  1. Roy Green asked his audience today whether or not they were in support of the GZ Mosque. About 85% of them were in support of it. The reasons they gave were “interesting” though. I suggested to Green that if he had the time to scratch the surface of these callers’ thoughts, he’d find vehement anti-American feelings in every single case.

  3. Hmm. Never heard of that blog before. Based on my brief visit there, won’t be back, unless linked to again by SDA. Seemed unnecessarily provocative, and not really sure what point was being made.
    I wouldn’t call all Americans rude, arrogant assholes based on my run in with this fellow, unlike his tarring all Canadians with the anti-American brush based on that actions of a pacifist few.

  5. Odd that the jihadists aren’t going after only the US, though…..isn’t it?
    As for the Roy Green show today, I think the calls were likely very filtered.

  8. How true! San Fran marxists are so brilliant, elegant, rich, and cultured, even their illegal alien Hispanic domestics must have sociology degrees. Toronto’s renegade bourgeoisie left is mutton trying to pass as lamb in comparison.

  9. The thing that I found very frustrating on the Roy Green show today was the nonsensical use of the phrase “Islamaphobia”. The use of language like that is typical of the left wing. They attempt to portray anyone who doesn’t see things their way are “afraid”….as opposed to perhaps being “aware”.
    And the question that has to be put to those apologists is simply this…..what would they say if those opposed to the mosque at Ground Zero threatened violence and destruction if the mosque were built? It seems that the response to something should be measured on on how much emotion or how vile the threats are. True hypocrisy.
    The apologists are like a beaten wife who walks on egg shells around her violent, unpredictable and drunk husband. Afraid to do what she wants or to say what she wants for fear of being beaten. So she stays silent….and submissive.
    Pathetic, really.
    So next, the muslim community will be demanding the recognition of sharia law…..and if the demands are not met, there will be violence….and on and on it goes.
    This really says it all:

  10. Robert W says “John, one word: Nope. Roy, who I have a very good rapport with, adamantly told me that no calls were screened.”
    Sorry…..I don’t believe that for one second. The tone of the show today was much, much different from typical shows. If the calls were not screened, then there was obviously a coordinated effort by callers to present the pro-mosque view. Nope…something very different about the show today. His interview with the guy from the Toronto Sun was rather bizarre.

  11. I found the survey interesting in that Iran and North Korea were considered to be allies by 7% and 5% respectively. Iran has not been remotely friendly since the Shah was deposed and as for North Korea … they have been belligerent since 1951. What is wrong with these people? Have they been living in a bomb shelter for the last 50 years and have just ventured out?
    I suppose if the same cretins were surveyed in 1942, they would have looked upon Germany and Japan as basically good old boys with some minor expansionist issues.

  12. Waiting for the lesson that those who allow themselves to be walked over will be walked on is
    too depressing.
    Perhaps tomorrow Sunday we should all review some recent videos, on the abuse of young girls
    by rich and powerful men, and on the aftermaths of attacks on women
    using acid, fire etc., and read out loud some of
    Khomeini’s gamier passages on sheep, and at the end
    say, Thank God we’re Christians!”

  14. For What It’s Worth
    According to a Rasmussen Poll of Sept. 8, the stupid American public would like to follow George Washington’s advice that the United States should be ‘a friend to all and an ally of none,’ with five exceptions. The hopelessly simple adult Americans polled thought we should come to the defense of only five countries: Canada, the United Kingdom, Israel, Germany and Mexico:
    “Eighty percent (80%) of American Adults say the United States should provide military help to Canada if it’s attacked, and just 14% disagree.
    But while 32% of U.S. voters say Canada’s nationalized health care system is better than private health care in the United States, 51% disagree and think the United States has the better health care system.
    It looks like the British Petroleum oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico hasn’t spoiled the special relationship with Great Britain. If Great Britain is attacked, 74% say the United States should help militarily. Seventeen percent (17%) oppose military help like America provided in World Wars I and II.”

  15. Colin,
    W.O.R.M. directed that article to Canadians who believe America is a war monger, not to all Canadians.
    You need to pay more attention (and be less sensitive).
    W.O.R.M. has written a more recent article on Canada in which he mentions his fondness for Kate.

  16. Beagle, until you can state what the “some probability” was in the study, please don’t bother me with your alarmist rubbish. What was that probability? One in 10? One in a million?
    Now back on the main topic. Wormier makes the usual mistake of taking hysterical statements from articles far from the Canadian mainstream and portraying them as illustrative of overall attitudes. Unless he can show that it’s the editorial position of major Canadian newspapers, for example, he’s got nothing. One might almost suspect him of publishing provocative rubbish simply in the hope of driving up traffic to his site.

  17. of interest to the peak oil deniers:
    Nah, baseless prognostication of doom is more of interest to shrieking-ninny peak oil lunatics.

