For tonight’s musical entertainment, we present what one vlogger refers to as the “Top 10 Most Important Moments in Music History“. One suspects that SDA commenters have their own list!
Your tips are, as always, most welcome!
P.S. Happy 86th birthday, mom!

It’s official – Canada’s PM is the dumbest person in Canada:
https://www.google.ca/amp/www.cbc.ca/amp/1.4523781
It isn’t just the “US Right” that thinks he may be the dumbest leader on the planet. Though the ex bus driver Maduro in Venezuela is certainly in the top few as well.
So Justin is going to U.S.A.to mingle with Obama’s people to promote NAFTA. Very smart, brilliant, just wrong timing as Obama is not the president anymore.

Top 10 Most Important Moments in Music History
Rapper’s delight and Beethoven on the same list. Interesting.
I know the list is just for fun but in the early thirties Les Paul built an electric guitar and recorded the sounds it made. Wouldn’t that be an important moment since most of the acts on the list use the instrument?
Names like T-bone Walker, Big Bill Broonzy, Artrhur Crudup etc. are just some of the early adopters of the electric guitar who paved the way for the rock acts on that list.

We need an intervention fast before “man” becomes extinct in Canada. Trudeau probably considers himself a feminist as opposed to a man.
He is beyond an embarrassment, we as a country are also looking like we are mentally challenged for electing this silly person to a majority government.
Turdeau flits off to the USA while BC and AB engage in a escalating trade war that has happened because of federal inaction. If Westerners ever had any doubt of where they rank in national importance the message should be resonating loud and clear. We talk about lack of depth in intellect of our PM and he proves it each day.
As a BC’er I am in complete agreement with Alberta’s actions. The Americans have been shipping crude oil to Anacortes for 50 years with no appreciable incident. I hope AB escalates their trade restrictions to the point that it materially hurts the BC economy. In the process they might expose the NDP for the light weight thinkers they are. The irony is that the AB gov’t is also Dippers. To give Notly credit she actually put a figure of $1.5 billion in lost AB government revenue if the TransMountain is not built. IMHO that is a gross understatement but at least the job of educating citizens has begun.
I suggest the AB government start refusing entry of CNR trains loaded out of Prince Rupert into ALberta. Start selectively and then escalate to a total shutdown. Shutdown BC access to the Alberta gas and oil supply.
Elon Musk and SpaceX launch a Tesla into outer space. Very spectacular launch, the side boosters fall back to Earth and land safely, the main booster fails to land and now the Tesla is headed to an asteroid belt.

The Pino grudgeo war has started between AB/BC. Notley has said no to BC wine in the province.
BC will retaliate. A trade war is certain.
I’ve raised this before but if one province can stop another from selling it’s resources on the world market what’s the point of the country? Why bother?
“I suggest the AB government start refusing entry of CNR trains loaded out of Prince Rupert into ALberta.”
Holy shit CT, cranking things up is NOT the answer.
I am also in BC, having split my life between BC and AB I have friends and family throughout both provinces. I support pipelines and the oil industry’s ability to get product to market and am most definitely NOT some kind of greentard. That said, I have grave concerns myself about the tanker traffic it will create. The US Navy, who I would assume is a world leader in technology and procedure has pretty much just proven to us single-handedly that shipping accidents are UNAVOIDABLE.
I think it is insanity to operate high volumes of these massive ships in such notoriously narrow, busy, hazard-ridden waterways.
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/a-tankers-journey-through-bc-waters-carrying-oil-from-the-kinder-morganpipeline/article35070386/
“These precautions reflect the risk. The Concerned Professional Engineers group notes that this bridge has been knocked out of commission five times because of ship collisions. Aframax tankers like the Eser K are five times heavier than the largest of those vessels, and the group estimates that such a vessel could knock the bridge right off its foundations and carry the bridge superstructure into the adjacent highway bridge that lies 110 metres to the west.”
Burnaby is NOT an appropriate international shipping port for oil.

Do try to curb your NIMBY hysteria.
Tankering oil is a necessary and acceptable risk. And I will humour by pretending a big spill were to happen.
What would be the long term environmental impact. Go look at where Valdez happened now and try and find evidence that it is having an impact now. Ditto the much larger spill caused by the BP rig.
And compare that to the PERMANENT massive environmental damage caused by hydro reservoirs around the globe.
Were there to be a spill – that your shrieking harridans in that “concerned” article claim is 10 percent over the facility’s life time (50 years? 100 years?) we are talking about an area that is very easily contained and were recovery infrastructure is literally a couple miles away. This mitigation will be very high and as I note above the damage whatever it is will be temporary.

