Swap Venezuela and Cuba for Poland and Czechoslovakia in this classic:

I really don't think it matters if it is a militarized police service or a civilianized miliary service. You use - or create - a body to fulfill an identified need then empower and equipment them to do it. It could be the RCMP, a Gendarmerie or the Raging Grannies. The bottom line reality in...

I'm not sure how I see any of those decisions as "partisan" within my understanding of the term. I had a 1975 Plymouth Duster 340. Very peppy.

My experience back in the day was certainly a mixed bag. Some handled the fact that they were essentially a band employee (but paid by the province as special constables) better than others. Back then there was no movement; BCs were from the FN so ended up policing their own neighbours and...

Is there any system, anywhere, that has been able to perfect human decision-making or, alternatively, do you have a solution?

Reminds me of the pre-Charter days when certain RCMP members had Writs of Assistance, typically for drugs (NCA and FDA back then). My remote FN service pre-dates the illicit drug problem but most band councils were pretty determined to keep their reserves dry. Because it was band bylaw-based...

Having an oral, elder/knowledge-keeper based culture has its advantages.

And then there is this: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/whitecoat/us-doctor-permanent-residency-9.7055152 I get the sense some provincial professional colleges are less accepting than others.

The left ones (sorry . . . I'll let myself out).

One of the Tkachuk brothers will probably donate theirs. They're big fan.

Is it a problem or a potential problem? Aside from the west coast, of which I am not familiar, other than recognized choke points like the St. Clair/Detroit River area and the Thousand Islands, is their any intelligence that smugglers are flocking to Gargantua Point on Lake Superior or Nain...

Feds want a domestic 'guncotton' plant: https://www.sootoday.com/local-news/could-this-explosives-manufacturing-plant-be-in-the-saults-future-11908908 I don't know the science but there is a lot of 'standing dead' out west because of the Pine Beetle. We have a 'dynamite site' in North bay...

I'm not convinced the purveyors really care. Content review systems/teams or whatever they are called are likely mostly window dressing. Musk seems to be okay with AI creating child porn. When only a handful of people own a megaphone, they think unfettered free speech is a good thing. It...

Or a poison umbrella dart. Their climate dictates umbrellas are common and others have perfected the technique.

A lot of this recent discussion probably belongs in the 'Ontario Government' thread, but anyway . . . I will grant that Ford will pivot in the fact of public opposition or when caught with his thumb on the scales (like his remark during the election about opening up the Greenbelt), but that...

I have friends who moved from Dufferin County to rural Sault Ste. Marie. I imagine they made out like bandits.

So if the importers pass the tariff cost onto the retailers, who pass the cost onto the customers, who likely have no record of the cumulative tariff costs of all the stuff they bought over the past year+, how can any of the 'front-end' levels claim financial loss unless they can establish that...

Don Cherry is an elocutionist compared to this guy.

That's mostly an American thing and largely highlighted by TV.
