No you are not. But just to entertain you. You have access to the internet? OK...google on how other countries deal with gun ownership. Do not do the lazy thing like you did with Charlie Kirk... Only look at what looks good for you and is all happy for you to look at. Dig deep. Deeper than what 'research' you did with Charlie Kirk to come up with such a useless answer as to why you thought Charlie Kirk was a good debater and a good semaritan. Charlie Kirk said that he is comfortable with a few gun deaths a year JUST to keep the freedom of owning guns a right for American citizens... As it happens, a Greek guy got shot in a Starbucks in Laval (a Montreal suburb city just north of the island. Montreal is an island) 3-4 days ago. Early. Almost noon. It had people inside. Innocent people. 42 year old thug. He was part of a mafia gang of some sort. Did contract work for the mafia. What mafia? Italian mafia? Who the phoque cares? He sold drugs. Extorted money. Possibly did murder for hire also. Called himself Bob the Greek. Now he is no longer Bob the Greek but Bob the dead phoquing Greek. Good phoquing riddance but I digress. Well...it starts with the community and the society. The Laval community was disgusted by this blatant disregard for human life. For public safety. The cops also. Nobody liked the fact that gun violence happened. In public. Where innocent people were. Our society does NOT want guns to go away. It is ALSO our RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS TO OWN guns. But OUR society also does NOT want gun violence to continue. We do NOT have any NRA type factions dictating to us that we should have open carry laws. We are NOT immune to school shootings. In Montreal, we have had 2. Anyway, we keep on REMEMBERING the first one where WOMEN were murdered JUST because they were in engineering school. Our school shooter was one of the first incel phoques to come around. This happened on December 6 1989. 1989. 1989. Ecole Polytechnique massacre it is called. We KEEP on REMEMBERING the victims. We keep on REMEMBERING the cause and WHAT to do to ELIMINATE this kind of behaviour. YOUR society puts Charlie Kirk on a pedestal. Did you do your research on Charlie Kirk to see what kind of misogynistic phoque he really was? What kind of bigoted rhetoric he was spewing. The hatred he lead people to have? Well...it starts from that. PHOQUE the laws... Change YOUR society. Change your attitude about gun violence as a society. Start with that. Trump putting ICE agents in your cities, having Charlie Kirks and fake phoquing priests garner AR-15s, having the NRA say that teachers need to start carrying guns to protect themselves and their students need to be changed. Reverse THAT ideology. Start with that...

A front wheel drive Oldsmobile 442? Hmmmmmm.... Yeah...it may have a more plushy ride than a regular Cutlass and it could be called a baby Toronado because of it, I guess, but I think Ill pass on wanting a Cutlass 442 with FWD. Even with a 455 powering the (front) wheels. Id happily own a Toronado though. 1966. Retomodded as I feels like I would want disk brakes at the front as a minimum. I like the fact that the wheel base is 2 inches longer than the normal Cutlass coupe though. You could see the added 2 inches makes for an even better looking A body. That colour is AMAZING!!! I saw this episode yesterday. I try not to miss any Jay Leno's garages...

