Why would the great BC NDP government mislead you?

Because KM gave them inaccurate info?

When the spill was first announced, some seemed sure that it was sabotage by environmentalists. If there was evidence of that I imagine KM would have at least raised the possibility.

G7 summit: Trump's Trudeau jibe angers Canadians

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44435937

Smart political move by Trudeau, and the right thing to do in my opinion. Hopefully the rest of the worlds leaders will grow a spine and have our backs.

This is infuriating to me. That company should suffer serious legal consequences. And the whole fake card thing leading to real status cards being rejected - ugh, so frustrating!

Heredity or hoax?

Stephen Reid, bank robber and author, has died in Haida Gwaii.

http://www.timescolonist.com/news/local/obituary-stephen-reid-from-bank-robber-to-author-and-back-again-1.23335369

An interesting guy with a fascinating story. I am curious what others think of it, given the range of beliefs on crime and punishment and the legal system in Canada.

Trump supporters are obviously just lemmings. Whatever Big T says, that's what they think.... I'm sure it's quite relaxing to never have to form your own opinion.

Great news!!!!!! Fuck this shitty homophobic institution. Although I'm still pretty disappointed in the BC appeals court for reversing the decision in the first place. What the fuck is that about? I think the fact that it was discriminatory is beyond obvious. But good for the BC Law Society for not putting up with it.
Ironically, I've only known one person who went to Trinity Western, and he was one of the biggest scum bag male sluts I've ever met. He wasn't gay, but he was and still is a serial cheater. But of course Trinity Western is just fine with that, just as long as he only fucks women.

Canada to purchase 25 used Australian F-18 jets if U.S. gives approval

https://windsor.ctvnews.ca/windsor-doctor-accused-of-sexual-assault-to-learn-fate-next-month-1.3973955

Hope this deal work out better than the leaky British subs...

I see they added 7 more F-18's to the deal.  Good thinking ... you can never have enough planes for spare parts.

Canada Revenue Agency falling behind as uncollected taxes owed rise to $44 billion

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/tax-debt-liberal-budget-collections-1.4715967?ncid=fcbklnkcahpmg00000008

The governments of Canada take so much tax people can't even afford to pay their taxes.

I read it more as Canadians are living way beyond their means without any consideration of the future consequences ... I see it with my own eyes, all around me, everyday.
