Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?

To be clear, it’s been in place for three years.
YouTube is taxed under the act, and Google has vocally opposed it.
I don’t really get his position on this issue.
“This notion that somehow we’ve got these large U.S. companies that don’t contribute has just never been factual. The reality is these companies have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on film and television production in Canada,” Geist said.
Geist said he’s comfortable with regulations around discoverability, ensuring platforms better promote Canadian content, but ultimately he’d like to see the free market operate like a free market.
I think that woefully underestimates the effects of American dominance in the entertainment landscape, and would only serve to ensure that Canada becomes even more of a place for Hollywood to outsource their own productions, while stifling home-grown content.
According to the Canada Media Fund’s website, an applicant (generally the producer) must be Canadian “and have full creative and financial control over all aspects of the project, from development through production and exploitation.”
That’d be a provincial survey, not a federal one.
But we need a lot of time and much deeper ties before we’d jump into eu membership.
Yeah, it’s very easy to be “open” to the idea. I’m interested myself, but I know next to nothing about what the effects of that sort of integration would be.
Hell, LaGuardia has ASDE-X installed. The fire truck in question did not have a transponder, rending a significant portion of the system pretty useless in this case.
It’s unclear whether any of the ground vehicles at LaGuardia are equipped with the transponders, or at least it was unclear the last I heard.
I’d like to see a little more scrutiny of the way the media reports on and frames these things, too.
There are far too many stories that basically start and end at “this government project will cost X millions/billions/whatever,” without putting any effort into exploring whether that’s a lot of money in context. It’s always going to sound like a lot without proper analysis.
If I remember correctly, the Sussex property itself is inadequate for modern security needs, so I agree completely, with the caveat that they should find another location.
a federally funded agency is doing away with an efficient electronic system, with no clear plans for its replacement.
What am I missing?
Most of the investment — approximately $32 billion — is being drawn from a pool of money set aside almost four years ago by former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s government to modernize NORAD, the binational North American air defence command shared with the United States.
So not necessarily new funds, but perhaps a more solid plan on what it will be spent on.
They’re riding high in the polls, so it makes strategic sense to get it done ASAP.
I think both things can be true to be honest.
It’s a shame, but I can also understand why - council meetings and other open events are increasingly security risks, full of wingnut conspiracy theorists.
Even though I mostly watched the main CBC feed, I really enjoy the Olympics being handled by the broadcast consortium.
There was a small moment at the end of the hockey tournament where Elliotte Friedman turned to his fellow panelists and thanked them, acknowledging that they may never actually work together again, since they were a hodgepodge of Sportsnet people and TSN people, amongst others. Kind of a unique* thing.
*okay, probably not unique, but somewhat unusual.

The Brits seemed to be in full control going into the ninth, and it was theirs to lose.
And they did, with some critical errors that completely changed the momentum of the game.
Tough Olympics for her, but it’s good to see her get a medal.
I didn’t claim otherwise.
To be clear, this was a single location, not the entire company.
