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."

These are the same scum who used to magically appear at Reform Party conventions back in the 90's. The media would get advance notice, the bus would pull up at an arranged time, the freak show would disembark, the cameras would roll, 5 minutes later the freak show was back on the bus and the 6 o clock news had its lead story.
Parasites. Warbles, to be exact. I used to like popping them out and stepping on them.
We must realize that these fringe movements (if taken seriously by media) legitimizes and condones ignorance - as well it institutionalizes stupidity and stupid discourse in the public narrative and by extension public policy making.
We all know these morons are dupes or paid lackeys for foreign oil interests who profit on the price increases anti free market protesters espouse. But the true danger is having media/courts/parliament accommodate ignorance and stupidity - essentially catering to the lowest common denominator.
A sad use of the freedom of expression, but love or hate the yowling of morons, we have to protect their right to make fools of themselves with stupid/ignorant banter - we just don't have to give ignorant/stupid opinion any credibility - that is the danger in MSM propagating the vacant musings of these chumps as credible.
Occam nails it !!!
Ezra made them look like the fools they really are.
Sun news again exposes the stupidity of these scum...and where is the cbc?
awol again. course they go along with this kind of stuff...stupid zuki etc.
to think our legislators give these morons five minutes is beyond belief.
no wonder our taxes are though the roof.
is the oil not flowing in that pipe now?
So what's the difference if it goes the other direction?
seems pretty simple to me, forget these paid pimps, just get it done and stop wasting our tax dollars.
Ezra deserves out thanks.
These people are lackeys of foreign oil interests, who fear Canadian competition.
Its a Tax free ride by OPEC, china, the USA to at the least slow down industry in Canada or at its best stop any production in this Nation.
The irony of course is they whore for the very industry, these folks clim to dispise..Only its our own Society they are destroying at the behest of those they pretend loath.
Luddite for lucre. Is their true cause.
It has always been obvious that many of these protesters are "professional" though professional is not how I would describe them. Professionals are prepared for their tasks. They were not.
Question #1 -- how many are on welfare -- thus doubledipping?
Question #2 -- would Bill C-377 exposed payments to such individuals from Unions?
Ezra Levant's program was excellent for its outing of the lack-of-intelect of these protesters -- keep on thinking of the "useful idiots" line from Lenin.
It also reminded me of an incident 25 or so years ago with some Green Peace activists/employees.
I had come over to meet a colleague from grad school before we went out to see some blues bands -- she was sharing a house with a bunch of greenpeace activists/employees. As she was getting ready shared some conversation with the greenpeace types. They got extremely excited when they found out I had done some graduate work in hydrogen fuel cells. It seems that many of them had heard of a Dr. David Scott who was a proponent of hydrogen fuel cells and who had sparked my interest in the field and was pushing the "hydrogen economy".
Anyways they were so excited and enthralled with hydrogen fuel cells. Being aware of Greenpeace's campaign of being anti-nuclear I was taken aback. I told them that the Hydrogen economy as proposed by Dr. Scott actually encourages the use of nuclear power and that in off-hours nuclear power plants would produce hydrogen. They were shocked by this and dead set against this.
So I said well there are 5 coal generating plants in Ontario that could also do this job -- they were dead set against it because of "acid rain" though by that time filters in these plants filtered out sulphur based byproducts (cause of acid rain).
Well their next jump was to hydro-electric power -- great -- except requires the flooding of major river valleys and dams are well known as being collection points of heavy metals such as mercury. Oh my they were against that -- Minamata desease et al.
Well of course they pointed out that wind turbines was ecologically better. I pointed out that they are great bird whackers. Since then statistics have pointed out that wind farms whack 10,000+ birds per year. Southern Alberta has shown that stat to be true, way more than the 400 ducks in the tailing ponds of Ft McMurray. They were dead set against that.
Anyways the last resort to those energy ignorant individuals, is that solar cells was the way. Basically pointed that solar cells based on silicon required selenium to manufacture which is also the most toxic substance in the world. So where should they dump the selenium? Needless to say, I pointed out to meet the power requirements of Ontario they would have to chop down most of the forest in ontario to replace it with solar panels to meet the energy requirements of ontario -- so what happens at night -- you need lead-acid batteries to hold the charge -- oh my another toxic substance in the landfill when it dies.
They were freaked and could not understand that energy was a requirement and no matter what there was a cost. Of course to them all were unacceptable.
I pointed to their pretty power sound system and said -- how do you plan to power that? You enjoy a nice cold one on a hot summer day -- how do you plan on keeping that cold?
It was like shooting fish in a barrel.
I was actually surprised that employees of Greenpeace were so ignorant of energy generation techniques and the foot print they give -- you like it or not, civilization leaves a footprint and requires energy.
Funniest part of this story, if global warming is real, Nuclear energy is the best alternative to minimize CO2 production :)
Even fulltime Greenpeace activists were not the brightest lights on the block.
