Kemptville, Ont. grocer seen selling American wine despite U.S. liquor ban
A grocery store south of Ottawa has removed its stock of California wines from its shelves after customers raised concerns it was not permitted to sell the product because of an Ontario ban on sales of U.S. liquor.
Bottles of red and white CK Mondavi, a California wine, were spotted on several shelves at the front of an aisle at Jonsson’s Your Independent Grocer in Kemptville when CTV News arrived on Tuesday.
Canada is basically America’s little brother that went to college and came back all retardinated.
Tariffs are bad, just another form of taxes, but they might be worth it just to watch Canada’s adorable little temper tantrum.

Family furious after company sends girl Kim Jong Un costume instead of Mary Poppins
A young student hoping to step into Book Week in the most delightful way has been dealt a cruel blow after her mother received the wrong costume just days before the parade.
While planning to attend her Melbourne school festivities as the iconic Mary Poppins, CostumeBox instead sent the 10-year-old girl a Kim Jong Un costume.
The family has been left in a scramble, racing to replace the Supreme Leader of North Korea ensemble before the parade takes place on Friday.
I thought that was a Hassan Piker costume.
Yeah, it has been noted that he wears Mao suits.
But somehow there are people taking his shit seriously.
Part of me thinks he’s just a performance artist.
#metoo
Probably started as some sort of performance artist, but started to believe his own bullshit, and now thinks he is super duper smart.
Well, he’s a nepo baby and related that asshole Cenk Something so I suspect he is a true believer.
I’m Mary Poppins, y’all.
“We have been clear – U.S. alcohol will remain off shelves. We expect all retailers, including this grocer, to follow the rules,” said an emailed statement from the office of Ontario Minister of Finance Peter Bethlenfalvy.
Reminds me of mask up and stay six feet apart.
Snitches get stitches.
What has the holding cost been? Keep it going.
Bethlenfalvy? Of the Fire Island Bethlenfalvies?
Idaho is a small market. I’m fine with tariffing American whiskey. I’m seeing bottles on the shelves regularly that were once a rarity.
Let’s centrally plan the economy because we don’t like how markets work.

HAH!
On a serious note: I am masquerading as a Republican now. A local group of libertarians are just as fed up with local school spending as the town Republicans are. We’ve are registered Republicans now and are going to their meetings to help out efforts to fight local spending. Many of the town Republicans are very conservative and not at all libertarian. I’ve dropped some hints. I think a few suspect something but I’m not sure.
I’ve dropped some hints
Political hanky code?
Political hanky code?
Sometimes I wear a Hawaiian shirt to the meeting.
There are other hints.
I know there are some hankies for ass sex but not sure about Mexicans or pot.
“Are you holding?”
Butt seks hankies?!
“While planning to attend her Melbourne school festivities as the iconic Mary Poppins, CostumeBox instead sent the 10-year-old girl a Kim Jong Un costume.”
How else were they going to get rid of all those Kim Jong costumes? Expect to see a bunch come Halloween. My question is, who ordered a bunch of Kim Jong costumes for CostumeBox?
Len Brown, creator of the Mars Attacks Topps card series passed away.
I passed on a set of the originals, with the store display box. Honestly I am glad I did. I am a poor custodian of such things.
He also was on the team for Wacky Packages and Garbage Pail Kids.
I had examples of both.
Not the Bee?

Where’s the crazy liberal lady costume?
Preteens want the Dolly Parton costume, complete with “accessories”
The girls are looking for Sophies
I’ve seen the Construction Worker costume also labeled as “The Only Person Who Will Do This Job Without Showing Up Repeatedly Late or High” costume
That’s really long to put on a cardboard insert.
Kim Jong Un, Mary Poppins. What’s the difference? They’re both fighting against the man.
They are both practically perfect in every way.
It will be fine with a spoonful of sugar.
Well begun is half done, Sensei.
C’mon, Mary never had 18 holes in one in a single round.
The federal government announced new retaliatory dollar-for-dollar tariffs on Tuesday impacting hundreds of American products.
Wait, there are U.S.-made products that Canadians can afford to buy (besides bottom of the barrel bulk wine)?
I guess that explains the lack of CT and MRI machines in the country.

