August 31, 2023: Reader Tips

It has become a tradition for me to play this song before returning after a long journey. While my flight from Heathrow to Boston today isn’t exactly “home”, my adopted country of America definitely is. It has been an amazing time to be away, and a privilege to have worked remotely out of 10 European countries over 46 days, It also will be so wonderful to return to “normal” life again too.

Your tips, please, your tips!

  1. Welcome.back..I apologize if my comments towards you were considered disparaging. I owe so much to Kate and her band of Mostly Merry Mostly Men for the time and effort to.scour the information world and bring us valuable knowledge. To grossly paraphrase the Right Honorable Winston Churchill ‘Never in the field of human (information) conflict have so many owed so much to so few.

    1. Agreed! I confess that I learn more accurate news from this website than from MSN or any of the main stream media.

  2. So you send able bodied men to the frontlines. They comeback either in pieces, or missing pieces, or PTSD (to be fair just few months of regular life in russia would give a normal person PTSD). Migrant seasonal workers no longer come to your country because you have been conscripting them into penal battalions. So how do you solve the labour shortage?

    You solve it the russian way:

    Orcs will always orc.

    1. Don’t remind me! [sigh]
      I’m convinced that the “pope” is deliberately, and purposely intent on driving the church towards a schism.
      For the record, he is NOT my pope! The man is a minion of the enemy as far as I’m concerned.

      1. Agreed, I grew up catholic and left the faith decades ago. However, I have always maintained solid respect for the last few popes. Not this one. He is Chomsky with a cross.

  3. Welcome home, Robert. Beautiful song. Good to have you back. Be sure to register to vote. All you need is a drivers license in CA …

  4. EU gas supply: When Russia went into self-destruct mode (SPOILER: no “schadenfrozen” for schweinie-lovers this year)
    https://www.dw.com/en/eu-gas-supply-when-russia-went-into-self-destruct-mode/a-66668256

    “Russia has lost its position as a major international gas exporter, and it has lost it forever” “If Putin plans to build pipelines to China with the same capacity as the pipelines that go into Europe, he will have to wait for a couple of decades”

    1. Man some of you folks have some strange ideas on what is or is not happening in the world.

          1. I’m not sure why, but it’s probably the same reason why they choose to represent themselves by acronyms that stand for e. g. Very Oligophrenic Weird Guy.

          2. Apparently, if CNN, CBC, BBC say that 2+2=4 “Robert of Ottawa” will say that everyone who concurs sounds like an idiot.

          3. Robbie, so when CBC reported that Argentina won the World Cup you were celebrating the French victory?

    1. It is nearly unbelievable. And on the first of never their Wall street buddies will be held accountable for bank loan fraud that brought us the recent and 2008 bank collapses. Ridiculous doesn’t even begin to describe it. Yet the media still runs with it.

  5. Hon. Marci Ien, minister of something-or-other, opines that the decisions by the Saskatchewan and New Brunswick governments to limit sexual mutilation of children threatens the children’s lives:
    https://www.cp24.com/news/saskatchewan-new-brunswick-naming-changes-means-life-or-death-for-trans-kids-ien-1.6542273

    Recall that the Hon. Ien successfully made the life-career leap from Liberal CTV news reporting to Liberal party politics, and now to Liberal governance.

    1. Marci Ien should be ashamed of herself. Then again, I think she is being told what to say and do. I believe she sponsored a drag event on Parliament Hill a couple of months ago. So, the Minister for Women’s issues sponsors an event that mocks women. Looks like in the Liberal government women take a back seat to the interests of mentally deranged men.
