Yep - give it 25 years. Canadians tolerate diversity because we don't have any.

It's ridiculous for Canadians to claim to be tolerant of something we don't have nor ever had.  ::)

Turdeau is a soft, weak and immensely mentally ill cuckboi.

Unbearably pathetic.

How he fathered children I'll never know.

Canada's Great Destroyer.

SF, dont you know who Fortress is? Very well known in the iron game circles.
(MuscleMag, Iron Radio, Powerlifting).

A good man, a powerful man...

Great post.  All accurate.

I called Robert Kennedy once to talk about writing for Musclemag - this was in 2005, on the basis of the bodybuilding website I ran - and I honestly think I had a chance of getting on board.  As it stood, I felt Musclemag was out of my league and I did not pursue it.  It was Dennis B. Weiss who gave Kennedy my reference, yet I still felt it was out of my league.

Sad that a man such as him died somewhat young, at 74.  He attributed it to being out in the sun so often, as a fair-skinned person.  He was Ginger, much like my little girl, who recently turned one month old.  I work about her, as I too burn in the sun.  It's strange to me, as I would think being half-Italian would help matters.  But no.

Matt are you familiar with the average life expectancy?

74 isn't exactly somewhat young unless you're 105.

RIP Bob Kennedy

RIP.  It just seems too young for a healthy guy. I remember how much I would enjoy reading his articles about eating and living healthy.  I recall him having a penchant for bison burgers.  I have never tried one.

Somehow I suspect you are in your twenties.  ;D

I only say that because I remember what it was like being 20 and thinking there was a chance that I was only 1/5 done my life.  Now at 35 and thinking about relatively healthy people like Bob Kennedy who passed away in his early seventies, it makes me realize I am potentially 1/2 done my life - maybe more.

With my current quality of life, I would like to live for a long time.  Even being able to compete in my city's strongest  man contest in the 231-lb class weighing 171-lb is something that makes me feel blessed.  Far more important than the contest is having three beautiful and loving children, including a one-month-old baby girl.  I'm very lucky.

My quality of life is just really, really good, and I wish I could live for a long time.  Yeah, 74 somehow does seem young to me.  To think that a healthy guy like Robert Kennedy lived the same lifespan as porn/sleaze merchant Anthony Spinelli - he was Jewish, but changed his name to sound Italian.  ;D

PS - John McCain's mother Robert McCain IS 105!

Fortress could probably speak with a little more expertise on this, but I was fascinated by the following Wikipedia blurb which states that MuscleMag did not generate a profit until essentially 1989:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kennedy_(publisher)#Career

MuscleMag helped launch MuscleTech, and really shined the spotlight on Greg Kovacs as he came up as a Hungarian-Canadian super-freak, touted as being over 400-lb in the off-season.

I love reading the stories of Fortress about Paul Gardiner taking the "After" pictures first, followed by the "Before" pictures - after consuming Wendy's for months and purposely sticking his stomach out in photos.  ;D

What can you say?  That gorilla style of advertising worked wonders for MuscleTech which did, what, $250 million in sales as its peak?

Congrats on the new baby

Thank you!!!  It's been a joy so far.  However, as usual, I worry about crushing her by accident.  ;D

I feel like a father's role doesn't really come until a few month's in.

Do your family a huge favor , move the fuck out of Canada C16  ::)

Glad to see you have been following Canada's recent insane new Social Justice laws, ND!

People NEED to start talking about this.  Provisions messing with freedom of speech are things we ALL need to take seriously - including the leftists who allegedly want them.

It was nice to see that post from you, raising awareness about this ridiculous law, ND.  Someone has to do it, regardless of the social stigma that goes with it.
