Yeah, no sales tax, but high income tax. You’re paying tax - just in a different form.

Shame is a bit strong. One might regret that a peaceful solution wasn’t available or wasn’t explored fully, but one doesn’t need to feel shame that armed conflict occurred.

Don’t worry - the cyclist will continue to keep their lives in danger by not stopping at stop signs.

With the US out of NATO, USA aggression towards a NATO ally would provoke a response. Also, NATO is not involved with Ukraine. This means that all of NATO can focus on USA aggression. Considering the significant force difference between a non-NATO USA and the rest of NATO, I imagine that nuclear response as an opener is heavily weighed. Glass Washington D.C., then ask if the USA would like to retreat to US lines before they glass NYC. Primary response would be through UK nuclear submarine along the Atlantic.

I could go for some Poutine…

very year. After 40+ years of it either do it or shut up about it.

Use a sextant to ‘call noon’ every day? Lovely.

“Poilievre said he prefers that I stay as Prime Minister.” Imagine if Justin Trudeau says that line and then refers to the broadcast.

Without saying the Conservatives have MPs under foreign influence, he’s able to use Poilievre’s unwillingness to get a security clearance with a line that DEFINATELY indicates that the Conservatives have MPs under foreign influence.

It might be okay. Let people read the rules passed down, as maybe there’s legal loopholes in there that can be exploited. Maybe the municipality can still close roads or remove lanes. Once you’re not putting a bike lane on street, the rules don’t matter.

Trucks often have to use ‘engine breaking’ or a ‘Jake brake’ to slow down. Basically, they cut fuel in the intake stroke, changing the engine into a ‘compressor’ to exchange forward momentum into useless compressed air that gets thrown away in the exhaust. The result is a lot of ‘noise’ from the truck as it slows down. It’s not intimidation, it’s a valid way to slow down without excessive wear on wheel brakes. Or, it shouldn’t be intimidation. In some municipalities, engine braking or Jake braking isn’t permitted.

Freeland is incredibly capable - but can be tied, hand in glove, with everything Trudeau. Actually, the current joke is that Trudeau doesn’t even do any work as PM, he just gives it to Freeland.

PP is going ‘young, hip’ - maybe they could use Fraser as the next PM candidate.

Already started. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/elmwood-transcona-conservative-byelection-strategy-1.7326238 They tried to make “Sellout Singh” a thing. It’s right out of the playbook of “Dementia Don.”

True. With PP hitching his wagon to the SOCAL-right, he will see deflation of the strength of his brand when his ‘Trump-lite’ playbook becomes laughable after a Dem win in the USA. So, he’s frantic to force an election now while he’s polling higher.

I would smile if I heard Singh respond with your first sentence.

“Did you know that salt and malt vinegar is not a traditional way to dress your French fries in the United States?”

“What the f#$% is wrong with them?”

I’d argue the opposite for one reason only - so that I can identify idiots, bigots and terrible people on sight. Any person in government that is causing me problems and showing religious garb? Kick it up to a supervisor if I think I can tie it to poor decision making based on goat-herder values from over 2000 years ago.

offensive. Next year another huge initiative to change something else. This type of thing is literally endless as everything is changing all the time. Sounds like a waste of tax $ to me.

Changing a name isn’t stupid, unless done for stupid reasons. If you have the money - get it done. It also doesn’t have to be done all at once. Start small with new document templates, create a reasonable budget for replacing signs…

Speaking as someone that resides in what was once the Province of Canada (Upper Canada or Canada West) and renamed themselves something else native - we named ourselves after the Huron word for ‘Great Lake’ and that ignores the fact that we’re only talking one of the 4 great lakes that border us on one side of the province… There’s way more to the province than the Hurons and way more than just that one lake. Seriously, get a huge list of place names that are underutilized by all the different nations out there, find something that is easier to spell than Saskatchewan, and send it around for approval.

The ONLY downside is that you’re throwing out a lot of ‘brand recognition.’ I made the argument that the Law Society of Ontario should not have renamed themselves from the Law Society of Upper Canada because they have been called the LSUC for over 200 years. It’s like if The Bay decided to go close all their stores under that banner and exclusively work under the name Saks Fifth Avenue - I don’t think it would work out well for them, and it might not work well for BC.

Conflict of interest? Say it ain’t so…

There’s listings for some pretty intensely expensive properties at 550 Park Avenue. I saw one for over $10M with its own gym. I don’t know - maybe we’re getting a deal out of this. Tough to say with Sask Today putting together such a terrible article.

I mean, wouldn’t the safest place to continue doing concerts would be Australia, where they actually have pretty stringent gun laws?
