    Contributed to what? If one defines "social support programs" as what was once called "welfare", there is no fund into which individuals pay for qualification unlike EI (a federal program) or CPP (another federal program). If one uses provincial income tax paid (the only 'fund' that Alberta...

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

    On a different track, had contemplated the possibility of a complaint against Rath to the Law Society of Alberta that he was violating the "Oath of Allegiance" that was required of lawyers for membership and admission to the bar. Unfortunately, that requirement for an oath was recently ruled in...

    The "Nursing Officer" Merged Thread

    Probably not a realistic progression today; in 20 years time (unless the Earth shifts on its axis) possibly still not realistic. A couple of charts from a 2021 Joint Command and Staff Programmme paper (written by a senior nursing officer) may give you an indication of the number of positions...

    Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    One of the damning "political charged" question and answer events. So if a politician answers a question about a campaign at a government funded event, it's illegal?

    British Military Current Events

    What do other "middle power" countries do differently than Canada when their citizens are "illegally incarcerated" that make us the "laughing stock of the G20"? Or even great power countries? The superpowers are a differently kettle of fish, at least one of them currently being the most often...
