I think that’s the most generous interpretation of it, not that I think it will help tamp down the crazies.

The article delves into the government’s motives, and in my opinion is at least somewhat sympathetic to them.

I agree that jettisoning the consumer carbon tax may have been a necessary move to kneecap the Conservatives…but that doesn’t mean there won’t also be negative consequences to doing so.

On a similar note, the Liberals are getting loads of justified criticism for the Alberta pipeline “deal”…but few people are talking about the whole thing requiring a private company that’s willing to step up and build the thing, which…I don’t think I’d bet money on that.

All of which is to say…it’s a mess, at best. I have a bunch of conflicting thoughts and feelings about it.

Thanks for sharing - this is an excellent overview of…gestures broadly to the state of things.

For sure.

Though to give them some credit, I do think there’s a fundamental disconnect between municipal responsibilities and their ability to generate revenue, but that’s not really the issue here.

intercity HSR and robust intracity public transit are two great flavours that go great together.

What you’re forgetting is that provincial governments blaming the feds for problems in their own jurisdictions are also two great flavours that go great together.

“Star Trek isn’t this, except when it is” is a pretty shaky foundation for an argument, though.

It seems like they don’t mean “bolder” so much as “more mainstream”.

I’m not necessarily opposed to that, but I also like the oddball, niche games of the last few years (short-lived as they’ve been).

Okay, this could be my kind of game. Will have to check out the demo.

The bill covers only outward-facing cameras, not cameras inside the cab, addressing privacy concerns raised in committee.

Here’s the bill (emphasis added).

“dashboard camera” means a recording device that is capable of continuously recording the view of the road in front of a commercial vehicle through the commercial vehicle’s front windshield at all times when the commercial vehicle is operating, and meets the following criteria:

(a) retains at least 72 hours of recording;

(b) records at a minimum video format of high-definition video at a resolution of 1080p;

© has night vision capability;

(d) records at the manufacturer’s default settings on the device’s local storage;.

…

Any recording made by a dashboard camera must be collected, used, disclosed, retained and destroyed in accordance with all applicable privacy and security requirements, including the Personal Information Protection Act.

It’s worth noting that they had scaled Ro’s makeup back considerably by her final TNG appearance:

And how many Bajorans want to risk an encounter with ICE?

The task force is intended to bring together different partners like RCMP detachments and chambers of commerce to help bridge gaps when it comes to municipalities offering military support.

Could they vague that up a little?

They can create whatever legal mechanism they want

Which means, by definition, there isn’t one now, which is what I said.

Maybe settle on Seal Island or in one of the other disputed border areas, just to see what happens!

oh no

Citizenship is granted to everyone born in Canada, as well as children born to Canadian parents who are born abroad. There is no real legal mechanism for revocation.

Canadian passports are issued to Canadian citizens.

This seems like a pretty valid legal question?

Legally I don’t know that we can revoke citizenship

I don’t think so - the only time citizenship can be revoked is if it was fraudulently acquired, as far as I know.

The article does a pretty good job of outlining the ways Canada could (and should, to be frank) make things difficult for a province that has declared independence, though.

I thought it was pretty clear that I do, for the reasons already stated.

we shouldn’t be doubling or tripling our military budget to satisfy Trump’s demands

I simply don’t think many people would agree that that’s the reason we’re doing it.

It’s disappointing, but at the same time I don’t have a big problem with the government stepping up subsidies for the industry.

I just wish it was a “why don’t we have both” situation.
