  1. Clickbait for starving trappersnappers.
  2. Well after that spurious remark... here's the gist... The Operation: Individuals known for vigorously defending Canada's first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, and for questioning established residential school narratives were contacted by a fictitious company (using names like "Heritage Figures Canada" or "Forge Media"). The targets were initially told they were participating in a documentary or commercial shoot meant to "reclaim the legacy" of Macdonald. The "Gotcha": After an initial, seemingly friendly interview about Macdonald, the production team conducted a second filmed session where they revealed the premise was fake and openly mocked or challenged the interviewees' views in a Borat-style sting operation. The Targets: High-profile targets targeted by the pranksters included author and commentator Lindsay Shepherd, former professor Frances Widdowson, and Conservative MP Aaron Gunn. The Backlash: The use of a public broadcaster (alongside APTN) to conduct these sting operations sparked intense outrage and debate. Conservative MPs publicly condemned the use of taxpayer dollars to mock and humiliate private citizens. Current Status: The CBC has confirmed its involvement in the entertainment project, with spokespeople defending it as a long-established television format and satirical prank show. However, Conservative politicians have actively demanded formal investigations and accountability from the CBC regarding the ethics of the program. Now you pick a topic title that doesn't offend the fairy feelings.
  3. Because of the Carney’s Davos speech — a four-month-old address the Canadian prime minister’s admirers had called Churchillian, and that Washington now treats as a case study in the gap between rhetoric and reality.
  4. Wow look at those four excellent traits. You're just jealous cos you don't think you have any.
  5. Why the laugh? You was one of the voters, did you get your AKS74U?
  6. In other news, Jimmy Kimmel's jokes are already dead before he fosters them on a sycophantic audience.
  7. Einstein also said that singularities could not exist and niether could gravitational waves. He was a great man but made many mistakes. Using his name as anchor to bolster or substantiate an argument usually means the argument is without merit.
  8. Trump? never heard of him. Is he/she your ping pong partner?
  9. Was it 1948 you converted to Islam?
  10. It's known as "satisfactory outcomes will be required".
  11. the consensus was fuelled by the need for "research" grants which would only be given if the "research" reached pre-determined conclusions supplied by the grant funding organisations.
  12. Morbidly obese Hamas leader, Osama Hamdan, from his privileged home in Qatar, commands the palestinian people in Gaza to reject the FREE FOOD and aid Israel and the US are so graciously supplying at their own peril.
  13. They said follow the science, which I did and found nothing. Then I followed the money and found the science.
  14. Like I said....Antithesis. From your article..... Historically, some of the greatest breakthroughs in human history occurred when a lone genius rejected the established consensus.
  15. You do realise that "consensus" is the antithesis of science, do you?
  16. What!!? They only pay me $15666.00 per hour. About the asking price of a Cat School Witcher's apprentice. Not nearly enough.
