Another of the few Republicans who deserves re-election is Representative Louise Stutes of Kodiak (a 'musk ox') who also represents Cordova and Yakutat and many other small communities in the gerrymandered redistricting. She puts party aside and abides by the way her constituents want her to vote, regardless of party ideology. Her opponent is Duncan Fields, long time head of the Kodiak Republican Party who conveniently jumped ship and is running as an Independent so he won't have to run against Stutes in the primary. It's a given that Fields is a hard core Republican ideologue who, should he win, will immediately curry favor to get on plum Republican-controlled committees and will caucus with the Imperials. Fields reeks of opportunism. This Cordovan predicts that Stutes will win in a landslide. My family will Stick with Stutes.	0	not toxic	49,804	49,804	30,279	30,382

Gee, what an eye opener. Does history teach us anything about the following - Is the system of credits and deductions too complex and beneficial to the highest income earners? Should we lower the highest marginal tax rate (53% or so) and eliminate tax perks which benefit those with access to expertise and mask the real tax rate paid? Does it make sense to tax capital gains less than income? Is a value added tax such as HST better than income tax? What are the biggest tax gaffes in history and why? What were the best ideas and why? Is it a good idea to tax corporations at a lower rate than individuals? Why? In short, can we have an article with some meat?	0	not toxic	49,832	49,832	31,387	6,482

"Ranting." That's a pretty funny way to describe my correcting your error. You continue to make the same error despite my having laid out the facts for you about the 287g program. The point here isn't whether "federalize" and "deputize" mean the same thing. They really don't but that's beside the point. When Kennedy federalized the Alabama guard, he did so under authority of federal law and the guardsmen did not have a choice. Here with ICE and 287g, the federal government isn't federalizing sheriffs and local LEOs. It is soliciting their voluntary cooperation. Nearly all jurisdictions decline to let their police and sheriffs become immigration agents too because, as experience has shown, that hampers local crime fighting. Racist are conservatives.

When I read this book in the '80s, I thought it was a silly, unrealistic dystopian fantasy that could only really appeal to hardline feminists. None of the characters, including the abused women, inclined you to root for them. I still think the same way. The storyline seemed to be the projection of some sort of puritanical Christian sect sprung several centuries into the future, and I saw nothing around me at the time that made me think that this was where I or my female descendants would end up. And even in terms of societies repressive towards women historically, this novel made no sense. As for anything to do with Trump as president of America? I see no connection whatsoever, just as I didn't with 1984. People should read a bit more history, actually read the novels they're talking about (in context of their times), before spouting this tripe.

The commandments and beatitudes might be relatively few in number--but that is because they are general principles upon which we are to derive appropriate actions for specific circumstances. The Bible cannot possibly speak to every circumstance we may find ourselves. The teachings of Christ and the commandments he gives, however, are sufficient enough that we can derive what the proper moral action is in a specific circumstance. Your statement, therefore, is true but misleading. It is misleading because it suggests that God expects little of us and isn't really concerned with sin. God expects much of us and is not about to ignore our sinful choices if we are not repentant.	0	not toxic	49,854	49,854	28,266	49,909
Carsten I think you are perhaps missing the point. There cannot be any doubt that international business was omnipresent in Apartheid South Africa - and thankfully so because without foreign investment hundreds of thousands of jobs - on all levels, but mainly shop floor labourers - would have been lost and millions of people would have been forced into starvation. So yes internationally active companies such as UBS or Volkswagen, Mercedes, Siemens etc have been lobbying their respective governments and parliaments not to disinvest from South Africa.

In other livestock news: "Three Islamic State militants setting up an ambush in a bitterly contested area of northern Iraq were killed by a herd of stampeding boars, local leaders say." Sheikh Anwar al-Assi, a chief of the local Ubaid tribe and supervisor of anti-ISIS forces, told The Times of London the militants were hiding on the edge of a field about 50 miles southwest of Kirkuk when the boars overwhelmed them Sunday. Five other militants were injured, al-Assi said. He said the group was poised to attack a band of local tribesmen who had fled to nearby mountains since militants seized the town of Hawija three years ago. "Al-Assi said the militants had summarily executed 25 people attempting to flee the militant's would-be caliphate in the three days before the boars attacked."

