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."

No, Pence should have to reverse his views on the perversion of the LGBTQ.
It is still amazing how society can go in one generation to creating a new elite royalty that pretty much dictates what views one should have or suffer the consequences.
Agreed, Ken.
It’s just proof that a vast “Liberal” portion of the country doesn’t believe in democracy and votes for Globalist Communism by force and violence.
Trump: ‘It Used to Be Cars Were Made in Flint, and You Couldn’t Drink the Water in Mexico’
Flint is a solid prediction.
When Trumps begins to worry about the “framing” it will be the start of his finish. After the type of campaign he ran and the ideas and thoughts he articulated, in his own way, based on his beliefs and a majority of those who brought him to the dance, he should plow ahead!
If he starts to worry about the MSM and finding the middle it will reveal a lack of faith in the “conservative” ideas he espoused, or he’s a fraud.
Oh well. We’ve been fooled before.
@ivbinconned: I agree, stay the course. Certainly don’t try to be an autocrat but don’t pander to every special interest group that throws a riot. Flint could indeed be a quagmire that cant be solved. Give a good college try but man that place is toxic. Maybe there is some cheap real estate closer to Detroit…
if the feds (Trump’s team) choose Flint as an example of carrying the “water”, please let the engineers come up with the plan first (sans politics). the levels of government that balk are the problem and need to be known.
it’s the same porblem in canada. why do we have boil water advisories fer chrissakes. that’s a third world problem.
call out the red tape wrappers, bureaucrats, blockers, freeloaders, shysters and just fix it.
I know that this site wants to deify Scott Adams … but when he buys into the LEFTY narrative about Steve Bannon and cautions that Bannon is reinforcing the “frame”. I vehemently disagree. The way to bust the frame is to broadcast EXACTLY who Bannon really is …
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Bannon
Yes, he is a no-prisoners, no-bullshiite, unapologetic conservative … what’s wrong with that ? And when one examines his biography … he can hardly be categorized as just another dumb, uneducated, rwhite whinggger. Sorry. Most lefty luvvies haven’t accomplished 1/10 of what Bannon has. I suggest what really gets under the lefties scrotum is that JUST LIKE ANDREW BREITBART … Bannon KNOWS who the lefties really ARE. Who they are – in private. Behind the scenes. He has been in the bowels of the beast Goldman Sachs. He has walked through Hollywood and knows where the bodies are buried (or little boys diddled). Bannon is a major THREAT to the left. Fcku-em ! I am THRILLED to have Bannon on my team. And I believe his role is PERFECT. Behind the scenes. Not a public face to the Trump Admin. yet lending his considerable smarts and strategy. Putting the effeminate male Rinse and Repeatus as the public face of the Trump Admin. was the EXACT right thing to do. But I will take Bannon’s brainpower over appearances any day of the week. Glad he is on board.
And I must admit, that I don’t really feel too motivated to change the frame. As Obama scolded us rwhite whinggers … “Elections have consequences”. The perpetual children who are being paid to pitch a fit in America’s leftiest cities are NOT winning over any converts. All the Mexican Flags, egg-throwing, American Flag burning, and violent taunting during the election was SEEN and REVILED by the majority of Americans. It helped DESTROY HER candidacy. Let em keep it up … for 8 years. I don’t care. And when they cross the line ? LOCK EM UP.
The American people will decide who is UNhinged and who isn’t. The best thing Trump is doing is to show a quiet, calm, decisive, leadership. His first week has been nothing short of SPECTACULAR. Mark my words … it will be recorded historically as SPECTACULARLY SUCCESSFUL in creating a massively positive image for America and the whole World. Trump is proving to be even SMARTER than I … I … gave him credit for.
And here’s what Trump should say about Pence and his LGBTQQdoodah “belief” and “attitude” …
yep. nothing.
Who cares ? Get on with it already. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and lifestyle choice. Yes, a lifestyle CHOICE. Find me the LGBTQQeieio gene … and then we can talk. Because then, we will have the “choice” to ABORT any babies with the LGBTQQ gene (remember ? you said nobody would want to “choose” being gay ?). If you believe it is OK to ABORT babies with Downs Syndrome, then why not ABORT babies with LGBTQQ syndrome ? Until then ? Knock yourselves out, enjoy your pride parades. The rest of us will simply ignore you. We aren’t interested. Get on with it already. And I will promise NOT to tell you how “boring” my regular old heterosexual “normal” sex life is … so “boring” … so “normal”.
