Man, it’s about time. The looting of Canada’s publicly owned companies has gone on for too long.

It is no longer the AECL - it is now Canadian Nuclear Laboratories or CNL and I do eat the maple syrup.

they still blew a very profitable almost monopoly on the production of radioactive isotopes. It was such an imbalance that it makes the day business pale in comparison. Ever since they abandoned that business, we have had to rely on the dutch (Unreliable) south africans (too far) or the australians (Plain incompetent).

Bring the Canadians back!!!!

Most or all of this drama, humiliation, wasted taxpayer money could be spared -
with even modest attempt at presenting balanced facts from the start.

Newfoundland / March 31, 1949

When Newfoundland became Canada's 10th province 70 years ago
https://www.cbc.ca/archives/when-newfou ... -1.5045846
.. A dictionary of its own

In 1982, The National's Knowlton Nash announced that Canadians from parts other than Newfoundland would now stand a chance at deciphering some of the language unique to the province, thanks to the publication of a new dictionary.

Twenty years in the making, a book explaining dialect unique to the island hit the bookstores. 2:27
Twenty years in the making, The Dictionary of Newfoundland English was meant to let all Canadians into the secrets of Newfoundland speech.

Dictionary editor George Story explained the origin of the Newfoundland dialect that is "just a little different."

"You've got comparatively few changes in the makeup of the Newfoundland people," Story said, adding that 98 per cent of Newfoundlanders were of Irish or west country English descent.

The dictionary, which was selling at $45 a copy — about $115 today — was looking sure to sell well. Most of the copies, however, were going to Newfoundland bookstores, and few on the mainland were interested.

However, a second, updated and much thicker version was published in 1990, and remains in print. So if, as Pratt discussed back in 1949, Canadians are puzzling over the meaning of words like "brewis" and or "hert," it's all there for the finding.

And now the movie "Unplanned" is in effect being banned from ever being shown in theatres in Canada. "Content" is being cited as the reason.

In the U.S., the movie was given an “R” rating, which means younger viewers are limited.
The complaint became, “15 year old children can go for abortions, without parental consent,
but cannot go to this pro-life movie!”

i do not plan to see the movie. i think i know pretty well how it goes. :)

The corporate profits at stake must be huge to cause so much disturbance.


Update on Page 1, OP:
‘We pledge to fight to make abortion unthinkable in our lifetime’:
Ontario’s youngest politician

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/we-pl ... mpaign=LSN

May 13, 2019
.. Oosterhoff was the highest profile of the pro-life politicians, having been, at 19, the youngest MPP ever elected in Ontario.
Now 21, Oosterhoff gave a stirring speech in front of Queen’s Park, beginning with praise for those attending Toronto’s first March for Life and taking “a stand for the most vulnerable of Canadians.”

“This year marks a sad occasion,” Oosterhoff said. “For 50 years Canadian preborn children have been under attack. The human rights of the littlest citizens of our province and our country have been ignored and their lives taken without their choice.”

“And the consequences have been devastating,” the young MPP continued. “Look around these streets ... Over 4 million children are not on the streets of our cities. Millions of Canadians are not working. They’re not raising families. They’re not attending school or participating in communities. Millions of lives lost, and how many more are yet to die?”

“And this is why we march. We march to give a voice to the voiceless, to speak for those who can’t speak for themselves.”

Oosterhoff underscored the need to to help vulnerable abortion-minded women as well as the unborn. .. ..
(i have read, after viewing the movie, numbers of abortion workers have left their jobs.)
