Never said I was 'special' champ...I just don't get my info from CBC and CTV like some 'other folks' lol. But hey, knock yourself out with those narratives.

Anyone know when the annual conservative leadership race is?

you misspelled conservative, it is spelt CRAP, Christian Reform Alliance Party, not conservative, will never be conservative. Those (frank)heads took a great organization and ran it into the ground.

Lol. True.

I have always been on the left, but could always have a good discussion with Conservatives, nowadays not so much.
Most of these guys are as dumb as a sack of hammers.

Yup.

Russia has banned all leaders of Canadian political parties plus a couple Ministers, from entering Russia. I am sure everyone of them had Russia as a top priority to visit.

I totally understand why no country wants to get involved, but I don't agree with it.

More concerning I think are the ex-pats that they’ll arrest from companies that are pulling out - fast food etc. imagine being an American exec for McDonalds and ending up in the Gulag for a decade over this!

I don’t think it’s happened yet, but the threat is out there.

It is definitely concerning, but why foreigners weren't out of there before the invasion is crazy. It was blatantly obvious what was happening.

Like the WNBA star who's in jail now from her weed pen? Ya, wouldn't step foot in Russia at this point for any reason.

Well that’s because you’re a left wing hippy artist instead of a good upstanding citizen. People with weed pens deserve to be in jail…

It’s late March and there has been at least 107 mass shootings so far this year in the US, per the Gun Violence Archive, which defines a mass shooting as four or more people shot, not including the shooter.

9,300 violent gun deaths so far this year (37,038 total last year). 304 of those gun deaths were at the hands of police.

Canada has had 3 violent gun related deaths so far.

Thats (frank)ing insane.

My girlfriend is originally from PA. Her brother-in-law is a nice guy, quiet, hipster looking dude, not a meat head... but owns like 70 guns. He just collects and shoots them, has an Instagram page and gets free guns to show them off. It's insane.

Was also at her niece's birthday once (she was turning 2) and my GF's brother was open carrying a gun. To a kid's birthday. In rural ass Pennsylvania. It's fucked.

Well with reading some of the most asinine comments, name calling, belittling of any opposition thoughts in Carols blog, I can understand why there are mass killings in the US, holy (frank), you can't even get realistic response to a normal question. Certainly is troublesome that there are people like this in real life.

Yeah, been avoiding the main thread. It’s become unbearable.

Is it you who works for rail or is it Golfing? One works for rail and the other seafaring. Can’t remember which one. Reason why I ask, reading up on the potential CP strike/lockout. If it lasts it’s going to hurt bad.

Golfing, I’m a mariner, although landlocked and office stuck in my latter years of my career….hopefully for only 6 more months. 😊
