    1. Oh, I wonder what the best quadriplegic lesbian of colour film is going to be next year? What’s that, there’s only one entry? Oh well, I guess it wins the category.

      I think it’s called the soft bigotry of low expectations. “it’s as good a film as you’re going to get from a person of colour; after all, it’s not like they can compete with us superior people.”

      1. Look at it this way: it’s guarantees that Hollywood will be busy for the next few years. All those classic movies that we saw and grew fond of have to be “corrected” and re-made to reflect the reality of modern diversity, gender balance, and racial harmony.

        It’s already started with Jane Bond. I’m sure a “Dirty Harriet” series of movies will soon be in the works. Think of how all of those John Wayne movies will be after being “re-booted”.

        We will be endlessly entertained for decades to come. As for all those original movies, well, they’ll just have to go into the scrap bin, won’t they?

        1. After several years of watching 90 lbs soaking wet little girls savagely beat up endless monstrous bad guys to save the day, whilst all her male companions cower in fear, I’m left to ponder:

          1. Will I really believe a black, gender free lesbian with no arms or legs can beat up Jaws and save the world?

          2. What the hell is the government, education system, media, entertainment system doing to those poor sods formerly known as boys or young men?

          3. Men should be getting darn tired of the systemic misandry and abuse of men that is government sanctioned and everywhere these days.

          Stop the abuse!
          Time for some class action lawsuits.

          1. “3. Men should be getting darn tired of the systemic misandry and abuse of men that is government sanctioned and everywhere these days.”

            They have, look at the marriage rate and the fertility rate and the single mother rate, and you will realize that men have checked out of society. A single man without a family to support can live of very little and a huge number of young men have opted for a minimalist lifestyle. It will be the end of civilization and it will be women and children hardest hit because men who have no responsibilities really don’t care.

    1. Ed, I read the item and not once did I see the HCQ cocktail mentioned. Maybe I missed it. Tens of thousands of patients have been helped and thousands of doctors have effectively used it. I take several vitamin supplements one of which is vitamin D.

      1. I have a sneaking suspicion that the author did not mention HCQ as it would almost automatically put a bullseye on the article for it to be deleted within a few hours or dismissed out of hand as a crank theory. Such are the times we live in.

  1. On a practical note, Robert: YouTube reports that “The uploader has not made this video available in your country.”

    Is anyone else on the wrong side of the US border having trouble playing the video?

      1. Yup, I’ve experienced the same bigotry. “You’re Canadian, so you don’t deserve to view this video.”

        Does it matter if I identify as a quadriplegic lesbian of colour?

        Should it? (NO!)

      2. Talking about differences across the border, I had been wondering, do you get a different spelling dictionary?
        Is “color” or “colour” marked as incorrect on your side of the border?

        1. The last time my computer was “updated” the US spelling now shows colour as being spelled incorrectly and other words in Queens English are now spelled “wrong” according to spell check. Words such as cheque now require check.

          1. I was reminded by Mike T below that if you use Windows, you can add another language, and choose that as the default for your computer, instead of United States English. There are about ten different versions of English to choose from, among them Canadian and United Kingdom.

  2. How shallow and unbiased are the North American media? Well a story at True North reports on how Angry Adolf’s CBC had more stories on his hair and funny socks than on Liberal MP scandals. And now Fox News reports on how a Washington Post journalist praised Heels Up Harris’s choice of shoes. Plus we have the current nonstop coverage in the North American media of Trump downplaying the China virus. They ignored and continue to ignore Angry Adolf and Peking Tam saying the virus was low risk to Canadians, masks are unnecessary, flights from China continued, and the public health agency was totally unprepared.

  3. Blacklock reports that Angry Adolf’s government will be paying school children to convince their classmates to eat vegetables. No word yet on whether he will be paying children to spy on their parents.

  4. What the rest of the world see……

    What Canadians see……
    https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/bar-kirouac-patrons-ignored-self-isolation-1.5709397

    from the CBC story….
    “Girard said Wednesday public health orders have been used against two people connected to the Bar Kirouac outbreak — one to oblige someone to stay in quarantine, and another to ensure someone co-operated with the investigation. The public health director has more latitude to apply such orders during a declared health emergency.”

  5. How long will it take, now that WE Charity is closing up shop in Canada, for Trudope to blame the evil Conservatives for forcing this wonderful charity out of his country? His family’s corruption investigation, as the committees are dissolved by proroguing, will disappear and reappear as the CPC’s fault. Maggie will be paid severance of course.

  6. “So as the Drudge Report turns more anti-Trump, we’re left to wonder why. Because Matt won’t say.

    I did get a hint. I have a friend who is actual, real-life friends with Matt. I asked them what the deal is. After all, no website was more pro-Trump in 2016 than the Drudge Report. Matt even ventured to a debate to see it all firsthand. The answer was telling, if only because there’s so little to go on.

    “Maybe he’s sick of nothing being done on the border,” was the gist of the answer.

    If that’s the case, it would be good to know. Because the entire tone of the Drudge Report has changed. Stories about Trump’s failures, impeachment, and Democratic talking points dominate the coverage of the president. Headlines you’d expect to see on the Huffington Post are now in that familiar black text on white background.”

    “In April, Drudge had a noticeable uptick in viewers because of COVID, but now it is back in significant decline. It used to be in the top 10 world wide. Now it is around 4,000 and declining. “

    1. Went woke, going broke?
      Probably switched sides to increase viewage, people without ethics will flip flop for money, people can tell and weed out the frauds.

    2. So many people have dropped Drudge. I am one of them. I probably have not been there in nearly a year and I used to sample it daily. I heard that he had sold it. That makes sense to me. His name is still used, but the content controlled by big bucks.

