    You kinda sidestepped the issue and question. Trans-women have the biological advantages (and disadvantages) of being male. Do you think it fair for them to compete in female sports?

    I have to believe it was more than a single letter and she may have said somethings to the staff. The USA does not have universal care. They can turn you down because you can't pay your bill or can't afford treatment, I guess they can pick and choose their patients on any grounds. I still...

    “Wokeness” in Canada and elsewhere…

    If they drop that, how can they publish half the c-rap that is put out these days?

    I am of the position that if you are to allow trans-women to compete, you should just remove the gender separation and have a combined competition. Whomever wins wins.

    “Wokeness” in Canada and elsewhere…

    I think fake is an inappropriate adjective. More like lazy, Current journalism is if somebody tweets something, they run with it as a story. If someone runs with it as a story the next guy runs it as a verified source. Then they all just pile on. Nobody actually verifies the original report or...

    It's Climate Change I tell'ya!! IT'S CLIMATE CHANGE!!

    I don't think they are planning to head back until the fires have cleared. I doubt they would apply to that order as they are owners. But as I mentioned, her area is under mandatory evacuation right now so its all moot.

    My sister has a second home near Kelona, They recently sold their place and moved to a different one in Kelona. The first one is now gone. Completely burnt to the ground along with the complex it was in. The fire is 5km from her new place. They were already under and evacuation alert and all...

    2023 Women's World Cup Final

    This seems to be the rally cry of the British teams (when they don't score on their own goal at least) -- it must be the refs.

    My physio actually works on my body as well as giving me exercises. Get a different physio.

    ‘Hullo’ to new passenger fast-ferry service between Nanaimo and Vancouver

    They tried a fast ferry between Toronto and Rochester. But they priced it so high, it failed. Never underestimate the cheapness of the customer and how much they are willing to endure some inconvenience/time if it saves them a buck or 2.

    April Fools!! Here's your Carbon Tax F#ckers!!!

    McGuinty/Wynn did the same for Ontario and shutdown Ontario coal plants. We then had to import power at greater cost from Wisconsin (which produced that power using coal fired plants with less regulations than those in Ontario) but that was somehow greener.

    Actually, if he was 20 and the minor was 16, while technically still illegal, it isn't quite the same magnitude of an infraction as a 35 year old and a 16 year old or a 20 year old and a 9 year old.

    April Fools!! Here's your Carbon Tax F#ckers!!!

    If the CO2 is captured it really can't go in the air can it? Not sure who would be smelling the smoke. But the only alternative to coal for a flat province for a reliable power backbone is nuclear. Wind and solar are good surge backups in most places (SK gets little sun in the winter). I think...

    The it will cost more now to save later sounds like the insurance companies. Governments pass a whole bunch of laws protecting insurance companies from big settlements and the government always says premiums will go down. Yet the premiums go up and the insurance companies get rich. This sounds...

    It's all relative. If you have opinions which are far left of centre, that seems normal to you. Even a centered balanced position can seem like right wing ignorance.
