  1. The driver must have practiced on Edmonton streets, particularly in the winter.

      1. The problem is that driving in such a fashion seems to be all too common here in Edmonton, though it isn’t entirely the fault of those behind the wheel. The streets are often like curling rinks in the winter. Snowplows here in Edmonton are like sasquatches: everybody believes they exist but few people have actually ever seen one.

        1. Since the City of Edmonton cannot somehow clean snow off of residential streets and cul-de-sacs, one city councilor is planning to BAN NEW CUL-de-SACS from being built. Seriously. Seems graders and plows have a big turning radius. Who knew (sarc)? I wonder how Saskatoon and Winnipeg and Fargo and Thunder Bay and Stockholm and Helsinki and…………

  3. “The coronavirus pandemic is stabilising in Brazil and any reversal of its rampant spread in the vast country would be “a success for the world”, the World Health Organization said on Friday.”
    I think I will call the “proper response to Covid completely busted if Brazil has less than 150 000 dead.
    Sweden appears to have made the correct call and Brazil will be the test case.
    Sweden by choice,Brazil by nature.
    So if Brazil mirrors Sweden.

    Covid ,as a pandemic,will be over in both these countries,while our “expert helpers” will prolong the plandemic until we revolt.
    If the swedish number are any guide,Canada can expect <25 000 dead.
    Either in 4 months or over 4 years.
    Can we afford the 4 year option?

    1. Keep in mind that the Pakistanis are buddy-buddy with the Chinese, so there may be more to that comment than is immediately apparent.

      1. And Muslims don’t care about other Muslims or they would be threatening nuclear war on China.

        No nuclear armed nation has ever fought a war with another. It’s long believed that everyone losses.

        Nuclear weapons, according to the ‘highly reliable’ wikipedia:
        China maybe 280
        Pakistan 70-90
        India 150-200

        1. A lot of foreign aid and promises of new, bright, shiny facilities in one’s country can cover up a great number of a benefactor’s misdeeds.

      2. And India is buddy-buddy with Pootin so I doubt anything serious will come out of it. Just linked the article to again illustrate how mooselimbs preaching genocide get a pass.

  4. Help find this horrible mother so she can be arrested and have her unaborted child taken away for child abuse! This vile WHITE woman bought her 7 y/o a MAGA hat and appears to be raising a white supremacist. Two progressives tolerantly and compassionately take away the snot-nosed kid’s hat, and the mother went crazy! All they were doing is saving the kid from a life of white supremacy. Progressives know what is best for children. Help us find this mom so she can be jailed for child abuse!

  5. “So you think you can drive? ”

    Heh I have just unlocked this truck in Snowrunner (a video game) and was trying again and again to repeat that move. That thing is beast btw.

  6. I used to do that on icy Cowtown roads, late at night. Just for fun. Thirty seventh street SW in particular (I lived down there), below Bow Trail. Drove a Mazda GLC hatchback, manual shift. Just pop the emerg brake and hold it. Do slow 360’s down the street. Used to wellsight with that car before we had to cart gas detectors. Would pull the same stunt as Mr Truck in the snow and back into the shack to unload. Back in my hell raising days.

    1. Wellsite work in a Mazda hatchback? You are a sucker for punishment. I need a larger SUV to haul the Continental gas detectors I have been recently using (at least I did until the virus took over from Trudeau in killing the oil industry.)

      1. This was 1981, back when gas detectors were a novelty at the wellsite. And that Mazda went where 4×4’s cratered, believe it or not. My “other” wellsite vehicles were ’85 Toyota 4×4, 2x Dodge Ram 1500 xtra cabs, V-8 stick shifts, last one a Ford F-150 4-door 4×4 V-8 auto. I sat wells for 30+ years, post holes to +5000 meters and drilled everywhere from Manitoba, west to the Foothills down near Coleman and north to Fort Nelson and points in between, along the Precambrian Shield, plus into it. Red Earth Creek was a separate the men from the boys when picking TD. For fun I did mining jobs when there was no oil work. Yukon to Kaybec and points in between. Multiple thousands of feet of diamond drilling. Over 400 oil or gas wells drilled vertically, directionally and horizontally. I drilled for companies who don’t exist today, or morphed into something else. We “cooked” our samples on the stove at the end of the shack from the Engineer. In Saskatchewan we used to “be” the company man, set casing and ran cement jobs, or plugs, as the Geologist on site. No Engineer or Company Man like today. We didn’t have computerized logs, Pason, or computers, just a good fast right hand and drafting pens, plus a scientific calculator for directional, then typewriters. Prints were run in the logging truck before you left the lease, to deliver as soon as you hit Calgary, at the Company Geologist’s home. You’re spoiled sonny.

