I’m glad that evangelical nunces hold very little sway in Canada, and I hope they never do.
The goals to compel everyone to join their cult of the sky warlock won’t fly in Canada in our current social make up, yet we need to be elbows up and be on guard.

This original Sinclair ZX80 brochure was tucked inside an old computer magazine I was reading. What an important computer this was for Sinclair and the general public. A truly affordable home computer for all. This was the start of the UK's home computer boom that took place in the early 1980s.

This is an insightful interview with the PM, and hopefully future PM of Canada that exemplifies that the complex issues facing Canada are not solvable by three word slogans.

If Wayne Gretzky actually loved Canada he would tell Donald Trump to shut his mouth.
The convicted felon/sexual predator says we don't have a right to be a nation.
Standing up to him is a no brainer for anyone who loves Canada.
It's Vimy or Vichy.
Two simple choices.
Where do you stand Wayne?

Macron's Oval Office visit was a reminder of what it feels like when there's an honest President in the White House.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Absolutely batshit that Pierre Poilievre, who will probably be our next PM, is sitting down with present-day far-right grifter Jordan Peterson.

The alarm bells couldn’t blare any louder, folks!!!!!!
Pierre Poilievre says Canadians are too obsessed with race because of “wokeism” and agrees with Jordan Peterson that Canada essentially had to invent and import racism because it didn’t exist here before recent decades.

Canada is so fucked if this guy forms government.
