Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Another Major League Baseball All Star Game; another embarassing rendition of our national anthem. I think she may have toked some Trudeau tobacco.

“Indigenous women’s group pulls support from missing and murdered inquiry as commissioner resigns
The success of the inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women is at risk with the sudden resignation of one of the five commissioners and the decision of a leading First Nations women’s group to withdraw its support for the process.
The turmoil, and complaints that the commission has neglected the families of those who have lost loved ones, is fuelling a lack of confidence in the inquiry the federal Liberal government created to find out why so many Indigenous women become victims of violence.”

From Comments: “Another albatross for the Libs to wear on their skinny necks in 2019.”
What is wrong with that rendition of Canada’s anthem? While the nervous giggle was out of place, she does the words in order and carries the tune so overall I didn’t think her take on it was all that bad.

It’s about time that ice shelf broke off. They have been predicting its imminent collapse for about 5 years now. Anyway why can’t they give us the volume of the iceberg in Olympic-sized swimming pools? That’s what we have become accustomed to.
Was Veselnitskaya a Democrat plant? Her office in Moscow may be a shell. There is no working phone, email or website. Veselnitskaya was also connected to Fusion GPS, the DNC opposition research firm that produced the fraudulent and discredited Trump Dossier.

The left does its work well in its bid to control the nation and it appears that the right are babes in the woods in fighting back. This is the same in Canada.
Interesting. So if the democrats have been painting a trail of evidence leading Trump to Russia why would they wait so long to release this?
It is almost as if the dems are on a schedule to trot out this stuff or used to deflect from other explosive issues, for example now that Comie has been caught out with security leaks. Of course, the media goes along with this and plays its part.
I suppose it could be part of a plan to keep negativity in the press all the way until the mid-terms but given the zeal to nail Trump it’s hard to imagine them having that kind of restraint.
Sure, aside from being off key, off cadence and at times unintelligble, her version was fine even with the giggle. She came across like a 14 year old who just learned the words and melody yesterday. After last year’s fiasco, we deserved better.

“Turkey Retreats From Paris Climate Treaty…
Turkey’s President Recep Erdogan admits the only reason for being in the Paris Climate Treaty was to get money from the U.S. and other more wealthy nations. Now that the U.S. has pulled out of the treaty, there’s no reason to expect the financial benefits.
Proving yet again, for the eleventyth time, that the entire construct of the Paris Climate Treaty had nothing to do with the actual climate (ie. weather), and everything to do with economic wealth distribution.”

Here at SDA, one thing I’ve noticed over the years, is that when it comes down to opinions about music there is never a right or wrong answer. Creepy and I don’t mind what she did with the anthem; you don’t.
Oops. Was called away and didn’t finish.
I was replying to TimR and didn’t finish my sentence.
This is not some pop song that the singer is free to interpret however they like. The reviews on the internet are all critical. This is the national anthem that belongs to all Canadians and should be treated with respect. Otherwise why do we bother to stand when it is being performed?
Anyway, she probably got her wish. Nobody had ever heard of her before last night.
I wasn’t going to comment…. cause it wasn’t the first lame rendition of our anthem and it certainly won’t be the last.
But, I would like to thank TimR for caring enough about our national anthem to defend it here, a fresh breathe of air considering all those I have recently read on this site claiming to now be ashamed of Canada. A sad reaction to what is strictly Liberal Party malfeasance.
nold, here is my take on musical taste…
You don’t really get to choose which music you enjoy, it chooses you!

“Swiss Daily: “Record Cold July In Greenland”…Alarmists “Struggling To Explain” As Arctic Island Cools
We have all heard about the record-breaking ice mass balance and cold temperature reading of -33°C recently set in Greenland — the Arctic island that is supposedly the canary in the climate coal mine.
It turns out that things up there are colder than we may be led to believe and that the alleged warming there is fiction.”

So, now Breitbart themselves are championing VERY FAKES NEWS. But, it’s OK, cause they left clues that it wasn’t real.
Glad to know I am not the only one disgusted by the sleazy, overtly lying click bait that infests virtually every news site that I rely on. It’s hard for me to trust any source that deliberately blends ads right in with legit stories to fool readers, and that is EXACTLY what they do. But, this is a new level of trickery…
**SPONSORED CONTENT** I Typed in My Name and the Results Had Me Speechless
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/07/12/sponsored-content-typed-name-results-speechless/
Sure, it says “sponsored content”, but that is soooo easily mistaken for the topic of the article. Based on the harshly negative comments(Yup, an ad so disguised as an article that you can leave comments), hopefully BB will never try this underhanded bullshit again.
‘it wasn’t the first lame rendition of our anthem and it certainly won’t be the last’
You got that part right. When a singer has the words down and more or less holds the tune I rate that a pass and speaking of off-key Bob Dylan and Neil Diamond sang off-key their whole careers and it never hurt their popularity.

Viewed the video,she is bloody awful!
But, nowhere near the worst! Remember the guy in Vegas when the CFL expanded there ,who sang “O Canada” to the tune of “Oh Christmas Tree”?
One of my favorites of all time.
There was never,imho, a better anthem singer of any anthem than Montreal’s Roger Doucette,the opera singer who could belt out an anthem like nobody else.That Cop at the Ottawa Senators games was pretty good too.
Were I rich,in the spirit of sh** disturbing,would pay well for any singer on a national TV broadcast to sing,”O Canada, our home on Native land”.

Bridget Tolley, who has spent 16 years searching for answers in the death of her mother Gladys, said she was about to meet with members of the inquiry at a Toronto hotel when she learned Marilyn Poitras — one of five commissioners named last summer by the Liberal government — resigned from her position.”

Another Major League Baseball All Star Game; another embarassing rendition of our national anthem. I think she may have toked some Trudeau tobacco.
It wasn’t as bad as Roseanne Barr’s rendition of The Star-spangled Banner in which, as I remember, she shrieked some of the lyrics, or Denise Richards’ version of Take Me Out to the Ball Game, which was largely off-key.
Looks like the Russian lawyer/Trump Jr. thing is unravelling. She has all kinds of democratic ties and now this…

Actually, there were really good singers in both Edmonton and Calgary who totally respected the anthems they sung. This one was toooo painful – off tune and just excruciating even without the giggle. However, does anyone remember the 1992 World Series when the U S military paraded the Canadian flag upside down? I always thought Canada’s response should have been to have the next parade on Canadian soil carried out by the Scouts and Guides, doing it correctly.
So I heard some ‘science’ commentator on the Telly say that the ice shelf weighed 6-trillion pounds. Floating on the seas … the rough Antarctic seas … heaving up and down, up and down, up and down on the tides and storms. And how much LARGER could the ice shelf grow before it snapped free ? The ‘science’ reporter wasn’t curious enough to ask the question.
And yet these same ‘science’ reporters repeat the lie of global warming having … caused … or accelerated … or doomed the ice shelf. Science by innuendo. Science by “opinion”. Not science at all. Just lies. Just “statistical projections” pretending to be “science”