I do not think that Americans are insane because FAKE Christians brandish AR-15s in sermon... I think Americans are insane: 1. Because a faction of dumb phoquing Americans have faith and follow FAKE pastors in FAKE churches practicing a FAKE religion under the guise of Christianity. And then all the rest of the idiot Americans have the phoquing balls to include ALL the religions as being bad JUST because shytty factions of snake oil salesmen have taken control over their phoquing dumb ass country. Spare me the talk about magic men in the sky with the LEGIT religions. Just because FAKE phoquing prophets...ie humans, took aspects of religion to feed their greed and hatred and to bamboozle phoqueheads, that has NOTHING to do with the religions itself. Mega church, TV evangelists, mormons, evangelical phoquetards and everything else the United States of America calls a religion that is said to be Christian but BLATANTLY DEFIES ANYTHING REMOTELY that defines Christianity is the problem that plagues the well being of the US. Including the phoquing Pilgrims that came over the phoquing Mayflower that called themselves the Calvinist Protestants... And do NOT get me started with the original bullshyte Anglican and Protestant churches of merry 'ole England to which one of the two was invented or altered because fat phoquing King Henry VIII wanted to divorce his wife but couldnt. He ended up decapitating 2 of his other wives... This phoquing problem with religion in the US starts right there...in merry 'ole shytty England. The rest of the religions of the world are pretty OK Id say. So I find it insane that Americans are phoquing clueless about who is phoquing them royally. (pun intended) 2. I find it insane that Americans are hit with gun violence at EVERY junction in everyday life and then see phoquing insane people brandishing guns "peacefully", like this phoquing idiot, and then be surprised that gun violence hits them at EVERY phoquing junction of everyday life. 3. And then do NOTHING to stop gun violence. Not even as much as to quell it a little bit. But use excuses to quell gun violence by adding...more guns to the equation... 4. I find it insane that Americans actually believe that America is the ONLY nation that has gun culture and are free to own guns. I also find it insane how Americans are so phoquing IRRESPONSIBLE with gun ownership and how they parrot nonsensical phrases from all those snake oil salesmen that continue to help them kill themselves... And are proud of it. THAT last part is truly the insane part. The pride of continuing to kill oneself...from within. From their fellow American neighbour...

We did The Bay and Sears too. Sears...Kenmore appliances back in the day were the best. I miss Sears also.

I should have said 'successor' instead of 'predecessor' Probably my favorite Mercedes sedan. I also love the W123. So tied for my favorite Mercedes sedans. Id restomod either of them. But Id be cheeky with it. Id Hellcat them. Just a minor grudge I still hold for the merger of equals. Id also nix all the 3 pointed star and AMG badging. Id replace all 3 pointed stars with the Dodge Fratzog and AMG with the Cat from Hell badging. Id leave the 6.3 liter badging though. A Hellcat engine is 6.2 liters. And so is that AMG engine. Its just that the 6.3 has a historical significance. At that point...who cares?

I have always liked this Mercedes. Its predecessor too. @smk4565's ride. Hey @smk4565. Still got your Mercedes? I love your car!!! I also liked the 190E back in the day.

I never liked that 280ZX. I still dont like it to this day. Although I do likje the interior. Especially the digital dash version. I was just listening to music and watching the videos...youtube and all...when I had the itch to listen to Borderline. Then I saw the 280 long forgotten it was in the video and I said to myself "hmmmmm...maybe I post picture of 280. Sounds good." Bradlees? Never heard of them. I just googled and saw what they were. We had Miracle Mart, Woolco and Zellers. My mommy had bought me many Hot Wheels cars from Miracle Mart. All our, or most, electronic purchases were made from a department store called Eatons. I miss Eatons. They had a wide selection of entry level electronics to the premium ones. They had a substantial toy department too. Plastic model kits to fancy electric train sets. Video game consoles and their games too. Appliances and furniture. With those too, Eatons carried entry level stuff to high end stuff. At least with the Downtown location. We lived 10 minutes away from downtown so my parents shopped at that location all the time. It was great because as a kid, I got to see how poor we were, but also what the rich people buy as compared to what my family bought. How poor we were...I never felt ashamed. Just made me motivated to succeed in life. And I also learned that entry level stuff (at least back then) was built to last just as much as the high end stuff. But some quality elements suffered, be it a lack of chrome on a button or maybe a speaker was a little bit weaker than the higher end stuff. No biggie in the grand scheme of things. Wow...thanks Drew for making me reminisce about my childhood. LOL.

And??? (not directed at you @A Horse With No Name) Some of you god damned pathetic American losers will suffer economic losses? Cry about it to someone who gives a phoque... Maybe this guy... But apparently, Canadian sales of US liquor is but a drop in a bucket in the whole US liquor sales scheme of things....is what was said by these US liquor entities. The leader of the free fascist world that is the USA said that Canada has nothing that the US needs. That the US subsidizes Canada... Phoque the US!!!

