Is the source more like JFC Fuller, or more like the Legion of Frontiersmen?

Making the case to make it harder for any government in Canada to get information from any company, also.

All the more reason to figure out how to work through it now. A messy referendum in doubt will be easier to deal with than any future election in doubt, and may yield mitigation measures for the latter.

Stipulating that I haven't read into the details of the breach, I assume it is information relevant to any future elections. Can't hold off on any kind of voting forever; might as well start dealing with the problem now.

Hold a vote. It looks like an easy win and achieves a useful aim, and is comparatively low-cost. Some "separatists" are just fanning the flames to grease further assertion of provincial rights within Canada, not to grease secession. It's a political play. Governments that want fewer furballs...

You can call it what you want, but it's an historical fact that various groups opposed to one thing or another protest government backing - aerospace, oil&gas, automotive, mining, etc. O&G isn't some kind of special thing, although if you haven't read or seen any people protesting the other...

Huh. Eby's government should legislate wildfire bans.

Probably not that entire distance. Cloud formations come in from the west (Pacific), and if they aren't high enough to pass over the mountains, they bottleneck and concentrate at the head of the Fraser Valley, which is Hope. (Travel through during a rainstorm sometime so you can experience the...

I repeatedly return to that point: Canada is next to the US and is going to have to figure out a way to compete with the US if it doesn't want to bleed people and ideas to the US (a problem faced by most countries around the globe, but most don't share a language and substantial part of their...

Cannot take the claim seriously when the people advancing it only occasionally admit that figure is a sum of subsidies, loans and guarantees, and tax breaks, without anyone making it easy to find the true subsidy amount all by itself. It is deceitful to bundle up several things in a package and...

We don't "let" others add that value. We just don't compete effectively. If someone else is going to buy our raw materials and turn out finished products cheaper than we will, someone else is likely to end up with the contracts. Whether Canadians can compete effectively and efficiently...

And now a US-based group (Sinixt) is asserting legal rights in Canada. It doesn't really matter what their prospects of success are; there shouldn't be any foundation for this at all. It just gets better and better. Meanwhile, we can afford to wait a few months to sort all this shit out.

Rick Mercer.

Congress will presumably act quickly to stamp out such insider trading. It certainly has the legal authority to legislate away such competition.

Why worry? Trump has done in a couple of months what three decades of climate alarmist eco-zealotry failed to achieve. Reducing fossil fuel use is (supposedly) a good thing. Much of public sentiment and political expression is behind it. Bells should be ringing in the streets. Meanwhile...

Not very. Until about 2021, China's GDP as a share of US GDP was climbing, peaked around 78% of US GDP, and has since declined to about 64%. That doesn't mean China is failing; it does mean the US is running away from China (and every other country).

Again, I don't care because that scenario has nothing to do with the one I'm writing about. Almost every war that lasts more than about 3 to 6 months becomes a war of attrition, and then it's almost all about GDP. (Enough attrition, and will dissolves along with capability.) Attrition also...

With a few of the more common cancer types moving down from the 50-and-over bracket into the 30-50 bracket (and younger), people are going to be more interested in actually having a GP and having timely access to the first gateway (diagnosis) to receiving treatment. Or at least they should be...

The free healthcare isn't flowing as well as it used to. Eventually enough people will notice and demand some kind of change.

Why would Canada try to fight a land war in Asia? Absurd. I have no interest in that contingency. Either European NATO respects every member, or it might as well admit that it isn't really an alliance and every member is at risk of being defeated in detail in a one-on-one. That would be...
