    1. “Russia says it will be issuing demanding an Unconditional Surrender to from the Ukrainian Parliament.”

    2. Surrender demands generally don’t work out well for the Ruϟϟischeschweinen Pediration – ask the crew of the cruiser Moskva… Oh wait, you can, ask – they are all dead (or most of them).

        1. You don’t have enough brainpower to get it, do you? OK, let me dumb it down: 1) the offer for the Ukrainians on the Snake Island to surrender was radioed from Moskva, 2) that ship was sunk shortly afterwards, 3) what does it suggest would happen to someone who demanded Ukraine would surrender while it was still capable of fighting?

          1. Well, that is pretty dumb. When millions die in a war I guess the same stupid rational can be used. Once again, one ship.

          2. That “one ship” was the flagship of the Ruϟϟischeschweinen Black Arse (officially Black Sea) fleet, which they positioned as “aircraft-carrier killer”. If one of their most formidable ships failed so comically, why would anything else they have work better?

          3. “And I will remember “the seemingly unlimited arms shipments will soon end”. What are you going to say if Ukraine receives another shipment?”

            I’m going to say something like “look up the definition of the word ‘soon’, and then compare it to the word ‘immediately’…”

            (then I’m going to laugh)

        2. “Silly comment. One ship, at war?”

          Worse than that, the Moskva was a guided missile cruiser built for air and sea superiority, and was not even equipped with land attack missiles.

          Doesn’t matter. That was then….this is now.

          The western world has had enough of this, and the seemingly unlimited arms shipments will soon end. It’s over. Start the negotiations now.

          1. Sure, “then” it was the second ship they lost and they were blocking Ukrainian trade routes, “now” they lost 20% of their Black Arse fleet and what’s left would not venture west of Crimea.

            And I will remember “the seemingly unlimited arms shipments will soon end”. What are you going to say if Ukraine receives another shipment?

      1. Gaza is just one of many places with tunnels. What will Russia find when it clears the tunnels under Ukraine?

      1. “Kishida is owned by WEF.”

        They know, pedo-globalists try to hang together or hang separately.

    1. Caught the At Issues segment on the CBC Nationsl last night, discussing Bong’s profound testimony at the Election Interference Commisdion. Rosemary Barton, a Trudeau mouthpiece, headed the panel. With her was Chantal Herbert of the Toronto Star, a Liberal newspaper. Balancing Chantal Herbert was Althea Raj, of the Liberal Toronto Star.

      And filling out the panel was Kelly Cyderman of the Globe and Mail, arguably one of the most anti-Conservative opinion writers at the Globe. But she discusses Western Canads issues at the paper, not national or international issues. The Globe has been the lead media outlet exposing the Trudeau government’s pro-China policies in Canada. It has a large, hard-working Ottawa bureau, yet the CBC plucks a non-expert from Alberta, another staunch Liberal to boot.

      So CBC News, in discussing Trudeau’s performance at the Commission, has an all-womyn, all Liberal panel.

      This is supposed to be a new post.

      1. If things work out with PP and the cbc is put to rest they will still wonder why,what did we do wrong?

  1. The Truman Show

    “It is on Day 10,909 of Truman’s life that things begin to change. As he’s getting ready for work, he greets his neighbors across the street (Fritz Dominique, Angel Schmiedt, and Nastassja Schmiedt), with his traditional greeting of, “Good morning! And in case I don’t see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good night”, before a mysterious object falls from the sky and lands near his car.”

