All good points, but they don't answer the question. If the State is going to ban products on their nutritional or social benefit, look out Jos Louis, rice cakes Whatapp, US beer and Cricket. If there is a market and the product isn't a public health hazard, caveat emptor?

Classic John Pinette.

California is significant to compared to the Canadian market for sure, but less so compared to the rest of the US. In terms of sales, Florida and Texas aren't far behind; and they might be considered a tad 'less progressive'. According to this website, California sold roughly 1.75Mn vehicles...

The American population must be comforted that he is focusing on the really important stuff.

Considering that about 80% of our population in now considered urban, there is still a potential market, but I've never been convinced that EVs were going to replace ICE vehicles across the board. A bit of a tangent regarding demands on the grid, but I listened to an interesting article on the...

I think one of the mistakes the industry made when products such as 'Beyond Beef' came on the market was using the terms 'meat' or beef'. It probably made sense from a marketing perspective but they had to know they were going to butt into the actual meat industry. Similar to fights between...

From Diageo's media release: Crown Royal whisky destined for Canada and non-U.S. export markets will continue to be bottled in Canada, at Diageo’s Valleyfield, Quebec facility.

Apparently distilled liquor sales are down across the board according to one expert: https://ca.news.yahoo.com/crown-royal-bottling-plant-closure-215953862.html

Up here, a 'search warrant' is for evidence of a crime; an 'arrest warrant' is for the apprehension of a named wanted person. In addition to Brihard's response related to search warrants, if an arrest warrant holder intends to enter a dwelling house 'sans announcement' (i.e. dynamically/with...

The end goal is to deescalate and resolve a situation, not putting someone in the back of a vehicle. Trained MH workers have a better tool kit than most coppers, firefighters or paramedics to do that. What they don't have is the authority to place somebody in custody beyond exiting civilian...

But I thought all the drugs entering the US came from Canada. Or did Trump have it wrong?

Technically, the "potential" for geothermal energy exists anywhere on the planet. I'm not convinced it exists in many places in Canada in an economically useful setting.

I suspect there is a very detailed set of guidelines to be used by the 911 call taker, and a whole of guidelines for the responders to follow if call is not as reported or goes south. From what I have read (which isn't much), they would have no authority to transport to a medical facility nor...

So if the output had been lower than projected, would the municipalities willingly accepted less? If the original compensation deal wasn't based on output, why should it now?

"Ventral spasms"!

If you have a family doctor, many will now say 'here's your note, and here's my invoice' (they're not covered under OHIP).

And for those who are fans of unfettered 'castle' laws: https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/01/us/ding-dong-ditch-boy-shot-houston-hnk

Even for wildlife defence, unless you are skilled, calm and lucky, using OC spray on an attacking bear just means you added some spice to his next meal. The appropriateness of less-than-lethal options if often situational. A gaggle of coppers surrounding a bad guy allows the option of somebody...

Places like Muskoka, and likely others, were a blend of Eaton-level and smaller, much more modest cottages. Rentals weren't unheard of but were typically weekly. Periods when the cottage wasn't being used by the owner were often offered up to extended family or simply sat vacant. If there...

As did I, but if municipalities are approving buildings full of nothing but, they they are not meeting the needs of much of their population of couples and, in particular, families. When your housing market is primarily suitable for singles only, you're not building residences, you're building...
