  2. I have to agree there a lot fewer contributions to Blogging Tories. Either people have to concentrate on earning a living or blogs are not the media people use anymore. Hope it doesn’t die as some days this is the only source of reality as so many people have drunk the liberal or socialist koolaid.

  7. Holy crap B.A. !!! You’ve managed to increase my blood pressure by 20 points !!! Every one of these stories turns my stomach. Damn !! We are in the middle of a culture War … or more like a culture coup.

  8. It has long been evident that Obama is a narcissist to a pathological degree. It is apparently related to psychosis – narcissistic personality disorder.

  10. I missed Ottawa’s celebration so didn’t know what Trudeau said until I read Mark Steyn’s post today “Bollard of the Mind” (https://www.steynonline.com/7959/bollards-of-the-mind)
    In it he mentions, JT’s speech and I found I had tears in my eyes when I read what PM Turdeau said. How could that busterd say that! Let me repeat that: HOW COULD HE!
    Quoting Steyn:
    I still can’t get over quite what a bust Justin Trudeau’s Liberals made of Canada’s sesquicentennial. But, if you’ve ever tried, you’ll know it’s hard to organize a milestone birthday party for someone you despise, and evidently that goes for countries, too. As Bono told the crowd, “”Whether you have just arrived from Syria or your roots go back thousands of years, this is your home” – which contrast conveniently omits all the people in between, who happen to be the fellows who built the country and quite like it, or at any rate more than the chaps with the ten-thousand-year roots over at that teepee who were raising clenched fists during the singing of “O Canada” and “God Save the Queen”.
    If Bono’s toast was a sin of omission, Justin was more explicit, declaring that the more Canadian you are the less Canadian you are – at least when compared to a nice Syrian lad fleeing the Trump terror and asking where the Niagara Falls welfare office express check-in is. Sure, all those Gordies and Dereks may think they love their country but they don’t love it as much as you Ahmeds and Omars do:
    “No!” Trudeau continued. “You chose this country. This is your country more than it is for others because we take it for granted.”

  11. Why not more security lines etc. etc??
    Justin was much too busy planning his trip to Europe (he left today–too bad he doesn’t stay over there.
    The highlight of the news at noon is that he’s going to meet the new Irish prime minister who is openly gay! Now isn’t that exciting!!
    Sophie better be on the lookout for telltale signs!!

  13. As I pointed out to someone earlier today, this was an Islamic victory, they didn’t need to actually do anything and the whole city and hundreds and thousands of people were put through the wringer.

  14. Justin was more explicit, declaring that the more Canadian you are the less Canadian you are
    I resent his comments. I’m a naturalized citizen, I grew up in this country, and I swore my allegiance to Her Canadian Majesty when I was a contractor at a certain government facility.
    But, then, what does one expect from a PM who despises this country and doesn’t know if he should, as the saying goes, “lead, follow, or get out of the way”?

  16. “No!” Trudeau continued. “You chose this country. This is your country more than it is for others because we take it for granted.”
    Who is this OUI you speak of, Zoolander?
    Are you referring to red diaper trust fund babies born with a silver spoon sticking out of their ungrateful orifice?
    No, prolly not. Undoubtedly the “we” you are speaking of are card carrying members of the Liberal Party of Canada.
    It sure as shootin’ ain’t Albertans, who pay more to be Canadians than any others, that have it so good that we take Canada for granted.
    In fact it’s the case that you, the LPC, and it’s whole constituency take Alberta for granted which is why you left Alberta out of your speech.

  17. O.M.G. !!! Notice how the headline uses the benign word … “compensation” … granted by the Trudeau Govt. Yeah … $$$ TEN MILLION $$$ dollars in “compensation”. So this is your boy-PM’s version of Obama’s airlift of $$$ Billions in unmarked cash to Iran (in the dead of night). Trudeau should be impeached … do you Canadians have such a procedure ?
    Thanks … I just had to take another 40mg of Lisinopril …

  18. if the rest of the world did not fish off NFLD you might have a point.

