  1. So, our government does everything it can to prevent Canadian oil from being exported. Meanwhile Putin is selling oil to the US Pacific Northwest. Some of our governments are traitors to our post national country.

    “The 229-metre vessel — no supertanker — was carrying 600,000 to 650,000 barrels of crude oil for conversion at one of Anacortes’ two oil refineries where gasoline, diesel and jet fuel are produced for use by residents and businesses of Washington State and Oregon.

    Nordtulip wasn’t coming from Alaska. Instead, its cargo originated in Vladivostok, Russia, and the ship carried its cargo for 40 days across the Pacific Ocean to Anacortes.”

    1. Why should this be surprising? Prince Dummkopf is laying siege to western Canada, Alberta in particular, in order to starve us into submission, just like his official daddy did. The “environmental” excuses were just that, which, of course, suited Duke Buttsy just fine.

    2. Eighteen (12) days from Valdez, Alaska to Shanghai. I’ve worked the numbers & map; posted those stats before on this blog. Only 1800 miles of pipeline to lay to do it, too. Pipe McMurray (hell, ALL Alberta oil or gas) to Valdez for off take contracts to Asia. Save 2-3 days on shipping cost from Burnaby. At about $30,000/day VLCC tanker lease rates, that’s not chump change. End run BC & cut them off. If Seattle is being supplied from Vladivostok, it must pay to ship from there, than from Texas, if they can’t get Canadian crude from us down a GD pipeline! Run the pipe along the Alaska Hwy in Yukon. They used to pipeline av gas to fuel airplanes shipped to Russia during the war, flown up the Hwy. The pipe is till laying on the ground in places, right next to the pavement.

      Run pipe from McMurray to High Level, north to Indian Cabins (Hwy 35), east along the road to Fort Liard, cross country to Watson Lake & hook up to the Alaska Hwy there. On to Valdez up the A Hwy. You save 2 days shipping from there than Burnaby.

      We used to do things in this country. Now, all we do is pick the lint out from our bellies & whine about gender issues, while importing the world’s cast offs. Buncha fairies & old wymyn running the place.

  2. Widow Of Man Killed In Fredericton Shooting Called Justin Trudeau A “Piece Of Sh*t” During Phone Call. Melissa Robichaud gets it right.

    According to the CP, “Melissa Robichaud said her family was hurt the prime minister did not reach out to them Sunday while in the city, where he paid public tribute to Constables Robb Costello and Sara Burns at city hall. Robichaud said Trudeau told her he had wanted to give his condolences for the death of her husband, Donnie Robichaud, but couldn’t because he was meeting with families of the police officers.”

    In response, Robichaud explained what she said:

    “So I said so what. They wear a vest, they carry a gun, that makes them more important than one of us? I called him a piece of (expletive).”

    1. She’s right. I am no anti-police or EMS dude, but the unions have worked very hard to elevate these people and their efforts into the stratosphere and we all know why – to get them more money, better benefits and pensions and to make criticism of them not just politically incorrect but verboten.
      PM Teardrop couldn’t even call those kids because it wouldn’t get him a photo-op and because on his farm some animals are more equal than others.

      1. Ms. Robichaud’s comments are still being censored by much of the pro-Trudeau media. CBC News and the corrupt Globe and Mail are censoring the story. The CTV News web page covered it. The local newspaper here in Fredericton covered this story. Many people I have talked to this past week have complained about the skewed coverage — with the two civilian victims being largely ignored. The two latter victims were low-income working-class young people, a common thing in this poor province.

        It is raining here in Fredericton today. This summer road-repair crews in the city have torn many of the streets up this summer, making city driving difficult with a myriad of detours to navigate. So the police remembrance parade will make traffic even more difficult — so much so that my wife and I are staying home to watch the parade and service on TV. I still do volunteer research at the university, where the service is being held, and the university has shut down half the campus for today.

    2. Yesterday, I was chatting with someone about the incident. In our conversation, she referred to two of her relatives.

      One of them can’t stand Prince Dipsydoodle.

      The other one, however, seemed to be dazed and confused about him, figuring that he makes such mistakes because he has so many “important decisions” to make. As is often said on SDA, you can’t fix stupid. I’m afraid that such an attitude about him will help get him re-elected.

    3. Conservatives worship a false god — the unholy trinity of the military-industrial-spying complex. Blue people are the armed enforcers of the MIS complex. These are your people. Perhaps you should look into the mirror.

