I read that the budget is doing away with RRIFs. It looks like a simpler way of managing retired folks’ finances. Garth Turner, ex-MP, CRA minister and prolific blogger wrote this; ================= And the biggie: does messing with the retirement structure signal that Carney has a far larger...

You’re in the breach, we get it. But your response is made in bad faith. No one’s saying with ‘current’ anything. If we constrain ourself by that metric we might as well close up shop, give up. I would hope if the gov of Canada wanted to completely change their defense and sovereignty policies...

It wouldn’t hurt to hear both sides and let the best ideas battle it out though. I like it when each side steals from the other when it’s good ideas. Strong competition pushes them to be better.

Stupid question, is there a name for this type of graph. I kinda like it. This thread is making me seriously question some pretty basic Canadian policies. Not that I don’t want to be generous but sure doesn’t seem fit for purpose nor sustainable. Just from a household budget standpoint, how do...

You guys don’t like hockey?! Blasphemy.

Your first post says you expected to start phase 2 a couple weeks ago. To me, that means you’re either in Moose Jaw or Portage which are the best places to get the information. If you can’t get the info there, that’s quite worrisome. With the transition to the new training perhaps there’s some...

After he lost to Ali, I love that he pointed out that he went dancing with his wife after the fight while Ali spent the night at the hospital. Still doesn’t make sense how he could take so many shots, what a chin. RIP

The article says they have a permit for once a week, Friday afternoons.

Agree with all of your comments, and that she has a good case. However, I wonder what her motivation was to write that piece and have it published. From her position as a DG in north tower at pearkes, it seems she had the ‘fearless advice’ part of the equation covered but what about the ‘loyal...

Another reason why DB pensions are so valuable. Odd though that those fortunate enough to have a DB pension also get the additional benefit of preferential tax treatment.

Considering tsx and S&P indexes were up 32% and 18% respectively in 2025, it isn’t that crazy.

Cool project for sure, I’ll be keeping an eye on its progress. Interestingly, at the NATO ACG2 SG2 meeting in Ankara in June 2025 the Turkish hosts brought us to an open air EW range (by transall) and then bussed us to a TAI and Aselsan hangar to present us the ASOJ platform. In front of all of...

No kidding, I tried to find Reddit discussions about the songs but couldn’t find anything so probably investigations and people keeping a low profile. At least the songs are still up on YouTube since they’re….Epic. Air U and alumni can’t be too happy.

Looks like the trail aircraft lost visual with lead under his nose due to being stepped up in altitude. I’ve only experienced it a couple of times in different aircraft (slower fixed and rotary wing) and it made a lasting impression on me, not pleasant. It shouldn’t happen in the first place but...

Always nice to see the regiments getting along.
