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."

“Canadian Soldiers are murderers signs”
On the front page of the Calgary Herald is one of the guys who was saying it. They were holding up a previous clipping from a Calgary Herald – “NATO attack on Taliban kills 60 civilians”
I doubt the media will mention that even though a CBC microphone was half-way shoved up the guys ___
And the same goes for the pacifist person. Microphones all over. I’m going to have to start carrying a recorder myself when I go to visit my friends.
yo..syncro…us trailer trash resemble that remark(my 2 brothers and myself served 50 yrs, and yes, we needed a job at the time)…we eventually morphed into those pro’s u mentioned…damn fine training….GO ARMY
Stephen at 02:40: When Christ had a dozen disciples and a few score hangers-on, what percentage of the population of the Holy Land did that number represent?
I don’t know. I have a better idea of what Christ would have said on the subject of suddenly bailing out on people in need.
The reality is that mainstream media is not changing the way it manipulates and presents the news simply because of the internet entering into the lives of Canadians.
No doubt the media has taken notice but the hard left is deep-rooted in the bowels of the established Canadian media.
All of them!
Recently watching Kevin Newman on Global in Afghanistan showing clips of Taliban shooting at our forces, simply reinforced my view, they are sending Canadians the same message that Taliban Jack Layton mouths every day.
Same thing with CBC and CTV, manipulate the news to the left.
What will it take to get a conservative media voice across Canada?
Only some entity like FOX News in my view, and that may be years away or perhaps never, because generations have grown up in this country never have been fed anything but left wing pap from MSM, thereby believing what they hear, see and read as truth.
The internet is helping somewhat , but I despair as long as the same ownership of the current MSM conglomerates remain as Canadian news disseminators.
Hezbollah has set up shop in Paraguay and Brazil, as well. There are Jews all over the world who must be “resisted,” you see.
{MichaelTotten*s view as he points out that courts of Argentina have actions underway to seek justice against Hezbollah for the bombing . . .
**The international movement to turn the screws on the Party of God is only gaining momentum. It now includes a country all the way down in South America.
BUENOS AIRES (AFP) – Argentine prosecutors charged Iran and the Shiite militia Hezbollah with the 1994 bombing of a Jewish charities office in Argentina that killed 85 people and injured 300. **
Let the international pressure against the Fattan build. There will be a tide. I just hope it comes in time.

From cbc on french rioting
“A group of teenagers set a bus on fire Saturday in the southern port city of Marseille, seriously injuring a passenger.”
Same story from fox
“A fire started, seriously injuring a 26-year-old woman who suffered second- and third-degree burns on her arms, legs and face.The woman was breathing Sunday with help from a respirator, the Marseille hospital system said. Doctors were deeply worried about lung damage from smoke.”
From reuters
“French President Jacques Chirac condemned on Sunday an attack by vandals on a bus in the southern city of Marseille, which left a young woman severely burned and in a critical condition.”
From International Herald Tribune (edited in Paris)
“Nothing to see here move along”
No doubt about it. Socialist France is in denial.
Also of note. France is now the second largest supplier of arms to third world countries. The number one supplier is (I know the lefties all believe it to be Amerika and the evil George Bush, wrong) It’s that other cradle of democracy (tongue firmly planted in cheek) Russia!
Remember the Support Our Troops rally in Edmonton this Friday at 11:30. Let’s show them and their families our support.

Someone has to do the heavy lifting so the progressive types can wax poeticaly.
Good on you and your bros….and I assume you understand I used trailer park trash in the finest sense of the phrase.
Go Army….Go Mobile…

These protests coming just after a news release from al Queda identifing Canada as a primary target for a terrorist action on the scale of 9/11, 7/7, Madrid, etc.
As an aside, the release also called us “second rate Crusaders” and a nation of “fanatical Christians.”
The NDP, various marxist and communist parties, Islamofascists, various gay and lesbian groups, and unions have come together with the only logical common denominator being anarchy and the destruction of our country.
Sounds like revenge of the rational and moral rejects to me. The unfortunate part is Canada’s leftist media giving them a voice.
“If I wasn’t such a pacifist, I’d put my fist in your fucking head.”
– pretty much summarizes the mentality of this debouched rabble.
It’s increasingly difficult to consider these types sentient, and therefore part of the human race.
Stockade? No. Zoo? Yes.
Soldiers are exercising their right to choose for freedom.
God bless our troops.
“In his post, Richard implicitly claimed to be on the side of ‘understanding’ and putting things in their proper ‘perspective.’ Yet, without even addressing anything at all of the substance of the anti-war demonstrators’ position, Richard dismissed their views based on 1) the number of the demonstrators relative to the population of the city; and 2) their union affiliation.”
Had you been paying attention to the actual post Stephen, you would have seen that it was ALL about numbers and that I was on topic.
But I think the basic point still stands: pace Richard’s implication, being one of only a few people to say something that contradicts the majority view does not make you wrong or a ‘moonbat.’
No, continually saying something that is wrong, in the face of unsurmountable evidence, makes one a moonbat.
Doing so while representing a labour organization makes one an even bigger moonbat.