EVs in North America better get an even MORE price cut because the Chinese EV makers are on stand-by and ready to flood this market. All it takes is Canada to eliminate the 100% tariffs on them and Chinese EVs will enter with ease spelling the end for GM and Ford and quite possibly Tesla. Stellantis could maybe survive via Europe but only in Europe. KIA could survive as KIA's mother market is not a dumb one like in Trump's America. Its funny to me when anti-EV morons say NOBODY wants an EV. Yet...the US and Canada have 100% tariffs on them. If NOBODY wants EVs, then why the 100% tariff on them? NOBODY would be buying them anyway regardless if tariffed or not. Nobody wants EVs, right???!!! But ah.....people DO want EVs. ESPECIALLY if they are of the low-priced variety. And it seems like the ones that China will offer us WOULD be of the low-priced yet very competent variety. The situation of new car prices in the US, even for ICEV, has reached the point of ridiculousness. And with many jobs being lost daily, the question is, who the hell could afford ANY new car in the US REGARDLESS if ICEV or EV? But here in Canada, we are doing well enough. We are de-coupling from the US in certain areas. In other markets, Canada is side stepping and pivoting away from the US but keeping the US as a partner...for now. In the automotive area, we are quite dependant still and quite in bed with the US. But, push come to shove, and we may have to drastically de-couple and fast. And it aint a joke either. Our politically Provincial leaders, most of them, are SERIOUSLY DEMANDING our Prime Minister to SERIOUSLY take into consideration in eliminating these tariffs we have levied on Chinese EVs to let them in our market. And Carney, our PM, is REALLY looking into this matter. Yet again, sometime this week, tomorrow or whatever, he will meet with Trump to discuss the bulsshyte talk of the 51st State rhetoric and the tariff situation between the US and Canada. If this talk will go nowhere, like it probably will lead to nothing... Chineses EVs are THAT much closer in being sold in Canada. Trump likes to lie and suggest Canada is folding, but its the opposite, anytime talks between Carney and Trump fail, another nail in the coffin for the US as Carney then just goes to Europe and makes another trade deal for Canada and the Eurozone. China will probably be solved before 2026 appears...

True North Strong and Free!!! Phoque Trump!!! Phoque the US!!!

I hate A.I. fakery. But Im also super impressed with it. The man has passed away 50 years ago yet here he is doing quite the (fake) awesome job of being possibly the only (fake) actor in replacing Harrison Ford in an OG Star Wars trilogy. This is pure demonry in so many ways. Its scary.

Happy Anniversary!!!

This has not made the headlines. Is it because the murderer was yet another white male, young, and a right loyalist? Another white male phoque-a-zoid that identifies with the so called right conservatism that...kills with a gun... The mormon church murderer was also another white male phoque-a-zoid right conservative phoque... Charlie Kirk was full of love the right phoques tell us. And some believe that narrative...even a certain poster that posts here... I say phoque that poster!!! Phoque all white male phoques that identify with the right. Phoque their females too!!! Phoque the US!!!

Problem is, the people that listen to dis-informative news are too stupid to know what damage Trump has done. I bet anybody that listens to that video has no idea who those guys laughing at Trump are. I only recognize Macron. But I easily understand the dynamics. The ignorant phoques that have no idea what that video is about also think that its a 'fake' news video. Everything those people believe in is false. The irony being those people think that their point of view is the only true and righteous point of view. Its disgusting how these fools have been fooled...

He has alienated the US.

I do not think that this current administration will respect such a thing to happen. To let a blue wave in the house exist. I hope I am wrong. I sadly agree to this... That is why I compassionately keep on posting political shyte. Not just for our little community in here that posts stuff, but for the silent lurkers that read. Another venue to read that is not misinformation. Another venue to get the courage to fight for your country.

