I suspect it has to do with being a sort of household appliance. Similar to the fridge, the TV, the bathtub, etc. People think about it in that sense most frequently and it becomes the common parlance.

Alongside banners commemorating missing and murdered Indigenous women and the victims of Canada’s residential school system, Confederate flags flap gently in the wind.
Wow, I hate everything about that.
With a little research these culture vultures could have used an actual local “rebel” flag, this one:
But of course they appropriate a white supremacist flag from American history.
You are putting the responsibility for those murders entirely on Hamas rather than the government currently perpetrating them, thus justifying that government’s actions. You could have just as easily made your opening comment, “Man, if only Israel cared about international law.” Please stop insulting my intelligence.
You are literally justifying their actions. Justifying the murder of well over 30 thousand.

Emphasis on the sometimes. If you regularly put 80+ hours a week in even doing something you enjoy, eventually you will burn yourself out and there’s a good chance you won’t enjoy the thing anymore on the other side of that. Not for a long while, at any rate. Burnout is no joke.
As are most Americans.
18+ mosquitoes sucking my blood is pretty awful even without a phobia.
“We believe that the province’s commitment to fiscal discipline and stability has wavered in recent years as B.C. has materially increased its spending for both operations and capital investment to unparalleled levels, while economic growth is slowing,” S&P said in its analysis.
So, punishment for Keynesianism? Is this that foreign interference I’ve been hearing about?
Surely Moody’s would never utilize it’s credit ratings dishonestly.
No, this is from Friday. The bit mentioning the January brownouts was making a comparison to those of yesterday.
Business groups claim hard-fought $20 hourly wage victory will cause reduced hours, layoffs
David Card was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for showing that this isn’t true.

What was special about this research that won the guy the award?
According to Card:
the thing that has really influenced the field is the idea of looking for these pivotal events or things that have happened that could potentially inform our theorizing and understanding of the world.
That is to say, they actually looked at real world examples and compared (meaning they actually included evidence in their reasoning) rather than assuming it must be so based on neoclassical economic assumptions.
To illustrate, one previous president of the organization was none other than former Conservative MP and UCP leader Jason Kenney.
If they ignored warnings from even relatively friendly states then I find it difficult to see the whole thing as something other than sacrificing some of their own people so they could wring some propaganda out of the event to shore up support for their war. When it first happened and they tried to lay the blame on Ukraine I figured it was more a case of, “Never let a serious crisis go to waste,” but it really seems like they knew it was coming and allowed it to happen.
Considering the emergency they are fleeing from is not over, one wonders whether that deadline will be extended?
According to a news release, the SIU says the incident began at around 1:30 p.m. when police made a traffic stop in the area of Churchill Avenue and Avondale Avenue. A 25-year-old woman got out of the car and ran away, the SIU said. An officer followed.
“At some point, the officer discharged his firearm and the woman was struck. She was transported to hospital for treatment. The woman is in critical condition,” the SIU said.
Doesn’t sound like she presented a threat to anyone. I don’t think stopping a suspect from running away is a reasonable excuse to shoot them.
It makes perfect sense they would use that angle. The National Post exists to smuggle the American (specifically Republican) perspective into the Canadian political conversation.
I agree with a lot of what you’re saying here, but the author of the article doesn’t so much, I think. His thrust seems to be that we need to embrace urban sprawl, and in the course of doing that, rather than densifying urban residential areas, instead de-densify downtown cores and go all in on suburbs and exurbs.
Happy Canada Day to you as well.
