  1. I’ve been thinking about that poll that stated Quebec was in high favor of wanting Alberta/Saskatchewan oil and pipeline. I think this is “false news” made up to give false hope that Quebec will permit pipeline.

    If it were true, then there should be convoys every weekend supporting the oil industry. When I see actual protests, like in Western Canada, lasting for a month, then I might think the polls are correct. Words are cheap …. particularly from Quebec … Prove me wrong and protest the “prime minister” of Quebec.

    Tell him you want a pipeline … after all he wants to be voted in again – and if protests are like in Western Canada – he has to listen to his supporters.

    The same about the tRUDEau Carbon Tax under the LIEberals and the Notley Dictator Party (NDP) of Alberta – who supports the Carbon Tax.

    Sad, nothing will happen. (Quebec is addicted to transfer payments – and the Notley Dictator Party is addicted to the money coming in … in the form of her Carbon Tax.)

    1. “He has to listen to his supporters” …” after all he wants to be voted in again ” …

      I know you’re being sarcastic, but remember when Chretien was supposed to ‘listen to his supporters’ and rescind the 7% GST? He did no such thing, right?

      What’s galling is that most people forget that this tax not only taxes goods but also taxes services. •GOV makes a fortune on taxing labor. They live way beyond their means, squander it, and if they are from Quebec, they rib it in your face good and hard. Then there’s other motherlodes like the income tax etc. to squander, need I go on?

      Canada is toast. Once burnt, twice shy, why do we think we belong with those people, those Easterners? I left Quebec for a reason… the Frenchies ‘hate’ you, even if you’re a nice little girl!

      Thumbs up for Western Rupert’s Land all the way!

      1. “rib it”
        aha !!! the typo police strike again !!
        s.b. ‘ribit ribit ribit ‘ lol !!
        ok thats my joke for the week, carry on y’all.

        1. Ah huh. Who are you? For real…

          Look at that… “rib” instead of “rub”… gosh, well I’ll be darned …you’re right…
          (I may have an accent, you know…)
          but… thank you!

          The best typo mistake here was when some long fingered (?) gentleman typed “do you” instead of “to you”… to me… and I’ll bet you he knows who he is too, right now! Ha! maybe it’s you, typo police! I liked that one, but I just let it slip by. I didn’t want to embarrass the gentleman. Perhaps a Freudian slip? I will never know! This is only the internet, not a P.C. workplace…after all!

          Heh, heh, heh!

    2. Don’t count that idea out. Quebecers can see the common sense of refining our own crude rather than foreign supertankers coming up the St Lawrence running over belugas. Now if we could just get the BC watermelon lunatics to calm down over .5% tanker traffic increases through the “narrows.”

      1. Quebek is addicted to other peoples (our) money. If Power Corp wasn’t handling the Saudi oil coming into quebek refineries somebody else would be stealing the money. Power Corp owns the LPC.

        Pheque quebek. The traitors are not deserving of our respect.

        Boycott quebek at every turn. No products, no travel no politicians – nothing. They’ve earned it and got it coming. Hard

        1. “Power Corp owns the LPC.”

          They own the CPC too,and before that the PC’s. Power corporation allows the political club to give the peasants the illusion that WE acyually have a say in how this country is run.
          Along with a few other Big Time Quebec and Eastern corporations, Power,Irving and the rest do a pretty good job of keeping us in line, though lately they f***ed up allowing a schoolboy to run for the PM’s Office.

          But fear not, whoever is in the federal government, Power et al will continue to prosper, and THAT is why I do NOT fear a Venezuela type situation in Canada, the Desmarais family simply won’t allow it.

          1. Mulroney was a Power Corp stooge. Harper wasn’t. No indication that Scheer is at this point but hey its early and he’s not PM.
            A populist vote will be needed to change out the government and wrest control from quebek.

      2. When are the BC LOONS going to tell the USA to stop using tankers. Ha HA HA. make a deal send all Alberta crude to Alaska and then send it by tanker down the BC coast.

      3. “supertankers coming up the St Lawrence running over belugas”
        It’s the nearly extinct right whales the oil tankers are hammering. Belugas are thick like rats.

    1. Notice the media found a way to bring in Mike Duffy. As I was reading I thought, interesting guy. Then the Mike Duffy reference.

      Perhaps the dotard writer went to the Kim Jung Un school of prog journalism.

      1. The obvious retort to Duffy is Khadr, a lost court case used as an excuse to return the child terrorist to Canada, along with non-evidence claims of torture, who admitted to murder, now out on bail, with his obvious defense the Canadian government apologized and compensated him, estopping upholding the conviction, with Justin again falsely claiming they would have lost the court case they didn’t so had to pay up now.

        Total BS for a real crime as opposed to Duffy, which a nothing burger as is turned out. Cabin boy Justin must be beaten daily with that, along with his various failures like pipelines and transactions of decline like carbon taxes (oooh revenue neutral) and fixations on gender.

        The subject of his pathological political lie, aka the Grit 2015 electoral platform, makes excellent fodder too.

