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."

in a sane world….someone would have a gun
Police would be there to arrest those responsible so they can be forced to pay repairations.
In a sane world someone would use it.

A question for Pollyanna Pierre-lite…
“Where are all those evil AR15’s you
were fretting about?”

What, people thought it would stop after forcing a few people to bake cakes they did not want to? Could have started saying no at the beginning, but people did not.
Indeed … cakes with two pennisses on them started this Fascist Revolution, eh? And if you are not a True Believer … you’ll get beheaded.
Give ’em a whiff of the grape.

No knowledge of history means no rationale for current laws.
Those who wish a dark age upon us all might be cursed to get their wish. I wonder if they will miss electricity? Or if they’re self-aware enough to know what it is that they are calling for. If you do away with the inventions of dead white males then there’s no internal combustion engine, no rifles, no smokeless powder (as used in ammunition), no electricity, no elevators (or at least, no safety catches on elevators), no germ theory of disease, no penicillin… the list is a long one.
Most of us don’t care about the race of who invented something. We enjoy the melting pot, the culture that calls for keeping that which works. Wherever it came from. We don’t care about the skin colour of the guy who invented peanut butter, we add it to our toast and get on with our days. We were colour blind. You’ve poked us in the eyes too many times, so now we’re starting to notice who are contributing to society, and who are acting as anchors. And again, it ain’t race, it’s culture. Those Antifa ding-dongs are a disgrace, it doesn’t matter what their skin colour might be.
If Sir John A had been able to see what canaduh was going to become, he’d have invited the Yanks to come and take it over.
Those pathetic lefturds don’t deserve to have a statue of him, much less the country he founded.
No, we should have taken up the invitation in the original US Articles of Confederation.
Article XI.
Canada acceding to this confederation, and joining in the measures of the united states, shall be admitted into, and entitled to all the advantages of this union: but no other colony shall be admitted into the same, unless such admission be agreed to by nine states.
The troops of WW1 and 2 wouldn’t have bothered sacrificing their lives had they known what the country was to become.
Hard call, Blackbeard. I suspect he would have continued regardless. His family’s riches became based on the patronage system and the development of the transcontinental. What happened to the witless folks who chose to migrate to the western wilderness, that’s a separate question.
Sadly, no responses to the deeper items I had tried to raise.
Let’s start a pool for the date and time O’Toole does his submission.
Edward at 6:41. Aye.
Some time next month.
Let’s pull down a Trudeau or Laurier statue and see what happens.
Osumashi Kinyobe: Pierre Trudeau’s statue it has been blacken a few times but it is time for it to be destroyed as PM Justin Trudeau is destroying Canada! Soon I hope!
Why hasn’t it been pulled down because of colonialism or whatever it is that people are mad about these days?
Burn down a few Totem Poles and see what happens. As an English speaking Canadian I see this desecration of English history as a Hate Crime. Interesting that this type of pure Marxism is allowed to happen without consequence… almost like its a pre co-ordinated act between the leftist thugs and the local Government. I look forward to the Marxists and the local Government co-ordinating together to rip down that statue of Peerair the Turdhole and burning down a few Totems without penalty… or is that not how this BS works.
Pull down a few totem poles as the Haida practised slavery.
But, as I’ve been told by many an affluent white liberal, the slavery practised by others is far more different, far more fair than that of white people practising it.
Moral relativism rears its ugly head. It’s why we can use Chinese cheap labour and be beholden to that crap-hole.
Sir John A. Macdonald may not have been a perfect man but without him these horrid little nobodies wouldn’t have a Canada to crap all over.
Of course, one COULD get rid of the Indian Act, which IS institutionalised racism. No more welfare but at least the healing can begin unhindered by those who make their living off of Big Aboriginal.
And don’t expect the mayor of Montreal to have the Sir John statue repaired and set up again. Nope, that spot will be reserved for Jackass Trudeau statue down the road. Or maybe a FLQ hero.
What level of submission? “this isn’t right” or “we need to agree to resolve this deeper issue”?
If the second, put me down for $20 on 4 months.
Uh, why exactly were they allowed to do that?
Don’t we have any police?
Can I smash a Tommy Douglas statue?
Stan: Sure go ahead be my guest!
Where is one? I recall there is a statue of Louis Riel in Regina …
And yet someone left a skid mark on a gay crosswalk in Ontario, and the media and police went crazy. Plus someone painted blackface on a statue of Trudeau in Toronto and the police and media went nuts again. But destroy a statue of the prime minister who helped create Canada and that’s ok.
https://nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/canada-news-pmn/protesters-in-montreal-topple-john-a-macdonald-statue-demand-police-defunding
Yup, the unwriting continues apace.
