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."

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

"Go back to collecting your welfare livelihood. - "Michael E. Zilkowsky
Wow.
Your taxes paid Kate?
I’d love to know who was behind this revision. No, really.
Also, I’d love to see the photo of said perpetrator campaigning with any of their local Lieberals.
The moron can’t even spell virulent correctly.
I believe that one “viralent strain of syphilis” (sic) causes spelling errors.
Is there any way an FOI request can be made to resolve the IP to a specific user? It would be really interesting to pin this on an individual, and then watch him struggle to deflect the blame when the Wikipedia records clearly indicate where the revisions came from. And there is a very definite misogynistic slant to the revisions; an action under the hate laws should be possible given the slanderous (and unproven) comments posted.
Sue the bastards!
I’d guess based on studies in my head that the IP leads to a whole swathe of GofC computers, and doing the log file forensics to narrow it down will only happen if there’s a court order.
Funny, I’d still rather hang out with Kate and her alleged “previousdly-unknown, viralent strain of syphilis” than the lefty a**hole who posted it.
Oh Man, you really pissed someone off Kate, 😉
,
On a side note, Thanks for the cool spell ya’ll sent my way.
Some committee of Parliament is charged with keeping things polite and that committee has a Conservative majority. Kate should talk to he MP, presuming it isn’t Goodale. I assume every time someone logs on to a computer, it is using an ID and password. I wouldn’t put it past Mulcair’s Commies. They think Parliamentary resources are their personal slush fund.
So, any bets on which SDA article provoked it?

