Making the mayors more powerful isn't the same as splitting the cities off as separate city-states/provinces. Basically, making mayors more powerful just makes them quasi-dictators. Not surprising that's supported by Doug Ford.

As long as that includes Gateau as well to form a Federal Capital Territory (kind of like Aussie's ACT) that would be fine.

If it were easy to do that, it would've been done already, at least in the Maritimes. That area was supposed to have joined as a single province with ON and QC to form Canada, but PEI got cold feet at the last moment. That forced NB and NS to join separately, setting things up for what we have...

So you're saying that it wasn't a wild animal, but an older lady hanging around, looking for a younger man? Some of those kinds of cougars can look scary. ;)

I would say that it would be easier to keep the GTA and the western part of the Golden Horseshoe as Ontario and split of rest as separate provinces. West of the new (smaller) province of Ontario, you'd have Hurona with the capital at London. Split the area north of the new province (of...

Just picked up the new DISTURBED album - Divisive, listening to it now. Really good (if you're into Disturbed).

I've got that one. Pretty good one in my opinion. (y)

The RCAF great coat was incredibly warm. Though not issued to me (as I didn't serve), it was issued to my father. After he passed in '89, it passed to me and became mine. I wore it while I was at university in Edmonton, and it kept me toasty warm even though I only wore a shirt and jeans...

I live in Red Deer, and I feel sorry for them. :p

Do they only have one size of shirts? The sleeves look like they're too long (or is that the look they were going for? It does go well with the baggy, untailored look of the tunic).;)

Americans - can't get anything right. :p Got the political party colours ass-backwards. Blue is for conservative /the Right, and Red is for liberal/the Left.

Depends on what someone's into, they might like it. :p

Or kneel, as the case may be. :sneaky:

I sense a disturbance in the "Force".

Right now, listening to Colin James - BAD HABITS. Great blues album, though that could be said of most (if not all) of Colin's records. Will listen to "Rooftops and Satellites" next.

Good idea! Let's ask the Turks and Caicos to join Canada (I remember that being briefly discussed in Parliament during the '70s). While we're at it, give all British Carribean colonies the opportunity to join as well (maybe even ask the French ones as well). ;)

Scotland could join Canada and build ships for our navy. ;)

Totally agree!

Red Menace? I don't care for partisan politics. One party isn't any better or worse than any of the others, IMO. Those that get into power usually do similar things (such as not listening to average Canadians, pandering to party members, not fulfilling all election promises if not politically...

OK, but I wouldn't be that general. I think you really mean Central Canada (ie - Ontario and Quebec). I've lived in the Atlantic region, and they aren't part of the problem. They're in kind of the same boat (no pun intended) as the west. One of the problems with the Federal system is that the...