      1. Leftist trolls shoot there mouth off about others beliefs without having a clue what those beliefs really are.

      2. “[T]he unholy trinity of the military-industrial-spying complex.”

        Ha ha ha ha!

        Would that Canada actually had a military-industrial-spying complex.

        It might at least mean we were a serious, bloody-minded nation to be reckoned with rather than a “post-national” muddle of dilettante navel-gazers.

    BOMBINGS WORSE THAN NAGASAKI AND HIROSHIMA

    On August 14, 1945, after the two atomic bombs had been dropped on Japan, and after Emperor Hirohito had agreed to surrender because “the enemy now possesses a new and terrible weapon with the power to destroy many innocent lives and do incalculable damage,” General Henry Harley “Hap” Arnold, to boost his already over-inflated ego (he was made a five-star general in 1944), undertook a completely unnecessary act of terror from the skies over Japan that had never before been seen.

    Why is it that the 9/11 attacks on America are considered acts of terrorism but a 1000-plane bombing raid on Tokyo after the dropping of two atomic bombs isn’t?

    Pearl Harbor or no Pearl Harbor, the bombing of Tokyo on August 14, 1945, was a despicable act — worse than the firebombing of Tokyo, worse than Hiroshima, and worse than Nagasaki — because it was so unnecessary.

      1. Smith 187–188 notes that though the daytime bombers had already attacked Japan, the night bombers had not yet taken off when radio notification of the surrender was received.

        Smith, John B.; Malcolm McConnell (2002). The Last Mission: The Secret Story of World War II’s Final Battle.

      2. I’m interested and have read extensively about the history of WW2 and in particular the war in the Pacific theater. It’s history. It was a different time. People had different perspectives, attitudes, and beliefs. That’s why it’s interesting and why it’s called history. You will not understand the actions unless you understand these perspectives, attitudes, and beliefs.

        People who look back and second guess and criticize events of 75 years ago are “Monday morning quarterbacks” and are always….. always…. motivated by some political philosophy (usually by pretending to have some higher moral ground) that they hope to suck you into debating. When they do, I just say NO. You should too.

        1. I like to remind those POS that true virtue does not signal.
          You should too, I want to see that become a thing. What would the left do if they could no longer signal but instead were required to possess virtue? Oh, yeah, they would move to the right.

    1. You POS! I had two uncles and two cousins killed in WW ll. Unlike you they had no choice and had to answer the call. Had another cousin in a Japanese POW camp. Love to send you to a North Korea prison for some R&R.

    2. “Why is it that the 9/11 attacks on America are considered acts of terrorism but a 1000-plane bombing raid on Tokyo after the dropping of two atomic bombs isn’t?”
      Because war had been declared and fought by both sides. Read a history book and all will be revealed.

      1. We know which side Rizzy’s on and he’d like to elevate its activities to the level of a noble cause.

        1. Do we, I am not sure if he is with MB or ShareBlue. His posts certainly seem like the Pantifa crowd, always in a bunch.

    3. War is like baking a cake …. in a tornado. What you end up with won’t be what you pictured.
      I think of the USS ARIZONA…. whenever armchair generals weigh in.

    4. The terrorist attack on 9.11 was committed by people that do not officially represent a gov’t, and were not specifically identified as being “at war” with the USA.

      They fit the UN designation of what it is to be a terrorist.

      The USA was actively in a declared war with Japan in 1945, and had warned Japan that they need to surrender or be attacked with this new bomb. Their leader declined. The US nuclear attack was the right thing to do, and further attacks were as well, until the day the Japanese had actually surrendered. Be it 2 days after, or 2 months after, or the morning of the official signing of peace aboard the USS Missouri. The Japanese had publicly said they will fight to the end, and the US believed them.

      Bombs away!

      Your attempt at revisionism in this regard is sad.

      1. How can he revise the millions of Japanese who would have died at the hands of American invaders and their own people?

        Kind of like socialists who look at only one side of the equation?

    5. Because the 9/11 attacks on America were acts of terrorism and not pursuing the war on Japan would have been wicked neglect of a necessary evil. On August 14 it was not possible to know that the bombing raid on Tokyo was unnecessary. You are suffering from a delusion: that seeing things plain in hindsight shows you are smarter than the people who had to make those decisions before anyone would get to see the outcomes.

