    COVID-19 'Pandemic'

    Not going to dig up old posts or hold you to the garbage you were talking previously. I'm just glad to hear you discussing things a little more civilly now, it's nice to see you being a bit more balanced in your perspective. I appreciate your take above and agree with much of it. I still don't...

    COVID-19 'Pandemic'

    Wow, this is quite a dramatic about-face from someone who only a couple of short months ago was screeching on here that "people who don't believe in government, science, and vax should stay home, ride it out, and if they die....oh well...they deserve it." You seem to change the channel faster...

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

    It's the guns fault...always the guns fault when the political or social demographic doesn't fit. Just like the "SUV that slammed into the Wisconsin Parade and killed 5" last week. Crazy dangerous SUV's.

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

    Not sure what election results you were looking at, but 401 seemed pretty red to me. The only support base he's getting from the GTA is from Liberals who would love nothing more than to see him stay in power and take his party even further off course, flipping and flopping which ever way the...

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

    The problem is that what was once considered "moderate" or "center" not too long ago has now shifted hard left (taking over NDP policy), and what was considered "right" is now the center-left. This leaves no representation for traditional conservatives. Being from Alberta, surely you...

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

    If a leader is fearful of an objective review of their leadership by their peers, it's a pretty clear indication that they probably don't belong in that position. After unilaterally deciding to adopt key planks of the Liberal platform, it's unlikely Conservatives will ever win another election...

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

    The hypocrisy and irony in all of this is interesting. People are angry at Ms. Batters for "betraying" O'toole by calling for a leadership review, yet these same people can't see that this whole thing was caused by the betrayal by O'toole of his support base when he did a complete reversal on...

    Kyle Rittenhouse

    It's possible you may be mistaking people's admiration for a kid standing up against chaos and anarchy for the utter contempt most logical people feel for anarchists, and the disdain they have toward useless leftist governments championing the destruction of their own cities.

    Kyle Rittenhouse

    He was scrubbing graffiti off the walls and cleaning up the mess of rioters hours before the incident went down, not sure exactly what kind of trouble he was looking for. This is what happens when feckless leftist governments and hamstrung police leave the defending of cities from burning and...

    If you're just thinking of trying some visual astronomy, a decent pair of binoculars and a star chart or planetarium app will get you started. I just picked up a pair of 15x70 binoculars and they show jupiters moons and Saturn's rings. And you can also have a few beers while you're out there.

    Lol...not a bad job tbh!! It's actually pretty amazing what you can do with some basic equipment and a bit of time these days. This photo was taken from my backyard last month with a standard DSLR camera and 70-300mm kit lens. I did have it on a tracking mount so I could take 2 minute...

    I am Canadian

    I am a Canadian. I have worked hard and paid my taxes dutifully and faithfully for decades. I haven't broken any laws, but I can no longer go to work or claim EI benefits, can't go to a restaurant or movie theater, can't take my kid to swimming lessons or soccer, and in a week I will no...

    Auto Repair Shop Tried to Scam Me

    Possible the guy simply didn't know how to change a light bulb. I saw something similar a couple of weeks ago at the quick lube place, watched the shenanigans in the next bay over. The woman had a burned out bulb so the attendant changing the oil in her car asked her if she would like them...

    Colin Powell, 1st Black US Secretary of State, dies at 84 of COVID-19 complications

    Interesting. So... If you have comorbidities and are positive with covid at the time of death, it's considered a covid death... unless the person has been fully vaccinated, in which case it's a contributing and aggravating factor to the primary condition. ... And had an underlying condition...

    Captain Kirk to become oldest person in space

    “He’s boldly going where other people have gone before,” Takei told Page Six when asked his thoughts on Shatner’s flight. “He’s a guinea pig, 90 years old and it’s important to find out what happens… So 90 years old is going to show a great deal more on the wear and tear on the human body, so...
