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."

Not letting a good crisis go to waste.
“We’re getting more severe storms more frequently,” Trudeau said Saturday.
He said more resilient infrastructure is needed to be able withstand extreme weather events, saying a one in a 100 year storm might start to hit every few years because of climate change.
“Things are only getting worse,” Trudeau said.
he’s using a 100 year storm wrong.

100 is too big of a number for that fool to comprehend, as his IQ is only about 85 or less
Damn, you’re generous in evaluating him!
Gas went up 60 cents a gallon this afternoon.
As for tropical islands… that’s kinda the price you pay for having beautiful weather 95% of the time.
Even if one were a stupid enough Canadian to believe Trudeau’s outright fabrications, what’s your plan? You could eliminate the entire country, and its oh-so-dangerous plant food emissions, and China and India would replace them in a matter of months.
Idiots.
I had the misfortune of hearing some snippets about Fiona from the “news” today. They were bleating about it being the lowest-pressure storm ever … presumably they had to tout that because recorded winds weren’t the highest. One numbskull also claimed that while the storm wasn’t a hurricane anymore, it was still as powerful as ever. Liars, nonstop liars.
The wind speed was over 100mph. Class1 hurricane wind speed is 75mph.
What would the moron know?
Jushitin plan:
“Given the tremendous loss, we’ll make sure the Maritime provinces are protected by safe and effective alternatives to fossil fuels that led to this disaster.”
Reality, a few years down:
“Tropical storm Vladimira’s landfall in NS and NB toppled 50% of the wind towers and ripped solar panels from the ground, making a miserable winter much worse for millions of people.”
If it’s climate change, I guess it will be worse next year.. Guess we will see.
Emissions from Justin Trudeau’s and John Kerry’s flying caused the storm.
sarc off.
Actually you can tell Climate Change isn’t a real problem because the lead gang greens keep flying, have multiple homes, multiple gas guzzlers etc.
Seems like a logical place to build houses. Right on the shore of the North Atlantic Ocean.
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to each and every victim. No one deserves this.
(I know all too well, about 3 years ago, I had the unfortunate experience of a tornado ripping through my neighborhood. I never expected to have the largest tree in my yard *inside* the house instead of *outside*.)
I’m not gonna do anything to politicize this. Bad weather happens. It has always happened, and those who try to track statistics have yet to find any meaningful correlation between frequency/severity of events now, and what happened 150 years ago.
Statistics is the art of creating datasets to answer questions that cannot be answered. And it makes insurance companies rich.
Anyone can make something look like a duck by painting it.
My heart goes out to those who suffered at the hands of this storm. Does anyone know of any credible aid organization one could support to help mitigate the impact of this storm on our fellow countrymen?

I would suggest Samaritan’s Purse Canada. From what I have been able to gather, this is an organization which will actually put boots on the ground to do something positive. The Red Cross, on the other hand, tends to keep funds back to help in “the future”. We learned this the hard way during the High River flood of 2013 and the Fort Mac fire of 2016 when funds which those donating thought would go to actually help victims of these events didn’t quite get there.
Donate to the liberal party. They’re taking measures to ensure this kind of thing never happens again.
This tweet from Fisheries and Ocean Canada which they wisely took down after some blowback.
“As well, if you find lobsters washed up on shore after the storm, remember it is illegal to harvest them. Simply leave them there.”
What a bunch of sweethearts. 13th century Ministry of Fish and Wildlife. “Yes, you may on occasion find deer dead in the forest but do remember it’s still considered poaching the King’s deer and as such, punishable by death.”

I think at one point yesterday the entire province of PEI was without power. They, Cape Breton, and Newfoundland took the brunt of this one. Mainland NS had a lot of power lost (75, 80% I think) but less wind damage.
One notable landmark along the highway between Truro & Halifax, a tree estimated to be 300 years old, fell victim:
https://twitter.com/Len_Wagg_photo/status/1573670189555662848?t=reEtCztzGZJVCtaBP2CSKQ&s=19
Personally, we lost power for about 12 hours. Could have been worse. My sister retained power so we got a hot meal over there before our lights came back.
I bet the same thing happened to the Tree that fell 300 years ago. Going out on a limb for that, but not really branching off. Don’t bark at me.
Don’t worry, rebuilding will begin asap.
With contracts to SNC Lavalin, and Irving companies.
Sunny ways ahead….
