  2. For those not aware, the BC election campaign is now underway. The choice is between Meh (BC Liberals), Bad (NDP) and Stupid (Greentards)
    Today, the NDP announced a bribe of $400 to each renter to vote for the marxists. This is in response, to a longterm program in BC called the Homeowner’s Grant, where homeowners can choose to accept a grant up to $450 off of their house taxes, yearly. The Dips have also promised $10/day daycare for yutes. Bribery, bribery, bribery
    Typical NDP, giving away money they dont have, and sadly, a lot of simpletons buy this and think its a wonderful idea.
    More updates to come. This election is about the devil we know (the centrist Libs, a coalition of Libs and conservatives) vs the commies and the watermelons

  6. I would add that the BC Liberals are the happy-faced socialists, generally pro-business, but fatally compromised libertarians (centrists). As bad as they are, they are preferable to the dour-faced socialist, anti-business, union brand, also watermelon, envy-resentment and hatred politicos of the NDP. Thankfully, the Green church police (too surreal for even the Monty Python script) party is in ascendancy thereby splitting the nut-bar vote, mostly peeled off from the NDP. Hopefully, Alberta is serving as a reminder for those with short memories of life under the incompetent, sophomoric, thoroughly PC, looters and thugs of the NDP. It’s such a low bar that the BC Liberals could run German Shepherds (more astute than some of their actual candidates) and they would still be better than the NDP.

  7. Living in BC these days is hard. Physically cannot vote ndp in any way shape or form. However, Christy CLarke of the BC liberals is a thoroughly awful person. Green party, are you kidding me? There is an independent in this riding who is going to get my vote.

    Veteran kills wife at California school after making threats
    The man who opened fire in a San Bernardino school was a deeply religious Navy veteran who accused his newlywed wife of infidelity.
    They had separated and when they did not reconcile, he went to her special-education classroom and fatally shot her and one of the children she taught before turning the gun on himself, police said Tuesday.
    In the weeks before Monday’s violence, Karen Smith told family members her new husband, Cedric Anderson, had tried to get her to return home and threatened her, San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said.
    …
    Anderson, a self-proclaimed pastor whose Facebook profile is filled with Bible quotes and religious references, had been unemployed but previously held jobs as a maintenance worker, police said.
    …
    Investigators who searched Anderson’s home after the shooting found a note that made reference to the relationship, feeling dishonored and “moving forward with no regrets,” Burguan said.

  20. John;
    Up here in the Kootenays it is pretty much all Dipper territory. Yes, the Dippers are into taking from their enemies and giving to their friends. Bottom line is this tactic is very appealing to more than 50% of the voters. Voters do not reject such ploys on a ethical basis and are quite willing to vote Dipper if their wallets benefit.
    As always the BC election will be decided in the Lower Mainland. My gut is telling me the Dippers will be successful. They would have won the last election except for Clark pulling the LNG rabbit out and the Dippers blowing their campaign by saying no to jobs. People are fundamentally scared of the future. That is why Turdeau and Trump were elected and likely why the Dippers will be also.
    Just as the CPC gutted their constituency orgs the provincial Liebels have no org in my area. Yet they call for volunteers and money. Sure I gave money but had to bite my tongue in the process. Unbelievable cynicism in the process by so many.

  21. “This is why the Oxford comma is necessary.”
    The normal reason is because one is literate.

  22. Two fundamental differences from last time that are very important thus time around.
    CC and her BCLs are only 3 pets behind in polling at the start. Last time, they were back 20 points. They are starting in a much stronger position.
    The Watermelons are much stronger this time too, which will bleed off significant Marxist votes splitting the left.
    Yes, voting BCL is an exercise in holding ones nose in the ballot box, but the alternatives are far worse, by a mile.
    For those unknowing, whenever the centre left coalition splits, the Marxists form government. It’s an uneasy alliance, but, allowing the Marxist SJWs to rule, as in Alberta, is always a disaster that doesn’t need explanation.
    The Watermelons are something to marvel. It’s really a religious cult disguised as a political movement. The same could be said for the NDP, with the wild eyed fervour one sees in many of their supporters

  23. Voting anything but BCL ( and holding your nose) gives you NDP government every time. Sad fact of reality in BC politics.
    It’s truly an art form here, finding the best alternative to keep the Marxists out of office

  25. CNN’s Jim Acosta accused President Donald Trump of undermining the First Amendment via criticisms of the news media industry. Joining a panel discussion at the Newseum entitled “Covering the Trump White House,” he blamed Trump for broad public distrust of the news media.

