Trip report, Lake Opeongo, Algonquin Pk, 15-19 Sep. The site I chose on Hailstorm Bay was very clean. I found a tiny piece of foil, & in the water there was an old battery cable & a plastic cap. I usually have much more cleanup to do.

Tranquility base on Lake Opeongo. For the 1st time ever, I'm getting 2 bars in Algonquin. My new phone maybe?

There is AI slop, and in Canada we have conservative slop, wherein the Libs and CPC are almost mirror images of each other. Should the 2 parties merge & end the long romance & pretense, or should one just dissolve/merge? Maybe Carney or Crombie could answer but don't hold your breath.

Some Yankee group wants to kayak up our West Coast and have access to camping sites. FNs weren't consulted, and bloody hell, screw the US of Russia. Reject this & let them go scream at their Dictator in Chief. You bastards started this. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Russian drones are now in Poland & Romania. If I get my packing done by tomorrow, I'm heading for 5 days in the bush in Algonquin Park. Maybe I'll return to WWIII, thanks to the lunatics in Russia & the US.

School's back in. Here's what the SARS-CoV-2 situation looks like in Canada based on wastewater surveillance. "Moderate" but clearly heading upwards from a relative lull. XFG (Stratus) is the dominant variant.

Gatineau is experimenting with shipping container homes for the homeless, as a bridge to getting their own apartments. Interesting idea. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

We've been watching the series Kabul, about the Western exit from Afghanistan. It's been absorbing with multiple stories happening. We remember all of the chaos of that time.

Okay, Ontario, can we do this? Let's smoke out Dorg & his useless minions.

1 more thing I didn't know. How ridiculous. My Dad was a volunteer firefighter & many of them got cancer. There's a monument to them in Ottawa.

Mark Carney’s response to Russian dissidents’ asylum request will reveal a lot about whether Canada is still, in any meaningful sense, an independent country. www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

BREAKING: Trump makes his first appearance at the US Open. There were audible boos and a few light claps. Important to stress the stadium is at most 10% full and the start time has been pushed to 2:30pm ET.

AND - the ‘annual’ shot forces Canadians to replay the same high surge of infection EVERY SEPTEMBER as school reopens. By time vaccines are available in Nov, huge chunk of people are ineligible because ‘recent infection’ and it’s removed from availability before they are again eligible. Farce.

I went out for groceries this morning, putting on a jacket. So of course the sun came out & my tshirt is soaked with sweat. I burst down the lanes with the power of ten thousand butterfly sneezes as I avoided crashing into carts parked in the middle of the aisles.

A spokesthingy says, "It's part of a post-pandemic calibration." Brilliant. We're still in the pandemic, avian flu continues to lurk, mpox keeps mutating, and global warming will likely give us new bugs. PHAC keeps on failing even as it cuts more people. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

The International Jewish Fund (IJF) lost its charitable status last year but wants it back. They funded Canada Park, built over 3 occupied Palestinian villages in the West Bank. FFS, you're entitled to worship (or not) in any religion but you can't harm others. ottawacitizen.com/news/canada/...

This is the real Doug Ford. They drafted a bill to get rid of bad municipal councillors, then went on the road to get feedback, deciding in the end to ignore all amendments. Emptying his Crown Royal was a diversion from his stupidity. Don't swallow it. ottawacitizen.com/opinion/ford...

Skippy says too many temporary foreign workers are taking jobs from young men of the conservative manosphere, who are just itching to pick crops, with a wad of Zyn in their gobs & wearing chinos. Hell, the women don't want them, so they've got to do something. nationalnewswatch.com/2025/08/27/p...

Come visit the US of Russia where we'll pry through your electronics & social presence, possibly detain or ship you to some gulag, and ask how much you love Drumpf. We prefer that you're white and don't have an accent. BTW, don't eat anything while you're here. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Lunatic Nation strikes again. I recall when RFK Jr was being vetted, they asked if he's stop vaccinations. He said, "Oh, no." I recall when Drumpf's SCOTUS candidates were asked if they'd kill Roe vs Wade. "Oh, no." Healthcare & the law are whatever we say they are.

Not that you really need it because we've already found alternatives from Canada & other sane countries, but here are more reasons to avoid buying any US of Russia food products...

Leblanc had a constructive meeting with Nutlick after shoving a watermelon into Nutlick's festering gob. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Double check

Canada should block export of these minerals to the US of Russia, except for potash, which s/b sold with a very hefty excise tax. Carney won't, but he should.

I've been getting warning messages from Bitdefender antivirus that it blocked a weather app that was trying to install software on my PC. I went to the list of programs under the Start button, found it, and uninstalled it. I don't recall ever installing this, & I'm so damn careful.

Macron should send this prick home, something Carney should've done with Hoekstra.
