If I got what I wanted for being the 10 millionth visitor, my wife would give me a cast iron frying pan over the head.

there should be a special reward like a pin or something....

the left-wing media would kill to have 10 million hits in Canada....

Are you saying you would want a cast iron frying pan to the head?

Kate: I know I won't be the lucky number because of work! Anyways, congratulations to you in advance. You have provided all of us(even the trolls) hours of information, entertainment and laughs. I think my favorite is how you continue to show what a joke our national and international media is! Here's to the next 10,000,000!

Unbelievable! Congratulations in advance! I shall check in tomorrow about midday.

Each time I log in, the little fleabearing creature in the upper left sends a slight tingle up my leg.

Anticipation I think.

Congrats, Kate!

You have become a big fish in the relatively small waters of the Canadian blogoshpere. Your loyal minions are grateful that you use your awesome powers for good rather than Liberalism.

That was supposed to be a dog, but it turned out looking like a small dead animal!

Kate, a little history ? How it all began.

Congrats . Will be working a night shift when the clock turns over. I just get up. I guess this makes you bigger than a mammal? Anyway great site.

Sitemeter: Amazing site!
I'll have to get one when I learn to type...

I'm Visitor 9,994,763, wooh hoo!!!

Only 5237 to go!

This is Launch Control ~ We are now at V minus 5000 and counting. Pressurization of the fuel tanks continues. There is a sheduled slow-down in the launch sequence in a few hours, after which power will be transferred to the launch vehicle, and we will switch over to internal guidance systems ;-)

Wow. Nuff said.

"Kate, a little history ? How it all began."

Ron, I think the side bar says it all:

"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."

Kate were you driving your Dodge, listenimg to CBC when you got mad as hell and couldn't take it anymore?

Congratulations, in advance, Kate.

You have saved my sanity over the years that you have been here. I always know that I will find a cool, strong voice of reason when I visit here. I know that I will read things that I want to know told in a manner that I can identify with - and understand.

My favorite quote is "I guess Smalldeadanimals speaks for the people of Saskatchewan after all"*

I picture forlorn Lorne's gloomy old mug with that quote plastered on his forehead where ever he goes! It gives me great satisfaction to imagine how he rues the day he spoke those fateful words. Heh.

I wonder what kind of stats the "other" guys have? I'm 9,95,551 but if my 6/49 training is any indication, I'll be close but a number off... on all the numbers ;-(

Too bad because I would really like that signed picture of Sarah... I mean Kate holding the rifle.

One of the more remarkable achievements in Canadian political discourse ... ever. A landmark in the age of the new media of Canada and their will likely be zero mention of it in the MSM - a telling sign.

Congratulations, in advance, Kate! SDA is a remarkable site, a sanity saver.

When I discovered SDA I realized that I wasn't the only small "c" conservative in Canada--conservative in the sense of conserving all that is honourable, noble, and real in this once-great Dominion.

The feminists might be taking back the night. SDA is taking back our nation, one post at a time!

Way to go!

Kate, do you have any way of telling what percentage of your visitors are repeat callers? I never miss a day when I have access to the Internet. That is the true measure of your success with this blog -- the fact that people keep returning.

I love your graphic that goes with "Not Waiting for the Asteroid" posts. Every time I see it, I am reminded of the bird cage liner that comes into our house -- the Ottawa Citizen.

Ten Million Thank You's Kate.

So.... where we at now? Sitemeter she no work at work.

I agree with an earlier poster. Thanks Kate, you are a sanity saver. Congratulations.

Congratulations, Kate, and much continued success.

10,000,000 moments of fear for the MSM as they lose control of the agenda, as they get exposed as failures and agenda mongers.

Great work Kate.

Putting the fear of Blog into the cold black heart of Peter Pansbridge et al.

Keep up the wonderful work.

9,997,246

9,997,424 for me,,,,

Well Done Kate,,, Well Done.

Outstanding, Kate. Congratulations.

In the beginning, Kate tired of yelling at her radio, now what she has created is much more popular than most of the MSM. Well done Kate.

...pick me! pick me!

well done. I yell at the radio, tv & newspapers all the time. I've even stopped listening to CFRB, never watch CBC, except for hockey, and have canceled the Red Star & the Mope & Wail. May even stop the Nationalized Post if they don't shape up. Judging from the number of ads in the latter, they may fold before I get the chance.

