My instinct would certainly be to trust no one. And the article you linked seems to be in agreement with that.

Yes, a good explanation, thank you for posting. Especially this part is good to know: There may also be a gap between theory and practice on the disclosure of illegal income reports. In other words, the IRS may share the information with law enforcement even when it's not supposed to.

What does it matter? To be honest, I am a bit at a loss here as I myself never had any illegal income. But if I had, I am pretty sure it would have mattered to me. And I would have thought twice before reporting it as such.

You don't need to be a lawyer to know that prostitution in Canada is not legal. Q1. Is prostitution a legal activity? A1. No. https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/other-autre/c36faq/

If I ever did something like that, I would never admit to that in a public forum as it would render my not guilty plea further down the road pretty much worthless.

This makes too much sense, in my view, very suspiciously so. Big Oil is surely paying this guy Big Bucks.

And how about making an attempt -- for once -- to comment on the subject matter itself, instead of an ad hominem attack on the messenger?

What are you talking about, gentlemen? Bloomberg is someone who is known to put ice in his beer. I bet that is too much even for the good old U.S. of A . https://gothamist.com/food/ice-in-beer-who-taught-bloomberg-how-to-do-that-stuff

And then there is also Godwin's law.

As I said more than once, it must work great as a laxative. You do a fine post like that -- and feel such an immense relief, indescribable...

Have they developed a TDS vaccine yet? Don't despair, one day they will. Even if it is too late for the current crop :(

The fact that Greta accomplished anything at all should really be credited to the Zeitgeist rather than any of her identifiable talents. I wonder if she herself is surprised to discover that so many (seemingly) adult people are prepared to take her anguished bullshit seriously.

Well, I will certainly pay attention to this story and any further developments. Curiously, the same NY Times article says that a Quebec guy who manages one of the largest pension funds is in no mood to divest from Alberta. Maybe all is not lost yet?

At Oxford's men-only English language competition, with 200 males participating, the challenge was to express Peacefulness, Happiness and Calmness in a single sentence. The person who won the competition wrote.... "My wife is sleeping."

I am not sure I get the whole picture here. Isn't Alberta supposed to subsidize the more enlightened provinces like Ontario and Quebec? Aren't they basically biting the hand that feeds them?

STN, something that seems right up your alley: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/12/climate/blackrock-oil-sands-alberta-financing.html Looks like a real war between Alberta and the climate warriors (some at least). What's going on? Have they decided to make Alberta their sacrificial lamb...

And again, how do you manage to keep track of all that stuff? The ignore list lets some of those through? In any case, thank you as always for yet another valuable contribution to the discussion here. I for one am honored to participate in the same forum as you, Herr Professor. I think...

I think we can expect a serious competition for the subject matter of the next impeachment. It is imperative that things are done in an honest transparent manner. For starters, I suppose, someone needs to get the bidding process going.

Is there any chance I could stay on your ignore list permanently? It would really help to reduce the clutter on this board, as some of us have already found with your best buddy. Thanks a bunch in advance!

I think that (the second half) is an understatement. And then, of course, you are making a really good point in that Trump keeps confusing his various opponents who have no clue whatsoever how to figure him out. That seems to be his conscious strategy. Take Iran, for example. Everyone was so...
