    Making an Effective Case for Co-op During a Subsidized Education Degree

    Question. Is it a requirement of your co-op programme that participating companies "must" pay the students during the work terms? I ask as, forty years ago, when I contemplated something similar, the school I was looking at had that requirement (rare at the time). It wasn't a factor in my...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    This is something we should be looking closer at. The article doesn't reference the former bill that attempted to introduce this, but I assume that, as it is to amend the Canada Elections Act, the concerns raised by the Privacy Commissioner over the previous attempt still stand...

    The Arctic

    While that G&M editorial may contain many salient thoughts, due to paywall, I can only base a response on the few lines you quoted. What caught my attention was their reference to a "federal Arctic policy". For clarification - the "federal Arctic policy" released in December was "Canada’s...

    Captain Marc Garneau, 1949- 2025

    RIP By coincidence, I picked up his autobiography today at the library. A Most Extraordinary Ride by Marc Garneau: 9780771016219 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books I can't claim that I knew him, but I remember when the group for that first astronaut selection came to NDMC for their medical...

    All Things AB Separatism (split fm Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???)

    You know what they say about only one opportunity to make a good first impression? The lingering questions negative opinions about Premier Smith would, in many cases, have originated from her October 1998 election to the Calgary Board of Education...

    Three Montana Army National Guard members face trespassing charges

    You'd think that Montanans would understand how ranch owners in that state feel about trespassing.

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    Huh? Usually, especially on these means, "mobilization" is automatically connected to military manpower requirements (e.g., conscription). However, military conscription was only one part of the National Resources Mobilization Act, 1940 that gave the government the power to ". . . do and...

    That is a constitutional requirement. Read the Newfoundland Act part of the constitution.

    Domestic and Arctic Mobility Enhancement Project

    Connection? Omnipol (the Czech company that Roshel has partnered with) is a leading defence company but they don't seem to have a division that makes armored vehs. The Czechs (like most countries) would prefer that their weapons be made locally, so if there was an existing chassis from a Czech...

    Special Service Medal - Domestic Operations Bar

    Pipelines

    There are school boards based on the footprint of municipalities, but they are not subordinate to municipal government. In most cases (I'm most familiar with AB) boards are responsible directly to the provincial government and though the usual method of "school tax" is by a complementary mill...

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    It would have interfered with his schooling at Oxford (MPhil and DPhil - economics) and the wooing of his British wife (also an Oxford student, and ice hockey player - Oxford has hockey teams :unsure:). Though he would have been three years more mature at that hypothetical election than the...
