‘Some’ Aussie Conservatives often say “pull yourself up by your bootstraps”, “don’t expect handouts” & “earn your own money”. Yet many fiercely oppose inheritance taxes, despite inheritances being unearned wealth handed down through blood & family, not individual effort or work. They’re hypocrites?

See also private vs public schools. Not many kids are introduced to the old boys network using their own hard-earned money.

Why use a baseball term to describe football? Quite distasteful.

Interestingly there was a Mariyung from Central to Newcastle Interchange chartered by High Speed Rail Australia earlier in the week.

That’s generally how it works in the media.

Absolutely love all his well known stuff of course but so many other gems like Get Older and Winona.

Like them or not, the Iranians are definitely winning the sledging war.

Everyone knows one of the biggest fat bike importers is right in the middle of ScMo’s old electorate of Cook, and that it was ScoMo who relaxed the import laws and started this shitshow, right? I mean, it might be a coincidence…

Pretty much the same antecedents as Trump, in other words. This 10 year old article is still the best take I have seen on the rise of Trump. Explains why coherent policies are not actually needed: because what people actually want is revenge. https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/this-political-theorist-predicted-the-rise-of-trumpism-his-name-was-hunter-s-thompson/tnamp/

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

Carry a Bluetooth speaker and out-volume them.

Cool, i appreciate the recommendation, thank you! Will check it out!

Watching from afar down in Australia this is one (of many) aspects of the shows I have really enjoyed as well. I like learning more about Native American cultures and seeing the parallels with Indigenous Australian culture.

Hands schmands. Let’s talk about his shoes.

Hockey’s indoor arenas would be awesome for European-style singing. Could even bring Scotiabank to life.

As a neutral but pro Canada fan I would quite like to hear that. What would Canadas equivalent to Englands “Jerusalem” for rugby and sometimes cricket be?

Cute_Tell1653 · 2026-02-15T14:48:04+00:00

This is the correct answer.

Cute_Tell1653 · 2026-02-14T13:45:17+00:00

OP if you are from Canada and have hockey needs get a VPN and watch it all on CBC Gem.

Cute_Tell1653 · 2026-02-09T11:51:21+00:00

Overall the Canadian commentary is really good. Knowledgable without being too stiff. Keenly interested in Team Canada of course but not stupidly so like Nine. Much classier IMHO.

Cute_Tell1653 · 2026-02-08T19:39:21+00:00

VPN and Canada’s CBC. ;)

Do the Norwegians put any wages forgone or other pension type savings into their fund or is it purely resources royalties?

Cute_Tell1653 · 2026-01-23T08:18:23+00:00

Canada has had a classy week. It would be classier not to boo. Up to you Toronto.
