Agreed. Those areas are no longer suburban, they are swallowed by the urban area.
4
the use of the term "suburbs" is really misused in Canada these outer areas are built at an urban densities and to urban servicing standards (public water and sewer, curb and gutter), they even a few highrise condos thrown in for good measure how is a house on a 30 foot wide lot with a 20 foot deep rear yard and a three or four foot side yard suburban?, it seems the term "suburban" in Canada is simply applied to any new single family or townhouse development on the periphery of a metro area and not development at less than an urban standard

One not so bright after another Michael. 1st, only a liberal would think that government can not make the work environment so difficult that business cant function in it. 2nd, Your opinion that the other 41 states are doing fine is absolutely worthless as it is not based in reality.

Hockeypuck, you've been clamoring that you would be forced to sell your business and move out of state since you first heard state income tax. How you just couldn't make it on a couple hundred g's a year if Alaska passes an income tax. Funny how all those savvy business people seem to do just fine in those other 41 states with an income tax....

Let's let God be the judge of John Kennedy's soul, thank you very much. It's very easy to say these things now that he and his brothers aren't here to speak for him. And, as Papa Francesco has told us: "Who am I to judge?" Heartbreaker, you are just way too concerned about what was going on between John Kennedy's legs.

I disagree with your hypothesis that the introduction of tolls will spell an end to "the allure of a back yard and two car parking". The US has had toll roads for decades, yet this hasn't stopped people from pursuing a suburban lifestyle. As commutes get longer, some will make the trade-off between suburban home and urban-core condos... however, the fact that urban condos are typically less than 800 sqft means that once millennials start to have families, and subsequently find that they are tripping over themselves with the lack of space provided by urban condos, then they too will start searching for alternatives in the suburbs, because no developer is providing a sizable alternative in the urban core. Also, spare us the Saunders-style comparisons to Europe. Urban flats in Europe are built for families and typically are over 1000 sqft, with two or three bedrooms, to accommodate families. The typical North American shoebox condo does not provide a relevant comparison whatsoever.
4
The suburbs are better than they used to be in most cities, with entertainment and dining options that simply didn't exist in the 70s outside of fast food and the odd mini-putt or bowling alley. But to my way of thinking, unless they are well served by transit and in an established neighbourhood, the tradeoffs are mighty high. Savings are illusory; the costs of transportation and lost time in commutes quickly eat up the delta in purchase price in many cities. And if the good Professor's wish comes true -- an end to free parking and the addition of toll roads -- the suburban dream will quickly become an expensive nightmare. In a neighbourhood with a walk score of less than,say, 60, it is all but impossible to live without a private car, and if motorists are gouged every time they turn the key, the allure of a back yard and two car parking will quickly evaporate.

When will Trudeau apologize for his father being the only Prime Minister in Canadian history to invoke the War Measures Act (illegally as there was no apprehended insurrection according to Mitchell Sharpe in explaining the situation to the British) and having over 450 people thrown in jail will only about 60 were ever changed with an offence? The human rights of every Canadian were eliminated in one foul move by that egocentric power-hungry man.

400+ is just the number of those arrested. As I mentioned, usually only a small percentage of those involved in riots are arrested. For example, thousands rioted in Ferguson after the Michael Brown incident, but only a few hundred were actually arrested. So I think thousands is accurate. Yes I realize this is a story about a white supremacist who killed people. Of course I don't condone it. Neither does Trump. Nor does he endorse white supremacists.
10
Well, your links indicate some 400 plus were arrested, which is still far less than "thousands" but admittedly, much more than the few score I cited. We were both guilty of poor estimates. Still, millions have protested Trump since his inauguration and you should admit that is a tiny fraction of the protesters.And, there is violence against property and there is violence against individuals. Both are deplorable, but don't forget this article is about a White supremacist who attacked three men and killed two who were doing nothing more than the decent thing in protecting two young girls.Surely you don't condone that!

