  1. There was an old man (“Mr. William Dove”) who bought the corner of my ex father in law’s lot out at Round Lake Sask, and he’d built a 3 seasons cottage on it and because he didn’t have money to live anywhere else I think he lived there year round. Anyways one night about midnight 4 youths came to his door asking if he could help them change a flat tire out front and they’d be on their way. Because he was who he was, he got dressed and went out and changed the tire for the youths, then they beat him to death with a tire iron over his head and left him near Regina…
    Mr. Dove made, painted, and sold wood “garden gnomes” which he painted and sold to the tourists who visited Bird’s Point Resort at Round Lake, to supplement his pension. His survivors were his wife and handicapped daughter. In a decade, I’ll still be bringing this up from time to time…
    The youths were sentenced in youth court to a couple of years each.
    I would like Mr. Dove’s garden gnomes to be the Mayor and city council rather than an owl, not that I dislike owls, I actually really love owls and think they walk kinda cool too…

    1. “ The youths were sentenced in youth court to a couple of years each. “

      For real? Not hung from their balls in the town square?

    1. The drummer, Floyd Sneed was a Calgarian and Tommy Chong’s brother-in-law. Sneed’s grandfather, born in Louisiana, was a black northern Alberta homesteader. His father was a stereotypical black railway porter.

      1. Yeah … I noted their black drummer in the videos … they were an integrated band … like so many others of my era. Then … Obama called us all systemic racists.

        1. And then there was that redneck band from Georgia, the Allman Brothers, who “integrated” Jaimo as a drummer to help the other white drummer keep the beat

    1. What has to be going through someone’s head to stick a WWI artillery shell up the back door? While mothers might give the “don’t put beans in your ears” speech, what mom anticipates a “don’t put a WWI artillery shell up your ass” speech?

      1. That’s nothing. I hear Don Lemon likes a full scale replica of Hitler’s V-2 rocket shoved up his keister.

      1. With the success of Canada Post, they’re not going to get a lot of circulation or recognition. I don’t recall seeing a stamp on a letter since Christmas 2024.

    1. Cuba has been commie so long nobody remembers how good they had it before. Like Venezuela, Cuba had been one of the richest countries in Latin America before they took a dive into the shithole world. Cubans likely think their country is perfectly normal.

  2. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-ceos-payout-workplace-relationship-spur-governance-upheaval-at-ontario/

    The Globe and Mail is reporting this morning that the head of the board of directors at the CAAT pension plan has been suspended. He is alleged to have approved a $1.2-million payment to CEO Derek Dobson in lieu of annual vacation pay, and approved a horizontal jogging relationship with Dobson and another CAAT staffer. After the approvals were made, three very senior executive officers immediately resigned, leading to office turmoil.

    The CAAT is an Ontario based union representing technical workers at community colleges plus other Ontario employees. The Globe reports that none of this has been reported to employees at the pensuion plan, nor has anything been mentioned on the CAAT web site.

  3. HOLLYWOOD – the LA Basin tribe responds
    Clay Travis on X: “A Native American tribe says that Billie Eilish’s mansion is on their stolen land. She must immediately hand title to her mansion over to the tribe and move. She stole their land. Unacceptable.” / X

    1. Lessee how the US handles child sexual predators. I’m betting it ain’t gonna be catch & release.

      1. I wouldn’t take that bet; we have crazy judges too. One just ruled Trump can’t deport illegals because it would be “racist.”

  4. Karen Bass or a plastic owl? Tough call. Hegel might suggest Karen Owl and a plastic bass, might be worth a try.

  5. SpaceX is combining with XAI to form a company valued at $1.25 trillion. That is almost the entire value of gold in the USA and that is why we can’t have a gold-backed currency.
