Unless the knives come out for him as leader, a newly elected MP in a nice, safe western riding will likely step down and trigger a by-election for PP to carpetbag his way in. It still isn’t official yet, but is still looking very much like a bunch of federal public servants in his riding didn’t trust him not to sack them.
Unless you replied to a Flintstone. Then he is correct.
McRib comimg back!
Dude might have been drunk. If it isn’t intentional, it’s usually a case of too drunk or too old.
Provinces actually cap what a doctor can charge the system. Family doctors basically have to run a business and bill the insurance plan of their province, and there are limits to how much they can charge per year. This keeps salaries lower than in the private sector, which can charge some provinces much more for the same services. It is a big part of the drive for doctors to go private. Many doctors are also expected to do walk-in clinic and ER hours, or to supervise new doctors in their province as well, but I don’t know if that applies to the private ones. I hear that the waning supply of public doctors makes it harder to train new doctors in their residency years. Canada has been aggressively growing its population through immigration for the last decade, but hasn’t addressed the doctor supply problem, so this is reaching a breaking point for the health care system. Ideally they would be attracting doctors and nurses to come to Canada as part of that immigration, which they try to do, but then they want them to take equivalencies which often amount to going through med school all over again. Without having the people to train them. And to have them pay for it while starting out in a new country with a high cost of living. So the system keeps salaries low and supply low, and they set up rules to trap doctors in their province so they can’t escape it.
It sounds like both doctors and dentists licenses in Canada are restricted at the provincial level. So they could move, but would have to recertify in another province. I know for some of the dental schools, you can graduate and go through the licensing process in any province, but for others, you can only practice dentistry in the province of the school you graduated from. That prevents out of province kids from going to Manitoba for one of a handful of placements and then immediately going back after graduating. Medical is probably similar. It sounds like there are a lot of high barriers in place to keep their investments secure, but those also prevent us from recognizing the qualifications of immigrants. Sadly, I hear a lot of complaints about that from taxi drivers.
Article: They didn’t add any lanes in Toronto, just to outlying areas where they claim traffic was improved. Toronto traffic still miserable after nothing was done there.
Seriously, if this is costing us 11 billion a day in economic damage, get more people working from home. The solution is so blindingly obvious. It saves money and can be done overnight. Fuck, we are a stupid bunch of apes.
This is just an injunction to prevent them from removing the lanes before the Charter challenge is heard. No decision has been made yet, so no need for them to change their tack.
Keith Laumer, Gordon R. Dickson and Jack McDevitt are probably the ones I re-read the most.
Crom laughs at your Cloister. He laughs from his mountain.
Makes sense if you run it once per year and use the results to determine the admissions list. This assumes your goal is to maximize the number of doctors trained each year given a limited number of slots available. If you can take it whenever you want and it is just another hurdle to get into med school, then I’m not sure what value your score relative to your cohort is. Maybe it assumes all classes should have equally capable applicants, and since the content of a test would necessarily change to prevent cheating, they can’t guarantee that all tests will be of equal difficulty. So to even that out, they just take the top performers from each cohort.
They’re replacing it with a modern one built right next door. No reason given as to why.
Hey now! I believe the preferred term is reality challenged.
I had an obscure one at 99% for weeks before I realised why it would never finish. The torrent had a text file with the name “Dowloaded from torrentsite” that nobody had been downloading, so it wasn’t available. The main file was 100% though.
Describes Sakamoto Days pretty damned well too.
No, the number is correct. Trump added 34% tariffs to Chinese imports, and China retaliated by the same amount. So yeah, if these stickers are made in China, the US is going to pay a 34% tariff on their import lol
I too had a barely year old AMD CPU go pop in an ASRock motherboard about 15 years ago. Bought the same CPU again and stuck it in an ASUS board and it is still running today. I know they have a better reputation these days, but this is the kind of thing that just shouldn’t happen.
If they want to keep him, someone who won a safe, rural western riding will suddenly step down, forcing a by-election. That’s the usual path back into parliament that we’ve seen in past elections. If that doesn’t happen immediately, it will be telling for his leadership prospects.
