    WE really need to get rid of this guy

    In the 90s the Reform/Alliance and the PCs were the same. They wound up merging. I can see the same happening with the Lieberals & NDP. In N years we will have a 2 party system + The Bloc if Quebec is still here.

    WE really need to get rid of this guy

    The Bloc won't have the power it has now in a new parliament. It won't let it fall. But when TrueDope needs something passed, he will have to bribe either the NDP or the Bloc. His position takes the NDP off the hook. They can vote for no-confidence and not look like hypocrites now. Or they can...

    Trudeau announces Amira Elghawaby as Canada's first representative to combat Islamophobia

    My great grandparents came in 1907 from Ukraine and got a parcel of land in SK. They came with my uncle who was 1 year old. My grandmother had not yet been born. My great-grandmother (my Babba) was still alive for my first 8 years. When my mom was orphaned when she was 6 she wound up being...

    2024 CFL Season

    The last 2 Argo visits to the dome were BC blowouts. This is revenge. Strange coaching from the BC side. I have actually seen a lot of strange coaching decisions in the CFL this year. Did someone steal all the coaches manuals?

    Election 2024

    I think you are thinking of Michigan. I don't recall seeing any truck max speed signs in Ohio. Michigan has min 55, trucks 65, max 70. Highways are horrible in MI.

    Election 2024

    I am totally surprised that a FOX News poll showed that TRUMP won. Shocking. Next you will tell me an MSNBC poll shows Harris as the winner.

    James Earl Jones has passed away at the age of 93.

    He made Darth Vader. Without him, Star Wars would not be what it was.

    Alberta protesters get 6 1/2-year sentences for roles in Coutts border blockade

    If it's pre-trial, they are held in prisons where the progression of time is altered to run at a much faster pace.

    2024 CFL Season

    Argos can't win on the road. I think it will come down to Toronto or Saskatchewan (crossover) for 3rd east spot. Ottawa and Montreal play each other twice more. If Ottawa sweeps and matches Montreal in wins for rest of season, they will win the division.

    Bureaucraps

    You either send it all in by mail and then they discover you are missing something, so they send it back and you start again after waiting 60 days or you book an appointment to drop all the stuff off and they verify and you get it in a shorter period of time.

    Mine was about 60 days including the time I had to wait to get an appointment. From what I have heard, I was extremely lucky.

    Just the Canadian Green Party Being Their Old Racist Selves

    In Ontario, the provincial government made transfers between systems free if you have the Presto card. The TTC is run by the city but they collect $0 at the presto machine and the provincial government pays them the fare. I assume BC could do the same and give money to the city in lieu of fare...

    I guess they are all busy doing the above which is why it takes so long to renew a passport.

    Two years into the Trudeau 2.0 Minority Term, which day will Justin call the election that only he wants?

    Google says: Lieberals 154 Conservatives 119 NDP 34 BQ 24 Green 2 Ind 3 Vacant 4 The vacants can't vote. One of the 154 is the speaker. If the NDP abstain 100% and all other opposition parties vote against, the government will lose 156-153. If the greens and independent's abstain, it will be a...

    Two years into the Trudeau 2.0 Minority Term, which day will Justin call the election that only he wants?

    What is the current seat breakdown? Does TrueDope need the NDP to vote yes or just their absence from parliament for the vote good enough to pass the confidence vote?