  19. “Environmental And Climatic Alarmism Demand Accountability
    Guest Blogger / July 12, 2015
    Guest Opinion: Dr. Tim Ball”
    “Cod numbers declined, and they blamed humans.
    Overfishing is a small part of the problem because quotas are set with little knowledge of the natural variation in stock numbers. The best study of variations in fish populations and climate by Klyashtorin and Lyubukshin is virtually unknown outside of Russia.
    If you assume populations are relatively constant then a natural decline makes fishing harmful at a certain level.
    The Canadian government effectively banned cod fishing in 1992. For comparison imagine the US government banning corn production in Iowa. It is 23 years since the ban and although some very limited fishing occurred Fisheries and Oceans report,
    Cod populations remain depleted, and the reasons remain disputed.
    They finally acknowledged what Roger and I knew from the start.
    When water temperatures in many Atlantic areas cooled in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s that was part of a wider change in the ecosystem. Cod live within a narrow range of temperatures. If their habitual waters get too warm or cold, they can migrate till they find a comfortable zone. But will they find, for example, the right levels of oxygen? And, if broad environmental changes are taking place, what’s happening to their food?
    Animals migrate when the food supply changes. Fish have greater options because they move in three dimensions. The cod moved away from the waters around Newfoundland, but where did the cod go? They migrated into warmer international waters, where Europeans continued to fish them. The question was why weren’t Canadian fishermen allowed to fish in international waters? I understand a secret [pact] with Europe kept them from Canadian waters and Canadians from international waters. They also migrated to shallower warmer inshore waters where they were already off limits to Canadian fishermen because of government regulation. In 1996, I stood on the dock at Fortune Harbour in northern Newfoundland with an 84-year-old fisherman. He told me cod were more plentiful and larger than he could recall in the bay, but he was banned from catching even two to feed his family because of regulations from Ottawa. As a result of the ban, many of the historic fishing ports surrounding Newfoundland and Labrador were abandoned. I urge you to watch this documentary of how the people see what happened to them. The great irony of the story is that oil drilling at Hibernia on the Grand Banks saved the Newfoundland economy, but as the songs relate, this only masked the real damage.”

  20. The rant by Dr. Tim Ball above is typical of what is wrong in science.
    CLAIM: Ball claims that a cooling Atlantic in the 1980s was responsible for the collapse of the Cod Fishery.
    FACT: The NL cod fishery had been ongoing since the discovery of massive fish stocks off the Grand Banks in the 1400s. For the next 500 years fishermen from many countries shared in this bounty using a simple technique of jigging (hook and line one cod at a time). Until the 1950s most fishing boats had limited capacity. This and the high level of human effort required to fill the boat with cod, limited overall fishing levels and kept the cod plentiful.
    But then two things happened. Long-lining (a line with several hooks) and gill netting made the cod much easier to catch. This led to bigger boats and the quotas were expanded, reaching a peak in 1968 when 800,000 tonnes were landed. But by 1975 (less than 10 years later) the annual catch had fallen by over 60% and scientists knew the cod population was in trouble.
    It took almost 20 years before the government closed down the cod fishery in 1992.
    SUMMARY: The cod fishery was successful for over 500 years until the introduction of modern fishing techniques in the late 1950s that dramatically increased the catch. It took less than 10 years to decimate the entire Atlantic cod fishery. The worst offenders were the Newfoundlanders who fished in the most productive part of the fishery – the Grand Banks, which was also the major spawning ground of the cod.
    Over-fishing, over-hunting and loss of habitat are the main reasons for species loss. It is scientifically unreasonable that the cod prospered despite the fishery for over 500 years and in 10 short years were fished to near extinction (1965-1975) because of cooling waters, a full 14 years before Dr. Tim Ball noticed the waters in the Atlantic had started cooling in 1989.
