There are always exceptions, but that’s generally not the rule of thumb. I had a former tenant who had been in Judo at that point for a couple of decades. His father was the coach for the provincial team for several decades, & this guy just grew up in that world. He (& his wife-type at the...

I’m not sure how it’s even possible to post a post without having a post and just a quote. That’s interesting and strange all by itself.

Happy Sunday! My tolerance level for hypocrisy was just low yesterday. I’ve had some food and a good nights sleep, & today is another day. Boiled down to basics, Israel (not Zionism) was attacked Oct 7th 2023, & Israel (not Zionism) fought back (with much restraint or that whole Gaza goat rodeo...

(….the shootdown underlines just how dangerous the Red Sea corridor has become over the ongoing attacks on shipping by the Iranian-backed Houthis despite U.S. and European military coalitions patrolling the area) I was thinking the same thing (from my uneducated peanut gallery). It sounded like...

Like Ronald Reagan. He is actually a pretty funny dude.

Somebody must have, & Elizabeth May of the green party is driving the ambulance (it must have a blow box). (I don’t know what the other half of the green party says about this)

Both of them? MP’s I mean (not two Green Parties). I watched a video of Lizzie May just this morning (she may or may not have been drinking already). She said a few things. It’s good to know she’s still alive, having a sign of life like that, or something like it. She was holding a copy of the...

If the Liberals can win this next election, I’ll look at your statement in a different light. Here’s the (from a week ago before the most recent Liberal Party implosion) current-ish regional breakdown of aggregate polls from last Sunday (15th).

Prove who or what wrong? A rose is a rose. A Jew is a Jew. A spade is a spade. An Israeli is an Israeli. The West Bank is on the West Bank of the Jordan River & is the chunk of ground formerly annexed by Jordan in 1948…thus the name West Bank. Is a cat a dog? Is a boy a girl? Is an apple an...

Weird that the term “West Bank” isn’t just used to describe that chunk of ground that Jordan annexed in 1948 that was on the West Bank of the Jordan River from the rest of Jordan. It is what it is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordanian_annexation_of_the_West_Bank The territory first emerged in...

Before climate science became politicized, warm periods were referred to by scientists as “climate optima” because, for almost all species on Earth, warmer is better than colder. The most dramatic advances in civilization took place during the last four warm periods—including our own. The...

Iran through its Houthi proxies aren’t a friend of Saudi Arabia’s. I hear you there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houthi%E2%80%93Saudi_Arabian_conflict (basically it’s like the Muslim Hatfields and Mcoys) (The BRICS are mentioned in the last couple minutes of the video above)

Well…most in the West (GVA excepted) still remembered Papa Trudeau, so they actually listened to what Jr Trudeau was saying. That might be what Dixie is sayin… The 2025 Canadian federal election will take place on or before (hopefully looong before) October 20, 2025, to elect members of the...

The surprise, swift collapse of Bashar Assad's regime in Syria has been met with cautious optimism by many in Iran, where those disillusioned with their own authoritarian Islamic clerical regime see parallels between their struggles and those of the Syrian people. For Iranians, Assad's fall is...

Surprise surprise….like back in the 70’s.

That they have. Knocking the hijab right off the Iranian rulers…figuratively speaking. http://www.ctvnews.ca/world/youtube-singer-arrested-in-iran-after-performing-an-online-concert-while-not-wearing-a-hijab-1.7146067...

I think they might be coming to realize it themselves as their proxies are withering. http://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0mv83m4z7vo TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran has paused the process of implementing a new, stricter law on women’s mandatory headscarf, or hijab, an official said — a bill that many...

I wonder what the Houthis think will happen next?

Trudeau just went through the motions of a shuffle that had become inevitable as his cabinet had more holes in it than a block of Swiss cheese. Then, something equally inevitable happened. As Trudeau presented a handful of joyous backbenchers as new ministers, far more had been left dangling. I...
