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."

The police must hate that last story. I'm surprised the home owner is not behind bars'
When it comes to citizens using guns to defend their homes, the Crown Prosecutors become Crown Persecutors. Persecution seems to be the order of the day. That the person that defends their home should be punished. I think there's a rising groundswell that is going to wash that idea out of Canada for good.
I fail to see the "insanity" here. These were five rational acts by five rational people, doing their best to preserve the safety of their loved ones. Bad choice of word usage by Sun Media. Proof, I suppose, that people go to J-school because English Lit is too hard.
It makes me proud to be a Canadian when I see these stories. I only hope I would react similarly if put in the same circumstances.
It makes me believe that Canada is growing bigger ones since the best Prime Minister Canada has ever had was elected. He is bringing a sense of rugged individualism to our nation that was being eliminated by the Liberals for much too long.
And yes, I do mean Stephen Harper.
That's right, I said it!
Typical heros are ordinary people who do extraordinary things. I've yet to see any of our modern day heros appear in a super-hero costume unless you consider the uniforms of soldiers, police and firefighters as super-hero costumes. Hey - maybe they are!
That was so good to read,after the media's focus the last few weeks!
"Bear" wrote a post about our choice of heroes today, hope he reads this post,should cheer him up!
peterj.3:43 pm (1st comment) is right.
The police hate it when some ordinary, homeowner Joe doesn't cower in fear and wait to be rescued (after a minor 15 minute response time and a further 20 minute on-scene risk assessment) by the big, brave hero cops.
Don't these people know that courage can only be leglly exhibited by specially approved government employees? C'mon people! Get with the program!
"5 insane acts of heroism by everyday Canadian citizens."
#6 - I actually saw a store clerk "white male" no less, tell a visible minority "NO" the other day.
Yup. Betcha there's no medal for Mr. Vrga.

“I'm surprised the home owner is not behind bars'”
Ibrahim Abukar brought his own unregistered illegal firearm to his execution. Otherwise if it was a legal homeowners gun things would have been different to be sure.
“...Abukar, 22, was fatally shot at about 12:30 a.m. during a struggle with Vrga, 33, who confronted Abukar and his two accomplices.
Two police sources say it appears Vrga, a large man at 6-foot-4 and weighing more than 200 pounds, wrestled the gun away from Abukar and, in the struggle, the younger man was killed with his own gun”
I am however surprised that the CHRC didn’t string him up for defending his family against a Black Muslim, so there must be more to the story than they are letting on.

We sure could use a little good news today.
What about the courageous, fish broth hunger strike by a native chief, protesting her poor treatment by the government, after her admin was being investigated for missing millions?
Oh wait......
The homeowner is only allowed to use reasonable force, we are always told. That is fine for police, who are usually not alone, or they have STRONG backup coming. Notice ....STRONG backup.
The homeowner doesn't have that luxury.
The fact is IF HE GOES DOWN, THERE IS NO BACKUP, PERIOD.
Who protects his family then? No one.
So he HAS to win.
Reasonable force, my ass.
Yeah!
And what about OPP Chief Julian 'Shaking Rabbit' Fantino putting those Caledonia Criminals in their place, eh?
I mean, deserves a medal right?
Shaking Rabbit was afraid of starting another Indian War that would be unwinnable without slaughtering in a politically incorrect fashion, scores of Indians. Rail and highway blockades by a guerrilla band that was accompanied by destruction of the power grid, all the while having to play by "make nice" rules is no confrontation that any sane person relishes.
"..Rail and highway blockades by a guerrilla band that was accompanied by destruction of the power grid, all the while having to play by "make nice" rules is no confrontation that any sane person relishes."
The issue isn't about whether the job id 'relished', but rather, whether it is done.
Churchill, Eisenhower and Montgomery didn't 'relish' D-day.
Exactly. You don't have to enjoy it, you just have to do it. Or, as the motto of the SAS proclaims, "Who Dares, Wins".
How many "daring" politicians are there, nowadays? Maobama? Harry Reid? Shiny Pony-Boy? Ugh.

I'm, certain that the cowardly police don't dare upset the natives for fear of native activists sabotaging things like rail lines and power grids.
What they forget is that these acts of sabotage will likely happen anyway as native groups grow even bolder with each retreat by "the white man's cops".
I'd like to point out that indian reserves ALSO HAVE power grids, water supplies, roads, ect ect so what's good for goose.......
