If we have to take at least 16 of the F-35s then we do need the infrastructure and training on them. I wish there was a way to not even take those 16.

Weird. She acknowledges that is the government’s decision but is spending anyway to pressure?

Asked by Kapelos whether it makes sense to spend time and money preparing for the purchase only for the government to potentially back out of it, Carignan said: “That will be for the government to decide.”

Every day I wish all you Hippies Good morning.I think this is why I’m described as an old hippy:
I lived on my boat
I make my own soap
I grow veggies
Yesterday,I planted 3 more native trees in the naturalized part of my lot
I put up food
I make quilts, some upcycled fabrics
Laundry = Clothesline

LTC homes given immunity for deaths.
Hospital ER’s closing
Health Care so bad people die in waiting rooms, or hallways of hospitals, having never been seen.
Speed cameras near schools banned.
Environment laws abandoned
Every dev request automatically approved, even on wetlands and Agra lands.

immigrants are scapegoated.

They thought “freedom” meant dignity. I wish they’d known that in Canada, it can actually mean that. It breaks my heart to think some of them might have made it there, only to find a nightmare.

Are they ok? Are they struggling? Are they scared? I wish I knew. 😔

To many Canadians, Jonathan Crombie will always be Gilbert Blythe from Anne of Green Gables but he did so much more in his life and career.
He was a great Canadian actor, taken far too soon.
This is his story

New research shows artificial intelligence can be very persuasive with medical advice and experts say our faith in it is eating into a patient’s valuable time with an actual doctor.
