In Chauvet, Lascaux and Niaux, France there is a complex of caves, but not just regular caves. They have things on their walls that defy the human...
Yeah, I'm tempted but because it's a $80 difference, I guess I'll live with it, but it's a cautionary tale about Amazon. It is. That's why I'm...
Yeah it was a Breville countertop oven. The rep said that if I returned it, as per Amazon return policy - they deduct the cost of shipping back to...
They used to have a "quiet" policy of refunding the difference between what you paid and a lower price within 7 days. This was for items you...
Fox News and revisionist history much? So some grade school reprobates don't like to look at the world with anything but beer-stained goggles....
You sound very bitter. Did you have a negative life? Or are you just interested in yelling and being a shouty-yeller with a lot of...
Well heck. Even Barry O. was invited to Seattle's Pride parade and didn't attend. But in a small country like Canada, it's easier to go and do...
Love how they "track" stories from a Toronto studio with a LCD screen behind whoever it is that's doing their usual "tracking" of stories (usually...
Ahhh the CBC. Dealt with them in my career. Self righteous. Some sort of journalistic standard if I was to believe them. Took over a Beng Box even...
Carbon taxes are kinda on the policy front rather than on the operational front. Curious though, were there no other wildfire firefighters...
Re the S.A. firefighters and the pay issues. It's basically an inexperience factor. You've got a brand new rookie government that wasn't actually...
Yeah, I agree. Not a Westjet fan but they do have their loyal customers apparently. Recent issues with their personnel though have thrown some...
I have actually seen numerous, outrageous and egregious mistakes by the now dying Postmedia empire. That's Canada's national daily for...
I agree with you about pro-labour. Given the dispute and the stresses of being in a lockout/strike (the newspaper recruited kids from the local...
Lol. Actually the first post was designed to be ironical, not ironic, as you say. There's an old rule about saying: that's comical, or that's...
Go and read the first post at the top of this thread. It's not that hard to figure out that social media/news reporting and people's perceptions...
Oh boy ware to began. As a farmer news copy writer.... I can say that the decline in quality began when the news media industry essentially got...
This is a very informative site about how firefighting resources have to be distributed and the logistics... and the $$$. You have to scroll down...

Yeah I flew in a forestry helo in the bush as a videographer and took pics of that when the beetle issue was going on, and I've still got video of...
Those firefighters are doing absolutely the best that they can. You can't imagine how hot it must be to do that with full firefighting gear. I...
The reasons for not wanting additional aircraft are not about politics per se but more about the airspace in the area. You already have helos,...
Well, thanks to this thread and its posters, Geo Mike :) Too many people who already have heavy duty qualifications and can drive large...
It basically sounds like you're buying access to an interview. That's about it. There is no way I would spend $10K because it sounds like a casino...
Pedestrians do not have the absolute right to jump into a crosswalk without looking. The responsibility is on both driver and pedestrian. Signal...
No offense taken at all and none directed back you. I have had somewhat similar experiences. Young guy discriminated against most of his life now...
Mostly this is accurate. But my former co-worker from Grande Prairie was a white female, blonde hair blue eyes. So it's not just minority females....
The problem with the oilsands is that there is no long term outlook about what oil will do but the heady days of the last decade are done. If you...
Just emailed with a former co-worker who did the Keyano thing about 5 years ago (yep she's a 20-something blonde). All paid for by the government....
