  1. The entire country has shifted right. Remember "red tories" ? there is no such thing now. People here are saying jason kenney is the normal person in that party. Good god. The Conservatives are now john birch /Alex Jones right wing crackpots, the NDP now would have been centre right in the past. The NDP in British Columbia is promoting LNG gas, logging old growth, beating up, pepper spraying protesters, and "RE: Call to action to call BC Timber Sales at 604-702-5700 and call for 60-day extension of consultation for a five-year Pest Management Plan including herbicide spraying in the South Coast forestry covering Squamish to Hope We find it unbelievable in this day and age of carbon credits, environmental toxin awareness, greenhouse emissions, air quality indexes, and awareness of the historical effects of herbicide spraying both to the ecosystem and humans, that a government is planning a mass forestry herbicide spraying against native plants.." Probably not as bad as what came before them, but hardly what once was left wing. really, everything is going the wrong way, world wide.
  2. Think of Zach's character as a trucker convoy person. these guys are hilarious. Bit like kids in the hall.
  3. Nationally They had Robert Stanfield, Joe Clark. Even Mulroney, flawed, but much better than the current fools. The collapse of Alberta is going to be ugly. Sometime in the next ten years.
  4. Hard to say, but maybe we are watching the implosion of the two countries that ran the world since WW2. The lawyer handling the trump prosecution in New York state, pomerantz, a really big time lawyer, says that without question, Trump committed crimes. Yet the ag of new york state is not going to proceed. so pomerantz quit and went public. No explanation will be given for this decision not to proceed. Dont know when the limitation on stormy daniels expired, but trump was slam dunk guilty there. Cohen did time for it. there are so many backroom, billion dollar, dirty deals at play in the states.... chances are many of the leading figures are compromised. who would imagine trump, as president, with unlimited access, not getting whatever dirt he could find, on anyone and everyone. So completely depressing.
  5. Hard to know what is fact on putin debacle, but this sounds like a mess: 😂 "pen and paper system, postal mail" https://www.aviation24.be/amp/ "A powerful and effective cyberattack on the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsia) infrastructure that took place on Saturday morning has erased all documents, files, aircraft registration data and mails from the servers. In total, about 65 terabytes of data was erased. The news became known on Monday morning, the agency’s official website (favt.ru) went also down. Officially, the Russian Federation does not confirm anything but blamed it on temporary lack of access to internet and a malfunction of the electronic document flow system of Rosaviatsia that they switched over to a (pen and) paper version: information exchange will be carried out via AFTN channel (for urgent short message) and postal mail. It is alleged that the attack occurred due to poor performance of contractual obligations by company LLC “InfAvia”, which operates the IT infrastructure of Rosaviatsia. “The prosecutor’s office and the FSB have been sitting at Rosaviatsia since Saturday,” said a person familiar with the case. (putin seems to have stolen everything possible) The authorities are now looking for a backup, if any. The Aviation Herald wrote that no backup of these data exists due to lack of funds allocated by Russia’s Ministry of Finance."
  6. What we would all like to see Ukrainian and Russian troops join forces, go to Moscow, drag putin out of his hideout, and execute him ceausecu style. round up enablers like lavrov, and make them work for every meal. Putin last summer "Let's start with the fact that modern Ukraine was entirely created by Russia, more precisely, by the Bolshevik, communist Russia. This process began almost immediately after the 1917 revolution," Putin said on Monday. Putin added that Lenin, who rose to power after the downfall of the Romanov royal family, was the "author and creator" of Ukraine. " another Myth shattered....."Putin is very smart", along with soviet military might.
  7. Hf jets is pretty bad.
  8. Bet jamaican team loved this: "Still it was a chilly, windy afternoon with the temperature minus-five, feeling like minus-14 for the 4 p.m. ET kickoff. "
  9. Stanley needed to relax. Hes not a bad player.
  10. You know the world is facked, when there are people spending 700,000.00 British pounds on a single watch. "Russian agents seized millions of dollars worth of Audemars Piguet watches in Moscow in an apparent retaliation for Swiss sanctions banning luxury goods exports, Bloomberg reported, citing Swiss newspaper NZZ am Sonntag. The watches, which can cost more than £700,000 apiece, "
  11. Edit
  12. Thanks, agree, very interesting. Certainly appears to answer my question, at least in one case. "up to his elbows in blood." Stalin was pure evil. No better example of the perils of cult of personality/unlimited power/ rule by fear. I have no problem imagining trump or some other right wing american dictator ordering mass executions. warning... if anyone else watches it, there is footage of executions. Disturbing.
