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."

Hmmm...I was expecting a 'countdown rumble' as Kate and SDA hit 30 million tonight. I'll be sleeping, so I'll miss the excitement.
Congrats Kate and friends!
Strange happenings at fast food restaurants!
Fine, EBD, be that way.

Aboriginals are not 'Native Canadians' and people should be corrected when they use the term. Aboriginals hate Canadians - although they don't mind being supplicants.
Re: Video--street fighters.
Poor boys--society has wronged them!
I think the real reason that Theresa Spence, AKA Porkahontus, is continuing her "hunger strike" is that she hasn't reached her goal weight yet.
law enforcers in two American states are using crime-prediction software to predict which freed prisoners are most likely to commit murder, and supervising them accordingly.
Instead of relying on parole officers to decide how much supervision inmates will need on the outside by looking at their records, the new system uses a computer algorithm to decide for them.

It is over 30 million.Well done Kate.
Anyways the "warriors" blocked a bridge in Calgary today and got away with it. Which means they will likely do it again.
Our cops say,"law enforcement is trying to strike a balance between the rights of the protesters and the freedom of Calgarians to use the bridge."
That doesn't make any sense,but the protester's statement " the blockade will continue until they meet a Treaty 7 chief or Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi",makes even less.

For a change of pace,here's part one of "Brocket 99",there's some coarse language and it is not for the easily offended. Part 2 is right there also.

It's like petulant children stomping their feet and holding their breath to make you do what they want, or trolls on an internet forum. Ignore them and they will go away. They want a confrontation with someone or anyone if it means they get more media attention. Ignore them and they will fade away just like 'occupy' did last year.
Kate and company, congratulations on reaching the 30 million mark.
This past week Thief Spence signed her Last Will and Testament. It has now been announced that she has signed a Do Not Resuscitate order. When will this comedy end?
Next up, Chief Gimme Gimme Chucklehead will go to the UN to demand more stuff.

"'The end is nigh for China's Communist system'"
" Harry Wu has spent a lifetime fighting for human rights in China. He talks with Deutsche Welle about his struggle, the country's rights situation and also about Chinese politics.
Deutsche Welle: You were locked up in laogais (prison camps) for 19 years and have since become a prominent activist who has held political talks with a number of countries. Do you think that your involvement has brought about any change?
Harry Wu: Well, fundamental change will happen later when the Communist regime ends. Then the laogai system will also end. But I really made the Chinese authorities nervous when I talked to a reporter in 1993 and I said I want to see the word laogai become a common word in every dictionary in every language. Right away, the Chinese deleted the so-called "Laogai Affairs Department" as an office name. They said "well, that was good for us in our fight for international human rights."
But China has retained the laogai system. China still forces prisoners to undergo "reform through labor," which means brainwashing through labor. Not only political dissidents, but everyone, including criminals, are subjected to forced labor and to brainwashing to become a "new socialist person," to uphold communism. And that is basic situation today in China."

Hey, where's the latest installment in the series of how public transit is THE DEVIL INCARNATE? I need a good laugh.
It would be extra awesome if each installment also mentioned how many people in this country died in car accidents since the last installment ran.
With a comparison of passenger-miles for each mode as well, glorp? Or might that not give the desired result?
Evidently not enough.

Things that make you cynical. An 85 year old woman in England leaves 100,000 pounds to her local animal shelter,with the "hope that they will look after" her 8 year old golden retriever.
They take the money,and the very next day, execute the animal.
Aaron Swartz
Committed suicide on Jan. 11th ..... apparently depression. Much is being said about "unjust" prosecution of the 26 year old.
Under current laws in Canada he would have gone to jail.
Breaking into pay for use systems and publishing the data seems like theft to me.
Citoyen MulcairBloc News.
What is? "hunger strike"/"liquid-only diet"/"Ikea monkey".

Yes please, let's see those figures for automobiles if you've got them.
The TTC carries 2.59 million passengers per day and generally, entire years pass between passenger fatalities.
Meanwhile, hardly a day goes by where there isn't a fatal MVA in the GTA. Here's a rundown of the fatal MVAs around Toronto from just this past weekend:

So, yeah, let's hear one more time about how awful and dangerous public transportation is. Heh heh heh.
She'd have been better leaving the 100,000 quid to a person with the proviso that they take care of her 8-year-old dog.
If I'd been her neighbour, I'd have happily accepted the 100,000 quid and her dog. I would have taken exquisite care of the dog -- and me!
Yeah, I have seen to it that the dog did LOTS of travelling.....

"California cold snap expected to be worst in years"
"SAN DIEGO—California was going from cold to colder Friday as a chill expected to bring the biggest mercury dips in years descended on much of the state.
The Grapevine section of Interstate 5, the key artery linking southern and northern California, was shut down Thursday night. The area was blanketed with heavy snowfall that showed no immediate signs of stopping, leaving truckers and would-be travellers stranded."

"Beijing Shrouded in Dangerous Smog"
"Pollution from vehicles and burning of soft coal has accumulated in calm, cold air trapped beneath a shallow "temperature inversion".
Breaking of the inversion will require a cooling of the air above it, bolstered by a rise in wind speed."

The corpse that calls itself Craig gave it's opinion of Chief Spence on CTV's QP today. It says that she has lots of nuance,deeply cares about her people,and she has the "moral stature to break this impasse".
The senility starts at about the 8:45 mark.
