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."

Kate, listening to my sat radio on the morning after the election,listening to Andrew Wilkow, he came up with a great nickname for our new PM. If you've seen the movie "Zoolander", you'll really appreciate our new PM's name Trulander :)
"Trulander"?
That's awesome.
I am totally ripping that one off. ;-)
Only thinking about it? That can't possibly be true as this morning the Red Star had a front-page banner story about P.M. Trulander withdrawing!
Ha! And so it begins.
He is so used to spinning and impressing his fans in the MSM, he forgot that it would 'fact checked'.
This is great! now I'd love to see how CBC will spin this...but I've sworn of Canadian MSM for my lifetime...
I guess he forgot to ask the big boys first.
So in other words Ditherington O'bumbles hasn't yet given the Drama Queen permission to leave the party. Wonder whats going through Barry's mind after he found out that Trulander is going to cut and run after graciously lending the Liebrals the Democrat election team. I think someone is about to get slapped upside the head.
By the way, when thats over, here's how I think a future confrontation will play out between the boy and Putin:

Tonight on the news it was trudeau, trudeau, trudeau. Everything is "what does this mean for trudeau?". Anyway eventually it got the economy and the info babe asked the economist about spending on infrastructure then all of sudden "woah wait a minute here 10 billion dollars in infrastructure spending in a 2 trillion dollar isn't going to do anything". As usual they start walking it all back now.
Unfortunately for us , with the libs in ,the look will be called Red Steal
Headline in the Red Star: Drama Queen Will Not Appear in Obomber Drama".
Seriously, although I support waging war against ISIS, and all other Islamic states, this bombing stuff is simply an Obomber CYA exercise. It is not serious and is having no effect. But why would Obomber want to attack his brethren anyway?
My fear is that the Drama Queen has as inflated an opinion of his intelligence and wisdom as the Obomber. After all, they both were born with a silver spoon in their mouths and did diddly-squat personally or professionally and lack "intellectual strength", shall we say.
I must say I found it very odd that during a congratulatory phone call from the US President drama-teacher Justin would already begin discussing major foreign policy initiatives.
Canadians elected a fool who is going to be so out of his depth it will go from funny to embarrassing to dangerous quickly.

