  1. There is an awful lot of doodoo piling up around the Manitoba PC government. All the NDP and Liberals need do is stand back and make more popcorn.
  2. Butbutbut...he was doing so well as the greatest visionary in Alberta history- almost as well as he did as a federal minister under Harper.
  3. Buffalo shooter let some people see plans just before attack Shortly before he opened fire, the white gunman accused of killing 10 Black people at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket allowed a small group of people to see his detailed plans for the attack, which he had been chronicling for months in a private, online diary. Discord, the chat platform where 18-year-old Payton Gendron kept the diary, confirmed Wednesday that an invitation to access his private writings was sent to the group about a half-hour before Saturday’s attack at Tops Friendly Market, which he live-streamed on another online service. Some of them accepted. Gendron’s diary and its racist, anti-Semitic entries dated to last November included step-by-step descriptions of his assault plans, a detailed account of a reconnaissance trip he made to Buffalo in March, and maps of the store that he drew by hand. “What we know at this time is that a private, invite-only server was created by the suspect to serve as a personal diary chat log,” a Discord spokesperson said in a written statement. “Approximately 30 minutes prior to the attack, however, a small group of people were invited to and joined the server. Before that, our records indicate no other people saw the diary chat log in this private server.” It wasn’t clear if any of the people who accessed Gendron’s diary or saw his livestream did anything to alert the authorities or attempt to stop the attack. Discord said it removed Gendron’s diary as soon as the platform became aware of it, in accordance with the company’s policies against violent extremism. Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said Monday that investigators were working to obtain, verify and review Gendron’s online postings. Copies of his Discord diary — essentially a transcript of his postings to his private chat log — briefly surfaced elsewhere online after the shooting, along with a 180-page screed attributed to him. Both were laced with white supremacist beliefs echoing a baseless extremist conspiracy theory about a plot to diminish the influence of white people. https://www.thedailybeast.com/buffalo-shooter-payton-gendron-let-a-small-group-view-his-plans-on-discord-30-minutes-before-attack?ref=home
  4. It was in violation of the terms of her release.
  5. My comment was made tongue in cheek
  6. It's called "displacement", where something is crappy in your life, so you find a target of opportunity to dump on and blame.
  7. I should think that his fiasco regarding Twitter has affected the value of his holdings by several billion dollars. I am beginning to suspect all that ganja he has been smoking is beginning to affect his thinking.
  8. Justin Trudeau could walk on water and heal wounded swans by touch and the haters would not accept him. Their hatred is irrational and unchangeable and would settle nothing less than rule by a minority that would fall on each others in short order.
  9. Katz' reputation preceded him but he got elected anyways and to even a casual observer, there were a number of questionable real estate deals and connections during his administration. Any elected official who sees the public purse as a personal trough deserves to be held to account rigourously.
  10. I do not know why white Americans are afraid of becoming a minority. After all, they could expect to be treated as they have treated minorities so far,
  11. I have always wondered what the heck happened to Ealey- he went from all-star to a mediocre backup in such a short time. Even when he subbed in, he did nothing to redeem himself.
  12. Ron DeSantis signs bill criminalizing peaceful protests in residential neighborhoods Florida's right-wing Republican Governor Ron DeSantis on Monday signed a bill into law that criminalizes peaceful protests in residential neighborhoods. The draconian restrictions on free speech were levied in response to the nationwide explosion of demonstrations directed at the United States Supreme Court's anticipated overturning of abortion rights that were established in Roe versus Wade. But when pro-choice activists began picketing outside the homes of the five Associate Justices who were named in the draft majority opinion that was leaked last month, advocates for forced birth like DeSantis decided that the Constitution's First Amendment right to petition the government should be suspended. None of the Court's nine jurists, however, live in Florida. “Sending unruly mobs to private residences, like we have seen with the angry crowds in front of the homes of Supreme Court justices, is inappropriate,” DeSantis said in a press release. “This bill will provide protection to those living in residential communities and I am glad to sign it into law.” DeSantis' statement added that "once this law takes effect, law enforcement officers will provide a warning to any person picketing or protesting outside of a dwelling and will make arrests for residential picketing only if the person does not peaceably disperse after the warning. Residential picketing will be punishable as a second-degree misdemeanor." https://www.alternet.org/2022/05/ron-desantis-criminalizes-peaceful-protests/
