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."

I wonder if she will mysteriously escape from Canada: https://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/bail-hearing-for-huawei-exec-enters-third-day-in-vancouver-court
Maybe she’ll break out of jail the same way Lucien Rivard did:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucien_Rivard
I’m sure that a garden hose will be accidentally on purpose just lying around….
I see a 2nd Canadian has been detained in China. Our man chrystal freeloader was at odds trying to explain how these things might been related.
Canada is going to be pilloried by the chicoms. Although we have taken the high road the chicoms are pissed. They fallout will be significant.
Good thing we’ve got chrystal in our corner…
Lets hope our little Nazi girl is wearing a dress thats two or three sizes too small for her in order to deal with JTards favorite dictatorship… force herself into a tiny dress, tilt her head like a curious dog and in her best condescending tone lecture those Chinamen real good… that should help… if all else fails buy everyone a Popsicle.
“Back off or she’ll wear a short skirt. No amount of brain bleach will make you un-see it!”
How can we lose with Chrystia and Justin? Perhaps if they were to pay a visit to that polluted place and wear some traditional Chinese theatrical costumes from the Trudeau tickle trunk they’d win them over.
The Liberal Party Trudeau/Chretien/Martin connections to Communist China are long and Deep. The Communists have made them wealthy. When Communist China was collapsing before it opened to the west.
PET kept them alive with Free Canadian Wheat. The Chinese bought Millions of bushels of CWB wheat, on credit and kept them fed and the Communist Party in power.
PET then wrote off the Chinese debt against the taxpayers of Canada.
Liberals and Chinese Communists connections here. http://chinawatchcanada.blogspot.com/2016/07/jean-chretien-and-sidewinder-report.html
Ha ha you two are funny. The Prime Minister Poutine (Poutine=cheezy greasy French fry) and his stuffed Boudin Sausage.
Thanks for that post.BA-R. I remember the Rivard case and Guy Favreau well, hadn’t heard of it in decades. We needed a reminder that Liberal corruption didn’t start with Pierre Trudeau,he just accelerated it.
Ms.Meng,however, will NOT escape using a garden hose to climb a wall! Slimy French Canadian mafiosos might, but not genteel Asian billionairesses!
I continue to be Shocked!, Shocked,I tell you! That our Beloved Prime Minister Justin “Groper” Trudeau has become nothing more than a lapdog to The Evil Trump and those damned Yankees, arresting a Chinese woman who broke NO laws in Little Canader!
IF HARPER had done this, the media would be in full tilt outrage 24/7,but so far, Our Beloved PM has had nary an msm criticism over this.
Alinsky always said: hold them to their own rules. I have posted this on every left wing site I can find, much to their discomfort. I repeat, Justin Trudeau is nothing more than a toady to Prezy-dint Trump on this case. I hope the sonofabitch loses every vote of Chinese- Canadians over this outrage!
Are there no scared,scarred, seared or even SACRED cows any more?
NOW CALIFORNIA WANTS TO TAX TEXT-MESSAGING?
State regulators have been ginning up a scheme to charge a fee for text messaging on mobile phones to help support programs that make phone service accessible to the poor.
I remember the Rivard case and Guy Favreau well, hadn’t heard of it in decades. We needed a reminder that Liberal corruption didn’t start with Pierre Trudeau,he just accelerated it.
It was Rivard who ultimately saddled us with PET and, subsequently, Prinz Dummkopf.
Favreau, quite rightly, resigned. But Lester Pearson, being somewhat of a nebbish and afraid to get Quebec mad at him, insisted he needed a French presence in his cabinet. He brought in Jean Marchand, Gerard Pelletier, and guess who.
We’ve been paying for that ever since. Thanks a lot for nothing, Monsieur Rivard.
Don,
Say…thumbs up for
stylistic sibilance! Wink!
“I wonder if she will mysteriously escape from Canada”
Helicopter from her backyard. 45 minutes to Chinese freighter 12 miles off coast. Freighter equipped with 100 marines, sea to sea missiles and anti-aircraft weapons.
Helicopter escapes work only in Charles Bronson movies.
And in K Bec penitentiaries.

I forgot about that one. I recall that they might have been inspired by that Bronson movie.
@12:27 about escapes? And there’s this one too B A !

