      1. The Sooner The Canadian Penal Colony and all the Provincial Gulags Collapse the safer and better it will be for the INMATES. They are Killing US.
        Stock Up Arm Up.

    1. This reminds me of the conservative leadership convention. When all the dairy lobby got in that 🙂 fat boy.

    1. That certainly gives new meaning to the greeting, “Heeelllllooooo, sailor…..”

      1. Of course, that would be in keeping with the appointment of a certain four-star admiral.

      2. Understand the crew of “HMS Britannia” had a certain reputation back in the day. “Hey, yachties” was supposedly the call.

      1. It is something, for sure. People are really starting to get their backs up, and I believe this week’s election results will provide encouragement to continue resisting the unconstitutional government dictates. Resisting idiotic groupthink while on an island has to be difficult.

    1. I know a number of people (all in Toronto) who are 67-71 and MUST work as they have not saved enough OR anything for retirement. Two couples must continue to work because they have treated their houses as ATM’s with 5 lines of credit. My “brother from another mother” explained to me that in order to have a line of credit (which he has had for business ), you must show income and not your CPP or OAS monies. One friend told me that she and her husband NEED to make $ 10,000/month to pay all of the bills and then earn another $ 2,000/month to pay income taxes. She has a problem sleeping at night (I wonder why).
      If you are healthy and employers want you, that is a blessing. But as I have aged, I have had some health problems (thankfully all in the past) and sometimes I need a little nap in the afternoon to get me over the hump in the evening.

      1. I am a working retiree. Fortunately I can still work, enjoy it and am healthy. All my savings are wrapped up in the house, which ios almost paid, only 2-3 percent to go. But I must downsize to realize it. House prices are crazy both ways – what your house can got and what you have to pay to get something smaller. I just can’t wait for all those extra taxes and inflation to eat into my savings.

  6. Don’t ever think of moving to Manitoba. It has the coldest and longest winters in North America.

    1. Mark…look North

      ummmm that would be ALBERTA..??
      Come on up and spend a winter in Fort McMurray….You will enjoy -43C Temps for many a day.
      Better bring a 10Ga 25′ Extension cord for whatever Vehicle you have…you gonna need it.

      Oh and if it’s a Diesel..?, either plug it in or install a WEBASTO. (Diesel Fired Coolant Heater)…and ensure your transmission has Castrol TRANSYND in it…good to -65

    2. My childhood is Flin Flon and it was mighty cold walking to high school uptown from Mile 84. My Dad used to put the on blocks rather than drive it on square tires that was his answer. Exhaust was so fierce it was like literally fog.
      !
      BUT SUMMER WERE FABULOUS ! Couldnt beat them! long long daylight but little in the winter.

        1. Northern B. C. during the summer isn’t much better.

          One joke that was told while the Alaska Highway was being built went something like this. At an airstrip, a plane lands and is refueled. Only after it took off again did the ground crew realize that it was a mosquito.

          Yeah, we can get some large skeeters up there. I swatted enough of them along the Halfway and Graham Rivers while I was growing up.

        2. And I forget those big bejeezers spruce beetles with the big antennas that chomp a big piece of meat out of you.

  7. Yet more movies. This time it’s a Marshall Thompson triple bill. (Marshall who?) Older SDAers may remember him as the start of the 1960s TV series Daktari, in which he played a veterinarian in Africa.

    Cult of the Cobra:

    Watch for a young David Janssen in this one.

    A double feature packaged as a drive-in presentation, complete with ads, First Man Into Space and Fiend Without a Face:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srjEcl4YQEU

    Again, older SDAers may remember those ads.

    Thompson’s movie career goes back to the 1940s. For example, he plays a USN ensign in They Were Expendable (Robert Montgomery and John Wayne, directed by John Ford), which was made around the time that WW II ended.

    1. I remember Daktari, watched it as a kid in late 70s early 80s Poland. One of a handful of western TV shows that were imported and run on state TV.

