Fellow traveler in this temporal reality🌊 🇨🇦. Will follow back. Steampunk. Art. Technology. Politics. Science. I laugh at dad jokes.
Notice he said he's putting himself in charge of the decision?

This is basically Trump putting out his greedy hand and saying to Netflix, how much you gonna pay me to make this happen.

Dozy Donald sleeping again.

Too old, too incompetent, too much in Putin's pocket, to be president.

‪Good writers will try to give villains plausible motivation.

Cardboard or cartoon bad guys don't challenge our moral smugness.

But, when it's American airmen returning to kill survivors, we are forced to ask, are we now the bad guys?

And if we don't demand accountability, do we share this blame?

Listening to "The Rest Is History" podcast about the rise of Hitler leading to WWII.

Many eerie parallels to Trump's America.

Even an attempt on Hitler's life, like the attempt on Trump, that gains him public sympathy.

Final solution at this point just deportation, like what ICE is doing now.

Just finished reading "The Wreck of the Mary Deare", by Hammond Innes.

It is a rollicking good old sea yarn and thriller by a very capable author. Liked it a lot.

I love Bloom County.

This one became a running joke between my friends where we'd repeat the punch line anytime we wanted a laugh.

Just learned there is a #Steampunk museum in New Zealand.

Another reason to love that country!

"Your First Amendment rights are down there on the sidewalk", said one #ICE thug as he slammed a protester down in Chicago.

Trump has emboldened & funded this force to believe they are beyond the law or any constitutional oversight.

They are practicing terror on the way to creating a police state

The news coverage of the #UCP Party AGM reveals there are many dark, seditious, & anti-Canadian sentiments in their tent.

Danielle Sith's flirting with separation has only emboldened them.

Hard to believe we let a party with so many wackos in it gain power in #Alberta.

For those who read history, how Nazis would burst into homes and drag off Jewish families. You wondered why the German people let that happen.

Wonder no more, it's happening in the US today as ICE raids terrorize Latino communities.

This is a racist policy.

All this invoking of the "Not Withstanding Clause" to take away our human rights is giving Danielle Sith a bad reputation.

People are beginning to call her the "Wicked Witch of the West".

And we all know what happens to wicked witches.

I like the image in the background of the new plates.

Not a fan of the new slogan. Much preferred "Wild Rose Country"

But, I guess if the new plates say "strong and free", truth in advertising means we won't have to pay for registrations anymore.

Says it right there .... free.

For Canadians, choosing Carney vs Poilievre should be like stock-holders comparing CEO resumes.

PP-Life-long politician, UofC undergrad, small-time landlord.

Carney-former governor Bank of Canada & England, economic degree Harvard, Masters & Doctorate, Oxford.

Sorry PP, you don't make the cut.

Danielle Sith says she wants the feds to repeal 9 bad laws.

I've got a simpler plan.

I just want Alberta to remove one bad premier.

Getting sick of all the individual paywalls put up preventing me from reading news articles.

I don't want to subscribe and keep track of payments to 30 different newspapers and magazines.

Take a tip from cable providers. Bundle a bunch together so I can pay one subscription and get access to all.

Today they are playing the 112th Grey Cup in Canada.

My first interest in professional sports was the CFL as I grew up in Edmonton during the dynasty years of the late 70's and early 80's.

Best of luck to the Rough Riders and the Als. I know this will be another exciting game.

The more I look at #Gripen I feel it is better choice for #Canada.

It's less expensive to buy and way less expensive to run.

US reports the #F35 cost to run is $42,000 per hour.

The Gripen cost to run is according to Swedish air force, just $2,000 an hour.

And we can build it ourselves!

What is Megan Kelly trying to say? I think she knows abusing is 15 year old is still paedophilia, and statutory rape.

Why the distinction with age? Is this somehow to make Epstein less of a monster so if relationship with Trump comes out, it is not as damaging?

Is MAGA moving the goalposts?

When you post something you think is brilliant and you only get a single like.

Sigh...

Ever get the feeling the algorithm doesn't like you?

The Canadian manufacturing advantage.

Stability and access to raw materials.

Japanese companies are expanding car production in Canada.

Smart reasons.

Tariff free steel and aluminum, inexpensive clean power, stable trade agreements with rest of world that are not changed on a whim.
November 15, 2025 at 7:38 PM
Funny how the MAGA friendly media was all about investigating the Epstein files when they thought it might expose Democrats.

But, now that it's clear Trump was involved, it's "move on, nothing to see here"

Just for fun, perused a couple of on-line grocery flyers from the US.

Conclusion - Canadians crossing the border to shop will no longer be a thing.

US food prices - expensive!

Most prices more than in our stores, and paying with $US, currency 35% more valuable than ours!

Trump tariffs?

If Danielle Sith (not a typo, she's a dark being) would propose high-speed rail as a national project instead of wanting to shove a northern pipeline down BC's throat , maybe she'd get fed support.

But, then her oil buddies wouldn't like a green project that'd take thousands of cars off the road.