The details may matter, the neighbourhood group may have been in a take it or leave it position, ie 30k vs nothing. They are bit players, where was the TDSB, how in God's green earth could the OMB arbitrator think a 35 story 109 metre tower with basically no setback (ie overhanding the playground) next to a two story public school was a reasonable compromise. Doesn't sound like a compromise to a City asking for a lot less that were trying to uphold City planning rules around a high growth area. I'm just saying that if the focus is on the smaller stuff, those with the real power can dump on them to cover up their own questionable actions. The province needs to step in.
4
I'd like to see that neighbourhood association account for their actions in a more detailed way. $30,000 to buy support, or at least silence, on a major development is something that needs to be public

This showed up as a response to me- "I'm still trying to figure out how he went from praising the Tweet, to calling it boneheaded, to whining at all the people who considered it boneheaded in the first place. "Hey all you people who thought this was a dumb Tweet five minutes before I called it a dumb Tweet - you're all way too thin-skinned and sensitive!"" It is a dumb tweet-he referenced Japan/US history long ago which made sense as to why that reference but he never should have tweeted it.

I never said Frei should be fired. I just said it was a dumb Tweet that didn't make any sense - about 30 minutes before you admitted it was a boneheaded Tweet. Not sure how that makes me PC and overly sensitive while you're the ever-so-rational voice of reason, but I'm sure you'll get around to explaining it at some point.

Gail - Here you go....2018 budget with 5% reduction is $4.0 billion. Deduct $500 million in PFD elimination and we are down to $3.5 billion. Take 4% from the $50 billion Permanent Fund, or $2.0 billion. Use $1.5 billion from oil taxes, fees and royalties to balance the rest. Use the Constitutional Budget Reserve to balance in or out depending on the actual oil prices. Easy as pie!

kukuinunu, im with you. apparently hulu man has no integrity or compassion, like more and more people i meet lately. he also apparently knows nothing about poverty, kids or the real world, as it works in 2017. use eminent domain for the 40K low cost housing units we need for the working poor. 100% tax, assessed yearly for any unit not lived in at least 9 months each year, by the registered owner (no more trusts, llp's, llc'c, foundations and etc., owners). how about a 100% tax on any vehicle costing more that $50K and a decreasing tag fee starting at 100% of the value, diminishing 10% each year thereafter for five years, then remaining there. p.s. curtis, it has nothing to do with democrats, it has to do with the 1/10% of 1%.

There are many reasons why people in the 50's and upward do not have enough money to buy a house or a condo, or to pay market rents. Loss of a life partner to a costly illness, a crippling disease, just plain bad luck in life, and not everybody survives the weeding out process that high schools and colleges perform to separate those who might gain degrees and better jobs from those who do not do so well in school. What would you have done with those who have fallen by the wayside? Throw them in the ocean to sink or swim? Maybe these folks have a craft....perhaps they know how to run a sugar mill or irrigate cane fields. Some trades and skills pay next to nothing. I think what you are really saying is, "I made it, why cannot they do the same?" I hear this a lot from people who have more than enough.

@AGORACOM: "...and you're bitter on the outside looking in." It's statements like THAT which are why the label is applied. Some past buyers who've done well in real estate pretend the debate is between them and embittered basement dwellers who didn't invest. This is inaccurate. Many challenging the status quo - price growth as a product of policies encouraging real estate participation (i.e. government interference) - are young people who are being excluded by the run up. Yes, rates are low compared to other times in the past. Have you crunched the numbers on how much harder it is to amass a down payment now compared to other points in the last many decades? Real estate tax incentives, cheap access to debt, punitive "emergency" low rates that punish savers, and fixation on real estate as our key economic driver are wreaking havoc on the long-term viability of some communities, alienating essential skills and the future tax base. And they're told they're "entitled" or "bitter".
4
So your problem is with people who have actually invested in real estate? That makes them trolls? Or pumpers? Seems to me that makes them good investors ... and you're bitter on the outside looking in. If you continue to evaluate investments that way, you'll never win. Take your emotion out of it and be happy for those who decided to buy a home. They're not evil, they're just homeowners.

The enactment also amends the Criminal Code to extend the protection against hate propaganda set out in that Act to any section of the public that is distinguished by gender identity or expression and to clearly set out that evidence that an offence was motivated by bias, prejudice or hate based on gender identity or expression constitutes an aggravating circumstance that a court must take into consideration when it imposes a sentence."

