The Guardian, The Tyee, BBC, CBC, Reuters and AP, with a dash of utterly unreliable press from abroad.

Ay! Oy!

Tell you what: if you really think it matters, then by all means, make it your mission. But our problem isn't Canadians not knowing the truth, is it -- hell, astonishing as it may be, the Canadian media have done a pretty good job of refuting the egregious BS coming up on the southern wind. Our problem is that we are outnumbered and outgunned by lunatics willing to blow up the world just so they can rule the ruins, and I am no longer willing to waste my breathe on being reasonable.

While I would agree with you and Voroxpete under the old rules of US politics, they no longer apply. Seems to me the average Representative either lies through his/her teeth (assuming they have any), or votes performatively, and then does something completely different, or nothing at all. I have come to really, really dislike this kind of performative vote, seeing my fellow Canadians mislead into believing it actually means that there are folks in the House, outside of two or three, who would actually do diddly-squat to prevent their country from overrunning its neighbours to achieve hegemony. Please don't tell me how your system works, because it stopped working somewhere around Mission Accomplished.

And, while you're looking for it, could you also tell me Who put the bomp In the bomp bah bomp bah bomp? Who put the ram In the rama lama ding dong?

Last I looked, any vote in Congress was foreordained unless a few Republicans were suddenly to come down with the measles, and even then, they'd probably drag themselves through DC, infecting everyone they passed, to prove their loyalty to their God Emperor.

I think we have bigger things to worry about.

We could prove decisively in front of the world that there is much, much more fentanyl coming in to Canada from the US than the other way around (we have), we could broadcast films of guns confiscated with both Canadian and US border guards testifying to the reality (we've done that, too), we could counter every single lie with proof of the truth and it would not matter one bit, because those who are going to believe us already do, and those who say they don't really mean that whatever the Emperor says he's wearing, he is wearing, whether I can see it or not.

Mr. Trump and his rich sponsors want our resources, our water, our surrender and our country for their own. They will keep at this until either they are overthrown or we beat them in a genuine war, or climate change makes the whole point moot by killing so many of us off that the survivors are left to eat each other.

Read up on Joseph Goebbels' principles of propaganda. You will recognise them all.

2. Is ass backwards: journalists covering the city have to be where the councillors are, or they have nothing to write about. Our councillors are kind of pathetic, really....

Don't think it's a climb down -- I think he just gets a kick out of keeping everyone else running around in circles and trying to second guess him. Makes him feel powerful and in command. Guy's a Guinness Book All-Time Record Jerk.

He gets a real kick out of stirring folks up, then letting them breathe before he stirs then up again. Only one word for that kind of guy, starts with an A, ends with an e. Too bad this one has the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world -- I swear that's the only reason he hasn't had the bejabbers beaten out of him several times over the past month.

It seems to take more keywords to home in on the kind of speciality items I look for, and does not always appear to detect connections between those keywords, for example in trying to find certain kind of veterinary support devices made to national specifications. One of the other commentors says Kagi is okay for shopping, so maybe I'll give it a whirl because I'd love to be free of Google once and for all.

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?
