  1. Norwegian beach volleyball women indignantly refuse to wear 'revealing' bikini bottoms even though those are the only reason anyone watches their sport and the only reason any of them get sponsorship.

      Argus only watches women's sports if they are wearing bikinis. 

  2. One out of five Americans believe vaccines have microchips so the government can spy on them. Guess who they support for president...

      Yet they happily spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to have a device spy on them in their pocket. 

  3. Surely no one expected Canada's Olympic flag bearer to be a white guy, did they? Come oonn!

      What the hell does it matter how many people who are non-white have been flag bearers over the years? There weren't non-white flag bearers because up until the last 50 years Canada was about 98% white other than the reserves, and people on the reserves were rarely involved in major level athletics.

      Would you have objected to De Grasse? How about Donovan Bailey, Canada's greatest sprinter, not picked for 2000 in spite of all his heroics in 96.  Harry Jerome, never picked either.

      I would always object if the best player wasn't picked.

  4. We need to find some isolated island to ship anti-vaxxers to so they can be sick without involving us.

  5. Media horrified as Brian Pallister dares to say something nice about our ancestors.

  6. Canada has managed to cultivate a culture that is simultaneously self-hating and self-righteous. We have no pride in being Canadian. Yet we are confident we are better than everyone else.  -  Meghan Murphy

      Yes, either you bow your head and take a knee (as Trudeau does) or you're simply demonstrating your 'white fragility'.

  7. Girl wins spelling bee. No one cares. Black girl wins spelling bee = national news across the world.

      The Scripps winner is national news in the US every year. In recent years usually won by an Asian.

      If you watch Kelly and Ryan in the morning the Scripps winner is always on their show, and others.

  8. JWR decides against running for re-election, says Parliament has become toxic and ineffective under Trudeau. Gee, I thought he was going to reinvigorate parliament with his transparent government and his respect for the independence of committees...

      No he's just hissing and screaming, this is what a feminist government is all aboot

  9. Be kind of neat to put these here in Vancouver and Halifax, or even Toronto and Edmonton.

  10. Hospitals routinely at 100% capacity and we're going to spend over a billion dollars digging up century old bones and trying to identify them...

      We also removed some statues. Give credit where it’s due.

  11. When we let people like this into our country why do we not deport them when they commit crimes?

  12. Just got my second dose. Soon I will be communicating directly with Bill Gates through my microchips as we discuss ways to make Shady even crazier!

  13. India finds new and even more contagious variant - coming soon to Canada! Where we're too nice to have quarantines (especially in the runup to an election where Trudeau needs Indo-Canadian votes). 

  14. Canada joins Russia, China, Iran and North Korea in condemning Canada's human rights record.

  15. A federal judge on Thursday dismissed a lawsuit against Fox News after lawyers for the network argued that no "reasonable viewer" takes the primetime host Tucker Carlson seriously, a new court filing said.

  16. Trudeau scores multiple woke points with new Supreme Court judge - immigrant, Indian, Muslim, and bilingual.

    Legal acumen? Why would that matter?

  17. Hamas greets new Israeli government with fire bombs, restarts bombing of Gaza. Genius.

  18. Vancouver school board to phase out honours programs in math and science "because they do not comply with equity and inclusion goals".

      China must be laughing their asses off at us.

  19. First dose of vaccines only 30% effective against delta (Indian) variant the Trudeau government welcomed into Canada and which is now spreading rapidly from coast to coast.

      It’s not illegal to require citizens to quarantine, which he didn’t do until February 2021.

      Well the Delta Variant didn't become a thing until this Spring.

      No effective quarantine was ever established because the Liberals were afraid of offending ethnic voters who like to travel a lotl

  20. Without faith or nation, there is no greater whole beyond the individual. We need narratives and structures that bind us together, and give us something to strive for. There has to be something more than everyday life to which people feel they are contributing. Something to daydream about, even if we don’t directly participate. Something that makes us feel like we’re playing our part in a civilisation that is going somewhere, without falling back on the old test of strength against strength, or clashing ideologies.

  21. Lunatic in London runs down Muslim family and kills four of them. Where do these people come from?

      Where were you people a year ago when I was saying all these things? I must be like a prophet of doom, or something.

      But it's great to see everyone finally coming around, coming around. Just takes y'all a while. I know.  ;)

      The internet has contributed to that more than the pandemic. People find like-minded people online to justify their crazy ideas and theories. 

      I like to seek out people with different views to keep my debate skills up.

      This is no doubt a hate-motivated crime.   But to say that it's only happening to Muslms - by the way all these endless interviews and political posturing goes -  is what to me, is a bigger problem here, too.

       

      Like showing that black guy who singled out WHITE supremacy, in that statement he made on tv.  The guy who did the killing, isn't known to be in any groups.  We don't know why he hates Muslims.  It doesn't automatically mean a white person is a white supremacists when he goes killing visible minorities.

       

      Racism, is a fact of life.

      Racist-motivated crimes (directed to all - and that includes white people) must be addressed.

       

      If we want Canada to become a real non-racist nation, then don't go marginalizing and singling out any particular racial groups - and that includes WHITE people!

      Otherwise, this is all just lip service.   We're just another Hutus vs Tutsis - payback is always a btich.

  22. Is Netenyahu finally going to be... gone?
