Here we go, my followers.

Now that the election is over and people are once again talking about electoral reform, I'm going to start promoting my preference.

This lovely Aussie explains this system beautifully.

It still produces majority governments and also blocks the fringes.

I can just imagine. I never thought id see something like this, ever. I’m in complete disbelief, and I’m in my 50’s.

While I’m passing out mind blowing facts, here’s another one!

All children carried by you were also carried by your mother.

Why?

Because a baby girl is born with every single egg she can ever develop.

Therefore the eggs she was born with were also inside her mother.

Canadians are ambidextrous measurers.

😊

#Canada

Americans: I use miles and pounds
Europeans: I use kilometres and kilograms
Canadians: [snorting a line of assorted measuring systems] I'm 5'8, I weigh 150lbs, horses weigh 1000kgs, my house is an hour away and I drive 80 km/h to get there, I need a cup of flour and 1L of milk

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

Oregon general’s testimony that National Guard troops ‘will be protecting any protesters’ gains traction online

Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.

I can’t wait to see the ratings side by side.

Is this real or just a joke?

Maybe he is expecting the Qatari’s to initiate war against us in Canada, so that he doesn’t have to take the blame.