Nobody is shocked. Nobody cares.
why do we have boil water advisories
In most cases it’s because the people who are paid good wages to maintain the community water treatment plant don’t do their job correctly. If they’re white they get fired, if not then excuses are made and nothing changes.
Guess why it’s the worst in communities where your chances of a wage job depends on how closely you are related to chief and council.
“Master Persuader” is itself a generous framing device. Another term might be “bait and switch”.
Remember when Trump promised to clean up Washington by kicking out the elitist establishment but is now inviting DC lobbyists and RNC staffers to set up his administration?: blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2016/11/11/trump-taps-lobbyists-and-top-donors-for-senior-transition-roles/
Remember when it used to be a “tall, beautiful wall” but now might just be a “fence”?
Remember when he was going to deport all 11 million illegals but now it’s “up to 3 million” and then maybe we’ll see about the rest?
Remember when he was going to “completely repeal and replace Obamacare” but now is planning to keep its most central pillar (i.e., guaranteed issue)?
Remember when he promised to appoint a special prosecutor to throw “crooked Hillary” in jail but now she’s “good people” and so he’s just “going to think about it”.
Remember when Republicans in Congress spent the past 8 years rejecting, on the grounds of affordability, the Obama administration’s calls to create jobs and stimulate the economy by rebuilding America’s crumbling public infrastructure but now Trump’s first priority is a New Deal-style infrastructure jobs program?
Master Persuader? Sure–but perhaps it’s his supporters who’ve been under his illusions this whole time.
Just watch lefty heads explode when Trump makes Milo Yiannopoulos the White House Press Secretary.
“I predict the “kitten” will be Flint.”
As predictions go, that’s not bad at all. It would satisfy several of his perceived negatives by both demonstrating his commitment to helping African American get a new deal and showing he is not a racist. It would also be a big Thank You to the Michigan voters.
Yeah, Flint might just be the kitten.
Milo gets MY vote ! No, I am not the least bit bothered by his LGBT!GAG status. Why ? Other than having a rather FLAMING persona … he just gets on with it. I LOVE his IDEAS and his WORDS. His personal proclivities mean -0- to me. I won’t be bedding him nor he me. But as a speaker who puts panty waists in their proper place ? There is none better. I would subscribe to C-SPAN … just for his press conferences.
Well BL, you might be right but then again you might be wrong. There are a lot of “Unknowns”.
But I will point out that “Not a single registered lobbyist raised a substantial amount for Mr. Trump’s campaign.” So there’s that, i.e., he doesn’t owe any of them. Maybe they are chosen because of their knowledge instead of their politics. That would be refreshing.
And there’s NOTHING contradictory to saying that SOME parts of the current health care system are going to remain. If they’re good things, why should they not? Trump supporters are not ideologues, they want workable solutions.
With the illegal aliens, one must start somewhere as it’s such a BIG problem that one can not solve it in one move. Starting with the criminals seems like a good place to begin to me. Well, that and actually enforcing laws already on the books. We’ll see where it goes from there as the months roll by.
As to the “wall”, at this point what you have written is purely your point of view. He’s not in office yet, doesn’t have his team in place yet, and so no one, including you, know what will happen. He said he will build the wall. Again, we will see…. but it’s way premature to say he won’t.
All in all, it appears to me that you are just trolling.
No deal.
The more of a Monster he is to the left, the better.
I agree that Trump and Pence should not be perceived as bending under pressure from the left. What’s the point of diversity if Pence (and I) can’t speak out against homosexuality? My gay friends know I don’t agree with their lifestyle choices (and they evidently don’t agree with mine), but we get along, get our work done and occasionally have a discussion that is meaningful.
why do bible bangers always narrow it down to sexual issues. Who gives a shit about LGBT sexual issues when discussing about forming an effective governing body. Fixated much!
I just think it will be hilarious to watch every press conference start with the words “Daddy says…”
That and the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the New York Times when they find they are no longer recognized by the White House as a legitimate news organization and get shut out of those press conferences.
Bible “bangers” ? Now whose Freudian slip is showing ?
I agree.
