One of the problems with recruiting new officers is the profession attracts people of a certain mindset.

Don't be flyin no kites these days. You might get a little visit from an F-16.

Says here it was an "unidentified cylindrical object." https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-still-gives-no-details-about-alaska-ufo-new-object-seen-over-canada-2023-02-11/

I dunno. Why'd he cave so fast, without a fight? Something smells fishy to me. Reminds me of that time when Patrick Brown was suddenly "resigned". Next thing you know, in walked Doug. He walked right into the Premiership. Majority winner, landslide.

Yet he resigned, and did so right away. No fuss, no muss. Bim bam boom.

Was it not Beitish colonialism that subjucated non-whites the world over? The strength and power of Brittania is built upon the bones of the dead. Which is where you're from, I believe. Die on your own swords now, all toxic leftists.

I have (some) faith that the majority of old-school Canadians know what poopoo smells like, and will do the right thing. Get rid of Turdeua. I see it as white leftist angst and self-lioathing, seeking a way to purge themselves , so they may walk again in purity. It's too bad it amounts to sfa to the actual blacks in the ghetto. As a Canadian I say, show me real action not bravado. Not circuses, not divisive gestures and empty words.

I've been thinking about this same point, but in other contexts. It's how a hitler finally gets elected. Willingly, full embrace. The people shall call for a strongman to rule them. And kill the fook outta the other guys!

I say under no circumstances do the police have the right to lay a beating on the perpetrator, whether they intended his death or not.

It's prolly true. I didn't watch the video but I red some news. I should be allowed to resist arrest at least a little, before getting my head blown clean off, for example. That comes down to officer training. Did officers get lots of training lately for dealing with resisting arrest, espoecialy black arrests? You betcha... Did white officers get even more, special directives than blacks? Do't know, but I see it. Yeah, prolly,,, White officers went in there and killed the shit out of some blacks, so they sent in black officers instead, who went in there and killed the shit out of some blacks...

My qusetion- would he be aliv e today if them were white cops? ya, prolly...

I think these symbolic gestures are a waste of time in that they do not produce anything tangible. It seems more like an effort to make "whites" feel good in that they can visibly express their support, but need give little else. A form of purging. Look, I am anti-racist! And you'd better get on the mainstream wagon. More rah rah rah. I didn't hear a harumph from that guy. Trow the bum out! .... But no, what they see as tangible is the National Arts gallery hosting a show in which only blacks can buy a ticket. Even mixed families may not attend. Real Canadians don't like this.

It's fine to ridicule something that you think is stupid. IMO there is (almost) a compulsion or irresistible urge to eradicate all racism that shows signs of going too far. Anti-racism taken to extremes is not non-racism, in that it creates additional problems. And I can give real world examples from lately, for any those of you who do not habla... 2. I think the majority of Canadians hate racism, and consider themselves non-racist. Yet racism still exists. Which for me, raises a deeper question. Why do we associate the black man with crime, for example. The answer is obvious, but the reason why is not. Many criminals are black. That is to say, visible minority. It's easy to equate the person with black skin to the criminals we see on the news at night, or on police most wanted lists. But that does not explain why it happens that way, and the answer, comes back to the fault of government and failure in our society. The real root of crime is poverty, I say. And you can look at cities and see their ghettos, who lives in them? Who lives in Cabbage Town, and the High Rises of Jane and Finch? You know who. Among them are also whites, of course. They are just as susceptible to growing up in a ghetto and having to survive. They join the gangs, bro. ... Government are the ones who make us see it as a race issue, not a poverty issue. That way the finger doesn't point at... them.

Im not agreeing with you, since you haven't said much of your own ideas merely countering what I've said. You think it's "crazy", but the reality was one of the best health care systems in the free world. That is no more. It was delivered by people who were passionate about health care, not upwardly mobile careers in insurance sales.

No duh. Everything said here was the argument put forth at the time these changes quietly took place. Yes yes... the best people cost the most money. Wrong. I say it is wrong in the context of health care, and I only say this anecdotally. The best people in health care are there for another reason, not the money. Not even the money, and I can demonstrate the times when nurses sacrifice their own personal time to work long shifts, due to the fact there are staff shortages. Staff shortages due to the fact that business managers don't want to fill positions with medical people who cost more. It's a misconception that you're either a doctor or the hospital president. These people were both. They still saw patients, and ran the management side of things at the same time. Talk about efficient. Don 't like my theories? Well, the thirty years that followed speak for themselves. Cost went up out of sight, and services crashed and failed. End of the golden age in health care in Canada. Exactly who's fault is it that a hospital cannot provide enough services to the community, if not the administration? I have to do my job and meet my goals, or I'm let go. Is there anything they should be held accountable for? The answer is to have them all dismissed. Fired, removed. Rrrrouted...

