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

    I didn't know school boards provided transportation for pre-JK, particularly if they require a car seat (under 40lb.)

    2025 U.S. - Venezuela conflict

    So where is the line? Gunning down the occupants of a van full of drugs on the side of the 401? The US seems to have assumed the authority to stop boats on the high seas. They could just as easily enact a law that give them jurisdiction to arrest, try and imprison them on US soil. It...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Not particularly uncommon. Every Charter right is viewed through a Section 1 lens: 1. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic...

    Funny Pix & Video Thread

    Poorly phrased, since you could either run out of boxes or children depending on how you read it.

    Because a civil society is supposed to be better than that?

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

    Would that only be available for issued children? :giggle: A lot probably depends on the demographics of a base (number/age of kids), which can move over time. Our daughter is a DND employee and couldn't get our grandson into on-base daycare as an infant but can as a toddler. The number of...

    Phoenix Pay System - Shit's Horrible

    Or the questionable off-shore transactions revealed by the Panama Papers et al that apparently aren't even being looked at because it's really hard and expensive.

    High Ranking Police Folk Allegedly Behaving Badly

    That's not the way I read it. I can't get good enough resolution the see rank but they are all 'white shirts' so at least S/Sgts., so starting at about $155K.

    Alberta government thread

    Ontario went to photo ID, renewable health cards in 1995, reportedly in an effort to curb fraud and misuse. The roll-out was lazy since the old, no-photo, no expiry date cards were still accepted until 2020. I understand those at the margins of society might be vulnerable but I have no heard...

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

    It's not always just 'they' making it difficult. In Ontario: Plus security and vulnerable person checks. Parents who resident in some communities can wait many months for a slot. I can imagine a posting cycle doesn't help. The idea of registering for daycare as soon as you know you are...

    Indigenous self-ID/"Pretendians" (merged thread)

    I remember a few years ago there was a move (I forget which government) to put some kind of rules around who could be considered a FN band member and some bands put up a howl, claiming the government was being paternalistic and that only they should determine that. Like FNT housing, sometimes...

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    According to the US NPS statistics, about 318.3 million people visited their sites in 2018 (no public data on country of origin). The US Travel Association estimates that about 14.6 million of those were foreign nationals, so about 4.5%. Not huge, and I could find any estimate of the total...
