UPDATED — Those “Private” “Profiting” Long-Term Seniors’ Care Homes Aren’t Necessarily Private
UPDATED below — May 29 2020

A Government Failure at Every Level

BANG! A Gun Rights Petition, Petition By A Liberal Against Other Liberals, And Others.
One federal E-Petition led me to another. I recently signed one, the one in support of gun rights and against Trudeau's latest idiotic gun bans. You should too. More on that in a second.
There's...

“Trump should die of Covid,” Etc. Proud of This, Ugly Canadians?
Passionate, compassionate, caring, loving, kind, polite Canadians. Balanced. Moderate. Calm. Loving. Not the least xenophobic. Tolerant. Inclusive. That's Canada, "eh?"
No. That's utter bull. Get your head straight. You deserve to understand your country more...
New! “Canada Debt-o-Meter” installed here
Check it out!
If it works (so far so good!), it will be a permanent feature and make its home in the right sidebar. On the main page it will be under the CBC Waste-o-Meter...
Epic Twitter rant leaves me drained.
Sometimes things just get to me. Usually, it's things like when the government, or an appendage of it like the state-owned CBC, appears to be infringing on our rights and misusing their privilege. Trying...
Lib Health Minister Hajdu “has no regrets” about her infamous border-closing remarks

I was all set to NOT read this "expert" analysis, since the headline basically warned me that it's all nonsense anyway.
Turns out it's a good read (heh... I read it even after my snarky...
BREAKING: Killer did not adhere to gun laws, murder laws, or any laws.
The state-owned CBC boosted the left's gun control fetish this morning, with a fresh article misleading — or at best confusing — some Canadians once again.
See, there are new, tougher gun laws in the...
Private car insurers in Canada are offering rebates up to 70%. State-owned ICBC? Squat.
Obviously car accidents are tanking, not unlike the rest of the economy in Canada right now. So it comes as no surprise when you read things like what follows, because this is how the...
Nova Scotia gunman had no license to acquire or possess guns. ILLEGAL.
Some important news today: the Nova Scotia RCMP Chief Superintendent Chris Leather said that the gunman responsible for the murderous mayhem in Nova Scotia, Gabriel Wortman, didn't have a gun license. It's important to...
(“I believe!”) she’s a CBC Reporter, who gets ratioed on Twitter, and it’s wonderful.
