  1. If you click on the Facebook icon, it says “dogs working sheep” – from NZ Farming. And no need to feel ignorant. Took me a bit too, and I’ve actually been to New Zealand and seen dogs working sheep 🙂

    1. I quickly surmised that it was a flock of sheep being herded by a dog, judging by how the mass moved in a somewhat co-ordinated manner. If you look closely, you can see the dog quickly running back and forth.

        1. @ 1:00 Ha ha good Slap Shot

          Bet the dog breed is Border Collie, they’re workaholics.

        2. The old joke the Aussies tell about the Kiwis:
          “they always buy their Wellingtons on the large side to make sure there’s room for the sheep’s hind legs”

    2. I finally played the video, which I had surmised was dogs herding sheep … it is testimony to “the working dog category” (about the only one I care about at Westminster).

      But the video immediately raised a couple questions in my mind …
      1. Who tasked a satellite to create a video of herding sheep? I guess NZ’s version of the CIA has more important things to do than track Muzlims.
      2. What is that building they’re being herded toward? A shearing barn? (cute) or a slaughterhouse? (the horror, the horror). Mmmmm tasty lamb chops … Mmmmmmm

      1. Kenji – The sporting group, terrier group, and hound group are also working dogs, just with different jobs.

        1. No argument from me that a Jack Russell Terrier is a working dog … best varmit flusher evah!

        2. Don’t forget that dachshunds were originally bred for hunting badgers, which is why they’re shorter in height and have a long, flexible body.

          All the ones that were in the family showed some of that ancestry. Most of them would go crazy whenever they smelled a gopher or rabbit and the last one, whose favourite activity is playing “fetch”, would stubbornly search for the toy if he didn’t see where it landed. If he located it, but couldn’t reach it, would, say, try digging for it if it was (accidentally on purpose) hidden beneath a couch cushion.

  3. A very poor job

    That’s the only way I can describe my ongoing attempts to avoid the media, at least this week. I’ll be going on with Alex Jones today at 1PM Central, and with Jesse Lee Peterson tomorrow. You can probably imagine what Alex and I will be discussing. Please note that these appearances do not mean that I have changed my mind about interviews or that I want to be inundated with podcast requests and so forth.

    The problem is that a lot of people took the bite from the apple, you know, it was tempting to use the platforms that they offer you. It was tempting to use Twitter because Twitter allowed people like Mike Cernovich and Jack Posobiec and many others to quickly build up audiences much more rapidly than they could do in an organic fashion on their own platforms. So the problem is nobody bothered to do it, everybody wanted to use these platforms that were constructed because they made it easy for you.

    Well, guess what, it’s not easy anymore, so what? There’s a lot of us who have been dealing with this stuff for over ten years. If you’re a right-winger who happened to write fiction, you’ve been banned from most publishing houses for about the last 15 years, all right, so none of this is new. I mean, people sometimes ask how come you’re so calm about this, that, and the other thing, and it’s because I’m not surprised by any of this. All of this was inevitable. The moment that they felt that they were sufficiently in control, they were going to act like this, and so you know that the time for taking advantage of playing around and using their platforms is over.

    1. Umm. Ok.

      Who are you? You seem like a pretty important person.

      I was interviewed once. It was 2005. Sask homecoming. Went back to my hometown. The interview was taped and played several times on the community cable station.

      Alex Jones pales in comparison to that.

  4. My guess: Australian cattle dogs. A relative of mine in rural Ontario was a bit eccentric and had about 100 of them until the county ordered spaying ( i named them the house dogs, the yard dogs, the barn dogs and the fielders). They definitely herded my car and me and the cows. The owner knew each and every one by name and their lineages.

  5. AGW FAIL.

    Red-green Blobbers blab, Wind is free.

    A pox on their turbines.

    “President Trump Mocks Subsidised Wind Energy”

    “h/t Breitbart – “That’s the end of that windmill” – a video clip of President Trump mocking wind power, criticising the ongoing green mass murder of birds, and miming shooting a wind turbine at a New York Fundraiser.”

    “History will not judge kindly all the greens who stood by while birds were slaughtered in the name of saving the environment.

    One of my first lessons while learning to fly was that eagles and other large raptors don’t get out of the way. Millions of years of evolution has taught eagles especially that they are the lords of the sky, that nothing can challenge them when they are in the air. Its not that the eagles can’t see the turbine blades, they simply cannot grasp that the lump of metal or fibreglass whooshing towards them poses any kind of threat.

    As a pilot I can evade large birds. But wind turbines are static, they have no capacity to avoid a collision.

    As long as wind turbines are being built, the slaughter of endangered large birds of prey will continue.”

    1. Here’s the part I just love about this bird grinding era ….. WHO DO YOU THINK EATS ALL THE RODENTS AND INSECTS WHO ARE AFTER OUR FOOD SUPPLY …. Crops people! …. What then? …. Spray an ocean of bug killer on the crops. Great planning as usual from the caring left.

