  1. Like many Conservative supporters, I struggled to decide for whom I was going to vote in the upcoming leadership election. I don’t really like O’Leary all that much, at least not as a politician. On the other hand, if I was buying a new Chevrolet and he’d be one of the sales staff, he’d be the guy I’d love to deal with.
    So last Friday, I decided to support Andrew Scheer. He is the one that has the most backing within the CPC and by a long shot.
    I went on Scheer’s web site, found the address, and made out a cheque for my membership, along with a donation. On Sat. the 25th, I went to a small rural post office and mailed my letter. That outlet was opened so I had the Postmaster date the letter for that day.
    This AM I started to ponder on what happens if my cheque doesn’t get there today. (28th.) Both the cheque and the enveloppe were dated 25th, however I wanted to make sure that was legal, and that it would give me the right to vote in the election. So I phoned Mr. Scheer’s number, (the one that is listed on his campaign site,) and guess what?? Nobody answered. It was 10:00 AM and now it’s 10:50 PM and they’re still not answering. I find it peculiar that a person who wants to be the next PM of Canada would not have someone answering the phone on the eve of what could be the most important deadline of his life.
    I did leave a message, and no one got back to me. Had they contacted me, it was still time for me to buy my membership with a credit card, although I don’t like doing that. On the other hand, they didn’t seem all that interested in winning, now did they?? We’ll see what happens.

  2. The Hill fake news ####s have finally corrected the headline too (although kept the word “Nazi” in it).

  3. According the the Hill times article ” P38s in Canada are prohibited because of the barrel length.”
    That’s bullshit. With a 125mm barrel length a P-38 is not prohibited. Prohibited firearms are those with a barrel length of 100mm or less.

  4. “…firing what two experts identified as a Walther P-38 semi-automatic gun”
    A pistol that is semi automatic?????* Oh the humanity! It must be one of those that spray bullets in every direction and kill 24 year old babies.
    *You mean like almost every other pistol in the world?

  5. “BREXIT! PM Signs Official Letter to Brussels Beginning Britain’s Departure from the European Union”
    “LONDON, March 28 (Reuters) – Prime Minister Theresa May will file formal Brexit divorce papers on Wednesday, pitching the United Kingdom into the unknown and triggering years of uncertain negotiations that will test the endurance of the European Union.
    Nine months after Britons voted to leave, May will notify EU Council President Donald Tusk in a letter that the UK really is quitting the bloc it joined in 1973.”

  6. I’m signed up to do Leger surveys online. They had one for the Government of Alberta about workplace safety. Early on, they wanted some “what bin do you fit in?” questions answered. The funniest one follows (I hope I remembered them all correctly, but I’m certain of the first four).
    Gender:
    Male,
    Female,
    Transitioning, identify as male
    Transitioning, identify as female
    Trans male
    Trans female
    Other
    Yeah, because what turns someone on is such an important part of safety on the job.

  7. Maryland teen planned shooting at her school
    THURMONT, Md. (AP) — An 18-year-old student meticulously planned a mass shooting at her high school in which she intended to die, authorities in Maryland said Monday.
    A shotgun, ammunition and bomb-making materials including nails and fireworks were found at Nichole Cevario’s home in Thurmont on Thursday, Frederick County Sheriff Charles Jenkins said at a news conference.

  8. I see bongo has approved the sale of a high tech Montréal company to the chi-cons. Haper blocked the sale on the advice of national security firms who deemed it a security risk. After a secretive second review the libranos approved the sale.
    Still think chretien and the boys from Power Corp arn’t steering the ship? Chairman Moe is laughing

  9. That’s because Juthtin has such an overwhelming admiration for China and is determined to continue making Canada into the North American branch of its empire.

  10. ” we live in a post-national country (whatever that’s supposed to mean)” It means that Canada as a country is dead, and we are now part of the “globalist community.” I was appalled at this statement . . . along with the comment that we have no “core identity”. On Apr. 6th, Trudeau travels to New York, undoubtedly to get further marching orders from the UN. It is shocking that Canadians are too naive to realize what is happening — they will, once Canada is no longer recognizable.

  11. If Canada as a country is dead, then there’s no point paying income tax to such a non-existent country, is there? After all, nobody pays income tax to the no-longer-existing country of Prussia, do they?

  12. It is shocking that Canadians are too naive to realize what is happening — they will, once Canada is no longer recognizable.
    Will they? I don’t think so, nor do I believe that they would care even if they did. If it isn’t on Farcebook or some such website, it likely won’t get their attention.

