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
Hotdog Speakeasies?..I suspect his security detail is getting nervous.
Nervous?
Nope. They’re the ones who’ll cash the reward .
No hot dogs, no pizza, no Italian deli’s, no food at Mets or Yankees games about half the inventory of every bodega. I suspect New Jersey is about to have an economic boom.
There’s no question that this “processed meats” ban is stupid virtue signalling. But you’ll still be able to get a dog with all the fixins’ at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field. According to the story the ban applies to city owned facilities, schools, prisons, hospitals. The two ball parks are privately owned. As are nearly all of the thousands of restaurants and grocery stores in NYC. I suppose they could apply their stupid ban to you if your establishment was located in a city owned building. Maybe drive your hot dog cart out of business.
In the end their virtue signalling will only piss off people who attend schools, prisons, hospitals.
If memory serves, aren’t there more than a few descendants of European immigrants living in NYC? I’m sure if the City were somehow able to implement a total ban they would hear rather loudly from the makers and consumers of spicy pepperoni, salami, bratwurst and many other flavors of sausage.
Oh, thanks for the update. I honestly didn’t look that in depth. So…. city hall cafateria food will get worse and everyone will just go elsewhere until they decide to ban more stuff by one degree
Not to defend that fruitcake, de Blasio, but his 50% cut on red meat is in places that you wouldn’t want to eat in.
See below from the link:
“Mayor Bill de Blasio approved an ambitious $14 billion Green New Deal on Monday, April 22, to combat climate change. The plan will cut purchases of red meat by 50 percent in its city-controlled facilities such as hospitals, schools, and correctional facilities. The new commitment builds off of the Meatless Mondays campaign that was adopted by all NYC schools in 2017.”
Nicolae Ceausescu was a pioneer ahead of his times.

Power and control.
What you can drink.
What you can eat.
What you can drive.
Where/when you can drive.
What you can say.
Who you can associate with.
What you can think.
We are moving toward that state at a breathtaking pace. It will get even worse that that as their nihilistic efforts to create utopia with a new gender-less people will claim victims. Make no mistake.
We are there, the need to lock it in is all that is necessary.
A few minutes ago I was just looking at the City of Airdrie’s water use by-law they snuck through in the dead of winter.
Real communist level stuff here. https://www.airdrie.ca/index.cfm?serviceID=1428
Addresses ending in an even number (0,2,4,6,8) can water lawns, gardens, trees and shrubs on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from 6 to 9 a.m., 7 to 10 p.m. for hose connected sprinklers or from 1 to 4 a.m. for automated irrigation systems, Addresses ending in an odd number (1,3,5,7,9) can water Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday from 6 to 9 a.m., 7 to 10 p.m. for hose connected sprinklers or from 1 to 4 a.m. for automated irrigation systems (see schedule by clicking on Wade below)
Also washing your own car in your driveway is banned.
Why? Because Vancouver did it. Seriously its in their faq.
I believe Ottawa’s Climate “Emergency” declaration was also imitating Vancouver. Monkey see, monkey do. It would be nice to have responsible city counsellors who put a priority on dealing with real issues, rather than silly climate posturing.
The clowns at Vancouver City hall decided to let the 4/20 protestga illegally proceed without insurance, ignoring smoking in a non=smoking city park and without a permit.
What that says to me is that its OK for me and everyone else to ignore city ordanances like watering restrictions, smoking in a public place, etc.
Trump was right, Vancouver is turning into a shit-hole. Well, he didn’t really say that but it is getting that way. The only good thing is gas is now $1.78/L. BTW, I buy gas and diesel in the states.
The Edmonton census has 3 questions:
What year were you born?
What month were you born, and
What gende do you identify with (or something like that and of course the list included the obligatory ‘LGBTQ’ as well as ‘2’. Fortunately there was the ‘Other” as well where you could specify.
JHC!!
I filled out an Edmonton Transit survey as I was coming back into the city from the airport. One question was something like “Which do you identify as: Mr., Ms., or Mx.?”
Our tax dollars at work, folks.
Aren’t hot dogs the ULTIMATE in efficiency? Scraping up all the unappetizing bits of leftover this and that from the slaughterhouse floor, grind it up, add delicious spices, and stuff it all into an intestine casing. The leftist, Colonial-haters, love to praise the Native Americans for … “using every bit of the Buffalo”. Well, I’m here to tell you that the white man uses even MORE of our cattle … every little bit of the beasts. The backward, Stone Age, Native People’s never invented sausages. We whites are FAR smarter, and greener, than they ever were.
But the Commie Mayor is drunk on control, and wants to appease EXTREMISTS like PETA. I hope the Mayor keeps going crazier and crazier. Make the little people (who voted for this turd) SUFFER. No pepperoni, No Nathan’s, No white-man Euro sausages. Oh … and of course the ban will include Chorizo … sorry MehHEcans … Sorry Central Americans … you LOSE too. First … they came for MY PEOPLES Korv (Swedish) sausage … then they came for the Mexican’s chorizo. Behold your Dear Leader! New Yorkers!
New York, California, all the blue states just keep voting for less freedom, more taxes, less personal responsibility…
They are willingly giving up liberty for the illusion of security. They deserve what is coming to them. And I will shed no tears when they get it.
The cuomo brain trust and the ny state legislators have charted a course for the stars. However, they hit the moon named stupidity that orbits uranus. With chicago and nyc both in the shitter, OKC has become my happenin’ town. C’mon down.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to simply stop offering any food at all in public institutions? If the climate can be helped *some* by getting rid of hot dogs, it can surely benefit from the elimination of hot soup, banning the energy-wasteful baked potato, and serving all vegetables cold and raw,
I can only imagine the crowds of picketers that will begin showing up at sporting events, with signs proclaiming “Your dog and beer are killing me!”
Has anyone thought to do a study on the comparative production of methane between a traditional (meat included) and a vegetarian or vegan diet?
