    Donald Trump Announces 2016 White House Bid

    I have seen several Wyomic voters interviewed and they all say the same thing. They like Trump. They want their representative to like Trump too. In 2020 I think I heard that Wyoming had one of the highest turnouts for Trump of any state. Bottom line it is their vote and they cast it.

    Latest Alberta 338 poll shows the NDP and UPC pretty much neck and neck.

    It's a good answer to a pollster if you are upset with the government. But when it comes to the ballot different story.

    Chris Sankey: Why, as an Indigenous-Canadian, I will be voting Conservative in the next election

    Yes, this idea of viewing history through the eyes of 2022 and judging accordingly is bull. I think Residential Schools were created with the best intentions of that time but implemented poorly. Again the key words are "of that time".

    Irreparable harm was incurred by visitation bans in long-term-care homes and must never be repeated

    Common sense was rarely applied to any situation. It was always brute force by the book. My wife was diagnosed with brain cancer in May 2020 and she did all her treatments alone as I was not allowed to visit. I will never forgive St. Michaels Hospital for it's refusal to bend the policy at all.

    Alec Baldwin fired shot that killed one, wounded another on film set

    The only other option is arrogance and/or incompetence. Possible but less likely.

    Alec Baldwin fired shot that killed one, wounded another on film set

    But each of those steps involves $$$ spent off the bottom line. He went cheap, got burned and now is trying to pretend that his decisions to go cheap were not the root of it.

    News anchor Lisa LaFlamme 'shocked' after CTV replaces her with Omar Sachedina

    CTV does not want and old woman delivering the news. It re-enforces the perception (and I believe correct one) that the news is just a show. The time where the anchor was trusted and experienced are long gone. They are talking heads reading the teleprompter now. They should be able to make one...

    Alec Baldwin fired shot that killed one, wounded another on film set

    And while he may be able to shirk responsibility on a personal (actor) level, as the producer of the movie, the responsibility for making sure the gun was safe falls back on him. He should have made sure he had the proper people and protocols in place.

    FBI Raids Former President Donald Trump’s Home

    I observe this phenomenon on regular news stories as well. People judge based upon what is thrown at them by the news reader reading the copy.

    FBI Raids Former President Donald Trump’s Home

    Maybe in the court of public opinion. But this happens all the time. He won't be the first or the last for this to happen to. It's a sad commentary on the 'public'.

    FBI Raids Former President Donald Trump’s Home

    Sounds like your average witness in any court proceeding. Not really reliable but there anyways.

    Roe v. Wade overturned?

    In the maritimes the provinces are considerably smaller so comparisons don't really fit. So she may not be the best judge of that. :) But yes, getting into another state can be quite quick. Some states are long though so one direction may be longer than others. When I drove to SK from Toronto...

    deaths

    In situations like this, one thinks they should be able to euthanize the public instead as they were the ones at fault.

    High-risk sex offender disappears from Vancouver, B.C. halfway house

    High risk to public but in non-secure halfway house? Brilliant.

    Alberta Provincial Liberal Party

    I remember the Liberal Party in Saskatchewan. It kind of collapsed when Trudeau Sr. was in Ottawa. In SK I thought some of the Liberal MLAs joined with some Conservative MLAs to become the Saskatchewan Party. Think that was end of the line for the Liberals in SK. Thought Alberta Liberals were...

    Unvaccinated mothers facing up to $50,000 in maternity leave repayment to BC Government

    It sounds like it is a loophole in their policies but they certainly are not doing anything to fix it.

    Unvaccinated mothers facing up to $50,000 in maternity leave repayment to BC Government

    I am not a lawyer, and do not even play one in TV, but they could show up to work and then be fired per mandate (which I don't think matters anymore -- at this point covid is nothing vaxed or unvaxed) but since they returned to work they are covered.

    Alec Baldwin fired shot that killed one, wounded another on film set

    Was that fact not known from day 1 and undisputed? So glad after all these months of investigation they can confirm that. Sounds like they have been wasting their time.

    More than 10,000 Canadians received a medically-assisted death in 2021: report

    The person who has to live (or not) with the surgery should have that choice.
