Well, in all fairness, if Gerard Butler can play not only one, but two leprechauns in the same movie, then Hugh Laurie as an Oompa Loompa isn’t that big of a stretch. My opinion & evolving definition of Woke & Wokeness is only about the last decade or so, as I get busy, and I miss big...

OK, this is interesting. Can I safely (?) guess at the timeframe that each of you (Ski, Serryah, & Dex) either formed your definitions…or the timeframe your definition is bridging? Again, this is just guesswork or discussion, knowing I’m making assumptions based upon my own definition of...

To each their own, & it takes all kinds to make the world spin. Personally, I liked the fact that even with the option of contact lenses, Poilievre just wore glasses and didn’t seem to give two shits about the optics of his choice, but that’s just me.

I’m generally a 6 or 8 to 1 ratio guy with booze, but now I’m curious. I enjoy a drink or two, but not being at a stage of not being rational or in control if something happens…so I dilute and pace…but the above sounds really good! What about substituting Kahlúa for the Espresso (?) because...

…or the division between good for everyone & good for “the party”….

Fun story, but my first encounter with a drug sniffing dog was while exiting Cuba the first time I had been there. I’ve been around dogs all my life, so I have some conditioned reflexes. I’m standing in line (the Cue) in a communist country, and these are long lines…waiting to get to the front...

I’ve never heard of this PEPFAR until this thread a few minutes ago. HIV & AIDS is a global scourge that needs a multi-national network to combat and eventually (hopefully) eradicate it. AIDS still kills millions each year, and weirdly, it’s a disease with two faces, depending on your location...

Yeah but…pretty much means you’d also have your own definition that differs somewhat than mine. That’s not a bad thing, but it’s still a thing. Others are going to have definitions that vary greatly from mine, & that’s also not a bad thing, but it’s still a thing, and should be discussed to...

Well, ok, I’ll give it a shot at a definition. The term “woke” started out meaning the state after waking up. About a 100 years ago it also was also being used at a term to becoming aware of the injustices around you. This definition of its use became more widespread into the 60’s…so more than...

I have a Son who’s 35yrs old (with his own home & family) that I (sparingly) request of his assistance when I’m truly in need of something “like” a tractor or a forklift. Does that count?

FEMA Style, even as a temporary solution is still a step in some direction as opposed to no direction. If we grow & Evolve beyond needing these….They are shipping containers.…so they can be shipped elsewhere. I’m all for it.

I concur with your assessment of the situation. Currently with the current immigration quotas, the market is not keeping up. I’m advocating for controled growth so that the free market can keep up or catch up to government policy as it stands. Yes, I’m using it as a hammer on a pot to make...

I’m generally not a beer guy, but some tequila in my coffee later in the day on a Saturday May be in my future.

I’m not sure where you got that from, but ok. The free market isn’t bringing in 1/80th or more of our national population annually without a plan to house them. Given time and controlled growth the free market would catch up…but that’s not currently what’s happening. I’m not sure how the...

No, had some generic allergy pills this morning so I’m good. Keeping the weeds down in the vacant lots around our place seems to help a lot. Just finished mowing our lawn, & the neighbours lawn to the north of that, & the neighbours lawn to the north of that, and 3/4 of the vacant commercial...

Built & assembled are two different things, but I hear you. Doesn’t look like an inexpensive process, but I’m assuming (yeah, I know, ass/u/me) the cost may be comparable to conventional construction? We had one of those (about half the height of the one in the video) popped up in short order...

Hello, newly minted Housing Minister Sean Fraser and congratulations on your promotion. Ditto Marc Miller, also recently arrived in the Immigration portfolio after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s seismic shuffle this week. The left hand of Immigration seems to be unaware of what the right hand...

Is this whining above (?) or pointing out the obvious and absurd?

So we’re competing against Azerbaijan for last place then? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azerbaijan

In the Trudeau Cabinet Re-Shuffle again this week, the three Ministers responsible for economic policy – Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, Innovation Minister François-Philippe Champagne and Trade Minister Mary Ng – remains unchanged. Collectively, they have overseen policies that have...
