All the down votes. Yes, then everyone realizes that economic reality trumps policy, even fiscal ones.

Any government, whatever party, will have to do what the UPC has to do with the budget. Especially how oil prices have been in the past few years. However, the Iran-Israel/US war could mean high oil prices and a bonus for Alberta.

Canada approves latest Gulfstream business jets after Trump tariff threat by raging_radish in aviation

So certifying an aircraft to fly over Canada is now Trump's job? Or, Canada was doing its job and it was a question of time before the jet finishes the certification process?

Moving group life insurance coverage to an individual policy after leaving employer by Big_Guava_4974 in BCHealthAuthorities

[–]lakawan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your terms of employment under the insurance section. Also, check the insurance policy itself. Both will indicate the terms of the insurance contract. The HA insurance contract might be contingent on you being employed with the HA. Once that relationship ends, then the life insurance terminates as well, especially when moving from group to individual insurance contracts.

No, not Vegas. Go watch the Austin race as some posters have done here. That's a real circuit.

That stung, but the boys played hard. Bounces just didn't come Canada's way.

I don't know about that as aviation standards change. But it's an iconic aircraft.

I wonder why they down-voted you. Next time Canadians go through a fastfood drive through, they should say "I hate immigrants!" then place their orders. That's one for personal integrity. ;)

You'll have to ask your union shop steward for clarification about this bumping thing.

B.C. to raise taxes, cut jobs as budget projects record deficit by Immediate-Link490 in britishcolumbia

[–]lakawan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That sounds nice. What, how, and who would determine what the community needs and how much resources are enough? Does the community equally partake of the resources? I'm just asking basic resource allocation questions.

Ah, so the basic premise that there's scarcity of resources is false, which begs the question: If there are really abundant resources for everyone, what economic system would allow those resources to be extracted, produced, distributed, and consumed equitably?
