My experience is that the folks who take 3 weeks to respond will take that long regardless of where they are. Those folks who can’t separate work life from home life answer emails at 2100 on a Friday because they’re WFH will burn themselves out. Personally, WFH was good but being in the office...

To clarify, I am not agreeing with Mr. Smol. I’m pretty sure that LGens Bourgon and Carignan have an inkling of the issues that they would have to deal with if either of them become CDS. That shouldn’t mean that they aren’t considered because they’re women.

Called it. Hey, I just posted that earlier this morning…

I agree with you to a point. History isn’t just dates and places - they are (quite literally) stories of people. A good history book should make you feel some emotion reading it, and learning from it. That emotion may be pride, or disgust, or something else. Rant: When I was growing up...

Agreed, but it seems like in this case that they replaced one organization with another and kept the same person as head.

So what I’m hearing is “is this worthy of the Emergencies Act?” It would be interesting to see whether the folks who saw the EA for the Convoy as overreach support an EA for this. As I see it, both situations are Canadians being manipulated in various ways by folks outside Canada.

At least elections in the “not-Russian” sense.

I truly do hope that if the CPC gets into power, they do an audit. The fact that the CPC has a decent chance to win the next election, plus um…we could put “F Trudeau” on billboards and not have folks knocking down your door, would suggest that JT isn’t a “dictator”.

We don’t, but until the 1950s, suburbs weren’t really a thing in North America. And people already live downtown, so they are paying that already.

So…why is the CPC blaming Trudeau and the Feds on this? Why isn’t he blaming the provinces? They could (and do) blame the Feds on the immigration thing. That’s at least valid bc the federal govt has a huge hand in that. The CPC, etc pushing the LPC into delving specifically into housing is...

Govt: Gotchu fam. Cuts CAF budget some more Call me cynical but there is no way any govt would willingly cut any meaningful amount of taxes.

Japan and ROK have demographics patterns that would make their countries very leery of allowing folks to emigrate.

I may have missed it - is there more CMMA fuckery from Bombardier?

That’s assuming that it’s all the MCDV (or replacement) does.

That’s why I posted the actual bill to confirm/deny any speculation. I don’t think @Haggis is burning him quite yet - he specifically said “maybe the LPC would do it if he keeps it up”. He didn’t say “should”, or that PP has kept it up. The proof whether it was a slip or not will be...

Probably not those, but I’d be shocked if the major NATO Class 3 UAS manufacturers aren’t considering it for their next-generation platforms…
