Employees cannot lawfully strike unless a strike vote by secret ballot is taken within 30 days or less before the collective agreement expires or at any time after the collective agreement expires and more than 50% of those voting by secret ballot in favour of the strike.

Can lightning strike the same place twice?

NSSL Frequently Asked Questions
Lightning does hit the same spot (or almost the same spot) more than once, contrary to folk wisdom. It could be simply a statistical fluke (i.e., with all the lightning that occurs, eventually lightning will strike somewhere near a previous lightning strike within a short period of time). It could also be that something about the site makes it somewhat more likely to be struck.

Why do I have to go somewhere else to vote when there is a polling place across the street?

Colfax County FAQ's | Colfax County, New Mexico
The law states that precinct lines must be drawn using physical boundaries like streets or power lines, and not imaginary boundaries, like section and range lines. If you live on one side of a street which is a precinct boundary line, you are not entitled to vote in the adjoining precinct, even if its polling place is closer to your residence. The county clerk's office tries to make polling places as close to a majority of the population as possible, however, it is not always feasible to do so.

Why can't we use the F-35 JSF (Joint Strike Fighter) or the Navy Hornet in place of the F-22?

F-22 Raptor Team Web Site: Government -Why the F-22? Moderni...
The F-22 is the only stealth air dominance fighter America is building. Lockheed Martin is leading its development, as well as that of the JSF. It is up to the Pentagon to decide if, when and how each of those aircraft should be developed, built and delivered. The Joint Strike Fighter is not an alternative to the F-22. It is meant to work in tandem with the F-22 as a multirole fighter, similarly to the synergistic team of the F-15 and F-16 today.

Is a Third Party Vote a Wasted Vote?

The goal of this section is to convince you that casting your vote for me, as a third-party candidate, is most assuredly not a wasted vote. Defining Wasted Vote: In wikipedia.org a wasted vote is defined as any vote which is not for an elected candidate or any vote which does not help to elect a candidate. In my opinion a better definition is, a wasted vote is a vote that does not produce the desired outcome for which the vote was cast.