Only in Quebec, you say? Yeah, I remember that one, too.
Did everybody else get their Liberal Party Christmas cards, complete with a message of “real change” from Herr Prinz Dummkopf?
I was away at my house in B. C. for the past few days. When I arrive back in Edmonton and opened my post box, only to find my little red envelope, some of the tenants on that floor learned some new swear words.
So what if he’s someone who literally goes out and saves the lives of rural people in an underserved part of the country where there’s no hospital and only two ambulances – one of which is in need of a lot of maintainance? He’s a badthinker and that means he has to go.

So called scientists also lost a herd of caribou numbering some 250,000 in our northern territory. Then, surprise, surprise, there they were just over the next hill.
It takes an ijicayted scientist to figure that out, doesn’t it?
More Climate Change BS
“Scientists were alarmed”…uhuh.
…..and the Seas shall rise, polar bears shall become extinct and the planet shall warm by 5 Degrees C in 20 years…..and all of it.?? COMPLETE Unmitigated BULLSHIT predicated on a purposely weaponized harmless gas that we in all honesty, need much much MORE of.
Am beyond fed up with the continual spewing of the Big Lie designed to destroy Western Capitalism.
They’re very concerned about reaching a tipping point when the public fully realizes the rent seeking scam that CAGW is.
Hint: it will tip away from their phony baloney jobs and its funding, in favour of jail time or ostracization for them.
I call it the Gore wobble.
Who would have thought that polar bears would be “deniers”?

also brings back memories for me. I was a grad student at UBC when that song was on the charts. There used to be an FM pop music station based just across the border in Bellingham, Washington that I liked to listen to. This was one piece that was often played.
That station had a nice format. I think its programming was pre-packaged because it didn’t have obnoxious DJs and I think their ads came on after a certain time interval or x many songs. I can’t remember its callsign but I don’t think it’s around any more, which is a pity. It was pleasant to listen to while I was debugging computer code.
I think the station you used to listen to was KNWR @ 104.9 FM : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KAFE
I attended UBC between 1982-87 and also used to enjoy listening to this station.
That sounds familiar. Thanks. I was at UBC a bit earlier and I found that station accidentally when I was tuning across the dial one day.
There was, however, an FM station in Vancouver that used to have an excellent 2-hour classical music program starting at 8 or 9 PM most weeknights. (I think it was called Starlight Concert.) All I remember of the station’s callsign was CHQ but I can’t remember the last letter. I’ll have to look through my old editions of the World Radio TV Handbook to see if it was listed.
One of the hosts of that show ran The Magic Flute, the classical music record shop in Kitsilano. At that time, it had one of the best selections of recordings in North America, all of them either vinyl or cassette tapes. Compact disks weren’t on the market until 3 or 4 years later.

There is nothing like “Sailing” by Christopher Cross, it’s the song that sticks in one’s memory… of course.
“Ride Like The Wind” which came from the same album is also memorable. Note @ ~ 4:44, the guitar playing is magical. Terrific seeing these now older rockers squint and get all sweaty!
ba ra ra, dut daa, –
…..ride like the wind…
Yup. I remember that one being on KNWR’s playlist as well.
All I remember of the station’s callsign was CHQ but I can’t remember the last letter.
I did a bit of digging on the Internet and it looks like the station in question was CHQM.
Child miners aged four living a hell on Earth so YOU can drive an electric car: Awful human cost in squalid Congo cobalt mine that Michael Gove didn’t consider in his ‘clean’ energy crusade
Sky News investigated the Katanga mines and found Dorsen, 8, and Monica, 4
The pair were working in the vast mines of the Democratic Republic of Congo
They are two of the 40,000 children working daily in the mines, checking rocks for cobalt

