    The Rock is supposedly Samoan and Black Nova Scotian? Shakira being Lebanese & Columbian? Then there’s Jason Mamoa or Halle Barry or Tommy Chong or Lenny Kravitz or Barak Obama or Keanu Reeves or scores of others, extremely talented or successful, that without a program or self-declaration you’d...

    Anyway, I really haven’t been following this trial (life & time constraints) but the thread evolving from it is quite polarizing which is interesting in itself.

    We’re all mixed in some way or another (most of us I’m assuming anyway). Isn’t it interesting that some of the most strikingly beautiful or talented people have a racial makeup that sounds like someone blindfolded was throwing darts at a map?

    Conservative senator pushes for review of O'Toole's leadership

    Wow….Erin O’Toole is sounding more like Justin Trudeau every day with these “Sunny Dayz” ‘My way or the Highway’ announcements….sad.

    Old Man winter has arrived

    I’ve no idea….& I have got another couple years in me of being able to deal with this with a shovel before I have to figure out where I can keep a snowblower. Ideally, with other peoples stuff out’a my way, I’d be parking two vehicles in our garage, & that’s without juggling a snowblower too.

    Old Man winter has arrived

    Yeah. Got home from work and started at the city sidewalk out front, and worked my way back east through the yard and then through the garage to shovel to the alley. This was really the beginning. I like this a little bit less every year….

    This blizzard is over & last night was the shovel out. Good times.

    Conservative senator pushes for review of O'Toole's leadership

    And yet, two consecutive federal elections, the conservatives got the popular vote (heavy turn out in the West & but lost out in seat counts in the east). Senator Denise Batters (I looked) is 51 years old so….now she sits as an independent senator for the next 24 years and then she can retire...

    Old Man winter has arrived

    Dug our way to the trucks. Dug out the trucks & filled my box with snow for more weight, & stomped down a runway on our side of the street. Going to be an interesting commute.

    Old Man winter has arrived

    We got a bit of a Prairie blow going on. Started yesterday about noon & is still going on. Rain, then mixed, then wind on top of that with more snow. Still going on.

    Canada is banning Internal Combustion Engines, but what about cold weather?

    COP26, supposedly humanity’s “last best chance,” struggled to yield even faint hope of keeping temperatures from rising 2 C, let alone 1.5 C. Even so, egged on by catastrophists and the mainstream media, Canadian politicians are adopting increasingly damaging climate policies. Should we be...

    Alberta is on the verge of another boom — will it be more sustainable this time around?

    Full disclosure: I believe climate change is real and humans contribute to it. But that statement only displays my personal virtue. It does not measure how serious the problem is, nor does it suggest the actions or the costs required to solve it. But these latter details are really the only...

    Panic buying in China

    Just as Eisenhower gathered his Canadian and Mexican counterparts while the Soviet Union was flexing its muscles in the 1950s, Biden is hosting this year's summit as the Western world grows increasingly concerned about China. Biden will speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping before Trudeau and...

    A refreshing change on the campaign trail — crystal clear answers from a politician

    Trudeau’s idea of, for example, disinformation could simply be news that he wishes hadn’t been published. Remember this doozy of a line the PM uttered back in 2019: “The allegations in the Globe story are false. Neither the current nor the previous attorney general was ever directed by me or by...

    Rex Murphy: Conservatives Are Gutless

    The pendulum will undoubtedly swing the other way at some point. Unchecked government spending will eventually affect our credit score, making it more costly to borrow money. High taxes and an official vendetta against Canadian resources will put people out of work and scare away investors...

    Unity & Equalization??

    Here are some points of order for those who wish to maintain the vitality of “Quebec Inc.” Montreal has cultivated an image as a community of francophones, anglophones, and allophones, each with equal status. Occasionally, as now, that image is revealed as a myth. Air Canada is not the...

    Yeah but, wouldn’t the EU want Quebec to have a common language with it? 😁 ?

    Lest We Forget

    I know this sounded familiar. This is a book from about 40 years ago: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Probe! Now that knowledge of the treaty has once again emerged, the President of the United States orders NUMA and Dirk Pitt to attempt to recover the copies of the treaty, which have both...
