    Walmart, Costco and other big box stores in Canada begin enforcing vaccine mandates, and some shoppers aren’t buying it

    Meh…. They’ve been doing this here in Saskatchewan for what feels like forever. No big thing.

    Give It Back Nancy

    Interesting, with a fine of $200 ‘if’ they’re caught (?) is like a Liberal Party ethics violation punishment. At least the insider trading is something that both sides of the house can get behind with a unified position.

    Trucker protest at U.S. border crossing reportedly several kilometres long

    By the way, Canada dropping hits cross-border vaccine mandate isn’t going to help Canadian truckers directly, but it will allow American truckers in bringing goods…. Which will help the Canadian economy…& if American truckers convince their government to do the same it will help Canadian...

    Justin Breyer retires

    Or Joe Biden can appoint Hilary Clinton as the new Justice, and Hilary can consult with Justine Trudeau as to how to be a black woman. He might even have a couple of outfits he can lend her.

    Nearly 60 per cent of Canadians find it difficult to feed their families, poll finds

    I get a phone call at 4 AM on Wednesday morning. A trucker has put out a differential on a six lane I94 covered in black ice. It’s only a couple of days after New Year’s Eve. He says to me, “What do I do now?” I say to myself, “this morning is going to be interesting…” & that is the context I’m...

    This one’s cute, from the party that pretends to represent the downtrodden & middle class: http://apple.news/AdAATZbqUTveOAN6-pN6f_w NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh today condemned a convoy of truckers and others travelling to Ottawa to protest a federal rule requiring that all cross-border drivers...

    Trucker protest at U.S. border crossing reportedly several kilometres long

    Don’t get me wrong and I love driving my girlfriends SUV with traction control and all wheel drive and antilock brakes and so on and so forth. It’s a dream but it’s not what you want to use to learn how to deal with a rear wheel drive on ice…

    Trucker protest at U.S. border crossing reportedly several kilometres long

    Part of dealing with that shit is growing up with only rear-wheel drive vehicles with winter four or five months of the year, then transferring those years of experience to a bigger scale vehicle. Poor bastards….

    Wow, I guess that might be a clue as to where the bananas are that I couldn’t find in the grocery store on the weekend…

    Nearly 60 per cent of Canadians find it difficult to feed their families, poll finds

    Industry experts agree that the country's food supply is nowhere close to collapse. "I don't think we're going to be running out of food at grocery stores," said Simon Somogyi, a professor who studies Canada's food industry at the University of Guelph. Canada's food supply chain is always a...

    Nearly 60 per cent of Canadians find it difficult to feed their families, poll finds

    It’s a big country with a complicated supply chain. I guess we need a few months more for things that really hit home in one direction or another…. And it’s gonna be interesting.

    Nearly 60 per cent of Canadians find it difficult to feed their families, poll finds

    Some Canadians are facing sporadic food shortages throughout the country — and while these shortages may not be felt by everyone, that does not make them any less real to those who must contend with empty shelves. It is disappointing, then, that many progressive commentators have spent the past...

    Trucker protest at U.S. border crossing reportedly several kilometres long

    You seem to be stuck in a (an intentional?) loop here. Yesterday I stated that the percentage of vaccinated drivers in Canada is about identical to the rest of the population at between 85% and 95% vaccinated currently. Then I asked, “In this convoy what percentage of them do you think you’re...

    It's Climate Change I tell'ya!! IT'S CLIMATE CHANGE!!

    Today is another Saskatchewan temperature roller coaster over the next 18 hours: So a 28°C swing in the next 18 hours by midnight… and this is happened repeatedly this winter…. Following a stretch of about a month of windchills in the -40°C to -50°C range. Good times…. This is a very difficult...

    Trudeau : Get Your Booster!!

    This is a tough one. Those that have been government approved as leaning the right (sorry, correct left I guess) direction so deserving government dole $$$, & then accepting it, they lose any appearance of impartiality. Those that have not been approved in the same medium by the government as...

    Trucker protest at U.S. border crossing reportedly several kilometres long

    I honestly don’t understand the motivation of most people much of the time, so that’s a difficult question to answer. For ourselves, my girlfriend has been forcibly medically retired, but I’m still in the workforce, and I’m not in the position of Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos so I went to work every...

    Trucker protest at U.S. border crossing reportedly several kilometres long

    Yeah, for the first year plus, our household played things very close to the vest too. Following every rule within reason and avoiding almost all social contacts, etc…. But we’re years in now and vaccinated. Interestingly, one of the very few contacts, outside of immediate family, and outdoors...

    Trucker protest at U.S. border crossing reportedly several kilometres long

    Circling back to the convoy itself. Both my Girlfriend & I are up ‘cuz it’s 4:30am and time to milk the chickens (actually, one of our dogs needed out). I’ve turned on the coffee pot so the day has officially started. She’s mentioned to me about all the traffic on Arcola (a main drag not far...

    Trucker protest at U.S. border crossing reportedly several kilometres long

    Can it not be both? It’s not necessarily a black-and-white situation. How about Altruism & so we could continue to function in society? That was the duel motivation in our household and that’s honest. If it was only to ‘have privileges’ then we’d be just double & not quadruple vaccinated. By...
