Conservative. Metalhead. Millennial. Standard Time Absolutionist. Everyday I’m Hussaring.

On August 26th, 2021 @TorontoStar decided to run this as their front page. These quotes are credited to a “selection of recent posts on Twitter”. These posts are not cited in the story written by @nadineyousif_ which was printed in Section A2. So I sourced them.🧵

3 migrant workers brutally murdered a 77 year-old man by wrapping his entire head and face with duct tape. Then they murdered his 76 year-old wife by beating her then cutting her throat. Now their sentencing is delayed because B.C. judge Brenda Brown decided a section of the Criminal Code restricting multiple murderers from applying for early parole under the so-called “faint-hope” clause is unconstitutional. Why do they even have Charter Rights to begin with? These men are savages. They shouldn’t have even been here!

Instead of scrolling on my phone today I have instead been obsessed with getting the LED lighting installed on my Lego set. (I’m cool.) The instructions are very detailed but there are some instances where the wires would be exposed and overlap the displays and it’s incompatible with my obsessive compulsiveness So I’ve been trying to find more efficient ways to hide the cords behind furniture and architecture which has taken a bit of ingenuity but I’m making headway. For instance I’ve changed the fireplace area at least 5 times so far and I think I’m going to do it again to have to hide the power cord that plugs into the wall… Pictured here is me trying to figure out how to run a cord from spotlight at the top of the roof down to the first floor and hide some wires behind the chimney.

Make the lowest tax bracket pay 53% in income taxes like the highest income earners do in Ontario. You’ll see Ottawa on fire.

People have been financing cars for terms of up to 8 years. That’s the only way they can afford a new car. Even the used market is ridiculous. Your family, friends, coworkers, and neighbours are all up to their eyeballs in debt. Not good.
WTF With Car & Truck Loan Delinquencies! Direction Of That Graph Is Almost Straight Up When the Prime Minister promised there would be struggles & sacrifices from the Trade War he was right Lot's of struggling Except I don't think the PM's car is being repossessed....

I’ve decided to be a mini-electrician and add lighting to this Lego set which requires some dismantling and steady hands which I do not have. 😅

Just buy two houses, kids. That’s how you accumulate wealth. 🥴
LOL -- both my wife and I have 401k plans we have contributed to since the early 1990s. We have yet to touch them. We have two houses that we have made payments on for more than 20 years, thereby acquiring equity in relationship to their value. THAT's how you accumulate wealth -- over a lifetime. Funny -- my elderly mother passed recently. While she didn't leave me a fortune, I have more now that I did before. One day my five Gen Z children will have the same happen to them. Until then, they'll likely have household wealth less than their Boomer parents.

Nah. This isn’t a flex. Nothing is worse than “I listen to everything.” What you mean is you don’t like anything.

Why do we always see this flag?
Men draped in Palestinian flags loot stores across France. What has France done to itself?

If there was a mass-casualty event at a U.S. military base, or even a base in any other developed country, we would know a lot more than the tidbits of information Mark Carney’s government have told us. Just what in the fuck going on here?

Mark Carney said a fire broke out as if climate change was to blame for this tragedy. He needs to resign and go back to Europe.

This is how the Liberal voting Ottawa residents described the Freedom Convoy to the world. The fact is the Convoy protestors were so peaceful they didn’t even try to stop politicians from entering parliament to vote in favour of using the Emergencies Act against them.

Poland should be the immigration model. Not France. Not Spain. Not the UK. Even the centre left Polish government understands that protecting their borders and culture is the priority of the government.
Polska nie powtórzy błędów innych europejskich państw, nie będzie też za nie płacić. Twardo bronimy granicy przed nielegalną migracją, mamy własną politykę azylową (nie przyjmujemy wniosków), deportujemy tych, którzy łamią polskie prawo. W kwestii bezpieczeństwa będziemy bezwzględni. To usłyszeli ode mnie liderzy Europy w Brukseli.

Why is this flag everywhere?
Macron recognized “Palestine” to appease the same people burning down France. It was never about the children of Gaza.

Conservatives are only saying what Andrew Coyne’s generation expected / took for granted when they entered the job market in the 60s and 70s.
It is very sad to see the Conservatives go down this path.

When this comes to Canada, and we are heading in that direction will the liberals and all their supporters invoke the Emergencies Act or is that reserved for road hockey and bouncy castles? #cdnmedia #cdnpo

If ever there were a metaphor for why our nations are in ruin, it's a bunch of Boomers dancing on the banks of the Seine while the sons of the third world burn Paris to the ground.
