  1. A surprisingly honest Canadian view of President Donald Trump by University of Waterloo academic Danny Lam. This media site, “The Conversation” might be an anomaly in Canadian mostly leftist journalism.
    “The Trump administration has seen more than its share of problems, not surprising given that an outsider group — separate and distinct from the political class of both dominant parties — has taken power.
    What has stayed constant, however, is Trump’s approach to governing by bringing his message directly to his constituents by means that include Twitter and political rallies.
    Trump supporters hear and see a man whose thoughts and beliefs are similar to theirs, whom they know expresses ideas that they cannot speak out loud unless in safe, like-minded and trusted company — or they risk being branded racist, sexist, homophobic and xenophobic, or, as Hillary Clinton termed them, “deplorables.”

  2. I just went through the comments to this Trump article in “The Conversation”, and it appears that most of the commenters are leftists, but there are a few objective and even right leaning commenters.

  3. John Ivison: Here’s what Caroline Mulroney brings to the party, if she runs for Ontario PC leader
    Polls suggest many Ontarians have concluded the Liberals are too old, too tired and too expensive. Mulroney would present a modern, moderate alternative

    Is John Ivison shilling for the Laurentian Elite? He would be above that , wouldn’t he?
    Lets hear what she has to say before passing judgement. Mind you, Patrick Brown fooled the conservatives in the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario, as he was nothing but a Liberal Lite.

    “Canadian drillers moving rigs south to chase brighter prospects in U.S. oilfields
    Observers say it’s unlikely drills moved to the U.S. will ever return home”
    “CALGARY — A growing number of Canadian drilling rigs are being moved south of the border to take advantage of brighter prospects in the United States — and observers say it’s unlikely they will ever return home.
    A week ago, Calgary-based Akita Drilling Ltd., primarily a Canadian driller, announced it would deploy its first rig into the prolific Permian Basin in West Texas by moving one from Western Canada.
    Meanwhile, Calgary-based Trinidad Drilling Ltd. says it’s moving two idle drilling rigs from Western Canada to the same Texas oilfield, noting the move will boost its U.S. fleet to 69 rigs compared with 68 in Canada.”

  5. It’s not often that I disagree with you but, as our intrepid host says, pleasing your enemies doesn’t make them your friends. Firstly, she’s a Mulroney. That in and of itself should disqualify her. Second, she’s a she. Giving into the Feminine Imperative has worked so well currently in Canada, no? Why would you want to listen to those that aren’t voting PC anyways. “But we would if you brought in a woman!!!” No. Just look at churches that have tried to placate by elevating women.
    Thirdly, do you really want another Laurentian elite/virtue signaller running? Doug Ford has a proven record to be the leader that Ontario has needed since Mike Harris. If it’s not Ford, vote Horwath and burn the province to the ground. Kill it with fire; it no longer deserves to survive.

  6. I am waiting for this rumour to finally blow up. Waiting . . . waiting . . . I think there is something there, but will Liberal friends and media succeed in suppressing it?

  10. My kale thing. I hate it.
    Wuz joking with my dental hygienist about this.
    In pops the dentist from the next cubicle: ‘I agree!!!!’. Hilarity ensued.
    Recently (not sure how the convesation started) a man standing behind his truck told me that “bunnies turn their noses up at kale”.
    Whoa, denizen of Vancouver, I thought: ‘I can use that!’.
    So I began telling earnest young women servers in bistros and cafes.
    It started when a Caesar salad arrived on my table comprisesd of KALE.
    Yeah and the caesar dressing now mostly comes without the essential anchovie paste, in homage to the vegetarians.
    Our female gardener however told me it was not true: that bunnies really like kale. Well, LotusLand bunnies maybe.

    “The Catastrophe has been postponed”
    “CBS News reports that “three in four Americans who tuned in to President Trump’s State of the Union address tonight approved of the speech he gave.”
    This is news only because the Trump speech was supposed to be greeted by indignation rather than modest approval.
    The script should have read: “tonight is America’s funeral”. The mourners were there in force.
    The only problem was the corpse was missing.
    While there’s plenty that is wrong with America, not everything is. The strategic weakness of Nooo! is that while there’s inevitably a modest amount of good news it remains trapped in some moment of grievance like a fly in amber.
    More than a year later, at SOTU 2018, its cry is still the same: Hillary lost. Most people know that and are ready to go on with their lives.”

  14. well I got a readers tip for ya.
    just bought a laptop with windows 81.
    what an ungodly deplorable piece of brain damaged dilbert inspired crapola.
    anybody want a cheap laptop? LOL !!!

  15. I’m very skeptical when it comes to Caroline Mulroney leading the Ontario PC’s. What are her credentials? Her famous last name….

  16. “Thirdly, do you really want another Laurentian elite/virtue signaller running?” I did not say I supported her. Sorry if the news item gave that impression. I only suggested that we hear what she has to say and offer. At this point I would suggest that Doug Ford would be a great choice.

  17. no friggin way I will vote mulruiny.
    Im really sick of these family dynasties that ‘know better than the peasants’:

    no friggin way Im voting mulruiny 2.0. didnt the first one and will NOT this time either.

  18. Could not be — Warren went on and on about how this person was very, very big and Ottawa would be stunned. Also, Kenny’s antics have been known for years. He was a bully on top of everything else.
