It was utterly unnecessary. The province could easily have approached hunters, removed bag limits from that island as they have done with other ones, maybe set limits for a special tag to hunt the island so you didn't get too many people showing up and the problem would have been resolved. We've done this before it's not hard. Best to do it around the time of the rut because those males are extremely nocturnal otherwise but it really would have been no problem. But then the federal government wouldn't have been the ones to solve it and they don't want to miss a single opportunity to exercise their authority. This was exactly a make work project. It's money spent for no good reason. And why bringing people from other countries for that matter? There are a crap ton of excellent hunters and Shooters who would have been happy to do it here

I'd say that you're stretching things a little there, i think you could say that those who are religious will TEND to be republican and republicans are LIKELY to vote for the republican candidate, if they vote at all. However i think in general it's pretty common to ignore the flaws in the politician when it comes to voting. I'm trying to remember past us candidates or presidents who had NO 'questionable' attributes. Regan MAYBE? but even then his mental health was a bit of a question mark. For sure the current trend towards tribalism causes many to overlook the deficiencies of a candidate to give excuses to why they're not considering "The other side". And that's not unique to America. I think regardless of their religious affiliations or anything else people have come to look at politics in the same way they look at sports, and they tend to root for what they perceive to be their home team. Not everyone, but many. Elections are one or lost based on the reaction of that mushy middle that could go one way or another.

I get the analogy and it's a fair point, but the difference is that the firefighters won't be the ones having to do the rebuilding, and the building doesn't start the moment that the fire is out. There's time to sit and think. That's not the case here. At some point there will literally be a moment where they transition from war to aftermath of war. There won't be a lot of time to sit and think. In addition they will be receiving tons of pressure from the international community. If they don't know what they want and what their intentions are, then when people start demanding they do something they may wind up having to agree to something that they don't want at all. Don't enter a negotiation without knowing what you want to get out of it, and the end of this war is going to be a negotiation for sure. So it is critical that they know what they want and have a plan that they can sell. I just don't think they're going to share that plan until we get there. -
The health care system is failing; give us choice.
CdnFox replied to blackbird's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
There were a number of problems with that report as it turned out. They only considered 'permanent' residents, they took population figures from one year but doctors from the next, etc etc. and not all the doctors were actually active. They may still have their license but they could be retired already or semi retired. But the biggest issue which isn't addressed in that report (tho it's alluded to in the article) is that the vast majority of those doctors are specialists, and not family doctors or GP's as they've been known. There is far less money in being a GP than there is being a specialist doctor. So there's a horrible shortage of them and that's why people can't find one. Unfortunately that's a major block to health care because you can only see a specialist if referred by a GP as a rule. The problem will remain until the provinces make it more attractive to be a GP in Canada. -
Why so many MPs based on our population?

ROFLMAO - well i certainly have enough of a brain to not dox myself online kiddo Put it this way - not digging ditches so we woudln't have worked together The problem there is "if". That one word makes the rest of your sentence and the next one meaningless You came her and said "AZZIES AND MURIKA HAVE LESS PER POP THAN WE DO SO WE BAD". That's it. That's the height of your logic. That doesn't fly for anyone with an education higher than grade 6. If you're going to make that case then you would have to explain WHY having LESS representation in the house of commons would deliver a financial savings AND not reduce services or voice for the people. And you'd have to make an argument for what WOULD be the most efficient number? THe us and austrailia have different representations - so which one is correct? They can't BOTH be right according to you Some kid in the US could be on a forum right now saying that Australia and Canada both have more representation than the US and therefore the US should have more senators and representatives. If you can't make a case then you're just talking out of your ass and that's fine but don't get mad if people point and laugh -
LOL - this from the guy who, what is it, 3 times now posted proof that i was right himself by accident? ROFLMAO - what were you saying the other day about living rent free in people's heads ? The reason you wind up looking like an illiterate m0r0n every time we scrap is BECAUSE i do my research and only pipe up about things i know. Which is also why you are always reduced to insisting that the reason you're wrong is because my posts are long and because of my post count And if you spilled your drink it's probably because you didn't use two hands like your mommy told you to LOLOL!!!

Those same countries all recognized nazi germany in the day. But you'd have been on the wrong side of history if you SUPPORTED the nazis. Just as you're on the wrong side of history here supporting the terrorists.

True, and if the shooter also happens to be a light skinned male hetero smoker who owns guns and a bible then we hit max crimeyness and somewhere in the world a leftist explodes.

I have to take your word for it. It's not quite the same in Canada. Well many religious people might tend to favor the right somewhat a lot of them don't. Our own prime minister who's about is left as you can get shy of Castro is a self-acclaimed Catholic for example, Quebecers who tend to the left are very religious. I would guess that there's a higher percent of christian based religions on the conservative side but it's no where near that much. But it still leaves many questions, such as are they practicing or just that's what they were raised? etc etc.

