  1. I liked Tim Conway and his humor, especially the ad-lib lines. RIP Tim Conway. We appreciated you.

  2. I didn’t care much for Tim Conway. I prefer comedians who can unite the country, for example the CBC’s This Hour has 22 Minutes.
    In the USKKKA, I like the calm soothing comedy of Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel and Saturday Night Live.

    1. Yes, Pat … the humor stylings of Smart-Alec Baldwin, and Robert mook Deniro… keep me in stitches. “Orange man bad” … ahhhh hahahah Ha Ha … so funny. So clever.

    2. Well….I wouldn’t give any one of those ignorant Leftist Scumbag Wankers the sweat off my balls.

      DJ Trump simply the Best President that country has EVER had.
      I work down there from time to time and I can tell you sonny, WORKING People are quite pleased.
      Trough Feeding parasites…?? not so much.

    3. PP,that was a facetious masterpiece. Only “uniter” you forgot was CBC superstar Rick Mercer!

  3. Elizabeth Warren turns down Faux News town hall invite and rips network as a ‘hate-for-profit racket’:

    https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/443579-warren-turns-down-fox-town-hall-invite-slams-network-as-hate-for-profit

    She’s correct. Did you see the Faux News town hall Bernie Sanders had? Martha McCallum, Bret Baier and Chris Wallace are far right extremists!

    I wish Elizabeth Warren the best. I would like to see her win as she became a success with no help, all the while suffering brutal racism for being a Native American.

    1. Just curious … “Pat” … which of the hundreds of “genders” do you identify as?

      Asking for a friend who wants to use the “correct” pronoun.

    2. 1/1,024 Indian? I didn’t flunk math like you but I’m guessing that’s less Indian than the average white American. Calling yourself an Indian when you have one Indian ancestor 10 generations back makes you nothing more than a liar.

    3. All the Buffalo Hunting, traipsing around with a travois and chewing and softening all those buffalo hides wore that poor woman out. Sweat Lodges and Sun Dances are hard on the complexion as well. Pounding Pemmican and Saturday night dog naming ceremonies. Dat one dere, dat’s Archie he looks like Archie Bunker, you know that white guy on tv. Born too loose, boy I love dat song. Elizabeth Warren speaks Trout I am told. One of the few authentic Native Languages still spoken by a few Native Eldurs.

    So basically if you quote documented cases of Ramadan murders by Ramadan ‘worshipers’ (they’re like Easter worshipers but with funny vests and stuff) you would be in trouble. If you’re white and even more so a white male who’s okay with gun ownership, personal liberty and freedom of speech and were raised with a Judeo-Christian ethic you are a hate-filled POS who needs to be silenced because the Religion of Peace is upon you.
    PM Ardern & Trudeau fear and loath a different opinion. They are the deciders. There is a picture of the two of them no doubt discussing how to limit speech that doesn’t support their narrative.

    1. If the local police show up at your door to discuss your opinion, provided you did not incite violence. Meet them outside your door, never invite them inside. As this is somehow implied consent for them to search your home. Meet them outside, video tape them and ask them if they have a warrant. If they say no, then ask them to please get off your property as they are now trespassing.

  5. Our little prince has a busy schedule today. He will be visiting tourist attractions like the Notre Dame church for great election photos. Great dinners and lots of wine to keep him happy And then of course the meeting with the socialist islamic prime minister of New Zealand, to rant about islamophobia and Nazis on the internet. The CBC has promised to cover every minute.

    1. Imagine the disappointment if a wolf knew it’s descendants would end up a pug. That must be how Justin’s ancestors felt when they saw him, mentally a pug.

    1. Ah those fun loving sons of the desert pedophile. A few bombs, a little gasoline and acid in the face. So much to teach Canadians who have no culture. The Liberals demand more of them be brought in to help you integrate into Multicult society.

      1. Canada is a dangerous place to be for a white Canadian. Freedom has long since been flushed and Bill Blair is a fascist of the first order. Only a fascist cop could support a bill that allows the police to enter your home and charge you with drinking in your own home. As I have said many times, Canadians are as dumb as a bag of rocks, as in STUPID. Will someone please prove me wrong…..

        1. An elementary school close to my home has a chain-link fence decorated with hand-painted wooden fishes and signs with messages for the children. One sign says BELIEVE. Not “think” or “learn,” but BELIEVE. The climate change dogma is the new religion.