    Maybe if the MSM did not report such biased or fake news there would not be such distrust of the media by the public. Such as a CNN news hostess before the election openly calling for the media to do everything possible to defeat Trump. Forget her name, but saw and heard this at our doctor’s office. Yes, they have CNN on, and this is in Canada.

  26. John Galt: Your suggestion of sliding packages of bacon in with the halal foods would be amusing and satisfying but with all the CCTV surveillance everywhere now, you’d probably be charged with “hate crimes”.
    I don’t buy halal meat, and don’t even patronize (if I can help it) places that offer halal products.

  27. BC’s politics have always been bizzaro…and corrupt. Christy Clark fits the bill well.
    The 3 times the dips formed government there was a vote split. No vote split this time.
    It would be interesting for the AB dippers if their BC brothers win. They would face off over pipelines and resource development. The libs dropped the LNG ball. That ship sailed as the BC’ers argued among themselves on how to steal the money.

  28. The First Amendment right of ALL Americans is for a News (Press) that are “Independent” & Truthful
    The collusion between MSM Journalists has WEAPONIZED the media into a agenda driven enemy. We don’t have a variety of opinions/vision after the J-LIST violated Anti-Trust laws… The MEDIA declares itself the one and only fact finder, nonsense… The NYT & Wa-Po/CNN coordinate press coverage & a common theme of what they don’t report…
    It is the Media who have failed their First Amendment responsibility….

  42. The Conservatives in BC have tried to break out over the last few elections but they have a big problem coming up with conservative policies and a bigger one with an electorate that doesn’t want to give the NDP a couple of terms while the barely majority mushy middle congeal around the most prospective NDP alternative. IOW there aren’t enough actual conservatives in BC to fill BC Place so they are forced to represent the rump of the centrist coalition calling itself the BC Liberals. It’s really quite simple in BC, whoever / whatever can beat the NDP is what reasonable people have to vote for. Hold your nose, take a barf bag, feel guilty and stupid and vote for the BC Liberals. Encouraging the eco-theocrats to pull off NDP votes also helps.

  43. Politics in B. C. are like they are federally: whoever satisfies the voters in a specific geographical area wins the election. The rest of the province is of no consequence.
    After my dealings with the B. C. provincial government so far during the probating of my father’s will, I’ve become convinced that the best thing for B. C. would be to split into two provinces: Lotusland (the greater Vancouver area, Victoria, and much of the coast) and the rest.

  46. Rebel is about the only news agency in Canada doing serious investigative reporting. Think they will get a journalism award for their good work?

  47. Why should the US authorities do anything about it? It’s not their problem, it’s that asswhole Trudi’s problem, and if they can make a few bucks while giving him the finger, then why not? This is Trump’s retribution for Trudi’s Obama-loving govt. and the CBC being so outspokenly anti-Trump and anti-American.

  48. The Rebel is getting the best reward there is. It is being supported by people who want to hear their story. Send the Rebel some money – I do and conservatives who want to have a free press should as well.