Canada's finance minister says.... Canada's Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said on Tuesday that the federal budget presented to the Parliament last month had created conditions for interest rates to come down. The government has "been very mindful of acting in such a way that would create conditions that support the decline in inflation, or creating conditions that would make it possible for the (central) bank to bring interest rates down," she told reporters at a conference in Ottawa. She, however, said the Bank of Canada (BoC) is independent and it will be the bank's decision to cut interest rates on June 5 or not. The federal budget, presented on April 16, has increased new spending by over C$50 billion ($36.66 billion) over the next five years, prompting analysts and economists to say that it could likely stoke inflation and prevent from interest rates coming down earlier than the BoC could. "We have been conscious of our side of things," Freeland said, when asked if June would be a right time for the central bank to cut rates. BoC Governor Tiff Macklem said last month that the federal budget had not significantly altered Canada's fiscal path. The bank has kept interest rates steady at a 23-year high of 5% since July 2023 and money markets see almost 6 You gotta love this - they increase spending which ALWAYS pressures inflation and then say they did their job, if the BoC doesn't drop rates it's because it's THEIR fault.

CdnFox replied to West's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
he may have one but not want to release it just yet. I have a funny feeling it might involve permanent occupation. There's no chance he went through all of this only to turn the country back over and then wait for them to rebuild. But admitting to that now may very well have a strong impact on whether or not people give him any more goodies. -
Yeah this particular one is kind of weird. It's like a cross-over between bambi and 'red dawn'. Young deer running for cover as helicopter gunships fly overhead while they plot their revenge having already outsmarted the local ground forces.... Yup. When they said "you can trust us to treat your money as if it were our money", we should have listened a little more closely.

Now you know better than most that commonality doesn't mean causality or even common causality. I guess we'd have to see some data to have a better idea of just how strong the correlation is but it might be just as simple as people with like minded interests tend to live in areas of people with like minded interests, and that if you did reseaerch you might also find those people tended to prefer muffins over bagels for breakfast but i doubt that being republican or Christian would have much to do with that

Ontario needs to invest in EVs as a realistic Option.
CdnFox replied to Boges's topic in Provincial Politics in Canada
But the wiring and infrastructure belongs to the strata. How are you this dense? Everybody has their own meter but it goes through the electrical main boxes owned by and maintained by the strata and if you overload that by too many people drawing on it you get brown outs or blown breakers or other damage. Which means the strata has to call someone out to do repairs and reset things. In the meantime the others who share that circuit bank with you are without power. You do understand electricity travels over wires right? It doesn't just show up at your meter FFS. Stupidity ticks me off. And no - you're not telling me about your experiences. You're completely bullshitting that stratas some how are not involved with the provision of electrical services to your unit. They are. And you're suggesting that everyone can just order a charger from amazon and plug it in with no extra costs, which they can't. And that strata may say 'sorry can't do that' which is 100 percent true, they can. And they'll have to if more than a few people put a phase 2 charger in. Unless they make other modifications. No, i am not. This is an area of expertise for me. I am 100 percent correct, i guarantee it. Townhouses and condominiums share electrical infrastructure. Hydro does not run power to each unit individually, they run it to the strata, it's distributed to the main breaker boxes in the case of at town house which is inside a little shed thing, usually 3 or 4 per strata complex depending on the size, and then it runs to the individual homes. The individual homes will have meters either at the home or in the electrical room and the utility charges from there but the infrastructure still belongs to the strata and it's limited to whatever the developer put in. That infrastructure does not belong to hydro and it was never designed to allow for ev use and in many parts of the country it wasn't even designed to allow for extensive air conditioner use. There might be some sort of weird bare land strata that gets power directly but there would only be a handful in all of canada and they're specifically referred to as 'bare land'. 99.9 percent of the stratas out there work as i just said. BTW just for your own knowledge, each unit in an apartment tower ALSO has their own electric meter. Probably because not everybody is charging an ev. So it hasn't been a problem. But that does NOT mean that it won't be a major problem if even half the people are running ev's. Your strata would have to come up with some species of load balancing strategy based on their wiring and what it can support that would stretch that out, but then you'll have slower charging some times. It is no different than an electrical circuit in your home. Your breaker box distributes power to 3 or 4 outlets, you can plug only so many things into those outlets before the breaker blows. And if you complain to the utility about it they're going to say 'that's how your home was destigned, you'd have to get an electrician to upgrade your internal services for you. So as a parent with bills to pay you'll probably tell the kids to stop plugging that much crap into the outlets. Rather than pay thousands for an electrical upgrade. -
Yes - it responded to me saying you were too fragile and my nasty words threatened your poor delicate ego Apparently i'm a 'threat' to your well being And i love that you need an AI program to stand up for you because you can't LOLOLOLOL Sorry princess - didn't mean to upset you that bad

Sounded to me like the AI was more worried about you than me LOL even the AI knows you're a fragile little baby But it's hilarious that you didn't recognize that and post it it's response here ROFLMAO!!!

What the hell are you talking about you lunatic? It's never been done this way, it has always been done using hunters. Like I said this is hardly a new issue. And we do get to elect the governments and they tell the bureaucrats what to do. I think you're thinking of this island The provincial governments have never done this. They might do it with a wolf call but that is a completely different animal. This would have been easy
