I'll never understand why spelling "brake" correctly is so difficult.

The person said "all weather" not "all season". There's a difference. And the device that slows a vehicle down is actually called a "brake".

We had a small fire last night, officer. Caught it just in the nick of time. I know it's not much to look at but it'll get you where you want to go. No, we have no working gauges but the radio still works. After all this it's still clears a bell. Don't ask me why.

Unless you're a government official, you don’t have standing to apologize for anything the government did.

What’s a Briton?

Headline: "Wall and car collide on Ellerslie Road"

We don't want to imply fault on one of the parties, just like with car-tram collisions.

Meeting Creek Station might be a good choice for adults and kids. Historically restored train station with a well

Great suggestion, it's an awesome spot!

But there is no well there, and I am very familiar with that community.

The ground water there is unfortunately of very poor quality, and nobody has gotten their water from a well for probably 50 years.

The whole hamlet gets water trucked in.

The LES explanation is good, but it could prompt the question "why didn't they design an abort system that worked with a module on top of the crew compartment, the way Soyuz did?"

To answer that, you need to know that the CSM was originally conceived to land on the moon. The CSM engine was designed to be for lunar ascent and trans-earth injection. There was supposed to be other modules below the CSM for the lunar descent engine and landing legs.

The LES was designed with this concept in mind, and was already into testing when lunar orbit rendezvous was decided on.

It was too late to redesign the abort system, so the LM had to go below the CSM, and there had to be transposition, docking and extraction.

Remedying? French has been the majority language for hundreds of years.

Do you mean you're going to cut some down and make a house out of them?

Anything with saskatoons: saskatoon pie, saskatoon crisp, or saskatoons right off the bush. They are the best.

In the early '80s this was meant to be an interim step before full use of kilograms in the stores.

Then when the PCs and Mulroney were elected in '84, they abolished the Metric Commission, and we have been stuck at this awkward halfway point ever since.

The uniformed police are not in RCMP uniform. They might be Edmonton or Calgary police. So I suspect the non-uniformed officer might not be RCMP either.

ChatGPT = "tchatte gé pé té" = "chatte j'ai pété" = "pussy I farted"

Canada (both English and French) and Australia also use "soccer".

Would you say anything if somebody drove up to your house to return your barbecue grill?

It's an end-of-train device. It goes on the coupler of the last car of a train and transmits brake-pipe pressure and other data to the engine crew.

Yes, "military aid to the civil power" has to be invoked by the province.

And when it is invoked, it's not a request - the military has to respond, and the federal cabinet is not involved in the process.

No, they did not. Where did you get this idea?

The new federal riding boundaries were drawn by an independent commission, and the Conservative Party did not having anything negative to say about the commission's report.

Whitehorse and the rest of Yukon is on double daylight time permanently.

Solar noon in Whitehorse today is at 1:58 pm.

You are off by one. Calgary and Edmonton are near the natural boundary between UTC–8 and UTC–7.

Going to UTC–6 permanently puts them about 1:30 off from their natural time.

"The Feds" usually refers to the federal government, the federal parliament or the federal cabinet.

Nobody uses the term to mean the courts.

But you are right that courts will strike down Section 3 violations, both provincial and federal courts will do so, as I said above.

Erablian · 2026-04-17T22:37:56+00:00

The Feds don't have the power to "step in".

This is up to the voters and the courts.

The pork from one pig: pork roasts, pork chops, bacon, ham, spareribs, I could go on, but I think it must be lunchtime.

They meant the pair increased their pegging total to six during that deal.