It's the increase in tanker traffic that concerns me. Burnaby is the wrong place for the terminal. Why should tankers go 80 kilometres inland through a narrow passageway of heavily built up residential district?

"I'm stuck with Kathleen and no fan of Liberals but you folks had a good thing going and pist (sic) it away, congrats." I'm always impressed with opinions from afar. You'd actually have to live here in order to evaluate the "good thing going". AND you'd have to get out of the Lower Mainland (GVA) to see, hear and experience how things are in the rest of BC. As Vancouverites like to joke "There's no hope beyond Hope". Not only do I not live in the GVA, I also have this neat hobby that gets me out and about all over BC and Alberta. PS which year did they suspend spelling classes at Rochdale? I guess it must have been prior to '69, when I arrived in Canada. LOL

Congrats, you and your ilk have just ruined the last well run Provence other than Saskatchewan in Canada !!! Strong home value, low Provincial debt, lowest unemployment rate in Canada and a strong economic. Don't believe me show me one Provence that has prospered under the NDPee for more than one term !!! I'm stuck with Kathleen and no fan of Liberals but you folks had a good thing going and pist it away, congrats.

Also never mind in Ontario right now 9% make minimum wage and by far the largest cohort is in the hospitality sector. They make their wages off tips and a typical server gets only 45% from wages and 55% tips. Since there is a lower liquor server wage is $10.10/hour that means an average server makes $22.44/hour so if people stop tipping due to higher prices or reduce their tips from 18% to 10% they will be worse off. The minimum wage in Australia $17.70/hour, but people never tip in Australia so a server there would actually probably make less than in Canada. Otherwise this a blatant populist policy to try and shore up poor poll numbers, not based on economics.

Agreed, there is remarkably little correlation between poverty and working for minimum wage in Canada. Far and away most people living in poverty in this country are not employed at all. Among those that do work most have noted inconsistent work or insufficient hours as their main reason for low income. If someone right now is being paid $11.40/hour (current minimum wage) and 30 hours/week sees their hours cut back to 20 hours/week at $15/hour minimum wage they will be worse off.

Hey now, Chump responded. Don't you follow his tweets? "The violent attacks in Portland on Friday are unacceptable. The victims were standing up to hate and intolerance. Our prayers are w/ them." Note the use of plural "attacks" and the harshness of "unacceptable". Be mindful of "w/them". He probably took time out from dessert for that heartfelt response.
6
Too bad this wasn't front page immediately, but I do respect careful reporting as non-politicized as possible. The two dead heroes didn't politicize their response, one a liberal and one an office-seeking conservative. Thank the goodness of their humanity for standing up on that train for those young women. While the murderer was most certainly influenced and encouraged by the harsh rhetoric of his right-wing Facebook brethren and their sympathetic elected leaders, it takes a truly sick mind for him to plan and follow through with such carnage. He even practiced baiting people on the same train in the days before. It would have been a step forward for our president if he had personally responded to this horrific action with words of consolation for their families and a vow to seek justice for all the victims, living and dead.

It could be a good thing for Canada. I remember when the BC SoCred party decided to reject a motion to remove the "Christian Principles" sections of their Party "Who We Are" documents. A Jewish Party hopeful walked out of the Convention at that point. That policy booboo, and choosing Bill Vander Zalm as the leader, sealed BC SoCred's fate. Gone, but never forgotten. Who could forget a party that had an Official Women's Auxilliary, one that served up Resolutions such as the Pressing Need to Castrate Rapists. I can appreciate the sentiment, but that sort of talk from Political Parties sends chills up the spine of most Secular Canadians. Not that far removed from severing the hands of thieves.

More communications from the Harper divisive PMO. Andrew Scheer threw the first punch and is going to get licked after school. It's ridiculous for a Harper Tory to yell intolerance when the so-cons are not tolerant to the LGBT community and to women's right to be in charge of their own body. Lets face it Scheer is a place holder. With luck the party will smarten up by 2023 and elect Carolyn Mulrooney or some other smart women for leader. No wonder their best bet, Rona walked away. It's still a white man's party.