Typical, social/liberal logic. The same mis-informed logic which career politicians have burned into the weak minded peons for years. Basic facts: The Federal Government was formed to work for the People of the Nation and was granted 'only specific' powers. The State Governments were formed to work for the People living in that geographic area of the Nation and all powers not specified to the federal level were reserved to the state. The Federal Government is not an entity unto it's self! It is owned and "Funded" by all of the People! The Federal Government spends "your" money! State money, Federal money, it is all our money!

Kim Rue: The reason my brother came up here in the first place is to be with me.We only have each other.All our family is dead.I'm 65 & not always in the best health.He's 69 not always in the best health.I don't know if you have kids, a spouse, mom & dad, siblings to assist you & support you.I haven't had that for years.With my brother here we can support each other.If either of us gets sick or hurt, we are here for each other.

Another of the few Republicans who deserves re-election is Representative Louise Stutes of Kodiak (a 'musk ox') who also represents Cordova and Yakutat and many other small communities in the gerrymandered redistricting. She puts party aside and abides by the way her constituents want her to vote, regardless of party ideology. Her opponent is Duncan Fields, long time head of the Kodiak Republican Party who conveniently jumped ship and is running as an Independent so he won't have to run against Stutes in the primary. It's a given that Fields is a hard core Republican ideologue who, should he win, will immediately curry favor to get on plum Republican-controlled committees and will caucus with the Imperials. Fields reeks of opportunism. This Cordovan predicts that Stutes will win in a landslide. My family will Stick with Stutes.

Gee, what an eye opener. Does history teach us anything about the following - Is the system of credits and deductions too complex and beneficial to the highest income earners? Should we lower the highest marginal tax rate (53% or so) and eliminate tax perks which benefit those with access to expertise and mask the real tax rate paid? Does it make sense to tax capital gains less than income? Is a value added tax such as HST better than income tax? What are the biggest tax gaffes in history and why? What were the best ideas and why? Is it a good idea to tax corporations at a lower rate than individuals? Why? In short, can we have an article with some meat?

"Ranting." That's a pretty funny way to describe my correcting your error. You continue to make the same error despite my having laid out the facts for you about the 287g program. The point here isn't whether "federalize" and "deputize" mean the same thing. They really don't but that's beside the point. When Kennedy federalized the Alabama guard, he did so under authority of federal law and the guardsmen did not have a choice. Here with ICE and 287g, the federal government isn't federalizing sheriffs and local LEOs. It is soliciting their voluntary cooperation. Nearly all jurisdictions decline to let their police and sheriffs become immigration agents too because, as experience has shown, that hampers local crime fighting. Racist are conservatives. That's just a matter of fact you cannot escape. You're not doing very well here, perhaps it's time to stop and think a bit before instantly replying with more off-point diversions.

When I read this book in the '80s, I thought it was a silly, unrealistic dystopian fantasy that could only really appeal to hardline feminists. None of the characters, including the abused women, inclined you to root for them. I still think the same way. The storyline seemed to be the projection of some sort of puritanical Christian sect sprung several centuries into the future, and I saw nothing around me at the time that made me think that this was where I or my female descendants would end up. And even in terms of societies repressive towards women historically, this novel made no sense. As for anything to do with Trump as president of America? I see no connection whatsoever, just as I didn't with 1984. People should read a bit more history, actually read the novels they're talking about (in context of their times), before spouting this tripe. In any event, I have no interest in watching this particular series.

