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."

there is no one quite so stupid as a stupid old socialist.
Yes, what a sad & horrifying thought, to have exhausted most of your life and learned nothing. Quite sad.
So, Canada doesn’t have an equivalent of the US’s Hatch Act, which forbids civil servants from such partisan activities?
Mike_M – there’s a thread about this on therebel.media There is. He’s on leave for a month. And it’s just so sad that Harper is taking away his rights to ignore the “I will not engage in partisan political activity while an employee of the crown” pledge.
They won’t have much urge to sing when they start living in the world of socialism, they’ll be crying as they stand in the bread lines and freeze in the dark of this cold Northern climate. Tommy’s sneering smile will not warm their buns.
whoops. “…therebel.media. There is an agreement that government union members sign as a code of conduct that is intended to have the same effect as the Hatch Act.”
We’re doomed.
There still exists in Canada white haired Canadians WHO WOULD WILLINGLY PAY THEIR OW FARE TO TRAVEL TO THE FARTHEST
NORTHERN CANADIAN LANDPOINT AND PLANT OUR CANADIAN FLAG!
I AM, ready to leave tomorrow, ON MY OWN DIME !!
WHICH CANADIAN GOVERNMENT MINISTER WILL ACCOMPANY ME, HARPER, KENNEY, OLIVER, MACKAY, AGLUKKAQ?
I AM,
Joe Molnar,
Woodstock, Ontario, Canada.
No, but the urban commie narrative has it that only their enemies have angry old men who complain because “their side” are the keepers of the sacred utopia.
With people this age acting like eternal children (Eloi), you can see how deep the poison of decadent socialism has gone.
To the man I bet these entitled seniors have been under achievers (non value-added civil service drones) always envious of those who worked hard and took risks to gain wealth. Like conditioned grasshoppers partying while the ant toils.
Sometimes I pray for the inevitable economic disaster because like winter, the first to be culled by adverse conditions will be the unprepared reliant grasshoppers.
Baby Boomers. The most entitled generation in the history of the world. I’m one as well. The world will be better once we’re all gone.
This guy is Pete Seeger lite or a Pete Seeger wanna be. And for your listening pleasure, here is Pete’s anthem:
“WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON”

This has to be British Columbia. I well remember my time there (7 years). Yes the scenery is wonderful, yes Stanley Park is the world’s best city park. Then, slowly I became aware of the reality; idiots like these everywhere and the society they create, the drug addiction, the prostitution, the complete lack of any social unity, the motorcycle gangs and the serial killers (google “Pickton Farm”). What these ass clowns represent is a childish irresponsibility, perpetual victims who never get a grip on life’s realities.
Living under a socialists dictator yeah,sure were already living under a socialists dictator Barack Obama and his fellow descpots and tyrants
Meh. You can’t dance to it and I wouldn’t buy it Dick.
Fifty Fades of Grey…?
It’s called insubordination, it’s one thing to campaign for a political party it’s another to mock conservative values like he’s doing in that song. Disgusting little diddy, and if I did that to my boss I’d lose my job.
These are the same people who enabled the welfare state to impoverish us and then borrow our grandchildren into serfdom, all to support their socialist utopia .
Maybe it is time for them to work off their debt to society.
Democracy at work, 6 parasites voting on what the host shall eat.
Remember a parasite/civil servant does not pay income tax.
They are simply misinformed about their actual wage, as it all comes from the taxpayers pocket.
I now believe that govt dependent persons should not have any say in how the productive persons rewards shall be shared.Blatant conflict of interest.
As I have more that 50% of the return on my labour stolen by government(Canadian average is now 42%) and now have 1/5 to 1/3 of my working days wasted interacting with idiotic regulators..Why work it only encourages the thieves.
The economic disaster is already upon us, it is just a slow motion train wreck, which is why so many refuse to look.
Look at this election, what a choice.
CPC slow decline .
NDP rapid slide.
LPC “There’s an economy?” Whats left of the LPC is campaigning to the left of the NDP, so what is their plan?
“Remember a parasite/civil servant does not pay income tax.”
Perhaps misleading. You may have a point to make but that isn’t it.
A civil servant receives a T4 and files an income tax return like everyone else.
The idea of a fence to keep these folks in Canada is NOT reasonable? Good thing Cuba has beach bunkers
Exactly my point.
A govt employee is told they are getting $50/h.
After deductions they get $24/h.
Have taxes been paid?
Or has the govt lied as to rate of pay?
It is the same pocket.
The taxpayers pocket, to which neither the “employer” or employee in this case have contributed.
The T4 and obligatory tax filing are actually a bureaucratic sham.
