Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a pure Canadian? Then you gotta get it into the press whether it wants to go or not, and then the little bugger jams the works with a peavey and it takes forever to repair the damage!

We’ve used Kenny’s books for maybe 30 years now – so long that neither of us can remember that far back any more. And you’re right, orders are quick and the service is great, but the best thing is the selection!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I’m interested, but a bit reluctant. I find DuckDuckGo quite adequate for most things, except shopping online, something that I have to rely on for certain categories of items. How is Kagi on shopping?

Fastest turn around in Canadian history! Already ordered and paid for, and it is very competitively priced, too. Thank you so much!

As an old Canadian socialist with the lumps to prove it, I agree. There is so much performance, and so little action. I spend time on reddit, trying to get keyboard warriors to understand that posting an opinion will not magically cause the fascist Administration to collapse and get a lot of “The media refuses to cover us!” bullpuckey. There are thousands of newsrooms in the USA that are not owned by billionaire tech bros or MAGA devotees (see, for example https://www.trustworthymedia.org/ › list-of-independent-media ) and most social media is still wide open to pictures and facts about your actions. If you are acting, let the independent media – most but not all of whom are progressive, check first – know and post your pictures (faces blurred if need be) and stories everywhere you can reach people.

Meantime, buy Canadian, buy local, or don’t buy at all, at least it’s something!
