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."

How long before some progressive gets wind of this wonderful program and tries to shut it down.
Wonderful!
Nice golf clubs. Particularly like the driver sock. :)
Brad Wall comes off as a truly fine leader as well as a decent man.
Oh I'm sure that some in Saskatchewan will grumble at some of his policies...but as we all know, 'you can't please everyone'
No what impresses me about Mr Wall is his forthrightness and honour. He genuinely cares about his province and its people... before himself. Now that is most rare in this day.
I am envious of you folks and am in the middle of considering a major move from the left coast.
Saskatchewan is on my shortlist.
Of course if Brad Wall was so inclined as to trade premierships with Christy Clark...well I could reconsider my move.
Please all take the time today to remember our brave soldiers and particularly those who made that supreme sacrifice which allows us all to basically speak our minds on such a great blog site as SDA.
'lest we forget'
Simon
Very, very nice!
Well that pretty much sums it up for me! if alberta does not smarten up and start acting like a responsible fiscally conservative province it's either Saskatchewan or Australia form me!
Lest we forget!
GOD BLESS THIS COUNTRY AND THOSE WHO SERVE TO PROTECT IT PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
Hooray for them. It's also handy the taxpayers get to fund their little feel good exercise.
Stradivarious @ 11:56--------------What?
There is little if anything better going on in the schools, which the taxpayers are funding anyway.
And on a good day like this, SDA makes it better.
Thanks Kate,
Pat
Wonderful is right.
Thank you Colonel Kabelski (sp) and to the students of Le Club du Souvenir, and to Premier Brad Wall for bring this to our attention.
This is a sharp contrast to the Marxist idiot from the Rideau Institute and his ridiculous white poppies and think the only just war is a communist war to take over countries. Papineau/Mackenzie brigade my a**.
stradivarious, give it a rest for at least one day.
"Lest We Forget", and God bless them all.
We did the two minutes of silence here in our warm farm home.
stradivarious, give it a rest for at least one day.
Yeah, shut up and pay your taxes so the feel gooders can feel good. Socialism's ugly hold on Tommy Douglas Land is apparent at the most inconvenient times, eh?
"Feel good exercise"? Compared to 'save the planet' and LGBT-whatever nonsense?
It's ALWAYS *illuminating* to see someone's character or lack thereof exposed, stradivarious. Real swift, there.
Awsome Kate...just awesome
Ron
Heh, interesting how some people complain about leftist social programs while busily defending their own favorite social program.
Just maybe some people would prefer to honour veterans in their own way...if they had some of that tax money they have to give to the feel gooders so they can feel good.
Maybe a juxtaposition is in order...Tommy Douglas is far from dead.
This Remembrance Day is the first one my Mother will have missed in 93 years.
Last year the RCL presented her with her 70-year pin. She was so proud of that.
Stradivarous, the horse is dead. It ain't going to get up and pull your little red wagon. You should stop beating it now.
See, stuff like this is why they won't let you in to MENSA.
Nice to see a positive story of young folks like this.After hearing daily about the heinous TDSB. Along with other just plain insane things going on in schools like no hugging or playing.
This Lady who started this is to be commended, with the Children who show a maturity far surpassing their years.
A noble group this lot. I'm sure our service men are lifted up b these Children of hope.
That these kids do this all year ,not just this day is amazing in these times.
Gee, what's a MENSA? Like a Joe Who?
There are some pretty fine teachers out there and we're lucky to have them.
A big thank you to Madame Carolynne Kobelsky at École Saint Andrew in Regina.
There are some pretty fine teachers out there and we're lucky to have them.
And lucky somebody else pays them, right? Like Obamacare? Some can pay less so the rest can pay more. Parasites always like that kind of thing.
The sound of crickets.
When I was serving in Europe, I got to chat with some Dutch students. They were each assigned a war grave and they helped maintain it and tried to find out everything they could about "their liberator". This school in Saskatchewan is a giant step in the right direction. I did a Remembrance Day Parade today and then participated in a service at the local hospital for those in extended care who couold not get out - and it didn't cost the taxpayers anything.
Oh, and stradivarious (note: he doesn't warrant upper case, even in his own messages), from a veteran of over three decades of military service, please perform a biologically impossible function on yourself. See, we veterans don't have to resort to profanity even with those who deserve it.
This is really funny, everyone denouncing socialism while defending their favorite socialist institution. Well, so long as that institution does something they agree with...every once in awhile their socialist puppeteers feed them a few crumbs. Like the carrot and the donkey...
And then wonder why socialism grows ever stronger...so easily fooled.
Satan quoted Old Testament to Jesus, except he twisted it to suit himself...a word omitted, or added. Socialists do the same thing, it's a very old game and most people fall for it.
Respect and remembrance persists in the rural areas, always nice to see.
Here's some from our local group.
