Culturally redneck. Further right than most of you pinkos, but I ain't drinking at the Nazi bar.
Alright, if Ma skimped on the Secret Santa but took a gift, that's pretty gutless.

And now my kids are baking gingerbread dinosaurs with me. And at some point they'll realize its weird and ask why.
We do some more traditional shapes too, for grandma.

Van dusen ain't cheap, but dang do you get your money's worth of Christmas lights.
Well worth it for how much the kids enjoyed it. (My inner prairie cheapskate still thinks Lafarge is better because its free).

If this is accurate, there should be at least one 'thanks for your service, congratulations on your retirement' sent to a very high-ranking civil servant.

![From the quote-posted article:
"In the years since the 2021 flood, Abbotsford and neighbouring municipalities identified an array of new infrastructure necessary to prevent a repeat scenario. [Abbotsford Mayor] Mr. Siemens said funding requests for those projects were largely ignored by higher levels of government.
“We don’t need empty promises from the federal government that they have our back,” he said.
“In fact, the federal government has not even reached out to me during this event. So, I’m profoundly disappointed.”"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:p7wjyn5bebiuc7ws4ujhilxy/bafkreigrrfkjs2tbgb4lgvwr3a4whordi2xvj5j2hm76unwjs4jjesxity@jpeg)

NB Court of Appeal reaffirms the conventional and long-established understanding of Aboriginal title, that it is an exclusive right to occupy, posses and use the land (and therefore incompatible with fee simple).

So you're already targeting a subset of a subset of all firearms deaths. Are tighter classifications and prohibitions effective at targeting this subset? Also no.
Criminals already have a hard time getting access to guns, and don't care about legality. Smuggled Yankees guns are the problem.

But surely within the criminal subset, these are crucial policy interventions? No. Within the subset of firearm deaths that are homicides, victims killed with a long gun average about 1/2 the annual number as handgun victims.
Handguns are regulated much tighter already, not affected here.

First, most gun deaths are suicide. So any firearms policy aimed at harm to others is already dealing with a subset. For obvious reasons, rate of fire, projectile energy and magazine capacity don't make much difference either way re: suicide.

SCC disagrees with you. Unless you can explain how two parties can have exclusive possession of the same thing.
![From the decision in 2014 SCC 44, Tsilhqot'in Nation v. British Columbia:
"The Court in Delgamuukw summarized the content of Aboriginal title by two propositions, one positive and one negative.

Well surely this won't be a problem for diversifying exports from the US if our busiest port and only major Pacific port is abysmal.
Maybe with another ten years of negotiating, consulting, labour action and intergovernmental work we can decide to unfuck this.

If you want to pivot away from US export, oil is the extremely obvious place to start. It's our largest single export category by far, and due to lack of transportation infrastructure, we sell it at a discount to the states vs what we could get on the world market.
What's your plan?

Friend of a friend had more luck than my buddy. Nice size buck, and nobody's gonna be bashful about hanging these horns on the wall.

And to state the extremely obvious, if you're going to Ottawa with a $350B shopping list (~1/6 our annual GDP, for ~5% of the population) someone is eventually gonna ask where the money will come from?

Keynes's 1919 description of life in 1914 feeling uncomfortably resonant right now.
Shame they were still rationing periods in 1919, this could be a bit punchier.

It is the easiest way to pay for a future though. After all, it pays for our present (see equalization chart). The easiest and most reliable way to diversify and increase our exports is crude to the pacific.

What do you think happens to the 47% of your salary paid by grants in a world where Canada is getting poorer, and govt money is going to support white elephant industries instead of things that work?
You willing to volunteer that 47% to be first on the chopping block?

Bit of a mirage behind the headline. Other than housing and government spending, it's looking pretty flat to poor.

(5) Generally, people from the 7/10 provinces, being ~86% of the national population, who receive equalization payments from the taxpayers who curiously happen to be co-located with functional resource industries. (Probably just a coincidence.)

I don't give a shit about yankee tech companies, I'm trying to convince people that Canada needs a functioning economy to resist yankees.
Are you even Canadian?
And if so, are you living in one of the three provinces that can run an economy without demanding handouts?