Most CBs aren't big enough to cover huge tight ends.
4
Bronco CB Chris Harris is not big enough to effectively defend against huge TEs that go deep over the middle. That is one of the chinks in the Broncos defensive armor. It is especially apparent when the other team is in the red zone and passes up top to a TE that is eight to ten inches taller than Harris and has a much bigger wingspan. This could factor into why he is rated lower than what his stats show.

Great piece! Well-written. Logical. And moral. But unfortunately, most bullies don't respond to prose, logic, or appeals to morality. Let's tally: stole the lunch money of the indigenous peoples on the mainland, wedgie-d most of West Africa and their descendants, and gave a great big toilet bowl swirlie to the whole Pacific. Some bullies grow up and regret their past actions. Others grow up to be workplace bullies and make it into an art form! We teach kids, "If you took something that didn't belong to you, you should give it back." Then we turn around and teach them, "only the fittest and strongest survive, strength furthers your genetic line over others." Can't have it both ways. Unfortunate, but I think you summed it up with, " strong military interests in this “island in the Pacific” make it unlikely that it will relinquish the islands any time soon, if ever."

Couldn't agree with you more. A tax revolt would bring this political circus to a screeching halt. The problem is a tax revolt would also be the trigger to civil war. The Minority subsides the Majority and if that were to suddenly stop, the Majority would turn on the Minority. The tax burden is not spread evenly enough across the population for the outcome of a revolt to be considered in the greater interest of the nation.

The ANC is dead. With all these emails and indisputable revelations, it is clear as daylight that the majority of the current NEC is compromised. The NEC has known about state capture for years. They knew about JZ and his criminal charges for years. There has to be a split. You can't wipe clean a glass bowl with a dirty rag. It is our mistake to believe in a different outcome each time the ANC meets. We are led by an idiocracy. The combined IQ of the NEC amounts to a number that JZ can pronounce. The solution has always been clear. The money has to dry up. We have to find a way to boycott tax in SA. The bright minds at OUTA, SAVE SA etc have to come up with a strategy to paralyse government where it matters.

The only way to reduce inequality is to reduce poverty...and so far the only system that has succeeded in doing that is the market system, unbridled by state interference and false political populism. Even Pangloss made the very good point that the 'garden of eden' needs industry, hard work and care.
4
Vegter's Panglossian ode to the wonders of unbridled free markets conveniently ignores the fact that the world's levels of inequality are rapidly increasing. The constant battle to reduce costs leads to lower wages for workers, which leads them to have less money to spend on necessities, which causes more and more pressure to reduce costs, which leads . . . . . A downward spiral that requires new thinking, and not more of the same old, same old boring free market versus socialism argument. I have no pat solution to offer, but have had enough of the current sterile binary discussion.

In 018, there will b another election. If the provincial Conservatives have any sense, they will put together the outline of a sensible policy platform that amounts to much more than merely the statement that theya re not the Liberals.

Our very democracy depends on the media than a growing establishment where a very tiny percentage owns the vast majority of wealth. Those who fear change greatest are those who we should fear most amid this so called fragile recovery that is lasting longer than the great depression.

You display an appalling lack of understanding of Christianity and the role of Jesus of Nazareth in fulfilling and completing the incomplete ancient scriptures. There are countless examples of Jesus teaching that the old ways of "the Law" were wrong and were superseded by his teachings. Christianity is by definition Jesus. You will never find Him exhorting his followers to engage in the violent extermination of non-believers, as you will find Muhammad doing in the Quran.

No problem at all. The current situation shows what CAN happen even with first-past-the-post. The comparison is illustrative of WILL happen with virtually every election under Proportional Representation. And don't fool yourself . . . if it is shown that minor parties can achieve power well above their weight in votes, minor parties will multiply. Imagine trying to achieve any level of acceptable governance by having to create agreements and coalitions amongst 5 or 6 minor parties, all of whom just like the Greens, put their political platforms and achieving power above the good of the province.

It strikes me that Nancy Pelosi is really concerned about principles... her's, that is... and doesn't give a crap about anyone else's principles. She's quite happy forcing someone else to violate their principles.

