I largely agree. I wish such proposed legislation was not necessary, but it seems that much of the raising of kids has been abandoned to the Internet. I argue that much of the younger generation is 'computer literate'. They might be literate as simple users, but I'm not sure they are...

I don't think that is universal among nations. Many eastern nations like Mohawk, Cree and Ojibwe used some form of burial.

For a country that has had it military completely destroyed - a number of times apparently - they somehow manage pull strikes off.

My growing-up-driving time in Toronto pre-dates adults riding bikes on the roadway so it was something I wasn't used to. Fast forward to the 1990s and part of a security detail staged along the curb of some street. I went to open the door and just caught the flash of something in my...

Their website says they have VLS. Apparently the variant being considered by India eliminates them.

I don't know the member or incident, so can only speculate. Given his background in training, tactical and leading a close protection unit, it would seem extremely odd that he would live fire behind the line to create stress or distraction. Maybe he's an incompetent tyrant, dunno; but given...

I'm not sure I follow. The SPS org. chart from its 2023 Annual Report shows a Chief over a /Chief over Division Commanders but it's a bit confusing since the newspaper article mentions two named deputies. In Ontario, 'chief officers' (chiefs, deputies, assistants) are not members of the senior...

Chief previously suspended, now Deputy Chief and civilian staffer suspended (let us all guess why). Sounds like a fun place. https://www.theobserver.ca/news/local-news/more-sarnia-police-suspensions-early-start-for-interim-chief-service-board

Offshore content creators posting on Alberta separatism. Colour me not shocked. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/facebook-overseas-alberta-separtism-9.7223966

I'm not aware that there were Genies in North Bay. I believe by that time, the squadrons operating there were OTUs. I'm not aware of any remnants of a weapons storage area.

I'm not aware of one. I wasn't thinking specifically about succession but rather, the broader question of whether the issue of consultation and their 'free, prior and informed consent' is a de facto veto. It is my understanding that 'Crown land' is owned by the Crown, of which there is only...

Or you have to blow your driveway multiple times in one day. My brother is closer to Meaford and they were snowed-in for three days this past winter; the township just gave up trying.

As is the Canadian way. Interesting that the Bomarcs were installed in North Bay (and assume La Macaza) in 1961 but the nuclear warheads weren't delivered until 1963 - New Year's Eve - at night.

The problems with Hamilton, or any secondary hub, was the lack of connections and/or direct flights to many destinations. If your journey started and ended in Hamilton - ok. Also, it's convenience was largely limited to vehicle travel and, as you say, to those west of the GTA. Prior to the...

I will counter that I believe all of the senior court decisions placing limits on scope of FN consultation predate the 2021 passing of the federal United Nations Declarations on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, and that the true scope of the duty to consult remains in question.

A lot easier winters than when we lived in the Georgian Bay snowbelt.

I'm not sure about Europe but the defensive/NORAD history is pretty much the way I understand it.

Indeed. His first term was comparatively benign and I suspect those who voted for him expected much the same the second time around. I suspect a lot of buyer's remorse has set in but there is a non-zero set of voters who have consumed the Kool-Aid. That and the Democrats ran a poor campaign.
