  1. 6.5 earthquake reported in south central ID, fairly widespread reports of shaking felt even into southern BC. News report says 5:52 MDT so 4:52 pm PDT. Epicentre about 100 miles north of Twin Falls or 200 miles west of Yellowstone.

  2. Reports that a hot-spot for the Covid virus is a seniors home in Mackenzie Towne.
    If I was a family member I would be raising a right bloody good ruckus as to why the Zelenko protocol is not being used and being used NOW.
    Why the hell is this not being rolled out for everyone!!!!

    Damn it!

  3. So far Canadian Media and Liberal pundits have said how much better things are in Canada than the USA with respect to the Wuhan virus. This is foolish. Quebec is now saying it could run out of key medical supplies for health care workers.

    https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/premier-warns-quebec-could-run-out-of-key-covid-19-medical-supplies-1.4875986

    It’s even more foolish as hundreds of thousands of Canadians are coming back from wintering in the US. How many cases will they bring? Expect to see big increases in Toronto and in Quebec cases. I hope that doesn’t happen, but in the mean time Canadian media and politicians should shut up about what is happening in the US.

    1. Our airports are wide open to people arriving from China, Iran, Italy, etc. Nothing was done to even slow the rate of incoming virus.

      No screening, no quarantine for them because it would be politically incorrect to tell non-white people what to do.

      And our idiot elites in politics and media keep attacking the Americans? Americans are doing the most of any country for their people, and in research, and tests. Which they will immediately share with the planet.

      Arrogant bigoted Canadians suffer from delusions of moral superiority when they pretend to compare themselves to Americans, it’s a common, juvenile, embarrassing, and superficial practice that liberals keep promoting. I’ll call people out for doing it because it’s disgraceful.

    2. Joe, just what makes you think America is any more dangerous than Canada?

        The death toll is higher in the US, for example New York City than in Canada.

        Many Canadian media pundits are saying Trudeau’s response has been better than Trump’s.

        My point is it hasn’t. Canada has less population density than the US, and is colder. So I expect there have been fewer people outside in large groups. Hence lower exposure rates.

        Media reports, (can we trust them?) and Trump’s daily briefings show New York is the hardest hit area in the US. The anti-Trumpers are blaming this on Trump. I think the Democratic governor, NYC mayor, NYC officer of health and media, telling people to gather in large groups in early March are more responsible.

        All the snowbirds returning to Quebec and Ontario may cause a further increase in Wuhan increases in Canada. Maybe I am wrong.

        But politicians and media should not be saying Canada is handling it better than the US is. It’s far to early to tell

        1. Saw a video posted by “Blue Collar Logic” yesterday at http://www.iotwreport.com. It highlighted the fact that New York City is an extremely densely populated city compared to Los Angeles which has a similar sized population but LA has the space to sprawl. On another note, Italy and Spain are part of the PIIGS group and both their demographics skew much older.

          I left Toronto for many reasons back in 2002, but the major one was an article which stated that the Greater Toronto Area would be 10 million by 2010 (it was 9.8 million). I have always thought that if you put too many rats together, that they will start killing one another (either with guns, knives or with diseases).

          Interesting times in which we live.

        2. That does not make it more dangerous. As a snowbird who is locked up, literally, I take exception to your statement as there were zero cases in the area I came from and precautions were being taken by the places we stopped and by us. I call BS.

          1. I know people who have come back from warm places in the US. They have finished their quarantine periods and are healthy.

            I also know people who are still in Florida and other places where Wuhan counts are rising. They hope to leave soon.

            Florida now has 6995 cases. How many snowbirds still have to come home? And how many cases will they bring.

    3. It is the standard Canadian inferiority response of smugness
      ” We are so much better than the US don,t ya know.”

    4. Juxtaposition this?

      “As restricting inter-provincial movement Wednesday, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Quebec has the federal government’s “support and admiration.””

  4. I am wishing that I right now had Quick Dick’s skill set and back up equipment. He is one righteous dude. Maybe CBC will post his video instead of the bleating I unfortunately heard on CBC radio today about the plight of out of work drag queens. Truly.

    1. plight of out of work drag queens

      What? Teresa Tam’s been fired?

      1. So is Theresa Tam actually a tranny? I have been trying to seek verification. Did a search, and the Duck Duck Go blurb for the Wiki entry on her reads “(chinese characters) born a man, 1965”. But follow the link to Wikipedia, and the entry makes no mention of that; uses “she” throughout. And the Wiki article was edited this very day. Hmmmm.

        “She” certainly is ugly enough to be a tranny.

        1. Voice and appearance may sound suspect, but the few and admittedly poor quality pictures of hands I could find on duckduckgo say no.

