Drug overdose deaths in the US equal car and gun deaths combined. according to today's column by Nicholas Kristof, which we may see soon in the R-G, the US has 312 drug-related deaths per million, compared to Portugal, which has legalized all drugs and treats addicts as a medical, not criminal, problem, and has 6 deaths annually per million. Sweden has 100 dpm, England 60, Netherlands 16. Our criminalizing of drugs has got us nowhere. Europe in general is secular, while the US is drowning in religious conservatism, much like many Muslim bastions with their religious strictures on all aspects of private behavior. This is costing us lives. Addiction is a medical affliction, not a sin, and the sooner we start treating addicts like a medical problem rather than shooting them dead (they often accomplish that on their own) the better off we will be. Thomas Laird Twyford II (his friends call him Stinky) has no idea whether this dead dealer's customers have died, or not.

I wouldn't trust ANYTHING put out by Treb with a barge pole. The Canadian Real Estate Market stopped being a domestic market more than 10 years ago.

On this point, and extending to other aviation related incidents and issues, Hawaii cannot afford to have any interruption of air service, lest it affect the air-conveyor belt of tourists coming to the state and spending money. If anything resembling what happened on the United flight were to occur on a Hawaii-bound or mainland bound flight, there would be a large hue and cry to haul that airline exec in front of the State Legislature (and by extension, the court of public opinion, Hawaii style). The dressing down by that court on the executive would have lasting ramifications on overall perceptions people have about coming to Hawaii - considering the distance and time it takes to get here from anywhere.

Red light cameras typically cost $4,000 to $5,000 per month per camera. If they ticketed only dangerous drivers that deserve tickets for endangering themselves and others, the cameras would not collect enough total fines to even come close to paying their own high costs. Red light cameras require ticketing a high percentage of safe drivers to produce profits, but enforcement for profits is 100% wrong, 100% of the time. Call, write to, and meet with your elected officials to say NO to ticket cameras. Attend every public meeting to say NO to ticket cameras. Get your family, friends, co-workers, etc. involved to get more people saying NO to ticket cameras. Red light cameras are for-profit rackets no one should accept. James C.

“Our plan was to have a house bought by the end of the summer, and now we’re really not so sure,” she says. “We don’t feel like we’re in as much of a rush any more. ... We feel more confident that if we wait two or three months, we might get a better deal than we could right now.” Pretend this was a comment by a Vancouver house hunter after the implementation of the 15% foreign buyers tax, when sales here stalled. Fast forward a few months and after price for sf detached flatlined, it is now heading right back up. Price for condos and townhouses never went down, and continues their double digit rise. Not to defend the market, or to say Vancouver sales/demand will replicate in the GTA. But sadly everyone here who hoped for a market correction ended up disappointed.

Why don't the bishops use the quality of research and expertise available to them? That's a fairly complex problem. I think that because one of the hoops they have to jump through to become a bishop is to be FTTM (Faithful To The Magisterium), i.e., virtual yes-men to Rome. Also, +Pell managed to put in place some younger very conservative prelates (e.g. Anthony Fisher, 54 years old when appointed archbishop of Sydney) to ensure that there would be no change for the next 20 years. They have tended to be managers and CEOs rather than prophetic leaders. Their failure to act decisively on the abuse issues until forced to do so by the Royal Commission is telling. One description given of the bishops' response to the Royal Commission's findings was "like rabbits caught in the headlights". Even so, there must be some forward-thinking bishops, as George Pell was never elected as Chair of the Australian Bishops Conference. Let's hope that commonsense will prevail wrt the 2020 Plenary Council.

If it helps, great.....I don't really care if the age is raised to 50. However, with 90% of smokers starting before age 18, I'm far from convinced that the raise to 21 will have a significant impact. It's important to remember that, for the vast majority of young smokers (under 18), they're still living at home, their parents are more likely to be smokers as well, and they don't need to find a buddy to buy their cigarettes. As I've said previously, raising the age "looks good" and might do some good. I don't mind the change at all, but I don't expect a significant drop in that nearly 20% smoking Americans because of it.

With respect to Mr Nelson's view that Hawaiian disapproval of the TMT on the grounds their views are "provincial" whereas the TMT is "universal".

Oh man this brings back memories. Memories of the mailman arriving with a serious look in his eyes as he slowly and gently unloaded several buzzing boxes at our mailbox. I'd help assemble hive boxes and put beeswax sheets in frames. I also recall holding a long ladder as my mom climbed up into a tall tree with a burlap bag in hand to try to recapture a swarm. Dad worked away on highway construction during the summer but Mom stayed home and raised chickens and bees. She kept the honey but she really wanted the bees for her garden. Mom had one heck of a big garden. I was always amazed by the bees, how they all worked together and how they stayed warm all winter by flapping their wings fast enough to heat the hive. Amazing creatures. All those years we handled them with no gloves or nets and never once were stung. Wasps, hornets and bumble bees got me a time or two, though!

