  • they never blocked canadians from joining the idf which is generally prohibited by canadian own laws etc

    Hien? Not sure where this comes from.

    This Foreign Enlistment Act only applies if Canada is at war with a nation. https://lois-laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/F-28/FullText.html

    While no isrealis specifically, I know a handful of dual citizens that have either served their conscription requirements to meet citizenship requirements, or joined the Canadian forces to get their national conscription checked off in lieu.

    I also know one person who volunteered with the Ukrainian foreign legion. Their biggest hurdle was the days in Canada requirements surrounding healthcare access.

  • More than $20-million in vaccines, drugs lost from [Canadian] national emergency stockpile because of freezer issue - The Globe and Mail

    Jump

  • I'm also going to guess it wasn't $20 million in one freezer.

    $200 in spoilage for a pharmacy delivery is a pretty low percentage that's about 4-10 flu vaccines. There's somewhere around 10,000+ pharmacies in Canada. Sounds like acceptable spillage.

    Now, if its 20 failures at $1m each, then someone should be deep diving the fuck put of each failure.

  • Neurobiology professor hit and killed by a car that did not stop in an intersection. Driver charged with a misdemeanor.

  • Inaction is an action. Copy pasting another design without thought is an action. Not applying engeering judgement as an engineer is why civil engineers in Canada wear an iron ring to this day.

    If someone died at an intersection, then it is insufficiently engineered. If someone was seriously injured at an intersection, then it is insufficiently engineered.

    Collisions, no matter how frequent, should lead to no more than minor injuries.

  • Did the traffic engineer who created an intersection leading to death commit murder or manslaughter?

    What about further traffic engineers who reuse this exact intersection knowing it leads to death?

  • Bicycle trailers are underrated. You can never have too many.

  • Alternatively, ebike go brrrrr.

    It gets tiny and I up a monster grade on the way home from daycare.

  • I will admit Romans had good architecture

    Jump

  • The term would be Latin then.

    Roman is specific to the city/kingdom/Republic/empires. Latin is the tern for the culture they had/left behind.

    Striking and grappling arts should be kept separate.

    And they have the same voting rights.

  • An Alberta general strike raises many questions. Key among them are if — and when

  • In many cities, Costco stores fuel sprawl & car dependency. In Vancouver 🇨🇦 , Costco has residential towers above & a skytrain station next door.

  • I used to live ontop of a grocer.

    If I didnt know what to make for dinner, I'd start preheating the stove, then walk down to buy dinner.

    Still had to wait for the oven to finish preheating when I got back up.

  • Cyclists may be right to run stop signs and red lights. Here’s why

  • Who is it on if you completely follow the established rules of the road and get injured?

  • Mark Carney’s first budget projects $78B deficit, program and civil service cuts

    Jump

  • Generally speaking, reducing public servants increases consultancy requirements, not reduces.

    If you don't have someone with the capabilites/skills/corporate knowledge/experince/capacity to do X thing on the payroll, then you need to hire a consultant to do it.

    Now obviously I couldn't tell you what ministry/department/etc needs, but let's take the Alto contract as an isolated example.

    We don't have any rail expertise in government at all, so we need to consult it in, and we pay a premium for that. In the lens of a single rail project, that makes a a lot of sense, we aren't paying payroll and maintaining expertise for a once in a generation project.

    The alternative is having something like a national rail crown corp or department, like SNCF in France. Now all the experience is at the national level whenever you need it. SNCF has a lot more staff, planning, and engineering capacity than it requires; so that gets farmed out to regions and municipalities to help them with their rail/metro/tram projects. This is instead of each of them needing consultants, driving up the costs for municipal governments/capital projects.

    In this manner increased federal spending becomes an accelerant for other levels of government and reduces regional and municipal spending, and thus the overall tax burden for everyone.

    So if we had something like SNCF then the Alto project might cost a little more, but the Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Ottawa, Toronto, and Montréal recent/ongoing lines would be cheaper; plus medium cities like Victoria, Winnipeg, Québec City, and Halifax would have rail projects in their reach; and smaller cities like Red Deer, Regina, Thunder Bay, Kingston, Trois Rivières, and Fredericton would have tram projects in their reach.

  • That's how all politics works. You can't make everyone happy, so you just try to make every less unhappy.

  • Pulling the product sent a message.

    The message might not have worked the way Ontarians wanted, but it was definitely a strong message.

  • What We Lost When Cars Won

    Jump

  • That's true for trucks and taxis. Not so much for personal transportation.

  • Why All Vaccines Should Be Free

    Jump

  • I'm having a hard time taking you as an honest person.

    I appreciate the attempt.

    At one point, the CDC designated corrective lenses as a comorbidity because they were so desperate to make people think it only impacts disabled people

    So this is the source of my misinformation. I've been told, and had no reason until now, to believe that certain vulnerable groups have worse outcomes, and therefore need extra protection. It makes sense to me to give these people extra protection (which a targetted vaccine scheme seems to do).

    Nobody cares about what is equitable "to you,"

    Individual me, no; multiple, yes. The pol in politics stands for people, public health is a political system. If public health Québec isn't doing enough on COVID, than the people must demand action.

    The funding was obviously hyperbolic, but PH does have to work in a resource constrained environment.

    people are too morally flawed to stay home and because of the original sin we can't mitigate death from COVID

    Never said that. We can't stay home because "the economy"

    you've shown that you are an apathetic and dangerous person who feels no responsibility for what they say.

    Im sorry you think that. I like to believe I think mostly rationally with the information presented to me. That doesn't mean i have the best information, or right circumstances, to make an optimal choice.
