Yes. I wish Kingston had fewer cults. There’s like a good three and maybe up to five if you really look. That’s a lot for a city of like 130K people.

This. This is why Torontites aren't happy in Alberta, not the lack of Cactus Clubs. Maybe Kingston could spare a cult, since they got so many

To put it in Don Cherry terms, Canada did not have to grab a chair and crack it over the head of the guy her American pal was pummelling in the bar, she had only to refrain from actively cheering the other fellow on — oh, and maybe buy the Yank a drink when the mess was over.

Disgusting sewer smell drives Senate to abandon debates


A pungent and revolting smell, which the Conservative leader in the Senate declared reminded him of his time as a plumber, drove senators to abandon debates for the day on Tuesday.

Senators were finding the odour so distracting, with some getting headaches, they had to abandon their debate of government bills and vacate the chamber after only an hour and a half. Several senate committees, including the agriculture committee, also cancelled scheduled evening meetings as the stench permeated the building.

Alison Korn, spokeswoman for the standing committee on internal economy, budgets and administration, said Public Works and Procurement Canada explained that the “sulphur smell was caused by the opening of the nearby Rideau Locks, which caused stagnant water to circulate.”

HAN DONG CALLED THE HOCKEY SONG "MID" IN TALKS WITH CHINESE CONSULATE.

That story makes no sense:

Global News posted:

Both sources said Dong allegedly suggested to Han Tao, China’s consul general in Toronto, that if Beijing released the “Two Michaels,” whom China accused of espionage, the Opposition Conservatives would benefit.

Why would the Conservatives gain from the Michaels being released? They were badgering Trudeau every day on being soft on China and leveraging this.

Global News posted:

Throughout 2021, then-Conservative leader Erin O’Toole unsuccessfully pressed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to take a hawkish stance with Beijing and suggested Ottawa use the threat of sanctions to secure Kovrig and Spavor’s freedom.

They were literally in prison because we took a hawkish stance and imprisoned Meng Wenzhou. What economic pressure can Canada put on that would not result in even more retaliation?

These CSIS leakers are literally going to get someone killed. It's absolutely insane that the media is taking disgruntled CSIS staffers at their word and anonymously. The organization is notoriously reactionary.

This comes a day after Han Dong told the media that he gets death threats now and CSIS hasn't followed up with him at all about these allegations. hosed up that our spies are putting politicians in their place like this with no actual evidence, let alone charges.