  7. There is no real evidence of “systemic racism” in Canadian police forces. In Ontario, however, there is clear evidence of “systemic dysfunction” in how misbehaving officers are treated; they are almost never fired, despite egregious behaviour. This is the latest example, in this case in Ottawa:

    “Broken systems will produce bad outcomes, and this system is broken.

    It is, in other words, a textbook case of systemic police dysfunction, one that will fairly be cited by many far less kindly disposed to police than I am as proof that policing is broken, that it cannot be reformed and that it must be destroyed and rebuilt from the ground up.”

    1. Many will remember her as Emma Peel and today’s generation will recognize her from “Game of Thrones.” I loved her as Helena Vesey in “Mother Love.” I recall reading a review at the time calling the series, fittingly, “Smother Love.”

      I read “Abelard and Heloise” at university and remember the professor telling us about Diana Rigg and Keith Mitchell playing the lovers on Broadway and their shocking nude love scene. I couldn’t help but picture Rigg as Heloise as I read.

      1. Don’t forget that she also played Mrs. James Bond, at least for a few minutes, in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

  8. Angry Adolf’s bought and paid for media is excited that Great Leader is about to embark on a virtual fundraising tour for the Liberal Party. Nothing to do with the election of course. Nice that taxpayers are paying for him to take time out to fund raise.

  9. There is a story in the news today about a cottage party resulting in 40 infections and daycare closures, etc. The story originates with a presentation given by Dr. Vera Etches to Ottawa Council. Media, including the CBC seems very alarmed, but as far as I can tell, she uses the story as an example, does not say where it happened or when. Doing a bit of research, I believe it may have happened back in July. It is a fair example of potential transmission patterns, but I also think increased immunity over time needs to be looked at. Also it is an example of media scare mongering. Every last case seems to garner headlines of “cases”, even though cases are way down from several months ago and far fewer deaths at this point. This puts things into perspective: https://off-guardian.org/2020/09/09/flu-is-killing-more-people-than-covid19-and-has-been-for-months/

    1. Excellent article. We need a similar analysis of the data in Canada, but that will never happen because the results would undermine the official narrative, fully endorsed by the mainstream media, that we need more government controls and billions more in government spending.

  10. Parody?

    Who the heck can tell these days.

    This REAL PRESIDENT is so committed to stopping #ClimateCrisis that he bought a $12 million house on a beach, despite only making $400,000 a year for the past 8 years. Barack Obama knows that if we don’t defeat this existential threat, he stands to lose more than anyone.

  11. Well I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you! Angry Adolf’s bought and pair for media reports that Great Leader’s government has broken the law again. Former finance minister Bill Morneau has been fined three hundred dollars for breaking the election rules in regards to promoting Liberal candidates at taxpayer expense. No word on whether he will use the old excuse, I’m entitled to my entitlements.

  12. In less than 2 weeks the bong is going to bring down a budget that will feature the greatest theft of Canadians assets by the libranos this country has ever experienced. The table is being set and they are going to roll the dice banking on the ndp and blockheads getting enough goodies to vote with the government or, if defeated, winning a majority.

    The boys in quebekkie must be gleeful in anticipation.

    It’s the best of times and the worst of times depending on where you live.

    1. Why should we be surprised? Before the Magna Carta, everything belonged to the king. Now that Prinz Dummkopf has all but torn that up, we’re back to good old feudalism.

  13. I think I finally figured out what the Biden campaign is doing. It is called peremptory strike.
    They are making ridiculous accusations on what should be Trump’s best talking points. It doesn’t matter they are all lies. Just like “Russia” and “some white supremacists are fine people”, they are keeping the meme going despite it. They want to take away from Trump the ability to take credit for his best achievements.
    The New York City metropolitan area has been worst hit by the Wuhan Flu. At one point around April when it peaked, it accounted for almost half of the country’s cases and deaths, with less than 5% of the population. Obviously the Democratic governor and/or Democratic mayor really blew that one. So what does di Blasio do? Accuse Trump. If Trump just denies the accusation, or even makes a counter accusation, to the casual uninformed voter it just seems like a he said he said situation.
    That stupid Atlantic article out of the blue, manufactured out of whole cloth, claims Trump said dead American soldiers buried in France were suckers. The rank and file in the Armed Forces love Trump as much as they hated Obama. They know that Trump has their back. has increased defensive spending to rebuild the Armed Forces. He has made our so-called NATO allies pay their agreed upon fair share. He has had successful peace offensives, instead of sacrificing soldiers in interminable wars with no American interest involved, like the previous four globalist presidents did. But no matter how much testimony from people who were there that the accusation was not true, again, that accusation is out there, just like we never got rid of “Russia” or “fine people.”
    And the latest was a Biden ad with supposedly a steel worker who voted for Trump in 2016, but will not this year, because he didn’t fulfill his promise to the steel workers. Let alone the facts are just the opposite. Trump’s policies (higher tariffs on foreign steel, tax inducements for reopening steel mills) has caused long closed steel mills to reopen, and brought thousands of jobs back to what had been derisively referred to as the Rust Belt.
    I don’t know what I would do against such attacks, but I sure hope Trump has more up his sleeve than just plain denial. Some sort of counterattack to blow up the whole scheme is needed.

    So when does Truth, Justice, and the American way start to kick in and bring some of these reprobates in front of a Citizens Court of Deplorables. If the lid isn’t blown off this attempted coup before the election then the last four years of Trump’s administration will never be recorded in history as America’s Finest Hour because the Democrats will bury it in a lead-lined sarcophagus somewhere in the Marianna Trench after they usurp the election.