  13. Not sure why but sawyer is a bit annoying.
  14. Glad i am a casual jets fan.... taking this team seriously would be unenjoyable. feel a bit sorry sarah trying to be positive about this mess.
  15. Now ten years left to avert 1.5 c . all thats lacking is leadership. any way more reasons to get e car "Surprisingly, data obtained by Marketplace shows that electric vehicles are rarely stolen, and only one Tesla has ever been reported stolen in Ontario. Experts chalk this up to minimal infrastructure — and demand — for electric vehicles overseas, and enhanced security features like pass codes and 360 cameras. "
  16. This will never be broken, or equalled. it is probably one of the greatest feats in the history of team sports. And its up there with the bob beamon long jump. Stuff like that. Ive tried to find a video of it, but dont think there is one.
  17. Dubois, lowery, ehlers, connor wheeler, . maybe some others... play hard... but some of the others.... no, some plays, actuallynjust standing there watching an opponent with the puck. some of them seem to just fall over when theres a bit of contact. And nobody seems to be able to clear the net for the goalie. Big, small, medium, they just cant do it. also, getting the puck out of their own end is a real crqpshoot. A bit too exciting. when the jets were at their best a few years ago, they were almost always first to a loose puck. these guys.... not really. yeah tanev is missed. Beats me.
  18. scrolling down, I found this tidbit: "Some of the truckers interviewed, said they kind of liked it, and intended to continue the pant pissing after returning home, and possibly trying in other situations, such as grocery shopping, at the office, and going to the bar." "its a big time saver as well" added one of the truckers. Donald Trump, when asked about the practise, said he had had great success with it for many years, and recommended it highly. "Those are my people, great patriots" he said. Just another day in murica.
  19. I cant find anything..... but it would be interesting to compare the sums stolen by Putin, to what was amassed by Soviet dictators..... brezhnev, khruschev, stalin.... I think those men did not die wealthy, and stole only small fractions of what Putin has stolen. A big deal for them it seems was a summer home and expensive car. I have looked at some of their children, and I think some oF them had ordinary jobs. dont know though.
  20. Ottawa 3 wins in last 13 games.
  21. Jets D continues as usual. Invisible sometimes. ottawa player with puck behind helly, scheiffele three feet away, just stands there, swings stick as puck goes by to a senator , who is alone in front of the net. No jet d to be seen.
  22. Will get you about six months of gas for your car right now. Kidding. 2022 article. "It turns out, though, that leading researchers and EV companies have continued to develop batteries that last 1 million miles or longer. In China, BYD and Contemporary Amperex Technology, another battery giant, are each advertising an EV battery life of 750,000 to 1 million miles, equivalent to five to seven decades of average driving. In the West, a GM spokesman told me that the company’s Ultium battery, which will launch later this year in the electric Hummer, will last a million miles too. At Dalhousie, Dahn’s own test battery has now lasted 3 million miles, stretching the outer boundaries of the benchmark he set for long-life batteries. And Gene Berdichevsky, CEO of Sila Nanotechnologies, a silicon anode company, said he expects to ship a 30-year battery by the end of the decade. “It’s a ‘forever battery,’” Berdichevsky told me. “Thirty years might as well be forever.”" https://search.brave.com/search?q=tesla million mile battery&source=ios "Eric Bach, vice president of hardware engineering at Lucid, pointed out that the forthcoming Air has a battery warranty of up to 150,000 miles, but the actual mileage life expectancy of the vehicles are much higher and depend on the use or abuse conditions. “Typically,” he said, “high-mileage vehicles show wear and tear on the internal-combustion drivetrain, as well as chassis and Interior components. Electric powertrains, such as that of the Lucid Air, are inherently more durable and could likely even drive a million miles if treated well and maintained.”" anyway , people are still driving 2012 nissan leafs.
  23. "Electric cars are now three to six times cheaper to drive in the US as gas prices are getting higher and more volatile. ZETA is comparing the Ford F150, Toyota RAV4 and Honda Civic to the F150 Lightning, Rivian R1T, and Tesla Model 3. Above, you see a comparison between a full tank of gas and full battery pack for those vehicles, but more interestingly, here’s a comparison of the cost per mile:" https://electrek.co/2022/03/22/electric-cars-3-to-6-times-cheaper-to-drive-us-high-gas-prices/ ( I can't post the details) Ford F150 lightning..... $13.50. @Noeller
  24. Didnt the soviets in ww2 consider and treat their soldiers like toilet paper....no matter how many got killled, .just kept throwing more people into battle, till the other side was overwhelmed? seems to be the plan here. Good pr....for arms dealers, always need a formidable enemy.
  25. Maybe they can get through the power play with no shots, keep it going! lol only two shots on jets power play were by vegas😂
