  • Where to begin? Carney. Carney Carney carney. Is partial truth. Whole truth is Canada has has a hard hate-on for Iran since the CIA blowback that led to revolution. For no real reason than Anglo-American oil interests wanted a good hate for Iran for fucking up their plans. Was never really our business, nor in our interests. All governments since, both conservative and liberal have continued this hostile stance toward them. Why single out Carney? He is in a long list here, and our position under Carney didn’t change one bit.

    Canada can and has made arguments about Iran’s opressive government, hostile treatment of its peoples, human rights violations and that too is a partial truth. We’re happy to look the other way elsewhere. Why is Saudi Arabia and ally and gets a pass when Iran gets a hate? If we really cared about human rights and democracy, SA and many others wouldn’t get such an easy diplomatic pass. SA lets in Anglo American oil companies and buys arms. Iran doesn’t. We don’t say this because the Canadian public prefers the half truths and the plausable sounding lies.

    “Cheering”: He did speak of Canada support for US/ Israeli actions against the regime, not the war on its people, or the economic disruptions caused by US/Israeli shitting the bed. Another half truth. He calibrated that his support is " not a blank cheque" and does not support the war and won’t participate directly. That’s not cheering.


  • Cube 2 potato. Toss in olive oil. Toss in 2 tablespoons minced garlic/garlic powder and like 2 tablespoons minced onion/onion powder, paprika, salt, oregano and minced rosemary. Toss again in bowl to evenly coat everything.

    Spread on sheet. Roast at 325 for 22 mins or so until brown and crispy. Shread your favoutite cheeses on top and let them melt by heat from being fresh out of the oven.

    I recommend mozza, sharp cheddar and parmagiano combo. Also consider parmagiano and pecorino combo.







  • You are smart. I believe you can figure it out for yourself.

    I am lazy and don’t want to rehash a bunch of sourced technical data with reasoned analysis and further explanations just to be dismissed with more bullshit.

    I will give you one for free from memory. The decline in the Canadian Dollar from 1:1 to today. That start date was clearly cherry picked because a wider lens will show the historical norm for the Canadian to USD is around 70-something cents. Frequently moving in a band from mid 60s to low 80s. Feel free to look up 1950 to 2025.

    If you want the data to fit your narrative of decline, that’s what you do. It pretends to be data driven analysis, but it drips of bullshit propaganda.

    A favourite prank - True Story:

    Guy from Québec goes to southern US for work. Thick accent and very catholic. Befriends locals, but finds the trope about ignorance to be … deserved.

    At bar after work, locals try to explain Christianity to him. He plays dumb and trolls EXPERTLY.

    Merican - So Jesus died for our sins and came back to life.

    Qué: Like le zombie?

    Merican: Well, no. Not like that. But he showed his friends the holes in his hands to prove it was him and he really died.

    Qué: Oui! Like le zombie. Wounds on hands from 'ow he died and fleshrotting off face…

    Merican: No no nothing like that.

    Qué: But he died? (Yup) For real? (Yup) But got back up? (yes) With wounds. (Yes). So 'ow eez dis not like le zombie?

    Merican: I’m just not explaining it well. (Story goes on) Gets to transubstantiation. Take this bread and eat of my flesh. Take this cup and drink of my blood … and you shall have everlasting life.

    Qué: Mais oui! You See. Like le zombie! He eat your flesh. I see many movie like dis.

    Merican: No! Sorry, I’m not explaining it well. Jesus doesn’t eat your flesh. He wants you to eat his, symbollically.

    Qué: Ohhh! I see now. Everlasting life? (Yes) So zombie Jesus feed you his zombie flesh and blood, so you turn into zombie like him and be undead forever. Are all Americain in dis zombie cult?

    Merican: 😬🥵 well, when you put it like that I guess it does sound pretty weird.
