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."

PE Trudeau’s Orwellian world is playing itself out.
Conservatives have been warning about the lack of property rights in the constitution for decades.
All it took was the right environment. Liberal judges, NDP government and a greedy municipality and now our property can be expropriated by a neighbor who has a vendetta.
Creepy.

RON PAUL WILL WIN BY A LANDSLIDE
http://www.usadaily.com/article.cfm?articleID=207908
“Analysis/Opinion-Republican presidential candidate and Texas Congressman, Ron Paul, can win the presidency. Contrary to the pundits and media propaganda, Ron Paul is best positioned to win the GOP nomination.
Ron Paul has more money than his opponents and is just starting to gain momentum. As a result of massive popular support Paul’s donor base is huge and donors are not close to reaching contribution limits. Paul’s opponents are going broke and their donors are maxed out. Ron Paul may raise 20 million this quarter and chances are he’ll raise more the next quarter.
To get an idea of how strong Paul’s support is consider this. Ron Paul received donations from over 123,000 people this quarter. If one out of 100 voters donate to a presidential candidate that means Paul has the support of over 12 million primary voters. My guess is that less than 1 out of 100 voters donate in a primary.
(…)
Recent commentaries and political talk have mentioned the possibility of a brokered convention. This is an early admission by pundits that Ron Paul can’t be stopped, and a hope that he won’t have 50% of the delegates allowing his opponents to broker a deal to deny him the nomination.
Paul is unique among GOP candidates because his support is national. He can compete in every state.””
I still sat he’s the dark horse candidate who will embarrass the professional pundity industry, and the influence pimping MSM…we await super Tuesday’s results.
I just did a quiz at
earthday net/footprint
and got this result for my carbon foot print,
15.5 (total number of hectares required for me)
and this is what they have to say about it,
IN COMPARISON, THE AVERAGE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT IN YOUR COUNTRY IS 8.8 GLOBAL HECTARES PER PERSON.
WORLDWIDE, THERE EXISTS 1.8 BIOLOGICALLY PRODUCTIVE GLOBAL HECTARES PER PERSON.
IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 8.6 PLANETS.
I think there is something wrong with their facts, it is impossible that the average Canadian has a footprint half the size of mine.
I drive less than 50 km a week, I only eat meat a couple times a week, my average sized condo apartment is heated by electricity etc etc…
Unless the average Canadian is a vegetarian, rides a bicycle ( in two feets of snow?) and lives in an Igloo …

“DEMS CONSIDER STEALTH FUNDING OD IRAQI CONFLICT
http://tinyurl.com/39ccm3
“”Dems Considering Proposals That Would Quietly Fund Iraq War
Some House Democratic leaders are considering plans to quietly fund the Iraq war while trying to minimize the political fall-out.
One of the latest proposals under discussion involves putting $30 billion in a nearly-completed omnibus spending bill that would be earmarked for the war in Afghanistan, but could freely be used for operations in Iraq.
According to Hill sources, Rep. David Obey, D-WI, who chairs the House Appropriations Committee, initially pushed the Afghanistan funding idea. Top House Democrats Steny Hoyer (D-MD) is said to support the idea, while Speaker Nancy Pelosi has argued against it. But in an interview on Thursday, she acknowledged that “there probably will be some level of [money] addressing Afghanistan” in the omnibus.””
My grandpa used to do all the surveying for expropriation in Manitoba.
He’s never heard of a case like this. Mcfadyen would be wise to step up to bat, and eliminate this type of expropriation.
That earthday footprint site seems fairly bogus. According to that logic we’ve been destroying the planet since the days of agriculture. Where do you think the global footprint will end up being heaviest? In North America where we are researching energy efficiency constantly, or in developing nations where the population exceeds a billion citizens?
Ron Paul is the white supremacist and ‘trufer’ candidate as factual evidence has proven via LGF and other sources. We had better hope that this black helicopter, moonbat pinhead doesn’t hijack the white house.
Hell, all you have to do is google his policies and global political viewpoint.
If you like the Bush mantra, “Islam is peace,” you’re gonna love Ron Paul.
Well, from the Manitoba expropriation case it is obvious, that the farmers throughout Canada should bulldoze anything historically valuable on their land before the Big Brother comes to take their land away – that’s a precedent setting case and only the beginning. The only other solution I know, but which won’t fly in polite politically correct Canada is militia.
the press as trouble makers. why some lawyers rebuttal would make news is beyond me, except as a backhand to a conservative from the liberal press.