  2. I took my first programming class at a linear accelerator lab at the U of S in 1970 at the age of 13, bought my first computer (an Apple Ii) in 1980, my second computer (a Mac with 512K Ram manually upgraded to 1 M) in 1985, graduated from engineering in 1987 after learning Fortran and assembly programming on a PDP 11, learned Unix in 1988 with Informix as network database specialist, learned Pascal and other SQL languages, managed a HP System V and Sun Microsystems BSD cluster as administrator for 5 years ( the company also had a Foxboro mainframe with 1 M of core memory with disk pack storage and raster graphics – I still have a head crash sample on the wall of my office and a piece of defunct core) so I learned both OpenLook and Motif and then moved onto Windows (the first version) and learned C, C++, C#, as well as Basic. So that video strikes a very familiar cord with me as I have experienced most of it. I even sold PCs and Macs for a period of about 6 months when the PC wars were hot in 1985. I still have a Timex Sinclair CPM machine kicking around with an original Apple II and the Mac (with the signatures of Steve Jobs and the Woz on the inside of the case). So yes, I am as nerdy as they come. Thanks, Kate.

    1. I am a big fan of Pascal and still do most of my coding in it (Delphi 12). I was given a book on Pascal in 1982 by a soccer buddy who was doing his Masters in Comp Sci and said everyone should learn programming from a structured language first, then branch out. I picked up FORTRAN, Basic, C, C++, Assembler over the years but I still like Pascal because I can look at code written 10 years ago and figure it out quickly. With C it takes a few years just to figure out if it was written in C, C++, C#, C.NET or whatever flavor of C is in fashion. My biggest mistake still is mixing up pointers and what they point to. Remember direct memory access on the PC? Segment and Offset? Or printer drivers?

  3. Chorus Entertainment reported another loss and a decline in revenue this past earnings quarter:

    If one watches the Global national news, it’s almost indistinguishable from its CBC and CTV counterparts. But up to last year it at Sam Cooper on staff, who along with the Globe and Mail’s Robert Fife and Steven Chase has lead the investigative reporting on the China spying and intervention in Csnada. After Mr. Cooper was sued by Liberal MP Han Dong for slander, Global news gave him the heave ho. I do not know if Stewart Bell, another fine investigative reporter, still works for Global.

    I would be a bit surprised if Chorus Entertainment and the National Post go belly up during the forthcoming recession. Canada’s corrupt media will become more one sided.

    1. “Global national news, it’s almost indistinguishable from its CBC and CTV”

      You mean indistinguishable from Pravda?

    1. I forgot to mention, the original title to OJ’s book was: “How I Wasted My Bitch Wife, Her Lover and Got Away With It!”

  4. Russian Oil Is Trading Above The G7 Price Cap Everywhere
    According to data from Argus Media, whose price assessments are followed by some G-7 nations involved in the cap, Russian flagship Urals grade oil is now selling for $75 a barrel at the point it leaves ports in the Baltic Sea and Black Sea. A Treasury official told Bloomberg that US officials are tracking the price increase, which they attribute to broader geopolitical dynamics, as the alternative – admitting they are idiots, would be a bit too introspective.

  5. The ultra woke court of Ontario has dictated: everyone has the right, at taxpayer expense, to add a penis to the vagina and uterus you were born with, even if you have to be flown to the U.S. for the costly operation. The court ignored the fact that Canada’s soviet-style health care system cannot even provide doctors or timely surgeries to millions of Canadians for basic healthcare in prioritizing this expensive surgery for a special individual.

    “Ontario’s publicly funded health insurance plan must pay for a special procedure in Texas for a non-binary person seeking gender-affirming care, the province’s Divisional Court has ruled.

    The procedure, not available in Ontario, involves receiving a vagina while still keeping a penis.

    The 3-0 ruling by Ontario’s Divisional Court this week is the first from a court in that province on gender-affirming care, and in particular, on treatment for non-binary people, said lawyer John McIntyre, who was involved in the case. He said he was not aware of a similar ruling elsewhere in Canada.

    Two years ago, an adult known in court documents as K.S. requested Ontario Health Insurance Plan funding for the surgery in Texas, saying they did not want to invalidate their non-binary identity, or increase the risk of urinary incontinence and orgasm dysfunction, by having their penis removed.”

    1. He has to have a way to launder tax payer money to pay for weapons for Khalistan separatists in India.
