The magic of macroeconomics supporting our current economy- internationally even- but the dissonance with microeconomics is driving many to personal distraction. There are two separate competing processes at work here- often at cross purposes - and that is where I believe the crux of the problem lies. Reconcile those better and we can all prosper, fail in that and all but a lucky few will suffer. And right now is it not the 0.01% controlling 50% of the world's wealth? What kind of dynamic does that produce?

Spending borrowed money has propped up the economy since the crisis, exactly as the low interest rate policy was supposed to do. Consequently, a good portion of the apparent affluence around us today is false. Many houses, cars, renos, and vacations haven't actually been paid for yet and might not ever be paid off after the next crisis. That's when we'll see who really has wealth and who has been pretending, fooling everyone, sometimes even themselves. I'm with you Rob in saying that higher interest rates will fix a lot of what's wrong. I can hardly wait.

That's nice - you grudgingly grant permission as long as we sell those resources to you. How sweet. Actually, we demand to be able to sell it to whomever we want. The same way you Eastern Canadians sell your subsidized branch plant autos and maple syrup bon-bons autos wherever you want to.

No fan of pipelines but this still strikes me as irredeemably short-sighted. Here in Eastern Canada (and in fact all over the country) w still need gas to live our normal lives. Alberta has gas and wants to be able to send it east and west. There is no logic in our buying it elsewhere when we have it within our own borders (until a gas-free solution is found).

So true Teleology, everything doesn't need to be in Toronto.

The Orillia location reflects the fact that the OPP polices the province and are the source of policing for much of small town Ontario. Their footprint in the GTA is small (since regions/municipalities have their own forces) and primarily limited to highway patrol. And Toronto Police Services is right in the core of downtown Toronto but no one is keeping an eye on them. Geography isn't the determinant, laws, regulations and monitoring is.

Hopefully Elway learned a lesson about drafting a QB with a wonderlic score that would be embarrassing for a fourth grader.

You cannot be serious?! "How is NK any different than the US?" 1) NK is currently in violation of numerous UN sanctions and resolutions as well as international law which forbids taking political prisoners and placing them in forced-labor camps where they are overworked, not paid, beaten, raped, starved, denied medical care and forced to have abortions. 2) NK denies human rights by not allowing freedom of movement, speech, press, assembly, and religion. 3) The internet is vital to communication, but only a few important members of Kim's ruling clique are permitted access. 4) NKs are forced to worship the Kim dynasty. If NKs are even suspected of possibly not clapping hard enough for Kim, they, and all of their relatives can be sent to the labor camps. 5) Propaganda is constantly blaring and absolutely no criticism of the regime is permitted. NK is the most oppressive Orwellian, totalitarian state in world history. The NYT and "The New Yorker" have posted good articles re: NK.

How is North Korea any different than the US? BTW, the "love it or leave it" harangue was a nice retro touch.

alphmale Speaking of syncophants

You can disregard two-thirds the comments that follow any article on Trudeau. They come from sycophants to the right or left. One ridiculous comment - since removed - came from a poster who branded Trudeau a dictator who wanted to take over the country. Do these people think we have no memory - that we've totally forgotten the Harper's disdain for democracy and contempt for the rule of law? Warts and all, the present government is superior to the one it replaced. Mind you, that's damning with faint praise given the moral bankruptcy of the former. Being marginally better than Harper is not the aspiration or standard Canadians had expected of Trudeau. Most expected much more. And against that measure, I think we have every reason to be disappointed. Some missteps can be put down to well intentioned naivety. Not so the small business assault, tax avoidance, conflict of interest controversies that smack of arrogance and hypocrisy. They amount to a poke in the eye of the electorate.

agree..none of the current candidates are the least bit interesting.

Rep. Isaac Choy would make a much better candidate than any person mentioned in the last week. He is well qualified with 10 years in the legislature when he finishes this term. He is a Certified Public Accountant, former chair of the Hawaii Tax Review Commission, little league coach, Malama O'Manoa long time volunteer, PTSA Treasurer for Noelani, and past president of the Hawaii Association of Public Accountants. Hawaii does not need rookies with no experience in real life. Choy will understand the problems of local people who have to work for a living or run a small business. His understanding of the federal and state tax laws will be crucial for Hawaii as major changes are made in Congress in the next few years. Most importantly, Isaac Choy can and will talk to people of all walks of life and political parties to make practical and down to earth decisions that will benefit Hawaii residents. That is something lacking now by our current delegation.

Drew Brees and the Saint put up how many points on Sunday? And Drew Brees isn't running the zone read. Carson Wentz can actually read a defense and has blocking, two things we don't have. Lynch can run a zone read just fine, but if he can't read the defense, then so much for that.

