    And this is why.

    Kids haven’t learned to have a ‘governor’ on their prejudices about any difference (whatever that difference happens to be, even if it’s an imagined difference), and some hadn’t developed empathy (and some never do even as adults). It comes to most at different ages & stages, but it’s ugly...

    B.C. First Nation signs multimillion-dollar deal with gas pipeline company

    Native politics and non-native politics both work on the same principle of who gets the most money. Nature of the beast. We just watched the last two federal elections in Canada won by giving away the most money…. Bribing the electorate with their own money. Crazy but true...

    B.C. First Nation signs multimillion-dollar deal with gas pipeline company

    The Wet’suwet’en First Nation has become a household name in recent months due to a faction of hereditary chiefs within the nation who oppose development of the Coastal GasLink pipeline. In a statement published by the National Post, the Gidimt’en Clan of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation didn’t...

    Gun Control is Completely Useless.

    I really don’t know how this works. I do see the city of Regina police force out on the highways enforcing traffic laws, but only when SGI (Saskatchewan government insurance, & the ONLY auto insurer in this province) decides and sponsors an enforcement blitz. When that happens if somebody...

    Gun Control is Completely Useless.

    I’ve no idea. Makes no sense to me, & the folks in Port Dover (including law enforcement there) sounded none to happy about it in the story above.

    Holly SHIT!! WTF is with these new Canadian Truck Drivers??!!!

    Farmers, or accountants, or small business owners, or computer programmers, etc… it's not cheap to get from the Asian sub-continent (liquidating all your assets to make them portable) to relocate across the globe, & that might be beyond the means of most simple farmers from that part of the globe.

    Inflation 1.7% higher then bank predicted

    I have no thesis. Just pointing things out as I see them, & personally I know I would be a whole lot more comfortable with Steven Harper running Canada at this point through Covid that I would be with our current PM. After the global ripples felt from the 2008/2009 Sub prime mortgage fiasco...

    Holly SHIT!! WTF is with these new Canadian Truck Drivers??!!!

    Unpopular opinion or not, my heart really goes out to a lot of these “New Canadian” truckers. Many come to Canada not planning on being Truckers at all. They get sponsored into Canada (escaping extreme overpopulation) thinking they’re arriving to continue their careers as accountants or...

    Inflation 1.7% higher then bank predicted

    Yep, & it wasn’t this high, ‘cuz we had a PM at the helm who was an economist. The inflation at that time came on the heels of the ‘08-‘09’ Fanny May/Freddy Mack subprime housing thing that rippled through the global economy….& our PM at the time steered us through and passed the keys to the new...

    And entering the ring from the Prairies: …& in Fahrenheit for those that think in imperial: I had a couple hundred pounds of snow in the box of my truck after the last storm (for traction), then parked in the garage last night (checking the fluids, etc…), & walked out to a small lake on the...

    Alec Baldwin fired shot that killed one, wounded another on film set

    This is a colt 45 revolver so would it not have a hammer that would have to strike the back of the cartridge? No strike means no bang right?? I’m the wrong person to be answering this question so I’m just throwing it out as a question

    Alec Baldwin fired shot that killed one, wounded another on film set

    “I didn’t pull the trigger!” Every time I read that, I’m mentally hearing a Weird Al parody of the Billy Joel song “I didn’t start the fire!”
