Fact is, BC's debt per capita is a fraction of what ON and QC is. Also, BC has the highest ratio of small business ownership in the country despite not being oil rich like Ab and not being manufacturing rich like Ontario. It is a small biz friendly province with the lowest taxes for small businesses in the country. This is why the province's economy is booming and unemployment is at historic lows. The NDP had their chance in the 90s and pushed up unemployment to 2-4 points higher while driving BC into a have-not province! BC needs a viable opposition and perhaps could use a change in government, but the NDP is not viable and could never govern any province competently.
4
Right and let me guess you look at the projected 300 million consecutive 5 year surplus and think great failing to see he multi billions added to provincial debt over the same time period. Not to mention leaving out there crown corporations that have been bleeding money. Also the debt to GDP models for both are completely different. Don't get me wrong they are in better shape then Ontario or Quebec but they're both on the opposite end of a spectrum. I could polish a turd with better economic outlooks than either of those 2 provinces. I will link to a website that will explain how each province arrives at the debt to GDP rate. Not enough space here to explain. Basically though what NBC likes to do to balance a budget is leave key figures out. It'd be like you going to a bank to give a budget but leaving off your mortgage payment. Obviously it won't be honestly balanced. http://behindthenumbers.ca/2015/02/20/apples-and-oranges-comparing-b-c-and-ontario-debt-ratios/

LaLaLand - a dreadful movie on every level.
5
I have seen most of the films up for Best Picture (except Moonlight). Out of all of them La La Land seems the best - well filmed, well acted and decent story.- I didn't think Manchester by the Sea rated a nomination though. Well acted but very little story line. No climax. No point or message to it. At the end the audience just said "That's it?".

The major difference is that China is Communist country with restricted/limited personal freedoms and rights. As well they are not a free market economy. People seem to forget the facade of democracy which China is not a democracy.
4
Would their be similar objections if a British or American firm had made the investment? If we are going to have an open economy we are going to have investment from the largest economy in the world. Chinese investors are aware that the Chinese economy is going to see growth slump to 1-2% per year over the next decade and want to diversify their holdings. Canada is the best positioned company in the world - stable government, lots of space, reasonable economic growth. China does have serious problems with (i) transparency and (ii) its own regulation of foreign investment. That is what we should be concerned about.

Yes, Natural Law. Pufendorf and Grotius made this clear. Don't forget that until fairly recent times, Natural Law held the dominant place in legal theory. It is the basis of Catholic moral theology, the basis of the legal thinking of Blackstone, our Founding Fathers ("We hold these truths to be self-evident, . . . that they are endowed by their Creator . . ."), Montesquieu, Locke, Aquinas, etc. etc. Even in your own thinking, you appeal to Natural Law. Your opposition to Jim Crow laws (positive law) is that it they are unjust. You correctly believe that if a positive law is "unjust" --- "just" being defined by reference to something higher than man-made law --- it is no law at all. The founders of international law believed the same way.

People don't walk around the US carrying legal documents of citizenship on our person at all times... We are moving toward it. We are moving toward that incrementally by 'normalizing' a demagogue's behavior by calling it "nationalist-populist" . And that is what the article is about... and is what I am commenting on. The labels used to "other" do not distinguish the difference between legally acknowledge and protected. One day, you may find yourself trying to prove your legal status and find you are unable to do so. In that moment -- remember this exchange. Oh well, maybe that's when we get a barcode tattooed on our arms? You ok with that? I'm not... How far is "too far" in getting the "other" government agents now deputize state and locals to do federal job, then vigilante groups? would they be ok? the lower the "nationalist-populist" movement drops the bar... we are no longer a democracy? You ok with that? I'm not...

Migration is the huge umbrella term that put you and me together with lots of people. Most people everywhere engage in some form of "migration". Immigration - legally defined - is a form of migration. Assylum seeker is a legally defined process that comes into play when the person 'connects' to the process. Process starts inside the sheltering country's boarders. Burden of proof is huge. Is difficult to connect with the process 'at the border' of a country. Refugee is a legally defined term by the UN. It is an acknowledgement of the circumstances that ask for protection. Awarded from a UN determined 'receiving' country. Think of US natural disasters... put armed guards and legal process between those fleeing Hurricane Katrina. Prove you must leave? Prove you can't go back? with what's in your pockets. Which "othering" label applies to someone who 'lost everything' in Katrina or Sandy. These gov. actions turned on legal residents happens by normalizing overstepping and 'othering'.

