While I would agree with you and Voroxpete under the old rules of US politics, they no longer apply. Seems to me the average Representative either lies through his/her teeth (assuming they have any), or votes performatively, and then does something completely different, or nothing at all. I have come to really, really dislike this kind of performative vote, seeing my fellow Canadians mislead into believing it actually means that there are folks in the House, outside of two or three, who would actually do diddly-squat to prevent their country from overrunning its neighbours to achieve hegemony. Please don't tell me how your system works, because it stopped working somewhere around Mission Accomplished.

Last I looked, any vote in Congress was foreordained unless a few Republicans were suddenly to come down with the measles, and even then, they'd probably drag themselves through DC, infecting everyone they passed, to prove their loyalty to their God Emperor.

I think we have bigger things to worry about.

We could prove decisively in front of the world that there is much, much more fentanyl coming in to Canada from the US than the other way around (we have), we could broadcast films of guns confiscated with both Canadian and US border guards testifying to the reality (we've done that, too), we could counter every single lie with proof of the truth and it would not matter one bit, because those who are going to believe us already do, and those who say they don't really mean that whatever the Emperor says he's wearing, he is wearing, whether I can see it or not.

Mr. Trump and his rich sponsors want our resources, our water, our surrender and our country for their own. They will keep at this until either they are overthrown or we beat them in a genuine war, or climate change makes the whole point moot by killing so many of us off that the survivors are left to eat each other.

Read up on Joseph Goebbels' principles of propaganda. You will recognise them all.

2. Is ass backwards: journalists covering the city have to be where the councillors are, or they have nothing to write about. Our councillors are kind of pathetic, really....

Don't think it's a climb down -- I think he just gets a kick out of keeping everyone else running around in circles and trying to second guess him. Makes him feel powerful and in command. Guy's a Guinness Book All-Time Record Jerk.

It seems to take more keywords to home in on the kind of speciality items I look for, and does not always appear to detect connections between those keywords, for example in trying to find certain kind of veterinary support devices made to national specifications. One of the other commentors says Kagi is okay for shopping, so maybe I'll give it a whirl because I'd love to be free of Google once and for all.

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?

I'm interested, but a bit reluctant. I find DuckDuckGo quite adequate for most things, except shopping online, something that I have to rely on for certain categories of items. How is Kagi on shopping?

That's definitely good to know, as there's a BIG Dollarama just 4 blocks from here!

Thanks for the tip. We tried Opti-rinse, also recommended at our dental clinic and sold there. However, we really didn't need it, as floridation is already covered by our toothpaste. Our clinic was recently bought by one of the investment companies that are taking over the dental and veterinary industries in Canada, and upselling is part of their business model. The mouthwash recommended by the previous commentor looks more like what we need.

I remember seeing the coverage at the time, and saying to a colleague that Ukraine was making a huge mistake. He scoffed at the idea a middle-aged woman, even one with degrees in highly relevant fields, could grasp geopolitics. And now I'm an old woman, thinking quietly, 'X, you were an idiot then, and you are an idiot now.'

Fastest turn around in Canadian history! Already ordered and paid for, and it is very competitively priced, too. Thank you so much!