Well that’s the kind of reporting you get from the Canadian Press. It just as well could have been the CBC or TorStar. Same thing. And the cops watched it all happen! WTF?
I wonder if the ‘Pure Laine’ Quebeckers care about the statue of Macdonald being torn down in downtown Place du Canada (Square) in Montreal. I really doubt it.
They likely would think it would make up for their loss of Quebec to the English in 1759. For that, they will always hate the English.
Yes, Nancy, taking Quebec was a grave mistake – for the English! We should have let the sorry bastards keep it.
Who knows? Maybe we would be speaking French now and English as a second language and USA would belong to Spain or France. Another debate for another time, perhaps.
Bad analogies are bad
but when the kids say “bad”, they mean good. It’s a “better than you know” analogy?
Watch it, RAY might get on yer case.
When all that FLQ foofaraw was going on 50 years ago, I happened to be looking through some of the citizenship booklets that my parents had to be familar with before we had our day in court.
I read about the Quebec Act, something which, inexplicably, we were never taught in high school. It was then that a lot of things made sense for me. The British allowed the Quebecers to keep their customs, their culture, and their laws, and they even allowed them to speak French, though privately. For me, the FLQ and its sympathizers were nothing but a bunch of dissatisfied malcontents.
So I had the audacity to speak up about it in class one day, suggesting that if Quebec hated Canada so much, why was it still in Confederation. I wasn’t very popular and even the teacher (an ex-pat Aussie herself) reprimanded me, some people going so far as to suggest I go back where I came from.
That was in 1970. Half a century later, who was right?
Who was right? When faced with war? When push comes to shove, then, it’s outright war. The Liberals and Democrats are taking money from outside forces. This is war for One World Government, a Communist one, unelected.
We were taught some Canadian history but not in any great detail. There were so many moving parts everywhere, essentially:
The Brits didn’t want the Americans taking over in Quebec by 1776 when the Americans wanted out from the British stranglehold. Concessions were made. They, as you know, revisited the issues in 1812-13.
There’s more here:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Carleton,_1st_Baron_Dorchester
When I lived in Quebec I drove by many of the places mentioned in the above piece. Back then, one could still see the soot on the outside of the Forts bombed by cannons. Could feel shivers!
When I was in high school, a lot of my fellow students tended to follow the counter culture, including revering PET because he was regarded as “young” (he was nearly 50–yeah, right) and “hip”. In hindsight, maybe the reaction of my classmates to my seemingly audacious suggestion about Quebec’s leaving Canada shouldn’t have surprised me.
On the other hand, I was one of the oddballs in my school who openly opposed PET.
I wondered what all the fuss was about and didn’t know too much about him except that he was from Mtl, and dressed differently from regular politicians. Plus I was anti-French usually. Couldn’t ever relate.
Some dumb kids I knew used to trek to Ottawa to stalk or snoop around the Hill to catch a glimpse of him (get this) in hopes of getting the rose on his lapel or even a peck on the cheek from him. Thought they were all crazy!
All this for a politician? If anything this displayed immaturity and foolishness. Trudeaumania was a phoney set up to gain popularity and future votes from the youngsters who would eventually become voters. They didn’t even know what they were voting for. That was the past. Communism? What was that?
Today the son has help from the Keilburger Brothers. Funny how that story is gone from the News cycle, so suddenly. The Canadian Media is all anti-Trump 24/7 now.
Huh. Frat brothers were “borrowing” the speakers chair from Victoria enjoy the uphostrophy with their girlfriends.
Security was lax before society started falling apart. Earlier and easier days. When you knew that a serious criminal act was likely to get you killed, you wouldn’t do it.
There’s a huge difference between “I fart in your general direction” and “Kill all of you MOFOs”. I prefer 30+ years ago, when people could disagree.
If the French had been expelled in 1763 and replaced by the British Americans who shed blood for the Crown, British North America would still be united today, and far freer than it actually is.
If they’d wanted to give the American colonists a reason to revolt, Westminster could have done far worse than handing half of British North America over to a few Frenchmen who clearly never thought their own king, country and faith worth dying for.
Guide To The Analysis of Insurgency
https://www.hsdl.org/?view&did=713599
Above is a document worth reading. The US and Canada, to a lesser extent, are in the midst of an insurgency. All of what is happening has been conceived, coordinated and even choreographed from its inception with the goal of destabilizing western society. Unless and until this insurgency is met head-on with lawful force it will only escalate until the wanton acts of property damage no longer are sufficient to satisfy the insurgents. Then they will turn their attention to using violence against those who oppose their beliefs and ideology. Next their violence will be turned against ordinary citizens. Remaining complacent and silent is to pour fuel on the fire.
