The CAQ will allow a crucifix on a courtroom wall but not a simple cross around a judge's neck because that would undermine the religious neutrality of the state. Unbelievable! https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2018/10/16/la-caq-dit-oui-aux-crucifix-dans-les-palais-de-justice

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/peace-tower-flag-waiting-time-99-years-1.4746229 Why not just charge a fee as a way to shrink the waitlist? Just raise the fee over time until we can shrink the waitlist down to between three weeks and one year. Whenever the waitlist exceeds one year...

https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/geopolitics/article/2168221/might-trumps-right-lessons-learned-china-opium-wars-ring-true?utm_source=quora&utm_medium=referral Interesting article. When I lived in China, I found that even today, the Chinese people dread a repeat of the 'hundred years of...

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/steel-surtax-canada-imports-1.4859138 Consumer gods will soon become more expensive, and then we wonder why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/usmca-milk-hormones-1.4849423 I hope the new deal includes a clause that allows farmers in the 'Land of the free' to label their milk hormone-free. Heck, if Trump had half a brain cell, he'd realize that that would even help US milk exports.

... and their accessories coming from any state other than a 'non-market economy' (so as to respect our new USMCA). If you shop around, whether on https://www.amazon.ca/ or http://www.flagshop.com/ for example, most flagpoles and accessories sold in Canada are US-made. That alone would not be...

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/some-air-canada-staff-to-be-banned-from-using-cannabis-while-off-duty/ar-BBNGH3o?ocid=spartanntp It looks like the law will soon translate to the freedom to toke until employed. We should apply this policy to our lawmakers. No lawmaker should be voting on a...

An ad came up on my screen on one US site about how US steel tariffs could hurt the US economy. I clicked on it and it brought me to this site: https://energycitizens.org/landing_page/no232/ Seems that the US energy sector isn't too happy with Trump's tariffs. That said, our government isn't...

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/deadly-allergy-cannabis-condo-1.4830526 How complicated does this really need to be? Allow the medical cannabis users to drink it as a tea or in some other way and ban smoking it. Done. Does it really need to be that complicated?

https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/marijuana-companies-border-1.4823523 It would seem fair to me that the US ban any recreational user and any owner or part-owner of a recreational-pot business from entering the US for life. I don't see the point in banning medicinal users and legal employees who...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Island The epitome of bureaucratic incompetence. certainly after all these decades, you'd think well-educated Canadian diplomats would have been able to resolve the Hans Island dispute. Would it really be that difficult to find an agreement? For example, just...

https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/canada-jobs-unemployment-rate-full-time-work-1.4814183 The government should lower the minimum wage, cautiously deregulate (we still need healthy food and stable banks for example), and aggressively seek out free trade with other countries.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/first-quarter-federal-surplus-1.4764392 OK, at least we can subtract that from the deficits and interest of the last few years. It only begins to make up for it though.
