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."

Similar to “why is their always a flat screen TV”;
Why is it always a BMW?
Where do they get the money?
Exactly Gord. I can’t afford a BMW, but these kids can for some reason. I suspect that those funding them are never going to be revealed as they likely have political connections with the TOTUS.
As far as this being “sophisticated”, these guys were amateurs. Making bombs is very easy and professionals would have been nowhere near the site of the explosions having planted the bombs first and then detonated them with throwaway cell phones. A professional would never have a vehicle with a “Terrorista” front plate. Then again, most people who have the power to cause far more havoc with their knowledge have better things to do with their time – for the moment anyway. Once the statists in the USSA start violating the US constitution even more we’ll see the professionals at work and the casualty counts will be orders of magnitude greater than those of the amateurs and targeted at the statists who are shredding the US constitution, not the general population.
One of the neighbors of these 3 that were brought in for questioning, told a news service that they’d either stolen it or stopped paying the rent on that BMW.
It’s in the paragraph below the 3rd photo, neither of their flippant excuses would surprise me today.
Loki, regarding the political connection.. Glenn Beck has been reporting he’s got a terrific story to tell monday. We’ll see how close he can bring the Saudi guy being deported tuesday, to the B. Hussien.
Beck has said, he’s giving the B. Hussien until then, to tell the story first, and to put his spin on it…
… tick tock.
Here’s the video of Beck issuing his challenge, although it should probably be in Reader Tips…

Bewilderment about “Root causes” or “motivation” seems to be the mainstream media mantra, their response to the Boston Marathon terrorist attack.
Since 9/11, there have been over 20,735 Islamist terror attacks (religionofpeace.com), and the MSM still can’t follow the blood trail?
Mind you this is the same media that covered the Danish cartoons of Mohammed riots without having the courage to show the cartoons in their publications or television coverage.
They know. Everyone knows. The MSM are simply too afraid to say.
They are terrorized.
Courage pussycats in the MSM. The blogosphere will fight while you cower.
“The problem with Islamic fundamentalism is the fundamentals of Islam” -Sam Harris
“Why we are afraid” by Dr. Bill Warner on youtube puts 1400yrs of terrorism in perspective.
Loki
are they amateurs, or are they made to appear amateur, for a purpose, by their handlers, one wonders!!!
Root Causes, fairly obvious, Multiculturalism, immigration allowing Moslems into our Country, and failure to deport as many as possible while we still have time. Not closing down mosques that allow and promote fanatical murder cult indoctrination.
Nothing is going to change until walls start falling in Westmount, Rockliffe Park, The Bridle Path, Point Grey and their US equivalents.
If every new arrival from these war-loving shit-holes was given accomodation and schooling in these nose-in-the-air communities, and the nails and bullets started flying around those airspaces, you’d damned quickly see some cries for real homeland security.
The FBI is so ineffective that it’s plausible to ask if they’ve been infiltrated and harnessed to a cause other than law enforcement. Remember the stories of the FBI translators celebrating on 9/11 and the agent who testified that they knew the hijackers were planning something but were discouraged by their superiors from aggressively investigating? Now we find they were tipped off about the older Tsarnaev brother in the Boston case but determined he was harmless. Today they’re doing busy work trying to determine the root cause and how the brothers were recruited, something anyone with an iota of curiosity and Internet connection already knows. Maybe Bush knew what he was doing when he created the DHS.
Again, by focusing on the Islamic terrorist narrative misdirect we’re missing the greater crime.
The facts are piling up to question if this was another FBI sting operation of a small group of brain-dead loons, who they played as patsies, that got away on them. No, I have no sympathy for Jihadis or these punks in particular. The point is was this another FBI sting that went horribly wrong. What is the FBI involvement here? How did the suspects get tightly regulated Federal ordnance (like grenades)? The FBI had contacted these brothers in 2011, how long did that surveillance go on? What is the FBI’s real agenda in the endless string of infiltrating retard terror gangs, inflaming them, pointing them to targets and arming them, then busting them just in time? Has their habit of arresting them just in time (to a full media theatrical event) always been effective? Have they missed the sting and the loons effectively gotten to their target? (like in the 1st world trade center bombing which was “monitored” by the FBI). Is the FBI capable of effective undercover anti-terror operations?
Too many questions involving haphazard security and “war against terror” theatrics, to simply say; “see it was Islamists all along” and end the investigation. The Feds (FBI/DHS) have some explaining to do – as to why we spend billions on security and give up our freedoms for such haphazard game-playing. The second Fed agency on the mat should be immigration for allowing these kinds of America-haters in the country – don’t lock down Boston after the fact, lock down the borders before this disaster happens.
Well said,Occam. At this point in time,the Feds are just playing theatrics at “finding and protecting” loyal citizens of the USofA from terrorism.
Don’t buy the renta-a-car or stolen thoery. How do you get the number plate you want?
DHS seems to be nothing more than a sprawling bureaucracy intent only on maintaining itself. They certainly don’t provide security for the homeland. They should be scrapped.
