“It’s a no-brainer,” said Lee Sayer, a musician in San Francisco and anti-fluoride activist who has been drinking raw water for months.
Indeed. Big no-brainer.

Run Away! Run Away!*
We’ve had two radios for about 10 years now. I love it. I’ve a box with an antenna to listen downstairs, the vehicles have the attachments. I can listen to every CFL game, most NCAA football games, NFL Radio, a large number of news stations, a huge variety of talk radio and specialized music channels that don’t have any representation locally. I listen to SiriusXM far more than local radio and vastly more than I watch television.
I’m afraid Howard Dean and Seth Rogen will not tempt me to change my entertainment habits.*
Looks good on ya.
Let’s see, the left-coast cities all have rent-control. They all have have anti-sprawl policies. They are all “sanctuary cities”.
None of these things have anything to do with homelessness, I’m sure.
Prediction
All the politicians that can’t afford to look too pro-Israel will come out against the move of the official embassy to Jerusalem.
Then a year or two later they’ll all be there because a 150km round trip is too far for diplomats to go to parties.

Kathy Griffin complains she’s unemployable after being ‘blacklisted’ from Hollywood for Trump photo scandal
In a new YouTube video, the comedian complained about not being able to find work after she says she was blacklisted by Hollywood for posing with a severed, bloodied head of President Trump.
At this rate she’ll turn into Randy Quaid in no time at all.

Coffee Company Admits Public Decision To Pull Ads From Hannity Created ‘Unacceptable Situation’
That advertising pullout came in the wake of an astroturfed campaign from Media Matters based on false allegations that Hannity expressed support for child molestation and had attacked sexual assault accusers.
There is ridiculing the owners of machines breaking a product they’ve already bought, but the Keurig machines are to profit as razors are; the money is in the blades.
Keurig is in a dangerous situation, the mark-up on the K-Cups is so ridiculous it’s actually cheaper to grind your own and only drink one cup out of a french press.

Calling out the Catholics.
Notley is way off-base. Either the premier didn’t read the words of the Catholic superintendents or she somehow didn’t understand them.
…or Notley is in desperate need of a wedge issue to salvage the Alberta NDP, and hey, when hasn’t slandering religion not worked for the left?
“Karl Marx, not Adolf Hiter, was arguably the most destructive German ever born”
Richard Fernandez; (sorry! link fixed)
With George Washington declared a racist, along with Christopher Columbus, Thomas Jefferson, and Teddy Roosevelt, there is no refuge from absurdity. Marx’s heirs, having freed themselves from moral restraints, have ridiculously proceeded to construct an elaborate system of mores governing every aspect of life. There are now PC formulas for bathrooms, transgender forms of address, Halloween costumes, sexual behavior, speech, food choices, energy consumption, transportation and even mathematics, just to name a few. Among the innumerable rules of virtue there’s even a sacrament of penance, to which Harvey Weinstein has subscribed, declaring his intention to atone for his reported sexual assaults by fighting the NRA.
Not bad for a movement that was going to abolish all truth and morality if the object is comedy. A million little politically correct rules and none of them — by Marx’s own admission — ultimately true. If that isn’t good for laughs, nothing is. Perhaps, the greatest damage Marxism did, apart from inspiring the death of actual persons, was to fill much of the Western world with such sheer craziness it undermines its will to live.
Anyone should farm anywhere.
Wingnuts want to go back to the middle ages with all the disease that entails.
The popular trend of raising backyard chickens in U.S. cities and suburbs is bringing with it a soaring number of illnesses from poultry-related diseases, some of them fatal.
Since January, more than 1,100 people have contracted salmonella poisoning from chickens and ducks in 48 states, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Almost 250 were hospitalized and one person died. The toll was four times higher than in 2015.
Idiots.
Well, we do say, “Own it.”
But I didn’t think the current gov’t was this invested in the label.

With nine days to go the proxy war for Calgary looks pretty much settled, but don’t get cocky.
If this lead continues, Rachael will be sweating, staffers will be calling in favours in B.C., brushing up the resumes. First term MLAs will be thinking about finishing that degree.
Remember this from Prentice during the debate?

Not my cousins.
So Quebec is angry at Joly for the Netflix deal basically ignoring French.
Hey, Quebec, get stuffed. No one but you gives a crap about your culture. It wouldn’t survive without language laws and government hand-outs. It’s a net loss and business knows it.
Personally, I prefer to think of it as a success of English speaking Western Mayors.
Well, that’s it.
TransCanada terminates plan for $15.7 billion Energy East pipeline
That’s okay though, we’ll have lots of baristas.
L'abandon projet Énergie-Est est une victoire majeure du monde municipal.@MTL_Ville et mes collègues ont fait une différence dans dossier

Notable quote from Brad Wall’s facebook post below.
That our taxpayers in Saskatchewan and Alberta will continue to send, without question, about $2.5 billion in equalization payments to help support Quebec that receives $11 billion in equalization per year and $1.4 billion to Ontario. All of this despite the fact that low energy prices have resulted in job losses and lower revenues for the last 4 years.
Something needs to change. For the west to continue on like this in our federal system is the equivalent of having Stockholm syndrome.

Calgary MLA Karen McPherson quits NDP caucus to sit as Independent

Trump team plays hardball in NAFTA talks with Buy America demands
The Trump administration proposal calls for boosting the minimum dollar threshold for government projects available for foreign bidders. It would also cap the total amount that Canadian and Mexican companies can receive in American procurement contracts at what U.S. companies get in those countries.
Maybe asking for 20+ States to end their Right to Work laws, or gender equity, indigenous rights and climate change?
Maybe you should try taking the negotiations seriously too, eh, Justin? Because if you eff this up….
