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."

"Optimism + Political Correctness =…"

This is a tip without a link: If you have HBO (I subscribe for the boxing) they're periodically airing a very good documentary called "Terror at the Mall: the Nairobi Siege". It's harrowing viewing, with lots of footage (security cameras and other), but it gives a good sense of timelines, the incredibly bungled response, the courage of particular Kenyans, etc.
It doesn't take a didactic tone on Islamism, leaving it as the subtext rather than the topic, but it doesn't pull any punches either and lets the events and actions speak for themselves, often through the survivors.
More than a bit enraging, but highly recommended.

And we have learned nothing from the Nairobi siege as right now in any large shopping centre an empty store can be rented and arms smuggled in to be used as the base for killing infidels. Do you know the name of Mohammed's mother and the first lines of a Islamic prayer? Better memorize it now.
Plenty of Hype but no changes.

A great interview here where Winnipeg rock jock, and morning, man Wheeler asks the author of the hit piece MacLean's just put out on Winnipeg some hard questions about her "article". -Shocker- the problems really aren't about 'racism'. Something they obviously don't teach in journalism school is that if you can't properly define a problem you are not helping, you're actually making it worse.

"Spanish newspaper: Europe got Muslims for Jews"
"The truth must be told! All European life died in Auschwitz
By Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez*
I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a terrible truth - Europe died in Auschwitz.
We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, and talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world."

"We are now at the point where we can decide how the climate of the future will look. When we as a collective world community, all nations working together, are able to really prevent global warming, that would be fantastic. That would be the first time that the climate doesn’t control us, but rather us controlling it. We could make sure that all future generations will have a stable climate.”

Wonder if that means Tsipras would turn down a German bailout? Not likely that the German's will offer on though.
Greece will implode under this guy.
