What you also could be observing is a blowhard narcissist end running every rule and procedure in the books to remake public property then bragging that it is the greatest, bestest thing that no other president had the courage to do, only have it unravel. Washington is a popular tourist...

Some do. The Catholic church near our last place marked 0800, 1200 and 1600. Only noon is a scheduled mass. Doesn't Halifax still have a noon gun?

And that's the other side of the argument; what is 'life'. A good start would be to re-visit a consecutive sentencing provision that is acceptable to the Supreme Court. There will always be 'exceptional' cases but, a big problem is, how would the system define those in words? Words to be...

From the link: Library: 'You're giving us a what? What the hell are supposed to do with it?'

Around 18000 at all levels according to the FBI. When on bike trips, we would often chat up and maybe swap shoulder flashes with local cops we encountered. One, in some small town in the upper mid-west, was him and a part-timer. His entire departmental budget, including salaries, was less...

Did they run out of horse dewormer and bleach?

Not I. Changes in forensic technology have shown us the fallibility of the justice system. Beyond a reasonable doubt is already a dammed high bar, and we still get it wrong sometimes. The risk to confidence in the State and its institutions, not to mention the people actually involved, when...

Consultation and coordination are always good things. To me, a 'seat at the table' denotes greater involvement. Would they expect the same if GM or Bombardier decided to open an assembly plant (ludicrous as that may be)? Many skilled trades are transferable.

Just as an observer, the professional firefighter unions' objections to 'double hatters' always struck me as bizarre. The argument kept shifting from staffing and availability (what if a volunteer FF got tied up and couldn't meet his profession shift) to 'ensuring the standards of the...

When I worked law enforcement on the remote, fly-in FNTs in n/w Ontario back in the day, all the nursing stations were operated by (then) Indian Affairs and were satellites of a federal 'zone' hospital - in our case, Sioux Lookout. It was weird because a town of about 3500 people had two...

And anyone can buy a vest online, regardless of the animal's training or the person's need. From the Ontario government website:

In Quebec the Charter is often a guideline.

Be a good employer and people will be less inclined to leave. No doubt there will be a crunch - any new large employer coming to town will do that. I'm not sure giving Irving a seat at the table discussing employment issues at another business is a great idea.

It is interesting how somebody with a Youtube channel and graphics software can push out a video within a day claiming 'the truth on how it happened' yet only providing a range of things that could have happened. Silly actual professional incident investigators for taking so long.

You make a decent point about a country telling its myths. In terms of military, it seems our myth is we are, and apparently to some, always were peacekeepers. The military in the US looms large in their psych and their entertainment industry is so large that they get to tell their myth so...

I guess one of the biggest impact would be a benefits and compensation package that has a fixed term and mandatory renewal process rather than depending on the good graces of TB. A lot of workplaces have employee relation procedures that mirror collective agreements. As I've mentioned, the...

Edit to add: I just remembered an instructor's line he said in a Fraud course: 'the reason for seizin'. Part of the reason I raised it was I've never been quite clear on how the courts consider military police and the scope of their authority and I'm not very familiar with their scope of...

Which highlights my statement that what organized employees (represented by some form of bargaining unit) can and can't do is covered by whatever their applicable labour legislation says. Actually, you and your colleagues could have walked out if the conditions laid out in the Ambulance...

The term "union" is being used very broadly. Employee representation can be as wide and deep as the legislation that enables it allows. While the term has come into popular use, police members in Ontario are represented by 'associations' (although at times some like push the boundaries). They...

It would probably know more about lumber than a lot of staff they're hiring these days.
