This week on Off the Record, Vancouver’s Park Board apologized to trans activists but proceeded anyway with a Harry Potter-themed attraction in Stanley Park.
There are only two gametes, sperm (male) and egg (female), which are immutable; they cannot be changed. Take a few lessons in biology to help widen your knowledge of your minimal thinking. Without the 2 gametes, there would be no civilization as we know it today. Instead, the Earth would be inhabited by plants and insects. That might be a good thing; at least we wouldn't need to deal with people who call us all kinds of nasty names when we say there are only 2 sexes.
We are born either as a male or a female. The female is born with eggs already inside her. The male gets the sperm closer to puberty.
Without gametes, there would be no AI, no billionaires, no fancy cars, no million-dollar homes, no cruise ships for expensive holidays, no lush golf courses, and no you and I.
How wonderful not to be born and have the joy of enjoying all the worldly pleasures. How exciting never to hear the expression “gender ideology” along with being told that a boy can be a girl and a girl can be a boy.
Just imagine a world without humans and animals, how peaceful the world would be, enjoying the beauty of nature.
The plants and insects would never have it so great.
Eggs, water, air, eye balls, trees, love, etc. are tremendous inventions; or so we are led to believe. Unfortunately for the evolutionist there are designs behind the unseen. We are only starting to figure out how it works together but it’s safe to say the invisible governs the visible.
Yesterday, i.e. Friday, October 10,,, StatCan reported that the unemployment rate in Canada for September was 7.1%, unchanged from August. (Actually, if you go to the second decimal place it was 7.03%, up from 6.95% in August. Looking at the second decimal place, the unemployment rate has increased steadily in every month from March 2025 forward, i.e. the months in which Mark Carney has been our PM. As Pierre Poilievre has noted Carney said during the election campaign that Carney had bragged about giving us the strongest economy in the G7, but he so far he has only given us the G7’s second highest unemployment rate. This was reconfirmed yesterday. France has the G7’s highest unemployment rate at 7.5% for 2025Q2.
Doug Porter of BMO Capital Markets noted that “Canadian employment rose 60,400 in September, well above expectations of a modest gain and largely reversing the ultra weakness in the prior month [when there was a 65.5 thousand drop in employment.” Doug goes on to say that “Even with the nice advance last month, the big picture is that over the past eight months—i.e., since the trade uncertainty ratcheted higher in late January—employment is up a tiny 0.1%.” Even for a glass-half-full guy there is not much comfort in that thought given that over the same period there was a 1.0% increase in the working age population. This is a combination almost guaranteed to produce a big increase in the unemployment rate, which is what we got (the January 2025 unemployment rate was only 6.6%).
Stephen Punwasi, a discerning analyst at Better Dwelling has suggested that there was overcorrection of the employment estimates for seasonality, as the raw estimates show a 46.9 thousand decline in employment from August to September 2025. This is the more likely since the biggest mover was manufacturing, victimized by the Orange Man’s tariffs, with 27,800 thousand more jobs. Doug Porter also highlighted this: “perhaps the most surprising/suspicious aspect of the report.” I am not a time series specialist, but if professional data analysts find these numbers suspicious, the time series experts at StatCan may give them a second look too. I would wager the big employment gain in September is likely to be revised down, and the September unemployment rate will show a much more substantial increase over August’s than it does now.
Do Isaac and friends find the decline of the Canadian economy a topic devoid of interest? Just asking.

How is it that 0.00001 percent of the population rules the rest?