None of the three plan to hold a town hall event. All three are afraid to face their constituents. All three will only go where they can control access. If you have the cash to lay down and you sign onto the loyalty oath, you might get to sit across a room crowded with starry eyed groupies. Don Young spouts his 'open door' policy. Great if you can afford to go to DC and if he's even in DC when you get there, he holds records for being the Congressman least often on the job. You just know your representatives are representing your interests when they refuse to sit down with you in a recess week specifically designed to provide the public time and access to our representatives. This has been their normal operating procedure, but it sure shouldn't have ever been allowed. These three show no respect for their constituents, no respect should be shown them at the ballot box. Turn them out of office.

If you want some real entertainment give them $20.35 for your $13.35 purchase. Unfortunately, in reality its not funny.
6
Agreed, but before this can happen the education system has to properly teach basic mathematics (arithmetic). Loans, compound interest, monthly budgeting; none of this means anything unless you can competently perform basic arithmetic. Right now the education system is proudly increasing the graduation rate by lowering the bar for graduation. Ask a dozen high-school graduates to make change for a $13.35 purchase with a $20 bill without a calculator or automated till. Now ask them the implications of a 2% increase in the interest rate on a mortgage or a credit card debt. (P.S. - Then ask a dozen elementary school teachers...)

Sorry I don't follow We're already applying the fullest extent of the law - that's the point - that to do anything different would require changing laws. If you disagree, what aspect of the law do you believe isn't being enforced?
4
This is easy to fix. Make an announcement that sneaking into Canada will result in punishment to the fullest extent of the law or sent back to the country you came from. Knowing they have no option here the immigrants will do one of 2 things. Attempt to enter our country properly and legally or stay where they are. I want people to come to Canada but I want people who respect our laws.

Agree that it's strange that Audi doesn't offer the tow options from the Euro-spec'd cars. I can only guess that it's some regulatory matter since the Euro-spec'd tow option is a swing-out ball (completely hidden behind the bumper) vs having a Class type receiver which is more common in NA. Every third party tow-bar hangs below the bumper which isn't ideal. Nor sure how the author can call it "better than an SUV in every way" when you have to fudge a tow solution.
4
I was considering replacing my 2006 A4 Avant with the new Allroad, but they have no tow hitch option (none). Seems a bit silly as the Euro-spec ads I have seen show one with backup control similar to the Q7.

I would guess the vast, vast majority of Americans view the Confederate flag as a symbol of racism......that includes those who "fly" it. We're seeing a resurgence of overt racist behavior across our nation. With the election of Donald Trump, that should surprise no one. Certainly, there's no law against flying that flag, or being a racist.... They are 'creepy" disgusting behaviors, but, indeed, so long as those individuals don't break specific laws, they are free to be as creepy as they like. So, fellas, fly that flag, use the "N" word, and parade your racist views. Welcome to The New America.... Gary Crum
4
I don't see where she said the Confederate flag should be illegal; she just said that we need to speak out against what it represents. Our President has made racists feel comfortable. There's a reason Confederate flags and swastikas are appearing. There's a reason the Klan endorsed him. I'm not sure he can put that genie back in the bottle, but he's not interested in trying anyway.

Outstanding suggestion, monica, and one I support fully. I only hope it could happen before I leave for Rome in a month. We know so much more about human sexuality, Scripture, the anthropological and cultural condition of ancient times, and long-term studies of actual marital and sexual habits from societies around the world - cultures primitive and modern and everything in between. We also know quite well the impact on children of divorce, remarriage, serial partners of parents, early and then later sexual exposure, and so much more. It would be a wonderful discussion to have, if the rabid right-wingers would participate and not try and dominate. That is what kills so much discussion on these threads, and we still do not have the blocking option.

Social problems cannot be solved by individual action. That's why we have governments. The problem is when those who control governments refuse to deal with social problems, and voters give them a pass.

Good comment. I think part of the problem is that we've sunk into a mindset of finger pointing, looking for someone to blame - it's the Republicans fault, it's the Democrats fault, it's the . . . Generally speaking, I don't think we take responsibility for ourselves or have the individual self-pride of past generations. I also don't think we have quite the willingness to sacrifice, to put country (and future generations) before self. Why?? Maybe too many goodies, too many distractions, too much of a wanting to live the "good life". All of the stuff dangled in front of us on TV and in magazines - Go here, buy this. drive that . . . you'll be so happy. At best, momentary distractions. Seems like we don't believe in ourselves anymore. Negativity has replaced optimism - you can see it in a lot of the letters and posts on-line. Something is missing inside, and no president/political party, no "thing" outside ourselves is going to get it back for us. That's an individual responsibility.

