Are We Still A Member Of This Thing?

I’ll take “Missed Opportunities under Stephen Harper for $500, Alex.”

Update: NYT Headline – 430,000 people have traveled from China to the US since Wuhan virus emerged, the vast majority before the Trump travel ban.

  1. There really is nothing left to do Kate. I have watched the freedom in the country and the world evaporate because of mentally defective people being allowed to vote. This country is nothing like it was when in grew up, absolutely nothing. I just do not understand how so many supposedly intelligent people have been more than will to throw away all that we had. I guess freedom and morality have just slipped away as God slipped away in people’s minds. This virus and the reaction to it will eventually prove to be the total undoing of the western world. I hope I am not alive then because it would a sad thing to say I told you so to anyone who has been close to me. There are more options than the ones our “masters” have chosen but there is no point in reiterating them because, well, “if it only saves one life”.

    1. Or a positive outlook could be that we have entered the phase that makes strong men.

      1. Ha ha ha, we can’t even make the decision to walk around the damn block without some cop telling us we are killing people. No, there will be no strong free men coming out of this only sheep and the strong man will be the dictator, use any other word you wish, that one suffices for me. We are freaking lining up for food. Jesus what has happened to us.?

        1. It’s happening already.

          Social Distance Warriors (SDWs) are being turned into neighborhood patrolling Stasi.

          Then soon the bad SD offenders can join the Falun Gong internees in the “voluntary” organ donation queue.

        2. OWG, as another owg myself,I have to agree with your dismal assessment. I see some folks are heralding this as the dawn of a new era of freedom and enlightenment, not bloody likely.
          The power establishment and the political system have seen just how far we can be pushed,and it doesn’t bode well for us peasants.

      2. Hard times create strong men.

        Strong men create good times.

        Good times create weak men.

        Weak men create hard times.

        The quote originates from – Those Who Remain by G. Michael Hopf which is a post-apocalyptic science fiction book.

        It seems that history follows this cycle. I notice that nobody seems to care about pronouns for the last week. Feminists marching in Spain cuz of muh oppression are now persona non grata after how they managed to spread the disease far and wide to make Spain one of the worst hit countries.

        The snowflakes are going to have to become a lot more resillient, whether they want to or not, and that will lead to a change in attitudes. Nobody will care about some hypothetical possibility a hundred years from now if they are hungry. People are going to have to learn how to get things done, and there will be little tolerance for the sinecured civil self-service that exists only to get in the way.

    2. Spare me. Canada and indeed the western world at large has seen far more gains in freedom than contractions as compared to the middle of the 20th century.

      1. Typical clueless lie from a turdworlder who measures freedom by the number of joints he smokes and dick he sucks.

          1. That’s nice, dear.

            The issue is China, not China’s North American vassal state, Canada.

            Pay attention.

            Does China’s current profiting off of the virus it spread, its murder of infant girls, its abuse of North Korean women, its organ trafficking, its militarism, its currency-fixing, its industrial espionage, its oppression of religious minorities, its shoddy merchandise, among the many other things it’s done, indicate that it is a human rights champion?

            Are these questions too difficult to answer?

          2. Yes you’re a winner, like a Cossack/Mongol/Vandal raising a golden chamber pot to his mouth to toast the victory….

    3. Hey old white guy, stop being such a nihilist.
      Don’t know how old you are, I maybe somewhat older, it matters none.
      Just get your courage up and tell everyone that does not agree with you, what you think.
      If you’re not going to argue for better tomorrow, what’s your point?
      In spite of assorted socialists, fascists, communists and other such ‘ists, argue on.

      I came from a socialist country run by communists, we never thought that freedom could come, one day it came. The socialists and communists were defeated.

      1. Lev, while I respect your opinion from one who came from a communist country, back then there WAS a real alternative. Now there are only socialists, communists and globalists running the political systems of most developed countries, so the only hope for the future is the rise of an earth bound messiah and given the current generation, I don’t see much hope of that.

        At best we in Canada can hope the oligarchy has a conscience, slim chance.

        I hope you are right and this owg is wrong, but.

        1. Not trying to be ignorant about the whole thing.
          You, of course are right about the rulers of Canada.
          The thing is that it seems to fall on the old guys to speak up and make the generation of socialists understand what the hell is it they want. It needs to be pointed out over and over and over until they get it.
          The old generation knows, the younger and young have zero knowledge about socialist, fascists, communist and other such scum. Sometimes it seems they don’t bloody know what time of the day it is.
          GLOZIS seem to be getting upper hand with the idiot in charge, though we must tell the truth until there is nothing to tell.
          Got two sons that managing to bring over to the real world.
          Mostly it works though they think that Trump is whatever. Nobody needs to like the guy, just when he is doing some good, they don’t need to pile on.

