This is what they are embarking on: https://financialpost.com/fp-finance/banking/canada-post-chequing-savings-koho It obviously wouldn't involve carriers but be linked to counter/teller services. I don't know all the pros and cons, just as an observer of the gaps left by the big banks closing...

Or for work. My step-mother and her two sisters were from near London area and immigrated as war brides. She came to Toronto, one went to PEC and the third to Manitoulin Island. That must have been a bit of a cultural shock!

And they are losing ground because of 5 day/week service vs what the couriers are offering. In very small markets, banks have been closing branches for years. It seems the PO is finally dipping their toes into some financial services as was recommended a number of times, but very small markets...

And a lot of them do. I've been hearing a lot on another forum that property insurance in a lot of places, including Florida, is into the five figures with a lot of restrictions - if you can even get it.

It's been a while since I looked by a lot of the adjacent land, at least in Innisfil, is zoned industrial/commercial. The Sadlon family owns, or at least owned, a fair bit of land on the west side, I think in Innisfil.

A lot of jurisdictions, particularly in the US, take a very laisse-faire attitude towards things like land use and zoning. I recall a hurricane that hit one of the Texas cities a few years ago and a lot of the homes were in a known flood zone but the city had virtually no zoning restrictions...

Yarmouth: It was the terminus of the Dominion Atlantic Railway and their ran their own steamships to US ports. Medicine Hat: Seeing as they used the names 'Kootenay' and 'Kettle Valley', I assume this was via the old Kettle Valley RR (CP) southern route through the Crowsnest Pass which - I...

Well, there's a field that will never grow food again.

^ The curse of trying to playing within the rules. Asylum seekers can't legally work until their claim is adjudicated, and most certainly don't want to jeopardize their claim by breaking a rule, so they sit awaiting their fate.

And those same people would include Coors and Budweiser in that category.

One problem with debating government spending and acquisition costs is their penchant for rolling in 'lifetime costs' into programs and public announcements. 'Holy heck - our new destroyers are five times anybody else's'. Sure, but they have included a projection of every widget for the next...

Agree. If we did that, I would promote a 'white fleet -black fleet' division like the USCG has. There's still a need for research, waterway maintenance, etc. plus a constabulary role (they could inherit al of the AOPS). Sticking a gun on a boat and calling it military or paramilitary ignores...

I have no problem licencing designs of others (although saying the AOPS is 'based on' a Norwegian design is closing in on a 'grandpa's axe' analogy), but if the German factory for Leopard tanks is now a hole in the ground, how do we sustain combat losses in a conflict that got so bad that it...

In my opinion, bans are more effective at the import or manufacturing level. Once something is physically available, restricting its use becomes exponentially harder. As for police seizing conveyances Toronto doesn't like, if they are otherwise considered legal by the province, I'm not sure...

It was an attempt at a play on words. Take a breath.

Even the railways themselves have curtailed or eliminated their own heritage runnings, such as CPKC's Royal Canadian Pacific and their 2818 trainset. It appears they stay pretty close to home out west. It seems the ONR is a fairly regular host to the North American Railcar Operators...

Just in terms of defence spending and procurement, I'm not so sure that is such a bad thing. Rather than us attempt to ramp up a broader defence industry, they no only already have it, it has proven itself to be sustainable. In addition to simply being further away, buying offshore kit runs a...

I'm not sure it's advisable to use "feds" and "reign" in the same sentence. We have enough problems with accountability as it is. ;)

This isn't my preferred forum for these discussions, but to jump on: - The government has shown that it can't spend the money it already allocates. Until they house-clean the procurement process, it could be $100Bn - it wouldn't matter. - Icebreakers aren't a military matter. Whether it could...

I think we often discount or diminish the impact of faith in US society and politics. Call it evangelical, southern Baptist, political Christianity, or whatever you wish, but the right side of the spectrum has a lot closer ties to faith than up here. Views on abortion, beyond being just a...
