Slowing our transition to automation is a good thing. A very good thing. (Imo) We have to find a balance between increasing productivity, which means increasing automation - and not automating ourselves out of jobs on mass

To be fair, $14 million is literally a rounding error to most governments - especially the Alberta government (Remember about 8 or 9 years ago, I think, when the City of Calgary was in the hole for something like $300M? I asked our good family friend about it at the time - he was the Chief...

That's a good question - I honestly don't know I imagine there was a part of the gathering that was televised (and I imagine will help with recruiting to be honest) and a part of the gathering that wasn't filmed & is more 'confidential' meant for just the people in that room. Otherwise this...

To keep things in perspective...is the SecDef telling flag officers to start enforcing fitness standards & enforce grooming standards, and be able to meet those fitness standards themselves, really worth worrying about?

Don't forget "Build Back Better" - the 3 word slogan used by the WEF-affiliated world leaders near the end of the 'pandemic' Agreed. All parties do it. Mr. "Elbows Up" shouldn't be taking jabs at 'catchy slogans' - literally all political parties and most businesses use them

That was a good read, thanks for posting it. Helps to understand the impact of policy changes (even minor ones) - but like you said, nobody will touch this issue because nobody wants to be the 'bad guy' for reducing senior's benefits. (Even if it just means reducing them to what they were a...

Makes perfect sense. Like @Czech_pivo said earlier, the whole thing just seemed counterintuitive at first. I had honestly thought of towed artillery as a relic of the past after this conflict kicked off - thinking "shoot n' scoot" was the only way to go w/ counter-battery radars...

I would have assumed the opposite to be true - that towed artillery is a dead concept in a war with thousands of drones flying around I guess it does make sense for the reasons you stated. It really is a savage war, and a good peek at what peer/near peer warfare looks like now (in terms of...

Given the dark skies of state surveillance looming on the horizon & blowing closer, that last sentence is blunt and true. Facial recognition software, smart surveillance cameras, a digital ID, digital currency...all managed & babysat by an artificial lifeform that can think, evolve, and execute...

Almost a year ago. And no signs of any sickness in the rest of the flock

I think all 3 of these are the case. I imagine it takes some time to plan these attacks, as the personnel & equipment have to be moved into place first without any detection. But the more difficult life is made for the average Russian because of this war (already very unpopular with Russians)...

I was using that number because thats the number the current administration has been using. I probably should have been suspected that number may have been a wee bit exaggerated... https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2024/how-many-million-immigrants-america-illegal/...

I've said this before, but I think the west is going to find itself in Afghanistan again sooner than anybody thinks... And before anybody roasts me too hard... If someone told you in 1999 or even 2000, or the first 3/4 of 2001 that Canada would find itself in a protracted counter-insurgency...

The fact that you posted that image on a Thursday makes it even better 😅 (If ya know, ya know...)

This podcaster (who is quickly growing on me) lays out the timeline of events quite well...

For those who haven't been following this story, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has been pursuing an order to cull approx 400 Ostriches at an Ostrich sanctuary in British Columbia. That cull is being carried out as I type this. For more info, check out: www.savetheostriches.com...

Has anybody posted anything about the Ostrich cull happening in BC right now? I looked for a thread on it but didn't see one

Or the policies of the Trudeau government were so far to the batshit crazy left that Carney's stance on some issues just seems Conservative in comparison... Let's hope this government ends up being a totally different beast altogether. And given their minority status, they should be

The idea was suggested, and is now currently being looked at in more detail, because of the sharp rise in immigrants arriving in Alberta & the sharp increase in crime broadly thought to be connected to that. I am NOT suggesting that there is a disproportionate amount of crime (of any sort)...

I agree with your sentiment completely - buying a fleet of vehicles & then trying to figure out where it belongs in our doctrine is exactly how we end up with vehicles like the TAPV That notion aside for a moment though... Would that job be better performed by a true MBT or a vehicle like the...
