    Rapporteur David Johnson, Eminent Canadian

    Yes, the O'Toole interview was damning for sure. How was it possible that the report was being "transcribed into French" when the investigation wasn't complete? I guess Johnson decided that alternative views weren't necessary. It's incredible how corrupt this government is. I would never have...

    Hmmm, I'm wondering if it was the Commodore Ballroom my g/f and I went to every Friday night. It had two different bands; one on the main floor and the other on the second. Neither music interfered with the other - and in thinking about it I don't know how that worked but it did. We'd go out...

    My friends and I went to The Cave in Vancouver where we saw Ike & Tina Turner in concert. RIP Tina

    Quit Picking on the Republicans

    I found the messaging encouraging,. Personal responsibility, hard work getting a good education (I know an oxymoron now) and a belief that one can achieve anything they wish to is very uplifting to me.

    Inflation

    Actually, my parents had gotten a divorce so we moved from N. Alberta to Edmonton. We didn't have a vehicle but my uncle had a VW bug & likely thought it was exactly what we needed - cheap & cheap to run.

    I don't recall that particular situation but I didn't live there very long. I moved to Vancouver in 1971 or 72 and moved to Calgary in 1974. My brother got married in Calgary and my husband was a best man and I was a bridesmaid. We got together after the wedding & eventually got married and ta...

    Inflation

    I got my first speeding ticket in my bug. It was all of $10 but when I was stopped & the cop said I was speeding (going 60 mph in a 50 if I remember correctly) and I started to laugh & said that I didn't think I could go that fast (it was downhill LOL). He was sitting at the bottom of the hill.

    Inflation

    Nope, it was pretty much basic. But I loved that car, even when 18 wheelers passed me on an uphill climb LOL. Had a ton of fun in it.

    Inflation

    My first car was a brand new 1968 volkswagon bug. I worked part time in grade 12 and earned .90 cents an hour. My grandparents put down the down payment on the car that was purchased for $2500 and I made the car payments, insurance & gas based on what I earned at the A&W I worked at. I also had...

    Calgary Stampede

    Are they filled with office workers or migrants? If it's the former, that's good. If it's the latter, not so much.

    Barclay & Thurlow - used to walk to work down Davy street which was quite the experience for sure! All kinds of interesting people, including some trans people who would be coming home after a night of who knows what. This was in the 70's and boy, was it a fun time.

    EXCLUSIVE: Leaked Pentagon Report Forensically Dismantled Fauci-Led Natural Origin Study

    I remember reading in the early stages of covid (March/April 2020) that European scientists stated that no matter how they manipulated this virus they could not see it coming from nature & that it was definitely manufactured. I believed it then & I believe it now. It was quite the lengthy report.
