    Did you want to join the army growing up?

    Sligtly different for me, I grew up distantly aware of the military but never really considered it for myself. Then Afghanistan happened and I decided I wanted to get involved. I left when that mission ended because I figured there'd be nothing to do and I hated the idea of being in a military...

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    I work in tech and though I'm not invovled directly with any aquisition, I've seen us move from having litterally several dozen products and vendors all manually tied into each other to just a handful of vendors (mostly Microsoft). The 99% perfectness of a bespoke solution just became too...

    A Deeply Fractured US

    I'm no legal eagle so I'll assume you're correct. My question is, why do people continue to tie their horse to this particular post? Several people in his entourage are now admitting to crimes against the democratic process. Is it really that conceivable that these individuals all did this of...

    Federal Government & Union spar over returning to office

    FWIW I can anecdotally confirm what that article is saying but I'd like to add something I think a lot of people are suspecting. For context, my team is 15 people and we have gone from full remote to hybrid and now back to full in person. Our takeaway is as follows; our best employees were...

    Cost of housing in Canada

    I don't necessarily disagree but I think it's more fundamental than that - people don't know what it MEANS to live in their means. There is no financial education of any kind at any level. If you don't understand interest rates, compounding savings or even the most barebones basic budgetting...
