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."

Obamacare: More Than a Glitch.
Former NYT reporter Gay Talese:
h/t Instapundit
Monsif Khan....traitor.
"(Reuters) - An Afghan army special forces commander has defected to an insurgent group allied with the Taliban in a Humvee truck packed with his team's guns and high-tech equipment, officials in the eastern Kunar province said on Sunday.
Monsif Khan, who raided the supplies of his 20-man team in Kunar's capital Asadabad over the Eid al-Adha religious holiday, is the first special forces commander to switch sides, joining the Hezb-e-Islami organisation."

Obama is
Jewish Mother stereotype from a bad sitcomthe most wonderfulest man evah!http://weaselzippers.us/2013/10/20/president-obama-marriage-counselor-and-expert-on-the-ten-commandments/
President Obama has taught me a lot over the years, and I share a few lessons in my new book, The President’s Devotional. But one of the most important lessons was about marriage—even when I didn’t want to hear it.
It started on the campaign trail in 2008, when I was then-Senator Obama’s faith outreach director. We were in the back of a black SUV, heading to the Saddleback Candidate’s Forum in Orange County, California. After quizzing me on the Ten Commandments (and poking fun at my friend and his body man, Reggie Love, for not knowing all of God’s instructions to Moses by heart), Obama looked at me with a wry smile and said: “You know, you really should get married.”
The IPCC. Crash and burn.

Ross Douthat's NYT op-ed: "Obamacare, Failing Ahead of Schedule".
Obamacare. What a bargain.
http://www.newswatchcanada.ca/ObamacareChartsc.jpg
Obamacare in its current corporatist form isn’t meant to last. It’s meant to push us towards full socialized medicine with a single-payer system. How do I know this? Simple. Let’s compare Obamacare with the Canadian single-payer system.
Re: Take up your spade! Great video--thanks!!
I agree, the video was great. Some of the pictures brought back memories of earlier days.
Great Vid EBD.
Remember the war story I mentioned some time back?
Only 1 percent of the troops attacking the beaches in Normandy, and Japanese held death traps bought extra insurance.
They knew they would never get sick or die in battle.
-
Now?
How many has our idiot insurance salesman president signed up at a cost of more than World War Two beach trips?
They won't say, but some estimates are between 32,000-63,000 and the rest are lost in cyberspace.
The stupid democrats would be thrilled with even 1 percent.
I think government motors sold/gave away more Volts than Obama-care sold sick people,
and they run a helluva lot better..
Obama if you are reading this, I'm going out for more popcorn and laughing my ass off..

"Governor General ‘delighted’ by reception in China, encourages Canadians to participate in change"
"The Governor General’s trip coincides with a full-court Canadian press in China this October. The National Arts Centre Orchestra has toured the country; the mayor of Ottawa, Jim Watson, has led a delegation to Beijing and Shanghai, the Canada-China Business Council has held a week of meetings in the Chinese capital and federal ministers John Baird and Joe Oliver were in Beijing for meetings with their counterparts."

blocking traffic and closing the airport in the country's first major air pollution crisis of the winter."

CTV,Global News,and Sun News all encountered problems at the illegal native blockade in New Brunswick.
CBC did not.
Could this be why?
Their latest article on the controversy may as well have been written by the protesters. Its all about the noble natives and their mystical connection with mother Earth.
Nothing from the company,the pro-fracking supporters,RCMP,or the people affected by the blockade. The CBC has done their usual splendid job of misleading Canadians.

No longer required ?? Ethanol mandate dropped ?

Today, I took up my SPADE, Sara !
I have emailed the Office of the Prime Minister of Canada to prepare for ME, Joseph Molnar, Woodstock Ontario, a correctly Formatted and WORDED "Property Rights" Petition for Canadians across this land, to sign and be presented to Parliament, to be included into Canada's Constitution.
My plan is to use Kate McMillan's "Small Dead Animals" blog as the sole source of Public information, while I plan to Cross Canada on foot or maybe bicycle, to get Canadians to sign the "Property Rights" petition!
Once "property Rights" are enshrined into Canadian LAW, commies like Trudeau and Mulcair headed Political Parties can never turn Canada into a Cuba,Venezuela, or Zimbabwe where the STATE owns everything, including the People's Souls!
You will not read about it in the Toronto "Red Star" or hear about it on, CBC or CTV for that matter, so long as Kate does not ban me from SDA!

New, Improved Obamacare Program Released On 35 Floppy Disks
http://www.theonion.com/articles/new-improved-obamacare-program-released-on-35-flop,34294/
*snort*
No Ron but no longer enforced either.
"The 2007 law mandates the use of 14.4 billion gallons of corn-derived ethanol in 2014 and 15 billion in 2015. Lobbyists for refiners say that requirement is too high, and have pressed both Congress to scrap the entire program and EPA to lower the requirements.
The agencies proposal, if approved as circulated, would mark a significant victory for oil companies, who have been lobbying regulators and Congress to cut biofuel blending mandates that had been eating into their market share.
Earlier this month, Big Oil’s American Petroleum Institute (API) is taking on the ethanol mandate with a lawsuit challenging quota’s that the group says is not only bad policy but unrealistic.
On 9 October, the API filed a federal lawsuit challenging the government’s estimate over how much ethanol must be blended into the US fuel supply this year.
On other side of the divide, the move would be bad news for local corn growers, who provide the raw materials for the fuel. This would reduce the volume of corn-based ethanol to about 800 million gallons less than this year's 13.8 billion gallons, even though the law had required 14.4 billion gallons in 2014."
