I'm not talking about 80+.
I'm saying if you're 30 and get 6 demerits, you revert to G2.
If you're a stunt driver and get a week long suspension, you have to retest.

Why limit this to driving licences?
So many people would get demoted if the 'demote an asshole' standard was applied. Possibly including me sometimes, I guess.

Why not to both ?
Are you making a personal insult towards me or did I miss something?

lol, only sometimes! Getting a diagnoses as an adult for being on the spectrum did help, realized that other people have built in filters I may be lacking. Usually build in an internal 'pause 2 3' now but that breaks down when tired/burnout (so frequently with the CAF I guess). Still probably blissfully unaware sometimes, so some of it is unintentional. Sometimes it's really the appropriate response though, just maybe not a good 'default setting'.
I think more promotions would put me in the start of the Peter Principle zone though, as it would be almost all people-ing, but all options for future demotion do seem to lead to a potential relase, so a reasonable off ramp option that doesn't get you fired into the sun would be a nice happy medium.
As an aside, for obvious reasons, really ignore me that 'The Peter Principle', 'petering out' and 'Robbing Peter to pay Paul' are all common expressions.

No, I may have misunderstood your reply. I thought you were saying we only need to worry about 80+ drivers. I was suggesting that asshole drivers know no age limits (and was not suggesting you are one).
Apologies for my lack of clarity.

This is a more concerning program than TFW. Institutions should be responsible for reporting attendance to CBSA, and those same institutions with an attendance gap above Canadian average should have their international student privilege revoked. Any evidence of fraud and we hammer all leadership with the full extent of the law.
Then again, we don't follow through on sanctions for "lowest bidders" that declare bankruptcy instead of fulfilling thier government contracts so why would we expect leadership on this issue?

I missed this when it happened. I couldn’t find on here if someone already posted about it. It wouldn’t be surprising if no one did because she’s even more irrelevant than the NDP.
My only comment: should we start a pool on when she gets appointed as a “not-a-Liberal” senator?

Absolutely not. The youth and the elderly need more controls when it comes to driving. I would up the driving age to 21 to be honest. As well our come from aways need more extensive training and probably a longer probationary/accompanied period.

While May was away for those few years, the party devolved from a true "green" pro-environment party to a social justice party more focused on identity politics than actually helping the environment. Her return seemed to have "righted the ship", at least partially.
I would rather start a pool on how long it takes them to turn back into a woke dumpster fire after she leaves again.

Green - NDP merger ? I never understood why they both exist. To me they are really one in the same.

Yea, but they shouldn't be. Green parties, in my opinion, should border on being branded eco-terrorists. Their overall philosophy should be that a healthy planet is the only way to preserve the human race as a whole, not just any individual or group of individuals, and therefore cracking a few eggs (i.e. people) in this endeavor is acceptable for the greater good.
Obviously, it would never bee good to have such a party in actual government, nor would I want it, but they need to be focused and strong in their message so that the "lesser and more tame" of their policies might actually get adopted.

"Her platform, summed up by the tagline “Fight the Oligarchs, Fund Our Future,” mixes wealth redistribution with progressive staples, including higher taxes on the wealthy, free post-secondary, rent controls, grocery price caps, free transit and a ban on fossil fuel expansion."Looks like this kid's giving it a pretty good shot...

A.K.A "The Gypsy's Warning" 
Finance Minister signals ‘tough choices’ to find savings in federal budget
Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne says the government will make tough choices in the upcoming federal budget, acknowledging that the planned spending cuts will lead to staffing adjustments in the public service.
Mr. Champagne, speaking to reporters Thursday ahead of a cabinet meeting in north Toronto, said ministers have submitted their plans to reduce program spending over the next three years.
“Will there be tough choices to make? Definitely. Is the nation ready? I would say yes. I mean Canadians have elected us to do things differently,” he said.
“We said we’re going to spend less so we can invest more. And you know, people understand that. My mother understands that.”
Mr. Champagne requested this summer that ministers submit plans by the end of August to reduce program spending by 7.5 per cent in the fiscal year that begins April 1, 2026, followed by 10 per cent in savings the next year, and 15 per cent in the 2028-29 fiscal year.
Asked if this had been done, he replied: “It was not an option.”
“There’s things that we can do more efficiently,” he added.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is huddled with his cabinet at a north Toronto hotel this week for two days of meetings focused on the state of the economy as well as Canada-U.S. relations, fast-tracking major infrastructure projects and crime.
The Finance Minister’s comments follow those of Mr. Carney, who on Wednesday said the federal government will present both an austerity and investment-focused budget this fall, as he criticized the sharp rise in spending under his predecessor’s watch.
Mr. Carney said the rate of federal government spending over the last decade is more than 7 per cent year over year, which is faster than the rate of growth of the economy.
Asked if there were any areas of government that would not be touched by cuts, Mr. Carney said on Wednesday that health care spending, education transfers and transfers to individuals would not be affected.
Mr. Champagne on Thursday would not outline any specific spending cuts but when asked about layoffs to the public service, he said there will be “adjustments.”
“We’ve been adding a lot of people over the last few years,” he said. “You’re looking at adjusting, but at the same time, the point is really about using technology, delivering better services, making sure that Canadians find value for money.”
