It'll only get harder.

They have other ways to arm themselves.

While doctors have the opportunity to make "oodles of money", it would be an exceedingly rare event for any organization in Canada to offer a financial incentive (enough to reimburse the CF for three years of med school) to a newly minted MD (not yet in residency) or even one in, or just...

It was the cost of administering the program that contributed to CSBs being discontinued. $58 million per year (not including the interest paid) may have made sense in the 1980s (with soaring interest rates contributing to their popularity) when there was $57 billion of CSBs but by 2016 that...

It's experiential learning. Just like in the military or medicine. See one, do one, teach one. Wait, that didn't sound right.

When the end of war was cause for celebration everyone was involved. Even the nurses marched better than those in the Trump birthday parade.

And the USA didn't want Chinese 5G phone tech because of the concern that personal information and a direct conduit of misinformation will be available to a malevolent actor. To borrow from Newnan. . .

Thanks, a helpful reminder to check my crisper drawer for the quality of my salad fixings.

It depends. Does that shareholder hold voting shares? Do his shares give him seats on the board of directors? What direction can the shareholder force? But the reality is that that your hypothetical "shareholder" doesn't own "shares"; he's a bondholder, much the same as some of us here were when...

For comparison it's one month until Bastille Day and the spectacle that kindled Trump's interest in parades will be on display. Though I've had the opportunity only once, years ago, to be in Paris for the "Défilé militaire du 14 juillet", it's quite the event. Not only on the day but the...

It might have something to do with the onion tied to my belt, but when the only uniform you ever wear (even for ceremonial occasions) is a shapeless, yet comfortable, set of pyjamas and your footwear is essentially a pair of sneakers (which won't aggravate bone spurs) then you will walk the same...

Would a physical Canadian crown be the Canadian "Crown Jewels" or should that be the singular "Jewel" since there are no others. But wait, while a Brit may automatically think of the shiny things guarded in the Tower of London when they hear that phrase, it's just as likely that a Canadian man...

Seen. However, I was thinking about the possible abortion angle that was mentioned, which often has a religious component to motive. So many crazies, so many threads. How to match them?

Or Religious/Extremist Terrorism: Non-Muslim edition

Do you know if the stand up of a Public Health Officer MOSID will initially be done (similar to PAs) by offering commissions to senior PMed Techs who meet the academic/certification requirement (bachelor's & CPHI(C))? The PMeds I knew who got the certification (not a gimme) were usually Snr...

One connection to Trump arising from the Minnesota political shootings.

As much as many will immediately associate a rise in political violence with the attitudes, pronouncements and general antics of the current US administration, perhaps discussion of this latest incident should be moved to a separate thread or to an existing "general terrorism" thread. There is...
