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."

April 12, 1961: Yuri Gagarin becomes the first man in space in Vostok. The documentary First Orbit offers a simulation of what he might have seen:

April 12, 1981: the first launch of the space shuttle Columbia with John Young and Bob Crippen:

I got up early in that Sunday morning to watch the coverage on TV. I looked out my living room window to see if I was the only one doing so. As it turned out, there were a lot of other people up at that hour and, maybe, they were doing the same thing.
It was the second attempt to fly. The first one was two days earlier, which was scrubbed. Three on-board computers were monitoring a certain mission parameter and only two agreed, prompting flight controllers to halt the countdown.
One way to tell that it was an early shuttle mission is that the external tank was painted. After a few flights, the decision was made to dispense with that as it saved about 100 kg and, therefore, launch propellant.
That’s why, during the subsequent launches, the ET had an orange-brown colour, which was that of the insulation.
My recollection of the aforementioned scrub has become fuzzy over the years. The video gives the explanation as to what happened.
Thank you for these B A – looks interesting. Will finish this later, I remember the TV NEWS broadcasts about the missions — though I don’t think I saw them ‘live’. These men were heros.
P.S. SAW LUNAR ONES LIVE.
You’re welcome
The earliest manned space flight I remember was John Glenn and that was because I was sick at home that day, instead of in school.
The launch of Columbia was considered such big news that even CBC Radio covered it and papers had it on their front pages.

well, minnesota… here we go again…

trust me… “calling” isn’t all they’re doing.

I wonder if Minnesota Governor Walz will wait four days to actually call out enough of the MN National Guard this time?
Supposedly they are all on standby for the Chauvin – George Floyd murder trial.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz tweeted he was praying for Wright’s family “as our state mourns another life of a Black man taken by law enforcement.”
Walz is a POS.
Aren’t they busy in Washington?

So basically Officer Missy can’t tell the difference between her Taser and her pistol.
If she’s white, she’ll be out of a job. If she’s an affirmative action hire……
Actually, it could be a “human factors issue”, as tasers are designed to look like guns – mistake!

Also note that this black life apparently does not matter enough to be commemorated by looting and riots.
Montreal’s protests turned into riots as many businesses were vandalized. Here’s what Canadian news broadcasters won’t tell you. We have to get it from the Americans. Be sure to read the comments pertaining to all Canadians, some will shock you:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/04/multiple-businesses-vandalized-anti-curfew-protest-montreal-turns-riot-video/
That was action by those nice people, Antifa.
Wait until Error O’Foole hears about this. He’ll….. he’ll….. he’ll, well, give some blistering waffle about “climate change” or some such codswallop, won’t he? Boy, that’ll terrify Prinz Dummkopf for sure, right?
Oh, and it’s all Harper’s fault.
That is what happens when you cloister healthy, active 20-year-olds with no jobs in government-decreed “at home” gulags.
They protested Sunday and Monday nights so far… it’s not going to stop, either, imo.

If it weren’t for Boomers, Millennials would be the worst generation of all time.
Does that include people like me, who was born in the mid-1950s and emigrated to this country? Who took advantage of opportunities that this country offered to get a good education in a noble occupation? (Four degrees in 2 different engineering disciplines, including that one.) Who worked in that occupation for many years in this country? (Registered as a professional engineer in 3 provinces, now retired from practice.) Who endured the aftermath of PET’s NEP? (I lost several years of gainful employment thanks to that.)
I know I’m not the only SDAer in that age bracket with a similar story.
Yup, I’m one of the most useless and despicable generation of all times.
Sadly, you never received a “Studies” degree that would have opened your eyes to the inherent sexism, racism, and colonialism in your statement. DIE Boomer! OK Boomer!! DIEEEEE!!! Then … millennial lives will have achieved “meaning”.
Except, we never made the rules, as we were too young to vote until 1968 …. The only boomer PM was Harper. All the rest were war survivors. Check the birth dates of all PMs.
You drive a vehicle, or heat your home? This Boomer drilled it so you could use it. Before you were born. We built the computers you use today, Dick Brain. You’re welcome.
Blacklock reports that federal courts have banned Christmas, and Blackie’s public safety minister supports banning criminal reference checks by employers. Its unfair to criminals.
Does that mean that one’s background won’t be vetted when applying for government security clearance?

