Although there is this opposing view from way back in 2016. https://www.thestar.com/autos/truck-side-guards-may-not-be-safer-for-cyclists/article_a02ce67d-fc87-5e51-98cb-3463be0a22f6.html They have been mandated in the UK since the 1980s. I would have thought the committee could have come up...

I was responding to a post about the Brampton-Caledon airport, which is privately owned.

Just looking from afar but there does seem to available surrounding land for expansion, even expropriation if it were to be in public hands. However, as you note, there is money in them thar hills and opposition would be well funded. I wonder which group of developers owns the surrounding lands.

Oshawa is fairly hemmed-in for any expansion, particularly if they have to install RESA zones. General aviation getting pushed out of dense population/high volume air traffic areas is probably pretty common worldwide.

So, are they saying the Senate should let them all go through so the US public can more clearly understand the chaos that will unfold?

Hmmm. Human density vs nutritional density. I'm not an agronomist, so am unable to advance a strong technical argument but, not to deny rampant NIMBYism, food security - however it is defined - is something every sovereign nation needs to consider. If you don't grow it, you buy it, and when...

It's other advantage - for now at least - is it's not hemmed-in like Buttonville was and Oshawa is. To expand beyond its current private ownership and mostly light general aviation status would require investment to attract corporate aircraft, regional cargo, etc. Facilities such as larger...

Premier Ford and his klingons entourage travelled all the way to Greenstone north of Thunder Bay to announce that they are leading the charge to open up the Ring of Fire . . . by officially opening seven culverts on an existing 70 km highway (oh, and funding for a new truckstop). More magic to...

A lot of the US population (and I think a decent chunk of ours) thinks science is either over-rated, part of the grand conspiracy and/or simply wrong because it conflicts with the bible. Private industry will only research fundamental science if there is something in it for them. If the US had...

They would think SpaceX can fill the void, and who needs a State Department; he's the bestest negotiator the world has even seen.

The public, especially aging Vets, won't like it, but his boss has been quoted as saying they are 'suckers and losers'. Depending on veteran voting patterns, this unintended consequence could bring it home to them.

Well, so far, two users thought it was. In future, shall I pass my posts through you for approval? Sheesh.

I defer; outside of my wheelhouse. Without seeing the factum, I suppose VIA is alleging that CN either doesn't have the authority to do what they did, or have done it in bad faith.

To be clear, the US doesn't have a 'national' drinking age; that is a State matter. But the federal government does use tax and financial levers through the Federal Uniform Drinking Age Act (1984) to keep the states in line. A state could have a lower age but they like the money. Similarly...

Certainly not in comparison. Although there are obviously no accurate figures, the government estimates range in the area of 350,000-500,000, compared to approximately 12 million in the US. I suspect most 'illegals' have either overstayed or are operating outside of their lawful entry.

In order for a monetary (fine) or other type of penalty to be imposed, there has to be a section of law or regulation that has been allegedly violated, due process followed and the penalty consistent with the legislation. The judicial or quasi-judicial system doesn't pick them out of the air...

Not necessarily. The involved parties are federally regulated under the Constitution. Railway operations are governed by the Railway Safety Act and the Federal Court has inherent initial jurisdiction in federally-regulated matters. Without seeing the filing, which helpfully usually outline...

I suspect the use of the term 'statement of claim' has confused the issue by ignoring that it has another legitimate legal use. Kill mosquitoes with a shotgun a lot do we?

Being "not in design stage" suggests that shovels in the ground is still a ways off. These negotiations have become extremely complex and also often see more that parcels of land on the table.
