    Humboldt Broncos bus crash

    The only things permanent are death and taxes. Unless you believe in zombies.

    Humboldt Broncos bus crash

    I thought he was a landed immigrant. If he is a citizen then how can they deport?

    Not With a Bang but a Whimper. . .

    He should have used a credit card like the criminals on Forensic Files.

    Humboldt Broncos bus crash

    He pleaded guilty to charges greater than motor vehicle violations. Therefore, in they eyes of the law he is guilty. Since he doesn't hold citizenship this pretty much triggers deportation. It may not be fair but since when is the law ever fair?

    Omnibus: Conservative Leadership Race

    Most likely. But I doubt he would get the support of the Tory party. They are in a catch-22 scenario. They want to be right leaning but they can't win with that leader. Harper was successful because he was able to virtually ignore the social conservatives in his party. Nobody since has been able...

    Omnibus: Conservative Leadership Race

    The reality is that anything right of Liberal Lite will not get elected in Ontario. And without significant seats in Ontario, you can't form a government.

    He could be saying that is justice.

    Omnibus : Gas prices, Oil prices, Embargos

    I am sure the information is available as part of the freedom of information act but I don't have the patience to navigate the bureaucracy to get it (the irony). But I think 60% is a bit high. I recall 35-40% of the budget is servicing the debt and that wouldn't leave much for actual purchases...

    It was first thing in the morning. I completely misread. My bad.

    Omnibus : Gas prices, Oil prices, Embargos

    Excise taxes are flat rate. GST/PST/HST are % on the price per litre. Not sure which model carbon taxes use.

    Biden 2024 Gets a Bounce After State of the Union Speech

    I think you could devise a scenario where 34% of vote got enough electors in the college to win the presidency. Unlikely but possible. Just depends where those 34% of the voters are.

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    My only question is why would anyone vacation in Delaware?

    Omnibus : Gas prices, Oil prices, Embargos

    I think the sad part is the more the price goes up, the more $$ TrueDope gets. I think it is % not flat rate. Also HST/GST/PST all are % as well. Cash cow. I filled up @ 1.54 right before this last hike. Still near full.

    Conservatives demanding O'Toole resign again

    They were released to the media, he resigned as leader of PCs in Ontario then the allegations fizzled and no charges were ever laid. It looked like a targeted smear attack and who knows if there was ever any wrongdoing.

    Omnibus : Gas prices, Oil prices, Embargos

    $1.72ish in the centre of the universe. But going up 13 cents tonight.
