      How do you come across all your BULLSCHIFF, does the gubbermint send you links. Or are you stupid like the COLON, and use natural talent?

    1. Flight of the Morons.
      The entitled chattering class are World-Class morons.
      70,000 of these morons fly to Dubai in private jets and each of them individually, with those flights, probably generated more carbon dioxide emissions than most working class people will generate in their entire lives. Hypocrites of the first order.

  1. Icelanding eruptions starting again. A 2-link twitter referencing post just disappeared (probably into moderation) but the lava fountain is reportedly a ribbon over 4km long.

    1. How long do you suppose it will be until we hear government scientists claim the eruptions were caused by global warming? It won’t be long.

      Greenhole: “You are causing a catastrophe. You are causing deaths.”
      Citizen: “How am I causing deaths?”
      Greenhole: “By being alive.”

      1. And my response to greenholes is, “okay greenhole, you go first.”

        The rest of us will go after you. Honest.

  2. NoFrills in my town and the next city over still has Campbells soup on sale…a dollar to a dollar fifty less a can. I talked with the stockboys while I was raiding the shelves and one said he couldn’t remember the last time the price was so low.

    I bought crazy amounts of cans because next year, they will only cost more. So this is your Reader Tip..

    And apparently, despite the shaved head, I guess I appear very friendly and appraochable…which I am. There were a lot of people that just talked with me. Several! Maybe it’s the holidays. Despite how angry and pissed off I am, there’s still friendliness. I am very friendly and still childlike cute. The Korean girls told me I have a young face.

    And I got to talk to pretty blonde girl who is really quiet but talks to me a lot now. That was great. And I saw my favorite cashier, incredibly sweet. I came in one day and she told the other cashiers I was her favorite customer. I was there her first day when they were training her and I was funny, friendly and cute myself. That made an impression.

    She came by on Halloween, I went out to give candy and she was ‘Hey, I know this guy!’

    I just blurted out ‘You’re my favorite!’ And she replied ‘You’re my favorite too!’ In front of her 5 friends. She’s too cute and adorable so apparently there are some Frills… I really hope she’s not jabbed.

    Obviously, too young. But very sweet and cute and when I see her my day is a little bit happier. And I have the same effect. Good for me.

    I wished her a very happy Christmas today and went on my way. Friendly,pretty girls always make the day better. Smart business people should somehow take notice of that.

    But anyways, Campbells soups at NoFrills are at a great price.

    1. ^^^
      That was fun.
      As we get older and begin to seriously realize it I have learned the very real difference between an old fool and a dirty old man. I’m an old fool who’s wise enough and, moreover, sincere enough not to cross the line. Yes , an easy smile, a pretty face, and a quick whit are definitely shameless commodities.

      1. I’m neither.

        I am friendly, talkative and somehow still cute.

        I make their days better. They improve mine.

    1. Within a year the new show your talking about will be a full blown socialist platform,it’s well on its way now.As the former host used to say Vote with your feet quit supporting the show and station.

    2. Well With zero surprise whatsoever, the MSM is calling said interaction at Eatons Square, one between a Non islamic person and that masked sack of Islamic filth.

      No mention whatsoever of said commentary being directed to one of Toronto’s “finest”…..of course.

  3. It’s “reader tips” time again. Tonight, the moment you open the door, two stinking piles of dog shit are waiting for you to step in.

  4. Canadian frigate HMCS Ottawa sails back to Britain Columbia with a borrowed transponder:
    https://bc.ctvnews.ca/robbing-peter-to-pay-paul-canadian-navy-warship-sails-home-on-borrowed-transponder-1.6692433

    …so our navy borrowed the HMCS Winnipeg’s transponder; the crew didn’t know how to change the software for the borrowed transponder to read “Ottawa”; so other ships thought the HMCS Winnipeg was returning to Canada. The HMCS Winnipeg is currently laid up for life-extention repair.

    Justhin’s navy vs. China’s navy.

