That's a weird comparison; no one has had a butterfly infestation of a house that has caused H&S issues, and they don't pollinate anything. People regularly kill moths in their house, and those can be as cool looking as a lot of butterflies. These ostriches were being raised as food stock, so...

That's the downside of having lots of Toronto Maple Leafs fans in decision making positions.

Doesn't a pardon also imply they did something illegal? I thought a lot of those lawyers had been disbarred, but was for things like false claims, massive lies and other issues that were in at least some cases, libel, but nothing straight up illegal on the federal level (because the weird way...

Presumably there is at least two witnesses with his assistant, plus whoever else was in the area. Lot more credible of a claim then the CPC mean girls rebuttal that didn't actually address any of this. Also consistent with their tactics and complaints of harrassment leading up to and during the...

If you consider how stupid WW1 was in particular, and killed 100s of thousands of people and ruined the lives of millions, all because of essentially personal ambition of people in power, it's the human cost should be considered a huge political failure. I don't think remembering the people...

It dates back to 2019 when he was running as a candidate in Sydney, and looks like they didn't follow some of the rule with where it goes and some other things that have more to do with inexperience than malice (like making donations to his campaign that exceeded limits and using his credit card...

Not non-toxic, just PFAS free. It's still a hazmat, but whatever is burning will create it's own toxic soup anyway so why run off control is a concern. For infra, where we can we're moving away from any foam where we can, and there is a flooring system for hangars that basically catches any...

No surprise, the NDP and all the other parties are broke, so sure they will support it, and Bloc and CPC are counting on that so there isn't an actual fall of the government. Would be crazy if they become the power broker again without official party status, or if Elizabeth May can push Green...

Maybe they couldn't come up with a catchy 3 word rhyming slogan; Co-Pilot suggests the following; "Budget Smarter. Live Better. Amend the Budget." Huge fumble, they are turning into the Spilly McSpilly drinker of Canadian politics. Pretty crazy they would miss that one though, parliamentary...

Lot of CFHA work planned, and they are actively buying apartment buildings and fixing them up for some capacity now but from a strict dollar value POV those are a rounding error in the infra plan. Also should be a lot more money available for maintenance, but seems to vary wildly between bases...

It is absolutely inefficient from an LOE and a cost side of things, and drives me crazy as a taxpayer, but that's a systematic inefficiency vice worker skill issue. Coming from it with a industrial process engineering /Six Sigma side of things our bureaucracy is nuts. But if you tell a worker...

I've never been able to understand how exactly someone assesses public service productivity. Hours worked is easy, but there is no kind of equivalent of 'hours worked per widget produced', and things like getting contingencies in place for emergency preparedness, or all the extra work required...

And that's why sometimes you need foam in your firefighting toolbox. Hopefully no serious injuries.

Will have a bit of a lead time, but just the infra side of some of these projects is absolutely staggering, and if we pull off even a part of it will be a generational reinvestment in bases that was probably last done in the 1960s for the Cold War or even WW2. Things like completely replacement...

From what I understand CG budget got rolled under larger DND, they are keeping separate reports to the MND and their own projects, and still TBD what (if any) integration we do on the operations side, or for things like managing/sharing infra. I hope they can keep their own PMOs for...

The same guy that criticized Trudeau for being 'just a drama teacher', when he wasn't even qualified to teach. Also the same guy that has taken jabs at rental property owners, after having a lucrative rental property setup, particularly targetting MPs in Ottawa on their allowance, and generally...

(completely off topic) Yeah, no kidding, but seriously, the Japan goes really hard; one of my favourite Art Nouveau artists is Alphone Mucha, and they've immortalized his most well known calendar art in manholes; Then they also have what looks like enameled manhole covers; Also lots of...

@Czech_pivo that's cool, thanks for sharing! The name is terrifying, but there is a reddit thread called r/manholeporn that is just snapshots of manhole covers around the world, which has some amazing examples of some of the crazy ones in Japan in particular, as well as ones people paint and...

I feel like you can care about the financial state of Canada, while still hate PP for being a know nothing, professional politician who is only in it for personal power and adoration, and will flip flop with whatever opinion he thinks will get him elected. He cares less about financial state of...

That's wild, thanks. It's kind of impressive when you see really old lines get replaced and they are something like wood pipes with oakum seals. What's crazy is some of the really old victorian area pipes are still in use in the UK, but they are these really well built brick masterpieces with...
