    1. Zman is right. The proper objective of a nation is guaranteeing its ability to not only endure but prosper. “Liberal democracy” is not compatible with this.

      Arguably even industrial capitalism outlived its usefulness once the technological progress it made possible allowed nations to develop weapons capable of annihilating any enemy in a matter of hours. (What have the boffins done for us since? The birth control pill? “Smartphones” that spy on us?)

      “Liberal democracy” has made it impossible for nations to find leaders with the balls to actually use those weapons against real enemies.

    Jenner, in addition to Burt    , are embarrassed by
    Caitlyn’s campaign.

    1. “Bruce Jenner is a deeply unqualified hack who doesn’t
      care about anyone but himself.”

      There, fixed it for you.

  7. When is a travel ban not a travel ban, when it’s actually a travel ban? How about right now?

    I’m looking ahead to my next trip to my house in B. C., so I called the provincial government and explained my situation. From what I was told, working on settling my father’s estate, particularly since I have to check on the house once in a while, might be considered essential travel.

    The catch is with the police. From what I understand, there will be random checkpoints along the provincial border. Even then, whether my trip to my house is considered essential is up to the discretion of the officer.

    So what I think Johnny and Bonnie are doing is to make it such that nobody wants to take the risk to travel along distance, only to be turned back. So they’re not really preventing anyone from going to B. C., but, instead, introduce enough uncertainty that people might think twice about taking a chance that they might be allowed to enter the province.

    Nice, huh?

    I’ve heard stories about how those travel restrictions have prevented people from starting new jobs because they’re not allowed to go to where they were to be employed.

    Did anyone in Victoria ever think about that? (I think we know the answer, don’t we?)

    1. I now carry on my person, a letter from my employer, which states that I am deemed an essential service employee and am thus exempt from the travel ban.

      When I received and read the letter in the lunch room, all I could think of was this and said out loud to our crew:
      (In a thick German accent) “My I zee your paperzz”?

      The eyes popped open, jaws dropped before nervous laughter erupted.

      It has now come to this. Our freedoms are gone.

      1. “…nervous laughter erupted.”

        I was think of this very thing yesterday after talking with my (lefty) sister. She was saying how depressed everyone is and she was laughing about it. These are NOT laughing matters. Loss of our freedoms and depression (Let’s Talk) is not funny.

    2. Doing a small amount of driving in the S. Okanagan and if I am stopped anywhere and asked my business, my reply will be… “My father fought in WWII so I would never have to answer questions like this in Canada.” I will say it as respectively as I can manage and then simply refuse to comply.

      I will gladly face whatever they throw at me, it will be a pittance of suffering compared to what millions of Canadians before me have endured in their struggles against fascism. It is disgusting to me that millions of Canadians now have no qualms about spitting in the faces of our war heroes by allowing our own politicians to accomplish what the Nazis couldn’t. Absolutely fucking disgusting.

      1. Hats off to you! Your timing is perfect. The deceased soldiers who fought Communism would approve of your statement. Your time stamp shows 11:11– how’s that for a message in numbers? Our war heros have spit right back at our politicians. Your timely message proves it. They speak through you this morning.

        1. Ha, I give you full points for your observation skills, Nancy.

          I think the sentiment I expressed should be front of mind for every single Canadian. Thanks for giving it a little ‘spiritual heft’, too.

    3. We’re all rooting for ya. Glacierman’s “paper” is an excellent idea, imo. Worth a trip to a mall lawyer.

      1. Just to remind you a law enforcement officer has no obligation to pay any attention to a “letter” from anyone. That is not to say that you wouldn’t have legal recourse in civil court later. If you really want to sue go for it but I don’t believe a court would be much interested in either hearing the matter or awarding damages of any significance due to the fact it is a pandemic response. Your feelings regarding the pandemic response are irrelevant.