  13. What kinda country sells it’s military secrets?
    Maybe the chi-coms made a discrete donation to the trudeau foundation. Naw couldn’t be…could it?
    Guess that’s what a dead country does.

  14. I’m not surprised that the chi-coms would be interested in our technical products and services.
    While I was working on my last 2 degrees, I noticed that many of my fellow grad students came from there as did several new faculty members.
    By then, many companies had farmed out their research and development activities to university engineering and science departments. Considering that much of that work was and still is done under all sorts of agreements regarding confidentiality, some of it might be of interest to foreign powers.
    I’m convinced that many of those same grad students, some of whom are now professors at various universities, were engaged in industrial espionage.

  15. @Rizwan: So is this Maryland honour student another mental ill Muslim? The news media needs to clarify.

  16. Pistols with barrel lengths less than 105mm are prohibs. There are versions of the P38 that are restricted or prohib.
    They are 9mm semi auto double action pistols and yes I have fired one.
    Not a fan, they are heavy and I don’t like double action triggers.

  17. I’m still trying to figure out what a semi-automatic pistol is. A semi-automatic rifle self-loads and fires one shot with each pull of the trigger. An automatic rifle self loads and fires from one to magazine capacity shots with each pull of the trigger at the shooter’s option. An automatic pistol self-loads and fires one shot with each pull of the trigger. Now what the eff is a semi-automatic pistol? I keep hearing the term in relation to gun control but don’t hear it at the range. You don’t suppose the term “semi-automatic pistol” is a badge of ignorance for gun control Nazis?

  18. “An automatic pistol self-loads and fires one shot with each pull of the trigger.”
    No, an automatic pistol keeps firing until the trigger is released.

  19. “No, an automatic pistol keeps firing until the trigger is released.”
    You don’t suppose the term “semi-automatic pistol” is a badge of ignorance?

  20. Is more like a coup by stealth. The existing bureaucracy in Ottawa will continue to collect your taxes on behalf of the globalists at the UN who are running things. They are also the ones deciding where your tax dollars will go (green projects in 3rd world countries, abortion services, etc.)They have even made a point of side-lining any politician who might know something (McCallum, Dion, LeBlanc). Instead, we get the know-nothings, eg. Monsef, and of course Trudeau. REALLY, it is a huge scam that has been perpetrated on Canadians.

  21. “union calls on government to help media industry” But the government is helping the media industry. They give tons of money to the CBC. Now if others want a cut of that, they should speak up, but don’t expect the taxpayer to dole out even more to support the media industry.

  23. A semi-automatic rifle self-loads and fires one shot with each pull of the trigger. An automatic rifle self loads and fires from one to magazine capacity shots with each pull of the trigger at the shooter’s option.
    So, why would you think a semi-auto handgun would be any different?

  26. I think the confusion is caused by some people using the correct technical terminology i.e. semi auto = one shot per trigger pull while others use the traditional obsolete terminology and refer to pistols as automatics. Technically speaking, an automatic pistol is a small submachine gun ex Berretta 93R, Glock 18, Stechkin not what is commonly wrongly called automatics which are in fact semi-automatics Beretta 92, Glock 17, 1911, Browning HP etc.

    “Trudeau called ‘scumbag’ by protester
    Earlier in the day, Trudeau held a news conference in Winnipeg that was interrupted by a protester who called the prime minister a scumbag.
    The man carried a camcorder as he heckled Trudeau about the carbon tax while the prime minister answered other questions.
    Staff from the Prime Minister’s Office said the man gained entry to the event claiming to be a member of the “world alternative media” and security eventually led him out of the room without incident.
    “Shame on you and your globalist counterparts,” the man said. “You’re scumbags. You are an absolute scumbag.””

  29. Good. More people need to start protesting at Trudeau events. I think it would not take much for him to crumble. Probably why they are attempting to cut down on his Parliamentary “work load”. He will fall apart once he realizes the real world does not conform to his platitudes.

  30. If Trudeau has recited the prayer confirming he is a Muslim
    If Trudeau wants Fridays off

    Am I being islamophobic?

  31. The CBC and the Lieberals are trying their damnedest to muzzle the Senator who spoke out about the inconvenient truth of residential schools.
    http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/residential-school-system-well-intentioned-conservative-senator-1.4015115
    The senator is correct. Almost every successful aboriginal leader and businessperson came through the residential school system. There is far too much emphasis on the small percent who want to play victim for compensation instead of those who benefited from the useful education it gave them. The abuse was caused by the churches that administered the schools not the government, but the government is viewed as the best source for compensation money. It’s all about the money, as usual.
