You can do the same thing with chicken wings, combining to stock with drippings from the turkey to males lots of gravy.

It was good at the time while the tv show was still around, and probably again now, but the early 70s, when I was in high school, mostly had a less charitable view of the Monkees.

There was a time when telling people the first concert you ever went to was the Monkees at Maple Leaf Gardens made you decidedly uncool (not that I've ever really been cool).

There is a school near me that always has bikes locked to fences, trees, road signs. Many schools seem to grossly underestimate how many l

In the end, they both look awful. That may or may not be of consequence to the NDP, but for the Conservatives, it is just one more example of how their outrage is performative and calculative, and why they are not a credible alternative.

Multiple hours of tv coverage today, preceded by weeks of media hype, leading to an entirely predictable result. The only real mystery was how the Conservatives and NDP would arrange to dodge the election bullet, without looking like they were arranging anything.

Yup... that's a political and, arguably, an ideological decision. We need to push back against those sorts of actions, and vaccine hesitancy in general, particularly in the wake of Canada losing its measles free status.

Medications are rarely covered outside a hospital unless you have an employer provided plan. As to services integral to a procedure, several Provincial governments are doing that sort of thing lately. We need to push back.

Unfortunately I have seen that exact argument used all to often by people who really believe it. We really need that Sarcastica font.

Go ahead. Explain what is unique about the United States when it comes to healthcare. Be specific.
Hint. It's not a compatibility issue. It's a political choice, and the US has chosen profit over health.

Healthcare provider: I don't know, nor do we need to. Let's focus on your health and what we need to do.

Every grocery store has prices on their products. I can choose to buy or not buy particular products, may have alternatives, & I can add things up in my head before I get to the cash. And I'm not in pain or unconscious while shopping.
Your comparison of healthcare and groceries is nonsense.

There is some reporting that ibdicates this was a smart legal move that looks harsh now but will force some hands.

KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business.
-if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her.
-if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet.
-instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.

Of the 1,100 men he had recruited, only 160 returned alive.
In the statue in Uxbridge he is shown pondering a letter, telling Mary Walton that her husband has been killed. The letter in his hand begins: “Dear Mary . . .” He has been described as someone who died not in battle, but of battle.

I'm perfectly comfortable with Poilievre losing support... He's earned that... but crossing the floor generally ensures you have no influence anywhere, and is the end of a political career. I would rather he sat as an independent, or resign completely and run as a Liberal in the Byelection

I'm not sure cutting and pasting their election rhetoric into a new document counts as "working really hard".

This is good, and I'll be grateful when it's done, and I understand the limitations. Fewer cars and lower speeds need to happen as well... The latter through reduced speed limits, enforcement, and eliminating right turns on red, and the former through improved transit

Nothing. What part of the legal requirement for a Crown Corporation to be financially self supporting is confusing to you?
I agree it should be a service but, legally, it isn't. Until the law is changed, CPC is in a bind.

Lansdowne 2.0 does more of the same on a larger scale, and yet proponents say it will be successful in ways 1.0 has completely failed. Believing the promises of 2.0 can only be based on hope and, as they say, hope is not a strategy.

But it should die on the financials anyway, and that's without having to dig deep.
Lansdowne 1.0 promised $70 million in return to the city and delivered zero.
Lansdowne 2.0 is promising more than $400 million, and the AG report says that it might deliver zero

Poilievre doesn't have enough votes to pull the trigger. It would need to be almost all the opposition parties. The Liberals need just three opposition votes or, more simply, just three opposition MPs to be absent.

A reminder that all it takes is just three opposition MPs not showing up for the budget vote for the Liberals to pass it. That way they dont have to support the budget and don't have to face another election.

I agree that Canada Post should be a public service, and I am not advocating for the private sector. I am saying it's realistic to believe the private sector will vociferously oppose competition from the government. And it's also safe to say they have no incentive to "suck it up".