        Most of all, Canadians should be reminded of the utility of having their taxation, environmental and resource use policies determined by their legislatures and their fellow Canadians, rather than to the UN, the IPCC and the international junk science gender and climate change police, and the default globalization governing model of ignorant, despotic and corrupt dictators that “get things done,” so have Justin’s favour.

        Last time I looked, Lizzie May wasn’t our PM. Maybe I should take another look.

        1. I still cant and never will find out WHO was paying the convicted killer’s legal costs? legal aid ie TAXPAYER? so pm shitonthejusticesystem, howcum WE have NO say in the edict from on high?

  2. Khashoggi not just innocent journalist.

    “Jamal Khashoggi’s op-eds published in the very influential Washington Post certainly qualify as attempts to change U.S. policy against Saudi Arabia and in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood.”

    http://thefederalist.com/2018/12/27/bombshell-khashoggi-foreign-governments-influence-agent/?utm_source=The+Federalist+List&utm_campaign=21faff5699-RSS_The_Federalist_Daily_Updates_w_Transom&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_cfcb868ceb-21faff5699-84055819

    This begs the question to me. Who are the persons of influence in Canada working for the Muslim Brotherhood in Canada?

    1. Liz May and most of the greens I know.

      Justin is a mediocre actor and too much of a useful idiot to know any thing. Plus he’s never really worked a day on his life.

      Now Butts, who had to return moving expense money, cause he cheated tax payers; well he is.

    2. Kulak: the muzzies of influence are all sr advisors to bongo and his cab ministers.

      I’m told they are numerous and have the ear of almost every minister as well as the PMO.

  3. now that these new laws are in effect which allow police to force you to take a breathalyzer test even when there is no sign of impairment will lead us to the days of the Nazis when the guestapho could stop you and ask for papers anytime.
    This law is already being abused by Calgary police who demand a Breathalyzer from everyone they stop. If you refuse you are automatically charged with impaired. The insurance industry lovers this law as they will be able to gouge the public even more with increased premiums. The insurance industry has always had the liberals in their pocket.

    1. Wonder if they’ll get Justin for boating under the influence while he’s sailing around on one of his new tax payer paid boats.

    Our beloved PM takes all the credit for the allegedly healthy economy and low levels of unemployment, 5.6%.
    They claim under the Liberal government, 792,000 new jobs were created in the last three years,with 690,000 being full time jobs. The article does NOT mention what constitutes a “full time job”,nor if any of those jobs are taxpayer funded boondoggles.

    In a moment of rare honesty a few years back, one of the government agencies admitted than any job a person worked for over ten hours a week was considered full time, so if a person worked two jobs a week, which many in the retail sector do, each job at 10-20 hours, that counted as two full time jobs created.
    Another agency admitted that anyone whose unemployment insurance had run out was not considered unemployed any more. So,wtf? on these rosy stats that essentially deflect the CPC’s platform of better fiscal management. How handy.

    If we’ve learned anything in the last fifty years,it’s that statistics can and will be twisted to benefit the party that compiles them, in Statscan’s case, De Guvvermint of the day. With the thousands of oil and gas workers not employed in that field, how does the unemployment rate stay so low?

    1. The employment participation rate of Canadians is actually about 50%. Less than 19 million have a job, full or part time.

      1. and government jobs do not count as they are non-productive. I guess the number of real producers is somewhat lower.

  5. The so called experts on election prediction are lining up with a minority for Trudeau. Pollsters are going to be giving us the numbers ad nauseum. If Trudeau gets anything but defeated, reduced to Opposition, we are really not a smart “peoplekind”. The Atlantic provinces are hopelessly Liberal no matter what, it’s a brain free vote in that part of the country and it’s genetic.

    Hopefully Trudeau’s carbon tax+HST might just twig with brain free voters.

    1. A minority government with the NDP calling the shots would undoubtedly hasten the country’s demise. The NDP whether federally or provincially should never, repeat never be allowed anywhere near positions of power. Canadian history bears this out with Alberta being the latest obvious example.

    1. look for this one on thereligionofpeace.com under ‘atrocity of the week’
      along with oh, whats the body count now? between 20,000 and 50,000 ?

    I have never seen anything by the juvenile ferrell more than promos, previews, and even then . . . .

    1. I have never seen anything by the juvenile ferrell more than promos, previews, and even then . . . .

      I only saw his movie A Night at the Roxbury and that was enough.

      Oh, while we’re at it, I can’t stand Adam Sandler. The only movie of his in which he didn’t make a complete prat of himself on screen was The Wedding Singer.

      1. I didn’t care for Adam Sandler until I saw him interviewed one time.
        “i’m just grateful they let me say the lines”, he said. You have to like a guy that knows instinctively that he’s not doing anything that’s all that important in the grand scheme of things.
        Owen Wilson is the worst. If I could reach his neck through the screen I’d grab it and wring it.

    Sweden’s institutionalization of multiculturalism began in 1975, when a parliament led by Social Democrat Olof Palme rejected assimilation in favor of policies that encouraged minorities to keep their separate identities. “Of course, if you say these things [critically] in Sweden, you’ll be ferociously attacked by social workers and the dominating left-wing academia for being inhumane,” Adamson says.

    Sound like some place you know?