Hospital administration should not be run by non-medical people. This change took place about 30 years ago. I was there and saw how the long-term effects took hold. Over a period of time they expanded the role of administration, yet they reduced hospital beds. In our hospital here they shut down about 400 beds between 1990 - 2010. It was noted that while they preached openly about "fiscal restraint" in the clinic, they helped themselves to the biggest slice of the pie. And having nice christmas bonuses, parties to celebrate their various achievements all expenses paid, an wit all de trimmings. Compounding the problem is the influence of insurance people and lawyers. Once these folks are calling the shots, it's game over.

Boges, aside from telling me what I think, which is always a mistake, you are basically agreeing with the issues I've raised. No one is being forced to get an EV. Even in a decade people could keep their ICE vehicles as long as Gasoline was a reasonable fuel source, which I suspect it might not be. So then they will be forced. I figure that Canada wants to be an EV poster-boy to the world. Guess who's face on the poster. Complete, with a green halo... Point is Mr. Trudeau likes high gas prices, and looks forward to the day when gas is no longer available. There is nothing wrong with it in principle, it's just how we get there. And what we replace it with. Battery tech will have to scale, Green Tech will have to grow, and charger availability will have to grow. It's not there yet. You missed what really has to grow, besides Teebeard's puny intellect, that is. There is not enough power available. Or let me guess... you might go with the gas-powered generator to charge the EV. lmao I'm the first to say that these are really only for commuters with Single-Family homes in places with reasonable electricity rates. But even at that, carmakers can't keep them in stock. Admit what they really are... the latest status symbol for the liberal bourgeoise.

Get back to me when they fix or address these probllems. They still haven't addressed the issue of toxic waste from cfl's and diode lights. Just like they never did fix the problem of plastic in the environment. Just like they never did, nor ever will fix the problem with nuclear waste. Because you have faith in government.

I don't do requests. If you don't understand the problem, you end up asking the wrong questions. More like, what is wrong with the rollout of EV's. Quite a lot, actually. The government's threat to stop the sale of ICE's in a few years is simply environmental virtue signalling. Canada will not even make a dent in reducing global carbon, yet are to be held up like an example. Just so you people can all go and polish your halos. Second there is not the electrical infrastructure to support the entire country switching to battery power. There is not enough time to build the required infrastructure given the timeline the government has put forward. Third that there is no plan to address the environmental hazards of these new technologies themselves. These batteries are toxic and incendiary if they go off. Fourth, there is already known a limited supply of the rare earth materials. Projections already show we won't make it much beyond 2030. It should be no surprise, that the government plan is incompetent. Unless of course, you're also incompetent which is likely the case. See how it works, sonny.

Dismiss it all you want, you're free to do so. Of course your interests wouldn't be at arms length, you went and bought one. And yet admitted you also own an ice vehicle. Not bad, not bad. Sounds like a toy to me. But this isn't about you, no one really cares what you do. Point is, these cells are highly volatile. Not when you use them properly, but say in an accident. Not only do they cause incredibly hot fires that don't go out, but they can also electrocute your ass. Here is a linky-dink- WHAT IF THAT BURNING CAR HAS A LITHIUM-ION BATTERY? That's from the fire-fighters. Here's one that makes the same points I do. What are the fire safety risks of lithium-ion batteries? What will we need to think about as these batteries become ubiquitous? The central risk with lithium-ion batteries is fire. The batteries are unlikely to catch fire – but they can, through faults inside the battery, or from external damage. And when they do catch fire, the consequences can be serious. Cosmos spoke to Magrabi at the 2022 Australasian Fire and Emergency Services Council (AFAC) conference in Adelaide, where he’d given a talk on battery fire safety. “It’s an emerging risk, we’re still coming to grips with it. It’s very different from any other battery system we have,. .... In other words this is a very real problem, and they don't have a solution yet. You're driving a potential death-trap. Sounds like the Ford Pinto all over again...

Actually you guys are battin a pretty high average though. /OW

No, the conspiracy was before when they were lying and saying there wasn't one. There is multiple layers, you see. That's why they got you people's heads spinning round and round, like a top.

Cue the hand-waving arguments. You didn't even touch the issue of fast charging, but then what can you say. This battery tech has so many issues that we should not be blind to now, at the beginning of the EV "experiment". Just like we ignored the implicit hazard of plastic bags when they came out 30 years ago. Because, "Save the trees. " It all seemed so obvious to you people at the time. Well, look at you now.

Uh huh lmao
