Life expectancy at birth is so heavily influenced by infant and child mortality that it may not match the theme of the figure. Maybe link to life expectancy at an age where paying taxes/cpp?

Hello, from -46. But it’s a dry cold.

Are we still waiting?

A friend had an amazing vacation to Venezuela in the early 90s and I thought someday I would get to see it too. I planned a hiking trip to Ukraine in 2017 but chose Slovenia instead.

Timing is everything.

"The year was 2025
(How I wish I was in Ogden now)
A letter of marque came from the Prez
To the crappiest bass boat I'd ever seen...

God damn them all! I was told
We'd cruise the seas for migrant drugs
We'd fire no guns, miss no meals
Now I'm a broken man in SLC
The last of Mike Lee's privateers"

The method to Mark Carney’s madness The memorandum of understanding with Alberta might look like surrender. Look closer

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

Remember when people thought he wasn't good at politics? www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/27/o...

The Butchering Art.

About Joseph Lister and early days of surgery.

And “Shook” by Jennifer Hull.

Stress risotto seems like a bad idea, in retrospect

And more wacky Nfld facts - like half hour time zones, and 50 Hz power, and being leading scholars regarding the legal status of hot pursuit in international waters (run runners from St Pierre and Miquelon).

Newfoundland and Labrador is also the only commonwealth jurisdiction where the government sits to the left of the speaker. when they installed heat in the chambers the leaders didn’t want construction on their side so they had it installed on the left, but after installed they wanted to sit by it.

Oh, a nice Eggs Turkadict is definitely a treat.

Carney?

??? Evidence? Or is this just the inevitable outcome of other expressed ideals?

Carney should be very gracious and schedule it immediately and agree not to run a Liberal candidate.

(Then help the NDP defeat him handily.)

She fills the rest of her time being a banshee and auditioning for the role of antichrist. She won’t be bored.

It’s clear the Liberals consolidated the disaffected PPC and Green vote. How is this not blatantly obvious from the data?

Balance of power? Might matter.

Um… called a conservative win?

*feels*

They aren’t going to come at all. It is a giant list of grievances and petty fiefdoms and regulatory capture, and every one has a deeply entrenched interest who will not go quietly.

But but but - which man does he think will do this? Is he saying there’s a secret agenda by one of them? If so it’s a pretty good secret from me.

Pretty sure they’ve all said “no truck nor trade”. Oh…

Stanley is out now. I can’t imagine where the offense will come from for this pending imminent come back.

Blame Stanley.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

He’s not wrong that Canada won’t win a trade war.

What he doesn’t acknowledged is the US won’t win either. Countries don’t win trade wars - it’s a dead weight loss. There may be some winners in the US and there may be some winners in Canada, but on average both will lose.

This, in spades.
