About Kate
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."

Yup, I visited once.........or twice.
To me, there's no reason to add a "like" button. The volume speaks for itself.
Thank you for you efforts!! I visit at least twice a day.
Mike in White Rock
Please don't make me join facebook...
The Nazi tattoo, "Not dead enough", "Avalanche", a hundred other posts on the black side of humour.
Everyone of those brought out the outraged commentators like we see in the Avalanche thread below.
This graph highlights that Kate knows more about her audience than everyone else here.
Ban sacred cows.
You blog is a must-visit for me, and has been for a long time!
I'm with the guy from Texas . Congrats Kate , well earned .
What Texas Canuck said,and add my "pleaeeeease!"
I HATE facebook and other anti-social media. But then I'm a dinosaur.
Congrats Kate. This is my favourite blog,right up there with Kinsella's and Huffpo. ;-)
@soccer mom
I visit this site problem ten times a day , and my wife really enjoys Kate's blog too usually visits twice a day !!!
Congratulations Kate! Well deserved.
Please, no Facebook - can't stand it.
Cheers Kate! and Mr. Kate :)
Yeah righty oh
Face palm
He he
Dark humour ? Nah
Just larking around
Thanks Kate
Enjoy your break
I am certain that a lot of folks I send your way Kate wish I wouldn,t. But I love tweaking the liberals I know.
Your a positive part of my day.
Thank you.

Thank you.
Kate, your full on awesome-ness shines through the storms of bullshit.
If you were a couple of years younger and a little less Married, I would be the shy guy that asks you to dance.
dwright.
"Like!"
Does that count?
two times a day at least. My first and last dite of the day.
Thanks Kate! Clearly the best place to get information on the USA election , and the messy White House.
Almost embarrassed to say how many times a day... ;)
This has been my Firefox default homepage for years. Always great discussion. Keep up the excellent work!
"Ban sacred cows."
But, Lance, sacred cows are the most delicious!
Cheers, everyone!
Happy Halloween!
Way to go Kate.

I ate a chunk of cow meat, last night.
Tasty......
I feel stronger today.
Beefy goodness.........

Congratulations, Kate! When is the IPO?
I'm a daily visitor with roots in (yikes!) Quebec; now by the grace of God I'm a Southern (almost) redneck.
Love the site. Please, no Facebook. But the hashtag #deadanimals might be fun should the need for organizing "flash vigilantes" arise.
Thank you Kate, and also to the regular commenters that add so much value to this site, an island of sanity...
Never been on Facebook and never will.
Kate, this is my first site every morning, and the last site before sleep. You have the best, most current, and vital information highway out there.
Thanks
I've never been a fan of conformity. I miss some of the people that used to post here. There used to be more diversity of thought, humor and insightful comments. There was less angry man posturing, perpetual outrage and brown nosing (NTTAWWT). Like some of the other far-right (and far-left blogs) SDA seems to be cornering the market on grouchy, humorless drones (NTTAWWT).
On the plus side, I appreciate that SDA is willing to highlight stories too often ignored by the MSM.
Congrats! Well-done, como siempre.
LC,what does NTTAWWT mean?
NTTAWWT: Not that there's anything wrong with that
Keep the headlines coming Kate. I'm like Walter. Your site first and last every day. Great way to keep up to date on the real news sans the bullshit. And where else could I go to enjoy "Bartinsky's comments" ?!
Everything I need to know is on SDA & ZeroHedge. Like most others, i visit at least twice a day.
Good job Kate! as for joining face book,NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
LC B et al,
NTTAWWT? ROFLOL! NTTAWWT.
My son tells me that I never text, will never join Facebook, and don't know how to tweet. Even Luddites slowly adopt and adapt.
NTTAWWT
Thanks kate. High regard for many of the regulars here as well as most visitors and the true diversity of opinion as well as subjects. Generally respectful even to the trolls. Great site. Find facebook a waste of time. Like many of the others I start and end my surfing day with SDA. Hey...that rhymes.
Yes, it is 'not that there's anything wrong with that'. BTW, you can go to Urban Dictionary to decode shorthand.
http://www.urbandictionary.com
Sadly, there is currently no site that deciphers grammatical errors, sloppy typing and lack of editing. My apologies in advance for those.
This is usually my first visit when I get on the internet each day. Always worth the visit.
Congrats!
Thanks Kate, no like button required.
First click in the morning and maybe a few later.
All the best.........

My daughter started an SDA fb page years ago.
Refer everyone you have contact with to SDA.
"Taste" is only called into question when something isn't good enough. Karry on Kate.
Well done. I'm a lot like Walter also.
Kate, I suspect when you first started SDA blog, you had no intention of creating a Canadian "miracle", eh?
A conservative sounding board that PM Stephen Harper I suspect visits regularly.
I personally know Conrad Black is aware of your "Small Dead Animals" blog Kate.
BY the way, my hope is that Mr. Black is granted his birthright citizenship by Harper's Administration.
I would prefer Mr. Black as a Canadian citizen as opposed to traitor Omar Khadr!
What you REALLY need to do to drive the page count is use the "auto refresh" that Drudge and most CBS sites use when the page is inactive for a period of time. That is not much of a problem with Drudge since he has no real commenting capability on his home page, and should not cause problems with yours, either, since your home page also has no such capability. It IS entertaining, though, on those CBS pages since the refresh invariably hits when one is in the middle of posting a comment...

Whatcha got against Hindus, lance? "Ban sacred cows", indeed! And yet BM calls ME a bigot for merely noting certain cultural propensities. How frequently do you see a link on Drudge, and KNOW the general appearance of the perps before even going to the site? My error rate is less than 10%. Even though, based on population totals, it really should be the OTHER way around...
3 cheers for Kate and Lance!
Without SDA I would spend all my time yelling at the TV and radio...
Proving, once again: SDA gets results! Congratulations Kate, and SDAers.
