I’ve got an honours degree in political science and a degree from the London School of Economics but I’m unclear on the definition of communism.

Would love to hear Jeffrey Rath explain why his actions are not treasonous.

The similarities are striking

Canadians rejoice as Cons select unelectable leader who lost his own riding.

Here's the third one I found online. The metal is a darker colour grey.

I did find these three posted online that look similar. One was posted in 2009 is the same except it has no hole in it.

The second looks the same except the metal is a silver colour.

Any help solving this mystery would be appreciated.

Also most MB tokens were for smaller denominations including one Made-Beaver, one-half, one-quarter, and one-eighth.

I did find a 20 M B token, but it's from the H.B.C. St. Lawrence Labrador District in 1923.

Hudson's Bay Company made beaver tokens.

The date says 1784 but I have my doubts that it is that old. I also don't know what it's made out of (maybe brass)?

I did some internet searching, but it sounds like most HBC tokens weren't minted until the early 1800s and many of them were stamped with N B not M B.

My partner gave me this gift many Xmases ago and I found it the other day when I was rummaging through my treasures drawer.

My understanding is that it is a 10 MB (Made Beaver) token from the Hudson’s Bay Company, but I’m not sure if it’s authentic?

Trump got Nike to pay him for the product placement.

Strong stuff from Anita Anand and the Canadian government. 🙄Embarrassing.

So is the Canadian government's response.

Gutsy response by UK PM Keir Starmer to the illegal US military action in Venezuela. “The UK was not involved in any way in this operation.” 🙄

People who care about climate change are nostalgic for the past or deeply concerned about the future?

That’s not the point dude

“And I would like to be able to love my country all while loving justice. I don’t want just any greatness for my country if such is to come from blood and falsehood. It’s through upholding justice that I want my country to flourish.” You said to me, “Well, you don’t love your country.”

Our beloved cat Rosa died in May at the age of 22. We dearly miss her and don’t want to get another cat. Luckily we have a neighbourhood cat named Simon who loves to come over and hang out for a few hours a day, including snuggle time.
