    John Ivison: Trudeau was always a joke to the right; he should worry now the left’s joined in the laughter…
    “The right has long lampooned Trudeau for being too stupid, too callow, too entitled to be a successful prime minister. But Saganash’s attack is much more devastating because it comes from the left, it mocks his arrogance, and it questions his principles.”

  2. Seen on Tucker Carlson tonight. Excellent letter by a reader to American Conservative. Read the whole thing.
    http://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/dont-dismiss-sjws/comment-page-1/
    For years I’ve seen too many comments along the lines of “SJWs will get out in the real world and they won’t be able to handle it! They’re dumb but they’re in for a rude awakening.”
    No, they are not. SJWism is the logical result of neoliberalism. As such, they will reinforce the globalist, imperialist Empire. The power of the meritocratic society gives our untitled aristocrats a belief in the rightness of their rule through the power of the resume and college credentialing. It’s kind of like being Born Again, except there’s not even the ghost of a belief in Sin to keep them in check. And there’s nothing like Confession, except making a list of grievances.

  3. The bad News is that the Ninth Circuit wants to re-hear Trumps case.. Requested by them when they heard the footsteps
    The good news is that every radical Islamic Terrorist is heading for California & Canada.. The easy green card & Visa’s in California will piss-off illegal Latinos & under educated blacks. The perfect Storm they created can’t be undone….Stupid has consequences..

  4. If he was required to live with those who set him free, then this foolishness would stop immediately.

  5. Another Canadian with Moroccan roots has been refused entry at Quebec’s border with the United States after being questioned for five hours and having his phone searched.
    Yassine Aber, a 19-year-old kinesiology student at the University of Sherbrooke, was denied entry to the U.S. on Thursday while trying to cross the border at Stanstead, Que. A search of Aber’s phone led U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents to a photo on Facebook in which he was tagged along with Samir Halilovic. Halilovic is one of three University of Sherbrooke students believed to have left Canada in 2014 to join Islamist fighters in Syria.

    This is just the beginning of the US tightening the Canadian border, and for good reason. Canadians crossing the border will personally pay for the biased, one-sided, anti-Trump actions of the Canadian government’s CBC. If the government broadcaster continues to pursue their demonstrated love to hate Trump and the American government policies, then Canadians can expect to be treated as adversaries not friends. There will be consequences for CBC’s anti-American actions; it’s their country and they decide who gets in. It would help if CBC journalists tried to emulate the un-biased objectivity that Rex Murphy brings to his commentary.

  8. RE: They hate you.
    Yes they do. They hate everyone who is not completely with them, mind and body and soul.
    I’ve quoted this line from the movie Terminator several times in the past. I maintain that this quote is succinct, pithy and says it the best. Just replace ‘Terminator’ with ‘Leftist’ or ‘Progressive’ and there it is.
    “Listen, and understand! That Terminator is out there! It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop… ever, until you are dead!” LOL

  9. Ennio Morricone
    To talentless character like me, it seems something like a genius when people with music in their head, look at a movie or anything else for that reason, and say and do what is sound like.
    Yeah, some kind of genius.

  10. So, these kinds of articles are now appearing regularly, including on the front page of the Toronto Star the other day:
    https://www.yahoo.com/news/asylum-seekers-fleeing-us-canada-brave-snow-extreme-131134936.html
    The articles seem complete nullities to me — more descriptive of anecdotes than anything else. There has been little to no comment around here about any of this, which I find odd. It appears to me that a bunch of people, soon very likely to substantially increase in numbers as word gets around, are risking life and limb, literally, to escape the United States (afraid of something, which fear can’t all be based on group-think hysterical left-wing nonsense; there is reference is some cases to their having being found illegal aliens by the U.S. government, and their behaviour would make all of them, at the point of entry, illegal immigrants to Canada, as well, clearly).
    Some questions:
    1. Does this not constitute a threat to Canadian sovereignty that anybody’s concerned about?
    2. Who are these people, and what are the motivations for their fear beyond the possibility of deportation back to their country of origin?
    3. What’s the policy response? Are we okay with all of this, and okay just to let it happen? Are we okay with the police, or Canada Post employees, serving as a taxi service to the nearest border crossing kiosk or refugee shelter, which are sure to be overwhelmed soon, if they aren’t already?
    4. What are we going to do with them once they’re here? Who’s going to pay for all of the costs of having them here?
    5. What are the standards of acceptability for entry on a permanent basis, and how many are we willing to take, and should this not be organized in advance (as in get ahead of this thing)?
    Seems to me that we have the potential for a “southern border problem” now as well. Crickets seems to be the response from those responsible for dealing with this situation. Blaming Donald Trump is not an answer, only an excuse: U.S. immigration issues have been on the table for a long time, and a policy response like his was certainly a significant possibility at some point. I’d wager that now that the Rubicon has been crossed on dealing with those issues, it’s not going to go away anytime soon. This is now a Canadian problem, and not an American one.

