  2. Deja vu Award-winning filmmaker Michelle Latimer’s Indigenous identity under scrutiny
    Imagine if the following story was about a man claiming to be a woman. CBC would have a different spin I think.

    In a 2013 Toronto Star interview, Latimer said she grew up in northern Ontario and that her “mother is First Nation” and that she’s “always had a foot in two canoes.”

    In a 2014 interview she told the Yorkton Review that she didn’t “want to just be seen as an Aboriginal filmmaker, I want to be seen as a filmmaker.”

    By at least 2015, Latimer identified as Métis-Algonquin. The Métis National Council does not recognize the existence of Métis communities in Quebec.

    “Why are you claiming you are from Kitigan Zibi? What is your purpose and intent? What do you have to gain from this?” Commanda said to CBC.

    1. The Commandas are very wealthy and powerful indigenous, the filmmaker woman must be getting too big for her boots and they’re going to take her out.

      You’re an indigenous Canadian if you were born in Canada to Canadian parents.

      1. Correct Philanthropist, I have been saying that for decades. I also inform people that no one who is younger than me was here before me.

          1. They were not alive when I came along there fore not before me. You actually have to be fucking alive to qualify.

      2. Whenever an indigenous person tells me that they’ve owned this land forever, I always reply with, ”Can I see the copy of your title search??” They soon change topic.

    2. “The Métis National Council does not recognize the existence of Métis communities in Quebec.”

      Is that because all Quebecois are Metis? Being the majority sort of effs up the narrative.

  3. Is she hiding in a submarine? In a bunker? The hunt for Ghislaine Maxwell (spoiler alert – she’s in jail).

    The article fails to come to the obvious conclusion: If she was smart she would have said she had details of Hunter and Joe Biden’s Chinese business dealings. The press would never have found her even if she was living under Anderson Cooper’s desk.

    1. Why stop at the moon? Unfortunately, it’s too late to have him hitch a ride on New Horizons.

        1. NASA long stopped sending monkeys into space. Perhaps that can be suspended for Prinz Dummkopf.

        2. Why waste a perfectly good rocket, a large trebuchet would be much cheaper. If he doesn’t quite make orbit…ooops!

          1. Now that is something I’d like to see! However, if one insists on flinging him into space on a rocket, it had better be a Chinese-built Long March.

        3. VOWG – My friend suggested it would be better to send him to Marianas Trench. Brilliant I said. We’ll send him in a Styrofoam sub and tell him “the pressure will balance itself”…

    3. One of the qualifications will be: the successful candidate will be a card carrying member of the Lieberal Party. Oh, and non-White.

        1. I believe General De Gaulle earned his place in history. I don’t believe he was there to encourage Quebec to separate from Canada, I believe he was praising them for having maintained their language and other fundamental rights that had already been accorded to them. My aunt was at that rally, and that’s how she explained it to me. She was a supporter of John Diefenbaker, but then she was born in Saskatchewan from parents who originated from France. The MSM (then and now) left out the part of De Gaulle’s presentation that led to the words ”Vive le Quebec libre.”

    1. Buddy – How about we raise the bid and boycott all Hollywad (sic) movies due to their total lack of moral/ethical integrity and redeeming value?

      1. IMHO sports and entertainment are no places for political correctness despite the push by activist A-holes.

    2. No more war movies unless all the actors are veterans (I like this idea), no more crime drama unless real criminals are shot, not more police dramas unless all are actually police, and, while we are at it, no more Hollywood fakery at all. No more stunt people. Breed real dinosaurs and have them eat real people. If Keanu Reeves can’t actually dodge bullets, then too bad for him, I guess he wasn’t The One.

      1. Breed real dinosaurs and have them eat real people.

        When I saw Jurassic Park in a theatre, the audience cheered when the lawyer was eaten by the T. Rex.

    3. In the Stand there are a couple of dream sequences where the deaf-mute character does talk.

      Of course if covid were Captain Trips, we wouldn’t be here on this blog. Or 99.44% of us wouldn’t be.

  8. Toronto Sun reports on the famous Camp X exhibit being closed in Durham Region, because of diversity and snowflake complaints.

        1. I’ve often had the impression that certain women became schoolteachers so that they could be with children without the bother of having their own.

        1. That must be a recent phenomenon. Most of the teachers I had, particularly in high school, were good, but that was the better part of 50 years ago.

          After I got my Ph. D., I telephoned many of them to let them know about my degree and, more importantly, to say “thank you” for having helped make it possible.

