    1. Same shit here Roadog.

      Was at Costco Yesterday: $1.729/Litre for Diesel.
      3.73L per US Gal = 6.45 CAD or $ 4.97 USD

      Elsewhere in Calgary significantly higher… Filled up my 100Litre Slip tank…to when it hit 160.00…mostly full. Wont use it till and if we even get a summer out west here…not looking so good so far.

  2. Zelensky is heading off to Davos to get instructions from his masters.
    Hopefully, Rebel’s gang, preferable Avi, will corner him and ask him what his relationship with the WEF is.

    2. Ian…

      I buy this.
      A cpl months ago Nathanial Rothschilds came out and stated that if Ukraine was lost, that would spell the end of the WEF, their great Reset & Agenda 2030….interestingly enough this fits in perfectly with the LOCKSTEP document …no.? of a More LETHAL Virus to be let out in due time in 2023..??

      What better place to create it than 7000 miles away from Western prying eyes.

  7. More FWIW

      I don’t think that “W” word means what you think it means…

      “Finland and Sweden formally submitted their bids for NATO membership
      on Wednesday morning, casting aside decades of strategic neutrality to
      embrace the military alliance in a stunningly swift transformation prompted
      by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.”

      Now, does Vlad lose his shit and start WWIII?

      *

      1. Nope.
        Why would Vlad lose his ” shit ” and start WW3 when the Western Countries are destroying themselves internally, thank-you very much.
        All he has to worry about after it’s all said and done , is the Religion of Pieces picking up and continuing the fight.
        When an enemy makes mistakes don’t help them , let them continue.

      1. Surely that’s a typo, you mean PDP-8? I’m pretty sure there must have been a PDP-1 to 7 but I never saw those

          1. I believe that ’11s were on the market about 40 years ago, as were several other minicomputers from different manufacturers.

            In the early 1980s, I did some programming on a Data General Eclipse and, a few years later, I worked on a VAX, which is the 32-bit version of the PDP-11.

            I didn’t keep track of those machines as that was when the original IBM PCs and Apple IIs were getting everyone’s attention.

        1. My experience with the 360 was limited to the batch processing jobs I submitted as an undergrad student as part of some courses I took.

          When the University of Alberta replaced it with an Amdahl, the turnaround time dropped by 90%. Yeah, that’s how fast it was back then.

    3. Ah, the old DECSYSTEM-20, running the TOPS-20 operating system. I remember them well. U Leth had 2, “DECster” & “Prairie Oyster”. The former was dedicated to student work, the latter, research. You’d terminal emulate with the old, crappy VT100 terminals (horrible keyboard, bad green CRT’s) or the better VT220’s (great keyboard, better orange CRT’s). CompSci majors could use the standalone (oooo/ahhhh) DEC Pro350’s. I have a working Pro350 in storage, along w/ a ton of software. Anybody wanna buy it? $20/ton. They also had a couple VAX 11/780’s reserved for research.

      1. DB

        $ 20/ton….LOLOLOL.

        I hear that….I graduated in ’86 from SAIT. (Mature student at 36 – Engineering Tech)
        My partner and I were the only ones who used a computer to do their final course ending “report”. If memory serves me correct it was possibly an 8086 Compact using 6″ floppys… Word Star & a Dot matrix printer. Pretty sure it was all DOS based as well.

        As part of our 2 yr course requirements we had to purchase a SHARP PC 1401 Scientific Calculator. A very slick little device where one could actually write code to run BASIC. Fully Qwerty, Numeric & Trig function Keyboard ….. Was very useful in some of the Math Engineering classes. Strength of Materials etc

        But Like any program one writes: Garbage in Garbage out…
        Still have it… Still works perfectly fine.

        1. Dot matrix printer. My very first English 1900 assignment I printed up a text file on a DEC line printer. Output was horrible, but faster & more accurate than me hunting & pecking on a typewriter. My prof made some comments to that end & I bought some time & paper for the fancy new laser printer. Next assignment came out looking, well, professional!

          Dad bought me a decent programmable scientific calculator when I returned to high school (lots more to that story). Went to Radio Shack, spent $50 (lot of money back in those days) used it to finish off grade 12 & for university. Was his personal gift, meant a lot to me. Still have it.

          1. DB

            Nice..!!

            Yea, I got tired of using white-out when doing reports on my old Underwood…. As I’m sure you can relate to…the old vials,with a brush type.

