  1. I’ve found the party irrelevant. I mean, who doesn’t want a cleaner, more efficient world? We’ve been very sloppy over time but we’re getting better. Slowly yes, but it’s coming along.

    Edmonton is going to three bins now, the third for food waste as in composting material, which I assume will ultimately be used for fertilizer.

    Yes, we have a ways to go about education, behaviour and respect for the planet but a so minded political party is unnecessary and far too single focused.

  2. I don’t even know the words to the national anthem. They’ve been changed four times in my lifetime and I believe a fifth change is coming if I recall. I find this a national embarrassment and frankly I don’t even care anymore.

    Speaking of change, I’d get rid of the Lester Pearson Liberal Party logo flag of 1965 and return to Canada’s proper flag, the Red Ensign. That is the correct flag my grandfather was wounded under in France in WW1 and under-which I myself was born - in Alberta of course. ?

  3. Firstly, we need to stop using words like “native” and “indigenous”. Science many years ago agreed that the Western Hemisphere was populated from north to south by way of immigration across the Bering Strait, then a land bridge. Human remains are oldest the further north and far predate Mayans or Inca.

     

    Thus, our so called “natives”, just as I am, are descendants of immigrants. Yet, as a Norwegian-American-Canadian, I don’t belong to a group which warrants a special Federal Cabinet position and gets billions a year. We’ve been accustomed to drilling our own water wells on farms and having fine drinking water in my family’s history.

    Canada is so messed up it’s probably best to start over.

    1. Compromise and pluralism IS our culture.
    2. Conservatives like freedom, not government-imposed culture laws on 'conforming'.  I'm not interested in your culture shampoo.... go wash a dog or something.
    3. Yes, we want to build an economy... Also note that Ontario doesn't have weird disparaging nicknames for other provinces, but dress up in whatever costume you like, cowboy...

    Cowboy? Because Alberta has 70% of the cattle business in CanaDUH? I suppose you have no clue Alberta has the highest percentage of population in the country with a post secondary education.

    Nobody expects much from you in Toronto. You’re a national burden. Now get back to building an economy with your Syrian and Afghan refugees.

  5. At 61, single for 20 years with no children it’s a short list.

    I live comfortably retired early at 55 and have clear title on my home. I suppose my reasons are my cat, my motorcycle (43 riding) and the Utah desert south.

    The family has a winter home in Cocoa Beach, Florida and my sister has a winter place in El Centro, California on the desert. Covid has hurt as I can’t stand winter.

    Thank goodness for baseball and football.

  6. I note the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have been allowed by the province and the city to have 100% stadium occupancy for home games provided such fans are fully vaccinated. Someone told me this is league backed and sponsored if other provinces follow suit concerning other teams.

    So there is essentially a vaccine "passport" requirement. I wonder why Tony's Pizza can't do the same.

    If you were banned because of the age of the quote or the source, then we aren't.

    On the other hand, you know, I get the feeling you are leaving something out here.  ?

    "Sooner or later we'll have to fight the Chinese" - Gen. Douglas MacArthur.

    I posted this following a previous comment from another concerning Chinese meddling in the affairs of other countries, internet hacking and the potential of intentionally leaking Covid 19.

    I was banned and they were not.

  8. Canadians like me who had nothing whatsoever to do with this mess have already contributed $3.3B to families and "survivors". No more public money is necessary.

    I went to school too. I was smacked with a ruler. I was cuffed in the head. I was strapped. I was kicked in the shin. I'm talking public school in the 1960's and 70's with nothing but caucasian kids in the class. Am a I "survivor" as well?

    How many places in the world have : free housing, free healthcare, free primary/secondary education, free money (OW) and care for elderly and disabled regardless of race/colour/any Code ground like Ontario has? Despite this, Ontario is labelled by cancel culture as " Racist "....

    Suggesting anything is "free" is part of Canada's problem in the first place.
