    Public Inquiries into Emergencies Act begin September 19

    Maybe. Neither of us was there personally, but the Inquiry is interesting all by itself.

    Nancy Pelosi’s husband arrested for DUI in California

    Roofing hammer maybe? There’s a “right” hammer for every job. I don’t even own one anymore, but I do have a Fire Axe so balance in the Universe.

    Good Grief. F'ing Moonbats

    Sea levels are rising, and falling, twice a day now I hear, catastrophically at times. Have you heard of the Bay of Fundy? It’s extreme. Hot places are getting hotter and cold places are getting colder, and windy places are getting windier. Sunny places are getting sunnier, and hilly places are...

    Public Inquiries into Emergencies Act begin September 19

    I understand what you’re saying, & I wonder how much of that was a reflection of the ominous news predictions and the “racist misogynistic raping horde descending upon the good folks of Ottawa” statements from Justin/Jagmeet that set the tone regardless of what actually happened?

    I was going to say something about equality but it’ll come out wrong no matter how I word it.

    Nancy Pelosi’s husband arrested for DUI in California

    OK, but 40yr old guy with a hammer regardless of his political views or mental condition, vs 82 yr old guy….& the 82yr old guy lives and is going to be fine is a remarkable story unto itself, bordering upon miraculous.

    Nancy Pelosi’s husband arrested for DUI in California

    This is pretty horrible, and I admit I know very little about it at this point. Somethings are kind of weird though. Nancy Pelosi‘s husband (I honestly don’t know his name), is something like 82 years old, and he was still wrestling with the hammer-guy when the police arrived? Holy cow!! Then...

    Public Inquiries into Emergencies Act begin September 19

    There’s always at least three sides to every story: Ottawa police laid more than 500 charges during last winter’s “Freedom Convoy” occupation of the city’s downtown and the city’s acting deputy police chief acknowledged that “in a large number” of other incidents police could do little more than...

    Good Grief. F'ing Moonbats

    So….we’re coming up on COP27 soon… While global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise and Europe scrambles to find adequate supplies of natural gas — a fossil fuel — for winter, the United Nations is poised to hold yet another of its tone-deaf global gabfests on climate change. From Nov. 6...

    Public Inquiries into Emergencies Act begin September 19

    Interesting… Interesting again. Two weeks into the inquiry. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/convoy-protest-foreign-influence-1.6629631 In a Feb. 19 report from the Ontario Provincial Police's Provincial Operations Intelligence Bureau, analysts raised the spectre of foreign influence in the...

    Public Inquiries into Emergencies Act begin September 19

    As the second full week of hearings by the Public Order Emergency Commission winds down, it’s becoming increasingly clear just how weak the government’s rationale appears to be for invoking the Emergencies Act. As I wrote last week, key witnesses, including the OPP’s intelligence chief Supt...

    Public Inquiries into Emergencies Act begin September 19

    “The Canadian government is ultimately responsible for the invocation of the Emergencies Act and is accountable for its use,” said Senator David Arnot in February. However, accountability isn’t something Justin Trudeau is good at. When the ethics commissioner handed down a damning report in...

    B.C. drought by the numbers: Vancouver, Victoria saw less than 10% of average rainfall since July

    I count 19 extremes in the last 4 posts without expanding any quotes. Just what’s visible. That’s pretty….saturated. Maybe it’s just me but the word extreme has been so overused as to not be all that extreme anymore.

    I don’t know if he’s a dic-tator but he’s some kind’a tater. Dude is already an international joke & he knows it as far as his reputation on the world stage goes. This inquiry is not going to help his reputation….but can it really hurt it more than it already is???

    B.C. drought by the numbers: Vancouver, Victoria saw less than 10% of average rainfall since July

    That’s extremely extreme…to the Extreme! Which place got 14’ of rain in seven consecutive days (extremists call that a “Week”)? I ask about the 14’ being the 24” per day & for seven days in a row referred to above… I’m not claiming anything is or isn’t normal, & I’ve been through a prairie...
