1. O’Leary is our mini-Trump (Trumpette?)
   Lou Skezas is our mini-Santelli (Santaletti?)
   What hilarious is that these guys refer to our dollar as “dollarettes”.

2. Anti-NDP rally in Edmonton a few days ago:

   Notice that she poses questions to some of the NDP supporters who were there. In typical leftist fashion, she got waffle for answers.
   The one whose sign said that The Rebel sucked said it told lies, but didn’t provide any details.
   Then there was the kid who demanded “free stuff”. “Who’s going to pay for it?” she asks. His bone-headed answer was, “Taxpayers?”
   Yeah, that’s right–taxpayers. That includes you, mate. You pay taxes in this country, so you’re putting money into the pot, along with everyone else. So, how can it be “free stuff” if *you* are helping foot the bill?
   The lack of logic on the left never ceases to astonish me….
   By the way, I never read any of Ayn Rand’s works.

3. Santelli is right and says it well. We need to hear his little rants more often.

4. Dollarettes? Aren’t those the “mini-me” version of what our currency once was?
   We’ll soon be hearing the term “Hudson’s Bay peso” once again.

5. When going Galt goes mainsteam, it’s going to be bloody and it’s getting to that point.

6. I have been warm and cozy all winter, thanks to the reliable service and natural gas from Enbridge. I cheerfully pay their bill when it comes in. I can’t say the same thing about Ontario’s electrical bills.

7. Many of the people of whom you speak often pay taxes only indirectly, largely through the GST/HST, and even then the tax may being paid by the parents who fund them directly or by welfare payments, bursary payments, or loan payments that they have no intention of ever paying back.

8. A new study by the Fraser Institute says the rising cost of electricity is increasing energy poverty in Canada, with more than one million households now spending more than 10% of their incomes solely on electricity and home heating fuel.
   The fiscally conservative think-tank says these 1,086,860 households in 2013 — the last year for which statistics are available — represent 7.9% of all households, an increase of 9.4% since 2010, when the number was 7.2%.

   Welcome to the Liberal and NDP world.

9. And the same people who demanded that we implement all the climate fraud policies that have resulted in doubling electricity prices and energy poverty will now insist that we subsidize their electricity.

10. Oh you old people, and rich people just don’t want to pay your “fair share” of taxes. Taxes that would provide my basic needs so I can do my art. My art ? If you have to know, I read and listen to Internet posts and music and make mash-ups of what I see. What ? Do I sell any of my art ? Dude, don’t you know that it wouldn’t be art if I PROFITED from it ? PROFIT is what causes all the misery in the world. No man, I just give it all away.
    See how easy that is …

11. Have you ever met one of these people who thought that they would not have more if the government took from someone else . I think it will become my mantra – nobody gets left behind will not work ,but no one gets ahead will !

12. Yes, we must address the unfairness in the tax system. The rich are paying 16 times more than their fair share.

13. I used to be friends with someone I met while I was a freshman undergraduate. When that year was over, we went our separate ways but kept in touch.
    Our paths crossed nearly a decade later, he had become a radical Marxist. I was out of work at the time and desperately looking for a job. His solution? Abolish all nuclear weapons. When that happens, it will be prosperity for everyone.
    The Cold War has long ended and many nukes have been dismantled. I’m still waiting for my share of the bounteous good fortune that’s supposed to be available now.

14. You haven’t “learned” a thing from your Marxist friend because you clearly FAILed to find employment in the growing (government subsidized) Solar and Wind business. THAT. is what your Marxist friend was predicting. THAT is what your Marxist friends voted for. You are evidently just too stuck in your EVIL capitalist ways to learn about our brave NEW world …

15. Yes we need something like wall st…but we don’t need it infested with serial felons at the top. If we are starving we can eat our children, but it is a poor long-term survival strategy. We need competent, ethical people in charge…not toadies and bootlickers to super PACS

16. The neo SJWs ditched the poor long ago. They only want to talk about screwing the rich and saving the “middle class.” Obviously carbon taxes and skyrocketing electricity costs hurt the “most vulnerable” most. The Grits and Dippers could care less in their quest for total government, necessitated by the financial crises their anti-growth policies create. They’re safe in their gated communities from any backlash the cost of their privilege creates. They must be averting their gaze away from the Trump revolution against professional pop politicians who feather their own nests at everyone’s expense.

17. GOP party type: “Well, this isn’t the Soviet Union, we can’t just have a meeting and decide Trump is out.”
    Others: “And we hate that.” To raucous laughter. Says it all.
    “He’s not articulate, he’s not informed, all he’s got going for him is a lot of votes.”
    Quite amazing really. This bunch, not content with their impotent savior Romney turtling away victory in 2012, seem determined to lose the election even before the GOP nomination, with their political poison pill intrigues and free talking points for Hillary. I won’t help; Trump will lump her in with them.
    A bunch of losers protecting their privilege and no doubt, in their minds, wealth. No wait, the “world is at peace with Hillary Clinton.”
    The USA should emulate “the world?” Trying to be the bad guy turned nice has failed. The need to stop sipping their martinis, great real and accept they can’t buy Trump, so they won’t have a client candidate for POTUS. And for God’s sake, stop their whining! If Trump finishes these careers, good on him.

18. Don’t laugh. That actually is my background. I earned my last 2 degrees studying renewable energy systems.
    Do you think I could get a job in this country with that? Uh-uh. Nope.
    I was given short shrift by some well-known environmental groups when I approached them either for employment or, possibly, research funding. It seems that since I wasn’t following *their* respective ideologies, I didn’t deserve any of their attention.
    Fortunately, I made my own money by being a good capitalist. I invested it and I’m living comfortably from that. I work on my research into renewable energy systems on my own time, whenever I feel like it.

19. As for my former buddy (we lost touch with each other decades ago), he has a nice cushy job with a guaranteed paycheque.
    He became a clergyman.

20. Hey Ken. Always liked Santelli. An unapologetic man of the free market…with real passion….not the synthetic kind parading around in progressive circles. Not a wonder he pays homage to Ayn Rand.
