Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

wow Kate you’re up early. 😉
I was wondering about the ‘connection’ also…not too much of a stretch to connect the dots.
…hate to repeat it but if a union leader like Perly had any connection to any CPC member this would have been headlines on MSM…CTV is doing a cute movie review on NewsNet….
Does the ‘man on the street’ know any of this stuff?Bloggers comment about the Liberal train wreck, but as long as MSM keeps protecting the Libs it could still safely slide in to the station.
Any one know where Peter Mansbridge is these days? Bev Oda’s office calling…
VF – You said what I was thinking…..
Sigh…..
A staunch Dion supporter out west is up on drug charges allegedly carried in a backpack.
Big money involved according to media reports.
Brown envelopes in the east, backpacks in the west.
Maybe there is a lesson for young first time voters in the next election.
“Beware of Libs with backpacks and carrying brown envelopes”
So is Chretien still advising Dion?
Dion’s support for the ‘safe injection sites’ is a blatant Vote-Buying tactic. He’s after the left vote.
So is Jack Layton – now, we have Layton with his ‘no fees at bank machines!’.
I think we are going to see a lot more of this ‘surface-vacuuming’ for votes – where Layton and Dion are trying to keep themselves in the public eye, the superficial public eye, the MSM eye that focuses primarily on local short-term public interest ‘catchy’ items.
They are, in effect, both moving into the Gossip Items. The big government will be left out, as the MSM won’t focus on that; the MSM acts, more and more, as a Gossip Rag – and that’s where we are going to see Layton and Dion trying to get voters on their side.
I wonder if Dion also supports my son getting a $7800 insulin pump and $250-$300/month supplies for the privilege of continuing to live with his Type 1 – Insulin Dependent Diabetes?
When is Dion coming out to offer these people job skills training, counselling, and alternatives to confirming a destructive lifestyle.
Thank you, Celine! I had no idea Harper was going to de-fund the injection sites. What a great idea! More reason to like the Harper government.
Maybe taxpayers should be forced to buy booze for alcoholics too. Wouldn’t Dion’s plan constitute discriminatory action against a class of people (alcoholics) who are “differently addicted”?
“But Mr. Dion does not personally know Mr. Holmes, according to Mr. Cunningham.”
Well there it is in plain libberish.
Or “Make believe” as Mark Steyn said.
.
This means that Dion personally knows millionaire coke dealer Perley Holmes. That’s why the let’s elect libs cheerleading squad had to have one of Celine’s handlers lie for him in their newspaper.
Dion is not responsible for the words of some hack, if Dion denied knowing Holmes, he could be proven a liar.
Now for all the pictures of Perley and Dion hiking together.
“Maybe taxpayers should be forced to buy booze for alcoholics too.”
Dennis
Already done Dennis.
Our far left city council in TO buys booze to keep the homeless around and the real taps flowing.
They should buy hookers for sex addicts as well.
“Economy, Social Justice, and Heroin-Addiction Sustainability!”
When is vancouver going to allow safe smoking cigarette sites and buying the cigs. I love chocolate, is there a place I can go to get free chocolates. I think the money would be better spent on medical supplies and equipment for those that need them. I do like Laytons no bank fees idea. People have no idea that they are losing up to 50.00/month from them. We sould have a 3 strikes your out law re addicts. The 3rd time said addict is carried off to the hospital should be the last. These addicts should be asked the same question I am when my grandson is having a seizure, Do you want him resusitated, Yes I say, and get the answer But you must consider his quality of life. And, I reply, when he is not having a seizure he has a great life. Difference is that we do everything in our power to prevent them, and have succeeded (from 1 every 3 months, to 4 yrs seizure free). Drug addicts make no changes to their life.

“I wonder if Dion also supports my son getting a $7800 insulin pump and $250-$300/month supplies for the privilege of continuing to live with his Type 1 – Insulin Dependent Diabetes?”
I totally agree, my wife is in the same position. What these left wing thick as plank retards don’t understand is, drug abuse is a choice. Diabetes isn’t. Is Stephanie’s universal death care system going to fund free insulin and needles.
Next up: safe injection sites in every ATM booth.
addendum to NCF TO
“Next up: safe injection sites in every ATM booth.” and subsidized daycare as well. One stop shopping. Vertical integration and all that BS.
my thoughts with your son. diabetes research continues, there is hope. Banting House is about 4 blocks from my place.
