Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?


Not a big shock - there have been allegations surrounding the guy for years.


It was certainly the case when I was in school, and that was decades ago.


I think that’s pretty universal, and it’s been the case for decades.


It’s the perfect crime! The feds create a problem with a solution that’s under provincial jurisdiction…


Yeah, I lucked out in having nothing better to do at the time. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to catch all of the rest of the series, but I’m definitely going to keep an eye on it!


I don’t really follow baseball at all, and haven’t watched any of the playoffs to date. But I did watch this.


“As the labour movement in this province, our leaders have made a commitment to rise to that challenge, defend the teachers and their rights, defend worker rights more broadly, and to defend our democracy. We have no choice.”
[Gil McGowan, president of the Alberta Federation of Labour] stopped short of confirming whether that response would include a provincewide strike, but said, “it’s one of the things that’s actively under consideration."

Abuse of the NWS has been progressively normalized over the last few decades, and I think we’ve reached the breaking point.

But again, I’d welcome a genuine correction.


If you have additional information that contradicts it, I’d happy to see it. I don’t live in Quebec, and only know what I know.




Deadline is actually an American Hollywood/entertainment industry trade outlet, so it’s definitely not a Canadian thing.
Weird metaphor to have in your style guide, though.


For a team dealing with some significant injuries, the Jets have managed to string together an impressive opening record so far.


No, it says Canadian “beer” killed him. It’s an immediate signal that it wasn’t actually beer.


What’s misleading about it?
The product came from Canada.
The “beer” is in quotation marks, indicating that it wasn’t actually beer.
A 21-year-old was killed.
In New Zealand.
Agreed - it’s pretty unlikely that you’d be able to prove something like that.
I suppose you could try to apply precedents surrounding HIV disclosure, but I think it’d be a tough sell.
