Ottawa keeps sending mixed messages. They just vetoed the proposal to allow larger vessels in Northern B.C. so that's 250,000 barrels a day that won't be going west anytime soon.

Likewise. With the scarcity of airframes I can't see anyone divesting of a serviceable a/c. Maybe sideline them as backups but certainly not disposal. I haven't read where they are replacing any of the current airframes. I wonder though about the phrasing of the joint statement where they...

At the same time though there are fully trained PSWs and RNs who cannot get a permanent position but are on call-in or part-time so that hospitals don't have to pay benefits even though they have the py approved to hire them. The same hiring pattern can be seen in the school boards as well. At...

once again you have demonstrated that you don't bother reading people's replies. I don't do facebook. Full stop. But when you examine the budget there are a lot of rounding errors that add up to one hell of a lot of money. Anything over 1% is no longer a rounding error anyways it is a...

sounds like his buddy in Washington

not an expert by any means on the different advantages to each but pursuing your line of argument wouldn't the F16 should it go into an upgrade make a better selection?

Why not? If the rules were changed to require immigrants to have a job lined up before arrival then they would be destined for Earlton or Melfort from the moment they bought their ticket.

I did and I dont' use face book. The figures still speak for themselves and they were confirmed through more than one source. Interesting the lessons that you have absorbed from the CBC and the like. Making a partial quote when the balance of the quote doesn't totally support your position...

This has been gone over before. there are probably more jobs that would be better served through an apprenticeship programme than a degree. And even those that require classroom studies can probably be through less expensive methods. A close friend earned a PHD in family counselling on line...

2025 Canada will stop funding hotel accommodations for asylum seekers on Sept. 30, ending a program that has cost taxpayers $1.1 billion since 2017, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada announced this week. The department of immigration, refugees and citizenship spent 6.1 billion in...

the joys of having a strong union. How many times in the last 20 years has the teacher's union in Ontario been bought off to avoid confrontation and every one of those union wins adds to the problem. I see no problem with a union worker making a lot of money provided the union pension plan is...

France is where they are because they bought off voters with benefits that they couldn't afford. Their retirement age was 62. It is now 64; Their guaranteed pension is 1600 Cdn. each person in the household. Their workweek is 35 hours with anything over at least in government getting o/t...

At the same time they are still collecting education from us which is a service we definitely don't use anymore. There are other municipal services that most seniors don't use as well so they cut us a bit of a break on transit. One reason for that is simply that we avoid it during peak...

so they have a good picture. Some expert somewhere should be able to say this is definitely a(enter country's name) and stop with the pussy-footing around. If it is Russian, call them out.

in 1970 I believe that minimum wage was 1.50. I was pulling 7.50 an hour plus hazard pay in a car plant in '68; as close as I can come Actually, there are some of us who do enjoy reading them. I didn't say agree with them though the same as we read your comments. I don't understand your...
