  1. Are you so certain that this was meant to be … “unintentionally” …. amusing ?

  2. Just heard a 5 minute report on BBC Radio News about the shooting in Chattanooga. From that I learned that :
    1. The shooter has a name, but it wasn’t mentioned.
    2. He was working alone.
    3. They don’t yet have ANY IDEA what motivated these murders.
    Truly pathetic yet that’s modern journalism in a nutshell.

  3. Last evening the CBC ran the following story under this headline.
    ”Tom Mulcair’s NDP seeks advice on preparing to govern after election.”
    My comment was: ”My advice to the NDP is please, remain in the opposition side of the house!”
    My comment was deleted.
    Then I made the following comment based on the photo that accompanied the article. A photo that showed Tom Mulcair surrounded by people who mostly were dressed in Red and White.
    ”I’m quite surprised to see the photo of Mr. Mulcair and his followers all sporting Red and White colors. I thought the official color of the NDP was orange?? WE want to be Liberals do we??”
    That too was deleted. Of course I display a Conservative Party of Canada logo for my avatar at CBC.Ca, little wonder they delete my comments.

  4. Black Knives Matter
    Oh OK, in this instance it was a champagne bottle, but still.
    Three [black] Canadian women accused of attacking another woman with a champagne bottle and glasses in an upscale Manhattan hotel appeared in criminal court Tuesday where they were charged with felony assault and weapons offences.

  7. Regarding tonight’s musical selection.
    I would suggest that socialists never had any to loose unless they are in the mood to force you to accept their ideology. Liberals used to have them, but lost them during the latter part of the last century. Progressive conservatives think they have some, but are not sure where they left them. Some conservatives have them and use them, some others think to find them as a last resort.

  8. I read a article in CCPA by Scott Sinclair (SASK GRAD) that was butt ugly Marxist.. CCPA articles are all left of left and it helps to know the targets of their anger. They all seem to be embedded in academia (Day job paid by taxpayer)
    He belongs to Rideau Institute a NON profit Marxist Public policy group. They drive the political LEFT in Canada..(Same ideas,same policy)

  9. “The Village People” must have been the most offensive band of all time – who knew?
    Aboriginals and music festivals are cracking down on crackers wearing feathers in their hair.

  13. They need to stop the aboriginals from wearing Stetsons and Nike ball caps
    By the way I don’t wear feathers. My ancestors got over that about 2 millennia ago

  19. Environment Canada FROST warning for last night in north western New Brunswick:

  23. Just another Islamic extremist doing what he’s been programed to do. Let’s wait and see what Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has to say on this. Will he say no more immigrants from Islamic states? He’s riding high with the people on immigration, a very important file which can have a great impact on any country.

    “It has been 117 months since a major hurricane, defined as a Category 3 or above, has made landfall in the continental United States, according to 2015 data from the Hurricane Research Division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    This is the longest span of time in which no major hurricane has struck the mainland U.S. in NOAA hurricane records going back to 1851.”

  28. Newsflash: BC Premier Christy Clark has just commented on the premiers’ conference, stating “we had very productive meetings and we all agree energy and the environment are intertwined, especially since they both start with E, so obviously fining people who pollute while we get to blow the money on anything we want is, well we hope, sustainable; and we’ve decided to increase federal taxes too. We will continue to update the media on other policy areas for which we have zero jurisdiction.”
    Also, the Left-lib media begins to turn the spotlight on Tom Mulcair and his mishmash of confused and contradictory policies, where you don’t just get to be against things anymore:
    http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/thomas-mulcair-walking-a-fine-cross-country-line-on-energy-east/article25543873/
    http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-debate/a-cautionary-fiscal-lesson-for-mulcair/article25541358/
    Speaking out of both sides of an issue is so well, Chretien. If we elect Mulcair then we deserve the fate of the Greeks.

  29. AGW RIP.

  32. I don’t know, but I think it’s reasonable to assume that the vast majority of references to “balls” in the history of children’s entertainment/instructional recordings are references to the bouncy-bouncy recreational toys/objects, just as the word “Johnson” in this ad was intended to be a reference to a brand of outboard motors.
