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."

Trudeau held a town hall meeting in Hamilton. Trudeau has to answer an embarrassing question from Tim Gavin, a Hamilton resident.
Watch him ”not answer” the question.

Trump surprises with decision to attend Davos economic forum
Mr Trump – who ran for president on a nationalist “America First” platform – will mingle at the annual Alpine festival of globalism in Switzerland, and perhaps offer a few views of his own, the White House said.
No wonder he gets a standing ovation — the audience is all under 25. These performances are so manipulative. I want someone to ask who is running the country while Trudeau engages in these PR stunts. Maybe the media should ask that. I suspect he chooses venues where young people will be so he can avoid hard questions. Looks like NAFTA is about to fall apart. Let’s ask him about that. I cannot believe how many Canadians are taken in by these carefully orchestrated stunts. What we have is the PM drumming up support for the Liberal party on the taxpayer’s dime.
Strad you are conflating .
The biblical reference between god and money….
What trump is doing is maybe good maybe bad he is also maybe serving the American people by increasing exported products maybe even American influence into other parts of the world.
So much for the middle class and those working hard to join it
According to data published by Vancouver’s Fraser Institute in a year-end analysis, “81% of middle-class families in Canada are paying higher federal income taxes” under the Liberals than under the Harper Tories.
And the increase under the Liberals has been substantial, too, “about $840 more a year,” according to Fraser Institute.
sounds like he impressed the crowd….wowed the crowd with his answer on the Omar Khadr payout….was that a setup or are we really that stupid?
if ever there was a group of people that needed a real kick in the arse it was those people and the rcmp.
They were all young people. They are that stupid. Libs take advantage of their naivete, so these things are always set up to draw a young crowd.
Nicely summed up.
Here’s a question for you Mr.PM regarding your travels across the country, prancing around at these events, answering questions in dramatic election style fashion all at taxpayer’s expense?
How is any of this an economic benefit to any Canadian, least of all to your cherished middle class Canadian?
I hate to say it but I still have doubts about the choice for Conservative leader. He’s not looking like one who can draw attention,spark things up against he Shiny one. Maybe that’s a good thing for some voters but it will not grab the attention of the element that helped put Trudeau into Office.
We shall see how he handles the media which still has attitude.
Liz;
Got a email from our ex-PM yesterday asking for money, surprise! Much I liked about Harper but his rep for exceeds his accomplishments. Many conservatives like me are truly disappointed in the squandered opportunity of the Harper majority. Virtually no effort to establish a process for disseminating conservative fiscal philosophy. Actually little to no effort to defend the philosophical body politic of conservatism. All the Harper Tories could do was shut down the Riding Associations role in defending and promoting policy.
Financial literacy, not promoted by the CPC, and now exploited by the Liebels/progressives in Canada. There are many within the CPC who are no better than the Liebels and Dippers. My sending money to the CPC is wasted money IMHO. The only change that will come to Canada will be as a result of a major economic disruption. Even then it might not mean a reassertion of fiscal prudence. It could easily mean a continuation of the government’s growing share of the national economy. Yes, more Venezuela.
I agree.
I always did think that John McCain was a Democrat/Obama mole.

The town hall was held at McMaster University which would explain the young audience. Most in the hall were probably getting class credit from their gender studies professor for attending.
You can tell the planted questions because Sock Boy will begin his response by saying “That’s a great question” and then go into his spiel for which he has memorized his talking points.
A lot of Tim Hortons’ employees will be out of work soon – no job, no wages, no benefits. The estimated cost to a franchisee of Wynne-bag’s wage hike is about one-quarter million bucks a year. The parent company of Timmies is saying “not our problem” and will not reduce supply costs, raise prices, or reduce couponing. Many customers are now boycotting these mean people who are trying to make a profit in a low margin business – that will really help the bottom line.
Watch out ,he was a bouncer for 6 months. Obviously paying Omar was the right thing to do. I am however, slightly confused . I know when I do the right thing I do not have to attempt to hide it from people. I do not have to investigate to determine who leaked the fact I did the right thing. And I do not have to do the right thing in such a manner as to protect the person I have I have done the right thing for from any consequence. One thing I have learned in life though , is you can be right for the moment, but it doesn’t mean you will always be right. I am referring to the Boyle incident and the happenstance that there is a connection to Omar . I would also say there is better than a fair chance we have not heard the last of Omar and his family and their activities.
I think it is too soon to dismiss Scheer, but I too am beginning to have regrets. At this point I think we do not need an even-tempered congenial leader. We need a pit bull — someone to grab attention, make noise and go after the shallow pretty boy. Bernier was better suited to that role. Someone needs to wake-up Canadians who are being lead down the garden path into globalism by their Liberal masters. The agenda here is not is what is best for Canada — it is to toe the globalist line. That the media fails to notice the problem is depressing.
The Liberals seem to have made an error by including the “pro-abortion” clause in their applications for student grants. Yesterday in the news, some bureaucrat was emphatic that you would not be considered if you did not check the box agreeing that you are not anti-abortion. Churches have balked. Trudeau tried to weasel out of this in his town hall by claiming it is just for activists. That is not what the form says, and they will have to change the wording if what he states is accurate. I think they will try to hide the discrimination and violation of Canadian rights. As usual, Liberal duplicity.

