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."

Headine should be changed to "How's that Hopey, Changey thing working out for you?"
heh, highly suspicious that this is happening right now.
Nothing like chaos to get control of the sheeple.
Interesting that LSM is not covering it - muzzled by the WH?
I am suspicious of the shutdown of EBTCOIN. Could it just be a coincidence? The Feds flexing their muscle to make the populace compliant?

Looks like we had the same idea at the same time, Idd.
Yep. It's that obvious.
Looks like some of those mofos are going have to spend their own money for awhile.
and on another note, booze sales plummet
Elections have consequences, y'all...
My thoughts exactly. Obama could care less about "poor" people, pretended to, went crazy giving out free things, and now, poof! LOL, fooled ya.
The Obamanation's prime objective, at least those of his handlers, is to create total chaos in the most powerful nation in the world and laugh himself all the way to the bank and offstage. He's done what he was programmed to do and has left one helluva mess for others to clean up -- if that's possible.
I wonder what all the people who voted for him are thinking now?
Diversities are an impatient lot.
Whenever government handouts are interrupted, or the lights flicker for longer than 7 minutes, Walmart stores begin to self-combust.
JesusMaryandJoseph! Will the tattoo parlours go broke next?
BTW...What is the new bedazzling fad of sticking sequins all over one's face all about with Walmart shoppers? WTF?...ya can't make these things up...
Exactly, and likely pondering how to cover up that they voted for him the second time.
@Dystopian Optimist. Re: 'Diversities'. Luv it.
It's a banana republic run amok!
What a disaster this administration has been since 2008.
Even the Wyoming bison are rebelling against Obama.

Not a glitch. Anyone in the industry knows you do not install changes in a system on a Friday night. This is a deliberate incitement. I hope the Lefties have a good look at the true nature of their holy leadership.
"He's got the whole world, under his bus,
he's got the whole wide world, under his bus,..."
It was a planned act. Tomorrow Obama will blame the GOP for it because they didn't pass the budget. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but this stinks of another Democrat move.
When this bozo's presidency is said and done - the crap that follows will reveal that this is THE most corrupt, dirty and mean administration to ever occupy the WH. Sadly, by then the damage will have been done and most of it irreparable. That would make Canada the greatest nation on Earth!!!
"I wonder what all the people who voted for him are thinking now?"
I can tell you EXACTLY what they're saying,"those goddamn muf***ing Republicans! This is all their fault! Save us Prez'dint Obama"!
This is brilliant manipulation of stupid sheeple, Kabuki propaganda at it's best.
It's clearly a Republican plot to starve Obama voters. Do I need to add a "/sarc" tag?
As soon as I clicked SUBMIT, I answered my own question, "I wonder what all the people who voted for him are thinking now?"
The DAMNED Republicans' fault, of course, just like don morris and E. Fudd have pointed out. Zero's really good at creating Catch-22s for his enemies.
Nah, he'll get a statue monument standing right between the "chinese looking" Martin Luther King and Bill Ayers.
Obama's America.
Trudeau's Canada
Watch it...we are currently between Trudeaus at the present...
HEADLINE - "Obamba's 50 million man army is ready to launch at a moments notice"
Funny how people never learn. Obama will do the same to health care as welfare. A tool of power.
Will US repeat the welfare death of the Roman Empire?
http://shop.bigben.se/welfare_death100508.html
On the Sunday morning network TV talk shows ('Meet The Press', etc.) Obama's spinners and tongue dancers will be out in full force blaming this on Republicans.
If I owned a C-store in the U.S. I'd be VERY concerned this weekend about waves of feral young blacks robbing retailers for cash.

Exactly! And the media will be pushing that idea to the max.
Wow, how far the mighty have fallen and how fast the freeloaders have risen. They are so near saturation point now the takers outnumber the makers, this is probably a snapshot of the chaos to come.
Yeah well we have seen this before....
The LIVs won't blame OBOZO anymore than Ukranians, at the time, blamed Stalin for the Holomodor---("If only Stalin knew"....direct quote)
And that is the sad part of it. The vast majority of Ukrainians did not know that the NKVD and military had sealed off Ukraine and food was not allowed to be brought in, but anybody, but harvest quotas had to be delivered each year.
The LIVs do not realize that Obamacare and the Food Stamp were designed to make people dependent on government. This EBT card failure is merely a manifestation of the greater failure of a deliberate policy of enslaving people to become accustomed to entitlements.
Give it 4 or 5 days and if the EBT cards are still down we will see what the future looks like. Based on the presumption we can see through the urban smoke . Only the National Guard could keep the entitled zombies from over running Walmart and any other store that has anything of value, edible or not, and they would quickly realize they are no match for the armed hordes claiming their entitlements. By next Saturday FEMA would find out just how useless they are and decent people would be huddled behind makeshift barricades while the National Guard tries unsuccessfully to regain control of the streets. This could be the beginning of a good novel , perhaps called "7 days to hell" but we will have to wait a few days to see if it will be fiction or the inevitable crash that's coming sooner than expected. Far fetched scare mongering ? I sure hope so. We'll know in a week or less.
The EBT systems are back up and running.
The end of the world scheduled for today has been cancelled. Be glad you are not from the Xerox division that caused this clusterfarb.
Hmpfff.
Folks I dunno what all the b*tching's about. I am trying to find a downside to any of this.
If every last Walmart burned to the ground I would buy a round for the house - and salt the ground they stood on afterward. And as for the monkeys that tend to inhabit and patronize those stores...maybe they need to consider the idea of going out and getting a job so they can provide their own vittles?
Burn, Walmart! Burn! And quick - somebody bar the doors so the People Of Walmart can't get out!!!
Pretty much confirms the newest target for any hacker with a vindictive personality.. which is essentially all of them.. should be interesting times shortly..
How can these poverty stricken people afford the wireless rates for twitter?
"How can these poverty stricken people afford the wireless rates for twitter?"
Or - to borrow a line from Kate:
"Why Is There Always A Big Screen TV?"
Food Stamp Nation in turmoil....
- And remember this is a calculated, orchestrated "chaos" courtesy of the Chicago Dem/Wall St. syndicate and their puppet, the Zero.
Scenario #1 - this expedited Gvt. shut down/fiscal "chaos" will be orchestrated into a "crisis" as the shut down extends and is exploited by the current globalist gangster regime as an excuse to invoke martial law/FEMA rule and permanently deep six constitutional rule - opening the gates for the IMF (and its camp followers) to walk in and essentially replace congressional oversight of the economy.
Scenario #2 - Debt ceiling is allowed "temporarily" and QE monopoly money floods the domestic economy to pay Federal liabilities resulting in a continued soft bond market and sell-off or US currency - a continued slide into an inevitable fiscal crisis - hopefully by that time the people will respons by electing a responsible GOP/tea party administration and POTUS to cope with the dire fallout - we hope.
So Obama is the Canadian Candidate. Heh, didn't figure that out.
