'I'm not fat - I'm just short for my weight' :ROFLMAO: I went to school with a guy who 'retained water' - whatever the medical condition was - and had to be 'drained' occassionally (he was a big guy regardless). The funny part was he drove a Lotus Europa which was very low to the ground...

Same. We had a Tucson with the 2.0. We did the recalls where they reprogrammed the knock sensor and other tweaks but never had an issue. It was our second Tucson - no problems with either of them. The next go-round the missus wanted something different. I had a friend with a 2nd generation...

And countries are wanting theirs back from US vaults. It may or may not be there. https://goldsilver.com/industry-news/goldsilver-news/frances-gold-repatriation-is-done-germany-is-next/ Canada has none - anywhere except in the ground.

How? I thought the Conservative, or at least non-Liberal, mantra was the provinces and feds need to stay in their own lanes. How do we know he doesn't? None of us know the actual details of the final stages of trade negotiations and what was said by the two parties. Seeing as we're not the...

Unless you grab onto a vehicle with inherent design problems, which seem to be more common now as manufacturers try to trim costs and trim weigh. On of Ford's Eco-Boost engines (I forget which one) had design issues right out of the factory, and GM has had to recall about 3/4 million vehicles...

Tip 'o the chapeau to the CBSA in the Soo. https://globalnews.ca/news/12068519/how-were-kidnapping-suspects-caught-in-sault-ste-marie/

The Bandidos out of Winnipeg managed to houseclean eight in Ontario in one evening. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shedden_massacre#Legal_proceedings

Our current PM or the previous one?

Every negotiation implies concessions - by both parties. Since none of us here know what the actual terms we walked away from are, and since we have not been the aggressor (walking away from CUSMA, verbally threatening our sovereignty, etc.), I'll believe that the concessions demanded by the US...

According to this article, about 1.4 million Americans travel out of country for healthcare. With us it seems to be timeliness more than availability, with them it seems more about cost. I'm curious as well. It seems information packages are produced by Health Canada. Is somebody mailing...

Indeed. Our parliamentary committee process seems to be set up as (a) consolation prizes for members who aren't made ministers and (b) a method to bury something, either completely or long enough for minister or executive to come up with a solution. We seem to lack the ability, or even desire...

I would wonder about oversight. Our parliamentary committee system doesn't strike me as all that robust and secure; certainly not enough to deal with matters that are potentially very sensitive and possibly very un-Charter-ish. What would be the policy goals? Do we want to protect the...

Knowing that you're part of the team?

Do they, or do they talk to a service? If the manufacturer wants to know what options or features I use and what I think of them or their functionality, they could ask - they know who I am. Customer satisfaction surveys are a thing. I've never had a survey from a manufacturer about what I...

I heard snippets of his statements. I thought it was a reasonable perspective from a world leader. I'm not willing to leave something this impactful to the 'experts'. Like it or not, AI is informing, if not making, public policy.

One problem with the 'trial balloon' approach to gauge public opinion is any actual details are very scarce. At this point, much of the general public is largely divided into those who say 'yay' to pretty much anything that doesn't involve the US, and those who think we should just sign up with...

I wish I knew how to use Photoshop better. Ezra and Tamara.

Maybe their $5K Trump Dividend will help pay the fuel bills.

Maybe there is a European solution we can look at. I am certain that the US free market, for-profit model is something we should not. We have the same thing here. The Ryam mill in Temiskaming Quebec has announced a 'temporary indefinite shutdown'; although they are still feeding it logs...