      1. “not pursuing the war on Japan would have been wicked neglect of a necessary evil”

        Let me fix that for you.

        not pursuing the war on Japan the USSR would have been wicked neglect of a necessary evil virtue

    6. Law is used by the winners, losers,of war, get eternal peace.
      You know that the fact any Japanese still exist today, was seen as an affront and insult to natural justice,in the eyes of their former prisoners of war.
      Those that survived that is.
      The Americans showed amazing restraint.
      Shame really.
      But when you only have two bombs..
      Your continuos attempts to revise history are pathetic.

    7. soooooo there was some sort of scheduling mixup by the USAF?
      tsk tsk. tell that to ANY future aggressor that shucksamighty, if’n t’ings start to go ummm, ‘sideways’, your target nation may make a deadly but honest mishtake as to when and who on YOUR side gets the next helping.
      it’s AAAALLLLLLLL part of that well rehearsed reality play called war. 2nd cousin to ‘unintended consequences’ and ‘be careful what you wish for’.
      the japs invaded Manchurai in 1931. THAT is when WW II started in the Pacific. *14 YEARS of it* by 1945
      according to you the ‘mercuns ‘missed’ the end by one day. oopsie !!! at least they didnt miss the target !!!

  4. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/christie-blatchford-lawyer-who-has-two-wives-and-a-bundle-of-legal-trouble-agrees-to-temporarily-stop-practising

    I stop trying to figure out this guys motives after this point in the story.

    ” The 58-year-old Morton, a former president of the Ontario Bar Association and of the federal Liberal riding association in Thornhill, wasn’t present at the Law Society hearing Friday but consented to the temporary lifting of his Ontario law licence through his lawyer, Stephen Bernstein.”

    Liberal, and a past president of the bar association, ok that explains the situation and why he hasn’t been disbarred.

    1. “Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same.” Oscar Wilde

      So would he have been disbarred for doing something illegal or simply because he was being foolish?

      1. I would bet on the former. They don’t always get disbarred for doing things that are illegal, but I have never heard of one disbarred for being foolish.

    “Throwing Away Electricity

    Germany is on course to produce more renewable energy than needed to meet demand”

    “There’s no such thing as a free lunch, but there could be free electricity, at least on occasion. The march of renewable-energy production means that by 2040 as much as 7.3 terawatt-hours of excess power could be produced some weeks in Germany and generators may be asked to disconnect from the grid to prevent it becoming unstable, according to Bloomberg NEF. More likely, new uses will be found for the unused output, especially if it’s cheap, said Thomas Knight, a BNEF analyst.”

    1. Execute terrorists during peak periods of electrical production.

      That analyst with the new uses idea is loopy as hell, does he really picture factories sitting around fully staffed in the dark waiting for the cheap electricity? Does he even comprehend how much 7.3 terrawatt hours is? That is about what Limestone generating station on the Nelson river produces running continuously. Does the analyst really think they will find somebody willing to sit around idle with infrastructure ready to absorb gigawatts on demand? Maybe they could find a large lake and flood it with acid before dumping in gigatons of lead.

    2. “The march of renewable-energy production means that by 2040…….”

      Ah, Yeah. Okay. And don’t forget the battery breakthrough, fusion energy, Mars colonization, asteroid mining, and near collapse of the world due to AGW …… all coming by 2040. It should be a big year.

    1. It’s a RACIST bill!!!

  6. Not a tip but a question.

    I have been away for a week and now SDA Leave a Reply no longer remembers my name and email address when I comment. Anyone know why this is?

    1. Ken, Why is my Breitbart News now going automatically to the Trash file? That’s been happening for 2 weeks now.

  7. My letter to the editor in response to the National Post’s Saturday Front Page:

    Sir/Madam
    The list the NP presents is a typical Establishment production. It gives the sort of advice Joe Clarke would like. How about the missing elephants:

    1. Enable job creation
    a. Build pipelines
    b. Reduce taxes
    c. Kill Green policies
    2. Present Conservative policies

    1. You mean the REAL Canada, as it should always have been, don’t you? In other words, the last 151 years were simply for practice, though we were on our way there 1968 – 1984.

      Wee Juthtin, (post-national) statesman at large….. Then again, as the wise man once said, if all one has is a hammer, every problem becomes a nail.
