  1. Ooo. We were talking about going to Marquis Downs tonight but ended up letting not having been before/not really knowing how kid-friendly it is stop us. Would you recommend taking a 3 year old?

  2. The noxious hypocrisy of progressia:
    When Jeantel says ‘cracker,’ it’s a cultural thing; but when Paula Deen says the ‘n’ word, it’s racism – or is exploiting the latent bigotry in all race groups just part of a larger Leftist snipe hunt. Is hyperbolized race strife the wild card in lefty’s arsenal of social destabilization tools?

  3. “Government Weather and Climate Science is a Proven Disaster.
    by Dr. Tim Ball on June 26, 2013”
    ““It occurred to me…” At what point does the thick skin required for leadership become completely insensitive?
    Barack Obama’s draconian plan to stop climate change is based on the certainty of forecasts of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) under the control of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). It is parroted by all national weather agencies as WMO members. This, despite the exposed corruption, manipulated science, and failed predictions (projections).
    A few weeks before Obama’s announcement, on March 18 in Exeter, England, another WMO member, the United Kingdom Meteorological Office (UKMO), held a meeting to discuss the unusual weather and try and understand the
    “disappointing UK weather over recent years.”
    In fact, the need for the meeting and the programme indicates how little they know about weather and climate. What is really disappointing for them is the complete failure of their forecasting. They need an excuse for failure, but in doing so expose their incompetence.
    Their total failure over decades could only happen in government or government sponsored industry.”

  4. Good Day Catherine, Kate McMillan.
    I raised our Canadian Flag this morning and placed it on our backyard deck, where it is now barely visible to the overgrown sixth fairway of Cedar Creek Golf course abutting our home here in Woodstock, Ontario.
    A few golfers passing may see it, faded as it is, I fly it in Honour of my long passed parents, whom owned the faded flag, but loved what it stood for and meant to them, in their adopted country, Canada!
    I will fly the faded flag until Tuesday and then take it down, fold it with respect, and God willing will fly it gain next year.
    Should I not be on this plane of existence next year, I know that one of my children will do the same with the old faded flag of their Grandfather!
    My parents loved Canada, despite the hard life it presented them and while they left Hungary in 1924/25 sadly, in the end, they never regretted their choice.
    I am the last living Molnar of that Peter & Elizabeth Family, ( all baptized into the “Christ Principle” of life) that Molnar Family name does survive in Canada, all better educated than the parents who bore them.
    And while the whining Canadian trait may occasionally arise, by and large the self sufficiency trait in this MOlnar family is still strongly evident.
    Why am I baring my soul to the world via “Small Dead Animals” blog readers on Canada’s Dominion Day Weekend?
    Because I have concluded that Kate McMillans’ SDA blog is truly a gift to Canada and is a”Miracle” in my time and wish to give Kate and SDA blog the same respect which I give my late Father’s (faded colour) Canadian flag!
    Call it “mush” call it what you will folks, I am Unabashedly proud to be “Canadian!
    Thank You Kate, for SDA, and my opportunity to post!
    I AM
    Joseph (Joe) Molnar

  5. Happy Dominion day Joe, nice to hear from real Canadians on this day our dominion became a self governing Crown colony. I can’t fly the flag of my parents and past generations of my Canadian family because it’s getting harder to find the ensign these days – just as it’s harder to find true Canadians who have an uncorrupted understanding of our history.
    Hope you get out to start the bass season and fry some Alberta beef this year. Stand on guard for her Joe.

  6. Happy Dominion day Joe. Fly your flag proudly.
    My family came to Canada in 1926 to escape tyranny and we showed our love by being good citizens, working hard and some of the descendants even serving in the armed forces and police.
    It is sad to see this freedom slipping away bit by bit, and sliding into a facsimile of the very tyranny we escaped.

