    Is everyone celebrating spook day?(Halloween)

    It is just once a year and fun for kids. Just because you choose to believe in witches, devils and other things that don't exist doesn't mean you should project those beliefs on to kids who are too young to understand such things. They just want to have fun and eat candy, like kids are supposed to.

    the asparagus thread

    I had never tried asparagus until I went to Canadian army basic army officer training in Chilliwack BC. I swear they must have had an asparagus farm behind the kitchen we had it so much. I grew to like it a lot, including the joys of hollandaise sauce. These days my daughter will roast it in the...

    Beer from which countries did you drink?

    As a Canadian who has lived in the US for 22 years I'm sad to hear that the beer back home has gone downhill. I enjoyed Keith's, Kokanee, Sleemans, and Big Rock in Calgary back in the day. In the US I stay away from the mainstream swill. There is some good stuff from the smaller breweries and I...

    More than 150 Houston hospital workers fired or quit after refusing COVID-19 vaccine

    Now we'll get to hear Republicans whining about a company making and enforcing a vaccine policy. These would be the same Republicans who normally think companies should be able to treat employees like crap and fire them for any reason whatsoever. But you have to pander to that base.

    Gov. DeSantis to Take Executive Emergency Action Against Vaccine Passports

    To the knuckle dragging mouth breathers that vote for people like DeSantis in Florida - yes.

    Gov. DeSantis to Take Executive Emergency Action Against Vaccine Passports

    At this point DeSantis should just take a gun and walk around shooting people. He just cares about business and money and doesn't care about peoples lives at all. I live in south Florida (I'm a Canadian - not Florida Man), and have to listen to this moron on the news all the time. He's not...

    The Horrors of Living as a Left-Handed Person

    I'm left-handed. I play sports right handed, except for goalie in hockey which I played left-handed. My dad was right handed but played sports left-handed. Both my parents were right-handed, my sister and I are left-handed. There is no rhyme or reason it seems. No idea if it's correct, but I...

    Why has Canada done better than the U.S. in the pandemic? Apparently by listening to the scientists.

    As a Canadian currently living in the US I can't agree with and emphasize this statement enough. It is exasperating and frustrating watching people protest and complain about something as simple as wearing a mask in public. How can doing something that easy that helps the nation as a whole be bad?

    Can't take much more this

    In all seriousness, have you tried marijuana? My son is bipolar and was prescribed numerous meds that either didn't help or had such adverse side affects he couldn't take them. It's also helped my daughter deal with anxiety issues. Seeing something that actually helps your kids is a good...

    Should their vehicles be impounded or booted?

    Yes. For the fact that others have noted that family members, or even friends, might want/need access to the vehicle during that time. Why have a perfectly good vehicle sitting idle if it can be put to good use by someone else? Our cars are in both mine and my wifes name. Why should a judgement...

    Here we go again...

    I am a permanent resident in the US. I can purchase a firearm. Very few people suggest that as they know it would be impossible with all the gun fondlers in the US. All weapons aren't banned in my native Canada yet it's not a shooting gallery with more than a mass shooting per day. Reasonable...

    Florida officials deny library's request for New York Times, claiming "Fake news."

    Trump abandons idea of gun reforms

    Exactly. We've seen 'well trained' cops fire and miss or hit the wrong people. A scenario with mulitiple people deciding to return fire is a disaster in the making.

    Trump abandons idea of gun reforms

    He didn't say that at all. He said maybe a couple of kids could survive. Is that a bad thing? No one is expecting to stop all mass shootings. Yet gun fondlers seem to always say if something won't stop all killings why even try. Why not try something? Is the status quo good? Just like how all...

    Wexit: Will Alberta Ditch Canada?

    I'm a Canadian who lived in Calgary for 13 years. They will get mad and [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]ed off but they won't be leaving Canada any time soon. There are loud crazies in every group but the average person will carry on. Alberta has always been more conservative than other areas - happy when the...
