  3. To the Conservative leadership candidates
    The first one who stands up and states they they will Eliminate the racist Indian Act(and in turn the Indian Industry) and treat our fellow Canadians as Canadians will receive my support (voting and financial).
    This Act of apartheid treats our friends and neighbours as second class citizens who are not capable of taking care of themselves.
    I’m certain that if we treat them with the same rights and responsibilities as everyone else they will also prosper.

  5. Low growth in global carbon emissions continues for third successive year
    Global carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels did not grow in 2015 and are projected to rise only slightly in 2016, marking three years of almost no growth, according to researchers at the University of East Anglia (UEA) and the Global Carbon Project.
    https://wattsupwiththat.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/carbon-infographics2016.jpg?w=720&h=1016
    The USSA, Russia, EU, Japan and even Canada have reduced or stabilized GHG emissions. China and India continue to increase their GHG emissions. Even for the people who believe that GHGs cause the climate to change, there can be no justification for carbon taxes other then to fund the Lieberal’s greenwashed foolishness.

  7. With the Trump administration promising to deport illegal immigrants, it brings back memories of dozens of songs written about the border between Texas and Mexico. From Texas Rangers crossing the Rio Grande on horseback by moonlight in dire attempts to capture wayward banditos, to young cowboys falling in love with beautiful senoritas, there were many colorful songs written on the topic. This was one of my favorite.

  11. My father listens to that station in his pickup truck. I’m not a fan of country music, but, sometimes, it sometimes features tunes or singers worth listening to, such as Emmylou Harris.

  13. Our local native band (I don’t ever use that ‘First Nations’ meme) were awarded $50 million dollars for 32 hectares of land that is now part of our downtown core.
    http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/first-nation-accepts-50-million-settlement-with-federal-government-for-lost-land-in-nanaimo-b-c
    I’m okay with that. It works out to around $58K for every man, woman and child, but if they put it to work for their members it’s not necessarily a bad thing.
    However, I would like to see every community gathering do away with the nonsense of tugging a forelock while “thanking (insert name)our first nations people for the opportunity to gather on their ancestral lands, blah blah”.
    We bought it, you’ve been paid for it, let’s move on.

  18. “Wake Up, Trump Just Put A White Nationalist In The White House” (huffpo)
    …-
    “Trump To Bring Back Churchill Statue SHAMEFULLY Removed from White House by President Obama”
    “NIGEL FARAGE has revealed that Donald Trump will re-install a bust of Winston Churchill removed from the Oval Office by Barack Obama – in a clear sign of the friendship the new President wishes to foster with Britain.”

  19. exactly! We always need more female peddo’s ! Canada gotta represent all factions of demographics

  22. Merl Haggard nailed it with his assessment of today’s country music:
    “They’re talking about screwing on a pickup tailgate and things of that nature. I don’t find no substance. I don’t find anything you can whistle, and nobody even attempts to write a melody”
    You were probably accurate Merl:
    if it ain’t drinking and partying, it’s lusting and fornicating. It makes for some thin soup indeed.

  23. Indeed. Modern country music is a long way from what was produced during the era of people like Hank Williams.

  25. “…. One factor appears to be an unusually large and stable high pressure region that has formed over Canada….”
    I somehow KNEW the Canadians were responsible for this.
    Well, as with everything, time will tell. Meanwhile, I’m not unhappy with the weather here in Michigan.