Might be something that the Speaker of the HOC would want to
investigate. It is the type of cheap shot that a dysfunctional
individual commits before he/she resorts to criminal actions.
Hide your underwear!
“You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.” Winston Churchill
Why do the lefties always resort to ad hominem attacks? Is it because their arguments are morally and factually wrong?
That’s what I was thinking.
I believe one has an idea of how infantile the would-be defamer is.
Nice to see that the Pizza Tosser Extraorinaire has other hobbies.
Don’t be surprised if many of the computers belonging to the NDP caucus catch a “viralent strain of syphilis” (sic) and need their hard drives erased
I have some stalkers in the federal government and did FOI request, paid my $5 and gave the IP addresses. I wanted the names and titles of the individuals, and was informed it was impossible to trace because they are not identified with a person, rather that the IPs are for a range of individuals and it would take a bazillion hours, etc.
Childish and so “Grade 10 mean girl”. Obviously the summer BBQ season in Federal politics is not busy enough for some of our representatives.
Making the case for cutting the size of Canada’s worse than worthless public sector, in half, before lunch tomorrow.
Sue the bejeezus out of the House Of Commons and it’s members, Kate.
Given that the perpetrator is going after Dean Del Maestro as well, it’s probably a journalist using HoC WiFi.
Man, given the heavy workload of busy government employees, I just can’t figure out how one would find the time to (a) think of something so terribly witty, and (b)find an opportunity to post it.
Laura, I am quite certain you are being misled.
I work for Transport Canada and every computer has a time-out security feature. After x many minutes the screen-lock comes on and my individual password has to be re-entered, the passwords expire every 3 months etc. The only way someone could access my computer account is if they waited until I left my desk and slipped in quickly. I know a couple of people who work in the RCMP and Border Services and protocol there is to sign out every time they leave their desk.
Also, this does not pass the smell test from a cyber-security point of view. Does anyone believe that a method of anonymously sending sensitive documents, messages etc from the HoC would be allowed to exist? No politician likes whistleblowers and CSIS has warned about foreign cyber-spying for years.
Ruffling the feathers of turkeys in Ottawa.
Another feather in the SDA cap.
(We do love those hunting metaphors out here in the prairies.)
We need a store in Ottawa near the Parliament building selling
small dead animals posters, t-shirts and bunny hugs. 🙂
Laura, I work in an IT department for a division of the Ontario health care system. Every time someone logs on or logs off, the computer name and IP of the computer they log on/off of is captured in a log. This is standard practice for most if not all IT departments in the government. Submit your FOI request to ask for the logon/logoff logs for the particular month you’re interested in.
This underhanded smear style has been used by some of the NDP and/or union insiders I’ve had the displeasure to know.
“You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.” Winston Churchill
When ya start getting FLAK…it means you’re over the target….
On the other hand….The Shoshone measured their importance, not by scalps or ponies…but by the importance of their enemies….
Tracing it to an individual is likely to be difficult. The IP you see is almost certainly a public IP used in network address translation (NAT). Its a standard method of fire-walling, and reducing the number of public IPs required for an organization.
At any given time, many individual computers may be connected via that single IP address. It would be unusual to log NAT connections (but not impossible).
They *may* use a web proxy, in which case it *may* keep a log of which sites have been accessed. In that case looking for accesses to wikipedia around the time that the entry was changed may give some useful information.
Almost certainly, there will be enough information kept that if it were regarded as serious enough, the user could be traced, but it would likely be a monumental task.
Its worth complaining to whoever is registered as the network abuse manager … except that, I just looked, it is specified as nobody@example.com. In fact, all of the contacts for that network have the same email address. I think that alone warrants a strongly worded complaint.
Congrats Kate. You are making a difference girl. The progressives
obviously hate your guts which is a good thing and something to be
proud of. Keep up the good work.
Keep up the good work,Kate. They do not speak for me either.
Ratt,could you send some of that cool back here? 98 F right now.Waaaaayyyy to hot for this Canuck in Alberta.
You will not need an FOI request if an MP sends a “Minquire”. Find a Conservative MP with a major post to take on the case, I suggest the Parliamentary Whip, John Duncan.
Given the low intellect of the wiki-stink-bomb edit, can only point to one group. Think they call themselves “progressives” is it? Why are they always so low brow and nasty? Rather “regressive” to me.
If this person(s) is on tax payers dime in any way, I want to know and exactly whom it is.
Suppose to be professionals – not behaving like indecent teenyboppers.
A 192 IP is a private IP, which means that address should lead directly to the offending computer on their network.
This time of year, kids play make believe in the parliament buildings. Would not be surprised if it was a 14 year old Bi-spirited LGBT wannabe that posted the juvenile nonsense.
File the complaint, the fact it was done at all on the taxpayers system needs to be followed up on.
Oops…never mind. 192.168 is private. 197 isn’t. Guess it won’t that easy…
Nah 192.168 is a private netblock. 192.anything-else is just that. One time, in an industrial park, I was contracted to reprogram a router owned by a German conglomerate. Their network engineer(s?) had made this mistake with expensive consequences worldwide.
Thanks for the IT information-I’m sure I have been misled and I am pretty sure I know who the main culprit is, and wrote a letter to the PM and to Jason Kenney about it (along with general concerns about free speech and lawfare) and got no response. I believe this person is an untouchable federal employee with an aggressive, destructive, soul-crushing and bankrupting litigious streak. There are only so many battles one person can fight, so I prefer just to continue fighting on a different level and if I live rent-free in the heads of lefty f&ck heads, that’s good enough for me, for now.
’90’sareover’ is alive and vile…
I wonder which Conservative Party office this came from. They are the only ones there continuing the “War on Women”. The Liberal and NDP would be horrified by this if they found out.
Oh wait. Kate is conservative/libertarian. Not a real woman in their eyes so open season on her.
War on women? Like raising the age of sexual consent to 16?
Giving FN women right to their status through their mothers as well as their father’s heritage instead of being denied the right by their mothers only? The liberals kept it this way for how long when they often had a majority government for far longer than we’ve recently had a conservative gov majority.
Please cite where they’ve warred with women, specifically please.
If the person truly is from the House of Commons – you can rest assure that English is not their first language.
Read it again idd…pretty sure you missed the sarcasm.
Such a petty childish task for the HoC ’employee’…very revealing as to the level of intellect…the choice phrases, as well as the assumed ‘anonymity’.
Can’t wait for the twit to be ‘outed’
I work in the public sector as well. We have been informed that IS will know all our computer activity, every internet page, as well as internal activity. This HoC perp is dumb.
Nick said – “The moron can’t even spell virulent correctly.”
Probably spent time in university as a Journalism student before some juicy pension indexed public sector trough job came along.
How do you spell under worked ,intellectually vacant and no marketable skills?
c-i-v-i-l s-e-r-v-i-c-e
You must be doing something right! Lets out this miscreant.
It is Shiney ponies mama.I cant spell either!
Reports of Kate’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. Alleluia!
Resources of the government of Canada being used to slander Canadian citizens. Sounds like something that should be investigated to me…
They must be pole vaulting crabs; but who is going to take the word of a homeless crack head with crabs?
Further, does Kate always sign her underwear before she throws them away or were her unmentionables monogrammed?
Only her husband knows for sure, and I’m sure he won’t be revealing any family secrets.
Obviously, the second vandal doesn’t know that Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the spirochete BACTERIUM Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum. As a consequence Kate couldn’t have succumbed to this ‘virulent’ strain as it is clearly not a VIRUS. They didn’t pass biology class either!

Honestly, just about anything SDA throws out for comments and opinions is roundly trashed by leftoids who, when confronted with a legitimate topic of debate, revert to ad hominem attacks. Reasonable discussions and statements of facts are irrelevant in these cases.
I am assuming that said “editor” of wikpedia probably has written things on his bathroom stall about Ms McMillan.
You’re right, missed it.
If you Google the IP there is a history of asshole behavior.
Buddy did something juvenile on a Gov of Can computer – was walked out of the building 45 minutes later, fired for cause. He was no cyber-dummy either, except he was stupid enough to do what he did. Point is – guaranteed they could tell you exactly who it was if they wanted to.
Keep up the good work, Kate.
