    Serious Medical Issue aboard the ISS

    Not really. While newsworthy, it should not be unexpected. All things being considered (physiological stresses of space training and flight, age of astro/cosmonauts, etc), eventually there would be a medical event that would require care beyond the limited resources in the ISS. Probably the...

    Army Reserve Restructuring

    Years and years ago, in the dark ages when there were Adm Clks (Pers Adm cap badge) and Fin Clks (Log cap badge) I spent several weeks at CFSAL doing Phase 1 of the Medical Documentation (Med Docs) Course. Strange as it may seem, at the time it was one of the most useful courses for me (then a...

    2025 U.S. - Venezuela conflict

    There was one mention in a footnote to a ruling in the Noriega case that the issue had been raised by one of Noriega's co-defendants (Noriega wasn't the only Panamanian arrested and brought to the US following Operation Just BeCause*). Supposedly the other defendant brought up the issue but...

    2025 U.S. - Venezuela conflict

    1989, shortly before they went to Panama for Noriega et Al. I can't find any reference that suggests US courts held contrary opinions. https://www.justice.gov/file/151241/dl?inline Extraterritorial Effect of the Posse Comitatus Act November 3, 1989 Memorandum Opinion For The Assistant To...

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    Without adding other (absurd and depletable) 'benefits' to your list of American inducements to acceptance of annexation/invasion/overthrow/enslavement, most of those have about the level of guarantee as "the cheque is in the mail or I won't . . . ". And that would apply whether it was the...

    Does Canada Need Redundant Infrastructure? Roads, rail, etc. (Split from 2025 U.S. - Venezuela conflict)

    But it took a decade (or more) of political wrangling; diplomatic negotiations with non-Canadian countries/colonies; the fall of at least one government due to accepting rail company bribes; trying to find a private company that would undertake this as a "business case"; raising the capital to...

    Katy Perry ‘regrets public spectacle’ of Blue Origin space mission

    I only clicked on this thread because I expected there to be an expression of regret from Perry about the "public spectacle" of her with Justin Trudeau. Oh well!

    Army Reserve Restructuring

    I also wondered about @Kirkhill's reference to infantry in his post, but without any link to an attributable source I goggled the first phrase. Turns out to be AI generated nonsense courtesy of Google.

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

    I think that the UCP Smith doesn't care whether it is constitutionally valid or not. As long as it is disruptive, it energizes her base. I view most of her political moves coloured by her history as a candidate for and winning a seat on the Calgary School Board (October 1998). She was clear...