So because a parish under his jurisdiction should be allowed to throw a tantrum because they didn't want to abide by the will of the bishop should be allowed be allowed to do what it wants because it is a special snowflake (dare I say conservative little snowflake)? As for comparing this to the Greek Catholic situation in the early 1900's, this is a totally separate kettle of fish. This does not seem to be an issue over cultural or religious issues, as there. This is a priest settingself up as an independent prelate in his parish and not wanting to follow his canonical superio. He is not a part of the Ordinariate nor is the parish, so all control over the parish and its property is by the bishop, end of story.
4
It is hard to imagine that this sad state of affairs in the Archdiocese of San Antonio, is not rooted in money. Of course, the Archdiocese only desires the spiritual well-being to the parish. Of course the Ordinariate only desires the spiritual well-being of the parish. Such zeal for souls is breath taking. Of course, once the Holy See established the parallel universe of the Ordinariate, this kind of kerfuffle was bound to happen. The appeal to Canon Law has never healed the schism between the Greek and Latin Church. Canon Law will not save this situation. The Archbishop has to let go or face the pastoral consequences of burnt earth in his Archdiocese.

The Charter of Rights and Freedoms would not allow such action. There is nothing that can be done to prevent a continual flow of illegals entering Canada via an unprotected border. The only way claimants can be dealt with is with the safe country expedited process. Our past indolence and inaction to border control has been facilitated by our geographical location, liberal principals and Charter protection given to aliens, as opposed only to lawful residents only. The repeated vocalized openness, inclusiveness and open arms to refugees by our Prime Minister will now be tested to the limit. His opinion that all Canadians support his viewpoint regarding our hospitality and liberal attitudes towards refugees and economic migrants will be severely tested over the coming years. Canada and a proportion of Canadians have been quite self congratulatory, one could say smug and superior, regarding refugee acceptance. Well we now will have to walk the walk and not just talk the talk.
4
Good point, in the meantime, anyone crossing the border illegally should face indefinite detention in a secure facility with expedited deportation for anyone who's claim was rejected in the US. The naive vocal minority from the Globe and CBC are trying to push a narrative that is fundamentally disconnected from the views held by the majority of Canadians. Illegal migrants are willfully breaking the law to jump the cue - illegal behaviour should not be rewarded. Turn them away at the border, use the military if necessary.

And how did you come about with your probabibility? If you mean life as we know it here, I could see some kind statistical probability in that. But if they mean microbial life, I would think that the chances are a whole lot better than a million to one. Bacteria, for example, can thrive in extreme temperatures. Yes, there are many conditions which must be met. But the sheer fact that it is within the habitable zone makes it more than likely that the three planets may harbor life.

Rather than just hand you the answer ponder the following: What do you think happens to your CPP contributions after they have been deducted from your pay? What do you think happens to the employer's portion of CPP contributions after they have been remitted on your behalf? What do you think happens when the bank pays corporate income tax? or other forms of taxes and levies to various levels of government?

I'm a "Dem" and I'm educated enough to know when to capitalize and when not to (Healthcare, got to mark that one wrong). I have a real job, and I pay over $35k in taxes every year. I also understand that as long as the right demonizes the poor, people like you will ignore the real issue, which is the growing income disparity in this country. Your so-called "free" entitlements, which by the way had nothing to do with Obama, cost pennies compared to what we pay in corporate welfare and what we lose by letting the wealthy offshore their earnings. I assume it's okay with you that your leader pays no taxes. Exactly why are you doing the bidding of billionaires? What have they done for you lately except screw you over?
4
Elections have results. Get over it. The taxpayers are tired of subsidizing the slackers in this country. If you Dems want real Healthcare, go get an education and get a real job. You can thank Obama for this "free" entitlement government. Time for things to change.

Richard, you are so right. It is time for a reboot. Whole agencies need to go away. Every agency has to be cut starting with highest paid employees first. 30% reduction in every agency. No more state funded welfare of any kind, only federal welfare if no state copay. Most Alaskans will greatly enjoy the the smaller government. We don't need the socialism.
4
The state budget needs to be cut at least another 30 percent . If that means the loss of jobs , so be it. We can't maintain an artificial economy by using state dollars to keep employees on the payroll that aren't needed . At the same time , we need to freeze all state spending on the gas line. Legislators benefits need to be cut as well . Additionally , now is the time to liquidate the PFD. With no more free unearned checks given away , thousands will leave Alaska reducing state costs on nearly everything. We'll need fewer teachers to fewer prisons, and fewer of everything in between . This will save the state perhaps a billion dollars a year. Then let legislators spend what they take in every year . Now is the time for bold action . The party is over.