And the country is full of these people. Had a neighbour over a couple of weeks ago and we had a discussion re. the TFSA that the Harper government had introduced. His point was that the TFSA only benefited the “RICH”, with that attitude he’d fit right in with this group. Oh! he did fit this group since he’s a retired federal civil servant, you might guess from CRA, honestly you cannot debate with that ingrained mentality.
Good One Glenn; D’ya notice these Faded Greys usually stink. I do not mean metaphorely, I mean stink-odorivious. The few who came along after my young years grew up slovenly and “finding them selves” in the liberal culture of doking and Art. They never seemed to have the enregy to bathe regularly. Sometimes when I turned away from the smell the answer was “we do not believe in using deodorant”.
Excuse me! There is a definite difference odour between fresh sweat, especially through labour, and an unwashed body.
The PM occupies an impressive amount of mental real estate in otherwise empty heads.
Thinking about CRA employees whose only job is to process pretend tax filings from other CRA employees who process pretend tax filings is somewhat painful.
Reminds me of the double dipping scam our military was pulling until recently. Create useless paperwork then hire back their retired buddies to “help” while they still collect their pension. Repeat as needed. One real reason for the “vets hate Harper” meme, his admin smacked a lot of fingers out of numerous cookie jars.
Something like 60 % of Air Force reserves were double dippers. They gutted and killed 418 City of Edmonton Squadron and enrolled reservists directly in regular force units. Real reservists are such an inconvenience and no-one can build a career on their backs.
While there is no argument that progressives dominate Canada, the boomers, as progressive and culturally-flaccid as they may be, did not invent the worn-out statist bromides that they worship. That honour goes to previous generations. The Thirties were the most socialist decade of the last Century. The “Greatest Generation” elected PET. When the “boomers” were reaching voting age, universities were thoroughly stacked with a socialist professoriate. Rand called it in 1957 when she wrote Atlas Shrugged and that was one of her last novels.
If the NDP get in, they should make a vinyl record of their song, of course it would be a very special record, with only one hole in the back!
A cringeworthy video like that almost makes me want to reconsider my views on euthanasia.
People need to remember Mulcair has to bow to Quebec for support. His position on a vote to separate …50+1 and boom, they’re gone is attractive to all the Blocheads who voted NDP. Perhaps he would then become Le Roi de Quebec, his connection to the Mother country, a French citizenship would serve him well.
Full disclosure I was born in 1949 so I share the boomer lable.
However I was not lucky enough to continue my education past high school. I went to work, in the mills, piledriving, shipbuilding and repair.
I am a Red Seal Boilermaker, semi retired, still work parrt time, need the money, frankly.
No golden 70% of my best 5 years for me.
Not complaining, it is the life I lived.
We raised our kids and thrived, were self reliant, shot my moose every year. We did our own meat cutting etc.
I recognize these well fed, smug faces, they had family connections, university degrees etc.
I could always tell who they were about 30 seconds after meeting them.
They couldn’t change a tire, fix the simplest thing on their car or house.
No matter how well paid, they were never happy, or had enough priveledge.
This fellow can now sing for his supper, and good luck to him.
From what I can see and hear he is going to need it.
It should be noted that this guy is only 1 month away of collecting his golden federal pension. He so brave, throws his weak..s punch and goes and hides behind his federal pension with his last month of work on paid leave. The guy is complete joke and now a hero for the stupid left.
Its also funny how the left directly blame Harper for his leave, like he has anything to do with it.
Harper is also guilty of not getting Fahmy out of jail in Egypt.
Guilty of native on native abuse.
Guilty of letting people use fossil fuels in their cars and heaven forbid, letting oil come out of the ground.
Oh and finally Harper is guilty of Mike Duffy not filling out his expensive properly.
They are privileged to the point of thinking they do not have to consider the needs of other Canadians. It is the urbanites, the old hippie crowd (e.g. Atwood), the unionists and many young people who are simply naive. Unfortunately, by the time you add these groups together, they make up a significant part of the population, so it is worry some.This particular joker is I think acting on behalf of the unions. This is a union ploy to discredit Harper. They will have the CUPE sponsored Ottawa Folk festival soon. I expect there will be a lot of mindless anti-Harper sentiment there. Very discouraging.
Gets him 15 minutes of, well, you fill in the blanks.
Me, I KNOW I’ve wasted more time already, than this retard is worth….
I am noticing a lot of anti-Harper articles in the international press. For example the Guardian had a story on this which of course made no mention of what the real issue is here. They had about 4 or 5 other anti-Harper hit pieces. Some will remember the very unbalanced diatribe in the New York Times last week. The coverage seems very odd to me, since we know these media sources seldom cover Canada, plus, some of these pieces are nothing more than propaganda — not theleast bit balanced. So, it looks like Harper may have offended the globalists who are determined to oust him. Canadians need to wake up before it is too late.
I’ll bet they all voted for Wynne too.
How’d that work out?
Not muzzled enough.
