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."

Dementia is charming isn’t it?
What is it with Democrats?? They weaponize the agencies and departments of government against their own citizens, they limit the constitution and constantly erode the amendments and now the openly oppose and reverse the first principle of the rule of law, innocent until proven guilty. America is not a land of liberty and it has no home for the brave, not with Democrats.
I do not own a gun. But it’s folks telling me that I cannot have one, that makes me want to get one.
Fartstein, must be one O those Amish!
Those people are why you will need one.
Interestingly she doesn’t mention that the Firearms he bought were legal, he was working for a firm which fast tracked his license using fake documentation and is contracted to the DHS..
Furthermore the company in question is owned by the Pakistani government and has security contracts with most of the Nuclear Power stations in the US..
The 2nd Amendment is in place to protect Americans from this monster.
“Prove your innocence”!!! They have basically tossed the constitution and should be hung for treason.
We all know what the problem is: 30 or 40 years of unchecked immigration from countries with no history of democracy or the rule of law and no yearning for either – and it happened under Republicans, Democrats, Liberals, and Conservatives.
So now here are our politicians, from all parties, predictably gushing on about find cures for what are actually symptoms (real and imagined) of that problem – because identification of the real problem would expose them all as the useless, cowering, power-hungry tits that they were and are.
“THIS is what Accounting does to people.”
Thanks to Monty Python…..
8 million owners of AR-15s didn’t kill anybody yesterday. Or the day before, or the day before that.
Progressive political policy is the root cause of Islamic Terrorism in the western world.
That fact must remain buried, otherwise their (Gov and media) culpability becomes clear, and that cannot be allowed to happen.
So, rather than admit PC MC is killing the culture, they spin to pin the blame on innocent people and inanimate objects.
Progressives are vile. How they get away with it baffles me.
Darn mindless demacrat as rediculous as they come violate the U.S. Constitution like most all demacrats do by pushing for gun control and gun confiscations cant stand listening to her mindless clucking anymore
Chris, that is socialists for you.
So, we learn from Feinstein that Democrats do not really believe in the centuries old liberal democratic concept of innocent until proven guilty.
Ask yourself why is it that the left always wants to have the public disarmed? Based on the experiences around the world during the last century I think we know why.
Nor did an AR15 kill the 49 people in Orlando .
Yes Dianne Feinstein has dementia…After all she was part of the San-Francisco killing of her
Democrat city Administration (Mayor) by the Police chief (who had resigned) She was slow to warn them of the bad attitude consequences of telling an armed Police chief to piss-off….
She is a genuine shit magnet that pops up after the deed is dome….
Teddy Kennedy, the lying lion of the US Senate was on the no fly list, and could not get removed. If the most powerful US Senator could not get his name cleared, how likely is Joe Palooka from Whistle Stop Idaho to get his name cleared? I am sure the Keystone Kops of the DHS will get right on that! They might even clear it up before the young man dies from old age.
I do not want an unelected, unaccountable, faceless bureaucracy deciding what Civil Rights I am entitled to today. Neither does the US Constitution.
“The 2nd Amendment is in place to protect Americans from this monster.”
Nope. The 2nd Amendment is to assure a) the ability of the people to rise up and depose tyrants from government and b) to assure the rights of free speech and a free press.
The right of self-defence is (or should be) taken for granted, although in many states it is not (like CA, my state).
To expound further, the Founding Fathers didn’t specifically address self-defense in the Constitution because it didn’t even cross their minds, it was so self-evident.
Just imagine Thomas Jefferson or Franklin looking at this shitstain Feinstein today. They would have her tarred, feathered and run back to San Fran on a rail and have that POS Reid hanged (along with about 300+ other members of congress) outside Liberty Hall in Philly.
And our Chocolate Jesus in the White Hut? Back on his way to Kenya or Indonesia in a heartbeat after a long stint in Levenworth.
The 2nd Amendment was written before modern firearms were invented, and must be tossed aside in the modern era (or so goes the argument). The 1st Amendment was written before the age of cheap, accessible and ubiquitous communication (via the computer, cheap printing, and the internet), and will be attacked on the exact same basis. They’re taking on the 2nd Amendment, knowing there are enough uninformed people who might just go along with it; taking on the 1st Amendment in such a bold move might just wake up too many.
This isn’t to say that the 1st Amendment isn’t under attack, for it is, but it can’t be fully removed until the 2nd is out of the way.
to Slap Shot: I lived in San Francisco when Mayor Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk were shot and killed by former Supervisor Dan White. The Board of Supervisors in SF is the equivalent of a City Council. Dan White was NOT a former police chief; his position was the equivalent of a City Councilman.
There was a time when ME was an important source of oil for North America. Because of that Saudi Arabia was tolerated, indeed seen by some as an ally. Now we don’t need their oil. The Bush’s were co-opted somewhat by SA interests. That doesn’t excuse the present Dem and media cohabitation of financial interests with SA, with the ridiculous scenario of continued crude imports from that country.
