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."

So the grand experiment has failed. Whatever next, common sense and living within your means? Say it ain't so!
Sorry! what else do you need to hear?
Chust as ve had expected.
Lafontaine, writing on the website of Germany's Left Party.
And the Left Party running France has not followed the marching orders of the enterprise between France and Germany to control Europe.
This could prove very entertaining ... the US should stand back, wait for the 2014 mid-term elections to rid America of its neo-communists and let Europe figure it out for themselves this time.
We all have to grow up at some point.
Shame that sanctimonious parasite would not listen to the critics who told him, the common monetary unit was delusional, and avoided 15 years of waste, fraud and economic destruction.
Every day drygoods, medicine and ammo look like necessary investments.
Hopefully, when europe implodes into violence, this time we will be able to watch in full technocolour and stay home.
No need to apologize -- no harm done.
The Euro experiment failed. That was a given. Now when will someone do something about that pesky European Union?
The cleverest thing, sort of, that Britain ever did -- well, not really, but it does rank up there with Lord Gort's counterattack that saved the evacuation from Dunkirk, which is why we get to talk about stuff today -- was to refuse the Financial Transaction Tax (Mr. Cameron). Wars, according to Churchill, are not won by evacuations, although you would never know that from the MSM treatment of Benghazi, Afghanistan, Iraq, Cairo (the Speech), Vietnam, etc. By contrast, considering the amount of heat Mr. Cameron had to bear and wear from the usual suspects over his decision, you would think that he actually did something, you know, wrong.
I would say that the British rejection of the EU FTT was the turning point: it put Jason Statham-style "cranked" anger into the British people (as the scales dropped from their eyes about what "Europe" is really all about), while simultaneously depriving Germany of the revenue stream it needed to contig2nue to subsidize it's artificially below-par exchange rate (the Euro). Apparently, there is still beauty in symmetry...
Say, how about a Canada-UK Free Trade Agreement, on the same terms and conditions as are contemplated by the Canada-EU Free Trade Agreement, which obviously wouldn't and couldn't be much different from NAFTA?
...and somewhere Margaret Thatcher smiles...
And you would listen to a socialist square head who looks like Mulrony's lost brother? Oh wait....some fools did.
For those who think things are rosy because the stocks look good. A wake up call. When the central banks of Britain, the EU, USA and Japan quit printing money, the collapse will make the 1930's look like a picnic. And it will be a global collapse. Some charts that show how juicing the market makes things look good. But in the end will bring destruction and chaos. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-05-06/sp-and-without-qe
RFB...just as long as the right people are lined up against the wall when the collapse happens,all will be well.And for all the trolls and HRC types(HI Warren) hanging around,they are against the wall so that we taxpayers can pick their pockets for a change.
I was thinking the same thing, syncrodox.
I do get rather tired of saying "I told you so". It does give a certain cold satisfaction mind...
His national socialist predecessor took the cowards way out and offed himself at the end of his failure. If civil unrest turns to even greater violence, will he do the same?
For those who don't know, the "Left Party" (die Linke) is the latest paint job of the East German Socialist Unity Party. It's easy to see in retrospect how the euro was in equal measures plain and simple economic sabotage plotted by the communists with whom Lafontaine sympathized, and a means for the communists to reward the treachery of West German banks (whose loans propped up the GDR and the Berlin Wall for a good 20 years) by effectively giving them dominion over all of Europe.
I doubt Thatcher is smiling. I don't doubt Walter Ulbricht and Erich Honecker are laughing at us.
It's a bit too technical for me but I'm ploughing through it:
Insider Bernard Connolly's "Rotten Heart of Europe".
The whole criminal project is explained from the beginning.
He frequently uses the initials NSU = New Soviet Union.
No exaggeration!
No cost in human misery is too high!
The power of the media to mold public thought is demonstrated every day. William Randolf Hearst understood that better than anybody. The politicians are into it as a prerequisite of office. RFB: I do not expect those responsible to be held accountable. The Dems are already lining up those 'rich businessmen' who do not pay their fair share to take the fall. It is an explanation that is easy to grasp and when you are having trouble getting by it makes so much sense.
To many egos on the line to stop the madness now.
No matter if the World falls.
Its the bureaucratic way.
Can only mean one thing: this piece of socialist dog-crap is afraid of losing his shirt if things continue.
Too bad it isn't his head that's in jeopardy.
Yes, I agree. It was flawed thinking to believe that such a 'union' could be maintained based solely on fiscal policy, while completely ignoring cultural and historical differences. It’s difficult enough to justify sending money(no strings) yearly to Quebec; never mind between countries that were at war just last century.
