    Ontario optometrists withdraw OHIP-covered services after breakdown in talks

    In Ontario, assuming you are over 19, none of that is refundable by the government. I think OHIP will pay $50 for a person under 19 to have a checkup once a year (or is it 2?). My guess is the difference between the $50 and the $95 is what they are grumbling about.

    US/Mexico border wide open

    When I crossed at the Peace Bridge in July, there were 2 cars with 1 booth open. The trucks were separate. They looked more normal. Same at Queenston/Lewiston in early August going to the states. There was a work to rule the other way and there was a huge line. But TrueDope caved after 1 day and...

    I got to travel beside the Liberal Campaign Bus Today

    It's actually corrupt OR stupid I think. If they are stupid, they are not smart enough to be corrupt. Count how many millions will vote for them this election and you know there is a big pool to choose from.

    Trudeau Liberals surge ahead over Conservatives

    Our current MP is unlikely to get my vote. The only time we hear from him is during an election call. Last election I emailed all the candidates on behalf of me and my son (his first election) and we got to do a phone call/interview with one and the other actually came to visit our house. The MP...

    Trudeau Liberals surge ahead over Conservatives

    I always make my decision on the walk to the polling booth. I sometimes have an idea but I use that last walk to clear my head and ponder and make the choice.

    Canada /US border closed..

    It is only closed to non-essential travel. If you are a trucker or an American citizen you can cross anytime. I've been down to the USA twice this summer by car since I am married to an American.

    Baby on Cover of Nirvana's Album "Nevermind" Suing

    His lawyers claim the dollar bill in the pic makes the baby look like a sex trade worker. All about $$$$$. What do you call 1000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A good start.

    Trudeau Is Going To Bury Us In Debt

    The Liberals don't work that way. If he loses, the sword will be waiting for him the day after,

    Trudeau Is Going To Bury Us In Debt

    The only good thing about a banana republic.

    Trudeau Is Going To Bury Us In Debt

    I would hope that is not allowed. That would sound like something that would happen in a banana republic not Canada.

    Trudeau can go, Election 2021

    Yes, the party is not united on opinion on any issue other than environment and i suspect they aren't that united there either. Suspect some have much more planned than others on how to punish people for using gas cars.

    Omnibus Afghanistan thread

    So they have evidence. They will report it to the OCTOBER session and write it up for next March. It's no wonder the UN is useless (not that they would do anything about it anyways).

    Trudeau's 4 years of Accomplishments

    It's the idea that all votes are equal. Yours, mine and the idiot down the street watching nothing but the CBC.

    Trudeau's 4 years of Accomplishments

    There are likey 100 guys making $40k and to every one making a billion (or more). Each is a vote. If you were pandering for votes, who do you target to raise taxes from the 1 guy or the 100?

    :!:Our dollar could be worth $0.70 by years end (or sooner)

    Thanx for resurecting this post. From the title I thought he was touting bad news.

    Trudeau's 4 years of Accomplishments

    That makes sense as the 33% of those millions they are making up adds up a lot faster than 17% of more people earning $40k/year.
