Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?

  • Mike Smith, Bubbles on Trailer Park Boys, charged with sexual assault

  • Not a big shock - there have been allegations surrounding the guy for years.

  • You're going to make up the funding shortfall, right?

  • It was certainly the case when I was in school, and that was decades ago.

  • I think that's pretty universal, and it's been the case for decades.

  • It's the perfect crime! The feds create a problem with a solution that's under provincial jurisdiction...

  • A surprising number of us about twelve hours ago:

  • Yeah, I lucked out in having nothing better to do at the time. I'm not sure if I'll be able to catch all of the rest of the series, but I'm definitely going to keep an eye on it!

  • I don't really follow baseball at all, and haven't watched any of the playoffs to date. But I did watch this.

  • Labour leaders vow ‘unprecedented response’ as Alberta uses notwithstanding clause

    Jump

  • "As the labour movement in this province, our leaders have made a commitment to rise to that challenge, defend the teachers and their rights, defend worker rights more broadly, and to defend our democracy. We have no choice."

    [Gil McGowan, president of the Alberta Federation of Labour] stopped short of confirming whether that response would include a provincewide strike, but said, “it’s one of the things that's actively under consideration."

  • Alberta to invoke notwithstanding clause to send striking teachers back to work

    Jump

  • I'm not in Alberta, but pay doesn't seem to be the sticking point here - the union is trying to negotiate on class sizes (which AFAIK the province is refusing to even disclose) and classroom supports.

  • Abuse of the NWS has been progressively normalized over the last few decades, and I think we've reached the breaking point.

  • Quebec to ban religious symbols in daycare centres

    Jump

  • Thank you - this is what I'm here for.

  • I linked to the article!

  • Quebec to ban religious symbols in daycare centres

    Jump

  • I took it from a news article from last week, which suggests pretty strongly that that proposal is exactly what was implemented, and they never produced an updated graphic.

    But again, I'd welcome a genuine correction.

  • If you have additional information that contradicts it, I'd happy to see it. I don't live in Quebec, and only know what I know.

  • ‘Letterkenny’ Producer On ‘Hate The Player: The Ben Johnson Story’: “What If We Look At This As ‘I Tonya’ Meets ‘Eastbound & Down’”

  • Deadline is actually an American Hollywood/entertainment industry trade outlet, so it's definitely not a Canadian thing.

    Weird metaphor to have in your style guide, though.

  • Canadian ‘beer’ kills 21-year-old in New Zealand

    Jump

  • No, it says Canadian "beer" killed him. It's an immediate signal that it wasn't actually beer.

  • Canadian ‘beer’ kills 21-year-old in New Zealand

    Jump

  • What's misleading about it?

    The product came from Canada.

    The "beer" is in quotation marks, indicating that it wasn't actually beer.

    A 21-year-old was killed.

    In New Zealand.

  • Carney announces long-awaited automatic tax filing, makes school food program permanent

  • ...not all low-income people are homeless?

  • Carney announces long-awaited automatic tax filing, makes school food program permanent

    Jump

  • I don't think I'd call it a "catch".

    Carney said that Canadians who fail to file a return when they earn under the basic personal amount means Canadians “who most need benefits often don’t get them.”

    Those benefits include the GST/HST tax credit, the Canada child benefit, the Canada workers benefit, the Canadian disability benefit and the disability tax credit.
