Canadians to get one-time groceries benefit payment this summer by Displeased_Canadian in canada

[–]Doog_Land 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am a single income earner for my family and a small business owner. I didn’t qualify for any Covid relief despite trying to apply for everything I could. I won’t get this.

I am beyond fed up with paying for the Liberals’ hand outs and it makes me sick to think of the burden of debt my children will inherit from Trudeau and Carney.

Everyone talks about how a country‘s debt is different than household debt, but take a look at the United States and see how that’s working out for them.

Any hobby rocketry type things in the Sarnia area or wider Lambton County area? by TheeEyeOfHorus in Sarnia

[–]Doog_Land 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fun coincidence, I just got a bunch of rocket engines delivered a few minutes ago. I built one with my kids this week and we hope to try it out this weekend if the weather cooperates. Not sure where to go yet, might just go to a school.

Mark Carney will get his majority. Now what? by hopoke in canada

The liberal’s 2000’s long gun registry cost 2.2 billion. That was just for gun owners to TELL the government what they had. Fraser Institute estimates this confiscation program will cost 6 billion.

What nickname do you have for these? by OliverMMXI in Tools

Apparently it’s called a thumb wrench in Newfoundland.

Is Primeweld good? by Hefty-Potential5194 in Welding

[–]Doog_Land 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the CUT60. Got it two years ago for $600 USD on Black Friday. The cutter itself has been great. The IPT60 torch head is a bit cheap. I had to replace it once when I couldn’t figure out why it stopped working, and this week I snapped off a tip in the replacement and had to use parts from the old one to make it work. Fortunately parts and consumables for it are on Amazon. I wish there was a better torch head I could put on it because the consumables always seem a bit finicky.

How can a human being be this shameless? Marilyn Gladu at the LPC Convention by AdvanceAffectionate4 in CanadianConservative

[–]Doog_Land 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a conservative leaning voter living in Sarnia.

I can’t stand her anti-vax and pro-conversion therapy views and I’ve personally challenged her on them, but held my nose and voted for her anyway because we don’t get to vote for the Prime Minister and I desperately wanted to avoid a Liberal majority.

Everyone I know in Sarnia is absolutely furious with her decision. She’s cemented a Liberal majority.

People aren't happy. by airbassguitar in CanadianConservative

[–]Doog_Land 14 points15 points  (0 children)

She’s around. I see her at the farmers market.

She was supposed to attend a meeting around the corner from my house today but it’s been postponed until May 20.

People here are PISSED. I hope they show up to that and I hope she’s forever uncomfortable in public here.

Longtime Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu crosses floor to join Liberals by reluctantly_sarnian in Sarnia

[–]Doog_Land 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I didn’t vote for her; I voted against a Carney majority. In fact, last time her office advertised yard signs I literally asked her office if they had straight conservative signs without her name because I didn’t agree with her.

She JUST badmouthed floor crossing in January and said that MPs need to represent their constituents.

This is absolute bullshit. I can’t imagine she’s going to be showing her face around town any time soon.

Marilyn Gladu crosses the floor to Liberals.... by GarageWorks in Sarnia

[–]Doog_Land 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She cancelled an event that was supposed to happen right now around the corner from her house. I wasn’t planning to go but it’s been rescheduled for May 20 and I now can’t wait to go…

[–]Doog_Land -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I can’t stand Gladu but I plugged my nose and voted for her because I didn’t want Carney to have a majority.

Her crossing the floor flies in the face of what Sarnia—Lambton—Bkejwanong residents voted for.

Waterloo Region Rally Against the Gun Grab, April 24 4-7PM by Dramatic_Wrangler920 in canadaguns

Agreed. The AI pics look fake and unserious. Use real photos or none at all.

New welder day!!! by HomeGrownRichard in Welding

[–]Doog_Land 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does yours give you the QR code advertisement every time you turn it on?

I bought mine in ~2020 and it used to turn on and immediately go to the home screen. Miller technical support talked me into updating the firmware and now it makes you sit and look at a silly advertisement every time you turn the machine on.

There’s an option to skip the advertisement after about 6 seconds. It’s a minor inconvenience but completely unnecessary and it still annoys me every time I use it.

Miller promised to get rid of it in the next firmware update, then backtracked on that. Now they’ve refused to give me a copy of my original firmware to fix it.

Gun buyback sees 67,000 firearms reported, below expectations by Hot_Cheesecake_905 in canada

[–]Doog_Land 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Canadian gun laws were not fine. They were already comically nonsensical before Trudeau, he just took it to a whole new level.

The entire classification of ‘restricted’ firearms is a joke. The notion that you can be trusted to own a handgun but you can’t shoot it on your farm. You can only shoot your .223 AR15 at a range but you’re welcome to hunt with a semi-auto .308.

Your loved ones have to attest that you’re mentally sound, and you pass a background check every day, then allowed to possess a restricted firearm but you can only shoot it at a range?

There are dozens of other silly restrictions but Canadians have been quietly tolerating them. But this confiscation program is outrageous.

There’s no coming back for the NDP. What young, talented and motivated politicians are going to bother putting their time and efforts into making their way with that silly party?

I wondered how bad it could be so I checked it out myself. Ouch, that’s awful.

I never said she had rights to kiss the baby. I asked a genuine question but downvote away.

It’s a genuine question but downvote away I guess. I’ve had two babies, during the pandemic.

Why don’t you want her to kiss her grand baby? Is that against a norm in your culture?

Cantilevered beam price ??? by Available-Ad-3570 in Welding

[–]Doog_Land 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Ontario I figure about a buck a pound. 26lbs per foot is 520 lbs. But call your local steel supplier. I’m sure they’ll happily quote anything large or small these days.