This is one of the very few places where sanity can be found. Thanks to Kate & the posters.

The first 10 is the hardest. Congratulations to all.

DANG only 9,998,065

...we should reserve the 10M position for Spurwing. Miss his SQUAWKS

;-)

It doesn't seem that long ago we were getting all excited about the 1,000,000 mark!!
Good werk Kate.

Congratulations to Kate. But, this blog isn't simply for us, as individuals. A blog like this is vital for democracy.

That's because, with the MSM, whether print, radio or television, we the people have been reduced to being passive recipients of their Authoritative Wisdom. But, as Kate said - 'you don't speak for me'.

She has given us back our voice; given us back what is our right: Freedom to Think and Speak, debate, analyze, come to our own conclusions.

Blogs are extremely powerful, because they reduce the authoritative might of the one-way MSM to..well, only once voice among us all.

Blogs are powerful. They spread information and knowledge. They self-correct. Post anything incorrect and in one nanosecond, someone will correct you. Post something ignorant and biased, and in another nanosecond you'll be called to account.
None of that happens with the MSM. It continues to pontificate its misinformation and bias.

So, thanks Kate, for this blog, which is a powerful force in enabling Canadian democracy.

Will the winner receive a free toaster? Now that would be awesome

9,998,030
Thanks a ten million Kate!Congrats!

You are a daily (well...alright...several times a day) stop for me.I am so thankful for your comment as well as the links you provide so that we can shun the MSM and let them know they cannot tell us what to think!!Hope you can continue for another 10 million.
This past w/e I met a few Americans who are involed with the World Congress of Families..and they are readers as well!

God Bless you Kate!

Eskimo...looked like a Schnauser to me!

If "new" is the winner,will he have to split the prize five or six ways?Wile I dom't agree wiht Kate,I an gald I am weiner.

9,998,606... dang, close but no cigar.

I agree with h ryan, what happens if new, mos or whatever handle du jour he/she goes by wins? Free tickets to the next Liz May Day Parade?

Well here comes the post count boosters - oops, I think I just did that myself. LOL

Ye got er wrong folks.

We all became winners the day that Kate started yelling back at the radio.

Congratulations Kate,
I visit your site regularly to acquire my information and to read and sometimes participate in the discussions.
an excellent site.
MSM is passe but still does not accept the need to change.

Congratulations Kate, somewhere a lib blogger is turning green with envy.

Missed it by that much…

Thank-you Kate for all you do. Your work on the blog is very much appreciated by more people than you'll ever know.

Like they say, the first 10,000,000 is always the hardest!

Good luck and godspeed!

That site meter is neat. I find it interesting that on the hits map there is a lot of dots in southern Ontario and even at the centre of the urinalverse. Go figure.

...ok folks we're down to the final 100!

Yes I have no life ;-)

10:19 AB time

...ok down to the final 100!

I think that its still nine hundred and some to go.

oh crap, you're right Gus. Math wasn't my strong point.

Thank You Kate and congratulations on (a future) 10,000,000 visitors.

Keep up the good work :D

...Oh great thanks Gus

;-)

...guess that means I have to put away my party hat for another 900 now.

I noticed just yesterday that the ten millionth visit was imminent. Meant to remark, but stuff came up.

Very impressive. All I've got is nearly 140,000 since Sept. 15, 2005.

Good work, K.

*sigh*

...guess I'd better get back to work doing corporate tax evasion.

Seminar?..In Sakatoon?
That's where PMSH is today....

CS! 140,000, cool.

I got 70,000 but 69,999 is me checking back to see who's been there...I think my mom was the other person.

Well, it's not bad, Tomax. I seem to grow my regular readership a little each year. Right now I'm averaging 200 visits a day. Nice to know that I have at least a cult following, however relatively small...

...are we there yet?

Seminar in Toronto.

9,999,400

I'm a sucker for watching odometers roll over. Might want to avoid the roads in the next week or so.

gratz on 10 mill Kate. You do us all proud.

9,999,407 ,,, dang, I gota go to a meeting. Good Grief ! They are kiln me the meeting is about personal hygiene, jezuuuus, all they have to do is walk down the hall and you can smell the ones who don't bath, like the cat from the middle-,,,, oh nevermind, ya'll get the picture.

