Shit…I thought Pgs was talking about the Americans back in post#803 with Trump fighting with Congress and the Senate and the upcoming midterm elections, etc….but I guess it fits for both sides. My bad.

How long does cease fire supposed to last? How long the whole war was supposed to last seven weeks ago? I just didn’t understand the reference is all. It’s not at the four years into a three day war period yet…but it sure doesn’t feel like anything that’s going to end quickly.

"So far, no delegation from Iran has departed for Islamabad, Pakistan," Iranian state TV said on Tuesday, dismissing reports suggesting otherwise. Both sides have accused the other of ceasefire breaches, with the US leader saying Iran fired on ships in the crucial trade route it has choked...

That’s a good point. I understand these carriers move at about jogging speed, but 36hrs isn’t three days. Somewhat, in a full capacity bottleneck sorta way I guess, and with Vancouver already being North America’s biggest urban clear cut, dredging out the harbour and strait leading to it...

As it stands, Alberta is set to revert to standard time on Nov. 1. Saskatchewan effectively stopped observing daylight saving time (DST) six decades ago in 1966. The province passed the Time Act that year to establish a uniform, year-round time, largely to avoid the confusion of a "patchwork"...

The federal government is eyeing a new oil pipeline route in southern British Columbia that some in Ottawa believe would face fewer environmental hurdles and less resistance from Indigenous groups than the northern route Alberta is proposing, two federal sources say. Prime Minister Mark Carney...

A spokesperson for Quebec’s Transport Ministry told us the premier does fly private — but on chartered flights. There is no government plane for the premier’s exclusive travel, according to a spokesperson for the premier’s office. They said the jets Ford was referring to are used for medical...

Meh…day 53 I think, & it’s the same threats, same denials, same posturing, same…same, at this point.

Sorry, my wires were crossed and I’ve never been to Fond du Lac, but I’ve been to the end of the road that leads to it, and that’s an absolute shit hole. La Loche, SK (been here about 50 times, but not for a few decades). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Loche My oldest brother worked at the...

Fond du Lac? I’ve been there about 50 times….& I’m not going back unless I absolutely have to. One of the rougher places I’ve been. Literally end of the road most of the year.

“Despite the best of intentions, I have heard and agree that now is not the right time for the expense of a government plane. The province is working with Bombardier and other partners to sell the plane as quickly as possible,” Ford’s statement read. http://apple.news/AYdZpt76qSiyZA-th-Os8ww

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Washington has shown it was "not serious" about pursuing the diplomatic process and Tehran would not change its clearly stated demands, adding that it did not believe in deadlines or ultimatums when safeguarding national interests. Trump...

The United States said it forcibly seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship that tried to get around a naval blockade near the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, the first such interception since the blockade of Iranian ports began last week because peace talks the very next day. The news threw into...

Canada too, apparently, or at least to gather as much info as possible. http://ised-isde.canada.ca/site/science/en/office-chief-science-advisor/sky-canada-project...

It stacks up, with other taxes, & levels of taxes. For comparison, let’s compare it to our closest neighbour and biggest trading partner and the carbon taxes it pays, as opposed to other taxes that were already paying…level playing field, etc…

We say, “Rhymes with Fun!” just so you know.😉

Out of curiosity, why would basically a flying bus for a Canadian politician need to have the concept of “luxury” baked into it? Serious question here. To fly a jet from one end of Ontario to the other is a maximum of what? Maybe two hours in the air? Maybe less? How much luxury is necessary for...
