Could it not be as straightforward as writing a rule saying exactly that though? "If an elected MP wants to change what party they work under, they must first vacate their seat & win the subsequent byelection." The rule wouldn't even need to be enforced from a practical or tangible standpoint...

Would it though?? 🤨😅

Hmmmmmmmmm, fair question. And one I'll have to ponder. Thank You for asking it. ... Off the top of my head, in my oversimplified mind, it would depend on why the MP gets kicked out of the party. If the MP gets kicked out of just the party, I would suggest they would most likely remain in...

All very fair points. And THIS is why it's important to get both sides of a story - it helps put things in context.

Because they get to save a boatload of money by paying them less than minimum wage, and now that the TFW process has become so smooth it's fairly easy for their legal & HR teams to bring them over. Gone are the days of "Can this job be filled by a natural born Canadian?" The corportations...

We're already expanding that capacity exponentially, replacing 4 in service a/c with 9. Not only are we expanding the number of airframes, but each 330MRTT can act as a refueller vs the 2 Polaris a/c we have equipped for that mission now. That's literally a 4x expansion + another a/c I'll be...

Everybody catch that?? I don't speak air force...all I got was we're buying Rafales now, and something about France making sense?? Not a solid copy. Negative on the solid copy...

Boom! I got nothin'...absolutely nothin'...to remotely disagree with. Well done good sir! 🤝🍻

Not necessarily disagreeing with you, but what benefit would that be to the CAF or the Government of Canada? (Other than the obvious real world experience the pilots & crews would get, and quite possibly boost recruiting.) ... We already have pretty solid relations with Latvia, as well as...

I've heard that also. Was chatting with 2 guys I work with at the bar who are both 1VP guys - not sure when they went but they both enthusiastically said they hated the deployment. ... Apparently a lot of 'confined to barracks' stretched periods not as a punishment, but rather a preventative...

That's why I floated this out there. Curious to hear the different perspectives on this. How is it about money??

I was just about to post this article, but the one above is pretty similar... https://www.cnn.com/2025/12/25/europe/russia-europe-analysis-intl-cmd I get the feeling there are certain powers at be within Europe that want a war with Russia (or the threat of war) even if only to distract their...

Curious to hear people's opinions on this... https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/dec/24/visa-ban-for-european-critics-of-online-harm-is-first-shot-in-us-free-speech-war

Tough little ship...

Sorry for the double post, I hadn't seen someone had already posted the article I was laughing more & more as I read it, also had to check it wasn't from Duffle Blog The USS Defiant was the icing on the cake! Merry Christmas gang 🎅❤️

Answer me this here folks... So here in Alberta, we have 'the plastic ban.' All utensils given out by fast food restaurants + straws are no longer permitted to be plastic, so most places have adopted bamboo. And yet at night clubs, we all seem to be fully stocked with plastic straws to...

So I took some time to try and think of a rule that I would impliment, and given very recent events & since this conversation is already happening in real time anyway... The rule I would propose is this: I would ban floor crossing ... - If someone goes through the process of registering...

My apologies for posting that actually - it was part of a longer post but this site kinda glitches my phone whenever I try to tag someone specific And challenge accepted!! This may take me a few mins here... (Currently experiencing what winter in Winnipeg is like, and let me just say winter...

I have to stand firm with @ArmyRick

All fair points Brihard, and I think you may be technically right. (I'm rolling around a potential legal interpretation in my head, which I may or may not circle back to further down...hmmmmmmm...) But with all due respect to you personally (and I sincerely mean that) - f**k that. ... If...
