    40% decline in permanent residents becoming Canadian citizens since 2001, data shows

    Legitimate landed immigrants, who pay their fees, and wait things out for 10 years and then apply for citizenship without the citizenship test, etc… that might be what we’re seeing.

    WE really need to get rid of this guy

    I hear you. I too, would like to know. The concern, however, is that it’s a judgment call whether foreign interference in a Canadian federal election rises to the level of calling into question the overall results and the public has no way of knowing how that was determined, since we don’t know...

    WE really need to get rid of this guy

    Good question. I’m assuming (supplemented by years of reading) that the Chinese preferred a certain outcome in Federal (& provincial & municipal) elections in Canada that would govern their “interference” accordingly…whatever it is/was. The government (Canadian) would in turn base their...

    WE really need to get rid of this guy

    …but…but…the Chinese interference didn’t change the results in any “Significant” way… National security officials drafted a warning for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his office more than a year before the 2019 federal election, alleging that Chinese agents were “assisting Canadian...

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    Shoe sizes. Do you wear a size 11(?) or a 30cm(?) or a Euro Size 44? If you walked into damn near any shoe store in Canada and you asked for a 30 cm shoe, what would you get? Any lumber store looking for lumber? I get it.

    The RCMP and government adopt EVs as winter performance concerns emerge

    Yeah, what size of generator are you describing with respect to a police chase? With the weight of the EV batteries already I’m assuming it can’t be anything more than a four-cylinder so maybe at 2 L generator at most? I’m just guessing at the numbers here…. And I’m not picturing S2000 2L but...

    The RCMP and government adopt EVs as winter performance concerns emerge

    So not EV & not ICE. The worst of both but the functional compromise? How would a Half-Breed be in an extended high speed chase?

    The RCMP and government adopt EVs as winter performance concerns emerge

    So will the RCMP just use these EV’s for 1/3 of each shift, & then switch to an ICE vehicle for the last 2/3rds of their shift while the EV is charging? I can imagine a high speed chase (instant power!!) but not endurance. Part way through a chase, they’d yank into a Tesla fast charger (&...