Go Kate go !!!!!

...are we there yet?

Today across Canada...

There is very little work getting done as everyone is watching the counter tick.

Even Richard War*an and the CHRC are probably adding to the count. That goes to the "little work" statement.

Congrats Kate.

Total 9,999,551

CERDIP 9,999,551

...that's so old news

;-)

...come on everyone, keep hitting refresh, I gotta go to the doctors in 15 mins.

...and Kate herself checking in from the east!! Hope Toronto is good for you Kate. It does have some redeeming charactaristics.

wouldn't it be great if Kate got the 10M hit herself? Why, she should take herself out to dinner to celebrate just for being within 100....

Congrats, and is the next benchmark 20M or 100M?

...just another minute honey (wife's calling)

Just another minute...Honey, just another minute please...

...got...to...keep...watching...got...to keep refreshing...

got to.......................................................................................

...DANG! Gotta go.

Wife was asking what I'd win if we hit 10M - 'a small dead animal'?

Well, here it is:

*******************************
CONGRATULATIONS KATE!
*******************************

Kate's in Toronto?

What'll she title the post about her visit to the Big Smoke, "Behind Enemy Lines"? :b

...are we there yet?

Looks like I'm hooped at being 10,000,000. Company just arrived and my wife will kill me if I sit in here any longer. Good luck everyone!

Gee, tomax7, I thought I was bad waiting for the big one.

looks like Kate was right in her prediction although I'm not sure if Saskatchewan is 3 or 4 hours later than me.

ohhh...we've got it bad people!
I was supposed to be out running errands...lol...
Was everyone this interested in Y2000?

Toronto? I'm so sorry.

* HAPPY NEW MEDIA !! *

Bingo!!!

10...

9,999,966... I'd take this for a poker hand but as far as being #10 mill, c'est la vie

D'oh! Missed it by 8!!!

I got the 10,000,001 screen. Anyone closer?

10,000,001 Doh!

And the winner is from Charlotte, North Carolina!!!!!!

1,000,001 bummer

Darn, I had 9999997, then 10000001.

Check sitemeter, it is someone from South Carolina.

Man, that was close,,, I had 10,000,000 for a 1/2 of a nano second and then it went to 10,000,001.

Missed by a hair. Congrats Kate. I guess I should get back to philosophy of logic now...

10,000,001! First prize was a trip to Delisle, Sask. Second prize was two trips... (Albertan joke.:))

I got 10,000,001 as well. I have a screen shot too.

What's going on?

10,000,001 bummer

It was one of these three:

cgocable.net 1:18:31 pm

comcast.net 1:18:28 pm *this one most likely
rogers.com 1:18:26 pm

The 10,000,000th was at 1:18:15 pm if you care.

It was one of these three:

cgocable.net 1:18:31 pm

comcast.net 1:18:28 pm *this one most likely
rogers.com 1:18:26 pm

It was from Bell south. North Carolina.

What's going on is possible a huge "hit" problem when we all tried to post at the same time...lol...
Everything froze here!
Let's party!
Hope you can whoop it up in TO, Kate!

I got 10,000,001 by coming from outside the site.

I had it up but couldn't take a screen shot on my windows box. Anyway, it was at 1:18 pm Toronto time. But it was from the city/area of Charlotte NC.

I got a screen shot of 10 000 028.

Dang.

I guess I can't ask Kate to bear my children.

:(

I got 10,000,001 and a screen shot as well.

Whoopee!

One voice can make a difference. One voice added to 10,000,000 voices can make a HUGE difference.

Brava, Kate! Bravo, SDA! Bravo, SDA-ers!!

Changing Canada one post at a time.

I am from Charlotte, NC...what time was the magic hit?

10,000,488

Zis is ze litres of beer consumed for Oktoberfest nicht war?

One voice is a whisper...

10 million voices is a roar.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!

Thanks for being here Kate.

Would have been funny if Wornout Kantsellit would have tagged the 10.000.000 th hit. He will never have to worry about it on his blog.

Congratulations, Kate.

A truely impressive feat, congratulations Kate. This should be cause for some kind of award.

Way to Go Kate, Another milestone reached in one of the Best Blogs going. You should be very proud as we are of you.

