    1. You mean the same Toronto whose former mayor figured his city was so important that the military can be called in to shovel snow?

      1. a little known fact about the snow issue. Toronto ran out of room in the snow dumps and it is illegal for the “city” to dump it in a non approved dump.

        Lastman being no fool called in the troops who are under no obligation to use approved facilities. the MSM sure to form suppressed that to the great unwashed

        1. Lastman didn’t put much effort into correcting the apparent misconception.

          1. actually he would have been charged with an environmental offence. sometimes it is better to take the heat from a despicable media than get fined

    2. Gotta admit, I was raised in Mississauga, live an hour away from Toronto now, and I did zip my liner into my jacket this morning for a -14C

        1. -17 C. here in Fredericton, and cut my ball-fetch game with Jack, our dog, downtown 10 minutes.

        2. Thermometer was frozen all week at -28 C (night temps -34 C) day time highs -25 C. Supposed to warm up Sunday to +1 C. Reminder…..Calgary is the same Latitude as the bottom of James Bay. Tronna is around Oregon/California border.

      1. Pretty ballsy reply from those SCAMMERS.
        And I’m curious just where that reply originated..? Dehli – Mumbai..?
        ..the English is pretty bad.

        Let the Lawsuits begin….

    2. Just wait til they force EV and or self-driving vehicles on everybody…you don’t want to do the update? You don’t drive.

      1. EV are the ultimate in planned ( forced ) obsolescence. Funny how the consumer watchdog press isn’t all over this scam, isn’t it?

    1. Thanks. Love James and the rest of the Top Gear/Grand Tour crew. He seems to be doing a lot more independent projects lately: Drivetribe, Japan etc.

        1. True, but in the few minutes I watched, the implication was that his undertaking was going to be the first time an attempt to fly R/C model across the sea would be made.

          2. Depends what it’s powered by. Solar Impulse took months to complete its trip around the world – including nearly five days nonstop from Japan to Hawaii – and it was delivered to its start point in the Middle East by 747.

    2. Besides, you can’t play “fetch” with a cat, unless, of course, it’s the cat that the you-know-what is fetching.

      1. Every cat I’ve had loved to play fetch when they were kittens. The problem was they all got bored of it and just stopped when they got older. if you ever get a kitten one day they will play fetch, but only for a limited time.

        1. I’m a dog person, myself, but love all animals. When I was a kid, a stray cat came around our house and our dad fed it. He forbade us from allowing the cat in the house, though. Well, winter comes along and kitty needs a warm place to sleep. Sure enough, dad lets him in the house and there he stayed. I have never known a cat like him; he was more like a dog. He loved to cuddle and let us play with him and dress him up. He took turns sleeping with us kids and we loved him. We named him Heathcliff after the cartoon cat, my dad’s favourite. Best cat ever!

          1. Cats evolved for dogs to chase. I remember the first dog in the family, a gorgeous female long-haired miniature dachshund, liked doing that. One day, my parents were visiting me, with doggy in tow, and there was a cat outside on the lawn.

            My mother said, “Katze! Katze!” (“Cat! Cat!”) and held the door open. The little lady promptly bolted through, saw the cat and ran after it. Once the feline managed to find refuge in a tree, the dog sat at the bottom with a satisfied look of triumph.

        2. All my cats thought they were dogs to a ripe old age. They made good floor dusters, too. My Samoyed thought bears were just bigger dogs.

    3. Cats are the scourge of the earth. They are recognized as a threat to global biodiversity. “Cat predation on birds and mammmals is an even bigger environmental and ecological catastrophe than previously thought…” ( Myrna Pearman ‘Backyard Bird Feeding an Alberta Guide’). It is estimated cats kill between 1.4 and 3.7 Billion birds in the US alone each year.

      The songbird population is in serious trouble. Allowing cats to roam free is completely irresponsible. Out here at the trap shack cats have a limited life expectancy.

      1. Yup. All my cats stay indoors. I keep the bird feeders full, let the dog out to chase the squirrels and I take care of the rats.

