she wants sell hospitals to business, and people voted her? This result is Not a good thing for public healthcare in the rest of Canada. Might be up to citizens, and the Courts to stand up for it. I am not confident in that route. and I am not sure federal liberals actually care about it.

Pre-season Game 1 : Bombers vs. L(k)’s GDT
Mark F replied to Geebrr's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
what did you use to make that? -
"hard drive" n ew euphemism😀. wealthy old men, powerful men, and religious fundamentalists (all faiths) seem to be generally obsessed by sexuality. eg: Falwell junior. The Mahatma. Clinton.

Obama "homeland security" (has that disturbing authoritarian ring) department warned years ago that the right wing were the greatest terror threat. report was dismissed as an outrage and shouted down by the right wing media, Republicans and others. Powell memorandum was the blueprint. Right wing read it, and followed it precisely. and it worked. brilliantly conceived and executed. People should read it. it echoes right here in this forum. "Powell identified the judiciary as one of the most important arenas for business activism. His suggestions led to the swift formation of dozens of corporate-funded legal foundations, many of which succeeded in using strategic litigation and distorted constitutional doctrines to overturn regulations on public health and the environment. The U.S. Chamber and its allies in particular have waged a multi-decade attack on the rights of victims of corporate crime and abuse. Perhaps the most infamous example of how corporate power has been advanced through the strategies seeded by Powell is last year’s Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which opened the floodgates to unlimited corporate contributions to influence elections." greenpeace analysis.

really? astonishing. overdriven wacky conspiracy driven pretzel logic fully engaged for that one. the idea of having intelligence service information discussed publicly, is that what he wants? G-d save us if he gets to play Prime minister. this buffoonery started with newt gingrich. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/11/newt-gingrich-says-youre-welcome/570832/

nailed it with this. His (or her) posts are devoid of facts, actual verified numbers. just strong opinions. on and on and on ad nauseum. odd.

re Justin being born wealthy, and being spoiled.... probably not the case. "Justin’s company, had assets worth $1,242,522 as of August 2011, according to a statement prepared by accounting firm BDO. Of this amount, $958,154 was held in short-term investments and $255,455 in cash. The Trudeaus are also beneficiaries of another numbered company that receives royalties from their father’s autobiography and other sources – about $10,000 a year, Trudeau estimates." that was his inheritance. https://globalnews.ca/news/392961/justin-trudeau-reveals-details-of-his-1-2-million-inheritance/ good article with more i fo. I lived through Pierre years. He did not seem like the type to spoil his kids. seemed the opposite actually. * I wish we had someone like Pierre Trudeau now. somebody with enough guts to deal with these right wing liars. Pierre would have eaten the likes of polievre for breakfast.

echo of The Governor of South Carolina, several days ago. "he was just joking" McMaster made the shocking remark Saturday during a convention in Lexington, South Carolina, for the state GOP. “I look forward to the day that Democrats are so rare, we have to hunt them with dogs,” he told a crowd of party members.

I should say, the beginning with the horse burning, was too much for me, so I bshould not have an opinion on the movie. vut John C. Reilly is top notch. The book is very funny, entertaining. I read a second book by the same author.... not so good.

The Sisters brothers is very entertaining. some violence. I agree with this review: "Hermann Kermit Warm is going to die. The enigmatic and powerful man known only as the Commodore has ordered it, and his henchmen, Eli and Charlie Sisters, will make sure of it. Though Eli doesn't share his brother's appetite for whiskey and killing, he's never known anything else. But their prey isn't an easy mark, and on the road from Oregon City to Warm's gold-mining claim outside Sacramento, Eli begins to question what he does for a living - and whom he does it for. With The Sisters Brothers, Patrick deWitt pays homage to the classic Western, transforming it into an unforgettable comic tour de force. Filled with a remarkable cast of characters - losers, cheaters, and ne'er-do-wells from all stripes of life - and told by a complex and compelling narrator, it is a violent, lustful odyssey through the underworld of the 1850s frontier that beautifully captures the humor, melancholy, and grit of the Old West, and two brothers bound by blood, violence, and love." The movie is not good. have you been to the cemetary at the church in east selkirk? probably. I think it is a Metis church. not sure. there is a grave there of someone born in the 1790's. lot of history around selkirk Mb.