  6. Bill C-69 would impose on Canada’s energy sector a goofy requirement that projects be judged according to “the intersection of sex and gender with other identity factors.”

    This will probably go down in history as the ultimate symbol of Liberal stupidity.

    1. The Liberals will also include the price of milk Max. One of your favorite topics. And people think this is just about Alberta and Pipelines. It is every project in Canada, no matter what its purpose will be.. They will have to consider Gender and even the price of milk at the local grocery. Complete Lunacy. https://calgaryherald.com/news/politics/david-staples-approval-of-new-pipelines-shouldnt-be-tied-to-the-price-of-milk/wcm/10b5d155-472c-40aa-8fcf-d961bdec4531

  7. Resisting temptation

    The servants of the lie don’t care what you say, so long as you don’t speak or stand by the truth:

    Israel Folau has broken his silence about his tattered football career, saying he refused the ‘temptation’ to play rugby again and likened Rugby Australia’s offer to that of the devil. The 30-year-old took to the stand of his congregation’s service in Sydney’s Kenthurst on Sunday morning, saying his latest controversy has ‘been really challenging’.

    He told The Truth of Jesus Christ church service that there had been several opportunities to save his $4 million Wallabies contract, but he ultimately refused the ‘temptation’ to take down his homophobic social media post.

    ‘The way Satan works is he offers you stuff that could look good to the eye and makes you feel comfortable, and if you follow that path all the worries and troubles will go away. (But) it is always the will of God that comes first.’

    Folau referenced his refusal to accept Rugby Australia’s recent compromise offer to save his career under the condition he deletes his homophobic Instagram post from April.
    This is a true man of principle. May God reward his faith and steadfastness. We are all subject to these temptations to sell out and submit in return for worldly riches. May we all have the strength and the courage to resist them.

    1. This seems to be the offensive comment: “I love and respect all people for who they are and their opinions. but personally, I will not support gay marriage.” Astonishing that he is attacked for this.

  8. Alabama is changing their abortion law. The only exception will be a serious health risk to the mother. Rape and incest derived pregnancies will not qualify for an abortion. If you lend a woman money for her to have an abortion out-of-state you could be charged with accessory to a murder.

    https://www.al.com/news/2019/05/alabama-abortion-ban-passes-overwhelmingly-with-no-changes.html

    Every republican voted yes – all males. All but 1 democrat voted against (1 abstained). Now it is up to a female Governor to bring in the new law.

    1. They can always call Dr. Feelgood. He has a suitcase full of rusty coat hangers and cheap whiskey. In this day and age, any woman that gets pregnant in my mind that is her problem. Pay for it yourself. Do not make the taxpayer pay for this if they do not want to participate. Tired of the fem/lib//Nazi self centered whining, if you can’t get your shit together in this day and age to use birth control tough shit. Figure it out yourself. Hire a plumber on your dime.

      1. LMAO….watcher, but I have to agree with ya.

        Abortion is not a right..its always been murder.
        If ya do get pregnant, there’ s Umpteen thousands of folks that would love to Adopt. So, dont wanna get prego..?? – the Pill, IUD’s or use both ffs.

        Theres never been a “need” to kill babies. PERIOD.

    2. Get back to me when the first woman is actually put down for murdering her son in the womb.

      If they were serious about enforcing this:

      1. Alabama women would be obliged to undergo monthly pregnancy tests at their own expense, in a doctor’s office, administered by a man, with results submitted to the state health department. Failure to comply or a positive test turning negative without explanation to be grounds for the issue of an arrest warrant.

      2. Any supposedly “spontaneous” abortion or miscarriage to be treated as a suspicious death. The mother to be arrested without delay if foul play cannot be ruled out after consulting with medical staff.

    3. So, perusing the comments around this topic, the pro-infanticide argument appears to boil down to one concise sentence:

      “self control is not an option, women cannot be expected to control themselves”.

