They'll get a slap on the wrist and that'll be the end of a four-year, super-expensive debacle.

At least one lawyer here in BC had a wrist-slap by the law society, plus had to pay costs, for not reviewing an AI-generated document done by a third-party. It's going to get worse before it gets better.

DND has long been its own stumbling block vis a vis procurement. Let's hope that this new agency will mitigate that problem.

On Oct. 1, 1972, The Beachcombers debuted on CBC.
For the next 18 years, it aired over 350 episodes and become one of the most famous and successful dramatic series ever made for Canadian television.
To this day, it remains a loved piece of our culture.

As the Alberta teacherโ€™s strike looms, I want to make sure everyone knows:

There is no strike pay for teachers, every day of strike cuts into teachersโ€™ bank accounts.

I've noticed this most with berries. I spoke with a produce manager in Safeway (Sobeys) today because the raspberries in their clamshell packaging were marked as "Produced in USA", but the sign on the shelf said "Grown in BC, Canada". The excuse was "human error".

This is absolute hogswallop. I picked a random year for Canada (1968) and could find one "shooting spree" where five people were injured and nobody killed. This silly graph shows sixteen "mass shootings" for Canada that year. Credibility shot.

The black-and-white photo depicts an intense ice hockey moment with players in action. Paul Henderson is cheering with his arms raised, holding his stick triumphantly. Another player in a similar Canadian jersey is nearby, while a player in a "CCCP" (Soviet Union) jersey stands to the right. A goaltender is on the ice, and a crowd is visible in the background behind the net.

On Sept. 28, 1972, Canada and the Soviet Union took to the ice in the final game of the Summit Series. With the series tied, it would come down to one of the most famous goals in Canadian hockey history.
This is the story of Game Eight.