I think Carson Wentz showed us on Sunday where the NFL is headed - QB's who can run a read option offense. They make good decisions, they're mobile, and they can throw dimes either on the run or standing in the pocket. That doesn't describe Eli.

Of course it's not career criminals or gangbangers who are committing these mass shootings is it John? Try and keep up.

Not as simplistic as thinking criminals will suddenly start obeying a law.

NFP is not a burden on women. It is a tool to be used by the woman and MAN. NFP babies are a result of only one of two things. Poor observation (because it is very scientific), or more likely, lack of self control (but it's easier to blame NFP). Regardless of why there is a failure in the NFP process, the child is still a gift from God. I don't really care if a child was "wanted" or not. That is such a trivial matter. I didn't "want" half the food my mother put in front of me, but I am sure blessed to have received it. Have people forgotten what sex is? Lets keep in mind that most statistical failures of NFP are a result of a broad definition. The medical community classifies any sex without contraceptives as NFP. When appropriately measured, NFP has an incredibly low failure rate. (equal to or better than most efficient contraceptives)

Agreed. I have seen many NFP babies. Women are not machines with precise and predictable biological functions. It does not take much to throw the system off, and the signals are often not clear. Even in the most conscientious users, mistakes happen or the body does not respond as expected. It's great for those for whom it works well, but in my experience, that is probably a minority.

Uhh, did you see what was going on in the cell? I sure didn't. I did see a lot of laughing and joking going on with supervisors in the hall though. I also saw nurses that didn't seem to know what to do. One was checking for a pulse/heartbeat while the deputy continued chest compressions. Again, Uh, you can't do that, you will get a false reading.

I saw no violent restraint to the point of death. The guy choked on his vomit and the family pulled the plug.

Its not the NRA members its the NRA's blocking sensible legislation because it will limit gun sales. and as Rachel Maddow said last night:If the president did believe that the mental health of the killer was the issue here, then somebody should probably ask the president why one of the very first things he signed as president – the first meaningful thing he signed as president – was a change in regulation specifically and only to make it easier for people who’ve been adjudicated mentally ill to obtain firearms. If the president believes that there’s no gun problem here – the only issue here is a mentally ill person obtaining and then misusing a gun – well, this president took overt action as soon as he became president to make it easier for mentally ill people to get guns.

How many NRA members have been perpetrators of mass shootings?

My university decades ago had a "Marxist-Leninist Alliance" which used the same tactics and their own specialized terms. They recognized that the Soviet Union was not the utopia they espoused but were willing to try again. Today's crop, who hijack each other's agendas in the name of superior grievance like the failed revolutions of old, don't inspire hope.

It's sad. In the liberating, world-changing 1960's, the young went to university more for diversity of opinions, learning about the "other", and willingness to debate, than for the job at the end of the rainbow. In 2017, the era of "diversity", expensive universities, like all Canada's other institutions, have become increasingly elitist and discouraging debate. Diversity is cultural and social but doesn't include diversity of economic or political opinions. It's all about the corporate job at the end of the rainbow, with a huge debt load to increase the silent disengagement. Who profits from this authoritarian shut down of free speech? That's right. You got it.

My thoughts exactly when I read VJ's comments. He needs to stop trying to make these players "feel good" with his words and start making them play good with his actions: bench the turds; cut the malcontents. And tell a player he's not playing well! If you tell the player in practice that he's outstanding and a world-beater, and he goes into the game with no skills, just false praise, and takes a beat-down by some guy who was actually coached, how's he going to feel after that? And then the next week? And then the next month with a bunch of "L's" next to the schedule? Before you know it, you're living Cleveland-style...

I think my definition of "a fine job" differs just a tad from VJ's...

I agree with you completely. I too see Pope Francis working hard to modernize radical power-seeking political Catholics, Protestants and other such religions so they can do what they were really meant to do which is to be inclusive of all human beings no matter what their differences are. No two people are alike even to the point of their fingerprints and even voiceprints. The creator created all of us the way we are. That is why I am a Unitarian Universalist. Our congregations include every religion and non-religion under he sun. We celebrate all human beings and their right to worship or not, any way they wish. It makes for very interesting encounters and opportunity for learning about other cultures, beliefs and philosophies, etc. It is a very culturally rich and enjoyable environment. That is what religion should be where we all love and try to help one another if we can.

Thank you Liliane. They have "hung their hats" for teachings, rules, dictates, upon literal interpretations, selective use, and arcane interpretations. They have "elevated" good myth stories, beautiful poetry, metaphors, analogies to generalizations to fit their presumptions and institutional self-interest. For all his failings and blind spots, Pope Francis is inviting us to revive the wonder, the responsibility the joy of being humans and humans redeemed.

