    1. I guess we are not suppose to notice the homosexual nature of issue enveloping the Calgary Stampede?

    2. It sounds like the keepers allowed or even encouraged one male to rape and murder the other one because they wanted the prestige of having gay animals.

      1. He wanted his pennis back … but couldn’t have it. Sorry. Takeadichtfrommes aren’t reversible. Oh! And men make really UGLY women.

    1. 100% failure rate you say? Appears to be true. One of my cousin’s grand-daughters thought she was a dude. Now she’s dead at around 20. Has any mental health professional ever came to a somewhat obvious conclusion than trans people are mentally ill and should be treated for mental illness? Cutting off their balls to treat a problem between their ears makes no sense.

  1. I can’t top Bunny’s two excellent links but I heard on the radio that Gilbault lost his motion at the G20 to ban unabated fossil fuels by (2050 I think I heard). The closest I could come to this good-news story was this sad little CBC article.

  2. The songs endure, as the Eagles were innovative at the time, now classic rock, with lyrics one can actually listen and dance to.
    RIP Randy Meisner.

  3. “Dumpster Diving NASA Climate Scientist Peter Kalmus: ‘Biden must declare a climate emergency’ – Admit he has ‘bottomless grief’ because ‘we are losing Earth’ & seeks to ‘end’ fossil fuels.”

    You can see where this guy is going:

    “I have no doubt that fossil fuel executives and lobbyists – and those who chose to stand with them – will, in the future, be considered criminals. …”

      1. VOWG – Yes but think of how low our CO2 emissions will be. Using Peter Kalmus’ logic, if people who support oil and gas are criminals and people who reduce humanity’s carbon emissions are heroes, then Hitler, Stalin and Mao were in the running for environmentalists of the 20th century.

        Good one. Love the comments, too. People in the western world simply can’t understand that level of patriotism because they have never lost *over 20 million* of their people to war.

    1. rrd – when he said recent model Canyons are as big as a full-size pickup of the 70s I tuned out. I had 9 teenagers in the cab of my dad’s old half ton and it only had one row of seats. Try that I’m a Canyon with two rows of seats. They don’t make 4 cylinder stick shift quarter-ton pickups because not enough buyers want a tiny gutless gas guzzling utility vehicle with less cargo space than a 1970 Impala and not big enough for three adults. Not when you can get a Canyon with a 310-hp turbocharged 2.7-liter inline-four engine with 430 pound-feet of torque bolted to an eight-speed automatic transmission, and, 7500 pounds of towing capacity.
      However, with the western governments’ move to eliminate personal vehicles, even those old 4 cylinder quarter -tons will be in demand.

      1. I grew tired of waiting for a new Canyon to arrive to an Edmonton area dealership and elected to go with a new Honda Ridgeline. Not to mention the Canyon/Colorado is in huge demand with the recent redesign, I think I made the right choice. Admittedly the Ridgeline is barely a pickup,but after 1600 kms, it’s a solid build, plenty of power for my needs and if I need to run out and buy a new appliance I can haul it home. I had my heart set on a Canyon Denali, but I got the Ridgeline Touring edition for over $10K less. Safe bet that the Canyons will be going for full MSRP. (Or higher like the new Corvette buyers are enjoying)

  4. I got a guitar amp back from repairs and found a list of needed parts written on the back of an Eagles ticket. I was concerned my amp had been fixed by an Eagles fan.
    As one critics said – slick, glossy and and false.
    Still, I do remember getting drunk and zoning out to Desperado.

  5. Sinead O’Connor passed away a few days ago as well. A troubled lass you might say… talented just the same.

    1. If you don’t get misty listening to Last Day of Our Acquaintance, there’s a hole in your heart.
      That said, Bennet and Meisner are bigger loses, hers is more tragic at just 56.

  6. A word about the racial makeup of Toronto’s street violence. We know that the perp murdered a police dog (Bingo), and he was on the run after murdering one
    Sophonias Haile, aged 24:
    https://www.durhamradionews.com/archives/172336l

    The perp is one Kenneth Grant, aged 44, who had shot at police before the police set Bingo on the guy. If one looks up “Sophonias Haile” on Linkedin, one finds that he is black, a liberal arts graduate from York University who, once graduating, undertook practical computer courses to become employable.