  5. Office distress rates in Washington surpass those in San Francisco.

    https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/property/washington-area-office-default-risk-surpasses-san-francisco

    The real estate data firm TREPP reports that 72% of Washington real estate and 71% of that in San Francisco fall into the area of “loans of concern”. These “criticised” bank loans, are described as “backed by properties with high vacancies, expiring leases, maturing debt or other red flags for refinancing or repayment.”

    The only other area with greater than 50% concern loans is Seattle.

    The reason is migration of high-tech and government workers away from office buildings to a work-at-home situation. Washington is particularly vulnerable because the government has been more lenient AND is now facing cut-backs.

    Washington, San Francisco and Seattle. I wonder what those three cities have in common?

  6. I have one comment to the author with respect to

    “In a perfect world, I would be anti-gun. But I live in the real world. As long as any bad guy, whether a despotic dictator or a psychotic mass shooter can legally or illegally get a gun, I should not be denied the right to obtain my own.”

    Nothing ever goes back into Pandora’s box. Ever.

  7. I read on an automotive blog (sorry can’t find the link) that there are no 2024 trucks on dealer lots yet because they can’t get rid of the 2023 models. I can’t confirm or deny but I do recall next model year vehicles being available before the end of year. If you click on a link to the “new” 2024 GMC Canyon, the link takes you to the “new” 2023 GMC Canyon.

    1. No surprise there Steve…one only need look at sticker prices for Pickups….Beyond laughable. Who da F can afford to pay 75-115k for a BNIB Truck..??

      Only folks that I know of in Calgary buying trucks are those involved in the Oil & Gas Industry.

  8. David Krayden is a fine conservative writer, and here he writes about the “two solitudes”…
    https://archive.is/2023.12.17-221048/https://www.theepochtimes.com/opinion/david-krayden-the-two-solitudes-are-ideological-in-todays-canada-5548362

    …I.e. elite establishment Canada vs. conservative-counterculture Canada.

    My sort-of Christmas-y story for this year. It speaks to the poverty of small-c conservative groups in Canada. Way back around 2010 or 2011, or perhaps earlier, I had a display table at a Manning Conference for my “newsletter” I ran back then. David Krayden was running the display table next to mine, where at the time he was working for a nondescript conservative “think tank” — actually an organization of two people, Mr. Krayden and his boss.

    The think tank was poorly run, and Mr. Krayden mentioned to me that over the last number of weeks he was not getting paid. So I gave him a peop talk (at the time I was a well-paid university professor). I told him bluntly that he should start looking for work elsewhere, since missing pay-cheques is a brutal red flag. I told him the conservative movement in Canada had a thin job market, unlike the rich, government- and foundation-finnanced leftist side.

    So Krayden soon after, I was glad to see, secured a job as the Ottawa stringer for the US-based Daily Caller. Today Mr. Krayden is a self-employed, freelance writer, writing for the Epoch Times, the Western Standard and other media. He runs his own podcast as well. So he has stayed to his conservative roots despite the weakness of the movement. Admittedly, there are many small conservative media around, and the writing is very good. But we conservatives should try to finance the good media where possible. We after all are Canada’s counter-culture.

    The poorly-run “think tank” he worked for long ago has long since folded.

  9. ‘As long as there is Israel in the Middle East, there will be no peace’: Montreal Hamas supporter”

    Because everywhere else in the middle east is in the happy and peaceful zone with ribbons, bows and puppy dogs.

  10. Canada to send a few staff officers, its contribution to the U.S. naval task force in the Red Sea:
    https://globalnews.ca/news/10178169/red-sea-shipping-attacks-canada-us-operation/

    There is no indication as yet as to whether the two staff officers will help convene meetings, assist in diversity initiatives or what exactly. Defence Minister Bill Blair and Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly will keep us informed, as to further developments, via news conferences on the CBC and CTV new networks.

  11. The stupid is strong in New York.

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/gov-kathy-hochul-signs-controversial-legislation-to-create-slavery-reparations-commission/

    “Let’s be clear about what reparations means. It doesn’t mean fixing the past, undoing what happened. We can’t do that. No one can. But it does mean more than giving people a simple apology 150 years later. This bill makes it possible to have a conversation, a reasoned debate about what we want the future to look like. And I can think of nothing more democratic than that,” Hochul said.