The commandments and beatitudes might be relatively few in number--but that is because they are general principles upon which we are to derive appropriate actions for specific circumstances. The Bible cannot possibly speak to every circumstance we may find ourselves. The teachings of Christ and the commandments he gives, however, are sufficient enough that we can derive what the proper moral action is in a specific circumstance. Your statement, therefore, is true but misleading. It is misleading because it suggests that God expects little of us and isn't really concerned with sin. God expects much of us and is not about to ignore our sinful choices if we are not repentant.

Carsten I think you are perhaps missing the point. There cannot be any doubt that international business was omnipresent in Apartheid South Africa - and thankfully so because without foreign investment hundreds of thousands of jobs - on all levels, but mainly shop floor labourers - would have been lost and millions of people would have been forced into starvation. So yes internationally active companies such as UBS or Volkswagen, Mercedes, Siemens etc have been lobbying their respective governments and parliaments not to disinvest from South Africa. And yes you are right they had a vested interest in doing so. But to come back to this article; what does it tell us what we don't already know. And what is behind the headlines? Skeletons yes!

If only the Republican presidential candidates mode of operation wasn't in the form of belligerence. But it is. Belligerence has/will always incite more belligerence. Add the prospect of under the table financing and 'viola,' you have the stigmas that come from belligerent incentive.

It's pompous and egalitarian to say that no one should be out in the "wee morning hours". Many people work service jobs until late at night. And many of these people don't have vehicles. So they walk or bike to get back to their homes. "Rational" people know this. So it is not surprising that you didn't know this.

Explain how does giving away tickets to Alumni who cannot afford the tickets improve student attendance?. Students get to attend free already. Alumni is the public and should pay for the tickets I thought we stopped giving away freebies when we stop giving away free tickets to legislators. As a season ticket holder this upsets me. This practice won't help increase the paying public. Even along time ago we had to pay for our tickets as students.

Yes, two way trade may be 'approaching 800 billion'. In fact it is 780 Billion and our share of that is 350 B gross sales. After you strip out costs, we are putting up with their constant harassment for a net 35 Billion a year in gross profit, and it is hardly worth it.

In other livestock news: "Three Islamic State militants setting up an ambush in a bitterly contested area of northern Iraq were killed by a herd of stampeding boars, local leaders say." Sheikh Anwar al-Assi, a chief of the local Ubaid tribe and supervisor of anti-ISIS forces, told The Times of London the militants were hiding on the edge of a field about 50 miles southwest of Kirkuk when the boars overwhelmed them Sunday. Five other militants were injured, al-Assi said. He said the group was poised to attack a band of local tribesmen who had fled to nearby mountains since militants seized the town of Hawija three years ago. "Al-Assi said the militants had summarily executed 25 people attempting to flee the militant's would-be caliphate in the three days before the boars attacked." Since the pig is an unclean animal according to both Sunni and Shi'a Islam, this is clearly a rejection of the Islamic State by Allah!

Typical, social/liberal logic. The same mis-informed logic which career politicians have burned into the weak minded peons for years. Basic facts: The Federal Government was formed to work for the People of the Nation and was granted 'only specific' powers. The State Governments were formed to work for the People living in that geographic area of the Nation and all powers not specified to the federal level were reserved to the state. The Federal Government is not an entity unto it's self! It is owned and "Funded" by all of the People! The Federal Government spends "your" money! State money, Federal money, it is all our money! There is no free lunch! Unless you work as a pusher of papers in a government job, producing nothing but more paperwork for other non productive government employee to shuffle. Non productive jobs cost money! Personally, the people would be better served at the local level where intelligence and common sense reside.

The usual suspects use the inclusion of islamic prayers in our schools, to attack Christianity, which has formed part of Canada's traditions and values from the beginnings of our country's formation. Why, should we ban christian optional prayers in schools, when in turn they accommodate muslims to pray in the same schools. The above caption picture, an islamic woman is wearing: "During a Peel District School Board meeting on April 12, a supporter of religious accomodations wears a t-shirt with the saying ‘Respect existance or expect resistance.’ (Glenn Lowson/The Globe and Mail) "Or expect resistance"?!

