    British Military Current Events

    One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. While the term "apartheid" may have its origin in the Afrikaans word for apartness, even over a half century ago, when Rhodesia was still a country, the word was being used synonymously for government imposed racial segregation...

    All Things AB Separatism (split fm Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???)

    No, my position is that your previous comment of ". . . there are limits to what consultation is, and regardless of the outcome it doesn't stop the project" indicates that you have no understanding of what 'duty to consult' entails.

    All Things AB Separatism (split fm Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???)

    Your understanding of what "duty to consult" means and entails is far different from what is reality. https://www.rcaanc-cirnac.gc.ca/eng/1331832510888/1609421255810#sec7 https://www.rcaanc-cirnac.gc.ca/eng/1100100014664/1609421824729

    All Things AB Separatism (split fm Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???)

    There is already Canadian (British?) precedent for some aspects of severing citizenship. On 31 Mar 1949, Newfoundlanders were British (yes, yes, there was that odd 'British subject' category which also applied to Canadians), but like all (most?, if you were somewhat white?) colonials could...

    Similar memories from the 1970s, only it was Regular US Army down from Alaska and we were in Wainwright. We hospitalized a few because of cold injuries. Likewise with a few US Marines (though they were Reserves) at the top end of Vancouver Island; but adding wet to mild cool temp lead to the...

    Both statements can be true simultaneously. There are more than a few who've attended university and left with a credential but learned nothing of substance. Some studies indicate that as many as 20% of college graduates may be functionally illiterate. Not to suggest that Trump falls in that...

    FTFY. I was initially puzzled what phony prize the former VAC minister had created that raised such ire. It was the description of the individual as an A-hole that made me think of the ex-minister.

    Religion in Schools (split fm Islamic Terrorism)

    How appropriate that you should use "sun rise" as the example of a "fact" vice theory. The sun does not actually 'rise', it only appears to rise. It's a remnant of language expression when humans thought the earth was flat, that it was the centre of the universe or that the ball of light...
