Both DP 1 streams would be 12-14 consecutive weeks with the same "curriculum". Stream 1 starts in Sept immediately following BMQ, Stream 2 starts mid May after a refresher to a account for the 8 months since BMQ. So the entire intake cohort does BMQ together in July-Aug and is then split...

One persons "aggressively walked back" is another's "placated with hollow diplo-speak"

@FJAG Further to my last Reserve course offering schedule July- Aug: BMQ Sep- Nov/Dec: -DP1 (DP1 Stream 1) May- Aug: DP1 with 1-2 week lead in / refresher (DP1 Stream 2) May - Aug: DP 2 modules etc. (Con Ed Stream 1) Jan - December - DP2 modules via 10x Weekend + 2 Weeks in summer (Con Ed...

Share the resource royalty? Pay an outside party for something that party has that Alberta needs to generate the revenue? Heresy!

In my near valueless opinion, if we implementing reforms as ambitious as you're proposing then in for a penny in for pound. They choose the 5month stream or the 2+4 stream. Go all in on youth and the two intake models that make sense for them. 80/20 rule.

I get what you're saying and trying to accomplish, and agree with the aim - but I think , that the 2month->10 weekend->2month structure is a significant barrier to it and the juice just isn't worth to squeeze to try and extract value from 1 extra grade 11 summer. Signing up kids during their...

From what I'm seeing on social media it's gone as far as representing a screen grab of the Agent after he took the Sig from Mr. Pretti as being of Mr. Pretti himself- painting it as proof of his aggressive posture and actions. Disgusting.

That's fair, but your words were: "would likely kill any full time job opportunities" which is objectively different than potentially limiting the topline list of fulltime job opportunities by ruling out the relative few that are structurally incompatible (Seasonality and weekend heavy) and...

As an employer I don't buy this- two weeks extra weeks off and 10 short Fridays - all unpaid- is not that a crazy ask and wouldn't be a barrier to employing someone good- provided they're mature about how the approach their paid time off/ attendance otherwise. Hell- between increased hold out/...

Which makes for a weird dichotomy between the parallel discussions of "APP for a more independent Alberta within Canada" and "How things look for Albertan's after hypothetical wholesale separation." The established mechanism that was studied/discussed for the former situation would not apply...

Now that's good for an ironic chuckle. Gold star on the vocab!

The implications of this statement vary hugely depending on what "delivery" entails and what task they're not allowed to fail. Nuclear options for collecting and destroying registered guns + the NR's they anticipate being submitted to the program and Nuclear options for finding, collecting...

My thoughts summarized. Distilled even further- I feel no need to try and deny the role rate and volume of sustained fire can have in shaping outcomes of human on human violence. That being said- I don't think they need to be banned, and don't want them banned. For the very reasons...

A victory taken from their grasp and replaced with a problem by a turn out they have no plan or capacity to handle. Yes I said that. So make him. Yes I said that too. My heresy is pointing out that not giving them what they want makes things harder for them.

Yup, typing 2027 because they can't meet the timeline definitely physically collects and destroys hundreds of thousands/ millions of guns and doesn't leave said non-destroyed guns in the hands of their non-criminalized owners past the current deadline.

No. Life might be harder for the people trying to take your property if you don't act how they want you to act. Hopefully Ford is the straw that breaks it and it dies here and now. By all means wait that out. But if not and they press ahead maybe, maybe, mass non-compliance leads to them...

Interesting thought. Maybe worth red teaming.

To have standing in such a suit you'd have to declare ownership of the impacted property- de facto registration. But good thinking- grit in the gears.

This is a whole lot of projection a hefty dose of irony (the bolded). Believe it or not- I don't want them to get your guns, if they're going to get them I want you fairly compensated, and I don't want the anti's to have more ammo than possible. If I was embarrassed about that or anything else...

This essentially what I wrote on the PMO perspective. You agree they don't actually want people to participate. You don't want to participate. How convenient for them. Your emotion and desire to not participate is keeping you from considering the second and third order "why's" and confront...
