Your jekyll and hyde personalities are causing you problems. Sorry for that. Makes it difficult to jump on your bandwagon. To topic, Justin can get better at flipping pancakes but I suspect cdnfux cannot get better, period

Sorry, I try very hard to be civiI. I so do want to be on your side but you sure make it difficult. Take my comment for what it is intended as , not through a haze you may be in. Your obsession with my starting a post is getting very old. I do not need to start a post, others, like you, do it very well and very quickly and I participate. I do not need to post about pancake flipping or some other innocuous headline. Anyway, enjoy your verbal fracas with cdnfux, he picks em to get ya.

Don't get me into your bun fight with the cdnfux. You bit at his BS and now you either have to swallow it or spit it out. In my opinion, any interaction with him/her/it by anyone will only result in his/her/it's insult tirade.

"You people"? Who are you accusing of these things??

Don't hurt your arm patting yourself on the back LOL We all have a crutch to bare.

You are good at chastising others for getting personal and into bun fights and here you are..... getting personal and into a bun fight.

Whoa, I was not telling, I was commiserating and understand your situation with the drink. No bone to pick with you. But understand, it takes 2 to tango and both participants should be noted.

Sorry to hear that but, I do understand. Please try.

I post when I have something to say and I have. ...unless I run into an !diot and then I defend. I questioned, politely of a poster and it was over until unnecessary interjection by someone. It takes 2 to tango....you can address him too. As for your whiskey, please put it away. You said you would.

Just like a puppy....it takes so little to get you to chase your tail. LOL Keep coming LOL woof woof LOL

Here you are again...an internet creep

Ha...here you are again. The professional internet creep

Insult away....

My response was to your statement "western powers do not have the metal capacity nor will to wage war over long periods of time". My point was and is that 13 and 20 years at war is "a long period of time" as you seem to agree with. As for pulling out in the middle of the night, I think the pull outs were talked about and quite anticipated. What meant by intense is that the US and Canada et al were not anticipating the determination of the enemy. That they would keep fighting even though things were so against them and as you say "As for fighting an enemy that was determined, more than willing give their lives for an certain outcome sure".

Yup OK ? Offer your opinion to those who care.... there may be one or two but not me LOL

And yet, the indigenous are cheering for the change.

Absurd? It is all over the news. I linked the governments announcement. I could not care less about electric cars or their range or cost, and that is not what my post was about. I said Ontario is at the edge of it's production. there could be brownouts and outages because of the demand. Proposing we buy more electric vehicles and build more housing is straining the system even more and may not handle it. https://thenarwhal.ca/ontario-electricity-grid/ https://www.thestar.com/politics/provincial/2023/06/05/if-the-hot-weather-keeps-up-ontario-is-at-risk-of-power-shortages-this-summer-report-finds.html

Not sure what you mean by "wage war over long periods of time"? Canada was there for 13 years and the US was there for 20 years. What western powers were not able to confront was how intense and what a Holy War was.

Oh, AI is Universal Basic Income. Never run into that acronym used for that. I am an old guy so, it is welfare to me. Absolutely, when free money is offered, people will take it.

I am afraid you have lost me. I too know of people getting the income supplement from the pandemic cash. It was given too freely and now some folks feel entitled to free money. It does have to stop. I have a friend working for CRA and he has been seconded to the fraud department and they are going after those folks that have "cheated" They even caught CRA employees and fired them and made them pay back. They are also going after pensioners that got the money. He said many thousands of pensioners are in for a shock. Anyway you lost me with your mention of AI? Are you saying artificial intelligence is somehow playing a role??

With all the heat, brown outs and power outages are happening because people are putting their air conditioners on. We are on the limit of electricity production now. And all levels of government want us to buy electric vehicles and of course, the public outcry for more electricity using housing. We need more juice. Thankfully the Ontario (at least) government says they will build another nuke plant https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/ontario-new-nuclear-build-1.6897701 I suspect the other provinces are in the same situaltion with their electricity grid Now, to see if it will happen. Will the "greenies" allow this? The ones that want to do away with fossil fuel use will now have to allow nuclear development.

I responded to your comments."if you don't contribute and rely on this kind of stuff, it's akin to being a freeloader. " as well as the comments leading up to that statement. I do have very strong opinions on indigenous generational welfare. In my career, I have had opportunity to be on many indigenous "communities" (formerly called reserves). I have seen what goes on. I fully agreed with workfare (Ontario Works) when it was presented and implemented. Thing is, it embarrassed some and it was quickly deemed politically incorrect. I agree, and have always espoused, you earn what you have. If you do not earn, you deserve what predicament you are in. I also am a huge opponent of the Guaranteed Wage movement. Do not work, get nothing. With a few exceptions, no one is owed anything.

It certainly does, in some peoples minds.... like the ones using the term. And, by definition pixie dust is "a substance or influence with an apparently magical effect that brings great success or luck." and seems to have been working for Trudeau for the past 12 years LOL It is important for PP to steal some out of Trudeau's bag LOL

So, lets take the indigenous. Every indigenous person living in remote (or off the grid) communities throughout this country are, in your words, freeloaders. They have no industry, no work in those communities except the make work projects the feds have made for them. Workfare has been tried but it was determined to be demeaning to the dignity of the individual and was cancelled.

As meaningful as the gas tax rebate or the climate change rebate.
