Did you ever finish any leadership training?

Yes. Anything else you want to know?SIN number? Blood type? Most cherished memory? Biggest fear? Earliest memory? Is cereal a soup?

Is cereal a soup?

I would like to know your views on this.

Soups need to have been boiled, so no, cereal is not a soup.

He's trying to trick you into admitting you know what Okroshka soup is.

Drifting into the Sargasso Sea of municipal development...

Sean Speer: Mark Carney’s Build Canada Homes agency won’t solve Canada’s housing crisis​

When the federal government declares itself a builder of first resort, municipalities have less incentive to fix their own rules. Why tough out local opposition to four- and six-plexes if Ottawa will write a cheque for a small number of units on federal land? The political economy here is perverse: federal builds can crowd out the urgency for systemic municipal reform even as they barely dent the national shortage.

None of this says social and supportive housing don’t matter. But the real housing crisis is a market scarcity problem. It requires market-scale solutions: legalize more housing types, reduce the cost and time to build, and align population inflows with construction capacity so we aren’t pouring demand into a fixed pipe. The federal government’s comparative advantage is setting conditions and incentives, not acting like a national developer.

By reframing the challenge as primarily one of non-market production, Build Canada Homes essentially guarantees under-performance. It addresses a narrow segment of housing while the wider market remains constricted. If your policy won’t move the big levers—zoning, approvals, and fees—you shouldn’t expect big results.

Don't be too sure. I boil the water for my oatmeal. Red River cereal is also boiled.

Oatmeal is a soup.

Confirmed.

Has anybody posted anything about the Ostrich cull happening in BC right now?

I looked for a thread on it but didn't see one

Confirmed.

But you don't eat soup for breakfast...

I love oatmeal.

The point being, you used a terrible reference. You can be given a military task, conduct a mission analysis, go back to your boss and tell them you can't achieve the task UNLESS X is given to me, etc.

The Navy does, don't they?

Absolutely. I agree.

However, in this example, are people asking for additional resources or personal or simply disagreeing with the task itself and the goal, and instead of protecting it, saying they should be to allowed to destroy it?

Regardless, @Brad Sallows put in the effort and actually came up with an alternative to the status quo that didn't involve burning everything to the ground and I appreciate it. Since nobody else has come up with an alternative I consider the open question closed and will be moving on.

That's at recess, as my wife calls it.

Haven't seen a threat yet, but I must say I'm surprised at how upset I am about hte potential cull of a bunch of Ostriches (Ostrichi?.. Ostri?).

Pretty sure it's even less of a "Liberal Minority Government" sub-topic than my obsession with future media economics.

[Add: sounds like a candidate for "Radio Chatter"]

Diseased poultry are culled routinely.

Is that why the RCR have retention issues?
