Harper set the tone earlier. Scorched earth if necessary to protect our sovereignty. the Harper Doctrine. I’m claiming that now.

In which case my opinion of Harper has just gone up.

Is this a troll or does it have actual implications?

The parallels with the 1930s are frightening.

On Broadway the current revival of Cabaret is getting a combination of gasps, and inappropriate applause.

 

[Good2Golf]

Like any good hockey team, you need a few brawlers.

As many of our Southern neighbours would say…’trading paint!’

Ummm... there is no BC Ferry route from Canada to the US

There is the Blackball Ferry Line route from Victoria to Port Angeles, and the walk on ferry from Victoria to Seattle, but they're not operated by BC Ferry...

It's the equivalent of PEI declaring that they've secured their land border with the USA.

It would be hard to beat the original

I figured as much haha.

I saw a touring company in Toronto in '98 or '99, going in not knowing the story.

The finale scene of the first act. The dance with the gorilla. The final scene.

Properly done, the entire show is all about seduction and betrayal.

And I now know how seductive a pineapple can be...

‘I respect that’: Trump on Ford suspending electricity surcharge

Donald Trump says he respects Doug Ford’s decision to suspend Ontario’s surcharge on electricity, saying ‘there’s a very strong man in Canada.’

LOL.

Just imagine if Trump had to deal with not only Dougie but Rob Ford as well - lol - game, set and match over in Canada's favour.

LOL.

Wow. That’s a bit of an olive branch, I think.

I think Trump’s elevating Ford so that he can be seen to deal with him without lowering himself.

And also, and I’m just spitballing here - if that dealing goes OK, watch Trump start talking about “Prime Minister Ford” to undermine Carney in the election.

We all have scars from watching Téléfrançais as kids, but yours are worse.

Are you as sure that the new CJCS will be true to the Constitution? Or fuckwit PH?

No, but I just need to have faith in 3 colors and their personnel

If you don't know the story of Cabaret then Pineapple may not resonate.

"What would you do?"

The entire show is a metaphorical kick in the balls. It's the only musical I have seen where the audience, at the end, doesn't know whether to applaud the performances or just walk out, depressed.

Ever watch a French film?

 

[Kirkhill]

Maybe - I’d venture to say a number of Canadians would not take up arms. I dare say some would.

Only some folks in Northern Ireland took up arms.

 

[Kirkhill]

I sure hope everyone here would do their duty as members of the Armed Forces.

And, like the Danish Army of 1940, do what their government instructed them to do.

Maybe mods can split the Red Dawn aspects from several threads here.

But you are in tornado alley. Have they done anything to harden them against wind, debris, hail, etc.?


But it is so flat and boring. I was doing some work with ground search teams a number of years ago and somebody quipped that the highest point of land was a 401 overpass. Another said 'what's the first thing you do when responding to a lost person'. Yell "stand up!"

We're not really in tornado alley. We've had a couple in the previous years, but we certainly arent Nebraska. Our green houses are double wall plastic film. Inflatable that allows a dead air space for insulation. Not impervious, but no where near as fragile as glass. Nobody uses glass anymore. Very easy and fast to replace or repair. We aren’t new to the game, we are the leader when it comes to greenhouses. We are the technology everyone else copies.

It is flat. As I said earlier, it was the lake bottom at one time. The highest spot in the county is the municipal dump. Your source must've been an interloper that didn’t know what he was talking about.
