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."

Actually it’s 3 caskets… one for the wife as well. The whole thing doesn’t make sense… the boat capsized on the way from Turkey to Greece, how far did they get? If they got into the sea (Aegean or Mediterranean) then how did they find all the bodies so quickly? If progress was so minuscule that all the bodies were immediately recovered (and in pretty decent shape from what I’ve seen of drowning victims), how did the boat capsize in pretty stable coastal waters? How come the father couldn’t at least save one child while saving himself. I’m not sure if there are any search and rescue experts on here but does this whole scene make sense to anyone?
Yup doesn’t pass the smell test…..
As stated in this article:
“Fake Syrian passports are cheaper than an EU politician’s virtue and easier to come by. Just about anyone who speaks enough Arabic to pass the scrutiny of a European bureaucrat can come with his two wives in tow and take a turn on the carousel of their welfare state.”

When I lived and worked in North Africa, it was common knowledge amongst the locals that the going rate for a Canadian passport was $10,000.00 USD.
“How come the father couldn’t at least save one child while saving himself”
Whats surprising there is that refugee children are like GOLD in any European or North American country. The welfare payments go up exponentially for each one.
I couldn’t imagine any Third World migrants especially Islamic migrants passing up those force multipliers.
Maybe the kids weren’t his, just say’n we’d need a DNA test.
Not to be nitpicky but: Is it not odd that there are 3 adult size coffins in the picture of the funeral?? Is that the ‘real’ funeral or some stock photo from some other funeral?
Muslims in the Middle East don’t use coffins. Are we being had? Again?
The Canadian Family was asked for 14K intended for his teeth, and a third party was involved in the money transfers. Was that third party the UN.. a lot of money for teeth.. Everything is wrong.
Also, shouldn’t there be blowback for the NDP MP that swore up and down that they ‘hand delivered’ the Kurdi’s file to the immigration minister himself? Were they lying or was it such a minor routine thing that they didn’t even realize that the file was for the older brother? Why isn’t the media hounding Fin Donnelly about this? btw, you really don’t have to answer that question, we all know why.
I am confused – now no coffins
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/sep/04/drowned-syrian-boy-aylan-kurdi-buried-in-kobani
Where’s the info on the coffins in the first place? All I see are a few tweets.
Thanks,
Warren
If you click on the CTV News link in Kate’s tweet – then scroll down and there is a photo on the left margin of the funeral. There are three adult size coffins in that picture.
“shouldn’t there be blowback for the NDP MP”
Indeed there should be. Fin Donnelly is a shameless liar and should be branded as such so the average voter can judge the caliber and character of Mulcair’s gang. Of course, the media don’t wish to embarrass Mulcair or Donnelly so they’ll just let it blow over and anyone with the obvious shortage of ethics that Donnelly has displayed probably won’t be bothered in the least by criticism of his actions. Besides, there might be some new Mike Duffy developments to follow and embellish.

This story reminded me of clean pacifiers for some reason.
It’s funny how the Dead Baby Liberals put so much stock in one foreign child when they themselves defend the murder of millions of almost new citizens through Planned Parenthood.
Pallywood, anyone?
This is going to end badly. You f- with people’s emotions on an ever escalating scale the way these a-holes are doing, sooner or later it all comes unglued.
I offer Syria as an example of “unglued”.
Typically in Europe this means mass deportations of “foreigners”, totalitarian regimes and death marches.
One thing should be distinguished in the situation that is happening around Mediterranean Sea. This is not a refugee crisis from war torn region, this is mass migration crisis on a continental scale.
“Newspapers around the world who previously would never carry a picture of a dead body have been showing a picture of a dead Syrian boy because it’s part of the Master Plan to get the non-elites behind allowing massive immigration.” – Lion of the Blogosphere
My bet is that the first that will snap will be the Vikings.
This is a more-free-stuff revolution, exquisitely timed, and facilitated by the subverted thinking of gullible wanna-be-seen as saints. Don’t want to get stuck in Hungary or Greece, must make it to Germany.
If my link works go to Gerald Butts twitty message….thankfully he is taking a beating.
All class those lefties.

in the all refugee migrations of the past, women and children outnumbered men. They were humbled by their experience and resigned to their fate. Today, there are mostly young men , aggressive and demanding. which by the way is expected from a male in Arab culture.
That one is a beauty bluetech…
Yep, Butts and “True-Dope-ia 2.0″ guttersnipes who give a viper’s belly elevation.
Dead babies for cash…isn’t that the Planned Barrenhood modus operandi?
” wow. Those dead boys raising a lot of money for you? Is this what you’ve reduced the Liberal party to? $$$”

If Obama sticks to his “red line” those kids are likely alive.
I guess when your “open air concentration camp” has things like well-stocked stores, military training camps and holiday beaches, the whole “we’re just like the Jews in the 30s and 40s” meme is just a joke anyway.
Isn’t this story really more about life jackets and learning how to swim?
Refugees my ass.
I don’t do that twitter tweet tweet thing so maybe someone can pick this up:
#religouseconomicmigrant
“This is not a refugee crisis from war torn region, this is mass migration crisis on a continental scale.”
It is both: a longstanding illegal migrant problem for Europe now further compounded by an outflow of refugees from the Middle East.
In trying to blame this on Stephen Harper, the Canadian left reaches a new low.

it ain’t just big media feasting on the alleged corpses…
“Liberal party leader Justin Trudeau has responded to the death of a three-year-old Syrian boy by suggesting the child should have been living in Vancouver and on his way to school this week with his cousins.”
and how about the other guy, the one who helped ghostwrite saint jack’s last words…
“As a dad and a grandfather, it is just unbearable that we are doing nothing.”
run forrests, run.

