    1. that 24%, THAT is what I call the hard-core, dyed-in-the-wool supporters.
      much like I describe the nude demon craps who always get a certain basement number of support
      regardless of the candidates, issues, riding, etc.
      the brain damaged ones who ONLY see that puke coloured leftist orange or blood-on-their-hands LIEberal red.
      THAT is whut LIEberal support has sunk to. the ones who only ever vote LIEberal ’cause that’s whut daddykins
      and mommykins did or wtf ever.

    2. Funny. Whenever I see the word “indigenous” now my mind automagically substitutes “disingenuous”

      Strange that.

      Thanks for this.

      The Portuguese language works so well with these tunes. It’s a haunting and beautiful language. Makes you want to slip your arm around the hips of a gal and kitchen dance.

      Astrud Gilberto is another Brazilian singer I very much admire.

  7. Lets dump some orange dye into a river and see what happens.

    Here’s why the pristine blue waters of a northern B.C. river are running neon orange

    This week, a northern B.C. First Nation will turn the bright blue waters of the Skeena River a neon orange-yellow.
    The idea is to simulate a potential toxic spill into the pristine river from derailed railway cars.
    The Kitsumkalum First Nation is pouring a dramatically coloured dye into the waters of a river many consider the backbone of the north coast ecosystem.

    “The entire CN Rail corridor is right along the Skeena,” explained Mark Biagi, fish and wildlife operations manager for the Kitsumkalum Indian Band, which is also located along the tracks, about five kilometres from Terrace. “Any derailment that happens is very likely to impact the river.”
    The question is how and where a toxic spill would flow. So band staff will follow the simulated spill for hours with a drone. Then they’ll continue to monitor its impact using GPS and sensors.

    They claim the dye is harmless, and this is being done because – science.

    I presume that a full environmental impact study in line with C-69 has been done and that meaningful consultations with all affected nations have been carried out.

    1. So the Kitsumkalum should go back to walking. Someone some where has to produce the gasoline they use for cars, and the steel. Why should their neighbourhoods take all the (low) risk?

      Oh and no horses either, the First Nations killed off all the original North Americans horse.

      And before using the dye, they should prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the dye is not toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, or reprotoxic. Then they should get the ok from all the residents of BC and the Pacific rim countries. We can’t be too careful

      1. Yes everyone who hates oil should be required to live without it, immediately.

      2. Seems logical to build a pipeline to solve the potential rail line spill problem.

    2. Nice railway you got here. It’d be a pity if any cars were derailed and, oh, I dunno, maybe spilt stuff into the river.

      More Wampum!

    3. Did they do an analysis of the gender balance as well as the resulting carbon footprint, or do those things only apply to white people?

  9. There is a Delacourt column in todays Torstar that qualifies as a random act of journalism or that Telford must not be returning calls.

    https://www.thestar.com/politics/political-opinion/2019/07/02/stephen-harper-a-good-choice-to-negotiate-a-brexit-deal.html

    Here’s an actual quote that will have the PMO foaming at the mouth.

    “The Liberal government of the time never gave him credit, but it was Harper, then an opposition MP for Calgary West, who first came up with the idea of Canada setting concrete terms around Quebec separation. Before there was a Clarity Act — Jean Chrétien’s term-setting legislation after the near-loss of federalism in the 1995 Quebec referendum, there was the “Quebec Contingency Act,” written and sponsored by Harper”

    1. Are there two Susan Delacourts? She and her compatriots did their best to slag and drag Harper down when he was PM.

  10. I have news for African Americans…. The Civil war was NOT fought to free them from Slavery. The consequence of the North winning resulted in Lincoln (after the war) abolishing slavery… The war was not about them and they need to get over themselves…The Civil war result was nothing but a benefit to African Americans… They should celebrate everything about the Civil War…..

    The same can be said about WWII, the war was not fought to free the Jews from Hitler’s final solution. The consequence of the allies winning the war was that the world learned of the holocaust…Least we forget… I don’t think the Jews hate WWII…

    JMHO

      2. As usual, some convenient air-brushing of the source of the argument over “states’ rights” that led to the Civil War.

        Was it disagreement over some federal cheese quota? A dispute about paddle-steamer right-of-way on the Mississippi? Maybe the states didn’t like Washington taxing nails or something?

        Nah, it was about slavery and the future of that “institution” in an expanding republic.

        1. Thanks JJM. You are spot on. Should new states be “slave free” was the issue of the times. Later, as the slaughter increased, it morphed into abolishing slavery altogether. But even before the South started the fight, slavery in the U.S. was dying a slow death.

        2. The slave issue was brought up as the war progressed and it was not ever the first consideration.

    2. you Slap, win the award for most accurate posting of the week and it aint over yet.
      also, *some* black FOUGHT FOR THE SOUTH or at least *supported the effort*.

