    2022 CFL Season

    We are going to the Argos home/season opener this Thursday against Montreal. I was dismayed that yet again Saskatchewan does not visit Toronto this season. Last year, it was one of the games chopped for the covid shortened season. This year, they play that game in Halifax. Screw the maritimers...

    Gun Control is Completely Useless.

    Depends on how you define useless. The stuff about banning felons from owning guns is great on paper but in practice a lot of them own and use guns. All illegal of course. But the law does not help. But yes, IMHO those are all reasonable restrictions.

    Gun Control is Completely Useless.

    I have heard of some states where if a gun is involved, regardless of the crime, it becomes a felony.

    Those comments have been said by thousands of black jack players when they lose or go on a losing streak.

    ‘Painful summer ahead:’ Gas prices reach 211.9 in Metro Vancouver, expected to rise

    It really has nothing to do with OPEC. It's economies of scale. It is much cheaper to ship the oil to the USA to big refinaries and buy back the gas then to build refineries here. But if it were cheaper, they would do it in a heartbeat. OPEC controls their production in order to manipulate the...

    And again... (Another US Shooting)

    The Supreme Court just did. Said no consecutive sentences. The second and third and Nth murder is free. 25 years regardless of number. They just arrested some teens that have been terrorizing people doing carjackings in Toronto. The cops layed 100 charges. So even if they get convicted of all...

    Trudeau cancels appearance at Surrey fundraiser after protesters hurl racial slurs

    He was going to scrap it. It was in his little red book.

    Breaking : 5.1 magnitude earthquake strikes off the coast of B.C.

    It's amazing how they can construct long sentences and paragraphs and say absolutely nothing just to get their post count up. They sound like the mayor of Toronto -- John Tory. He can go on a long speech and basically say nothing of consequence.

    Lincoln a Progressive?

    I think it was in the 20th century. Looking at Texas what we think of now as a Republican stronghold, it didn't become so until 1980. Before 1956, it was Democrat all but twice. Between 1956 and 1976 it voted Democrat 4 times and Republican 3 times. There was definitely a swing in party...

    Crazy Liberal Lady Outted

    If they act on that, that would be the ultimate irony -- terminated for social media content for a video warning people to watch their social media content. lol

    What Emergency Act?

    In theory I think the Governer General on behalf of the Queen could dissolve parliament. But non-confidence is the only one by mear mortals. Won't happen since NDP is in bed with Truedope.

    PC majority in Provincial election 2022

    The Conservatives ran a rather straight forward low risk campaign. A couple shots at the other leaders and a couple highlighting how they were going to help Ontarionians. The Liberals and NDP offered nothing of substance to counter that.

    Gun Control is Completely Useless.

    1 person = 1 vote. Every riding is supposed to be something like 75k people. If we have more population density, we should get more ridings. Why should a less populated area get to dictate what happens in a more populated area more than their population allows?

    Their lawn signs were yellow not blue.

    Gun Control is Completely Useless.

    Well you know if a Quebeker speaks english AND french he counts as 2 people right?

    Gun Control is Completely Useless.

    Why should an area of BC with 3 indians at a farmer get more of a say in what happens in Toronto? It is not 1 acre = 1 vote it is 1 person = 1 vote. Don't like it, get more people.

    Gun Control is Completely Useless.

    Toronto has more population than some provinces. Why would they not have more representatives?

    And again... (Another US Shooting)

    A fetus becomes alive when it can survive and not "die" when removed from the womb. I think that is around 22-24 weeks.

    Following the rules certainly would have made it a different race.

    Buck-A-Ride A Massive Hit with Voters

    The old argument that the NDP & Libs use about how scary the PCs are failed to resonate with voters this time out basically because they didn't really offer anything that made them unique aside from fighting the evil PCs. Yes the NDP was disappointing in a way but when the traditional 3rd place...
