    Alec Baldwin fired shot that killed one, wounded another on film set

    Given the budget of a movie and given the comparatively low/no cost of some of those measures it's so hard for someone like me to believe anyone could be that cheap when life and safety are at risk that my first instinct is to say "no, you must be wrong". But you're probably not.

    Alec Baldwin fired shot that killed one, wounded another on film set

    True. And given that the experts are saying that they DID recommend additional steps and weren't given the power to make that happen including firearms training he may have to wear that. I mean - ANY reasonable person should know that guns are dangerous and that on a movie set you're doing...

    News anchor Lisa LaFlamme 'shocked' after CTV replaces her with Omar Sachedina

    Well in fairness while there's something to be said about 'comforting familiarity' she was getting a little stale. And i often found her obligatory trite little stupid comment after each story annoying. Reporter - "10 starve to death in cave collapse!" Her- "most troubling. Ok, next story... "...

    Alec Baldwin fired shot that killed one, wounded another on film set

    I don't think ANYONE doubts it was an accident. He obviously did not intend to shoot that person and did not intend for the gun to go off, and almost certainly believed it was unloaded. But it is still negligent not to check the gun yourself and not rely on anyone else for that information...

    Putin boasts of Russian weapons prowess, says is ready to share it with allies (not actually a joke)

    That's got to be what hurts the most. How do you sell yourselves to potential allies in the middle east and elsewhere as being a superpower that can protect them and advance their interests when you're getting your clock cleaned in your own back yard by Ukraine of all people.

    Senator who endorsed Charest won’t apologize for comparing Poilievre to Putin

    I won't miss them. And of course they'll die except maybe for cbc radio. Get woke go broke,

    Putin boasts of Russian weapons prowess, says is ready to share it with allies (not actually a joke)

    Yeah - and the other classic mistake that's been made for centuries - fighting they way they did last war without realizing things have changed for this war. The tanks and tactics seem to be more ww2 inspired, they had no solid plan to deal with drones, precision artillery and hand held anti...

    Roe v. Wade overturned?

    Exactly. There will always be like minded people who have sympathy and who are willing to donate time and or money to help people and there you go. The hardest part would be making sure it's only people who really needed it that got the help, but that's not all that hard. If you did it in one...

    Unity & Equalization??

    Well in my experience you can rely on what i call the 3rd law of political motion - for every stupidity there is an equal and opposite stupidity. It just sometimes takes a bit.

    Roe v. Wade overturned?

    Well, if it's a concern then start a group to raise money for those who have to make that kind of trip and can't afford it. Shouldn't be too hard to raise cash on a go fund me, get a bunch of volunteers or the like as drivers, should be pretty easy to put together. I suspect 5 hours would be the...

    Almost final projections for the 2022 CPC leadership: Poilievre will be the next leader

    Oh they're magic beans all right, the problem for Jaggers is that trudeau scampered up the beanstalk before Jag could. It was a huge gift that Jagmeet planted but the liberals are using to get their way. I think Jagmeet has a problem with calling it early. He would have to admit he was an...

    Almost final projections for the 2022 CPC leadership: Poilievre will be the next leader

    Yeah but i thought with Brown out of the race charest might do a little better. I think we all suspected that Brown was full of crap about his support and that's mentioned in the rather impressive breakdown of this prediction but i thought SOME of it would transfer. It looks like very little if...

    One-third of Canadians changed travel plans due to airport delays: Poll

    Actually if half the rumours are true you could at least make a fair argument for trudeau back in his heyday :)

    https://www.tooclosetocall.ca/2022/08/almost-final-projections-for-2022-cpc.html Not shocking of course but i'm a little surprised that charest and leslyn are so close.

    Roe v. Wade overturned?

    Well they also get a lot more public attention. I spoke to one who said he just stopped for a break on a long trip and some jerk poet starts writing down everything he said. Just too creepy. Who does that?

    More than 10,000 Canadians received a medically-assisted death in 2021: report

    FBI Raids Former President Donald Trump’s Home

    Considering the number who convicted trump of 'russian collusion' with considerably less it shouldn't be TOO surprising ;) This is the effect of tribalism. It's reasonable to say there's sufficient evidence for an investigation into biden's activities and hunters and to perhaps say there's a...