    2. road dog – I was going to post that. It links to another excellent article,

      https://wattsupwiththat.com/2021/11/06/glasgow-the-stampede-to-mass-poverty120-billion-tonnes-of-materials-for-wind-turbines-by-2050/

      “Just a handful of specialists seem to have noticed the significance of the recent magnesium shortage. Since the production of magnesium requires a lot of electricity, western companies got out of this business a long time ago. Many here were even happy to leave these “dirty” activities to China with its abundant and cheap coal-fired power generation…Magnesium is one of the most important alloying elements for high-quality aluminium alloys. The value chain today runs as follows: No CO2 means no magnesium, which means no aluminium. Period.”

      1. The Climate Nutter disconnect from reality is beyond comprehension. Kill all the fossil fuels, and then power the mining industry with what? No mines = no raw materials = no green hardware. The end.

        1. Just what the eco-ideologs want. They are wateremelons and despise Western civilization.

    1. Mr. Kaepernick is “oppressed” don’t ya know? Lots of wealthy, college-educated people are “oppressed” these days.
      We, the deplorables, are just not good enough or smart enough to recognize it. “How dare you” perfectly sums it up.

  12. Our governments imposing laws and babysitting us with inspectors and their own created experts…
    “For Our Own Safety” is the economic end to even basic survival.
    https://slate.com/technology/2021/11/risk-compensation-debunked-masks-rapid-tests-vaccines-safety.html
    It certainly has killed a few of my employment workplaces as it’s gotten so bad as to put expiration dates on equipment as well as a detailed inventory of restrictions which you need a few books to understand if your breaking any laws that have hefty fines.
    All for our own safety as our politicians don’t trust us to look after ourselves.
    Certainly has decimated our economies by our own politicians looking out for our ‘safety’.

  14. I usually use the Brave browser, and I have found for the last few days that this website only goes to an old archive page when I do. I tried it on Chrome this AM and that works, but it doesn’t work on Brave.

    1. I found the same thing on my phone and laptop. I lowered my shields and SDA loaded and then I raised them again. That seemed to work. I don’t want to use any other browser.

    2. Rusty…I’m using brave right now…no issues with an overlay of Duck Duck go.

      I did have that issue on my Cell phone though…very weird.?

    1. Maybe Montrealers didn’t recognize Denis Coderre, nearly 100 pounds lighter than in 2017, and they didn’t believe his claims that he was a changed man. /s

      From the Gazette:

      “Despite Coderre’s repeated insistence that the election should not be a referendum on his personality, he was running as much against himself as he was against Plante. As mayor from 2013 to 2017, Coderre irked Montrealers with his go-it-alone attitude, content to spend public funds on vanity projects and extravagances like lavish 375th-anniversary celebrations for Montreal and the Formula E race. This time around, Coderre’s campaign appeared lacklustre at times, and his delivery lacked energy. His campaign was also tarnished by several problematic candidates.”

  18. I’m a little confused. Is the Pearson flag up or down today. I know Big Chief Gay Eagle was supposed to raise it yesterday, so he could lower it for Indian veterans day. Then raise it before Remembrance Day so it could be lowered again. And Justin issued a heartwarming statement this morning, on how Indians won the wars for us.

  23. So ordinary saline solution kills covid but Biden blocks it.
    Feds Seek to Block Promotion of a Nasal Spray Against COVID-19 – Epoch Times

    The U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit in federal court against Utah-based company Xlear on Oct. 28, saying it has deceptively advertised its nasal spray as a treatment and preventative of COVID-19.

    The lawsuit asks a federal court to permanently ban the company from promoting the nasal spray as a treatment of COVID-19 and also asks that monetary penalties be levied against it.

    COVID-19 is the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus.

    The DOJ filed the complaint on behalf of the Federal Trade Commission, which alleges the company has violated the Federal Trade Commission Act and the Consumer Protect Act by making false claims about the benefits.

    The spray’s main ingredients are saline, grapefruit seed extract, and xylitol, a plant-derived sweetener commonly used in oral care products.

