Life time of living in BC has given me an appreciation for the absurd in politics and real life. Play bridge quite badly. Used to write. Love train travel. Happily married 40 years to man who does not play bridge and hates trains. I don't donate.
I really hope the Libs don't decide on an early election. I don't want another election until the Governor General puts her foot down and says "time's up."

These Epstein files - all the focus is on the US, but the financial shenanigans and sex crimes were not just in the US. It's getting interesting.

I don't think anyone offered thoughts and prayers as a solution to the tragedy.

Stephen Harper you say? Who accepted $1M from suspicious sources while he was still a sitting MP and incorporated Harper and Associates?

I've been sending out moldy oldies to ISA, because what else am I supposed to do with them. I thought I had them all on a memory stick, but found out I had 2/3 of one on a memory stick. I have no idea where the rest is, because I wrote it a few computers ago. Just whining.

Must be hard for satirical broadcasters to keep up with reality.
How utterly embarrassing.

Aside the point, but why would a billionaire pay Epstein hundreds of millions of dollars for "tax advice?" They have qualified peope for that. Heck. I have qualified people for that.
Hope the financial shenanigans are being investigated.

I discovered Israeli government procurement documents showing a Canadian group that's sending right-wing media personalities on free trips to Israel was granted funds from Israel's foreign ministry

The funding came through an arm of the ministry focused on managing “public perception of Israel”

This is a good idea. How much has the average 40 year old woman spent on bridal and baby showers and never to be worn again bridesmaids outfits? Time to send out invitations - moms would probably go for it. They'd get out of the house for an evening.
I think if you turn 40 and you’ve never had a bridal or baby registry, you should 100% do one for your birthday. I invite everyone I know to do this. I would LOVE to buy you something from it that you really want and would never buy for yourself. Register for a Switch2, man! Get some fancy sheets!

Stuff about Avro popping up. My dad told me about it. It was very expensive. Canada was pooped out from the war. The US didn't want a powerful neighbour.
Sometimes stuff just happens.

Sometimes I look at my spam folder in case there's something in there that shouldn't be (very rarely happens)
We've gone from Nigerian princes wanting to give me money to bills for icloud services that someone thinks I should pay. Wonder what the next wave will be.

It bothers me that a tragedy has devolved into a trans debate.
If the shooter had identified in any other way (woman, man, child) wouldn't the focus be on the victims and the need for better mental health services?

"The premier on Alberta Primetime last week said you had withdrawn your request to have your petition question go to a general referendum. What’s your reaction to what she had to say?"

Thomas Lukaszuk: I don’t know what reality the premier lives in. It’s completely a lie.

The UK has been colonised by immigrants says Ratcliffe. Much like Monaco where Ratcliffe is domiciled for tax purposes. Of course the Monaco immigrants are billionaires.

I looked at some of the images on the Epstein files. The first files are all photos of Epstien's house. It's like Lifestyles of the Tawdry and Tasteless. I didn't look at all of them, but there is one disturbing photo of a naked prepubescent girl with her face blocked out, with "artwork" of women

I call BS on Lesley Groff. Her emails are a constant in the files, making arrangements for meetings etc. If she didn't know what she was doing, she managed to be blind very efficiently.

I don't get humanoid robots anyway. Humans aren't the most rational of designs for efficiency purposes, and we have built in vulnerabilities, like knees and hips.
