budget developers and it's not good. Work it out. Make hard choices. Don't mortgage our futures. Balance our budget. Sadly, we may have to tighten our belts financially but as long as leadership is doing the same, it's going to go over a little better.

I agree with Samuelson's 'solution'! "Under Mankiw’s proposal, the airline would have to offer passengers enough money so that four of them would decide to take the money or some combination of a free ticket and cash. Let’s assume that two passengers require $1,000 plus a free ticket, a third accepts a $1,200 buyout and the last sets a price of $1,500. "I would tweak Mankiw’s proposal by requiring that all the bumped passengers receive the highest payment. In this case, it’s $1,500. (On this issue, it’s not clear where Mankiw stands.) So the airline’s total cost would be $6,000, plus the cost of vouchers for new tickets. I would also put an upper limit for each passenger, calculated as some multiple of a full ticket price, but it would be high."

So, because Jeff Sessions actually did something required by law and ethically correct Trump wishes he hadn't given him the job? Says a lot about the President.

The claim is actually that man made global warming exists and is a concern not the other way around. To that end, not one projection has ever been correct, every prediction Al Gore and his "experts" predicted in an inconvenient truth have not come about. Claim after claim and study after study has been shown to be full of misrepresentations bad science and even outright lies. When discovered these stories are buried on the back page of the newspaper and quickly forgotten but the fact remains. If these storied were front page and an honest discussion could be had we would have a platform to have actual consensus, unfortunately Socialism / Marxism does not allow for competing ideas so we have politics over science.