      Let’s kill the birds, then poison ourselves to save … what?

  6. Oh Shiny Pony

    “Almost all of the Saudi students, both medical and non-medical, are fully funded by the Saudi government to study in Canada, and Western will lose that tuition money when they leave.”

    Every one of those students where paying international tuition which is a lot higher than the subsidized Canadian rate. And this is not some basket weaving faculty its the ones that are proven money makers for Western.
    Also recall that their teaching hospital was the same one that refused to allow Harper a campaign visit when he was opposition leader, so this is a very big L campus.

    https://lfpress.com/news/local-news/western-university-hit-harder-than-expected-by-saudi-student-exodus

    1. The whining over the impending departure of Saudi medical students (and, ahem, all their lovely money) has become more than a little annoying.

      Notwithstanding our floundering Dear Leader and his student council of a government in Ottawa, it’s the Saudis, not Canada, who caused this “exodus” and the students are their problem. Period.

      My words to these students? “Have a good trip! Bye now!”

      1. The irony that a campus that slavishly repeats the liberal talking points is now feeling the down side of juthtins bad faith acts.
        The longer this keeps up the more obvious it becomes that Juthtin has not the will or the ability to back up any threat he makes.

    2. The Saudi medical students represent up to 10% of the medical students but pay four times more than a Canadian student. The total loss to the medical program could exceed $8 million, which could represent about one third of their money received through tuition – pretty substantial.

      1. From the article: “We really value the diversity that all of these students bring to our campus, so it’s sad.”

        “diversity” really means “money” (= 3x > than Canadian student). Snort, snort.

        No different in the U.S. Diversity means money.

      2. Thats a huge cut to the university budget.
        If those spots go empty they not only lose on the tuition but from what I believe that if a campus does not have full enrollment their funding is subject to review by the provincial ministry. Now isn’t it an odd coincidence that the provincial government is now lead by Doug Ford, who would be more than happy to unlease the AG on Western. The same campus that got in some hot water over the contract it gave Chakma.

      3. Starve the universities. They are nothing more than propaganda machines for the left. Not so much the STEMers, but the vast majority in liberal arts are snowflake whacks who have been cheated.

    3. Maybe with the Saudis gone there will be enough room in our universities to train Canadians to be doctors, so we don;t have to import them from the third world. It is unethical to poach doctors from the third world, because the countries that they leave from need them,

      1. The deadline for applications has passed.
        Looks like the emergency at University hospital is going to be short staffed of folks fluent in Arabic. Now who might get upset if their spouse can only be examined by a non-muslim doctor?

      2. Big up vote from here!!!!!!!

        Keep reading stories on Canadians going to the US to get residencies, and their paperwork getting screwed up by our Gov’t., who really should be doing residencies here.

        This is one time I would fully support any party for stepping up and getting more Canadians into these spots, deadlines or no deadlines, and getting a handle on our own doctor shortage issues. This would be good money spent!

    4. I am happy the Saudis are exiting our once great country. Now, what can we do to get the rest of the Muslims in Canada to get the F*** out and NOT come back?

      Perhaps, send Turdoo and family to the middle east to do a costume run?

      And what about building the East-West pipeline so we can buy our own oil.

      I am really sick of incompetent childish and evil government.

      1. This is the corner juthtin has put himself into. He cannot blame Harper or Trump or any of the liberal go to’s they trot out when their plans go off the rails.
        He owns this.
        The lovely irony is that to extricate himself from this problem is that he must sacrifice a liberal sacred cow.
        If he recants and apologizes to the Saudi’s, he cannot plausibly claim any moral high ground on human rights.
        If he stops the sale of those military vehicles he puts a lot of folks on the unemployment line unless he signs an untendered order of the same magnitude for the Canadian army.
        He puts an embargo on Saudi Oil, its re-approve Energy East (which by the way to get it started need only allow the flow reversal) so the oil can flow from the west, which will cause a not so subtle rift between him and his inner circle.
        So in order to maintain any cred he is forced to do nothing and hope for a convenient excuse to call an early election before it gets worse.
        So I have to ask, can it get any worse for the Sockmonkey?

        1. Yes, it could get worse if his supporters start to notice these things. My guess is they won’t.

          1. Its hard for them to ignore it when it impacts them directly. In this instance its in the heart of London-North Centre. The riding is home of the Peterson clan and the liberal MP is a professor of political science from Western, this directly effects them. But leaves the rest untouched. This forces them to look in the mirror and ask, if Saudi money is blood money why is a bastion of liberalism (our “free” healthcare system that makes us Canadian) taking money from them?
            What level of cognitive dissonance do they have to engage in to keep from seeing this?