  26. Do you suffer from TARD?
    Do You Know Someone Suffering From Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder (TARD)? Know the Signs, Spot the Symptoms, Save a Life
    Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder is a pattern of pathologically dissociative and psychotic behavior, first observed in the late hours of November 8th 2016, and increasing in severity with passing time. Sufferers of Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder often exhibit pronounced cognitive dissonance, sudden bouts of rage, uncontrollable crying, suicidal ideation, and extreme butthurt.
    Signs and Symptoms:
    People with Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder are characterized by a persistent unwillingness to accept that Donald Trump is going to Make America Great Again. Individual sufferers often display signs of paranoia and delusion; in acute cases psychotic episodes have been observed. Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder is different from being upset about the results of the 2016 presidential election; People with TARD are unwilling or unable to accept reality, despite irrefutable evidence.
    According to the DSM-V, individuals with TARD exhibit most or all of the following symptoms:
    Telling others they are moving to Canada
    Fixated on fantasies about the Electoral College
    Protesting an election no credible source contests the outcome of
    Exclamations that “Someone” should do “Something”
    Sudden weight gain
    Acute change in demeanor from pompous and arrogant to fearful and combative
    Claim that anyone who disagrees with them is some combination of Racist, Sexist, Bigoted, Homophobic, and Actually Hitler
    Causes and Mechanisms:
    Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder was directly caused by the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States of America. For many, both in America and worldwide, this was a shocking and unexpected outcome; their preferred news sources having failed to inform them that the alternative candidate was a criminal parasite in such ill health she got chucked into the back of a van like a kidnap victim.
    Research is ongoing, but TARD appears to correlate closely with the following environmental and behavioral factors:
    Membership in the Democratic party
    Identifying as a Feminist
    Currently enrolled in college, and/or
    Possession of a Liberal Arts college degree
    -+Living in a densely populated metropolitan area
    Massive student debt
    Spotty or non-existent work history
    Hipsterism
    Diagnosis:
    Diagnosis of Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder is straightforward. Ask the patient if Donald Trump is going to be the Next President of the United States of America. Some patients will become agitated, and may attempt to deflect. It’s critical you press them on the issue, even if they start babbling about ‘muh triggers’. A sufferer of TARD will begin to ramble incoherently, often displaying three or more of the symptoms within a short period of time.
    Co- morbidity:
    A diagnosis of Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder is highly comorbid with Paraphilic Infantilism, Emotional Eating, Bush Derangement Syndrome, and adult bed wetting.
    Treatment:
    The only known effective treatment is exposure therapy. The patient must be repeatedly exposed to reality, and should wear a Make America Great Again hat as long as they are able to tolerate it. Each exposure should increase in length, after a week the patient should be encouraged to be seen in public wearing the MAGA hat. Coach the patient to refer to Donald Trump as President-Elect Trump.
    Patients with TARD are very resistant to treatment, and dangerous in large groups. Any possibility of treatment requires that they be separated from their hive-mind support apparatus; they cannot begin the process of accepting reality in the presence of encouragement towards delusion and irrationality. Separation may require the assistance of law enforcement.
    If you have a friend or loved one suffering from TARD, urge them to seek treatment. Together we can beat this scourge, and Make America Great Again!

  28. See? We had el Niño Decembers in 1997 and 1999. Now we have a warm November. Each time, a Liberal was prime minister. It must be due to all the hot air they generated, right?

  30. For those that think country music sucks watch the Youtube vid of Buddy Rich trashing it. Start at the 10 min mark. Buddy takes country to the woodshed.

  34. What a disgusting piece of progressive drivel..
    “…Visiting the U.S. now becomes a matter of conscience..”
    Really, yea, better stay in your igloo (AKA: CDN Safe Sapce)….Un F’n Real…
    …they just don’t get it do they.?? I doubt they ever will.
    The problem however is that I see a greater percentage of Canadians on the progressive side than ever before…thanx to MEDIA Social Engineering…
    Let us hope and pray the Conservative win in 2019 or whenever that vote is, that they defund the CBC, and ban any Public Servant from joining a UNION….that is where all this progressive bull shit started anyway…..Marxism = Unionism = Progressives.
    oh, and Im all in favour of a total scrapping of the Indian Act.
    Theres an instant savings of some 20-25 Billion annually.

  35. Your governments priorities.
    The Liberal government is repealing what it calls a “discriminatory” law that makes it illegal to have anal sex under the age of 18, unless it is between a husband and wife.
    Right now, the age of consent for sexual activity is 16 but the Criminal Code prohibits anal intercourse for people under the age 18 unless they are husband and wife, a discrepancy many have denounced as unconstitutional.
    Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould announced the change today, saying the “outdated” law violates equality rights.

  36. 80% of all music in all genres produced in any given year is utter crap. The same holds true for the country music during Hank Williams Sr.’s time and Bocephus’s time. When Buddy Rich was active, 80% of the Jazz and Big Band music was crap. In Led Zepplin’s heyday, 80% of rock music was crap.