Lets not forget the 83 kilos of coke that were found on Paul Martins CSL ship. There is also the Basi drug scandal.
Drug peddlars seem to be attracted to membership in the Liberal Party of Canada.
Liberal supporter Perley Holmes brings the drugs in and then Liberal leader Stephany Dion pushes them on the streets of Vancouver.
Isn’t there a law against this?
Kate,
How in the world are you making the connection between those two linked stories? The way you are portraying it, Dion is faced with making up his mind between the two, when in reality, they really have nothing to do with each other.
How about your party making up its mind as to whether you guys are Canada’s “new” government, or simply the old Reform party dressed up real purttttty….:
http://www.thestar.com/News/article/175169
I am assuming that this won’t be posted because of Kate’s filtering.
No johnny even when you lie and bullshit we still beleive in the right to free speach. We just know your full of it.
Crime = The Liberal party of Canada.
The message remains the same.
Judging by Jonathan Ross’ post, it’s still a real sore spot. Heh.
Rascally Rabbit said “hookers”. In the newspeak practiced at the CBC etc., the proper term is “sex trade workers”. They work hard for their money, unlike the easy money made by dirty, sweaty men working in the Alberta oilsands.
dressed up real purttttty….:
Jonnie
It’s ” dressed up, reeeal puurty lak ”
I mean it’s the cliche latent homosexual, anal rapist, stump toothed US hillbilly you were goin fer eh?!
I appologize if I misread ad hominem POS swipe.
And consider JR’s souce. I made the leap and went over to read the Tranna Twinkling Red Star.( grab the gravol first) Big coverage of a lame joke about ‘government employees’ in the CPC MP’s e-mail, cuz it has a ‘racist’ slant in it.
No mention of the union boss who supports Dion being nabbed with 4 million worth of drugs…well it was only coke…
Dion on CKNW this morning, is asked by a caller why he seems to think everything wrong in Canada happened in the last year under PMSH:
– well, yes we are in the penalty box, but we can come out now
– he wants to build on great things Libs have done in the past (of course with rhetoric of “social justice”).
He also stated Harper government signed off on Afghan without consulting our allies. Is he kidding?
He was asked why the Liberal party wasn’t cancelled after Adscam like Airborne Regiment after Somalia. He was also asked why Liberals gutted the military.
Again, he gave a non-answer. Basically he argues it was a trade-off between healthcare and the military. Funny how both declined since 93 (and before too). I guess the HRDC, Adscam, entitlements to entitlements were OK too.
He was asked about his French dual citizenship. He answered he intends to keep it because it is part of who he is. No question regarding Royal comment and what that would mean if she were elected.
Basically he said nothing. I haven’t heard a firm policy, apart from dealing with “toxics.”
I didn’t hear anything that concerns me that this guy can capture the public’s imagination.
One more thing. After PMSH’s Arar announcement, Dion replied that, while he was pleased with the apology, he wants to know what Harper knew about the “change of story” (presumably RCMP Comish).
Hello, Mr Dion, the Arar scandal happened on Liberal’s watch.
Keep it coming, buddy.
I really have no idea how these neanderthal attitudes are so readily embraced within Canada’s “new” government.
In this thread:
http://www.smalldeadanimals.com/archives/005412.html#comments
Kate’s army of cave dwellers are so baffled as to why a joke calling a person of aboriginal descent “Tonto” and “Chief” might be considered inappropriate.
Where is the mystery?
Instead of just condemning what should clearly be offensive to everyone regardless of political affiliation, the only response is a tactic of attack and obfuscate.
“The joke isn’t offensive to Aboriginals…”
“The Liberals support drug smuggling…”
“An email joke is much better than the Liberals’ criminal past…”
Is that the best all of you can come up with?
When Carolyn Parrish while still a Liberal MP made disparaging comments about the “influence of the Jewish lobby,” I cried foul like many others did. It disgusted me.
Why? Because it didn’t matter that she was a Liberal MP…what did matter was that she was completely out of line. Period.
If you choose to embrace these kinds of attitudes, then that is your choice. But trying to divert attention, or lessen the impact of finding humour in such a slur, is very telling about the horrors that the Conservative party hosts within.