L- So driving an electric car is a heck of a lot more inhumane than wearing a fur coat.
It’s ethical oil(West. Canada) vs. small children labouring in underground mines for cobalt for a electric car.
Small children working in cobalt mines in Africa, so rich people can drive electric cars.
Now that’s a meme the auto-makers didn’t imagine having to wear around their necks.
Buy a gas powered automobile and save a 3rd world child from an underground cobalt mine in Africa.
It’s clean green Suzuki cobalt.
Hey, Francois Legault, this is the dirty power Quebec wishes to foist on us? Go eat some mercury contaminated fish from one of your heavy metal power dams. While you’re at it have some salt water sewage fish from Quebec or B.C.
I no longer buy stuff from Quebec, not BC fish or wine.
Joe it always amazed me how Quebec always got a free pass on CO2 emissions and Methane emissions from their massive Hydro Projects and all attention was focused on so called dirty oil.
When even the UN studies show that Hydro Dams produce up to 3.5 times more greenhouse gas than Fossil Fuel.
When will Canadians demand that Quebec shutdown their dirty filthy Hydro Dams. This is one article, Google is loaded with articles.
https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn7046-hydroelectric-powers-dirty-secret-revealed/
Thanks Watcher, I was aware of the CO2 and methane emissions from hydro, but in my anger at Fran Lego I totally forgot. Great catch and thanks again for pointing this out.
Hey joe. Call that clown Frank Lego if he wants to extort more money out of Alberta to let the oil flow through his province. If he is going to talk gangsta, he can have the proper name for a gangster. Apparently, 300 billion over the last 20 yeatrs doesn’t buy you much in Kaybec.
Yeap…and if you ever fly over a mega city, take a look out the window, what does it look like? To me, I see them as a sort of cancer, or virus eating away at the organic tissue of the host (Earth). The biological analogy is hard to not see. But it is what it is, for better or for worse, this is where “civilisation” is heading.
City people are definitely more easily herded, controlled and scared than people in the boonies. I’ve observed that if one becomes too disconnected from nature, one loses important elements in life. City life is just too artificial. And from a historical perspective, it is.
Only the last 2 or 3 generations of the entire history of mankind grew up in mega-cities! So its something very new.
Also
Upvote from me. As a transplant from DC to the boonies long ago, I’ve noticed that we provide all the food, power, waste disposal, and excess taxes it takes to keep the cities alive, while they export their pollution, laws that should only apply to dense populations, crime, and…tax after tax to fund their fake sustainability – while using projection to claim they are more efficient, more cultured and so on. We don’t see it that way (vast understatement).
Just as a slave-master would behave toward the slaves. Only we country folk are perhaps a little tougher to enslave over the long term. Our tolerance has been misapprehended as willingness to be subjugated.
And it’s very nearly at its end. We know who can do without who, and I think we easily win that little scuffle.

Cardinal Pell, top advisor to the Pope, has been found guilty of historical sexual offences:
“The cardinal is the most senior churchman yet to be convicted of such offenses, though he is not the third-ranking Vatican official, as some media have reported. His conviction is a grave blow not only to the church in Australia but also to the Vatican and to Pope Francis, who placed great trust in him by nominating the Australian prelate to his nine-member Council of Cardinal Advisors (he was the only cardinal from Oceania at that time, and Francis chose one cardinal from each continent) and by appointing him as prefect of the Secretariat of the Economy with a sweeping mandate to reform Vatican finances.”
https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2018/12/12/cardinal-pell-top-advisor-pope-francis-found-guilty-historical-sexual-offenses
Are you delighted by this event? You shouldn’t be. There is more to this story than the current jury conviction. There is a pattern of abuse – but of JUSTICE.
“A trusted Australian source told LifeSiteNews today that Cardinal Pell’s appeal is already underway. The source called the ruling a “terrible injustice” that revealed the jury’s “outrageous bias,” adding that there was “total astonishment” in the court at the jury’s decision. The source said that the jury came to its decision despite the prosecution having only one witness and no other evidence.
The cardinal has always maintained that he is innocent of any incident of sexual abuse. His friend George Weigel, who has known the cardinal for fifty years, has compared the case to the Salem witch trials.
Weigel wrote last June that the charges against Pell were no surprise to “those familiar with the fantastic campaign of false allegations of sexual abuse conducted against the cardinal.” ”
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/cdl.-pell-to-appeal-jurys-verdict-finding-him-guilty-of-sexual-abuse
While many might celebrate Pell’s “abuse” troubles, the musings of a FALSELY accused Priest may be a reminder about the perils of mob justice. http://thesestonewalls.com/

Worried about China? Don’t worry, feminist Trudeau is on the job. This morning Groper is attending a meeting of feminists to discuss gender equity. That will teach those Chinese bastards. He then meets with the president of Haiti. I assume to hand over a cheque. And Great Leader Groper cares about Canadians. Well, people in Quebec anyway. He is giving up to twenty five thousand dollars each to residents on the Quebec/U.S. border as compensation for migrants bothering them.
Atheists are the most evangelical, obnoxious twits on the planet. This pair are just the latest:

Did not want their child exposed to Christmas decorations or even REMEMBERANCE DAY symbols at a Montessori school in BC. According to the CBC, they got a $12,000 Christmas present, which I suppose is funny…
‘For instance, when Mangel learned the school planned to include clay elf decorations in its December festivities, he wrote an email to the board objecting, and suggested some “atheist Christmas ornaments” that would better represent the views of his family.
That included one that simply says “Skeptic,” and another that depicted the World Trade Center in New York with the caption “Atheists don’t fly airplanes into buildings.” ‘
This POS needs an ungodly beating.
When POS mentions airplanes flying into the World Trade towers that’s when you know he might be the one and only Captain Douche Bag.

Took Peterson a long time to get there, but it’s near the end and it starts with W.
https://youtu.be/GiAF1_osKB8
A succinct summation of Jnr., his policies and his character.
Eventually the Lame Stream Media will find a suitably greasy way to take down Dr. Peterson. He speaks truth to power and they cannot abide that.
Many countries have Poet Laureates. We need a Laureate of Logic and Competence and I nominate Dr. Peterson.
His role will be to speak after every policy pronouncement by the government of the day and subject it to the cold, hard light of truth. A man like that could lead us to greatness as a nation.
Here in BC we are waiting for the announcement that, yes, proportional representation has PASSED! The idea that it takes 3 weeks for a vote count makes sceptics like me immediately wonder how difficult the media manipulating process is. We can get provincial election results the same night of voting but not this? Last I heard the voter turnout was less than 40%. The ballot was deliberately misleading so that spoilt ballets would be huge on the “No” side.
My only hope is that a sizable number of Dippers will realize that voting for Proportional Representation will condemn them to a minority force for some time. Huge number of Dippers vote the way they do simply because they know the Greenies cannot elect members in ‘first past the post’. BC is doomed!
On the other hand, PR will make B. C. completely ungovernable.
Think librano politicians or their friends aren’t buried up to their neck in Chinese excrement? Not only the feds but the BC libranos – Christy Crook types.
This could get interesting if the chicoms have anything at all on these people.
Nice article about Solzhenitsyn:
https://spectator.org/from-ho-ho-ho-to-no-no-no/
Sorry here is the link on Solzhenitsyn:
https://spectator.org/the-man-who-defeated-communism/
Nold: @ 9:06 am
I enjoyed the piece about Solzhenitsyn. Thank you for posting it.
His work is important. Perhaps the delivery of his message may have come off as too offensive- telling the people he addressed at convocations, for example, saying the West was ‘obtuse’ regarding the definition between ‘right and wrong’, as it applied to the politics of the West. (he was right, of course)
The flick “Moscow On The Hudson” portrayed the desperateness of the Russian people. Robyn Williams superbly portrayed this in his part albeit at times, with a comedic flare. (The tough-to-imitate Russian accent was no small feat.) I really liked the movie the first time, but like Dr. Zhivago, once is enough, for they both are too sad.
Finally, in the comments after the piece, a comment by a person named Ancient Briton stood out, it was: “Communism never goes away, it just comes back in a new guise.” How true.
CTV Calgary Poll “Should Alberta Separate from Canada” maybe add your opinion!
https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/ scroll down and poll is on right side.
65-35 for separation at 2:22 pm
Ya reallly have got to hand it to the record companies.They know how to make money. Simply by getting ONE person to ban the song “Baby Its Col Outside” they managed to get millions of dollars in new sales. More records sold, more radio plays and more downloads.The “progressives” and feminists are now SO predictable.
It’s an old trick. Making something forbidden increases interest in what was banned.
“Maybe she’ll break out of jail the same way Lucien Rivard did:”
According to some local reports she has already left the country. guess Trudeau didn’t want to upset the chicoms any further.
WOW!!!
Accidentally on purpose leaving the jail door open can’t be called an escape, now can it? It has to be dramatic: tunnels! explosions! gunfire! soldiers and police all over the place! Have the Chicoms no flair, no style?
Just read that one of the problems with Alberta separation is that there still wouldn’t be an outlet to tidewater to get oil to markets.
I would suggest that a fee of $8000 per rail car entering Alberta from B.C. would easily makeup the 80 million dollars a day currently being lost due to lack of new pipelines and get B.C.’s attention in a hurry.
F that…
Stop the flow of gas and oil for a few months and all access will be green lifted with open freezing arms…