'ohh-nooo..hey Mr bear, why are you doing that to me? ohh-no..can't we just get along??' Typical Disney-fied a-hole.
Proper response- F^%k-0ff Bear! NOW!
..BANG!!!
Well, hopefully it was the canoe that Trudeau pere used for his buck-skinned holiday in the wilds, as seen on TV,
The canoe scene was Calgary, bow river
The movie possibilities are endless. Weenies against the world. Dumb and dumber #3. How to lose a war without trying. Silence on the western front 2. My shiny pony goes to the climate conference. Perhaps even a new national anthem called The bacon leaves forever. Between Alberta, Ontario and now the federal Government the entertainment should be non stop on a monthly basis. Just in time for winter doldrums.
"The canoe scene was Calgary, bow river"...
LOL. Pierre's idea of going 'Into the Wild.'
peterj >
"The movie possibilities are endless"
I'm thinking more like "Brokeback Parliament", it's not like Obamba and Canada's new queen won't lie naked together at the first opportunity.
Obama must be muttering WTF.
Thank you TC, that was so pathetic I laughed out loud.
Another Bambi-fied product of TV world.
The material for parody and humour will be endless, shame there are no comedians left to speak.
Prime Mincer Trulander, I like it!
Yup.
Just unchecked all the CBC off guide, Mother Corpse, now, you are truly DEAD to me!
Most of CTV too as well.
Lying conniving snakes and apparatchiks
Remember that Justin's Uncle Fidel has Cuban soldier/slaves fighting in Syria.
So the first thing Zoolander does is cut and run like a coward leaving others to do the heavy lifting in the ME. Maybe you dont like being there but you don't run from a fight once you have committed.
I think Putin will tell this to Zoolander's face the next time they meet.
No it will go more like this.
Turdo: Please Mr. Putin, please don't land your troops in the Arctic. We can look for the root cause of your need to conquer the world.
Putin: You, bitch boy, you fixed chipped tooth?
Turdo: But think of the environment, the seals, the polar bears...the root causes to your aggression.
Putin: Bitch boy, you fix chipped tooth?
Turdo: Okay, yes.
Putin: After we land and you finish service to me my top General needs attention to his left one.
Craig Oliver is absolutely THE WORST on-air pundit EVER. He is poison.
I don`t normally wish others ill, but Oliver could slip and fall into a vat of boiling oil, and I would turn up the heat to Extra Crispy.
He`s the reason I stopped watching CTV.
It the idiot in that video is American she voted for Obama. If she's Canadian she voted for Trudeau.
Pity it hadn't been Niagara Falls...and twenty-five years earlier.
mom pants obumbles and the hair apparent get together and they burn one, just call them the Dooby Brothers
"He`s the reason I stopped watching CTV." Ditto here. I felt like barfing every time I listened to him.
So now, previously Canada was sending out a statesman to deal with the world's leaders and at least during the next four years we will be sending out a boy that doesn't even make a good part time drama teacher.
No...more like..."First time ever I get off the phone and feel smart. Wonder if he golfs?"
I'm somewhat experienced in "bear". Lived in the bush for too many years. They chew on stuff that smells like....food. How many poached salmon has that woman caught while out in her kayak? It probably stinks of fish, a "bear" delicacy. She didn't clean it of fish stink, ergo yummy in "bear" speak.
Absolutely brilliant.
Yeah Putin must be just quakin' in his boots anticipating his first meeting with jr. Putin's been kicking sand in zero's face for years. Maybe jr and zero could tag team the old KGB boss? Nah..
Now that zero is sucking up to the Castro bro's maybe they could help with Putin? Isn't Fidel jr's god father? I seem to recall that Castro was a god father to one of the trudeau punks. I could be wrong on that one...... Lots of possible help here for jr - he's connected. Hey how about that N. Korean commie......
Right!
I hope he doesn't Angela-Merkel-ize our too-trusting country.
It's all about 'globalization' now.
When Trulander meets Putin, Putin will whip out his Mig 21 and scare the pants of Trulander. Putin will also tell him to get out of the Arctic and stay out.
Oh great, now we go back to the kiddies table at the foreign relations.
It's too bad his father hadn't.
Oddly enough, I saw Rosie Barton talking with 2 people last night who gave gushing reviews of the new era of improved Canada-US relations. That seems a bit premature reading Panetta's piece.
Incidentally, Panetta mentions "future conversations at the head of state level". I hope he is not confusing Jr with our Head Of State
Queen Elizabeth, or her representative the Governor General.
Or maybe Jr has already given himself a promotion.
Looks like Trudeau is going to have to return Obamas campaign team and borrow his teleprompters.
Excellent analysis.
Fyi
I've circled Nov 15 on my calendar as thats the first opportunity Leisuresuit Larry gets to "tell Putin off to his face".
Somehow though I expect history will repeat itself in the same way a rumoured meeting between LBJ and Pearson and a discussion regarding the conflict in Vietnam.
"Oddly enough, I saw Rosie Barton talking with 2 people last night who gave gushing reviews of the new era of improved Canada-US relations. That seems a bit premature reading Panetta's piece."
It seems a bit premature because the current US administration only has 455 days of life left. Nothing much useful (or even useless) is likely to really get done in that time; the members of our brand-new Canadian cabinet will be trying to find their way and the members of the outgoing US cabinet will be trying to find their next job.
Oh, and the direction of the next US administration - whether Dem or Rep - is anybody's guess. The next US incumbent is going to want to flush the Obama era from the Oval Office and stamp his (or her) own personality on the presidency.
Smile for the cameras, everyone!
Canadian journalism rocks!!!
How come Alex Panetta doesn't know that Prime Minister is not an elected office, so there is no such thing as a Prime Minister elect, but Obama's Yankee spokesthingy does? Trudeau is Prime Minister Designate, until he is sworn in by the Governor General.
