Military models Canadian response to hypothetical American invasion Armed Forces envision insurgency tactics like those used by Afghan mujahedeen, sources say. But officials and experts stress a U.S. operation is unlikely, and the scenarios are conceptual

What the literal f*ck? Can we get back to the real timeline now?

An Illinois Building Was a Bird Killer. A Simple Change Made a World of Difference.

Now that we know this works, building codes should make this mandatory (and well done Illinois for paying for this).

Why do you say this? Corruption in the linguistic sense just means dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery. And bribery is simply the act of persuading someone to act in one’s favor by a gift or money or other inducement. Where is the explicit quid pro quo?

Also, to state the obvious, people buying so many fewer fewer things because of tariffs negatively impacts the economy overall. The recession we’re already in becomes a depression.

Hi - tax lawyer here. This isn’t true. Under the Canada-US tax treaty as long as your permanent home is in Canada you won’t pay tax on the U.S. even after 6 months and if you have a permanent home in both there are a series of tie breaker rules.

Article 4.

‘Highly unlikely’ that U.S. will use military against Canada, Trump tells NBC The U.S. President, when asked if he would rule out military invasion of Canada to make good on his 51st-state threat, said ‘I think we’re not going to ever get to that point’

Would really like to see you try. What a complete waste of air.

They liberated the Netherlands during WWII. The Dutch have never forgotten Canadian soldiers helped liberate the Netherlands from Nazi occupation 80 years ago, and those sacrifices have never been forgotten by the people there. The National hears recollections from veterans ...

I used to think Canada would be all alone when the U.S. military threats begin. I don’t think that any more after seeing stories like this.

Canadians commenting where the colours line up is making me laugh. Social policy-wise they all line up to the left of the Democratic party. Economically the conservatives might be a little to the right of the Democrats but even that is up for debate.
