Back in the day, my parents would take us for picnics on the side of the 401. Didn't have much money back then.
Seems crazy now.

But I remember Irv Weinstein & Eyewitness News. Buffalo was such a shithole.

Had to look him up. Don't remember him at all.

My wife bought her house twice just to keep her kid in his home & neighbourhood. The ex emptied the baby bonus account but the kid, now in his 40s, likes his dad better & now doesn't believe in COVID protections. It hurts her.

They were split 50/50 between the Leafs & the Sabres. No joy.

Even if they're not coming from us. Tracks.

We lived in Welland at the time. My Dad took us to a few Sabres games & it seemed that most of the fans were from the Niagara Peninsula.

If you still have a kid around, it's not enough.

When I was a kid, all I wanted was a job where I made $15K.

I hear the Sens are doing okay at the moment, but won't last long. The Cup will go to the Youalls again, as per the rule.

I used to do the taxes for my parents and my aunt in Haliburton, but they're all gone now.
I don't mind paying taxes because they help all of us, for the most part, but the rich get away with bloody murder by hiding their wealth (I'm looking at Brookfield clients).

I really hate it when I could write the script for B movie.

Or maybe "Drumpf dreamt."

I was there in 1977 and we were led across the bottom of the caldera. It was so quiet back then.

Israel is the tail wagging the dog. Drumpf is Bibi's stooge.
I prefer 'Operation Epic Failure.'

The reason that the carp are threatening the Great Lakes lies 100% with USian incompetence & lack of care. They created this problem.

Usually, donations & medical expenses are normally placed with the person with the lowest income, but I've seen times when this wasn't true. Not often, but sometimes.

Without income splitting, the best scenario is when all medical expenses & donations go to me, but my wife has to pay, so I would compensate her for the pain.

Being a former financial officer, she will double-check all the figures. Of course.

I run scenarios moving around donations & medical expenses, to see which combo benefits us the most.
With income splitting, applying donations & medical expenses to me gives the same net return as medical expenses to me & all donations to my wife.
Without a program, I would never bother with this.

It's playing 'around with our income taxes time.' Merde.
Most of my income is from a non-indexed RRIF & my wife's is from her indexed pension.
At first when we retired, income splitting didn't help. This year, it helps a lot, as her income drifts upwards from mine over time.

Or Rump?
His family's name when the immigrated to the US of Russia was 'Drumpf.' It sounds appropriate.

Outlawing all political parties except for the PCs, establishing a link for the underground 401 to Ontario Place, renaming ON Place to Rob Ford Place, paving over the TO Islands for a jet airport, adding a ferris wheel & casino to Rob Ford Place?
So much to do when snowmobiling weather is over.

I think that translates to Kegsbreth will spew the longest-winded, bullshittiest, most vile spiel of propaganda ever heard on this planet. Drumpf will then threaten something, forget, insult Canada, & then threaten someone else.

The USians have increased their checking of electronics when the few of us venture across the border (and you can stop that now, dammit!).
Time for us to check every USian vehicle entering Canada for guns, drugs, and Asian carp, & if they can't pass 1 of Drumpf's dementia tests then send them back.

A photo of a pigeon. The caption is "Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon... no matter how good you are, the bird is going to shit on the board and strut around like it won anyway."

Drumpf has a right to share his delusions, hallucinations, and nightmares with the Murrican people. Lucky people.
ROFLMAO.

Those carp were brought to pens in the US of Russia during the 1970s. During flooding, they escaped their pens & are now threatening the Great Lakes.
We're sampling to detect them in the Great Lakes, but this was a problem caused exclusively by the USR.

More insults from Drumpf, this time about the 4 species of Asian carp that escaped from pens in the US of Russia, and are now threatening the Great Lakes.
Canada tests for them in 34 locations in Lakes Erie, Huron, Ontario & Superior.
Drumpf should fix *his* problem.

Ann Telnaes is great. She quit the Washington Post when they refused to publish this cartoon (a draft):
