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."

Can he next be deployed to an American university?
There are major infestations of SJWs and Trigglypuffs.
Unlike the facilitators (or enablers) masquerading as “security” at DePaul U, The detail here did their jobs!
That man is amazing!…no hesitation…no politcally correct ‘verbal engagement’, no stepping aside…wow…just wow!
ArceeEmpee…take note!

Way to go! While the younger folk stood around wondering what if anything to do, Mr. Vickers had the problem in hand!!
What a guy! Canada’s own ‘Jack Reacher’.
The contrast in character between Kevin Vickers and MiniT is monumental.
The man is a machine!
Why did everyone else stand around?
Mr. Vickers is in the right place. Ambassador is the right position. He needs to be an ambassador to Russia, France, Saudi Arabia, China, USA and just about anywhere where there is a Canadian ambassador.
There is a serious shortage of courageous people as Mr. Vickers.
The guy can single handedly teach the other smooth talkers how to deal with the bottom dwellers.
Limbaugh had something to say about Mr. Vickers.
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/search/?query=vickers
It remains to be seen if he stays to be an ambassador, having an empty headed nobody and the cabal that is running him, in charge, using the term “charge” very, very loosely.
Nonetheless, Mr. Vickers is doing Canada proud.
How long until Justine issues an apology, and recalls Mr. Vickers, and replaces him with a muslima?
While erasing all evidence of Harper’s term as PM, it’s now likely that he will be be recalled by the Spawn.
A proud Canadian moment,can’t wait for the Progressive’s spin.
Vickers for Governor General!
Interesting take-down and he wasn’t disrespectful. Looks like the cops almost pooped themselves when they realized they were being summoned to the stage.
Wow, Mr Vickers is in very good physical shape to be able to do the twirls with that jerk! He’s going to make a name for himself around the globe…he gets the job done while security try to figure out what’s going on.
Notice that no ACTUAL uniformed cops leap into action until AFTER the guest – Canada’s Ambassador, Kevin Vickers – has removed the threat and subdued him. Do all British & EU cops have to be pussified wankers these days, or does it just look that way?
“Nice work by the ceremonial guard.”
WTF are they there for?
The difference between a real MAN & a Sock puppet….The generation of Sesame Street youngen’s are comatose.
BTW: Valerie Jarrett’s mother had a connection to Sesame Street which helped create two generations of brain damaged children….Wonder Why?
Too bad he wasn’t an mp the day Justin attacked…
“Speaking at the event Minister Flanagan said the commemoration was “symbolic of the reconciliation” between Ireland and Britain.”
there are those who NEVER EVER want anything remotely akin to reconciliation. trouble trouble trouble bellyache complain complain complain.
Ambassador Vickers . . . . . yeeeeeHAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!!!
“Can he next be deployed to an American university?”
Possibly, but we’d have to arm him again. The proggies, who already don’t like this guy (because unlike them, he has a set), will say it wasn’t his place to grab the guy. From what I saw he was the right man in the right place, since everybody else stood around.
Judging by the look on his face, it’s a good thing for the coward he wasn’t packing heat.
Just kidding; but he did look incensed with the “protester.” I don’t blame him. The arrested one must be quite embarrassed, tossed around like a rag doll by a nearly 60 year old man. Being of the same year of birth, I can tell you it must have been tempting to surreptitiously drop him, though they did go off camera and then he was apparently “tackled,” so you never know.
Let the left howl; it’s what they do. I’m laughing at them, not with them. Good on you ambassador Vickers!
Trudeau will have to apologize for that,definitely: a Canadian ambassador taking out a protester in Ireland?
Maybe Vickers could teach a course on Manhood 101: how to diffuse an incident quickly.
Personally I wish I could overhear the ragging the protester will get in the bars: Tell us, Seamus, how embarrassing was it to be taken down by a 59-yr-old ambassador?
Three cheers for Ambassador Vickers! There are still a few around with some brass ones.
I agree with those above who suggest that Empty Suit will be recalling the good ambassador at the first quiet opportunity. Can’t have a real man representing Canada.
“Mr. Vickers, since you have diplomatic immunity, there’s nothing we can do to you, no matter how much of a shyt-kicking you give this weasely little coward. The other officers and I will turn our backs and discuss it a little further, in our very loudest voices.”
Guess the little commie agit-prop twit should have read up on Mr.Vickers before showing up.
Yeah,Kevin Vickers is one of the old timers that still retains a sense of what’s right or wrong.
Good for you Mr.Vickers, you have done Canada proud!
“We Missed You In Parliament Last Week, Mr. Vickers”—Priceless. Just imagine.
