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."

I’d add to Wally J’s comment on the “Tier 3” that I’d think that having the expiration date being entered as “LIFE” also means that it wasn’t something minor like urinating in public. (I’ve read at some U.S. blogs that doing that can get you put on the sex offender registry in some states.) Or screwing his 15-year-old girlfriend when he was aged 16 or the like. It must have been something pretty heinous to get a LIFE on his registry card.

FYI…..in Canadian prisons/jails sex offenders of any stripe are sequestered away from the general population and each other, to the extent of paranoia.
Trustees in the kitchens are closely supervised preparing their meals and are NEVER granted access to the cell units the sex offenders reside.
The guards and prison/jail administration are absolutely convinced that the cons WILL kill them.
Even guards are not allowed access exceptin pairs and are rotated frequently to lesson risk.
The scuttle-butt is that Paul Berrnardo although closely sequestered has had at least 2 attempts on his life.
Just shows that when the whacked out left isn’t sticking it to us, they’re sticking it in the kids.
Who was it that said “you just can’t get away from these people”.
I cannot wait for the civil war.
In the US, he wouldn’t have survived his jail sentence.
~Reginald
Rubbish.
Plenty of your sex offenders survive their sentences in the U.S., the sex registry exists to register living felons who have been released.
What we don’t have in Canada; are Presidents and Governors who can pardon felons, wielding a power to overturn the courts that not even our Sovereign Queen Elizabeth II has.
Don’t tell me, after having watched the O.J. Simpson trial on TV or seeing Obama wipe his butt with your Constitution for over 3 years, about law and order in the United States of America.
Info on Bollenbaugh, the creep in the video and his appeal attempt, sheds some light on the original charges. http://coa.courts.mi.gov/documents/opinions/final/coa/20030911_c240335_60_240335.opn.pdf
Info on the Kalamazoo River Oil Spill featured in the video.
http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/article/99999999/NEWS01/307270024/Kalamazoo-River-oil-spill
Click on more to get all the related news and videos. I find it disturbing that this spill happened in 2010 and it is now 2012 and some of the oil is still there, and may never be totally cleaned up. Enbridge is no poster boy for the oil Industry. Like I posted earlier, their is risk to transporting oil but these companies should expend every penny they have to clean up a mess they create, even if it means bankrupting themselves.
If the green crap movements can’t STFU about the “Tar”Sands a movement of tar and feathering might be in order. Take away oil and products made from it and we’ll be dealing with more than squeaky wheels.
northernont: “Do the crime”
Absolutely. But why do wind farms get to apply for permits to kill bald eagles?
http://www.startribune.com/local/137803668.html
Do you think they give them “big oil”?
northernont- In some cases, oil is left to “flash off” if cleaning it up might tend to cause more damage to the ecosystem. It might take a few years to evaporate, whereas the vegetation could take decades to recover from a full reclamation project. Crude oil is relatively harmless to most vegetation. I’ve seen vegetation that was covered in oil in winter, growing faster than surrounding vegetation that wasn’t touched by oil. If there is still oil on the sites in question, it’s because the government agency has agreed to let it evaporate.
Well the political left mainstreamed homosexuality. Who woulda thunk pedophilia would be far behind?
North of 60 at 2:02 AM: “The people of [‘]Ft. Chip[‘] have always had poor health and a higher than normal incidence of cancer. The elders tell stories of people always being sick. Prior to the oil sands development they blamed it on the WAC Bennett dam. The Athabas[c]a river flows through a region of natural oil seeps that have always contaminated the water.”
“Fort Chip” is located on the northern shore of Lake Athabasca. To the east lies the radioactive deposits on Lake Athabasca around Uranium City, SK. You would think some of the uranium also naturally leeched into the water.
