Seems to me when I brought my rental car back with 347 dents the hail stones were the size of golf balls .Pea size to marble size do the most damage.
From Calgary? 347 golf ball size would have been a structural write off.Seems to me when I brought my rental car back with 347 dents the hail stones were the size of golf balls .
Happened up near Ft. Nelson . Will see if I can find the pictures . Every panel had dents was a scary ride . About six inches deep on the highway nowhere to turn around or hide . Fortunately once we hit the hill it stopped . At the top of the hill going the other way we’re a group of cyclists heading into it . Have always worried about them .From Calgary? 347 golf ball size would have been a structural write off.
Volume. Pea-marbe size will strip a forest bare and get a foot deep. Golf ball size - a few per square ft, marble size - 20+ per square in.
What? You think only the US has leprechauns?Scottish. . . leprechauns. *backs away slowly* Yep, sure thing, amigo.
Nothing will change until after G7 and there is always War Measures Act potentially looming. A good hearty war always fires up industry in just months.Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne signalled Wednesday there will be no spring budget and only a fall economic statement, despite his predecessor announcing pre-budget consultations earlier this year.
Asked by reporters about the date of the next budget, Champagne said his first three orders of business are tabling a motion to cut the bottom income tax bracket by one per cent, presenting a speech to the throne on May 27 and then publishing an economic update in the fall.
He made no mention of a budget, nor did he respond to repeated questions as to why the government would not be tabling a spring budget.
“The middle-class tax cut, that’s step one. Step two, you’re going to have a throne speech which will outline the Canadian government’s priorities, and there will be a fall economic statement to follow,” Champagne said after the first cabinet meeting since the shuffle Tuesday.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said the decision not to table a budget is a sign that Carney is failing to deliver on his election campaign promises to Canadians.
“Parliament has already been shut down for nearly half a year. Now, in the face of serious economic threats, the Liberals don’t intend to present a budget this year. There is no roadmap forward, no economic vision, and no willingness to lead,” said Poilievre, in a written statement. “This is not the leadership Mark Carney promised—it’s abandonment.”

Bloc has already said that they will support the liberals for the first year…so probably not voted down. Blanchet stressed it would not be a blind alliance, adding he expects Prime Minister Mark Carney’s party to make concessions on French-language protections, Quebec’s immigration capacity, the province’s secularism Bill 21 and “pipelines” ‘cuz Quebec, etc…Because it will just get voted down.
French language is fine by me but I'm not cool with immigration to Quebec being lowered for two reasons. Firstly French language. It keeps the Haitians in Quebec. Secondly high immigration to Quebec keeps the Haitians in Quebec. I like our Nigerians, I don't want Haitians coming here because the Feds take them in.Bloc has already said that they will support the liberals for the first year…so probably not voted down.

Blanchet said partisanship should be put aside for the time being, adding he cannot fathom another election for at least a year and some months as negotiations with Trump could intensify ahead of the U.S. midterm elections…so there’s that.

Bloc Québécois ready for ‘truce’ with Liberals
Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet said he is ready to work with the Liberal Party of Canada under a temporary truce as the government takes on U.S. President Donald Trump.www.ctvnews.ca
PS. I don't think Blanchet has the balls.French language is fine by me but I'm not cool with immigration to Quebec being lowered for two reasons. Firstly French language. It keeps the Haitians in Quebec. Secondly high immigration to Quebec keeps the Haitians in Quebec. I like our Nigerians, I don't want Haitians coming here because the Feds take them in.

Like this recent bit of pocket change.
Not like there isn’t a template for this already established by recent Liberal governments that kept getting voted in by someone somewhere in Canada.Or…we have the same Liberal government (for its consecutive fourth term) and they where able to play fast and loose for the last three terms without consequences, so why bother with a Spring budget?
Translation: The block does not have enough money to fight another election.Blanchet said partisanship should be put aside for the time being, adding he cannot fathom another election for at least a year and some months as negotiations with Trump could intensify ahead of the U.S. midterm elections…so there’s that.