What are the chances that the president, congress, the senate, Department of Justice, law enforcement, and immigration are either complicit in treason or inept, all at the same point in time? Boston has the potential to blow the lid off (no pun intended) the biggest story of government malfeasance in American history. Too bad most of the press is collaborating with them.
Judging by the photos, it was not a legal plate but rather a customized fake that you buy at a souvenir store like those “Elvis” Las Vegas plates. The photo is only of the front of the car.
Nailed it Robert. 10$ and hour gropers and steroid pumped over armed thugs are not doing a damn thing for public security – they have done more damage to American freedom that Jihadis ever could.
I still maintain this incident will be used to expand the security police state which DHS administers.

I’m left with one question after this weeks theater – How the hell did we win World War II?
If you have to ask, you must not have known the people of that generation very well.
Notice there was NO Muslim immigration in any numbers until the 80’s. There’s a reason for that.
FBI now hunting 12 strong sleeper cell of Moslem Murder Cultists in USA. How many sleeper cells in Canada? http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/boston-bombers-fbi-hunting-12-strong-1844844#.UXM54Yqm6hA.twitter
I wasn’t trying to disrespect the men and women that carried the day ( I was raised in a small town full of them). The actions of people in free societies, and certain political parties do that already. Seemingly in more numbers as time goes on. I’m only asking because I don’t see the qualities of our forefathers in those in power or in enough of those that vote for them, and after this weeks theater I think the West is about as weak as it’s ever been in it’s history. Looking backwards it’s hard to believe we won anything at all, when we seem so willing to lose today.
immigration allowing Moslems into our Country, and failure to deport as many as possible while we still have time
That’s like saying that the root cause of ingrown nails is the presence of nails so you should amputate your feet. That’s insane. It is not the government’s job to indulge your bedwetting fantasies.
The root cause of islamic terrorism in the US is the presence of Muslims. If there’s any question of their loyalty or motives when they come here, refuse them entry. If they preach or support jihad while they’re here, deport them. And talking about toenails and bed wetting in a post about terrorism is childish. You don’t want to appear childish do you?
Here LAS shine this one up and explain it away. If we would not allow Charlie Manson to immigrate to Canada along with his family, why would we allow the Moslem Murder Cult in here either. They have a proven track record of 24/7/365 murder, stonings, beheading, bombing all over the world day after day. Here is the list of murders for 2012 gathered from world news sources. Explain why we should not invite murders into our homes, our country. Immigration is not a legal right. That is the only solution, no immigration, deport as many as you legally can, and bulldoze any mosque that teaches jihad or even suggests jihad. http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/attacks-2012.htm
Pictured: Katherine Russell, wife of terrorist Tamerlan Tsarnaev returns home
riehlworldview.com/2013/04/pictured-katherine-russell-wife-of-terrorist-tamerlan-tsarnaev-returns-home.html
Charles Manson is a convicted killer you idiot. You can’t logically make all Muslims responsible for the crimes of a few, then again I wouldn’t expect you to comport with logic in any circumstance. Again, leave the rest of the world out of your collectivist fantasies.
Immigration is not a legal right.
Yes it is. The state only has the right to keep out actually dangerous people ie the infectious, criminals, and terrorists. “Keep the scary Muslims away because RFB is a yellow coward” is not among the legit options. Everyone else MUST be given entry.
That is the only solution, no immigration, deport as many as you legally can, and bulldoze any mosque that teaches jihad or even suggests jihad.
So your solution to anti-abortion violence be to deport pro-lifers and bulldoze any and all anti-abortion Churches. Oh right you’re a monomaniacal hypocrite.
LAS, immigration is a legal right?
No, part of being a sovereign nation state is having effectively controlled borders. e.i. U.S southern border problem does erode their sovereignty.
The Canadian Charter gives citizens the right to leave and enter Canada, there is no such right for the 6 plus billion other people in the world to do so.
Discerning who is a danger to public safety and Canada’s sovereignty and values is the responsibility of the federal government. They’ve been falling down on the job for decades. Reform of immigration is in the wind but we’ll see if there is the will to follow through.
There is a clash of civilizations going on here. Only those who have lost confidence in Western Civilization have lost the ability to see that.
The only legitimate control a sovereign country wields over its borders or anything else is for the sake of protecting its citizens rights. Otherwise no. To the extent that America has a ‘southern border problem’ (it really doesn’t) it’s because hyper-restrictive immigration policies force people to come over illegally, this flooding the border.
There is a clash of civilizations going on here.
Given the incredibly low body count, this has to be the feeblest clash ever.
I’m sure you’re selective in which countries can restrict immigration and which ones can’t. As for your ridiculous assertion that the US doesn’t have a Mexican border problem, I can only assume you’re a leftie who’s been brainwashed into believing the open-borders fallacy. Therefore I don’t mind telling you to eat a bag of dicks you loser.
Poor LAS.
Open-borders isn’t a ‘fallacy’ (learn your words before you use them) it’s an ideal. The only countries that should be selected against are actively hostile ones.
