Reminds me of the classic: Winnipeg - We were born here, what's your excuse?

This kind of algo driven social media is a plague. Google "TikTok speedrun" for example and you can see how the systems steer you towards increasingly violent, divisive, lillegal, and straight up paedophilic content.

There seems to be a trend in the past few years of just sending people cheques as a thinly veiled vote buying endeavour at both the federal and provincial level and regardless of party. Frankly I think it's gross and just a way to fool joe public.

Big agree on this point. Give me a reason to vote for you!! "I'm not the other guy" doesn't cut it.

There's a bio I read recently called White School, Black Memories that has a first person perspective of the process. Not exactly what you're looking for but could be insightful.

5500 psi YIKES. At that pressure t I doubt there's even such a thing as a leak, just an instantaneous collapse the moment the pressure vessel isnt 100% solid. If they experienced that kind of event then it's likely the crew never even knew something went wrong.

I can't speak to any other points but this is being done. We've opened up a new intake for nursing students. The net result should be about 100 more grads per year. I know the Faculty of Medicine is working on this as well but is facing much higher regulatory pressure to make sure that the...

Fuck you, I got mine and even if I don't got mine, fuck you anyway. Not exactly the kind of political philosophy that's popular north of the 49th parallel

I've actually had the chance to discuss this very question with a Professsor in our department of immunology. His explanation was that some people are vulnerable to the proteins in the virus which casues a thickening of the fluid between the heart and the bag of tissue it sits in. The result is...

I'll bite. I think it might have something to do with how public he's been about it. He's a loudmouth asshole who flaunts his position and authority. I think that rubs people the wrong way and makes him easy to hate. In comparison, the established political class who may or may not be doing the...

Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like the study says Level 2 is bad whereas we have Level 3 (which they suggest as an alternative).

I've mentioned it before but I work in post secondary ed, and specifically on the technology side and this was one of the biggest shocks to me. The amount of kids who have no idea how to use a keyboard or a windows computer actually blows my mind. Young people (those currently under 30 yrs old)...

For those unsure what to read next, I present the Canadian Army Reading List (from 2001) Canadian Army Reading List I've recenly finished Call Sign Chaos and am currently reading What It Is Like To Go To War

Biggest mistake I ever made in the army. Being the grey man on basic set the tone for the rest of my (short) career. The forces are small and doubly so in the reserves.

Does this count? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/stolen-rcmp-gun-used-in-senseless-winnipeg-shooting-that-injured-girl-1.3288752 There was another similar situation recently but i'm unsure if that firearm was actually used in a crime.

Something a little different - I am a former Pres infantry officer. Got out 10 years ago and decided to get back in for the same trade but different unit. Recruiting Center: Local armoury Regular Force/Primary Reserve: Reserve Trade Choice #1: Infantry Officer Applied: 16 Feb 2023 First...

I'm in this post and I don't like it.

I am seeig this firsthand. I'm a young guy and work in post secondary ed so my surroundings are basically as left leaning as you can get but even here people are talking positively about the military (begrudgingly). Lots of young people here have grandparents in Ukraine that are being affected...
