    1. It seems that every two or three Rex articles, I have to look up a word or phrase.

      Just one of the many things that I enjoy about reading his works. He is a true artisan of the English language.

  2. My humble précis of Rex’s editorial…
    Blackie is the proverbial “dog in the manger,” with apologies to dogs, all of whom are more human than Blackie.
    That was one of Rex’s best, allusive, pieces.
    Happy New Year to all of you lovely SDA (Smart, Delightful Adults) people.
    So many of you lend me and all of us Hope. Perhaps even the irksome Trolls may come to their atrophied senses and see that hopeful and informed stance.
    Ok, back to my dram of year-end whiskey. Cheers!

      1. Maikeru,
        Ye anticipate Robbie!
        It’s just a drappie in our ee’
        The cocks may craw, the day may daw,
        But aye, we’ll taste the barley Bree!

  3. Canada’s current PM was born on Justin Trudeau Day, 1971, to a couple 30 years apart in age.
    Justice Minister Trudeau had previously posited that the state had no place in the bedrooms of the nation.
    History bear out that the bedroom should have no place in the state of the nation

    1. “History bear out that the bedroom should have no place in the state of the nation”

      Neither should Studio 54.

    3. Little Brother Sacha was born on Christmas day two years later, which suggests PET may have only gotten it once a year.

      1. Yeah right maybe with Maggie but she was doing the Stones and he was doing Babs and other celebs. Juthtin does look a lot like Fidel though, doesn’t he? A marriage made in heaven!

    1. Such a pessimist. Try looking for hope, inspiration, and contentment in simple things – like old TV shows. Dallas, for example.

      1. Dallas!? Imported bullshit, once we got cable.
        How about the old days of rabbit ears on TV sets with the the Forest Rangers, or Don fucking Messers Jubillee. Hell, even Hymn Sing till Ed and Bonanza. Then God Save the Queen and Indian Pattern till Monday’s Hog Report…etc.
        You know, when this was a country, under a God And Queen, complete with moose, beaver, the Union Jack, and birchbark canoes to portage rivers, est ti, caulis tabernac.

        1. I would add Tommy Hunter and his various Canadian talented guests. Howie the turtle and friends.

          bverwey

    2. Well Mr. Teach: long no more. If a nation is a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language then Canada is not a nation. Has it ever been? We are all rank strangers in this liberal multi-cult paradise.

      I wandered again to my home in the mountains
      Where in youth’s early dawn I was happy and free
      I looked for my friends but I never could find them
      I found they were all rank strangers to me
      Everybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger
      No mother or dad not a friend could I see
      They knew not my name and I knew not their faces
      I found they were all rank strangers to me.
      Now they’ve all moved away said the voice of a stranger
      To a beautiful home by a bright crystal sea
      And some day I’ll meet them all up in Heaven
      Where no one will be a rank stranger to me.

  6. Why does anybody give a rip about CBC? Per Lorne Gunter (Dec 18/2021 -Toronto Sun) their viewership is 5% of Canadians. Maybe most of those folks vote, but surely not all just Liberals. And most of them are over a certain age. Young folks probably couldn’t care less about CBC.

    1. I laughed at that too. Those dates are verrrry interesting. Then again Maggie isn’t sure Justin was hers so why should Pierre. Eventually Justin will be gone just remembered as to why women shouldn’t take drugs during pregnancy

  9. If he wasn’t a Trudeau, he’d be a genial waiter at the neighbourhood pub, pretending to care about your life to bump up the tip.

    As for Rex, I always thought maybe he was one of those gargoyles on the parliament building that fell off in the Great Gale of 1879 and came to life as a pundit.

    1. If he wasn’t a Trudeau, he’d be a genial waiter

      …naaaah. Anyway, he’d still be colossally rich and privileged as a Sinclair. But if he were neither, my guess is he’d be a pimp and drug dealer. With a meth and crack addiction. Cheque kiter and scam artist scoring cheques off the government.

  10. As for Rex, I always thought maybe he was one of those gargoyles on the parliament building

    Didn’t he get his start at the Mother Corp? Was it because he has no talent, or did he like it there?

    And why was he named after a dog? Was it a Newfoundland?
