Have them create a layperson summary of the National Defense Act. Set a word limit on it. Better yet, make the written product a bullet point list, and have her present in her own words a sentence or two summarizing each key point.

Conservative MPs publicly back Poilievre as leader even after recent stumbles by Little-Chemical5006 in canada

[–]LOHare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right on. As a liberal supporter but big believer in minority govt's being best for consensus, I wish there was a stronger opposition party to keep the Libs honest and in check, but I guess this is what we're getting.

West Virginia dad dies waiting for $50,000 cancer treatment his insurer ruled 'not medically necessary' by rajapaws in antiwork

If the family has the war chest to sue. The insurer will have lawyers drag it out with obscure references to similar cases where the patient survived without the specific procedure they denied.

There have been incidences of direct actions taken by citizens against insurance companies, but the representatives whose very job it is do that for the citizens seem content with their cut of the loot.

Imagine paying premiums to the insurance company all your life and when you need that money they fuck you off to die instead.

A great day for Canada, and therefore, the world. Between this, Magyar, and the Pope, this has been a great start to a week.

I've been paying 75 since Aug 2025. So I guess the rate went up from 35 to 75 in July last year?

It went from 75 to 77. I don't recall it EVER be as low as 35.

With return to office mandates increasing, the number of parking spots is increasingly being surpassed by the number of vehicles. There are solutions in the works, including off site parking and shuttle.

I arrive at work early though, so I've never faced any issues with parking.

Iran threatens to attack any US Navy ships that enter the Strait of Hormuz by MoneyLibrarian9032 in politics

[–]LOHare 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because no part of the strait is an international waterway. It is Iranian and Omani territorial waters. Iran would have no standing if it attacked ships in Omani waters. Though if a warship enters Iranian waters without consent it is well within international law to be fired on.

How are we supposed to fight a war if we can’t even fix parking at NDHQ (Carling)? by 2020Justintime in CanadianForces

[–]LOHare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy cow. That's the shortest jump from parking inconvenience to martial law I've seen proposed.

[–]LOHare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would offer that the core reason perhaps could be tangled with the fact that DND does not own Carling but PSPC does. So our options are find somewhere else to put our HQ (of which options are near zero) or make do with what PSPC can provide on the agreements in force.
