    1. I clicked off the video when the second example was “Open Range”, an otherwise entertaining western, the gun physics were so over-the-top phony they ruined the movie for me.

      Obviously, “top 10” doesn’t mean ‘best 10’ or ‘most realistic 10’.

      1. I thought the acting by the two principal actors was top notch. But the final gunfight scene was so over the top. Corporate Hollywood glorifies violence to the point of the absurd.

        1. Blame Sam Peckinpah. The final gunfight in The Wild Bunch was the starting point for the now commonplace on-screen bloodbaths. Mind you, the last blowout in his earlier movie, Major Dundee, had quite a body count as well.

    1. The answer?
      Reiner Fuellmich.
      Nuremberg 2.
      Ropes and gallows.

  1. Millions believe in conspiracy theories in Canada
    June 12, 2022

    We recently completed nationwide surveying among 1500 Canadians. The focus was on the levels of trust people have in institutional sources of information, and belief in conspiracy theories. This is the second in a series called “Trust & Facts: What Canadians Believe”

    • 44% (the equivalent of 13 million adults) believe “big events like wars, recessions and the outcomes of elections are controlled by small groups of people working in secret against us”. Almost as many agree “much of our lives are being controlled by plots hatched in secret places

    • 37% (or 11 million) think “there is a group of people in this country who are trying to replace native born Canadians with immigrants who agree with their political views. This is an articulation of what is commonly referred to as replacement theory.

    • 20% believe it is definitely or probably true that “the World Economic Forum is a group of global elites with a secretive strategy to impose their ideas on the world.” Another 37% think it is possibly true or aren’t sure either way.

    1. Funny thing about conspiracy “theories”…. Is, IMO the fact that most of them are FACTUAL.

      “Conspiracy Theory” is just a very convenient method to trash anyone stating this or that. Typical Cancel Culture crap.

    2. Looks like Canadians are smartening up . . . still a ways to go, though. Reality will hit them on the head at some point.

  2. From the CBC via msn: K-becers and the new language bill.

    “When I go elsewhere, I have to speak English. When you come here, speak to me in French,” St-Yves said, noting he’s in favour of additional “pressures” on people to learn French in the province.
    “I’m not against immigration, but when you come here you have to adapt to Quebec.”

    Canadians outside of K-bec (hello Alberta & Saskatchewan) could learn a shit-ton from K-becers who take care of themselves first.
    If the rest of the provinces were like them, the federal government would be a small, weak entity as, in my useless opinion, it should be.

    1. Someone should hit St-Hives up the side of his head and let him know Quebec is part of Canada and 85% of the people speak a language other than Quebec french.

    2. The big difference is that Ottawa has “K-bec’s” back, where the only reason Ottawa would ever be interested in Alberta’s or Sask’s backs is to plunge a knife into them.

      1. With all due respect, K-bec hasn’t one power that every other province can’t also get.

    1. Oh, darn, and here I was hoping it would be about launching political watermelons via, say, trebuchet…..

  3. The Beaverton typically follows the Dear Leader’s guidance and attacks conservatives, but it occasionally does a Babylon Bee:

    “Seeking to ease Canadians fears that our airports are becoming chaotic hellscapes, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised that soon inflation will make travelling so expensive that airports will be basically empty.

    I know the recent viral videos of Pearson have people worried that they will be stuck in the airport for hours on their next vacation,” said Trudeau. “But once the inflation we’re doing nothing about kicks into even higher gear, flights will be so expensive that you won’t even think about going to the airport.”

    “And for the 1% of you still able to afford to fly, our airports will feel totally under-crowded, like an abandoned castle from the Middle Ages!”

  5. Trudeau’s dropping the vaxx mandates on travel next Tuesday. They’re calling it temporary though. Hopefully they drop the cuck masks too.

    1. Why temporary, I wonder. The vaxes do not protect anyone. Still, an interesting development. I wonder what precipitated that?
