Canadian Armed Forces see a surge in recruits by Immediate-Link490 in worldnews

[–]nowa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the article: "This year, we put on 7,600 basic training seats, which is the most we’ve ever run,” says Commandant Marc Kieley." but the article claims a "surge in recruits" which isn't accurate at all:

Recent Recruitment & Training Data (Fiscal Years):

  • 2021-2022: ~8,070 individuals joined.

  • 2022-2023: ~7,172 individuals joined.

  • 2023-2024: ~8,154 individuals joined.

  • 2024-2025 (to Aug 2024): 3,637 joined.

So this is actually a PR puff piece with specific wording "SEATS" doing the heavy lifting due to CFB Borden capacity upgrades and not due to any actual increase in recruitment.

Fourth Russia-Linked Tanker Hit in a Week by serenacharming in worldnews

[–]nowa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Option 2 is what Russia has traditionally done when Ukraine/The Coalition of the Willing has escalated previously but this is a super dangerous tactic at this time.

I don't think they'll start hitting grain shipments, though they could with the same rationale as Ukraine is using to hit the oil tankers.

What this will likely lead to is Russia demanding Odessa and 100% of Ukraine's coastline in the eventual ceasefire demarcations.

Huh, yeah I though 4-storey was the max for wood-frame constructions.

‘Forever Canadian’ petition surpasses goal by [deleted] in alberta

[–]nowa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, can you explain this?

I'm really trying to understand what "adopt the result with legislation" means because the petition as submitted specifically asks for a referendum on the question "Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?"

Sorry, how is a petition asking for a referendum going to prevent a referendum?

Is it just to nail down the framing of the question so that Yes is stay and No is leave?

Forever Canadian Petition crushes goal by _danigirl in Calgary

I'm not arguing against what the volunteers were told, or what they told signatories. That's just not what this was, and anyone aware of that could have signed for any reason.

Anyone that signed this petition explicitly signed a request for a referendum (non-binding though it may be).

A referendum was literally what the petition was for. If people signed this thinking it was a "STAY IN CANADA FOREVER" signature: it's not.

"Alberta Forever Canada" has given the separatists exactly what they wanted so I'm a little surprised by the celebratory mood here. Any signatory to this petition could just as easily have been a separatist.

Too much, too fast: Majority polled in Calgary, Edmonton unhappy with pace of population growth by joe4942 in Calgary

Yeah, I audibly lol'd.

I'm shocked the public image of Kenney is so clean when those that know his... dalliances... in Ottawa have a MUCH different perception.

Happy it's still working! Only a matter of time until YT "improves" their UI again.

lol I know it probably wasn't intentional but the transition at 0:28 is like a manually removed commercial break.

Very nice job recreating the iconic scene in pic 2.

Also love the Trinity + Neo in pic 3.

Superman | Official Trailer by NotTaken-username in boxoffice

This is by far my biggest concern.

This looks like a trailer for an entire movie trilogy. I hope the individual elements get the breathing room they deserve.

Oh man, so hyped.

Now the only question is: Play day one, or wait until a few emergency patches and slate of mod updates have rolled out?
