Two readers have emailed me about this;
“I just heard an audio clip on cfra on the drive home that enraged me.
At an all candidates meeting in Refrew, ON. (“up the valley” from Ottawa) last night, a WW2 vet (one Mr. Tomkins) stood up and asked the Liberal candidate, Don Lindsay, what plans the Liberals had to compensate handgun owners for seizing their private property. Instead of answering the question immediately, Lindsay started by spouting Martins favorite line: “The United States is our neighbour. This is Canada. And if you want to live that lifestyle, perhaps you better move there”. The crowd instantly became very vocal and started shoting at Lindsay. Imagine the nerve, the GALL of this man to TELL A WW2 VET to MOVE TO THE US!
I was FURIOUS! And I still am…
Lindsay is running in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke..
update – Lindsay loses control at Debate

Flashback – “take your NRA , GUN LOVING ASS BACK TO THE U.S. WHERE YOU BELONG”
Another former Ottawa Valley resident here, now living in Toronto. Nothing surprises me from Liberal candidates any more. This is identical to what got the Libs launched out of that riding in the first place. I have been following my old riding rather closely and from what I see in their local press, Mr. Lindsay is just spewing central party rhetoric whenever he can, he had probably been waiting all night to throw out the Liberal ‘America’s our neighbour , not our nation’ style sound byte. Now that I’m a Toronto Tory what I miss most about my old riding is the common sense of the voters up there. Hopefully they will be sending their conservative MP back to Ottawa with a resounding majority.
Had that scum bag Liberal said this to me personally I would be tempted to engage in some 19th century Canadian politics and thrash his pencil neck ass.
The hypocritical toxicity of this Liberal candidate’s outburst is that he claimed to be a hunter and firearms owner…..how sick is that?
And since we are on the subject of abortion, let me tell you a little story…
My two children were delivered by the good Liberal, Dr. Carolyn Bennett, at Women’s College Hospital on Devil’s Island (read Toronto).
We were informed, repeatedly, that the second pregnancy was high-risk and that ultrasounds showed a strong probability of existing brain damage. If the child was brought to term, it would, in all likelihood, be a vegetable.
My wife and I decided to let the gods rule.
I can inform you that our son, now 11 years old, is not normal.
He is a gifted athlete. He is as handsome as the day is long. And he has a full-scale IQ of 142, which puts him at the 99.7 percentile rank of the population.
Suffer the children…

Big Joe Mufferaw. (H/T Bernie Bedore)
…..
And they say Big Joe put out a forest fire,
halfway between Renfrew and old Arnprior
He was fifty miles away down around Smith Falls
but he drowneded out the fire with five spit balls
Hey-Hi, Hey-Hi-Ho, the best man in Ottawa was Mufferaw Joe,
Mufferaw Joe
Well he jumped into the Calabogie Lake real fast
and he swam both ways to catch a cross-eyed-bass
But he threw it on the ground and said “I can’t eat that”
So he covered it over with Mount Saint Patt
Hey-Hi, Hey-Hi-Ho, the best man in Ottawa was Mufferaw Joe,
Mufferaw Joe
And they say Big Joe drank a bucket of gin
And he beat the living tar of the twenty nine men
And high on the ceiling of the Pembroke Pub
There is twenty-nine boot marks and they are signed with love
Hey-Hi, Hey-Hi-Ho, the best man in Ottawa was Mufferaw Joe,
Mufferaw Joe
Big Joe Mufferaw paddled into Mattawa
all the way from Ottawa in just one day
Hey-Hey
On the river Ottawa the best man we ever saw
was Big Joe Mufferaw the old folks say
Come and listen and I’ll tell you what the old folks say
They say Hey-Hi, Hey-Hi-Ho, the best man in Ottawa was Mufferaw Joe,
Mufferaw Joe
Big Joe Mufferaw, Big Joe Mufferaw, Big Joe Mufferaw, Big Joe Mufferaw,
Big Joe Mufferaw, Big Joe Mufferaw, Big Joe Mufferaw, Big Joe Mufferaw,
Big Joe Mufferaw >>

Bruce: ty for the “boost” :o) I think once we get govt and the MSM out of the equation, there’s very little difference between you yanks and us canucks. We just play better hockey! ;o)
Ninja: thanks for the perspective on rural people in Ontario.I have NO doubt they are fine people 🙂
Now, if only we could clean the sh*t outta the ears of those brainwashed urbanites :oP
My Mom , also a WWII war vet – she worked in London, England for the RCAF whose motto for the RCAF women was: “We serve so that Men may fly” told me that she knew via a soldier (a P.O.W.) who had BEEN THERE; that the Soviet Union P.O.W. s were loaded on trains after the war, from Germany where they had been in prison camps. Some of those P.O.W.s had had their weapons returned but they appartently did not have ammo. When they got to Stalin Land they were shot on arrival or sent to gulags. Stalin did not want men around who knew how to use a gun. Now, What do you think pmpm is afraid of ???
Look… I’ve lived almost my entire life in the Ottawa Valley. I love it there; the people are kind and generous, the area is beautiful, and it’s always been home to me like no other place on Earth. But your talk here…it’s not the Ottawa Valley I know, but the talk of a lynch-mob.
Why?
Someone here said that Canada does not support freedom, but it’s the Conservative party that does not support freedom. What about gay people, what about rape victims who become empregnated, what about the poor, what about the natural beauty that is the Ottawa Valley? There is a lot more at stake here than your right to own unregistered guns. There are more people and opinions in Canada than you and your own. They are your family and friends. Always remember the rights of others.
