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."

If by Nazi you mean someone prepared to stand up for themselves when the communists threaten genocide, I’ll stand with the Nazis.
“If…then” statements create a false dichotomy and are favorite tools of oppressors.
No real American will choose either Nazism or Communism; he will choose freedom.
Ha, Kate, you have made a classic! As soon as I saw the Antifa facing off with the Nazi flag carriers, I thought to myself “if only there could be an asteroid strike.”
Most Americans will choose to sit on the sidelines and watch the Communists and Nazis fight it out. That would be the real problem.
I don’t think the Nazis are nazis. For a start the Nazis existed for one time in history, and don’t exist anymore. They get labelled as nazis because they are nationalists (they are not German socialist workers), and as far as the communists are concerned anyone who is not a communist is a Nazi. When the communists are rounding up dissenters and shipping them of the the GULAG, arguing that you aren’t a Nazi, but a liberal democrat will do you no good.
I have no idea what their economic or monetary policies are and at this point they don’t really matter. If the communists manage to get their way there will be no going back. If the nationalists manage to ensure the survival of the nation we can argue about economic policy in the future.
As an Eagles fan, this weekend’s events remind me of how I feel when the Cowboys play the Giants. Can’t they both lose?
The left’s name for conservative is Nazi. In Charlottesville, a peaceful march that was defending against anti-white racism was attacked by communists that came with helmets, clubs, and shields. The dead women is responsible for her own death because her intention was to see people beaten, just as likely to death. The police are also responsible for the escalation because they refused to get involved in protecting perceived racists. Interesting how the media blames the whities for the violence when the commies came prepared and started it.
I don’t think anyone can think that the statue of R.E. Lee was not “bait” for FOOLS… The State of Virginia is run by the Governor who is a Democrat gangster.. The Alt right, Clan, ETC entered the twilight Zone when they demonstrated in Virginia, which insured they had everything to lose.. If Virginia had FIRST defaced, or taken down R.E Lee the Clan would have grown exponentially. an all out racial WAR would be the News Today.
They destroyed themselves by acting prematurely. Most likely leadership was bought-off to play-out this drama.. The CNN coverage & pre-planned Antifa/BLM counter demonstrators created the perfect storm for Hollywood…
The Democrat & Republican Establishment goal is to demonize Trump…The participants, including MSM, are just useless fools…
Sid Vicious, You are an egg-L fan… indeed

Your second comment was a better explanation than your first comment.
The events in Charlotteville remind me of the events leading to the Bela Kun communist regime in Hungary in 1919 and to the brawls between the communists and Nazis during the 1918-1933 Weimar period in Germany.
Everybody needs to remember that to the Soros/Alinskyites faction anyone not a part of their various communist splinter groups is considered a fascist (Nazi). The tern “Antifa” was used during the 1920s in Germany.
It is disheartening to see the media focusing on and emphasizing all aspects of the “alt-right” and lumping anyone right 0f center with groups like went to Charlotteville, but minimizing anything to do with the BLM/Antifa/anarchist riots.
So when a leftie blurts out “racist”, the response should be “traitor”.
Slap Shot – they’re called “Tha Iggz” here in South Jeresy.
As I understand it the Unite the Right had a legitimate permit to assemble to demonstrate their opposition to the city fathers intention to re-write history by removing the statue of Lee. This had already been done in a number of Southern States. The very park where the statue is located was Lee Park before it was renamed Emancipation Park. The so-called Antifa and BLM groups assembled in opposition to a legitimate protest with the sole intent of shutting down the protest by any means. This has been effective in the past, witness the Berkeley riots and indeed the riot in Toronto. The ineffectiveness of the Charlottesville law enforcement, and indeed the granting of a permit for a counter protest if any had been issued is a matter of incompetence with criminal intent on the part of the city councilors. As I stated in another post last night “First they tear down the statues, then they tear down the statutes.” When the right to peaceful assembly is removed then democracy is lost, and we are seeing a portent of Orwell’s future in what is taking place today in both America and Canada. The Canadian media on the West Coast, like the American media is calling the legitimate demonstration organizers a ‘white nationalist’ group rather than a Unite the Right organization.
As I’ve said here on a number of occasions the left have no boundaries of engagement while we are still stumbling along under the Marquis of Queensbury rules. Democrats and by extension Liberals are nothing more than Nazis camouflaged in clown costumes and are engaged in subverting all that Western society is and has been.
