which is 10 days salary for the average Ugandan and more than a months pay for the person who is making charcoal. I agree totally will your premise of switching to solar ovens etc. for places like Uganda but the dollars just aren't there. They don't even have sufficient netting to prevent malaria

it is intriguing that you responded to one of my posts with a " you don't have to be so nasty" type remark yet your tone throughout is extremely condescending. How do you expect to convince others of your theories and evidence if they simply put you on ignore? Just asking.

because they don't have 450 dollars to spend on a solar oven maybe? The wood for charcoal is free for the gathering.

and considering that our leaders refused to do anything to facilitate shipments from here, we really cannot criticize.

true, but then isn't that where are thoughts are centred. It was indeed an Ontario situation although they seem to be making a comeback even here; hope so anyways

and then there was the Argus.

Well said.

and the feds will do it better? Where have you been for the last several decades? We are absolutely buried in federal regulations and yes provincial regulations too and don't forget municipal standards. I totally agree that we do not need all the provincial limitations on trades and goods...

As Charles Dickens put it: Humbug. There are very few, in fact I would say there are no jurisdictions with a single building code encompassing a land mass with the varied climate, topography moisture levels that Canada does. BC has to build for earthquakes, Ontario doesn't. For one size to...

too true and with less than admirable results. Transport Canada delegated ATC supervision to NavCan. There are now very few experts in Transport that can judge whether a change in policy is safe or not. As a result they lean on the advise of the organization that they are supposed to police...

Trade sanctions are subject to dispute whereas unfavourable terms are simply contract items. Sorry ytz but the results are the same: shuttered assembly lines. I would argue that it is not the Canadian people that are the driving force behind our reticence to invest but rather the Laurentian...

We could if we had some adults in Ottawa that were willing to do so.

for openers, the threat to us is primarily financial. Our allies will ignore our products to buy from those who are openly supportive. We become an inviting target for tariffs. Companies such as Boeing and Airbus, Ford and GM will pull out their investments and our factories will see military...

SO? Since WW2 we have been telling our children that trade jobs are for the stupid. University is the place to be to get a degree in whatever arts programme is the flavour of the day. So they have been spending a further 4 years in studies without acquiring any life skills. (with exceptions...

beautiful lot. Lots of space. Something we've lost

really easy actually. Instead of replying to the applicable statement by Lumbar in this case I simply clicked on reply to follow the string. Me bad.

so it is internationally acceptable to send troops into a contested area knowing that at least some of them will die. That is being brave. However using explosives in advance of your entry to prevent casualties on your side is being cowardly. I don't understand your reasoning.

Would this be the reason for the invasion: To bring their most effective drones into range for an assault on Lipetsk? With the damage being done nightly by those glide bombs, staging a major incursion such as this would be worthwhile. I suppose this means another delivery will be coming from...

spending your money twice then. 200 home subdivisions with all the bells and whistles including landscaping and sidewalks go up in every major city in less time than they are talking for the singles building. Their announcement is a joke, a very sick joke for those trying to move into the...