  37. On this day, 1941, under a Liberal Government …..
    The converted passenger liner “Awatea” arrived in Hong Kong, carrying 2,000 Canadian troops (the Winnipeg Grenadiers and Royal Rifles of Canada under Brigadier J Lawson) to aid in the defence of the island. Royal Canadian Navy armed merchant cruiser “Prince Robert” escorted the troop ship “Awatea”. The Canadians will boost the garrison in Hong Kong, but, as Churchill himself has pointed out, two semi-trained battalions are unlikely to deter Japan from war, but will merely increase the numbers of prisoners the Japanese can take. The Canadians seem only too aware of this. “Oh God, another Dunkirk,” Signalman William Allister said when he heard where he was going. “No fella,” another voice added, “at Dunkirk they had somewhere to go.”

    “Russian President Vladimir Putin is just simply mopping the floor with President Obama and Secretary of State John F. Kerry, in Syria and elsewhere. Mr. Kerry still can’t get over the fact that another world leader actually cares about the country he leads and pursues its interests, instead of chasing after some greater, secret agenda that doesn’t include national borders.”

    For corn sakes…No !
    What about the Benghazi deaths? What about the promises to prosecute; do not give in.
    All politicians need to know they will be dealt with by the courts when they break the law.
    At the very least, order complete and wide ranging investigations. Publish it all, every stinking word,then pardon her but only if you get ALL the damn millions back from the Clinton Fdn.
    Outlaw them from raising funds for ANYTHING…..and turn the funds over to Bill’s rape and other victims and the families of the Benghazi victims!
    Go after the head of the Justice Dept and the IRS….for malfeasance, failure to do their jobs and using the power of their offices to oppress law abiding citizens or to act as an co-conspirators for various crimes….those bastards need to do decades in jail !
    But it’s just my nature to be a bit forgiving.

  43. Emmilou’s ‘Red Dirt Girl’ CD is one of my favourites. Here’s ‘Bang the Drum Slowly’….A classic!

    “The Trump Taboo at COP 22
    The president-elect is omnipresent at this year’s international climate meeting even though nobody is saying his name”
    “There is a taboo word at this year’s 22nd UN climate change summit: Trump.
    The president-elect is omnipresent in Marrakesh. You can feel him lurking behind talks on low-carbon economies and in the cracks between climate-induced loss and damage. He’s never directly addressed, but he’s always in the room.
    You can tell from the anxiety in people’s voices and their disapproving headshakes, heavy with concern for what the future for action on climate change holds. With a climate skeptic transitioning the EPA and Donald Trump in the White House for the next four or eight year, there is an intense fear of failure to act quickly and strongly enough to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius, the accepted safe temperature rise before catastrophic consequences.
    That fear is valid.”

    “When 225 Canadians jet to Morocco to ‘fight climate change’, they emit clouds of hypocrisy”
    “In a gratuitously spectacular display of counterproductive hypocrisy, an anticipated 225 Canadians will jet to Morocco to denounce the use of fossil fuels.
    Canada’s catalogue of participants is so large it takes up the better part of eight pages in the United Nations list of attendees. Australia’s delegation can fit on two pages, as can China’s, which has 38 times Canada’s population and immensely greater emissions issues to deal with. France, which hosted last year’s conference, has five pages of names. While some Canadian delegates are footing their own bills, federal, provincial and municipal governments will pay the lion’s share of costs.”

  46. Sure country music sucks but so do all other forms of music. The thing that defines what is good is the market. Country music has a market as do all other forms of music to greater or lesser degree.
    Who care what I like? What matters is what you like. What you spend your money on.

  48. Many years ago, I heard an interesting comment about that.
    CBC used to have a show RSVP, first on what used to be called CBC Radio and, later, on CBC Stereo. Classical music listeners could make requests to have something played for them on the air. It could be a specific composition, something by a certain composer, or recording by a selected performer.
    One day, the host at the time received a request by telephone from one of the Judds, who happened to be on tour at the time. She said that there were only two kinds of music: good music and bad music and his show had good music.

  49. Never a shortage of well-connected Canadians ready to waft off to exotic warm locales to help “save de planet”!
    Bastards are just there for a nice taxpayer-funded vacation, as well all well know. A legitimate representative group would consist of maybe a dozen people.
    Shut this goddamned scam down,President Trump, asap!

  50. Emmylou Harris has been consistently good throughout the years. Here’s a classic gem from a long time ago which also has Linda Ronstadt singing backup and Bernie Leadon on guitar:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzuSeaMy-aU
    Harris later sang backup on some of the song on Rondstadt’s album Heart Like A Wheel and Leadon was one of the founding members of the Eagles.
    Great stuff!
