Pic of a MAGA hat with soldiers going in the front and coming out in caskets draped with the American flag. The back of the cap says Make Israel Great Again.

Wow. Powerful political cartoon by:

Sand fleas or no-see-ums (aka sand flies) probably. Nasty.

We had an ERV installed a couple of months ago. We've dropped to usually 70-100 Bq/mΒ³. Cost was $4K.

Radon gas in Canada is back in the news. Unfortunately, mitigation is expensive.

For Carney, his old employer Brookfield is heavily invested in AI, LNG, and even that uranium deal with India.
Just a coincidence, right?

"Clearly, Carney now cares less about domestic fallout than trying to stay on Donald Trump’s good side to protect CUSMA."

People are noticing. An election call now may surprise him & he could be lucky to win a minority.

If the PCs cannot or will not provide details, is the number real or fabricated? Conservatives tend to dislike education, & these cons have been very secretive about almost everything.

Or he's simply contemptuous of us. And everyone, for that matter. He obviously doesn't like talking to reporters, and is curt and snarky with them.

The 6 of them are in trouble when the boss gets home.

Yep, pushing AI & giving the ministerial job to a crook & neophyte, pushing O&G, etc. A very, very long list.

I still bet he'll buy all the F-35s.
And now he's refusing to talk to the our press in India.

A week ago I sent her an email about the Libs killing Weatheradio, used in remote areas. I still haven't heard back but I don't expect much from her.
She was our Lib MPP before going federal & she was also useless then.

I meant to say she & her ex stayed with friends of his parents.
They were very hospitable people, but that probably didn't matter much to the theocrats who took over.
She saw many women wearing western fashions, but she was told not to wear shorts to the markets for fear of acid being tossed at her.

My wife had some kind of rice dish there and has raved about it for years. She couldn't identify all the spices, but they were incredibly tasty.
She stayed with her inlaws in Tehran, who were involved with O&G. She figures they were probably killed in 1979.

My wife visited Iran in 1978, a year before the Shah was deposed.
She thought the people were so kind. She's very upset right now & is avoiding the news.

One USian told me she was upset that I used it & wondered if it was some kind of a slur. Nope, just shortform for someone from the USA. Maybe they should be more upset over the decrepit pedo running their country into the ground.

I also use US of Russia (USR) a lot, which is more of a slap.
