I find it interesting that the story opinion piece does not identify the production that they claim will be excluding non-black persons from attending. Such requires a little perspective. From the NAC site. https://nac-cna.ca/en/event/30546 I had never heard of Black Out nights before, but...

Any health profession that requires a license to practice on civvy street also requires the exact same license to do the same job in the military. One of the CAF occupational requirements is to obtain and maintain that license from the appropriate regulatory body of a Canadian province or...

Licensing of health care professionals (HCPs) responding to disasters/emergencies in jurisdictions outside that where they are licensed is (or was in my experience) one of the things that's considered when deploying in situations where they may be providing care to civilian patients. In Canada...

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-64341315 At an awards ceremony in 1991 he quipped "For a guy who was supposed to be dead a couple years ago, I'm doing pretty well." He lived longer than many expected. His music will probably last a lot longer.

Some of it specifically falls within the NATO definition of "defence expenditure", and a lot of it could be shoehorned in. Just as other member countries will tally their Ukraine expenses using that metric, so should Canada. What that 2% NATO commitment includes...

Except, as it roughly stands at the moment, the CPC with Poilievre at the helm is a 35% solution. Even though the LPC trails that, the PM's 'personal' favorability is ahead of PP (though neither are 'well liked' throughout the country). It's that difference and the traditional efficiency of...

He was the guy who got rid of the tan DEUs. Said they made him look like a sack of shit tied in the middle. With his physique, understandable; I liked them however.

No, it's the Parole Board of Canada that decides on pardons record suspensions. https://laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-47/page-1.html#h-135214 However, ss. 748 and 749 of the Criminal Code does provide for pardons and remissions to be granted by His Majesty or the Governor in Council...

Yes, we lived a 'Dickensian Christmas Carol' existence. :rolleyes: It was expected that that there would be an apple and an orange in your stocking (a real wool sock, not one of those fanciful made up Xmas stockings). And with the fresh orange there was always the much preferred 'Chocolate...

They definitely failed to meet their mission statement. ". . . even though Lifestar Ambulance Service, Inc. is a for-profit, privately owned Ambulance Company; it dedicates itself to giving the very best service at an equitable cost to its patients."