I read that the Confederate statues weren’t being destroyed, but simply moved from the towns square to the outskirts of the metro area. I actually support that move. It seems quite consistent with the intended and unintended social engineering the leftists have wrought upon the cities. As the cities become more densely packed with “protected” groups; homeless getting shelters, intravenous drug users receiving free needles, LGBTQADAYADDA, illegal aliens receive sanctuary, and INTIFA groups receive police “protection”(inaction) … the whites (and smart people ovvvv cullller) have FLED the city enters. Let the city centers ROT from within. ROT from their alphabet stew of freaks, geeks, and losers (ovvvv ALL culllers). Please DO send proud symbols of the Rebel South to the Suburbs and Country. Please DO “sanitize” the inner city from Rebel History. Whatever it takes to make your freak stew feeeeel cummmmfertable. Because MY PEOPLE have fled. While I have no “Deep South” roots whatsoever, I defend their right to celebrate their own history. I am happy to host their symbols out here in Suburbia and beyond.
However, if you want violence? Just TRY to weaponize HUD to force the Suburbs to houze your “low-income” dead wood, er – residents. We will take your statues … but you can KEEP your rabble to yourselves. Because your rabble are violent. And if they come to the hinterlands … they won’t enjoy the police protection given them by the inner city politicians … and we’re all ARMED out here.

So weird.
“However, if you want violence? Just TRY to weaponize HUD to force the Suburbs to houze your “low-income” dead wood, er – residents.”
Ferguson, Missouri. 90% white became 67 % welfare project black. How did that go? They lost the lottery. Probably can’t sell fast enough.
When The Communists Show Up To Protest The Nazis
By Kate on August 14, 2017 7:06 AM | 15 Comments
Don’t pick a favourite.
Because it’s already been chosen for you.
This may be overly cynical but I think the political class and crony capitalists (and the useful idiot academics) are fomenting the racial and gender divide to save their own asses. The Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street after 2008 bailout scared the shit out of them.
It appears as though the dead woman is well on her way to sainthood … right up there with Rachael Corrie. She has been uniformly described as a “strong” woman who had a “heart” for the downtrodden, and fought against “injustice” everywhere. She is described as a “paralegal” … hmmm … I wonder what Government-subsidized eco-firm she typed-for ? I would like to READ her online writings (none of which appear to have been “outed”). I suspect her tone and content was anything BUT “peaceful”. Did she deserve to DIE by such a brutal means ? Of course not. But neither does she deserve sainthood. Honesty, and transparency is the best path to take.
Just watching Trump on TV right now, siding with the “Communists”: http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/14/politics/trump-charlottesville-latest/index.html
SDA: as usual, on the wrong side of history.
SDA “don’t pick a fovourite”
Eli- “SDA: as usual, on the wrong side of history.”
Pretty cool how leftards show up to prove their side is a lie.
Well done.
Several points.
1. The demonstrators had a legal permit. The counter protestors did not, and they were the ones who started the violence.
2. Nothing justifies the counter violence that caused a death. The demonstrators did not act like committed conservatives. We should seriously investigate where their funding came from. I won’t be surprised if Soros is behind both sides and just wants to orchestrate violence, at which he has succeeded.
3. For philosophical reasons I object to both white supremacists and black supremacists (like BLM). And for very good personal reasons since I am neither white nor black.
4. Robert E. Lee was a great man of principle. He could have been commanding the Union army, instead of just the Virginia militia at the start of the Civil War. But he thought his primary allegiance was to Virginia, since the Union was dissolving. It was less than a hundred years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, and most people still gave their loyalty to the state, and to the Union because of the state. Also you will not read this from your text books. Robert E. Lee did not fight for the South to preserve slavery. Before the civil war, he had freed his own slaves as a matter of conscience. In contrast, Grant, who commanded the Union army, owned slaves. The Commonwealth of Virginia should be proud to have such a great man in her history. Protesting desecration of his statue by itself is definitely not a racist act, whatever the demonstration escalated to later.
Especially since Trump condemned all sides.
Here’s a hint, Commies. If this keeps escalating the side with the better weapons and training is going to win. Beanpole vegans and overweight cat ladies are not going to cut it.
