The Sir Charles Tupper Society

The Tupper Society supports carving Mount Robson into a “Canadian Mount Rushmore” featuring Tupper, Macdonald, Diefenbaker, and Harper; building the Tupper-Diefenbaker Railway from Thunder Bay to Churchill; and creating the Sir Charles Tupper Canal through the Chignecto Isthmus.

@jmasseypoet We hit this on a lot of posts as a start.

My heart goes out to the average X user, and I mean that without condescension, who doesn't go beyond out-of-context clips when determining an individual's viewpoint. If you're not checking sources and full context, your opinion is empty air. You're making yourself sick.

@PAHoyeck 66% of philosophers no longer have doubts , up from 16% since 1970.

Studies indicate that 97% of things don't mean anything.

@FaberBooks @IanCallaway352 Will be looking for this as soon as we get through James Lees Milne’s diary- only 11-1/2 volumes to go. Oh, wait. There’s the Eliot letters, next. Suppose Bennett will have a couple more out by then, but we promise…the funds are set aside.

'In an age of curated self-belief, his vulnerabilities feel refreshing, his reticence almost radical' The Times Enough Said, the new collection of diaries and prose from Alan Bennett, is out now, published by Faber and Profile Books 📚

@GraemeMenzies Finland: Biggest liars on surveys.

Fortunately Canadians have the 🥰Davos Speech🥰 to lift them out of their happiness decline.

@TheMonologist Immediately brings to mind, this…

One of the best job applications ever written came from the hands of Robert Pirosh in 1934. MGM loved it, took him on and he went on to become an Oscar-winning screenwriter.

@BoylanRoger @IanCallaway352 He should never have written about his teeth. That’s all we can think about when we see his picture. If we look too long, we get psychosomatic tooth pain and start wondering whether we are unknowingly experiencing bruxism.

Martin Amis at work.

@cselley The slyest serial killers become physicians or road engineers.

As a Torontonian I am honour-bound to find a way to disagree with this. I'll see what I can do.

@MarMusto Can they analyze the snot on the pages to determine how his diet affected his thought from day to day?

Marx lived in poverty for many years and in 1862 he was in such desperate straits that he tried to get hired as a clerk in a British railroad office. The answer to his application was negative, as he was told that he could not fill that position because of his bad handwriting. Marx's handwriting was very small and almost illegible. After his death, Engels had to train Kautsky & Bernstein to decipher it. This was the beginning of a long work (still going on) that made possible the publication of an imposing mass of unpublished manuscripts left by #Marx.

@JoshPhillipsPhD We concur. Excuse the delay in our response—our assistant screenshots posts of interest, prints them on 28‑lb bond for our perusal, and if we feel inclined to comment, we send her a fax to create a post. All of this takes time.

Correct.

@MVdlJCardinal A train like that needs a culture where no one would say, “Hey, be cool to see what a brick do to dat windshield.”

And people think Canada can pull something like this off? 🤣🤣🤣

@katheder No entry in the index of yesterday’s arrival…

One of those 'Why in gawd's name was this ever written? - but I'm glad it was - and that I've finally got it' books.

@argent_631 A bit sceptical about tweed at -30c.

Watching too many "stylish gentlemen" A.I. videos. Do I really need that four pocket field jacket and no, I will not forgo cargo shorts and pants. The acetate well defined eyeglasses, well maybe that's a power move.

Idiocracy?

@ikwilson @globeandmail Recusal…pshaw!. We want him to resign and live out his days as a recluse in a remote cabin with only copies of The Institutes of the Lawes of England (Coke), Commentaries on the Laws of England (Blackstone), and the Bible (KJV) for company.

Buy Canadian policy does not mean majority of supplies used in public works or home construction must be Canadian, says @HICC_ca Minister @gregorrobertson. “We’re not being rigid about this.” blacklocks.ca/buy-canadian-n… #cdnpoli

@michaeltaube The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich didn’t fit in no pocket.

There may be an opportunity for an entrepreneur or small publishing house to keep inexpensive paperback books in stock. Won't be easy due to escalating costs and the market being flooded. Perhaps an original line of authors writing short stories or poetry? scrippsnews.com/dont-waste-you…

@LionAdvocacy A law firm. A senator Some rich guy A bronze foundry Legal publisher His wife

Here's my list of who would be the most disturbing donors of the $18k gift to our Supreme Court: 1. Trudeau / Trudeau Foundation 2. Members of his Cabinet; 3. Dr. Tam, Dr. Henry, anyone from Public Health; 4. Foreign Gov; 5. Canadian Association of Crown Counsel. Anyone else?

@TheHubCanada @mgeist The government can try to regulate AI, but it can’t stop people from running local LLMs offline. Maybe we’ll pass a lady who opens her trench coat to reveal rows of USB drives and says, “Hey baby, looking for a large-model chat companion?”

@JanJekielek And traveling execution vans are part of the transplant delivery system. youtu.be/Zye_bDuO1-Y?si…

Right now, wealthy travelers around the world can fly to hospitals in China to get organ transplants within weeks. These organs don't come from willing donors, but are instead forcibly taken from innocent religious prisoners like the Falun Gong and the Uyghurs. They have been tissue-typed and blood-typed in prisons and camps throughout China—and then are killed to order. It was a pleasure and an honor to speak recently at @Hillsdale about what's going on in China today. Hillsdale is an incredible institution that is teaching students the importance of truth, goodness, beauty and the dignity of every human being, created in the image of God. Utilitarian bioethics—the perverse push for the "greatest good for the greatest number"—is directly undercutting these ideals. My new book "Killed to Order" breaks down the dangers of utilitarian bioethics which has reached the extreme in China, and is now spreading to the West.
