    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    A lot of staff effort went into prepping 1) a big binder telling the guy “welcome to the job - here’s your big files, what to consider & what we’re doing,” and 2) a smaller binder prepping him for the committee hearing. Here’s past examples of (1) …...

    Ontario Government (Conservative majority), 2025-29

    Suspect a number of foreign med schools have a fair number of Canadians & Yanks. Ontario hospitals tried schemes in the past where they’d pay for part of a doc’s schooling in exchange for a guarantee of x years of service in an underserved area. For some reason, the docs wiggled out of the...

    The War in Ukraine

    Also keep in mind that while we talk about all things military in these parts, Canada hasn't been doing tooooooooooo bad compared to other countries (around CAD$10.6 billion to the end of February of this year) when it comes to helping UKR in a variety of ways outside of military help.

    Fingers crossed, indeed, but it’s interesting to see so many unanimous votes back to back after the heat of the campaign. I hope he doesn’t think this is how Parliament works all the time. Ride the wave for now, baby!

    You're right, that would solve the input part of the equation. In the case of nurses, though, unless there's also mo' money put into staffing, say, hospitals and nursing homes, they end up getting trained and leaving. Same with the docs, but maybe to a lesser extent since they can go fee for...

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    He'll be lucky not to get sent back to Africa if he keeps this up :) A lot of POTUS47 supporters said Trump was certain to release those (alleged?) files. If they do exist, I guess he's waiting for the right time ...

    And since I suspect companies pay big money for shelf location, they might be less than pleased being moved about to maybe less desirable spaces. True dat - and it would be interesting to see.

    Jun 2025: "RCMP says it will collect info on possible war crimes in Gaza war"

    I don't think it's quite that straightforward (but what government speak is?). To me, it's more like the RCMP saying "we're sorta/kinda doing a sort of a background information check where they gather information that might be useful later - from open sources - especially about possible war...

    Jun 2025: "RCMP says it will collect info on possible war crimes in Gaza war"

    Put this here to focus more on the RCMP angle than the fighting of the Gaza fight angle elsewhere. Wonder how busy the RCMP's "secure online portal available in French, English, Hebrew and Arabic" is these days? Sounds like it could get a touch messy, but fingers crossed, and good luck to the...

    100% that most don't. That said, people on all sides are happy to cherry pick things like, "why does program A only gets $B when program C gets $D?" Or, "why the flying fuck does Ottawa spend $x on program y when we don't even need it because it's just...
