    James Earl Jones has passed away at the age of 93.

    He made Darth Vader. Without him, Star Wars would not be what it was.

    Alberta protesters get 6 1/2-year sentences for roles in Coutts border blockade

    If it's pre-trial, they are held in prisons where the progression of time is altered to run at a much faster pace.

    2024 CFL Season

    Argos can't win on the road. I think it will come down to Toronto or Saskatchewan (crossover) for 3rd east spot. Ottawa and Montreal play each other twice more. If Ottawa sweeps and matches Montreal in wins for rest of season, they will win the division.

    Bureaucraps

    You either send it all in by mail and then they discover you are missing something, so they send it back and you start again after waiting 60 days or you book an appointment to drop all the stuff off and they verify and you get it in a shorter period of time.

    Mine was about 60 days including the time I had to wait to get an appointment. From what I have heard, I was extremely lucky.

    Just the Canadian Green Party Being Their Old Racist Selves

    In Ontario, the provincial government made transfers between systems free if you have the Presto card. The TTC is run by the city but they collect $0 at the presto machine and the provincial government pays them the fare. I assume BC could do the same and give money to the city in lieu of fare...

    I guess they are all busy doing the above which is why it takes so long to renew a passport.

    Two years into the Trudeau 2.0 Minority Term, which day will Justin call the election that only he wants?

    Google says: Lieberals 154 Conservatives 119 NDP 34 BQ 24 Green 2 Ind 3 Vacant 4 The vacants can't vote. One of the 154 is the speaker. If the NDP abstain 100% and all other opposition parties vote against, the government will lose 156-153. If the greens and independent's abstain, it will be a...

    Two years into the Trudeau 2.0 Minority Term, which day will Justin call the election that only he wants?

    What is the current seat breakdown? Does TrueDope need the NDP to vote yes or just their absence from parliament for the vote good enough to pass the confidence vote?

    Two years into the Trudeau 2.0 Minority Term, which day will Justin call the election that only he wants?

    They don't have to. The Throne Speech is a confidence vote and will be the first vote of the session. I don't think TrueDope will go. And proroguing parliament would probably shave another 5% off their vote.

    2024 CFL Season

    I want to see Sask beat Winnipeg. I have never seen a fan base with more whiners than the Bombers. Anybody who sacks their QB are goons. Want the Argos to beat Ottawa. Make the 2nd place race interesting and put out any crossover talk now.

    WE really need to get rid of this guy

    Harper kept his minorities in power with fewer seats by using whichever party would help him on any particular legislation. It is possible if the PM stops thinking himself as glorious emperor and works with any 1 of the parties. Will Emperer TrueDope do that?

    It's "Entertainment!" Sort of. . .

    But at much lower dose I assume. 1 pill vs N drinks (depending on your body rate and tolerance).

    It's "Entertainment!" Sort of. . .

    Alcohol and THC are drugs. I think other drugs give you more of a kick. They can distort reality more and are therefore more appealing.

    Argos coach blew it. Punting with 2 minutes left down 3? Ticats suck and always will suck. I hope they lose all their remaining games. And Fuck the Blue Bombers too.
