    Reconstitution

    Just around 178 or so in a 1 year span that the ship I was on could sail (got it back out of refit when I showed up). Not to mention most of that sailing was a week here, weekend there. Really lead to a extremely poor work/life balance. I would have preferred a longer span out followed by a...

    Reconstitution

    Because it’s a terrible one. Got rid of the fun stuff. Kept the worst. And it isn’t even a average 9/5 like the Army/Airforce is the majority of the time. Who wants to be away from home and all your electronic gizmos to be crammed on a boat with 250 other people working 7 days a week for...

    The low productivity of Canadian companies threatens our living standards

    A huge part of that is lacking the paper qualifications. We look down on the concept of people being capable of doing a job without having a certification/degree behind it. It goes against our university/college worshipping we do in Canada. We also do hate innovation in the workforce. I worked...

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    True, but you can catch criminal charges for shipping illegal goods through Canada Post. Not exactly a game I would play myself.

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    The article is likely incorrectly using terms (or just as likely the ignorant government is incorrectly using terms and the media is parroting it). Those firearms are no longer restricted they are prohibited. Canada post is unable to handle prohibited firearms currently. Therefore the...

    Teen Walmart worker found dead at store in mysterious oven incident - Halifax

    Could be malfunction (or even broken for a while just not fixed). Could be actively disabled because it is inconvenient, could be person panicked (or wasn’t properly trained) and failed to activate any of them. All of the above is just speculation but from what I have seen of safety systems is...

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    Don’t worry some provinces are already proposing long knife, sword, machete, etc. bans because magically crime didn’t disappear when guns were banned. I propose we get rid of the common denominator myself, it’s not like we don’t know whose causing most these issues and we don’t have records of...

    Ontario Majority Government 2022-2026 (?)

    Honestly this bike lane thing is about the only thing Ford has really proposed that I actually like. My city elected a city council which greatly favours the bikers as a special interest group. We turned more than a few throughways into single lane streets and now they are wondering why traffic...

    The War in Ukraine

    Trotsky lived in a fortified compound in Mexico city, didn’t do him much good

    Islamic Terrorism in the West ( Mega thread)

    We also haven’t been above replacement birth rate since 1971, so this isn’t a new issue for Canada. This isn’t just millennials not having kids, this is multiple generations actively making that decision from baby boomer down.

    Islamic Terrorism in the West ( Mega thread)

    Another popular one is health inspecting, because it’s only a 4 year degree in a similar field. I had family do that course in the early 2000s with such notables as a Russian brain surgeon and a couple other eastern European trained doctors. This isn’t necessarily a Federal issue, this is a...

    Pro/Anti Child Bearing Policies (split from "Canada don’t matter" thread)

    It’s poor family planning to have kids older, and it isn’t just you that suffers, it’s future generations. For example my family is young for a Canadian born family. I had a kid before 30. My parents had a kid before 25, my grandparents had a kid before 25. The result is the child has...

    Trust in our Institutions

    Nothing new there, we have known for over a decade that we are a money laundering safe haven. Thats what gave our real estate market the initial kick in Vancouver and Toronto. Looks like it’s more than just the housing market that money is being laundered in. Politicians are afraid to do...

    First Nations - CF help, protests, solutions, residential schools, etc. (merged)

    100%, most Canadians don’t realize that drinking water is usually handled by your municipality. There is so much more to it than building a water plant as well, half the issue is maintaining it/getting operators for it, most Reserves are unable to do so.