Populism is illogical? I think you're completely wrong about that. Common sense dictates that people who share common ancestry would work together for mutual prosperity and mutual defense. Canada's mutli-ethnic nature is engendering, slowly but surely, a vicious backlash against immigrants that will not be "chugging along" in a few years' time.

As a retired member of Calgary's oil patch alumni, I recognized that the need to curb greenhouse gas emissions would impact the Alberta economy. But after seeing tens of thousands of people thrown out of work over the past two years due to collapsed oil prices, I now believe a more cautious approach that balances the environment with employment is necessary to avoid awkward dislocation. The gradually increasing national price on carbon is the right approach and will change the public's over-reliance on fossil fuels over time.

Alaska has always been about money though. It started with furs, then went to gold, then fishing, copper (the Carnegie fortune was made at Kennicott), then logging, then massive influx of federal defense dollars for the cold war build up, then came oil (which eclipsed them all). My family came here in the late 1940 's and from what I've been told from great aunts , uncles, etc, they cam here for economic opportunity, not to "live at one with nature".

NOOOOO. You want to pay online? Here is a convenience charge! Which is weird because the convenience is not for the payers but the person collecting the revenue, so in reality any government agency taking payments online should offer a DISCOUNT to someone paying online.

Kim Rue: The reason my brother came up here in the first place is to be with me.We only have each other.All our family is dead.I'm 65 & not always in the best health.He's 69 not always in the best health.I don't know if you have kids, a spouse, mom & dad, siblings to assist you & support you.I haven't had that for years.With my brother here we can support each other.If either of us gets sick or hurt, we are here for each other. I had the expertise to personally advocate for my brother & spent many hours helping him get services & he now lives in an apt that he can afford. I dealt with a lot of bureaucracy that was at times extremely frustrating.I especially thank Catholic Social Services for their assistance.Also AHFC & Cook Inlet Housing.Personal advocating is something that so many homeless people don't have available.This was the point of my story.Also, that people do find shelter. I wish you would educate yourself before criticizing others.I think it was very rude of you.

Punishing you and many others, that worked the work, and sometimes not to their liking as far as some jobs, but one had to do what they had to in order to keep their heads above water, raise a family, educate the children,paying their taxes, now because of being responsible for our lives we are being told well ya have to pay your share.... Not much of an incentive for anyone I am starting to think . Having said that I believe that being taxed should be done in a fair for the folks caught in the middle,just do not want to everything that I worked going to a high flying bunch of politicians their waste and lacked of management and of no budgets or even an attempt to balance one.

I have studied the situation and know we backed the killer terrorists along with your imagined good terrorists. Prior to the civil war, the Syrian people were reasonably well off. After years of media and US supported subversive activities in Syria, uncounted numbers are dead or refugees driven from their homes. The US support of the subversion had enormous human cost. The Russians stepped in wisely and stamped their feet on the terrorists. Soon, through Russian wisdom, the Syrian people will be able to begin the healing process. The media was completely wrong about freedom fighters.

Yes they did turn down the federal government's bait and switch Medicaid expansion. They understood the financial risk their state would be taking by accepting it. The new bill would put the state in charge of how to distribute the Medicaid assistance as compared to the central governments requirements. The Heritage foundations plan would have had little to no effect on the existing health insurance plans as compared to what Obamacare complete shake up and chaos it created. The word "mandate" is about tho only thing that Heritagecare and Obamacare have in common. it is "what" was mandated that make any comparison argument invalid.

Well, I wouldn't! Khadr was abused by the Americans for years from 15 years old and Canadian agents helped them out. Khadr was asking for $20 million. the federal government had already spent $5 million fighting Khadr, mostly under Harper, and would have spent more again fighting this in Court only to lose! Even the US medic who kept Khadr alive after he was found almost dead and blind in one eye thinks that paying the $10.5 million was the thing to do and it was one of his comrades who got killed! Remember too, that Maher Arar was awarded essentially the same amount.
