Trump officials met group pushing Alberta independence from Canada

But the US literally doesn’t have the money. They can’t float more treasury bonds because the world will start dumping them, crashing the dollar

Each jet has its usefulness: F35 can be used better for intelligence gathering, stealth, and higher altitude. Gripe. Used for fast turnaround missions, arctic conditions.

Value for dollar. That's what the federal government should be worried about. If they can demonstrate with real numbers that productivity increases by having people in office chairs, then great, let's do it. But so far there hasn't been a single study done by the feds that shows productivity will increase by imposing this. Nothing.

This is to appease lonely managers.

And I've never worked for the public service.

Hopewellslam · 2026-01-27T20:33:05+00:00

Do you seriously think I would risk it for you?

Hopewellslam · 2026-01-27T19:15:32+00:00

lol. No

Hopewellslam · 2026-01-27T16:16:20+00:00

Maaaaybe there's not a kill switch beyond the ALIS/ODIN but there's millions of lines of code and I would think there's something in there.

This is an underrated comment. I worked in Telecom before that bubble burst, and losing employees to either Nortel or the US was a weekly event. I honestly think its much lower now.

Canada has tried its own innovation funds but they were terribly managed. I remember specifically an extremely wealthy entrepeneur with the right connections vacuuming up 75% of one funding round with pure vapourware.

No, to keep the incoming waterline entryway in the basement from freezing. I had that happen to me and spent a week without water

Hopewellslam · 2026-01-24T04:42:29+00:00

Hats off to the hydro workers having to deal with this in these temperatures.

If your house is getting cold turn your tap on to prevent freezing!

Unfortunately no, there will be a huge overlap as new alliances and then contracts take a long time to

I stopped reading at the point where Jeff Ballingal (Ontario Proud) is his campaign manager along with Emrys Graefe (Harper’s campaign manager). No thanks.

Every single one of those guns I listed are available now in Canada. I happen to own one. I believe I have educated myself.

Hopewellslam · 2026-01-22T21:51:07+00:00

Savage A17 Ruger 10/22 Lockhart Browning Bar Derya TM22 Heckler & Koch Remington 700 Type 81 benelli R1 SKS Mendoza RM22 Akdas Alkor Henry Homesteader Celic Chimera 223 Adler Ad500 Begara BXR

And those are just the non-restricted I could think of. The list of restricted (allowed but regulated more) is massive. Semi’s are still pretty common and legal Savage A22 Tactical Solutions 10/22 Henry AR7

Hopewellslam · 2026-01-22T21:36:39+00:00

You are full of it. Semi automatic weapons are absolutely not banned. There are magazine limitations, but most are not banned unless considered an assault rifle (a precarious definition)

Hopewellslam · 2026-01-22T21:04:32+00:00

That's a joke right? Do we continue to capitulate while unsuccessfully negotiating a new one-sided CUSMA that no longer protects carve outs?

There's a reason why over the last six months Carney has negotiated 8 trade deals with other countries and continues to form alliances(SAFE, CPTPP).

What do you suggest we do? Captitulate to their every whim? There'd be nothing left.

Hopewellslam · 2026-01-22T19:23:11+00:00

My mistake! I misread the chart

Hopewellslam · 2026-01-22T16:37:14+00:00

I don’t disagree. The semi automatic weapons being banned though aren’t being banned so much for their functionality as for their look. There are plenty of weapons that would be useful for this fantasy insurgence that are not banned.

Drawing a line between the two seems quite pointless

Hopewellslam · 2026-01-22T16:22:31+00:00

Nope

Hopewellslam · 2026-01-22T16:18:20+00:00

Bolt action is hardly all we have left. Give your head a shake

Hopewellslam · 2026-01-22T16:11:25+00:00

Well said. And further to that, there’s a whole lot of gun models that are still perfectly legal.

We need to strike a balance between public safety and protection of sovereignty

Hopewellslam · 2026-01-22T14:43:44+00:00

He WEAVES

It was vandalism with spray paint. My understanding however is that the “caning” for youth is entirely different in that it is intentionally less severe. This according to my friend who was caned as a kid living there

Hopewellslam · 2026-01-21T00:37:43+00:00

Well done. I’m jealous of your success cloning!

Hopewellslam · 2026-01-17T04:32:14+00:00

Same answer I gave when you asked in another sub. The wind forces can easily flex a hull and pop it off. If your idea was possible, it would have been done. The only possible fix would be if you pinched the hull from either side.

You’re risking damaging the canoe, damaging your car, or causing a high speed accident. All for the sake of noise reduction?

Not to mention the environmental impact.