Not to be a “lookist” … but just LOOK at your PM ! Effeminate doesn’t begin to describe its “look” and mannerism. Canada’s Dear Leader is just the sweetest looking homersexual boy toy twink in the history of Pride Parades (outside of Obama, of course). For some reason I can just imagine him wearing a studded dog collar, leather halter and leash. And his Muslim leash-holders jus LOVE playing with young “persons”
Your PM isn’t even a beta male … he is lambda panda. When he is sexually harassing women in the Ministry … it’s as a lesbian lover … not as a leading man.
The AB/BC dust up could lead to a constitutional crisis. Odd how a trudeau can evolk this repose.
The legality of the country hangs in the balance. Maybe Canada isn’t a real country as Lucifer Bouchard once opined.
While being covered in the msm, this may be of interest to those who have managed to push themselves away from the Tv …
“Newly revealed text messages between FBI paramours Peter Strzok and Lisa Page include an exchange about preparing talking points for then-FBI Director James Comey to give to President Obama, who wanted “to know everything we’re doing.”
The message, from Page to Strzok, was among thousands of texts between the lovers reviewed by Fox News. The pair both worked at one point for Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.”

Just to confirm what most were already thinking…
.
Do try to curb your arrogant ignorance.
This is a densely populated urban area with all the infrastructure and congestion to go with it, not “where Valdez happened”. Are you so close-minded or uneducated as not to see that or were you too focused on making some lame segue into the evils of hydro-electric power? Waste your rantings on someone else.
Now, back to the grown-up discussion… It would be far better if they extended the pipeline to Tsawwassen and GREATLY reduced the risk tankers would have to navigate.

PM Sock Puppet is a friend of OBUMMER with both learning from SOROS a ONE WORLD GOV’T is what they are working on. They want to interfere with GOP’s Decision about NAFTA. It will be terminated as Trump will prove it is a bad deal for the USA. Thank God Killary never got in as President, as would have had illegal immigrants running all over US and Canada.
Breaking News!
Obama meddled in the FBI’s Clinton “probe” … (yeah, some probe). This despite Obama’s GUARANTEE that he remained strictly hands-off
OBAMA: “I can guarantee. I can guarantee that not because I give Attorney General [Loretta] Lynch a directive, that is institutionally how we have always operated. I do not talk to the Attorney General about pending investigations. I do not talk to FBI directors about pending investigations. We have a strict line and always have maintained it. I guarantee it. I guarantee that there is no political influence in any investigation conducted by the Justice Department or the FBI, not just in this case but in any case. Period. Nobody gets treated differently when it comes to the Justice Department because nobody is above the law.”
WALLACE: “Even if she ends up as the Democratic nominee?”
OBAMA: “How many times do I have to say it, Chris? Guaranteed.”
http://dailym.ai/2nQqUfD
As an aside … every new picture I see of so-called FBI Agent Lisa Page (more accurately: FBI-DNC Agent) drives home the fact that she must be one hell of a minx in bed … or a gourmet cook … or something … because as far as arm-candy goes … she’s the mashed snickers bar you find at the bottom of your Halloween bag leftover from 25 years ago.
Either that … or Strzok-Page had a Bill-Hillary kind of relationship … weirdly a hands off “business relationship”

PM Unicorn Hugger wants to finish what PET started and make it permanent.
It isn’t just that he portrays himself as, well, you know. He simply doesn’t behave like a mature middle-aged adult.

Beyond childish.
“So Justin is going to U.S.A.to mingle with Obama’s people to promote NAFTA. Very smart, brilliant, just wrong timing as Obama is not the president anymore.”
Nonsense, Our Dear Leader is the perfect Canadian PM to deal with the new Clinton administration in Washington.
Oh, wait…
To complete your list you need to add Sister Rosetta Thorpe who’s electric guitar playing was a huge influence on the rock ‘n’ roll that followed. And there wouldn’t be any modern rock or blues guitar without the huge influence of Charlie Patton, mentor to Robert Johnson, Howlin’ Wolf and many others. Charlie Patton was also a showman and played his guitar behind his back or between his legs. Go listen to those two and you will see where rock ‘n’ roll, rock, and the blues came from.
If you haven’t seen it PBS ran a 3 part documentary last year called American Epic about the recordings made in the 20s and 30s, the genesis of rock ‘n’ roll, country, gospel, even rap. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
Re: Jordan Peterson’s interview on Fox and Friends … I want to turn to the discussion they had about the epidemic cancellations of “Father-daughter” dances because some fatherless daughters or self-identified gender neutrals might be triggered and get all weepy … let me offer another one of my personal life stories …
I grew up as a motherless child. Yes, my own biological mother literally went to court to give up her parental rights to my brother and I (in 1964! when this kind of thing NEVER happened). Yes, cut off all relationship and responsibility as a mother. And as a liberated mother … she “visited” my brother and I exactly ONCE. She did this because her new husband had raised his 4-adult boys and was “over it”. Over the whole parenting thing. And my brother and I were no trouble whatsoever … perfect – no – we were kids … but certainly no handful to raise. BTW … she knew fully well that she was releasing us into the sole custody of her alcoholic, dysfunctional, ex-husband my good ol’ Dad. My mother CHOSE her second husband over her own (only) children.
The purpose of another one of my life’s stories? I should be “triggered” at every mention of “mother”. I should recoil into the fetal position on “Mother’s Day”. I should HATE women. I should demand our society erase any and all observance of anything “mother”. I should be a raving Pro-abortionist … wishing NO woman ever become a mother. I should embrace gender neutrality. All because my mommy lotto ticket was a loser. Of course none of this true. My experience has caused me to revere and love mothers … intact families … and respect women who behave like women … giving, nurturing, protecting (esp. of their own offspring). I treasure women. Love women … and tend to hang out with women at parties instead of talk sports with the guys. I couldn’t even IMAGINE myself saying that the Girl Scouts should be abolished because of the mother-daughter activities. Sheesh.
What I have been taught is that SELFISHNESS can be an UGLY human characteristic. My own mother’s selfishness (perhaps self-preservation) trumped her biological instincts.
Final anecdote … while on her deathbed one of my half-brothers (by her remarriage) called me in 1990 (first time I’d heard from him since 1965) to say that my mother wanted to see me before she died. So I dutifully loaded my wife and 3-children into one of my unfortunate mini-van purchases to see their dying grandmother whom they’d never met … to let her know that I’d done alright. We chatted and I did my best to let her know that I had no hard feelings and that I’d understood the choices she made. But her response still rings in my wife’s ear as the most unbelievable thing she’s ever heard … my mother asked me … “why did you never try to find me, and come visit your mother.” I was too kind to say all the things I wanted to … and left shortly thereafter to take the kids on The Universal Studios Tour. My kids had a ball!