    No mention about the race of perp Kenneth Grant. But white on black murders are exceedingly rare, one would think Mr. Grant is black. But one can be sure the corporate media will be disinterested in covering the handling of justice in this case. Street crime in Toronto is not that important to the six-figure-salaried media suits.

    1. AI – great analogies and comparisons but holy crap it’s much longer than I thought it would be. It should be mandatory reading in every enlightened liberal arts history class. And at SDA and Wattsupwiththat.

      1. Yeah, it’s a lengthy read…but if I said that up front, nobody would bother with it.

        And I agree…better yet, every grade 12 class.

        It’s absolute insanity, no other way to describe this climate change crap!!! We’re arriving at the stage now where comparisons with the Inquisitions are completely justified.

  7. “Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says if a Calgary medical clinic begins charging a fee for faster access to a family doctor, it will be shut down, fined or have medicare payments from the province withheld.”

    https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/alberta-premier-threatens-sanctions-clinic-set-to-charge-fees

    So to be clear, the premier who wants to pose as Albertan Boudicca has prioritized serving an insane agreement in service to an insane medical system over the rights of Albertans. Everyone knows that whole ‘provincial sovereignty’ push was Kabuki right?

    Also: Ford > Smith Ford Nation > Prairie Populism

    1. The doctor is a Bolshevik mole creating havoc. Don’t you ever read anything? Or is the ignorance deliberate?

      1. I’m calling 1-800-BS. You better have some strong evidence to back that up and I am quite sure you don’t.

        Not that it even matters. Wouldn’t change a thing!

          1. IT. DOESN’T. MATTER.

            The health system is collapsed, and you’re going on about some NDP psyop. This is why you fail and will continue to.

  8. “The Liberals are trailing the Tories by six points in the electorally-essential region of Ontario — 39 per cent to 33 per cent — and the news gets worse as a regional breakdown of the numbers suggests the Conservatives are leading the Liberals by 12 points in the crucial battlegrounds of Greater Toronto and Hamilton.”

    “The only part of the country where the Liberals find themselves comfortably ahead of the Tories is Quebec, where they sit at 30 per cent, 10 points ahead of the Conservatives but two points behind the Bloc Québécois.”

    https://nationalpost.com/news/local-news/trudeau-liberals-in-trouble-across-much-of-the-country-poll-suggests/wcm/f2e0a819-3031-464c-b6de-2c82f926a8cb

    We didn’t need further evidence that Toronto was a better bet for the Conservatives than Quebec and that their focus on the latter was insane, but we got it anyway.

    1. UnMe – it only matters if an election is called. If one is called, the big MSM election machine will kick in telling Canadians that the wild fires will burn the country to the ground if the Conservatives are elected. They could still win though because who the hell actually listens to the MSM?
      But I agree that more focus on Toronto is warranted. They can’t ignore Quebec of course. Thanks for the good news on polls.

      1. PH2

        Agreed that polls don’t matter.

        When Trudeau eventually calls an election, expect to hear:
        – abortion, abortion, abortion
        – guns, guns, guns
        – only Liberals will respect the Canada Health Act
        etc.

  9. Good op-ed by Colby Cosh describing how our uber left-wing “justice” system is killing our small retailing business:
    https://nationalpost.com/opinion/small-retailers-will-pay-the-price-for-liberal-crime-policies

    During my first three years as an low-income immigrant, from 1970 to 2974,I lived in a hippie-artisan section of Ottawa. The hippies would often shoplift, and their motto was “never shoplift from a small, immigrant-run business”. Meaning: they would beat the crap out of you.

    Which leads me to this anecdote from about 30-40 years ago. A Vietnamese fruit and vegetable store in Toronto was repeatedly shoplifted by a young black man. The owners called the police, but all they would do was to come after a delay, write a report and do nothing. After repeated thefts the owners got fed up and grabbed the guy, beat him up, hogtied the thief, then called police. So the police arrested the OWNERS and let the perp go. This raised a ruckus in the media (this happened a while ago, when the corporate media actually opposed crime). As I recall the Vietnamese shopkeepers got off.
