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."

Socialists consistently fail to look more than one move down the chess board.
In this case, it’s obvious to everyone but Mugabe that no one with any brains is now going to strive to be an Olympic athlete, guaranteeing that Zimbabwe won’t get any medals in the next Olympics either.
Didn’t the Soviet Union send its athletes to Siberia if they didn’t win anything, or is that just hearsay?
I predict Zimbabwean athletes will be setting new world speed records to leave Mugabe’s socialist hell-hole.
Yes. Then there were tryouts for a special outdoor swimming event in Siberia for the upcoming Winter Olympics. Not to mention the 90 degree bobsledding and the javelin catching competitions.
This guy clearly lacks the class and imagination of Castro who refused to sent Cuban athletes to Seoul (because America) and just gave them all medals instead and the whole country was told to celebrate … or else.
Dictators are being dictators.
Someone should just invade Zimbabwe. How much worse could it get for its people?
For once, I agree with you, Smashi… The Brits/Europeans should never have let that savage dispossess all the white farmers of their land. Heck, they didn’t even have the excuse of “apartheid.”
It seems it’s ok when wogs do it to white folk, but not ok when white folk do it to side wogs. The world is upside-down
If I’m not mistaken,wasn’t Zimbabwe,or Rhodesia as it should have stayed, the Chair of the UN Commission on Economic Development a few years back?
Wtf is wrong with Western leadership that they haven’t sent in the troops,executed this sonofabitch and all his useless warriors,and freed the Nation?
The west’s population is lost in PC bullshit, and no longer believes in the inherent superiority of its ways. Instead, we are run by greedy banksters who just want to make a quick buck.
I see the name Mugabe, and I hear “Not The Nine O’Clock News” and Pamela Stephenson’s voice saying Moo-Gawww-Bay.
Wish I could find a clip for you younguns…heh, Moo-Gawww-Bay.
Did not watch much of the recent production. Never recovered from the scandal of the French and Russians rigging the figure skating a few years back. Every year it is more of the same. It is a global scam and the people eat it up.
In some ways I agree with the commie. I hate, loath, detest the olympics and all it has come to be and stand for and as such every nation would be better off spending the money on infrastructure than sports. Of course I don’t agree with him on arresting people for not winning ’cause he was the one that sent them to the olympics in the first place which in the eyes of the olympics gives the olympics additional legitimacy.
I think that sending athletes to Siberia was hearsay, but it was and probably still is a fact that their Olympic athletes were paid as members of their armed forces. So they live pretty good and are paid well to do nothing but eat, sleep and train their behinds off, while most Olympic athletes in Canada (and pretty much every other democratic country) paid their own way, working full-time at low paid menial jobs.
Considering the number of people currently employed at all levels of government here in Canada, some of whom seem to be *ahem* shall we say, less than totally committed to, or challenged by, performing their assigned duties, there should be somewhere our athletes could be employed that would allow them maximum time for training and eliminate their financial stresses.
It’s fun to speculate what that would do to our medal count at the next Olympics.
We had a Rhodesian ridgeback dog. My dad had done some work for a guy and he couldn’t pay so dad took the dog. Great dog. Slept in my bed. Attacked anyone, including my dad, who dared lay a hand on me.
Zimbabwean ridgeback doesn’t have the same ring.
No point in taking him out. His replacement would be just like him – maybe worse.
Christian Pilgrim: There is a place where they can be ’employed that allows maximum training time’….it’s call professional sport.
Instead of ridgeback, how about:
Zimbabwean Zombie, or
Zimbabwean zenith,
Zimbabwean zephyr,
Zimbabwean zeppelin,
Zimbabwean zigzag,
Zimbabwean zipper,
I kinda like Zimbabwean zealot (a member of an ancient Jewish sect in Judea in the first century who fought to the death against the Romans),
Zimbabwean Zarathustra (as in “Thus Spake Zarathustra” – the theme song for the movie, 2001 Space Odyssey),
If you were looking for a name (which I know you’re not) I like Zack (I think male dog names should be single syllable, my dog is Luke)
OK thats enuff, had sum fun – ill b quiet now!
Professional synchronized swimming etc? I don’t think all sports are covered – I could be wrong.
No market for it. Kinda like all women’s sport.
I think Hugh Hefner invented beach volleyball…maybe he could come up with syncro something.
Can someone explain to me WHY Hillary Clinton went after dictators like Ghadaffi … she came, she saw, he died *cackling laughter* … yet she allowed Mugabe to torture his fellow countrymen with impunity ?
Yes, well, I’m sure the Zimbabweans would appreciate some food for a change and a capable administrator who is not straight-up insane.
Here’s a favourite comment on the Olympics from F. Trueman: In a world awash in $700 trillion of nearly worthless derivatives, and with our liberties steadily vanishing through the manipulations of imperialist nation-builders and Keynesian liberals, the Olympics represent a truly degrading statist spectacle. The easily stampeded civil society applauds manically as redundant jocks stress their bodies through a series of arbitrary, mindless physical excesses. Eerily, the participants in this bread and circus are then described as heroes of the state and endlessly celebrated for their “character.”
much like stupidity, there is also no cure for evil, it persists no matter how often it is cut down.
I’ve got some books about the Rhodesian civil war (resistance to the communists). There’s a guy in Hinton AB who grew up there and has a bookshop / jersey shop online at http://www.rhodesiawassuper.com/ In one of the books I bought from him, a Rhodesian SAS sniper had Mugabe in his cross hairs (I don’t think it was an Pamwe Chete, but that’s an amazing book about the SAS and it’s sold out now anyway). They were in a cease fire, so the sniper just kept a bead on him for 10 minutes or so thinking “Should I do it anyways? Would it be worth it? I might not get another chance like this.” He never did get another chance. Mugabe lived to rule, and ruin, Zimbabwe. If I remember correctly, one thing the SAS patrol brought back was evidence that the communists were using the cease fire as a re-arming break.
That’s a tough question about civilization that the SJWs just don’t get. Men of good intent can cause huge evil if they only follow the civilized rules. I wonder how much different the history of southern Africa would be if the sniper, recognizing that the cease fire was doomed because of what they saw on that patrol, had taken the shot.
What are the odds that every one of the athletes voted for more government before the government came for them?
Hasn’t Mugabe had the Ceausescu Treatment yet? Why not?
