The teeming refuse...of their own burning shores...

Interesting...they need government to do that for them...

Congratulations - on summarizing the Fox talking points Now, just add something about Europeans freezing to death without Russian oil, and you're ready to start a youtube 'news channel' ^^ sarcasm ^^

The soup kitchen was closed for that period of time. They normally stop by our colony to pick it up - one of the volunteers lives locally

I assume this a rarity, but I have a moral problem with some of what goes on. A couple months ago, we were informed that a local soup kitchen wouldn't be needing our weekly contribution - because some scenes were being shot in the building.

Strange. You would think she could simply enroll as an adult.

Yes sir. You can have a beer or shot, tip 5 bucks and still have a reasonably priced meal

Never got scolded. Their daily roast sandwich, with the beef sliced right off the roast, was the stuff of legend.

Ok, gravy is happening next time.

Yeah, the Riverboat used to be not all that great. I have heard good things more recently.

That has to be a one off, Roxy's is usually great. Next time that happens, ask for a seat in the lounge. By the way, a burger platter with a drink is $15 - $20, the same or a little more than many fast food options - way more food and better quality

At least until the next study comes along.

I accept your 'few years back' game and raise a glass to Sept. 30 of 2022.

You can all do that you want. I've got BBQ chicken going on a traditional gas grill, at 5 PM tomorrow The Scotch is resting on the shelf... And, I'm going to start a long overdue grilling thread...in general discussion.

If I am correct, they get 50% of what a public school receives, provided they teach the provincial curriculum If they don't teach the curriculum or use a home school program - funding = 0

Agreed. Just providing historical context.

It is a plague and a travesty. And the same anger that they often present with, is what you get when you try to gently steer someone away from it

There was some logic to the strategy. Their rifles weren't very accurate, so you could kill more soldiers if you created a concentrated burst of fire The strategy persisted long after the American Revolution. Hell - WWI strategy wasn't much better.

Absolutely. And watch just one thing from Fox on say, youtube, and their algorithm bombards you with similar propaganda. It is quite hard for older people (for example) to navigate and decipher fact from fiction. In dealing with people who I would describes as 'victims of propaganda and confirmation bias' I find that the social media algorithms create by far the largest amount of harm

Yep. The kind of stuff that goes unnoticed. Gavin Walls was always very good at his gap responsibilities.
