    Religion in Schools (split fm Islamic Terrorism)

    A little more complicated (as usual in Canada). Subsection (3) covered the possibility for a Province to "establish thereafter" dis-sentient or separate school boards, after which such boards would become covered by S.93. No province that I know of did so make any establishments, but...

    Religion in Schools (split fm Islamic Terrorism)

    Just so we are clear, Kirkhill, by "we" in your post above, I assume you mean "Alberta". Section 93 only applied once: At the original time of the entry into force of Confederation. Thus, only Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are subject to it. Since neither N.B. nor N.S. had...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    And here I was thinking the reverse: that some people are tools!

    2026 US-Denmark Tensions/End of NATO

    But he wasn't joking: Some of the ol' MARS (now NWO) officers were down right arrogant and lazy in the way they treated the crew. Need I mention that none of these NCM volunteered assistance to help enhance the career of those officers.

    1984 "War is Peace"? The Capitalist version?

    2026 US-Denmark Tensions/End of NATO

    What was that catch phrase from that All American big ticket movie again ? Ah! Yes! : "Stupid is, as Stupid does".

    2026 US-Denmark Tensions/End of NATO

    He ran (poorly, as the only person in the world who managed to bankrupt one) a casino: He should know better than anyone that in games of chance like dice, you consistently lose more than you win.

    2025 U.S. - Venezuela conflict

    That. Right there. Perhaps I should have expressed my self better. LEO's learn the "law" in its technical components: here are the various factual elements of the application of this law, here is what is factually required to prove each of these elements in a court of law and here is what is...

    2025 U.S. - Venezuela conflict

    Brihard: you are a cop. You don’t have to know the law, you just have to apply the law properly.

    Canadian River Class Destroyer Megathread

    It would be so nice if we could flip the whole ship like that in the real world when we have to paint or fix the hull.

    Serious Medical Issue aboard the ISS

    Planned for all the time ... just in case. Their vehicle on which they came is attached to the station. If one has to return, all must return, otherwise the remainders would be stuck up there, not to mention that balance for the reentry is calculated on the basis of the capsule being occupied by...

    You should be in procurement. :)

    Defending Canada from American Military aggression

    We kind of signed a treaty with them about that. But If we even just applied the treaty's rule that permits us to terminate it, it would send a powerful message to Washington. Especially considering they know that (1) we have the uranium; (2) we have the scientists; and, (3) we already have the...

    Defending Canada from American Military aggression

    That is just stating what an independent country is and how it should act. Nothing sanctimonious or scornful in those statements of Harper.

    2026 US-Denmark Tensions/End of NATO

    I wouldn't even think you'd need such a Rule of Engagement. It should go without saying.

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    The story of post WWII Iran is a lot more complicated than the Shah of Iran Iron Hand dictatorship and the Ayattolah's one thereafter. It had started on the way to full independence from foreign imperialism, and, under Mohamed Rheza was on its way to possibly be the first successful...

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    Is that a flaw of character or merely the fact that our fighting age population has never lived in a country and in a time where you needed to think about having to fight for your country. In retail, where I work these days, I have to deal with many a young Canadian and many are beginning to ask...
