    Gun Control is Completely Useless.

    No idea, but if you’re talking about that shooter in New York City, & by the time you have words engraved on shell casings with a message on them….?…. I don’t know. The NYPD is investigating the possible message — which appears to include the words “deny,” “depose” and “defend” — engraved on...

    Rapporteur David Johnson, Eminent Canadian

    Some? Really? And if they could do it now, they could’ve done it years ago…. Ok. Sure. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will receive a briefing on national security matters from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service — without being required to obtain special clearance that he has...

    Gun Control is Completely Useless.

    I’ve seen the ads and watched the YouTube video. It looks interesting, but…. We have such weird rules in Canada…. That I would do some homework before you bought one. We can’t own a firearm if it’s personal defence, and you can’t own pepper spray if it’s designed to be used on humans…& this...

    Guilt? Really? No. Not even in the right postal code. I don’t even get where that comes from.

    Refugee/Migrant Crisis

    This is a rule for Canada? Seriously? Who made this a rule? Under whose watch? The federal government faced calls Friday to scrap a rule that allows migrants entering Canada clandestinely to claim asylum if they evade the authorities for two weeks, with opposition MPs saying asylum claims...

    You asked, & I answered. We’re both here debating in this thread. You asked. I answered, honestly. Anyway Syrian rebels were closing in on Homs after seizing two other major cities in a lightning offensive that has reignited the civil war after more than a decade and thrown the future of...

    Canada Post Strike

    It’s a profitable government enterprise, so why not? Or is this one of those 2015-ish things? In time to threaten for….Easter? The critical Easter mailing season? St Patrick’s Day? Pretty sure it wasn’t ‘cuz Remembrance Day happens in November. Yep.

    Well, today is the Liberal/NDP Non-Coalition Coalition Budget Day!

    Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland says she will deliver a fall economic statement sometime this year as the clock ticks down on the remaining days in the House of Commons for 2024. Freeland, who is also the Liberal government’s deputy prime minister, made the pledge in Toronto “after...

    You mean those Jews, in Israel? Those Zionists? I see them as the outnumbered underdogs fighting for their survival in a shitty neighbourhood, so I guess I have empathy on that front. Maybe because the religion isn’t the motivation. Watching the GoPro & Cell Video from Hamas (& Friends...

    Canada Post Strike

    If UPS & other couriers had 6-12 months to plan for a controlled growth, they might be able to replace the package division of Canada Post….but it is what it is. It’s why Canada Post strikes at Christmas, & Teachers strike at the most inconvenient time for students, etc…

    Gun Control is Completely Useless.

    On Thursday, the eve of the anniversary of the École Polytechnique massacre in 1989, the federal government announced it was banning scores of new kinds of firearms. The government did not immediately have available for media a list of those firearms. And at first blush this might seem like an...

    Canada Post Strike

    My girlfriend spent 20 years with Canada Post. She says this: The workers work like dogs. Especially the ones in the plants. There’s way way way way too many supervisors. It’s very management top heavy.

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (=HTS in acronym speak). Believe it or not they are an Islamist group, & I believe they are supported by the Mormons, & perhaps the Jehovah witnesses. HTS was set up under a different name, Jabhat al-Nusra, in 2011 as a direct affiliate of Al Qaeda at the time...

    Well, today is the Liberal/NDP Non-Coalition Coalition Budget Day!

    With the fate of the federal government's promised $250 cheques for 18.7 million workers hanging in the balance, the NDP have forced a debate today on a motion pushing for the prime minister to expand eligibility. After pulling his support from the measure upon discovering the government didn't...

    Canada Post Strike

    Purolator and UPS have paused shipments from some courier companies as they try to work through a deluge of deliveries brought on by the Canada Post strike. Purolator said in an email that severe weather and a surge in package volumes prompted it to freeze service for some partners, citing the...

    Well, today is the Liberal/NDP Non-Coalition Coalition Budget Day!

    As the days get darker, colder and snowier, Canada’s fall fiscal calendar has a significant event missing from it. All the provinces released their fiscal updates, sticking with the established timing of refreshing their finances in the fall, but the federal Liberal government has been so silent...