Universal background checks would not violate the Bill of Rights. The Second Amendment is not ABSOLUTE. It, like all of the Rights guaranteed by the Constitution, can be limited....and, as a matter of fact, is already limited...fully automatich weapons, for example, do require a special background check, vetting and a special license. While it wouldn't be particularly popular with the NRA, it might be possible to require licensing for all firearms, not just fully automatic. regards, Gary Crum

Gee, I guess we could have "sensible gun-safety measures", such as universal background checks and licensing requirements. If we could only get rid of that darned Bill of Rights.........

Can't you comprehend? The point is your statistics mean nothing to victims. Told you more than once. Give your statistics to the victims and see if they care. Now stop yapping and following me.

So what's your point? That's a rhetorical questions BTW. Hawaii is still pretty safe compared to the country as a whole. It's has one of the lowest murder rates in the country as well as a low violent crime rate. I guess until there's zero crime you'll always have something to yap about.

I know, but apparently you don't, that the National Guard and the State Guard are separate organizations. 10 USC 311 defines the Organized Militia of the US as the National Guard, and the Unorganized Militia as all able bodied males (17-45) not members of the National Guard. 22 States have a Self Defense Force/State Guard under the Governor and regulated by State Laws as the organized part of their Unorganized Militia. State Guards are typically open to ages 17-65, and try to keep a cadre force available for call-up, who can then recruit and train additional Guardsmen in the event of an emergency. State Guard forces are typically organized to respond to natural disasters, with a backup military mission. The State Guard Association of the US (SGAUS) web site tells more. https://sgaus.org/

Nice try. You and I both know that the state national guards are not the same as this mythical national “militia,” of which most males are allegedly members.

My wife and I used to live in Denver. We moved to SF (nowhere NEAR as dense as NYC) last year and sold both cars. Happy as clams.

That doesn't work well, unless you get SO dense that you become the next Manhattan. And I sure don't want that for the Denver area. And even using NYC as an extreme example, Manhattan (where transit and walking work well) is still only a small slice of the greater metro area, where cars and roads are still badly needed because people need to get around within those areas too. Not everyone goes to/from downtown, or to/from the airport. In fact most don't.

Publicbraddah, Go read what Chancellor Hitler did. To make sure that the Opposition Political Parties could not be Armed like Chancellor Hitler's National Socialist German Worker's Party a Political Labor Union Party. Chancellor Hitler had the German Government Doctors Rule that All Jews, Russians, Dissidents, Subversives, were mentally incompetent. Same as the Obama U.S. Law "Anybody stating a "radical" change to (U.S.) Government is a Homegrown Domestic Terrorist", the Thought is the Felony Crime, not only the Illegal Action. Irony, 1950 the Defeated Democratic Party used the model of Chancellor Hitler National Socialist German Worker's Party a Political Labor Union Party to Reform the Democratic Party into today's Demoncratic Party, This is why the Italian Organized Crime Families Owned U.S. Labor Unions, that also had been Reformed using the Model of the NAZI Party, became Allies with the Demoncratic Party, both having the same background and common model.

America has the most guns of any country in the world....easily. Don't politicize the issue. Common sense tells us that denying access to guns to the mentally ill and terrorists will go a long way in keeping mass murders from happening. Read this article....https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/07/world/americas/mass-shootings-us-international.html. It's all about denying gun access to crazy people, not normal law abiding citizens.

a) In that case you're incorrect. Not everyone would agree the practice must stop. Belonging to a religion is VOLUNTARY. So if a coloured member of the congregation is willing to follow the religion's rules, so be it. Who are you to tell him that he can't? b) We live in the West. And the benefits of doing so are so profound that inevitably younger generations of immigrants adopt our ways. However, an additional benefit of living in the West is that no one is forced to conform to anything other than the law. If a religious group wishes to maintain their traditional way of life they're free to do so. And many, such as the Amish, do just that.

a) By zero debate, I mean, everyone would agree that the practice would have to stop. For some reason, all cultures seem to agree that women deserve less freedom. Sadly, that is the unifying feature of most cultures. b) The pressures, generation after generation, are profound. "Seeking another religion" is a Western perspective and not all cultures take the same approach.

An unborn child or a born 22 week old can't survive without help., so the point is moot. Not sure what Breightbart is, but no singular news any opinion. Cable News is strictly for entertainment purposes only, it's about as real as professional wrestling.