  11. Trudeau’s CBC continues its coverage this morning, of its poll that shows Canadians are racist bastards. And mohammed Justin meets with muslim leaders in Toronto this morning.

    1. Meeting with any religious body is the ultimate suck-up for votes, it’s an insult and should never be part of any political campaign. We live in a free country, all are equal according to the dictates of Papa Trudeau’s charter so why the effort to make some more equal than others with attention and promises?

    2. Yes, precisely why I have no use at all for the Dear Leader and his cabinet of high school co-op students:

      This government has effectively determined that its own citizens are genocidal maniacs committed to destroying the Earth.

      Well done.

    1. Iacocca was fired by Henry Ford II in 1978 who told Lee “sometimes you just don’t like somebody”. Iacocca took over near bankrupt Chrysler in 1979 and with a $1.5 billion loan from the US government restructured that company to profitability by 1981 and record profits of $2.4 billion by 1984, which included the introduction of the minivan.

      1. If I’m not mistaken, Iacocca was also responsible for the Ford Mustang. I can’t imagine the movie Bullitt being made with any other car.

      2. meanwhile lOOkit whut ‘appened to Ford under HF II, aka the edsel. which actually DIDNT ‘sell’.

  13. File this under “no shit Sherlock”.

    Toronto police chief says we can’t “arrest our way out of gun play” after 5 people were killed over the Canada Day holiday.

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/police-chief-mark-saunders-responds-weekend-shootings-1.5196995

    “Asked what the solutions are, [police chief] Saunders said prevention is the best approach. He also said closer attention must be paid to the people who get incarcerated.”

    “They come back out, 90 per cent are coming back out again,” he said. “There has to be a holistic approach if we’re going to get it right. So, the focus should be right across the bandwidth to make sure that it’s front end, back end and, of course, the enforcement piece that we’ve got to do.”

    OK, so what does “holistic approach” or “front end bandwidth” actually mean? Because I’m not exactly great with the English language but that sounds like bull-shit to me.

    The only answer is to leave the 90% (who kill and come back out onto the street again ) rotting in jail for their entire lives. That would solve 90% of the problem right there (I may not be good in English but I’m great at math).

    1. Toronto’s chief is a nutless idiot. He doesn’t have the brains or the stones to say the justice system is a joke and that people who do serious crime need to get hard time in a cold pitiless place.
      Of course chiefs of police and fire services are often chosen because of politics.

    2. SfR
      Absolutely bang on….LMAO.!! math indeed.
      The “Holistic” approach is what leads Convicted Killers to Healing Lodges. I doubt that said Police Chief even knows the meaning of Holistic – being just another bleeding heart Liberal Appointee without the cojonnes to say what is truly needed to be done….as Per your comment.

    3. We could start be giving serious jail time to criminals who use guns in the commission of a crime. Oh and parole eligibility comes after 80% of sentence served.

    1. If Scheer wins, he should fire Vance, who’s overdue for replacement, and appoint Norman as Chief of Defence. Like Scheer has the balls to do anything other than kowtow to liberal propaganda.

      2. The Dairy Queen is a Liberal mole.
        Theres not a damned thing “Conservative” about him. Just another Boot Licker that will kowtow to: the Laurentien Elites in the Quebec based Criminal Cabal along with UN-Soros directions. Fcuk him.

        #BernierNation

      3. That’s what the Liberal press want you to believe.
        And apparently it’s working.
        I say give Scheer a chance. He needs votes from the centre to win. Campaigning from the right like PPC is doing will only get you a window seat – looking in.
        The only thing that could be worse than a re-elected Trudeau would be a minority Liberal government supported by Greens.
        Vote CPC, don’t let Trudeau back in at all costs.
        To those PPC’ers who go on about values, they suck if you would accept another term of Trudeau.

  17. From the Gates of Vienna website, a video interview with a German volunteer that worked with immigrants for two years and gave up in disgust. It should be a wake up call for all Canadians.

    https://gatesofvienna.net/2019/07/life-among-the-migrants-for-a-stupid-german-working-robot/

    And if you think that Ahmed Hussen, our immigration minister, or our Prime Minister have our best interests in mind as citizens, think again. It is worth watching all 30 minutes of this video as it highlights the cultural differences between Western thought, and Islam (even though Islam is not mentioned by name).

    1. Everything she noted could have been told to her 30 years ago…

      Western Hemipshere Humanity is and Remains completely fkn IGNORANT about what this Islamic FILTH actually is, does and wants.

      Identical to an unholy marriage of the Borg & the Terminator and they will NEVER EVER Quit in their quest to eradicate us and create their long desired Kaliphate in the West. Aided and abetted by those who would be the first in line to lose their heads: The Communist Left that has infested our Academia, Media, Unions and Politics.

