Results of a cross-border study from the non-profit Angus Reid Institute:
I would LOVE to have a conversation with the people that think authoritarianism is a good idea.
That is, if they are able to have an intelligent conversation. Somehow I doubt it.
My guess is that they are clueless about the world, or history, and can't see past their nose and think heck the Volkswagen came out of Hitler's Germany, so it isn't all bad
Or most likely, they don't know what authoritarianism is. Too many letters.
Along that vein; can someone explain what twisted logic would be behind Doug Ford resorting to the very extreme and controversial use of the 'Notwithstanding Clause' in the charter to prevent a strike while stating they had gone as far as they could at the table to meet CUPE's financial contract demands; to then mere days later turn around and sweeten that offer?
WT* is he smoking with playing at that stupid brinksmanship nonsense???

Amazing to note that situation is as old as sailing ships with no meaningful effort to address it. Back when I was stationed out there, it wasn't just grain, but all things that soaked up water that stopped the loading process into bulk carriers when it rained.
Coal was especially critical as those shipments brought instant revenue in a continuous stream year-round to Canada's economy, delays were costly.
One should have been able to predict decades ago that with increasing demand, this problem was only going to get much worse.
I got it in one! Nobody is going to 'stop the rain'.
They could long ago have invested in some method to cover the holds and still conveyor the stuff into them through weather-proof hatches designed for the purpose.
By early 2023, there will be near-complete coverage of the Arctic (outside of Greenland and Russia) by Elon Musk’s Starlink.
Quote:
Following the launch of additional 46 Starlink satellites into polar orbit late this summer the entire western Arctic, sans Greenland, will be covered by high-speed internet once all the satellites have reached their final orbits by early 2023. For rural communities, especially across Alaska and Canada, this new-found connectivity offers an opportunity to alleviate years of low-speed, high latency connection with limited data caps.
