Interesting thought I hadn’t considered.
I’m still not sure where I stand on the bill, but I find it interesting that the opponents of this Bill expressing vocal concern about constitutionally protected freedom of religion also happen to be those who are pretty cool with the section 33 override extinguishing other constitutional rights.
All are greatly gifted.
Gospel from the Anglican Compline for today is rather timely.
Who cares?
The times of London. Doing that deference to Trump thing again.
Nobody wants to be the kid on the team who ventures the word “shutout” with a minute to go, and 20 seconds before the other side scores a goal.
Sorry, I lived through where everything was owned by the government, it seemed. Cable TV even, because the people were too tender to actually watch commercial television. The government got out of much, but stayed where it was needed. Utilities, insurance, and other broadly accessed needs.
I know that. Why do you think I don’t know that?
You’re clearly mistaken. He can’t possibly be expecting assistance from his northern neighbour. Canada has absolutely nothing that the US needs.
Problem the “no Kings” movement faces is that the USA has surrounded its president with the imperial trappings for two centuries. Look at the Praetorian Guard at attention all the way down the hallway. In most democracies anyone affecting this silliness would be laughed out of office.
And Rath can’t stay on the right side of the Law Society.
You know, I don’t mind the dark morning, but I love the long evenings. We live 5 miles east of Saskatoon now. And I still marvel how it’s never completely dark in the north at the end of June.
Hahaha! That made my day. Thank you. I remember back when when we thought BC and Alberta were little kooky with those SoCred governments. But they were there every day, and not just 1st of April.
So were my roommates.
Or, if I may, even more importantly: why would I retain a lawyer who rolls over for the government?
Still remember a quote I heard from an MLA who advised that in his riding, the yellow line down the middle of a highway was seen as unreasonable interference with personal freedom. Problem is that since Peter Lougheed, governments have paid heed to the fringe, and not the centre.
I remember years ago when I first moved to Saskatoon, and metrification was underway. CFQC morning program announced
that morning, Canada was going to metric time. 10 hours in the day, 10 minutes in the hour, and so on. I knew there was no such thing, but response was outraged. April fool!!
Understand, it’s what you grew up with. In Montreal is one of my favourite places. I can tell you from a lifetime of experience here. It’s what you’re used to, and I have seen no indication that anyone is troubled by it.
Exactement. Don’t know why they want Canadian military support. We’ll just avoid the big battle anyway.
Has it occurred to you that Ukraine is spending significant resources defending against Iranian hardware? Nothing fraudulent. He’s a hero.
Remember that voters tend to clump in the centre. Just because they don’t like the right wing mess doesn’t mean they will embrace a significant leftward surge.
It may be length of acclimatization. I’ve lived with it for 70 years. In December the sun is up 9 to 5. More than completely reversed in summer. Suns up 5 to 9:30. If we were an hour ahead sunset in the winter would be 4. Pushing it a bit for those who live here.
It’s what you’re used to. It’s the back-and-forth that’s the problem. I don’t think anybody in Saskatchewan would tell you that being on permanent DST is catastrophic.
Saskatchewan is permanently on CST. It is mostly located in the mountain zone. It is accordingly on permanent DST. I live there, I know.
I’ve lived with it my whole life, and it’s not an issue.
It’s not a problem in the least in SK.
Been on it 60 years. It’s great. Only issue is everyone else hopping around.
Or ever internalized a grammar lesson.