      In the end it will in fact destroy the west….I give it 25 yrs Max.

      The Only way out IMO, is the Burmese Method.

      1. the unspoken plan includes killing their OWN adherents when the time comes. the ‘moderates’ who decry the ‘true’ followers.
        they are already doing it.
        and have been since the early days of the faith 1,400 years ago.
        danged history, keeps popping up to contradict the present propaganda eh?
        and spot on regards the leftist infestation which is greasing the gears.

  18. An Ohio bakery was just awarded $44 million from Oberlin College as compensation for being defamed as racist by college administrators. The family-owned Gibson’s Bakery had been the focus of protests following the arrest of three black Oberlin students involved in a 2016 shoplifting at the store. The jaw-dropping award resulted from Oberlin administrators playing a significant role in the events.

    In the twenty-five years after 1989, according to a 2014 report, the number of administrative and professional non-teaching employees in U.S. colleges and universities has more than doubled, vastly outpacing the growth of students or faculty. During this period, universities and colleges collectively added 517,636 administrators, a staggering average of 87 each working day.

    (Trump-Hating Soccer Star Megan Rapinoe

    BENCHED in Stunning World Cup Decision.)
    Discussion of this Cabbage Head is not worthy.
    But she reminds me of the Olympic skier that said she would not honor any invite to the white house when she won the Gold.
    3rd run she fell and nearly broke her leg.

    Megan Rapholes mouth is costing her World Cup stardom. Ha.

    2. Competely Deserving…imo.!!
      ha indeed.

      And totally indicitave of a certain cpl generation that is entitled on steroids, with zero respect for anything other than their self inflated egos & victimhood status.

  20. Somebuddy else’s mouth probably cost zer too. Zee has so much time on zer hands that zhe has nothing to do but be verbally abusive on this site. Zhe doesn’t shock us with a filthy mouth. What a bore though, always repeating that people are crazy.

  21. President Trump has nominated economist Judy Shelton for the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve.

    Judy Shelton, among other accomplishments, is author of The Coming Soviet Crash, a 1988 book in which she exposed the Soviet government’s insolvency and “glasnost” and “perestroika” as ploys designed to convince the Soviet Union’s financial backers to continue to subsidize their failed experiment in central planning and pay for a modernization of the Red Army.

    Fortunately, they failed.

    (Soviet Russia had been an expensive embarrassment for decades at that point, and global finance by then had far better uses for the money—such as underwriting the growth of the Internet, and of an omnipresent surveillance state beyond Gorbi’s wildest dreams. But that’s another story.)

    Shelton knows how Wall Street and the Fed brings down governments who make life difficult. Needless to say, she is opposed to a repeat of the 2007 interest rate hikes that triggered the financial crisis, thrusting Barack Obama into the White House and keeping Sarah Palin away from it—already being planned as the best way to push the president aside and replace him with the pride of Westmount High School.

    Of course, in the globalist business press Shelton is universally condemned as a crank and a Trump bootlicker.

    Wish her godspeed.

  22. China has issued a statement that Canada is wasting its time if it thinks pressure from the U.S. will help it. And one of the hostages in China has had his glasses taken away. Meanwhile the Huawei executive sits in her mansion in B.C. living the life of the rich and famous. Great job Justin. Although I guess your kinda busy talking to muslim leaders in Toronto today.

    1. The bad news is that our country hasn’t much chance going up against China, even if we weren’t hampered by our Dear Leader and his student council of a cabinet.

      The good news is: at least we’re not Hong Kong.

      1. We don’t need China for anything. If PM PantsOnFire were a patriot he and the class clowns would be doing everything to get our resources trading elsewhere while adding 1000% tariffs to Chicom dollar-store crap. Justa Turnip would also be pushing allies and trading partners to do the same. But he’s a monumental coward, a mental midget and (an Ottawa-born) K-bec backhole destined to be maligned by the history books as the product of urban quims unsated by their sad sack husbands and their own dismal images.

        1. when I was a kid, stuff made in Japan included cheap toys stamped out of sheet metal.
          fast forward 3 decades, and they’re turning out electronics up the wazoo and scientific gadgets, good quality SRL cameras et friggin cetera.
          somehow I dont see that happening with the [gives new meaning to the word] JUNK from chirer.
          with Japan, the ‘student’ (ie their mfg’ing sector) did in many ways eclipse the ‘teacher’ (ie American advisers)
          if there was any industrial espionage along the way, I dont recollect it being described in terms like today.

          1. Keep in mind that when the cheap tinny stuff appeared on our shelves here, Japan was in the process of re-building its industry after WW II. It had to start somewhere.

