And now the judge they stalked has been named to the Supreme Court. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/supreme-court-canada-glenn-joyal-nominated-9.7244286

Good. So the Church of Satan can install statues of Baphomet on public schools then.

Dumping them on Vancouver Island has the added benefit of pissing off the BC Government.

Original scope for CC150 replacement I believe was 1:1 (although even that represents, in raw volumes, a capability increase). Expanding the purchase to nine a/c occurred as part of a generational plan to reach 2%. That generational plan was accelerated. So even that capacity growth was...

Only island Canada has that we control that's big enough and not joined by land or a bridge (PEI and Cape Breton escape!) would be Vancouver Island.

Lettuce begin to watch!

Canada is an odd collection of religious legislation that's internally contradictory. We fund separate schools for a religious group we then by law exclude from the monarchy. One province prohibits public displays of religion while spending millions to maintain old religious buildings.

Corporations collaborating on workforce management is never for the benefit of workers. It's how they suppress wages. It's how they extort funds from governments. It's how they get legislation passed to restrict labour rights. It's how they arrange to import labour from offshore. But...

It's not just Irving. National champions have access to political leadership who intervene on their behalf. Contract delays are ignored or embraced; contracts written that transfer labour rate volatility to the Crown instead of leaving them with the vendor... Plenty of ways to transfer wealth...

As long as the GoC refuses to enforce contract terms and conditions this will continue.

A road rage incident in Ontario involving an off-duty cop. You'll never guess which service he's with. Oh, never mind. He's with OPS. Of course he's from Ottawa. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/ottawa-police-staff-sergeant-charged-with-assault-9.7242427

The Navy will fight to maintain tradition above operational effectiveness almost as hard as it will fight to maintain parking privileges for seniors in Halifax.

Good news! The owner of the company who did a shoddy job refinishing the Lincoln Memorial (the aptly named Greenwater Services), who is a Mar A Largo neighbor to POTUS 45/47, was previously convicted of bribery, but the good news is that he bribed an Ohio Democrat, not a Republican...

Note that OPS had reasonable grounds to lay criminal charges for illegal access to CPIC and chose not to do so. In the disciplinary action, OPS agreed to a demotion and did not demand termination. Those are choices. Choices that say a lot about the organizational culture at OPS.

Deputy Chief of Ottawa's police force says that the organizational culture is the problem. “It is not a few bad apples,” Ferguson said. “It is a culture that has allowed this, permitted people to do things and others not speaking up.”...

Against other staff ;) ?

You mean make plans for the weekend?

Good to know that Iran's ballistic missiles are the good kind of missile, not the bad kind of missile.

Apparently it's a bylaw offence to insult a police officer in Quebec City (and other communities in Quebec as well). https://archive.is/H6q4Z

Yeah - I was approaching it from the "Didn't know it was an IPP's residence" perspective. My assumption would be (in many cases) that the employer of the shooter would not necessarily give them that level of detail - OPSEC is a thing.