  10. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/former-goldman-cfo-marty-sachs-calls-universal-basic-income

    Experience seems to be that when you pay people to sit around idle, you make terrorism more likely, unlike what this Goldman Sachs guy seems to think. I guess the idea is that you bring in millions of people from the third world and pay them to do nothing and all of your problems are solved since you will never lose another election and can enjoy the view from your fortified compound.

  11. The Liberal Party’s CBC celebrates the Christmas season, with rants this morning that Islamophobia is running rampant in Canada.

    1. A phobia is an irrational fear. If you won’t leave the house because you worry that Muslims will fall out of the sky and crush you, then you suffer from Islamophobia. If you are wary of boarding a plane that isn’t screening for the ROP, then you have Islamorealism.

  12. The Liberal Party’s CBC is excited about its year end interview with Blackie. They blessed us with clips of the interview to be presented this Sunday. Rosemary Barton asked him a number of questions on how wonderful he is. Although rumour has it that the crew had to keep dragging her off his lap. And a new poll shows that most Canadians still love our little dictator. Today our Great Leader will address his loyal media again, and have virtual meetings across the country to show what a wonderful job he is doing. We are so blessed.

  13. The National Post has created a new, free, cheeky-sounding e-mail newsletter entitled “NP Platformed”:

    “Canada today needs real debate — not more political correctness and cancelled thoughts.
    …
    The big issues are far from settled. NP Platformed is the cure for cancel culture.”

    http://npplatformed.nationalpost.com/p/1

    The sketch of the writers who will be featured includes such SDA favourites as Rex Murphy and Conrad Black.

    1. The NP is trying to keep it’s editorial strategy on the right.
      They dealt with a newsroom putsch that caused Barbara Kay to abruptly quit. The editorial staff had to do some navel gazing and grow a set.

      Barbara Kay has returned. The paper has maintained it’s conservative values. Will it succeed? Who knows. Conservative values have never more been challenged than they are right now.

  14. Walmart is keeping the faith with this must-have Christmas gift, and it is even available in Canada:

    https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/president-donald-j-trump-2021-12-x-12-inch-monthly-square-wall-calendar-celebrity-apprentice-president-trump-tower-republican-potus/6000201885656?cmpid=sem_google_en_pla_none_868545292_76688015445_None&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=Cj0KCQiAw_H-BRD-ARIsALQE_2OmTRnw5plSLBdaJ4l7K4rfpnG5YDkXiQykDWEWFbvFmEw7VQUESRcaAuXwEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

    1. It’s not as if he keeps using the one he has for, I dunno, joy rides to Tofino…..

    1. I cannot wait to see what an electric powered snow blower larger than the domestic size would look like. Say a Secard 425 hp Unit.

    2. This is likely being pushed by the unelected and unaccountable senior bureaucrats. A lot of them are card carrying Greenpeace members. (It was Greenpeace that set the policy to ban starlink GMO corn.)
      They need to explain how an electric tractor will do the job a diesel one will do.
      Better yet, charge the minister and the bureaucrats in advance for genocide. This stupidity will cause mass starvation.

  22. I was in Karlsruhe, West Germany when the wall went up in 1961. Good times and very scary. We thought the russkies and their east german mini-me’s were coming through the Fulda Gap. We were friends with some of the RCAF stationed down in Bad Soellingen. They flew F-100s and would occasionally see them fly overhead. Soon after, they transitioned to F104s. I truly came to appreciate ice hockey after hanging with them for awhile. And, they had a world class rink. To good friends.

  27. The National Post has published an opinion piece that might be the first, and indeed only, criticism of the latest virtue-signalling initiative by the Supreme Leader:

    “On Dec. 3, the Trudeau government introduced Bill C-15 into Parliament to bring the 2007 United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) into Canadian law. … For Canada, UNDRIP is a step backwards. Its introduction into Canadian law is likely to cause costly legal confusion in return for no real benefit to Indigenous peoples or anyone else except maybe lawyers.”

  28. The Liberal Party’s CBC website is excited about all the queer holiday movies this year. Because when the CBC thinks Christmas, they think gay sex.

    1. Tried to watch. Can’t. The sight of Colbert makes me gag.

      I would love to read Colbert’s obituary. Even more joyful if the cause of death were flesh eating disease in his crotch.

    1. Watch

      Exactly.

      The chicoms put the pressure on and then had to cave after they cleaned South America outa beans.

      Now they are paying a premium. Looks good on ’em