Oh my god, So many people failed basic reading. The article clearly states the children are Canadian citizens. We can infer that the parents were in Canada when the child was born, thus making the child a Canadian citizen. The parents subsequently violated the immigration act (e.g. overstayed their VISA is a common one), and have been detained pending resolution of the case. The children are thus effectively detained with the parents.
4
By what method? As soon as they enter the country by some form of magic or Vulcan mind meld, they become "Canadian children" and the parents don't?

1/ Clinton never demanded "the Church's teachings be changed." Propaganda. Hillary's remarks: <<Yes, we’ve nearly closed the global gender gap in primary school, but secondary school remains out of reach for so many girls around the world. Yes, we’ve increased the number of countries prohibiting domestic violence, but still more than half the nations in the world have no such laws on the books, and an estimated one in three women still experience violence. Yes, we’ve cut the mortality rate in half, but far too many women are still denied critical access to reproductive health care and safe childbirth. All the laws we’ve passed don’t count for much if they’re not enforced. Rights have to exist in practice, not just on paper. Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.>>

I can sympathize. Trump's cult of personality scared me, and so did Clinton's views on abortion and her insistence that the Church's teachings be changed. It is the main reason why I voted third party.

If you want to get rid of abortions, then make contraceptives freely available. I have known women impregnated by rapists. You would punish them by making them bear the child of the rapist.
10
And that makes it less heinous? The number of abortions due to alleged health of the mother or tape are also quite low. Would you agree then to get rid of all other abortions??

He is Tea Party Trump, attracting those who have been left out of the future. One must evolve with the times. His followers have not, instead choosing to live with their resentment and blaming of "others". Everyone has the freedom to self-improve and to better their own lives, but it takes work and adapting to new realities. Automation and technology are replacing many menial jobs. People need to adapt and grow or be content to be left behind and realize it is their own choice

The problem is now the Department of Permits & Planning are easing up on rules so that developers do not have to really make it "affordable". So they are here to make a "Buck" and will build the buildings as cheaply as possible and if the rules are " relaxed" you can bet the code's will not be followed. So it will ultimately turn into Slums & Ghettos as the lower income buildings are normally not well maintained . Look at any of the low rent housing areas on Oahu . KPT, Mayor Wright, etc. etc. etc. Just what we need is another KPT with the crime that seems to follow it. Face it the RAIL IS A BOONDOGGLE AND A CHANCE FOR DEVELOPERS 7 UNIONS TO GET RICH while the public gets the shaft.

So what's the alternative? There's no question Hawaii's population is continuing to grow, and with it comes increased housing needs. If we stop building prices go up and Hawaii becomes only a place for the rich and homeless. With our very limited land building single family homes is restricted. There will be a day where we can't build anymore and people who can't afford it will be forced off this island but that day isn't here yet. At least this project proposes some affordable rentals, though I'm guessing the market priced condos will be out of reach for many locals and I don't really want more hotel rooms either.

When Obama care came out the Repubs had all these years to come up with a their plan but could not. Now they want to do something in a few weeks. Wake up! Come up with something instead of just complaining!

Well they sure better repeal all of this horrible act. Healthcare is a sad joke now, and there's too much in it to try and weakly piecemeal it away. Wipe it all from the books and establish new healthcare guidance based on free market ideas where the businesses serve us not a bureaucrat. Fail to do so and I can a democrat controlled congress in both houses in 2 years. Quit wasting time and take care of this cancer.

Roughly 40% of the so called undocumented aliens in the USA got there by coming into the country on visas for part time work at substandard rates so that US businesses could make larger profits. Those businesses have kept employing them with the full knowledge that their visas have expired. The businesses know they can push these people around because of the vulnerability of their situation. When Trump manages to deport all these people, there will be huge complaints from business about a shortage of labour and about US citizens unfairly expecting high hourly rates to do the work previously done by undocumented aliens on the cheap.

Which was my point when I brought it up above. <<You made a series of accusations and even you had to roll a couple back.>> Inaccurate and misleading. <<YOU made a mistake, I believed you, you recanted.>> Recant? Like I SAID above, I immediately noted the error and apologized. You expressed elsewhere your moral conviction that silence is complicity. Care to apply that standard when a neo-Nazi troll drops by?