oopsie… sorry for the double post…
Of course civilians are going to get killed, the Taliban cowards hole up among civilians, women and children, it’s part of their strategy. They want to get the most bang on the sympathy scale, they do not care about human life, theirs or anyone elses.
Who falls for it? The Loony, Loopy Left. Jack and Alexa, and Dawn , The Moonbat Trio.
It is always interesting to note that the Taliban want our troops out of Afghanistan while Jack Layton and these left wing loser protesters also want them out.
Interesting, but not particularly surprising.
“If I wasn’t such a pacifist, I’d put my fist in your fucking head.”
And seeing as how much you’re a peaceful, non-threatenting terrorist sympathizer, I can see why.
I have come to the conclusion that only when they start looting our stores & murdering citizens here . Will the left even begin to understand the peril where in today. If not the population as a whole. Triumphism has played its part in thinking where invulnerable.
Our win over the Soviet dictatorships have created a climate of hubris. This has allowed the illness of self righteousness smugness to the point of utter unreality. If we are to avoid another dark age we had best gird ourselves for a long siege.
I had hoped it would not end in millions dying, but it sure looks headed that way because of the refusal of some, to see reality beyond there personnel code of belief. God Bless the Canadian Troops.
A CNN to a CBC that they will continue this intentional farce. That these will be the first to turn informant if conquered, or to spy on there fellow Citizens. Be sure of it.
There will be plenty of quislings. Mostly all from the left no doubt. S well as the craven.
Hey , if you can ignore the grievous wrongs done to certain Muslim Women, while yelling for there rights to kill babies. Ignore the fact that they have no unions. That there is no equality of law. That Gays are food for the sword.
Nothing is past doing by these deluded souls. Who will try to save themselves at the expense of others lives.
Our own Myths & foolishness by utopian fantasists, pretending to be democrats. While enforcing draconian PC laws & multicult stupidity. Will be the breeding ground for collaborators being intimate with opportunists. Time will tell. Just my opinion.
“Pathetic, I heard one guy shouting about no more war for oil!! Ummmm hey dipstick, Afghanistan doesn’t have any oil!!”
No, it doesn’t. But it is strategically important in an oil-rich region and on a much-coveted oil pipeline route.
Exile,
Hey, maybe you’re right, Afghanistan is an important oil pipeline route. But why not exterminate the Taliban and al Queda at the same time?
BTW, do you drive a car?
YO Adrian..don’t dirty up this site..go back to the filth of Mclelland’s evil domain,and STAY THERE !! GO ARMY !
As George Bush said it – this is not a war between civilizations, but rather a war for civilization.
The anti-war protestors would be only too happy to see UN troops pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan. That way, the centuries old religious and tribal carnage would go on, unobstructed by the UN forces. But the lefties would not have to worry about that in the least, because their media hacks would soon lose interest in reporting anything over there. Out of sight, out of mind – that’s the lefties’ philosophy on life.
It’s so amusing to read about the vast left-wing conspiracy that is the MSM. CanWest Global and Bell Globemedia a front for socialism (which using the logic of most here is the same as Islamic fascism)? Asper and Thompson pinkos? Haha. Faux News honest reporting? Hahaha.
Perhaps you’ve noticed that reality has a certain left wing bias. And since a moonbat is supposed to be someone who refuses to acknowledge reality, I guess that makes most small dead minds…moonbats.
Eh? Reality has a left wing bias? Only someone truly indoctrinated could say something so profoundly stupid. The reality in Afghanisatn is that if we stay people are going to get killed, and if we leave MORE people are going to get killed. That certainly doesn’t sound left-wing to me.
The CBC and the progressive Canada ruiners are continually showing us that the french experiment and the resulting multi-culturalism experiment have gone far enough and do not work.
Canada is losing its soul and we need to have a referendum as to whether Quebec should stay in Canada or not.
Canada is america meaning we are the loyalist americans to the throne. And you CTV and the progressive socialists have tried to reinvent us and reinvent who we are. And were almost succeeding to a certain level but the Islaamic Fascist have thrown a monkey wrench into your plans. And if Canada further looses and if she does not rediscover her identity as american loyalist we are history finished kaput. We need to support the war against terrorism and be faithful to our word and commitment.
Quebec has to be asked to go and find her own way. She is french and has no reason to be held loyal to the British crown. We need to re understand who Canada is we are the loyalist Americans to the British throne.
How many soldiers and civilians, underground members, spies and many others have died in past wars so these terrorist supporters can demonstrate. How many more will die so they can continue to sleepwalk thru life. If you know where they work, boycott the business.