  19. Exploding sauerkraut brings in Hazmat team
    http://www.ctvbc.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20100910/bc_exploding_sauerkraut_100910/20100910?hub=BritishColumbiaHome
    Students were quarantined and a hazardous materials team had to be brought in after an exploding can of sauerkraut caused a botulism scare at a high school in Prince George, B.C.
    Twenty-four students and four staff members at Kelly Road Secondary School were put into quarantine Friday afternoon after a can of the preserved cabbage exploded in a food sciences class.
    Teachers didn’t know what was inside the can when it blew up, and called the local fire department and police to prevent an outbreak of botulism, a potentially fatal disease caused by bacteria sometimes found in canned food.
    Obviously, a plot by GERMAN terrorists trying to blow up the school…quick call in JTF2, CSIS, RCMP, etc….
    Cheers

  20. For those of you who are not “Arrogant worms” fans (yet)
    I suggest a song named “The War of 1812” – by the Arrogant worms. It seems rather germane to the topic.
    Also recommend “The toronto song” and “proud to be canadian” And my personal favorites: “Mounted animal nature trail” and “History is made by stupid people”

  21. Not off topic as this experience delivers a message contrary to Adlers callers.
    The US MArine Core Band played in the Social Heart Plaza in my community of North Delta. At least 500 people were there with only one days notice. The crowd was very receptive and when the Bandmaster introduced the Iraqi war Veterans in the Band the whole crowd applauded vigorously and most stood and applauded. It left a bit of a lump in my throat. I was sure some brain dead moron would be there protesting.

  22. “anti-American feelings in every single case”.
    If you ran the show in California you would get
    the same results & anti-American feelings..where did you think the feelings came from..Third world country thinkers frequently feel better about themselves when they side with the Marxists world view…

  24. The war of 1812 was the US vs Great Britain.Canada as a nation didnt exist.I’ve saidthis before but I shall repeat it,Canada should have traded places with Poland about 1935 or before and then Canadians would know what bad neighbors were realy like.Polands neighbors would have been classed as war mongers by any definition.

  25. The real cause of the War of 1812 was not the causus beli usually cited by those who started it the americans. Allegedly it was because the RN was impressing american sailors into the RN. The real causus beli was RN interferrence with american shipping (the transatlantic slave trade) and the opportunity presented by Britain’s long involvement in the Napoleanic War.
    When Napolean was defeated at Leipzig and exiled to Elba, and the US had lost territory and only gained Fort Erie in Canada (unable to defeat the few dregs of the British forces, a tiny UEL militia and the Indians)….Peace talks in Paris began.
    The US feared defeat by a powerful, and undistracted Britain and Britain was war weary after the long Napoleanic War.

  26. Canadians need to read their history. We’ve been in quite a few wars and we’ve repelled the Americans before.
    Americans, too, need to pick up a book. And this “we can beat you up any time we want” stuff is juvenile.

  27. There was nothing “alleged” about thousands of American seamen being impressed into the Royal Navy. In one case, a U.S. warship was actually fired upon (with American sailors killed)and boarded before sailors were removed. Since the British did not recognize the American concept of naturalization, they operated on the principle of “Once a Briton, always a Briton,” so former British sailors and deserters were ostensibly the object of their searches and seizures.
    No wonder that Americans got to participate, however unwillingly, in such great British naval victories as Trafalgar! And during the War of 1812, some impressed Americans were even forced to serve on naval gun crews firing on their own countrymen.
    The U.S. could hardly go to war to protest British interference in America’s Atlantic slave trade — since that trade had already been banned by BOTH countries. However, Britain and France each attempted to control the maritime commerce of neutral nations (such as the U.S.)in waging economic warfare against the other power. (Hence the “Quasi-War” against France during the Adams administration.)

  28. The war of 1812 was a draw. First British kicked out the Americans and then the American kicked out the British. Which doomed Alberta to live surrounded by whining liberals.
    Also they have strategic nuclear weapons and we have….

  29. Hey, that Worrme dude is actually pretty cool. Like one poster alluded to, I would also have him over for a fine steak and good beer.
    And here he thought we were the freest people around. LMAO!!!
    Gonna have to follow his blog for a bit…

  30. Yes, Mr. Sasquatch, you’ve pretty much got it. The Americans launched the War of 1812 for one reason only: they wanted to take Quebec, and they believed that Britain was too engaged against Napoleon in Europe to be able to defend it.
    The British blockade of Europe was conducted solely for the purpose of defeating Napoleon. Had the Americans been seriously interested in getting it lifted, they would have done what they could to hasten that defeat. The very fact that they entered the war on Napoleon’s side tells you that blockade had nothing to do with it. And of course, nothing that happened in the St. Lawrence Valley or the Great Lakes was going to have any effect on the navies of the North Atlantic, and yet that was where the Americans fought.
    So the war wasn’t a “draw”. The Americans fought solely to take Quebec. They failed. The British fought solely to hold Quebec. They succeeded. The British win.
    Mr. Kinyobe, you might follow your own advice. The Civil War made the USA a great military power for the first time, and then and ever since, the consensus has been unanimous that Canada is indefensible against American attack. Indeed, the principle motivating factor for Confederation was to give Canada an ostensibly independent government so that if it were attacked, it could safely be left to be overrun without necessarily drawing Britain into war with the USA. The idea that we’ve beat them before, we’d beat them again, is laughable.

  31. “The idea that we’ve beat them before, we’d beat them again, is laughable.”
    EBT:
    You got it right. The notion that Canada has the resources to defeat the US is laughable. It would be no contest. But I happen to like Americans, and I think they like us as well.
    It is always best to be friends with a giant…