Millions of women of childbearing age work for religious organizations that object to paying for contraceptives? I would be very surprised if this rule actually impacts anywhere near a million women. Someone tell Nancy Pelosi this is only for religious organizations not already exempt. Churches were already exempt from coverage. I doubt LSOTP and similar organizations are such major employers of young women who believe Catholics should pay for contraceptives. No one is stopping anyone from buying or using contraceptives. If you are worried about the cost of that particular medication, don't go to work for a religious organization whose principles differ so much from your own. And I continue to be amazed that the Obama administration decided contraception must be free to the user while drugs necessary to maintain life, like insulin and Epipens, are not

A subject of investigation? Does that now mean the person is guilty or something? To me investigating means there is no proof and it could mean that person might have some information the could answer questions about someone or something else. "It is all now a matter of evidence". I thought it was always a matter of evidence. Are you suggesting all these entities know who the guilty party is, they just don't have any evidence yet? I am not sure things should work that way. Innocent until PROVEN guilty.

Nobody cares about the dead junkie, Christopher Hitchens. One month ago, Boris Epshteyn was an 'alt-left' media meme... Yesterday, he was named the subject of an investigation. House and Senate leaders and the Intelligence community already know what is happening. It is all now a matter of evidence. A done deal, finished, caput. The best thing you can do now is help in cleaning up this mess you made, or at the very least stay out of the way..!!

If a pipeline from Alberta to the Pacific is not being built or completed by the time of the next Alberta and federal elections, the country will start coming apart. There still is a deep hatred in Alberta for federal politicians. Well maintained signs expressing this thought have stood alongside Alberta highways for years.

The C & C, takes on too many high end projects, can't maintain its neglected infrastructure, can't plan a successful budget, has a constantly growing deficit, loves to raise taxes, loves to give highrise building variances, loves to infuriate an ever growing voter base, etc... One day, there may very well be, a voters rebellion. Everyone will vote, for the unknown & underdog candidate, as an act of voter rebellion. It couldn't get any worse. As their first political act, they could pass a balanced budget, pay off the government debts, generate more monies without taxation, temporarily stop adding more projects, maybe have a RAIL station inside City Hall, etc...

Trump is a symptom of a problem, not the cause. If you really want to fix our social problems, I suggest you look at the bigger cause. We as Americans look down our noses at everyone, including each other. It's not about working together or trying to get along, its about winning and making others conform to our way of thinking. We no longer negotiate, instead we go all in for every stupid little thing. We don't argue/debate the facts/opinions of a subject, we instead look to discredit our opponent as a person or downplay their opinions merit. We as a people are sick and as long as we blame "the other guy" we won't get any better. . FYI, your "handle" and ones like it do absolutely nothing towards solving any problem. If it does anything, it contributes to the division. It reinforces the alienation of right leaning moderates that might not find everything Trump does as evil. Most of you seem pretty intelligent so my operating theory is that you already know this.

Obviously you are against labor. I understand. Businesses have a natural desire to reduce costs and what better way than keep labor's wages down. But this country would not be where it is today without the contributions from labor and Unions. If you are so against Unions, perhaps you should move to China. I understand labor is not coddled their. And what is your evidence that a shopping mall is avoiding taxes? And what house isn't luxury when the alternative is homelessness. What is your solution to the high cost of housing? Anything? come on what would you do to reduce the cost of housing? Wave a magic wand and everyone will work for 2 bucks an hour? Good luck with that.

Ending rail by removing it incurs tremendous costs of not solving traffic congestion and housing covering all available land - urban sprawl. Another cost is the cost of removing existing construction. We have to think of rail as an investment in the future. Another good investment is on kids in poverty who never receive adequate early education. They do very poorly in school and in life if they miss the important developmental tasks in their early years. For them it's a basic need. And for us it's an investment in their futures that they cannot afford. Studies show that even at ages 27 and 40 they lose out and are on the bottom of the heap. One dollar spent on the program returns over $7.
4
Given a choice between a known and fixed cost of cancelling HART's blunder @ $3 Billion, or an unknown and unknowable cost of continuing the rail through what would be the most expensive section to Ala Moana Center should be simple. Would it be better to put one or two more generations of Oahu taxpayers in debt to pay off and end this debacle, or to put unknown number of future generations to pay, perhaps in perpetuity for this train to penury? The choice should be obvious. But I repeat myself.