Aaron, another case for shoot shovel and shut up.
re: the expropriation of Manitoba farm.
There was a similar case in Connecticut a year or two ago – the town used “eminent domain” to expropriate a person’s home so that they could build a hotel (IIRC) that would generate more tax revenue. This decision was supported by the US Supreme Court
As big as the holes in Trudeau’s charter are, our US friends aren’t getting any more protection from their constitution. There’s only one candidate for president who is trying to live up to his oath, and actually support the US Constitution – Ron Paul.

And, this month looks to the lowest for Iraq combat fatalities since Feb’04 (http://icasualties.org/oif/hnh.aspx) and only that and one other month – May ’03 – were lower than this one. It also should be pointed out that only four were from small arms fire and one a suicide bomber – the rest were IEDs which can hardly be considered head – to – head combat action.
“We had better hope that this black helicopter, moonbat pinhead doesn’t hijack the white house.”
Agreed. His policies are a blend of nostalgia and ignorant bliss. As for the media harming him, he harms himself with each additional bit of time and exposure. And then there are the numerous websites set up to launch spam attacks to prove how popular he is. Paul is the candidate of conspiracy buffs and the disenfranchised elements of left and right.

Re the farmland expropriation. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think it was Garry Breitkreuz who just recently tabled a private members bill seeking to put the right to own property back in the Constitution.
That Bill was voted down by the Libs, Bloc & NDP. So I dunno, Harper might make property rights an election issue. With the Opposition Parties all on record as voting against it, they have nowhere to hide.

As for the media harming him, he [Ron Paul] harms himself with each additional bit of time and exposure …
Interesting. I have a friend who I “converted” to libertarianism (?) who begged me to watch the full hour interview on Glen Beck ‘cos “he always gets interrupted … never gets a chance to fully answer the question”.
I watched and concluded that he benefited from his previously short, interuupted answers. A true nutbar, despite the many areas where I agree with him as a pragmatic libertarian.
My favourite part was when, after saying he’d shut down the IRS, he advocated not reduced income taxes, not a flat rax, but, er, no income tax. He made a lame reference to “user fees”. No clue. No plan. No one in the world will be more upset than Ron Paul himself in the highly unlikey event of his garnering the nomination. He has NO leadership or executive talent whatever!
I believe that at 72 and after 10 terms with his snout in the trough like all other congressmen (despite his schtick of adding earmarks and then voting against) he’s really intending on retiring, and is just having some fun on the way out.
He has shades of Pat Buchanan: isoloationism, antisemitism (yeah, I know, antizionism is not antisemitism).
And ZERO understanding of the single greatest challenge of our era: global jihad. Zero understanding.

Does everyone call him Iggy?
I’ve always avoided calling Deputy Liberal Party leader Michael Ignatieff “Iggy”. It seemed too familiar, and I wasn’t even sure if Michael Ignatieff liked to be called “Iggy”.
If he doesn’t like it, then it would seem childishly provocative to use that nickname.
I then read a reference to Michael Ignatieff not liking to be called “Iggy”. Fine. But then if that’s the case, why does his website use “iggy” in the substructure? …-

Russia prohibits denial of Santa
Russia’s Father Frost is similar to Western Europe’s Santa Claus. The Russian government has banned a television advertisement for denying the existence of Father Christmas. The ad for Eto electrical stores stated Father Frost, Russia’s version of Father Christmas, did not exist.
The Federal anti-Monopoly Service said the ad had broken rules for advertisers not to discredit parents and teachers. It said that declaring that Father Frost did not exist implied that parents were not telling the truth, so undermining childrens’ trust in them.
The ad “induces negative relations between children and parents”, Andrei Kashevarov, the service’s deputy director, told Rossiiskaya Gazeta. The advertiser, Eto, defended its commercial, saying it was aimed at adults.

“Politically Correct Fairy Tales!”
Hansel and Gretel
Hansel and Gretel were lost in the woods when they came upon a house made of candy and cake. An old witch invited them in and then captured both of them intending to eat them. Gretel had a chance save both of them by pushing the old woman in an oven but she decided that it would be wrong not to respect the witch’s cultural traditions. So Gretel and her brother allowed themselves to be cooked and eaten. The witch was so happy with the children’s actions that she invited all of her witch friends to the area. Soon thereafter, they ate every child in a hundred mile radius. Soon the whole area was filled with nothing but child eating witches and all the witches were very happy!
The Moral of the Story: You must respect the culture of others, even at your own expense!
