They as much a part of her body as any breast implant is. Yes, it's a part of her body. If it's in your body, it's a part of your body (and let's hope everyone agrees, for the sake of the pro-choice argument!! ).

my understanding was they were prosthetics being worn outside the body. Didn't realize they were under the skin.

Oh wow. Well if that's the case then I missed a massive part of the story! Yeah, if they are just prosthetics hanging off her neck or whatever, then this seems like a MUCH simpler issue! 100% I would think it would just be a matter of her boss insisting she wear appropriate attire like darth said. If they are outside of her skin, then there is no difference between this and someone strapping a 3-foot dildo on and putting hammer pants on over it and teaching a class.

Everything I’ve read has indicated they’re prosthetics not implants (which makes no difference to me ultimately, but I can see where that might change one’s thinking).

Convenient that the PM’s out of the country (again?!?) on the day this deal is announced. I doubt he’ll face any questions about this down in Mexico, but it will be interesting to hear him justify his about-face on this given his comments (and platform) that stated repeatedly that the F35 would NOT be bought under his governance.

The National Post is reporting that the overall cost will be $70 billion, not the $19 billion the government is putting forward. It’s also disappointing that none of the several sources I read included a comparison with the projected costs under the Conservative deal that was scrapped.

It's a complete flip-flop. Pressure is going to shift to Singh to cut ties with the liberals and possibly force another election IMO.

Would he? The outcome is going to be the same. Conservatives can't win a majority because the picked someone a little too hard right for the majority of Canadians to vote for. They'll get a lot of votes in the prairies, northern BC, and some other rural areas. The rest of the seats get split up between Liberal and NDP.

Unless the conservatives get a leader that can attract more votes from the centre, the election results will continue to be the same.

I'll keep voting for the trainwreck green party, because I don't like the current versions of the Cons, Libs, or NDP.

I agree 100 percent. If Jagmeet thinks he can though.. he'll pull the plug on the Liberals in the hopes the votes swings away from liberals and towards NDP. He thinks one day he will be PM ... this is the only way he will do it.

To your point, if that happens... results will stay the same.

An Ontario resident here......
Politicians spending tax payers' money on ballooning police budgets and fighter jets once again proves they are not connected to greater society.

Homelessness is rising daily and social services have been crippled, but hey lets spend more money on policing and war machines! Depressing and illogical policies can be found in the news weekly, which is the opposite of good.

Stay safe everyone. A lil' more we than me

Yah that one is annoying. I think they need to rename the defund the police thing. It's not that we don't need police, but police are now being tasked to do jobs they shouldn't be doing. IE dealing with drug addicts, homeless, etc... If you brought those supports back with professional designed to help people with those problems, it should reduce pressure on the police, which might require lower budgets. Maybe someone needs to come up with a better name for it.

I don't feel it's the police's fault either. I've talked to a few retired cops, and when they compare what's going on today, to how things were when they were working, they're not sure they would of signed up for it.

Sad day in the local political landscape as a legend has passed. Agree or disagree with her, I don't know of anyone that didn't respect her, she'll be missed here in the GTA.

Ugh. I saw this on facebook, and you should have seen all the numbskull Qs and Trumpers who think that's legitimately a super smart idea that needs to be seriously considered.

according to wikipedia, it's because new yorkers needed to tell y'all where it's from:

Why do they call it Canadian bacon?

"Canadian bacon" or "Canadian-style bacon" is the term commonly used in the United States for a form of back bacon that is cured, smoked and fully cooked, trimmed into cylindrical medallions, and sliced thick. The name was created when this product was first imported from Toronto to New York City.