  7. Here is a typical hit piece by the grumpy CBC, this time on Maxime Bernier.

    Bernier has almost no immigrants in his riding, he used to work for Harper and he owns a lot of expensive real estate. Therefore he is wrong to say that Trudeau is engaged in “extreme multiculturalism” by letting too many immigrants into the country.

    http://www.cbc.ca/news/thenational/national-today-newsletter-maxime-bernier-twitter-trudeau-diversity-1.4783119

    Fake News.

    1. Clearly intended as a hit piece on Bernier. Problem is (for the CBC) that too many Canadians agree with his remarks. This is an important issue and the CBC is trying to shut down discussion.

    2. Yet not one person who actually watches and still believes the CBC would vote conservative.
      Anyone that is conservative or would support Max isn’t going to see that as anything but fake news.

    1. He will probably get Jasal Atwal to read the statement live on Twitter and demand India establish an independent Khalistan

    2. I doubt PM Bumgrabber realizes that the f’n Pakistanis were hiding Bin Laden, that they supplied and still supply arms to the Taliban and every other group of Islamist dog shit-eating terrorists. The ‘man’ is as vacuous as they come. And no he doesn’t know how many millions died in the separation wars and how the whole purpose of Pakistani “independence” was/is a Muslim state – phuck every one else because Nobody, not even ‘first nations’ Canadians, are as bigoted as Pakistanis. And nobody – and they admit to it – espouses more conspiracy theories than those same people who inhabit one of the biggest, deepest, raunchiest shitholes in the galaxy. If you put a wall around it and filled it with liquid shit, they wouldn’t notice. Its too bad India didn’t have nukes at the time of the war.

    “More Foreign Steel Is Being Sent to Canada Amid Trump’s Tariffs”

    “With Canada expected to announce consultations Tuesday on potential measures to limit steel transshipment, there’s evidence countries are already upping their exports to Canada.

    Imports of iron and steel from countries other than the U.S. have spiked, coinciding with President Donald Trump’s imposition of 25 percent tariffs on foreign steel from Canada and other countries. Canada received C$3.23 billion ($2.47 billion) worth of steel and iron from non-U.S. countries in the second quarter, a 16 percent increase from a year earlier, according to Statistics Canada data.”

  10. I see others beat me to it; I immediately thought; the dog is the main stream media and the sheep are the public.

    vote trudeau; yes dog!

    hate trump; yes dog!

    love muslim terrorists and deny they commit acts of terror ; yes dog !

    if it is abnormaly cold this month it is because of global warming ; yes dog !

  11. Yesterday and today the National Post has been busy reporting on the spat between NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and Alberta Premier Rachel Notley. The former opposes the proposed (and now federally-owned) pipeline, and the latter supports it. This should be big news, since both are NDP leaders. But I checked the respective CBC and Globe and Mail web pages, and lo and behold both have fully censored the story. The corporate media doesn’t want to criticize their NDP crony pals.

  12. my dear brother the hunting advocate took his border collie with him.
    the dog would critique his success rate. no shyt.
    I got a part mastiff which just last week paid for his keep when some drunkard leaped out from behind a shrub, clearly intending harm, and 2 seconds later when the canine came into view ‘claimed’ he ‘thought’ I was ‘someone else’.

    my boy got a huge pc of leftover steak when we got home.

    1. @3:33 pm B A
      Perhaps they ought to rename the holiday: ” Mi’kmaq Day” and be done… after the Native Tribe or any other local Tribe. A.K.A. “Micmac” as per the Maine U.S.A. spelling, as a second selection.

      Pretty soon everything will be renamed…we won’t recognize Canada.
      Ha! U.N. CANADA…perhaps? Ha, ha! The United Nations would be proud.

      The Francophones would be so confused they’d wonder why we’re saying ” one ” the number. Ha! Yes.

    Kudos to Conservative Ontario Premier Doug Ford.

    …-

    “Ontario government caps off summer session by passing bill to slash Toronto council size”

    “… capping off a rare and tumultuous summer legislative sitting that saw the newly elected Progressive Conservatives forge ahead on several key campaign promises.”

    “The governing Progressive Conservatives – who won a majority in the spring election – were nonetheless able to pass the bill as well as omnibus legislation that included back-to-work measures for striking staff at York University and cancelled a green energy project.

    They also introduced a bill to scrap Ontario’s cap-and-trade carbon pricing system, which was one of Premier Doug Ford’s campaign pledges. The bill will be debated further in the fall session, which is expected to begin Sept. 24.

    The Tories also announced plans to revoke an updated sex-ed curriculum, wind down a basic income pilot project, halve a planned increase to social assistance rates, lower the minimum price of beer and roll out private sector sales of cannabis.”

      Ha ha! Those funny beavers!
      Have you been to the Beaver Dam Flats Park in Calgary?
      Very pretty and an historical spot for the warmer climate in winter. A beautiful bird sanctuary, right in the city.
