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."

"We condemn this terrorist attack on Muslims..." Justin
So it's terrorism against Muslims and not Canadians.
Deepening diversity for richer enrichment!
I suspected the name of the attacker was Mohammed because they didn't immediately release it. I get to be right so much.
Trudeau's troubles are only beginning. How's he going to spin this one. A French Canadian white supremacist and a Morrocan Muslim working together?
Very interesting
A 'salt and pepper' team of gunmen.
I wonder if the Bissonnette guy is a recent convert to Islam
Western converts to Islam seem to have a tendency to join more hardline Islamic sects
How utterly "convenient"...
Am I the only one who feels this way.?
Watch as this translates into the strengthening of: Anti Hate Speech laws (IE: criticism of ANYTHING to do with Islam and Muslims and massive Progressive LapDog Media attacks on the Trump Presidency.
This REEKS of False Flag - Fake News.
A French Canadian Quebecois Supremacist, and Moroccan Muslim working together!
I just thank god they only used a puny firearm (reported as an illegal "automatic AK-47"), instead of a big registered Truck as they used in France and Germany to kill hundreds of people.
The same day they are going nuts on Trump trying to protect the US from such stuff. Trudeau's solution - bring in more terrorists. All that diversity will protect us. When are the Liberals themselves going to dump the moron before he destroys Canada?
Dylann Roof killed 9 African Americans in a church. He was labelled a white supremacist. Further debate resulted in the ban on the confederate flag in many public places.
When Muslims commit similar crimes it is dismissed as mental illness or workplace violence with calls for gun bans.
We live in a political world that refuses to seek the truth, speak the truth, or act according to truth.
Don't worry...CBC will explain it all to us simpletons
Oh yeah...tuned them out years ago
Respects to those slain by these punks. That is all they are, whatever their twisted motivations.
Time to diversitize our diversity.
This news story has a shelf life of about 30 more hours and investigative journalists everywhere all just went back to playing Candy Crush.
Kate, you're on fire this morning. (Headlines and links) Maybe we can get some SDA techies out there to contribute some Facebook screen shots of these yahoos, instagram twitter etc and get some investigative info on our own to counter the msm "alt facts".
Great job, glad you're back.
So ... as I suspected when the leftist news agencies reported 2 suspects were captured, but no names or motives were forthcoming ... it was Muslim tribe A murdering Muslim tribe B. Same as it ever was, same as it EVER was.
And it is entirely predictable for the leftist media and leftist politicians to immediately lecture us dumb white people about how to behave "civilized". These fools might want to read up some more about the Religion of Peace and the history of its adherents.
As usual, the leftists have taken up the banner of the murderers, instead of the peaceful. The barbaric instead of the civilized. They have been thoroughly brainwashed and indoctrinated by a FAILed Western public education system.
Our brilliant culture was built by properly educated, hard working men and women. And it appears as though it will be torn-down by dim bulbs who survive on the largesse created by their superiors.
Toronto Sun is reporting that another 2 suspects have been arrested. And also that one or both of the suspects are students at Universite Laval.

Watch this Bissonnette guy turn out to be half Haitian, LOL!
Earlier, the Imam of the mosque that was attacked spoke about a group of Muslims that had split off from his mosque. This may have been an expression of their rivalry.

Sorry, Mr G, but he's "pur laine". Maybe that's what attracted him to Islam, or Islam to him?
Baa-baa.
If a Conservative politician said it the media would draw the inference that he/she meant that Muslims aren't Canadian and cry, "racism".
"religious tolerance is a value that we, as Canadians, hold dear." justin.
"The Quran contains at least 109 verses that call Muslims to war with nonbelievers for the sake of Islamic rule."
http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/violence.aspx
Religious tolerance is not a value that muslims hold dear. Just ask the non muslims citizens Saudi Arabia. Oh wait, non muslims are forbidden to be a SA citizen.
Condolences to the families that lost someone last night. Regardless of our backgrounds or viewpoints the loss of a family member comes with great sadness.
"Diversity is our strength, and religious tolerance is a value that we, as Canadians, hold dear."
"an·o·dyne. [ˈanəˌdīn]
ADJECTIVE
not likely to provoke dissent or offence; inoffensive, often deliberately so."
And the first report of his name that I saw shortened it to Hamid.
Coming so soon after PM Potato Head offering to take what POTUS Trump won't because "diversity"
At least no Canadians killed according to Juthin
Nice of juthin and Sophie and their nannies to express sympathy
Now Khadir is that a common name?
“So before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world. And all of us against the infidel.” (The Haj, p. 15)
POTUS Trump is doing the right thing IMO
This is sounding like a tribal thingy isn't diversity grand?
You know its coming at some point in the development of this story that this was just a lone wolf.
The question that should be put to the defender's of those moderate Muslims they keep telling us about is:
Please explain to this deplorable old knuckle dragger what distinguishing features these moderate Muslim's have that differentiates them from the so-called extremists that perpetrate these murders in the name of allah?