Sure there is a big difference between a spontaneous abortion and a planned abortion. However my point is that some RCC Bishops are attempting to make their own rules about what is a spontaneous abortion and attempting to refuse a D & C until the Bishop is convinced it is a "miscarriage." This is dangerous. This is the call of a gynecologist and not that of an untrained bishop. The next point is that a fetus is not a baby. I know in common colloquialism many people call their unborn fetus's babies. A fetus can not survive on its own until around 22 weeks gestation and in a very good neonatal ICU. Few if any non University Catholic Hospitals have such good ICU's. Once again the RCC does not do it share in supporting the born child in common society as it supports corporate greedy donors over struggling children. You sir are using fake facts or factoids. There is a problem in all large corporate news sources because they slant the news. No one is worse than Fox and Breightbart.

It is mandatory by law in nearly every, if not every, state of the USA to shoot any dog on sight that is seen harassing wildlife. This is why feral dog-packs are a rarity in most areas. They are SHOT before things get that bad. I keep a paintball-gun loaded with red-pellets for any stray dogs. Stings enough to teach a teachable dog, and leaves a nice signal on their coat. The first time they get the paintball gun (and MAYBE a 2nd time too if they seem to be a well-mannered dog). If that doesn't teach the owner and alert them to what could have REALLY happened to their dog, then sadly nobody is learning anything -- so out comes the rifle next time their dog is seen chasing wildlife. Cats aren't so easily forgiven, because from past experience I know that warning a cat-licker makes absolutely no difference whatsoever (as anyone knows who has ever tried to deal with any of them, look at this very discussion as proof of what I say).

When Rick was a biologist, it sure seemed that he reveled in killing stuff, especially other people's loose dogs. I know two people personally that had their dogs shot by Rick. Sounds like he is longing for the good ole days of being paid to satisfy his bloodlust. Now he wants to be the great cat hunter of Anchorage. And get paid to go around and shoot kitties. Rick never changes.

Try clearly laying out your own reasoning, instead of simply making unsupported assertions and then telling others who did lay out their reasoning in response to "think about it." How exactly would you "tighten up" the process? What "additional vetting", via what exact mechanism, would account for records which were not placed into the the database designed to receive them, nor, apparently, even centralized in any format within the reporting agency? Not platitudes, not sweeping generalizations, concrete suggestions that can be assessed for practicality.

The only obligation I care about is my obligation to protect myself and my family from nut jobs such as this. I don’t need a lecture from you. And as far as I know, bomb making materials such as pressure cookers, nails, ball-bearings, and fertilizer is still quite available.

LOL, by the facts... clearly no one is impeding your "rights". Now, how about addressing your "obligation" as a citizen... this weaponry is specifically designed to wreak the same violence as a bomb. Yet we as a society try and control access to bomb making materials.

Really, would it not be more accurate to say it goes back to the beginning of taxation. However, if it's actually the case that Conservatives want to ensure that the rich pay their fair share, then they should be working on that, rather than acting as if tax avoidance was an exclusively Liberal activity, which is extremely implausible.

That's too funny. Really. As coverage in today's Toronto Star illustrates, the skewing of the taxation system toward serving the interests of the truly wealthy has been going on for more than a generation, covering both Lib and Con regimes. Actually, I think it fair to argue that it goes back to the regime of Trudeau I, whose government's tax reforms in many respects favored the rich.

"...then by eternal lorezapam" ? It's hard to take you seriously when you don't even know the difference between then & than. Regarding controlling the masses, it is the Christian faith that is resisting the current chaos, and is indeed being salt & light. If religion is the opiate, then liberal neo-Marxism is the methamphetamine causing this madness. Furthermore, Payette incorrectly asserts a gulf between faith and science. My family is an evangelical family. We all have university degrees; one of my daughters holds a PhD in neurobiology.

Maybe because she is raised on academical pursuits like science. I had thought creationism had been scientifically debunked? I do see religion having a useful purpose as Nietzsche stated it is the opium of the masses and what better way to control the crowd then by ethereal lorezapam.

Sadly, with Indian Reservations, the liquor stores just off the reservation make fortunes because of the same dynamic you have sited, respectfully WASHINGTON RESERVE. Guess who owns those liquor stores? It's sad Cuban cigars made fortunes because of an embargo. New York fortunes are being made off illegal tobacco coming in by the pallets because of high taxation. It's like the government or entities I mentioned above, creating their own massive profitable business off vices being one of the following: over-regulated by government, banned in select locales, or just simply over-taxed! Don't think the government doesn't love it, they do as much as the criminals they empower on vices! LOL! Take sports betting for instance, another vice illegal in 48 states, legal in two. Who's making money off the biggest draw of revenue in all of gambling in those 48 states? The greed of the politician concerning the government regulation of vices, it's making some good and some unsavory people wealthy!