Have to disagree in general, it is not the responsibility of our ambassador to provide security at an event in a foreign country, nor is it politically wise to leap in and interfere in what might turn out to be a popular outburst of opinion or at least a legally sanctioned exercise of free speech rights in that country.
Just because we have no such rights here (shout down all dissent, shudder, there is no consensus) does not mean that a more civilized country like Ireland might not have them.
Man O Man. I replayed that about a dozen times! Did my heart good to see that some spines are still made of steel–a true Red Ensign Canadian to these American eyes! And Davers6 and Rob Huck raise the right questions! WTF?? DIY Security? But then he appears to be the Texas Ranger type, you know the old story: “One riot, one Ranger.”
What the bald protestor did was obscene.
Vickers was performing a legally sanctioned exercise of free speech too, since he has diplomatic immunity it was tré legal.
PS: And note the look of fierce determination on Vickers’ face! OBVIOUSLY he will have to be recalled for his sheer macro-aggressive affrontery to the “personal space” of our protestor!
What if the protester had a concealed weapon? Our ambassador was taking no changes.
It’s too damned bad that there aren’t more like Vickers that would do this to these f***ing professional activists!
We “tolerate” the disgusting actions of these ingrates at far too many events,it’s about time someone stood up to one of them.
If Trudeau recalls Vickers,I’ll never vote for him again! (empty threat as I never voted for him in the first place,BUT maybe I speak for 1.6 million Muslims).
Our beloved PM should call and congratulate our Ambassador for showing courage again, in contrast to the nutlessness we have to experience from most of our politicians.
Yes, a concealed weapon, including a concealed IED … can’t call a committee meeting to decide in some circumstances. And a delight to see someone with diplomatic immunity do something besides ignore parking tickets and engage in sexual assault.
MY understanding is that Mr. Vickers put a round into the brain of the Arab that stormed the House of Commons. Not publicized but he came around one side of the column as the shooter was looking down the hall and let a shot go. Down and out!
He was also the guy who escorted Brigette DePapsmear from the house when she disrupted procedure by carrying a sign saying “Stop Harper!”. What is it about democracy that the left does not get?
a real Canadian, not one of the collectivist snow flakes
Clicked on a Facebook link to cbc, where I never usually go, and read the comments.
What Mr. Vickers did, as an ambassador, is not acceptable to most Canadians it seems.
And, the fact that he was appointed by Harper was brought up, of course.
Oh, dear, Mr. Vickers. What have you done!
From the cbc site:
Under a broad heading of “Canada’s reputation: Personal behaviour,” it notes in part: “Regardless of any legal immunity conferred upon representatives abroad, their conduct and actions will be subject to a greater degree of scrutiny and public interest than they would be at home.
“The potential for public scrutiny requires that representatives use good judgment and common sense.”
Vickers was representing Canada at the ceremony as a guest of the Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade Charles Flanagan.
Vickers first should have said “Get the f*ck out of my way!”, and THEN grabbed the guy. Other than that, good technique.
Now if Prime Minister Harper had appointed Kevin Vickers as RCMP Commissioner.
Canada would be a lot safer.
Gangsters and jihadis would be heading for the border, running for their lives.
Yes, the RCMP need a thorough cleaning out, and have for years, and I expect Mr. Vickers would have done an excellent job. He needs a job with some action and clout.
Maybe Trump will hire him.
Anyone who mentions Vickers being appointed by Harper needs to be reminded of that stellar Galliano appointment. The other point to be made is if Vickers was out if line, he can certainly apologize, exactly as the PM did last week after tarnishing Canada’s reputation.(That one also made international news).
Mr. Vicers’actions were attacked by Cris Hall of the left-wing CBC:
http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/politics/kevin-vickers-protester-dublin-1.3601889
The CBC likes our diplomats sunny and nicey-nicey.
One can’t help but wonder whether those posters who support the actions of Vickers would have the same support if the Ottawa based ambassador from China or Russia went after a Canadian protester.
Anyway, making the transition from security guard to ambassador is apparently tough.
I guess we’ll never know, Gord, as conservatives don’t make a habit of disrupting religious services even for those we dislike.
So, Kevin Vickers vs. Chuck Norris…
Taking bets now.
Why did nobody tell him no? Good question!
Because he’s the damn Ambassador, that’s why. He’s a normal, responsible Canadian who’s worked himself into a position where they can’t jail him for doing stuff like this.
The difference between him and the rest of us is that he can get away with it.
Wish he was around in Ottawa the other day, he could have dragged the Shiny Pony out. Swift kick in the arse would have been an appropriate adder.
Nothing like training to set the man in motion.
Sense danger where there shouldn’t be any. React. Neutralize the situation.
Job complete.
