    Trump administration 2024-2028

    The US may have been negotiating before the election, but once the new administration was in place they weren't "onboard with that". https://www.vatcalc.com/global/digital-services-taxes-dst-global-tracker/

    Federal Transport Minister Freeland slams B.C. Ferries deal with Chinese company

    There is. It's called the Emergencies Act. https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/e-4.5/index.html The concept of what constitutes "an emergency" and how the government responds to it has been the subject of much debate.

    All Things AB Separatism (split fm Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???)

    My question was mostly rhetorical. I see the pandering to the base but I become less and less of the opinion that Ms. Smith is only pandering and this will get out of hand.

    All Things AB Separatism (split fm Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???)

    One of the people appointed to the Alberta Next panel was the recently elected (in Monday's by-election) MLA for Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills, Tara Sawyer. On this morning's 'Calgary Eyeopener' (CBC Radio), she was briefly interviewed about the panel as well as her recent election, with a specific...

    Amazing that a combination of 0.8% of the population (Mennonites) and 0.4% (Hutterites) account for such a low vaccination rate. It must be the Mormons then (1.7%); wait, their church leadership came out during the pandemic that it was okay to be vaccinated. [/sarcasm]

    Why would you raise that last point when you addressed it several lines previously in your post?

    But it should be noted that in the general election held two and a half months later, Kesler (who didn't keep his campaign promise of moving to the riding, but instead ran in his home riding) had his ass handed to him in the election. The Western Canada Concept candidate who did run in the...

    All Things AB Separatism (split fm Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???)

    Having travelled (well vaccinated) to a number of countries that "didn't have the same childhood vaccine program", heathenism was rarely a factor in low vaccination rates. In most cases it was poverty. Not only were the countries unable to afford an equivalent program but the infrastructure...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    While doctors have the opportunity to make "oodles of money", it would be an exceedingly rare event for any organization in Canada to offer a financial incentive (enough to reimburse the CF for three years of med school) to a newly minted MD (not yet in residency) or even one in, or just...

    G7 Kananaskis 2025

    It was the cost of administering the program that contributed to CSBs being discontinued. $58 million per year (not including the interest paid) may have made sense in the 1980s (with soaring interest rates contributing to their popularity) when there was $57 billion of CSBs but by 2016 that...
