Expect to see these words entered in evidence at a future trial in The Hague. Trump himself likely doesn't have enough years left in him to care but Hegseth and a few military leaders might see their travel outside of the US very limited to a few other non-signatory countries.

Maybe he's just not into live theatre.

I was more wondering about their comparative religious affiliations. Hegseth is reportedly an adherent of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches. The CREC is heavy into Christian Nationalism. While not aligned with the SBC, they are both evangenical and rely on a literal...

The only and only priest was out of town; on Easter weekend. Maybe just step one in delegitimizing every faith organization outside of the Southern Baptist Convention. Makes you wonder how well Hegseth and Vance get along.

A bit of a pedant, we don't use cheaper US energy to fill the reservoirs, we use cheaper US energy while we allow the reservoirs to fill. There is very little pumped storage in Canada.

Two years ago?

Just add to my comments, when politicians talk about an 'east-west energy corridor', in terms of electricity, it's not as simple as stringing wires on towers between the Atlantic and Pacific. Canada has three 'interconnects', regions where all the various utilities, generators, etc. are...

So long as those broader, loftier goals are baked into the CAF recruiting and training systems, then good.

Fair point, and standards shift to match the need. How many lives were lost by the ineffectual leaders that did make it through. My two points are no system is perfect, and if the system lets everybody through the door, the rest of the system better be designed to handle the influx.

I doubt it. Much of it is the simple physics of electricity. The system is always in flux; a bunch of ovens come on in the GTA at different times than Calgary. Load must match generation almost instantly, and unless we have massive installed electrical storage capacity, load factors can...

Sounds like a win-win for LM. Taking a page from the John Deere ag playbook.

So everybody who comes through the door (barring security clearance, etc.)? Put's a hell of a strain on training. I figure each step in the process is also a step in gate keeping. Not to mention they say the brain doesn't fully mature until the mid-20s (varies by sex). If that's a mean, I...

For want of a word, eh. Other than when TV/radio have actual SMEs on, this is where print media shines over 30-second electronic media, but it struggles.

Ya, I think we're in pretty good shape on that balance sheet: (Source: Canada Energy Regulator)
