    1. Our backyard apple tree, which for the past 28 years has always been in bloom by Mother’s Day, still hasn’t bloomed.

      1. Spring in Northern Alberta seems to be 3 weeks behind. Global warming is very chilly. Very few trees have leaves.

        1. See? That’s what you get for not paying carbon tax….. Uh-huh…..

    Even orcs eventually catch up.

    1. The Russians treat their people and soldiers with such disdain. Because the sailors died in an accident and not a war there are no veterans benefits for the families. Everyone knows the ship was sunk. Russians are such swine.

      1. Yes, exactly that. Their entire society is build on abuse of power at every level. From family to work to state. They are among the most vile (and cynical) on the planet

  2. I attended a workshop at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the mid-1980s, flying to LAX from Calgary. That was the only airport I’ve ever passed through that had its own police force.

    1. Just wait for the banks, power grid and internet.

      Of course it was hackers

      Don’t be a white Nazi conspiracy nut case

      Jeez…

      It would never be the evil cabal controlling our world and preparing us all to starve.

      Though…

      That’s their favourite way of killing us all in the history books

      Nah….

      We’re to civilized now compared to people long ago?

      1. It was a hacker… this time. But you are right, Captain Alzheimer wants all new cars sold after 2026 to be equipped with the mandatory kill switch.

    1. Huh. Mebbe they shoulda considered that come this election past. And [spit] Boomers are the alleged problem…

  3. “Definition of the day”

    “Religious Fanatic (n): “A person who does what God would do if only He understood the situation.”

    1. Personal wager with you, how soon after june 2 election date we hear reports of increased covid due to crowds voting and so forth and Ontario goes back into Socialist control mode?

    2. “Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath has the China floo!!!”
      She makes a lot of people sick.

    There’s a tone of self-pity in the third, but the concerns are legit.

  5. What’s going on with commenting this morning? Three comments in moderation, try to repost, get the old, “Duplicate comment” msg, yet nothing visible.

    1. The spam filter provider is down so they’re sending everything to moderation, so I’m approving manually at the moment.

      1. I hate to imagine all the gunk you found in that filter.
        I remember back on the farm when the septic tank pump quit working…..

  6. Check, test.

    What’s with all the moderated comments this morning? I’ve had 4 so far & I didn’t even say anything nasty about Kate.

  7. Breaking on BNN-Bloomberg news: the Trudeau government, with Bill-Blair-like speed, has decided to ban Huawei 5G from Canada. It has been reported that 100% of Canadians had forgotten that the federal government has been considering the Huawei 5G issue.

    1. Little bit late, idn’t it? It’s my understanding that most of the infrastructure has already been installed by the cellular companies.

      What now? They all come to Prinz Dummkopf with their hands out?

  8. Further on the Liar Kenney resigning.
