Mitch has done more to ensure those mistakes are repeated than almost anyone else. Does he have no memory of his actions over the past 20 years?

why do Republicans care, since the US and Israel don't recognize the court's jurisdiction anyway?

I think both would likely be found guilty by any reasonable court. I don't think Gaza has one, but I think Netanyahu's legal troubles are going to get a lot worse in Israeli courts.

it's right wing bullshit.

The UK is never limited in the amount of £ it can issue to cover govt deficits. Read a textbook. Issuers of currency do not borrow i that currecy. Debt and deficits have economic impacts, but there is no hard limit.

The only reason for austerity is that rich twats want austerity so they can continue their insatiable greed.

Buddha has no need for mouse, keyboard, or cpu. Nor even power or data cables for his monitor. He's just looking at a black screen.

Canada's not as enthusiastic about that military spending because little of that money goes to Canadian companies. Even for things like shipbuilding, the rules are unfavorable to Canadian industry and a lot of the industrial benefits go to US companies. Canada tried to negotiate industrial benefits on the F-35 program, but it didn't go well, and Canada entirely withdrew for many years.

A GOP Senator is just a mouthpiece for US industry, they just want more Canadian spend, they don't GAF about actual defense of Canada.

seems like it will continue to be slow-rolled. The Conservatives will promise to do both the same, and the opposite.

Found this in a science community, neat to see that some wild ideas come out of the concrete blocks

smells like another attack on sugar substitutes from the sugar industry via the WHO.

Sugar in the quantities that the sugar industry would like to sell is extremely unhealthy.

it's pointless to throw a long term number out without considering what contributes to it. Canada's growth, population growth, economic growth, and other factors cause the public service to grow. In 2006 - 2015, it also had come through some periods of suppressed growth as the conservatives slashed services provided.

it looks like the full package spray at the automatic car wash...clean, wax, protect.

No thanks!

sounds good to me.

Conservatives will oppose it because they live in a fantasy world view fed to them by people working for oil companies.

The new speed camera has finally arrived after ~3 years. The mounting went up earlier this spring, and the camera gear and additional signage has been installed in recent days. It was quickly vandalized with paint, but I see the crew was out working on it today.

Some have suggested the name of "East Paris, Ontario".