            While that was going on, it adopted the management and quality control techniques espoused by people like Edwards Deming.

            The aforementioned products, often the butt of comedians, began disappearing during the early to mid-1960s. By then, the Japanese had become masters of manufacturing and, often, produced innovative products which companies in North America couldn’t easily compete with.

            For example, for several decades, the best amateur radio equipment was built in the U. S. by companies such as Hammerlund and Hallicrafters. Many of those radios were heavy and bulky, partly because they used vacuum tubes, with the weight coming largely from the transformers needed to drive those devices. (There’s a reason why your microwave oven is so heavy at one end, but I’ll leave the explanation to that for another occasion.) As a result, those radios were dubbed “boat anchors”, for obvious reasons.

            But, more than 40 years ago, Japanese rigs came on the market. They completely by-passed using vacuum tubes and were, for the most part, solid-state. They were relatively compact, often had more features and capabilities as the aforementioned boat anchors, and were competitively priced.

            The older companies, which were often smaller outfits, couldn’t compete. To build solid-state equipment would have meant extensive re-design of their products as well as spending a lot of time and money in re-tooling their manufacturing facilities in order to produce those radios.

            The result is that names, such as the ones I’ve mentioned, faded into amateur radio history as the companies went out of business some 30 – 40 years ago. The old rigs are still available on the second-hand market and they’re good, but the Japanese units can, often, run rings around them because of size, weight, and what they can do.

            Most of the transceivers that I own are Japanese-built. They’re of good quality and I’m quite satisfied with them. Unfortunately, since most of them were purchased second-hand, spare parts can sometimes be hard to come by as most of the models have long been discontinued.

  23. This is a hoot.

    The Canadian National woman’s hockey team practices against a midget boys team. Hayley Wickenheisor topped out in a tier 2 Swedish men’s league or somesuch.

    It’s bad enough they put them in the Hockey Hall of Fame with the NHL’ers but they practically ignored the male inductees over Wickenheiser this time.

    Embarrassing but typical.

    But talk about delusional and entitled. See the following story.
    And I bet none of these independent women get the irony.
    Maybe these “professional” female players can convince Trudeau to share the Nhl’s wealth. It’s the Liberal Way after all.

    “While the CWHL board of directors supports the players in the collective action for one league, Walzak wrote there needs to be considerable change around attitudes towards women’s hockey.

    “It is not smart for all of us to lament the end of the CWHL, while not changing the behaviours that led to its end,” she said.

    “Today’s top female players obtain a modest stipend ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 per year compared to the lowest annual salary in the NHL of roughly $1 million.

    “Successors to the CWHL must find a way for the best women to earn a full salary.

    “We therefore urge all hockey associations and levels of government to allocate dollars directly to the women’s game and to ensure that women are at the table when these decisions are made.”

    Walzak said the board received two offers of less than $20 to buy the league’s assets with no assumption of liabilities, which the CWHL declined.”

    LOL

  24. For the past few days the Canadian fake news media have been trashing Trump on whether he talked to China about the Canada situation. Newscasts, journalists, and discussion panels were convinced that he would not. Today the government confirmed that Trump did talk to the Chinese president about the China/Canada issue. I guess we can’t expect an apology from the Canadian media, they are too busy trashing Trump’s July 4th celebrations.

  25. Our environmentalist prime minister is burning jet fuel at taxpayer expense again tomorrow. He spews carbon into the air as he heads for Montreal to throw money around for the election. He then burns jet fuel to London Ont. to throw money around there.

  26. The Rebel gets results! The Prime Minister’s top bureaucrats in the Privy Council Office were just slammed by the Information Commissioner for withholding information from us.

    Over the course of the last 4 years, we have been asking for expense documents for Justin Trudeau’s best buddy and former principal secretary in the Prime Minister’s office, Gerald Butts. The requests were nearly always blocked because we were asking for information the Privy Council Office determined to be “personal information”. Often after a series of appeals, we would get just a sliver of the information we knew existed.

    And it looks like now, the Information Commish has had enough of partisan bureaucrats in Trudeau’s inner circle abusing the records retention rules to protect Trudeau’s closest confidant from public scrutiny in a scathing finding based on an investigation prompted by our ongoing complaints.

    Commissioner Caroline Maynard wrote in her decision:

  27. Carbon tax is a “joke:” Tractor Pull fans react to “shortsighted” plan

    Humongous horsepower! Terrifying torque! The Bolton Truck & Tractor Pull is a celebration of the internal combustion engine.

    So what do fans think of Climate Barbie’s carbon tax and her oft-repeated wish that Canadians will give up their vehicles, opting for bicycles and public transit instead? Pass the earplugs…

    If you liked these fine folks, then you’ll definitely enjoy the crowd at the Toronto Spring Classic Car Auction.
