So you'd prefer a pigheaded "The law is the law is the law Oink! Oink!" interpretation of justice?

You just told yourself why they did, they will, and they can.

Too bad he's no longer with us. Peter Lorre would be the perfect actor to play Trump.

Say something intelligent sometime. Surprise us!

Oh really, the Tories simply bawled like babies demanding instant action on purely ideological grounds. The NDP, not having the slightest clue or experience regarding international diplomacy or national security tagged along. The entire so called scandal boiled down to the people who were supposed to handle it didn't instantly come snivelling to the Boss about how to do their job, therefore it's all Trudeau's fault, what their dupes want to hear.

Always liked his weaselly characters. In the words of Al Stewart: ...strolling through the crowds like Peter Lorre contemplating a crime...

So they did boot the guy out and now the Chinese booted one of ours (one so far) and now the Big Tory whine is that they took too long. Wow! We really showed them, didn't we? The Libs actually thought it out and eventually decided to accept the consequences instead of instantly jerking their knee and not even thinking things through and claiming a "win". Boy some of you would make great political leaders, the country would last maybe months with you running things.

Bloody imbeciles so stuck on political jargon they equate a snowflake as not representing snow-weather-climate anymore. Do they have to change it to a Polar bear or Beluga until some bozos decide those mean something else? Ditch the whole 'Crown' symbol and create one that represents only Canada. You want heritage? Put a Union Jack and a Fleur de Lis on either side of a totem pole. A kermode bear, a cod and a beluga around it. Don't want to be reminded it snows? Change the flake to an inukshuk.

Good God, they got rid of prayers here in the early/mid 1960s when I was in Elementary school. Where were public schools still imposing that shit 7 years ago. They'd even stopped singing God Save The Queen at the end of assemblies, just O Canada at the start by the time I was in Senior High.

The last time my store was robbed they stole a couple customer's laptops that were on the repair bench. They couldn't READ the boxes to steal the new ones and the desktops, printers, monitors were too heavy. They would've had to bend down to see the 8GB USB sticks, so they stole all the 1 & 2 GB ones at eye level. They got caught because the next night the RCMP responded to another alarm in the building and they'd smashed the window of the old Sear's mail order depot and were pushing a lawn tractor across the paved parking lot, still unassembled and on a wooden skid. They told the cops they were picking it up for someone and were pushing it across the lot to their pickup truck. The cop told them they were dumb - most people would drive the truck over to the store not push something so heavy all the way to the truck. He commented "I suppose you're the id10ts that broke into the computer store last nighr too!" "OMG! How did you know that was us? We wore hoodies" Just a reminder that there are stupid people and bad people out there and you have to deal with that fact. Not gripe that someone else didn't.

6 sides! In the winter it's frozen uptop and below ground too! No the political devide is due to so few Tory gov'ts that the rural people haven't figured out the Tories don't give a tinker's dam about them either.

Justin himself doodled it on a napkin and ordered his Ministers to impose it. He did that between deciding which shoes your wife would wear to work and whether the power in your outlet was 117 or 120V and ordering your dog when to fart.

I suppose you're gonna tell us they don't teach Cdn history in school any more too.

All those city dwellers banging together horseless carriages, what next they gonna force me to git rid of my horses and buy gasoline? Make me switch to growin' rape seeds instead of hay, the have the audacity to change it's name just to sell better?

I tire of chopping off the heads of wives I become bored with, therefore I shall snap my fingers, create a new barely modified church of which I am the head of. For centuries there will always be fools that quote Biblical references that seem to justify that I am King Shit. Imagine being so unpatriotic you believe your country shouldn't create it's own symbols and must always use someone else's FFS. Lester Pearson face-palming in the grave at the dinosaurs still roaming 60 years later.

Good God the epitome of someone without a business clue. Typical "I shouldn't have to, everyone else should change instead" snivelling response. Over 25 yrs running a storefront in a tiny remote town, I needed bars in the windows, alarms and cameras to protect the valuable merchandise inside. But the other 2.5 milluon people should behave, I shouldn't have to spend a nickel... No damn wonder there's no public health down there, the very same attitude's like a tumour on the American brain.

Or business owners with enough brains and not too cheap to display goods behind shatterproof glass without needing a cop to tell them that.

for a cartoon Monarchy

Like OMG what does snow have to do with Canada? We need more lions and dragons and unicorns and shit that isn't Cdn at all - toss in a platypus FFS.

The 'benefits' of colonialism being discussed by the descendants of the colonizers, who didn't really get any, while as usual the colonized are without voices.

So maybe the CRTC should demand Canadian content in advertsising. The agencies could scramble to find actors in turbans and saris eating the tasteless bland shit they're trying to flog on us... Oh my goodness this 'Flamethrower burger' I can almost taste! Did you bring any real hot sauce dear?

Funny you mentioned PHP and Javascript which are rapidly becoming historical artifacts. Used to hand bomb complex websites over a weekend back in the PHP WWW3 days... and I get a real kick over these 'educators' bragging how they're gonna teach kids to "code"... what KIND of code FFS ?

Ever even attended a political convention? Ever put forward motions from the floor? Ever sat on the Executive? Ever chaired a committee? Then shuddup.

Yes you heard. I have relatives who experienced it. And never have I claimed the Soviet system was in anyway superior to ours. Because unlike in the Soviet system I am free to point out the flaws in our system that need to be addressed. As are you, should you ever choose to acknowledge that they exist. I'm merely suggesting a return to the days when if a public need existed and companies couldn't pay their own way to provide it, we do so with Crown Corporations.

BTW - Jack Layton would have met with & told the convoyers to F*** off and get back to work or they lose any Covid benefits.
