That's it. Tariffs on South Africa. They're very nasty people.

If you swap 'effective' or 'representative' for "accuracy" many would agree with you. I'm not sure inaccuracy is a fault of FPTP.

The advantage of FPTP is its simplicity; results are known within hours, the voter only has to make one simple decision. This does not deny its drawbacks. The few times that a government has proposed changes, it has either chickened-out (go figure) or the electorate rejected the alternative...

That likely changed (in Ontario anyway) when an undergrad degree was mandated for a general teaching certificate. I don't know when that was mandated or who pushed for it. From what I recall and from teachers I know, much of the rest of the faculty felt the same way.

And fart in our general direction.

Memory fades since it has been a l-o-o-o-n-g time since I was in high school but I recall that our shop teachers, all of whom came from their professions, took a summer 'how to be a teacher' course, and perhaps some seminars, and they only taught shop. Now, it's a big move if they have to take...

I won't do the research but I'll betcha that 'sovereignist' and 'separatist' are terms using heavily, and probably interchangeably, but the respective proponents. In Quebec, sovereignty has been a favoured term dating back to the heady days of 'sovereignty association' (out but still in)...

If CAF is using public college to augment or supplement in-house training, and it can exercise a sufficient level of control on the curriculum, then that's good. Concepts such as augmentation is different than 'handing over to', and maybe I was missing the details. In terms of actual trade...

Not arguing the colour - just the corporate name.

That would have been her. Up until last year, the place had a staff of one (now it has two). It seems nobody has clue about 'the hole'.

I'm not sure I am, but my exposure is limited to Ontario and in the law enforcement field. As far as accreditation goes, I have no insight into that. There are lot of colleges (originally called 'community colleges') that are now degree granting institutions, which further clouds the issue...

Ontario provides emergency medical transport, land or air, within the province. The only place I can think of where Ornge might transport to a destination outside of the province would be to Winnipeg from n/w Ontario simply because it might be the closest trauma centre...
