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

    Seems like an even better idea to build two ice breakers given the melting polar ice cap. Projected to be in service by 2030 so add five or ten to that. Are they sure there will be ice to break? First one awarded quite a while ago has not even started construction. Nice but not needed. Will...

    Hyperinflation is coming...

    Banks are making record profits for the 50th year in a row... still hiked service fees last week. Can never have too much. No federal regulation is a beautiful way for the Government of Canada to look the other way and to let banks do whatever they want. Provincial regulators are a useless...

    RIP Gord Downie

    Sickens me to learn the Kielburgers put their slimy paws anywhere near it. Save a tree and buy the same plague twice. Thank you for correcting the story.

    What are you listening to right now?

    Lucked out and found a 1967 Clairtone floor model entertainment center at the second chance for $200. Mid century modern design cabinet made of real teak and walnut. Sounds unbelievable. Garrard 3000 turntable has 4 speeds including 16 rpm. Best tuner ever. Hugh Hefner had a Clairtone in the...

    Covid-19 Has Exposed Alberta as a Corrupt Society

    All support programs included Ontario can now top out at $4600 / month. Good reason to delay CPP.

    Julie "Bitch" Payette Resigns

    $350,000 annually plus perks for the rest of her life. She is only one among many and couldn't spend the money if she tried. And this is just the gravy after a career of glutinous abuse of power and entitlement. All this has happened in the last fifty years within a couple of generations. There...

    Tokyo Olympics

    "The Canadian Olympic Committee is a private, non-profit organization that represents Canada at the International Olympic Committee. It is also a member of the Pan American Sports Organization." Exclusive deal since 1904? Private corporation? Non profit but Dick Pound is a millionaire. He...

    Tokyo Olympics

    Women's trampoline in London. May have been a doping violation involved. I don't remember the name. We do have a shot at high jump. Tall guy from Sarnia area. Don't remember the name. Track and Field could do better at promoting their sport, which to me would be as good or better than the...

    Tokyo Olympics

    We have a good high jumper and are defending Ladies trampoline champs, so there is that. Costs a lot of money that adds to the deficit and interest though. Plus the body positive movement is kind of the opposite of what the Olympics idealizes. Could have short, fat people high jumping as long...

    RIP Gord Downie

    Dam October weather. He should have been good and a warmer jacket would have helped. Where were the trains? Did they pass by and not stop? Have not seen or heard the Secret Path. What you say about the details are no doubt true. What they were able to do is to raise an awareness of the event...

    New Zealand raises minimum wage to $20 an hour and raises taxes on the rich.

    Curious how much New Zealand politicians make. To someone making $200,000 like our politicians $20 is not a lot although it can easily become $50 in an overtime situation. For the person spending the money that adds up fast and reality is the employee needs to create value in excess of wages...

    Retired general Jonathan Vance thought he was 'untouchable,'

    Accepted behaviour, only sorry when they are caught. Vance would have known Russell Williams well.

    Ontario issues stay-at-home order except for essentials

    They could make more money if they made everyone wear a patch. Consistent recurring revenue stream. Book the profit through a foreign country and reduce tax. Everyone wins.
