[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tahna Los: [QB] First: 1) From what I've been told, the power to shoot down a civilian jet lies within the military. I know what Commander-in-Chief means. I know that only the President can authorize the use of nukes, but I was surprised when people were saying that the authority to shoot down planes was with the highest ranking General, and NOT the President. Remind me to glue my eyes to more CNN. 2) Lieutenant-Governor in our province doesn't have anything to do with vice-Governor or anything like that. First of all, he/she is appointed by the province with the royal assent of the Queen. Secondly, he/she is not a lawmaker, but appoints people to civilian commissions similar to the HRC. 3) [i]I don't need a permit to burn weeds and such, or garbage, or anything else that's far more likely to burn than trees. You must live in an especially restrictive place.[/i] Allow me to clarify: if you wish to burn an area larger than one half acre (I think), you need a permit. You DON'T need a permit to burn weeds, wood chips, or anything else. And Certainly, the government won't stop you from creating a pool for your Crayfish. As for a dam, well, I think it depends on the size. 4) [i]Hence, multizilliondollar lawsuits, hence increased costs, hence increased prices, cut staff, and cut budgets, hence a DECREASE rather than an increase in access and services.[/i] If you want to use the HRC as a vehicle to sue, then the maximum amount of damages that you can claim is around $10,000 (not including legal fees), maybe even less. And if you want a multizilliondollar lawsuit, then you can do so, WITHOUT the HRC, and their reports stating of whatever discrimination has taken place. In other words, you go from scratch. The HRC was meant as a vehicle to address complaints, and NOT as a vehicle to abuse the court system. I've seen files on this. I've worked there. I know what it's like. EDIT: forgot to add a bit regarding legal fees. [/QB][/QUOTE]