In the end they are picking our pocket. So Trump says nothing about the anti Semitic hate crimes that are increasing and increasing because they are lining his pockets. The release of Trump's tax returns is becoming more and more important, but the GOP has more or less said, 'we are not going there'. The GOP are hardly patriots.

Foreign leaders like Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin do genuinely like Trump, but not as a kindred spirit. They're smart enough to know the man has no true ideology other than self-interest. No, they like him for the same reason a street vendor at the Grand Bazaar likes a tourist who's willing to pay their asking price without haggling. But liking and respecting aren't the same thing. Trump is ripe to get played by these guys, and the sad thing is, he won't know it. As long as they keep flattering him on his "strong, decisive leadership," Trump won't notice that they're also picking his pocket.

I grew up in Michigan and regularly visit family there. Not all stores in Michigan have nice inside returns. My family all lives in southern Michigan and I know what they and a lot of their neighbors do. They buy their soda and beer by the case in Indiana (no deposit) and put the empties in the garbage. (Bar codes prevent returning Indiana cans in Michigan.)
4
I don't mind the increase to 10 cents. When I lived in Michigan they did this but the big difference was that grocery stores had the bottle return inside the stores, not outside where it's not safe. I've been harassed and scared by mentally unstable can returners while trying to return my cans. It also really bugs me how low the caps are on the returns allowed in one day. I like to go a couple times a month, not every week. Some stores only allow a return o $1.20, that's so low. If the stores had hire allowances and clean, safe places to return them I bet the return rate would increase. If we want a return rate like Michigan we should look at the way they handle returns, not just up it to 10 cents.

A big thing that you seem to be missing is that some of the country's best land for agriculture is also where people want to live (for example, around the GTA). Sprawl does need to be controlled. The biggest problem we have is that the transportation system (highways, trains, etc) are way behind the times. If this was fixed and commuting wasn't so awful, people would be happy living further out.
4
It takes over nine hours to fly across Canada at 1000 kilometers per hour, and when you look down you see mostly empty land, yet governments think they need to manage sprawl and greenspace near the miniscule areas of the country occupied by it's large cities. Talk about a lack of perspective! Politicians; get in the air and look down at the country - we have nothing but space. You don't need to 'save' tiny bits of it for agriculture, but you do need to open it up for housing, particularly if we have large immigration into the cities. Ain't no jobs in the small towns anymore.

The impact would be minimal. Low income earners and adversely affected economic sectors would get the money back and higher income earners can easily save that money back by changing their consumption habits. That's what it is all about. Climate change is real, and it's bad and something has to be done.

Your premise is that it is morally alright from the perspective of Yahweh, the source of the 10, that the world be divided into have and have-not nations. And then within that fundamentally unjust system, it is morally wrong for the "have-nots" to desire what the "haves" have. If you want to adopt the perspective of the 10, you have to adopt the perspective of their promulgator, and of his messiah, Jesus. Guess what Jesus had to say about social justice, about welcoming strangers, about caring for the less fortunate?

Don't forget the voting machines that were hacked by Russian intelligence. Flynn was working with Russian spies to steal the election. Even the CIA doesn't provide all its information to Trump, because his team is full of Russian spies, and during CIA briefings he sends tweets about Ivanka's clothing line.

In my view a safe contaminated soil remediation and storage facility can be properly designed and operated safely at this site. In my view, this current owner and operator, the person behind all the corporate veils, cannot safely run this facility. He has neither the business acumen nor the business ethics to do so. This individual works to the motto, "I'll only do it till I get caught." Which, in the case of contamination, is too late. Anyone who knows this individual will concur.

LS We the people have VOTED more than once, on moving the Capitol, & WON! But for reasons unknown to us lay people, the Capitol is still, in Juneau!
4
As Alaskans, we all agree there is a real budget problem, so I’d like to understand the numbers here. Juneau has roughly 5% of Alaska’s population and anyone that travels there including our legislative delegation/staff and anyone wanting an audience with them (i.e. tribes, governments, nonprofit organizations) must fly to reach them. Then we pay for our legislative delegation and staffers to live in Juneau for the session (and of course any extensions to the sessions.) Anchorage and the Mat-Su Borough, all on the road system, account for about 400,000 of our 700,000+ residents, roughly 57% of our entire state. As an Alaskan citizen, I’d like to know in totality what it costs to send our legislators and their staff to Juneau each year, how much is spent on per diem, flights back and forth to their homes during the session, any other costs I may not be cognizant of. Now what do we save having them in Anchorage & using technology for remote meetings? Someone do the math, please!