You need to stay together to avoid being alone.
Good tune.
I only know them from this banger.
“customers raised concerns it was not permitted to sell the [California wine] because of an Ontario ban on sales of U.S. liquor.”
Those customers need to go fuck themselves. Or fuck each other without proper consent. Geography permitting, they should fuck the unwilling, also-liquor -complaining recipient across the US border. Maybe one of those draw-bridge entry things will chop a cock off. That’s the proper way to fully snip for MtF. Frightful blood loss shows ya *mean* it.
People who have no life but to complain. God, fuck those people. They really anger me.
Yarp. Old times, such people would be shot dead in duels.
I’m with you and others, it would be great. But only if it were the old times. Now, folk would challenge to a duel over fucking nothing, and the unarmed or chicken shit *raises hand* would give in.
We already have that, frankly. Just play the RACISM! card at anything to get better treatment? That’s the modern day training wheels of dueling. I don’t like the way that’s going as it is, let alone to ‘normalize’ upping the ante with big consequences. Folk used to deal over bullshit back in the day, too. But they kinda lived on life-long reputation, rather than the 15sec TikTokaroony we see today.
Dammit. It really would be good to have back. First societal training wheels? Shame needs a comeback. (I suppose I’m glad I don’t have much to lose, there.)
Canadians have been boot licking serfs since before 1776.
That plus a massive inferiority complex. They really never like the US under the best of circumstances except when exchange rates make it convenient to shop here.
What a bunch of cucks. You’d think they’d be glad to have a source for it, but no, they fall all over themselves to be good little Nazis.
Fuck Canada. I say we let the Chinese have them, and good riddance.
I’ve known several beer and bottle shops that had a… under the shelf… collection for trusted customers. Sounds like Canada needs to learn that tradition.
With the news of Dolly Parton’s death, the online tributes have been rolling in.
Including at least one of questionable taste (I admit… took me a second).
Ha!
Damn TwiX won’t let me save that image
LOL
Great song, btw.
So your boss said drop it. Either convince him or if you feel strongly about it resign and go public.

General had a point, but so does his boss.
What are we even talking about at the end of the day? It sounds more like it turned into a political pissing contest between generals. I could give two flying fucks. Is that 100% safe? Not really. Neither is most training. It’s a no-harm-no-foul stunt. Just get the fuck over it. We aren’t talking about torture or some slaughter of civilians here.
The dump corner is nearby but not as popular.
+1 furry litterbox.
What about the batin’ corner?
Go away…
I got something in my eye when I watched this.

This is awesome. LCpl must have thrown on his uniform one more time for the ceremony. No way his leadership let him walk into that room looking like that, Bronze Star w/ V or not.
No AirPods though.
LCpls are the E4 mafia of the USMC. There’s a fine line and he’s pushed way over not quite crossed it.
Oh, the haters demanding a shave and haircut! Dude left as a terminal lance, he’s got no fucks to give and he’s earned it. Fuck yeah! *hawk cry*
If I were potus I’d make everyone in the service grow a beard or you’re getting kicked out.
That’s discriminatory against us baby-faced Irish.
You have to be able to piss on a wall too.
Kind of goes to what I’ve said for a while. Looking “professional” has dick all to do with winning wars or fighting them. Some people in comments want to talk shit, though plenty get that fact.
Dude probably doesn’t even want to fucking be there for that bullshit.
Soldiers have won the MOH for less heroism than this Marine displayed in combat.

Oh, that author can fuck right off.
I don’t even have to read that to know where it is going to go.
It was either Drumpf! or kkklimate kkkhange. Those are the only possibilities
Or could have had something to do with Epstein?
And they inadvertently used “beg the question” sort of correctly.

