  1. This week we discovered with the experience of David Menzies accompanied by his 9 year old son being assaulted by an Islamist woman for the crime of breaking Sharia Law in downtown Toronto.
    She, and her 20 screaming associates, were then allowed to leave without being charged or even admonished by the police, who gave her the most sympathetic hearing this side of Tehran.
    Now Canadians are wondering, have Toronto police converted and are now enforcing Sharia Law?
    Our fall, just as was our rise, is tied to that of our American cousins. Our citizenry is far more compliant than is America’s. If it’s a race to Armageddon, we’re still competitive.

  2. I’ll be getting the Kindle version, so no autograph for me. But I do hope it contains the same “must kill people as directed by Mark Steyn” goodness that the printed version will obviously have (according to the bright lights at the Mope & Flail, that is).

  3. I worship him like a god, but he has the worst signature, doesn’t he? And he really should know that Kate’s never seen a hill.
    (I’m resentful because I want a free copy, so that I can laugh and laugh as the whole world goes to hell.)

  4. Can you imagine the damage done, the $millions of lost business if it had been some American tourist criminally assaulted by the tent woman and the story was played all over US news organizations?
    Time for Mayor Ford to “talk” to his Police Force about dealing with assault & battery properly, regardless of one’s religion.

  7. There aren’t many hills in Sask, but sometimes a coulee is good enough.;)
    Black Mamba beat me to the hill joke, my Grandfather had a hill in his farm outside of Unity, it took 3 days for his neighbor’s dog to run away…

  8. No wonder unemployment so low, not many want to work in a slum province. What it reminded me of on a recent trip, the roads are something else.

  9. Black Mamba: That’s a doctor’s signature, eh?
    His handwritten note fascinates me. For a variety of reasons related to my past, I associate that handwriting with high intelligence. Were I given 12 handwriting samples (including the sample here) and asked to pick Steyn’s, that’s the one I’d pick.
    I wonder how long he practiced that careless signature. I vividly remember practicing mine during my impressionable youth, which people invariably describe as highly artistic (the signature, not the youth). I can also remember trying to ape that handwriting which style a brilliant professor and a very brilliant old friend shared. The friend, who gassed himself to death in his car with all his possessions a few years back, was reputed to have an IQ of 150+. Steyn’s, and probably Kate’s, would be in this region, I’m guessing. Not to suggest at all that IQ is that important in the final analysis (said he, of probably only moderately above average IQ, tho he really doesn’t know what it is and is in no hurry to find out!).

    You should be warned that Police Forces is not politically correct, the proper title is Police Services, so beware that the language cops may be coming for you.

    Here we go with the Saskatchewan put-downs by people that have no idea what this province has to offer. I ran into an individual from Windsor that was here working at the Coop Upgrader, because he could not support his family in Ontario. He had worked at other plants in the Province and was very complimentary about the province and the people. He is one of many people that have come to Saskatchewan to find work, and not all of them are represented by the population numbers, since their prime residence is elsewhere. The increase in our population has moved us over 1 million for the first time since early in the last century and is now over 1,000,050. This has happened in the last decade, which is probably after fiddle passed through the province, most likely without a potty break to insure that he didn’t come in contact with the stubble jumpers.

  11. “There aren’t many hills in Sask”
    What ever happened with that hill you were going to build for skiing near Saskatoon,Mt.Blackstrap, did it ever get built?
    After America, I suppose there’ll be no more wars or injustice,just a lot of happy people living together in harmony,so what’s with Steyn’s reference to a battle in the ME that has yet to be fought.
    So far,the score, Muslims 17,000 Infidels 2.
    But, a warning to the Muslims, if we get our backs up……..

    I don’t think you can equate ones signature to their IQ. My IQ tests indicated 160, but my signature is my full name and totally readable without any flourishes. Mark Stein probably modified his signature to make it easier to sign in light of the number of times he has to sign books and such.

  16. ummm. “spray paint” (dam ‘s’ & ‘a’ keys keep switching places on me when I’m not looking)

  17. The graffiti: The Rev T.C. Douglas, 1912-1989, BA, BeD, BTHEOLOG, HFCFCCF, NEWD,RIP.

  18. dmorris at 6:36 PM: “What ever happened with that hill you were going to build for skiing near Saskatoon, Mt.Blackstrap, did it ever get built?”
    =================
    Yes, it did indeed get built. There have been a might too many years without enough snowfall to make it profitable, though.
    Somebody I knew way back when had flown over “Mount Blackstrap” and thought it looked like a giant mastectomy. LOL!
    What we lack in hills we make up for with gorgeous river valleys, all the more special because everything else is so flat.

  19. I just picked up Shake Down yesterday and After America is the next book on my list.
    When Mark signed Kate’s copy of his book it was quality recognizing quality. (Just making a few brownie points).
    We don’t need hills in Saskabush. You could hide armies in the Boreal forest north of Saskatoon. Not so much in the south though, but that is great tank country.

  20. Nice.
    For the record it was way back (or seems like it) in the Kinsella wars (what ever happened to him) that I came to Kts site via an obscure link at Marks.
    I guess I owe Mark, because SDA is home page and has been for as long as.

  21. The fact (if true) that Kate cannot see a hill from her house, does not negate the possibility of hills.

  23. Kate; Mark has to have another blitz with this book and I think you supported the program or somehow through Amazon last time I got a signed copy of America Alone, that was before Obozo was installed, would love to get a signed copy of this book before the brownshirts go door to door, or hill to hill out here. America used to be like a big brother you could count on it seemed, under this regime things in America could go downhill very fast to a martial law, I sincerly hope the hog Oprah is happy she helped install this dope.

