to suggest that classified documents could be declassified telepathically. Uh, by him.
And so the terminally lying/Fake news/alternate reality ex-prez-felon collides head-on with rational, sane legal arguments. His current lawyers would never be stupid enough to suggest the same in court.
Methinks, he just babbled this off-the-map absurdity for his dumb-ass QAnon base.
A perfect weekday for walking about Edmonton region’s most beautiful area. A sunny, warm, windless September morning between 10 am and noon, basically having the whole park to ourselves.
The Japanese Garden was calm and peaceful with many nice prospects pervaded by stillness and quietude. One could sit and meditate by oneself in several locations.
The Aga Khan Garden is the more dynamic garden with movement, water, and sound.
Faux fish in the pools.
The amphitheatre: a perfect place for outdoor shows a la Shakespeare in the Park.
Earlier using the race card, unsuccessfully, to try to dodge a speeding ticket through a school zone, a ticket most of us honest folks would just pony up on. No moral leader or example this guy from the get-go.
And now thanking the Freedom Convoy, those lawless yahoo-rednecks with rifles down at Coutts supposedly ‘protecting AB’s freedoms’ re. Covid restrictions by the feds. Shamelessly, arrogantly, sanctioning lawlessness, which is fair game to a truly bent moral mind like his.
right through to the end of his corrupt ‘Little General reign’.
Telling a T.O. press conference yesterday that the mountains are 45 mins. away from the cities. (1 1/4 hr. to Kananaskis or Canmore from Calgary.) Lying to people in Vancouver and T.O. he wants to recruit for AB in order to plump up his totally tarnished image.
as well as the incredibly classy traditional funeral for the most deservedly famous person in the world of late. The country puts the current U.S. and others to shame with its careful planning and adherence to deep cultural traditions. (You will never see a similar funeral broadcast on the world stage like that ever again. End of an era, indeed. Can you imagine the crassness, noise, craziness and violence of a similar event held in the s-hole States?)
I have long admired Britain and England with its massive world-famous literature (Shakespeare and many others), its interesting films and tv series, and its great devotion to preserving its history and culture. (They sure got it right contrasted to Canada which tears down its historical buildings every 50 years.)
Despite their various ‘troubles’, the English are decent, respectful folk who appreciate/d their Queen, the monarchy, their history, and culture. The Queen epitomized that decent, reasoned and civilized approach in how to do things with class, memorability, and public inclusion.
A truly exhausting day for all involved in the procession and finale today. Hard not to be utterly impressed by the overwhelming success of the day (with no rubes and incidents like those, typically, in the brash, ugly U.S.) In particular, I was wowed by the amazing grenadiers, the speeches, the crowd behaviors, the music, the Queen’s corgis and horse, and the lone piper’s plaintive lament.
Classy, from top to bottom for 8 hours, and worthy of the passing and celebration of the most famous Queen who ever lived on the planet: Elizabeth II.

Been going on several days now. Moving the van at 6:30 am before they arrive. Having to park up the street. Lots of ‘machine gun’ noise, swearing, smoke, and inconvenience. Our tax dollars at work. Trapped at home. No deliveries. No morning walks on these wasted nice days. I think they will finish Wed. or Thurs. I should finish the fence painting then, too. Normalcy can’t come soon enough.