National Socialist German Workers Party. Full title in English for the Nazi Party. It is interesting to note the German words that approximate English in the actual title. Curiously enough, of the so called “Nazi activists , I doubt whether any can speak German. I doubt whether they have been to Germany in most cases. The Nazi Party was outlawed in 1945. A pretty handy smear word however.
I note CTV briefly showed a picture of Adolf Hitler with a swastika armband. This while showing pictures of the tragic car death and collision in Virginia.
A field day for CBC and CTV. Revelling in the whole business, but quite clever in disguising this.
By Nazi I always mean another variant of socialist but essentially the same sort of a-hole that demands everybody go along with their way because they are afraid otherwise that they may be shown to be wrong.
As was said, “Don’t pick a favourite.” To elaborate: Provide enough assistance, discreetly, to either or both to maximize the damage they do each other, and remain prepared to put down the survivors if they won’t leave you alone.
Well, what did people expect? A whole class of people, younger white males, has been denigrated and told they have no place in society, and to get in line behind the women, blacks, Muslims, Mexicans, LGBT and whatever the flavour of the week is. As Yay said above “If this keeps escalating the side with the better weapons and training is going to win.” Many of these white supremacists are ex-military. This is not going to end well.
The media have been too busy virtue-signaling for their coverage to have much value. For example, in Monday’s Globe and Mail:
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/eruption-of-anger-violence-in-virginia-divides-the-us/article35980392/
“On Saturday, [President Trump] spoke only of ‘violence on many sides’ – appearing to equate the actions of anti-racism activists and neo-Nazis.”
If you go by their history, they should be equated. No one died at Berkeley in the anti-Milo riot but a lot of damage was done. The left has a long history of physical violence against anyone it disagrees with – whom it is always pleased to label “racist” or “fascist” or even “neo-Nazi” – with or (usually) without justification. The leftists who torched the university probably didn’t care if someone had died.
CNN, perhaps among others, dug up some pastor who posted a video or a written piece (I haven’t seen it) which labelled the whole thing “racist” – as if we’re all supposed to recoil in horror and fall into line like it’s some massive great revelation about something that hadn’t occurred to us. Of course the racist right is racist. But the left has been calling anything and everything under the Sun “racist” for so long that we just become bored with it. What do you think “micro-aggressions” are about?
The governor of Virginia has been biased in his comments. However, I don’t disagree with his use of the word “terrorist” to describe the car driver, as it’s consistent with the usage for similar attacks in London, Nice and elsewhere.
So the reported neo-nazis, who are too stupid to realise the nazis were socialists, vrs antifa, fascists too stupid to realise that they are the fascists. No humans involved.
Captcha Toilet calle
They are not branded Nazis because they are socialists. They are branded that because they are nationalists. They probably don’t even have an economic plan.
Thanks Ken [kulak] couldn’t agree with you more, have been muttering about this since the phoney fracas this weekend:
“It is disheartening to see the media focusing on and emphasizing all aspects of the “alt-right” and lumping anyone right 0f center with groups like went to Charlotteville, but minimizing anything to do with the BLM/Antifa/anarchist riots.”
Toronto Star, Sunday, Aug. 13. Shree Paradkar, who “writes about discrimination and identity”. In other words, she seems to be “a person who can’t change [her] mind and won’t change the subject” – the definition of fanatic, according to Winston Churchill.
https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2017/08/12/the-many-sides-of-injustice-in-charlottesville-riot-paradkar.html
“Which sides would those be, Mr. President, when there were just two: white supremacy — and equality.”
False. There are extremists on both sides. The left’s extremists are not racist – which is the correct position on that issue – but “equality” is a diversion. The left is potentially just as nasty, as historical and current events have proven.
“Take a moment to think about what these people were protesting as they marched through the University of Virginia campus Friday night carrying torches and breaking into fisticuffs.”
They can’t break into fisticuffs by themselves. The “counter-protesters” had a hand in that too – as they always do.
“And again, whey they showed up Saturday morning, waving Confederate and Nazi flags, carrying semi-automatic weapons, helmets, spears and shields, throwing punches, water bottles and spraying chemicals.”
The only instances of spraying chemicals I’ve heard have come from the “counter-protesters” with their cans of mace. I don’t doubt that there were punches thrown from both sides.