        2. Those communist countries also had no apparent alternatives and all you could see where more communists and a few dissident cranks being ostracized or worse. Of course the media was controlled by the government and people were afraid to speak out, and felt compelled to speak out against the “complainers”. Then one day that extra person spoke out and tipped the balance creating a preference cascade, and the whole system came down as people who had kept their silence out of fear realized that there were many others who thought the same way.

          If Canada can not be fixed as it is, there is always #Wexit, which will force the east to fix themselves.

          1. Dissents were jailed. Not ostracized. In the 50’s they disappeared never to be seen again. Later they were put in prison. Don’t know where you get the ostracism from.
            Don’t understand when you say they had no alternative, that is nonsense. There is always an alternative, there are rare events that offer opportunity to act.

            This is firsthand knowledge.
            Another is where uncle or some such relative of my mom was, around 1945 or so, taken by the ruskies to Soviet Union for crime of being mayor of a small town. In 1968 during some changes he was let go to come home and was told directly not to talk about it or they would send him back to prison, in Soviet Union. This is not hearsay, it’s a fact.
            While everybody was careful what they said and where, it was a public secret that the communists suck, everybody knew that including communists.
            There was nothing that the communists did not control.
            Communism is against the very nature of human being.
            When the time came that changed everything, everybody including communists took a deep breath and it came so naturally to everyone to be free.

            The change came when many persons, Reagan, Thatcher, Pope and Walesa appeared and overwhelmed the communist rulers by sheer force of argument, which by the way, the supposed ‘Conservative’ have complete lack of in this country.

            Ms Kate, I apologize for the long screed.

  2. Strong men arise from what nourished them. That means that the strong men of the western world are all over 60. This U.N. news is like a bad joke, or like a sub plot in a trashy conspiracy thriller. Why the US and other western countries don’t pull the plug on that corrupt organization is beyond me. Has the west just given up, or are our leaders compromised? I am not a conspiracy thinker, but sure would like someone to explain this.
    By the way, I know our poncey little hidey hole A hole Turdoo is compromised….useful idiot.
    One other point….I notice today that some media are starting up with the scare tactics on food shortages and supply chain disruption. That kind of speculative scaremongering will ensure that the food store line ups and hoarding get worse.

    1. Did you know that China doesn’t allow its subjects to own guns?

      Not a very libertarian position if you ask me.

      The Chicoms don’t even allow airsoft.

  3. Let’s all hold hands and make this next Great Leap Forward together! Can’t wait to see what cake mixing Mao’s little red book communism with human rights is gonna bake.

  4. I tried to explain ,to an MLA I knew,just how FUBARed we are,about 15 years ago.
    How my father had volunteered to fight for Canada against the promise the Nazi’s made to the world.
    Yet after 60 years we had done to ourselves everything that Hitler had threatened,State Control,Taxes exceeding reason,bureaucratic regulator malaise.
    His response was to call me a Nazi.
    Now Dad referred to his service,Italy and Holland, as 5 wasted years,his near deathbed considered opinion was “We were shooting the wrong people”.
    But every freedom he and his fellow patriots fought for,we surrendered.
    Can Ahh Duh has no freemen,no freedom of speech and no property rights,even self defence is a crime.
    Slaves of the State we is.
    The United Nations is this farce writ large.
    The herd beasts are easily stampeded,especially if told,this will make you look good and be well thought of..
    The Emperor’s New Clothes did not fabricate any aspect of human nature.
    Funnily enough,Hoolywood has rewritten Chicken Little,which is nolonger a cautionary tale of stupidity and gullibility..
    Now why did they feel that was necessary?
    Are the old truths still too strong?

    1. John, your Dad reminds me of my uncle who joined the RCAF in 1941. He often said, “I gave 4 years of my life to a country I loved with all my soul only to see it turned over to people who hate everything about me and everything that Canada once stood for”

  5. I’ve come to the conclusion that the UN is one of those things that most of the voting public spends little to no time thinking about, much like municipal politics. It exists as a “worthwhile organization” attempting to “do good” to “keep peace” and “help poor countries” in their minds without ever looking at their activities not cheered on by those integral members of the dominant institutional left masquerading as media. Those pathologically driven to control the lives of their fellow humans, depriving people of natural rights, are essentially evil. That means that the UN is little more than an international sand box intent on global governance where evil regimes dominate in the pursuit of grander evil. Most of the world’s media is complicit in that accomplishment. Questioning the continuing existence of, or membership in the UN, is uniquely a part of the conservative or libertarian lexicon.

