About time.

He's talking about letting one off in the Pacific which has New Zealand in a tither.

I didn't watch it.  There were hints that he'll be talking about that. 

So we shouldn't admit to our country's mistakes?   Head in sand always works so well.  

Squid, pundits have opined that the venue was the wrong place to spend so much time on internal affairs. In 2016, Trudeau's message to the UN was "Canada is back and we're here to help." In 2017, he did not elaborate how we are to help internationally, including failing to deliver on a promise to contribute to a peacekeeping mission.

In effect, organized religion in Canada has found its saviours: immigrants.

Immigrants aren't voting Liberals for liberal reasons. 

They don't like the Conservative stance on immigration - that's the simple reason.  But they're bound to be more compatible with Conservative values!

Uh-oh.  Looks like most of them are gone.

A bit of research and I found out that most were removed by the Department of National Defence (DND) back in the 1970s because they were rusting and becoming eyesores. The Federal Government had no money to maintain them. These sirens had been installed back in the 50s as part of the cold war effort to be prepared for air raids. Those sirens would give about twenty minutes advanced warning for people to take shelter in case of an enemy attack.

Apparently there are a few left, some web sites show two in Toronto and a few in BC. DND admitted in an interview to the Toronto Star in 2007, that some may have been missed from the inventory. In fact, there was controversy as to who actually owned them. The Star called the City of Toronto, who referred them to the Province, who referred them to DND, who referred them back to the City of Toronto.

There was a time when the sirens made sense and the investment was justified. Times change however, and technology advances require us to constantly revisit the premise upon which we made a decision. In emergency management, much has changed as well. I started my emergency management career by having to pull out the emergency plan once a year, turn to the telephone list, and call everyone to make sure the phone numbers were still valid. Back then a blackberry was a fruit, a cell was a living organism, and a network was a social organization.

For the types of missiles they are talking about nowadays pretty sure a siren won't help much.

Having the time to get to a bunker, or your basement - 20 minutes can be ample time to seal off a room -  it's better than nothing. 

Huh.  I wonder if squid applies only to stupid bikers.  We saw a young man skateboarding, no helmet......holding an infant.

Admit it, Omni.   You're a whiny, fuddy duddy, sour puss!

Thanks for confirming my point. Forgive me for not cluttering up the post with funny faces.

Don't try to.  Believe me.  You wouldn't know how to use emoticons!   You'd be like a low-rate comedian with crappy punchlines!

"United Right Wing Nuts" on this board!  Booo-hooo-hooo

Why don't you skeedaddle to the United Left Wing Nuts on that board?

Or better yet.....create your own board! 

You seem to be doing a good job demonstrating just who the whiny baby is.

You can see the topic, but not the first post.

Why on earth and in hell would an American lovin' free speecher put anyone on ignore? 

Whom are you talking about?

Fentanyl is so potent, a dose the size of a grain or two of sand can be fatal. 

The latest incident took place at the Bowden Institution, located 120 km north of Calgary, on July 21, when a guard was searching a vehicle in the parking lot, according to a source.

Despite wearing a surgical-type mask and gloves, the guard was exposed to what's believed to be fentanyl. Co-workers administered Narcan after the officer lost consciousness.

Wow.  Never realized it's this bad!

The resemblance to the General is uncanny - I think a DNA test is required.

Speaking of talking head idiots. Trump blathers on about stopping all immigration from Muslim countries until "we can figure out what the hell is going on here", and then then goes to see the Saudi's, (you know those people who flew the planes on 9-11) and sells them billions worth of war weapons. Anyone who supports the latter is in all likelihood the former.

Afghanistan and Pakistan aren't on the list of countries banned from immigration. Go figure.

 Why Pakistan and Afghanistan not included?

Say what....

Thanks for the link.  I didn't see any call to "riot" but I do agree that their language is over the top and is unlikely to lead to peaceful protest.

Well?  Why didn't we cover the funeral for the American who was murdered by one of our own?

Hypocrisy.  That's the CBC for you - and all Canadians who feigned indignation over the death during the violent protest, and who showed this so-called solidarity with anti-fascist!

Yet, no one showed any indignation, nor had done a vigil for the American who was murdered by a Canadian terrorist!

Talk about feeble attempts to deflect from the issue!

If we consider people of all colors, to be a race.....of course, white people belongs in that category too!

If your argument were true, you'd think here would be an example of someone out there who is a white nationalist but not a white supremacist.

I just like to call out online bullys when I see them. Ditto for schoolyard bullys. 

Calling this on line bulling demeans and lessens the impact of actual bullying.   

Maybe if they had a union this wouldn't be happening to them. 

Perhaps, but the union sure wasn't any help when McCain foods pulled out of Edmonton.  Unions don't carry as much productive weight as a lot of people think.

http://globalnews.ca/news/3217421/agreement-reached-with-union-in-maple-leaf-plant-closure/

Not sure about Edmonton, but compare what's happening at Sears with the most recent McCains Foods closure...   it's night and day.

Union vs non-union. 

So saying a union doesn't help in these situations is factually wrong. 

Note:  The upper part is also included in the quoted news article.

Passed inspection though. 

Makes you wonder about the sanitation standard we now have, huh?

  Or if there's any corruption involved. 

Great dancercise!

I would object to the call to prayer on a loudspeaker, that is intrusive.

Wilber, it's not his behaviour that I found ironic and funny.  Read the orig message again.

Anyway, this President has been relentlessly, and unfairly  besieged by the media. 

The media has displayed blatant disrespect for their viewers.....not to mention trampling on the supposed journalists standard that the media is supposed to uphold.  Even Hollywood - the most epic of all public figures - had hopped in with their total disregard for lies and corruptions.  The lies about what started the massacre of Americans in Benghazi - blaming it on a video -  comes to mind.

So, don't speak to me about public figures and standards.

So many libs had thrown so-called standards a long time ago!    To bring that up now is......so pathetically hypocritical.

I just watched 13 Hours - that's why Benghazi is on my mind.

So you don't have any standards Betsy. Trump can go as low as he wants and you won't make a peep.

I love tacos al pastor!

HANK! THEY'RE PUTTING SALMON IN THE FISH TACOS!!!
