Fatty Liver

Pop, sports drinks and juice are some of the worst foods people can put into their bodies, way too much sugar, not good for the health of adults....or children for that matter. A little bit of research will return volumes of evidence showing how destructive the habitual consumption of excess sugar is, our bodies need sugar but only in small quantities, nothing natural about the amount of sugar consumed in one can of coke or pepsi. Don't buy that ****.

Honestly, they've reduced their political reasoning down to two words, "**** Trudeau", which is at least one more word than the brainless idiots who shout "Freedom!".

"They Call Me Magic" a documentary on Johnson now streaming is well done and almost as entertaining as the series.

Poilievre is just another acolyte of the Calgary School, nothing new, different or original is ever going to come out of his mouth, it's all republican lite. The CPC has to stop going back to this well, it's poisoned.

Do we know that it wasn't the CFLPA that required the salary cap on global players, to keep them at the back of the bus? Messing with the ratio always involves negotiations from both sides.

In a perfect world, say 6 Mexican players make CFL rosters and become visible contributors, creating an attainable career path would inspire hundreds or maybe even thousands of amateurs and semi-pros playing the equivalent of beer league football in Mexico to take their training to the next level in the hope of following their countrymen. For 99% of these players the goal of playing in the NFL is not realistic, if the CFL can demonstrate there is a valid opportunity and a chance of success, such an initiative could create it's own momentum. I would predict if there were 10 Mexican players in the CFL, interest in CFL broadcasts in Mexico would begin to establish itself. I really can't see this potential existing for any of the smaller global football communities, the focus should be on Mexico, which has a huge viewing audience that could be exploited.

It's obviously not their only policy, but it is a policy many people would approve of if they attempted to implement it. I can't think of a single valid reason to own a handgun.

But it's not a random weather pattern it's quite predictable, they've been able to track Colorado lows since the 50's, the result depends on the time of year and the moisture content. Warm windy days in the fall are also caused by Colorado lows tracking into Southern MB., but they rarely draw attention to it because there is little consequence.

If I was in the Ukraine, I'd get the hell out and wouldn't come back, as an estimated 4.3 million Ukrainians refugees have already fled the country, as well as an additional 6.5 million who have been displaced from their homes. Change in regimes/govt. doesn't mean much to the average citizen, of course there is corruption at all levels, but for the average person life goes on much as it would, that is until your city, home and all infrastructure are destroyed. You're welcome to egg on the fight or join in if you like, but there won't be anything left to celebrate when it's over win or lose except blood and destruction. If you have children all the worse, as their lives will never rise to the level of normalcy again. It took decades to rebuild Europe after WW2, and that was with the generous assistance of the Marshall Plan. Where are the funds to repair Ukraine going to come from once Russia claims title to the land? There are still blocks in St. Petersburg that lay in ruin after the Germans shelled them in WW2, eventually they'll get around to clearing them up, once funds allow....Ukraine will have to wait in line. I've spent several months in both Russia and Ukraine and honestly as an observer couldn't tell the difference between the two countries, people are mostly engaging, friendly and hospitable. Both countries are a bit shambolic, but so are most non-Western countries, yet they retain values we as a society had in the past, but abandoned well over 50 years ago, so it's not all bad. As for Finland being a sovereign nation operating in its own best interest, how do you think the US would react if Canada decided to nationalize it's oil and gas sectors or attempted to take ownership of the water within our borders? Until the US, China and Russia are chopped into smaller bits, we will always be subject to their influence. I ain't much for arguing, so I'll leave the last word to you. Peace out.

That's not really a rational or reasonable stance, Russia is not going away even with the eventual demise of Putin. As I said Finland and Russia have co-existed in peace since the end of WW2, I can't see the Finns willingly provoking the destruction Russia has wreaked upon Ukraine within their borders. It doesn't matter who wins, what good is having resolve when you're left living in rubble?

Finland has maintained a tenuous relation with Russia throughout their history, the Northern city of Vyborg has changed hands a few times and has been part of Russia since the end of WW2. Living virtually on their doorstep with the border being less than 200 kms. away from St. Petersburg, I can't see Russia ever allowing NATO that close, or the Finns accepting the stress and fracture joining NATO would invite. Finland is better off maintaining their neutrality and preserving their country. As long as they don't have any NG or petroleum reserves that Russia covets this move should be a bluff, hopefully they will continue to co-exist in peace.

Why now? There have been hundreds of such events in the last hundred years, the US killed an estimated 151,000 civilians in Iraq and 71,000 more in Afghanistan within the last 20 years alone, and that's just a WAG as they can't be bothered to keep track or report the actual body count. What for and why? Ukraine is just the flavour of the day. War crimes??? I still can't figure out why dropping a bomb out of an aeroplane is not considered a war crime, and yet humans have been doing it regularly for over a hundred years. I find the bombing of Hamburg during WW2 to be particularly disturbing as I had 2 uncles that participated in these raids. As part of a sustained campaign of strategic bombing during World War II, the attack during the last week of July 1943, code named Operation Gomorrah, created one of the largest firestorms raised by the Royal Air Force and United States Army Air Forces in World War II,[2] killing an estimated 37,000 civilians and wounding 180,000 more in Hamburg, and virtually destroying most of the city. Hamburg was selected as a target because it was considered particularly susceptible to attack with incendiaries, which, from the experience of the Blitz, were felt to inflict more damage than just high explosive bombs. Hamburg also contained a high number of targets supporting the German war effort and was relatively easy for navigators to find. Careful research was done on behalf of both the RAF and USAAF to discover the optimum mix of high explosives and incendiaries. Before the development of the firestorm in Hamburg, there had been no rain for some time and everything was very dry.[3] The unusually warm weather and good conditions ensured that the bombing was highly concentrated around the intended targets, and helped the resulting conflagration create a vortex and whirling updraft of super-heated air which became a 460 meter high tornado of fire. Sure sounds like the pre-meditated murder of civilians. Lots more grisly details to be found here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Hamburg_in_World_War_II

I am a witness, I live on the edge of the massive wildfire and flooding disasters that hit BC within the last year, when I try to explain how terrifying this experience is to friends and family living in AB. and MB. they absolutely do not believe how serious the threat is. If you can't see the damage or choose to look away, it probably isn't real.

