  1. Ron in Regina

    Rapporteur David Johnson, Eminent Canadian

    NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said he gave a “stern” warning to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to not use the lack of consensus from opposition parties as an excuse to delay or drop a public inquiry into foreign interference….or else the NDP would continue to prop up every decision the Liberal...

    Happy Canada Day!

    It was a beautiful day here too!! Couple hundred raindrops (huge raindrops) from a cloudless sky somehow…which was neat. Absolutely gorgeous!!! After my Girlfriend got back from the beach with the Grandkids last night, we watched a couple of movies out on the deck. Awesomeness….

    Rapporteur David Johnson, Eminent Canadian

    Singh said he has made it clear to Justin Trudeau that he can’t blame a lack of consensus (which the opposition parties actually have, and have stated consistently repeatedly, that they are all in for a Public Inquiry) among opposition leaders as an excuse to abandon a public inquiry, as he did...

    Happy Canada Day!

    Almost a guarantee a beautiful weather, or as close to a guarantee as you can get!!! Some exceptions, etc…Regina residents, then a community of 30,000 (in 1912) had festooned the city with 1,000 flags in preparation for Dominion Day (now called Canada Day). At about 4:50 pm local time, the...

    CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) & Bill C-18

    …&….From the outside looking in (BBC): Meta, owner of Facebook and Instagram, and Google say they will block local news from their platforms in Canada after the country became the latest jurisdiction to pass a law aimed at forcing tech giants to pay news providers for content. The law - which...

    Trudeau is good for comic relief occasionally when he’s not actively out to harm Canada intentionally or inadvertently. The eye sucks, but I’ve done worse with steel or wood chips. The eyeball compresses but it’s not happy when it does. It’ll be fine. Still haven’t taken the time to really dig...

    Did you ever try “China Pastry” back in Regina over by my place? 200 block Vic behind Lee’s? It’s good, but they are addictive. This is some of their variety, but not all. There’s a red bean bun that you would swear was a sweet dessert!!

    Thank you. I’m on the outside, but do find it interesting as it’s evolving. The three years of Covid really saw it explode as people had more time on their hands to make up weird stuff….& and not just on this topic either. I didn’t miss so much is a day of work during Covid so….I look at things...

    What's the Difference Between Frodo and Gollum?

    I’m not up on the Lord of the Rings. I’ve never read the books and I think I’ve seen one of the movies at one point. Maybe it was just a Trailer from one of the movies showing the High Points?? Your last couple sentences above, though, do some up most religions, as I understand them. Damn….

    Ok…if Gays & Lesbians are out of favour or flavour, maybe you can answer a question for me that I’m not even sure how to ask, but in the above rainbow flag sticker picture thing….what do the Blue & Green stripes represent? Smurfs & the Environment maybe? Does Smurf still mean the little blue...

    The “B” above isn’t Bi now, & the “G” above isn’t Gay either. ‘NB’ is Non-Binary, & ‘GD’ is Gender Diverse…& maybe “L” for Lesbian is like the Green Party in Parliamentary discussions as being a thing that exists but is pretty much irrelevant on this topic or in general? IT’s evolution (I...

    Here’s a weird one. From the outside, looking in I sort of suspected this for a while, and it’s just might be a CBC thing, so take it with a grain of salt… A new report from the representative for children and youth is calling on the provincial government to prioritize the protection of...

    Rapporteur David Johnson, Eminent Canadian

    Just making sure I understood correctly because it could’ve been any of Trudeau’s interchangeable cabinet members…but more nuanced was reference to Mr Singh…so kudos!

    CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) & Bill C-18

    I think, short term, in about six months, if you are Canadian, and you are looking to find Canadian news (and you’re not on an Apple-based platform), the answer will be “VPN Location Spoofing” so that you can make it seem like you’re somewhere else on the planet other than Canada…so you can at...

    Rapporteur David Johnson, Eminent Canadian

    By attached appendage, do you mean Jagmeet Singh (?) or some other Liberal Lamprey? Just curious. Does the Liberal/NDP government’s behaviour surrounding this issue pass the smell test? The NDP supports the Liberal party, regardless of what they do, including what they’re currently doing on...

    Muslim Brotherly Love via Torch light

    If it’s any consolation to you, the current Canadian government DOES support Hamas and the Palestinian authority against the ongoing conflict against Israel. Canada has reaffirmed its complicity in the murder of Israelis by renewing its aid to the Palestinians through the United Nations Relief...

    CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) & Bill C-18

    Not everyone is a news junky and on online forums to debate, so personally I do think a significant portion of the population does use social media for their news feeds, & google to inquire further about something that actually catches their attention. The thing that I find surprising is that...

    Rapporteur David Johnson, Eminent Canadian

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the government would need “full buy-in” by opposition parties to launch “any next process” (???) to look into foreign interference, but political insiders are suggesting Liberals cannot “play politics” as an excuse to escape a public inquiry. Speaking to...

    CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) & Bill C-18

    Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez says he was surprised (???) by Google's announcement that it will cease hosting links to Canadian news outlets. "Well, Meta, I always said it was complicated; Google we still have conversations as recent as this morning," Rodriguez told CTV's Power...
