  1. ..................defense contracts translates to regional contracts with by extension creates jobs and generates political support. Always amusing listening to armchair quarterbacks discussing the pro/con of something like combat a/c - hilarious! The real experts have given their opinion.
  2. ...........B.C.'s economy is stagnating, but unlikely DST has much to do with it. Anything that can be done to expedite commerce with ur largest trading partner should be examined - this momentous decision is pure politics. There is still controversy as to the reason Kanada went to the metric system.
  3. DST was implemented in 1916 (GB) as an energy (coal) conservation measure. Agriculture took advantage of more daylight hours to work the fields. Today, the benefits of DST are difficult to quantify ............ it IS an anachronism to many. When a government is looking at a debt of 160 billion with interest costs amounting to 5 billion, arguably it needs a red herring. This debt is attributed to increased government spending and is expected to rise in coming years. Some projections indicate Provincial debt could reach over 200 billion by 2028. .......... but let's focus on DST?? Typical hack move.
  4. haha ........... and we both also realize u don't have a day job! But, please carry on with ur rhetoric - I enjoy it.
  5. Yeah, guess we have something in common.
  6. ...........Trump likely regrets his boasts during the election campaign of 24, fk'n disaster politically. The person i enjoy tho is Bondi - twisting herself in knots denying, lying, exaggerating .......the ironic part is that she likely sees herself as a patriot - protecting the Nation - by doing same. Guaranteed book fodder - make her a fortune - course it could also put her behind bars or worse
  7. The presence of different states across different time zones can significantly impact commerce by affecting the timing of business operations, communication and coordination – business 101. In any event the jump to make Daylight Savings Time permanent is likely an attempt to sync with the U.S. who is in favor for economic reasons – legislation is pending.
  8. .............. go full Monty, 'Jim Crow'. .................. and repeal the Civil Rights act as a 'side'.
  9. .............. one thing for certain - our lives aren't long enough to have an opportunity to hear the truth. 100 years from now ............... maybe, but I doubt it.
  10. Indeed - however in politics perception is reality - the public perception, overwhelmingly, is that Trump was complicit in knowledge or act. You seem to consider that the heavily redacted files that were released exonerates Trump - hardly! There is really only one person alive today who could not exonerate, but indict Trump and a multitude of others, of being complicit in knowledge or act and that is Ghislaine Maxwell. The refrain to this is, 'who would believe her'. Give Ghislaine credit, she is a smart operator - I'm sure any accusation she made, she could support with facts in some fashion......... Epstein stock in trade was extortion........ to extort the guy needed evidence - likely a large part was gathered by Maxwell. Jeremy dealt in espionage, sex ............. the sex was a means to an end - information. Yeah, Biden / Harris - the why didn't they release the so-called files. One theory is that after perusing said, 'files' the Administration realized that they were just too 'hot' - exposing them to the public would indeed do extreme damage domestically / internationally and could compromise national security. The administration hoped the public interest would dissipate - and then along came Trump - tearing off the bandage and loudly proclaiming that if elected he would release all - he was re-elected and he was caught in a trap of his own making. The DOJ knows what is in the files - and Bondi made the same mistake - proclaiming to release all, until she perused the files and the realization struck her that releasing them unredacted would be an indictment of her boss. That is when the deceit began. Ghislaine needs to commit suicide ......... she wields tremendous power - the deal is pardon at the end of Trump's 2nd term - then she could expire in a traffic accident or some such.
  11. .......... Washington State uses DST. In 2024, B.C. exported approximately 30 billion in goods to the U.S. - service exports amounted to 16 billion. The trade relationship is crucial for B.C. economy.
  12. Oh, Canada! In terms of training, maintenance, weapons load, endurance, pilot familiarity and depth it just makes sense to have equipment that can be supported by your major Allie. ........... but the debate is not about best airframe ....... the debate is about best politics.
  13. ............. arguably for economic reasons it might make more sense to sync the entire Country ........Continent? Ham fisted decision - typical hack move.
  14. .......... generally a regime is defined as a government? Rumors are that Trump will be presented with the Israeli Presidential Medal of Honor. ..... The Order of Francisco de Miranda will follow ....... well deserved by any standard.
  15. China and Russia make for an interesting comparison China is a manufacturing, technological and exporting giant. Russia on the other hand has................................................... oil? China obtains (did) discounted oil from Russia ....... good deal for China With the global oil supply in flux Russia is likely looking at a windfall in exports .......... bad news for Ukraine? In terms of having possessing the ability (NBC) to destroy every living thing on the spaceship there are only 3 countries that come to mind - Russia, China, USA. China and the USA desire an economic stable world - good for business - Russia on the other hand has no business they are an agent of chaos. Defense organizations, defense treaties and global stability are anathema to them - it makes Russia appear small.
  16. ............. not necessarily a fan of Carney but this plays politically ....
  17. ............ this province is facing a health care crisis.............. Always good to see where the priorities are with hacks.
  18. ..................the regime didn't change, at all. Akin to Venezuela ........... but having a sock puppet in control makes the point moot.
  19. The regime didn't change ........... at all. The regime in Venezuela didn't change either ............. that said, a 'sock puppet' makes it moot point. ................ha ha ........... clown show.