Not everyone is on a spiritual journey to God, some people are on the road to Hell. (Of course as long as one draws breath one can make a U-turn).
10
The 'institutional' church of any religion is just that--an institution. It provides traditions to give folks a 'map' to navigate through the chaos of life. We are all on a spiritual journey to union with God, the Great 'I AM'. Each of us follow our own course (highway, country road, bike trail, hiking, riding a train, etc..) You find great comfort and security in the orthodox teachings of the RCC. I, too, am a cradle Roman Catholic but I find great comfort and security along the mystical/contemplative road of the RCC. It is an ancient path with a deep and lasting spiritual tradition. The four criteria that Tom listed are the guideposts, the mile markers for we who are journeying along the contemplative path. We are no less nor more ''catholic'' than another. The only truth we need to justify is being true to the Great 'I AM' that we encounter along our journey.

You mean the "Islamists extremists" that are so into their religion that they are drunk at strip clubs the night before blowing themselves up (like the 9/11 bombers) or smoke pot and drink beer everyday (like the recent Manchester attacker)?

Ok, so tell me what's changed in the modern world that teenage girls didn't face before? School? Relationships? Social pressures? Or maybe it's responsibility? We definitely tend to back off on when our children should grow up. Used to be by the time you were 18, you were expected to be able to perform like an adult (at least this was true mostly in my time). Today, children still living at home at 25 is not uncommon. I think we're doing our children a disservice by trying to remove all of life's hardships.

I have no idea what Trump supporters are. Those who aren't Trumpists themselves may merely be credulous to a self-defeating fault. I have spoken with quite a few who inexplicably thought Trump would progress things in this country. Perhaps they're just terrible judges of character. Are they surprised to watch Trump nihilistically tear down a century of progress, upset, or in a state of denial? Who knows. I'm not sure they're even willing to give themselves an honest answer, much less provide one to someone who starts on the true left for progress. After all, in simplistic football game mentality, those who aren't on your team are always The Enemy. Too bad this is a recipe for social division and enslavement to feudalistic thinking and politics. To Enlightenment thinkers, that's somewhere in the rear view mirror. We're not going to live in nor give any quarter to some new American dark age nor its proponents.

"Yet, the United States currently pays only 22 percent of direct NATO spending, with Canada and European allies providing the remaining 78 percent. NATO’s direct cost-sharing arrangement is based on relative GDP among member nations, except in the case of the United States, which actually pays a discounted percent compared to every other NATO ally: U.S. GDP is just under half of the total GDP for all NATO members" http://foreignpolicy.com/2016/04/07/donald-trump-doesnt-understand-the-value-of-u-s-bases-overseas/

Right. Perceived moral bankruptcy is better. Perceived, for example, by leftists like me. Still, I feel more at home with my bunch than with those who sing America the Brave.
4
Or do you mean the perceived moral bankruptcy. Perhaps you'd like you look up a concept studied by sociologists and philosophers called "moral relativism." Western cultures are not morally bankrupt, Ambrose. And the invasion of Iraq by 2 countries under false pretenses perpetrated by a tiny cabal of powerful liars does not really incriminate western morality. But indeed, western morality is schismatic to some of these radicals who view the freedoms women enjoy in the west as anathema to their culture. Women dressing freely, in form-fitting clothing, walking without male company, mingling with men.... these are moral violations in their eyes, but hallmarks of freedom in first world countries. I'd bet my money that no one in Mr. Abedi's life, or the lives of other terrorists grew up in homes where the women wore form-fitting or revealing clothing and walked without male company or mingled with other men without the permission of a male relative. That is moral bankruptcy.

I would say it's not so much "faulty science" as it is just a bad, stupid deal made unilaterally by 0bama. It would have achieved nothing with respect to reducing emissions on a global scale and it would have been devastating to our economy. I see a lot of emotional reaction from the left on this subject.

No the German Nazi party was not radical far right ideological extremists.

Naziism and Communism have ALL the same key elements total state control, total state identity of what is and is not allowed socially, total state control of the economy(communism through owning the factories, naziism through telling them what and how they will make what's in the factories), rigid adherence to ideology over facts, purges of the ideologically impure.