  11. Wrt to juthtin meeting with Trump.
    Trump is plain spoken and will be looking for answers to two questions. When will juthtin have a negotiation team ready for NAFTA renegotiation, and when juthtin tables his next budget will Canada’s defence spending be raised to 2% of GDP. Everything else is moot.
    Now these answers will require juthtin to respond without a scripted response, so you have to ask what can go wrong when juthtin has to adlib with out a script?

  12. Thanks for the post; this is beyond belief :-

  13. The interesting thing about these ‘asylum seekers’ who are coming into Canada as refugees is that they have been doing so for months. I remember catching this story back in the Fall. It was barely a blip on the radar but now it’s getting covered more because it can be seen as fitting the anti-Trump narrative.

  14. Is there some connection to the religion of Islam and obsession with sex? Why can’t men and women worship together in their places of worship? Is there really that extreme disregard for women and their rights as persons? Is there really no control over primal urges among those of that faith? It’s just so puzzling.
    If it is proven as alleged that a Syrian refugee has sexually violated young girls here in Canada is this not grounds for deportation? It’s really not possible to screen for such crimes but if it becomes more prevalent perhaps we need to rethink our immigration policies and stipulate that is not allowed under our laws, women are respected here, they are equal to men.

  15. A couple of months ago someone at SDA mentioned the French TV series “A French Village”. I followed up and have been watching. It is a terrific series — many thanks for bringing it to our attention. I am watching with subtitles, but there may be a dubbed version for those who dislike subtitles. Well worth tracking down.

  16. The Good The Bad and The Ugly made 28 million at the box office in 1966, unheard of for a western, especially a western that had its critics; too violent no dialogue.
    Today that musical score is rated in the top 5 best of all time. The music made the movie and the movie series made Clint Eastwood a star.

  17. Someone observed here earlier this week that Trump will have been briefed on all the comments bongo and the libranos have made about him. He’ll be aware that the fool bongo said he would prefer Clinton to Trump during the election.
    Conrad Black has suggested Trump in person is very gracious. That courtesy will be extended to bongo. At the same time the Canadian delegation will come away with a clear message. The US is going to cut taxes, renegotiate NAFT and expect Canada to pay its way in military alliances.
    These priorities are the antithesis of everything bongo and the libranos represent, but they will be forced to deal with them. Painted into a corner the librano base will recoil at the decisions bongo is going to have to make. They will turn on him.
    Ring side seats are still available to watch the wailing, hand wrenching and caterwauling.

  18. “The Good The Bad and The Ugly made 28 million at the box office in 1966, unheard of for a western, especially a western that had its critics; too violent no dialogue.”
    At 2 hours and 40 minutes, it went on for far too long. If it lost an hour, it would be a much easier film to sit through.

  19. They need to read the Art of the Deal: The new Nalcor CEO Stan Marshall says Nalcor is talking with Emera about changing the terms of existing contracts for the Maritime Link, the 170-kilometre subsea cable that will eventually carry electricity from southwestern Newfoundland to Cape Breton.
    The agreement was made in 2015.
    Another disastrous negotiation from Newfoundland.

    “Keeping out the Cold
    Protagonists of renewables frequently and conveniently overlook that countries like Germany consume vast amounts of energy just to keep warm. Not wind; not PV solar and not hydropower deliver the heat that stop Germans freezing to death in the colder months of the year. Indeed, heating is required for 8 to 10 months a year, depending on the region and the whim of the weather.
    Residents of towns and cities benefit(ted) from district heating where a local thermal (hydro-carbon or isotope fuelled) power plant disposes of its “waste heat” by pumping it around town; substantially improving overall plant efficiency. It works best in cold weather.”

  22. Notice how the muslimes don’t condemn the actions of this pedophile/pervert at the Edmonton pool. Instead they play the victim card and label anyone who criticizes them as ‘islamophobic’.
    Muslime culture condones pedophilia, as well as rape and molestation of ‘infidel’ women because they dress provocatively and are ‘asking for it’. Canadians are not docile sheep like Scandinavians. They won’t tolerate this shit and vigilante groups will form, regardless of how the CBC tries to suppress the news. At some point a muslime is going to molest an aboriginal girl and the shit will hit the fan.

