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."

Refreshing to say the least - it is far past time government representatives spoke bluntly to the devolution of governing/justice/civil liberty which leftist rot has left our legislating institutions in.
It's also a wake up call for voters who think you will get change from name brand party CINOs and LINOs - a true libertarian government is the only thing that will save us from the collusive corruption of a multi party system which is just varying degrees of the same statist control freak socialism.
On a (slightly) related note, did anyone else notice the commie's atrocious grammar?
Honestly, I am so sick of people using apostrophes to pluralize words. I'd learned better than that by the time I was seven. SEVEN.
I know, I know. Nit-picking. But if it's any indication of the man's education...
Supplimental on that last rant - as displayed by this Aussi Senator, it is obvious that Libertarian ideals represent the very best motives of both modern conservatism and classic Liberalism - the type our nation's foundation documents expressed in rule of law.
Since the rot of mega government set in, all parties must of necessity stray from these founding principles to feed the klepto welfare state (as opposed to willing commonwealth confederation) and enforce the acts of centralized government which nullify provincial jurisdiction, private property and individual determination. In effect, large welfare statism is immoral - it lies, cheats, steals, centrlly concentrates power while disempowering the individual and oppresses - in the name of "the greater good". The Canadian party system is built upon this perverted premise.
Libertarianism holds that any crime committed against the individual (using force to make us do what we do not want to or which represents personal loss) perpetrated in the name of the collective state is just that - a crime. Socialism has made government into a criminal enterprise which excuses its criminality/immorality as "for the greater good".
That simple single principle of morality is at odds with everything modern leftist politicians/legislators hold to be their function. There is a reason the left fears and loaths libertarian movements and politician - it's because these are people who have figured out how parties branding themselves left and right have lied to them and strayed from principle to become statist authoritarians first and pay lip service to their political ideals.
"On a (slightly) related note, did anyone else notice the commie's atrocious grammar?"
Yup - and did you notice the genetic leftist trait of claiming the high moral ground by engaging in slander (a crime) and attempting to use the hammer of the state to smite those who dissent. THIS is what Leftists mean when they rail against free speech - they don't want to be shut up as they slander and smear , they just want their opposition silenced.
Sick - criminal really.
Terminating a persons job for using words consited racsists by the anointed ones Outragoius by typical of these demac-RATS someon needs to hit the stuid jackass over the head witha baseball bat
This is exactly how the Left needs to be confronted: aggressively and unapologetically. For too long conservatives have operated under the "don't descend to their level" argument, or allowed their veneration of institutions to temper their response to decades of constant agitprop from the Left.
Those are laudable inclinations, but it's time to face the reality that the cultural battle space has been on the Left's terms for multiple generations now. When one side (the Left) are allowed to sling the most outrageous slander at conservatives for decades, without a counter assault of equal intensity, then casual political observers tend to internalize the accusations of the Left.
When dealing with Leftists, there is no collegiality or comity, though they will certainly make appeals to such as a means of muzzling conservatives. They are unrepentant scumbags and should be identified as such at every opportunity.
Spurwing Plover:
Just what in the hell are you trying (with no success) to say? Before you post your
gibberish how about getting a third grade kid to read it and try to interpret what you write. I'm not referring to just this post ......... it's the same with all the illiterate crap you post. Give us a break.
*not even remotely offended.
Couldn't agree more BC'er. Hey halfwits, if you are drunk don't drive and stay off the computer.
Good for the senator. It is high time the right started fighting back.
pot----kettle
"rule of law"
But that's the rub. The "progressives" use the "law" to advance their agenda and use our respect for it against us. With the state being the creator and enforcer, with a compliant media that pushes public opinion against an individual that acts against the status quo, the "rule of law" has become nothing more than a tyrant with many faces.
BCer im jsut sayindemacrats are ignorant and arrogant and so are you?
NME and Spurwing. Congratulations on your high intellect and stunning and brilliant use of ad hominems. You guys are like the best commentators here!

“You guys are like the best commentators here”
You’re saying that the dyslexic wannabe antichrist actually “comments” here?
Trolling SDA with envy based ad homonym attacks on people with IQ levels above its own African standard without offering any real opinions does not = comments. Well at least in the intelligent world of debate and sharing ideas.
If you want to watch it keyboard froth, squirm, and rant like it believes it’s the exorcist demon, just type in words like “Jesus” or “Pope” for some good entertainment. LOL it’s crazy man, but funny as all hell anyway (pardon the pun).
Nicely put. Agree wholeheartedly.
