It's probably better to just use existing federal-provincial funding arrangements and let the provinces buy what they like. Maybe PEI would want a couple of Air Tractors. Involving the feds directly leaves us vulnerable to Bombardier drawing a picture of a plane dropping water and declaring...

The value of any mineral depends on the purity of the mineral, the cost to get it out of the ground, refine it and get it to market at a price the market is willing to pay. Then again, quantity has its own quality. There are known sites of iron ore in Ontario but they are not economical to...

Fair, but you (and I) are on private, closed systems. Once it is owned and operated by a third party and serves multiple residents, it's a public system, and I think chlorination is standard now. Somewhat similar to the arguments for and against uniformed police school 'resource' officers. To...

If any kind of firearm, once they retrieve said firearm from an approved locked container, along with the ammunition from a separate locked container. By that time, I suspect the intruder is already back home in bed. There is a difference between "property" and "dwelling house". Trespassing on...

My understanding is the scope of presidential executive order is limited to the operation of the federal government and its departments. I'm not aware he has the authority to make law. Then again, the courts, many states and Congress seem to have rendered themselves irrelevant in the face of...

We've been there a couple of times on bike trips. There 'typical' bacon-n-eggs breakfast was generous but not outrageous, but one of the guys ordered a side order of bacon, thinking if would be 4 or 5 rashers. It was a pound. I'm not that well travelled but have been told that 'generous'...

Christian Nationalism

Under federal or provincial ownership? Two to PEI and two to Ontario? Hmmm. What would Toronto do with 2 water bombers?

Back in the days when most FNs were nomadic or semi-nomadic, there was little sanitation issue when a family or two drank from the river for a short while before moving on. It became more of an issue when they were brought together in numbers to a fixed location. No doubt some of the locations...

My curiosity wasn't with the skirt worn by the Premier, but comments quoted in the article: As @Booter points out, the FN community has a range of cultural and political views jut like every other culture, but it's the noisy voices' that try to, and often succeed, in driving public policy.

Similar to Chick-Fil-A with their wearing of the owner's conservative Christian beliefs on their sleeve. I see images like that and am reminded why people in parts of the US look like they do. I've been into a place (non-chain) called Tony's I-75 in Birch Run Michigan. They go through 11,000...

I've noticed that in the past. I thought their external ID used to say 'federal agent". Maybe they decided that 'police' is damned near universally rcognized, even in non-roman alphabet countries.

It seems FN invented horizontal stripes. When everything is 'sacred' nothing is sacred. https://www.aptnnews.ca/national-news/alberta-premier-danielle-smith-wearing-ribbon-skirt-sparks-controversy/

A the public outcry from this case was the impetus for the 2012 change: https://archive.ph/3racP

NG in DC to be armed: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/national-guard-members-on-dc-streets-for-trumps-crackdown-will-soon-be-armed-military-says I mean, why not. Who in the US isn't?

At least he doesn't have to move. He never left Stornoway. It will be interesting to see how time he spends in his new riding.

I'm actually kinda surprised. The county forests in Simcoe and, from what I have seen, Dufferin, are logged on an ongoing basis. Most were planted in Red Pine which are getting new EOL. Thinning allows other species to take hold. We used to live near a Simcoe County waste transfer facility...

The next shoe will be a dead federal agent or two busting into private property no-knock and no warrant meeting somebody standing their ground.
