Your lense may be too narrowly focused. While the European countries that you cite as examples may not be "obsessed" with neighbours in your experience of living abroad (apologies if my assumption of you being there is abroad, instead of you being here is abroad), if you go back an extra...

Previously (three months ago), she said she wasn't a lobbyist, but a "salesman". https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/sheila-copps-covid-contracts-lobbyist

Good! One less person pissing in the water. C'mon, admit it, you've done it at least once.

The solemn occasion part of the day has likely passed by now, and the festivities of Dominion Day have probably commenced. However, from my youth I remember the parades from the Sergeants Memorial to the National War Memorial (Nfld variant) but not any specific celebration of confederation on...

What tradition is that? Giving a free ride to an opposition leader who was voted out of his home riding? And the freeloader continued to occupy Stornoway. Would he be considered a squatter? As for "uncontested by-elections" for official opposition party leaders (or more particularly PM) who...

Maybe they were waiting for a by-election to be announced. https://liberal.ca/liberal-party-of-canada-announces-darcy-spady-as-liberal-candidate-for-battle-river-crowfoot/

The early bird catches the worm. The anti-separatists were the first to get their petition approved by Elections Alberta. This was under the old rules (more signatures, shorter time frame - the new rules become effective on Friday) and should delay any petition initiative from the leave Canada...

Perhaps there may be one or two possibles among the 10,000 voters who cast ballots for "progressive" (LPC, NDP & Green) candidates in the general election. My supposition is that expense is the main limiting factor. Even if a candidate doesn't run a campaign (like Longest Ballot acolytes)...

The US may have been negotiating before the election, but once the new administration was in place they weren't "onboard with that". https://www.vatcalc.com/global/digital-services-taxes-dst-global-tracker/

There is. It's called the Emergencies Act. https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/e-4.5/index.html The concept of what constitutes "an emergency" and how the government responds to it has been the subject of much debate.

My question was mostly rhetorical. I see the pandering to the base but I become less and less of the opinion that Ms. Smith is only pandering and this will get out of hand.

One of the people appointed to the Alberta Next panel was the recently elected (in Monday's by-election) MLA for Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills, Tara Sawyer. On this morning's 'Calgary Eyeopener' (CBC Radio), she was briefly interviewed about the panel as well as her recent election, with a specific...

Amazing that a combination of 0.8% of the population (Mennonites) and 0.4% (Hutterites) account for such a low vaccination rate. It must be the Mormons then (1.7%); wait, their church leadership came out during the pandemic that it was okay to be vaccinated. [/sarcasm]

Why would you raise that last point when you addressed it several lines previously in your post?

But it should be noted that in the general election held two and a half months later, Kesler (who didn't keep his campaign promise of moving to the riding, but instead ran in his home riding) had his ass handed to him in the election. The Western Canada Concept candidate who did run in the...

Having travelled (well vaccinated) to a number of countries that "didn't have the same childhood vaccine program", heathenism was rarely a factor in low vaccination rates. In most cases it was poverty. Not only were the countries unable to afford an equivalent program but the infrastructure...

As the discussion spirals downs to what minority (visible or otherwise) on whom to blame for bringing it to Canada Alberta, the infection has moved past enclaves that traditionally could be blamed for not being part of the "community". Recent warnings puts it closer to home for military...