Opening a "quick-mart" just outside city limits. Going to get rich, Rich, Rich. Liberals are the best!

I'm trying to unpack this statement because I don't understand what it means. "the American People calling for the Full Auditing of the FED" -- to whom does "the American People" refer in this statement? I'm sure there are at least a few, but I'm unaware of this being a popular issue. Perhaps "some of the American people" would be more accurate. Additionally, not being an accountant, I don't know what "Full Auditing of the FED" might mean. It's pretty clear that FED refers to the Federal Reserve Bank and is not an acronym, although its appearance in all capital letters might lead one to think so. But what would "Full Auditing" entail? More specificity please. https://www.federalreserve.gov/ gives some idea of the institution's complexity. I give considerable credit to Dr. Yellen and especially Dr. Bernanke for rescuing and supporting the American economy after the horrendous financial crash of 2008 -- brought on by a host of insufficiently regulated private institutions.

They don't deserve those awards until they advocate alongside the American People calling for the Full Auditing of the FED!

When I was deployed in Afghanistan, I was issued a 9mm that I carried to and from work. I always kept a fully loaded clip but I never chambered a round... Every work day, I would check my weapon in at command post for safe keeping because I didn’t need it strapped on me while doing my job and it was also recommended... For three months, I never removed my weapon from its holster until it was time to return it to the armory... The first thing you do to return the weapon is to clear it in front of an armory personnel... I was very surprised when a round popped out when I cleared the weapon... Someone had chambered it without my knowledge and who knows what might have happened if I decided to “play” with it... After that incident, I always cleared my personal weapons before doing anything even if I kept them in my vault... And yes, I lived in Texas for many years...

If an accident, and especially if it involved a long gun, it may even have been a case of peering down the barrel after a hang-fire, only to have the round go off a second later. There is at least one very clear YouTube video of a near fatality due to this. Again, if an accident, it reinforces the strict rule to always check if a gun is unloaded no matter who hands it to you - even if it was Jesus Christ himself. One can never tell how closely the wings of the Angel of Death will flutter by you. There is a true story involving a customer in a gun shop inspecting a used deer rifle before purchase. He shouldered the 30-06 and looked through its telescopic sight at an open-air market across the street, just by chance settling the crosshairs on a man handling produce. "Man, I could put one right in that guy's ear!" he said to the store clerk standing across the counter. Then he worked the bolt to cock the action thinking to try the trigger pull - and ejected live soft-point round.

Theo Magyar your using a genetic deformity to justify your statement. Although hermaphrodites may display both female and male genitals, they still are either female or male. Either none but sometimes ONE sexual organ will be functional. They are either still male or female with an extra appendage. Just like having an extra thumb. What you said is the same as saying Cancer is normal since people get cancer, the truth is hermaphrodites and cancer are diseases not modes of justifying there are more then two sexes, your comment may be degrading people suffering from this disease.

Please look up androgen insensitivity syndrome. Or intersexed people. Or folks born wth XXY..... Biological sex is a continuum - not a binary. Gender is a social construct

You are free to draw any conclusions you wish from the facts I've posted. I'm unaware of the models the US uses to define, categorize or codify their statistics regrading gun or gun related violence.

So what you're saying T, is that Canadian gun-related crime stats are artificially inflated relative to those of other countries. But then, even with this artificial inflation, US gun-related crime stats are still higher, like, orders of magnitude higher. That's your point, right?

The GG did not insult religious Canadians as a group. She criticized, and arguably insulted, a small group who persist in holding ludicrous beliefs in the face of overwhelming proof to the contrary.

This is almost as offensive as seeing Trudeau crossing himself at a Remembrance ceremony. After insulting religious Canadians, and without any apology, both she and he should not be displaying any outward support for religion. Or are they hypocrites? Oh right, I forgot, they're Liberals.

How about this from a Lutheran minister at The Federalist? "For those with little understanding of and less regard for the Christian faith, there may be no greater image of prayer’s futility than Christians being gunned down mid-supplication. But for those familiar with the Bible’s promises concerning prayer and violence, nothing could be further from the truth. When those saints of First Baptist Church were murdered yesterday, God wasn’t ignoring their prayers. He was answering them." ___well, okie dokie. He goes on to talk about what it means to ask God to “deliver us from evil” in the Lord’s prayer. Through these same words, we are asking God to deliver us out of this evil world and into his heavenly glory, where no violence, persecution, cruelty, or hatred will ever afflict us again. ___He is suggesting that saying the Lord's prayer is a direct request to die.