That is a fact!!!
BTW I forgot,
hydrogen is a greehouse gas and also destroys the ozone layer.
Oh my.
Yet another round of intrepid reporting by Mr. Ezra Levant. Bygeorge, I second that motion to thank Ezra.
Most of us do not know the background of these 'protesters' and we don't know the real reasons for their 'protests'; therefore, as Occam says, they do get some credibility from people who do know something about the Big Oil companies and have just concerns about the activities of some of these companies. Farmers and ranchers do have concerns but are never asked about their legitimate concerns - instead the msm focus on freaks in the streets who do not care at all about legitimate concerns; the fools in the street are just hate freaks or 'paid' protest professionals. By exposing the hypocrisy of the scruffs and the obnoxious frauds (as Ezra has done here), who pose as people who wish to see transparency from some oil companies (livestock producers and farmers do have honest concerns), the real people with legitimate concerns will not be tempted to back the frauds so that they, too (farmers and ranchers) can be heard.
The genius of putting the trash in the streets is that Agendah two one cult(which the patsies support via default or via compulsive, ignorant, fanatical brainwashing) could be given a two for one win. The farmers and ranchers will not be heard - they would never add their rational voices to those of this murder of crows squawking in the streets - and the Oil Companies will be forced to defend themselves against liars and fraudsters instead of turning their attention to stakeholders who really matter (farmers and ranchers)and to increasing the viability of producing and selling ethical oil to make Canadians and Canada less prone to bankruptcy and civil unrest. The goal of Aghendah two one is to depopulate all rural areas and coop all citizens in wee cells in cities; once there, the helpless citizens will be forced to pay atrocious prices for heat and food (state produced and owned oil (via bankrupting private companies) and food (bankrupting farmers and ranchers via using private oil companies and taxes) production is the human hating Communist/ Totalitarian aim). Citizens will not reproduce or prosper under such circumstances and they will not say anything bad about the Agendah two one gument because they will dependent on gument(agendah 21) thugs for their food and their shelter.
By marginalizing producers through putting trash in the streets who pretend to 'care' the grim human haters thought that they had muted their real targets (ranchers and farmers) but the human haters did not factor in the possibility of an Ezra or a Kate (SDA Kate) exposing the frauds before the landowners could be bankrupt and moved off their land.
Treaty Indians should take note: they are being used as 'useful idiots' right now but they are on the Agenda list too.
God Bless you Ezra. Thankyou.
Thanks for your detailed comment, Gerry. I've long wondered about the scientific knowledgebase of the Global Warming Cultists. I distinctly remember seeing a "Climate Change Specialist" of the David Suzuki Foundation blabbing a lot of double-speak in Vancouver. So I looked up on the Internet more about him. Sure enough, he was an Arts grad yet was posing as a scientific expert. We all know what would happen if a person posed as a doctor and dispensed medical advice. Yet we have countless Useful Idiots posing as scientists on an incredibly complex topic and yet no one on the Left has any problem with them doing so. What an insane world we live in!
The primary reason for the "protester's" obfuscation is obviously based on ignorance and embracing of memes. The real reason IMO, the "root cause" of motivation for these professional protesters has little or nothing to do with the environment, as Patrick Moore, ex of Greenpeace, frequently points out.
In fact their remedies remove no actual pollution from the air and water, let alone "emissions;" no, they champion tax increases and shutting down the productive capacities of modern economies, while ignoring what's going on in China (and Saudi Arabia), with increased emissions and pollution outpacing entire economic output of countries like Canada and even Germany.
They are watermelons, as Ezra points out, and their true agenda is to destroy capitalism, like any Marxist. Why do they, for instance, have common cause with misogynist, gay and trade union hating Islamists? Because like them they hate capitalism too.
Had a friend who worked for a news agency and promoted that viewpoint -- anti-harper, anti-hudak, anti-ford -- wtf -- did not truth ever count? should they not be investigated and follewed 24/7?
there is a problem here.
Occam, sadly you can add educators to the media/courts/parliament/activist complex . Most teen girls today are proud to call themselves environmentalists and they fully believe the stupid.
More people need to start pushing back and making it a little uncomfortable for these fools to spew their ignorance. The more I think about it, more regular people need to start challenging the media's ignorance when they show up to promote progressive protests.
My office is right downtown so I can see many of these protests, often the "professionals" outnumber the real protesters. Have also seen arguments break out where the people with a legitimate grip feel their message is getting lost under the din and noise of these types.
Good tool for dealing with protestors.

The left has almost achieved a shutdown of Sun TV and Ezra Levant. Many forces at work to make sure that happens. The sad sack CPC will rue the day that factual news disappears. I guess they don't like their senators hitting the spotlights. The CBC takes bribes more easily.
It is civilization that is tenuous, not the environment.
