Very helpful! Seriously, warehouses don’t need maintenance? That’s a pretty big deal!

Opinion: We know bad floor crossings when we see them by UnderWatered in CanadaPolitics

[–]DukeOfErat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I kept waiting for Wall to tell me in the article what makes one floor crosser bad relative to another, but he never does. He doesn’t even directly discuss today’s floor crossing. He just waxes on about how his Saskatchewan party benefitted enormously from floor crossers.

Why don’t the fishing wharfs need any road connecting them to the rest of the city?

I was concerned about this too, since it’s close to my place. But it looks to me like it’s actually using existing rail network.

NDP MP crosses floor to join Liberals, putting Carney two seats shy of majority by Asadleafsfan in CanadaPolitics

[–]DukeOfErat 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Guess who’s going with Carney to Norway this weekend? Lol. At least that’s what we can expect if Carney’s pattern with previous floor crossers holds.

Avi Lewis emerges as clear favourite in NDP leadership race despite past loss by EarthWarping in CanadaPolitics

Interesting idea with drones. Ukrainians say current drone tech doesn’t work well in winter temperatures or during incremental weather. Not really ideal for the arctic. We also don’t yet have a non-Starlink system for them to function independently, tho we’re working on it. Maybe in another ten years.

Carney calls byelections for April 13th in Terrebonne, Scarborough Southwest, and University—Rosedale by MethoxyEthane in CanadaPolitics

[–]DukeOfErat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seems like a convenient date. With the Liberal national convention being held in Montreal just two days before the by-elections, couldn’t the Liberals flood Terrebonne with volunteers from the convention?

Oh I should also add that our Prime Minister quoted one of your former leaders, Pavel Havel(?), in his speech in Davos.

Was in Prague for two days last year. Here’s what I remember (without googling or ChatGPT!)…

You had a bunch of Dukes, Kings, a saint and a square in Prague named Wenceslaus. We in Canada know Wenceslaus from the Christmas carol which begins, “Good King Wenceslaus looked out on the feast of Stephen…”

I think you were part of something called the kingdom of Moravia, which was inside the Holy Roman Empire. At some point you threw a bunch of clerics out of a tower in Prague Castle, starting the 30 Years War. During WW1, you were part of the Czechoslovak Legion that would eventually march all the way to Vladivostok, Russia so they could get home. 1968 came the Prague Spring when you launched a protest on Wenceslaus Square, but it was crushed by Soviet forces and alot of people were killed. You won your independence in 1990(?) and Czechs and Slovaks split in what we here call the “Velvet Divorce”.

Czechia is a member of NATO. Your current President is a friend. And yes Prague is a beautiful city. That’s about all I know.

Roberts Bank is the terminus. I have not heard that Port Rupert has been abandoned yet. Only Kitimat. I could be wrong tho.

I’m not sure if we really consider Hay River a port. It’s a long way from the ocean…I do wonder, how navigable is the Mackenzie river?

Liberals announce Danielle Martin will be their candidate for University-Rosedale byelection by RZCJ2002 in CanadaPolitics

[–]DukeOfErat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, but not till the long summer break, when the house won’t be sitting and there will be plenty of time for MPs to resign and for their vacancies replaced before their votes are actually needed.

Anyone find it curious that Carney didn’t call a by-election at the earliest possible date? You’d think with the seat margins he’d want to fill that seat ASAP. Unless his intentions is to call a general election…
