    Those fully vaxxed account for most of the new COVID cases in Quebec

    I’m too lazy to look up actual stats, but assuming that about 80% (?) of that population is fully vaccinated….with the numbers above….then those 80% vaccinated account for less than 60% of new cases, & the 20% of the population accounts for more than 40% of new cases. Just mathing is all...

    Seth Rogen tells B.C.'s young people to 'smoke weed and watch movies' instead of part

    Skipping rope is a skill and it’s awesome cardio!!! If anybody here is ever boxed, it takes the girly out of the whole concept of skipping rope.

    Liberals promise to control pandemic, fight climate change and rebuild economy in throne speech

    A federal Department of Industry briefing, obtained by Blacklocks’s Reporter last week, says e-cars are impractical in Canada. They can’t reliably handle our climate and distances. Besides, the infrastructure (like charging stations) does not exist (and will not exist for years) to make them...

    A refreshing change on the campaign trail — crystal clear answers from a politician

    The Commons ethics committee voted by 6-4 vote to reject a motion by Conservative MP John Brassard to “undertake a study into issues of conflict of interest and the Lobbying Act in relation to pandemic spending.” “It would just be stirring the pot,” said Liberal MP Greg Fergus, the Prime...

    Biden considering killing Line 5 pipeline, cutting crucial energy link to Eastern Canada

    Michigan has dropped a lawsuit in federal court that threatened Enbridge’s Line 5 pipeline — which carries about half of Ontario and Quebec’s petroleum. While it may seem like an early Christmas gift from Michigan’s Governor Gretchen Whitmer, it’s more likely she saw the writing on the wall...

    Unity & Equalization??

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said today that while he is "deeply" opposed to Bill 21, his government won't step into the legal challenge taking place in Quebec in order to avoid triggering a fight with the province over jurisdiction. "I think that it's important, in the first stages of the...

    Killer Tornadoes

    It’s a deterrent for sure. Digging a hole by hand more than about 3’ deep in Regina is more than a chore if you don’t know what you’re getting into before you start: http://leaderpost.com/news/local/the-real-dirt-on-regina-gumbo My basement is only a little over 4’ below the ground level (tall...

    B.C. First Nation signs multimillion-dollar deal with gas pipeline company

    Personally, I believe there’s a whole lot more mixing of genes than anyone admits to. There’s a reason why our testicles are much larger than a Gorillas (but smaller than a Chimpanzees).

    B.C. First Nation signs multimillion-dollar deal with gas pipeline company

    10,000 years ago, I’m assuming most of my ancestors where hunter/gathers running around what’s now Europe or walking from Europe to what’s now the British Isles doing whatever they had to do to help themselves & their tribes thrive & survive, but I understand your assumptions and the idea that...

    B.C. First Nation signs multimillion-dollar deal with gas pipeline company

    Weirdly, depending on one’s perspective, it doesn’t have to be a “Cherokee princess” but I believe, outside of cultural restraints, that humans are attracted to gene diversification (exotic features), so mixed blood being common isn’t that far fetched. It helps explain the prevalence of...

    Liberals promise to control pandemic, fight climate change and rebuild economy in throne speech

    This story is now antidotal as it’s about two years old, but the one guy I know well that owns a Tesla model three had to buy it in Calgary (City of about 1 million people) & Drive it home to Regina City of about 250,000 people). Calgary is the closest Tesla dealership to Regina Saskatchewan I...

    B.C. First Nation signs multimillion-dollar deal with gas pipeline company

    Up here is a Federal issue Treaty Card, but I’m assuming it’s the same concept. It’s a photo ID mostly used for tax purposes but it makes one “officially” native in the eyes of Gov’t, etc…

    Liberals promise to control pandemic, fight climate change and rebuild economy in throne speech

    Mandate to enforce EV Sales, during a supply chain goat rodeo, a pandemic, and a global microchip shortage? Yeah, why not….China would love it, & currently it’ll help Biden choke out the Canadian Auto Industry. Sounds about right for a Canadian Liberal MP. At least Guilbeualt isn’t the Finance...

    Liberals promise to control pandemic, fight climate change and rebuild economy in throne speech

    Then factor in the Canadian Climate that batteries (all Batteries) don’t enjoy. Every so often up here someone (who’s having battery issues usually) says “I’ve had the same battery for “x” years & never had a problem” but for the rest of us that rely on our vehicles starting every time, a car...
