So Canada loses again.

Big dumb Doug Ford decided to interfere in American politics by running a bunch of ads in the US in the midst of US Canada trade negotiations. Sadly for Dougie Trump saw the ads as political interference and cancelled all trade negotiations with... See More »

Have you ever seen the Northern Lights?

Is this the height of stupidity?

Canada had a "No Kings" rally to protest Donald Trump. Irony of irony. Trump is the elected President of the US. Charles the third is the un-elected king of Canada.

A scene from where I grew up.

So Trump is thinking of sending Tomahawk Missiles to Ukraine.

Probably not the wisest move he has ever made. The Tomahawk is pretty much obsolete. It's top speed is around 550 MPH which isn't very fast. It is nuclear capable which may cause Russia to launch its nukes should a tomahawk be seen approaching... See More »

We had a family reunion today where my grandparents descendents gathered

One of my aunts had done a series of binders with all sorts of information about family and parents. On one page was a cake recipe. My daughters were shocked at the size of it. It called for 5 pounds of flour and 5 pounds of sugar and 1/2 dozen... See More »

Anyone interested in Charlie Kirk's assassination?

I read an article about a woman dying from Tylenol poisoning

Apparently the pregnant lady who was very liberal was so going to prove Trump wrong that she overdosed and killed herself and likely her baby in the womb. This says nothing about Trump but everything about liberals who think they know better. Why... See More »

I really haven't been following Charlie Kirk but today

I heard that he was shot in the neck with a 30.06 at around 200 yards. Apparently the bullet did not exist the neck which makes me ask was it a light load? A 30.06 round to the neck would not only exit the neck and be potentially lethal to anyone... See More »

Strange irony

My mother would tell me about her childhood on the prairies. How rough they had it in the 30s and how the only fruit they got was dried fruit shipped in from warmer climes. How dried apples were a real treat for her. Today we harvested the apple... See More »

A tale of two women

A woman posts something nasty on Tic Tok about the death of Charlie Kirk and when her boyfriend's business is destroyed by bad reviews from people who didn't appreciate her nasty comments she cried foul. Charlie Kirk's widow said she forgives the man... See More »

So Ukraine found some Russian drones.

They were surveillance drones and they appeared to have run out of gas. Ukraine fuelled them up put some duct tape over the damaged bits and sent them into Poland. Poland was ready. It had the latest and greatest American air defence system... See More »

Reading a right wing news article that tusk tusked Sudan

Sudan was threatening Christians in Sudan that they should renounce their religion or be starved to death. Sudan should call itself Israel and the same news outlet would be drooling over the deaths and calling for even more deaths.

My wife went to a ladies night at a church we don't attend

We have gone there before at the invitation of our daughter. So as my wife was helping clean up after the party one of the women from the church spoke to my wife. The lady said that she remembered my wife and I attending the church on Mother's Day.... See More »

Joe Biden was treated for skin cancer.

Too much time on the beach when he should have been in the oval office or a victim of his own vax mandates given we know that the vaxes cause cancer.

I see some people are predicting the Rapture on Sept 23, 2025.

The rapture is a Christian heresy that predicts the church will disappear because it will be taken to heaven. Which raises a question in my mind I wonder if on 24 September the rapture believers wake up in their bed will they think the rapture... See More »

I guess I am not MAGA

Netanyahu says so. I oppose his genocide therefore I oppose Israel therefore I can not be MAGA. Not that I want to be MAGA mind you but it is nice when others define what you are by what you oppose.

Was our house about to fall apart?

Doing the breakfast dishes this morning I heard a gentle thumping sound. Neighbours working on his house? Sounded closer than that. The thumping got louder and quicker. I put the towel down and began to follow the sound. Under our dining room... See More »

History was made in Alberta last night

For the first time in history one candidate in an election got more votes than all the other candidates combined. All 213 other candidates.

Some people take a rivalry too far.

Take the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames for example. Some guy in Edmonton started a fire just so he could boo the flames.

Interesting headline

Europe is going to spend $100 Billion it doesn't have to buy American weapons that the US doesn't have to arm Ukrainian troops that Ukraine doesn't have.

What is behind the blind generational hatred Britain has for Russia?

It is almost built into the psyche of Britain that must do what ever it can to destroy Russia. Witness the peace talks in Washington yesterday when Starmer suggested that Britain send soldiers to be 'peace keepers'. Of course he knew full well that... See More »

A good avoidance method

If you don't want something to happen then propose something almost like what you want to avoid and get everyone to agree with you. Germany doesn't want peace in Ukraine so it is suggesting a 'cease fire' before negotiations begin.

Lawn mower won't start.

Stale gas in the carb? Plugged jets? I assemble the tools and set the mower on the work bench. Off why the air filter and filter cover. Can I slide off the carb to access the jets? Oh wait a minute why is the choke wide open? Oh look the choke... See More »

Just out of curiosity

How does the average American feel now that Trump walked away from Ukraine? How does the average European feel now that Trump walked away from Ukraine? How does this play out for NATO?
