When 45% of that $97 billion is spent on buying existing companies (M&A) rather than building new factories (Greenfield), it looks a lot more like wealth transfer than economic growth.

Well perhaps the rule of law is in the eye of the beholder. The rule of law isn't sending war goods to Israel, a country that is still committing genocide; The rule of law doesn't apply to countries that are actively perpetuating an ongoing genocide with their indigenous people;

Yes, exactly. When a windstorm causes a downed wire that then starts a fire, we still call it "human caused". This is the correct clarification, because the only other option is lightning. But unfortunately many people think it means there's a load of irresponsible people running about with matches.

@ms-sally.bsky.social 's post is something that everyone should repost and give some thought to.

Fire season is a good time to remember our farming roots. We all rely on farmed food. Most farmers I know of (I'm a teacher) have loads of fire fighting equipment, knowledge and expertise, because of course they do. Many are current or former volunteer firefighters.

My husband grew up in rural Manitoba. I love hearing his stories about his old farmhouse. Both of my parents were raised on farms as well. Both our fathers were born in Saskatchewan.

Oh, I know this even though I'm in the city. Most of the fires in Manitoba are natural from those types of events.

Also any working machinery in drought conditions can cause fire. It's why logging shuts down when it gets really hot.

Sure, but in logging the wait until it is high (Danger Class IV) or extreme (Danger Class V) until operators must implement "shutdown rules".

I've lived rural/remote for 20 yrs now. Fires start in storms, not just from lightning (I've seen a lone tree in flames after being struck, thankfully in winter). Trees fall on power lines in storms, usually causing power outages, but sometimes they just hang there, sparking.

Agree, we cannot defend against U.S., so why spend 5% of GDP on military? I'm for spending in the 2-3% for national security. Making deals with other nations that are willing to build in Canada is one of the best options - as well as our own development of forward thinking, dual use technology.

We are just making enemies. Nato is not an organization of good will. Nato is not offering peacet on the end of an olive branch. It is a lobby for the US defense industry & an arm of the US's war machine to defend its hegemony I understand that defense items need to be replaced.

And human caused has a lot of different possibilities - someone driving on the highway flicked a cigarette out the window, someone drove their ATV in the bush and the hot tailpipe sparked the dry grass, someone didn't properly put out a fire at their cabin...it's not arson or on purpose.

I wasn't micromanaged when it came to doing the work I was assigned - I had a lot of leeway for managing my desk and the work on it. But since my managers were also practicing lawyers, they were too busy to notice the personnel issues that were ongoing. Our office had the highest caseload in Canada.

Canadians, especially, Carney’s Cult. This is C-12 in action folks. This is only one bill of many that have been passed. The others don’t violate the rights of refugees, they violate yours.

Oh, we weren't in the same boat. Because none of them were entirely ostracised by the rest of the assistants. They were still invited to after work events, girls weekends, that kind of thing. I was always left out. Every single time. It was deliberate.

This was bang on.

My work all had court specific deadlines and they tried to keep me assigned to the lawyers who were working on the files I provided the support on but the other assistants started to comment about how I got away with not having to do A, B or C like the rest of them and then they piled on more.

At one point, I had a docket to prep every week - summary conviction, regulatory and project/sentencing - and then had my project work for three different lawyers that included scheduling and preparing materials for special sitting bails. I also then attended court to assist with multimedia.

In 2014, I almost died from blood clots. They only cared if I had enough leave to cover my time off and that I was still available via email if they needed to contact me - I was expected to check my emails daily when on sick leave. They treated me like dirt then wondered why I had mental issues.
