    All Things AB Separatism (split fm Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???)

    Not my recollection. At least a few people who mattered were genuinely worried, and there was also substantial anger at perceived mishandling of Canada's counter-efforts by Chretien on the second attempt. If you mean the country was "good" with Quebec pursuing a legitimate process in asking...

    Rise and Fall of the NDP - 2015 - ????

    The great difficulty for progressive parties is that so much of what they want now requires changing human nature on a time scale of years rather than millennia.

    Tamiya | President Mr. Shunsaku Tamiya Passed Away at 90

    Ah, an artillerist. I have a FAMO+trailer and a Dragon Wagon+trailer collecting dust, and an assortment of other stuff that just seems interesting - mostly light armour and motorcycles. I keep thinking I'd like to adapt some of the latter to that "joust" scene in The Last Crusade.

    Tamiya | President Mr. Shunsaku Tamiya Passed Away at 90

    Define "few". I have my own "few". The modelling world has many highly-reliable kit and add-on manufacturers, but Tamiya held the torch for accuracy and quality for decades.

    The political impact of the releases of documents confirming what has been known for years - that the investigative agencies tended to emphasize militating sources (even junk) and de-emphasize mitigating sources, at the expense of customary if not statutory procedures, and that the...

    Hulk Hogan, 1953-2025, R.I.P.

    So is that "3"? Hogan, Osbourne, and Malcolm-Jamal Warner?

    Did the US really occupy Canada during WWII?

    OK. I notice that "overstays" and "asylum rejected" indicate the people at least entered the country legally, though.

    What is the estimated number of people illegally in Canada?

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    . I've read estimates from various think tanks ranging from $30B to $200B, and some as fractions of GDP: 1.5% to 2% ($33B to $45B). I suppose these include everything the authors could think of. The jump is not expected to happen in one year. CCPA engages in its own direction of motivated...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    If the force is properly balanced, I don't think we get anywhere near that. For 100K we'd probably get a 3-division corps and some Comm Z troops. And the rest would go to naval and air force formations.

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    I don't remember ever encountering the claim mentioned here, from Wesley Clark, that the Bush administration had a "seven countries in five years" war concept to reshape the ME. (The video clip is - at least to me - amusing.) It's surreal. Does anyone remember reading/hearing it...

    Purchasing power, or any other crude measure of the capacity to consume. After enough time, their worst-off will move up enough relative to ours so that the effect is beyond quibbling. The rich are irrelevant. Among and below the middle class matters. I consider it axiomatic that freedom and...