by Seneca III
RIP the Conservative Party. Born in its modern form out of the 1832 Reform Act under the guiding hand of Robert Peel it, in a fit of collective madness, suicided on the 12th of December 2018.
Having produced two of the greatest Prime Ministers of the modern era it became oblivious to the necessities of good governance, put its hand on its heart, felt its wallet then voted to sustain in office what is arguably the most treacherous, asinine Prime Minister of our time and long before.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust it will be, because that is all it became fit for in the end.
Concurrently, the whole of this present (and recent) Parliament(s) is the most wretched collection of self-serving traitors, liars, unconvicted criminals, freeloaders, sexual deviants, washing machine salesmen and morally destitute poseurs assembled in the Palace of Westminster since 1653, and it is immaterial which way or how they vote, abstain, waffle, equivocate, delay and butt-cover hereafter. The United Kingdom will be neither united, a Kingdom nor sovereign and free any longer.
For over two years, month after month, day after day they have stood and pontificated, wallowing righteously in a sea of vacuous platitudes and imagined threats whilst dragging the House and this nation deeper into a Slough of Despond than even Bunyan could have imagined. Most of them cannot deliver a coherent speech without the use of copious notes, and even then their verbal incontinence (in the main, nothing more than rancid vomitus) is painful to the eye and ear of those who have steeled themselves to watch and listen.
History will record this collection of political dwarves as unfit for any purpose other than their own enrichment and the survival of themselves and their comrades in the Globalist International; they are totally without virtue and ridden with vice. My dog has more integrity and sense of patriotism than they; he would not refuse to address the grievances of his pack nor their will as expressed through a referendum, and would not sell them to the Euro-Globalists for thirty pieces of euros (or tins of dog food) and a seat at High Table in a canine Brussels or Socialist International.
Barely any of this two-legged “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others” parliamentary rabble could lie straight on the rack, never mind present as anything resembling pillars of rectitude. Betrayal is their watchword, and the adulation of their acolytes and (EU) paymasters their bread of life. However, bear in mind that if May & Co sign us up to the UN Immigration Pact, as is looking more and more likely, then the whole Brexit debacle, however it turns out, will be of no long-term importance as Muslim psychopaths from all over the world together with feral sub-Saharan primitives will soon flood in to finish us off once and for all.
In the final analysis it is now glaringly obvious that we the people are of no consequence to those we have elected to govern us, simply irritants to be ignored after each election day, and thus they who govern are no longer of consequence to us, either. So let us be done with the lot of them and start again, no matter how difficult and painful that will be, and it will be, because there is no solution left to us via the ballot box. The final resolution will have to be found in the fog and turmoil of violent insurrection.
— Seneca III, sinking into a Slough of Despond, this 13th day of December, 2018.
The Flynn affair: a good man who served his country for over 30 years (so couldn’t get rich drinking from the public trough).
Ambushed, indeed denied due process (where was the Miranda caution when he was clearly under investigation), and with no crime found, is manipulated by Mueller than would make Saddam Hussein blush, into a ridiculous process crime with no clarity from investigators, and ginned up 302s written after the fact (sorry Strozk, got you on that one), where he was threatened, allegedly his family as well, where he had already had to sell his home.
In short, they broke a good man over an ethical lapse for political gain and perhaps revenge (Obama admin hated him).
Halleluiah! A judge just pushed the reset button, demanding all of Mueller’s evidence, every bit of it. Watch him dance on this.
I hope the judge admonishes Mueller, throws all of it out, and tells Flynn to sue Mueller and his police state jackals on civil rights.
http://thefederalist.com/2018/12/13/federal-judge-overseeing-michael-flynns-sentencing-just-dropped-major-bombshell/
But with liars and schemers on the Dem side skating through with their “I don’t recalls” and outright lies, I am not optimistic.
Trump should get his “barrier” through Congress and then let loose with an independent prosecutor to get to the bottom of the whole putrid mess that is so injuring the US body politic, and let the chips fall where they may.
The end must begin here given Dems are happy to inherit a suffering patient to be leeched and bled again onto their death. Understating this? I think not. This stuff happens lightning fast.
More on Flynn framing. Check this out.
“Former national security adviser Mike Flynn a year ago pleaded guilty to one count of lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation about his conversations with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S. Mr. Flynn’s defense team this week filed a sentencing memo to Judge Emmet Sullivan that contained explosive new information about the Flynn-FBI meeting in Jan/17.”
It was arranged by then-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, who personally called Mr. Flynn on other business, then suggested he sit down with two agents to clear up the Russia question. MR. MCCABE URGED MR FLYNN TO CONDUCT THE INTERVIEW WITH NO LAWYER PRESENT – TO MAKE THINGS EASIER.” (my emphasis added)
Easier for whom? This seems an obvious denying of Miranda rights for Mueller. This judge nailed the FBI for this nonsense on 2007. Guess who the FBI Director was. Three guesses and the first two don’t count.
“The agents (including the infamous Peter Strzok) showed up within two hours. They had already decided not to inform Mr. Flynn that they had transcripts of his conversations or give him the standard warning against lying to the FBI. They wanted him “relaxed” and “unguarded.” Former Director James Comey this weekend bragged on MSNBC that he would never have “gotten away” with such a move in a more “organized” administration.”
The whole thing stinks of entrapment, though the curious question was how the Flynn defense team got the details. The court filing refers to a McCabe memo written the day of the 2017 meeting, as well as an FBI summary—known as a 302—of the Flynn interview. These are among documents congressional Republicans have been fighting to obtain for more than a year, only to be stonewalled by the Justice Department. Now we know why the department didn’t want them public.”
They have come to light thanks to a man who knows well how men like Messrs. Mueller and Comey operate: Judge Sullivan. He sits on the U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia, and as he wrote for the Journal last year, he got a “wake-up call” in 2008 while overseeing the trial of then-Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska. Judge Sullivan ultimately assigned a lawyer to investigate Justice Department misconduct.”
The investigator’s report found prosecutors had engaged in deliberate and repeated ethical violations, withholding key evidence from the defense. It also excoriated the FBI for failing to write up 302s and for omitting key facts from those it did write. The head of the FBI was Mr. Mueller.”
Are we finally seeing cracks in the deep seditious state and accountability for their abuses of power? TY Kimberley Strassel.