Oh, good grief! As if putting an I, Napoleonist on the cover of Sports Illustrated‘s swimsuit edition wasn’t enough, here’s another reason to boycott SI:

“no clue where my gender falls at the moment”……
No surprise that most of the comments are negative.
Fortunately, I have a mint condition swimsuit edition from the mid-1980s. I’ll have to look at it to remind myself of what it used to be like. Imagine: pictures of Paulina Porizkova, Elle Macpherson, and Kathy Ireland when they were much younger!
I think one explanation for the decline in SI can be seen here:

Breaking: O Toole to vote against CPC MPs private membership bill opposing sex-selective abortion:

Why should I pay for an abortion for any woman who wants a boy, not a girl? Send those idiots to a fee-paying clinic in some other country.
File under “unbelievable but true”, Chrystia Freeland called Covid a political opportunity!
I’m sure she has a convoluted explanation as to how she made that deduction……assuming anyone asks.

Corollary – Smarter people understand that problems are opportunities in disguise.

Her version of “Never let a crisis go to waste.”
Senator Yuen Pau Woo — the Senate leader of the Liberal Independent Senators Group — stated that China s justice system is legitimate. Note that the good senator Woo once served as president and CEO of the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada in Vancouver. Here is the last half of the Globe s article from this morning:
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-senator-warns-china-might-not-free-spavor-and-kovrig-in-meng-deal-if/
Mr. Woo also said Canada, which has criticized the arrest of the two Michaels as “arbitrary detention,” must also recognize the Chinese justice system as legitimate.
“I don’t see that there can be any resolution of the dual problem of Meng Wanzhou and the two Michaels without some recognition and acknowledgment, on the part of the two governments, of the legitimacy of the justice systems of the other side,” he told the Carleton webinar.
“I am not saying we have to agree with the Chinese justice system but it would be extremely difficult for the Chinese to suddenly spring free Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig if we essentially say that … your system is totally illegitimate.”
Added Mr. Woo: That’s “going to be very difficult for the Chinese to spring them free because it would be basically recognizing that the Canadian side was right.”
Conservative Senator Leo Housakos said he was appalled by the suggestion that Canada should recognize China’s judicial system as legitimate.
He said it’s impossible to consider China’s justice system legitimate “when it can imprison you without charges, [when it’s] a system that doesn’t disclose what the charges are to you or to your attorney and is a judicial system that is done in closed-door privacy.”
Added Mr. Housakos: “It’s laughable.”
The Conservative senator said it’s important to remember that Ms. Meng is being accused of serious charges of bank fraud and the Canadian courts must deal impartially with the extradition proceedings, regardless of whether the U.S. grants a deferred prosecution agreement.
The American charge for which she was arrested in Canada is fraud – lying to a bank – which is a crime in both this country and the United States.
The U.S. alleges that Ms. Meng deceived banks including HSBC about the true nature of the relationship between Huawei and a subsidiary based in Iran, called Skycom, and that this fraud led bankers to clear hundreds of millions of dollars of transactions in violation of U.S. sanctions.
The Conservative senator noted that Mr. Woo recently refused to grant leave for his motion that would have imposed wide-ranging sanctions on Chinese officials over its brutal treatment of China’s Muslim Uyghur minority.
He noted that Mr. Woo advocated a prisoner exchange with Ms. Meng and the two Michaels as did prominent Liberals from the Jean Chrétien era, such as former justice minister Allan Rock, former foreign affairs minister Lloyd Axworthy and Eddie Goldenberg, a senior Chrétien adviser.

A new British wind farm just released its yearly results. Guess, SDA readers, what percentage of its income came from subsidies.
Answer here

25% of revenue earned? I wonder what percentage of that electricity was produced when actually needed?
“Weightlessness” – another excellent word to describe the Supreme Leader and the policies of his Libranos:
“But I never cease to be amazed by the weightlessness of Trudeau Liberalism. After a year that has often seemed to come quite literally from Hell, when every parent, worker, small business, youth and elderly Canadian had to make grinding choices several times a week, I’m not sure it’s entirely encouraging to behold a government for which every need is imperative, no cost exists, and no choice among priorities is ever necessary. There is, somewhere in it, the jarring sound of unchecked privilege. One day, perhaps not soon, this happy family will wonder what on Earth it was thinking on a bright spring weekend in 2021.”

A word of caution for SDAers: the quote is from an article by Paul Wells.
Adolf The Gay Pirate must be getting ready to call an election. The Liberals and their lapdogs in the Bloc voted to end committee hearings regarding the Vance scandal. Now his bought and paid for media have been ordered to talk about abortion.

David the Menzoid’s report was terrific. This comes just one day after he himself was arrested by the same police force featured in the piece. What a chang in their attitude — only 180° — in a mere 24 hours. Compare his report with what listless garbage the CBC put out:
