Not to mention the sneaky way of using models for plus-size clothing when they are either clearly not plus-size, or if so, it's just the 1x range. It's a crapshoot as to what will actually fit. And women aren't necessarily symmetrical. Plus-size does NOT mean you're endowed like Dolly Parton.

I kind of feel sizes have changed in general, perhaps due to changes in how they're manufactured, so it definitely is a crapshoot. I find that I can't simply buy the same size between different brands as it's not a guarantee that they'll fit. For instance, a size large of pants from one brand will fit well, but another will either be too big or too small, or the proportions will be wrong.

Aw, damn.

see the stupid is continuing unabatted from the ndp with the interim leader saying they'll vote against the throne speed because there wasn't anything in their priority areas.

(original article has been updated after the speech was accepted without a recorded voted).

Now it's expect the tories would vote against it because that's what they would do but the with the liberals the ndp has a chance with govt that would care about some of those issues.

I think had the throne speech been rejected and we went back to the polls what's left of the ndp would be wiped out and the liberals would wind up with majority because the voters would be utterly pissed at having another election.

In 2011 the liberals and the ndp combined to break down harper's minority govt and boy did that blow up in their faces.

A sad day for Canada. A legacy to be proud of.

Some days, I suspect that I am going to switch from NDP to Green.

And have any of you seen the text of Carney's Bill C-2 yet?

I tried. I'm not fluent in Parliamentese, so if anyone can translate, it would be appreciated.

My Dad got to meet him and several other astronauts. My Dad at the time had been working at our local science centre and was in charge of the astronomy/space department and had conceived a solar observatory for the science centre, and on Marc Garneau's visit, he was able to show him how it worked.

I haven't read the bill itself, but I've read summaries about it online. Not happy about it at all.

I didn't realize I would become this disappointed with Carney this quickly.

Same here. It smells of a sort of anticipatory obedience.
