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."

good ol’ fort. grew up two towns over and spent a lot of time there. unfortunately i probably know those shot or those that did the shooting.
Guess they didn’t have any developers to beat on.

Noticed 8 of the 9 semi-moderated comments at the mop & pail where leftoids,one going so far as to blame the federal flatfeet. Glad to see they are keeping their high standards.
Phantom…wait for it!
Dead gopher tracks at the sop and wail!

Down East it’s black gangs. In Calgary it’s Asian gangs. Here in Sask it’s native gangs. What is wrong with this picture? A big thankyou goes out to the USA for great influence. Afterall it’s the greatest country in the world that everyone hates. Ask an American they’ll tell you so. We here in Canada were known as having a standard of living that was the envy of the world. We’re working on being hated like the USA. We have to try harder.
So this is the fault of the USA? I hardly think so. BTW, I love america. It’s a great country, with great people, hey, just like Canada.
Marginalized, margin-alized, margin, margarine. Just rolling this one around abit. Trying to figure out what it means. Twenty five years ago it meant I got rapped on the knuckels for making a note in the “marginalized” portion of my hilroy. I suspect over time it has taken on a Pierre Trudeau like, ledgendary importance in Canada. I guess creeps and bums just can’t roll off the tongue like Margin-alized.
I suppose a leftard would blame “usabushmchitlercheneyhaliburton” if he peed his pants without his depends on. For crying out loud, is it not time that the idiots perpetuating the violence were made to take responsibility? Jail the motherf#$%ers for life without parole. That would send a message loud and clear to all thug punk criminals!
Last years Canada’s violent crime rate was 951 per hundred thousand.
Violent crime rate in the USA was 465.5 per hundred thousand. Less than half of Canada’s rate.

Simple a88hole. It’s clowns like you who don’t demand justice that let this crap happen,from the Immigation(free pass) system down to the leftard appointewd dipper judges. Hope you are enjoying your Turdopian country. I hear Papa Fidel is looking for some more useful idiots like you.
ol hoss, Great find. Thank you. While it may not be news to those who frequent this excellent site, I’d venture that most canucks, and most yanks, are blissfully unaware. Why isn’t the fact that Canada’s violent crime rate is MORE THAN TWICE that of the USA not the headline of every newspaper in the country?
Just askin’
It’s not crime …it’s cultural expression.
Where’s John Wayne when you need him?
WL I agree with you.
good ole Canaduh. the only industrialized nation in the world where the rural crime rate is higher than the urban crime rate. where the highest murder rates are in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
why you ask?
because that is where the reserves are counted.
And natives are disproportionately represented in prison populations because…….. 😉
WL, “natives are disproportionately represented in prison populations because…” its an expression of our culture to lock them up for no reason. 😉
Why are they in jail?? Maybe because they break the laws. This in from BC:
The Canadian Press Kamloops Five members of a native band who claimed they had an aboriginal right to fish have been found guilty of illegal fishing. Provincial Court Judge Bill Blair has ruled the group didn’t have an aboriginal right to fish for sockeye salmon along the Fraser River near Lillooet, B.C. Florence and Barret Deneault, Dorothy Grant, Adeline Willard and Kristopher Young were charged under the Fisheries Act when they were caught in 2001 fishing without a licence. Their lawyer argued in court that they had the right to fish because they are members of the High Bar First Nation and were fishing within the band’s territorial boundary.
ok4ua – does anyone ever understand what you’re saying? I was having a more intelligent conversation at the precise moment you were posting with a woman whose husband has Alzheimer’s – and she was rambling unintelligibly.
How does this constant bemoaning the natives and immigrants help the country? Words, words, words.
And, of course, make sure to drag in the U.S. at every opportunity.
Hate to think how Canadians would be judged by the constant griping that goes on. It was always the English who were known as ‘whingers’. Now we’ve descended to a country of whingers also.
It’s not the natives and immigrants grinding us down. It’s our pathetic attitude.
Let me see, what can I bitch about today?
Blame Bush is the mantra of the Left. They’re blaming for stuff that happened before he was born.
Speaking of Bush, anyone get a load of this week’s edition of Macleans? The cover is despicable.
LizJ,The cover of this weeks Maclean’s is embarrassing. Sometimes I am not so proud to be a canadian. Could you imagine the uproar from the howling class if Time put a pic of Dion in a tutu or something as appropriate. Last week maclean’s cover story dumped on Mulroney,the week before it was Bush again.I am thinking next week it will be Harper’s turn.
When you have nothing to offer yourself, other than criticism, and your voting clientele have been raised on victimism – then blame is all that’s left
It’s true tho. Whatever rotten things are wrong with Canada we can thank the good ole US of A.
Oct 7, 1971, then solicitor general Jean Paul Goyer announced in the house of commons the govts. intention to stress criminal rehabilitation even tho it posed a risk to the public. He said ” consequently we have decided from now on to stress the rehabituation of criminals rather than the protection of society”
No MP’s have subsequently questioned or changed this philosophy and the voter has not asked his MP to change it. So it is the citizens fault.
Neil,I bet nobody could guess who was prime minister.
ok4ua – one thing that’s not wrong in Canada is that the churches can still put on a good turkey dinner with homemade pie. Just had my first of the fall.
Happy Thanksgiving Day, ok4ua.
Oooops – sorry. I think that’s primarily a US holiday.
Ol Hoss:
Do you even look at the information you’re posting?
The stats cited in your post are from 2006 (Canada) and 2004 (US), so we’re not even comparing the same years. Secondly, we have no means to compare what acts are designated violent crimes in each country — it’s possible one includes crimes the other does not.
But more telling are the actual numbers behind the per capita comparison: a total of 310,307 incidents in Canada, and 1.4 MILLION in the US.
This is why it’s not on the front page of every newspaper: Canada has less than 25% of the violent crime the US has. Per capita statistics are rarely very useful, and never in situations like this.
The murder rate in the US is 26 times Canada’s. Now why isn’t that on the cover of every newspaper?
Well Brad, its interesting you should bring this up. The overall rates of crime are completely meaning free. As in they mean nothing.
Crime is a -local- phenomenon. Violent crime in the USA is overwhelmingly urban, and even within an urban community will be geographically isolated. Like, to a 20 block area. Check out a crime/location plot of NYC some day, it’ll shock you how small these areas are.
Rural areas (meaning 99.995% of the land mass of the USA are virtually crime free. You can’t do an annual per capita murder rate on them because the rate is less than one per 100,000/year. You have to go to a ten year, most places.
Here in Canada we have much the same situation, except for out West where its backwards. Lowest density populations having the highest violent crime rates. You plot all that on a map and you find all the crime is centered on…
G’head Brad, take a wild guess.

The only good thing the USA has is great music.
Yep, no gang influence from Europe, Japan, Russia, etc. Its ALL the USA. There have been gangs (tribes?) as long as we could communicate. There will always be weak, lazy people who need to belong to something to give them social status. This way the don’t have to try create there own identity, it’s created for them. Sad, pathetic, and very lazy.
It’s never mentioned that in Canada, it’s unlikely you’ll be charged with “murder” unless you’ve written a 5 page letter to the editor in advance outlining your plans, means, and motives.
And even then, you’ll be likely plea-bargained down to aggravated assault if you can convince a judge your actions were the consequence of systemic societal discrimination.
The American system forces people to be crooked.