The colour of a governing parties flag matters not, once elected they are all beholden to the large corporate stakeholders that sustain industry and create employment within their jurisdiction. For the most part the Horgan NDP govt. has done a good job over the last few years, managing the economy, handling Covid and avoiding scandals. If Horgan ever decided not to do the biding of the forestry industry in BC, he would chance being found dead in a ditch shortly afterward.

Whatever, it's up to the party to realize their problems and correct them, if they don't they'll continue to kick the can down the road and will never get elected. At some point a strong conservative group in the East will get nostalgic for the old PC brand and divorce themselves from the Western crackpots who stole the banner in 1993 when Preston Manning ejaculated upon Canada. As far as this **** goes, the finger always points back to origins in Alberta, the home of dumb politics.

Yah, not too likely. "Almost 3.9 million refugees have left Ukraine (as of 28 March 2022), while an estimated 6.5 million people have been displaced within the country (as of 18 March 2022). In total, more than ten million people – almost a quarter of the population – had left their homes in Ukraine by 20 March." That many less Ukrainians for Putin to deal with, it shouldn't be too difficult finding ethnic Russians to fill the gaps left by the Ukrainians who have fled once the infrastructure is restored. Weather-wise Ukraine is like comparing BC to the prairies, a much more temperate and comfortable place to live compared to the frigid steppes of Russia. The process may take a longtime if the Ukrainians continue to fight, but eventually I think his plan is to erase the Ukraine nation from all maps and absorb the territory into Russia.

I don't believe any adult should be exempt from viewing images of events occurring today or from the past. In fact witnessing and acknowledging such events should be mandatory public education, adverting of eyes from reality should be met with a jackboot to the ass.

Brezhnev, Khruschev and Stalin were all communists, they basically owned nothing as everything belonged to the state. Here is a link to a great documentary on Kruschev, if you jump to the end it shows him planting potatoes in his garden beside his ramshackle dacha, not exactly leading the life of a Tsar. Here is what Russia is supposed to be today "The 1993 constitution declares Russia a democratic, federative, law-based state with a republican form of government. State power is divided among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. Diversity of ideologies and religions is sanctioned, and a state or compulsory ideology may not be adopted." Putin skipped some steps by jumping directly to the "gilded age" and anointed a small network of robber barons to run the Russian economy.

Amazingly accurate, this video was made in April 2021.

Let the shenanigans begin! The upcoming AB UCP leadership review looks to be a ****-show from the get-go, Jason Kenney changing the rules of the vote as needed in a desperate attempt to cling to power. Twenty thousand, they were expecting 3,000. That's the estimated number of people the United Conservative Party (UCP) executive says could descend on the upcoming leadership review of Premier Jason Kenney. It could end up being thousands more. It's a number no one has been able to explain and one that's causing headaches for every group involved — Kenney's campaign team, the party executive, the constituency associations and those trying to oust the premier. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/united-conservative-party-ucp-jason-kenney-red-deer-1.6393577 Meanwhile more evidence has come to light that shows Kenney was directly involved in Jeff Callaway’s kamikaze leadership bid to cut down Brian Jean in the initial UCP leadership race that occurred in 2017. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/jason-kenney-kamikaze-campaign-investigations-1.6385745?__vfz=medium%3Dsharebar With these tricksters, the fun never ends!

You never know, but I don't get the sense the current Liberal party is as ego driven as it was in the past when the Chretien/Martin camps were battling for control. I think as a group they're smart enough to realize they currently have a distinct advantage in support over the opposition parties and if they push forward as a cohesive front they can remain the governing party for the foreseeable future. They've just come through a very difficult stretch without visible cracks and unless Mark Carney decides he wants to get nasty and steal the crown for himself, they should continue onward without any reasonable alternative in sight. As long as the Conservatives continue to splinter their ranks, they'll have a difficult time gaining any momentum with voters.

Sounds like the "Freedom Convoy" supporters, trying to convince them they don't represent the majority is futile.

I'm fairly confident Chrystia Freeland will step in as the next PM once Trudeau decides he's had enough.

This video does a good job of explaining the "why now" question. Where are the other members of the tank crew? I'm pretty sure a tank of that size requires at least 4 to operate as designed.....maybe he stole it and took off.

Nobody wins a war, the misery and the displacement of Ukrainians and dead Russian soldiers will last beyond a lifetime for millions. Nothing is gained by either side continuing to fight, come to whatever agreement, lay down arms and begin to rebuild while there are still funds enough to do so. The color of the flag is only temporary and the lines on a map are artificial, ongoing fighting will lead to the total destruction of Ukrainian cities and the permanent displacement of millions of citizens who are unlikely ever to return.
