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."

If you can't bring them democracy at least you can piss them off when you leave.

Update: The innocent man who underwent an involuntary anal probe after a traffic stop in New Mexico (the officers had made an on-the-spot determination that he was "clenching his butt cheeks" with more vigour than they deemed appropriate) has been sent a $6,000 bill for the extensive medical procedure.
Oh, gag me...the link to your vid went right to a Junior Trudeau ad.
I'll admit I watched it. He uses his best drama class techniques.
Such a pretty-boy.
I don't watch ads with Shiny Pony so I guess I will miss this video.
mid island mike
The ad I get shows buxom women in bikinis.
Same thing happened to me on YouTube a few hours ago. I could skip the ad in 4-3-2-1 seconds, which I did.
EBD, you wouldn't know what watching that video has done to me because of an experience I had after an operation when I was about 40 yrs old. As I was coming out of the anaesthetic, I felt myself 'flying' through streets with houses just like that. It was like I was going back in time, and because it was very real and I didn't know what to make of it, I never told anyone.
Who can explain an experience like that?
Eerie doesn't enter into it.
OOOhhh, now the NSA has made google angry. The fight is on.

"No. There’s no sugar-coating it – your votes for Democrats have ensured that you are the first generation in American history that will fail to exceed what their parents attained. Embracing liberalism was a stupid thing to do, done for the stupidest of reasons, and I will now let you subsidize my affluent lifestyle without a shred of guilt.
I’m a 48 year old trial lawyer living on the coast in California – I should have “Hope and Change” tattooed on my glutes. I’d have an excuse to be lib-curious, but you Millennials? Why do you support an ideology that pillages you to pay-off Democrat constituencies?"

Rats are taking over the UK, literally.

I'm sure the UK equivalent of the EPA won't allow stronger poison, their SPCA and PETA will decry the targeted genocide of sentient creatures who have the same right to life as humans, and the government will crack down further on any gun owner who dares to use a .22 or a pellet rifle to kill rats.

"ST. LOUIS (AP) — The family of a 3-year-old killed in a northern Missouri house fire says it is outraged after police used a stun gun on the boy's stepfather as he tried to run back in and save the child.
Riley Miller died early Oct. 31 in the Mississippi River town of Louisiana. A city police officer fired his stun gun at Ryan Miller as he tried to re-enter his burning home, which was destroyed.
Grandmother Lori Miller says she witnessed two officers use the stun gun three times, twice after Ryan Miller had been handcuffed."

The Corrupt Press, at it again:
"Though Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) never once mentioned the word "abortion" in his address at Liberty University last week -- a speech that caused MSNBC's Rachel Maddow to become apoplectic -- the Associated Press, immediately targeted Paul's speech as a crusade against abortion.
Because so many outlets use the AP as source material, myriad writers simply cribbed from the original AP story, without watching Paul's speech or obtaining a transcript, focusing in on Paul's abortion position. Despite their own complaints about Paul's supposed plagiarism in a speech, the media made clear that its own work is often cribbed from different sources."