      Too bad. I was looking forward to the amusement of when they finally decided to go full retard, and call sex a constitutional right, and nurses and such were going to start to be compelled to provide it to any and all men who self identified as not getting enough…

      Cause you know it’s coming for trannys who want your (__!__)… For pedos who want your children’s (_!_)…

      1. I had a horrible vision one day, an impression I got on the subject of gay rights, some 30 yrs ago when it juuuuuust started to poke its nose into mainstream.

        a judge, ORDERING some hapless naive shmuck to ‘consent’ to gay sex based on some ‘verbal agreement’ at a gay bar backed up by a dozen of the gay plaintiff’s witness partners.

        think it will never ever ever ever happen? what if the judgey-judge is a closet gay? what if the retraints are in the next room and request to appeal is immediately denied? what if ‘joe public’ thinks it is ‘correct’ to cite contract law in the case?

        et friggin CETERA.

      2. “self control is not an option, women cannot be expected to control themselves”.

        That right there is a keeper.
        Want to have it handy the next time the equal pay debate comes up. By that logic any jobs that require control means women are less qualified for and hence ineligible to be paid more for.

      3. muslims don’t have that problem, a pregnant muslim woman is pregnant because her husband willed it and she will deliver it. Hey, Canadian women , where are you on muslim women’s rights. Right, you don’t give a damn. Stop killing unborn children.

    4. A guarantee to a miserable life for a young girl is to have a child out of wedlock. It’s almost guaranteed. Should abortion be used as birth control? No – in a perfect world it shouldn’t.

      Pregnancy happens. Full stop. I’ll bet there are a lot on this very forum who were unplanned. If I had a 15yo daughter who told me she was pregnant we’d be having a very very serious discussion about the future……and I’d bet many on here would as well.

      I cant support 3rd trimester abortion any more than most of you.

      There’s an old saying in the horse business that goes like this, It’s not a colt until it stands and sucks.

      1. I could tell you a real life story that does not end with your scenario. But guess what, your first sentence tells me that you don’t give a damn.

        1. owg – there are exceptions to every rule but I think you would agree that having a child out of wedlock and having to raise it by yourself when you yourself are still a child is not a recipe for success. I doubt you would advise any child of yours to start out life this way.

          Life is messy. Things go wrong even with best intentions. Bringing a child into the world is a very serious undertaking.

          WTF is with captcha? 5 or 6 pages of verification? The site contaminated?

          1. Exceptions???

            My twn sister committed suicide two weeks after having an abortion.

            Yeah

            There are a lot of exceptions right old whit guy?

  9. The Trumpster pissed in the UN’s corn flakes again. The Global Warming Puffers of the Arctic Council are aghast with the US flexing its muscle in the Arctic in regards to statements by the US that their is no global warming happening, the US took a swipe at China, which has no say in the Arctic and of course Russia. The Arctic Council laments how things had been going so well, the Gummers and Blubber Eaters were all on board, with the Socialist Songsheet.
    The All Knowing Elders had given their blessing, even tho they have no idea in hell what is going on, especially in their Fake Unsustainable Welfare Nations but they always have Canned Stew and Bannock covered, which everyone feels guilted into eating. Ha Ha Ha what a shit show. Canned stew, Bannock and of course everyone’s favorite Throat Singing. The song is called Deep Blubber. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnGM0BlA95I
    and this big whine from the Arctic Council. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-05-14/washington-heats-its-cold-war-arctic

    1. Yeah and Ibbitson said in yesterday’s Globe that there is no evidence that Turdeau interfered in the Mark Norman Prosecution.

      Why a 60 page memo from Wernick to Turdeau? Why was the entire document redacted when given to the defence?

      1. Joe, I agree that the Globe’s John Ibbitson, like other G&M opinion writers, supports the federal Liberal party. He got heavily criticized in his column for stating that there was no government interference in the Norman case.

        Btw, the establishment media hasn’t done any investigative work in the Norman case, nor did they give it much publicity. The reason is that Mark Norman is a senior defence official, and our media cartel do not like our defence sector. The media played up the SNC Lavalin scandal, since JWR is an aboriginal woman.

      2. oh, not to fear, I got a copy of it here:
        █████████ █████████ █████████ █████████ █████████ █████████ █████████ █████████ ████ ██ █████████ █████████ █████████ ████ ███ ██ █████████ █████████ ██████████ ██ █████████ █████████ ███████ ███ ██ █████████ █████████ ███████

        lol!!!
        jeezuz MURPHY hurry up october.

    2. I too found it strange that the Apologist was not in the house for the Mark Norman apology. His cowardice/hypocracy knows no bounds.

