My guess is US air bases in Washington were closer to Vancouver so Norad activated their combat aircraft. I think this shows how tightly integrated US and Canadian air defenses are. I think we better draw up some plans in case US becomes the enemy.

True, though it doesn’t base F18s for this kind of mission.

CFB Comox is the RCAF’s primary air defence installation on Canada’s Pacific coast and serves as the home base for maritime patrol / anti-submarine aircraft and search and rescue (SAR) aircraft, both fixed-wing and rotary-wing .

So I wonder why we don’t have an air base in BC.

Didn’t she cut funding for fire fighting in the months prior to this fire?

How has this impacted the type of development, and price of housing in BC so far?

Chinese don’t look at green energy in the same way West does. It is about energy SECURITY. They don’t have to IMPORT any gas or oil in order to produce it. The same goes with coal - they have it in abundance, and they will keep using it. It is the main source of their power grid.

lol you’re right. that’s probably the latter.

Yeah this is not good news for economy nor over-all international trade relations. So far US and Trump has been the only one using tariffs. Once we go this route other nations will employ the same tactics against us - what’s going to stop China from imposing tariffs on Canadian exports to China? We are already running a deficit with them.

And why is Carney using tariffs at a time when there are serious threats to international trade regime?

Orange baby having a tantrum! Wahhh!!!

The school board’s trustee "agreed that Yao did not break any rules. She cited the OCDSB’s own guidelines, which say “slogans or symbols that signal solidarity, such as ‘Free Palestine’ etc. are permitted so long as they don’t violate the code of conduct.”.

And the board said that no students were suspended as a result of the speech.

So why is this principal’s panties getting all bunched up for? She called Yao and told her not to go to school even though Yao’s not suspended? Sounds like a personal intimidation by the principal to me.

Assuming a lot of them are immigrants as majority of residents of Toronto are foreign born, this isn’t surprising IMO. Most of them come from societies with conservative values or religious values. Credit to them, conservatives have been good at appealing to different visible minority ethnic bases, be it sex education, drugs, taxes, abortion issues etc etc. Liberals and NDP have taken the immigrants for granted assuming their welcoming diversity will market itself.

Stop writing blank checks to the US.

nice

I hope we will develop our own defense capabilities instead of feeding the profits of American war machinery.

It would be nice if they had ability to collapse comments.

Pics and memes look better on pied. Oh boy how many accounts am I going to have now?

This is just the beginning.

Mods: again the site is saying this post is cross-posted to same “sub” (whats’ the term in lemmy?). When I look I only see one post.

HBC is a dinosaur, and it went the way of dinosaurs. The brand name still has value, and someone may resurrect it, in some form. Who still remembers Simpsons the store before the show?

How did you get it back?