Very nice of you to say … thank you … however …
If my mother-interrupted weren’t dying during our ONLY visit since I was 10-years old … in 35 years … the conversation would have been VERY different. When I graduated from college, struggling, facing the world “dead broke” (to borrow HER quote) and frankly a LOT scared … I would have torn her a new one … along with my alchy-father. However, 35 years gives one a very different perspective. When but a child, when this all went down, my brother and I were bewildered, stunned, and almost catatonic at what had just happened to us … without any hint or warning. Ripped out of our schools, mid year, and dropped into an unknown environment. We were in SHOCK … I think fair to say … a true medical/psychological state of SHOCK. Mom had just declared herself to be our ENEMY. Sheesh. But time and experience gives one valuable perspective and if I dare say, wisdom. And as a Christian adult, I commend my mother into God’s hands … and anything that may entail.
Which is a reminder that our schools should be teaching character and forbearance rather than capitulation to emotional slights. Life’s a bitch, and then you die. Get used to it … and your life will start improving almost immediately. Hey! I’m starting to sound like Jordan Peterson. In many ways, my parents did me a favor … they “taught me” *snicker* “forced me” to be self-reliant. And taught me to be a keen judge of character. I “read” people very well. I can tell quite quickly who are the bullshitters and who are genuinely solid characters. And that skill allowed me to accept life-saving help from a variety of people who lifted me up and supported me … I didn’t survive completely on my own accord. The kindness of newfound friends, strangers, and family quite literally saved my life and made me who I am. Oh … and the government social support structure helped along the way … and functioned EXACTLY as it should … providing just enough help to allow me to help myself.
Erasing Father-Daughter dances to accommodate potential emotional hurt … is a crippling act. It is like FORCING children to walk with crutches when they have two perfectly good legs. We should always encourage exercising … always.
We live in interesting times here in AB. Things are changing by the hour. BC premier Whoregan has called a news conference for this afternoon. Whatever could he be up to? More sanctions against Alberta?
He owes his premiership to the 2 greenies who hold the balance of power. They set the dance card and he, well he dances to their tune.
The ndp are in a civil war. Whoregan vs Notley. Alberta vs BC. For the love of the country why doesn’t the boss (Jagmeat Singh) step in – call the recalcitrant children to the principles office. Force them to apologize to each other, shake hands and settle. It’s the ndp way….isn’t it?
Ha ha looks good on all of ’em.
Now bongo says his ‘peoplekind’ comment was an attempt at humour. Not very funny but hey that’s all there was too it.
Sure bongo you were a bouncer once as well…. probably in a comedy club….
exactly. how long did the valdez cleanup take?

pls pls pls sda, do NOT be dismissive of the risks of enormous oil spills in very sensitive areas.
tq for sharing that kenji. I can relate. my parents consisted of a drunk and a sexual abuser. (which was which?)
for the life of me I cannot explain, after those 10 formative years of getting beat up regularly and the rest of it, why, why, why ‘they’ didnt cultivate a serial killer or a suicide.
something resilient and permanent within me held on. having a form of autism, I didn’t even ‘get’ the full impact of the alienation I went thru.
the only satisfactory explanation I have come up with, there is a God, He ministered over me, steered me away from the extremely dangerous stuff, physical, psychological etc because *He has a plan for me*. I cannot list all the ‘near misses’ I’ve had. cannot be explained by ‘coincidence’.
and now, well suffice to say, for example, after starting my first full time permanent job in 1972, within about 3 years I packed on about 50 pounds of solid muscle. NO ONE got near my family after that.

“Syrian refugees escape the war, but freeze to death
On a rocky, plowed hillside last month, 17 Syrians froze to death in a night-time snowstorm while trying to cross the mountains into Lebanon.
The plan was for them to be driven to the border in private cars. From there, they would walk with the smugglers for half an hour into Lebanon, where they would be met by other cars.
But the smugglers abandoned the group when the snow began to fall. The group lost their way in the dark and the cold, and most of them died.”