Here is a reply from John Bolenbaugh, to my comment on YouTube, asking why he didn’t mention his criminal record, and sex offender status:
“FOR ONE I DID HAVE IT IN THIS VIDEO AND I HAD SEVERAL REQUEST TO TAKE IT OUT. THEY TOLD ME MY PAST HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS COVER UP. AND I HAD A VIDEO OF JUST MY PAST AND EVERYONE REQUESTED ME TO TAKE IT DOWN. i TOLD THE PRESS BEFORE i EVER REPORTED THE COVER UP TO THE PUBLIC BECAUSE I DON’T CARE ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE LIKE YOU SAY BUT I DO CARE ABOUT MY COMMUNITY. AND I WAS A FOREMAN FOR THE TRANSCANADA XL ONE. AND I AM A UNION PIPEFITTER AND I WAS THE YARD BOSS FOR THE LARGEST YARD FOR ENBRIDGE BEFORE I TRAINED A CANADIAN GUY TO REPLACE ME AND I SWITCHED OVER TO HELP CLEAN UP THE OIL. SO IF IT MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER TO TELL EVERYONE I HAD 3RD DEGREE CONSENSUAL SEX IN 2000 AND I HAVE TO REGISTER THEN GO RIGHT AHEAD. THIS ISNT ABOUT ME IT IS ABOUT THE SICK PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT.”
Tried to get in to the comment section for the video. Locked out, even my personal google and greenpeace account (the latter not actually mine, but I have access through a couple of “sympathisers”). Guess they don’t want any non-biased truthful observations from the outside to confuse the rest of their fellow-traveler supporters.
Pedophiles qualify for refugee status.

“Pedophiles qualify for refugee status.”
Why not, Canada has always been a sanctuary for the world’s worst war criminals, terrorists, and gangsters.
It’s a liberal Club Med that pays you to live in peace while you rally the troops abroad for the next genocide, terrorist attack or even a nice drug dealer retirement.
Draft dodgers, illegal aliens, gangsters, Nazi’s, pedophiles, we take em all, so long as they vote for the Liberal hand that feeds them.
In 1787 Alexander Mackenzie traveled through the North all the way to the Artic.
In the “Peace River Chronicles” now out of print he mentioned oil seeping out on the river banks “in the June Heat”
His Canoemen mixed it with charcoal and patched the seams on their birchbark canoe.
I think this was quite a while before the “Tar Sands”

A days back on Twitter, John Klein aka @saskboy tried passing off John Bolenbaugh as the newest green crusader, without question his exceptionally odd behavior.
But I guess that’s what you get from ideological lefties that are so trying to damage they right that they won’t even do the due diligence on their own side to see if it stands up to scrutiny.
And that’s why they are losing. But the right must be ever vigilant.
@Bruce..I don’t know what my argument for ensuring Oil companies clean up their oil spills has to do with “Wind Energy and bald eagles”. For the record, I am a rabid anti-wind and solar provider, as these technologies are more suited to backyard hobby projects like keeping your garage light on at night, not for providing base electrical power on a commercial scale, propped up by taxpayer subsidies, while literally shredding the avian population.I support the Oil Industry because I realize that oil is not the boogeyman as portrayed to be by the current CAGW loony environmentalists, but ensures the survival of our standard of living. Questioning environmental policies and practices of Oil companies, especially policies for cleanup should be done always, as with any other resource extraction, so the taxpayer is not left footing the bill. Making executives personally liable financially for the actions of their corporations is a good place to start, and this does not just apply to oil companies.
@coach thanks for the info on oil evaporation.

‘….they won’t even do the due diligence on their own side to see if it stands up to scrutiny.”
Who says they care?
After all it is the Liberal Left who want light prison sentences for paedophiles, early release into our communities, anonymity and protection for them, and the rights for us to protect ourselves from them taken away.
Why the surprise for anyone that a radical leftist organization would not embrace a pedophile or any other radical terrorists/ criminals as leaders and hero’s.
Let me see if I follow your logic…
Sex offender opposes pipeline.
Sex offenders are bad.
Therefore people who oppose the pipeline support sex offenders.
Flawless.
John >
“Therefore people who oppose the pipeline support sex offenders.”
Close but not entirely accurate. The Liberal Left supports “sex offenders” by proxy. (Although most of us refer to them as rapists or paedophiles, not simply a liberalized sex offender)
This guy is a “poster child” winner of the radical left award because he’s not in prison for life over his crimes nor his mental illness. He fits in well with the other mentally ill radicals of green peace, and is in fact in debt to the forces of his freedom for the ability to continue sodomizing little boys as he so chooses.
Yeah, neither I, nor anyone else on the left has ever used the term “rapist” or “paedophile”. In fact, we consider the term “sex offender” inappropriate. We prefer “differently minded”, which respects the uniqueness of their souls.
Hoping your know I’m pulling your leg. Can’t count on too much from you guys.
