  1. If you really want to see dishonest doublespeak in action, you have to head up to Canada, where the government-controlled Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC—Canada’s version of the BBC and NPR rolled into one) put out the chart below attempting to show they are not that dependent on government aid. Notice something odd about it? (If not, look closer at the circled part of the y-axis.)

    1. This is embarrassing for the CBC. Why try to deny something everyone knows is true. If they want to make the case that they are not that dependent on government funding, it should be possible to reduce that funding without severe hardship for them.

      1. Because governments and media across the US and Canada have dropped the mask. Lying brazenly has become the new normal. Wordsmithing partially obscures the obvious, to the stupid.
        The CBC has always been a branch of the Liberal Party

    1. Only a moron goes on The View thinking they are contributing one iota to anything intellectual. Meghan McCain a moron? Well the shoe does fit. She was a prop, only she was too stupid to see it.

    1. Dave; I realize that this is Incredibly stupid to believe but, you must remember who is leading this merry band of idiots. That kind’a says it all…….Steve O

    2. And Cambridge, Ontario allowed Toyota a 17 year exemption on all municipal taxes when it first opened its plant, and it now has a second 17 year exemption since the first one expired. And when the plant opened (May 6, 1986), the first car off the line went to the Toyota Canadian VP, and the second went to the mayor of Cambridge at the time (it was supposedly given to the City of Cambridge, but mysteriously became her property for its lifetime). Imagine being a facility of that size (400 acres), and not having to pay municipal taxes ever.

      1. You mean like:

        – 8 year genocide
        – Maidan was a western coup
        – the Russian language is banned
        – bioweapons labs
        – Ukraine uses genetically modified soldiers
        – battle mosquitos
        – pigeons that carry bioweapons

        Etc

        1. The Russians are losing the war and they will continue to lose the war until they have destroyed Ukraine.

        2. This conflict would be over if you posted more often. You and colonialista are turning into unpatriotic slack asses.
          Get your butts in gear.

        3. Why do you keep posting that same comment after it has been pointed out that these claims are indeed true?

        4. I forgot some:

          – Ukraine has built dirty bombs
          – NATO supplied weapons can not help Ukraine
          – Ukraine wouldn’t be fighting off Russia without western weapons
          – Ukraine shouldn’t exist
          – Ukraine uses chemical weapons

          I love it when their propaganda narratives are contradictory

      2. More:

        – Ukranians are Satanists
        – They’re cannibals that eat children
        – They’re all pagans

        1. You forgot:
          The eight year genocide in Donbas.
          Western special forces sunk Moskva.

  2. They call it the bronze age yet bronze is 88% copper. Not knocking tin, or the advantages of bronze. Just pointing out how important copper has been to mankind for thousands of years. Now about those EVs…

  3. More from the New York Post.

    https://nypost.com/2023/04/21/mayor-eric-adams-says-bidens-migrant-crisis-has-destroyed-nyc/

    Mayor Adams thinks Joe Biden has mishandled the migrant “crisis”. Where the heck is Progressive Pat when you need him/her/they?

    “The latest figures from City Hall show that 34,800 asylum seekers are currently being housed in 104 emergency shelters and eight Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Centers (HERRCs). More than 56,000 have filtered through the Big Apple within the last year.”

    No mention of the border states.

    1. “Reader” already posted that here 10 minutes before you did if you look 3 postings earlier.

    1. UnMe: Not to worry, Alberta will be fine. But, Canada is done like toast. Most Canadian do not realize it or even care for that matter.

      When Trump is elected President the US will, for national security reasons, feel obligated to protect Canadians from the threat of Canadian left-leaning chi-com supporting politicians and their bureaucrats. Alberta, Saskatchewan, Northern BC and the northern territories will be the first to jump ship to become a US territory. The US will in turn roll out the red carpet for them and more.

      It is the beginning of a geo-political realignment of North America for the twenty-first century. The good news is it will all be over very quickly and relatively painlessly. Trudeau, Singh, Notley and a whole cast of others can kiss their 15 minutes of fame goodbye. Borders are going to change. Leaders are going to change. Politics is going to change.

      Canada had its chance and proved itself unwilling and/or unable to be fit for purpose in the twenty-first century. So now change is inevitable.

    2. Might not be a central issue this election but it is ALWAYS an issue and an important one for many voters. I am sure there are other issues to be addressed, but I don’t think she is likely to lose many votes on that one.

      1. She isn’t gaining any and the more she’s talking about non-central issues like her real opponent ie Raging Rachel NOT PM Trudeau, the more she looks like (and is) a space case and the more people aren’t voting for her. Be afraid, Smith may very well lose.

        1. Nope not gonna happen.
          But talking about Space Cases, Biden fills that perfectly and will not win again if he runs.

    1. Did not realize that. Thanks for the reminder. Think I’ll start up the chainsaw, cut down a few trees, and use a tire to start the fire to burn them.

  4. I’m at an interesting phase in my life where I finally have more money than brains.

      1. You forgot the “h” when you described what you thought they were doing in the field. 🙂
