I vote "racialized" my number one term of the last couple years that I won't be sad to see gone once it inevitably turns into an unspeakable derogatory slur itself.

Birthright citizenship is definitely a good thing but there probably should be some way to prevent the system from being gamed.

I keep trying to explain to my bank that if I ever run short on cash I will just marry a wealthy foreigner in need of Canadian citizenship, but for some weird reason this isn't helping me secure a loan. This country is really backwards when it comes to leveraging citizenship equity and I'm sick of it.

:canada: NSS weekend circular :canada:

So, Quebec is making political noise about wanting to build another supply ship for the RCN, which previously had two. As the Asterix, ordered as a stopgap by the conservatives, is a real outlier in Canada's Naval Shipbuilding adventures (being on time and on budget) the fed really really does not want to do this

Today in Parliament, the conservative leader Reinhard Scheer accused the liberals of playing politics :nallears: to which the liberals responded "no, you"

Of course, the Asterix is leased, the Harper government saw them as a stopgap till the NSS could churn out real replacements. So doing the same deal with Davie again is no problem. The issue here (and why the Liberals are acting like suggestions another be made are an angry swarm of bees attacking their head) is Irving and Seaspan don't want it. Of course, bear in mind the leasing thing - while Canada **could** say "huh I guess off the shelf really is good enough for supply ships" the government is really unlikely to do so, since that would cast doubt on if the NSS was best value etc. The fear here is that Davie could wedge its foot in the NSS door, and maybe, I dunno, compete with the other two shipyards for contracts if there were "areas" where work had to be faster or programs had fallen too far behind

The awful specter of "competition" and "other ways to do things aside from the NSS" is a fear the shipyards and the government share

Oh and the Vice Admiral Norman trial, the prosecution realized its case of "doing the bad thing" was too weak, so they've shifted to saying "Norman did inaprop things" citing a case of an officer in JTF2 (Canada's anti-terror fast reaction force) who used government trucks on his farm and got JTF personnel to work on his farm

Also international treaties we're part of (mainly NATO and NORAD) not to mention basic bitch sovereignty means we need certain military capacities. These include being able to control ocean approaches and defending our own airspace. Since WW2 Canada has traditionally favored the navy over the army and the air force in spending, since we have a gigantic amount of coastline. This is also why the NSS has rolled forward despite its issues; if you're gonna have a navy, having the industrial capital and know-how to make and repair modern navy ships makes sense, as navies are a really long term thing

dont forget that when they did the math to justify building the pipeline, they assumed that drastically increasing the supply of dilbit to east asia would result in the price for dilbit in east asia going up up up

huh?

they've been crying over the inability to turn greenfield lands into endless 30" towns and semis for the last decade fifteen years. bill 66 didn't spring fully formed from the forehead of our idiot in chief, both developers and OREA (headed by the former PCPO leader) have been spending boatloads of cash lobbying for exactly this. there's been a concerted campaign to convince people that housing is unaffordable in the gta because they haven't been able to pave over every last acre between lake simcoe and niagara
