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."

Never underestimate these people. Remember what happened in October 1917 in Russia.
“”It’s our job for the rich to fear us.” ”
Pity that Canadians in the private sector wouldn’t appropriate and slightly modify that sentence: “It’s our job for the political class to fear us.”
Those tactics should have been used for many years already but at politicians offices not real estate offices. Hit the real enemy and make the politicians fear us not just anyone who you deem as “rich”.
Ah. Jamie and patrick…they (SJW’s) will never go after the political class,as they are brethren. It’s up too small c conservatives do start warring against both the SJW’s and the political masters,just like the Commies did in 1917, but this time with a different outcome. Problem is,how far down the rabbit hole do the small c’s have to go before they wake up?
Couldn’t agree more Ken. My first thought when I read this was, “I bet that’s what the Bolsheviks were chanting prior to 1917 and look at the horrors they gave the world.
Ken, Rob:
Keep in mind that the left *never* attacks its own rich. In fact, it wants the politburo to be well-off and comfortable in order to rule with “wisdom” and “benevolence”. Meanwhile, the proletariat are permitted (forced?) to be poor. After all, the masses can be more easily subjugated when their main concern is basic survival. (What’s the difference between that and the slavery that the left claims to despise?)
Look at the Stalinist USSR, Maoist China, and North Korea under the Kim dynasty. After all, under socialism/communism, everyone is equal, but the ruling elite is more equal than everyone else.
Well said. Just ask Canadians if they would like to rich to pay more tax, given the 1% paying 40% of total taxes not deemed enough.
Then ask them if they would like their sports teams to suck for all time, like this year in hockey, but forever. That along with CBC unwatchable crap.
Indeed. The “1%” that the left vilifies doesn’t include entertainers or professional athletes. In the realm of bread and circuses, those engaging in the latter are exempt.
It reminds me of James Caan’s character, Jonathan, in “Rollerball” (the original from 1975 directed by Norman Jewison, not the apparently dreadful re-make of a few years ago). He is accorded every luxury and every desire in his personal life because he entertains the masses, thereby subduing them. He does this to the point of frenzy as shown in the final scene after he scores the only goal in that game. The crowd slowly chants his name as he skates along the track, which becomes an enthusiastic crescendo just before the closing credits are shown.
The left does not understand this, and politicians are too busy staying popular.

Over two hundred years ago Edmund Burke wrote this, chastising the Governors who had lost touch with the Governed:
“Because half a dozen grasshoppers under a fern make the field ring with their importunate chink, whilst thousands of great cattle, reposed beneath the shade of the oak, chew the cud and are silent, pray do not imagine that those who make the noise are the only inhabitants of the field…”
But, as long as the thousands of great cattle continue to act like stupid cows, the irritating insects will continue to rule the day.
Well said. This is one of the main tenants of the left. All the while lulling the classes with false rhetoric about the glorious utopia and forced equality they will bring. The plight of the blacks in the US and natives here in Canada who are kept in slavery.
They forget to mention the insatiable thirst for blood, treasure, and power they have.
The fact is that the left wants to replace the existing “1%” with its own “1%”. It’s accomplished that in a number of countries. The Castros control most of the Cuban economy and have grown rich as a result. Hugo Chavez’s family have raked it in while the peasants had to make do with next to nothing.
Being rich is not only acceptable, it’s admirable. The only thing is that one has to be the “right” sort of rich. After all, when has a socialist ever criticized or condemned George Soros?
