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."

UKIP rises as third power with a substantial surge in local elections.

EBD, I have had a theory for a long time that the human species is neither happy, nor does it do very well, when it collates into too large a mass of people governed by a single entity. My hunch is it relates to our biological makeup, a bit like honey bees that swarm once the hive gets too large.
I think the European Union will fail over time, because it is a case of too many people ruled by too few. Europeans can delude themselves into thinking it is a wonderful thing, but that does not mean it is.
Furthermore, if humans organize themselves in smaller groups, then we have the benefit of many simultaneous experiments in democracy and governance, and can see better what works and what does not.
The US was successful because it was a collection of federated states, each with substantial freedom to govern their affairs. (I say "was", because Obama is trying his level best to destroy the country). Canada is likewise successful because of 10 provinces and 3 territories, albeit with somewhat less freedom than the individual states in the US.
As a free loving human, I find the concept of the European Union creepy, and in the long term I think it is guaranteed to fail. The rise of UKIP is a sign of that failure kicking in.
So you get this thing called a hose, and hoist it with your famously sculpted arms...
Al-Reuters dutifully does the undoable.

"At any rate, the facts speak for themselves: after the Battle of Tours, no other massive Muslim invasion would be attempted north of the Pyrenees—until very recently and through very different means.
But that is another story."

This invasion has been far more successful. Just food for thought.

Best news I have heard this month EBD. The UKIP is a breath of fresh air in this grammar challenged world. Mr. Farage has a Winston Churchill command of English and he uses his arsenal with flair and humour. I love listening to him dress down the 'nannies'. If I were English, I would vote UKIP.
The Obama "family" dog must be starving right about now with the shutdown going on. After all, they have someone whose paid $100,000 a year to take care of him. That surely is a nonessential job.
Sean Hannity and Republican Congressman Steve King speak truth to power:

EBD and Occam, interesting, so now the war against Christians has become official policy. Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler would approve.
Great news about UKIP. Don Morris, don't hold your breath, as there is no one of Nigel's stature in Canada's Conservative party. They are too busy caving to the lefties in most things.
Windmills torn down, now that is also great news.
Now, if only "the one we are waiting for" would step down...that would be even greater news.
Toronto Star, Tuesday, Oct. 15. Richard Gwyn, "Canadian politics needs more passion".
http://www.thestar.com/opinion/commentary/2013/10/15/us_politics_is_crazy_but_canadian_politics_needs_more_passion_gwyn.html
The bottom line on government is that it alone in society has the right to use coercion. The only thing Canadians should be passionate about in terms of politics is freedom. Anything else is too dangerous and oppressive.
RE: Time lapse video!!
Cool!! Thanks!!
Not only that, but Fred Phelps, head honcho of the Westboro cult (which is what it is, not a real church at all) is a card-carrying Democrat, and has been for years. In fact he was district campaign chief for Al Gore when ran for the presidency against GW Bush. You can find a photo of the two together on the Webs.
UKIP all the way! Yea, UKIP!
If I lived in the UK, I'd be a UKIP member and would go door-to-door for them.
Are you listening, Mr. Hudak?
Me too!
Interesting background on Phelps and Westborough Gord - lefty intolerance meets pseudo-Christian cultism. Of course these obnoxious bigots masquerading as a Christian church don't show up the the southern poverty law center's list of domestic terrorists/racists ued to indoctrinate fed enforcement agencies. Neither have I heard Phelps demonize SPLC as an epicenter of godless communism. Must be a professional courtesy among Dem operatives that they don't demonize their own racists/bigots/terrorists.
"....after the Battle of Tours, no other massive Muslim invasion would be attempted north of the Pyrenees—until very recently"
Not sure that's quite true .... Siege of Vienna 1683 was the high tide mark of Muslim expansion west. Is Vienna north of the Pyrenees ...?

Stephen Harper's War on Capitalism takes more victims, in this case Canadian telecom consumers. Why don't conservatives stand up for capitalism?

Liberals blew/stole/wasted 1.1 Billion dollars from Ontario taxpayers to ensure
their re-election in TWO seats during the last provincial election.
So what you say?
1.1 Billion dollars would have paid a full years home care costs for 71,754 needy
seniors.
Think about how evil that is.
Negotiating against Harper is like football against Ditka and da Bears (per SNL skit).
http://www.nationalnewswatch.com/2013/10/16/the-canadian-press-2013-10-16-150320/#.Ul78NVYWn5N
Details of the deal are not published yet, but I expect it would be something like:
Europe sells all the cheese it wants to Canada and Canada now owns Europe (except for France , of course). ... Da Harper.
US debt is now $123.000 per worker. That's not even counting the unfunded liabilities.
http://washingtonexaminer.com/harvard-us-debt-bill-is-123000-per-worker/article/2537299
That's going to be tough to pay off with minimum wage jobs. Thank you Mr. Obama for turning all of America into Detroit.
Just got an e-mail claiming the Ottawa PPG boycotted PMSH speech before the Speech form the Throne. Instead they attended NDP meeting where they were greeted with cheers.
Video of PM Harper's speech:
http://www.stephenharper.ca/SFT/
"Globe editorial
Not much here, but just wait until 2015"
...-
"Canada PM heads to Brussels to try to seal delayed EU trade deal"
"The Prime Minister will travel to Brussels to meet with the President of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, with the goal of concluding the CETA negotiations," said a statement from Harper's office.
Harper is due to fly out on Thursday and return on Friday.
"They wouldn't make a trip if there wasn't good news to come," a European official told Reuters."