“These savage people were not protesting white lives lost to police brutality. They were not protesting disproportionate incarceration of white people, or stricter sentencing than people of other races, or being denied housing or education for the colour of their skin. They were not protesting any of that because it is not their reality.”
“They were not protesting. Period. They were rioting.”
False. The protest against the statue removal, for which a permit had been granted, was not in and of itself a “riot”. Where were you on the anti-Milo Berkeley torching, which really was a riot?
“Jason Kessler, a right-wing blogger, told media the protests were also about free speech and ‘advocating for white people.'”
Two points. One, this “right-wing” person should be distinguished from libertarians and the like. If anything, since the racist right is just as collectivist as the communist left, both are on the same wavelength, and only the hatreds (“race” versus “class”) are different.
“This, they believed, entitled them to chant things such as ‘White power,’ ‘White Lives Matter,’ ‘You will not replace us’ and ‘Jew will not replace us.'”
Point two, free speech includes “advocating for white people”. By all means continue to criticize it, and to expose racism and anti-Semitism. But if you continue to pretend that the other side is completely virtuous, you will only look foolish by people who know the truth.
“It was a mind-boggling show of white fragility, by people threatened not because their rights are being trampled by any measurable means but because a few voices of those they historically oppressed are starting to be heard again.”
The voices of the “historically oppressed” have been heard for quite a few decades now, and much improvement has been made. It is pointless to deny this.
“Why is the driver of the car that plowed into people not being called a terrorist?”
He was, at least by the governor, which is consistent with usage of the term in London, Nice, etc.
“The flags they were waving signify death and devastation to significant groups of Americans. Yet, they were allowed because, democracy. Would these democratic rights be granted to anyone wanting to wave the equally reprehensible Daesh (ISIS) flags?”
Probably. Let the enemy identify himself. Or would you not allow the hammer and sickle flag, a common sight at leftist marches, but which is just as reprehensible?
Speaking of Shree Paradkar, look at what she said last Thursday, Aug. 10 on the “Goolag” issue:
https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2017/08/10/google-manifesto-writer-should-not-have-been-fired-paradkar.html
“Damore, whom we will be hearing more about in the coming days as the newest face of white supremacy …”
Really, white supremacy?
I suppose that when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail; and when all you know is the narrow field of “anti-racism”, everything looks like racism.
However, as you can tell from the article’s title, she suggested that he need not have been fired:
“There was another option. Google could have made Damore work in an all-women’s team with only female bosses, letting him stick out like a sore thumb, torn from his clique, unable to use ‘female’ skills of collaboration because — biology just made him that way.”
That’s not the worst suggestion I’ve ever read. The company can do that, if it wants. I’ve had female bosses, without problems.
“Well, what did people expect? A whole class of people, younger white males, has been denigrated and told they have no place in society,…”
Exactly. There have been tons of articles over the years and even a university study published last year (sorry, no link) about the danger of all 30 year old males in their mom’s basement.
I am reminded more with every riot by the left that occurs of the events in Germany under the Wiemar Republic. The events in Charlottesville will not be the last. George Soros has sown a whirlwind.
I never understood why childless cat ladies even give a sh….
there is only one person to blame for the unrest in the USA. Barrack Obama spent the lst eight years telling blacks they were being mistreated. As a result we have black lives matter and all the other spin offs from his reign of terror. Ordinary people are tired of being called racist and bigots by these lefties.
interesting Mack was the only one who mentioned freedom. All of the isms mentioned curtain individual freedom. I think in any fight I will back those who stand for individual freedom. Call me what you wish but don’t try to enslave me with any doctrine.
Has amy commentator here actually seen the film footage of the “alt right” marchers on the campus in Charlottesville. Very reminiscent of the Nazi brownshirts. And the students just quietly holding up signs. Yes, Antifa and the other violent lefties caused some of the violence. But there are limits to free speech. It should not include marching in the streets with torches shouting fascist, racist and anti-semitic slogans. There were hundreds of peaceful protesters. The Antifa anarchists were a small minority. The car hit and run is domestic terrorism for which should be a capital offence. I agree that the Hammer and Sickle is just as offensive as the Swastika. But don’t insult everyones’ intelligence by calling all those protesters communists. Trummp is the absolute worst thing to befall that country. Pray for impeachment! Except there is one good thing – I think Kim Jung Un realizes that Trump really is crazy and figures holy crap, I better back off!
