    “Wokeness” in Canada and elsewhere…

    No, had some generic allergy pills this morning so I’m good. Keeping the weeds down in the vacant lots around our place seems to help a lot. Just finished mowing our lawn, & the neighbours lawn to the north of that, & the neighbours lawn to the north of that, and 3/4 of the vacant commercial...

    Built & assembled are two different things, but I hear you. Doesn’t look like an inexpensive process, but I’m assuming (yeah, I know, ass/u/me) the cost may be comparable to conventional construction? We had one of those (about half the height of the one in the video) popped up in short order...

    BC Port Strike

    You can’t win the competition for global trade when you come in last – or in this case, second last. Canada, a country that relies on moving goods in and out of the country for more than two-thirds of its GDP, has just seen its largest port ranked to second-to-last in the recently released...

    “Wokeness” in Canada and elsewhere…

    My emotions were stirred in reading about the extremely sad death of Richard Bilkszto, the school principal who was bullied and humiliated by the leaders of a DEI training session and by the Toronto District School Board.

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Canada is apparently revelling in its status as the world’s most politically correct country. http://apple.news/AMjBS8cXXRwCMI0CLb89y_Q There are undoubtedly many Canadians who are embarrassed, as I am, by the amusement that the American and British media enjoy...

    Homeless Tent Cities in Canada

    Two fires broke out in tents as the deadline approached: one large and with visible flames, the other just smoke. Several police officers were stationed on the roof of city hall (???) as firefighters and volunteers fought the blazes. Other volunteers were helping camp members take down the...
