Dayforce (Ceridian) is the company. Hopefully, they bring the right software. They have done the payroll for parts of the Ontario public service for years (agencies, boards and commissions - I don't know if they handle the broader provincial public sector) with a fairly diverse set of...

No clue. I would think under our current system that would be considered contract law.

Ontario pretty much ignores everything north of Steeles Ave. Quebec has certainly developed their portion of the Clay Belt more than Ontario. In terms of their far north, the geography is much more 'mountainous' which favoured large-scale hydro-electric development. In order for the province...

In order for a matter to get to the Supreme Court there has to be an initial violation of a criminal or administrative law or a civil action. I can't envision what set of circumstances would lead to a criminal charge where a fetus' Charter Rights would be argued. Maybe there is - I just can't...

Regardless of allocation method or formula, how do we get bums in seats? Elected or appointed are the two choices (short of press gangs which are likely out of favour).

At least he used the term 'warship'.

I love the passion but you really need to see the places that you envision as deepwater ocean ports. First, most are not on the Bay, they are upstream on shallow silt-laden deltas, just like Moosonee. Peawanuk is 35 kilometers upriver. I don't know the reason they are not actually on the bay...

But it's not a "port" in pretty much any practical sense of the word. It's a town - on water, shallow water - that provides some small level of barge service. Any bulk pressurized gas ship I have seen photos of are pretty large. The whole area on the west side of Hudson's and James Bays is...

Fair enough, but my argument was WRT NATO spending, even if it somehow endorses such activities. Moosonee is about 15 shallow, thready sandbar-riven kilometers from James Bay, suitable for small flat-bottomed barges. It would require constant, absolutely constant, dredging for any kind of...

I remember the AVRO Vulcan coming to the Toronto Air Show a couple of times. Coming in low then performing a sharp climb. They had a distinctive howl and were also very loud.

I realize that NATO funding is a bit of slippery target between the Alliance's partners, but lumping in activities like domestic fire suppression and domestic law enforcement, regardless of whether it is being performed by our federal police service, into our NATO commitment seems just wrong...

We'll see how this goes. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/wildfires-climate-military-canada-1.7200878

In the grand scheme of things, and particularly in light of your two current challenges, this forum knows its place. Pace yourself.

PA: We're going to close on the enemy ship'. Checks Union booklet. Putting a gun on a civilian ship doesn't make it a military ship.

I saw an interesting graphic on another forum showing Melbourne closer to Antarctica than Darwin.

Until it goes 'bzzzzt' in the middle of the ocean. Even with remote monitoring, an Enbridge crew is likely no more than an hour or two away and nobody is going be shooting at them enroute.

This is why nobody talks to military or IT folk at parties.

1042/18 You mean Private Member Bills? According to the Canadian Parliamentary Review, between Jan 1994 and Oct 2000 (four sittings) there were 1042 PMBs introduced in the House; a grand total of 18 received Royal Assent. Not a great track record. Pushing for legislation that is in direct...

That article is dated. The bulk or all of the RoF is now owned by Wayloo Metals out of Australia. I haven't been following it that closely but I think they are back to a road link. Higher operating costs but lower up front. I've travelled around up there and can't imagine how they intend to...

The blackflies are pretty bad right now. Then again, it would demonstrate commitment.
