  1. Doing fine. No one living in basement "appointments" here.
  2. Maybe your mom will make you some mac'n'cheese and you can get out of the basement for a few minutes.
  3. Tim Houston on X today @TimHoustonNS "I understand that the original proposed changes came out of a scan that looked to modernize the Office by looking at best practices around Canada. This scan identified a variety of practices used across the country. There was never any intention on my part to change the existing Auditor General. After discussions with the Nova Scotia Auditor General and her team, I am no longer supporting the proposed amendments. This afternoon I asked the Legislature to withdraw them. Sometimes things become something that they weren’t intended to be and I believe this is the case with the Auditor General related amendments. I have nothing but respect for the Auditor General and look forward to continuing our working relationship. This is why we’ve increased funding for that office in this year’s budget. As always, we remain focused on what is in the best interests of Nova Scotians and believe an open and accountable government is part of that." Lot of outraged people speaking up "changed his mind". Good for him. Good for us.
  4. Read what I said. Not saying it's good, just saying that's the way it is.
  5. I agree - not the best way to run an economy, but it's a huge part of your budget every year and the money does create a lot of jobs and stimulate local economies. Be a lot of reps and sens complaining if factories start shutting down.
  6. More like Trump telling Zelensky to bend over while Putin's behind Trump who's already bent over with his pants down.
  7. You do know that that US aid to Ukraine was spent in the US at munitions factories, right? Supporting one of your biggest industries.
  8. The U.S. government's dairy subsidies have led to a surplus of milk, which is then converted into cheeseThe government stores this cheese in converted limestone mines in Missouri. 1.4 billion lbs. 1.4 BILLION LBS.! They would love to flood our market with this crap.
  9. Trump hates Trudeau, so maybe that makes us vulnerable. And I agree with the last sentence in that paragraph.
  10. Maybe the most naive thing I've read on any of these forums.
  11. YOUR "simple truth", emphasis on "simple". You just don't get it and never will. You're free to believe what you want, just stop trying to bend everybody else to your beliefs and superstitions. Stupid analogy. Piranhas are real. Your beliefs are just that - beliefs.
  12. The difference is, wrong or right, they're not saying anyone who does not agree with them will burn in hellfire for eternity. That's a Christianity thing.
  13. There's the problem right there. Just because you believe that to be true doesn't make it so.
  14. If they actually release the complete unredacted files, I'm all for it.
  15. Pansies? Haven't heard anyone use that since grade 6.
  16. Don't count on that. The price of oil could tumble in the next couple of years.
  17. Isn't he one of the three nutjobs that expected Trudeau to sign a document handing leadership of the country over to them? And where is the missing 7 or 8 millions of donations to the "Freedom to be Stupid" convoy?
  18. Liz Truss? That train wreck of a PM? Shortest-serving UK prime minister. Of course she's looking for a scapegoat!
  19. Yeah, Legault wants to go too far. Keep religion out of government and public schools, etc... but people should have the right to dress or pray as they want in public, if they're not causing a nuisance. But you go too far with that second sentence. Hopefully common sense will prevail on this issue.