And she was in Ontario when it happened!
Kate, I'm waving at you from across the lake, thanks for all your hard work and thanks to all the regular posters.

The warped irony of it all eh wyatt?

Congrats oh web mistress!

HURRAY!!!!!

Rob C: WK always says that the traffic at SDA is mainly the same old hard core few who return over and over and over again apparently about 10 million times. He forgot to throw in his own 10,000 little peaks. lol Thanks for the memories Kate and here's to 10 mil more.

Congratulations Kate. I for one have enjoyed your view on the world. Have enjoyed reading the comments and participating in conversations with the commentators. Three years ago I heard about your site when you did an interview on the radio. At that time I did not even know about the blogsphere. Thanks again Kate. Thanks to all the commenter's here that have commented and provided links and opinions.

Congratulations, Kate. Outstanding. By reassuring me I'm not alone this site has given me the courage to speak out at work and at play, with some gratifying results. The stranglehold of the msm is broken. Viva la revolucion!

Kate you have acheived many milestones over the years but this is one of the best. I can't comprehend how much blood sweat and tears that went into this site over the years but I am sure I speak for a lot of people when I say Thank you. Well done. Also thanks to Vit, he is one interesting and sometimes freaky dude. Also Lance for stepping in. My word something that WORKS!!!

Congrats, Kate for world's best blog.

Keep up the good work.

Congrats, Kate for world's best blog.

Keep up the good work.

Brava, Kate!!

Honestly, you've saved the sanity of a whole lot of us here. Without SDA, we'd be whistling in the wind and going nuts, instead of speaking our minds, sharing information, being the disloyal opposition of the MSM and all its Orc-like cohorts, and making a difference to the public life of our benighted dominion. What a magnificent achievement!

Well done, and many, many thanks, Kate.

Way to go Kate:

Congratulations Kate!

">Kate's First Post

Congrats Kate!

10,000,000 hits, Conservatives in power, majority looming.

You were no small part of this success.

We all owe you a debt of gratitude.

Now if all visitors so far would just send 10 cents.....

A much deserved congrats, Kate.

Where are the usual trolls? They must hate this.

moslem women not blog not respectful

also i think stefan dion good prime minister

carbon tax also good

ten million not big compared to muslim population. 1.87 billion.

iwrin happi?

A belated congrats and thank you, Kate.

Before sda, I really felt like I was living in a Proustian cork-lined room, so alienated did I feel with my unorthodox conservative-libertarian views. I knew NO conservatives except for my business partner and certainly no women conservatives. I came here thru a Steyn mention, and when I saw your reference to talking back to the radio I knew I found a island of sanity.

And what a community you've created here, where I feel humbled by the great number of very smart folks who regularly post here.

Yes, MND, and, as usual, I agree with you: thanks to Kate for providing the fertile ground for the strong community that's blossomed here.

Well done Kate.

Thanks

K

Congrats Kate.
Happy 10 million visitors.

congratulations KATE on the 1M+.

A big Bravo Zulu to you Kate. In 4.5 short years,you have let us know that not everybody in Canuckistan has their butt stuck up their rear-end.

Hows about putting a macdonalds sign with #served, or something.
Awesome & congrats Kate.

...are we there yet?

Congratulations!

(I notice I'm fashionably late, as always.)

Gee Kate...

Maybe I will claim to be the 10 Millionth.

Will you have my children? LOL

Kate:

In my mind, you are a national treasure (and pretty hot to boot).

Over the last couple of years, I have had the pleasure of topping up your `tip jar`because I believe that no-one can get the message out as well as you.

The traffic stats clearly demonstrate that. Rest assured you will have my personal and financial support in the future.

Darn. To think that I was in meetings all day and I missed it. Congratulations Kate!!!!

Anybody seen any coverage of this elsewhere in the blogosphere?

in tenebris lux!

Congrats Kate! Stumbled over here from the Shotgun back in early spring 04 I believe, before the first Martin minority.

By the way, your archives are from Feb 04 onward and there is a lone 2003 archive for the month of May. The url opens up to display your stalker's band SFH webpage with a subliminal message.

Congrats,welld one. 10,000,000 comments that prove that we will not be indoctrinated without a fight. Best blog ever.

Given the question, yes.

SDA: Where few stood against many.