So those smooth tireshaped ruts were caused by studs digging stud size holes in the asphalt, thats why those smooth surfaced ruts were dug out by small pits and not the weight of heavy trucks on rubberized asphalt during the warm months. Its tiny metal points collectively pushing down on frozen asphalt? Now we are all smart like Cathy.

Yesterday I followed a DOT truck with a snow plow blade under the chassis. This blade constantly shed sparks as the track made the five mile track. At the end of the short stretch of road the truck stopped. I knew the driver so I stopped to chat. . He was in the process of having to move the blade as the past few day of plowing had worn of most of the blade in contact with the pavement. Now tell me studded tires on my car did as much to the surface over that five miles as the surgical scraping of the ice of the surface.

You tell me what is scientific about any of the nonsense you claim as fact, I will help you out: sci·ence ˈsīəns/Submit noun the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. Be sure to pay close attention to the last 4 words. So based on this definition we can write off about 90% of your claims to truth and reclassify them into opinion and speculation. The "Big Bang" doesn't even meet the definition of a theory. It is CONJECTURE.

New knowledge happens at the bridge of ignorance. You were asserting a logical fallacy that because Neil Degrasse Tyson claimed ignorance than all of science must be some sort of lie. This is absurd. Remember how I mentioned I being raised in religious family? I heard this stuff about the odds of a habitable planet being so rare that it must be God. That is total nonsense. And articles like this cut through that ignorance like a hot knife with butter. Those ideas where posited in the 1920s before we had the telescopes we have now that have proven most stars have planets around them, and "habitable" planets are quite abundant. The odds have changed. The fact that you cling to ignorance in the comment section of an article like this is ripe. I'll posit this: did you just come from nowhere as a complete being? Or did you grow from a series of simple cells in your mother's womb? You don't think complexity can arise from non complexity? If God is the answer what made God? God is complex.

The past few times I've been to Everett Mall within the past four months, it's actually seemed more lively and crowded per square foot than Alderwood (though Alderwood is significantly larger). ALL malls are seeing declining sales now, but to say that Everett Mall has been "dying" for two decades ignores the uptick after the mall remade itself in the mid-2000s.

The fact that the Pontifical Commission is inadequately resourced was one of the worrying things to come out of this week's sessions.
4
Yes. The Royal Commission heard this week from members of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors. They said it was difficult to get a global agreement about making reporting to civil authorities mandatory, because in some countries such reporting further harms victims. However, they also said they were underfunded. The Commissioners asked Baronnes Hollins (chair) if she could ask the Pope for more funding. She thought she might.

So many dumb rhetorical questions. Try understanding the present homeless reality. There is plenty of good information available, if you make the effort to absorb it. https://www.facebook.com/pg/homeless.action.coalition/posts/

WRAP is an interesting piece of legislation. I assume that this bill, allowing homeless people to rest in public spaces—including in vehicles on city streets—would apply to the many retirees who live in RV's and are "homeless" as well. This would be a major financial break through for the many of us seniors struggling right now to pay our home mortgages, insurance, and property taxes. Just move into an RV! Will WRAP include increased public restrooms, even "honey pots", and trash and dump stations, so we won't have to relieve ourselves or dump sewage and garbage on streets, park ways, or in peoples yards? Will there be noise regulations forbidding loud arguing, drinking, or running generators after 10PM? Will campfires be allowed? WRAP could be a real breakthrough for homeless RVers! My wife and I already have some great Eugene streets and neighborhoods staked out, like high on Spring Blvd. where we can brew coffee, put chairs out, tunes on, and watch the sunrise. Go WRAP!

The only problem with that is that once most people get an education, they begin to think beyond their earlier frame of reference and their beliefs shift to be based upon inclusion and less upon exclusion, more upon acceptance and less upon fear. Education creates liberals.

How about mandatory quotas? Educational entities required to hire only conservatives until there is balance with the number of liberals on the payroll. Hey, it worked so well when liberals were touting that solution to gender and race........... I mean, how could they possibly object?

Naturally I rejoice that you espouse the truths that the holy men who guide us all are preserved from error by divine intervention. But I have deep concern about your sympathy with the "poor, courageous bishop..." Shirley he does not understand that bishops are instruments of God himself and thus divine in every action? That includes those that might seem criminal to the uneducated. That he would even question the thought processes of the ecclesiastical brotherhood when performing their duties is an anathema in our eyes, and most importantly the eyes of Christ ... (and the five top sock puppets of NCR).

