I'd just like to remind people that the city of toronto is a giant slumlord, we are forcing thousands of powerless, impoverished people to live in government housing with leaking roofs, hallways, plaster that is literally falling on peoples heads, cockroaches and bedbugs all of which could easily be repaired with the money we spend on submarine maintenance

The biggest question is what possible military need Canada saw for four decommissioned attack submarines. What military mission are Are Boys supposedly going to conduct that requires torpedo-shooting submarines in the first place? Then once we've answered that fundamental question we can move on to all the other insanely moronic things about them.

Helsing posted:The point of the last election is that the Conservatives are 1) a bit too suspicious of foreigners and 2) a bit too heavy handed to wholesale sell out the country. Fortunately the Liberals are here to trick low-info voters into thinking they've chosen a "progressive" government. The Liberals will sell policies that the Conservatives could never dream of getting away with: So, we have the TPP with it's extra-legal system allowing companies to sue countries for unlimited amounts in damages (but not vice versa) and we want to bring Chinese state owned enterprises into the mix. These are the same companies that have successfully argued in court that even basic business data that any western investor takes as a given are state secrets and cannot be divulged. That's a hell of a big club we're trying to hand them.

You idiots don't get it, since climate change is going to put a whole lot more water in the arctic (and everywhere else) of course we need more subs to defend all that extra water. It hurts to be called daft by some British person but this isn't hard. It's math. We need to keep a constant water to sub ratio. More water, more subs.

She's rejected the NDP's $30k entry fee and is running as an "unofficial candidate."

Honestly the 30k entry fee is a big flashing warning sign that the NDP has no plans on diverting itself from the path that Layton and Mulcair put it on (and don't for a second try to blame Mulcair for finishing what Layton started, if you don't like the modern NDP then blame Jack). Even in 2012 the entry fee was only $15,000 (in 2003 when Layton became leader it was $7,500). I can't see any possible justification for making it $30,000 except to keep out anyone who isn't already a well established MP with long term connections. If you were hoping the NDP would get some kind of outsider candidate or somebody really looking to shake things up then don't count on it. I've been advocating that people stay involved with the NDP for years but I honestly can't give two shits about this race. There's zero evidence at this point that the NDP is capable of being anything other than the garbage fire that it has been since the 2000s.

Brown was even co-opted as a puppet of the gay-activist lobby group calling itself LGBTory, to demand that the federal Conservative Party abandon its support of natural marriage between a man and a woman, a position he once defended.

Hexigrammus posted:Hmm. Looks like Peter Julian has an interesting resume. Didn't realize he had a pivotal role in the Transport Canada fight around substituting Safety Management Systems for actual aircraft safety enforcement. Gotta love SMSs. "Here's a wall full of paper that shows we're safe. No need for Labour Canada inspectors to check that we're actually doing any of this. You can go ahead and fire them all, or at least restrict them to their offices." Here's the thing; SMS works, and works well in aviation. First things first; SMS is not an idea unique to Canada - rather, it was mandated by ICAO a number of years ago because of the inherent conflict of interest between the regulator (Transport Canada) both making the rules and enforcing them, to say nothing of the fact that the regulator is almost universally tasked with helping to promote and advocate on behalf of their nation's aviation industry internationally. In order for our country to continue to be an upstanding citizen in the aviation world, we had no choice but to go down this road. Second, in terms of how SMS actually works, I would say for the operation I work for it has been a net benefit, even though the cost of running an SMS is a LOT higher than the old system was...for an airline the size of Westjet or Air Canada, it is easily into the millions of dollars per year. For the operations I have worked for, which have ranged in size from a couple of aircraft all the way up to a few dozen, in every case SMS has opened up a better, more proactive dialogue between management and the staff in regard to flight safety, and many issues, even contentious ones like duty days, pay and quality-of-life, have been discussed, if not improved. Having said that, there will always be good operators and bad ones - for some companies, SMS has done the square root of gently caress all to make them more accountable or more willing to address their issues...Buffalo Airways is a prime example of a company that fell into this category. From the perspective of Transport Canada, SMS helps them delineate between the good and the bad, and devote their resources appropriately to enforcement. Now for the caveat, and it's a big one, and one where we are failing ourselves. SMS only works if there is a robust regimen of oversight and enforcement by the regulator...by and large, Transport Canada usually does a good job of this, but they are critically short of resources and manpower, and considering the average age of their inspectors, it is only going to get worse in the next decade or so. As it is right now, there are only about 140 inspectors for the whole country, inspecting everyone from Dodi's bush pilot operation all the way to Air Canada, and they are being run off their feet. Every time I visit or call their office here, it seems to me that they are up to their eyeballs in poo poo and not making much progress beyond that.

It begins. I'm not sure that the comparisons to Bernie Sanders are necessarily helpful, but she's definitely giving voice to the complaints Helsing et al. have been making here. It'll be a shame to lose our NDP MPP in 2018, having lost our NDP MP last year. Peggy Nash's successor, Arif Virani is already agitating to reduce tenant rights and give more power to landlords in rapidly gentrifying Parkdale. infernal machines fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Jun 7, 2016 |
