Quote from: caskur on June 29, 2025, 03:20:34 AMIt's the middle of winter here, minimum is 12 and maximum will be 20. That's a heat wave in Canada....lol
You'd be surprised; Ottawa in the summertime it isn't uncommon to see temperatures in the mid thirties. Coupled with the humidity (there's a lot of surface water in the Ottawa Valley) and it's comparable to 42 in Melbourne in terms of comfort. You get an hour or more daylight in the summer there, that goes a long way to heating things up.

The winters are something else, especially on sunny days. With no cloud cover to trap the heat, it can regularly drop to 20-30 degrees below freezing, with wind chill making it feel more like minus 40. I've managed jeans and a tee shirt at minus five with no wind chill for ten minutes without trouble, I've also made the mistake of looking out the window, seeing blue skies and forgetting my parka on the way out the door. It... well, it takes your breath away, that much I can promise you. Rugging up is really the only defence you have and even then, a stiff wind and that chill goes straight to the marrow. And it can fucken hurt like a motherfucker.

And that's in a relatively temperate part of Canada. I shudder to think how bad it must get out in the prairies or the maritimes, never mind heading up to the Artic circle. Appreciate that and you also appreciate the kind of ratbag animal that turds like Carney and Trudeau are for insisting on green energy solutions where fossil fuel makes far more sense.

Quote from: caskur on June 29, 2025, 03:20:34 AMAt the top of Australia we have 2 seasons, one is the dry and the other is the wet season...
Canada has two seasons too... "winter" and "construction". Because you can't do a lot of building when the ground is frozen solid. Swing a mattock at the ground in winter and it's akin to trying to pickaxe your way through concrete. And speaking of concrete, that stuff gets brittle and rots if left unprotected (as does terracotta) so if you've any planters it's generally a good idea to store them in a barn or a garage.

You would like the sunsets I think. Less orange than you are used to, more of a pinkish/blue colour cast. And the autumn.... mile after mile of red and golden leafed maple trees. No photo does it justice, though I know that wouldn't stop you from trying.

But a word of advice; if by any chance you get to travel there before the liberals well and truly fuck it up, try to avoid the city snow melts at the beginning of spring. Black snow turning to brown slush, revealing the months of accumulated trash and dogshit. It's not the greatest of experiences, lol.

Quote from: Thiel on June 29, 2025, 01:40:01 PMI read that the political mainstream in Canada is oh so excited about Mr Mamdani. That is disturbing.

They won't be so excited when he loses the general election.  Adams is going to get a good amount of support from the fence sitters.

The Guest Nest / Gavin Newsom has deep ties to ...
Last post by DKG - June 30, 2025, 10:17:11 AM

Between his draconian COVID-19 lockdown measures and his progressive policies on transgenderism, abortion, and immigration, California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) is as deplorable as they come.

To get the scoop on Newsom's entanglement in Chinese organized crime, Glenn Beck sat down with author and journalist Peter Schweizer, who revealed the California governor's hidden financial ties to Chinese criminal networks.

"Gavin Newsom, governor of California, will not call out China on fentanyl," says Schweizer, pointing to Newsom's October 2023 visit to China, during which he refused to call out the communist nation for its role in America's fentanyl crisis — specifically, its supply of precursor chemicals fueling California's opioid epidemic.

Newsom was criticized for missing an opportunity to address a pressing public health crisis, but Schweizer says his refusal to "finger-point" stems from his deep ties to China, which he's reluctant to jeopardize.

"His history is a long association with Chinese organized crime figures," he says. "When he was mayor of San Francisco, he appointed as the head of Chinatown economic development a guy who was a dragon head — that is a mafia leader in Chinese organized crime."

Newsom also "gave taxpayer money from San Francisco to [another dragon head's] nonprofit," and "he had on his transition team yet another guy who was involved with Chinese organized crime who went to jail on a murder-for-hire plot," says Schweizer.

Further, during Newsom's San Francisco mayoral tenure, "he also set up something called ChinaSF to bring China investment dollars to San Francisco." To establish ChinaSF, he partnered with "Vincent Lo" — a man "already publicly known to be associated with Chinese organized crime." As a result of their partnership, "some of the early businesses that came and invested in San Francisco through this scheme were tied to Chinese organized crime," Schweizer explains.

"This is different than the corruption I have seen in the past," says Glenn. "This corruption leads to the destruction and the death — literal death — of Americans."

JD Vance said the Dems' effort by Democrats to import and then normalize new voter blocs rather than engage and help homegrown Americans is the greatest threat to democracy.

He is right, but the weaponization of the FBI and DOJ along with collusion with big tech is equally odious.
