On a lighter note:...

What's up with the number of episodes in a "season?"

Bewitched 38 episodes / season. Pluribus 9 episodes

Next year the season premiere will be the season finally...

Get out your wallet, America; it looks like you're going to be subsidizing the oil companies in Venezuela.

Please sign and share the petition below with friends, family & colleagues across #Canada!

Several provinces (esp #Alberta #Ontario) are pushing for-profit healthcare in many areas, making access dependent on one’s financial status and in direct opposition to the Canada Healthcare Act.

The countries of NATO made a deal with the USA, that we would not pursue nuclear weapons if they defended us with theirs.

If the US invades Greenland with force, NATO disappears, and this deal with it. At that point there's no legal obligation to withhold development by any NATO nation.

Apparently this crystal is capable of absorbing 2 infrared photons, and re-radiating a green photon. Cool

One example of how Grok is being used to target women. Swedish Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch being sexualised, degraded, and humiliated step-by-step by Grok. All the images accurately reflect the prompts provided.

So, if only female reindeer have antlers in the winter, is Santa sexist?

Maybe Rudolf was putting on the red light...

Two measurements I cannot accept:

1. Americans using ounces for liquid
2. Brits using stones for weight
The only true way is the Canadian way

(As much as I wish it was a joke, it is in fact not one and this is exactly how it works here)

The War on Drugs campaign was started by U.S. President Richard Nixon in 1971.

Ravi Parmar is the Minister of "Forestry" in BC which has created so much harm in BC that towns like Port Alberni is rife with drugs and crime.

Yeah, he would he align himself with Nixon.

To prove that Vancouver is the shit, they have a Poo and Pee mascot. (Part of the green plan in Vancouver includes converting sewage to energy, at a facility built the Burrard Bridge.)
Poo and Pee celebrated the holidays early this year with gifts wrapped in reusable bags! 🎁Disposable wrap can create a lot of unnecessary waste — here are some common alternatives:
• Tea towels
• Table cloths
• Old maps
• Old magazines