No my friend. The left does not support sex offenders, even by proxy. They might support fair trials, and treatment, but the vast, vast majority of us want them locked away somewhere that they won’t hurt anybody.
And no… he doesn’t fit in well with the left. Being a sex offender, he is likely a skilled manipulator who wins people’s trust.
Should Greenpeace of figured this out? No. Most people don’t run FBI background checks on every interview subject. Is it still embarassing? Of course.
But you guys are attempting to equate it with something it’s not. But hey… that’s why you’re here, right? You’re rightwing nuts, and there are few sites, save Storm Front that are much further to the right.
I’m gonna go try talk to my fridge now. I have about as much hope of communicating with it as I do you guys.
I believe the NG pipeline is going to be built regardless of the machinations of the anti- oil industry lobbyists.
I think Harper,and even our chief cheerleader,Christy, understand B.C. needs this project to remain a “have” Province.
Imho, they should start building the pipeline with no further delay,BUT the builder,Enbridge has to be held accountable for any problems.
Greens want absolute guarantees about everything we build,but in the real world there are no guarantees. In spite of all your best intentions and hard work,unforeseen circumstances will crop up,and the industry has to be prepared to deal with them.
With several thousand miles of pipelines already crossing North America,I see no reason to delay an economically and strategically important project because we can’t guarantee it 100%.
Mr.Harper, cut that review down to about two weeks,and let them get on with it.
At dmorris, how exactly will the pipeline benefit BC? There will be some jobs to be sure, but all of the profits go to Alberta, while BC takes on the bulk of the risk.
Here’s a proposal… how’s about the stakeholders in the pipeline promise to sign over every last dime they own to the province of BC should a catastrophic accident occur? I mean everything except for the clothes on their backs. Would they gamble that for a shot at the money they’ll make? Because that’s what they’re asking the people who live nearby to risk for basically nothing.
I’m a lefty. I don’t oppose oil production, and I support research into alternative fuels such as nuclear, but the oil sands are a dirty business. Better to leave them alone. I’m sure we’ll find a use for them at some later date, and we’ll probably figure out a way to extract them with less impact.
John,I’m not the only appliance around here,please share your time with the others also,OK. I like you and all,but really,I need a break,it’s not you it’s me.
Pretty cheesy showing clips of salmon dying in stream in a film about the harm to BC if Enbridge builds the Northern Gateway. Maybe my high school biology 101 was flawed but I always thought that salmon died naturally after spawning in said streams.
Also, not building the pipeline will not prevent those container ships prominently highlighted in those spills at sea from plying the oceans (or hot dogging cruise ship captains for that matter).
John >
If the Alberta pipeline doesn’t run through BC, how do you propose the Maoist communist Chinese are going to get the oil to run their sweatshops and build their fast growing military empire?
Please don’t suggest something akin to “the sneaky little yellow people don’t deserve our fair trade” as so many on the left seem to be saying lately.
I thought the communist Chinese were supposed to be the darling of the left, enough so that +60 million dead under Mao, and the occupation of Tibet as a minor footnote in history. The massive coal powered plant production without environmental regulation, a bazillion new cars a month on the streets, unregulated dragnet fisheries etcetera, all positive and proactive sources for their deservedly booming economy.
Now you want to cut off their oil from Alberta, because you don’t feel that you get enough profits?
Better yet, why not advocate that Alberta and the Prairie Provinces separate and just pay you transit rights with the equalization payments it would save from other provinces?
John- Maybe your fridge can explain to you, a witness loses credibility when it’s discovered he’s not right in the head. Every word he speaks is suspect.
No my friend. The left does not support sex offenders, even by proxy.
~John
With the exception of famous people like Roman Polanski, Woody Allen, Michael Jackson, Morgan Freeman, Pete Townshend, Rob Lowe, Bill Clinton…just off the top of my head.
This aspect of Bolenbaugh’s past has been brought up because it goes to his credibility as a witness, it demonstrates exactly how much he cares about children and their future.
After all, isn’t environmentalism really all about the children?
🙂

John – …….“They might support fair trials, and treatment”
Which is why we live with so many convicted but anonymous, early release child rapists in our communities today “fair trails, and treatment” the liberal way:
“Scene of 9-year-old girl’s killing a haven for sex offenders”
“The Allen County sheriff’s registry shows that 15 sex offenders live at Northway Woods, a small mobile home park with 54 lots, only about 25 of which are occupied. Among them are men with multiple felony convictions for sexual abuse of a minor and child molestation….”
http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/12/27/9747130-scene-of-9-year-old-girls-killing-a-haven-for-sex-offenders
Yet the left wants to take our guns and rights of self protection away!
