Not to sure that is a serious problem. I cannot recall ever having a political discussion with my wife whilst we were dating. Those issues didn't come up until well into the second or third year of marriage when an election was called and by then things like mortgages and diapers were far more...

The liberals are at least predictable

fortunately, it does not appear that he was much of a marksman.

With regards to Subs, do you think he'd care? We aren't going to go nuclear, ever and even if we did by the time we took delivery of number one anything we bought today would be up for replacement. You are looking at 20 years for the first option and the U.S. has no facilities available to...

If he really wants to! I put reaching 2% in the same category as the 20% raise and the no layoff promise for civil servants. So far, the only difference between him and Justin is their choice of words. And yes, you can colour me cynical.

? reduce your home delivery force by half. Each carrier has two walks. Good deal and it probably has been proposed since it does make sense. The biggest problem is overtime. They are paid for a full shift daily yet most are finished within 4 hours. A long walk is 5. So they are only...

may I answer your question with a question? That is rhetorical by the way. Toronto has been plagued by anti-sematic demonstrations, threats and vandalism since October 7. How many of those demonstrators were charged and convicted and what penalties were the crowns asking for? The answer to...

The crown asked for 10 years. The judge granted 3 months. There is a real disconnect here between the ask and the receive that I don't understand. Was the crime so heinous that only 10 years would satisfy the need for justice? Obviously the judge didn't agree (and I agree with the judge) but...

all cut from the same cloth, provincial and federal with similar biases or at least that is the way it appears to this layman. They are the ones handing out 6 months for injuries to an infant. Our judicial system suffers from liberalism and most people in my world (senior, retired, successful...

but none of the above cases involved showing the middle finger to the PM

pardon me, but so what? Russia will never be brought to task for any of their crimes; the west will simply commiserate with the victims. It is only the loser that pays as Germany found out after WW1. Morally we should be united in our condemnation and armed defense of the Ukrainians but...

Too true! The EPA has changed their endangerment finding re: CO2 which serves to negate all the constraints on fossil fuels in the states. You might think that this was newsworthy. The original ruling certainly was yet there is nary a word mentioned on Global although climate change shows up...

did they let him in? is my question. Did a lowly civil servant have the unmitigated gall to rule against a member of the government. If he\she did they deserve on of those bonuses they hand out to the senior ranks/poets.

from what I recall, both were offering to finance/pay for the infrastructure required.

It has been knocking for 5 years or more but we need at least 5 years to build the infrastructure on top of 3 years to do the necessary due diligence on indigenous rights, environmental concerns, and provincial interests and that is added on to the 2 or 3 years needed to find the funding as no...

By your answer I am guessing that the St. Lawrence locks close sooner and open later in the season than the Welland. The other option would be a fleet of Seaway Max tankers commuting to a tank farm in Newfoundland or New Brunswick. Would still save having to build a line through Quebec and...

I would imagine that ice breaking through a canal would be a bitch. It is blocked by locks which would need to be kept clear and there is no clear run for the broken ice to be washed downstream. Also, your ships would be limited to the lock size. You might just as easily re-build the Bronte...

numbers don't matter. If they control the bus they are dictating the information that your children are getting and you are fighting a losing battle to try and inform your kids of anything different. "What do you know dad?" My teacher says that/... is a line I heard too many times and even...

Hopefully with prime candidates and not via seniority. Most of us know or knew people who specialized in doing nothing well and thus ended up at the top

and they had very little land that they actually could call a permanent home. They followed the herds in many cases or were chased out of more prime locations by stronger, jealous groups: much like the English and French in Normandy or the Germans and French in Alsace. Very few population...