      1. His handlers say he had a plane to catch.

        Uhm, it’s a government plane and it would wait for the Turd.

    1. In nearly 25 years, nobody has figured out how to make Salon profitable. It’ll be the perfect toy for a bored globalist or Chinese intelligence.

    2. “The left-leaning Web site was launched in San Francisco in 1995, staffed largely by refugees from a newspaper strike at the San Francisco Examiner. It went public in June 1999 valued at $107 million, but has lost money ever since.”

      It is “on-sale” for $5 million with the offer consisting of some cash and a $3.85 million “promissory note”. I suspect someone is tired of losing money.

  10. CBC reports that a B.C. cabinet minister is in trouble for sponsoring ten people from Pakistan that are on a “Watch List”. Gee, our vote whore politicians not only like terrorists but sponsor them.

  11. So JT is visiting the NZ primeminister will he dress up as a sheep?Maybe a ewe? who knows what could happen then.

    1. The NZ PM looks like she was weaned on a sour pickle. Very sour unhappy wee socialist. Maybe her Bull Dyke never washes the carrot or parsnip.

      1. Can’t find a carrot large enough to hit the sides of the cavity any longer. Did I say longer?

    1. Classic CTV deceptive poll. If I correctly answer that my opinion has remained the same, they are likely to try and put a pro-tax spin on the result.

      I remember another CTV poll in the first few months of JT’s government, the question was: Has JT lived up to your expectations?
      The accurate answer to that was yes, however my expectations were that he would be incompetent and an international embarrassment. Had I answered yes, it would have been spun as if I approved of the idiot.

      1. I used to have the most fun with telephone pollsters, census workers, and charity drives. Sometimes with the pollster’s I pretend they have called the local Chinese restaurant and put on my fake Chinese accent. I ask them. “You got passport? now they are confused. I say “You like Chickee Ball, Sweet Sour Chickee Balls” most say yes. Then I say “I trade you chickee ball for passport” now they are getting worried, this is were I press my case and call them rascist. And Fuk you you fuking guy. Census workers are a blast because they are too stupid to let go and walk away. They think they have the Canadian Rangers backing them up. And they can force you to comply. And what’s best is they keep calling back for more stress and punishment.
        ring ring Yah what do you want. Canada Census just a few questions. Make it fast I am pounding the old ladies ass uh uh uh.

        1. ah jeez that is funny.
          try this: in the olde dayes, the missus had a 2nd phone line put it so as to check up on the status of projects etc.
          ANY time a call came *in* on that line it was ALWAYS a telemarketer who would be greeted with (in a thick faux far eastern accent):
          “you will tell me who is it calling now”.
          “who is it that is calling?”

          I could *barely* keep from bursting out laughing.

          on the topic of telemarketers, try this:
          make the appointment for the duct cleaning.
          when the truck shows up, keep them waiting with a couple ‘be wit ya in a minit’.
          then follow up with a ‘ah jeez, Im gonna hafta postpone. and oh, by the way, tell WHOEVERTHEFCUKSENTYOU than Im gonna KEEP ON ‘postponing’ until
          they
          STOP
          calling
          me !! ‘
          got it yet??? STOP CALLING !!!!
          it took a while but I no longer get hounded by that one.

          1. Many ways for rotten old men to have fun. Glad I am not the only one with a twisted sense of humor. Or my favorite the Newfie accent. Jeezus Boy I get me hands on yah, I’ll Club Yah like a seal. Holy Mary Mother

          2. Twisted is right. I helped do a video on telemarketers at one point. It is a thankless job. Most people doing it absolutely hate it. They do it because they are desperate for a job. Some small communities have been able to open call centres to compensate for the loss of other jobs. It’s all that’s available. Why go out of your way to make these people even more miserable? Harassing small business people is also not particularly admirable. Have some compassion.

          3. I get calls from telemarketers who don’t even do their homework. I get offers to have my ducts cleaned, even though I live in an apartment. Some insist that there’s something wrong with my computer (my Windoze computer, even though most of my machines run FreeBSD) and they have the solution…. provided I give them my credit card number.

            Nobody’s forcing them to take those jobs. Remember what Harry Truman said: “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.” And, yes, I’ve been out of work and on the dole, so I’ve known tough times, but I also had my limits as to what I’d be willing to do in order to pay my bills and buy groceries.

