A Marine (Carns) leaves and a Para (Jarvis) arrives. https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/dan-jarvis-appointed-uk-defense-minister-downing-street-says-2026-06-11/

Several months ago, in another thread, I related a story about a recent visit to my GP who had similar experience with AI medical software.

Will it be well run or a clusterf***? At the coal face on the day, the federal election, last year, ran reasonably smoothly; last year's Alberta municipal elections (Calgary's at least) less so, a lot due to procedures imposed by the province...

Disease eradication, 1963 West Texas version

And Smith's response. Alberta premier says law will be enforced if separation vote spurs civil disobedience While First Nations protest or political action is not unknown in Alberta, the blocking of highways, railroads and other infrastructure is relatively rare in this province compared to...

Both were up at the same time today. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/CFPQL https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/CGRSB

Maybe not easy, but (according to the TBS) a legitimate way to call it whatever makes sense (or whatever they want). Public Service Rearrangement and Transfer of Duties Act Policy on Communications and Federal Identity Financial Administration Act Federal Identity Program registry of...

Some of the nuts and bolts for the referendum. https://www.elections.ab.ca/resources/media/news-releases/important-referendum-information-may-2026/ And among the 10 questions, specifically the one that most concerns this thread. https://www.elections.ab.ca/elections/referendum/

With a few minor differences (a major difference would be Quebec's French language requirement) all the jurisdictions basically have the same prerequisites (universal standard)) to apply for registration/licensure. I would expect that verifying the credentials of physicians (as well as their...

If licensed as a physician in one province but working in another, who does a complainant make a complaint to (after trying to find the jurisdiction of registration)? And who investigates the complaint (along with the expense) or sits a hearing? It's the annual fees to the provincial colleges...

Let's see what the alma mater fellow alumni have to say. https://www.rmcalumni.ca/en/shaping-canadas-food-policy-cmc-alumnus-sylvain-charlebois-class-of-1992/

I could quote or YT-link the 1981 Tom Cochrane penned Red Rider song "Lunatic Fringe", but they are no longer in hiding nor are they on the fringe. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-us-canada-doug-wilson-alberta-separatism-pastor-nationalism-christian/ (archived non-paywall version)...

Oxymoron alert! "Smaller Hooters"

Almost everybody gets a badge in the USAF. Everybody but him. The heraldic device that surrounds the badge aren't "wings" but an "olive wreath" to denote the peace that the air force defends. A common element in many of their occupation badges.

Of course, the important question is, as always, will those who go to San Antonio get bling? Specifically, the Force Protection basic badge. Supposedly, this occupational badge is authorized on completion of the security force 3-skill level tech school.

The point that she may have been trying to make was that the deputy, beside (allegedly) being mistaken about her holding a phone in a non-existent hand compounded his error when he made her swear "hand to God". She seemed ready to make it a joke, cackling when she raised her right handless arm...

I was of the impression that the UCP, and particularly the Wildrose Party element before that, prided itself on being a "grassroots" organization rather than following a top down leader-centric model. Where does it say that? (sarcasm) https://unitedconservative.ca/about/ In the interest of...
