Sault Ste. Marie is home to the 49th Field Artillery Regiment - an active reserve unit with the Royal Canadian Artillery.

If the guns fail, soldiers die. So why are we permitting the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal to play identity politics with their lives?

Hold muh beer. I’m off to Canada to make heap big loonies as a “human rights trainer.”

It seems business is all but mandated.

What Mr. Lane reportedly forgot to mention on his job application is that he happens to be bipolar.

Probably just an oversight on his part. Right! Right!

I like this writer and thanks for the ping, Lancey.

I found this line hilarious....

As a member of the fine arts community, I sympathize with those who suffer from mental illness

Sympathetic as he may be, it wasn't enough to prepare him for the Ontario Mischief Commission, whose meeting with the BiPolar Mr. Lane seems....arranged.

Thanks for the ping.
This is the first I have heard of this.
I find myself somewhat lost for words at the moment.

I don’t think Americans qualify unless they’re draft dodgers.
