I just rubbed my eye with the same hand that was handling pickled jalapeños. I wonder if I'd look good with an eyepatch?

Premier Wab Kinew’s call to abolish the Indian Act of 1876 has usefully exposed the unresolved contradictions in what is termed “Reconciliation.” The related label “First Nations” is itself imprecise. Many of the groups in question are small, historically fluid communities rather than nations in any conventional sense. Ritual acknowledgments of unpronounceable and largely unknown groups before public events further illustrate the gap between symbolic practice and institutional reality. A central unanswered question remains: how many people of authentic Indigenous ancestry actually prefer to live under hereditary forms of governance, and how many would prefer meaningful cultural continuity combined with full participation in the broader Canadian economy and society. The incentives of existing leadership structures are clear. The preferences of the wider population have never been systematically tested. It's time to stop with the symbolic deference, and start serving the interests of Indigenous Canadians.

Communist!
There should be a dollar limit on cars with handicap placards. Usually it’s like oh you’re disabled - that sucks - here have this great parking spot. But then you see it on a Porsche 911 or something and it’s like man you’re not THAT disabled.

Today, an Octogenarion woman entered a 4 way intersection after I had already begun going through. She was driving a teeny Korean shitbox, and me in my F-350. I made a heavy brake application to keep from making her a memory. My reward? The finger and a couple of F You's.

Canada has gone so far of course, eighty year-old women are now screaming Fuck You instead of saying sorry.

When you accidentally prove a point you weren’t trying to make
If your main concern is that men will pretend to be women to enter women's spaces, then you fear men, not trans people. Think about it. Honestly just think about it.

What do you honestly think would happen if a white guy like me tried to walk out of a government owned LCBO store with just one bottle of rye....without paying?

Hear me out. What if the bank has to tell its bondholders that 660,000 new bag holders I mean immigrants are coming to Canada in order to avoid having its debt downgraded?
BMO has looked at Carney's immigration numbers and says they don't add up. Ottawa's official target is 380,000 permanent residents a year. A senior economist at the bank, Robert Kavcic, went through the 2025 and 2026 budgets. He found special measures that would move about 280,000 temporary residents onto the permanent rolls in 2027. Officials, he writes, have suggested this will be "on top of new admissions." On top of. Not instead of. You still get the 380,000 new permanent residents. Then you add 280,000 people who are already here, being made permanent. That's not 380,000. That's 660,000. BMO now expects the population to grow by about 1 per cent in 2027, nearly double what the bank itself was forecasting. Kavcic called it "an abrupt change in the near-term outlook." It's abrupt only if you believed the first number. The government advertises 380,000. A bank looked at the books and got 660,000. I know which one I'm going with. #cdnpoli

Oh look, even Carney’s Remembrance Day statement needed to include “Dangerous and Divided World” It’s almost as if he is manifesting this dangerous & divided world. He is sick. No normal person would act like this.

Gay.
At the first national Remembrance Day ceremony since CAF chaplain prayer restrictions took effect, the CAF chaplain's reflection does not mention God. "May their legacy inspire us to choose compassion over indifference, understanding over division, and hope over despair."

Now this has some level of merit. If not travel between the constituency and Ottawa, that would take up all their time, but to compel any new MP to take a cross-country road trip makes TOTAL SENSE.
As a corollary to this, Taking the train or car between their riding and Ottawa should be a requirement of each MP. They need to see the size of the country, the visible scars of decline, the opportunity cost and the eyes of the afflicted and afflictors alike .

“Prepping” and “homesteading” are just how most small town and rural Canadians lived prior to the internet and 911.

I just received a phone call from the tenants upstairs. It appears this massive storm and its accompanying winds have found a weak spot in the roof, and there's now a modest water feature in the dining room. FML.

This was the same gent who was one of the four contractors to show up, of the dozen called, to address a leak a couple of years ago. And he was the only one who said we didn't need a whole new roof but merely a repair to a section of an added on space. He is truly a Godsend.

And he'll be the one replacing the brick chimney with a metal vent and flashing, as soon as things dry up. In a world of shysters it truly pays to know an honest businessman. As for me, I don't do heights. I get physically ill climbing more than six feet above terra firma.

"We would like to acknowledge the land on which we gather. It is the traditional and unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabe Nation." The Legion's emcee opened Canada's national Remembrance Day ceremony at the National War Memorial in Ottawa.
