Long time ago, I was a volunteer in Africa. The country where I was had experienced periodic droughts, and for a while I was able to get one bucket of water every two days, about 12 l. Cooking, drinking, washing, everything.
It was a very unpleasant and enlightening experience.
It makes more sense to refer to RFK Sr. Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in 1968.
Once again, it appears that a conservative has an epiphany when the harsh, Darwinian economic and social policies of his party affect him personally.
In case you didn’t read the article, his disillusionment with the Conservative party, after having been a lifelong member and a cabinet minister under Stephen Harper, appeared when he had a severely handicapped child.
“Whatabout…”
But how much do IP laws actually protect the little guy? When a large corporation can bankrupt me by prolonging litigation until I have nothing left, what leverage do I really have?
There are certainly cases where small creators and inventors were able to overcome this disadvantage, but I suspect that they are the tiny minority, celebrated when they do achieve it.
I did that just after 9:00 a.m. on the Monday after the election was announced. I had to deal with poll workers still being trained, so that took a little longer, but it certainly wasn’t busy!
I’d like to think that I was one of the first people in Canada to vote, but realistically, I’m sure there were people in the maritime say ahead of me.
I’m not sure there has been a president in anyone’s lifetime we didn’t commit multiple crimes against humanity. Roosevelt had the Japanese internment camps. Kennedy had the Bay of Pigs. Maybe Jimmy Carter was the only one.
The point is to remove any restrictions on business and industry, regardless of the harm it does to the people or the planet.
I was seeing a lot of crashes two or three years ago, but none in the past year or so.
I guess if you can’t rely on human intelligence, you have to hope that artificial intelligence can do the job.
I think you would be more convincing if you spelled “line of sight” correctly
It may not be your thing, or your kids’ thing, but the Imperial War Museum is really well done. Probably it could wait until they are a bit older.
When someone I know moved back to Canada as a GP, he said that his income actually went up slightly.
His clinic in Indiana required to people for each doctor, working on nothing but billing and insurance. His clinic in Canada had one billing person for five doctors.
There are several ways that our health system benefits doctors’ take home pay, aside from billing. Malpractice insurance is another.
At the start of the second world war, Germany was much less mechanized than other countries. I think the US had one car for every five people, the UK one car for every 10 people, France won car for every 15 people, and Germany one car for every 30 people. Something like that.
The Germans used more horses in World War II than they did in World War I.
The thing was, what they did have they used effectively, including using radios for communications, which none of the other countries were doing at the time.
They have also announced that if they have to reduce or stop production because of the current tariffs, they will continue to pay all of their employees.
All of their ice cream is also made in nut free factories, so that people with nut allergies can safely eat it. I’m not sure, but that may be the only ice cream that makes such a guarantee.
When I go into a Costco, I take a minute to look at the board showing the pictures names of long-time employees. At my local one, they have about 15 people who have been working there for over 30 years.
Met a woman who had been a Costco employee for 25 years. In addition to everything else, she got 6 weeks of paid holidays a year. How many other retail employers come anywhere close to that?
It’s incumbent upon every member of society to protect the weakest and most powerless, or else you are complicit in wielding the boot.
I’ve heard persuasive arguments that Chamberlain did the only thing possible for Britain at the time. Their defense industry was just spinning up and they needed more time to have any chance at facing Germany. The Spitfire had only just started production, for example.
Collins Bay Institution is also in Kingston, not all that far from the old Kingdom Pen. It is within a 5-10 minute walk of many houses and apartments.