This is likely the only time the lefties would actually pray, they'll be sitting around a drum circle desperately hoping that the shooters are white conservative males.
I suspect that they'll look like those goofy hippies video bawling about trees..
Condolences to the shooting victims and their families. Prayers for those wounded and for those who have been traumatized during this homicidal attack.
It is really hard to read the media reports from those who are religiously illiterate to try and bring sense or perspective to these acts of barbarism when they happen.
Shia and Sunni have been warring factions of Islam for over 1400 years.
We are witnessing first hand how these divisions of the Islam behave when they begin to gain ground in their communities. Sunnis have, for the most part been the peaceful and open society within the religion who make up 85-90% of followers of Islam. Shiites are fundamentalist Muslims who make up 5% and are the radicalized faction. 90% of North American Muslims are Shia. They are the warring factions, with ties to the Saudi Wahabists. How did those numbers entering North America become so disproportionate to what normal immigration patterns should be if there was proper vetting or no discrimination happening?
To not expect Shia-Sunni warring is blind or willful ignorance. Reporters seldom have enough religious training to be able to discern the difference between one religion and another, why they are in conflict and how those conflicts will permeate our society. These reporters have been taught in the politically correct world of pseudo, non-judgmentalism which are nothing but rose coloured glasses, unable to distinguish between evil and good.
By the logical viewing of these civil warring factions, it now appears that a Canadian who has been radicalized has been sucked into the fight and because he has a very strong sense of justice, has acted out that justice in the form of cleansing the line of Islam.
We will see much more of this as the Muslim population grows here in the West, these are the clashing of swords and that only leads to bloodshed.
hearing reports now that it was a lone gunman. Mohamed was only a witness...white guy alone responsible.
Keep listening. Pretty soon he'll be upgraded from "witness" to "hero".
All so predictable.
Turns out you alt-right trolls jumped the gun. Not "Muslim omn Muslim."
The earliest eye-witness quotes from persons inside the mosque state "two" shooters and "three" shooters. Then the media starts reporting it is "one". Makes me wonder if there is some sanitizing going on...
Russell, why do you let the CBC and other progaganda outlets make you into an ignorant and interant bigot?
janet >
"Makes me wonder if there is some sanitizing going on..."
LOL, this is Canada, it wouldn't be "newsworthy" if it wasn't sanitized, filtered, and then reconstructed to China's envy.
I guess it might be time to pay more attention to the pending Islamophobia bill. It will be interesting to see what weapons where used as well. Trudeau just got handed an excuse to bring a mandate out of the closet.
This little example of stick handling from the CBC, CTV and so forth are extremely disturbing. They are not trying to get the story right, they are trying to manage my response to the story.
Well, here's how they're doing so far.
First, a mosque got shot up. My response? Obviously a Mooselimb shooter, probably with some axe to grind internal to the mosque, possible shenanigans by multiple parties, poor impulse control, shame about the people who got shot.
Next, two days go by and there's no shooter named, even though they caught one guy on-site. My response? Obviously a Mooselimb shooter, and now the MSM desperately want me to think otherwise, because multicultural boilerplate. Expected response from the usual a$$h0les, no surprise.
Today, more confusion, more conflicting information, more people blaming Trump on television, and so forth. PMJT says "terrorism!" on Twitter.
My reaction? Now I don't even care who did what to who, because now -I- am the target of the government's actions. If they're spending this much time and attention screwing with the news cycle of an open-and-shut case, then there are more powerful issues at play than a shooting. This is Big Lie stuff here, and I'm getting worried. About the government, not the Mooselimbs.
How am I doing so far, you Powers That Be? I think your slip is showing.
This is undoubtedly going to segue into more semi-auto firearms bans. We will soon see all AK-47 and SKS sales banned in Canada, and possibly will have to turn in any we already own.
Gun owners been walking on eggshells ever since Trudeau won, all he needed to re-start the Gun Grab was one violent incident,and THIS was it.
Now,I'll undoubtedly be excoriated for using a tragedy to further my own agenda, just as Wendy Cukier and the CGC is about to do. Wait for it.
The AK and variants have been prohib in Canada for decades.
The joy of multiculturalism for us all to see.
It is always best to wait until the police have been able to do some work before jumping to conclusions.
Last I've read, Alexandre phoned 911 and turned himself in. My sympathies are with his parents right now as I cannot imagine what nightmare they are going through.
Unfortunately, he is described as right-wing, anti-immigration, fan of Trump.
The governments of Canada and Quebec know what actually happened and are struggling to come to terms with the nasty blow to their cherished narratives that will follow. In other words, we are into a crisis not of hatred but of news management. That's the real story. Every hour that it continues is an invitation for uninformed hotheads to retaliate against phantom targets. This makes the news management criminally irresponsible.