    “Companies can’t make unsupported health claims, no matter what form a product takes, or what it supposedly prevents or treats,” said Samuel Levine, director of the trade commission’s Bureau of Consumer Protection.

    “That’s the lesson of this case and many others like it, and it’s why people should continue to rely on medical professionals over ads,” Levine said in a press release on the lawsuit.

    The commission and Justice Department declined to make any further comment.

    Xlear’s attorney Robert Housman, of the Washington D.C. firm Book Hill Partners, told The Epoch Times that the commission is “flat out lying” about the company’s claims being unsupported.

    Housman pointed out that the National Institute of Allergy And Infectious Diseases—along with the National Institutes of Health, an arm of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services—funded clinical studies of the use of nasal sprays like Xlear’s and published findings last year that they were an effective treatment and prevention of the coronavirus.

    “When Xlear tells people about scientific studies, even ones republished by the NIH, we are somehow misleading people and making false claims. It’s nonsensical,” Housman told The Epoch Times. “Rather than embrace nasal interventions, the government is trying to eliminate their use because they don’t fit the government’s highly-flawed, vaccine-only agenda.”

    On Sept. 20, 2020, the NIH and NIAID published the findings of a random clinical trial they funded at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Tennessee on the merits of using hypertonic nasal saline irrigations to combat the CCP virus.

    The researchers in that study wrote the “effect of nasal irrigation on symptom resolution was substantial”, reporting that “nasal congestion and headaches in COVID patients resolved an average seven to nine days earlier” in the study group.

    “Our analysis suggests that nasal irrigations may shorten symptom duration and may have potential as a widely available and inexpensive intervention to reduce disease burden among those affected,” the researchers wrote in their findings.

    “We would advocate the use of hypertonic nasal saline irrigations in non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients as a safe and inexpensive intervention to reduce symptom burden.”

    Housman pointed out that the NIH also published the results of a clinical trial, held a few months later in November at the Larkin Community Hospital in Florida, which found the Xlear nasal spray specifically cleared symptoms of the disease in half the time.

    In addition to the Tennessee and Florida trials, another random clinical trial—more recently conducted at the Augusta University’s Emergency Department in Georgia—also concluded that the use of nasal spray was beneficial in treating COVID-19.

    Researchers in the university trial, which is still going on, so far found that patients with the CCP virus that participated in daily nasal irrigation were eight times less likely to be hospitalized than the national rate.

    The Justice Department did not specifically cite the Larkin, Vanderbilt, or Augusta trials in its lawsuit.

    It instead cited the results of lab studies conducted earlier at the University of North Carolina, at Chapel Hill, and the University of Tennessee, involving in vitro and animal testing. Neither of which the DOJ and FTC argue is a viable way to test nasal spray for live, human COVID-19 patients.

    The lawsuit additionally pointed out that the University of Tennessee study is based on a nasal spray containing iota-carrageenan, which the Xlear spray does not contain and, therefore, cannot be used as scientific evidence to support Xlear’s claims.

    The lawsuit also stated that researchers at Chapel Hill admitted that without further research it could not conclusively determine that “administering treatment through the nose is the best way to treat COVID-19.”

    Housman said the trade commission cherry picked findings within the lab studies to make them fit its agenda.

    The federal government has warned other companies against promoting nasal spray for treating and preventing COVID-19.

    Blue Willow Biologics, a Michigan biopharmaceutical company that manufactures a nasal antiseptic, and the Miami-based company Halodine, which created a proprietary iodine-based nasal antiseptic swab, both received warning letters earlier this year from the FDA to discontinue their promotion of their nasal products as a safe and effective treatment for COVID-19.

    1. Oh oh! Bleaching your nose? The Russians ordered Trump to say it. Using salt water to cleanse nasal passages has been around forever. Apparently it works for every virus but Covid. That’s similar to hydroxychloroquine, an anti-viral, that works on every virus but Covid.

  24. Abbott And Costello’s ‘Who’s Been Vaccinated?’

    Bud: ‘You can’t come in here!’

