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

  • I don't think their F2P model is as good as it used to be - those Legendary bundles are awful - but it's still pretty good.

  • Including vendor junk food items in the giveaway is certainly a choice, but from the picture it looks like there will eventually be things that people actually want...

  • WestJet and Air Transat passengers fight back after airlines falsely claim they can’t film disputes

  • I agree, but also this was a 2700 km trip, as the crow flies.

  • Pipeline deal with Ottawa met with boos at Alberta UCP convention

    Jump

  • The boos came later when she asked if they were more comfortable in Canada than they were a few days ago.

    And the pipeline deal is why she was asking, so what's the difference, exactly?

  • Here's what to know about the energy agreement between Ottawa and Alberta

    Jump

  • What are the chances that Alberta just agreed to an increased industrial carbon tax in exchange for a pipeline that never gets built?

  • Fact File: No 'plan' to 'euthanize' 15 million Canadians with MAID

    Jump

  • Well, euthanizing 1/3 of the population would certainly help alleviate the housing crisis...

  • Should parents who refuse childhood vaccines be liable if their choice harms someone else’s kid?

    Jump

  • Agreed - it's pretty unlikely that you'd be able to prove something like that.

    I suppose you could try to apply precedents surrounding HIV disclosure, but I think it'd be a tough sell.

    Edit: And to be clear, even in that situation, we're talking about disclosure, not actual treatment-related choices.

  • 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?

    Jump

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

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

    Jump

  • 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

  • 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.