    1. Yeah, ‘worthwhile’, ‘do good’, ‘keep peace’, ‘help poor countries’.

      Seem to remember something that Reagan said about government is going to help, be afraid,.
      Well, that applies to the UN writ large,

  6. Thank God the United Nations appointed the Communist Chinese dictatorship instead of the sort of scum that rule Canada.

    I can’t find the sarc key.

    1. Not sure there’s any sarc there. At least with China it’s obvious. With any Canadian appointed by Trudeau there would be a veneer hiding the same decisions.

  7. Remember a UN seat is important for Canada so that Dear Leader can find hundreds of high paying patronage jobs for the top layer of the LPC in retirement.

    1. And it never occurred to them, the “elite”, that they are the plague.
      The sooner the earth gets rid of them the better.
      Maybe Wuhan could help out.

    2. Even under the worst scenarios Wuhan flu will only kill off a small fraction of the world’s population, mostly elderly.

      Our masters are not ready (yet) to finally send their debt-slaves to the slaughterhouse wholesale. The objective of Wuhan flu is terror.

  8. “No joke: #China joins U.N. Human Rights Council pane ….l”

    And watch the idiot that pretends to be prime minster of this country to support that.

  9. The most heralded document of the United Nations was the UN Declaration on Human Rights, based on the values of Western Civilization. As Western nations became infected with the brain parasite Cult. Marxism/post-modernism, they lost confidence in their (our) own Civilization.

    That opened the gates for moral/cultural and political relativism, which morphed with post-modernism, into a twisted, upside down meme. The worst of the world became elevated above the best. This because, once Western Nations lost confidence in their(our) Civilization’s values. They(we) no longer had any platform or values remaining with which to challenge and defeat the rise of political corruption/tyranny in the United Nations(or elsewhere).

    The O.I.C. (Organization of Islamic States) passed the Cairo Declaration(1990) on Human Rights, where ever there is conflict between the U.N. Declaration on Human Rights and Sharia Law. Sharia law over rides it. They’ve have submitted the document more than once to the United Nations, which according to *(Major) Stephen Coughlin, makes it a legal document.

    *(tasked to do an analysis of the threat doctrine behind the 9/11 attacks(Catastrophic Failure).

    China being appointed to the U.N. Human Right Commission is simply a measure of the dominance of their power to impose their ideology across the world. As it does with the U.N. World Health Organization, which we’ve just witnessed(been the victim of). The U.N. (dominated by the O.I.C. (M.B.) and C.C.P. of China), as both political Islam and the Communist Party of China are globalist ideologies.

    Prognosis- Western Civilization has lost it’s why *(raison d’etre). Until it regains that, it cannot bear the how, for it to survive, the will to defeat the onslaught against it(us).

    *(“He, who has a why, can bear any how.”- Nietzche quote used by Dr. Viktor Frankel(Man’s Search for Meaning) to explain his observance of why some people survived Nazi concentration camps at a higher rate than others. Applicable to the body politic as to individual humans, too.)

  10. I wonder what the “normal” amount of travellers from China is for the period in the Times story…

  11. What a G D Sh&T Show!!! The only good thing is that the UN & WHO are now blatant about it! They no longer care if we know of their complicity with Islam, CCP, or thugs, dictators, and Turdeau. We should have pulled the plug years ago when Libya and Ghadaffi got invited to sit on the human rights council It’s the same as computers….garbage in, equals garbage out! Only in this case it’s Excrement in, equals Excrement out, and that stuff always runs downhill to the peasants (us) Now we are wallowing in a planet wide ocean of it!
    We’re done! toast! Might as well stick our heads between our legs, and kiss our A$$es goodbye!
    Cuz that’s the closest thing we’re gonna get to any help from now on. When will we rise up? NEVER!

  12. PET and his drug addled spawn love the UN because it represents what they represent: hate of the western world, of individual liberty and freedom from state interference in people’s lives.

    The days keep getting stranger.

    I wonder how everyone’s yearly predictions that Kate axed for are doing a quarter of the way in?

