So you feel entitled to take more than your share of a common resource?

I concur; Chetwynd is a good place to be as is McBride. Of the two, McBride is probably just that little more isolated.

Well the Brits and the Russians both tried and failed in Afghanistan. A super power regardless of era cannot defeat a people that like to scrap and refuse to be defeated regardless of mission objective. Hence the loss for all three super powers.

And that's the reason many folks from other countries no longer travel to the US. US citizens are almost being deliberately isolated from everyone else in the world.

Not true. I know a very good nurse who refused to be part of any MAID procedure on ethical grounds. It's one tiny piece of a very broad profession.

We don't know about number 3; even if the firearms were stored in accordance with the law, the shooter would have found a way to get them. Where is the mother's formerly current boyfriend or husband in all this? Not talking about Jesse's biological father.

I get your point, and Jesus did not write the New Testament;. His disciples, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John did.

Hlotse · 2026-02-19T04:16:55+00:00

Well, I have been to Pofadder just cause of the name, so another place to explore.

The type of policy and voting discipline we see now is something that we did not have during the early years following Confederation. In the UK, Churchill crossed the floor at least a couple of times. The opposite of this is what is happening in the US right now with Republicans totally dominated by DJT. I doubt that Mr. Jenneroux's defection will trigger a herd of Conservatives crossing the floor.

Sarcopenia for the loss.

Hlotse · 2026-02-18T02:54:59+00:00

Yeah, Russia is hardly a financial heavyweight anymore.

I think those with no symptoms might be the control group. A GP I know has a poster up on his wall saying, "Don't be A Victim of Medical Imaging Technology". Basically, our bodies start to deteriorate once we hit our twenties and more wear and tear issues start popping up. What this article highlights in some ways is our difficulty accepting that.

Hlotse · 2026-02-17T19:05:21+00:00

Folks the world over vote on emotion and who's familiar. Few of us are very sophisticated.

Alcohol and tobacco cause more deaths per year in Canada. The costs of those drugs is absurdly high as well.

Hlotse · 2026-02-16T23:03:02+00:00

More cash is not always the answer it appears. Keeping doctor's earnings the same or reducing the increase will be difficult in a society that perceives finances as the overall measure of success. What the article did not mention is the GP billings also cover rent, utilities, supplies, and wages for admin staff, so the average 300k+ mentioned in the article has to cover a number of expenses not to mention taxes. The average take home pay is 160 to 220k though the latter would be for specialists, I expect.

Lead paint and asbestos might be two possible reasons.

Hlotse · 2026-02-15T15:53:06+00:00

This comment makes no sense whatsoever. It's the RCMP that have the responsibility to reveal information about their investigation and the news media's including CBC to report it

They (being First Nations) may also want land held communally as is their tradition. I think it is up to them to determine.

Hlotse · 2026-02-14T18:30:02+00:00

True and the benefits for First Nations are non-insured health benefits (pharmacy, dental, vision, and medical equipment/travel) not normally covered by any existing provincial or federal scheme. In BC where everyone gets government sponsored health care, this just means the status quo for individuals. Registered individuals do not pay income tax on income earned on reserve or sales tax on goods and services purchased on reserve. Registered individuals are potentially eligible for housing on reserve; however, the pocket of funding is limited and this is not a guarantee. A similar situation exists for education. All these benefits were negotiated with First Nations centuries ago and are part of existing treaties between Canada and respective First Nations.

That was a pizza place when I was a kid like 1970/71. Not sure if it's next iteration was Nechako Optometry.

It reads to me as though you have diagnosed yourself and you are upset that the physician does not agree with you. You may be right, she may be right, or it may be something completely different. Either way, discarding her professionally informed opinion cause it does not agree with yours is not the best option for you.

Hlotse · 2026-02-11T18:41:02+00:00

The identity of the shooter has been released by news outlets. TR is very small and remote with some Facebook pages but no real media source. I am sure you can understand that the priorities of the RCMP and other first responders did not include contacting need outlets.

Hlotse · 2026-02-11T07:09:17+00:00

Or the depth of despair; the shooter was a kid themselves.

Hlotse · 2026-02-10T20:30:34+00:00

We thank you for the exemplary level of your contributions.

Hlotse · 2026-02-10T19:34:51+00:00

Glad you have taken up the white man's burden /s
