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."

Most of LA is already a ‘No-go’ zone … so might as well finish it off.
I think that they will reap what they sow.
Dane Geld didn’t work then, the odds of it succeeding now are just as likely.
For those in LA that still retain their faith in God, I pray for your salvation.
For the rest, may God have mercy.
The shtf moment is coming at the moment they run out of other people’s money.
I wonder how many police officers in these 2 cities say “F” it and move to a more saner state or city. Steve O
They will be just joining the sensible people who are leaving California and like those leaving New York City/New York State.
You take a “hit” financially now, in hopes of a better life elsewhere. Sadly, they will be bringing their skewed values to the new locations and then wondering in 20 years why everything has “gone to hell in a hand basket”?
Absolutely agree.
I have long-joked that to save America, Trump should have built his first wall around California. The social damage that fleeing leftards are doing to parts of the rest of the nation is already well documented.
For that same phenomenon, I believe that the longer Western Canadians procrastinate taking action on WEXIT, the more that our remaining conservative-majority communities will be weakened.
Exactly. Liberals have flooded Alberta in the last decade or so. Libs always move away from areas they have destroyed and parasitize regions that others have built up with hard work. Watch Texas soon turn blue as loser lib locusts destroy that state.
Alberta should have separated decades ago…now we are nearing the point of no return.
It’s a good way to ensure the force will eventually consist of those fired or disgraced in their last job.
I guess that will provide more riot moments.
When a Dem stays “investing in communities of colour” that means “lining the pockets of my corrupt buddies while getting kick backs for myself”. The idea of removing police is so that Black Lives Matter (who are Islamists) can set up Sharia Compliance patrols in Black neighbourhoods instead. It’s the first move in the Islamist playbook for cutting off a slice of country and converting it Islam, doing it on neighbourhood at a time.
“Follow the money !” Cui bono?, “to whom is it a benefit?”
Why not, 150 million more in welfare is peanuts compared to the spending they already do. The police will eventually be sitting out all violent crime so who cares, let them kill each other and the rest of the populace will take the law into their own hands.
The police should simply all walk off the job….and let LA burn to the ground.
Art I don’t think that will have any effect on the problem. The police need to walk of the job in the rich burbs like Hollywood and advertise it to the rioters, Once the burbs are destroyed and the a-holes like Hanoi Jane are put down then maybe order can be restored.
Yeah, it will…..it won’t take long to see the mansions in the rich burbs go up in flames. By the way, in regard to Hanoi Jane, does anyone know if botox is flammable?
with any luck
Include Seattle in that discussion. That silly council wants remove all the crowd control tools and equipment (flash bangs, tear gas, rubber bullets, tasers, etc) from the police force.
Leaving them only with their guns.
You can’t fix stupid!
Don’t treat people differently based on the melanin content of their skin. Because, that’s racist.
Addendum: Unless you are handing out free money. Then you can treat people differently based solely on their skin color.
Ok, got it. Thanks.
Orson.
That is precisely what we have up here in Canada.
Hell we even hand out money to folks who “identify” as being of different Colour.
Fake Wet’suwetn as a classic Example.
So his solution is to outlaw the arrest of any gangbangers and cut a few hundred million from the LAPD budget..??
Socialist “intelligence” at its best.
Gotta admit, I kinda like the idea of having the LAPD leave Beverly Hills alone…publicly.
Watch SFran, Portalnd, Seattle all follow suit (YVR, are you watching..?)
California is done.
Nuke it from orbit.
Only way to be sure…
Indeed!
Beautiful country, I wish I could have lived there in the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s.
Heck I wish I could go back and live in the Minnesota of the 50’s and 60’s. Even the 1970’s and 1980’s I lived were not too bad. But you could see the trends, and most were bad.
The Democrats are now promoting Trump 2020.
They have obsessed over Orange Man Bad so much that they have lost what little mind they had left.
The Optics are so easy.
Law and Order ,a better economy,freedom,
Or
More rules,Death and Destruction.AKA Death BY Democrat.
You know you are dealing with a fool or a bandit when it offers you the chance to :”Invest in welfare”.
I actually think this is funny. First of all, with police being targeted by certain groups right now, I predict that for the next several years many police are going to take just a little longer getting to crimes in certain neighborhoods and won’t be rushing into any situation that might be dangerous in those same neighborhoods because of the danger to them.