2022/2023 Off-Season (League/Non-Bombers-specific News)

really good to be watching CFL football again. That was quite a bit better than some of the preseason games of a few years ago. both teams looked organized. looked like stumps have a few new monster size D lineman. (maybe not new) locksley doesnt look very good, I dont think he can complete much over ten or fifteen yards, and not a great runner. -

you mean the government should try to influence and regulate the "free " market? radical. scratch a right winger, and find lurking there, a socialist.

the price gouging that's happening is remarkable. other industries must have looked at what people would tolerate with the price of gas at the pump, and thought, "we can do that too." two avocados .... five dollars. avocado field worker.... 100 pounds... five dollars.

yikes. An impressive set of numbers for an electric-car The hypercar from the Croatian carmaker headquartered in Sveta Nedelja has managed to secure the title for most performance records broken in a single day- 23 independently verified speed records. "It effortlessly smashed existing benchmarks, running again and again under full throttle conditions without a single reliability issue or any significant loss of performance," said a blog post by Rimac. The most impressive records set by Nevera are 0-60mph (96.7 km/h) sprint in 1.74 seconds and 0-248 mph (400 km/h) in 21.32 seconds. All the acceleration records were set using a standard one-foot rollout and road tires (Michelin Cup 2 R) on a non-prepped asphalt track. In addition to the firm's internal measuring equipment, firms like Dewesoft and RaceLogic also independently verified the records. 👀 wow. https://interestingengineering.com/transportation/rimac-nevera-breaks-23-records fastest bike... killacycle " a bike so legendary it can only be seen in widescreen, the KillaCycle is the fastest electric bike on the planet. If you cannot wait a full second to get to 60 mph, this bike is the only one worth riding. The KillaCycle uses 500 hp from A123 Systems batteries and two DC motors weighing 82 pounds each to accelerate from 0-60 in 0.97 seconds. KillaCycle Racing owner and lead designer Bill Dube has been competing against himself to set new world record speeds with his electric bikes since 1999." comeon albertans, you want these.

getting old. I have to apologize and correct... the three books I read by Galeano are "the memory of fire trilogy," NOT "open veins" "The first book, Genesis, pays homage to the many origin stories of the tribes of the Americas, and paints a verdant portrait of life in the New World through the age of the conquistadors. The second book, Faces and Masks, spans the two centuries between the years 1700 and 1900, in which colonial powers plundered their newfound territories, ultimately giving way to a rising tide of dictators. And in the final installment, Century of the Wind, Galeano brings his story into the twentieth century, in which a fractured continent enters the modern age as popular revolts blaze from North to South. This celebrated series is a landmark of contemporary Latin American writing, and a brilliant document of culture. " see here. https://www.amazon.com/Memory-Fire-Trilogy-Genesis-Century-ebook/dp/B00JK55998 sorry bout that.

re post columbian history of First nations people.... this trilogy is must read. Eduardo Galeano. beautifully written, poetic, historical books which are Very emotionally disturbing. SORRY. Posted the wrong title. same author. it is https://www.amazon.com/Memory-Fire-Trilogy-Genesis-Century-ebook/dp/B00JK55998 "Weaving fact and imagery into a rich tapestry, Galeano never faltered as he fused scientific analysis of an immense vault of historical material, with the impassioned perspective of plundered peoples. Readers in all manner of great historical, economic, political, and social writing have found in Open Veins of Latin America a singularly rigorous analytical achievement which never lost vigor, an overwhelming narrative that makes history speak, unforgettably." just put hold on thomas king book, thanks.