Fox & Friends Host Says If You’re Going To Get Gunned Down, Church Is The Best Place...who says stuff like that? Is she suggesting that it is better to kill Christians because they are destined for heaven instead of hell?

Even if I grant this argument, how does that justify murder? Do mothers get to murder their children who are born because "after birth all bets are off?" Based on the logic of your argument you should be supporting the fundamental right of women to murder their children who are born because "after birth all bets are off."

The Right's version of pro-life is better understood as pro-birth. After the baby is born all bets are off. Starvation wages, no health insurance, no clean air, no drinkable water. Some life.

Al Assad brought this upon himself in a failed attempt to crush dissent against him. So many died so that he could maintain his nepotist tyranny. This cannot be disputed in light of the overwhelming evidence against him.

A dirty war no doubt - but also a war that would never have gone on this long or started in the first place if not for the meddling of western powers every step of the way. How many innocent people have died because our political masters had fuelled this war in order to achieve their alterior motives or plans for the region. Just one example: It's quite amazing how we can turn a blind eye to satellite imagery that show convoys of trucks tens of kilometers long carrying oil to turkey our NATO partner in which the proceeds were used to fund Islamic state. Just blame Assad... sure gotta blame some one cause our side is always the good side.....

You be sure to hold your breath waiting for them to reverse themselves on the 2A.

"... if you contacted the SCOTUS and shared your expertise in constitutional law with them." The Supreme Court that previously ruled 1) it was legal for the post office to open mail without a warrant, 2) slavery is OK, 3) interning hundreds of Japanese people during WWII was legal, 4) preventing women and blacks from voting was OK, 5) segregation was legal, and 6) allowing teachers in public schools to preach Christian dogma regardless of what parents wanted? What they decide one day can be changed on another.

O: "the initial memo starts that very process." Well anyone with an IQ above room temperature knows what the 'process' is in the Trump kingdom. You draw up your plans in secret, you try to jam them through a compliant congress before the 80% or so of Americans who oppose your plans have time to react, and then you hopefully deliver big paydays to the .01% and multinational corporations who may, in turn, toss campaign contributions back at you. And you're right. The secret memo starts that very process.

The GG did not attack religion, or religious tolerance. Rather, she attacked silliness, e.g. creationism and climate change denialism.

I am all for pro-science, real science, not "climate science" that claims the "science is settled" (it never is), and calling those who question the hypothesis that man's activity is going to warm up the earth catastrophically "deniers". That's religion, not science.

" .. The lowest wholesale solar price bid from a solar project developer (unsubsidized) is 2.42¢/kWh.

I'm guessing that it is a bit of a career limiting move if a male employee took the max leave, unless they work in a very regulated work place where seniority is the driver for promotion and advancement.

Run plays are supposed to be used to set up the pass. Running is not an offensive plan, in and of itself. Personally, I keep wishing the Broncos would go downfield more often, but 1. You have to have receivers that can catch and hold onto the ball 2. You have to have a line that can protect the QB without holding 3. You have to run in order to set that up Therein lie the problems. I do know that good teams throw downfield successfully several times a game.

Yep. They reverted back to the predictible Kubiak offense. What's needed is a high tempo, no huddle offense with simplified play calls to take advantage of the altitude when at home.

The article does mention it. College educated white folks are moving to the City to get higher paying jobs. The article also talks about how immigrants are integrating, it just doesn't happen overnight. If you did move you wouldn't understand their entire culture the minute you stepped off the plane, these things take time. This little nugget from the article suggests they are integrating: “You’re seeing the community accept that. Those kids are all participants. The Johnsons and Thompsons know the Ruizes. They break bread together, they go to church together."

Whats the actual story, why are whites moving? No reporter want to touch that because its not politically correct to report accurate coverage of any situation? Why aren't immigrants fully integrating into the US anymore. Why are immigrants building strong foreign style villages and not learning the spoken language, culture? Minneapolis, Detroit, Columbus...the list goes on. Dangerous trend. What happened in Columbus with the machete attacks in restaurants, on campus at Ohio state with the driver running over and knifing people, I could name 100 events in the last ten years. Immigrants need to integrate or not come. If you don't like the American culture stay put in your home country, if you want to move and join America and make it a better place please do so "legally". It takes work to integrate so do it, practice english and everything else thats required to be a good neighbor. If I relocated to China I would fully expect to respect their customs, learn their language.....

Real world experiences of their peers? I know of not one millionaire, square shooter or thug, that was harmed by a policeman during the course of his duties. Unless you include the high ranking and relatively wealthy drug dealers that law enforcement have to deal with. But those wouldn't be "peers" would they?

