Not here to make people smarter:-) Can't be done! Connections, conversation, amusement, information... not necessarily in that order. Don't buy me a coffee;)

This is for all you people who keep insisting that nobody ever said the vaccine would stop you from getting sick or passing it on

Wow, that's worrisome...
Surreal moment at Amy Hamm’s hearing today: Amy’s lawyer, Lisa Bildy, was referring to the legal judgement (which uses ideological language and does not consider women’s sex-based rights), and she made a statement expressing the expectation that public bodies are supposed to be neutral— to which the judge ASKED FOR CASE LAW —-to back up the concept that public bodies should be neutral. When did the concept of non-biased organizations need case law to back it up? Isn’t lady justice supposed to be blind and fairly consider all sides? Is objectivity no longer a fundamental Canadian value? #IStandWithAmyHamm

Honestly how stupid are these people
A YouTuber’s $400,000 Ferrari caught fire in a dry cornfield, spread to the rental van beside it, and erased nearly half a million dollars within minutes 😳👀 “Well, there goes half a million dollars, I guess.”

Yikes..
WATCH: A small plane suddenly flips upside down while taxiing at a California airport, with the entire incident caught on camera. The Cessna 172 was moving behind a United Airlines flight Saturday when it overturned, according to the FAA. Both people aboard escaped without injuries. Officials are investigating whether a powerful blast of air from a nearby passenger jet caused the plane to flip. Download the Fox News app or go to Foxnews.com for more.

We called the police but they were already on the scene, supervising the event..

Why can we not get rid of these clowns? Must the trash keep circulating?
Electrification, implementation and tomorrow’s launch of the #WeNeedToTalk campaign to put climate change back on the agenda, not just during COPs, but every single day. That’s what I’m looking for from this year’s #COP31!

Our government hates us
🧀 Mariposa Dairy, a Lindsay ON goat cheese company, is close to the breaking point. It employs 200 workers & is losing $1M per week due to tariffs. 80% of their product goes to the 🇺🇸. 🐐 200 farms provide the milk. They're approaching a decision point to cull their herds (totalling 50,000 goats) & shutter. 🧑‍🌾 Mariposa's scenario is being played out across 🇨🇦. Small & medium sized businesses employ 2/3 of all workers. 📉 55,000 private sector jobs were lost in October. The impacts of the tariffs imposed since August are hitting now.

And right here is why I eat fruit when it's in season But not the rest of the year
Fruit is sold as the most natural food on earth. Most of what's in your fruit bowl didn't exist 300 years ago, and none of it was ever meant to be eaten every day. The supermarket strawberry was born in a French garden in the 1750s, a cross between a berry from Chile and one from Virginia. The wild one is the size of a pea. The wild banana is so full of stones there's barely anything to eat. The one in your bowl is a seedless clone that can't even breed. The blueberry wasn't farmed until 1916. In a 17th-century painting, a sliced watermelon is mostly pale flesh and seeds. Every one of them has been bred bigger, sweeter and softer than anything your ancestors ever picked. And in the wild, fruit is there for a few weeks a year. Your apple in June was picked last autumn and kept asleep in a low-oxygen store. Your banana was gassed ripe in a warehouse. Your January blueberries flew in from Peru. In nature, those few weeks of fruit have one job: putting fat on before winter. Bears gorge on autumn berries until they're fat enough to sleep through to spring. The sugar in fruit is mostly fructose. Your liver turns much of it straight into fat, and your brain barely counts it as food. When Yale scanned people's brains, glucose quietened the hunger centres. Fructose didn't. Essential it isn't either. The Inuit went through Arctic winters without a single piece of fruit and never got scurvy, because fresh meat carried the vitamin C. Fruit was a few weeks of autumn. The supermarket made it autumn all year, and the winter never comes.

Unreal... Treason in the open...
So shall we start with Carney’s China deal? What was largely ignored by Canadian media until last month was this scary paragraph: “The two sides committed to strengthening law enforcement cooperation to combat corruption and transnational crimes” And then this gem: “Prime Minister Carney welcomed plans to deepen engagement on national security issues at senior levels” It specifies telecommunications and cyber fraud, illegal synthetic drugs, and continued annual bilateral law enforcement working group meetings. And the agreement also lists a signed memorandum on strengthening collaboration between the RCMP and China's Ministry of Public Security.
