From the very absolute beginning of this Chinese government interference story, there has been only one person and only one office with both the power and responsibility to unearth the depth and cost to our democracy of that interference. The person is Justin Trudeau and the office is that of...

Well, that’s the end of one big useless distracting storm. The only accomplishment of Mr. Trudeau’s sly attempt to shed his responsibility as Prime Minister and load it onto the back of someone else is to have dug more than a few extra feet to the already deep sour well of Canadians’ cynicism...

The Canada-Class Sub’s (nuclear) that where kiboshed was 1987. On 6 June 1987, the Canadian White Paper on Defence was tabled in the House of Commons. The White Paper recommended the building of 10 to 12 nuclear-powered submarines, to be stationed on patrol routes in the Northeast Pacific...

Touché!!

Still impressive as all Hell with a 4yrs old & 1yrs old in tow. Just staying ahead of the poisonous bugs & plants & exposure on their own with the 13 & 9 year olds providing and caring for the other two on their own…I’m not going to belittle that fact. (As a grandparent, the thought of caring...

Well, there was a few different factors at play. This is one of them: 😉 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada-class_submarine

In a major shift, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will now weigh whether to call a public inquiry into foreign elections interference after former governor general David Johnston stunned the government Friday, resigning as outside adviser after weeks of controversy over his appointment and the...

The siblings, aged 13, nine, four and a one-year-old baby came out after 40 days. That’s wild!

The appointment of a special rapporteur has nothing to do with inquiring into foreign interference in Canadian elections. Over the past four years, parliamentary committees have studied foreign interference extensively, issuing five reports and making over 30 recommendations. There is no...

So if Irving Oil bugs out, there’s no contingency plan needed then? That’s the question I was unclearly asking. I was under the impression they were a bigger player in your neighbourhood than they are. If they won’t be missed other than a few jobs then I guess it’s not a big issue.

Canada with its climate, and the sheer length of its coast lines not having them is…not cool.

If the Regulatory & Political climate in Canada has become inhospitable, and Natural Gas is “Green” in Europe…& they want it (!)….Irving could mothball production in Canada and set up shop elsewhere without selling the Canadian facilities to anyone. I guess American refineries can feed Maritime...

Or they switch to Natural Gas production, where it’s wanted, in Europe. Anything can happen, and if they bail out who would want it as far as a “new owner” if the political climate and regulations made the previous want to leave?? The NB Government maybe?

Yeah but…what if? What does NB do?

“Witnesses told the officers that a group of four to five suspects wearing balaclavas and other face coverings entered the facility and began to discharge a can of bear spray,” the police release said. The radio is saying cans (plural) of bear spray by 4-5 individuals with balaclavas. This was...

The mood at the new Wascana Pool in Regina changed in a flash Thursday afternoon. Smiles were replaced by solemn faces and tears, with onlookers saying there was an incident involving an irritant. Police later confirmed it was bear spray...

Ours has gone from under $600 to almost $900 so it’s manageable but noticeable, but we’ve got three kids (& their spouses, and their kids) who are still in rental situations & those costs are jumping along with the interest rates the last few years, making even our inflated mortgage costs look...

Floating mortgage. Not locked in at a specific rate this time. In June 2020, the Bank of Canada’s interest rate was 0.25% but this week, after the ninth interest rate hike it sits at 4.75% with a possible hike to 5% in July. It’s real, and we’re in an affordable/manageable position even with...

“It’s just something they don’t do.” That’s what New Brunswick’s former chief economist, David Campbell, said about Irving Oil’s public announcement of a strategic review, including a possible full or partial sale. The company is mulling existential questions. So why are the Irvings —...

Over the last few months, Moe has put a focus on the province’s future in energy, deciding to go against the federal mandate of net-zero emissions by 2035. “We will not sacrifice the reliability and affordability of Saskatchewan’s power grid to meet some notional target that isn’t achievable,”...