And don’t even get me started with the screen captures I have in my possession where Kate denigrates Aboriginal peoples…
Hmmmm the party of drug legalization supported by drug smugglers and drug money….makes sense to me.
I hate giving any business to The Red Star so let me guess without actually following JR’s link. It is a link to a Red Star news article about some goof balls from the left whingers, who worship at The Church of the Perpetually Offended.
Jonathan did you forget your meds this morning.
It’s almost like Dion wants to be rediculed. His dog’s name for instance. The last peculiar socialist that named his dog after his agenda was “blondi”. This is making it far too easy for the cartoonists. I think it may be a ploy to try and flush out da big conservative bullies and dar racist agendas no?
“And don’t even get me started with the screen captures I have in my possession where Kate denigrates Aboriginal peoples…”
Is this guy serious? Somehow he is going to bring the Conservative Party down by…saving old blog posts from Kate in Saskatchewan, who has nothing to do with politics? Hey, how do I sign up for your consulting services? What a great strategy.
John,
Mr. Mayes was commenting on the joke he didn’t write the friggin joke you puttz. By the way did you hear the one about the white guy that goes into the Dollar store………..ahh forget it.
Johnathan says:
“army of cave dwellers”
Would that be H.’australopithecus’, H.’neanderthalensis’, H. ‘Australopithecus habilis’, or ‘Kenyanthropus platyops’?
Well at least us “small dead animals” have the good sense to ‘get out of the rain’ unlike yourself.
OT but, the liberals have just cost cdn taxpayers 10.5 million dollars plus 2 million for legal fees. I still don’t believe Arar was tortured.
I hope that money is taxable, and I hope that it is taken out of equalization pymts to quebec. Were the liberals expecting to pay this money to Arar from drug sales, if they had been re-elected. I object to this payment, but Harper was forced into it. How many more messes are in the closet for him to clean up with our money. I wonder how much of that will find its way back to Syria, or the real cave dweller, OBL.
He said he found it funny, you idiot.
I stated:
“…trying to divert attention, or lessen the impact of finding humour in such a slur, is very telling about the horrors that the Conservative party hosts within.”
I never said he wrote the joke.
And Kate doesn’t have anything to do with politics?
Hmmmmmm….:
“Stephen Taylor, co-founder of The Blogging Tories, is one of the most prominent political
bloggers in Canada. He says bloggers broke several stories during the campaign…
Taylor and Kate McMillan, of the blog small dead animals, collaborated on lengthy posts trying to convince their readers that Martin had orchestrated a dust-up with the US early on in the campaign, at the United Nations Climate
Change Conference in Montreal.”
http://www.irpp.org/po/archive/mar06/bowman.pdf
Question: “Do you think you could ever be married to, or in a long-term relationship with, someone with radically different political views from your own?”
Kate’s Answer: “Probably not. My political beliefs have evolved out of my lifestyle and personality.”
http://normblog.typepad.com/normblog/2005/07/the_normblog_pr_3.html
But no, she has nothing to do with politics, eh? Hahaha
Jonathan, dude, lighten up. It was a JOKE!
Okay, how about this: let’s change one of the protagonists. Go to this link (not mine so not a gratuitous self-plug):

Kate’s army of cave dwellers are so baffled as to why a joke calling a person of aboriginal descent “Tonto” and “Chief” might be considered inappropriate.
The joke was mocking bureaucrats, Einstein, not Natives.
mary T says “I do like Laytons no bank fees idea. People have no idea that they are losing up to 50.00/month from them.” Mary…..if people are that stupid, then I don’t think they should be out in public alone.
Kate has nothing to do with politics?

Yeah, she’s very apolitical. hahaha
jonathan ross. Go see the movie ‘Borat’. Go read Mordechai Richler’s books. Hey- go see the movie ‘Maverick’. Stop being so smug and pompously self-righteous – and learn to laugh. At yourself. At others.
There’s absolutely no comparison between Parrish’s criticism of Jewish influence (the Jewish lobby) – and a JOKE!!!!
