He said he's going to have a hand in the design because he is "very aesthetic" and previous naval designs were ugly.

I don't know if it is etched in stone or law but I'm not sure a special envoy is a position that requires accreditation. Denying entry for sure since he likely couldn't travel on a diplomatic passport and wouldn't be a tourist.

If nothing else, the CRA may become curious.

If there was credible and actionable intelligence that was ignored or overlooked, then fair game.

And we have been just as guilty of that. Unless there has been some notorious issue, they were just names on a ballot, and names of people we've never heard of. At least local mayor and council are . . .well, local. In Ontario, particularly in the north, school boards cover a huge area. Toss...

And never mind that Executive Orders can't make law, only direct that laws 'be faithfully executed'. This is similar to his order down-classing cannabis. He can direct federal agencies to treat it a certain way, but he can't re-classify the drug. Then again, if Congress actually cared and...

Better than not having a barn door at all. Every organization, public and private, reviews its policies and procedures after a significant event impacting its mandate. I think the CAF calls it 'lessons learned'.

I didn't know whether to do a laughing or sad emoji. Being stuck next door can't be fun.

For sure, but the post I was replying to claimed the boards were cowering to the parents.

You could maybe take some comfort in knowing that he hates his in-laws more than you.

Right out of the Quebec playbook. I find it interesting that they want to strengthen the rules about keeping the feds out of the provincial sandbox, then call for the Senate to be abolished, which is solely a federal matter.

I worked with a guy like that. Not the stolen valour aspect, but he loved to tell stories that embellished his decided mundane and ordinary career by hearing the stories of others then making them his own. It was all fun and games until he was recounting a story about some derry-do during a...

The fact that the box was in the Chief's office is indeed weird. I'm not going to make excuses for the conduct of the investigation but document and evidence handling has always been a challenge in larger investigations, particularly ones involving multiple investigators. So has tunnel vision...