Perhaps you’ve noticed that reality has a certain left wing bias.
Reality has no bias. Bad choices, on the other hand, does certainly have a left wing bias.
Bad choices…can be made by left or right. The current problem, the unwinnable “War on Terror” was made by Mr. Bush, who just happens to be right wing. That it’s unwinnable by conventional military action is becoming quite obvious to anyone who doesn’t have their head stuck up their ass…even many high ranking military people think so and are saying so publically.
So what do we do now? We can’t stay, we can’t leave and we can’t nuke ’em. The West has made a bad problem worse by thinking that all it would take to make the Islamists behave is a good bitch slapping.
History has proven that occupying Afghanistan is doomed to fail. But now that Stevie has hitched his wagon to George for the long haul things will be different, eh? The definition of insanity is doing the same things the same way over and over again expecting a different result.
Some quick points Ibernia;
1. This is not a “conventional military action”, if it were we would not be conducting reconstruction and aid initiatives at the same time as warfighting.
2. This is not an “occupation” either, NATO has been asked by the duly elected government of Afghanistan to help in reconstructing and rebuilding the infrastructure of the Afghani State.
3. The parralell you draw to historic conquests of Afghanistan does not hold water. It is not a conquest and even if it were, neither the Brits nor the Russians had the support of an elected Afghan government and by inferance the support of the majority of the Afghan voters in their conquests
The problem here is that we in the west have become so used to things being easy. It is easy for us to live, hardships are few, there is plenty of food and work and wealth. So now that we are involved in a war where things are not exactly sailing along at an easy pace, some of the people, whom I call the Fat Dumb and Happy crowd are wondering why it isn’t so easy. They begin to question if all the effort is worth it. They look around and smugly note that they are still Fat, Dumb and Happy and because the hard work going on isn’t impacting their Fat, Dumb and Happy existance they write it off as useless.
The Fat, Dumb and Happy are oblivious to history, they forget that everything that they have is due to the hard work of others. They forget that every “right” they have was fought for and won by someone who was not allowed to be Fat, Dumb and Happy until the work was done.
By the way, another definition of insanity could be seeing things that are not realy there.
The dangerous problem with leftoids like Iberia and his mentor, Jack Layton, is they forever criticize, but offer no logical alternatives.
Jack Layton demands the troops out of Afghanistan.
Then what Jack?
Send them to Darfur.
What, we invade Darfur?
Oh, uh…hmmm.
However, I do think there needs to be better thinking on Iraq and Afghanistan. I don’t see the ‘long war’ idea as good strategy. All out, short and brutal war starting in terrorist strongholds would be smarter. Kick the shit out of them without concern as to what the CNN, CBC or the BBC crowd thinks. Annihilate the bastards. Afghanistan, the same thing. Tell Pakistan we’re going to bomb the shit out of northern Pak tribal areas until every single last one of these scumbags are dead.
The war against terror is BS as well. Rather, it should be called what it is: The war against radical Islam, or The war against Jihad.
This is a war of words as well and as such ‘The religion of peace’ must go. For the rest of the world, there is nothing peaceful about Islam.
Barring all of the above:
Get the hell out of Islamic lands. Cut off Muslim immigration and travel. Heavily monitor and force integration of Muslims already here. Give no charity or handouts to majority Islamic countries. And use the money that otherwise would’ve been targeted for war and security, to develop alternative, made at home fuel sources.
Let the primates live in their primitive, uncivilized culture and finish each other off. And let the rest of the world live out our lives without these savages.
Irwin Daisy, IMO, you missed two important necessary requirements of western nations(regardless of whether the Islamo terrorists are mopped up, or if the west simply withdraws and leaves them to their own miserable devices) and these are:
1) a strenghtened anti-ballistic missile defence system, including perhaps space based lasers,
and
2) much strenghtened (homeland) security nets around each and every western country.
Because either way, these fruitcakes will eventually get their hands on nuclear weapons and they will use them against us. Nuke warheads on ballistic missiles, and/or ‘suitcase’ size nukes smuggled into our cities, they will do as they have threatened. It’s just a matter of time.
WHAT IF THEY GAVE AANTIWAR PROTEST AND NOBODY CAME?
Joe Canuck,
Agreed.
Also, a strong deterrent would be required. Like, one more terrorist attack against the west and you can kiss Mecca goodbye. Given that the Haj is one of their five pillars, nuking Mecca might just end the whole filthy cult. And what terrorist organisation would want to be responsible for that?
It seems apparent that the tentative half measures, cautioned by what the media and polls say is no way to win this, or any other war. It is also emboldening these apes.
