    2023 Women's World Cup Final

    This seems to be the rally cry of the British teams (when they don't score on their own goal at least) -- it must be the refs.

    You are thinking of massage therapy.

    Physiotherapy - WTF?

    My physio actually works on my body as well as giving me exercises. Get a different physio.

    ‘Hullo’ to new passenger fast-ferry service between Nanaimo and Vancouver

    They tried a fast ferry between Toronto and Rochester. But they priced it so high, it failed. Never underestimate the cheapness of the customer and how much they are willing to endure some inconvenience/time if it saves them a buck or 2.

    April Fools!! Here's your Carbon Tax F#ckers!!!

    McGuinty/Wynn did the same for Ontario and shutdown Ontario coal plants. We then had to import power at greater cost from Wisconsin (which produced that power using coal fired plants with less regulations than those in Ontario) but that was somehow greener.

    2SLGBTQQIA+

    Actually, if he was 20 and the minor was 16, while technically still illegal, it isn't quite the same magnitude of an infraction as a 35 year old and a 16 year old or a 20 year old and a 9 year old.

    April Fools!! Here's your Carbon Tax F#ckers!!!

    If the CO2 is captured it really can't go in the air can it? Not sure who would be smelling the smoke. But the only alternative to coal for a flat province for a reliable power backbone is nuclear. Wind and solar are good surge backups in most places (SK gets little sun in the winter). I think...

    April Fools!! Here's your Carbon Tax F#ckers!!!

    The it will cost more now to save later sounds like the insurance companies. Governments pass a whole bunch of laws protecting insurance companies from big settlements and the government always says premiums will go down. Yet the premiums go up and the insurance companies get rich. This sounds...

    “Wokeness” in Canada and elsewhere…

    It's all relative. If you have opinions which are far left of centre, that seems normal to you. Even a centered balanced position can seem like right wing ignorance.

    Rapporteur David Johnson, Eminent Canadian

    There is no reason for any sane person to take this job. No matter what you find your credibility would be shot.

    Rapporteur David Johnson, Eminent Canadian

    Had you said you would support the Liberal position for a higher stipend you would have been an ideal candidate. The last thing this government wants is a neutral overseer.

    “Wokeness” in Canada and elsewhere…

    More wokeness. Definition by example. I suspect John A MacDonald road would still be acceptable to the post office as no federal law has passed changing the postal address.

    If woke needed a definition, this is it.

    WE really need to get rid of this guy

    Looks like Justin's wife agrees with us, it is time to get rid of this guy. Saw and alert that she is separating from him.

    “Wokeness” in Canada and elsewhere…

    I haven't heard the term 'woke' or 'wokeness' at all before 3-4 years ago tops. If a definition existed before then, it was unknown to me. The phenomenon that it defines is definitely within the last 5 years. And I need to go back and read Dex's response. The forum seemed to skip me to page 2...

    “Wokeness” in Canada and elsewhere…

    I wouldn't call "racism is wrong" wokeness. Wokeness to me is the extreme where every little word said by anybody at any time must be edited or sanctured based upon today's standards (and not the common sense standard like "racism is wrong" but more extreme that everybody who is white must be...