If we are starting an 11,700 year natural cycle and temps have gone up about 1.5 degrees in 100 years, then at that rate they will go up an average of 15 degrees in a thousand years. Projecting further, that would be 150 degrees until about the end of the so called current warming cycle. We're doomed! Of course the problem is that the rate of temperature increase is about a hundred times faster than what has naturally occurred in the past. Oh, and Dale also does not mention that our 6% of the world's population consumes 20% of the world's energy (with equal CO2 effects) or that China is engaged in the largest deployment of solar energy systems in the world.

continued. And it’s all out there. None of this was ever hidden. Trump and his family don’t even really try to deny the above; they revel in it. They are narcissists supreme. There is *nothing* admirable about this person. Nothing at all. And he has passed it on to his children. I’m always reminded of a tweet that DT Jr. sent years ago where he was praising how the hired help worked for his family over Christmas or something, and he posted like “love loyalty to us!” They are just the most openly despicable people. And so *obviously* so. They don’t even hide it. Their evil and hypocrisy is *open*. They praise themselves for it. I genuinely can’t think of a worse person in public life.

In an expanding 'market', its hard to be plan for any community to be self-sufficient. Human nature, at least 'modern' human nature, often exploits to the breaking point. You may recall the sad history of the passenger pigeons- in the 1800s, the skies of the upper midwest states would be darkened as the flocks moved from location to location. Scientific estimates placed the population at ~3 BILLION. And so hunters and farmers and all the rest would shoot to their hearts' content. Until there were none. As mentioned, the Israelis are doing all they can to be self-sufficient. They are not at that point but that is their goal. Resources are finite unless/until we find additional sources- much like geologists have had to revise the earth's content of fossil fuels. Deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico has led to expanded estimates. In a perfect world, all peoples would have some unique resource that is of value and can be bartered with others in trade. Hope this addresses you.

So? If you aren't familiar with how and why the meteorological station at 3400 m above sea level on the north flank of Mauna Loa was selected to host the laboratory collecting the oldest continuous in situ measurements of atmospheric gases, you should familiarize yourself with the history, as well as how CO2 emitted by volcanic vents to the south and east are handled. "Mauna Loa is also an active volcano, and USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) scientists are sometimes asked if gas released from the mountain affects the ambient CO2 values reported by MLO. The short answer is no. Although instrumentation at MLO can easily detect CO2 emissions from the rift and summit caldera emission sources when winds blow from that direction, MLO scientists are careful to exclude these data from the background CO2 record." http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/obop/mlo/ http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/volcanowatch/view.php?id=277 http://cdiac.ornl.gov/trends/co2/sio-mlo.html

The area in question is a thumb of state land protruding into the middle of an ecosystem, along the northeast corner of the park, where there are predictable movements of wolf and caribou. This is the relatively small area in question, which has great access to the highway system and lots of four wheeler and snowgo routes. Not a big controversy about how important these lands are. Seems as if the board of game is more than qualified to reinstate closed areas here, for state management reasons - no need to bring in the feds. Larry, you seem to think that if the state owns it, there is no possibility of wolf conservation. But, if you look at state management documents, you will see that wolf conservation is not simply a "federal" value, but a "state" one too, though not employed much these days.

In large reverberant churches such as the one you described there is only one type of sound system that works effectively, and that is small speakers in every pew voiced low so as not to be amplified by the natural acoustics of a large reverberant building. The problem is, most sound engineers have no skill or experience in working in such an acoustical environment and so inevitably put in the wrong kind of system which only makes matters worse. These sound professionals are only accustomed to working in totally "dry" acoustics and so are unprepared for the challenge of dealing with a "live" room. I've attended masses where such a sound system is installed, and you can both understand the spoken word and hear music with a lot of acoustical reverberation, which is good for much church music, especially of the classical variety such as you might expect to hear in a cathedral.

We have 2 SUVs and drove them both in the harshest winter here in Vancouver last year. One was equipped with winter tires while the other with all season m+s. The difference is night and day. The acceleration is almost equal as both are all wheel drive. In braking, the vehicle with winter tires has a much shorter distance than the other with all seasons. Winter tires also provide more traction and better handling on a snow covered road. In short, winter tires are a must even in the most mild winter conditions of BC.

With this law the unions are to become the bosses and the State the employee. The unions can dictate the job requirements and how they are directed in doing their job? What is level about that? Unions can dictate layoffs meaning although there is no work the employee will be paid to do nothing. How much are you citizens willing to take? With the union controlling the State, an increasing amount of your paychecks will end up as salary for the union presidents. More pay and more workers equal higher dues.

Hello ElRey! My commentary is not a work of "delusional assertions", as you rudely and groundlessly claim. And if you apply math the matter at hand, the truth should be obvious. Prosecutors across the land have been asked over the past many months to whittle down their cases to target and enrich for only those that are most likely to be won in court. In spite of that whittling down, there are still many, many cases across the land breaching the court-ruled expiration date. Logic should inform you that, in mathematical landscape, SOME of those expiring cases will, yes, have actually involved accused who did do the crime in question. You seem to think that the matter at hand is like in advanced physics, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, where you say that there is an unknowable feature of any single given case. No, to the contrary, no claim is being made here about any individual case. What is being recognized, correctly, is that the big NUMBERS of cases mean SOME are guilty.

Nope, not what I said. I pointed out that there is no-one balancing the advice. Just like the McCallum consultations across the country - with immigration consultants and business. The head of the Advisors also runs the Century Initiative - 100 million people by 2100 - how balanced of a consultation is that? Also, they held a consultation online and have not released the results - so what were the results. I will point out that 300k persons per year has not helped our economy. It does not help our economy to have high immigration with no job creation - that is the path environmental disaster and economic disaster for the people (not the 1%). Has your MP asked what your opinion is so they can take it to Ottawa which is how our democracy is supposed to work? Did the Liberals identify in their platform that they planned to increase immigration? How about real consultation such as a referendum/plebiscite? Canadians need to organize for pro-slow immigration.
