Chad Kroeger warned us from the start he isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. Nickelback’s signature hit begins with the high school drop-out admitting to not being a wise man and — while Eddie Vedder may have thoughts on him not cutting it as a poor man stealing — it should come as no great surprise these hard-partying bubblegrunge doofuses from rural Alberta lean to the right.

Canadian flags across the country will be at half-mast tomorrow for the annual National Day of Mourning honoring workers who were killed or severely injured on the job. People generally don’t take much notice unless there’s a personal tragedy involved but it may have added oomph this year for sitting Conservatives if polls predicting their culling prove correct.

Golden State Gov. Gavin Newsom — a Democrat currently embussening sexual minorities, calling the street kidnappings by ICE thugs “a distraction,” and literally palling around with Steve Bannon — has a new ad out called “California Love” urging spooked Canadians to come spend some money again.
