ABC ran on a platform of improving operational efficiency, but they seem to just step on a rake every time it comes to execution and make problems worse

The Ostriches are Dead and the Carney Government is Alive

Our long national nightmare is over www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

so yesterday I learned that an epidural involves a long flexible tube being inserted into the tube in your spine where your spinal code goes. So that's fun

Nice day on the river

Other Canadian budget observations: There are lots of cuts to strategic innovation and industry funds. Those ones were obviously ineffective There are lots of new strategic innovation and industry funds. These ones will definitely work

All the roads* Doesn't include all the logging roads and whatnot

how long is this washing machine going to keep playing this minuet exactly?

It will not make friends with me because the pedant in me is aware that the Chesapeake Campaign was very much not a Canadian military operation in so far as there was such a thing in 1814
