And in next year's news, "P.E.I. aerospace firm announces that they have been bought out by a major American defense contractor."

Quebec actually had a solid plan for post-separation during their referendum. They had their act together much better than the Alberta separatists. But back then, it was not an issue of America, Russia, or China interfering, it was outright flagrant and in-your-face interference by De Gaulle.

 

Wow. America being put in the same negative, unsavory context as Russia. Really demonstrates how soured the American reputation is in Canada - just a shade short of being declared 'number one enemy of Canadian democracy'.

'The auditor general said artificial intelligence had helped with editing and “supporting” her reports — but that they were “by no means written by AI.”'

So the report criticizing AI was in part processed by AI.

But I wonder what the medical qualifications of the auditor general are? It seems to me such a report should be written by someone who brings a strong medical perspective to the issues.

What was implied just after that was that he had absolutely no skills or experience in construction. Seems he is looking in the wrong place. Best bet for him is probably Community College skills upgrading.

A degree does NOT necessarily qualify you. A BA in Psychology is not marketable, for instance.

You go to Community College to get a job, you go to University to get an education, There is a VERY big difference between the two.

"For a couple of years, Mahmoudian worked as a home energy advisor — a self-contractor who says he used to put in 70-hour weeks. However, most of the government incentives that sustained that work, including the Canada Greener Homes Loan program, have ended, and business has dried up"

That paragraph says an awful lot, if you read what is NOT said. Reads like he made his money in the past by sweet talking people into applying for government handouts. Government money dried up, and he has no skills to work at a 'real' job.

I really think they picked the wrong person to highlight in the article to make their point.

With an 800 volt battery that is some serious horsepower.

I can't even imagine the charger that would be needed.

Chins has a cargo ship that can load 11,000 cars. Just four trips with this ship would fill the yearly quota for Canada.

If you read the context, I was thinking more like a jumbo jet flying into the CN tower.

So is Trump. What exactly is the issue?

 

Drastically increasing flight activity of massive commercial jets right beside the CN Tower. What could possibly go wrong?

Ummm, you mean the country that tries to protect their youth from being morally corrupted yet allowing school massacres to run rampant? Almost one school shooting per day.

Porn corrupts, but guns kill.

Enforced individual rights will eventually always cede to enforced collective responsibility. Those who supply services will be forced to collectively ensure their responsibility to protect the rights of the individual.

Now let us find out if indeed they can and will enforce it.

 

The Canadian company gets paid in the local country's currency for the power from the solar farm, so the company has invested in a Chili pepper plantation beside the solar farm, and sells the chili peppers on the international market for a return on their investment in dollars. There is farming, and then there is farming.

 

Michael Ma was born in Hong Kong and immigrated to Canada when he was 12. He was raised and educated in Vancouver

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Ma

I can find no reference to his age, or to the year in which he immigrated to Canada. Hong Kong was transferred to China on July 1, 1997, 29 years ago, so I could not determine if he immigrated to Canada when Hong Kong was British, or part of China. But unless he is younger than 41, it was before Hong Kong was transferred back to China, and he would probably have been, rough;y interpreted, a British Subject in Limbo, (A British passport to the rest of the world but not really a British passport in Britain). This certainly goes towards addressing any issue of bias, and if he could hold a Chinese passport by birth.

This certainly does put an interesting twist on the Canada-China dialogue. It is really difficult to sort through fact-from-fiction, depending on where you were indoctrinated with your Chinese history knowledge.
