Four charged in car theft ring; but un-pictured and even un-named by state-owned CBC...
I just thought it was noticeable and questionable that at least a couple of major "news" media outlets that covered the big Peel Regional Police news conference today on the latest massive car theft...
Children Belong To Their Parents
I had to read the article three times because I thought, being the "news" media, they must have had it right, and I just wasn't seeing it.
<pause for laughter>
But no, I read it right....
Paywall down for a rework
Not that I hate money, but while I sort this issue out I'd rather people read my stuff for free than take down the site for maintenance. Yes I'm generous like that.
The problem I'm...
Wrong choice, wrong answer: the latest in stuff that’s going weirdly wrong in Canada.
Trudeau Liberals' latest move in the allegations of China Communist Party collusion with Canadian political parties (or what I like to call the Trudeau Liberal Party Chinese Communist Party Election Interference Corruption Scandal-Gate), is...
A dearth of fare!
Yes, yes, I'm going to write again. I've been busy on Twitter if that helps. https://twitter.com/JoelJohannesen. (You should FOLLOW me since I lost over 3,000 followers as a result of some funky-smelling Twitter (woke...
PTBC now a partial paywalled site to enable Porsche-buying
I'm experimenting with a paywall for this site, enabling me to "wall off" any or all articles at PTBC. This is designed to generate enough money to buy a new Porsche every so often....
UPDATED: What should I write about at PTBC?
I'm between being overwhelmed by all the ongoing nonsense, and feeling that I'm just adding to the excessive noise if I chime in.
Meantime, I'm watching SpaceX live coverage of the attempt, today hopefully, at...
Don’t say ass.
A bit of a hangover from yesterday's article I posted, which included an extra tidbit near the end about the Associated Press (where the emphasis is on the Ass) and their embarrassing (again with...
Tweetpoo for Tuesday January 24 2023
OK ! I'm good! I'm now more than fully cognizant that it's "Lunar New Year" in China and such places. I'm sure I don't need yet another tweet from any politicians signaling that they,...
Business Development Bank — AKA Another Big Government Calamity Developing
I think Pierre Poilievre is missing the bigger point.
As a conservative, or any normal human, a crown corporation boss flying her personal chauffeur across the country so he'd be there to drive her around...
No, (this) PTBC does not stand for “Patterns of Total Body Connectivity”
Patterns of Total Body Connectivity, huh? Is that like you put dots all over your body (or someone else's) and then see if you can connect the dots, and then having done so, sit...
Hypocrisy flies over his head: John Kerry’s private jet runs on gas but it’s...
Reprinting this gem (yes, I do dare say so myself... because I'm largely underrated) from nearly a year ago — February 3, 2021. This is because the asininity that the self-anointed elites at the...
Strange switch: on healthcare, progressives are conservatives; conservatives are progressive
Progressives are acting like conservatives when it comes to healthcare in Canada. Progressives, not conservatives, want to maintain the status quo — the state-funded and state-run government monopoly healthcare system. (Oh, I think maybe...
“Journalists” broke the rules, were suspended. Good.
If you're a lefty or a journalist (but I repeat myself yadda), you'd readily acknowledge Elon Musk is clearly at risk of harm, even assassination, perhaps more than most humans on Earth today. I'm...
