Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?
I don’t think that’s necessarily surprising nor undesirable, especially since you had to say “almost.”
I think I’m with you more or less. I don’t mind an intelligent, appointed Senate that takes their work seriously and isn’t explicitly partisan. I’d also like to see the regional representation improved, and the term limits should probably be way shorter.
This is already being walked back:
“Of course we’re funding roads,” Guilbeault said. “We have programs to fund roads, but we have said — and maybe I should have been more specific in the past — is that we don’t have funds for large projects like the Troisième lien that the CAQ has been trying to do for for many years.”
The article is a little unclear, but it’s very likely he was answering a question.
Yeah, I don’t think you’re going to convince me that state-sponsered euthanasia is an acceptable alternative to a broken health care system.
To me, this is the crux of it:
Dr. Jitender Sareen is part of a group of eight university psychiatry chairs who wrote to federal ministers and urged the committee not to expand MAID to include mental illness.
Sareen said practice standards to guide psychiatrists and clinicians are inadequate, and Canada is lagging behind other countries in mental health and addictions funding.
“Offering death when the person has not had the opportunity to get better, with or without treatment, is, in our opinion, not acceptable,” said Sareen, a professor and head of the department of psychiatry at the University of Manitoba.
If mental health supports in this country were anything close to adequate, it would be a different conversation.
The issue seems to be fairly non-partisan.
It’s an RCAF Challenger jet.
I’m afraid I’m going to have to report this latest comment to the Ministry of Climate Collapse and Also the Economy Even Though Climate Collapse Is the Only Thing That Should Be On Everyone’s Minds.
Good point - all things the CBC is solely responsible for.
However, I’m forced to award you 50 000 demerits for taking time away from fixing the climate and economy to write that comment. Do better.
Been a few years since you watched it, yeah?
It doesn’t have to be “per day” - it needs to be often enough that they’ll be deterred from getting an EV.
Look, I’m pro-EV, but I think it’s important to acknowledge that in a country as big as this one, there are going to be people with justified “range anxiety.”
Oh, they’re absolutely outliers.
But I’m one of them, so it’s in my mind. And there are still plenty of people in rural settings for whom it’ll be a concern.
“Range has improved,” said Mark Marmer, the owner and founder of energy consultant Signature Electric. “Now most cars and trucks have at least about a 300- to 350-kilometre range, which is a reasonably comfortable thing.”
When on a longer trip, a charge to give an extra 150 kilometres or so will take about 15 to 20 minutes, but that also depends on the speed of the charger, according to Marmer.
Unfortunately, that’s a pretty hard sell when your work day requires more mileage than that, and you want to get home asap.
I’ve got to say, the CBC seems to have a really strong news team in NS. I see a lot of good work coming from that bureau.
Hell, I support the carbon tax, but I couldn’t tell you how much I’ve paid, how much I’ve received (well okay, I could look that up), or what the overall environmental impact has been.
I’m sure it varies across jurisdictions, but I copied and pasted it from the MB website.