Interesting story. Would make a good flick. Up the stakes a bit. Drama! Intrigue! (add some) SEXY INTRIGUE!
Man whose identity remains unknown sentenced for using identity of deceased child for 25 years
Using the stolen identity, the DOJ alleges that the defendant, whose true identity remains a mystery, obtained numerous government benefits totaling approximately $284,000.
According to court records and evidence presented at trial, Carlos Ramon Obregon was born in 1963 in Los Angeles but was killed in Los Angeles in 1977 at the age of 14 after suffering from a gunshot wound to the head during a drive-by shooting.
In 2000, the defendant in the case applied for a replacement social security card using Obregon’s social security number, Obregon’s date of birth, and Obregon’s parent’s names, according to court records. At trial, Obregon’s mother testified that her son died in 1977, and the defendant wasn’t him.
In my drinking days I lost my wallet a few times. Once when I was in the military. I had just got to the post. Had my social in it because I needed it for bullshit in the military all the time and had just gotten there along with military ID.
I’m happy to know that it may have gone to a Juan or Diego to get the benefits I’ll never take from the government. Or maybe a con on the lamb even!
Or it’s just in the trash somewhere.
I imagine that is a very popular way to defraud the taxpayer.
Mom’s dad somehow registered and received a second Social Security name, number, and card, and… we don’t know why. He also got backup cards for mom and my uncle, but without as much paperwork. I presume an ‘escape identity.’
Kinda a shame it was never put to good use. Then again… or what it?! THAT’S what the place in FL was all about! SOMETHING!
Democrats again thwarted by failure to follow the rules.
The answer might shock you.
GravityLightning?First Dolly Parton and then the sweet transvestite Tim Curry, Should we worry about that other 80 year old gay icon Cher?
80, actor, singer …
I’m gonna say Hayden Panettiere was #1 (actor, singer) – Dolly & Tim complete the rule-of-three.
You missed Jaye P. Morgan of Gong Show panel fame.
Jaye P. Morgan sounds like an old drag queen.
For better or for worse, this is what came to mind when Ted’S. mentioned her name.
JFC she is also 80?!
“How to Lose a Guy in 23 Years” is in the works, apparently. Perhaps, frustrated with her boring marriage with Mr. Alright Alright Alright, she goes off to be swooned by Count Exceptional. Bonus points if she has to murder their kids first to unlock their trust. Matt’s gotta take the blame because he tricked her with organic yogurt, which really wasn’t as ECO friendly as their packaging suggested.
while also shifting permanently outward by about half a millimeter to a millimeter per year.
A millimeter, for those of you keeping score at home, is slightly less than .040″.
We actually got 0.01 inches of rain today. How does anyone seriously measure that?
When it rains just enough that you can’t mow.
Big measurement if you’re rebuilding an engine.
I did see two drops land on my windshield today. That must have been the 0.01 inch.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse
That’s a horse of a different color.
Zir is my trans, Muslim theyby.
Just happened to think of another Tim Curry role, albeit a supporting one (and certainly not one of his most memorable): Hunt for Red October. Again, not a standout role for his career. I just really like Hunt for Red October.
I loved his turn on Roseanne.
Oh, yeah! I’d forgotten about that! That was rather late in the show’s run, wasn’t it?
Mid-late?
Nancy was into him, and delivered one of my favorite lines. Something like, “Keep the accent. It’s working for you.”
He also was an accomplished musician with a few hits.

He was Cardinal Richilieu in the good Three Musketeers movie.
Oooh, good call! Not a ‘good’ movie, by any stretch. But damn. So much fun! Fond childhood memories. Charlie Sheen as, himself in costume.
First Sam Neill, now Tim Curry. I think it was the radiation from the reactor leak on Red October wot finished them off.
All I’m sayin’ is that Stellan Skarsgård better take care of himself.
I want this even though I have no dry place to park it out of the weather and I have no doubt I’m too large to drive it.

Model A with a rumble seat. Gotta love it. We had one similar but a previous owner had turned the trunk area into a pick up box. I bought it (with my dad’s money) from a friend. Model A coupe and 10 chickens, $35. drove it a lot but can’t remember what happened to it. Probably my brother wrecked it, he was not into taking care of cars so much.
Reminds me of the 3rd Doctor. I love the color.
It’s cute.
And man have prices on restored prewar cars come down.
Boomers are dying off.
Everyone else wants comfort.
Heck I’d have to stretch it 8-12” just to be able to drive it.
A friend has a Hupmobile sedan 4 door. He did a pretty good restoration but no buyer interest. He just gave a ’79 Ranchero away to one of his kids. He had it parked along the highway for 2 months. No interest. A restored Ford tractor, no interest.
The acreage I have on the market has had no interest, after 3-4 months, reduced the price, still no interest. My guess is that people are concerned with the Iranian fiasco and not willing to make financial decisions at this point.
The Hupmonile is cooler than a Model a.
I made meatloaf.
Yum!
One of my faves.
Mmmm hmmm
I wanted to make a joke off of some Meatloaf song, but those that sprang to mind didn’t lend themselves to workable wordplay.
How did it turn out?
Fabulous, as per usual. The secret is the Worcestershire sauce.
Paradise by the oven light?
Fantastic.
I thought that’s what you wouldn’t do for love.
While eating it with the family keep chanting “His name was Robert Paulson. His name was Robert Paulson”.
