    Non-Coalition Coalition that’s Definitely NOT a Coalition…

    Based on his rhetoric, Canadians might think that Jagmeet Singh was a harsh critic of the Trudeau government — one who holds the Liberals to account. Yet, by his actions, Canadians who are paying attention will quickly realize that Singh has turned his party into a doormat for the Liberals to...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    The United Nations has significantly adjusted Palestinian casualty figures (from the Hamas run Gaza Health Authority) for the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip, halving the number of women and children previously reported killed. But they’re only counted once each, unless each one identifies as...

    The Stupidity That Was Canada's Single-Use Plastics Ban.

    About $18.25 in American dollars for comparison. Almost all of that’s tax’s. Black market smokes are $6-$10/20 pack & those have been stepped on pricewise repeatedly before reaching the Prairies. (last time I was in Cuba, cheapest pack of smokes converted to about $0.65 USD…but about 15yrs...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    And somewhere between the two extremes from the two sides…may or may not be the truth. I totally hear you.

    Hamas attacks Israel

    So if the middle ground is 2.5 battalions (so 2500-ish militants) plus 5 of 10 more & 1/2,of an Ellie May still in Rafah alone? That fair?

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Yep, in the competing narrative against Hamas media wing, about the Hamas military wing, with opposing numbers from the Hamas run Gaza Health Ministry wing. The truth may or may not be somewhere in the middle. So there’s probably somewhere between 5 battalions or 10-11 individuals from Hamas...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Sounds like there might be a few more than 10 & Ellie May. Hamas will not submit or surrender. Israel claims that half of Hamas's fighters have been killed but every day the IQB demonstrates that it is still capable of fierce resistance. There remain at least five active battalions, now broken...

    April Fools!! Here's your Carbon Tax F#ckers!!!

    Here’s an interesting letter in the Calgary Sun: Over the past several years I have spent some big bucks into making my tiny 1978 three-bedroom abode in Silver Springs into a more energy-efficient domicile. I had the original windows replaced with the best triple-pane windows money could buy. I...

    Forgotten Genocide

    I don’t know if Uyghurs are so much forgotten as ignored. Since 2014, the Chinese government has been accused by various organizations, such as Human Rights Watch of subjecting Uyghurs living in Xinjiang to widespread persecution, including forced sterilization and forced labor. Scholars...

    UNRWA. It's like this...

    Anywho UNRWA as a division of the UN on Friday, the UN General Assembly — which every year passes more resolutions condemning Israel than all other nations on earth, combined — voted in favour of granting UN membership to a yet-to-be created Palestinian state, by a margin of 143 to 9 with 25...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Ok. So is it an intelligence fuck up (?) or an intentional sacrifice of 1500 people on a holiday for nefarious purposes? On the subject of intelligence, the Biden administration, working urgently to stave off a full-scale Israeli invasion of Rafah, is offering Israel valuable assistance if it...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    So the Israelis were warned that a Hamas (Or Hezbollah, or Houthi, or others, etc…) attack was a possibility (like from most of their neighbours for more that 3/4’s of the last century…and specifically from the Iranian sponsored groups for the last 4+ decades, and they should’ve know better...

    Three Days a Week?

    Yep, true enough. Bingo! (No racial profiling parody intended) That’s the crux of the civil service working from home issue. The Trudeau government has increased the size of the federal public service by 37.9%, or almost 100,000 additional employees, since coming to power in 2015, according to...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    I’m trying to get across that there’s currently more questions than answers regarding Palestines new status as a non-voting sovereign state (?) in the UN, and hoping others might have stumbled across information to which they would post a link showing not only the rights and privileges but also...

    COVID-19 'Pandemic'

    Well, that explains that. Phew! We don’t have to worry about a new pandemic then like Jew Flu or whatever…just the devil we know and many of us are vaccinated against.
