Yup. The whole Irving empire is just one big cesspool that should be broken up.

Makes you wonder if the feds shouldn't just shut down the massive cage operations and force every producer to raise free range only. 🤔

That's the main reason I gave up on watching political debates years ago, because nothing ever gets directly answered. It's all fillers and boasting about past hurrahs and talking points.

If they just answered the fucking questions I'd be happy.

Irving should be banned from bidding on any Canadian contracts ever again.

And before the nationalists jump in, I don't gaf if they're the only Canadian company capable of jobs like this. If they can't do it right they can listen to Al.

That's freaking awesome!! Love Nick. He's the best.

Male condoms are far more effective than female ones are. Never mind the fact that women are almost always in charge of birth control, ie: taking the pill, using an IUD, getting shots, etc.

Men need to be stepping up to the plate on STDs.

How effective are internal condoms at preventing pregnancy?

• If you use them perfectly every single time you have sex, internal condom effectiveness is 95%. But people aren’t perfect, so in real life they’re about 79% effective — that means about 21 out of 100 people who use internal condoms as their main method of birth control will get pregnant each year.

How effective are condoms against pregnancy?

• If you use condoms perfectly every single time you have sex, they’re 98% effective at preventing pregnancy. But people aren’t perfect, so in real life condoms are about 87% effective — that means about 13 out of 100 people who use condoms as their only birth control method will get pregnant each year.

More significantly, the estimated cost of the program has risen to somewhere between $750 million and $1 billion, from an initial projection of $499 million.

My guess it's a 100x more than what the IRS has retrieved, but it's a start at least.

Hahahaha!!!!

Winnipeg's NIMBYists on full display here.

“Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.”

Yes they do Donnie. I wonder if you'll remember that when you're laid out on the debate stage from the beatdown Kamala inflicts on your orange ass.

The description of the first utube video is priceless ...

During an Australian government hearing on August 9, 2023 Twitter executive Nick Pickles explains why sharing child sexual abuse material isn't an automatic ban from the platform. Then an Australian senator explains why that's idiotic.

And then there's this ...

But X really does seem to be in a class of its own. The site has increasingly become a haven for right-wing extremists and a safe space for Musk as he descends further into the worship of guys like Donald Trump. Musk’s version of X may be losing tremendous amounts of money, but it exists as a very enjoyable online clubhouse where everyone tells him just how smart and savvy he is. And that goes a long way for any insecure billionaire with more money than sense.

Same thing happened at a Canadian prison and the guard was found not guilty yesterday.

"In my view, the fact that Mr. Ahmo said that he could not breathe on numerous occasions and that seemingly there was no medical assistance offered to him standing alone is not determinative of this case," Cellitti said.

What a load of horseshit. I usually have a lot of respect for our judicial system and judges in general, but this guy is so far off base it's not even funny.

I hope the prosecution appeals this ruling.

Maybe it was enacted post-9/11 when the rumour mill was screaming that all the hijackers had funneled through Canada to the US.

shrugs

Ok. Do you have proof Canada adopted it from the US?

The provincial maximum on rent-controlled apartments last year was 2.5 per cent, but Sharpe’s building has no limit because Ontario Premier Doug Ford removed controls on any rental units built or occupied after November, 2018.

Drug Fraud ... the asshole of Ontario.

The actual number is 45%, but the feds only projected 35%.

The new policy limits the number of student visa applications the government would accept into processing, and it’s expected that will result in a 35 per cent drop in the number of students in 2024 compared to last year. Source

Here is the history of why universities started relying so heavily on foreign student enrollment (non-paywall link - https://ghostarchive.org/archive/dh065 )
