The entrepreneurs who put up "infill 6, 7, 800k townhouses" don't give a rat's ass about "helping affordability", they just want to turn a profit. In Calgary they do that by buying an 800k property (determined by lot size and a neighborhood that fits someone who will pay 800k for a home), demos...

That's not a "rich person" house in Calgary. It's a middle class neighbourhood. https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/28090090/44-sierra-nevada-rise-calgary-signal-hill#view=stats And this is what the neighbourhood looks like. There is already multiunit housing (condos - 450k to 500k range) in...

I'm a little familiar with that area, but not specifically that street. There is a vocal opposition to the current mayor (they even tried to have her recalled, an object lesson for the separation referendum folks), a lot of it tied to real estate, especially from developers. As to whomever...

See my previous post as to "citizenship", however financial benefits (e.g. CPP, OAS, GIS) are not necessarily tied to citizenship but also to legal residency. There are a minimum number of years of residency in Canada that establish eligibility to receive OAS even if one is no longer resident...

Maintaining citizenship may not be guaranteed. An example would be Newfoundland. While we had been our own dominion at one time, on March 31, 1949 we were a British Crown possession and those who had been born there or naturalized were British subjects, i.e. had a right to a British passport...

With the easing of requirements to trigger a referendum in Alberta, I got to wondering what proposal would easily gather the number of signatures necessary, especially since it wouldn't have to meet any minimum in a specific riding. It's possible that a proposal to make the first $200,000 (or...

Real and fictional

I wonder if his role in defence procurement would have anything to do with the opinion he held according to an op-ed he wrote in 2014. https://www.straight.com/news/787466/stephen-fuhr-how-lifelong-conservative-supporter-ended-running-justin-trudeaus-liberals#

While there may be a high bar for foreign trained medical professionals to meet for credentialing, the percentage who received their training outside Canada is significant...

When it's the only job you can get? When we were in Rwanda in '94, we were an employer of choice. There were locals who travelled from far outside the locality where we set up our medical facility in search of jobs. After we had been there a while and had pretty much a full slate of local...

My objection to capital punishment is the political component. There are (or have been) far too many politicos who have included in their platform support for, or against, the death penalty, often because it appeals to their base. I recognize that there are people whose death contribute to...

You have a rather jaundiced view of the health coverage provided to refugee claimants, but the reality is far from paying out "obscene" amounts of money. Such individuals fall under the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP). Fee for service rates are most likely equivalent to rates set by the...

At this stage, do you think they really care? Or that their Justice Department won't provide an opinion supporting it?

As for "field hospitals" in Canada, ready to deploy for disasters. . . https://www.samaritanspurse.ca/article/emergency-field-hospital-lands-in-canada/

The hospital equipment sets mobile health unit (MHU) as identified in the OP were not acquired for the CAF, nor did the CAF have input as to design or organization, nor were CAF pers involved during the brief, very limited deployment of these assets. The concept of operation was...

So two locations - two permanent, full-time maintenance teams of approx 25 pers each; 6 medical, 6 supply, 13 RCEME/BMERT (or civilian equiv); for each kit a surge group of thirty additional pers for two weeks in advance of any set-up for training or exercise and operational staffing between 150...

But still the questions remains. Which government/non-government department/agency will maintain it (Public Services and Procurement Canada still "owns" them, but they're not in the business of providing disaster or health services), and who pays for the upkeep (i.e., additional budget and...

Since reference was made to "Arnold" and the California mobile hospitals that were surplused off. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-03-27/coronavirus-california-mobile-hospitals-ventilators While this equipment (I am loathe to call a kit a hospital until it has at least a skeleton...

I refer to my previously made comment. A building full of beds and the myriad other items necessary to care for patients does not necessarily make a functioning hospital.