  23. Dear Climate Alarmists – We Will Never Forget nor Forgive.
    By Adam Piggott –
    February 7, 2017
    It’s been a rough ten years as a so-called “climate denier”. Every year the climate data would show a complete refusal to follow the accepted and official line, and every year the faith of the climate change faithful only seemed to get stronger and stronger. And their abuse of heretics like myself only got stronger and stronger. I have lost friendships over my stance on this issue. I have been attacked publicly by those around me on numerous occasions. And I have endured the casual mockery at social gatherings where the accepted response has been to pat me on the head in a condescending manner – here he is; our own climate denier. Isn’t he precious?
    I have watched landscapes I love destroyed by the looming figures of gigantic wind farms that stand in mute mockery of my continued resistance to this enormous scam. I have observed with silent loathing the hypocrites who swan around in their enormous SUVs while proudly parading their dubious green credentials, even as ordinary families struggle with the reality of paying their ever-increasing power bills. Only a few months ago, a piece I wrote on the climate change scam elicited concerned emails and calls from people I know who cautioned me with the treacherous path I was taking.
    But money talks and bulls— walks, and the money is beginning to drop out of this con to end all cons.

    Because the climate scam was too big. You pushed all of your chips into the centre of the table and said, “all in,” with a smug stare at us sitting on the other side of the felt. And you busted out. Not only have you busted out, but you don’t have any more chips to play. We’re not going to let you have any. From now on, every time you come up with some pathetic attempt to control populations through a fear-based con we will remind everyone of climate change. Every time governments attempt to hijack science to support a political agenda, we will bring up that old climate change bugbear. You are going to be shoved into the corner as the crazy bearded freak standing on the side of the road with his sign proclaiming the end of the world is nigh. We aren’t going to listen to you any more. You have proven yourselves too stupid or untrustworthy to participate in public discourse.

    And you lot had the nerve to label the very few of us who stood up to this rubbish and tried to protect the very system which you so mindlessly enjoy as being climate deniers?
    You can all go f— yourselves. We will not forget. We will remind you for the rest of our lives. We will write the histories. You will never again be able to publicly hide from your cowardice, your avarice, your gullibility, your ignorance, and your sheer stupidity. But at least you’ll still have that free market capitalist model to enjoy which you so badly wanted to throw in the recycling bin.
    You’re welcome.

    “Lysenko constituted the most respected figure of the soviet scientific community for more than 20 years. The acknowledged biologist had the direct support of Stalin and was awarded with many titles during his career. The methods he introduced were forcefully applied throughout the Soviet Union, and in China. He was also a liar, a fraud and an oppressor.
    By counterfeiting his research data, muzzling his opponents and identifying his “findings” with the Marxists ideology, he conjured up pseudoscientific theories that had catastrophic results for the country’s agriculture, which was already suffering from Stalin’s collectivization and the farmers’ opposition to it. The need for immediate growth in the field of agriculture was urgent.”

    I’ve seen the director’s cut in which certain bits that weren’t included in the original release were shown. Those add to the length of the movie and, in my opinion, don’t add a whole lot to the overall story.
    One of the reasons that this movie is held in such high regard was the authenticity. Leone wanted to have as many of the details in the movie to be correct, so, for example, the reference to General Sibley was genuine. Henry Hopkins Sibley commanded a Confederate unit in New Mexico, which would have been a backwater during the American Civil War.

  29. John, the warmists were always gambling with our money, never their own. Make these apparatchik statists put their own money, reputations and jobs up.

  30. It won’t matter spit what juthtin talks about.
    The globalists have appointed him their champion and if he doesn’t demonstrate the ability to bend Trump’s ear they like those that expected juthtin to fufill his election promise on election reform, will feel betrayed. The primary expectation is that after their meeting Trump is supposed to make juthtin a crucial point of contact and Trump must consult with him on all issues before taking action….no really thats their expectation.
    They have been building this up for about a week now and if he comes out of the meet not getting an atomic wedgie they will claim some kind of victory.
    At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Trump has been pretty clear on what he wants and he hasn’t kept it a secret, he wants to renegotiate NAFTA and he wants the other NATO members to ante up their defense spending, he could care less what juthtin says otherwise.
    Fyi
    The tradition of POTUS having a place of business away from DC appears to be repeating.
    Bush had the ranch in Crawford Texas, looks like Trump is making Mara Largo the unofficial White House south.
    So anyone that is on the A list gets an invite to the club. Anyone care to bet the odds of juthtin getting the chance to play a round of golf with the Donald?
    But I digress.
    The progressive anti Trump left wing are hoping juthtin will have the termerity to say no to Trump, his blu-lib caucus back in Ottawa are likely hoping he doesn’t say something that starts a trade war or gets us on the “do not invite” list, the globalists are expecting juthtin to charm his way into Trump’s inner circle.
    So you gotta ask….when was the last time juthtin stuck his foot in his mouth and will he do it again when he meets Trump.
    Again I’m going to stress that I doubt Trump cares if Trudeau is an intellectual giant or a mental midget, but if he won’t commit to those two requests Trump will simply say…
    “Don’t call us, we’ll call you”.
    The best part is that Trump can do it cordially and being as nice as pie.