      2. AB
        Exactly right.

        A few responsible owners put bells on cats.

        My neighbour was given a kitten. As it grew up it killed a songbird and deposited it on the kitchen floor. My neighbour got a collar and bell for the cat. Watching the cat try to hunt song birds was then quite fun.

        Eventually the cat stopped hunting birds. It had success hunting mice that would try and grab seeds off the ground below the bird feeders. The cat would also proudly drop the mice off on my neighbour’s kitchen floor.

        1. Cats should always remain indoors or within outside enclosures.
          Placing a bell collar on a cat may work for a little while but in the end it just makes the cat a more efficient hunter.

  6. Congress finally passed the USMCA and President Donald Trump will be signing it soon. We still need the Canadian Parliament and Canada’s PM Justin Trudeau to make the USMCA official.

    Will Justin support his little brown brothers in Mexico and get it done?

      1. In Canada being Hispanic isn’t considered a cultural handicap. The one Mexican I know runs his own business and it isn’t landscaping. Another kind of Mexican I see by the dozen work their asses off. Mind you they are Mexican Mennonites, decidedly not of Iberian or Mesoamerican origin.

  9. If anyone has an hour to spare this weekend, beautiful funeral service for John Crosbie in Newfoundland today. Brian Mulroney gave an entertaining and heartfelt eulogy to his former cabinet minister. Beautiful sacred music, beautiful cathedral, even the CBC was respectful. Nice to see!

  10. Canada Post celebrates China with a new series of stamps unveiled at a Chinese cultural center in Canada. The stamps depict the Year Of The Rat. Now you can send culturally appropriate letters to the Canadians that were kidnapped by Chinese police. No word yet on when Canada Post will announce stamps celebrating Islam.

  12. Blackie’s Globe and Mail reports that Ontario teachers are taking more sick leave now than ten years ago. Its costing taxpayers six hundred and fifty million dollars a year in sick leave costs.

    2. How much per teacher taking sick leave.

      Your number is largely devoid of meaning, otherwise. More? How much more? And how many are taking it?

      1. I checked the G&M article, and the data is on a per-teacher basis, where days off per year/teacher went from 10 to 15 over the past eight years. That’s a lot of sick days. As an aging professor before I retired from teaching, I never took more than 1-2 days off a year. So John up above is essentially right in his remarks.

        1. In all my years of teaching, I never had a sick day. I came in when I had colds (which I likely caught from students or colleagues) and I still put in a full day’s work.

          On two occasions, though, I had someone take my lectures on those days because I was attending convocation ceremonies for my last two degrees.

  13. LMAO…I find this Delicious.

    Virtue Signalling Left Coast type Eco-tards moaning and crying after they spent some 75k USD for their precious EV’s and now getting FLEECED once again.
    I’m betting not one of them read the fine fine print..?
    And why would you give someone one access to your Cr Card..?

    Not sure if they know where they can find Sympathy..?
    But I’m sure they are about to find out.
    MORONS.

  14. Brian Lilley at the Toronto Sun website writes about Blackie giving taxpayer money to Canadian Tire.

  15. Re Climate Change:

    In their worst case warming scenario Calgary will become as warm as Toronto.

    Over 5 million people live in Toronto. They seem to survive just fine. However, I will admit that the Toronto elites go on winter vacations to places warmer than Toronto. Funny that!

  18. I’d say “they’re baaack”, but they never left.

    Librano Quebec.
    Home of the Liberal tithe.
    A cut to the Mafia, a cut to the Libranos.

    While everyone knew that every government dollar spent in Quebec, gave a portion to the Mafia and a portion to the Liberals.
    For decades.
    The government knew.
    The police knew.
    The bureaucrats knew .
    The lawyers knew.
    The engineers knew.
    The architects knew.
    The Media knew.
    For decades.

    See the Charbonneau commission.

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/charbonneau-corruption-inquiry-findings-released-1.3331577 (apologies for ?$%#@!&* CBC link)

    And the Libranos have brought this corruption to the rest of the country.

