Which is great. God knows we needed it. But your own comment implies even you didn't think it was 'normal' before :) So the question remains, why aren't we pushing for gov'ts to adapt rather than pretend we can "get rid" of climate change with a gas tax. If droughts are going to be a thing for...

Which is just what was needed, the ground's nice and wet now so when the heavy stuff comes it'll soak in more and won't just run off the surface. Hopefully this next week will see enough to put an end to the forest fire season.

You're basing that on your many years as a police homicide investigator? ;) There is ALWAYS real harm done when we set aside the decisions of the experts we've hired to deal with a situation like this in favour of political pandering and pressure from the politicians. That is ALWAYS bad. It...

I'd heard a rumour that boris struck a deal with him to back him and not run in exchange for a cabinet level position. Which means she's not going to get enough no matter what she does. Looks like it's going to be a coronation.

Yes. Make sure you have water on hand. That way if nature doesn't show up you're good :) It's not complicated. People south of us have been living with this kind of thing for a very long time, we just have to adapt some of their techniques. But - we should adapt. Well setting the spring aside...

The usual bullshit nonsense from the left. Hell the parties themselves organize rides for everyone who'll vote for them, Voting Democrat? Call them and say you need a lift. Done. Same with republicans. The left is all about the lies. Nobody is being prevented from voting. Sorry. I know the...

Well first lets get real - the whole green party is lizzie may :) Along with her official Whip, Chardonnay. Fair point but he's already under a bit of fire for his hypocrisy and the deal with the libs - it wouldn't take much for him to get called on it hard with this one. I have no doubt he...

They do if they win.

Actually a really good point :)

Yes - but it's unreliable. So the cops won't use it because nobody wants to hear "fingerprint scan not recognized" when they really needed to hear "bang' :) There's a few models and methods but it's just not ready for mainstream yet. There are companies still working on refining it.

Of COURSE not - THEY VOTED FOR IT! It wouldn't have HAPPENED without them! How the hell can you say "that thing that we voted for with you that enabled you to do it? Yeah that was so wrong of us that we have to break our deal with you over us doing it". Jaggers is the one who was on national...

Well that won't be very useful then. I would imagine the airline flights are pretty booked as well :)

Watching British Politics is like watching children's hockey. There's no plan or finesse, it's just one big ball of hands and feet flailing about madly with everyone screaming to pass it and occasionally a puck shoots out and the ball breaks up to follow it and then the whole process starts again.

I'd heard Ukraine had left one bridge intact to allow for escape.

https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/goldstein-trudeaus-handgun-freeze-wont-freeze-illegal-handguns As much as everyone knows this is bullshit of the highest order and won't save a single life, it will leave the CPC in a bit of a delicate situation next election. Erin otoole basically...

Well it's the first time we've had anything close to THIS dry - but again obviously we should be looking to adapt, not adding another 50 cents in taxes to everything and pretending we solved something,

Probably true. And really they should be asked that question point blank - why didnt you do this obvious thing if you felt the protest was illegal? They might have even had a chance after the first week or so. But obviously they were afraid of what the ruling might be

https://bc.ctvnews.ca/b-c-drought-by-the-numbers-vancouver-victoria-saw-less-than-10-of-average-rainfall-since-july-1.6119658 So here's the thing. We can argue why weather is changing, but i think it's time to get serious about accepting that it is and doing the rational thing. The rational...

The question is often asked if they had a constitutional right to do the protest, especially considering they blocked the streets. Here's a lawyer weighing in on the question. So it seems like they had a pretty strong case that they did, at least initially for the first weekend or so. And...
