offensive. Next year another huge initiative to change something else. This type of thing is literally endless as everything is changing all the time. Sounds like a waste of tax $ to me.

Changing a name isn't stupid, unless done for stupid reasons. If you have the money - get it done. It also doesn't have to be done all at once. Start small with new document templates, create a reasonable budget for replacing signs...

Speaking as someone that resides in what was once the Province of Canada (Upper Canada or Canada West) and renamed themselves something else native - we named ourselves after the Huron word for 'Great Lake' and that ignores the fact that we're only talking one of the 4 great lakes that border us on one side of the province... There's way more to the province than the Hurons and way more than just that one lake. Seriously, get a huge list of place names that are underutilized by all the different nations out there, find something that is easier to spell than Saskatchewan, and send it around for approval.

The ONLY downside is that you're throwing out a lot of 'brand recognition.' I made the argument that the Law Society of Ontario should not have renamed themselves from the Law Society of Upper Canada because they have been called the LSUC for over 200 years. It's like if The Bay decided to go close all their stores under that banner and exclusively work under the name Saks Fifth Avenue - I don't think it would work out well for them, and it might not work well for BC.

Conflict of interest? Say it ain't so...

There's listings for some pretty intensely expensive properties at 550 Park Avenue. I saw one for over $10M with its own gym. I don't know - maybe we're getting a deal out of this. Tough to say with Sask Today putting together such a terrible article.

I mean, wouldn't the safest place to continue doing concerts would be Australia, where they actually have pretty stringent gun laws?

Biden: End the tipped minimum wage.

Tipping also disappears.

Servers: Not like this!

"Everything we've done (bugger all) hasn't worked, so we'll allow these companies to merge and reduce competition further with 'enforceable' conditions attached that everyone recognizes won't do a thing." Have they thought of nationalization? Competition with a crown company? A giant surtax on their ludicrous profits? Heavy regulation? A license/board scheme where their plans and prices need approval before making offers?

I wouldn't mind writing, but I'd first have to find a date...

We have systems for that. We can join the various 'teams' of people doing the punching and we can, as a group, demand that they change their practices - next convention the group votes on replacing ball punches with a hearty 'punchbuggy' to the shoulder. Several leaders run and make promises on how hearty to make that shoulder-punch, and we select someone for the next election between face, neck and shoulder. You don't get to complain about where the 3 parties are punching if you aren't in there telling them to change their target - otherwise you got party die-hards saying things like "we've always punched to the neck, and that's what Canadians want."

I like this one the best. A dilemma is not necessarily that there's no good options, but rather the decision is difficult. Think of the time traveler killing Hitler problem: if you kill Hitler too early, he isn't globally hated anymore when time plays out, and you're just a murderer. Too late, and you've allowed so many people to die just to justify that he deserves to die... Where's the 'right time?' There's a giant spectra of time that you can make as a justification of when to kill Hitler.

Yeah, unofficial word on the Canada 'briefing' was that the US 'PowerPoint' to going to war in Iraqi was a lazy and stupid presentation that didn't impress anyone.

Yeah. Bicycle - two wheels. Bisection - two sections. Yes, you are cutting a something into parts, but it's identifying you have 2 of them after the cut. If you have 3 sections after the cutting, it's trisected.