          4. For Linda L. Maybe look on my humor as encouraging them to get a better job. Further what I do in my home on my phone is really of no concern for an old BIDDY like you. Go natter at your Local Liberal Assoc. Meeting. Leave your knitting needles at home tho.

  12. Just my long term opinion! Trump really doesn’t want/need a trade deal with China, the 25% (Tariffs) tax on China imports creates a positive economic environment for USA manufacturing… China will lose serious market share to USA consumers if they try to pass-through the tariffs… This is the ideal situation giving USA Manufacturing a boast & a competitive advantage…..

    The same long term advantage would be obtainable with the NO NAFTA option…..Tariffs level the competitive labor price difference….Manufacturing in Canada, or Mexico becomes less advantages to US firms, better to stay in the USA….More jobs and wealth

    Go Trump

    1. Damn it,Phillip don’t tell the Liberals that.
      I wanted to see if they could ever figure it out.
      What part of America First do they have the cognitive problem with?
      Unless we flush our parasitic overload or overlords, the only way to succeed in business, will be move to USA, or join them.

      We seem to always follow the US trends politically, must be sibling rivalry.
      As President Trump boots the state out of taxpayers pockets and encourages people to build wealth our Prime Minister,he’s prime all right, sticks more state in taxpayers way and practises the Canadian version of”You didn’t build that”.

      1. Increasing tariffs puts more money into the government coffers – hardly booting them out.

    2. Some disadvantages. First, when the other countries start playing the same game (tariffs) overall trade goes down. Second, tariffs make everything more expensive. Trump’s game only works when he is the only one playing it.

      Trade is supposed to be beneficial to both countries. You grow better fruits and vegetables so I buy your fruits and vegetables. I produce better grains, you buy my grains. With tariffs, you tax my grains, I tax your produce. It isn’t a long term solution.

      China is not playing a fair game when it comes to trade but there is no need to punish Canada and Mexico as well.

    3. You are right. Canadians have not got it yet but NAFTA is gone. Trumps Achilles Heel is Agriculture. The US Farmers are pissed, that plus the bad U weather for farmers.

    4. Yup the US does not have to play chinese trade war games. The president sh ould just impose the tariffs and when the chinese have a serious proposal, they can call.

  13. Timeless truth from H. L. Mencken (1918):

    “The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.”

      stooooopid c*nt, now yas gots an arrest record. see how THAT sits with the personkind on the other side of the job interview.
      I wonder if the cop was pro-choice. guess what, to the cop his *personal* view DOESNT MATTER.

      this is a win-win-win, flake gets arrested, cop chalks up another arrest,
      and pro-lifer gets the sign back intact.

    1. this just in, (justin?) her lawyers (who the FCUK is paying them?) backed down on the case.
      heh heh heh.
      wonder if it had anything to do with, by mclintoc’s logic, SHE should have paid cash
      for getting moved TO the ‘feeling’ lodge.

  15. ” I get offers to have my ducts cleaned, even though I live in an apartment.” How exactly are people supposed to know this from your telephone number? I think the problem is that many of these people would like to find another job — indeed probably a lot do eventually since it is not a pleasant job. But having to put up with nasty people on the other end just makes it even worse for anyone who is in the job. Geeze. Have you curmudgeons never been in a situation where you have a miserable job and would like to find something else? Have a bit of sympathy.

    1. Yah I have. Here is one that should please a Nattering Old Liberal like you.
      When I was 18 doing my apprenticeship, like all young males we would be out whoring around like tomcats and drinking every night if we had the money.
      When the Boss would find us young wretches hungover, he would send us in the hole.
      The plant had several buildings. This was years ago before everything was connected properly. In that building which was full of immigrant women making up boxes etc for shipping.
      The Ladies room sewage went straight to a lift pump station to be pumped up to the main sewer line.
      The Ladies being Ladies and also not speaking English or reading English signs would throw their used Kotex and Tampons down the toilet and plug the pump.
      Us young bastard’s would be sent in there hung over to clean the suction screens.
      And the Ladies thought that was hilarious entertainment. So did the Boss, he would always, always hang around to make sure he saw us puke our guts out, then he would say “If you can’t run with the big dogs stay on the damn porch” ha ha ha as he walked away. So yah I have done dirty jobs. If it was legal I would do it. But I got my revenge on the Laughing Ladies, one day I brought the bucket up and dumped on the floor in front of them.
      The evidence was laid before the court. Exhibit A. Exhibit B was the sign from the bathroom waved in their face.
      It worked the Ladies were very careful after that, they being Ladies did not like a public display of their situation and 2 or 3 young men laughing like hell at them as they cried out Santa Maria and crossing themselves.
      Never got sent in the hole again. Well you have a good one Nagger Linda.

