Apparently the hospitals, morgues and triage stations in Belarus are overloaded with Russian casualties and fatalities. An eighty man Russian elite commando unit has refused to deploy to Ukraine and some 200 sailors in Crimea have refused to leave their barracks.

The GOP has not given up on the strategy of the individual state governments arbitrarily choosing who their electors will be if they do not like the popular vote

But there was something rotten there.

"Star"?

And when these idiots lose again, they will not question their beliefs, they will seethe with indignance and claim fraud. They cannot admit that they are so out of touch with most voters that they will lose a lot more often than win.

Even if Trump does not really intend to run, he will keep up the pretense as long as possible to grift every last possible penny from his deluded followers.

No. Russia sits on the Security Council and has vetoed every criticism. It would also veto any military intervention.

Premiers Kenny, Moe and Sefanson's inspiration for dealing with COVID crisis revealed:

I was thinking more along the lines of a sheep-dip trench.

And Blackflies like you wouldn't believe.

I have a good memory- just not very long. My wife would say that description fits me in other ways as well.

No PCR tests. Period.

Bob Irving ought to be there. He has been associated with the Bombers for so long and so well that he has earned it.

This from someone who is facing jail time for driving with a suspended license.

A British military analyst said to day that Putin is down to choosing between losing early and small or late and big. The tide of world opinion and action has swung almost completely to supporting Ukraine and the Russian population seems to be beginning to become restless with Putin. In the meantime, Russian generals appear to have given up on a quick easy victory and the fierce resistance have convinced them that taking any of the major Ukrainian cities will be slow and costly, if it can be done at all. So they are resorting to bombarding the cities with aerial bombing, rockets and artillery from safe, low-casualty (for them) distances. The Ukrainian Turkey-sourced Bayraktar armed drones, anti-armour and anti-aircraft portable weapons have proven to be devastatingly effective. More and more of these are flooding in every day, and Poland is giving all 29 of it's Russian fighter jets to the US in exchange for equivalent NATO-compatible aircraft. The US will doubtless "lend" these to the Ukrainian air force who have been trained on them.

Surely you josh. And I am not calling you Josh.

I still hold to the opinion that they ought to have changed the Eskimos' name to "The Edmonton Ungulates". Sounds classy.

I would not expect too much protests or support from the Russian public- a poll that I saw on CNN last week indicated that about 60% supported Putin.

The Korean manufacturers seem to be racing to go all-EV first., so you may want to keep an eye on them.

The province has stopped the PCR lab tests. If what the doctor said is true, and I do not doubt it, the rapid Antigen tests are almost useless. As our premier said a month ago, we're on our own.

Got some really disturbing news today. My wife saw her doctor and commented that when she (my wife) went to Emergency at Seven Oaks with a medical emergency, the hospital did not check her for COVID symptoms apart from asking her if she was ill. Her doctor said that doctors and hospitals have been instructed by the Health Ministry to no longer do or recommend COVID testing on patients as the province was no longer doing the PCR testing due to expense as of some three weeks ago. . The doctor also advised her that the rapid tests are no more than 50% accurate, so you would be just as accurate to flip a coin to see if you have COVID or any of the variants. The provincial PCs are doing their thing once again and, as an added insult, the Free Press reported last week that Heather Stefanson stated that when she was minister of health, she was not aware of patients being shipped out province and there was no need for it, as there was adequate room in the existing CCU's.
