Oh Canada!

Mar 30, 2024

Just be a little polite and considerate to... bank robbers!

“Criminals are becoming increasingly violent,” said Detective Robert Shannon of the 51 Division Robbery Squad. “That’s why we’re recommending that in order to avoid being the subject of a violent armed robbery, all banks leave a big pile of cash in the doorway or lobby vestibule of every branch. That way they can avoid the criminals entering the branch and potentially harming employees or customers before stealing the money anyway.”

Hey, makes as much sense as putting your car keys close to the front door for those diligent thieves.

Abolish police!

Oh, not like that:

What the hell is an "emotional support beverage"? Is that, like, grapefruit juice in a small bottle with a nipple?

It's cold in Canada

Mar 24, 2024

The slave class future doctors, engineers, and builders in New New Delhi Canada can't afford to pay the bills:

When Gobindbir Singh describes the stress international students are under, he remembers a young man who called in tears. Unable to pay his tuition for the upcoming semester, the student said his parents were selling their home in India and it still wasn't enough.

That's the condition of the study visa: sufficient financial resources to pay for tuition, rent, food, and transportation.

Post-secondary institutions and policymakers are facing significant scrutiny over the increase as colleges and universities increasingly use international student tuition to supplement inadequate government funding. Meanwhile, more stories are surfacing of international students living in substandard housing and relying on food banks.

I've seen clips of two Indian You Tube luminaries in Ontario who gladly stole from food banks while showing off their new cars a few videos later! They are not victims. They're fraudsters. If they can't afford the tuition and basic living costs, then they shouldn't be in Canada.

Singh, president of the Gurdwara Dukh Nivaran, said he believes one of the reasons students start using drugs is to deal with the mental distress of living in a place where they cannot afford housing or food, and to cope with loneliness. [...]

Singh said he would not recommend that parents in India send their aspiring students to Canada.

Boomers

Mar 20, 2024

No money for you!

How can I ever settle down and give them grandchildren if there isn't any money in the pipeline to support them? Do they want to go on holiday more than they want me to be able to have and bring up children?

I'm not alone in agonising over where my parents' hard-earned money is going. According to a survey by an online wealth management advice firm called Moneyfarm, two in five adult children feel their 'blood boiling' at the idea their parents are blowing their inheritance on luxury holidays.

Many years ago, my mother was showing her jewelry to my sisters. She was asking them about their preferences because, eventually, it'll be theirs. The conversation shifted to my dad. Hey, what do you want to give us? In a somewhat vicious manner, he stated that we'll get nothing from him.

Once you finish high school and college, there'll be no money for you. Get lost, you're on our own.

He wasn't kidding.

Another friend admits she puts phone notifications from her mum on silent when her parents go 'gallivanting abroad' — because all the pictures of dreamy destinations make her jealous. And resentful.

'My inheritance is currently being drunk through a straw in a coconut in the Caribbean,' she says. 'It's going to be slim pickings at this rate.'

The cold cold North

Mar 15, 2024

It's illegal to own a handgun, taser or pepper spray in Ontario, Canada. So, when criminals break into your home, what can you do?

As reported by blogTO, Toronto Police Service Constable Marco Ricciardi said, "To prevent the possibility of being attacked in your home, leave your [key] fobs at your front door because they're breaking into your home to steal your car. They don't want anything else."

That police constable is one mighty psychic! What happens when a criminal is not content with stealing your automobile? Perhaps, he's interested in pilfering a few more items? Or he has the sudden urge to rearrange your face? Maybe, he wants to bend you over, tear off your underwear, and then culturally enrich you?

In that case, you can take solace in the fact that you left your car keys near the front door. Also, nobody ever called you a RACISSS!

100% increase in four years

Mar 14, 2024

A six-pack of coca cola bottles went for $2 in Canada four years ago. Now, it's $4. So, this story tracks well:

A restaurant in San Francisco’s Mission District is catching attention online after recently bumping the price of its signature burrito from $11 to $22.

Still, the following would definitely make one cry:

[...] the price of nearly everything he uses to make his food has gone up. Like onions for example. “Before COVID, they were like $9 a sack at Restaurant Depot, I used to pick them up. During COVID, and after, it was $40 dollars. Right now, it’s $80,” said Lopez.

An 800% increase for the price of onions!?

Just stay away!

The Virginia woman believed to have been killed alongside her husband by escaped prisoners who commandeered the couple’s yacht in the Caribbean was allegedly raped by one of their murderers, according to police.

One of the three men charged with the couple’s murder allegedly raped Kathy Brandel, 71, before the trio killed her and her 66-year-old husband, Ralph Hendry, on their sailboat last month, according to the Royal Grenada Police Force.

Switch to Airbus

Mar 11, 2024

At least 50 people were hurt when a Boeing 787 operated by LATAM Airlines dropped abruptly mid-flight from Sydney to Auckland on Monday, according to the airline and a New Zealand health service organisation that treated the injured.

Always wear your seat belt. Otherwise, this can happen:

"Some of the roof panels were broken from people being thrown up and knocking through the plastic roof panels in the aisle ways. And there was blood coming from several people's heads." Jokat, who was not injured in the incident, said. He said passengers who were doctors on the plane provided bandages and neck braces for people who were severely injured.

That's some serious trauma.

Where CHIPS go to D.I.E.

Mar 09, 2024

The Biden administration recently promised it will finally loosen the purse strings on $39 billion of CHIPS Act grants to encourage semiconductor fabrication in the U.S. But less than a week later, Intel announced that it’s putting the brakes on its Columbus factory. The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has pushed back production at its second Arizona foundry. The remaining major chipmaker, Samsung, just delayed its first Texas fab.

This is not the way companies typically respond to multi-billion-dollar subsidies. So what explains chipmakers’ apparent ingratitude? In large part, frustration with DEI requirements embedded in the CHIPS Act.

The following takes the cake:

There’s plenty for the left—requirements that chipmakers submit detailed plans to educate, employ, and train lots of women and people of color, as well as “justice-involved individuals,” more commonly known as ex-cons.

These are the secret ingredients for building $20 billion fabs and manufacturing bleeding edge computer chips:

  1. Mildly retarded colored people.
  2. Lots of vaginas.
  3. Criminals.

The Taiwanese and the Koreans must have been quite amused. Of course, if they refuse to hire such scholars, thespians, and strong, independent wahmen, then they are definitely VITE SOUPEMACISSS!

The CHIPS Act’s current identity as a jobs program for favored minorities means companies are forced to recruit heavily from every population except white and Asian men already trained in the field. It’s like fishing in all the places you aren’t getting bites.