Jim: One World Government or it’s Chinese take over maybe a little of both this could mean war!
It happened in Montreal. I would be more upset if it happened in Canada.
So far a lot of the comments on the CBC website thought it was a great thing to do.
You should go look again.
It appears there has been a disturbance in the narrative.
Like in the US, allowing this vandalism to go unpunished is not reflecting well on the elected in those parts.
If Trudeau doesn’t come out and denounce this it’s going to stick to him.
The problem is these are his peeps.
Yet if you were to try to stop a crime in progress, surely you would be prosecuted.
Already doing that in UK, Canada next, then USA.
WTF might as well defund police after all–they’re apparently not doing anything now, yet being paid handsomely.
This is what Canada has become? I think I’ll apply for resident alien status.
This ties in beautifully with all the fear and loathing around reopening the schools.
These idiots are the product of modern schooling.
If we want more illiterate,ignorant thugs,we should let the schools reopen.
But what difference will it make if they remain closed?
We will still have illiterate,ignorant teenagers, but they will lack the school indoctrination,possibly leaving some cracks in their ignorance for reality to slide through.
Naturally the Liberals and their paid media are on board,Burn Loot Murder gets them all excited. Titillates their deranged and perverted selves.
I just read the story in the National Post.
In one of the columns concerning Quebec, I saw a comment about Erin O’Toole’s French. My reply, ”That’s funny, because I had to listen to Jean Chretien’s English for two generations.”
My comment was deleted by the National Post. I guess we can’t trust the NP much further than the CBC.
The Moderators at Post Media are same MofO’s that work at the CBC….hired by GM Butts.
Bet on it….. I’ve experienced their action first hand.
That spot in the downtown area was where Jean Chretien held the Unity Rally in ’95.
All that trouble he took — sending civil servants from Ottawa to
beg Quebeckers to stay, the show of flags, the paid for meals, the free hotels, whatever it must have cost us Canadians, he did it.
Wonder how he feels now? Frankly, who gives a damn.
All Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did was declare that Canada was a Post National Country and that was it. The Country was lost. Then today, that symbolism was torn down in a few minutes.
Macdonald’s Statue was facing West-North West! The place of industry, the place he built.
Shame on you Justin Trudeau!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_du_Canada
Nancy Ross: We could return the favour and take down Pierre E. Trudeau’s statue! It is time!!
WHERE WERE POLICE?
There. Watching.
Carrying luggage at Roxham Road.
Justin Birch: At a local Timmy Horton’s!
They’re ready to immediately arrest anyone not submitting to mob rule.
So The Democrat Riots have spread to Canada.
You hit the nail on the head. We have enough problems of our own, why borrow fire from the yanks?
If I might be so bold to offer that a page be taken out of the Trump strategy book?
When was the last time a true conservative was elected in Montreal?
When was the last time a true conservative MP, not a CINO, was elected in Montreal?
They voted for this.
Now the rhetorical question you all know the answer to.
If it gets worse, like Portland worse and the mayor and the premier call up Ottawa to do something will the sock monkey step up to the plate or will he use the event for a photo op?
There aren’t enough troops to do the job, this time around, so photo op it is.
True conservatives do not support a government monopoly on health care! There might be twenty of us in the whole country and I’m pretty sure none of us has been elected to any office outside of a gun club. This has been a socialist country since Tommy Douglas. Ya all about to get what ya voted for .. Good and Hard.. Get ready.. Ya all deserve it!
+++DLM. but “we” don’t deserve it.
I live in Calgary, I could name some publically funded art that could use a haircut, how do I create a riot?
We could start with that Blue Ring, thingamajig, up near the airport and then that rusty iron crap on Hwy 1 west.
We could turn the blue ring into a horse shoe.
I nominate this eyesore in Vancouver for removal, as the message is so hard to figure out. sarc on
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans_Am_Totem
Damn one Firebird over the line there.
L – thanks for this info. I always thought the UBC engineers had put it there. Now I won’t enjoy it quite as much!
Yeh, we taxpayers paid for it, mostly. Wish the engineers had done it, as I rather enjoy their creativity. I have to drive by it often to get groceries. Nice that they had to go so far to find a tree on the Island.
Certainly, one can not find any trees on the North Shore. Oh but, you are not allowed to cut trees in any municipality here, even if they are disturbing gas lines or electrical wires. Permits and inspections required. Green jobs, though … so that must be good …
So what happens if the tree’s dying and poses a safety hazard, or are things done the “natural way” there?
In the past year, I’ve had 2 birches taken down on the yard of the house I inherited. Both were sickly because of a bark beetle of some sort that’s infested the region. The one in the front yard, which had become a local landmark, would have become a menace to traffic if all of its trunks had died.