Now the Yellow Vests have spread to Belgium and Holland. Brussels is on fire and Holland is smoldering. Good read.

Oh My! Now the fickle Indians want an oil pipeline from Alberta to the coast near Prince Rupert, and they want Tanker traffic as well. And the icing on the cake is they intend to take PM Poutine Miss Twinkle Toes to the UN over it all. And they also say that the only Native resistance is from Natives that are getting payola from US sponsors. OH Dear Oh Dear Me. https://nationalpost.com/news/first-nations-coalition-calls-for-rejection-of-trudeau-tanker-ban-plans-to-file-un-complaint-against-ottawa#comments-area
Prosecutor Heitz said the gunman, a 29-year-old Frenchman of Algerian descent and a delinquent since age 10, had been radicalized while serving time in French and German prisons. He had 27 prior convictions in France, Germany and Switzerland and had been released from his last stint in prison in 2015.
TWENTY SEVEN prior convictions. Sorry, but the victims of this POS have every right to sue all three states. Beyond belief.
This is not covered by any MSM anywhere. But House Committee investigating the Clinton Foundation, interviewing whistleblowers.
Have stated to Committee that the Clinton Foundation ran the Foundation like a business, not a Charity. Could owe up to 2.5B in taxes, could be significant legal penalties. Milhouse Von Pantsuit has had a bad day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbZSuN7vTXw

For fans of TV series the “Sopranos” a prequel has been written by the series creator David Chase and will begin filming in March 2019. It may lead to another television series.
It better have good writing, otherwise it’ll fall flat. I’ve seen a number of prequels to well-known, and successful, shows, and not all of them worked. I didn’t particularly like Tennison, the prequel for the Helen Mirren series Prime Suspect dull and uninteresting. Endeavour (the prequel for the excellent Inspector Morse) is OK, but weak because I can’t really see the connection between the younger Morse and the character played by John Thaw.
The only one that’s been worth watching for me is Better Call Saul, which provides background to some of the characters in Breaking Bad.
Check out the writer’s credits. I’d be surprised if it was not good. Anything can happen to wreck it, like poor acting, though. It takes place between 1968 and 1975 during the Newark riots. Just imagine the wardrobes and up-do puffy hairstyles and men with long hair?
Apparently the script is a closely guarded secret. I have hope.
