I know little but the F35, C17, C130J, and CH147F were bought pretty much off the shelf right? Maybe the procurement people realized Canadianizing everything is a big part of why they can't seem to buy anything on time or on budget.

You forgot to apologize for them being built on native land or whatever it is they are saying now

No I didn't, I grew up in Summerside PEI. My only exposure to mental health wings in hospitals was in the Prince County hospital, both the old one and the new one. The old PCH mental health wing looked just like any other wing. The new PCH one was more secure and felt like a mental jail. Neither...

When I think of a mental health bed the only image I get is an asylum type setting. Even mental health wings I have seen in hospitals have an asylum type feel and who is going to want to enter that system. If there are other types than I have not seen them. I have had ocassion to visit people...

By the time they get a job offer they'll be 18. Isn't it 2 years now from application to job offer. At least that's what I thought some said up thread.

Fentanyl is changing that I believe. I know people who won't buy from unregulated sources because they are afraid of fentanyl. That includes illegal pot shops that are popping up. There is a native guy here that opened an illegal shop and he keeps getting shut down and re-opening. Those people...

8 here with 5 boys, pfft to you. $500 a week plus a $2000 side of beef a couple times a year. (Last year the side of beef was $1200)

Lots of people avoid calling the ambulance because of the cost. My father in-law did multiple times. My wife was visiting him one day when he had an episode and he was so adamant that my wife not call the ambulance that she called me at work asking what to do. He was having trouble breathing...

Do they though. The last two elections were pretty close, one has to wonder if it wasn't for the Chinese interference would we have a different government.

I haven't read the terms and conditions myself but I have heard that when you agree to the tiktok terms of service you allow them access to every device that you use that email address on. Even if tiktok isn't loaded on that device.

Where did you get those numbers? Stats Can? Media? Stats Can is government, media is bought and paid for. Neither can be trusted. They have both proven that repeatedly. Jobs are plentiful right now but inflation is taking off drastically and will for quite a while. It will drive us into a...

Trudeau's liberals have taken care of the manning issue. By the time those ships come online and the crews will be needed the economy will be so bad that it will be the best paying job in town for a lot of Canada.

Your missing the point. This makes Canadians only get news from sources the GOC has bought and paid for. Totalitarian media control in its infancy.

A company I worked for decided to measure "proficiency" instead of productivity and pay bonuses based on it. Basically our shift was 9hrs/day x 5 days/week = 45 possible hours billable per week. If our work orders added up to 45 hours that equaled 100%. Taking time off whether scheduled or not...

BB tried to compete with Apple and Samsung by building phones for the teenager market and their core business customers felt abandoned. They didn't do well in in that market and they ended up losing both markets. BB phones started getting attention from Teenagers because BBM was usable even...

I wasn't positing it as a superpower, I was merely telling a story of how a relatively uneducated man with a severe disability (alcoholism) could be outstanding in his field. If he had listened to academics he never would have succeeded. Grade schools pound home the narrative that if you don't...

I never tried to get hired as an apprentice. I was hired as a labourer and ended up fixing trucks. I worked at the same company till about a year after getting my license. I left that job and I moved from PEI to Ontario in 2014. No one cared that I didn't have a diploma to fix trucks. PEI shops...

I'm curious what trade required a two year diploma? I went to community College for machinist. That was an 8 month course and when completed we were credited with a full year completed of a four year apprenticeship. I didn't end up staying in the machinist trade and a couple years later I...

If this was the U.S. there would be many movies made about this by now.

There are some but they are not shipping firearms or ammo at this auction. I'm a 3 hour drive away so I'll pass this time. The last auction would ship firearms but not ammo.
