Edmonton mayor to run in 2025 federal election, Liberals say

  • That seems like a weird whatabout. How is your job related to how much funding the CBC gets?

  • In the end, funding the Ukraine-Russia war instead of promoting the peaceful settlement that was being negotiated between Ukraine and Russia in April 2022 has been a disaster for Ukraine and for Europe.

    🚩🚩🚩

  • Yeah, never is things seem critical. Mind you, it is Patch Thursday, so maybe things will settle down.

  • I either missed this, or is has been added to the article:

    Audio recording from Pearson's air traffic control tower shows that Delta Air Lines Flight 4819 was cleared to land shortly after 2 p.m. and that the tower warned the pilots of a possible air flow "bump" in the glide path from an aircraft in front of it, according to a report from The Canadian Press.

    So wake turbulence could be a factor.

  • For a plane to completely go over like that, I would have to think it was significantly overspeed...

  • To say nothing of,

    [Cindy] Blackstock said Canada has never provided supporting documentation for its claims of misuse, and that there is no evidence of how widespread the problem is.

  • Oh good, my map edits were accepted!

  • I've seen a few episodes here and there. It's charming, and doesn't take itself too seriously (or, honestly, very seriously at all).

  • I will say that S4 gets better as it goes along, and a lot of people would cite it as their favourite.

  • I honestly think season three is one of the best overall seasons of any Trek series. It's got good energy, and I've talked pretty extensively about why I think the ending is pretty great, actually.

    killing Book’s family was kind of idiotic

    The poor species was doomed once they were revealed to be spore drive-compatible. They were never going to take away the lead ship's unique feature.

    Also, background character development feels a bit weak.

    I've probably talked about this before as well, but I think Disco was pretty experimental with the extended cast - they essentially gave what would have been wordless extras on other shows and gave them a bit more to do.

    Ultimately, I think it was a bit of a failed experiment, but at least some talented Canadian actors were able to pad their resumes.

  • Well, I guess the DECA era has officially begun. We'll see what happens next...

  • Yeah...I've been assuming they'll do a separate post for consoles closer to the date, but who knows with the new management?

  • School boards are also very vulnerable to this kind of coordinated attack:

    Low voter turnout, [Take Back Alberta leader David Parker] said, is the key to victory.

    "Albertans and Canadians are apathetic and lazy. They never show up," he said during another October 2023 speech in Calgary. “You could take over every school board in this entire province."

  • If you want continuous music streaming (that is, it's not on-demand, and you'll listen to whatever's playing), Stingray Music (formerly Galaxie) gets the job done.

    I also use CBC Listen, primarily to stream their radio stations, but they've got loads of podcasts and music playlists as well.

  • Were there any local laws that require the contract to be awarded to the cheaper/better provider, even if there are local companies?

    Governments are always pressured to take the lowest bid, regardless of whether that bid is realistic, and regardless of how often it blows up in their faces.

  • You're right, of course - but I'm going to continue to be unimpressed until we get some actual details!

  • More of a set of bullet points than an actual "plan."

    Financial incentives, not penalties, to help consumers afford things like more energy efficient appliances, electric cars, and better home insulation.

    Great - details, please. What kind of incentives, and at what stage of the buying process will they be applied?

    Canada’s biggest emitters will contribute their fair share

    Does this mean the existing carbon tax on industry will remain in place, or...something else?

    Investments towards energy efficient buildings, electrified transportation, and more.

    Meaninglessly vague without details.

    Ensuring fairness for Canadian industries on the global stage, and better integrate with allies in the fight against climate change.

    Word salad.

  • She did note that there are legitimate concerns about some parliamentarians potentially having problematic relationships with foreign officials, exercising poor judgment, behaving naively and perhaps displaying questionable ethics.

    "But I did not see evidence of parliamentarians conspiring with foreign states against Canada," the report concludes.

    "While some conduct may be concerning, I did not see evidence of 'traitors' in Parliament."

    This is encouraging, but there needs to be a mechanism for these "problematic relationships" to be brought out into the public sphere (without it becoming a witch hunt).
