    Hamas attacks Israel

    So, terroristy flavoured, what has the Edmonton guy been charged with? How many died or were injured? I think you’ve succeeded, unless it’s a forest for the trees thing. Ok. Ok. It’s not even remotely new news though, so it’s not exactly a bombshell. We did stop finding it already (UNRWA, I...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    I’m thinking, maybe it’s the comparison with the amount of force used to subdue the guy with the unarmed Corp of Commissioner in Edmonton, compared to Israel with Hamas in Gaza.

    Hamas attacks Israel

    You’re grasping here aren’t you? We (Canadians that are taxpayers) are all Terrorist supporters through the UNRWA/HAMAS link since 2016 at least. Should we Jihad ourselves (?) or just stop funding it again like Harper managed to do in 2010 with available intelligence at that time? One guy, a...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    OK…. I’m actually sitting down at home now so reread some stuff so I can try and catch up and catch on. I apologize as I tried to read things quickly in the parking lot of a Burger King as I was eating a couple of whopper juniors (2/$5) because if I do that, I seem to save money at the grocery...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    So, are you trying to equate this one guy in Edmonton who lived in Afghanistan 12 years ago, who didn’t actually hurt anybody, including himself….to the Taliban in Afghanistan or to what Hamas did in Israel with 1200+ murdered & 250-ish kidnapped on Oct 7th? Still trying to figure this one out...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Sounds like it to me too, but I know little about that one yet still. One guy? From 12 years ago. Is he a member of the Afghanistan government? The Taliban? Etc… still trying to grasp this one. Still not grasping the tangent. Ok. Ok. Ok Ok. Ok. Ok.

    Trudeau announces Amira Elghawaby as Canada's first representative to combat Islamophobia

    Uyghurs are mostly Muslims, so sort of, but Armenians are mostly Christians so not so much there.

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Are you asking about the Dude in Edmonton in their City Hall or whatever? Is that the tangent? Is this guy (I know almost nothing about it beyond the fact that he didn’t manage to kill anybody thankfully) from Afghanistan? Or his parents are from Afghanistan? Is he a Canadian citizen, or a...

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

    So what’s a twofer? The Oxford English Dictionary says twofer means “a cigar sold at two for a quarter; hence, any cheap cigar.” Merriam-Webster says it is “two articles available for the price of one or about the price of one.” Webster’s says twofer means “an offer or arrangement in which a...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    http://apple.news/ABlVD9tuZTj6UWl4PEco78Q The current Israel-Hamas war cannot be resolved in a court of law or by judges, no matter how well-intentioned. One of the major reasons for the court’s rulings being ineffective is that they do not account for Hamas, the terrorist organization that...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    So, in light of what’s being recognized (again) this week, regarding UNRWA, we as Canadian taxpayers are Terrorist supporters by our own definition. It’s a tangled web, but not new news, & thus the reason PM Harper suspended funding to UNRWA & thus HAMAS back in 2010…but, it was reinstated...

    Public Inquiries into Emergencies Act begin September 19

    I was just telling my story as it happened. Ironically, in that first year, nobody got Covid on our fleet, or in our office, and we were exposed to 30 drivers consistently travelling unvaccinated through the US a couple times each month for each driver. Go figure. I never had to bring that...

    Public Inquiries into Emergencies Act begin September 19

    In the first year of the pandemic, Canada just didn’t have access to vaccinations for COVID unlike the US, but transport (as essential) didn’t/couldn’t stop. All of Canada’s (vaccination) eggs were in the Chinese basket, so that never happened. With 30 unvaccinated drivers on the road...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Liberal MP Salma Zahid told reporters before Friday's caucus meeting that she was "a bit disappointed that they didn't ask for an immediate ceasefire” regarding the UN ICJ Court "As a signatory, I think it's incumbent on Canada to convince Israel to make sure that they (meaning Israel, but not...