It is unfortunate the harm caused to the Church and the Clergy and these bishops in particular. How could they know that sexual abuse of children was a bad thing? How could they understand "the awful reality of these crimes"? It's not like they have ever claimed to be experts on morality. Reading the quotes from this poor, courageous bishop, one cannot help but believe they are truly filled with the Holy Spirit. But I am confused about the reference to the papal structure. Surely they are not implicated the papacy in this scandal??

Unbelievable. The following quote appears - "This should give our public some idea of how hockey illiterate certain amongst us are." - a poster on this thread. Indeed, this should give some idea. I provided background on why Holland was not a career minor leaguer which is how he was characterized by the poster. All the background info I provided was true. He was traded. He was immediately inserted into the lineup as an NHL player, not a minor leaguer. And he has been in and out of the NHL lineup ever since. Contrary to this quote "Peter Holland no longer suits up anymore for Ari, which is pretty much what I said 2 months ago (sic).". Actually, he suited up on Feb 16 and previously on Feb 9th. So Holland can and does play at the NHL level. And no where did I say he was awesome...only that he is not a "career minor leaguer". This poster is plain wrong, yet again quoting incorrect facts and making misleading, biased, and superficial conclusions.

Typical for Air Canada in my experience.If I have a choice,I opt for Westjet for this very reason.

Yep, and don't pump treated drinking water into fire-hydrants (as per the story).
4
Maybe the solution is to bring in drinking water, and simply pipe in untreated water for laundry and other such purposes. It is uneconomic to operate a water treatment plant for a community of 300, when you need at least 2 (main and backup) qualified operators to keep monitoring the system.

Ever had the feeling of being used? This is exactly what is happening
4
In my opinion the harsh reality, which feel-good Canadians fail to absorb, is that for most of the third-world immigrants wishing to leave their countries, Canada is a consolation prize. They want to move to America (who knows why?) but will accept Canada at a stretch. They are not the patriotic "new canadians" the left dreams of. In my personal observations, Canada means nothing to them other than being a soft touch and the majority of them would leave for America tomorrow if they could.

RB, debt management is only part of a credit rating. Income is the other part and Eugene has a much larger tax rate than the county and has not had to deal with a 91% reduction in federal timber payments. The other parts included in credit rating is finacial management, internal controls, budget management and cost controls. Lane County has increased our credit rating at a time when we have had decreased income which is a significant accomplishment.
4
As this article clearly states, Eugene has a higher general obligation bond rating than Lane County, i.e. they are already doing better than the county at managing their debt. Of course, one should never let the facts stand in the way of political grandstanding and uninformed gripes.

I said "most Americans agree," not "all." If I don't believe my own words, I don't say them; and when I write them, I try to base my opinion on available facts. I do agree that opinion polls can be poorly constructed and may or may not reflect adequate sampling. But I've looked at respected polls for every item I listed, and the results are repeated and confirmed by more than one.
4
And yet, the only way this man was able to win was to carry groups said to oppose him, to "convert" enough of the "majority" you write of who don't agree, and to change slim margins in entire states from one party to the other. So tenuous and fleeting this "majority", so unclear the notion "minority". I'll suggest, Sid, the matters you characterize as "all Americans agree" have been spoken for by enough Americans as to throw them into doubt, as evidenced by a pariah being elected. Perhaps, a serious wake-up call for the party of history. You constructed a good list for all to look at and refresh where they stand. Even life-long Democrats changed because of the change of their party on these issues in the last few decades. As evidenced by... I'll suggest again, look again at this strange thing called "public opinion" and revisit its diverse meaning(s). Quit believing your own words, at least for brief moments. For clarity. For what you might learn. Or, continue angry for years to come.

Go look? Obviously you didn't go look at anything before you made up this garbage. Norway's sovereign wealth fund generated an annual return of 3.8 percent between 1998 and 2014. http://www.cnbc.com/2015/07/17/the-worlds-biggest-sovereign-wealth-funds.html?slide=11 They under performed Alaska by a very large degree. So far Norway has produced 29 billion barrels, more than double what Alaska has.
10
So go ahead and compare the Permanent Fund's investment returns against other sovereign wealth funds and you will find that the managers have managed the fund to enrich others. Norway started later than us, based on less oil than us, and their fund outperformed ours by a very large degree. Norway's example demonstrates our loss. Go look. Compare. Take any index you care to use. Our fund managers have consistently under-performed, and by that, I mean they worked to move money out of the fund. It's a criminal shame.