Seems like you could have ended your response with "He wasn't very good" and covered it. Within the context of a football discussion, I could not care less about comparisons between talking to an imaginary friend and high profile individuals trying to bring attention to the real world experiences that their peers have while dealing with law enforcement and society in general.

If you're referring to countries such as Saudia Arabia, Iran, Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc then I 100% agree. And to be precise, in those countries women/girls do not have anywhere near the same rights as men and are often forbidden to get education. There is a serious problem with that religion then, right? But are you suggesting there is a significant problem in Canada where Christians are indoctrinating their children in religion to the exclusion of arts, music, science, etc etc? Surely that can't be the case...that would suggest parents who home school their children are in fact, religious zealots instilling the "cave mentality" in their children. If children were in school, then it would mightily suspicious if whole hordes of kids suddenly walked out art, music, science, math classes and would that not raise alarm bells?

I am amazed how much trampling and stomping is done upon science to sooth the sky fairy. I am all for fables and fiction but humankind has done a major disservice to this planet when religion overrides common sense and pursuit of truths through research and higher learning. Its been proven indoctrinate your children with art, music, science, sport, history they turn out smarter and better able to deal with their future. Indoctrinate children with religion and well you see how many countries are still trying to escape the 'cave mentality'.

I don't think either Vancouver or Victoria allow studded tires.

As an alternative, M+S tires with studs are also a good option. No, they are not winter tires, but the studs almost make up for it and the tires last longer. You just have to live with the road noise, which you get used to. The only place in Canada that doesn't allow studded tires is southern Ontario. Some other provinces have date restrictions on studs, which can be found here: http://www.brunowessel.com/studs/stud_seasons.asp

The DM doesn't have an editorial process.

Oscar really disappointing that you chose to repeat what has subsequently been proven to be fake news. Disappointing that the DM's editorial process did not pick this up. You should actually take time out to interact with the SA farming community and not base your views on the hysteria of twitter. Most farmers do not wish apartheid's return and want do make a contribution to South Africa. Most of them are not the overweight, brandy and coke swilling racists of popular imagination. You cannot deny them their felt experience which is that they are the target of horrendous violence. Nobody denies that there is violence on the Cape Flats, whether this is more or less than on farms is irrelevant. Surely a subset of the community have the right to protest about issue affecting them. Cape Muslim's regularly protest against violence in Israel. Nobody tells them that they should rather focus on violence in South Africa?

Zero risk - no. Marginally higher risk levels for money that has no short term requirements absolutely. Instead of depositing money in a savings account buy the bank stock and easily double if not triple your annual rate of return just on the dividend. Want a bit more security of capital find a perpetual preferred bank share issue and forego the capital appreciation potential. For taxable accounts the dividend tax credit leverage the real return even higher. Market growth GICs are another way to gain some upside potential for those fearful of the stock market. These GICs offer the guaranteed equivalent of basic bank interest as a minimum and up to 5% annualized as a maximum. My point was essentially that if one is truly so risk adverse as to leave $100K+ in a savings account that the maneuvers being suggested aren't likely all that palatable. For those willing to accept a very modest amount of risk there are reasonable options without any requirement of being a savvy trader.

Can you let us know how you can you get "much" higher rates with pretty much zero risk? 5-year GIC rates don't even match some of these rates.

It would seem you are the one embarrassed - why else resort to erroneous personal attack? Take your own advice - simply admit you and others here panicked, misunderstood...both what I said, and what Notre Dame actually intended. I will accept your apology for the nastiness.

Pandora, you are denying that you did not believe the article was reporting the facts, etc. People are not stupid. You do not have to say the words, : you are lying; for people to understand what you are saying using different words. I can understand that you are somewhat embarrassed which is why you are denying everything you said that elicited those responses. Just admit you stand corrected.I understand and I am sure others do too.

Even famous and talented actors sometimes have to take the pay cheque and hold their nose as they detest their role.

Just for the record, it's Plummer himself who, tongue-in-cheek, coined the term 'S&M' for that movie, along with 'The Sound of Mucus'. And he hated that movie, calling it "so awful and sentimental and gooey".

We do not want that. That will mean the fluoride lobby will never stop trying to force this on Port Angeles.

Why not an ordinance that requires the explicit consent of voters before fluoride can be added to the city's water? It's a decision that shouldn't be made lightly -- the wear and tear on water mains from shifting into and out of fluoridation is one reason. It should need at least as much public consent as a tax increase. The whole mess of the past 11 years happened when the City Council of 2006 chose to sign a 10-year escape-proof contract without ANY input from the public -- no notice, discussion, hearings, nor comment period -- despite a public vote only a few years before where a supermajority said "no" to fluoride. And look what it took to get that stealth decision reversed -- several lawsuits pitting the City against its citizens, a special vote / survey (ignored), open hostilities, and the threat of second-class status. Senseless expenses, senseless conflict in a democracy. We should just make sure it's not easy to commit the City to this path again.

