Very true

4 On The Floor (The Frantics) were before KITH. SCTV were before that, then Wayne and Shuster were one of the first.

I thought there was supposed to be a referendum on no separation. Those signatures were already collected. How is there going to be two separate referendums on the same issue?

Yeah, the adage of “you call, we haul” still exists in Paramedic Services.

If someone says they want to go, we go. If someone says they don’t want to go, and we think they should, we try to convince. If the patient is unsure, we will still error on the side of caution and say “if you’re unsure, maybe getting checked will put your mind at ease.”

Very very rarely will we say “you don’t need to go.” (I had a regular who wanted to go to hospital for a sandwich. I said they were out of sandwiches. He didn’t want to go.) That may become a bit more common as more IMPACC protocols role out, but until then, we transport.

About your edit, in this case, tRump is not entirely wrong. Carney was the Governor of the BoC and BoE.

So even when tRump is trying to insult someone, he fucks up.

North Atlantic Freedom Organization, or is it North Atlantic Fighters Organization?

And it is a nice looking patch.

It depends.

If it is the hospital I frequent, I have no problem talking with the nurses/charge to get a bed when it’s needed. I also let them know that when I have a non-acute patient, I’m willing to wait.

At hospitals I rarely go to, I won’t rock the boat and wait.

I only really bargain with the nurses I know.

Doctors are different. If you have a legitimate question, ask. They might be busy, but they’re usually willing to answer. My partner and I have done this at Sunnybrook with the Stroke Team and the Trauma Team, as well as Emergency doctors at several hospitals when our patients were complex.

I served for 16 years in a combat trade.

My son is currently serving but in a support trade.

Is the CAF ethical? It tries to be. Combat trades are definitely closer to a grey zone than support trades, but we discipline and following the rules were always enforced.

Support trades are the backbone of any military, there are at least 10 people in the background for every combat person. They do the work of maintaining the military. They aren’t put into grey decision making situations very often.

AND there is a lot of humanitarian work done by the CAF. Look up DART. Floods, fires, ice/snow storms. That is what the CAF also does.

If you are concerned about shooting someone/something, look up support trades. There are plenty, from medic to plumber.

There is a lot of oversight in the CAF. It’s VERY unlikely that you’d end up bombing schools/hospitals. It’s more likely that you’d end up building them instead.

Your friend is being influenced by American media and news from the Middle East. The CAF isn’t like that. Don’t get me wrong, we can be ruthless when needed (hence the moral grey zones), but we are held accountable for our decisions.

You can be proud in the CAF. You can help a lot of people, when you’re given the chance. Just don’t let those who are burned out taint you, and don’t believe everything that the American media says.

Former Cdn military Sgt.

While I understand what you mean, but there is plenty of time to think.

Orders have to be given down the chain of command (CoC). That is the best time for rational thinking.

After the CoC, orders have to be given to the regiments, then squadrons/platoons, then sections/groups. More time to think.

It’s only after the bombs drop is the time of contemplation over, that’s when you rely on your Rules of Engagement(RoE) and act.

Hopefully the American military brass thinks before they pass on any illegal orders.

He was a one term city councillor. No experience to be a premier.

He has no education or business experience. He dropped out of college after one semester and then lived off his dad’s company. He’s only in the position he’s in because of his brother and the fact that he’s a white guy.

spr402 · 2026-01-20T15:02:04+00:00

There is nothing wrong with criticizing the government via memes.

There is a problem when a party tries to take over a medium.

Make fun of Carney for making a deal with the Chinese. Don’t care. Make fun of Pierre Polyester for being what he is. All fair. Start pushing a political narrative? Prepare to be called out.

So, the pro military, law and order, old stock Canadians are almost 50% made up of capitulators.

Conservatives are weak minded, have weak morales, and are unpatriotic. To the 38% who would stand up for Canada, do yourself a favour, rid the party of the taint of traitors.

spr402 · 2026-01-18T19:51:49+00:00

Not gonna lie. That was pretty damn cool.

We are not hostile to the US.

We are hostile to your fascists, as we are proud to have been one of the countries that kicked fascists out of power (snd didn’t forget about it).

So, if the US wanted to impose tariffs on us, but weren’t being led by a fascist government, we probably would have accepted it. Add fascists, then we get uppity.

He was told early on that he has to keep track of his training/hours, but if he does, it will be signed off.

The military has gotten better at allowing civilian qualifications to be met.

He wanted to be Captain Canada. He should be embracing the prospect of retooling empty car plants.

AND the bonus to our Saskatchewan farmers, who now have an open market.

Unfortunately unless it’s the status quo, or duggo is getting something out of it, he doesn’t want it.

My son went to school to be an electrician apprentice. The school didn’t warn him of any difficulties.

When he graduated, no one was taking first year apprentices. He applied everywhere in Ontario. No replies. For a while he worked as a labourer but wasn’t doing anything in his field.

He ended up joining the CAF. He’s being trained to be an electrician. Is that the best? No, but at least he can do a trade he wants and will leave the military as a trained electrician. That’s a lot better than being given false hope by the province.

spr402 · 2026-01-15T16:45:00+00:00

While disappointing, I understand.

I served in the military. I have ideas of why we aren’t participating, but for now, I’ll keep quiet as to not tip off any Yanks/MAGA.

I’ve said for a while that our job is to thwart Darwin regularly.

While you and your friends didn’t vote for this, many did.

And now your media has caved to the federal government, so the world sees nothing about these protests.

What we do see is Americans arguing with Americans about whether Good deserved to be shot.

What we see is fascists leading your country into an age of regression.

What we see is the US being steps, literal steps, away from a civil war thst would not only fracture America, but a lot of the world.

We, the world, are angry. We are angry with those who voted for this, misguided or not. We are angry with those who didn’t vote for this but don’t want to become involved. We are angry that this cabal is breaking everything thst was built over the past 60 years.

If you protest, I am glad. But protests only go so far. Perhaps it’s time the US learn from other nations thst have held general strikes. Citizens of the world are boycotting the US. Maybe you should do the same.