  24. Hey, Mark stole my line!
    ‘Only thing is, there aren’t any more hills to head to — in Saskatchewan or anywhere else.

  25. “Here we go with the Saskatchewan put-downs”
    Jeez, Dennis, pull the pole out of your butt. (Putdowns? Try being a lawyer who once practiced and lived in Toronto.)
    BTW, I lived in Sask for five years and can attest there is a hill in Weyburn. They even named it South Hill so people can recognize it.
    Kate, congrats on the book.

    “So far,the score, Muslims 17,000 Infidels 2.”
    That’s cause we haven’t played cowboys and muslims yet.

  28. I live in the hills, bring it on.
    We’ve all had a chance to prepare for this. Those who didn’t have none of my sympathy.
    Time to thin-out the herd.

  30. Got mine via priority post yesterday.
    Same greeting and similar signature. He appears to be very busy signing copies.

  33. For those of you who don’t know. I live in Southern Saskatchewan in the hill country. Near Montana. Did you also know that the highest spot east of the Rockies is in Saskatchewan? In the Cyprus hills?
    There is more to Sask. than what you see from the no.1 highway.

  34. Kate’s heading: BRAVA!
    Kate and Mark are two of a kind—iconoclastic, and doing something about it. What a blessing that they’re around these days.
    (Once upon a time, I lived in Saskatchewan for a short while. Somewhere, I have a tiny photograph—they were, in those days—of a sign by the side of the road, near Lumsden, I believe, that actually said “HILL”. I laughed and laughed. I didn’t see many hills when I was in Saskatchewan.)
    Even where we have hills, we can run, but we can’t hide.

  35. Hey Terry I grew up in Warner, AB ever check out Writing on Stone park? The ‘Hills are cool, camped and summited.No point just remembering the sunrise.

  36. Last summer, a family member found and shared with me, a re-print of a wonderful article that appeared in a local paper from the early 1900’s.
    ‘Twas about a whole train loaded with people, livestock, equipment and goods heading out from this area in Eastern Ontario,for the one week trip to Plenty, Saskatchewan.
    Even with more than a century passing since the words were first written you could still feel the excitement…because as the article said…in Saskatchewan all you have to do is turn the sod.
    With the back breaking work of clearing land and picking stones here that sure must of sounded like a piece of heaven.

  37. Who needs hills in Saskatchewan when some of the deepest coulees around Riverhurst are home to some of the biggest Mule deer bucks around! Ever try dragging the biggest deer out of the deepest ravine? What with archery season coming up in less than a month, Mark’s book looks like a good read after a day of sneaking and skulking around the bushes.
    The political and financial holes that Saskatchewan was in for years that drove my husband and I to Alberta 12 years ago are finally turning around for those (family) who stayed behind.
    Congrats on getting the copy, Kate.
    GO RIDERS!!

  38. dwright…I seem to remember a place called writing on stone.
    I lived in Alberta too. Close to head smashed in buffalo jump. Or as a friend of mine called it, head smashed in bicycle jump. My heart is a Western heart.

  39. If you are heading for the hills … Anyone who is white, (the endangered species – non-whites who don’t hate and blame whites for their own misery are also welcome) English speaking, non-Muslim, unafraid of firearms, not lazy, has a hands-on skill, realistic, fair-minded (not the Leftist’s idea of fair) and willing to do what it takes to survive, I recommend Vancouver island as a great place to stand the high ground. Gentle climate, lots of water, lots of firewood, lots of wild life, long growing season and of course the fishing is excellent..
    Lastly … it has a very big moat.

  40. Got mine today. Great writing as usual, very dense and focussed analysis from the word “Go”.” It starts with the money”, should maybe be your new header.

  41. “There aren’t many hills in Sask”
    As a former “Hilltopper” I resemble that remark.

  42. Terry: Not to make this a social thread, but Head Smashed In (gotta love the native names) is a cliff. Writing on stone is harrowing sandstone canyons, rattlesnakes, and scorpions. Bull snakes and jackrabbits. HSI is federal, RON is provincial (or was when the only ranger was 5 Km away and made it clear that if you call him, you have better be snakebit or have broken bones).
    The point? Just nostalgia of the pre-nanny state world when danger was real and an adventurous boy scout called dwright and friend kenny hiked from the campground to the park boundary, saw cattle grazing on hoodoo bluffs, climbed sheer cliffs and
    untouched paths that boys (we were both 11) had been using for centuries as a rite of passage.
    k story times over BTW I’m 35.

  44. Mine arrived yesterday. A Canadian relative for whom I ordered one as a present will get it, but probably not until its properly held up and inspected, given its suspicious return address label.

  46. Does Mark know there are no hills in Sask.?
    Cool tho … as a book collceter, I would pay money for that particular copy.

  47. I don’t know who this fiddle f%%% is at 5:49 but when 23 year olds can make 32$ plus a good pension that is what I call pretty good. The only ones not making good money in sask. are the lazy welfare bums that support the NDPiss.

  49. That’s cause we haven’t played cowboys and muslims yet.
    sasquatch at August 5, 2011 8:15 PM…..Priceless!!!!
    Man, I just keep visualizing the boardgame opportunity in this.
    I’m beginning to think if there’s an influx of REALLY politically incorrect books, games, comics, snack foods (halal unfriendly) etc. on a MASSIVE level, then we’ll be playing their game, their way (bog down the HRC and cause a meltdown).

  50. I was in western Ontario and could only see Alberta. Where were Manitoba and Saskatchewan, I asked.
