  2. Government birds that is. I had not heard of this before. It started as a joke but is showing how conspiracy theories can begin and just take off as people love to feel like they are in on the secret. This is brilliantly illustrated here. Google "birds aren't real" to find out the inside scoop. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/09/podcasts/the-daily/why-would-anybody-claim-that-birds-arent-real.html
  3. Completely untrue. I have it on good authority that the average Democrat legislator has a 10 point IQ advantage on the average Republican. Fact, I saw it on Facebook.
  4. It is hard for some Americans to understand a system that has more than two parties. Dividing by two is easier.
  5. CTE will lead to a decline in the game in the fairly near future. Although “soon to be extinct” is admittedly hyperbole.
  6. Well Windsor, that soon to be extinct game that Americans call football doesn’t have a World Cup. Because the world doesn’t care. We don’t like Bud either so very little lost.
  7. We are now winning at football. Just about have punched our ticket to the World Cup with our win over the USA.
  8. I hear that in the last 24 hours the protesters have been messing with the ambassador bridge. That’s not gonna go down very well.
  9. That's me and the over 85% of my co-workers. We think that the protesters are basically just assholes. Unlike some people I know who think they are terrorists. That is a little over the top for me.
  10. Someone will make money from the regular assortment of fools
  11. Norwegian immigrants would be alright. If America could attract any more.

    Trudeau is keeping his head down because he has no power to deal with the situation. He does not control the OPP or the Ottawa police. What needs to happen is impounding the vehicles. Once that starts to happen the other owners will remove theirs from danger and the protest will become just like any other protest. It is the allowing of heavy trucks to be used as campers and street blockers that is a new thing that they haven't had to deal with before. Someone who understands trucks and especially towing them needs to consulted. First a show of force and arrests as needed followed by disabling the vehicles and then removing them.

    Everyone I know, several dozen users, came out fine. Most of them would say better.
  14. Have you ever heard the term "mixed economy"? Show me a pure capitalist economy that works.
  15. Neil and those others will all be remembered long after Joe becomes "Joe who?". In the meantime Spotify is deep into damage control and has lost hundreds of million in market cap and some unknown number of subscribers. It's hard to keep paid subscribers. A lot of them are just looking for an excuse to getting around to cancelling. Now some of them have one.
  16. I don't understand why they don't just start arresting and impounding one by one. A show of force and as soon as it got serious most of them will melt away.
  17. Hey, some of my friends are Jews.

    Maybe he'll try calling a snap election again! Seriously both him and O'Toole are trying to outdo each other at pandering to the base.

    I didn't see this Saturday. I crossed the border that day at Emerson MB/Pembina ND. I lost 3 1/4 hours crawling along for 4 miles behind the assholes blocking the highway with something they are calling a "slow roll". But it's all good for me anyway because I'll still make my delivery on schedule in Plant City FL Wednesday AM. The good news is that the company I work for gave us a huge increase in our US mileage bonus that will work out to a net 20% increase in pay for me.
  20. I just noticed that we have a new all time leader in the likes count. And a very deserving younger one at that. It has been a good run for me but I just want to say watch out Bill. When you're at the top all the others want to try you. It gets kind of lonely up there kid.
  21. They are copies and share parts with Singer 111s. Somewhere in the neighbourhood of $500 to $750 is where I would start thinking.
  22. So unless it is a muzzle loader you are calling it semi-auto? You must have a very sharp razor to split that hair so finely!
  23. Pardon my ignorance. My understanding is that my lever action .22 is not semi-auto. Nor was my bolt action rifle.
