I noticed when I looked before at the list there was sometimes multiple prices listed for essentially the same model, often with one much higher than the other. I suspect that is part of the confusion (or the bait and switch). The other thing is lots of firearms aren't so easy to just match to...

3+ decades… last time we were at 2% gdp was 1988 and it has been on active decline since.

Not necessarily. Some models are more available than others (F15 is around 72% as a example). Keep in mind it is 50% on a brand new airframe, how much worse will that get as they age?

Considering the F35 has a 50-60% availability rate, it isn’t likely we will have 88 ever able to fly at any given time unless we buy 160 of them. Depends, I would argue air defence seems to be more important than the fighters themselves these days. The fighters are more for projecting power...

Decriminalization was such a massive failure because in classic Canadian fashion we refused to do the hard work part of it. Entirely predictable result and the fact they act surprised shows they didn’t do any homework. It worked for Portugal due to all the extra steps taken with it, steps we...

He maybe thinking about it but he isn’t doing enough to be prepared. I have said it before 2-3 div worth of kit from South Korea asap would go a long way. If we had done this when I first suggested we would have it by now.

What I have found is usually they aren’t racist towards caucasian groups, rather their regional ethnic groups/variances. Which I suppose makes sense as usually hatreds/dislikes are based on exposure/history. Just like how east Indian racism was very low in Canada until a very large number got...

It isn’t just people born here, I would argue we are bringing in more racists/sexists/intolerant people through immigration than are here naturally. Just because someone isn’t white doesn’t mean they aren’t racist. Just because you can’t understand the language they speak doesn’t mean they...

I would take those ‘stats’ with a large grain of salt. To quote the article ‘Unfortunately, there isn’t enough data for us to figure out if Canadians are really going to the U.S. for health care.’ They admit in their own article they don’t have accurate data, all they have is a poll.

You could replace China with USA in this part of the post and it would be the same. Economic coercion and sudden market loss? Check. US supply chain dependance? Check. Tech and IP security issues? Check. Cybersecurity and espionage? Check. Foreign interference? Check. Causing tensions with our...

In a traditional labour union environment. It has its pros and cons. Con is no matter how hard you work your basically just doing it for self satisfaction. Pro is more job security in general. For those of you who have never gone through layoffs consider yourself fortunate, it is nasty...

When you have a paid off house, maxed out pension, 4x rental properties, and don’t need the money from work rather your coming to work for a social club your financially set. No, I wouldn’t enshrine that moral code into law, but that doesn’t mean you’re not a POS to keep working well people who...

1st there is no one to back fill my position, the joys of being in the skilled trades. So even if I left (which I have been looking for alternate jobs anyways) there won’t be someone moving into my spot as much as it is needed. 2nd I am no where near retirement, still have at least 30 years to...

They may have earned their seniority but it shouldn’t mean holding down everyone under you just for the sake of it. Some of these guys are the most vindictive people I have met, just screwing people over for no reason other than they can. The older management is a curse, refusal to adapt...

Where I work there is a ton of layoffs. I can’t believe some of these boomers who refuse to retire. I get it if you need the money and need to work but there is guys refusing to retire who have 4 income properties, have no need for the money, and theres young guys with families needing to work...

I can be sold on the nuclear Swiss option. That includes not getting involved in America’s nonsense too.

If your potentially eligible for deportation I consider that a aggravating factor not a reason to reduce a sentence. We should have it very easy to be deported if your committing crimes, we don’t need that here.

Alternatively my son has received about the best healthcare you possibly can receive. Born with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck twice, was taken care of then. Then failure to thrive, was instantly re-admitted put on a feeding tube well they ran tests (MRI, bloodwork, etc.). After a...

I am not going to say we are being sold out or not until we have more details. Anything else is just speculation not fact.

The other major question I have which the article indicates but doesn’t definitely say is it seems that this officer didn’t report what happened. From how it was worded it took the neighbours landlord raising a stink to cause it to come to light. If that is true that is almost as bad as doing...
