I sent in a donation immediately to The Tyee, because of the power and importance of this article. I’m considering a recurring donation as well.
All too often, we think “what can I do?”. Well, supporting this kind of courageous journalism is a start.
We are in the process of severing a half acre lot, and had to pay about $8,000 for an archaeological survey. It also delayed the process by almost a full year (and we have been waiting 5 months – and counting – of that for the ministry to accept the archaeologist’s report).
That was about $3,000 for the archaeologist to do a literature survey of land use for our area, then $5,000 to dig some small holes.
If he had found any remains or artifacts, I’m sure that the cost would have ballooned to something like the original story. There is no way we could have done the severance then.
And all three of the above: sounds like a perfectly reasonable target for deportation (minus the long detention, poor conditions, and cruelty). The problem is that we don’t want him back!
Formal training in health and science would be good, but even more important is to listen to the experts who are world leaders in those things.
This is a load of crap, putting today’s unaffordability issues at the feet of the workers. The real problem is that all profit from improved productivity is going up to the top.
If our productivity did match the G7 average, do you actually think that it would have gone to higher wages and better conditions for workers? Of course not.
There’s also the issue that around once a year the two planets will be on opposite sides of the sun. Not only would you have a lag of close to 3 hours, but communication would be completely impossible for a month or so at a time.
Not only that, but saying that they delivered a joke but never even saying what the joke was about makes this a complete waste of time.
Yes, but the two-and-a-half hour lag each way would be a killer.
You could check out FolderFort. Sometimes they have lifetime pricing. I paid something like $170 for 3TB lifetime.
They have SFTP access in beta.
Not to mention that the current royal family was originally named Saxe-Coburg, changing it to a more palatable “Windsor” during the first World war (which was fought against subjects of the German Kaiser, who was a cousin of the British king).
I heard a very interesting argument that if the Royal family can remove Andrew from the line of succession, then the line itself can be manipulated, and anyone else could be added. In that case, what is the point of having a royal family?
I don’t understand what you’re saying. Hydro Quebec pays royalties of $2-3 billion per year to the Government of Quebec.
Or do you mean that the government of Quebec subsidizes electricity consumers?
People are bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.
I’ve been a developer for 25 years, and I enjoy reading the Dolphin blog. It reminds me that there are people out there who are incredibly dedicated, brilliant, and happy to solve technical problems just for the joy of it.
The length they go to to recreate even hardware bugs fills me with awe.
Even though the blog is filled with highly technical discussion, it is written clearly and excessively. I absolutely recommend it.
It turns out that the Navy is going to donate some of their budget to building massive detention centers.

I guess one positive thing is that I have never heard of sap delivering anything on time or on budget, so there is probably plenty of time for a decent competitor to grab market share
If we can get rid of the Indian gangs, then we are just left with the Chinese triads and tongs, the Vietnamese gangss, the Sri Lankan gangs, the Russian gangs, the Italian mafia, and let’s not forget the homegrown biker gangs.
In Western quebec, along the Ottawa River, we have a citizens group that is working hard to get the word out about radon testing. Our local government has tested all of the schools, and is putting radon detectors into libraries so people can borrow them and test their houses.
Some municipalities in Quebec are requiring that radon remediation be done on any new house that is built, because it’s significantly cheaper than retrofitting it.
Even so, the retrofitting is only a few thousand dollars, and I believe that the Canadian Cancer society will pay for half of that.
I would be more inclined to believe that Trump has, with the help of Israeli and Russian security services, amassed comprising material on all, or almost all, national-level politicians, judges, and bureaucrats.
I don’t know. I think the Constitution only matters if Trump and mega don’t control all three branches of the government.
After all, weren’t the search and seizure is everywhere. Disregarding habeas corpus. Disobeying court orders to release detainees. Bullying allies and doing his best to undermine NATO.
Now he wants the federal government to have control over National elections, and it seems pretty clear that if the Republicans look like they’re going to lose control of the house or senate, elections will be suspended completely.
Every time Trump crosses a red line, people, Democrats especially, just draw a new red line.