        1. I did my first six months (of 25 years) of wellsite before getting a laptop computer. I remember running all over southern Saskatchewan and Alberta looking for places with fax machines to send wireline logs. I still have my frying pans, though I haven’t used them in a decade. Never had to be the company man. I don’t need that kind of headache, LOL.

  7. Minneapolis Minnesota BLM and Riot News.

    Last weekend, BLM went to protest at the house of Minneapolis Police Department Lieutenant Bob Kroll not because of anything he did as an officer, but solely because he is the Police Union President. He lives in Hugo Minnesota, which is a northern exurb of Saint Paul. The Republican Politicians in Hugo scheduled a Unity Rally today, Saturday, then canceled it due to threats. Then a local Black Minister uncanceled it.

    https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2020/08/unity-event-canceled-due-to-threats-of-violence.php

    Read the links in the article above to get the background. BLM and the DFL Politicians really hate his backside, probably because he has been very effective Union President, defending his officers, even when they were in the wrong.

  8. Is the media digging or burying the WE poop now that Parliament is “officially”in recess?

    1. Awe c’mon Liz
      The RCMP are investigating
      The mop and pail are writing about it
      Pierre P is holding up “blacked-out” released papers
      Its a virtual deluge, that dam is about to burst!
      And Sock-boy (TM) is blaming Harper for having to pro-rouge parliamnet like Harper, to announce $37B two days later.
      Its head spinning the stuff coming from Ottawa, who has time to look south?

    2. Unless some major secret is released, this WE business is going to go quiet next week. It will be taken over by the screaming Teachers’ Unions. My God, think of the children!!!

  9. Great Leader Kim Sung Trudeau is taking more personal time at Harrington Lake this weekend. He is relaxing from his new Angry Adolf persona. Yesterday he tried it out by angrily scoffing that his loyal journalist’s questions were not important, and daring the opposition to oppose his big plans for the peasants.

  10. California Governor Gavin Newsom (Democrat, of course) promised earlier this year that his salary was to be cut by 10%, like every other California state employee. Turns out the multi-millionaire “forgot.”

    “Newsom’s office told The Sacramento Bee, which accessed details of his pay over the last three months, that it was an ‘oversight’ that had led to him continuing to collect a full salary.”

  11. If Canada was playing poker we could only lay down a pair. But these two queens mean to destroy our market economy once and for all and they’re not gambling, but purposefully destroying the wealth of the nation.

    I find it odd that our dollar is climbing against the USD. From .689 March 18th to .759 yesterday.
    I’m not sure I even know what the value of anything is anymore.
    But I’m sure two neo-Marxists are going to let me know.

    1. The US greenback is dropping value, that’s why gold is riding high. Strange, oil used to as well if the US Buck went south. What gets me is why the Loonie hasn’t cratered. Maybe after the CERB ends.

  12. Want to make some of that money Angry Adolf is throwing out the door? True North reports that the federal government wants bids for transporting illegal immigrants to temporary locations in Quebec. Bidders must be able to transport 150 parasites a day.

    1. No mention of any help for homeless veterans.

      How many of these Illegal immigrants, called “Irregulars” by the cottage hopper, will be breeding new Canadians?

  13. Watching the Covid Show on CPAC this morning.
    The Ass Covering is getting intense.
    More draconian restrictions on citizens.
    Bigger fines and more searing contempt for the taxpayers.
    I predict a vaccine will be rushed to market.
    Made compulsory.
    As the pandemic naturally ends,the vaccine will be touted as a huge success and all deadly side effects will be hidden.
    For The high priced butts must be protected from exposure of their incompetence and arrogance.
    Masks will be mandated everywhere,but the question of “Do they work” will be answered by the obvious.
    Masks must be worn,but the “Emergency” continues.
    Yet if masks work,the pandemic is over.

    I am amazed by the public tolerance for idiocy.
    Government that causes wilfull harm,as the COVID CRISIS does,must be destroyed.
    What part of “We will kill you to prevent you catching covid” makes you feel safer?

    1. People are accepting of the deception, I think, because it is too frightening to admit that their governments and media are incompetent or — worse– evil. I don’t expect them to wake up,even when we are into forced vaccines.

  14. After not stopping flights from China and stating that the virus is low risk to Canadians, China Tam is now calling for the use of hard drugs to be legalized. Yes Blackie’s media is excited that Peking Tam has joined other Liberals in calling for the legalization of illegal drugs. Angry Adolf is already providing new funds to hand out drugs to addicts in Toronto.

    1. When they legalized pot I said that stoned and stupid was the electorate that was desired, now I guess insane and extremely dangerous and close to death is the desired goal.

    2. Addiction is a health issue. Selling is a criminal issue. Don’t let people try to convince you that they are the same thing.
