    Gun Control is Completely Useless.

    https://apple.news/ATKgh5tzjTZaoaPKn5eWKMQ When acquisitions fly from Federal Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino about Alberta (and now Saskatchewan and Manitoba, & it sounds like soon Ontario and British Columbia) "reckless," and is amounting it to "a political stunt" that won't hold up….he...

    Brooch containing Lord Nelson's hair sells for thousands

    Still creepy, but maybe that’s just me.

    Brooch containing Lord Nelson's hair sells for thousands

    OK, it just got a lot more creepy. Again, was this a normal or traditional practice at that point in British history?

    Religious exemption at Confession

    OK, never thought of that to be honest. I was thinking of….well…actual abuse.

    …& a tattoo gun for Harrylee’s Nephew! Sort of defeat the purpose if that was left on shore.

    Thank you, #Justinflation 🙄

    Good Question!! I’ve no idea, but I’m sure it wouldn’t have to be in the Quebec Legislature, but this is the Federal Parliamentary Clown Circus so who knows?

    Religious exemption at Confession

    Crazy. Here’s something from the above link (keep in mind this is from a Canadian site): Examples of professionals who can be fined include: Health care professionals, such as physicians, nurses, dentists, pharmacists and psychologists Teachers and school principals Child welfare workers...

    Indonesia: At least 125 dead in football stadium crush

    Jesus, is this a common enough issue that they have to have a rule like the following?: ‘Fifa, the world's governing football body, states that no "crowd control gas" should be carried or used by stewards or police at matches.’ It’s like saying, “crowds and law-enforcement at swimming meets...

    Brooch containing Lord Nelson's hair sells for thousands

    A brooch containing a lock of Lord Nelson's hair, given to an officer who fought alongside him….is/was that normal or traditional at that time? It sounds kind of Angelina Jolie/Billie Bong Thornton-ish in today‘s light. I’m not saying it’s creepy, but it’s kind of creepy. OK, it’s creepy.

    Ahhh….but with my chosen pronouns of “Captain (Ron)” or “Doctor (Ron)” I could have chartered you a boat to take your Nephew out past the 12 mile limit to get his tattoo, or just proscribed him a tattoo. Multiple solutions to the same problem!! Maybe I could’ve written a prescription for the...

    It’s a rule in parliament that you cannot address another member by name. Somebody has to follow the rules, so it might as well be the Official Opposition, ‘cuz who else will? You’ll notice that another MP doesn’t address Freeland directly as Chrystia or the Shrill Shrew, but as the “Right...

    What Emergency Act?

    The so-called (?) “freedom convoy” that blocked Parliament Hill and several Canada-U.S. border crossings may have dispersed earlier this year, but it won’t be leaving our political conversation anytime soon. At least, not if opponents of the federal Conservative Party and their new leader...

    As far as this shop teacher thing goes, it’s almost like it should have its own thread to be separated from the one it’s currently in, because (just my opinion) this seems to have nothing (or very little) to do with LGBTQ….etc….or even the Trans issue, as microscopic as it is….but a blowhard...

    Religious exemption at Confession

    This I know nothing about or almost nothing about…. but I think it’s something like more than half of US states exempt clergy from reporting crimes including child abuse from an obligation to report it. As far as a law goes that if you know about child abuse you have to report it….I assumed...

    Majority of Conservative voters support defunding the CBC — but not attacks on media

    Have to say it….we watch TV (Netflix & YouTube anyway) sporadically weather permitting also. Don’t really watch much of any TV stations except for times like the hurricanes that hit the Maritimes or in Florida in the last week….& then we had it on in the background….& it was the weather channel...

    Gun Control is Completely Useless.

    Section 6.1 of the Provincial Police Services Agreement states that, “The Provincial Minister will set the objectives, priorities and goals of the Provincial Police Service.” Meanwhile section 6.4 of the agreement states, “Nothing in this Agreement will be interpreted as limiting in any way the...

    Majority of Conservative voters support defunding the CBC — but not attacks on media

    Yeah, I’m tired & dyslexic both….& I read the date on the link above as 2021 and not 2012… Weird Question, but I think you stated that you don’t own a TV, right? But if you do (or did, or plan to, etc…), do you think you’d just turn on the TV & the CBC would pop up? I’m not sure if Rabbit Ears...
