Maybe we don't pay enough attention to our nutty neighbor to the north of us...
Canadian MP Ya’ara Saks said “honk, honk” is “an acronym for ‘Heil Hitler’” during House of Commons proceedings on Thursday in Ottawa.
Saks, a member of the Liberal Party representing York Centre - an electoral district in Toronto, - made her remarks during parliamentary debate on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act.
Canadian Liberal MP Ya'ara Saks stated Monday that the onomatopoeia "honk honk" was a coded message meaning "heil Hitler."
Saks gave her testimony before Parliament on Monday, where she lamented perceived government inaction regarding the truckers.
"How many guns need to be seized?" Saks asked from her podium. "How much vitriol do we have to see of 'Honk Honk' – which is an acronym for 'heil Hitler' – do we need to see on social media?"

A 38,000 trucker convoy is heading to Washington, DC, from Los Angeles to protest pandemic
mandates just in time for President Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address on March 1.
Kyle Sefcik, organizer and leader of the Freedom Convoy USA 2022, told WUSA CBS 9 that he is scheduled to leave Los Angeles on Friday and drive to D.C. The peaceful convoy will be composed of trucks and motorcycles and does not intend to gather at the Capitol. Instead, the convoy will protest near the White House and the National Mall with Christian bands and preachers.
“We want to be there for that and tell the president we’re here,” Sefcik told the local outlet. “This doesn’t even need to happen. If the president said, ‘Mandates are over and the state of emergency is over. Let’s get back to the world and let’s do our thing,’ then we’re not even coming.”
“We have to get the attention in the most peaceful way and this is our way of doing it,” Sefcik continued. “Do we want to stop businesses from being able to be open and people being able to get to work and school? No. We don’t want to cause this at all which is why we’re telling the president ahead of time to end this now. We don’t even have to come.”
Sefcik told the outlet that convoy could disrupt major corridors of the greater Maryland and northern Virginia area and roads that serve as a major commuting passageway and route for commercial deliveries into the district.
“This could stop work until the president says it’s over. People could not be going to schools,” he said. “We’re going to go until the president of the United States says the state of emergency is over.”

coupla weeks that have done some serious damage all over the country. This is that famous apple tree that made Issac Newton think of gravity when an apple fell on his head (or so the story goes). It got knocked over and died in recent storm in Cambridge, England.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the middle of nowhere...
Vladimir Putin, speaking on Russia's Defender of the Fatherland Day, told military leaders he was assured they would stand up for the country's national interests - which he said are 'non-negotiable' - as he refused to back down on demands over Ukraine and NATO. He also boasted of Russia 's 'advanced weapons' including hypersonic missiles in the sabre-rattling speech as Western allies warned Russia is making final preparations for a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It came just hours after President Biden warned that an invasion of Ukraine is already underway but could quickly ramp up into all-out war, and imposed sanctions on banks and figures in Putin's inner circle.
Is 'hyper-sonic' not the same exact thing as 'super-sonic'?
Maybe they use it 'cause it sounds cooler somehow...

Millions of vehicles in the U.S., including Teslas, Audis, Hondas and Nissans,
will lose some emergency and convenience features by Tuesday, as AT&T becomes the first telecommunications company to disable its 3G network this year.
The shutdowns – known as network sunsets – affect older cellphones but also other products such as home security systems and vehicles that use 3G networks for updates and remote communication.
The impact for vehicle owners will vary based on their car or truck, millions of which were made during the past decade or so with 3G connectivity. Some owners may not experience any problems, while others could lose automatic emergency response services in the event of a crash and certain infotainment and convenience features such as real-time navigation and smartphone app features such as pre-cabin conditioning.

A Sherman Firefly of the 22nd Armoured Brigade, 7th Armoured Division comes
ashore from HMS LST-406 (Landing Ship Tank), Gold area, Normandy on D-Day, June 7th 1944.
22nd Armoured Brigade started landing on the evening of 6th June (D-Day itself) the entire brigade was not ashore until the evening of 7th June. They started to assemble behind their old friends from the Desert, the 50th Division. The Queen's Brigade did not complete their arrival until 12th June, due to the great storm causing problems with landing on the beaches or via the Mulberry harbours.
By then 5th RTR had already assisted 56th Brigade in the close bocage countryside. One tank commander actually had to fight off German infantry who had jumped onto the top of his tank from the high banks. This was something that had never happened in the desert!
The area of Normandy the Division was to start fighting in as the Calvados region, south of the Bay of the Seine. It could be divided into to parts. The open campagne area south and south east of Caen, with rolling fairly open country side and the close bocage area to the south and south west of Bayeux. In 1944 this bocage was a maze of small, high-banked fields, thick copses and woods, narrow lanes and steep sided valleys. Visibility was usually no more than 50 yards. This was not ideal tank country as the Germans could easily lay in wait and ambush the armour with their Panzerfaust infantry anti-tank weapons.
On 10th June 22nd Armoured Brigade, 5th RHA, along with 8th Hussars and some Queen's infantry were ordered to advance on Tilly-Sur-Seulles, with 4th CLY in the lead. The enemy was first encountered at a small hamlet called Jerusalem, where a Panzer IV was knocked out by 4th CLY, before advancing onto Buceels, but the infantry sustained a number of casualties and the advance stopped there for a while.

met a cat that actually ever gave a fuck what you might think about anything - ever.
I use this metaphor when describing the quality of helpers you can find to hire here in Florida. They're all cats. The reason is simple.
If you point at something, your dog will look at what you're pointing at. A cat won't even look at your fuckin' hand. That is what the hired hands are like here in the Sunshine State. Juss' sayin'...

Wheat Ridge, Colorado, to an athletic family of Croatian origin. Paige Spiranac has made a name for herself as one of the game's biggest stars and now has over two million followers on her Instagram account. Many people are left wondering, what's her ultimate goal? According to her, she just wants to be 'taken seriously as a professional golfer and sports ambassador'.

DeleteThe only thing that I ever really thought was attractive about Joan Collins is that she was always rumored to be an absolute wildcat in the sack. Outside of that I view her as a simple slut, which I guess can also be an attractive quality!