Oh – you just called everyone who posts to Kate’s blog an ‘army’. Shocking. And ‘cave-dwellers’. Shocking. Were you criticizing us – and therefore, deserving of our criticism of you? Or, were you joking – and we can laugh along with you? which is it? These are two DIFFERENT sentences and I’m sure you can see the difference.
army…ok, I did 8 yrs reg force
cave dweller….well, actually, I live in a very nice 4 level home, c/w home theatre, fireplaces, hot tub, games room, hardwood floors…u get the picture
can’t speak for the rest of the knuckle-draggers, but I happen to be an atheist, pro-choice son of an immigrant
so, please, jonathon, keep your typecasting bigotry to yourself, and stick to the facts
“And don’t even get me started with the screen captures I have in my possession where Kate denigrates Aboriginal peoples…”
This running “I have the screen capture” claim is interesting – I see it all the time on leftie blogs.
While I occasionally update or edit a post after the fact for typos/sentence construction or to add or correct information, I think I’ve only pulled two of the over 5000 made here in the past three years (one of no importance that I just decided wasn’t good enough within minutes of writing it, and the other at the request of the person I linked to and quoted because it was inaccurate).
Neither had anything to do with aboriginals.
Jonathon Ross says he has “screenshots” – but neglects to provide the links to alleged denigrating commentary.
Which brings me to challenge you, Jonathon Ross – put your money on the table. Provide the links, or retract your accusation.
Jonathan is playing the typical Liberal moral superiority card.
“When Carolyn Parrish while still a Liberal MP made disparaging comments about the “influence of the Jewish lobby,” I cried foul like many others did.”
He cried foul to whom? The TV?
Yet, did he cry foul when the Liberal bagmen stole taxpayer money? Did he cry foul over the boondoggled billions in programs such as the long gun registry? Did he cry foul when Crime Minister Chretien was caught on camera strangling a protestor? How about when Scott Reid publicly declared “Alberta can blow me?” Or when 83 Kilograms of coke were found on Paul Martin’s ship? How about Paul Martin’s tax haven? Or when Coderre marched in solidarity with Muslims supporting Hamas, a terrorist group? Or the known Liberal support and fund raising for the Tamil Tigers? Or Brison’s insider trading? Or the horrifying increase in CO2 emissions that the Liberals allowed to happen?
Moral superiority?
Right. By remaining a Liberal inspite of all the corruption, Jonathan has proven he has the moral terpitude of a snake.
I don’t think, “I have in my possession where Kate denigrates Aboriginal peoples…” compares to this punk’s criminal support and affiliation.
It amazes me that we, the electorate put supposedly mature people into office and then end up with ‘Na Na; he said…she said…you did a bad thing…let’s get rid of him’ BS.
I mean talk about grasping at thin reeds !
As was already pointed out,the guy didn’t write it or say it, he just commented on it upon receiving it in his in-box.
This then begs the question of who did write it and in what context?
And that leads to the next question as to what exactly was in said E-mail, or are we so PC correct now that the masses can’t know for fear of tainting their feeble minds.
There just isn’t enough information available to draw a coherent conclusion.
I hear silly jokes all the time ,some clever and others over the line and depending on circumstances would rarely admonish the jokester.Instead I may choose to ignore them but that is pretty much it.After all we are not supposed to be our brother’s keeper.
This whole incident borders on absurdity and is a gross waste of money and valuable time.
And also one could ask what is a disgruntled employee doing in someone’s private mailbox?
However in closing I would like to note that as the Left snipes it should be duly noted that they didn’t seem to mind when Hedy Fry slandered the good citizens of Prince George BC with her timely remarks about burning crosses.
Nor was she forced to resign.
Jonnie
Who were the last “peoples” to simultaneously possess armies and live in Canada’s caves ?
Easy there, Kate. Jonathon is simply demonstrating that the definition of “racist” is anyone winning an arguement against a Liberal.
Cocaine…..
In water-tight steel boxes…..
Welded to the hulls of ships…..
Steamships…..
Canadian Steamships…..
In our habours…..
We’re not making this up…..
This election, choose your Canada.
Hmmmm…..I wonder if that’s how the tainted blood got here from Arkansas prison system.
Kate,
In answering your “challenge,” I doubt that you will have the guts to post this, considering that you have filtered and eliminated my last two comments (which were not rude, nor used any profanity).
However, here is a post with the links that answer your challange:
http://www.tdhstrategies.com/2007/01/challenge-from-small-dead-animals.html
I figure that you will accuse me of trying to pilfer traffic, even though I put it up so that my proof wouldn’t have to face your screening and subsequent deletion.
