McGuinty says that while the province hasn’t formally asked for military help

Because provinces never formally ask for military help. They put in a request for assistance to the federal government, which decides what federal assistance (which can include military) will be provided, and what the terms are for ending the assistance.

Google reader used to to it too. Then it died.

I won’t get hurt like thst again.

I disagree with the interoperability argument for passenger rail.

There is only one CANUS rail service, and it is operated by AMTRAK. None electric trains can still run on electrified track.

Separate locomotives for the corridor may be an option, but 8 inow little of rail operations.

Hydro Québec is investing into remote and autonomous infrastructure surveillance and repair in a big way.

Hopefully that can follow in Canada.

I mean, Ukraine gave up their nukes on the promise they would never be invaded…

Avoid planting anything new for the first year. Listen to the garden and see what is has amd what it wants.

See if there are master gardeners nearby.

I’d like to tell you it gets better…

Cloth diapers can definitely be hard if you dont have on-site laundry. We were lucky enough to live somewhere with a diaper service when we didn’t have laundry.

We did use some disposables throughout (mostly for logistical reasons) but we still saved 5,000+ diapers fron landfill.

If you’ve got a young’n:

• Go cloth diapers over disposable most the time. We went woth a diaper servce to start, then bought our own once we had it figured out.
• For the ebike: we waited until kiddo was old enough for a bike seat (10 mo in our case, but ~12 mo) for the ebike. This let us get a longtail that is cheaper, mechanically simpler, and we can store inside instead of a bucket style bike

came to Canada in 1997 on a temporary work permit. Although his permit expired after four years, he never left.

He was able to support himself by working cash jobs until 2023

I’d say 26 years working and trying to find work for 2+ more years is long enough for EI benifits. MPs get a pensions after only 6 years.

Metric space ships DO shoot lasers, mostly just for science or communications though. Star Wars space ships shoot turbo blaster, not lasers.

Metric space ships don’t shoot photos torpedo, but they do use photon IMUs. Star wars space ships shoot proton torpedos not photon torpedos (they may or may not use photon IMU for guidance)

That’s a nice phone you got there.

Be a real shame if something happened to it.

How about a little protection money just to make sure nothing happens?

That’s not the direction RIM/BB has taken through it’s history.

I mean, it did try outsourcing manufacturing, but as a reactionary and emergency measure, rather than planned one.

Yes, but that doesn’t provide any products or services to anybody.

What’s rhe value proposition of sitting in the stock market?

Air conditioning pumps exchanges heat with the air. Fluid heat pumps exchange it with the water.

The same amount of heat is being displaced regardless; the question is how much new heat is being created by the mechanisms involved (and their related power generation).

Toronto has a similar system(s) exchanging heat with Lake Ontario (BIG thermal mass holder)

Eurovision 2027?

We make all the military people buy mess kit with no reimbursement or tax refund. So if the GG should get ultraformal wear covered, so should other federal uniform services.