    4. My son-in-law is a recruiter ion Ontario. He has filled positions in Ontario with people from other provinces only to find out that the candidate could not rent a house or secure permanent accommodations because he/she was from another province. (This was after they had been hired and quit their previous job. We have gone from stupid to REALLY F’ing stupid.

    1. It has nothing to do with the fact he is Joe Biden’s son. Nothing. Zip. Zero. Nada. However it does not add much – um, diversity.

    1. If I lived there in St. Remi. I would buy a little yellow male dog. And everyday I would take him to Trudeau’s crypt to relieve himself. Ad if he did a good job take him home and feed him some Alberta Beef. Menage le Merde.

      1. Ha!
        Her name was Francine Boyer. There’s a message in her name, and it is this: FRANK SCENE BOILING. The scene in Canada, right now is hot– not in a good way. People are pixxed!

  13. Nice province you got there Doug, it would be a shame if something was to happen to it because you didn’t follow our orders. Blackie forces his will on provinces again, if they don’t want to start paid sick leave programs. No money until they do so.

    1. Just ordered 4-1000watt electric burners from Canadian tire to be picked up at noon today.
      Not many left in stock and I don’t trust mail delivery anymore.
      I am surprised that someone not been stocking up on them already as May 12 approaches mighty quickly in this lockdowns.
      After that, I see prices being astronomical if you can find one.

  14. Conservatism as an ideology is dead because there’s nothing left worth conserving, and this applies to Canada as well as the US. Another must read from Pedro Gonzalez.

    https://amgreatness.com/2021/04/27/conserving-conservatism-is-conserving-defeat/

    “But transgenderism is only the latest failure of conservatism and the GOP, which has surrendered on everything including immigration, criminal justice, and reparations even as it continues to welcome the influence of progressive corporations to their states—influence that in time will reduce “red states” to a shade of purple and then blue.

    Further, conservative complaints that a new order can’t be legislated or that anyone to their right isn’t against them so much as the times betray a poverty of vision. Today, 1 in 6 adults born between 1997 and 2002 identify as something other than heterosexual. This did not happen organically; it was manufactured by the sheer force of will and tenacity of the Left and made possible by conservative fecklessness.

    There is, therefore, no reason to be “conservative,” because to be conservative in America today is to preserve an order that has lost its legitimacy, and the right thing is not to conserve but destroy it and institute something else. The Republican Party, as it stands, is and will continue to be an obstacle to this cause.”

    1. Good article.

      More and more people are rejecting conservatism. It just doesn’t work.

  15. Great Leader Kim Sung Trudeau is back on the virtual election tour today. After a brief appearance at his fake parliament, he will be addressing young people at a town hall. And of course talking on radio stations.

  17. Willie’s studio version of “City of New Orleans” is my favourite. I never cared much for his music until I watched Ken Burns’ “Country Music.” What a life!

    One can’t help but notice Willie wearing a “Pipeline Fighter” ball cap in the documentary. Oil helped make him rich (vinyl records, touring). They just don’t get it, do they?

    1. Nope, they’re nearly all liberals and of course therefore don’t get it.
      I read recently that Willy is engaging in today’s example of uber-virtue-signalling: He’s making face masks!!! (to help reinforce state obedience).

  18. Canadians giving away their freedom because of a flu virus. Strange days indeed.

  19. Is there a time frame for leaving the position of Governor General vacant?

    IMO, the Queen should intervene and appoint one of her family to do the honour.

    1. She’s trying to stash Andrew someplace…
      Every once in awhile, the media searches for him on slow news cycles.

    3. The Crown of England has never appointed a GG since the Statute of Westminster 1931. They have all been appointed by the PM. And the Crown informed later. The Letters Patent since 1931 have all been signed by the PM not the Crown of England. Royalty just another part of the Canadian Scam. Don’t believe me go look up Canadian Letters Patent authorizing the GG. Royalty scam. When the Queen passes hopefully Canadians have enough sense to demand to elect their own Head of State. Time to move out of Mommies Basement

      1. “IMO, the Queen should intervene and appoint one of her family to do the honour.”

