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

Carney lied about moving Brookfield HQs to the US, the Gordie Howe Bridge, the sale of Stellantis plant, but he's totally telling the truth about negotiations with the US.
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.

Conrad Black is right. “first nations” is a misnomer and typical of the linguistic manipulation used by the left.
Indian bands in Canada have no national characteristics and the notion, for example, that Canada could have “nation to nation” dialogue with Wayne Sparrow is risible.
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.
I have one millionth the reach of @ConradMBlack, but I've been shouting this from the rooftop forever. Mostly because the ladder fell over and We've been stuck here forever.

Why Canada Must Rethink Its Entire Approach to Indigenous Policy

Toronto police are now "investigating" the LCBO theft at Bloor and Royal York. No suspects.
The LCBO says it has a "covert security task force."
Very covert. The guard in the video just walked away.
Yet another brazen daylight robbery of the publicly-owned @lcbo yesterday at Bloor & Royal York. A concerned customer asks the security guard to step in, but she lacks the will or skill to stop the theft - and scurries away. Even the demoralized employee is surprised at the volume of merchandise stolen, suggesting this is more than the typical theft she sees on a daily basis.
The thieves nicked at least 5 bottles of Remy Martin VSOP with a sticker price of $103 each, and several bottles of Macallan 12-year valued at $144 a pop. Yet the most incredible part is these two robbed the same store less than 24 hours earlier.
Of course, emboldened criminals know they can escalate the scale of their theft in an environment free of consequences.
Canada has gone so far of course, eighty year-old women are now screaming Fuck You instead of saying sorry.

The senior Chaplain of the CAF is no different than any other GOFO. They accept the insanity of the woke orders & the crazy changes to the dress regulations coming from the CDS, get their pensions & move on to their defence industry jobs.
It’s been 59 years since a GOFO, resigned in protest & then went public with their allegations & concerns. No one cared, nothing changed & that lucrative job vanished. Message sent, message received.
God is gone & not a single Chaplain had the courage of their faith to refuse to eliminate God or resign over the matter. #Pitiful
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.

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.