LAS I agree tearing down their Mosques is wrong. But if they teach Jihad they should definitely be closed down at once and never allowed to reopen. You are totally and absolutely wrong that a country can stop immigration and be very selective in immigration. There is no country in the world that can not stop any and all immigration when ever it chooses. Immigration is not a right in Canadian or International Law now or at any time. What I am suggesting is that this is far more humane and far lest costly than spending Billions in Canada’s case fighting them in foreign lands. So far I think Canada has spent 20Plus Billion and no positive effect. And whenever any of the so called radicalized Moslem youth get involved in Jihad here or in another country. Canada should deport his whole family. Strip the whole family of citizenship if they have immigrated here and deport them all. If they were born here declare them dangerous offenders and lock the Jihadi up for the rest of their lives. LAS as to the Manson Family, they were a Murder Cult, The moslem so called religion is a murder cult, that has been butchering folks all over the world everyday open your eyes and read the actual facts. These people are not ideal citizens and should never be allowed to immigrate into the west. No sharia in Canada, end Moslem Immigration. Wherever they finally attain enough numbers by immigration they destroy that country from within. Look at the EU and Britain, they are being over run. No Moslem Immigration is actually the most peaceful solution.
LASsie said, hilariously: “The state only has the right to keep out actually dangerous people ie the infectious, criminals, and terrorists.”
Welcome to Canada LASsie, where The State has both the “right” and the power to do literally anything that can pass Parliament. If a bill passes that deprives you of all your worldly possessions, and your citizenship, AND your Left kidney, then you will find yourself on a boat sailing away from Canada, wearing borrowed shoes, minus your left kidney.
You don’t have any rights. What you have are privileges. Revokable at the stroke of a pen. Learn it, love it, live it.
Ask the Japanese about the power and behavior of the Canadian State LASsie. They’ve got a story to tell you.
My hope is that sanity prevails in Ottawa, and the Canadian government stems the tide of Muslim immigration -before- the newspapers and TV start screaming for Muslim blood the way they screamed for Japanese blood in 1943. That could get extremely ugly. Forced marches, concentration camps in Northern Canada, all kinds of stuff.
Like I said LASsie, its not like it never happened here before. All it takes is an election and the right kind of public outrage. Just one more thing that makes Canada suck.
Note that Phantom’s entire ‘case’ boils down to ‘might makes right so you better accept my asinine preposition or else you’ll have to deal with even worse hypothetical prepositions’. How about GFY and the false dichotomy you rode in on?
anada should deport his whole family. Strip the whole family of citizenship if they have immigrated here and deport them all.
For the umpteenth time, no is not the Canadian government’s job to indulge your asinine hate fantasies. If you are tired of Canada fighting in foreign lands then write your MP and say so and get Canada out of Libya or whatever. BTW stopping terrorism by stopping immigration is fracking stupid for one reason: embassies. They’re over there.
LAS bow to Tamerlane you Dhimmi the sword of Islam has been butchering people for 1400 years, this is just the latest ongoing assualt. http://www.ottawasun.com/2013/04/19/bow-to-islam
A simple search will give anyone who wants to learn about Islam the facts. Murder Cult Mayhem 24/7/365 for 1400 years. Deport all you can, no moslem immigration. http://markhumphrys.com/islam.killings.html
“The FBI is so ineffective that it’s plausible to ask if they’ve been infiltrated and harnessed to a cause other than law enforcement. ”
Oh, the FBI has been infiltrated all right. By the same enemies that has infiltrated just about every other North American government agency: political correctness; vested self interest; arse-sniffing; and ladder-climbing.
I mean,there just isn’t place for duty, honesty, humanity and the virtues of freedom anymore.
Freekin dumbass troll justa beggin to get beat up and molested?
You are your own root cause.
LASsie said: “Note that Phantom’s entire ‘case’ boils down to ‘might makes right…”
You know, I think one of the biggest problems we have with young people today is reading comprehension. My entire “case”, if one can call the mere pointing out of plain fact a case, is that you LASsie are 100% incorrectamundo in your statement that government does not have the right to restrict immigration.
The simple fact is that they do have that right. And they have the power to back it up as well. Furthermore in Canada we as individuals under the Charter do not have any rights at all. This is thanks to that unpublicized poison pill called the “notwithstanding” clause. (Which if memory serves was demanded by Le Quebecois Liberals. Your guys.)
Then LASsie said: “How about GFY and the false dichotomy you rode in on?”
So sorry if these facts don’t fit your fantasy LASsie, but that’s what happens when reality bumps up against cloud cuckoo land. Clouds are not the place to build castles. All governments are huge, dangerous, destructive machines that regularly chew people up and spit out wreckage and corpses, that’s just how it is. Gawd knows history is replete with examples from just the last 20 years, never mind WWII.
That’s why I always say less government is better, because less chewing and spitting. But you, genius boy, keep giving me static. I conclude that is because you are a false-flag NDPee voting moron who can’t understand that wishes are not horses.
Good job B*tch slapping the LAS troll into submission again folks, yea thanks for leaving some for the rest of us late comers, not.
Phantom is correct; all unicameral parliamentary systems are legislative dictatorships, as virtually all power is vested in it, as opposed to one where another power center(s) exist outside the parliament.
A written constitution recognizing that all power rests with citizens, who possess inviolable rights, is useful to remind each generation of the proper relationship of the state to the citizen.
