    1. He’s stated some very interesting things with regards to those Russian funds held by Euroclear. I tend to agree with him in general, and in a lot of particulars. I do tend to agree with him that the money has already been spent/allocated; now their playing a shell game (and a side benefit for them of getting rid of the unanimity vote within the EU).
      Be an interesting thought experiment to put up his comments with the news about that new “Defense Bank” the EU/NATO/Commonwealth wants to set up in Canada.

      Things are starting to break apart — dangerous times ahead.

    2. He’s the second person today who I’ve heard heavily blaming the Brits for all bad things (ABT). As if the US wasn’t involved the Maidan “colour revolution” or had CIA posts on the Russian border? Or the Brits, alone throughout history, invented the Divide-and-Rule approach to politics.

      Is this the start of a big US Washing-of-Hands? But you need a towel to dry your hands on, and the current UK government is a door mat.

  1. Bonus: Man explains why most intellectuals are broke, liberal, and pretend to hate capitalism in America

    A short spot on analysis. Highly recommended. Ever wondered about the hows and whys there are people like Coyne, Kinsella and a host of other left leaning pundits are always giving their two cents when no one asked for their opinion in Western society and not anywhere else?
    Think Coyne has ever held a hammer in his hands?

    1. Exactly. Reminds me of that journo at a protest a while back who tweeted a pic of earplugs on the street, thinking they were rubber bullets.

      This is why libs hate the trades. They want the young in the first quarter century of their life to be fully brainwashed into their communist ideology via the indoctrination industrial complex so that they never really work in settings that expose them to the realities of how the world actually works.

    2. Speaking of Kinsella, a man who berates people for not getting COVID shots, and who ardently supports climate change prevention politicians; well he’s just been to England where he caught the British ‘super flu’.

      Must admit this made my day.

      But I’ll offer this advice to Warren; it’s time for another COVID shot. And if you hadn’t flown, you’d not be sick.

    3. Burton, an uncharitable man would call them intellectual whores, but that is to defame whores.

    1. First question: Was it an electric bus? #2: When was the last passenger let off? #3: Await investigative outcome.

  2. NATO chief warns of war with Russia:
    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/nato-europe-russia-war-ukraine-mark-rutte-b2883104.html

    Not to restart a fight here on this board, but the NATO chief (and France’s Macron and the UK’s defense minister) have been beating war drums in the last few days.I must object to this, since these three fellows — all part of the Eurocrat establishment — are telling people to prepare for war. Both France’s and Britain’s military have become seriously weaker under Eurocrat leadership, but now they beat the war drums.

    Please do not flame me, but I am a pro-democracy person who follows Karl Popper’s The Open Society and Its Enemies teachings. So I oppose Vladimir Putin. But more and more Putin is becoming trapped: Much of YouTube commentary (not Canada’s media cartel) have been discussing Russia’s mega-prohlems with its economy and its deteriorating difficulties on the Ukrainian front. But Putin trapped is dangerous.I suspect if things get worse for Russia he might introduce tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine. Today is like Europe in 1913 before WW1.

    Why the Eurocrats talk up war is beyond me.

    1. “Why the Eurocrats talk up war is beyond me.”

      You’ve never heard about Putin threatening nuclear war every week. Sorry Europeans don’t have their heads up their backsides, ignoring Putin’s threats..

      1. I agree that Putin has never threatened nuclear points. Two points. One, Russia has kept its small theater nuclear weapons, whereas the West has not. So the possibility of using them is there, and perhaps Putin would use them as a surprise — say if he felt cornered. Second, Ukraine has already suffered what is a small nuclear bomb, the Chernobyl disaster. The poor working slugs back then suffered the terrible effects of it. Trump is certainly right trying to end this war.

        1. Russia has kept its small theater nuclear weapons, whereas the West has not. Lie. Define “small”. Also, the Russians have the Oreshnik, no need of “small” atomic weapons.
          Ukraine has already suffered what is a small nuclear bomb, the Chernobyl disaster. Not relevant. It was part of the USSR at the time. Now, it wants to become par tof the EUSSR?

    2. … the NATO chief (and France’s Macron and the UK’s defense minister) have been beating war drums in the last few days Then let them be first to the breach.

    1. I don’t know who these wankers represent, but to comply, let’s give them tepees, or wigwams.

  3. Kate, I’m on a new browser.

    I just had Firefox crash for the last time and have given up on it since it wiped out everything. Firefox had become quite a memory hog too.

    1. The claim is that it is part of Treaty 5, not every band gets this. Also, it sounds like there was housing provided in the past, it just wasn’t maintained. I’d suggest that home maintenance classes be given before the keys are handed over, otherwise in 30 years the bands will be in the same situation they are in today.

      1. I put this in the wrong sub-thread:
        I don’t know who these wankers represent, but to comply, let’s give them tepees, or wigwams.

        1. I just wish Carney would respect Canada’s cultural heritage, that now that he has proven to be totally useless and just a drain on society, he should go sit on an ice floe. 🙂

  4. You don’t hate the MSM nearly enough …

    https://mol.im/a/15380637

    Now, the DM is calling the BLM thief and grifter … a “pastor”. Yes, the DM is trying to smear Christian religion as utterly corrupt … and not BLM.

    Disgusting.

  5. Doing the jobs, Canadians won’t!

    1. Oh come on, such thingds take years of consideration. Don’t be hasty and you will eventually forget about it.
