I was going to post over in the CPC thread in response to some of the comments about Carney, but realized this is the more appropriate place. On this forum, reading the comments of both ardent CPC supporters, and those who lean towards the LPC, one gets the impression that Mark Carney is the de...

Neither the Liberals nor the Conservatives are focusing on what the real issue is. We can get all the nice shiny toys we want for the CAF or the CCG, but where are the people coming from to operate, maintain, and support the capabilities? The great plan to open recruitment to permanent resident...

I believe that in may cases, Foreign Aid is really just the US way of bribing nations to get what they want, or turn a blind eye to what they are doing in their country. The down side is they don't track what the money is really used for, which leads in many cases to individuals growing their...

I was doing some investigating into Trump's new administration, to get a feel of what his list of appointees would look like. One might assume that he would have straight white guys across the board, with all this talk of rolling back DEI. However, out of the 23 nominations I found, 11 do not...

Dentists?

Question: Are Lesbian couples not recognized in Federal law by the US? By reading the strict way this is worded, if the non-American female spouse of a female US citizen were to give birth in the US, that child would not automatically entitled to US citizenship?

If you watch the Caleb Hammer clip posted in the Cost of Housing discussion, you'll see how this train of thought (let's rely on our nation's natural resources) will continue to stagnate our economy, and we'll continue to move closer to our African cousins as a country.

Most reputable panel suppliers warranty their product for a period of 25 years, which means they will still produce 80% of the initial capacity in year 25. They don't need to be scrapped after that, it then just becomes a game of diminishing returns.

There would be a very unpopular way to make this policy work. Make all accommodations fall under the authority of one organization. That would then put single quarters as an option for the authority to consider when providing for accommodation based on family size. Currently, because CFHA...

So, in my case, living on an acreage, I wouldn't do a roof system, but a separate stand, but I understand what you are saying. That said, there are points in homeownership that making the change may make sense. If I were doing a large renovation for instance, the disruption would already be...

I love my 2500HD Diesel. I bought it to pull my fifth wheel, and to have when I needed the extra size and power, which is in truth a rarity. It is really just a commuter for me most days. I did some quick math. We'll say the cost of my truck and a new Electric truck is a wash. If I put 30K Km on...

Given all the other things that the collective "we" want the CPC to fix, this will likely drop further down the list. It won't be an issue in the next election for them, they don't need the gun owner vote. They can just not push to enforce the OICs by law enforcement, which in the end makes both...

Vaccines are like any other medication. It is a game of numbers. 1 out of x may have a severe reaction, but some number greater than x will likely die or have severe lifelong issues if they contract the actual disease. The question becomes whether as a parent you are willing to roll the dice...

Hey, I'm not saying they should be banning anything, or reducing magazine capacities. Nor am I saying that there is no cross over between the many reasons individuals are gun owners/lovers. I love shooting when I get the opportunity. I prefer that over hunting in all honesty. I don't currently...

Ref the highlighted part. I would argue that true hunters would say that if you need more than five rounds, you are a shooter, and not a hunter. I'm not advocating for the reductions, the restrictions, the bans etc., but I think we also need to be honest about who is most opposed to these...

This is unfortunately not a new story. About 5 years ago I remember seeing the same issue, unionized employees running the Tim's in a hospital, it losing money and having to be closed. Smart unions years ago would have seen that some sort of clause was added to not allow outside contracted...

I would like to see the breakdown of those raw numbers in to casual, term, and indeterminate positions. Snooping around on some the Public Service online groups, it appears there has been a very large increase in the number of term employees hired to staff the multiple call centers that they...

While I think 80% of the time, private delivery companies are better than Canada Post, the mindset that HB speaks too, that hustle to make more money, is at times the biggest drawback of private companies when compared to CP. Canada Post is concerned about providing a service, and are mandated...

Perhaps wings in the air would be better than boots on the ground. But good luck getting TC to approve anything that is outside the norm for flight operations.

One of the other things I read online is CRA have a lot of indeterminate employees in acting positions, and hire terms in behind them. There is an expectation that many of those indeterminates will need to return to their substantive positions in order to get the actual work done.
