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."

What They Say About SDA
"Smalldeadanimals doesn't speak for the people of Saskatchewan" - Former Sask Premier Lorne Calvert
"I got so much traffic after your post my web host asked me to buy a larger traffic allowance." - Dr.Ross McKitrick
Holy hell, woman. When you send someone traffic, you send someone TRAFFIC.My hosting provider thought I was being DDoSed. - Sean McCormick
"The New York Times link to me yesterday [...] generated one-fifth of the traffic I normally get from a link from Small Dead Animals." - Kathy Shaidle
"You may be a nasty right winger, but you're not nasty all the time!" - Warren Kinsella
"Go back to collecting your welfare livelihood." - Michael E. Zilkowsky
N’importe rien , it is a French train.
And coach, in order to be a delegate to a wildrose agm all you need is a membership and pay the attendance fee – about 150 bucks. So that is a hurdle even warren Kinsella could get over.

Yes friends, The Cottage, that traditional Toronto Establishment getaway in Muskoka where the cognoscenti commune with Nature. Boating and games of Scrabble around the fireplace, ah me.
Yes, and it’s perfectly fine to escape there any time you want, unless of course, the queers are marching through the streets of your city. Just ask Rob Ford.

“Just ask Rob Ford”.
I agree, he’s not allowed to say anything about mostly naked men in pink thongs gyrating and pumping their crotches in front of other people’s children, but he sure as hell has a right to get his children out of the city. All the power to him.

Most Conservative/ Libertarian attitudes (majority Albertan) believe that you have every right to be gay, Islamic, a drug addict whatever. You just do not have the right to forcefully stick it in our faces, especially our children’s faces or rob and harass us because of it.
We only want proper property rights and self defense laws to build BIG virtual fences to keep you out of our lives and protect our children from you. Any other culture in the world is allowed to do so, in fact encouraged to do so.
If you give us our protections, we would gladly ignore all of your eccentricities and bizarre fetishes. Unfortunately the extremists will not leave normal people alone and therefore we are forced to take all available actions against your freedoms in our society’s to restrict your access to us.
In a nutshell, if you allowed me to legally stick a gun between your eyes when you break into my home for drug money, I would gladly support your right to inject rat poison or whatever into your arm. If you stopped forcing gay agenda books on our kids in public schools, people would turn a blind eye to gay marriage. Stop building towering mosques and blaring prayers, and forcing the Islamification of our nations, we won’t push to ban your immigration here. Very simple.

Well said, but there again you are using logic and common sense. The left is missing the genes that pertain to critical thinking. Herd mentality is all they can comprehend.

There are no real conservatives left in Ontario.
The majority of the population is so paralyzed with political correctness that they are convinced that what they see in their province in just the way it has to be. Those that realized the truth also realized that the one sure way to invoke change was to do it themselves. So they left the province….like me.
It has been near 15 years since I left and every time I go back to visit Ontario, I marvel at what willing sheep the people are. Bleating and screaming behind closed doors, but grovelling and prostrating themselves when in public.
So glad Alberta continues to be the pointy end of the stick when in comes to issues of true freedom.

pray tell, how then you allbrightens wind up with Redfart if you are so conservative out there
there are still some of us conservatives here in onterio, we just don’t have a conservative party to vote for
NME666, “pray tell, how then you allbrightens wind up with Redfart if you are so conservative out there”. This just happened gradually and the people finally woke up when it became more blatant under Stelmach and Redfraud and began to personally touch them as the payoff to the teachers and the proposed new school act.
Not enough people in Ontario have woken up to what has happened to them incrementally over time and if they are not careful they will end up like Quebec.
Knight 99, well said @ 2:57.
Jan in Alberta,we just came back from a visit to Ontario and can confirm what you said. Toronto and the teachers union have a lot of clout that casts a big shadow over any coherent government renewal.
NME666…..read what Ken(Kulak) said. It is an instance of ‘boiling the frog’ so to speak. I smelled the outhouse when the door swung open and Stelmach emerged. Redford wasn’t even elected by general election but installed by the rancid party the PC’s had become. I figured that the next general election would prove what I already know.
That Albertans are true conservatives.
Watch Monday carefully. What you will see is REAL conservatives making a choice between saying what is populist or doing what actually makes a difference.
Quit being shamed into silence by the ‘holier than thou’ attitude of leftist apparatchiks. They rely on your submission to maintain power. Speak truth about what you SEE and challenge those that would tell you not to THINK.
REAL conservatives speak their mind. How other people ‘FEEL’ about that is a challenge for them to figure out.
Ken…..Thank you for your observations. Finding the paralyzed populace in the GTA is like fishing in a barrel. I visit family in the NE/NW of the province and it is shocking to hear how the entitled the miners, foresters and other ‘hard working’ folks have become. They see no reason to make things better for themselves because ‘those people’ in southern Ontario ‘owe’ them and the government has to do something.
I personally doubt the resolve of Ontarians to make any ‘risky’ choices. Then just can’t see past their own fear to see the potential rewards.
I’ve been pondering the last couple of weeks that it’s time the Sun gave Warren’s column space to folks like Kate…

Its true Kevin, Rob Ford is a dastardly human being for going to the cottage during Pride Week, or Pride Month, or however long it is these days. The nerve of that guy, not presenting himself to be mocked and have things thrown at him in the annual Prideful Parade Private Parts. There oughta be a law.
Jan in Alberta said: “There are no real conservatives left in Ontario.”
Well I’m here, so there’s at least one Jan. 🙂 Truth is that Ontario is -very- conservative once you get out of Toronto and Hamilton. We just don’t get covered in the media is all.
Hamilton these days is a low-rent dumping ground for people who can’t cope. For a very interesting map of what’s going on in Hamilton look at this thing from the Spectator (its TorStar, so a pinch of salt is recommended to counteract editorial bias):

Toronto is epitomised by our friend Warnout Kantsellya, also known by friends of SDA as the Lying Jackal. He’s a common type in the Toronto halls of power. As can be seen from his blog, he thinks its perfectly ok to destroy the reputations of people whose politics differ from his. No pretext for attack is too small, no tactic too petty to be used. Vindictiveness and scorched earth Monday to Friday, then off to the cottage to relax for the weekend.
If it was just one guy we could all point and laugh, but there’s a whole INDUSTRY of these @ssh0les out there. The Jackal is instructive as the public expression of a backroom wheeler-dealer from Hogtown.
However, much as it pains me to admit it you are 100% right that Out West is the pointy end of the Conservative spear. Mostly because that’s the only place in Canada where people are building something -new-. Here in Ontario we live among the sagging remnants of What Was, namely the industrial heart of Canada circa 1960. Kind of depressing really.