          When in doubt, check the hands, women have proportionally much longer index fingers than men, usually near the length of the middle and ring finger, while men tend to have much shorter index fingers. Not a foolproof method since it is all statistical and there will be rare exceptions, but surgeons don’t bother to change that detail.

          1. Now that right there is funny….!!
            From Tran to Tam…yea, it fits.
            What an ignorant STUPID piece of WHO bought n paid for, work. One aligned with another utterly useless cunning stunt, Patty Hadju

        2. Just what we need leading our country during a medical crisis someone that can’t decide if it’s a man or woman. Pity

  5. Are there are any teachers with integrity, who are not brainwashed into their globull warming mantra out there? If so they should show their pupils Quickdick. Then in maybe ten years, we might start seeing young people with common sense, not the little robots the UN inspired teachers are currently turning out now.

    It seems like everything will be closed the whole month of April at the very least.
    The economic impact is being Way Underestimated by some including the markets.
    Hotels and airlines?
    When (if) stuff starts opening up, people aren’t about to go on a trip or even be able to afford to, especially with spring here. And nobody’s coming to visit Canada.
    A lot of people were already debt laden before this started.

    1. I look forward to Boy Wonder, he who is in hiding, being asked about the tax increase at today’s press conference.

        1. He is hiding in his spider hole like Saddam Hussein. The Liberals don’t want him out in an uncontrolled manner. The guy is a mental midget and can’t think on his feet. Thus, he is doing nothing but reading and responding to pre-screened puff ball questions from a bought off media.

      1. And, at the same time, ask him about his generous salary raise.
        It didn’t happen. The “press” were too busy praising him and saying “Orange man bad.”

  7. The Liberal Party’s taxpayer funded Toronto Star, explains today how Hitler Trump needs to take advice from Great Leader Kim Sung Trudeau on how to handle the China virus. And the Liberal Party’s taxpayer funded CBC explains that China and Canada are much better at handling the virus than the States.

    1. Many African countries have heavy investment from China….which is probably where the coronavirus in Africa comes from. Would be interesting to see the REAL situation in Venezuela which is also heavily dependent on China.

    1. “but is just one view”.
      LOL, LindaL. Sounds like Kate’s unjustified snark still stings.

      I feel that you’ve been on the right track all along!

  8. Like many people I am going walking for exercise. Yesterday I noticed an electric car plugged in at the local library/ community centre. I thought it funny since everything is closed. Then I looked more closely at the meter, and as far as I can tell, cars plugged in are getting free electricity. How is that justifiable? This is a city of Ottawa facility. Maybe I missed something.

    1. Green ideology trumps all else. That is why the carbon tax is doubling today (April 1).

    2. Your right about electric cars powering up ,not free though look in the mirror that’s whose paying you and I and everyone in between

      1. The sooner the monarchy is abolished, the more desperately needed $$ C.A.N.A.D.A. could save. Enough of this monarchical nonsense.

  9. Good job SDA moderating my comments on how much BETTER canadas travel restrictions are compared to the USA.

    Nobody but Canadians are allowed in to Canada. The entire world is banned. USA is only restricting China, UK, Ireland, and the Schengen region (many EU countries). Everyone else is allowed in.

    USA asks everyone to isolate for 14 days on return. Canada does too, but with threat of a 750k fine and 6 months in jail if you violate it. USA has no fines.

    [When you put FOUR LINKS in a comment, expect the spam filter to grab it and send it for deletion. You know better. — ED]

    1. States have fines and prison terms. Check your facts. Perhaps, spreading misinformation got you censored?

    2. We’re in DAY #6 of isolation. When we crossed our land border crossing (March 28th) we were told we had to self isolate and that a fine of $1 million or 3 years in prison would be a possibility if we were caught outside the house. Also told there could be checks to ensure we were obeying. On our flight from Maui-Portland-Spokane we were never asked if we had any symptoms. At the border we were.

      My nephew is now in DAY #12 of self isolation. He returned from Japan on March 20th. Tokyo-Honolulu-Vancouver-Cranbrook. At none of these locations was he checked or asked about his health.

      Any suggestion that the federal government was on top of things early on is a absolute joke. Each day their message changes and they are not held to account. Hopefully at some point they will be but how many unnecessary deaths will it cost?

      1. No country has enacted flight restrictions. It is travel restrictions. Direct flights from China to the US kept going for weeks after Trump put on the travel restrictions. It had huge loopholes and still does.

        Therr are still flights from Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, Paris, London,Dublin to JFK every day.

    3. Hey..? shit fer Brains, yea, you allen.??
      TAKE YOUR BS AND PISS OFF….MORON.
      Canada does SFA at the border other than asking 1 extra question: No SCREENING nor Testing NADDA Wide open. Just like Roxham Rd – WIDE OPEN.