        Naw, we’d end-up with Harry. Or Meghan.

        1. Worse yet, if, say, Harry does become GG, we’d have to put up with her incessant whining.

  20. Blacklock reports that under Blackie’s green transit plan, electric buses will be double the cost of diesel buses.

    1. Ah that’s nothin. Wait till he hears about Ballard hydrogen fuel cell buses!
      And the Chinese already own a major share of Ballard.
      Ain’t no problem munney can’t solve.

      1. Last time I had a look at Ballard’s annual report, all of his reported revenue was government handouts and – get this – loans. That was 15 years ago, I doubt anything has changed.

        1. I’ve worked for outfits like that. Part of the reason they were in rough shape was that they were horribly mismanaged and the managements had no idea how to produce revenue. If it wasn’t for government pork, those companies wouldn’t have lasted as long as they did.

  22. via Instapundit with link to WSJ behind paywall.

    The linked to author, a libertarian, says he wishes that the Pelosi-Reid Democrats were more like FDR. WTF!? Oh, ok; the FDR of 1932 not the FDR who occupied the Whitehouse between 1932-1945

    Viz.,

    The Democratic platform of that year is a remarkable document, considering the way the party’s candidate went on to govern. It isn’t a libertarian manifesto—it endorses several subsidies and regulations—but it hardly embraces the enormous expansion in federal power that FDR would achieve. The very first plank calls for “an immediate and drastic reduction of governmental expenditures by abolishing useless commissions and offices, consolidating departments and bureaus, and eliminating extravagance to accomplish a saving of not less than twenty-five per cent in the cost of the Federal Government.” (It also asks “the states to make a zealous effort to achieve a proportionate result.”) Subsequent planks demand a balanced budget, a low tariff, the repeal of Prohibition, “a sound currency to be preserved at all hazards,” “no interference in the internal affairs of other nations,” and “the removal of government from all fields of private enterprise except where necessary to develop public works and natural resources in the common interest.” The document concludes with a quote from Andrew Jackson: “equal rights to all; special privilege to none.”

  23. And now your Canadians are racist bastards story for today. The Liberal Party’s Toronto Star reports that some teachers in racist Ontario, are claiming that racism against blacks is running rampant in their union.

  28. As I sit in my camp room on day ten, waiting for a text for AHS to give me the right to leave, I struggled coming to grips with my emotions. This culminated in a poem which I share for you. It makes me feel no better but at least I have it out.

    Mein papers
    I wait on faceless bureaucrats to stamp me free
    It is not them I fear, but me
    I leave in shame
    Less than human a number no name
    I bow my head to the floor
    Walk out, trudge the dismal streets, open my door
    I hide in self-loathing I will never undo
    What they’ve done to me
    I’m trapped in what I’ve become
    I can no longer be free
    There is little between the monster and me
    His eyes they are dead
    Kill, humiliate, ignore
    Be quiet! Say no more!
    Less than a human a number no name
    I leave my door my head held high
    My soul left to common good
    I walk empty streets listen for sounds
    They’ve not seen the monster they’re easily found
    Their anger shows they care
    Their papers I ask for they’re not free
    Not found I lead them down
    A dark alley where they can’t be found
    I watch their blood pool beneath my feet
    Less than a human a number no name
    For the good of all I have no shame
    There is little between the monster and me
    I am the one who will never be free

  29. Infrastructure Barbie, not surprisingly, has turned out to be as grossly incompetent as Climate Barbie:

    “In March, Auditor General Karen Hogan published a report slamming the government’s $188 billion Investing in Canada Plan, warning that goals were not being met, progress was not being reported and funding was going unspent.

    “The absence of clear and complete reporting on the Investing in Canada Plan makes it difficult for parliamentarians and Canadians to know whether progress is being made against the intended objectives,” Hogan wrote.”

    1. Paying nonprofits to protest and shutdown our pipelines?
      Probably why they are not showing where the money went.

