    I Do Believe

    I shall wander up Canada-wards. The seasons at the Shaw Festival and Stratford look pretty good, and my lady is a big theatre fan. And now that the Twucktards have slunk off to wherever-the-hell they crawled out of. . . Maybe I can catch an Argos game.

    And thereby hangs a tale. . . Actually, a number of tales. And several Shakespeare plays.

    Queen Elizabeth

    Arguably second only to Charlemagne's crown in magnificence and significance. Or perhaps not even second.

    Poilievre unveils House of Commons leadership team that includes two LGBT MPs

    It looks like Poo-lover's following Nixon's old advice for relatively rightist parties: Run as far to the right as you can for the primary (leadership contest), then as fast to the center as you can for the general (the election). Nixon was a pragmatic politician, and he got some good stuff...

    Poilievre unveils House of Commons leadership team that includes two LGBT MPs

    I have little doubt they were specifically picked for their non-professional "qualifications." No big deal. Frankly, the whole notion that there's a set, defined list of quals for senior political positions is pretty stupid, usually just yet another whining complaint from the out party. The...

    Poilievre unveils House of Commons leadership team that includes two LGBT MPs

    Of course they should. And bawling about how you're really just a common man at heart should take a back seat to laying out your policies and plans in detail. Good luck with that.

    Trudeau Says New Spending Won’t Fuel Inflation. Scotiabank Disagrees.

    My point being, if you refuse to do anything that hits the poor the hardest, you'll have to refuse to do anything at all.

    Poilievre unveils House of Commons leadership team that includes two LGBT MPs

    And now is a time when politicians are being challenged on their racial/sexual bona fides. It's no more nor less valid than the days I was remembering when a body could hardly get a senior government position down here without being a veteran.

    Trudeau Says New Spending Won’t Fuel Inflation. Scotiabank Disagrees.

    It gets passed on to everybody. If you're going to say "But it hits the poor the hardest," I can only respond "Duh. Everything hits the poor the hardest."

    Trudeau Says New Spending Won’t Fuel Inflation. Scotiabank Disagrees.

    Any significant new spending fuels inflation. That's about as hard-and-fast a rule as economics has.

    Quebec MP quits Conservative caucus after Poilievre win, to sit as an independent

    Still, it is a fairly flashy suicide. And don't even tie up traffic on the bridge.

    The Great Reset

    History shows us that as "the millennium" approached (approx. 1000 CE) there was great kerfuffle throughout Christian Europe, c

    Almost all new jobs created during the pandemic were in the public sector, report finds.

    Y'all need to do what we do. We treat public employees so badly nobody'll take the jobs! Linky-dinky.