Another poll going horribly wrong:
http://www.ctvnews.ca/
Today it’s thousands, tomorrow it will be tens of thousands. What will we do when tens of millions are on the march. Our civilization is doomed if we don’t stop it now. Why would someone stay in a crappy place when they could go to Europe or Canada, or any western nation, and get free benefits beyond anything they would receive in their home country.
And while we’re on the subject, placing the blame squarely where it belongs:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-horrific-results-of-obamas-strategy-in-syria/2015/09/03/c16c117a-526c-11e5-933e-7d06c647a395_story.html
Truth hurts, tin-foil hat crowd.
I haven’t seen this “human interest” sob story but did the guy by any chance have a green helmet?
Last I heard the father was trying to get to Sweden, not Canada. Also first considered going on his own. Also wonder if he won’t marry a Muslim girl in six months and have more kids.
The question the de facto NDP/Liberal apparatchiks media party hacks were actually asking was this: “Hey you Heartless Canadians, after seeing the haunting image of the drowned boy, can you actually still keep on voting for Hitler’s Harper’s party or are you going to finally become a righteous person and Vote Left?”
The cold hard truth is these people have to run towards freedom, and if that run for freedom means you carry a gun to take out anyone trying to stop you from gaining freedom so be it. Freedom is not free if they want it they have to be prepared to fight and die for it. That means all oppressed Muslim people not just the Kurds.
Google: false Syrian passports

Can’t read the Butts thread…. either broken or taken down.
Would like to read it if you can repost the correct link
Nicola, I neglected to save a link, but one of the news article wrote that this family were some sort of Christian Orthodox, the name of which I had never heard of, and it was not the Chaldean Christian.
bluetech, great link. Butt head is sure taking a beating for trying to make money on a dead kid’s corpse. Typical progressive liberal.
I think we should let in large numbers of Christans and Yazidis because they are dead meat to ISIS. Besides I like Christians way better. They don’t seem to want to kill everyone and die martyrs.
Germany is finding that a lot of Muslims like Christians also.

An abortion is some one making a personal choice, I rather doubt that any one made a personal choice in the drowning. I though the religious wack-jobs had found a new hobby and that dragging abortion and gay issues into every discussion had subsided, guess I was wrong!!!
CKNW hosts were particularly egregious today. One saying that despite both reports – the refugee application and the offer of citizenship – being ‘erroneous’, that they had damaged the Conservative election campaign. And this from a guy who writes a column in the Province newspaper, as well as occasional host for that once quality radio station.
No mention of damage to journalism. Nothing about the basics of fact checking, cross referencing sources or even calling the sister of the surviving father for confirmation. Nope, just parrot the report as received. Then they have the temerity to counsel us against ‘believing everything you hear on the internet’ ala’ the campaign by JournalISm as sponsored by Canada’s largest union, Unifor.
The afternoon host took care to define ‘refugee’ as those fleeing political persecution and threat of deadly violence. She said that in her estimation, this family qualified as refugee. Hmmm. Nothing about the fact they were already in another country and no longer in danger of political persecution or violence, but unwilling to remain there. They admittedly were on their way to Europe in order to better their economic potential.
Can’t blame the family for that, but they knowingly and willingly put their children into a highly dangerous situation. To say they are refugees rather than economic migrants is just beyond stupidity. I thought our media betters had all graduated from journalism school where they were taught to ask probing questions and get the facts.
I think that was the forefront of thinking when the Huns marched into Europe & burned Rome. Another eastern invasion. What’s changed in over 2000 years? The label?
The way the LPOC & NDP think, “root causes” have nothing to do with it. C’mon daown. Vote for us & you get free stuff.
The story about the kid it was all a LIE…

Welcome back, the Phantom. I was truly missing you here at SDA.
It’s good to see you commenting here again.
“Why isn’t the media hounding Fin Donnelly about this? btw, you really don’t have to answer that question, we all know why.”
To report on this story would only serve the interests of the CPC and it is not our job to serve any of the parties. We have a duty and responsibility to our loyal audience to be objective and impartial and to project such. We are professional journalists and will not take sides in this election, especially if it were to disadvantage either of the two opposition parties. Bias is always to be avoided in our industry.
So when are you Laurentian Elite Media Party journalists going to start being unbiased and professional, and stop shilling for the Liberals and NDP?
We do not, nor have we ever, acted as shills for the Libs or the NDP. This has been a claim made and perpetuated by some that is simply not supported by both the facts and our quality reporting. We do not have a bias and, in fact, we reflect the public in terms of the breakdown of the numbers on election night. For example, in the 2011 federal election, the CPC received approx. 40% of the pupular vote from Canadians. Our members — specifically those who comprise the PPG, who are also voting Canadians it should be noted — voted for the CPC with approx 40% of the vote as well, proving definatively once and for all that any claims of a bias we harbor baseless and without foundation.
You will disagree of course and probably provide me with a list of journalists who you suspect do not for the the CPC. Unfortunately, I cannot provide you with the list of the 40% who do for reasons of confidentiality.