Really? Those are the only "possibilities" to you?...there's not, like, an option that goes a little something like this: "President Trump isn't legally required to, and it's none of your business?" Or, "If President Trump is suspected of something illegal on his taxes, then the IRS can investigate; and since the Obama IRS didn't investigate him after he submitted his taxes, there's a very good likelihood there's absolutely nothing evil going on, whatsoever." . Those two possibilities never entered the picture for you, huh?

I can't stand BC... as Pierre Berton said, no other province has been blessed with the most, but done the least. When you do actually leave, I'd say "don't let the door hit you on the back", but then I'd be lying. So just get lost!

In case you haven't recognised it, the country has been coming apart for decades. "Canada" is not a value that many BCers support, so the more and the quicker that Canada falls apart, the better the outcome for BCers that wish for an independent BC.

3.7% is projected growth for 2017. The projection isn't worth the hot air it took to utter it. Reality is the figures I cited. The US grew faster in the latest quarter for which there are figures. Try living in the real world.

TAPS throughput is on track to be up for the third year in a row. By a few percent each year. That's significant after decades of steady decline. http://www.alyeska-pipe.com/TAPS/PipelineOperations/Throughput

About every three months we get these optimistic reports of all of this new activity 'just on the horizon'. OK. So what does that translate to in oil in the pipeline? And more importantly, what does it mean for revenue to the State?

The National and provincial governments of Canada as well, as the UN and 69 other nations, allow it to have a budget of almost $17 million. Eisenhower wisely warned of this. "Give me the answers I want and you get the goods, nice place you've got here it would be a shame..." Just because it is funded by governments and the UN does not make it legitimate, of course. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Institute_for_Sustainable_Development

The sad thing is DPS and APS have some of the HIGHEST per pupil funding rates in the state NOT the lowest. In otherwords not only are they not doing as well per dollar of funding they are doing SUBSTANTIALLY WORSE with MORE FUNDING.

True enough, Dickie. I probably wrote too soon when I said the last....... Cuckoo’s Nest, Apocalypse Now, Deer Hunter and Taxi Driver all come to mind. Chinatown and most of Woody Allen’s stuff were memorable flicks too. But it was also the dawn of the big budget stinker. Star Wars and Jaws, as you point out, and Close Encounters or Superman…….none of them was particularly awful in terms of pure entertainment, but there was no attempt at all to transcend the mundane. Most of my moviegoing these days (at least, when my son doesn't pick) is confined to the rep/foreign cinemas in my town.

There were plenty of great films that came out of the major studios in the 70s after the Godfather. The 70s was a golden age for serious film making. It was the last time period where many directors had a lot of power and "auteur" status. Hertz must be aware of that but didn't mention it for some reason. As has been written about exhaustively by others, Jaws and then Star Wars predicated the 80s blockbuster era and the end of the auteur era.

I wonder if Birdsie is still counting shots and the time of possession this morning? If hindsight tells us anything: the final score last night was 4-1 (almost 5) for the Pens. A two game lead, especially when the other team can't contain you looks very good while the other team doesn't look good at all, even if they have PK in their lineup. But, it ain't over until it's is over, and stuff always happens, -- anyway Pens are looking good to repeat right now. Perhaps the real Stanley Cup final for the Pens was against the Sens?

Good point, without the name-calling, which turns off those who support Trump, but your point is well taken.
4
I was thinking the same thing. I watched CNN this morning and it was a non-stop program on impeaching Trump. I'm not a supporter of Trump, who I think is a A-hole, but I also think the media has gone off the deep end. Probably using the freedom of speech as their excuse, they allow and participate in a lynching of the president before any charges, much less facts, of a crime have ever been presented.

Adapt to change if and when it happens. We can't control the sun's sunspot activity or our elliptical orbit around it, which are the primary causes of climate change. CO2 has virtually nothing to do with it, isn't a pollutant, and we need more of it. http://freedom-articles.toolsforfreedom.com/scientists-refute-manmade-global-warming/

You folks who want the US to withdraw - what are your plans, if any, to deal with manmade climate change? Rejecting the science isn't an answer.
