    Pope Francis- Medical Issues/Death April 20/ 2025

    I know that a lot of media outlets are calling him Pope Francis I but he won't be Francis I until there's a Francis II.  It's just that people are used to putting a number after the pope's name. It's like having no kids yet tacking "senior" on at the end of your name.

    Merged QMI/Sun Media TV News thread

    To be a bit cynical here, it's not about levelling out the playing field, it's about levelling off the freefall of the Sun Media bottom line. Quebecor is losing money hand over fist with the Sun Newspaper chain and Sun TV.  Readership is down to the point that staff is being laid off en masse...

    Norwegian gets tryout with NY Jets after kick trick shots video goes viral

    Personally, I'd like to see this done in front of a news crew.  I can point people to a youtube video of an eagle snatching a kid that went viral recently but that wasn't exactly 100% legit, was it?  Not saying the guy's a fake, I just take everything on youtube with a dumptruck or two of salt.

    Mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut

    Easily discounted, eh?  Fair's fair; your assertion is no more provable than mine and clearly indicated an equal level of bias so sauce for the goose I guess. I'm not any kind of anti-gun bleeding heart.  As a gun owner and a hunter myself, I still believe groups like the NRA and individuals...

    Why Hurricane Sandy caused so much damage

    So,  the first step is to cut down all trees?

    Mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut

    Well, that's an interesting take on the silence, I must admit.  Not one based in reality, but an interesting take nonetheless.  The NRA went incommunicado because anything they could have said in the time immediate following the events would have illicited a backlash.  That politicians who had...

    23 Jul 10: CF-18 Crash @ Lethbridge Airport

    I heard from an imaging tech that one of the cool upshots of the newer digital cameras is the built-in GPS units.  You can take good hi-res shots of the wreckage in place and the camera will geo-tag the location of each shot.  You can use those coordinates to map out the scene faster and more...

    F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)

    Hmmm.  So does that mean that the shearling coat it was wearing might be the new leather flight jacket I keep hearing is on the way?

    F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)

    The beauty of the Grippen is that it too only requires an Allen wrench for all maintenance.  It'll make tool control MUCH easier.  :D

    The Queen Visits Household Cavalry at Combermere Barracks

    Briefing by the officer gets a bored look. Chatting with the soldiers polishing kit gets an attentive look. Chatting with the soldier with a metal detector gets an interested look. Examining a .50 cal machine gun gets a great...big...grin. God Save the Queen  ;D

    Liberal Party of Canada Leadership

    I suspect that this nothing more suspicious than the candidates being added as they officially declare.  JT was the only one on the site because he was the only one that had submitted his paperwork by that point. That being said, they probably should have waited until at least 2 people had...

    Media Bias [Merged]

    Judging by the layoffs and losses at Sun media, it's the Sun and the CBC both falling off a cliff and the Sun gleefully crowing that the Mother Corp is going to hit the ground first.