This sideshow has no legs and the Dems know it. So, Hillary is giving an economic tour de force. How hard is it to say her government will “invest” in the economy they “manage,” therefore “creating” jobs and gun free prosperity? She’s breaking the glass ceiling – right to the top floor where the loot is.
The other side of the equation is non-sequitur, given racists are posing the question; or is that as hominem?
It is surely begging the question, the oldest saw being we don’t like guns, therefore they’re bad, so you don’t need them because we don’t like them.
You know – you didn’t build that …; we’re a part of government …; that’s what “moderates” believe – government in control being so virtuous.
Lenin would agree. Get some gulags going and Hillary could give this idea a real shot.
Whatever, they’re the PLO and gun owners are Israelis. The shout out is their ultimate weapon.
It doesn’t ring true with the 20% of so of undecided voters. Many are concerned about Trump’s foreign policy. He needs to add coherence.
In core vote, the Dems have the edge, 40% to 33% roughly. That’s a seven point gap, roughly the difference in core votes if polling is right.
But that is maximum 3/4 of the vote. Where will they go? To third candidates or stay home? Trump needs all of them or it’s over.
Who can grow best out of that. Trumpists – don’t be so sure. He is precariously close to being outflanked by not undertaking a solemn promise to guide a GOP Congress to officially declare war against ISIS et al, something a Dem pollster hinted Hillary might do. It would be a brilliant stroke on her part, her best move yet, and might let her get away her abysmal judgment and poor leadership. She’s never do it; what does that matter?
On her economics speech: no biggie. Just rewind Obama’s hopie changie speeches for the same old same old – government in charge of the economy.
Because they’re clearly good at it? Is this voters’ belief? Connect the dots. If not the US is headed for the “what difference does it make now” economy.
Feinstein’s argument is simply nonsensical. The Orlando moslem was not on any watch list. Neither was the San Bernardino moslem terrorist. If either had been, I would presume that authorities would have noticed the buy and acted accordingly. Even though this was pointed out to her in the interview, she just went right on with that nonsense.
No, I don’t fret to much about the “prove your innocence” statement. It’s just more “I am an idiot” from the left wing of the American Democrat party. Rather what really disturbed me was the blatant revealing of the INCREMENTAL playbook. Ms Feinstein states that no guns for those on the terrorist watch list was only the first step. The second step is the “assault weapon” ban. The third is to copy the gun seizures as done by the British and the British Commonwealth countries …… we’ll get ‘er done little by little and then all at once.
“Never give an Inch” (Stamper family motto from Sometimes a Great Notion)
SA still has pull due to its oil exports being priced in US dollars. This is critical to propping up the massively QE’d US dollar. The US made a deal with the devil decades ago, as SA would then also agree to buy America’s IOUs, circulating America’s non-gold backed pieces of paper.
America may need SA to stick to that deal more than ever today for the economy’s sake. America produces far less, and is massively in debt. SA meanwhile is in a far stronger position today for renegotiating.
Or blackmailing.
Or controlling.
Use whichever adjective you feel offers the most apt description.
Same old schick, we have to kill you to protect your workplace safety.
To cover our failure to protect you from armed idiots, we must strip you of your weapons.
Never ever will these parasites admit the obvious, they serve no useful function,when it comes to your personal safety.
When faced with a crazed or evil human, seconds count.
You act or you become a statistic.
Your high priced self styled “protectors” are only minutes away, checking their standard operating procedure .
AKA safety first,check the donuts are clean.
Government is the art of stealing and then lying about it.
Parasitism 101.
Apart from the basic institutions, government is a bigger menace to our freedom than any wannabe religious nut-bar mass killer.
Simple uncommon sense.It is not easy to massacre armed citizens, constant refrain from the MSM how easy it is to kill the disarmed and dispirited.
If bureaucrats claim the exclusive right to defend us citizens, then it is way past time to fire them all for being such failures.
Blatant breach of contract, dereliction of duty and stunning hubris.
What will they claim responsibility for next?
The weather?
“Chocolate Jesus”
Best epithet yet.
Well done.
Thank you Peter.
Been using that one for about 4 years now.
Progressives are vile. How they get away with it baffles me.

Intellectial knownothing David Cohen calls for repeal of th 2nd AMENDMENT whats realy needed is this egghead to lose his american citizenship and move him to Reance so he can get a look at a disarmed citizenry at the hands of ISIS radicals
Possibly, but I think they can get out of that by reinvigorating their oil and gas sector and thus the economy, the actual way, not with artificial government created jobs or alternative energy BS. It can’t make economic sense to, especially on green grounds, to ship crude from halfway around the world when the resource exists domestically, no matter what comparative advantage may exist.
Meanwhile, starting “fining” them for their madrassa/US mosque inspired attacks, starting at $.5b and doubling from there.
Enough is enough, to hell with the devil. They can sell their oil to China. Somewhere along the way somebody is going to need US dollars.
This is fertile ground for the Donald. JR – once again, great remarks, spot on.
