When somebody uses language that matches somebody else's perfectly, I will point it out. What does one do when one cannot or will not tolerate something/somebody? Remove or eliminate it/him/her . . . I was born in southern England only eleven years after the end of the Second World War. It...

Again, the convoy would not have happened were it not for Trudeau being Trudeau. Complaining about noise and disruption is legitimate. Just place the blame where it truly belongs.

That alleged "lawlessness and general idiocy" was of much less import that Trudeau's divisive, revolting, and destructive instigation, incitement, and overreaction.

If so, his timing is a bit off: These pollsters were right in 2016 and 2020 - and they think Harris has already lost her mojo By A.G. Gancarski Published Sep. 3, 2024, 6:57 p.m. ET Most polls show Vice President Kamala Harris leading in the swing states that will decide the election. But two...

They must have some pretty interesting recruiting videos.

China?

Thanks. I needed a good fucking. One person caused that lawful protest, and refused to even negotiate, then improperly and unjustifiably invoked the Emergency Measures Act. Put the blame where it belongs. “They are extremists who don’t believe in science, they’re often misogynists, also often...

A member of T Coy 4 RCR found a copy in Fanfare Books in Stratford in the mid-1970s, bought it, and showed it around to other members, many of whom ordered copies for themselves, and possibly for Christmas gifts. The two sweet-little-old-ladies who ran the shop became curious about why so many...

Or maybe he did, but it just looked further away.

And sufficient reliable energy production (nuclear, hydro, natural gas, coal etcetera) plus transmission lines have been built and paid for. I love the videos on Youtube that show Tesla etcetera owners pulling their generators out of their trunks to recharge on the side of the highway. The...

That thinking doesn't seem to work so well for cities (like Edmonton) who have (foolishly) bought electric bus fleets. They're not getting the endurance that they were led to expect, especially in cold weather, plus other problems like manufacturers going out of business. Hybrid vehicles...

"The report compares the purchase price of a new vehicle, along with federal and provincial rebates for electric vehicles and the operating and maintenance costs over eight years." So those who cannot afford to buy electric vehicles are forced to subsidize those who can through their taxes...

I avert my gaze whenever I pass that travesty, preferring to remember the Dundas Street Armoury as it was, inside and out, in simpler and happier times. I have no idea of what it looks like now.

I spent a fair amount of time - measured in periods of weeks over three decades - operating out of field locations in a variety of not-always-nice weather conditions including such temperatures, living in floorless accommodations with walls that flapped around, often packing up and moving once...

Yes, of course, but it would be far more worthwhile - and satisfying - to bang government heads against that wall.

That was in comparison to another choice.

That was generally true in the Caracalla Therme Home (the outdoor sauna shown post-dates my time) in Baden-Baden as well - the older and fatter, the skimpier the bikini. Bathing suits were required throughout, but were not permitted in the solarium upstairs, which included the saunas and a bar -...

No, I never wore it again. I was much younger and fresher then, and, as I said, Speedos were formal wear at Baggersees (literal translation: "digger lake"). They were very common, especially among many larger and older than I was then, and some wore less. You would not believe how much stress...

Another random weapon memory from Germany - the only non-pistol one . . . We made a road trip to some Bundeswehr range during Fallex one year. The only thing that I remember was the shittiest grenade range that I've ever seen. It was a gloomy grey day, and everything was mud. The target area...

Thanks. I don't recall shooting either while I was there, only pistol into an old gravel-filled concrete jet .50 cal gun test butt thing. And those of us who bought various toys at the rod and Gun Club always brought them along for more fun.
