    CAQ will allow crucifix on Courthouse wall, not around judges' necks

    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?

    Hormones, cows and the new trade deal: What you need to know

    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.

    Canada should unilaterally drop tariffs on all foreign-made flagpoles...

    ... and their accessories coming from any state other than a 'non-market economy' (so as to respect our new USMCA).

    US Steel Industry putting up anti-tariff ads.

    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...

    Woman's deadly cannabis allergy highlights complexity of condo living

    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?
