    Hamas called on all components of Palestinian society to mobilize in order to confront the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) “unprecedented” level of “aggression” against it and other terror groups in the West Bank, the terror group confirmed in a Friday press release. In the statement, Hamas...

    Canada 51st State

    Even in Canada, accidentally pulling out your military ID or military drivers license at a traffic stop (even from the passenger seat) doesn’t seem to hurt the situation. A friend of ours is currently a Sergeant in the air force (but all services are lumped into the same building in a small...

    Letters that sound the same aren’t as big of a challenge as similar shapes (regardless of orientation) with dyslexia. {What still screws me up, to this day, is the rare scenario where I end up at an intersection in front of an ambulance, & (especially if I’m tired) & I’m reading the word...

    Two years into the Trudeau 2.0 Minority Term, which day will Justin call the election that only he wants?

    Every leader, in any political system, is going to have detractors & cheerleaders… I like to look at things occurring currently or recently in the light of, “How will this, or this person, be perceived in 50 or 100 years? Hero or Zero?” sort of thing.

    Due to the way they’re set up, parliamentary systems don’t usually have lame duck sessions. I’d argue that Canada’s parliament has been in one for much of the last year though, especially the last session, & the next one that may or may not actually last more than a few hours on January 27th...

    Three years of it actually, 45+ years ago. Sorting out those d & b & p & q letters ‘cuz they’re really all the same letter. It’s still sneaks up and bites being in the ass every so often though, especially if I’m tired.

    Different fiscal management on BOTH sides of the border. Pre-Trump also, whom you seem to not be a fan of.

    Chrystia Freeland

    (Did I get the gender of the bus correct? La didn’t feel right in this context)

    Chrystia Freeland

    I think that Freeland isn’t a good person of her own merits. She hitched her wagon to Justin Trudeau, as the good little shrewish henchmen/person/gnome she is. Yes, she did finally resign, & did it in a dramatically understated/over the top timed manner…three days after, for all intents and...

    This is true. Was it as true 10-15 years ago?

    Ok. The first time the phrase is known to have been used in its metaphorical sense was in the 18th century; it was used at the London Stock Exchange to refer to a stockbrokerwho defaulted on his debts. In 1761, Horace Walpole wrote, in a letter to Sir Horace Mann: "Do you know what a Bull and a...

    Is it possible the term can pertain to more than just American politics?

    Joe Biden

    I’m sure many people voted for Kamala Harris. Trudeau (Jr) got re-elected twice even after we knew who he was after his first term.

    Anyway, I don’t know if over time anybody’s picked up on this, but I’m not a big fan of Trudeau, but every once in a while, somebody somewhere in his staff, does the right thing that he can take credit for. Taking this out and dusting it off, is one of them: In the last 30 seconds of the above...

    Andrew Perez, a Liberal Party strategist and principal of Perez Strategies, said that prorogation is almost certainly fait accompli. “I don’t see how the government can avoid prorogation,” he said. “If they don’t, they’re going to be defeated and plunged into an election in the first week of...