            Old tech…that I learned to type on and even used in the forces – “Com Research”. (ELint) typing out 5 letter groups from Morse code. First I ever heard that Russian language had 4-5 extra characters..! Bar H, O, I, E…1972

      2. I’m sure if you advertised your Pro350 for sale, someone would be interested not only in buying it but getting it running again. I read lots of articles about people who like to tinker with vintage computer equipment to figure out what made them tick but also to reactivate them. (I sold my parents’ Grundig console stereo to someone who does that sort of thing. He told me that, at the same time, he was in the process of restoring an old video game machine.)

        Vintage computer and telephone hardware is quite popular on sites such as eBay, some of which fetching high prices. I recall seeing an early brick cellphone priced at around $800 US.

        By the way, I liked using the VT100 terminals with the aforementioned VAX. For me, it was a step up from the DECwriters.

        1. Yeah, it’s on the Round Tuit list. It runs fine, just need to connect the cables & plug it in. Not a gamer but I played my very first video game on it. It was a mortar sim that would show the target & wind speed/direction. You needed to adjust shot height & direction to hit the target. Fun for the time.

          I have 3 or 4 Rohde & Schwarz PUC Process Controllers, as well. They were used as test beds to run a battery of checks on circuit boards. A couple even had dual floppy disk drives. If memory serves, they had the same 6502 CPU’s as the early Apple computers.

          1. Take a look at:

            https://hackaday.com

            and you’ll see numerous articles about people who work on vintage equipment, to get it going again, and to see what it can do.

  13. Maple Leafs’ Mitch Marner carjacked at gunpoint in Etobicoke

    Happened at 7:45 pm in Toronto.
    .
    He was with a lady friend when {“no suspect description at this time”} 3 black males,2 carrying handguns,one carrying a knife forced them out of his new Range Rover.

  14. Not so much a reader’s tip as a public service announcement. Bob Barker would sign off the Price is Right with the phrase, “Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered.”. Today, some parents might have thought Bob said Trans children.

    1. “Not HiLo here”

      That’s a good thing. BTW, just to be clear him and “YeahWell” are the same poster.

  20. For an MKUltra Canadian slant this is good as well. This was before the CBC became socialist bootlickers and as usual the Canadian gov’t refused to help those affected. Some things never change.

    It’s hard to find the right words to describe the CIA without using expletives but sick, evil and twisted will have to do for now.

        1. Yeah, but remember what happened to him after he said that? I think Flounder had the last word, so to speak.

  24. Here’s an excellent article by Christopher Rufo:
    https://christopherrufo.com/laying-siege-to-the-institutions/

    arguing that conservatives and moderates must attack ruling institutions (e.g. Disney, school boards) with the idea of replacing them with something more democratic and morally acceptable. For busy SDAers read the last seven or eight paragraphs, which outlines a solid activist agenda. Conservatives must set up parallel institutions and stop financing corrupt establishment institutions.

  26. GLOBAL COVID-19 SUMMIT TWO-MINUTE Video SUMMARY

    Our corrupt satanic pm telling you it’s not over

    A two-minute summary of the four-hour “Global Covid-19 Summit” that took place yesterday.

    All the world “leaders” who lied and promoted the mandatory vaccination strategy verbally pledged to work together through the WHO “intergovernmental body” to combat the pandemic.

    Preparations for a new epidemic are in full swing and WHO will play a primary role in it. This is not the same organization that it was before. The villain turns into a werewolf and will soon release his claws.

    1. And most, if not all, of them are Schwabbies and, if a Schwabbie tells you something, it must be true, right?

  33. As an avowed separatist & supporter of Wexit, I don’t have a dog in this hunt. That said, at least some of what this guy is saying is mildly interesting.

    Roman Baber Commits to Firing Dr. Theresa Tam If He Becomes Prime Minister

    https://thenationaltelegraph.com/national/roman-baber-commits-to-firing-dr-theresa-tam-if-he-becomes-prime-minister

    ” I will withdraw Canada’s participation in the new WHO Pandemic Treaty.

    I will scrap and outlaw all of Justin’s unscientific and discriminatory mandates and passports.

    I will get accountability after establishing a Judicial Inquiry to investigate Public Health decisions and the influence of foreign interests, pharmaceutical companies and their lobbyists on pandemic decision-making.”

    1. Not sure about his chances at winning the leadership but it would be a poetic Justice if he ever became foreign affairs minister.
      Ditto for Leslynn Lewis as AG.
      And not to be left out, Charest as leader of the unofficial liberal six seat caucus.
      Which is quite generous as the LPC doesn’t deserve even one seat in the HoC or the Senate.
