  1. I don’t care about the election interferrance. I want to know how dirty the pm is. What has he turned over to China.. How much danger are we in?

    1. I waver between, “what difference does this make when 99% of them are corrupt, and if there’s no inquiry into this we’ll know 99% of them are corrupt”

      The PM of Canada, will be in Parliament for Question Period today. Won’t that be an eyeopener? There’ll be no more secrets after this… We’ll know ALL.

      The only real surprise so far, has been the Globe and Mail coverage of this scandal, and I don’t know how long the old guy at the G&M can keep it up. It’s doubtful this erection continues into an election.

      When does the west separate?

        1. What! You wouldn’t eat a squirrel to support Ukraine! In Britain they are calling it “Elensky chicken”.

    1. I don’t care about the conflict over there But England complaining about people having to sacrifice for a war effort????Short frigging memory folks

      1. It is a made up story. None in England is forced to eat squirrel because of the war in Ukraine. That’s just pure nonsense propagated by orc propaganda that those of feeble mind believe in.

      1. A.I. I saw that. More good news on the settled-science news front. I can’t wait to hear about it on CBC radio. I am holding my breath starting now…

    1. I wonder how we ever survived with rates at a low of 8.25% from 1970 onward through to about 2000. I had mortgages over the years ranging from 8.25 to 15.50 on eight different houses. I was in a number of businesses and all were profitable in spite of interest rates. Tell me, just what has changed to make interest rates dangerous. We actually used to get a return from our money in banks.

      1. We survived because houses cost $50,000 in 1980. Today you can’t buy a house for $500,000.

        1. If you take housing, food and essential costs as a percentage of median incomes, you’ll see that overall wages have been stagnant since 1972/73.

          1. I have read that our incomes in real terms were as high as they have ever been in 1970. All the computerization and efficiency have not helped the industrialized world, just the shithole world.

        2. Because…..? Giving away money with ridiculously low interest rates allowed the prices to balloon. Throw into that mix municipalities wanting houses of a certain value to increase the tax tax base. No modest three bedroom bungalows or modular homes were allowed in many cities and towns.
          Your statement about 50k houses while correct, wages also reflected the overall cost of housing, cars and everything.
          Now if wages were comparable for costs there would not be a problem.
          We now have governments whose main goal is the destruction of business and industry and the dumb bastards are supported by the dumb voters. The market place has been distorted by government not commerce.

    1. Too late David. I have been asking about ESG at our local credit union here in Alberta. ESG has permeated everything they do. When I asked about non-ESG investing, crickets. In fact, I got the distinct impression that I was a horrible person for even questioning it. From what I can determine, just about every financial institution here in Canada is infested.

      1. ESG is fascism. Corporations doing the government ideological business, conforming to remain in business.

  2. Silvergate Bank, a bank that deals mostly in cryptocurrency, is in danger of going belly up, and currently is in talks with FFIC suits:

    On a related note, there has been continued talk about the Bitcoin markrt being rigged, with its price being propped up by a few billionaire whales around $22,000($US). Economists are talking about the Fed raising its overnight rate to 6% and an impending world liquidity crisis. We are staring into the jaws of a world recession, and people are still investing in crypto ?

  3. “Covid not deadly enough to fast-track vaccines, Chris Whitty, UK’s
    Chief Medical Officer advised Ministers in February 2020”
    So, there was some sensibility in our health institutions, but somehow never won an argument. Remember, this is supposedly a ‘conservative’ government.

    1. “Covid” was not deadly enough to do anything other than treat the sick with tried and true methods, all the BS that was unfolded killed people unnecessarily. The vaxxes are finishing the job. Public health “officials” need to be fired, all of them.

  4. It’s international women’s day.

    The sisters are celebrating a day that started 100 years ago by a socialist in the US. The movement quickly was adopted in Europe and especially Russia where it morphed into a worship of communism and anti capitalism. It’s pretty much remained there ever since throughout the world. Go for it gurls.

    1. Typical self-aggrandizing NatPo dreck. The entire article could be “distilled” down to, “Trudeau is a racist, lying, misogynistic, authoritarian, trust fund baby, POS dictator-in-waiting with Mommy issues, a small dick, no spine and testicles the size of raisins”.

      Now, send me my GD cheque. I’m a urinalist, too…

    2. A good response by Polievre. I’m sure he caught them off guard. How dare he defend himself by attacking their benefactor.