      1. “and dumped on the floor in front of them.”
        ha ha ha !!!
        did ya make it look like an accident? always make it look accidental. always.
        and ya, see my earlier posting about goddamn telemarketers.
        book the appt if they are so goddamn insistent, then cancel after the truck sits in your driveway a good 15 minutes. apologize profusely and then cap it off with a warning yer gonna do it every goddamn time they call.
        works for me !!! and I dont even live in an apt !!!

        1. Oh heck no, not accidental it was an Academy Award performance. With a great flourish, of course we did have to clean it all up again. But the point was clearly made. Sometimes when my wife calls me an asshole. I pause for a minute as if I am pondering, then say. Yah, yah I can see your point. A journeyman asshole.

    2. How exactly are people supposed to know this from your telephone number?

      They work for a call centre. They can look up my address. It’s simple enough to figure out that I live in an apartment. OK, so maybe the callers themselves won’t be doing it, but whoever provides them with the phone numbers should.

      Like I said in my earlier comment, nobody’s forcing them to take those jobs. Remember what Harry Truman said…. And don’t forget: “A lack of planning on your part doesn’t constitute an emergency on mine.”

  16. President Trump going after Media Censorship. He has a site set up to gather complaints against media for censoring peoples opinions and views. Big difference from the Fascists in NZ and Canada. If Trump wins it could affect these Fascists all around the world. Maybe an Executive Order is coming to prosecute under the 1st Amendment. Could be big. PC is really Neuro Linguistic Programming. Mind control. Control the speech, alter the thought process, control the sheep.
    https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-05-15/white-house-rolls-out-website-report-silicon-valley-censorship

  17. President trump pisses on the Globalists backs again and tells them it is raining.
    He refuses to sign onto the Globalist Pact to Restrict Free Speech on the Internet disguised as fighting extremism. . Says that Free and Open Speech is the only way to confront extremism. In fact he is going after FB, Twitter and media on restricting and limiting the 1st Amendment instead. Gotta love the guy. Kicking ass. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-05-15/white-house-wont-sign-global-pact-combat-extremism-due-1st-amendment-concerns

  18. Donald Trump grants Conrad Black a full pardon. They have an old friendship.

    Ezra Levant interviews Conrad Black on his recent book “The Canadian Manifesto”
    https://www.therebel.media/full-interview-ezra-levant-conrad-black-new-book-the-canadian-manifesto

    It’s only 266 pages! Ezra gets a bit stuck on his own topics, but you get a glimpse of a future Canada that can be a source of good leadership for the world. Black seems to think that you can change Government by throwing out the old one. He does advocate a complete
    revitalization of Education with merit as a guiding principle for teachers and students. (good luck with the Unions) I believe this is a man who laughs at obstacles.

    A serious historian and scholar, Conrad Black seems to sweep a Marxist century of propaganda and loss of liberty to the side. But I haven’t read the book. Even if I read it, I still won’t have Conrad’s big brain or his years of leadership and business experience. Imagine trying to debate him on any subject?

    1. Black like most pundits is wrong as often as he is right. You think you couldn’t debate his logic on SNC-L? The arse is outa her as the downhomers might say of his position.

      He is an eloquent wordsmith and a knowledgeable historian who I enjoy reading but his opinions are just that, his opinions. There are others equally valid.

      1. Right you are. He is an excellent writer. For example, his opinion regarding the Press and others: he said, on September 2, 2017, in a piece in the Post, that they were the: ” jackal media and its witless Canadian echo chamber.” Ha, hah! I like that one!

        When I read Peter C Newman’s “The Canadian Establishment” Volume one, published in ~1976, I believe it was here that I found out that this Montrealer was a crafty businessman, his acquisitions were legendary. It was very scandalous that he was later jailed in the USA, and it was very humbling for him. That said I haven’t head all his stuff, perhaps in the near future. Would like to learn more about his time in the can.
