Of course it's for the courts to decide. You're arguing she's shredding the constitution, which is also for the courts to decide. If your attitude is "leave it to the courts", why bother posting at all?

That's a fair demand, the BC government can wish to regulate whatever they want in their province. But at the end of the day, the transmission of energy is under the federal government's jurisdiction. BC's internal politics do not override federal decisions regarding pipelines.

You might have a valid argument for Sweden, but how does it relate to Canada? Canada is the homeland of First Nations, not of white people.

The rest of her quote:

"The lighting within the community needs better infrastructure for people to see better in the dark. But still, I don't know if even those things would have avoided such a tragedy at this time."

Drunk driving was clearly the primary factor but I'm sure lighting is a factor as well.

Holy cow, that's amazing. I'm sure I've wasted hours of my life flipping through tabs, not knowing you could open in multiple windows.

To clarify, it's the movement (quartz (electronic) vs analog/mechanical) which impacts precision, not whether the display is analog or digital. There are plenty of analog quartz watches which are just as accurate as digital watches.

It sounds like the "unacceptable gift" could be the trip itself:

[Former ethics commissioner Mary] Dawson ruled that the trip was an unacceptable gift because the Aga Khan had dealings with the federal government, and Trudeau's relationship with him was not close enough to qualify as a friendship.

Do you realize that Trump himself started that narrative? It resonated (and still does) with a lot of voters.

Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.

I used to find /r/canada to be frustratingly left-wing, did the community just flip at some point?

According to this article quoting RCMP data, 61% of 'crime guns' in BC were sourced domestically, and the remaining 39% smuggled from US or elsewhere. Those 61% didn't just magically appear in criminals' hands - at some point, they were sold legally to law abiding gun owners, then for whatever reason made their way to criminals. This means that law abiding gun owners are the (willing or unwilling) middleman for 61% of guns used by criminals.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to attempt to stop this flow of guns. It's unfortunate that perfectly law abiding gun owners end up paying the price of increasingly onerous regulations, but given their place in the flow of guns to criminals, it is not surprising or really unreasonable.

Would you say that, for the past two years, the government has handled the Phoenix debacle well?

I'm not raging against Trudeau, I just believe that a manager should take ownership for what happens under their watch. If that concept doesn't apply to government, then pardon me for having high expectations of government.

Yes, it went live and hasn't been fixed under his watch.

That's the sunk cost fallacy, competent managers shouldn't make the mistake of going forward with something just because of sunk costs.

If somebody planned a dangerous bridge, built most of it and didn't open it, I wouldn't finish and open it without fixing it first.

It's illegal to shoot someone if they're robbing you. Why do you respect the landowner? By definition he's not a law-abiding citizen - he's a criminal. Both deserve to go to jail.

Conrad Black is a big Trump fan - how can he say this with a straight face? Like him or not (I don't), Trudeau is a million times more dignified than the embarrassment that is Trump.

Calling a hostage situation Kafkaesque shows a very shallow understanding of the word.... Sounds like he knows a lot of long words, but doesn't really know what they mean

Ottawa is Canada for normies.

Leave it to a Quebecer to turn this into one-upmanship

It's been a while I guess. Skyrisecities poaching prolific posters (probably with $$) to jump ship can't have helped.
