  1. They look like '63s or '64s. Other than the contour along the bottom of the hood, they look identical. I wonder if they copied the 'doos or just bought the moulds from J-A when the hood was revised w/ the "vee"?
  2. What? http://www.peelpolice.ca/en/News/index.aspx?newsId=b274555f-e117-4d5d-bffb-d28660c67007 I can see stealing cats for the rare earth elements, but diff' covers?
  3. A 500 cc special that 'doo built for XC racing?

    Shock Rebuild

    Accelerated Technologies is on CR 36 between Buckhorn & Burleigh Falls. 90 bucks each this fall. (BRP T/As)
  5. Q: How can you tell when a Liberal is lying? A: His lips are moving. I forgot to mention in my UN rant that if PM Fluffhead wants a 1st hand account of the UN's clusterfuck in Rwanda, he can just get in touch w/ retired Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire . From Wiki':
  6. Been away from the 'tube off to visit Killer's neighbourhood. Even walked past the MINT up there. The UN where to start? The Oil for Food Scandal: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2004/mar/21/20040321-101405-2593r/ The Rwandan genocide (which the UN was in country) : http://history1900s.about.com/od/rwandangenocide/a/Rwanda-Genocide.htm Pol Pot's reign of terror in which over a million Cambodian citizens perished. Not sure if there was any attempt by the UN to stop this http://www.biography.com/people/pol-pot-9443888 The Syrian civil war. Five years in which the UN has been unable/unwilling to stop. The UNHRC & its members w/ less than stellar human tights records. http://www.economist.com/node/11090832 UNICEF, does it even exist anymore? Even before I moved from the city in '11, it had been years since I had seen a kid on Hallowe'en collecting for UNICEF. Those of us that went to school in the 60s & 70s will remember being cajoled by our teachers to take collection boxes when we were trick or treating. I wonder if our educators wisened up or what? I imagine there are other examples of the UN's uselessness (I'm sure AC & O2 can provide some others) but it reminds me of the League of Nations prior to WWII. The Axis pretty much did as they pleased before war actually broke out (see Austria/Sudetenland, Manchuria & Abyssinia). Today's despots fuck over their populations w/o any worries of repercussions from the UN. And this is an organization that Trudeau thinks so highly of? The only time Canada is on the radar of persons around the world is when Bono or Ban Ki Moon come begging hat in hand. Even then this doesn't reach the world media, Finally, I saw a segment about the latest Syrian talks w/ US Secretary of State Kerry speaking. No mention of Stephane Dion's contribution. Mind you the media outside of Canada could be excused for ignoring him as they probably didn't understand what he was going on about.
  7. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/08/world/americas/nobel-peace-prize-juan-manuel-santos-colombia.html?_r=0 I guess there's always next year. LOL He's a shoe in for it next year as Joe Biden says that PM Trudeau and Canada have to take the lead as the world descends into darkness https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2016/12/08/bidens-visit-to-ottawa-under-a-shroud-of-secrecy-speculation.html As if the world leaders are going to listen what a Canadian PM has to say.
  8. Are things that bad in Canada that we need advice from Joe Biden?
  9. Every so many years the back side of the notes have been changed. In the past the 5s have had a fishing boat, kingfisher & kids playing hockey on the reverse in the past. Wasn't there "outrage" because of the appearance of 1 of the scientists looked/didn't look Asian? It bothers me because so much "advancement" of this country seems to focus on non-issues. I could care less if the notes have George VI on them as long as they're legal tender. But to make a big deal that somehow we're better today because of this? SMH The media keeps feeding this line of BS that Canada needs change & JT is the person to do it. Well that's doubtful. Putting MORONS in important positions (just because it's 2015) is a recipe for disaster. Talking to a long time friend of the family @ the local garage the other day. Somehow the topic of Monsef came up. Well he said his step-daughter went to high school w/ Monsef. He didn't say much but said she wasn't impressed. What's between your legs or where you're from doesn't mean you're qualified.
