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....
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...
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...
EU and UN hacks threaten Musk’s Twitter because “censorship.” But the EU’s Norway threatens...
Here are two things that do not go together in a sane world. First of all, the "journalists" who were temporarily suspended from Twitter yesterday (most were really nothing more than political activists as...
Trust the “news” media you guys. Also: Trust the “news” media, you guys.
There's no collusion within the Canadian "news" media. They aren't living in a bubble together. They are fair and honest. Objective. Never "activist." They don't get their talking points from anybody other than their...
Justin Trudeau and Canadian “news” media don’t look up.
For years, "Connecting rural Canada" has been a huge Liberal campaign deal. Until today.
Since even before they were first elected they've been promising this. Even just last month, the Trudeaupians were busy churning out...
Daily reading. Or not?
I've mentioned how impressed I am at Sam Cooper of Global News and his outstanding reporting on the Chinese Communist Party's election influence campaign targetting Canada in (or at least in) 2019.
The first report...