Scheer is toast. He did an interview with the Globe & Mail the other day and admitted that he would still not march in a Gay Pride parade. To the Media Party that’s worse than cheating on his wife.
“What Mental Problems?”
Imagine this person then mastered branding to the point that people paid to license his name on hotels, resorts and other buildings across the world. Imagine that over the next few decades this friend also:”
Bought and developed 19 golf courses.”
Was on the cover of Time Magazine in 1989 and named the magazine’s Person of the Year in 2016.”
Produced and starred in a reality TV show for 11 years that attracted more than 20 million viewers in its first season.”
Wrote multiple bestselling books on business.”
Then suppose this friend, having never previously held public office, decided to run for president, where he led the Republican field in polls every week but one. He beat 16 other Republicans to win the nomination. And he took on and defeated the entire elite media, which could not stand him, and published and talked about every negative “fact” they could conjure.”
And he keeps beating them. Yes, that is crazy – I’m referring to the never Trumpers; the man himself – crazy like a fox.
As for actual crazy – how about weaponizing the FBI and DoJ on the assumption he could be defeated or fear he could win.

I got one of those too CT.
And I as much as I was a Harper fan…I concur with your comments. That the CBC is still publicly financed being the biggest standout of Conservative FAILURE.
I replied to that e-mail that what we need is a leader and candidates that wont knukle under to PC Garbage…and to me that is what we have – limp wristed wankers all under the yoke of Leftist Political correctness allowing that madness to continue to destroy our Country.

“Fusion GPS Admits They Used John McCain to Pass Anti-Trump Dossier to Obama-Era Intel Agencies
“The founders of the controversial opposition research firm Fusion GPS admitted that they helped the researcher hired to compile the infamous, largely discredited 35-page dossier on President Donald Trump to share the document with Sen. John McCain.
The goal of providing the dossier to McCain, the Fusion GPS founders explained, was to pass the information contained in the questionable document to the U.S. intelligence community under the Obama administration.”

How deliciously ironic that the church was occupied by Greenpeace protestors. Well at least it is not being converted to a mosque.

For an added point he hash-tagged the post with ‘#SanctimoniousHollywood.’

Chomiak noted he edited the paper first in Crakow (Cracow), Poland and then in Vienna. The reason he edited the paper in Vienna was because he had to flee with his Nazis colleagues as the Russians advanced into Poland. (The Russians tended to execute collaborators well as SS members).

Good for Scheer. That decision will not do him in, and at least he is taking a clear stand that many people support. Given the ungodly politics of the Liberals, I wondering why there are not more Catholic Conservatives.

Yes,he got away with not answering another question,as he always does.
But did you hear the applause when he finished his non-answer? Most of the audience wasn’t even aware of his obfuscation and verbal sleight-of-hand. And when he ended with,”I’m so glad to be with an audience of Canadians”,I believe several in the audience had orgasms.
This S.O.B. is going to be a formidable opponent in 2019, we can mock him all we like,but 40% of Canadians still love the guy.
this touches on a MAJOR beef I have with far too many leading conservatives; they absoloutely adore ‘central control’.
parsing out regional autonomy on issues that need it doesnt happen with hard core conservatives and control freaks like harper.
THAT explains why conservatives have always had an uphill battle in canuckistan, even in times of big majoroty govts, they default to traditional central control methods.
it is strangely a major aspect they share with hard core communists. all about power and control; cant trust the natives to govern their own affairs, gotta bark orders and call the shots across the board.
it is strangely a major aspect they share with hard core communists. all about power and control;
Conservatives in the US and Canada were taken over long ago by the Trotskyite ideology…hence the communist flavour in politics of the so-called right, resulting in a long slow descent into authoritarian control no matter who’s in power.
Two sides of the same coin.
Trudeau doesn’t run the country. No prime minister does. We do.
