  1. Lance, if you want to better argue your case, search for the Julian di Battista post on my site. He’s a Tory running for Toronto Centre. When he was in college he wrote blog posts saying that “Ontarians are Idiots”. I posted those, he apologized in press few weeks ago. On one hand HE made case that his comments don’t count because he was a kid. On other hand I didn’t hear anyone saying it was unfair to bring it up because he was a kid. So heaping bowl fulls of hypocrisy for everyone.

  2. Well it is definitely a too long, didn’t read but i did see the supposedly sexist bit. What he said was anthropologically correct. It is a pity that people are so easily offended by some uncomfortable facts. I read a bit on the first nations and so far it was not racist, just pro assimilation. Anyone who believes the indians have been well served by not assimilating into Canadian culture ought to spend a bit more time on a reserve.
    So yeah, better get this guy fired, then complain when the conservative party is made up of a bunch of politically correct , slow lane progressives. Maybe we ought to report the guy for hate speech, huh?

  3. “Ontarians are Idiots” But a lot of people think that. It is a common way of expressing dissatisfaction with political choices. Apologizing for a general statement like that is silly. It is not like he was targeting blacks or some other minority with the comment. Ontarians are a broad swath of society — known to make some foolish political choices on occasion. Hopefully they will smarten up in the upcoming election and recognize the damage that the Libs have done in Ontario.

  4. So we can have all the useless media types fired for their constant refrain that Canadian voters who vote conservative are crazy stupid?

  5. Face it, all of the parties need to do a better job of vetting their candidates. On the other hand, trolling social media for decontextualized comments contributes very little to genuine political discourse. However, since it’s a weapon that is used against Conservatives, it must become a weapon used by them. The only potential solution is some agreement to prevent Mutually Assured Destruction.

  6. rjjago……….ontarians are idiots. the last years under the liberals have more than proven that

  7. Born and raised in Ontario…
    Considering the crooks and thieves we have re-elected with majorities.
    I think a pretty good case can be made for Ontarians collectively being idiots.
    Sad but true

  8. Interesting, sort off. The riffle she is holding appears to be a version of SIG 550 series similar to those RCMP tried to outlaw (and failed) recently. Hmmmm, if this is a restricted firearm then by law it needs to be registered and properly stored. I am sure RCMP is all over it… suuuure. OF course it could be a replica or an airsoft toy.

  9. Lance, I cannot find anything in his comments that can be considered as a “bozo eruption”. Could you please quote the alleged “bozo eruptions”? How is this guy “sexist” for saying anthropologically accurate facts about men and women?
    That horribly formatted and terribly long blog post written by an obviously deranged social justice nutjob, was about Gilles Guibord CPC candidate for Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie. Is that who you mean? I am pretty sure that when this guy was 17 there was no internet.
    This is what the guy said:
    “I don’t think relations between men and women were determined by religion, but rather by a balance of power well before religion. With men being stronger than women, the woman put herself under his protection. Women were often in a state of fragility or insecurity due to pregnancies, so men took charge of their security,”
    Oh my!!! How terribly sexist!
    Why you are linking to insane SJW crackpots on a crusade to enforce political correctness on political discourse?

  10. All the Muslims I’ve known visit the home country at least once or twice a year.
    The picture may have been taken in a foreign country.

  11. In my opinion someone who put together such a long blog attacking someone must have some mental health issues. Nobody interests me that much.

  12. The federal Tories won 73 of 106 seats in Ontario – the provincial Liberals won 58 of 107. It’s the same “idiots” voting in the 2 elections, so I don’t see how you get to have it both ways.

  13. Daniel, he quit/was told not welcome/papers were rejected, period, end of story. That he and/or other people in the party found fault is enough for me.
    Do you not understand how the press in Canada works? They were really busy excoriating some hapless guy who told off the press. Now they’ve got some red-meat retribution for the Alberta Liberal candidate.
    And in Quebec, no less, the dippy progressive capital of Canada.
    Ask Daniel Smith what ignoring bozo-eruptions does to you in the middle of an election campaign and that was in the so-called social conservative capital of Canada.

  14. Ezra has the goods on the real bozos:

    TheRebel.media doesn’t have the same resources to look through years of public statements by 300+ NDP candidates, though.
    But we have something better: Citizen journalists who’ve made it their mission to do just that.
    They’ve uncovered more than 40 NDP candidates who have said the nuttiest things — anti-oil, anti-gas, anti-pipeline, anti-fossil fuels, anti-industry.

    France must need stricter gun controls, the ones they have are apparently not working.
    For a snotty socialist utopia, they sure do seem to have a lot of mass murder. Must be caused by the tobacco spitting American rednecks flying over with all that Capitalism.

  16. I pretty sure she’s waving around a (previously) prohibited Swiss Arms rifle. The rifle that the Liberals RCMP shills decided was too dangerous for Canadians to own. After they bought them.

    Yet they also have no issues with cities such as Calgary being a sanctuary city for ISIS, whilst they illegally break-in and steal firearms from the taxpaying Canadians of High River.

  18. I think Kate should keep a tighter leash on her pets, this post makes me think of liberals stupids, they all ways tend to spin thing with their mindlessness. One has to wonder if Lance moonlights at Huff-Post

  19. As usual, reality has a tendency to hurt feelings.
    And Lance, my world view has changed considerably since I was 17. Yours hasn’t? – pity.

  20. “One has to wonder if Lance moonlights at Huff-Post”
    No. He free-lances there and gets paid BIG OIL bucks for it. You should try it. They would probably hire you full time.