(Hey, Captcha! A combine isn’t a tractor!)
In Vancouver, a dying tree or one having roots disrupting gas mains require a permit, visit by an inspector, visit by an arbourist, to plan replacement, plus follow-up. They do not call “us” tree huggers for no reason.
The “us” is in quotes, as I am an Albertan at heart, but live here amidst people with strange political views, and, seasonally, in the California desert for the weather and Can-American daughter. Clearly, I just love your taxes, but housing is inexpensive.
https://vancouver.ca/home-property-development/tree-removal-permit.aspx
On the prairies, we need to save trees, as they take forever to grow, but here???? Not so much …
https://www.insidevancouver.ca/2019/06/27/where-to-see-big-trees-in-vancouver/
Unfortunately, in NE B. C., birch trees are dying because of the aforementioned beetle. The tips of the branches start becoming bare and it continues towards the trunk each year. There’s no point in trimming off the deadwood as birches are sensitive and any drastic changes will kill them.
(That’s what happened to the neighbour across the street from my house. He had a birch on his front lawn trimmed last year. During the long weekend this month, he took down the rest of the tree, which died in between time.)
I’ve seen some of the holes the critters make. On the tree that came down last year, there were holes in the bark that were as large as my thumb and as deep as the width of my little finger.
In both cases, I simply called up a local tree felling service, made all the arrangements, and soon I had a stack of firewood. The one in my front yard was there for more than 50 years, so it had a good run during its lifetime.
Let me know when/where Alec, I’m in. All I’d need is a portable 1000 Amp plasma cutter…and a certain Blue circle would fall….
16” pipe…likely Sch 40..pah, 10 min or less.
And O’Toole said something that actually said nothing.
Failed his first test.
Mad Max didn’t have much good to say about him:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEKcKt_L3t0
I have rarely heard Max make a political comment that I do not agree with. And I have met him in person several times, read his comments/platform and listened to interviews. He is, of course, probably correct about Erin O’Toole.
Erin wants to get elected, so he almost has to go a bit lefty to win in Ontario/Quebec. Frankly, I want that to happen too, but may vote for a PPC candidate, as my riding is forever liberal until Hedy Fry retires. Can not be too soon ….
Coulda had Derek.
Let the BIPOC barbarians act like the twat monkeys they are. Every childish, entitled move those idiots make wake one more white person up to the fact that diversity+proximity=conflict. I didn’t consent to diluting Canada’s European heritage, so don’t expect me to give a flying f*ck about Africans complaining about how they don’t feel welcome. And just as an aside, you’d think the Indians (the “I” in BIPOC) would be opposed to unrestrained immigration….
To cure increased CO2 emissions: pause refugee programs, permanently, as possible and reduce immigration to zero, save a few well-trained plumbers etc.
All the thugs should be sent off to potato and fruit picking “corrective” farms for community service to replace temporary foreign workers.
John A. is grinning in his grave at what it’s going to take for Canada to get ‘back on track’
The perfect storm is coming.
Folks are ordered to shelter in place during a covid-27 crisis, and there’s a sudden power outage which forces people offline.
The arseholes whooping it up as their symbol of neighbourhood comes crashing down have no manners, and don’t understand that lack of manners leads to misery.
Where is so bad in Canada to energize such behaviour ?
When PM Justin Trudeau was asked what he would want to do if not PM he said ‘teacher’.
What grade does the lame duck PM give the cretins who desecrate Canada ?
A biff and baff! And a big fat “F”…..
And… an “A” for already updating the internet’s encyclopedia of the history of PM John A Macdonald’s Statue being knocked down in the heart of Montreal as it was looking West North-Westward, towards the mighty West of Canada where it was most promising and most industrious.
Note: Now, Premier Jason Kenney wants it sent to Alberta! Your trash is our treasure!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macdonald_Monument
I have rarely heard Max make a political comment that I do not agree with. And I have met him in person several times, read his comments/platform and listened to interviews. Sometimes, his tweets are not helpful to the conservative cause, as we need to get rid of Trudeau.
He is, of course, probably correct about Erin O’Toole. Erin wants to get elected. Frankly, I want that to happen too, but may vote for a PPC candidate, as my riding is forever liberal until Hedy retires.
I am not confident that, if elected, he would govern as a blue Tory.
“I am not confident that, if elected, he would govern as a blue Tory.”
Govern? LOL The dufus couldn’t even keep the single seat that he had. Govern is it? SNORT!
A warning from suburbia: do not come here. You will be shot. With live bullets. Through the center of mass. I’ll rather deal with the courts than die in a house fire.