Speaking of mussling scientists. This jerk and his comrades are upset that the gov’t does not allow them to speak freely about their research. Boo Hoo.
That research is the property of the gov’t of Canada and is owned in trust for the people of Canada.It does not belong to the researchers.
It is intellectual property.
You can’t work in a Microsoft lab and then sell your work to others, just as you can’t work at GM and take a car home at the end of the year.
But these pampered fools are saying that they are entitled to the product.
They likely know that they are not, but want to steal from the taxpayer of Canada.
Fire the goof.
And so then you get this amateurish bunch of lefty twits that have never had a day of hardship in their lives singing the puerile ditty. God help Canada. The level of political savvy and analysis perhaps extinguished by one marijuana joint too many.
Increasingly I think there is a strain of madness in Canada. Perhaps it is a genetic disease of some kind. Or some kind brain infection brought on by too many drugs in their youth.
What else can explain the obsession – nay mania – about scandal Duffy and what an evil man Harper is. At the same time narry a mention on the billion dollars or more of our money in Ontario McGuinty (and Wynne) used to buy the election. Not to mention many of the otherwise real scandals across Canada.
You see it over and over. Event the heretofore conservative National Post spends more column inches and editorials on Duffy than they do on most topics. They even send Christie Blatchford to the trial. (Increasingly it looks like the NP journalists are angling for jobs as the Toronto Star.)
How is it Mulcair and Mick’s boy can get away with blatant lies, such as. Canada has lost 400,000 manufacturing jobs on Harpers watch. Anyone with two elbows and an a$$hole knows it is the McWynnty liberal government that have chased those jobs away.
Biting the hand that feeds you is never a good idea. Most employers would react the same way. The whole singing group look like a collection of artsy fartsy losers that belong to the entitlement club. They remind me of the type of people that would call a contractor to change a light bulb. In other words, the base for supporters of the CBC. Educated idiots.
Yeah,me too,Bubba, born in ’48, like you I worked for a living most of my life,though I spent 11 years in the civil service( after working about ten years in the private sector) which was interesting.
There were two distinct CS types I worked with, type 1: guys who had worked in private industry then took the CS exam and made a career there,though they never forgot where they’d come from and always treated the private sector with due respect, and type 2: career civil servants who had joined up after school or college and had never worked at anything else.
It was from the latter ranks that the real radicals came, socialists and outright communists, who never had a good word to say about the government that paid them their salaries. When dealing with the private sector these guys had an adversarial attitude that was quite unnecessary and counter productive.
I’d bet Ezra’s spot on with his speculation that many of the background singers are civil servants,active or retired.
btw,that so-called singer ain’t Paul Simon,or even Raffi.
“The whole singing group look like a collection of artsy fartsy losers”
My sentiments exactly. If any one of this group was asked how many times Harper has lowered the GST or personal income tax he or she wouldn’t be able to provide an answer. Hell, I’d be surprised if any of them is capable of preparing a personal tax return without their accountants and upon receiving their fat tax refund they probably blame Harper because it’s not bigger. They all, no doubt, strongly support the CBC but have no clue as to the amount of the annual subsidy or that a subsidy even exits. And by strongly support, I don’t mean monetarily. It’s not the socialist way to use one’s own money. Do any of them know what’s going on in Greece or Venezuela where socialism is embraced? Can any of them find Greece or Venezuela on a map?
I would be willing to bet that this sorry collection of bozos were college professors or civil servants prior to retirement.
The headline video has only part of the song. If anyone feels they are strong enough to watch the whole thing, here it is:

It’s worth it just to watch mental illness in all its splendor. Makes me wish for a Harper majority just to watch these losers crawl back into their sheltered comfort zones to lament the loss of their perceived socialist paradise.
“Makes me wish for a Harper majority just to watch these losers crawl back into their sheltered comfort zones to lament the loss of their perceived socialist paradise.”
First, being notorious sore losers, they would have to fling sour grapes in all directions. I can still fondly recall listening to Nettie Wiebe my NDP candidate and perennial loser being on the radio lecturing the voters in Saskatoon-Rosetown-Biggar about the horrific mistake they made electing a Conservative. Wiebe had plenty of practice since she lost three in a row to two different Conservative ladies, both of whom made excellent MP’s.
Apparently this guy is a regular at the ‘church of the easy answer’ – United. Hope he’s got his resume up-to-date.
Nice group of backup singers.
Coomb by ya baby
Hats off to Ezra. As for Turner, total trash!
A quibble.
Not “artsy fartsy”. This is hootenanny stuff ala A Mighty Wind. Nothing artsy about it.
The IPCC decided it needed to get rid of Harper and Abbott. They failed with Abbott. They have a better chance with Harper because Canadians are idiots.
So this is what my generation looks like now?
This is not groovy!
