Chief previously suspended, now Deputy Chief and civilian staffer suspended (let us all guess why). Sounds like a fun place. https://www.theobserver.ca/news/local-news/more-sarnia-police-suspensions-early-start-for-interim-chief-service-board

Offshore content creators posting on Alberta separatism. Colour me not shocked. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/facebook-overseas-alberta-separtism-9.7223966

I'm not aware that there were Genies in North Bay. I believe by that time, the squadrons operating there were OTUs. I'm not aware of any remnants of a weapons storage area.

I'm not aware of one. I wasn't thinking specifically about succession but rather, the broader question of whether the issue of consultation and their 'free, prior and informed consent' is a de facto veto. It is my understanding that 'Crown land' is owned by the Crown, of which there is only...

Or you have to blow your driveway multiple times in one day. My brother is closer to Meaford and they were snowed-in for three days this past winter; the township just gave up trying.

As is the Canadian way. Interesting that the Bomarcs were installed in North Bay (and assume La Macaza) in 1961 but the nuclear warheads weren't delivered until 1963 - New Year's Eve - at night.

A lot easier winters than when we lived in the Georgian Bay snowbelt.

I'm not sure about Europe but the defensive/NORAD history is pretty much the way I understand it.

Indeed. His first term was comparatively benign and I suspect those who voted for him expected much the same the second time around. I suspect a lot of buyer's remorse has set in but there is a non-zero set of voters who have consumed the Kool-Aid. That and the Democrats ran a poor campaign.

I don't know the pulse of the US population, but suspect the "ordinary American" wants neither society that the far left or the, currently empowered far right desires. I have a hard time believing that your so-called "normies" are the Christian Nationalist, Trump-was-chosen-by God...

If geologist, prospectors and exploration companies made similar assumptions from aeromagnetic surveys, seismic readings and other exploratory technologies, they would probably end up charged with fraud. How anyone could honestly and in good faith make the conclusions or assumptions they did...