  13. The good news is that the number of new cases and new deaths each day in Italy and Spain are starting to plateau, and may start going down soon. The virus may finally be burning itself out because of the lockdowns and the number of uninfected/ not yet infected people.

    France has had a huge spike in the number of deaths in the last few days, because they finally decided to count all the dead bodies they found in nursing homes and retirement homes, not just the dead in hospitals.

  14. On the basis that you ain’t seen nothing yet. Think about where all this bailout money is coming from and where it is going and then think of who is going to pay the bill. Can you say Wealth Tax? When the fan stops spinning and the last of the sh*t runs down the walls, the leaders will exclaim that for the good of the nations they are going to legislate a one time only Wealth Tax, in order that the wealthy, sorry healthy, pay their fare share. A one-time-only, just like the income tax act. You all know that it’s coming, and yet all we’re capable of doing is grousing and bitching.

    1. Antenor, I have said that for years. So many people have sold their homes for large profit and we had to report in our tax return the amount of that sale and I am certain the feds will come and take a lot of it. Liberal greed is never satisfied as we see with the Ontario teachers unions so prepare for a theft of money we could not imagine happening in Canada.

  15. Message boards on our government ”news” websites are full of praise for China’s “little potato” in Ottawa, especially when he says idiot things like we’re working with the Chinese “people”, which is exactly the type of coverage Emperor Xi desires.

    But, it would appear that the populations in most countries are beginning to realize their self-interest, Canadians are obviously very stupid and will be slow to understand, but even here many more people than is apparent from media do seem to get it, not committed idiot Liberals of course, but normal people.

    All Canada needs to find is a Loyal Opposition to oppose the progressives who can get the message out that we don’t want to be a province of China. Leaders who will not submit to the liberals cancel culture.

    Nova Scotia boy is not that guy, perhaps John Baird would do the right thing for Canadians unless he’s already compromised?

    An effort should be made to lean on Baird even if he’s not perfect.

    1. “All Canada needs to find is a Loyal Opposition to oppose the progressives”

      Some key words.

      It is too bad that Pierre Poilievre is not running, nobody is perfect, though he is the only one in parliament that has any guts.

  16. The simple fact that everything the UN undertakes turns to Shit… Their role of “Observation” is obsolete, we have other more valid ways of knowing what Countries are doing…..Ideal role for simplified AI … Until the UN in NYC is closed down & all the Diplomates and Staff return (one way) to their own Countries…. The conspiracy theory will exist that they are guilty for the spread of a China virus….Sipping Vodka and eating smoked salmon is an indulgence in gluttony (Sin)

    In the Infamous words of Ted Turner.. “All those ladies that just want to get Fucked” need to join another F&&^ing Group

    I hear Hanoi Jane is back in the herd, proving a pound of cold liver is better than nothing…
    JMHO

  17. You know Slapshot ,I think you nailed it.
    The UN is big Government perfected.
    Just as the EU has shown the peons of Europe what their masters really believe in.
    The other side is belief in the usefulness of the United Nations is a test,a test for useless nutjobs.

  18. This is what Maclean’s is saying.

    “The coronavirus pandemic is the breakthrough Xi Jinping has been waiting for. And he’s making his move.”
    Terry Glavin: The Chinese state is committing vast resources to a hybrid strategy of intensified propaganda and information control in lockstep with an aggressive Russian-style disinformation effort

    https://www.macleans.ca/opinion/the-coronavirus-pandemic-is-the-breakthrough-xi-jinping-has-been-waiting-for-and-hes-making-his-move/

    1. I see no comment section on that MacLeans puff piece.
      Waiting for?
      They generated the pandemic,so hardly an event Xi was “waiting for”.
      Waiting for the pandemic to generate full blown panic in all Libtard centres..yeah that might work.

      1. Puff piece? Terry Glavin is the biggest and loudest opponent of China that you’ll find in today’s mainstream media. Glavin is no fan of the Liberals, and the feeling is apparently mutual.

        1. Yes Puff Piece,if Glavin is the best of the MSM we got,we are toast.No wonder they are all going broke.

          ” Aimed almost entirely at western audiences, the effort takes its cues from several Kremlin-backed operations, most obviously the barrage of fabricated “news” unleashed on behalf of the Donald Trump campaign during the 2016 U.S. presidential elections.”
          Such as?
          Followed by several other examples of TDS.
          So as I said “Waiting”?
          China is not waiting,they released this thing.