    Did you know that new Attorney-General David Lametti’s Montreal office was a stone throw away from SNC Lavlin headquarters?

    Too bad the RCMP wouldn’t investigate the federal Librano’s and their “Riding 127”.

    “An ongoing investigation into how Marc Bibeau raised funds for the Quebec Liberal Party while it was headed by former premier Jean Charest involved an effort to secretly install high-tech devices to spy on Bibeau’s offices in St-Eustache.”

    https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/tentative-police-sought-to-secretly-install-devices-inside-marc-bibeaus-office

    Canada is as corrupt as any tinpot dictatorship.
    The Libranos just have better publicists.
    The Canadian Media.

  19. Libranos caught between the US and the comfy fur Chretien Chinese contingent.
    Current and particularly former Libranos, love themselves some Chinese.
    They’re tighter than a Librano spending their own money.
    Yuan wonders what the attraction is?

    Libranos bringing you the Third World standards you deserve.

    Eddie Goldenberg is a former chief of staff of Prime Minister Jean Chrétien and is now a partner in the law firm of Bennett Jones LLP.

    1. Their estates – he sure is generous. Is there any way we could find out how much of his own money he donates. Right now he is comparable to a sex meaniac in a brothel using our credit card .

    2. I can see that many Canadians will feel the money is a generous offering from Canada. Funny though. My brother-in-law came back from Afghanistan in one piece, but some of his fellow soldiers did not. I don’t remember any of their families getting $25,000. Because, as Trudeau reminded our military “Canada just doesn’t have the money”.

      1. Exactly. It would be nice to juxtapose that for some cunned stunts at the CBC, CTV & Global cheerleading teams.

  21. Actually, he is probably right. Under his influence, all pensions will be so heavily taxed by green fees that they will be worthless.

  23. Conrad Black writes about Ontario teacher unions at the National Post. Leftists and union members go nuclear in the comments section.

  24. Post Millennial reports that a Trudeau appointed senator attended a pro-China event, and Blackie’s Globe and Mail has two stories that we should bow down to China and send the Huawei executive back to that country. I guess we know who the Laurentian elites stand up for, and its not Canada.

  26. Is Hollywood doing enough to fight climate change?

    https://getpocket.com/explore/item/is-hollywood-doing-enough-to-fight-the-climate-crisis?utm_source=pocket-newtab

    “Amid the gathering storms, there is growing criticism that mainstream TV news organizations and storytellers in Hollywood haven’t done enough to raise public awareness of the need for action. “I have often wondered what will be the incremental climate event that causes people to say, ‘OK, the validity of the science is clear,’” says Alan Horn, co-chairman of Walt Disney Studios, who is also chairman of the Natural Resources Defense Council, one of the world’s most prominent environmental advocacy groups.”

    It’s not that Hollywood isn’t delivering the message. They aren’t following their own rules. How can you convince people the climate is in danger from too much fossil fuels when you burn $500,000 worth of diesel to go watch a soccer game with your buddies on one of the world’s largest yachts?

      1. Lol
        “It’s at the heart of climate science — it is the E=mc2 of global warming physics — if you tax energy, people will get colder.”

  28. …Notice that the 24 Canadians killed on the Iranian “accident” are not mentioned in the news!

  29. teslas?
    EVs?
    Im kinda thinking I wil NEVER EVER buy one. if they are FREE I wont have one.
    if Im PAID to take one I wont have one.
    bad enough so many hand held digital gadgets get hacked let alone BE in one.

  32. And now a recap of the political panels on Blackie’s CBC and CTV. Justin is wonderful with how he is dealing with the Iranian tragedy. He is so kind and intelligent. And that beard and ruffled hair gives him a serious look. And everybody in Canada wants the victims families to get taxpayer money. Also Harper is Hitler for closing down the embassy and he is also Hitler for possibly getting involved in the leadership race. And don’t forget that Canadians are racist bastards.

  33. First they destroy forests, by not allowing proscribed burns.

    Now the target is to kill off seabirds with offshore windmills. And the gang greens will blame the seabird demise on climate change.
