The most advanced fighter jet in the world back then. The conservatives killed it because it was better than anything the US had.

Did all 20, but my high school actually had a smoking lounge, circa 1973.

OHIP used to cover a lot more than it does now. It makes no sense to give public dollars to for profit corporations. Nurses from a private agency in Ont. are better paid than public nurses. Tommy Douglas is rolling in his grave.

My wife was nearly blind and had to wait 2 years for cataract surgery. A private clinic offered to do it immediately for thousands of dollars. In Ont. Ford takes transfers and hands that to for profit private contractors. Extra billing does happen albeit in sneaky way. I've paid it more than once.

It's already illegal and written into the Canada health act. They choose to not enforce it.

Imagine working in retail and being forced to listen to Christmas music every day for months. A form of torture.

Provincial governments have far too much control. It's almost like we have 10 little fiefdoms instead of a unified nation. Trade barriers inside of a nation are ridiculous.

Or maybe "Kanada."
"Slava Kalifornia:" reference to Ukraine w/a west coast spin on it.

Well, at least you're in California not somewhere like Podunk Iowa. I'm up here in Canada and don't feel safe. The bastards are doing their best to destroy us economically, and when that doesn't work, they may decide to use force. That's why we're building 2 million drones here with Ukraine's help.

I'm not sure how bad this will get, but there's no bottom for the lawless cabal and their henchmen. USA today is so much like 1930s Germany including the concentration camps. They'll stop at nothing to prevent losing power next month. Stay safe down there in Mordor my friend.

Fellow artist here. Just curious. Did you use a masking fluid for the reflections in the water? I like the crisp edges. Very nice painting.

Evening Zeke, These Nazis are the worst scum on the face of the Earth. There's plenty of material for Dems to use as attack ads but I don't think they have the intestinal fortitude. Especially Schumer and Jeffries. This is not the time to be putting up with weak kneed corporate centrists.

The botched execution of Ms.Pike is a reflection of a profoundly sick society. What she did was undoubtedly horrific, but what gives the state a right to commit murder to punish a murderer? Capital punishment is barbaric and has no place in a civilized society. This isn't justice, it's murder.

1) Uninformed voters and people who don't bother voting. 2) People who love getting bribed with their own money right before an election. 3) People who are impressed with his fake anti tRump appearances on US TV. 4) Complete imbeciles who always vote conservative to shoot themselves in the foot.

Ford is so horribly corrupt! Seeing him pretend to be Capt. Canada on US TV turns my stomach. Spending federal health transfers on the privatization of our healthcare should be illegal. Lowest amt. of per capita spending on healthcare & education in Canada. Highest provincial deficit in history.

There is a book published in the 80s that alleges the H.W. Bush who ran the CIA at the time sabotaged Carter's Iran hostages rescue operation. It's called The October Surprise by Barbara Honegger who was part of the Reagan transition team.

He will likely end up in his bunker while Washington D.C. is a smouldering ruin surrounding him. He will leave eventually, but not before he bankrupts the entire nation and hands it to Putin. Anyway you look at it, his destructive rampage is just beginning.

Facing reality threatens everything that they have based their lives around. Breeding, monster trucks, consumerism and comfort. Similar to a certain president, truth means death to the carefully crafted false narrative they have constructed around themselves. It's a form of mental illness.

Our generation grew up with best music. No vocal correction, dancers, laser lights, AI or digitized slop. Just 20,000 fans breathing in the smoke from 5000 joints listening to actual musicians playing actual instruments.

It would be completely nuts to invade Canada, but we're not exactly dealing with a rational US regime in D.C.

This could be fixed by taxing corporations and billionaires. Instead they'll use the crisis to attack social programs.

Living close to Detroit, we get a lot of TV from Michigan. The ads against him paint him as some kind of Arab terrorist threatening to blow up buildings. I think he just wants medicare for all and a decent life for ordinary folks. So scary!
