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."

A spicy meatball maybe?
That elephant is smarter than most of our politicians today.
An elephant blowing smoke? Surely the beastie has a brilliant political career in its future as it would certainly be qualified for the job.
Hello, Juthtin?
It probably can't get cigarettes, or a lighter.
They also eat Tiley hats and each other's poop, is there something they don't eat?
Shes not smoking,,,
She's Vaping!
This is Elmer the safety elephant having a mid-life crisis.
What I find fascinating is that the scientists manage to discover all sorts of healthful properties of the charcoal for the elephants ... but if I grill my dinner steak over charcoal ... it is nothing but cancer for me!
Just trying to get the taste of libturd out of its mouth.
It’s the equivalent of Tide Pods for elephants.
It's a gateway drug. They start out smoking charcoal and the next thing you know they are getting drunk on rice beer and stampeding villages.

That article is pretty misleading. Coals aren't burning & she's blowing out the ash not smoke. She's obviously just treating a stomach ache or likes the sensation of crunching charcoal.
Exactly. I saw no indication that there was anything burning at the time of the video. There was only dust in the air from whatever is being ingested.
The charcoal of today is so much more powerful than their parents charcoal ...
She is toking sanssimillion dustymillion.
Comments, lol.
"Just trying to get the taste of libturd out of its mouth." Lol, wait five, think of it and lol again.
just wait until teenagers start trying it. what a hoot.
My wife is gonna Love this trick!!
This elephant found some truffles! The dust gets blown out as a by- product of inhalation. Ànyone out there agree?