""Paul Conte" did a reply to my inquiry but it is now gone." -- motleycrew Alternate reality? My reply is right there for all who aren't delusional. SAD!
4
When someone replies on Civil Comments, the "Activity" button records that fact, even if the person replying changes their mind and deletes their reply. "Paul Conte" did a reply to my inquiry but it is now gone. Sometimes, the first few lines of their reply makes it through to your e-Mail, as well. That response is usually later than that recorded in "Activity". One of the many benefits of using your own name on Civil Comments.

It is going to be hard to tell the history of the 20th century. History, is alway - always a matter of selection and emphasis. What is so different about the 20th century is that so many of us bore witness to what happened that we know what's being left out and what point of view 'history' is being told from. jaltman81 - you just gave us a witness to ninth grade Mississippi History class (Fall 1973). I believe your witness is important. Keep a journal... not on computer because 50 years from now there probably won't be the software to read it. Pass that journal down to your grandkids so that someone -- will keep bearing witness. Peace and all good
4
Interestingly enough, though my Ninth Grade Mississippi History class (Fall 1973) left out a large amount of the history of our treatment of Black people, both during slavery and after, the story of "The Free State of Jones" WAS included. The movie and the the documentaries accompanying the film filled in some significant details.

Trump won't ban NBC, because it is the network with his worthless reality show.
4
Trump would be within his rights to decline an invitation from Rachel Maddow, but if NBC were barred from press conferences or gaggles it would be further evidence of Trump's contempt for the free press, which is one of the hallmarks of our democracy that, until now, distinguished the US from the world's dictatorships.

You share an Alaskan thought process viewed by many. It is not new. The community of Allakaket is in good hands.
4
Exactly- no charges. Yet you think we should have a pretty serious punishment like that on the whim of some group of elders, maybe not even an elected group, with no judicial oversight. There is certainly corruption and local politics, feuds, etc that go hand in hand with many villages, which could definitely make this practice corruptible. How can native and non native people alike say the Fairbanks Four, which did go through our flawed justice system, was such an injustice yet encourage this, which has no judicial protections, no innocence until proven guilty, etc. I am not going to argue the point further you either get it or you don't.

The Spanish conquered vast swaths of land in the western US, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America. They Christianized the Indians and mixed with them, and in the 1800's those mixed raced folks fought for their independence from Spain and formed Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Belize, Cuba, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Panama, Brazil, Costa Rica, Paraguay, Uruguay, Ecuador, and Venezuela. There are roughly 583 million indian/mixed Indian people in the americas, in comparison to a white (non-Latino) population of 190 million. The white population has been on a swift decline of over 10% per decade, leading me to believe that non-Latino whites will become a minority and mixed race indians will become the majority in the US by 2030. The term Latino does not accurately depict race, it's a term that depicts ethnicity of mostly mixed race indians from south of the US border.
4
I wonder how the Indians feel about the lands that the Spanish took from them to become Mexico. Do they have a Museum? I think it's a good idea that maybe now Mexico can open up their brand of Starbucks and some Mexican parts manufacturing plants and compete in the world markets and I would bet they would close their borders to outside workers and drugs. I just wonder who would do all of the manual labor in the lower 48, high school kids like in the old days, come on get real!

For Merkley and DeFazio this event was just another excuse for a red herring Anti-Trump, Anti-Republican rally. I very seriously doubt much of a word if any was spoken out to against Governor Browns plan to provide $$$millions$$$ in expanding free health care to unauthorized illegal aliens in Oregon. The ACA is a train wreck in the making in which some changes must occur as time is running out in which even Obama, his ACA architects and Insurance company's agree "some changes must occur ".

Why does the local NAACP president speak at a health care event? I didn't realize race had anything to do with socialized medicine. Why not have a black or other minority nurse or cancer patient speak if the organizers need to demonstrate inclusion? (I don't know the race of the speakers, so maybe they were minorities.)

I doubt he's a "cyclist". Cyclists are generally arrogant holily-than-thou type people who wear spandex, florescent green shirts, helmets, and toe-clips, and think the auto drivers should turn-over the streets to them.

I think the columnist makes a common-sense suggestion. Set up centres where it is safe to make a claim, check their backgrounds to ensure that they are not terrorists, of course, and then process them quickly according to our own criteria for taking refugees and immigrants, taking the ones who qualify and refusing the ones who don't.