John, excuse me if we take your “advice”, criticisms, finger pointing, and excuses and tell you to kindly piss off.
“Fort Chip” is located on the northern shore of Lake Athabasca. To the east lies the radioactive deposits on Lake Athabasca around Uranium City, SK. You would think some of the uranium also naturally leeched into the water.
Quite true, Lake Athabaska has never been a healthy region, that’s why very few people ever lived there till kabloonak came along. Before the Bennett dam was built the seasonal flow of the Peace river would flush out the western end for a while and people would only be there then.
So what you’re saying is that people who work for oil companies are disturbed. Gotcha.
There are good reasons to build the pipeline if it’s done responsibly.
The pipeline must be built in the existing rail-highway corridor to minimize environmental impact. No cutting across the wilderness.
The pipeline must be operated responsibly with spill mitigation policies and procedures in place.
As Canadians we should expect nothing less.
I love it that Greenpiss chose -this- knob to be their spokes-creature.
I’m rapidly coming to the conclusion that most of the professional Lefties in this country are closet perverts.
North of 60- Pipelines and highways tend to be incompatible. They have very different sets of construction criteria. Highways used a cut/fill system, and follow contours. Pipelines need to avoid following contours, to avoid breakage from landslides. Placing a high pressure pipeline near a highway increases the risk of accidental contact. Pipelines that run through the wilderness are less likely to leak, because they are less likely to have human contact. There’s no point trying to create a corridor, when the pipeline would need to divert every few miles.
SDA GETS RESULTS!
Greenpeace has greenwashed the video, no longer listed on their website, ha-ha!
DanBC >
awww, now the little kids can’t watch the nice Liberal left man with the shovel digging around the backwoods.
Greenpeace probably figured that he had experience in laying pipe and cleaning up subsequent spills so they decided he was an expert. They didn’t spend much time probing into the circumstances under which he was laying pipe.
Kate, looks like Greenpeace removed the page altogether — the link leads to nowhere on their web site: i.e. “page not found”.
The green “truthers” are at it again — “shovelling, burying and shutting-up” as it were.
North of 60 “the seasonal flow of the Peace river would flush out the western end for a while and people would only be there then.”
Did the Peace have much of a natural seasonal flow? The Athabasca sure doesn’t. It slows down a bit by the fall and winter. The melt takes many months starting in the flatlands in April with the big flow in June when the glaciers start melting.
WXMI is FOX in Grand Rapids, MI. They cover the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek viewing area where that oil spill from the ruptured line occured.
News tip is on their News page. Right hand side.
Good on Kate for shedding light on Greenpeace and promoting this “film.” it’s a particularly nasty piece of filth partially created by the registered sex offender. The filmmaker Corey Ogilvie should also have to answer for his lack of due diligence. You can email him at info@ogilviefilm.com or leave your thoughts on his Facebook page Facebook.com/ogilviefilm. Smalldeadanimals got results with Greenpeace, can we do the same with the film’s creator?
Did the Peace have much of a natural seasonal flow?
yes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_River_%28Canada%29
Note the map of it’s watershed.
Really.????..this guy opposes laying pipe?
“Come here Timmy, let me demonstrate how Big Oil rapes the environment.”
Why does everyone assume he’s the worst scum of the earth? What are the details of the case? Was there real evidence or an accusation and circumstantial evidence? If the ‘victim’ was 13-15 years old, did he even have sex with her or did they make out and then her mom found out and filed charges?
Men often end up on sex offender registries for surprisingly (if you haven’t been paying attention) little and false rape accusations are commonplace. Best not to judge until you have all the facts, fun as it may be.
Best not to judge until you have all the facts, fun as it may be.
It happen not once but twice.(oops I slipped and my dick accidently got stuck in underaged girls….twice)
Shut your piehole until you get the facts the rest of us have…twit.
@ Oz
If you have facts, show them with links and references. Otherwise you should take your own advice. I never said this guy is innocent, btw, just that there isn’t much here to go on. Convictions like this don’t always mean much.
Search Facebook for “OgilvieFilm”
this is the film maker that made the original video featuring the sex offender. Time to leave a comment 🙂
Is he a former priest?
