    Canada: Alberta wildfires force nearly 30,000 residents to flee

    They do have sort of a point. But, most municipal firefighters that have rural areas also take wildfire training, and also have the proper equipment for urban interface fires. I don't know about Quebec, but BC Wildfire Service does not have much in the way of sprinkler systems available, while...

    Notorious child killer Paul Bernardo transferred to Quebec institution

    It is supposed to be about punishment, not what the convict wants.

    Scandal!

    A guy I worked with back in the 70s married a woman that was taking psychology. Now he was a bit out there, but a hell of a nice guy. She told everyone she married him to use him for her master’s thesis. Sadly he was run over by a mine truck a couple of years later.

    Critics call for reforms to Toronto's mayoral election: 'Worst possible system'

    I believe there has been the odd provincial election that generated over 50%. It would take some digging. 2001 BC election probably. Probably some in Alberta too. We reduced the NDP to two seats. Can’t recall if there was an independent at that time. All the rest were BC Liberals.

    Pride Flag

    Probably better in the long run to let them be ridiculed in public than have them hiding under a rock. Our PM loves Nazis.

    Pride Flag

    Unfortunately, a change in government could change what the state deems in the best interest of the child. Now I don't much care what consenting adults do with each other, but when adults with an abnormal agenda start forcing their agenda on kids, or even demanding other adults go along with...

    Pride Flag

    Like the State that took native kids from their parents and put them in residential schools far away from their community? Is that your version of legitimate state interest? Who overrides clearly dangerous state beliefs?

    Pride Flag

    Colby highlights one of the biggest problems with the pride thing. If you don't go all out for pride parades, you are obviously homophobic. Now, I tend to avoid any parades, so does this make me CISphobic? Or just someone that has better things to do with my time.

    Rapporteur David Johnson, Eminent Canadian

    I have seen a couple of fb posts from people wanting her to come home. Never read any of them far enough tofigure out why or what side they are on, but this might be related.

    So this accounts for what? Probably less than 0.1% of the population. `Kids just don't need to know some things until they are older.

    America and Britain announce new "Atlantic Declaration"

    This was McCarthy time. Commie under every bed. I wonder how he would feel about today's society. Around the same time, the US nixed the Avro Arrow.

    Canada’s $1.1-trillion debt is shockingly high – it threatens all that we value

    I realize this isn't good for most people with mortgages, but for retired people with no debt and some savings it is a small reprieve.

    Bear Spray Incident at Pool Opening in Regina SK

    Too bad their 15 minutes of fame couldn't be in stocks in front of the pool. With bear spray rentals at $5.00 a shot.
