Yes, & as a species we’ve survived, and thrived up to about 8 billion of us with adaptability as opposed to a “Precession Tax” to mitigate the effects of Precession, or where we talking about Global Warming Cooling Changiness still & the benefits of Canada hamstringing itself financially for...

I’ve flown the 152 (totally supervised!), so I get it. Canada doesn’t incentivize marriage with its tax laws. By getting married, one of us loses our personal exemption for income tax and becomes a dependent of the other which is a much smaller deduction. The difference in exemptions for taxes...

Yep, & we as humans are nothing if not adaptable. Hairless but (relatively) intelligent apes inhabiting six continents with a toehold on the seventh. We’ve (our ancestors anyway) lived through Continental glaciation and the warm periods between them, surviving and thriving not via carbon taxes...

Pretty heavy armament for the Egyptians to deal with Refugees on their border? Weird & interesting all by itself.

I “think” the plane at the beginning of the above Vid is a 172, & I’ve flown in the smaller 152…with a cockpit that is comparable to a 45 gallon drum laying on its side, for space. Well, a bit bigger than that, but it didn’t really feel like it with two guys shoulder to shoulder, and the outside...

‘08/‘09? We all remember that one regardless of the country we live in. Fanny May & Freddy Mack rippled economies well outside of the USA.

Federal Environment Minister Stephen Guilbeault, whose press secretary told the CBC: “We welcome the NDP’s bill to the House. Advertisement has a big role to play in public perception, and the industry is racking in record profits. We will carefully assess their bill and look forward to...

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is deeply concerned about Bell Media firing 4800 workers, including hundreds of journalists, in their latest round of layoffs and wishes someone would do something about the rampant unchecked greed of Canadian corporations. “I’m pretty pissed off about what’s just...

Army engineers took reporters for foreign news outlets through the passages at a time of crisis for UNRWA, which has launched an internal probe and seen a string of donor countries freeze funding over allegations last month by Israel that some of its staff doubled as Hamas operatives. UNRWA...

During an overseas visit aimed at quelling recent violence between the State of Israel and Hamas, President Joe Biden has suggested bringing the two sides together over a meal of barbecued ribs. “In the midst of such awful imagery coming out of the Holy Land, I thought it might help to bridge...

I thought I was still reading the Beaverton, but it was Al Jazeera, so the same but different. Iran has never sought war in the region, the country’s foreign minister has said on a visit to Lebanon to discuss Israel’s war on Gaza and its impact on regional security. “Iran and Lebanon confirm...

Across the United States conservative commentators have uncovered a plot by pop megastar Taylor Swift, along with her current boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, to trick unwitting American citizens into watching football games. “This conspiracy goes all the way to the top,” insisted...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election Michelle Obama as VP to Biden? Or Michelle Obama as Prez & Kamala Harris as VP for the Dems? Kamala Harris as Prez & Michele Obama as VP? How does this mix? Michelle Obama & Kamala Harris as Co-Prez’s & Joe Biden as VP...

You’re being kinda tough on her physically. She’s about the size of a lawn gnome so she probably has the ability to change shape dramatically depending on her last meal, etc…& that’s not a prerequisite for her role in government. Auditor-General Karen Hogan will deliver her much anticipated...

Tried a quick google & there was no clear obvious answer, so I thought I would just throw it out there to somebody who swims in that pool.

Concordia and Carleton universities have apparently cancelled speaking engagements featuring Sami Hamdi, a British political commentator, over his comments celebrating Hamas atrocities during the terror group’s Oct. 7 attacks on Israel. Bunch of Islamophobic’s with their Islamophobic...

Is this dude still banned from running in some states? Trump I mean?

This week, the NDP’s Charlie Angus tabled a private member’s bill that arguably ranks as one of the more illiberal pieces of legislation to ever hit the House of Commons order paper. The Fossil Fuel Advertising Act would prescribe jail time for anyone who “promotes” fossil fuels — even if their...

This is interesting from the Senior Digital Parliamentary Reporter. Didn’t even know that we had one but…there she is, & the fact that she’s the senior one implies that perhaps there’s more than one even!! Jagmeet Singh being questioned, & not mining words, or really saying anything either…but...
