No surprises here; and as far as I know, they still haven't released any surveillance photos, videos, or any other credible evidence of the so-called vandals.

Seems like a new Quebec law violates Canadas freedom of expression laws.

Trump should have gone a step further, and said that the checks would be for Republican voters only

Seems like a new Quebec law violates Canadas freedom of expression laws.

It only applies to non-liberal, non-woke, non-alphabet people, so it doesn’t violate liberals freedom of expression.

Would it be fair to say that Quebec is to Canada what California is to USA?

Very accurate

I thought that was BC?

It’s a toss up , you all get California and n.y.c we’ve got Vancouver and Quebec.

I used to visit Victoria every year during the summer and loved it, felt more like a European city and I could stock up on good cough syrup and M.E.C. gear.

Funny, when we were in Winnipeg it seemed like SouthChicago.

One thing I forgot to mention yesterday, was a big thank you to Gander, Newfoundland. On 9/11 when U.S airspace got shut down, 38 passenger planes diverted to Gander.
Nearly 7000 people on those planes, and the community of Gander helped take care of them until they could fly out.

That is what friends and neighbours do for one another in times of tragedy. Hopefully we can get back to treating each other like friends and neighbours when the current crop of leadership on both sides of the border is gone.

For those with chronic, self absorbed, nearsighted tunnel vision, like RLD and BigEasy among others here, I will again suggest broaden your horizons and gain some perspective! I’ve spent some time in mountain villages in the Philippines where different languages are spoken and isolated cultures have developed. The Philippines is not unique in these perspectives- many places around the world can offer this. Rural populations there have no clue about nor interest in such things as affordable starter homes nor pseudo legalese, courtroom drama smugness like is commonly debated here. Linguists recognize there are some 180 distinct languages spoken in the Philippines, so it’s as good a place as any to gain some diverse perspective. While the travel there is like any long distance international destination, a royal PITA!, it is doable.

I have noticed some similarities between the local Navajo weaving culture here and one of the mountain tribes on Mindanao- the T’boli. The T’boli weaving and embroidery culture revolves around “dream patterns” while, similarly, the Navajo weavers are culturally based on their historical concept of “Spider Woman”. Here is a pic I pulled off the internet as an example of the unique and endless variety of T’boli “dream patterns”. So, broaden your horizons and perspectives and travel out of your comfort zone! Also… for an equally adventuresome destination, I would suggest the “Sea Nomad” culture in the far south Philippine area of Tawi Tawi and the Badjao people. Their divers have been documented to hold their breath for up to 13 minutes during foraging free dives! Be ready for culture shock when traveling any of these destinations.

Trying to refain , but I must interject, I sincerely doubt these ladies are million -aires or married to one but seems to have the satisfied ,happy look. Just wandering if we [Americans] may have our priorities a little scewed. Not slinging mud but ?

 

[cwpayton]

I am sure this is a fascinating destination and they are wonderful people.

But surely you are not suggesting that because other nations have poor rural areas that more developed countries should stop trying to improve?

You don't like the idea of affordable starter homes? The concept is too legalese for you?

I'd wager these folks you are referring to don't give a rat's ass about the 2nd Amendment or a million other things that I bet are important to you.

I gotta say, this post makes absolutely no sense at all.

It's like saying because these folks don't drive cars we shouldn't have speed limits or safety standards for cars.

But let me ask, do you think that MILF will stick to the deal they cut recently or are they just biding their time?

I have travelled and lived amongst other cultures my whole life. It doesn't mean I should ignore the problems in Canada.

Trying to refain to this post, but maybe you should do a study on the WWII phillipines and how hey felt in WWII ,how thwy responded, Gutsy people they are,.

I spent some time in the P I, thanks to Uncle Sam. On our weekends off some of us would rent a skoshi cab and head for the hills. It was very interesting to mingle among the simple native people. Their simple life away from the hustle and bustle of the cities was refreshing. The slow relaxing lifestyle felt great and mixing with the people gave insight into the fact that most times the simple life is the best.

Jesus lighten up.

I’m curious to hear first hand accounts of all this indoctrination taking place. Not your great aunts third cousins Facebook posts, but actual witnessed events. I know I have a very small sample size, two kids one school, but I don’t see it happening. I’m not saying it is, but I believe that 99% of what people regurgitate is made up.

My favourite is the old litter boxes in the bathroom rumour. Who the hell is cleaning these? Are they in stalls or in the open? I’d they’re in a stall, did they pull a toilet out to make room?

Trying to refain from this , this mud hole , but look up when parents attending school board meetings to voice concerns over text books encouraging fithy sex , danceing by trans. wokeism, were monitered by the FBI and considered some king of domestic terrorist, [under the hon. Joseph Biden admin. please post what you find ,Im not your secretary.

Some of his speeches makes it feel like his not fully there, all that rambling etc...and then there is the nodding of in meetings.

Perhaps it is as simple as dementia, and that is in this case perhaps no restrains and attempts to cover it up as it has been suggested that it was with Biden.

I believe its called Delusions of grandeur in dementia and according to AI the symtoms are:

False identities: Believing they are royalty, a famous celebrity, or a historical figure.

Exaggerated powers: Claiming they possess special talents, magical skills, or the ability to solve major world crises like ending wars.

Again according to AI, the reasons behind are:

Brain changes: Progressive damage to areas of the brain that handle memory, reasoning, and reality processing.

Confabulation: The brain creates false, distorted memories to fill in the gaps left by memory loss, which the person then firmly believes are true.

Confusion: Disorientation regarding time and place can cause distorted self-perception.

Perhaps it is not at all dementia or at least not as severe as above but it does feel like at least some of the symtoms are fitting the bill in this case.

trying to refain from this non sense but what you just posted describes Big Easy
