No expert on US governance but I'm not sure the fault lies in the Constitution but rather, the congressional powers that it has devolved over the years to the Executive, for whatever reason. On the other hand, no amount of division of power will cure one of the legs of the stool sitting on its...

I'm old enough to remember the same sentiment when Japanese autos started entering the North American market ('Jap Scrap').

It's never a good sign when money flowing to the State is considered "proceeds".

Trump covets Greenland for national security reasons like he covets Venezuela to control the flow of drugs.

So you don't have to fumble around with a gazillion icons on a touch screen?

It's as clear as mud to me but here is one description. https://lsd.law/define/civil-offense It's a different system than we have. They have a stronger delineation between 'state' and 'federal' law. Here, criminal law is federal (although largely provincially administered).

Really? The virgin birth? The resurrection? There are those scholars who believe much of what the Christian bible says is metaphorical. At the other end, there are those would believe it is literal; that man walked with the dinosaurs. This simply displays a marked misunderstanding of the...

I was trying to phrase that and not come off like I was channelling Chretien. We could absolutely be wrong. Place yer bets.

Sorry. can't compete - won't even try.

You recall incorrectly. And it seems it didn't come from a tree farm. https://news.novascotia.ca/en/2025/10/29/tree-lunenburg-county-chosen-boston If a theory is provable and ultimately proven, then it is no longer a theory; it becomes a fact until proven otherwise by more knowledge. Matters...

Auditioning for an upcoming Matrix re-make?

Not to take away from your argument but your first map is dacades out of date.

If, for whatever reason, NORAD dissolved and the US was denied partner access to Canadian airspace, do you honestly believe they would honour that? And do you honestly believe we could do anything about it if they continued to use our airspace 'for national security'?

Seems pretty modern and well serviced. About 2 1/2 the population of Iqaluit (7500:20000).

It's not fuels, but natural resources is in the thread title, so Ontario has just joined the feds in agreeing to fast track Canada Nickle's Crawford Lake project. https://financialpost.com/commodities/mining/ontario-puts-canada-nickel-mine-on-fast-track While the Ring of Fire seems to be...

The problem I have is the more Boards that are publicly supported, the less any one gets of increasingly scarce public dollars. I might have mentioned this before but one town I lived in had a single high school serving 4 boards, French and English Catholic and French and English Public (I...

In Canadian terms, when the USAF vacated a lot of the Pinetree Line stations as part of the post-Arrow/Voodoo reshuffling of the deck, the RCAF stepped in. When the US left Argentia, what would we have done with it except spend millions per year keeping it mothballed, just to keep it mothballed?

I have no idea how social media algorithms work, but I have to believe there is external influence at work. My FB feed is full of pro-separatist posts and video clips. I click, comment or 'like' none of them, but they keep showing up.

All good questions, but if it doesn't work out as he intended, Trump's ego would have trouble simply walking away saying 'well, that didn't go as planned'.

I'll betcha it will look more investable with lots of US public money.