  10. Yes that is a really pressing matter that the vast majority of people felt was necessary. Deflection in a big way. "Oh PM Trudeau did this" Whoop de fucking do! I hope the people that were clamouring for a woman on our currency can sleep better tonight. Reminds me of this: http://www.macleans.ca/general/first-women-inducted-into-the-hockey-hall-of-fame/ I'm pretty sure there was a collective "Who is Angela James?" across Canada followed by, "Why wasn't Hayley Wickenheiser named?" when the nominees were announced.
  11. When that happens all the anti-monarchists will say now is the time to cut those ties. "Create a committee to select a bunch of political hacks/PC types nobody has heard of, to replace the Queen, beaver, Bluenose, etc on the coins. You know our currency should be gender neutral." I'm surprised a person can't get a logo plate from the MTO w/ the rainbow flag on it. If you can get 1 w/ a beaver playing LAX, it doesn't seem fair that (if what we're told is true) a large segment of our population can't get that plate.
  12. Is he bumping William Lyon Mackenzie King, the Liberal PM who talked to his dead mother, off the 50?
  13. http://www.thepeterboroughexaminer.com/2016/12/08/as-privacy-criticism-mounts-peterborough-kawartha-mp-maryam-monsef-defends-online-electoral-reform-survey-and-says-shes-proud-of-canadians-who-take-it Maybe she should've stuck to washing windows? The local media has said very little about the beleaguered MP. CHEX just replays segments from CTV or Global. Their own reporters haven't questioned her on any of her issues.
  14. I figured out why we've got to get Sir John A off the 10 spot. He's white, male, Scottish & was a pisstank. Hey that's the current immigration minister. LOL He doesn't represent Canada's "diverse & inclusive" society. If I hear another politician say that's why Canada is strong, I'm going to puke. I grew up in a neighbourhood that had a lot of kids that were 1st generation Canadians of European descent. They all just blended in w/ the Canucks & never asked for any handouts. After her Ottawa-Orleans byelection win, Marie-France Lalonde said, "We are inclusive. We are the party of diversity. We're not going to judge you on who you are, your beliefs". She could've added merit & ability to that statement too.
  15. I must've missed that one. I do recall the Mountie chasing the Yank & his 6 shooters back across the border. "See even in the old days 'mericans were gun-crazy."
  16. Guaranteed he'll cry when he meets Trump if he's crying over the Syrian refugee influx. http://business.financialpost.com/fp-comment/terence-corcoran-trudeaus-tears-on-the-cbc-wash-away-credit-the-harper-tories-deserve-for-syrian-refugees A definite sign that this "grown up" has no balls.
  17. Surprised he was up that early in the day. Maybe he'd been on an all-nighter?
  18. I hope you weren't following this stupid process?
  19. I think Aunt Jemima would've been a better choice. At least she's a household name.
  20. The low info & young voters bought into the whole "sunny ways" BS. Apparently turnout amongst the 18-25 year old demographic was the highest recorded. I imagine the legalisation of pot probably contributed to that. That and the ABC movement blinded them to her inexperience/naivete. I doubt any of them saw a problem w/ his "budgets balance themselves" comment since that wouldn't be on their radar. A lot of Liberal supporters in the riding were quite pleased to see Del Mastro's downfall. Well they reap what they sow & as a result the riding is saddled w/ a useless MP who is becoming an albatross to the PM. Del Mastro was trying to get passenger service reinstated to Peterborough w/ little or no assistance from the riding's MPP. Leal is more or less 1 of Mcguinty/Wynne's trained seals. I've never heard him respond to ANYTHING w/o reading something prepared in Queens Park.
  21. Got my post card in the mail today. Just like everything else concerning the electoral reform, it's a waste of money. I thought it would be a method for Canadians to voice their thought on the matter that don't have internet access. All it tells me is that I can have my say @ www.MyDemocracy.ca or use a Twitter or Facebook page. No space for comments (how archaic). So I added my own & it will be going back in the mail.