  49. I DON’T USUALLY POST HERE, BUT WHEN I DO …
    Justin Trudeau” by Garry Harrison, Professor of British and Irish Literary Studies who lives in Canada
    Say what you will about Pierre Trudeau – and you may say many negative things about a man who deliberately chose to spend the Second World War sitting on the sidelines, who shilled for Red China while it murdered tens of millions of people, who was a life-long apologist for Soviet Communism, who began a relationship with a teenager when he was already an old man, who nearly spent Canada into bankruptcy, who tried to steal the wealth of the West and ruined a generation of Albertans, whose quest for personal glory nearly broke the Canadian federation, and who recklessly fathered a daughter when he was a septuagenarian and therefore left a little girl of nine without a father when he died – but it is beyond dispute that he was at least an intelligent man. It is true that he was also a cold, reckless, and destructive man, but there was definitely something there.
    Of Justin it may be said that he has managed to inherit all of the flaws of his father – his recklessness, his arrogance, his willingness to apologize to and appease enemies of our civilization, and his almost-unique ability to be wrong about every issue of significance. Whether or not he inherited the other qualities of his parents – that is to say whether his personal life is as dissolute and debauched as that of his father – is not currently a matter of public record, but I imagine that it will be soon enough.
    However, it can be said with certainty that J. Trudeau did not inherit his father’s sole virtue: everything that is already in the public record suggests that Justin Trudeau is a profoundly stupid man whose only qualification to be Prime Minister is that he has a famous name. That he should, at this particular juncture in history, be elected Prime Minister of Canada ought to shame all Canadians.
    What, pray tell, has this man ever accomplished in his entire life? His biography is available for all to read. Young Master Trudeau, so far as I can tell, has never held anything resembling a real job for any length of time. His biography describes him as having been a teacher, but he was still a substitute teacher at least as late as 1999 (he worked at my High School) and he appears to have begun a never-completed graduate degree in 2002. Before that – when he was already in his mid-twenties – he was a ski bum in Whistler. In other words, this Prime Minister appears to have – at the absolute most – had about three years of full-time work experience before seeking to lead the nation.
    This man never led anything in his entire life. Quite literally he doesn’t have the requisite experience on his resume to be hired as the Manager of a Starbucks. Indeed, to be very clear, the last sentence wasn’t intended to be at all insulting to anyone who either manages or works for Starbucks – I’m a frequent customer and it is, by all accounts – a very challenging job. But, surely, we can all agree that Prime Minister is a job that requires at least the same level of previous management experience as Starbucks management?
    Consider all that you have achieved in your own life. Most of you, I presume, are from background rather like myself. That is to say that you are from middle class families and had to earn your way through life. You had to work to pay your way through school. You had to worry about paying the rent, about saving money for a down payment, about how much of a mortgage that you could afford. Most of you have probably worked bad jobs or taken work beneath your education and dignity because we simply needed the money. Some of you probably missed out on having fun – on ski trips to pick one relevant example – either because you could not afford them or because you simply had to work. That, you and I probably both believe, is simply a natural part of life. All of that is quite foreign to Justin Trudeau.
    Now, I am both a conservative and a capitalist. I do not begrudge or resent great wealth and privilege in and of itself. One of the primary aims of my own life is to eventually earn (and manage to keep, in the face of a rapacious state) enough so that the next generation of Yoshida’s doesn’t have to make compromises when it comes to fundamental life decisions for financial reasons. I think that people have a right to earn as much as they can and to pass that along to their children. But, as the children of privilege get to enjoy certain advantages in life, so do I believe that those to whom much is given have a profound moral responsibility to contribute to the world in some fashion exchange for all that they have been given in life.
    And what, we ought to inquire, has J. Trudeau done with his life and privileges? His accomplishments such as they are – eternal years as a student, two partially-completed Masters’ degrees, and perhaps a few years of work experience – are scant when compared with those of the average middle-class Canadian of modest means and background. I could literally walk down the street outside of my home and pick out a hundred random people with more work experience, education, and life experience than J. Trudeau has. When you consider that this man is the child of a multi-millionaire and carries arguably the most famous name in Canada, his below-average record is particularly shameful. This man had every single advantage that it is possible for a young Canadian to have and that is all that he could do with his life?
    In general, I view the idle rich to be more objects of pity than ones deserving of hatred. That calculation, however, changes rather rapidly when they aspire, as J. Trudeau does, to translate that unearned privilege into power over the rest of us. If “Justin Trudeau” were instead “Justin Thompson” it’s pretty safe to assume that he’d be collecting EI and writing a screenplay on a battered laptop at some local coffee shop. The only reason why we are threatened with this man in 24 Sussex is that he carries a famous surname. It is the greatest of ironies that so much of the support for this particular man came from the sort of people who spend the rest of their time re-blogging articles on “white privilege.”
    Now, as Canada prepares to join the fight against ISIS and the other Islamic barbarians who threaten our people and way of life, we see that J. Trudeau intends to use his unearned privileges to carry on his father’s tradition of serving an apologist for and appeaser of all of the enemies of our civilization. In this he is, most regrettably, simply carrying on in the long tradition of a Quebec political establishment whose behavior in the face of our enemies has long been disgraceful and immoral. Just as the Quebec political establishment took seditious and at times almost traitorous positions in the face of the German threat in both World Wars (shameful episodes that are somehow generally hushed-up in the retelling of our history), today J. Trudeau is, as his father once was, on the other side in the great crusade for civilization.
    Justin Trudeau in 24 Sussex – will likely be fatal for the Canadian Federation. How long do you think, in this day and age, will the Western Provinces remain willing to accept the dictates of a Quebec-controlled government hostile to the very basis of its entire economy? This child doesn’t have the political skills or the experience to navigate such a potentially-perilous situation, for not only is he unfit to lead the nation, but he is also an unworthy successor to his predecessors as Leader of the Liberal Party who, for all of their many faults, were at least men of accomplishment and substance.
    If you believe in individual merit – if you believe that we should have a country where accomplishments matter more than your name – then we should have rejected this haughty and arrogant child who would presume to rule over us all.
    So who is running the country?