      You really need to STFU with your assinine stupidity.
      (Thinking its UNthing in disguise or one of his disgusting offspring..?)

    4. Oooo…..a “threat of a 750k fine and 6 months in jail”, eh? Too funny…..when the Liberals are letting creeps OUT of jail and they are going to put others INTO jail? What a dunce you are.

    1. Remember that Newfoundland gets about $65 million a year from Churchill Falls electricity exports, Hydro Quebec gets approx $1 billion a year.

    2. Keep voting liberal Newfoundland it’s working so far,at one point I thought the Newfoundlanders were a good bunch now Can’t stand them.

  10. I’ll suggest an April song. ‘I’ll Remember April’, maybe the version by The Chairman of the Board.

  11. I must be forgiven for my skepticism:)….I don’t know even one person who has COVID19, but our area on Vancouver Island is shut down.
    Yesterday, my husband and I ventured out, to go to Canadian Tire because of several products that were on sale, as well as our feeling that we needed to bust out. Canadian Tire declared their washrooms out of bounds, because of the virus. I went to Home Depot, which had Kleenex and hand sanitizers available next to the restroom entrance. The washroom was pristine clean and the decor was lovely, I must add. The Home Depot staff could not have been more friendly. I told my husband that from now on, Home Depot is my favourite.

  12. Another conversation, another Trump hater.

    At my house in B. C., I spoke with one of my neighbours. I recounted some of the encounters in Edmonton I had last week in which people disliked Prinz Dummkopf, but hated Trump more. This time, the objection this time was “he’s a fool”, but she didn’t elaborate beyond that, being incapable, it seemed, of defining what she found abhorrent. (If he’s a “fool”, how come he’s a billionaire and you’re not?)

    I doubt that she would ever look at websites such as SDA or Rebel News, so I’m not entirely surprised at her comments.

    1. He’s crazy. Trump set up his task force in January — exactly when the Dems were pushing their malicious impeachment stunt.

  13. And now a wrap up of the Canadian Unifor news. Blackie in front of his drooling journalists today warned small business people not to be crooks. He also ranted against Canadians for not following his orders. But the media reminds everyone that Blackie is wonderful. Just ignore that he has refused journalists access to the stockpile of medical supplies he says he has. Just ignore that new medical supplies can’t be made in Canada for 4-5 months. This means he will have to import large quantities from China which gave us the virus in the first place. But remember, Blackie is wonderful. In the U.S. CNN reports that Trump is Hitler, the White House is in chaos, millions will die because of Trump.

  14. And now your diversity is our strength stories for today. Media reports that the China virus is spreading in a B.C. town because of temporary foreign workers. A diverse man made a diverse attack on a Halton Regional Police car(near Toronto), with a sledge hammer.

  15. I posted this on Facebook. We really need to stop Trudeau allowing Hauwei to participate in 5G construction.

    Do YOU want the Chinese Communist Party to have access to your bank Account? Your Facebook/Twitter/Instagram etc?
    To be able to shut down your access to the Internet?

    Everybody’s access and information is compromised by Huawei phones and more importantly their participation in a 5G Network. It is common knowledge that their systems ALL have back doors, feeding info back to the tyrannical Communist People’s Party. With their equipment integrated into 5G they could, anytime they felt it advantageous, use YOUR phone to drain your bank account, limit access to the internet, use YOUR Facebook to post propaganda, all the things you do on your phone they would have control over. And they are not very nice.

    If this China Virus has taught us anything it is how unscrupulous the long-war Chinese Politburo will be in its quest for domination of the world. They own the World Health Organization and used it to cover up their duplicity and run interference for them. They own half the countries in the world through debt and use them as proxies for their Agenda. It has the second highest International Monetary Fund voting power after the US

    They own the manufacturing of all the world’s essential medicinal ingredients, rare earth minerals, plastic (sterile) medical equipment. And the West has out-sourced a vast quantity of all other manufacturing to them. Entrepreneurs get it made in China at half the cost.

    We must tell Trudeau in no uncertain terms that it NOT acceptable for them to have control of our telecommunications. An uphill battle as Telus and the other Providers are already very heavily invested in Huawei (cheap) technology,

    China does not compete with the world on a fair stage. All major industry is owned by the communist party. So think about it this way. If the US gov’t owned Apple (Iphone) and a private corporation, responsible to shareholders, owns IBM or Android. which one can operate at a loss, has unlimited financial backing, unlimited advertising/propaganda, and can even pass advantageous laws?

    Similarly China has the resources of the whole country at it’s disposal while Western companies have to raise their own capital, do their own research (with or without gov’t grants), pay for manufacturing facilities and marketing etc. Then China steals the research.

    This has to stop. And it is imperative to stop Hauwei from infiltrating our 5G Network
