    Two years into the Trudeau 2.0 Minority Term, which day will Justin call the election that only he wants?

    A cabinet retreat scheduled for the end of August in Halifax, N.S., has stirred rumours that Trudeau will reconfigure the cabinet (again) in the coming weeks, to better position his government for an election expected some time next year (about Oct. In the past, Trudeau has made cabinet changes...

    Three Days a Week?

    Under a new policy announced in May, federal civil servants will have to spend at least three days per week in the office, while executives will have to spend at least four. Currently, civil servants are required to be in their offices only two days per week. Federal employees' unions say most...

    For public sector unions, the enemy is you

    The well-nigh conclusive evidence that unionization destroys economic value and would struggle to survive in competitive environments: only 13.7 per cent of Canada’s private sector workers were unionized as of 2023, down from 19.0 per cent in 1997 (the earliest year with comparable Statistics...

    Election 2024

    The Patriotic demonstration leading up to the American federal election, I’d sort’a expected to see more American flags, or is that a Trump campaign thing? On the third night of the Democratic national convention, the group Muslim Women for Harris released a statement announcing that it was...

    Two years into the Trudeau 2.0 Minority Term, which day will Justin call the election that only he wants?

    The Conservatives, & it took a full year, dropped from a greater than 99% chance of winning…to just a 98% odds of winning, & it’s still more than a year until the next election. I wouldn’t say it’s exactly touch & go…but it makes you wonder what happened?

    The next election has to be held by October (but they’re not say’n 20th or 27th now…) 2025 but could happen any time before then…but it won’t. The cabinet will get an update on the status of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's supply and confidence non-coalition coalition that’s definitely Not a...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    The British bailed in the 1940’s. It was only (for the most part) after the 6 day war in 1967 where Israel held their own against a whole pack of Arab countries simultaneously that the US took significant interest in Israel. They (Israel) could be allied with for stability in the Middle East...

    Whomever They are seems to include much of the Middle East Muslim majority countries also. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_exodus_from_the_Muslim_world The Jews Zionist had already tried to buy what’s called Palestine from the Ottomans by offering to pay off all their foreign debt but that...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    The vacuum was created in title, and promises, by the British (& the French, and the Italians, etc…). “Fight for God & King and we will….” Same type of promise that got a couple of my ancestors off Australia (via a stop in South Africa). If there wasn’t a land title free for all, explain...

    Non-Coalition Coalition that’s Definitely NOT a Coalition…

    The railway lockout/strike ongoing and the Trudeau Liberals trying to force all sides into binding arbitration, Singh is threatening to pull his support for the government. He wants the strike to play out, to heck with the rest of the workers in other industries who will be hurt – he’s standing...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Seen that one before. It predominantly speaks about the Zionist movement (nationalistic Jews that wanted their own nation) more so than the Arab movement (nationalistic Arabs that wanted their own nation) in the vacuum that will arise with WW1 & the ending of the Ottoman Empire.

    Hamas attacks Israel

    It’s a tangled web. During Ottoman rule, which lasted from 1517 to 1917, the region known today as Palestine was part of the larger administrative division called the Ottoman Province of Syria. Specifically, it was often referred to as Southern Syria or the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem, which...

    WE really need to get rid of this guy

    Never could wear one. I could wear a helmet, a hard hat, scull-cap, a hairnet, many bandanas (Schampa are my favourite), but ball caps? Just couldn’t do it.

    Hamas attacks Israel

    The land area of Palestine. Named after Ottoman provinces, and whom was the governing entity controlling that geographical area at the time? Or are you talking about the brown covered passports that came later on? Whom where the Palestinian citizens described above?
