The *issue at* play is constant boring consensus doom and gloom offered only with a side of contrived chuckles and stutters.

Could someone, anyone offer something enlightening, thought provoking or simply different?

Some pictures my grandfather took while on the corvette Orillia K119. By 1941, the North Atlantic had become a battlefield, ships were sunk, sailors lost, saved and it was an oil slick out there.

Family who were wounded and made it back with deeper scars in their souls.

Family who didn't make it. They had mothers, fathers, siblings and unborn children at home some graves are deep in the sea only known to God. They were the best of us.

Yes. The customers are told they must pay handsomely to attract a talented CEO. Shareholders have no reason to remove him because taxpayers guarantee a profit and the only accountability is to an unelected Regulatory Board.

How do you spell "begging" to keep a job when no one really wants you?

Voters clearly enjoy the media dismissed and diminished, a strategy that has been successful for Trump, Poilievre, and Harper before them. I hope the Parliamentary Press Gallery realizes that they have a public relations/perception crisis and correct it because it is critical for the country. .../2

As is typical, NSPower fails again. Just arrived at our cottage with out-of-province guests. Usual power outage. Cause of outage is "Transmission Interruption" which means you don't have electricity because there isn't any electricity.

*Transmission Interruption* indeed! What does that even mean NS Power? *Your electricity is off because there is no electricity*?????

Another nice pickup from back in the '80s when truck design made sense. 15" LT tires, no lifts, could reach over the side of the box to fetch stuff, bench seat no damn consol in the way. Once hauled 1500lbs and she never even flinched.