Thank you for your great comment AnglerBob. That's exactly the point.

What is racist about the comment? The Chinese State through part ownership in Chinese Companies has been working strongly to buy assets and technology in foreign countries. Very smart for China. The difference compared to most foreign takeovers being the involvement of a State Actor. State Actors tend to have access to more money than private business, and China is the world's 2nd largest economy. Profits are always repatriated to ownership. This is pretty obvious stuff. There is a fair debate to be had about whether State Actors should be welcomed by sovereign countries to buy their assets and sensitive technologies. bavius does not have to be racist to believe that is a bad idea. Furthermore, different State Regimes demand different treatment. Would it be racist to want to prevent the sale of such things to N. Korea. Or Saudi Arabia? Arms sales to Saudi Arabia got the Liberals in a lot of trouble. Again you can debate China's record, but it's not exactly pretty.

I can be fine with Ruach. On further examination, Shekinah is more in keeping with appearandes by the Father, although it may have been the Father's voice and the Spirit's enveloping, so Shekinah was the manifestation at both the Baptism and the Transfiguration and Pentacost. Is that not wondersous to ponder? We lose so much by not calling the Spirit by name or names.

"Jesus, as Jew, knew the Holy Spirit as Shekinah." No. He did not. As one who might read Hebrew He would have know "Spirit" as "ruach". As a speaker of Aramaic; much the same. As God, He knows the Spirit as something more than we can express. "Ruach" is still a word with a grammatical feminine gender. I'm unsure why you would have chosen something as demonstrably false as to suggest that shekinah would have been the word He may have used. In the entirety of the OT that word is not used, and only, generally, found in rabbinic (typically kabbalah) literature. But it doesn't matter. Greek is the language for the NT and from the Greek we have "pneuma" as a neuter word, though when Paraclete and Comforter are used, these are grammatically masculine endings. "Who", then, is a perfectly acceptable translation. I think it a silly charge to say that "fear of the feminine" (whatever that is) is a vice in the hierarchy. Seems that fear of females led men to agree to change language needlessly.

That's not in dispute. And the refusal of a Catholic service won't affect this one way or another. It actually intended to protect others from sin. If you believe in the reality of mortal sin killing grace in the soul (do you?), the need for repentance before death (do you?), and the prospect of judgement and eternal damnation (do you?), then you'll understand and agree with the this decision. The objections are political in nature and not theological.

Only GOD can judge!

Hello Chaplin, Congratulations on stepping forward and proving my point, that there are activists and warriors who hurl accusations of racism on the drop of a dime, their goal to silence discussion. Now, if you go back and re-read what I really wrote, you will see that I actually encouraged the mayor to step forward and say things about racism by providing specific examples with quotes of who said what.

Congratulations on proving Mr. Mason and Mr. Nenshi correct. God forbid any brown person should say anything about racism. I mean really - how dare they?

AhiPoke, please stop using the acronym ISIS, as after the Obama Overthrows of U.S. Allies Established Governments, the Obama Supported with U.S. Citizens Money "Islamic Democracy Movements", "Arab Spring", changed their names to Islamic State Egypt, Islamic State Sinai, Islamic State Libya, Islamic State Tunisia, Islamic State Yemen, Islamic State Niger, Islamic State Mali, Islamic State Algeria, and other Islamic States, that are now "States" of a Larger Muslim Entity. Ever since the Demonrat Politicians f__ked up and listened to the Demonrat's U.S. Labor Unions the U.S. Invented High Technology Computer Controlled Automated Robotics Plants and Factories were not allowed at the U.S., and were built at Toluca Mexico. Later on once again as the 2008 Republican President Bush Bailouts Terms and Conditions the Demonrats got involved and perverted everything, continued

I actually think there's some truth to that. The U.S. and China are the two most powerful countries in the world. While it's unlikely that they can solve all the world's problems, like some of the conflicts in the Middle East which have been going on for centuries, it is possible for them to deal with North Korea and ISIS.

Pretty expensive solution, pay police to set up sting , hire crown and judge to prosecute, jail at incredible cost. or Let people buy their drug of choice, and use profits to pay for services. Put the dealers out of business, bypass the police justice costs.

Traffickers of drugs laced with fentanyl should be charged with murder if their product causes a fatal overdose, and with attempted murder if their product cannot be directly linked to a specific victim. Then, if they are convicted, the sentences should be as harsh as possible.