The F35 is falsely called a 5th gen fighter. It is suppose to be a 5th gen fighter. And it will be soon enough. But there are many 5th gen features missing from it. Not the stealth stuff but some radar technology on it that was mentioned in the video is missing. Even for the US Air Force. Lots of engineering delays and mishaps... Making the F35 slightly better than 4.5 but not quite 5th gen. The Rafale is a 4.5 gen fighter from France. Is capabilities mirror those of an F-16. The Viper version. But better. The Rafale is a newer fighter and has quite the radar capabilities but not stealth tech. Making it a 4.5 gen. The USAF has phased out the F16 for its fleet, but there are many nations that continue buying it and flying it. But those same nations also have bought the Rafale and use the F16 Viper and Rafale tandemly. Truth be told, the F16 Viper version in certain combat situations is better than the F35. Its in the communications and fighting alongside in tandem with other military weapons where the F35 shines and the other 4.5 gen fighters lack. The Eurofighter is a 4.5 gen fighter. Very capable. In some cases batter than the Rafale and F16 Viper and in some cases on par. The SAAB J39 is a 4rth gen fighter. But the way the video explains how the F35 will be using drones to do combat, this is a fairly new way of doing air warfare and the Ukraine war accelerated the tactics. But the Swedes that engineered the SAAB J39 have had that type of warfare in mind and the J39 is equipped radar and communications wise to do battle this very way already. Yeah...like the F35 is supposed to do. To do battle in tandem with other military weapons on the ground, in the air or at sea. In tandem. So the J39 has that capability... Seeing that all nations in Europe have been threatened by Trump in one way or other, all 3 fighters could be used jointly to do a better job than what an F35 could be used for. And when the other nations, including Canada, will refuse to buy the F35, lots of billions of dollars lost. Not counting the billions of dollars of developmental monies already poured into the f35 program. But those monies have been deduced from the books already I suppose. I could get slapped with another face palm emogi or a negative one, the shytes about to get real for you guys... Wake the phoque up!!!

EVs are coming. By the way of China. In Europe, some countries have eliminated some monies to subsidies EVs, but that does not mean that European car makers are lagging behind in EV sales. Stellantis, Mercedes and BMW are lagging behind in Europe. Renault, VAG and Chinese OEMs however are not. Chinese OEMs have the financial power and political punch to flood ALL car markets with cheap EVs. The more Trump phoques around with global tariffs of any kind ESPECIALLY ones that affect automobile production, that gives EXTRA financial and political power to those Chinese EVs to flood the markets. Chinese OEMs are on a dangerous area as they are producing more than they are selling and losing monies BUT...since Trump's genius tariff moves around the world and especially what happens here in North America, these tariffs are hampering GM, Ford and Stellantis. Chinese EVs are already selling in Mexico. Canada is on the verge of allowing Chinese EVs to enter the Canadian market. Trump is facilitating a decision like that to happen when he does not stop with the 51st state rhetoric. He is dangerously close in declaring war on Canada... Only a phoquing fool does not see that... Chinese EVs are flourishing in Europe. When Americans are losing their jobs left right and center from lack of jobs in the US due to MANY factors in ALL KINDS of sectors ALL over the US with tariffs that YOU guys pay, when ALL the countries of the world are making ALL kinds of trade negotiations amongst themselves BYPASSING the US and LEAVING US products on the outside... What do you think that will do to Hemi powered Chargers when Americans wont have any monies to buy ESSENTIALS let alone 60 000 dollar V8 powered Chargers and 80 000 dollar pick-up trucks? GM, Ford and Chrysler will NOT be around... But cheap Chinese EVs WILL be around for Canadians and Mexicans and Europeans to buy. VW will be available for Canadians to buy... GM? Yeah... It aint a joke, man. This is not "the sky is falling" scare tactics... It is very real... Wake the phoque up...

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a68150907/dodge-charger-daytona-banshee-ev-cancelled-report/ This fascist regime that is the Trump admin is making all kinds of economical suicides for the US. Politically for him and the Duce/Fuhrer that will replace Trump will change nothing for the regime, but for the citizens of the US... I do not know how the US survives economically with or without being a fascist state though. I guess tokens for bread a la the USSR circa the 1920s will be a new reality... Did he foreshadow what will happen in the USA? Phoque Trump!!! Phoque the US!!!
