It would be interesting to see the contortions that 'independent Alberta' political leaders would go through to accommodate the third rail of the Alberta advantage - no sales tax.

Or a voice in his head.

In this interview, former premier, Rachel Notley provides what I think is an apt characterization of Premier Smith's comments as to the Alberta/CanadaLiberal relationship. Ms. Notley starts making the specific reference to it at around 9:02 and rounds it out with Smith "channeling the...

Not "every single one of them" made vows of poverty. https://franciscanmissionaries.com/priests-take-vow-poverty/

A quick look (search for those specific words) in OHIP Schedule of Benefits (SOB) suggests that there is no "Ontario rate" for these specific surgical procedures as part of gender reassignment. While there may be are surgeons in Ontario who perform "vaginoplasty" (some of their websites have...

And an explanation of how "odds" works on FanDuel (i.e., the people who have a business working the odds) The "favourite" (the one expected to win) gets the "-"; the underdog (the expected loser) gets the "+". As at time of posting the LPC sits at -670 and the CPC +290 for forming the next...

I'll admit that I had to check and it surprised me, but my electoral district is one of the 19 ridings (6 in Alberta) that has a CFP candidate on the ballot. I suppose I'll now have to be on the lookout for any of their party logos (it's actually very well done and understated but the FA...

Good. Though their name recognition is lacking. Yesterday, during the poll worker training I attended, as we were discussing how we were to dress while working, specifically which colours to avoid, yellow was brought up and the question was asked if there was a party who used it in their...

It would depend how long and for what reason was the Class B (a course, employment at home unit, an exercise, etc) . Class B could be from 13 days to a period of years. If there are weekends during that period of service during which the reservist is required to work, he will have to work...

It's not the properness of the uniform but the identity of the "actor" (high school drama teacher?) wearing the marguerite cap badge that could provoke ire.

FFS Something to raise the blood pressure of Patricias on the forum.

The whys and whynots of Canadian war movies could make for an interesting discussion but as production costs won't count toward 2% of GDP, perhaps a thread split? Or here's an idea for increasing defense spending - each service gets $50 million to make a movie. :ROFLMAO:

The problem isn't that we don't have the tales of derring-do, it's that to have the quality of production that rivals the Hollywood versions takes money which would be expected to be recouped at the box office. And like having a homegrown armaments industry, the market for a Canadian story told...

Nobody expects the common sense fairy (or the Spanish Inquisition)!

Sure. Some background (from various parts of Elections Canada website) about how they find poll workers; there is some partisan involvement baked into the Canada Elections Act. I didn't fall into that category so it will be interesting to see whether any of my fellow poll workers come with...

I'm hoping it will be uneventful, but "fun" will be a bonus. On the day that the election was announced I went to the Elections Canada website and used their form to apply for an election worker position. Might as well not only see how the sausage is made but stuff a few myself. I will now...

Nothing says RCAF like USA.
