That was likely back when they were young enough to be somewhat 'frisky'. The average age now is around 95 and there are something like 35 who are over 100.

It might be more of a 'different people' than different time. My father-in-law was in the Vets wing at Sunnybrook until a few years ago. Things like booze and on-property smoking (designated areas, but lots of them) were still a thing, mostly in acknowledgement of their service.

Some could argue so do we but it is likely more temporary.

I'm not that close to the topic but, to my understanding, the only animals and companions who have rights to their identity are blind persons under the Blind Persons Rights Act (Ontario). Both the person and dog (only a dog) are the only ones who can purport to their status and are issued...

And no matter how realistic you can make a training scenario, there is a piece of every participant's mind that knows it is training - they're not going to die.

Not sure what you mean. Our local RCAF has MPs and I suspect every other CAF facility does as well.

That certainly was the case with the Eaton family. From what I've seen, often kids don't want to take a business over because they saw what dad had to do to keep it going and they don't want any part of that, or they simply don't have the interest in whatever business dad was in.

Not according to this 2024 article. They applied to the Labour Relations Board but were denied. They should be careful what they wish for. Becoming an employee of some status changes a lot of rules that might not be in their favour. If nothing else, as volunteers, they don't have to respond...

Years ago, my financial guy showed me a study of the success of companies that are passed down from the owners to family. I long forgot the numbers, but a first-generation hand-down was 'okay', but the numbers fell off the cliff for subsequent generationss.

If they are causing a disturbance or being a public nuisance by impeding or accosting people, or somehow violating some municipal bylaw, then yes (not likely arrested, but charged). If they are quietly standing with a sign, handing out pamphlets, etc., then no.

Just the term "children's prison" sounds like something out of the Middle Ages. 'There was an old lady who swallowed a fly . . . '

Best as I can tell from the Internet (and take that for what it's worth), Montreal police patrol vehicles have hard plates but not reifles.

They 'own' the servers and other bits of the network and oversee operating policy, but don't own all of the data. Besides, unless you are suggesting criminal charges, the RCMP only exercises discipline authority over its own people. Other law enforcement and allied agencies have their own...

There was a time in the early days of CPIC, particularly after provincial vehicle registration data was linked, when it was pretty common for cops to run just about anybody, friends, neighbours, kids' boyfriends and girlfriends, their own boyfriends and girlfriends. It was just too handy. For...

I doubt it would survive the first challenge to the Supreme Court. I even doubt it would get that far because the AG's review of all proposed legislation vis a vis the Charter would no doubt find it failing.

I don't know if Ottawa fire and EMS services have part-timers (I'm probably safe in assuming the police service does not). The use of volunteer firefighters, even solely or in a hybrid full-time and volunteer service, doesn't really lend itself to what would be normally considered part-time...

From what little I know of it, the prescriptive Quebec model has much merit. It defines both what municipalities can and cannot have a police service and, if they do, what it can do.

Thanks. Ottawa is somewhat unique (probably in more ways than one) because it is responsible for a large, populous city plus a georgraphically-large rural area. There are a few other large single tier municipalities, like Sudbury and Chatham-Kent, but not as 'unbalanced'.

Weird huh? A buddy used to be Chair of their Board. Their chief came from the UK to somewhere out west to AR. I couldn't find the list that I know is out there but as far as I can recall, Deep River is the smallest remaining municipal PS in Ontario at 9. The legislation governing policing in...