  7. Russia is presently trying to hijack the 1025th anniversary (2013) of Christinaity in Ukraine by trying to take control of this celebration via starting the celebrations in Moscow, moving to Minsk and then to Ukraine — well “Russia” did not exist till the 1700’s (so-called “Peter the Great”) who renamed the state of Muscovy to Russia in an attempt to “add historical legitimacy” to the Moscovite state — in an attempt to have more legitimicay to western countries.
    It is the same as if the United States now declared England as “American history” and that the Brits are not relivant. That the Magna Carta was an american drafted document. Just because many Americans had heritage from Britain does not make the USA a successor state to Great Britain.
    Moscovy did not exist as a “state: till 1283 — (40+ years after the Mongols destroyed Kyiv — capital of Kyivan Rus). In 988, Moscow was a swamp/forested land with no settlement and there was no “Moscovites” or “Russians” only Kyivan Rus which was based in Kyiv Ukraine and run by Ukrainians.
    Hey if Putin can openly steal a Superbowl ring, Russians are capable of stealing history. For somebody who has a history being in the KGB (organ of oppression during the Soviet Union) how could he rise to be the richest man in Russia without coersion and corruption and using state apparutus to further his acquisition of wealth.
    Problem is that Russia has an inferiority complex and needs to “inherit” other nation’s history as it’s own.
    my 2 cents

    “J. V. Stalin
    A Letter to V. I. Lenin
    March 1921”
    “A Plan for the Electrification of Russia.”
    “In my opinion:”…
    “5) Pravda, Izvestia, and especially Ekonomicheskaya Zhizn 2 must be instructed to popularise the Plan for the Electrification both as a whole and as regards its concrete points dealing with individual parts, bearing in mind that there is only one “single economic plan” — the Plan for the Electrification, and that all other “plans” are just idle talk, empty and harmful.”

  9. There are many people in the west wing who consider Mao a hero — well Mao was the greatest war criminal in history
    Mao killed 20 million chinese in 1958 in the “great leap forward” — which Trudeau Sr smoked over in a trip there at that time.
    The Ethiopian Marxist Regime in Ethiopia killed 10 million ethiopains ina false famine in the early 80’s as a way to maintain power.
    Stalin killed 10 million Ukrainians in 1032/33 when they resisted collectivization
    Hitler killed 6 million jews in ww2 as a method of “ethnic cleanising” & racial hatred.
    so why are they considering Maoi above people like Mother theresa as their heroes?
    Marxist-Leninists. They are ideologues who refuse to recognize their heroes are the worst war criminals of history — may explain a lack of fortitude why this same administration lacks “balls” with regards to technology theft from China and the expansionist tendecies of Russia to recreate the empire.

  10. well demand in 2004 when the system collapsed was 24+ GW — well shows how much manufacturing has collapsed.

    “A Window into the Regina Tornado of 1912”
    “On June 30 1912, Regina was the victim of the most destructive tornado in Canadian history, leaving 28 people dead and 2,500 homeless. The aftermath, which shaped the city’s physical environment and burdened the community financially and psychologically, forever changed the city. The tornado’s legacy is still being felt today, but when the Regina Plains Museum began planning a new exhibition on the subject, it faced a dilemma: what could a new retrospective offer on a story that had been told so many times? A search through the museum’s collection provided the inspiration and the answer in the form of a large stained glass window dating from 1912 salvaged from the Knox Presbyterian Church. The window, which escaped extensive damage from the tornado, provides a glimpse into the cascade of events and their repercussions that began on that terrible day. This exhibition, which offers a look through a window into the Regina tornado of 1912, explores how the forces of nature shaped the spirit of a city.”

  12. Thanks Joe, your pumpkin seeds have sprouted. I doubt they’ll amount to much in our shortened growing season, but we’re giving them a fair shot at it!

  14. Thanks for the Giant Pumpkin Seed Update, Kate!
    Here in Woodstock, one related seed (to yours) is growing in an apartment balcony flower pot, another is growing on a highway roadside in New Sarum Ontario, and I am waiting for word from the Coacktail waitress at the Casino in Niagara Falls.
    I wish your Delisle Giant Pumpkin well.
    I suspect it has the best chance in Canada to reproduce, simply because I trust YOU to be the best prospective Giant Pumpkin Seed monitor, despite the short Saskatchewan growing season!
    Thanks again Kate, I can now celebrate Canada Day, with 2 Wobly Pop as a toast!