    Lou: ‘Why not?’

    Bud: ‘Well because you’re unvaccinated.’

    Lou: ‘But I’m not sick.’

    Bud: ‘It doesn’t matter.’

    Lou: ‘Well, why does that guy get to go in?’

    Bud: ‘Because he’s vaccinated.’

    Lou: ‘But he’s sick!’

    Bud: ‘It’s alright. Everyone in here is vaccinated.’

    Lou: ‘Wait a minute. Are you saying everyone in there is vaccinated?’

    Bud: ‘Yes.’

    Lou: ‘So then why can’t I go in there if everyone is vaccinated?’

    Bud: ‘Because you’ll make them sick.’

    Lou: ‘How will I make them sick if I’m NOT sick and they’re vaccinated.’

    Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’

    Lou: ‘But they’re vaccinated.’

    Bud: ‘But they can still get sick.’

    Lou: ‘So what the heck does the vaccine do?’

    Bud: ‘It vaccinates.’

    Lou: ‘So vaccinated people can’t spread covid?’

    Bud: ‘Oh no. They can spread covid just as easily as an unvaccinated person.’

    Lou: ‘I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore. Look. I’m not sick.

    Bud: ‘Ok.’

    Lou: ‘And the guy you let in IS sick.’

    Bud: ‘That’s right.’

    Lou: ‘And everybody in there can still get sick even though they’re vaccinated.’

    Bud: ‘Certainly.’

    Lou: ‘So why can’t I go in again?’

    Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’

    Lou: ‘I’m not asking who’s vaccinated or not!’

    Bud: ‘I’m just telling you how it is.’

    Lou: ‘Nevermind. I’ll just put on my mask.’

    Bud: ‘That’s fine.’

    Lou: ‘Now I can go in?’

    Bud: ‘Absolutely not?’

    Lou: ‘But I have a mask!’

    Bud: ‘Doesn’t matter.’

  27. Didn’t Even Get a Kiss.
    The screwing we got from 13 Republican members of the House of Representatives.
    They should have just called it the ScrewAmerica bill.

    With the infrastructure bill passed and on Biden’s desk, the Democrat wishlist items listed here are all likely to be added via reconciliation. (Last time it was, “We have to pass it, in order to find out what’s in it.” This time the line is “We have to pass it, before you find out what we put in it.”) Did you not know that passage of the infrastructure bill made amnesty possible for 30 to 40 million illegal aliens? Well, now you do.

    Every Republican who voted for the infrastructure bill should be primaried by a genuine conservative Republican challenger, and removed from office.

    A 10-year amnesty for illegal immigrants, which includes work permits and driver’s licenses and cannot be undone by future administrations for a decade.

    Provides millions of dollars in funding for the IRS to enforce the Biden administration’s plan to review every bank account with $10,000 or more.

    Expands and shores up provisions of Obamacare.

    Eliminates the statutory cap on employment visas, effectively allowing Big Tech companies and other mega-corporations to prioritize hiring foreign workers over American workers.

    Facilitates enforcement of Biden’s vaccine mandate by increasing OSHA penalties on businesses up to $700,000 per violation and provides billions in funding for the Department of Labor to increase enforcement.

    Mandates taxpayer coverage of abortion, leaving the long-agreed upon Hyde amendment out of the bill.

    Provides half a trillion dollars in climate spending, including clean energy tax credits to subsidize solar, electric vehicles, and clean energy production, as well as federal spending on clean energy technology and manufacturing, all while limiting domestic energy production, thereby increasing dependence on Russia and China.

    Provides roughly $400 billion for expanded government childcare and universal pre-K, which pumps millions into failed Head Start programs, excludes support for families who prefer at-home child-care arrangements, and by requiring that preschool teachers have a college degree, will reduce the availability of child-care options.

    A host of new taxes, and a giant tax cut for the rich: by including a repeal on the cap for the state and local tax deduction, Democrats will provide a $30 billion net direct tax cut for the top 5 percent of earners, largely in blue states where the state and local taxes are much higher.
