    All Trump

    No idea, but sounds like coffee and cocaine are going up in the US. President Trump said his administration would impose 25% tariffs on Colombian goods coming into the U.S., retaliating against the South American country for rejecting two U.S. flights carrying migrants back home. The move...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    No idea. How many Gaza children are in Hamas? Still no idea. Maybe we should ask the Hamas run Gaza health authority, ‘cuz their stats are impeccable…but that information is very difficult to find online. Is Hamas in the West Bank? Are they recruiting? Both sides aren’t doing well at upholding...

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    Nepean MP Chandra Arya says he's been informed by the Liberal Party of Canada he's not permitted to run in the leadership contest to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. In a statement posted to social media, Arya said the party notified him on Saturday. "While I await their official...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Beats just strapping explosives to them and sending them off into a crowd, I guess. Beats equipping them with AK’s & green headbands, then counting them on the civilian casualties list. Not saying imprisonment is acceptable, but pointing out the obvious.

    Canadian Federal Election Outcome October 20th (or 27th?), 2025.

    We’ll, after Justin Trudeau‘s commitment towards eventually resigning after the Liberals select a new leader (preferably the one that he has chosen), it seems to have helped them out in the polls somewhat: Not as potentially winning the next federal election whenever that’s allowed to...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    And the whole situation is a goddamn mess, and if they’re only throwing rocks at caterpillars, the rebounds are killing civilians over there from infants to the elderly…probably not in the IDF. It’s a common enough thing that there’s a wiki page about it that I posted a link to twice so far...

    What were you told?

    From the outside looking in, of the 50.2% that didn’t vote for Trump…didn’t vote at all for anyone? Didn’t bother to get off their sofas?

    Hamas attacks Israel

    (If Hamas or the Houthis can just wander down to Ahmed’s General Supply & Nail Salon….and build rockets & missiles from off the shelf items, then other Palestinians “should” be able to figure out how to assemble a sling or a trebuchet, right?)

    Hamas attacks Israel

    No I don’t know those numbers & thus I must not have a clue. We’re back to the 300+ or the 400 children/kids, or are we including the 60 woman rock chuckers still too? How many Israelis have been killed by these thrown stones (?) & is that even relevant because… Such stone-throwing can at...

    “Frankie Bubbles” is down for a side of Trudeau’s chosen candidate. Surprise surprise…😉

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Or the agreement both sides through mediators agreed to for the cease-fire where civilian woman & children would be the first released before female soldiers, etc…but someone needs to hold their feet to the fire, and if Gazan’s can’t migrate to the north of the Gaza Strip until the Civilian...

    You’re saying that service from CRA hasn’t gotten 42% better? A decade ago, if you got frustrated waiting, you could just to to the Service Canada outlet in your city, but that’s no longer an option at least here in Regina (no staff).

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Good morning! Happy Sunday! 300+ children chucking rocks at who & why? Oh, so ‘that’s’ why Hamas didn’t release Arbel Yehud? I hadn’t stumbled across ‘that’ reason provided by Hamas this weekend yet. Got a LINK? Ok. Terrorist occupiers are fair game. Got it. Ok. Unfriendly fire. Got it...

    Damn, not sure how the quote function mixed the two of you up above. Weird, & I’m sure it’s something I’ve done.

    Chrystia Freeland

    …& that’s not what’s being proposed, but something has to happen. As a Canadian, do you “feel” (not the objective evidence) that things are functioning better now than they were a decade ago as a whole? Are things 42% better? Is healthcare moving 42% faster? Etc…? Which is ironic, as an...

    Chrystia Freeland

    Objective evidence? No, but I’m living through both then & now if that helps. I could Google but here we are. The growth rate under Trudeau of the civil service has been prolific, and what we get for out dollars sure doesn’t feel like it did a decade ago. Poilievre has committed to reduce about...

    On Wednesday, the Tories set out clear benchmarks for the public service cleanup. The plan is to not replace employees when they leave, the party’s deputy leader, Melissa Lantsman, told the National Post. Given that around 17,000 staff members end their service each year, that will reduce the...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Ok, this is kinda funny, & sad, & shows a complete lack of understanding of the region & its (even very recent) history. Egypt & Jordan have both accepted Palestinian refugees in the recent past, & it bit them both in the arse. Black September anyone? The attacks in the Sinai in 2014? Egypt &...