  30. Whiny indians want all development along the Grand River in Ontario stopped. They claim all the land belongs to them including the towns of Elora and Fergus.

  31. Calgary police and AHS going after Calgary Preacher who would not let them interrupt his gathering. He threw them out and the embarrassment went viral worldwide. They now have come back with a “Secret” warrant and “secret evidence” to shut the church down. Our Calgary brown shirts and AHS Gestapo on the move. Our illustrious Mayor is likely behind this. An attack on Christianity!

  33. people under 30 today were schooled under the McGinty/Wynne liberal indoctrination education system. As such they are incapable of making an informed political decision, rather they simply follow what they were taught the MSM’s adulation of Justin Trudeau . When they reach the age of 50 they may come to realize the bill of goods the liberals sold them but by then it will be too late

    1. They’re moving right in. Wonder what they’ll do for the First Nations Peopleskind?

    1. RIP Michael Collins.
      “All told, Michael Collins had an amazing ride through life, from West Point to test pilot to the Gemini program and eventually to the Moon and back. His footprints may not be on the Moon, but he certainly made his mark on history.

      Among his many, many awards were the Air Force Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Force Distinguished Service Medal, NASA Exceptional Service Award, NASA Distinguished Service Medal, Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Congressional Gold Medal, the Robert J. Collier Trophy and the Robert H. Goddard Memorial Trophy.”

      P.S.
      Would enjoy seeing The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in D.C.

      1. As Command Module pilot, Collins remained in orbit above the moon while Armstrong and Aldrin were on the surface. Had the landing gone badly or the Eagle‘s ascent stage not lifted off, he would have had the grim task of being the sole survivor of the mission, bringing the spacecraft back all alone.

        Some CMPs joked about their job. Apparently Dave Scott, during Apollo 9, said he was glad to get his crewmates Jim McDivitt and Rusty Schweickart “out of his hair” while they took the Lunar Module Spider out to test the entire system.

        In the way crews were rotated, being a CMP would have led to commanding a future mission. Scott commanded Apollo 15. John Young, the Apollo 10 CMP, was in charge of Apollo 16. Dick Gordon, Apollo 12’s CMP, was slated to run Apollo 18, but that mission, along with Apollo 19 and 20, were cancelled.

        From Apollo 15 on, the missions were oriented towards science. The CMP, rather than just keeping the Command Module functioning during the landing part of the flight, made observations of the lunar surface from orbit, something the crews on the surface were unable to do. In addition, during the return leg of the flight, the CMP went outside towards the rear of the Service Module and recovered film canisters. They had the privilege of undertaking an EVA with quite a view: the moon on one side and the Earth on the other.

        1. I forgot a well-known former CMP who went on to command a mission. Jim Lovell helped guide Apollo 8 to the moon and then went on to be in charge of Apollo 13.

        2. Your first paragraph…
          “Had the landing gone badly or the Eagle‘s ascent stage not lifted off, he would have had the grim task of being the sole survivor of the mission, bringing the spacecraft back all alone.”

          I recall when I learned that bit… huge gulp and a prayer later and then the mission was a success!

          DrBAdR — I know nothing compared to yourself about these missions. They were brave men. I think it is fitting and appropriate that Mike Collins has left this planet with the guiding light of our present full moon. Its known as a Pink Moon.

          Here is a song about this spring moon …
          It’s by Nick Drake
          “Pink Moon”
          https://youtu.be/irq959oNVww

          P.S.
          Your detailed commentary is very much appreciated! Had I known you then, I would have said: Tell me more!”

  36. Blacklock reports on Adolf’s head of IT agencies reporting to a parliamentary committee. He stated that his job is so secret that he can’t even comment on his own news releases, and federal IT locations are secret. MPs then pointed out to him that the locations are listed on Google. Also Adolf’s Heritage Minister states that the new internet law will ensure that content on the internet will follow the government’s “vision”.
