That means more access to new equipment for our Armed Forces, more investment in Canada, and massive opportunities for Canadian workers and businesses.

So today a local business leader informed one of our clergy that he wanted them to stop being so political. “You have stuff like ‘respect the dignity of every human being’ up on your website. That’s over the line” he said. I hate this timeline so much.

The Notion that renewables can't provide enough power has infected the mind of decision makers at all levels. Just in the last couple months, we had a Regina city councillor questioning our city's sustainability plan b/c, "There's only so much renewable." #yqrcc
People used to say, with great confidence, that variable renewables could never safely provide more than 5% of grid power. That estimate has crept up ever since, though the "great confidence" part never wavers.
Anyway, about China ...

Alberta has taken some steps to address invasive wild pigs, announcing a partial moratorium on wild boar farms and a partial ban on sporting hunting of free-ranging invasive wild pigs.
These are good moves but are incomplete and 35 years late.

Undoing the two-generation cutoff for status under the Indian Act is a huge, HUGE change. And overdue.
Métis and Inuit have no formalized, regulated 'blood quantum' cutoff. It's beyond unjust that First Nations are subject to this.
