Standard political action: jump in your pretty airplane and fly to lots of different places, glad-handing all the leaders and signing a number of potential but not necessarily beneficial agreements. Meanwhile, the export of our principal resources (oil and minerals) languishes on the...

Definitely time to re-define the term essential service. Ontario has been blackmailed by their teachers' unions for decades now and the end result has not been pretty. Not only Alberta but BC and others are suffering from the same illness. I believe it was Carnegie that advocated for control...

true, but now add the fancy games into the equation. .Failing to acknowledge their influence only gives you a partial picture. If my memory serves, targeted programmes have been found on the computers of kid that has been a part of mass killings. The argument can be made that they are a part...

I really can't get to worked up about that. The agreement was signed in 2000. That is 25 years ago. If they haven't destroyed a significant portion of the 34 tons by now they weren't ever going to comply. All they have done is bring the truth out into the open.

I'll buy that but perhaps applying for the py's to be added to the numbers as a first step. Right now you might get them; in six months when the shine is off and the facts about the budget and our deficit have hit home, odds aren't as good

If we are trying to move towards 2% or more shouldn't we be looking at rebuilding some of the trades we dumped in the process of cutting costs?

If you really believe that kids are thinking up this stuff then I have a deal for you on waterfront in Florida. There are some very sick minds that are taking advantage of modern technology to first of all assess the actions/reactions of susceptible candidates and that is one use for the AI...

use of AI to create the games and the characters personalities that are in them. It also identifies the vulnerable and is available 24/7 to talk with them. It is possible, in some cases, that the perpetrator is live on line but that would only be after the candidate has been hooked by the...

ah, the benefits of AI. The technology has been unleashed and there is no clawing it back. There are a lot of benefits but they probably don't outweigh the harm that will be caused.

time to think is the enemy of good enough

It will never happen. David Suzuki would mobilize the entire city of Toronto plus Vancouver. No politician could tolerate the heat even if it is the right thing to do

we are talking about a pickup truck or suv right? What is there to Canadianize? Leave the radio slot blank for installation at the base and get a custom paint job. Easy/peasy.

Absolutely not what I am implying. It was in the form of a question? Wasn't there another solution that didn't involve turning a potential repeat murderer back on the street to take someone else's life.

Can they hire retired vets. on contract, not affecting their pensions, to man the desks?

So once again, accused rights trump victim's rights. Two days sitting in your underpants plus zip ties on your wrists equals a get out of jail free card for murder (alleged). Not bad. I surely hope there was more to the guards' actions than just that. There had to have been a better solution...

but not from Canada. Argentina will be coming on line in 4 or 5 years. During that time we will continue to debate re; a new pipeline. Unless Carney et al get off the green thing and remove the tanker restriction and the carbon taxes and the long term negotiations no one will put a nickel...

Carney has spent a lot of energy and time expounding on the benefits of European collaboration. Perhaps Germany is providing him with talking points from them to justify his decision

Sauble comes into the picture. A number of cottagers up there lost their family retreats as leases were not remewed

The only issues that I would personally favour going to referendum or those regarding constitutional changes. A cleverly worded question can achieve the goal of a minority whilst screwing others e.g. the naming of Thunder Bay when Fort William and Port Arthur amalgamated. There were 3 choices...

so Canada, with an area of almost 10 million sq. km figures 88 a/c will do the trick whilst a country 1/10 our size opts for over 100. I think we are looking at our requirements all wrong. We are thinking peace with a commensurate military size but as Europe is starting to do, we need to think...