They won’t do this to punish these communities – they just want to protect themselves.
Crime will go up and arrests will go down in those communities. This is going to hurt those poor black communities the most.
Now, add in a reduction to the police budget like this story and you’re just going to slow down response times and arrests even more. I would call this an unintended consequence but these results are so obvious that:
a) the lefties are even dumber than I thought (and I already think they’re outrageously stupid); OR
b) they want this to happen to keep “their people” (If you aren’t voting for me then you ain’t black) eternally aggrieved and kept down.
Why would someone want to be a cop in a big city right now? This situation could result in a shortage of police. And fairly quickly too.
This will keep happening, every summer, for as long as the thugs and the bankrollers of anarchy have anything to gain from it.
Mobilize the troops—to remove, permanently, city and state officials who stand in the way of the restoration of law and order.
Haul the city and state officials to the offices of the city’s and state’s finest.
Attach electrodes to their genitals.
Turn up the voltage till they are willing to stop insulting the people’s intelligence and confess to whatever they’re playing at—and name whoever’s paying them to do it.
The left whinge about a police state. Government by policemen and by the armed forces would be a vast improvement to government by defense attorneys who make their money by making it much, much harder to bring thieves, thugs and traitors to justice than it absolutely has to be.
Nothing to worry about, the flu is going to be an on going white man control and then the riots will take what the white men have, and then there will be nothing except hunger and violence. Ignorance seems to be the main problem. I could say stupid but many are not stupid, just ignorant.
You come up with an idea. You turn the idea into a plan. You get funding. You implement the plan. If you really believe in the idea you start implementing even in the absence of funding. But fundamentally you have to have some idea of what you’re going to do.
Garcetti and like-minded lefty politicians (actually politicians in general) grab the cash first in the complete absence of an idea and a plan. Then they distribute the money in politically expedient ways to a lineup of questionable characters with no idea of what the money’s going to do. Asolutely nothing happens except a lot of pockets get lined (see de Blasio’s wife). Rinse, repeat until the next cycle of violence.
If police cared, if they wanted things to change, it would be very simple.
They know who the criminals are.
They know the neighborhoods that the people in charge WANT to be patrolled and kept safe.
Simply let it be known, to the incorrect people, that the mayor’s neighborhood is not going to have the police presence or response time it is accustomed to.
When you realize that they actually depend on you continuing to work, and continuing to do the work and jobs they say are necessary, the solutions become pretty clear.
What’s a dictator to do, when his private security decides job action has become necessary.
The people you refer to would not worry. They have enough money to buy armed guards for their gated communities (more communities would get gates). They would all get concealed handgun permits unavailable to the average peasant.
Attempted mugging/looting would just provide them with entertaining target practice – no worries about criminal charges for these politically connected people.
Capital is mobile and with this move, I predict that the mayor will be presiding over a very fast and deep removal of personal and business capital and investment from LA county.
Why would anyone or any business stay in a market where there is no protection of themselves or their investment?
Stunning development. I didn’t think a left-wing city council would be that stupid to cut the police budget, and to freeze the gang database. Researchers should investigate links between the criminal gangs and the left-wing politicians.
BINGO….and they should also investigate how much money is ending up in Democrat pockets from the coyotes and dope dealers in Mexico.
If we follow all this turmoil back to its origins, we have admit that Premier of Ontario Mike Harris is to blame.
I just know it.
Ah, memories. And now deja vu with the hysterics over Doug Ford as premiere.
LOL
“We can’t walk to the promised land in a single day,’ said Garcetti”
Yep.. The Riots will come to your Neighborhood when they find-out you are hiding wealth & want to go to the promised land… TODAY…. Hope your family is safe in Texas…..
What, Mad Maxine et al. hasn’t gouged themselves enough off the public trough?
That’s gorged, of course, not gouged.
The more you give to some supposed oppressed demographic group,
be it women, illegals, muslims or blacks, the more they will demand
the more they will throw a tantrum when they don t get more
there will be more riots in the coming years, possibly bigger riots
they will demand we do more that we give more
I suspect that Prince Harry is having serious second thoughts about his moving to LA.
And people think Pinochet was a bad guy for throwing people out of helicopters.
