While this is very true, the way that many gp/family medical offices run now is a centralized pool of "staff" who work for the clinic and are managed by an office manager. The Doctors, in some cases, have little or no influence on the quality or quantity of work that staff does. So I believe...

Is this because of policy, or because the corporate monopoly of the grocery industry is all about making profits and not providing food to Canadians? Agreed. This is true in part. But is also contributable to the issue of O&G companies trying to make quick cash now and not investing more in...

What would we expect them to say in the current climate? The 4 were dual citizens (which is not recognized by China) convicted of drug crimes. I can't find the full details of what they were convicted of doing, but if you break the laws in a foreign country, why should Canada interfere to save...

To be honest, I'm surprised that the costs are that low, assuming those are for the pack only, and not removal/installation.. Buying a crate engine for an ICE would be similar in price, for a smaller 4 cylinder. Having only watched a few youtube videos on the subject, I would also expect that...

I can perhaps provide some insight as to why you are getting the answers you are from the CoC and others. From the CoC point of view, obligatory service means just that, they expect you to serve you obligatory time. Unless there are medical, or perhaps compassionate reasons, approving the buy...

Thanks HT for coming out with an honest response, I was wondering if anyone in the RCN would actually say it. I don't begrudge the crew or the plan for the experience, I just wanted to highlight that with all the talk of the RCN wanting to be seen as a blue water warfighting organization (which...

This harkens back to a time when Paul Martin took over the reigns, won a minority, and then lost the following election.

Its a great go, but my question is why? I listened to a clip from the CO, and she says, they have done everything but paint the ship red and white to show it is on a scientific mission, and not in the area as a warship or on a sovereignty mission. Given the current fiscal reality, is there...

I was in Trenton at the time, part of the Air Mov Sqn. In those days, new TOS of service were not automatically offered, and there was still a recommendation on the PER to offer them. My TOS were coming up for renewal that year, and I was specifically offered either an IE 20 which needed to be...

Maybe its recency bias, or I'm not paying enough attention, but it seems like it is the same three or four frigates that end up deploying on operations consistently. I assume that doing hull assessments are something that takes a lot of time, and so we couldn't set a dedicated period of time to...

There would have only been two ways for us to develop a stronger military. There would have had to of been a direct threat to our nation, ie someone is coming across our borders (not an existential threat to our sovereignty) or we were going to be a credible expeditionary force putting our nose...

Technically Air America was a shell company, and not a government agency.

We would have to somehow work this so that the aircraft and pilots were outside the CAF. Like it or not, if a human is flying a CAF aircraft, the RCAF dictates the standards. This would overly complicate matters, and would likely deter Rangers from joining. I just don't see a world where a Comd...

But do you realize that the intent is not to push ships through at a rapid pace, but to string the construction out as long as possible to keep the yards open, the skilled employees employed, and way to funnel federal funds through the regions? From the very beginning, this wasn't about building...

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?