  13. A friend of ours has just had her dog diagnosed with Lyme disease and her vet told her there is an outbreak here in Winnipeg, and presumably in adjacent areas. Lyme disease is transmitted to dogs through the bite of a deer tick. Once in the blood stream, the bacteria that causes Lyme disease is carried to many parts of the body and commonly localizes in the joints and kidneys. Deer ticks range from the Midwest to the Eastern United States and throughout Canada with the highest numbers found east of Manitoba. Not all deer ticks carry the bacteria that causes Lyme disease, but certain areas have been identified as higher risk areas for Lyme disease. Check with your veterinarian to find out if your area is a high-risk area. Dogs cannot transmit Lyme disease to one another or to humans. The infection always comes directly from a tick bite. In dogs, signs of Lyme disease can take 2-5 months to appear. Lameness and joint pain, especially in the knee and elbow joints, are often the first signs noticed with Lyme disease. This lameness may shift from leg to leg or may occur intermittently. Dogs may also have a fever. In some cases, the disease resolves on its own, but in other cases it may be long-term and may affect the kidneys and heart resulting in death. Some dogs don’t have any obvious signs so yearly testing for Lyme disease, along with heartworm testing, is highly recommended. While there is treatment available for Lyme disease, it can be difficult to treat, especially if it’s not caught early. Prevention is always easier than treatment.Many different tick preventives are available, and your veterinarian will help you chose a preventive that suits you and your pet’s lifestyle. Options include topical preventives (typically applied on a pet’s skin and at the back of the neck) such as Frontline® Plus, Bravecto® Topical Solution, and Advantix®. Chewable preventives include NexGard®, Simparica®, and Bravecto® Chew. Check your pets daily for ticks, especially if you live a high-risk area. Give your dog a full once over, but be sure to focus on the following areas: in and around the ears, around the eyelids, under the collar, between the toes, around the tail, between the back legs, and under the front legs. If you find a tick on your pet, it’s important to remove it right away. The bacteria that causes Lyme disease can pass through small cuts or wounds in your skin, so be sure to wear disposable gloves when removing ticks. Juvenile deer ticks are about the size of a pinhead but are more obvious in the adult phase and after feeding on a bloodmeal. If you find a tick attached to your pet, grasp it with tweezers near the dog’s skin and firmly pull it straight out. Pull the tick with even, steady pressure—it may take a minute of two for the tick to release its grip. If you are unable or unsure of how to remove the tick, or if the tick’s body breaks away from its head, leaving the head in the skin, contact your veterinarian. --
  14. If it was the rapid test, it is not to be trusted, Go by the symptoms.
  15. This is why the players have a significant amount of leverage.
  16. Trump foreseen.
  17. Dutch father-of-five dubbed the Iceman because he can 'turn his own thermostat up' by using his mind sets world record for climbing Everest in just his shorts A daredevil dubbed the 'Iceman' has thawed 21 Guinness World Records and has even tried to climb Mount Everest wearing just a pair of shorts. Wim Hof, 55, has broken 21 Guinness World Records including running a full marathon above the Arctic circle wearing only a pair of shorts. The father-of-five, from Sittard, Holland, also holds the record for having the longest ice bath. As well as running on mountains, Mr Hof also holds records for running a full marathon in the Namibian desert . He stays immersed in blocks of ice for a spine-chilling one hour, 52 minutes and 42 seconds. Mr Hof said he can endure sub-zero temperatures as he has the ability to 'turn his own thermostat up' by using his mind. He said: 'I feel like I can control my own body as if I have a thermostat that I can adjust when I need to. The most challenging record was climbing Everest in just a pair of shorts. In most other people, body temperatures would drop dangerously low but Mr Hof still believes people can control their body temperature by concentrating hard. Mr Hof previously swam more than 60 metres under ice wearing only goggles and a pair of shorts but admits the training beforehand makes the challenges 'pretty easy'. He added: 'It all requires a lot of focus as they are very challenging and therefore exciting to do, so it's all worthwhile in the long-term. 'It is a lifestyle that I have chosen to take therefore I train everyday wherever I am. 'I don't bother with gyms, I just workout where I happen to be whether it's in the garden or at home. It's a great honour to have the nickname of Iceman, it makes me feel very proud of my achievements.' In 2007 Mr Hof reached 24,000ft up Everest, having to give up 5,000ft short of the summit because of a foot injury. Mr Hof also holds records for running a full marathon in the Namibian desert without drinking water and hanging on one finger at an altitude of 2,000 metres.
  18. The shooting was done for three reasons: to kill as many non-whites as possible, with as much public exposure as possible and to become a cause celebre as a saviour of the white race.
  19. The 227th battalion of the 127th troop brigade reached the borders of the state border of Ukraine and Russia today in the Kharkiv region. The moment of installation of the boundary pillar was reported to the President of Ukraine by video.
