toronto mayors can issue orders like american mayors? something must have changed since i got my degree. She can do more, but so could have every mayor for 25 years. She needs council support, you're leaning on the converted, not on the recalcitrant councillors blocking improvements. cheers

The court has already ruled that the land alberta sits on is part of canada by treaty with the local first nations. Alberta can vote, but the land stays in Canada by treaty and by law. Quebec has a unique history, and may have a case to leave Canada with their territory excluding rupert's land.

you got a source to suggest that democrats will reverse 80 years of policy and not want tariffs on Canada? Democrats are the protectionist party. There is no relief coming for #Canada.

way too harsh. Michigan is a very pro canada state. did you know thunder bay's murder rate is over 6 per 100,000? winning isn't related to schadenfreude, winning is shared amongst friends and neighbours. If my friends lose, i lose too.

nice. well worth it to take a cruise on lake of the woods if you haven't been out there. at one time the blackhawks had 5 active players who grew up within 150kms of the lake at the middle of north america.

...was lucky to be in boy scouts in port hope in the 70's/80's. our leaders arranged canoe trips to the old buckhorn reserve regularly. looking back now, those leaders really rocked.

that'll be independent MP soon. As a PEI member he represents 70,000 fewer constitiuents than my MP. Same pay, same staff numbers. so, just PEI, not a real MP unless all four of them side together.

that makes sense. The game was invented in the great lakes region, so grand tetons... Canadian newspapers carried baseball scores for decades before doubleday 'invented' the game.

after many years of opposing political parties in toronto, I must reverse myself. Voters need easier and clearer references on candidates and their positions. Political parties simplify voter choice. that could help participation rates.

hey @qprfc.bsky.social and #qpr types. Canada's own junior hoilett had his last cap tonight. I still remember him turning with the ball at wembley, and driving straight at the net. He was fouled. The penalty was a goal. and QPR went up. cheers all.

Congressional rather than executive democrats have traditionally been Canada's foe in trade talks. Protectionism is a democratic party thing in my experience. Either way, #canada needs new trade partners.

perhaps stevia, but unlikely it seems to me. likely honey or berries in season I would think, maybe wild leeks or onions.? @20th century taste buds might have needed sugar as an ingredient.

that's silly. the UN has better things to do with their scarce resources than protect privately owned assets, that should be protected by their owners. Those owners make billions of dollars.

sidewalks,water supply and sewers are way more expensive when the lot frontage of an area goes beyond 20' or so. We all want sidewalks, but we need to plan density to make them practical.

I do love Quebec, but if my Sikh brother in law has to give up his religion to teach there, i choose family. We'll not be visiting there. I do buy their produce over yankee stuff ofcourse. The same quebec attitude that created #Toronto as canada's leading city in the 1970/80's.

familiar with the subject. I worked campaigns in eastern ontario in 1988. only region of the country where Liberal vote went up. We invented strategic voting during the free trade election. I stand by my comment.