If it continues past 5 p.m. Eastern time I would say that conditions have been met to demand the resignation of the prime minister. I don't care about Quebec politics, somebody there could raise the same alarm. This is not acceptable and covering it up with spectacles of mass virtue signalling and false narratives about things that may not have happened will not make things better, only worse.
Perhaps the p.c. train is already off the rails and maybe off the bridge. Sending an official delegation to meet the train at the station is not only pointless, it is rather pathetic.
canoe sheds..
and AHH places to "hang"
I blame President Trump. And public-school teachers. And fluoride. And George Bush.
ah yes, you have been saying this sort of thing for a few years now, and the "electorate" in Canada is also complicit in the twisting of facts, they keep voting of incompetents like justeen. We are in interesting times, will have to wait and see if anybody "wakes" up. Apparently Brad Wall is also on board with justeen and taking in the America's rejects. There isn't real conservative in the house. Those who appear as cons are tainted by religion.
Muslims are ELEVATED in every way by your government. For one reason and one reason only ... Muslims are being used as proxy warriors against Christians. The leftist soooooo loathe Christianity that they WELCOME a 4th century barbarian religion and culture. They offer SPECIAL PROTECTION to the Muslim HATERS. All because the Muslim HATERS ... HATE (and enjoy murdering) Christians.
The leftists may be the LAST ones killed. But they WILL be killed. Hillary Clinton ran this leftist experiment in Benghazi. She fervently "believed" that the RADICAL Muslims would be SO thankful for her murder of Ghadaffi ... that she ... and by extension ... our Ambassador would be welcomed with open arms. She envisioned herself as their liberator ... but imagined herself BETTER than George Bush. When in reality, she was still believing and behaving like a college sophomore girl hanging on every word uttered by Saul Alinski.
The left will DESTROY Western Civilization !! RESIST the left ! RESIST !!
So typical. 6 people shot, dead. And all the radical ideologues can think to do is quickly politicize it and blame Muslims. And even when it turns out that that was so very wrong and the opposite, to continue to make anti-Muslim rants. This says so very much about how much radical conservatives really care about "life", about "liberty", about "equality" and "freedom". The radical right is no better, probably worse, than the radical left because they pretend to believe in absolutes... until it conflicts with their clear preferences for racial and religious bigotry and purity. Disgusting.
There is a conservative youth in Quebec? That's seems more unlikely than if a guy from Finland happened to be walking by with the AK-47.
You have to remember Mr. Trudeau does not love Canada.
Elite he is, internationalist he is. Canadian he is not.
Re- the usual suspects with the gun control, they have been rather quiet so far haven't they? It is interesting. Normally the Mayors of Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and QC would have designeted a Task Force by now, and the Shiny Pony would be vowing legislation.
The dog didn't bark yet. How... interesting.
NME666 said: "ah yes, you have been saying this sort of thing for a few years now, and the "electorate" in Canada is also complicit in the twisting of facts, they keep voting of incompetents like justeen."
I did a great deal of research into gun control back around 1992/93. What I found out shocked me, and destroyed my belief in the positive power of government. Which was, essentially, gun control is a lie. Not just the idea of it, but everything about it. A cynical, and sloppy, lie.
Now, that was a really long time ago. Twenty five years. Since then I have seen the same scam played out with global warming, weed and drugs, the medical business generally, food, the national debt, and now immigration. Its the same scam, run by the same people. You can see it, if you just look a tiny bit.
So for 25 years now I've been watching this go on, and commenting on the Internet, and voting for the least bad option I can get. Because having looked into getting involved with a political party, I'm pretty sure that would kill me. I'd get cancer or something.
I'm not the only guy I know saying this stuff. Its around. Kate certainly makes no secret of it. Biggest blog in Canada, 24/7, that's all she does. Blow the whistle.
As usual, the Americans got there first. They elected Trump this year. Because -nobody- could stand the idea of letting Hillary f-ing Clinton really and truly run the USA. They just couldn't do it. What cannot continue, won't.
But see, we DID. We voted for Trudeau. He's Hillary Lite. Most of the corruption, but without the bone-deep devotion to evil shown by the Robot Pantsuit. He believes his own hype. HE thinks, in his heart, he's a good guy.
So it is okay for him to play politics with murder, literally in this case. And really, what are we going to do about it? Vote him out? We voted for WYNNE! He's completely safe.
Unless, of course, the average Canadian gets offended by this "news management" schtick we're now seeing. If every white guy in Canada is a Nazi, and we are about to be, then some clever operator will see that as an opening and they will step up. Le Pen in France, Trump in America, who in Canada? Don't know. None of the current crop, this is sure.
I always wonder what it will finally take to produce a Trumpian-style reset event here in Canada. Maybe if I live another 40 years I'll find out?
Howdy! I'm at work surfing around your blog from my new apple iphone!
Just wanted to say I love reading your blog and look forward to all
your posts! Keep up the great work!
