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."

Trump The Establishment
You made hot tea come out my nose. I thought for a moment Jimmy Carter said that.
The blame for this rests completely on Obama’s shoulders.
Romney was ridiculed when he warned of the Russians.
Oh well, Justin will set Putin straight.
Brilliant as usual for VDH. It would be a bit more entertaining if it wasn’t so accurate. Satire at its best!
Wrong thread – sorry.
“creative ways to deter Russian aggressive (sic) and protect U.S. allies.” Oh no, they are going to bring out the crayons and colored paper! No wait, sock puppets!
Foreign Affairs Minister Do Over Dion will be the one giving Putin the talking to…if Stephie can ever speak without sounding like he has a wad of snot in his throat. The Russian bear Putin will take one look at Dion and peg him as a sissy. Good bye Arctic!
A movie befitting a drama teacher – dumb and dumber !
Sorry I couldn’t help it !
“Complex systems are unpredictable. Competent managers don’t tinker with them unless they know what they are doing.” Our western progressive intelligentsia have no idea what they are f***ing with, the perpetual forces that rush at their many and increasing weak points. “It is 2015” may be true but the fundamentals of human nature have not changed.
My guess is that anything nasty will happen while Obama is still in power. Seems logical to be opportunistic while the gutless wonder is still running the show, as the next government could be much stronger. Unless Bernie Sanders happens to win. In that case there wouldn’t be enough popcorn in the world to cover the entertainment.
So few Yanks admit or even understand the immense amount of damage that their country, under the baleful government they installed, has done in the world.
The Russians and the Chinese do, and fear more damage. Fear and greed together make a powerful motivator.
Nature abhors a vacuum is right, and the current potus has not only created a big vacuum in the world major powers lineup, but also totally messed up every region he has put his hand to. Verbal red lines do not cut it.
Maybe they should try sending those parkas Justine was talking about a while back. I read today that Siberia is experiencing below normal temperatures as well as early blizzards.
actually John the USA has done no damage at all. They have, in the past enabled many countries to ignore their own defense needs and left it up to the USA “umbrella” to protect them. This is what needs changing, and with Obumbles “holding back” this has been hi-lited in a negative context. Obumbles doesn’t understand that shifting responsibility back to “them” should be done gradually, and not as it has happened. I can see several countries doing similar things to what Israel did after the Kennedy fiasco, acquire their own nukes. As to Russia and the Chicoms, they are as much about expansionism as they are about security.
“…freedom from coercion, respect for state sovereignty,..”
What a BS’ing blowhard is Ash Carter!
The whole Obama administration is dedicated to coercion and disrespect for State sovereignty through their damned climate change scam in league with the UN.
Right about now,I’d trust the Russians and Chinese more than the U.S or their fellow OWG travellers in the UN
The US created ISIS, turned it loose, and still supports it – even with aircraft, if the news is to be trusted. The rise of ISIS is partly responsible for the migrant crisis in Europe. The US supported and still supports the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. They covertly inflamed the situation in the Ukraine. They overthrew Ghaddafi in Libya, and converted a somewhat “friendly” nation into a base for jihad. In the US itself the rat Obama’s regime has destabilized the US and been responsible for the deaths of many police, and for polar-bearing. Obama’s use of US troops untrained in Ebola-stricken areas of Africa not only was largely useless, but bore a serious chance of bringing Ebola to the US and Canada.
Have we no choice but to play the Phoenix in an unending sequence of rise and fall? Assyria, Babylon, Egypt, Greece, Carthage, Rome, the Empires of Charlemagne and the Turk. Ground to dust and plowed with salt.
(A Canticle for Liebowitz– Walter Miller)
Lay the blame on the various eco-freaks that oppose oil drilling and use fake pitures and lies as well as Obama and his buddies from OPEC I mean they will do anything and say anything to keep america dependent on OPEC
Saudi oil dependency?
Is that the end game? Pretty rough game just for petrodollars.
… the U.S. defense establishment is searching for creative ways to deter Russian aggression
Uhm … how about some big rockets? Or perhaps send in the transgender troop batallion
I don’t think the US deliberately created ISIS, incompetence did. They are responsible for Lybia and have alienated Egypt, SISI being on our side.
What about Iran, Carter’s theocratic creation?
I am sufficiently French in my thinking to hold that massive stupidity is criminal. Oh, Robert of Ottawa, you are correct that the creation of ISIS was inadvertent, consequent upon the inept actions of Paul Bremer. He had the de Nazification of Germany following WWII as a a model, but instead just turned most of the former Iraqi military leaders loose – no job, no prison, so they made mischief.
Rat Obama then turned ISIS loose, and the US has been supporting it ever since. ISIS “just happens” to chase off military opponents and takes their weapons.
Although there is special pleading in this video, Putin is right about the support that the US is giving ISIS, especially on their lack of action against ISIS oil revenues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQuceU3x2Ww
And, of course, the US has moved some F-15Cs into the theatre, which have no ground attack capability and are good only against Russian aircraft.
From Mark Steyn: “Since Obama pressed his reset button with Islam in that Cairo speech six years ago, he’s handed half of Iraq and Syria over to the Islamic State, the other half of Iraq to Iran, and Egypt over to the Muslim Brotherhood and thence to military dictatorship, and turned the Libyan seacoast into the fast-track immigration check-in for the European Union, and Yemen into a failed state awash in state-of-the-art American weaponry. Up next, Jordan?”
